Chapter 905: The Hidden (Medium)
The strict regulations and wide scope of the dress system of this dynasty can be said to be unprecedented. The energetic Emperor Taizu took the trouble to stipulate what people of each rank should wear, and imposed severe punishments on those who were not allowed to obey. It is not that he has nothing to do, but because of these cumbersome and harsh regulations, he has built a hierarchical political system at the beginning of the country, and a social order that distinguishes between the inferior and the inferior.
This was of great help in maintaining the ruling order and maintaining social stability, until he was a silent teenager, and he saw with his own eyes that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were still based on their livelihoods, fearing officials, and guarding simplicity. Fù women live deep in the lù face fù women, and the silkworm women are red, and there are very few things about Zhucui Qiluo, and there is no such thing as decorating the emperor's clothes, and there will not be so many women who throw their heads in broad daylight.
"Aren't you afraid of pickets from the government when you dress up like this?" Silence broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"This official looks so decent, how can he be stupid, isn't the wife of the official family arrogant?" The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "What age is this, can only the state officials be allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?" β
"That's it, last month, I met the prefect's wife to go to Guangfu Temple to make incense." A female guest who was looking at the cloth interjected: "The embroidery on her body is embroidered with phoenix patterns; The gemstone jewelry worn on the head can only be worn by the mother in the palace, and even the first life fù cannot be used. But she not only wore it to the prefect, but also wore it generously for the people of Shanghai. What kind of face do you say the prefect has, and what do we wear? β
"Yes, you are really an old official, you go outside and take a look, the men and women on the street, which one is not competing for beauty, how to wear how you want, how to look good and how to wear, who cares about your rules and sleeves 800 years ago?" The fù girls laughed.
"Really...... Arbitrary, the world is going down, the world is going down. Shen Mo shook his head repeatedly, causing the female guests to laugh again.

Although the mouth was full of 'the world is declining', the silence did not stop the third lady from buying the 'transgression' fabric home. The third lady paid the money, left the address, and let the store send him home directly, and then pulled him out excitedly, ready to go to the next one.
Out of the cloth village, he stood silently on the steps of the door, looking at the street where people came and went. He has developed the habit of walking on the road without squinting, so he didn't look carefully on the road, and now he looks carefully at people's clothes, it is really a twenty-one history, I don't know where to start......
I saw that the men on the street were all wearing high hats and big sleeves, and they were all over Luo Qi, while the Fù women were wearing long and short clothes with high buns, and the costumes were colorful...... Where else are there any hierarchy of etiquette?
"When I was young, Jiangnan still had a pragmatic style, and the scholars and doctors wore more clothes and cloth crowns. That is, those who are famous for literature are also in white robes and green shoes in the city. The house of the hooligan is made of sheep intestine kudzu and Taicang Ben Sè cloth, which is modest and of high quality, so everyone uses it, and its customs are thrifty. Looking at the great changes in front of him, he sighed with a complicated face: "But look at this store, the grade is not too high, and the entry and exit are not expensive, but the store says that Luo Qi is not precious, and all the goods sold are Wu silk, Song Jin, Yun Xuan, camel brown, and all kinds of Western and Oriental fabrics." But I couldn't find the most sheep intestines and this Sè cloth that year, and I asked the store to know that it was not in the market for a long time. β
"I saw that the poor people who were selling were also wearing square turbans and walking on clouds, and the people on the road were touching each other. And no one thinks it is different. Reading the newspaper in Annan, it was said that the people of Wuzhong 'do not wear silk, clothing, gold thread, scarves, clouds, and shoes.' I just thought it was a fabricated boast. Now I look at it, sure enough, the scarves are on the road, and the slaughtering slaves also have cloud shoes and white-collar ties, and even Bai Ze, unicorns, flying fish, and pythons are not there. The people knew that they had violated the ban, but they did it in groups. On the one hand, he saw the changes in society, and people's pursuit of gorgeous clothing, although they exceeded the prohibition and did not know ......the taboo, should be what he wanted to see. But on the other hand, after all, he has been studying for 30 years, and it would be a lie to say that he does not have the superiority of some scholars. Now I see that the people do not use the division system, but the financial system, 'the people serve the clothes of the scholars, and the scholars serve the clothes of the doctors', as long as you have money, no matter how you wear it, no one cares. That sense of superiority was suddenly greatly impacted, and naturally I was very sad.
