Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city. Ω This is a modern and popular saying.

In Shanghai, an international metropolis full of flowers and traffic, with a group of young people in their twenties getting up early in the morning and feeling in the dark in the anthill, with a meager salary, but worried about the world, isn't Master Jiang hidden in the city?

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. "Tao Yuanming, who doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, compared with Master Jiang, who is Da Yin? Who is Xiao Yin?

Gao Shenghan couldn't judge. He clearly knew that Tao Yuanming was a hermit who had been famous for the ages, and the master was currently just an unknown grassroots, and it was okay to call him a hermit before he became famous.

Actually, hidden, in ancient China, refers to such people-

They do not go with the people in power, do not fish and flesh the people for their own selfish interests, and do not welcome the officials and nobles with broken festivals, so they go into hiding, "the red face abandons the crown, and the white lies in the pine clouds".

The circumstances of retreat vary.

Some of them are not discouraged when seeking official positions; some of them are not discouraged when seeking official positions; some of them are unable to fulfill their wishes; some high-ranking officials and Houlu have seen through the red dust in the midst of deceit; some are loyal to the old and young remnants of the former dynasty; and some are wise men who have made high achievements and bravely retreated like treading on thin ice and rapids------

Some of these hermits wanted to gain "a good name" in the hope of making a comeback.

Some are completely to avoid the rolling red dust of officialdom, and to wander in the landscape and countryside of male farmers and women, and live a plain life where cooking smoke curls and chickens and dogs smell each other;

Or in the poverty of the short linen vegetarian in the parents, guarding the "sunset slope at the mouth of Wuyi Lane", guarding a calm "return, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine", and having a self-esteem of "out of the mud without staining".

"Zhuangzi Zeyang": "The Chu of Confucius is given up in the pulp of the anthill, and there are husbands and wives and concubines who ascend to the pole in his neighborhood, and Zilu says: 'What is the evil of the people?' Zhong Ni said: 'Is it a saint servant, is he buried in the people, hides himself in the bank, his reputation is lost, his ambition is endless, although his mouth speaks, his heart does not taste words, and he is contrary to the world and his heart disdains it.

When he arrived in the Western Han Dynasty, Dongfang Shuoyun: "6 Shen is in the world, and you can escape the world in the Golden Horse Gate.

It is said that a truly enlightened hermit does not have to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests like Boyi. Didn't Lao Tzu Li Er live in seclusion in the imperial court?

Therefore, Deng Cang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said: "The husband is hidden as the way, the dynasty can also be hidden, and the city can also be hidden.

Kangju, the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said at the beginning of "Anti-Zhaoyin Poems": "The small Yin Yin Ling Xu, the big Yin Yin Dynasty City, the Bo Yi Channeling Yang, the old Dan Zhu History." He regarded both the hidden in the "court" and the "city" as great hidden.

In the poem "Zhongyin" in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi said at the beginning: "The big hermit lives in the court, and the small hermit enters Qiu Fan. Qiu Fan is too cold, and the court market is too noisy.

In addition to the fact that a generation of poets Bai Ju is easy to hide, he also put forward the "middle hidden" of middle and lower-level officials.

So much so that later, there was a saying that "the big is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild".

The author believes that whether it is a big hidden, a medium hidden, or a small hidden, the most undesirable thing is the big hidden.

"Analects": What is said but not said is hidden. It can be seen that Confucius regarded knowledge without saying anything as hidden, and regarded the hermit's concealment as "self-buried in the people". Explain that there is a hidden difference between words and deeds.

Stealing that the so-called hidden in the court, isn't it just that Mingzhe does not dare to speak out and admonish?

The Kangxi Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty said: The words of the ministers should be straightforward and unhidden. -- Hidden in the court, hidden in what is hidden! It is pure nonsense with strong words!

At that time, Gao Shenghan, after watching "What a Little Villain" and "Shanghai Men and Others", it can be said that he thought of "hidden" and "hermit", and he felt more fortunate.

"In the sea of people, I found you, and everything has changed with affection. ”

This is the classic love song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", in fact, when a person meets a "you" worthy of his own admiration in the vast sea of people, he will also "find beauty in my heart from now on"!

Beauty is not only the scenery along the way, not only the fair lady, beauty is the meaning of life!

The young man Gao Shenghan was very excited, what he really thought was that I was able to become Master Jiang's apprentice, which was a blessing for three lives!

Gao Shenghan, who was very excited, the two logs of the current master, the time of the table was at two or three o'clock in the morning, he was preparing to read a few more articles of the master, and the master rarely pushed the door in.

"Xiao Gao, are you free?"

"Available, free. Gao Shenghan turned over and got out of bed, looked at the master, and waited for the master to speak.

The master is not tall, more than six meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, and strong spirits.

The master really can't say that he is old, but his white head is getting more and more, and the part that was dyed black before is now up, and he looks like an old man at a rough glance.

"My second brother came to see me immediately, and I will introduce you to him, he is better than me, and now he is a director in Hangzhou. ”

"How about I'm going to buy some fruit?"

"No, he will bring it, he will come to see me once or twice a year, and he won't let me spend money, you can help boil a bottle of boiling water and add tea." ”

"Good. Gao Shenghan followed the master to his room 115. Being able to serve the master, Gao Shenghan is happy.

