Li Qian thought about it and said, ”Nowadays, if people want to see it, it's very fashionable. It's very bright and beautiful, unless they follow the customs here. I decided to buy the local fashion, ”he said.
Lee Yanyi said, ”Since you've made up your mind, take a good look at the ladies' clothes here.”
Li Qian said, ”I have been very careful. There were quite a few beautiful ladies dressed in a perfect outfit. Some of them are dressed extravagantly, some of them are simply dressed, and all of them look pleasing to the eye. ”
Li Yao said, ”Then you must take care of a role model and dress up like her.”
The two siblings walked on for a distance. Li Qian pointed forward and said, ”It seems that there are many people there. Let's go and take a look.” If there's a suitable hotel, we'll book a room first, then go out and buy some clothes. ” Li Yashun pointed to it and nodded in agreement.
Before long, the two of them had arrived. It was the heart of Cross Street. All around, all the way to the north, people moving in and out of sight, cars coming in and out of sight. Left sometimes shun the inn, the right day of the popular shops. Looking down the street, he saw many shops. Shops, hotels, restaurants, clothing stores, embroidery shops, barbershops, shoe repair shops, framed shops... He couldn't see the end of it. In some shops, there were chartered cars, vendors, and loud shouts.
After reading, Lee Yanyi said, ”This is probably the center of the bustle, the most bustling place in the entire city. We'll live here. ”
The two headed straight for the Shun Inn. When you get closer, see the front door decorate fresh and beautiful. The stairs rose higher and higher. The cloister was winding all the way to the pavilion. The fence was embroidered and the building was three stories high. On the floral window, there is ”congratulations on your fortune,” and on the door, ”Welcome.” The two of them enjoyed the scene and walked up the stairs.
The worker was wearing an embroidered dress. He was a mister and welcomed the two of them outside. ”Welcome to the store, both of you! Would you two like to stay in the inn? ”
Lee Yanyi nodded and asked, ”Are there any other rooms?”
The assistant said, ”Yes.” There were large rooms, there were small rooms, there were also suites, and there were also two small rooms in the large room. ”You can ensure that it will be suitable for you and the young miss to stay here.”
The shop assistant led the way up the stairs. Lee Yanyi looked around as she walked. Everywhere she passed, the facilities had to be clean and tidy. The walls were white against the snow, and the room was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The waiter stopped in front of a door, opened it, and smiled. ”Please have a look, this is the most luxurious room in our shop. It just so happens that it is used to entertain distinguished guests like the two of you.”
When Lee Yanyi looked inside, she saw that the furnishings were exquisite, like a living room with two beautifully decorated bedrooms. Lee Yanyi turned around and said to the shop assistant, ”Thank you, sir!” This is where we siblings will live. ”
The assistant wrote in his store book and asked, ”How many days do you two want to stay here?”
”We're here to look for relatives. We can't leave until we find relatives,” Li Yao said.
The clerk said, ”I don't think it will be too hard for you two to find your relatives. At most, a day or two. Then write it for two days. Two for six dollars. ”
After Lee Yanyi handed over the money, the assistant asked again: ”Which street do you live on? What alley? ”
Li Yao said, ”Speaking of which, I'm ashamed. We haven't even been to a relative's house, so we don't know his address.” Before he came, he heard from others that he lived in Chaozhou City. ”
The assistant said, ”The ingredients are easy to find.” After saying that, he left.
Lee Yanyi asked, ”Sir, what kind of street is this? What alley? ”
This is Crossroads Street,” said the clerk. ”It's the busiest place in the city. With ten big deals lined up here, people usually call it Ten Streets. To the east is the Satin Lane; to the west is the Embroidery Lane; to the south is the Printing and Dyeing Lane; to the back is the Sixth Mother Lane; and not far north is the Flower Street Lane.
Lee Yanyi exclaimed, ”This place is really famous!”
The shop assistant smiled and said, ”It's not a Blessed Land, but it's worth a trip.” Then he said, ”How should I address you? must be a local celebrity? ”
Li Yao said, ”My relative's surname is Dongfang, and they have two names. His father's name was famous. I wonder if mister knows these two people? ” The waiter said, ”I'm a stranger. ”Forgive me for my limited experience.”
Li Yao said, ”I'm not familiar with this place. Sir, please have the opportunity to inquire about it.” I'll thank you first. ”
The assistant said, ”You're welcome. You're welcome. I have a lot of acquaintances here, just ask for me. ” The man went downstairs.
Li Qian went into her room, put away her belongings, and came out again: ”Brother, it's still early, let's go out to buy clothes when the streets are full.”
Li Yao said, ”Now that I'm hungry, I want to go out and eat something.” The siblings locked the door and went out into the street. Li Qian said, ”Brother, let's head north to take a look. I see that it seems to have more people on it. ”
Lee Yanyi looked to the north and saw that there were indeed many people walking on the street and many shops. The two of them walked towards the north as they browsed through the city. Seeing that there was a luxurious building in the east side of the road, he thought it must be a shop. The two of them went closer to take a look. He saw several steps in front of the door, and under the eaves of the building was a row of magnificent railings. A few brightly dressed, freshly painted girls were standing against the railing. There were a few flowerbeds outside the railing, and a few cart-pulling flowerbeds were parked at the edge of the yard, then turned around and joked with the girls inside the railing.
Li Qian only paid attention to the girls and asked Li Yao, ”Brother, this is the theater garden, right? Why are those girls dressed so brightly? ” When Li Yan saw the sign that read ”Pear Fragrance Garden”, she turned her head and said, ”Don't look at it, little sister.” Let's get out of here. This is a brothel. ” The two of them continued forward and saw three brothels in succession. Li Yao said, ”This is really depressing. Let's go back.”
The two walked back a few steps and turned west. They saw a tall tower in front of them. Li Yao said, ”Little sister, I saw that the rice bowl with red cloth on it was fresh. It must be a good restaurant. We'll eat there first, then we'll go buy clothes. ” Li Qian was already unable to endure the hunger any longer and nodded in agreement.