Seeing his indignant face, the third lady took his hand and whispered comfortingly: "Isn't this exactly what you have always expected." β
"That's true, but it's not a good feeling to see this ceremony collapse." Silent smiled awkwardly, shook her soft and said, "Don't worry, it's good to get used to it......" Only then did he realize that he was in front of the public, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, coughed dryly: "Blue sky and white sun, Sven Sven." β
The third lady pointed softly.
Shen Mo saw a pair of young men and women, walking by hand in hand, talking and laughing, their demeanor and demeanor were very intimate, and others were also accustomed to it and did not care.
Silent but indignant: "What kind of system will this future life become!" When I was young, I didn't even dare to talk to FÙ people! "Maybe it's because he got too many stabs today, and he wants to come forward and scold him......
The third lady Lilac vomited slightly, and said playfully: "The master didn't dare back then, and then it was not less fragrant!" The pot calling the kettle black! Before Shen Mo stepped forward, the third lady took his sleeve and said with a smile: "You can spare them fifty steps." Then he gave up in a huff.
Seeing that Shen Mo was really depressed, the third lady no longer dragged him around, and rushed to buy the daily necessities needed at home, and paid the bill first, and then let people send them home.
Soon after returning home, the things were delivered one after another, and the third lady commanded Tie Shan and Ma Yuan to put the things in place, and Shen Mo also wanted to help, but she was pushed outside to drink tea...... The painful experience of the past told her that asking this master to help has always been more and more helpful.
Although he was ignored, he was embarrassed to be idle, helping to fetch water and boiling water outside, and he also took the time to go out and order a takeout, and he was also too busy to stop.
When it was time to turn on the lights, the main hall and the bedrooms on the second floor were basically cleaned up. Putting wine and food in the brightly lit hall, looking at the warm new home, he was silent and happy, let the third lady sit beside him, and called Tieshan and Ma Yuan, who had been busy all day, to sit down and eat a meal comfortably.
After eating, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Tie Zhan and Ma Yuan went back to the wing room to rest.
Sitting silently and comfortably on the Taishi chair, he took the tea made by the third lady, and said with a smile: "This little day can be regarded as a good time." β
Without outsiders, the third lady took off her men's clothes, scattered the green silk, and restored her graceful original appearance, she glanced at him and said, "Aren't you depressed?" β
"Don't be depressed." He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Didn't we come out this time just to feel the changes in the world?" If everything is the same as it was thirty or forty years ago, it would be a real disappointment. β
"Seriously," the third lady didn't go to her seat, but stood behind him, gently squeezed his shoulders and said, "Master, do you really plan to live here permanently?" β
"The houses are all rented." Shen Mo glanced at her and said, "How can you not live permanently?" β
"Madame and I thought that you came out this time to distract yourself, and you would go back in a few days." The third lady said.
"People can't just keep their heads down, they have to find a quiet place, let themselves calm down, and organize their thoughts." Shen Mo smiled and said: "The ancients are 'hidden in the city', for people like me, this is the best place, not only in the crowd, but also without political turmoil, no one to disturb." What's more, there are no whitewashed newspapers to confuse the public, and what I see and hear is the most real. Only in this way can I write what I want to write without detaching myself from reality. β
"But you once said that you can only see far if you stand tall." The third lady said: "Aren't you afraid of being confined to a corner?" β
"That's why I'm coming to Shanghai." Silent and said in a deep voice: "Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, this is already the heart of the Ming Dynasty!" β
"Oh well. We live a life of a small citizen for a year and a half. The third lady couldn't help laughing as she spoke. Being able to stay alone with Shen Mo for some years is actually her long-standing wish.
"Let's talk about getting by." Shen silently put down the teacup and said, "I feel that something is missing." β
"What's missing?" The third lady looked around the room and felt that nothing was missing.
