Shanghai, an international metropolis, is a prosperous resort in the modern history of China.

Li Fan has always felt that the old Shanghai, where there is no war and conspiracy, must be a very ideal time and space for survival, cheongsam, foreign cars, alleys, singing and dancing everywhere, drunk and golden.

He was under the French plane tree, quietly wandering in the warm and humid night, he was wearing an elegant white suit, combing his oily and shiny hairstyle, quietly watching the eldest lady of the Gu family walking briskly towards him with an oil-paper umbrella, and then said with a smile and a gentle and sweet voice:

"Oh mom, are you asleep?"

Li Fan rubbed his eyes, "Huh? so fast?"

"It's here, what kind of dreams are you dreaming about?"

"Dream back to Shang Beach!"

The two of them took their luggage and came to the hotel that the program team had already booked in advance, but this time it was a standard two-person room, since the rat incident, Gu Yating has been fully prepared to prevent wolves and wolves.

The staff of the program team also arrived, but they had already fallen asleep, and it was already more than 1 o'clock in the second half of the night, Li Fan didn't bother, and slept separately with Gu Yating.

This hotel is a special hotel, the room is very old Shang Beach style, decoration, landline, bathroom are all the same, the bookshelves are still full of books, Li Fan did not have the spirit to go over to read.

He was so tired that he turned around and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, around 6 o'clock, there was a bang on his door.

Li Fan's eyes that were not worth his life were only one-third of wide, he put on his clothes, and walked to the door with his feet unobedied, and when he opened the door, it turned out to be Gu Yating.

"Dangdang Dang Dang! Shang Beach special xiaolongbao, do you want to eat it!"

Li Fan sniffed and sniffed, his early nose was a little less sensitive, so he sniffed again.

"Belong to a dog, brush your teeth and wash your face!" Gu Yating put the xiaolongbao on the coffee table, and went to the window to open the curtains.

A handful of cold water poured on his cheeks, Li Fan suddenly felt a lot more energetic, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth, and cleaned up his intestines, Li Fan's spirit was refreshed, and after walking to the living room, he grabbed the xiaolongbao with his legs crossed and threw it into his mouth, one two or three...... Wipe out quickly!

Gu Yating flipped through the books on the bookshelf casually, and she said: "This hotel is really very attentive, and the books are well selected, many of them are works related to Shanghai, like Zhang Ailing's works, and some old photos of Shanghai!"

Li Fan swallowed xiaolongbao and said vaguely: "Do you know Zhang Ailing's first husband?"

"Hu Lancheng, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Wang's puppet regime, once wrote for Wang Jingwei, is a well-known traitor. ”

"Well, Zhang Ailing, which is your favorite work?"

"What about you?"

"Lust and Caution!"

"Why? This book is not my cup of tea. ”

Li Fan smiled ambiguously: "If someone makes it into a movie, adds more plots, and adds some hand-to-hand combat scenes, it will be good-looking, I have been waiting for someone who will shoot it in Huaguo." ”

"Maybe, Li Fan, you come and take a look at this old photo album, it's so interesting!"

Li Fan went over with a bun in his mouth, he looked down, there was such a black and white photo on the old photo album, there was a poor family eating lunch in 1945, and the thing used to barely survive was: Yangcheng Lake hairy crab!

The album turned another page, and the four portraits on this page are the four beautiful men of the Republic of China: Wang Jingwei, Premier Zhou, Mei Lanfang and Zhang Xueliang.

The four beautiful men of the Republic of China are commented on by later generations according to modern aesthetics, and there are different versions, but in each version, Wang Jingwei and Premier Zhou are among them.

"Who is more handsome, in the eyes of you women. Li Fan pouted and went back to get the buns.

"Wang Jingwei!"

"Well, just looking at his appearance, I also think that Wang Jingwei is too beautiful to look at, looking at all the historical photos when he was young, basically Zhang Zhang is handsome and scum, and there is no doubt that he is the most handsome guy in the Republic of China. His appearance is not only highly praised by today's people, but also the people of the Republic of China are also convinced. ”

"Oh?"

Li Fan said: "First of all, in the early years of the Republic of China, there were three beautiful men, namely Wang Jingwei, Mei Lanfang and Gu Weijun. Zhang Bojun, Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Li Zongren and many other celebrities have expressed praise for Wang Jingwei's appearance, which is undoubtedly recognized as handsome.

In the early days of Wang Jingwei, the ox exploded, and the assassination of Nie Zhengwang Zaifeng was defeated, and he was arrested, and the Qing court sentenced Wang Jingwei to 'go against the grain and immediately executed him'; while in prison, he wrote impassionedly the "Essay on Generosity," in which he "drew the knife into a fast and lived up to the head of the youth." How heroic it was! The poems were also atmospheric and the articles were beautiful, but how could they have defected in the later period? A major question in history. ”

Gu Yating said: "There's no guess about this, who knows what he has experienced? Let's take a look at the respectable and lovely Prime Minister, who is masculine, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of vitality, and handsome all the way to the end!"

