Chapter 122: Zhang Yuan
nbsp; Chapter 122: Zhang Yuan
"Gao, let's go back to the ship!" Brooke watched Gao Hongsheng stand on the carriage for a long time without saying a word.
"Back to the ship?" Gao Hongsheng looked at Brooke in a little surprise, and asked a little unintelligible.
You must know that they only got off the boat at noon yesterday, and after being bitten in a hotel in the French Concession, they even thought about returning to the ship.
But the Crescent Moon is a cargo ship, except for Gao Hongsheng and their ladies' rooms, which is not bad, the place where the others stay can be described as canned sardines, which is simply crowded.
The crew's rest cabins, in particular, were of no use except for canvas beds next to each other, and they were head-to-head and to-foot.
Although the cabin they lived in was a little better, it was only a slightly larger cabin than the box in the train car, and it was also a four-bed room.
There was only a small porthole in that room to ventilate, and if the ship was better when it was moving, at least the sea breeze would rush into the cabin from there, taking away the stench from the cabin and replacing it with fresh air.
But now the ship is parked in the harbor, and the cabin is stuffy and hot, and full of all kinds of stench, and I don't know where it comes from, so I can't stay in it.
I really don't know what Brooke thinks, how does he want to go back to that place to suffer?
"Boss, we can live in the warehouse. We don't have much cargo, and now we have several empty warehouses in the crescent, and we can make beds in the holds. Owner, we really can't stand the poor hygiene of this place. At least there are far fewer mosquitoes and flies on board. Brooke explained by scratching the red envelope around his neck with his hand.
Gao Hongsheng was also frightened by the mosquitoes here, thought about it and looked at Feng Laosi and said: "Why don't we go back to the boat and live, the warehouse is very spacious, we can sleep in it, and there are a lot fewer mosquitoes there." ”
"The shopkeeper, let's just convert those empty warehouses into rooms, so that we can continue to be crammed into small cabins." Feng Laosi said.
"Yes! Boss. We can change the ship, the goods we ship to Europe are not even a third of the holds, and those holds, which are empty and wasted, it is better for us to live there. Brooke also followed.
"Good way, so that we don't have to worry about accommodation when we get anywhere, damn these broken inns are not as good as our broken houses, so let's do it, let's change the ship, anyway, I'm also the owner of that ship, Aiken can't say anything." Gao Hongsheng said with some excitement.
"Let's go back to the boat and stay and get out of this damn place. I don't want to stay for a minute. John listened to Brooke's translation and immediately continued to speak aloud.
After being eaten by the mosquitoes of Shangxing, a group of people left the hotel with a big red envelope full of big red envelopes, and under the eyes of the owner of the Licha inn and those waiters, they left the hotel with sweaty gray and walked towards the direction of the dock.
Aiken's words poured Gao Hongsheng's enthusiasm for changing ships to a deep heart.
The boat is not something you can change if you say it, there are a lot of problems involved, but it's not your house, you can change it as you want.
If you want to change the ship, you need to go to a professional person to calculate, and then renovate it in the dock, but it is not a simple change of the shipyard into a cabin.
But now that they have returned, why should they stay on the ship for the night tonight, and the group set up tents on the deck of the Crescent like refugees.
But Gao Hongsheng didn't want to go ashore to live in the tent, it was too hot in September, and at least there was a little wind blowing on the boat, which was much cooler than in the hotel on the shore.
There was no air conditioning in the hotel that year, there was no electric fan, if you closed the doors and windows, it would be like being in a steamer, otherwise Gao Hongsheng and they would not have been bitten by mosquitoes overnight, and it was not the result of the heat being unbearable, opening the windows and opening the doors.
In fact, life is like this, when one door is closed, another door is opened. Gao Hongsheng, who was blessed by misfortune, slept beautifully, and didn't get out of bed until the next day when the sun was shining on his buttocks.
In Shangxing in this era, if you don't go to Zhang Yuan, which was famous at that time, you haven't been to Shangxing.
Zhang Yuan can be said to be a contentious garden for the Chinese at that time.
Parks appeared in the early modern period, when they were opened to the public by the private gardens of the royal aristocracy, such as Hyde Park in London.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, modern parks appeared in the United States that were designed to be exclusively accessible to the public, such as Zhōngyāng Park in New York.
After these foreigners came to Shangxing, it was easy to inherit the advanced ideas of urban design at that time, and of course they would build parks for public leisure and sightseeing.