"You young grandmother, how can you not have a maid?" Standing up silently, he gently hugged her slender waist and said, "I don't think you should be able to brush the dishes and wash the dishes today." β
"There's no need to look for a maid anymore," the third lady said with a smile like a flower: "I'm willing to do it." In fact, Shen Mo originally planned to come out with only Tie Shan and Ma Yuan, but it was Mrs. Yin who felt that he couldn't take care of him without someone, so she let her come out. Shen Mo was deeply suspicious of who took care of whom, so she was angry and didn't bring her personal maid out, and she took care of Shen Mo's daily life along the way.
"Let's hire two smart and capable ones." Shen Mo smiled and said: "When I went to the restaurant to ask for delivery, I saw that there was a teahouse to be transferred, and I wanted to ......."
"My lord, you don't still want to open a teahouse, do you?" The third lady said in surprise.
"Why not?" Shen Mo smiled: "I also read the couplet in the teahouse, so I came up with this idea." β
"What couplet?"
"The upper link is 'come and go without invitation, unrestrained and convenient', and the lower link is 'smoke and drink tea and drink freely'." Shen Mo smiled: "If you want to understand the people's feelings, is there a more suitable place than this?" β
"That'...... All right. "The third lady has a big head, and her heart says that it should be a toy of this master.
"Let's go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Shen Mo yawned and hugged her upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seven o'clock in the morning...... With the popularity of Western clocks, the folk name of time has also quietly changed, and one hour has been replaced by two hours. Seven o'clock in the morning has become a fashionable saying for the first quarter of the hour.
Shen Mo had breakfast downstairs and told Ma Yuan to go to Front Street and finish the matter of the teahouse. Ma Yuan was surprised when he heard this: "Such a big thing, let me do it alone." β
"I don't even dare to take this responsibility." Shen Mo despised him and said, "How can I entrust you with important tasks in the future?" β
'Can it be the same thing...... Ma Yuan muttered depressedly, but he didn't dare to say a word, and obediently went out to the store.
After cleaning up the dining table, the third lady continued to decorate the room, yesterday was just a rough job, and it will take a day to refine.
Shen Mo picked up a few newspapers that Tie Shan had bought and went upstairs, he didn't enter the room, but climbed to the platform on the top floor...... In order to avoid being recognized, Shen Mo not only simply changed his appearance, but also used the strong sunlight to tan his fair skin into a bronze sè. Except for acquaintances like Xu Wei and Chu Dashou, those who generally only have one or several faces, it is difficult to recognize him as the long-missing Shen Ge Lao.
In order to maintain skin sè, silence requires enough sun exposure, and today the sun is shining, not at all like a winter day. Tie Shan had already transported the chaise longue tea set to the platform, and was making tea for him with his hands and feet.
Standing silently on the platform and looking around, he realized that this was the commanding height of a nearby area. Overlooking the surroundings, the ridges of the black Sè roof are undulating, all connected together, boundless, and a little indistinguishable from the south, south, and north. But you might as well get a glimpse of the clothes on the bamboo poles in the neighbor's yard, the impatiens, gem flowers and green garlic planted in the flower pots, and the empty pigeon cages on the roof, the flock of pigeons hovering in the blue sky, and the melodious pigeon whistle, it is really a very relaxing morning.
After seeing enough, he sat down on the chaise longue in a comfortable mood, sipped a cup of tea, and flipped through today's newspaper. Shanghai has a dense population and a developed economy, and the newspaper industry is naturally developed, and there are seven or eight types of newspapers that are relatively mainstream. Among them, the Shanghai Daily, which has the largest circulation, is printed in the middle of the night every day and sent to various newsstands in the streets and alleys before dawn, so that citizens can buy the latest newspapers with the scent of ink. Not to be outdone, the rest of the newspapers did their best to deliver the latest newspapers to the public.
Silence's dwelling is next to Miaoqian Street, where you can buy all the newspapers. Knowing that he had a habit of reading newspapers, he didn't need to be silently instructed, when Tie Shan went out to buy breakfast, he collected all the newspapers he could buy.
So many newspapers were silent and didn't know which one to look at first, but finally picked up the largest "Shanghai Daily", the newspaper has 16 pages, of which all kinds of advertisements account for half, which makes the silence of the previous life, who has suffered from finding news from the cracks in the advertisement, shake his head. He remembers that when he read the newspaper in Nanjing, although there were also advertisements, they were all subtle and hidden in the corners. How can it occupy the entire page like now, it is really ...... The world is going down.