Li Fan nodded, "Premier Zhou is the backbone of our country." ”

"Li Fan!"

"Huh?"

"Actually, I think you look like Wang Jingwei!"

"Impossible, what's the joke?"

"Really. ”

While he was talking, there was another knock on the door, and Director Song and other staff walked into the room.

After everyone greeted each other for a while, Director Song and they were going to shoot other guests today, so they left in a hurry.

After the two of them finished the whole album, they cleaned up and went shopping.

After visiting the Bund and climbing the Oriental Pearl Tower, the two of them sweated profusely and walked around the Yu Garden.

Li Fan suddenly asked: "The last episode will be recorded tomorrow, what are your wishes, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

"Nope!"

"That's great!"

"Huh?"

"Tomorrow night recording, I ask you to sing, and practice your best singing voice at night!"

Gu Yating was taken aback, "Really, what's the spoiler?"

"Tsk, isn't this afraid that you will throw people on TV, I don't want to be embarrassed with you. ”

"Cut!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the tailor's shop to shop, whether you like the cheongsam or not, and I will order two sets for you." ”

"I like it, I like it, but what age is it, what's the use of customizing a cheongsam?

"Whatever you wear, others will kill you!"

Gu Yating nodded: "You're right to say that!"

"Hey, when did you get thicker?"

"According to what you learned, the one who is close to the 'pig' is red, hum hum!"

Li Fan had heard that there was a most famous tailor in Shanghai, Master Zhang. His tailor shop has continued from the Republic of China period to today, although the address has been changed three times, but this superb craft is well preserved, it can be said that it is the best master to make cheongsam in China, and is known as the king of handmade cheongsam by peers. Now that he is 80 years old, the old man is also going to "seal the needle".

The two of them took a taxi to this small tailor shop hidden in the bustling city, and they were surprised at first sight.

This tailor's shop is the ground floor of an old-fashioned six-storey building, and the small shop is so ordinary that no one would have thought that there was a famous craftsman here.

"Do you have an appointment?" asked a fifteen or sixteen girl with a smile.

Li Fan shook his head.

"I'm sorry, because of my grandfather's health, we won't pick it up for the time being. ”

Li Fan felt great regret and asked again: "Please also ask Master Zhang to take care of your health, then it will not be difficult for us to be the old man." ”

"Thank you for your understanding, your voice sounds familiar!"

The two of them left the tailor shop, and Li Fan said: "You are not blessed, this old man's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world." ”

Gu Yating smiled faintly: "Let it be!"

After visiting the major scenic spots in Shanghai City, at 7 o'clock in the evening, after the two returned to the hotel, Li Fan left the hotel by going to meet a leader of Shanghai Satellite TV.

……

Shanghai Gymnasium.

At this time, the stage was rehearsing nervously, Sun Feifei was wearing a suit with a narrow waist and thin legs, and was conducting the final round of rehearsals with her dance partners.

Shanghai Stadium is the first stop of her world tour, and it is not to be missed, the sound, lighting, choreography, costumes, etc. are almost perfect, which can be called luxury.

Under the guidance of his assistant, Li Fan walked to the side of the stage, put his hands in his pockets, and quietly watched the sexy and hot dance on the stage.

"Li Fan, can you sign for me?"

Li Fan smiled, took the notebook in the assistant's hand, signed it, and asked again: "When will Sister Feifei rehearse?"

"It's almost time, time for a cigarette!"

It is usually smokers who describe the time in this way, so Li Fan continued to stand aside and enjoy it quietly, but it turned out that this was not a cigarette, but a box of cigarettes!

rehearsed repeatedly on stage, repeatedly correcting one action after another, Sun Feifei took her requirements very seriously.

Sure enough, those who stand at the top of all walks of life are either geniuses, hard-working, or crazy.

After the time of "a box of cigarettes", the whole rehearsal finally ended, and Sun Feifei noticed Li Fan under the stage, she walked a few steps quickly, got off the stage and said: "Hey, Li Fan, more handsome." ”

Li Fan raised his eyebrows, "It's sexier." ”

Sun Feifei smiled lightly, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet in the afternoon, why did you change the time?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I had a temporary idea and wanted to go to the tailor's shop with Gu Yating to order two sets of cheongsams, but I never thought that the master was going to retire, and I wouldn't do it anymore if I didn't have an appointment. ”

"Master Zhang Chong, Master Zhang?"

