Hidden-

Shanghai is located in the south of the Yangtze River, but the appearance of the city is very different from that of neighboring Suzhou and other places. It does not have the river mesh cloth that is common in water cities, and the alleys are tortuous. This is because the city was built with the intention that it would make the city level and easy to plan. Second, because it was easy to get sick by drinking water in the city, the government made great efforts to fill up the large and small rivers in the city. Hundreds of roads, streets, and squares have been planned on thousands of hectares of land, forming the framework of the city.

Over the past few decades, with the take-off of Shanghai, the population has also surged from the initial tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and exceeded one million a few years ago. With the continuous increase of dwellings, countless alleys and alleys have appeared, turning the original neat frame of warp and weft into a dense and complex spider web. The main road is connected to the side streets, the main streets cross the small roads, and there are squares on the streets, alleys and alleys, alleys, lanes, lanes, streets, and streets...... Walking in the small alley, walking to the end of the alley, it seems that there is no road, but to the end; Turn left or right, and there is another avenue not far away. When outsiders first arrive, they are going to be made into a mess.

Qin Lei's new residence is in Huaishu Alley near Guangfu Temple in the south of the city. That Lu Zhi originally fancied the apartment in the area of Lu Xiangyuan, where there are many government offices, Taoist temples, Si family gardens, large and small shops, hotels and teahouses, the environment and health are the best, life is convenient and comfortable, of course, the premise is that you can afford it. However, in Lu Zhi's opinion, those who can afford to live in the luxury cabin of the Ning Bo must not be short of this money.

But Qin Lei's bodyguards understood his master's intentions and insisted on choosing this quiet residence in the middle of the city. Early the next morning, the two took Qin's father and son to Huaishu Lane to see the house. The landlord also arrived for a while, and when he saw that the renter was a decent uncle, he naturally felt satisfied, and opened the courtyard door to invite Qin Lei and his son in.

The two of them went in to take a look, and this small courtyard was very agreeable. As soon as you enter the door, there is a long patio, on both sides are the left and right wings, and directly opposite is the guest hall with long windows on the floor, where you can meet guests and entertain. The two sides of the guest hall are secondary rooms, and there is a wooden escalator leading to the second floor at the back, and then there is the back patio, which is only half as deep as the front patio, and there is a water well. Behind the rear patio is a single-storey sloping annex that serves as a kitchen, utility room and storeroom. There are entrances and exits in the front and back of the whole house, and the front is composed of a patio wall and a wing gable, with stone as the door frame and black lacquered thick wood door leaf; The rear wall is about the same height as the front wall, forming a nearly enclosed space. Therefore, although it is in the middle of the city, it still has the advantage of high walls and deep courtyards. The most rare thing is that there is a locust tree in the front yard, which is very lush, half of the courtyard in the summer shade, a small table and a few bamboo chairs, and it is convenient to eat and enjoy the coolness; And the backyard is close to the well in the kitchen, and there is clear water less than a zhang deep, so you can fetch water without going out.

The furnishings inside and outside the house are ninety percent new, and according to the landlord, this yard is the property purchased by his younger brother. Not long after his brother's family moved to Luzon, and asked him to rent out the house before leaving. First, the rent in Shanghai is noble, and it is really a waste to be idle, and second, the house must have a popularity, otherwise it will soon decline.

The only difference is that the father and son of the Qin family only want to sign for half a year, but the landlord hopes that the longer the better, after some arguments, they finally signed for a year and paid half a year's rent first. After getting the contract and the silver ticket of the Huilian number, the landlord left happily.

Lu Zhi dried the ink on the contract and handed it over to Nachu for safekeeping, and it was time to leave. Although the fire at home has not yet started, there is a restaurant on the front street, Shen Mo asked people to order takeout, invited him to a table, and rewarded him with a silver ticket of 100 taels, thanking him for his busy work in the past two days.

Lu Zhi was flattered, the banquet was happy, but the silver ticket insisted that he didn't want it, he said that Qin Ye was difficult to open when he first came, and the prices in Shanghai were expensive, so the money could last for a while, so it was better to keep it for a long time.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Just take it, I can't be poor for three years and five years." ”

"Then thank you Qin Ye." Lu Zhi no longer shirked, happily put it away, and said closer and closer between his words: "If Master Qin has something to do in the future, he will naturally have my master to take care of him, but it's not a big matter and it's not good to trouble him, right?" You just have to let Brother Tieshan go to me, it's not a matter of human life, I can usually do it. As he spoke, he took out a pencil and wrote his address on a piece of paper.