In 1868, the Bund Park, the earliest park in the Shangxing Concession, was built, but there were strict restrictions on the objects of the park, and there were seven in its "Instructions for Travel", the first of which was "Dogs and bicycles should not enter", and the sixth was "Chinese are not allowed to enter without Westerners." ”
Later, Hongkou Park, Fuxing Park, and Zhaofeng Park were slowly built, but Chinese were not allowed to enter, and not only the park, but also other public places for foreigners, such as the horse race hall, the general association of various countries, and Chinese were not allowed to enter casually.
As for the rumor that Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter, that's how it came about.
I don't know whether a sign was erected or not, and whether this sentence was written on it, but the fact is that many foreigners at that time were not allowed to enter in public.
It is an indistinguishable fact that this kind of racial discrimination with a sè vision really existed at that time.
As for the scenes in those movies and TV shows where Chinese people meet in the Bund Park and stroll among the flowers, I really can't imagine how they got into the park.
It was in this case that Zhang Yuan was built by Zhang Shuhe as a public park with "anti-concession discrimination xìng regulations, and built by the Chinese themselves and managed by themselves."
Since you won't let us into the park, I'll build a park that's better and bigger than you. And Zhang Shuhe did exactly that.
Since its opening in 1885, for more than 20 years, Zhang Yuan has been the largest public activity venue in Shangxing.
And because Zhang Yuan was built in the concession, many historical figures later held public rallies in Zhang Yuan to express their remarks against the Manchu court.
Zhang Yuan was not called Zhang Yuan at first, but called Chun Garden, what exactly does this name mean, I still haven't found any information.
It was not until July 1903 that Wei Chun Garden became the management of Uncle Zhang and the Garden Company, and its name became Zhang Yuan. Four years ago, Zhang Shuhe transferred more than 40 acres of perpetual lease rights to the British businessman O. Middleton, but the management rights of Zhang Yuan belonged to Zhang Shuhe.
It can be said that the brewing of revolution, the planning and organization, the discussion of autonomy, the formation of Shangxing consciousness, and even the gradual finalization of Shangxing dialect have a certain relationship with Zhangyuan as a public space.
Such a park that has left a strong mark on Shangxing, how can you ignore it as a traverser and just go over and not take a look!
You must know that at that time, the "Ji Nu", who was known as the Four King Kongs of Shangxing, "Lu Lanfen, Lin Daiyu, Jin Xiaobao, Zhang Shuyu," it was Zhang Yuan during the day and Sima Road at night.
The origin of the name is that these four Ji girls at that time, each time they sat on the edge of the round table at the door, so that everyone could see, and the four people each occupied a table, as if the four King Kong were guarding the mountain gate, and everyone gathered there to watch Ji Nu.
It was really the rise of the time, and the cháo stream of clothing culture was led by these "Ji women", and the fashion trend was characterized by men looking at women and women looking at "Ji women".
Ji Nu played the role of a fashion model at that time, and people at that time were both looking at people and judging clothes.
(Mines are not easy to dodge.,There's no way to change some of the text.,jinv,It's become Ji Nu.,I mentioned these people in the future, let's use this.,Ji Nu.。 Female courtiers also. )
As for whether you want to make friends with the revolutionary party, or the wealthy businessmen in Shangxing, or even make friends with contemporary literati and scholars, Zhang Yuan is the perfect place.
The relaxed management environment of the concession provided a stage for them to perform fully, making them turn from inferior lowly feet to courtesans at that time.
Well! One more point is the most important.
The gentry could not afford to invite them, so they could only look at them with a sour gaze and talk about it, and the rich and wealthy merchants were their main targets, and those literati and inkmen were also their guests.
Hey! People understand the importance of the pen very well, and at the beginning of their debut, they firmly grasped the pen in their hands, and they were many times more advanced than those later "revolutionary parties".
At that time, in the seventh year of Yiyi, there were about 6,000 to 8,000 people engaged in this industry in Shangxing, but by 1915, the number of employees was about 10,000 to 15,000, and it was known as the "** Concession".
There's so much crap here, so be it. It's really like that at that time.,It's really impossible to go down without writing about the environment at the time.,Some of the actions behind it look inexplicable.。
Here are some excerpts from the literati of the time describing the Concession. There are poems from time to time: "Shenjiang is good, the small county is a famous state, the trading career is the first, **Ze sighs unparalleled, and the heroes look down on the wind." ”
"Shenjiang is good, it is easy to forget to return, everywhere is surrounded by beads and greenery, every family is thin and fat, and the gold is still waving."
In the end, let's end with a love letter written by a girl at that time, it's so far, so let's just leave it at that.
It's a shame to take it with you, what kind of thing is this girl writing! I can't understand it, it's all stumbling when I read it, it's not that my level is too inferior, it's really too cunning.