"Well, that's the old man. ”

Sun Feifei said again: "I'm also in line, I'll talk to the old man in a while, and transfer my order to you." ”

Li Fan shook his head again and again, "This can't be done, a gentleman doesn't win people's love!"

"But that woman prefers adult beauty? Wait a minute!"

After Sun Feifei finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and hung up the phone, it is estimated that the other end of the phone was not very reluctant at first, Sun Feifei said it badly, and it was another sycophant, and it was done.

After Sun Feifei put down the phone, she smiled and said, "This old man is too stubborn." By the way, Li Fan, can Gu Yating hide it?"

Li Fan wanted to say yes, but when he thought of the scene when he solved the case a while ago, he was at a loss again, "I will find a way to play a full set of tricks, there should be no problem, for this matter, I even hid it from the program team." ”

The two of them came backstage and worked out a specific plan.

Sun Feifei listened to Li Fan's various plans with her feet crossed, and couldn't help laughing, now this young man has a lot of ghost ideas.

……

The next morning.

After Gu Yating got up, she stretched out beautifully, and suddenly remembered Li Fan, this kid, he didn't return to the hotel until he went to bed last night, why did he go?

Wash and dress.

Gu Yating walked out of the room, knocked on the door of Li Fan's room, but there was no response, and knocked again, but there was still no response.

Didn't return overnight?

"Gu Yating, go, go downstairs. ”

Gu Yating turned around and saw Li Fan standing by the elevator yawning at this time.

"You didn't come back all night?"

"Well, I talked to the director too late, so I stayed at the director's house. ”

"Oh, why are we going?"

Li Fan was stunned: "Why didn't you ask if the director was a man or a woman?"

"Is it useful to ask? You men are the best at lying!"

Li Fan laughed: "Generous, I like a generous woman like you." ”

"you, if I knew you were sorry for me, I'd tear you to noodles!

"Make cheongsam! I've done it, and the director's lover's appointment is in our hands. ”

When the two of them came to the tailor's shop again, it was still the little girl who received them.

The girl excitedly led the two of them to a door, and said to the elderly man holding scissors: "Grandpa, Li Fan, they are here!"

"Hello Master Zhang!"

"Hello old man!"

The old man stared at the two of them fixedly for a moment through his reading glasses, and sighed: "This girl is more beautiful than Lin Huiyin!"

Gu Yating smiled lightly: "You are always lifted!"

The old man looked at Li Fan for a long time, and said slowly: "You kid looks a little like Wang Jingwei!"

Gu Yating clapped her hands with a smile, "Look, what did I say before?

Li Fan suddenly felt that the word "traitor" floated above his head.

The old gentleman squinted his eyes and smiled: "However, you have less femininity and more heroism." Don't be surprised, young man, does this girl make a cheongsam?"

Li Fan said: "Yes, Master Zhang." ”

"What occasion to wear?"

"Daily!"

"What about the price?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

……

After a series of questions, the old gentleman said, "Leave a contact information, and I will notify you when it is done." ”

When Gu Yating was stunned, Li Fan pulled her and said, "Okay, old man, let's go first!"

When the two of them walked out of the tailor's shop, Gu Yating asked suspiciously: "I haven't picked the fabric or the pattern, why did I give an eviction order?"

Li Fan explained: "This old gentleman has a characteristic, that is, after knowing your general needs, he will handle the details alone, and the customer has no right to speak." ”

Gu Yating was surprised: "Then how can he continue to do this business?"

"I've heard people say, he was not so stubborn and rigid before, after the death of his wife more than 20 years ago, people have completely changed, and the tailor shop makes clothes completely according to his intentions, if the customer is not satisfied, people will not accept you, but after the cheongsam is done, there are few dissatisfied customers, and they all pick a thumbs up. ”

"Wow, such a cow?"

"Or maybe it's a master, you wait here, I'll go in and tell the old gentleman about the director's wife." ”

Li Fan stepped into the tailor shop again and said cautiously, "Old man." ”

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"I want to change it, the purpose of this cheongsam has been slightly modified. ”

The old man put down the scissors, "Oh, tell me about it." ”

"When I got married, I imagined that I might wear a string of pearls around my neck, and that's it. ”

"Marriage ......," the old man fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said, "Then I'll make you a dress." ”

Li Fan was overjoyed, "Really, great, thank you." ”

When the old man was measuring Li Fan's body, Li Fan suddenly said, "Old man, I have a reluctant request." ”

"Huh, tell me about it!"

"I'm not going to do this, can you make another one for that girl?"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that her body will change a little in a few years and she won't be able to wear it. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, then picked up the ruler again, "Don't move." ”

Just when Li Fan's heart was cold, the old man said: "I wish you happiness, child, I have more than enough heart and strength now, try my best to do it for you." ”

Li Fan was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you so much!"