Gao Shenghan brought two stools over, and then, with the master, cleaned up the room and moved a small dining table to the center of the room.

The small dining table was moved, and Gao Shenghan now had four red bricks under the table, as well as a wooden stick that was a little shorter than a rolling pin, and a rope of more than one meter was tied in the middle of the wooden stick.

Gao Shenghan looked at the ground in surprise, and Master Jiang Jinping smiled, "This is what I usually use for exercise, and I save money to buy dumbbells." ”

"Master, let me look at your deltoid muscles, do you exercise in your room every day?" The master's abdomen has a large beer belly, but his deltoid muscles are large and elastic.

"A man can't do without strength, red bricks are a good thing, don't cost it, you can exercise strength from your fingers to your entire upper body. Master Jiang picked up two red bricks with one hand and started to demonstrate.

"Master, is it taught by the people of the army to exercise wrist strength with a rope?" Gao Shenghan was more interested in this.

"Yes, I have an old colleague who is a retired member of Unit 8341, and you also know this exercise method?"

"My dad is an old scout. Gao Shenghan was very proud. "Master, do you know martial arts?"

"A little bit. Master Jiang smiled modestly.

"Wow, master, then you are a hermit who can write and martial arts!" Gao Shenghan exclaimed.

"Your master is not a hermit, but a drinker, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. If he was born hundreds of years earlier, he must be a patriot who can be as famous as Yue Fei and Xin Qiji, both civil and military. ”

A middle-aged man taller than the master stood at the door of the room and said.

"Come in, Xu Zhen, come in, come in. Jiang Jinping hurriedly greeted his younger brothers and sisters. "This is my apprentice Xiao Gao, Gao Shenghan. Small high bubble tea. ”

"Uncle and aunt, please take a seat, please take a seat!" Gao Shenghan looked at his uncle while making tea.

The uncle named Jiang Jinqi is the same as the master, he is a small flat head, a Chinese face, and a thin face, the difference is skin color and teeth.

The master's complexion is dark, the wrinkles on his face are engraved with the word vicissitudes, and his teeth are yellow, typical of the representative of the proletariat;

His younger brother had fair skin, shallow crow's feet, white teeth that were almost flawless, and a pair of wide-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was dressed neatly, and he looked like a learned intellectual.

"Jinqi, why did you bring grass coral toothpaste? You brought three last time, and I just ran out of one. ”

"Boss, if I'm not mistaken, you told me before Women's Day that for toothache, it's good to use grass coral toothpaste, but Shanghai can't buy it, and then I asked someone to go to Nanchang to buy it, how can you use a toothpaste for half a year?"

Xu Zhen said in disbelief. However, in the place where the basin towel was placed, everyone did see two unopened grass coral toothpaste, and a toothpaste bottle that had been squeezed flat.

"Boss, wait for us to drink and eat the watermelon, and you sit down, I don't understand, how much money do you have a month?

There are a lot of things, there are two large watermelons, there are ten cigarettes from the front door, there is a Jinhua ham, and a large bucket of Arowana oil. Three sticks of grass coral toothpaste are placed on top of the cigarette, and it is clear at a glance.

"I'll show you the pay slip. Master Jiang Jinping went to the drawer of the desk and took out the salary slip to show the second child.

Jiang Jinqi took the salary slip and glanced at the actual salary, and handed it back, "Why are you only a little more than 2,000, how much money can you earn to go home that year? At most, it's only 10,000 yuan, right?"

Master Jiang Jinping smiled bitterly, "I want to take 1,000 yuan a month back, if I don't save it, where can I get it? I saved the rapeseed oil you brought, and I have only eaten a little more than half of it now, but the toothpaste is not saving, it is not wasted, you are too wasteful." ”

Gao Shenghan was faster than the master, and he took the pay slip. The company has a rule that employees are not allowed to disclose their salary income to each other, so Gao Shenghan does not know how much money the master receives a month.

Gao Shenghan was secretly surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the master was only a little more than two hundred more than him, and less than three hundred.

The salary slip shows that their basic salary is the same, all of them are 1,1001, and the same plus meals, post wages, male employee subsidies, and the pharmacist subsidy of 200 yuan more than the master, he is a total of 2,120, and Gao Shenghan is 1,860.

In addition, the master has a performance commission of 150, and at the same time there are fines and utility bills. However, the master only had two hundred yuan more than himself, which made Gao Shenghan feel incredible.

Gao Shenghan knew from Tang Wucub that compared with the other three people in the same bedroom, he had a male employee subsidy of 200 yuan, they did not have a probation period, and they had it, and it was estimated that Sister Li Meilian took care of it. However, they have a performance commission for selling Western medicine, and their performance commission has basically more than doubled that of the master.

In this way, according to Gao Shenghan's reasoning, in the whole store, except for the two cashiers and himself, his salary is the lowest. In any case, these young people are far from being comparable to their masters!

Whether the master is a hermit or a hermit, life can't be so unfair to him, right?

Gao Shenghan now understands why the master and Sister Gui do not approve of him learning Chinese medicine, and why no one is willing to learn Chinese medicine now!

An old Chinese medicine pharmacist with 30 years of experience, his income is only so little, really, you let the young people behind know (may the young people not know?), who wants to learn Chinese medicine?