The number of eyes is rì, and the constant is more than three autumns. Every time I remember Zhiyi, I am very good. Biwei, bowing An Yan, jade body auspicious sheep. Insult the bosom friend, and set the private praise. Although the corpses are separated, the heart should be cleared. I think about it, I only feel that the night is long and the dream is short, and the intestines turn around, frequently adding old marks and new sorrows. 怅一水之潆洄, twilight clouds chūn tree. Fortunately, the same reflection of thousands of pools, autumn water. Thinking back to the west window of the candle, the bottle is more than the North Sea. Open and freshen up, deep and shallow annoying. Stay and prepare for me, and allow me gently. I feel that the love of this moment is extraordinary. What does it mean to have cold and fresh food in the bed, and suddenly worry about salary. So the water was far away and the mountains were far away, and he actually returned to Zili. Say goodbye sadly, and still have blue eyes on Dongjun. There is no money to stay, and the green wave is in Nanpu. Thinking of this, I apologize for being ridiculous. Fortunately, Hongmao met Shun, and returned to the boat to be safe. Yao Minoru Feng couples are happy, and they are forgiven**. encountered dyes in Junzi Wenyuan, knowing that he should not take medicine early. In the thin life ruler, he has not passed, and finally feels that he is not complaining. After a long night, I asked my heart several times. The mist stopped and the clouds were scratched frequently. Autumn Moon chūn Wind Pavilion, the door is set up with a long gate. In the shadow of the cinnamon beads, the edge of the path is not swept. If Huo Ran is fully healed, he must take Cui Fang to travel. If his long-cherished illness has not been cured, he will earnestly write a barbaric note and benefit his bowels. Light cold and thin warm, suitable for the body is better. The words are short and long, and the meals are hard. In short, it is full of sorrow, and it is difficult to declare the direct teaching. Shang Qi insight into the heart, all the battles of the sea and the sea are incompatible.
I was completely stupid, it was so hard. I just graduated from elementary school!
I struggled to find a translator. I can only say a word about cows! The brother who can translate it, you are also a cow! Brothers, bow down.
Translation:
Separated for only a few rì, like years not seen. Whenever I think about you and your handsome appearance, I have a special feeling in my psychology. I hope you are safe, healthy, auspicious, and all right.
Thank you for taking me as a bosom friend and secretly praising me. Although we can't meet, our hearts are connected.
I miss you at night, I always feel that the time I am awake is too long, and the time I dream of you is too short, and I worry about you every day, adding old marks and new sorrows.
Jun lives at the head of the Yangtze River, I live at the end of the Yangtze River, separated by a water, so that we are like the Chaoyun in Jiangdong and the chūn tree in Weibei.
Thousands of miles together, I am willing to guard you forever in the autumn water.
Remember to chat with you and drink rìzi. I still remember to freshen up for you, and ask the time when the thrush is deep and shallow.
You got out of bed and dressed up, and said to me gently: I feel that our feelings are no longer expressible by words.
But now, why do I sleep by myself at night, I start to feel so cold and cold, I eat less and less, and I am constantly worried.
Where do the mountains and rivers know? Remember where I said goodbye to you.
Say goodbye to sadness, and hope that the god of Sichūn will bless me.
There is no reason to keep it, looking forward to the river, I just hope that our feelings can flow for a long time.
At this point, the sadness in my heart has been almost expressed.
I only hope that you can receive my letter smoothly and that you can come back safely.
In a trance, the beautiful scene of us being together appeared in my mind again, playing the piano and releasing meditation.
I knew that you accidentally got sick in Junzi Wenyuan, and you had to start taking medicine to recuperate. It's really a bad fate, I can't take good care of you by your side, how can the words in the letter express my heart!!
The long night was long, and I couldn't calm down. The haze stopped, and I was so irritable. It's already beautiful and bright outside, but I can't leave. The rain is fragrant, the flowers are falling all over the ground, and I have no intention of cleaning.
If you suddenly get well, you can go out to the lake to relax. If you have been sick and can't get better, I hope you will write to me more.
Add or subtract clothes because of the change in the weather. Speak short and long, take care of your body, and eat more.
In short, how can words express the sorrow? I hope you understand my heart, which is fully contained in this letter.
Well! Do you understand? I simply don't understand, I don't know a lot of words.
I finally knew what the level of literati was like at that time. A famous lady can write such a profound thing. I don't know how those time-travelers got mixed up in those days.
Brothers, you have crossed over, let's take a look at the above thing first. If you can't write the same, don't be ashamed to mess around.
You don't even have the level of a concubine, how can you mix in that world! That's not just a mouth and a pocket, I guess you don't even dare to write a letter, that job is really not possible, let alone thinking about talented and beautiful women. Those people are literary demons.
When Maad writes me such a love letter, I will hide my face and cry and break down.