Qin Lei naturally thanked him happily. After eating wine for an hour, Lu Zhi got up to say goodbye, and Qin Lei personally sent it to the street before turning back.

Back at home, Nachu was already directing two bodyguards, Tie Shan and Ma Yuan, to fetch water to clean the house. Two strong young men were accused of making a mess, one brought out all the tables, chairs and benches in the house, and the other came to the well to put down the bucket on the wheel to draw water.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lei smiled, rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you want me to do, the lady just commands." "There are no outsiders, and there is no need to hide it, the so-called Nachu, whose full name is Unachu, is the name of the third lady.

"Am I not your son, how did I become a lady?" Unachu glanced at him flatteringly and said, "I don't have anything to do with you at home, come with me to the street to buy something." ”

"Ah, the days are still long, don't be in a hurry to go shopping." Qin Lei...... Let's call it his destiny, said silently with a bitter face.

"Can you use the bedding, cups, plates, and chopsticks left by others? The kitchen is empty, there is no firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, you are ready to order takeout every day! Nachu said: "Who told you to live an ordinary life, there are not so many people who let you call, so you can only do it yourself." ”

"All listen to you, all listen to you." Shen Mo raised his hand in surrender and said, "I find that you are becoming more and more ladylike." Taking a step back and valuing the sky, this year of retreat, he not only walked out of the shadow of losing his father, but also got rid of the gloomy and stale atmosphere of officialdom, and the whole person was much more relaxed and free.

"That's right, my sister is my role model." Na Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly: "She asked me to take care of the master, and the maid naturally did her best." "Shen Mo can live younger and younger, of course, thanks to the hot three ladies.

"Ahem, Iron Mountain is on the side...... "The old man said silently.

"I didn't hear anything." Tie Shan, whose real name is Tie Zhan, carried two buckets full of water, and flew into the house as if he were flying, but he didn't spill a drop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The husband and wife were still dressed in the old clothes, and they didn't take the car, so they walked out. Although Nachu didn't let people follow, how dare Tie Shan let the two of them go out like this, leaving Ma Yuan to take care of the house, and he hurriedly followed, but he didn't dare to follow too closely.

Walking out of the alley is the noisy Miaoqian Street, a bustling bazaar, with a dazzling array of signs, guises, trademarks, and advertisements, announcing that shops are lined up on both sides of the street, forming a corridor of endless flow of people day and night.

Walking on the bustling streets, looking at the traditional buildings on both sides with daiwa powder walls and red pillars and cornices, as well as lattice windows, row door panels, cornices and corners, lace dripping water and horse head walls, and even the baroque style of Western style, these different styles of buildings blend together without the slightest disharmony. Looking at the signboards of these shops, what Chunfeng Building, Deyi Building, Deshun Restaurant, Wu Family's old crude medicine shop, Ding Niangzi Cloth Village, Tianbao Goldware Shop, Tongshengfa Pawnshop...... Three hundred and sixty lines will be here. Listening to the noisy cries and laughter, the heavy breath of life came to his face, making Shen Mo's pores stretch and squint his eyes comfortably. I can't remember how many years it has been, and I can finally walk in the crowd without any performance components, this down-to-earth, shoulder to shoulder feeling, is really too nourishing.

As soon as she arrived on this bustling street, the third lady became excited, she forgot her original intention, pulled Shen Mo and crashed into the Ding Niangzi cloth village, and then ...... It's embarrassing.

Because although it is not written that 'male guests are not allowed to enter', the store is full of female customers, and they can't help but look at these two men who broke in with strange eyes.

The third lady realized that she was now a man, and she couldn't help crying without tears, but wouldn't it be more embarrassing to quit in disgrace? Fortunately, she has always been anxious and wise, snorted, raised her head and said: "What do you see, it seems that you haven't written a man to stop, right?" As he spoke, he pulled his silent sleeve and said, "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to buy a birthday gift for my mother, why didn't you enter?" ”

Silent and decent for half his life, he has never done such a humiliating thing, in his experience, the female guests must be disgraced, screaming and panicking to avoid, and even the official may ...... However, the old experience met the new situation, and after a short period of surprise, the female guests boldly looked at the two uninvited guests. He even whispered: 'Well, this old man has a good taste, and I haven't seen such an old handsome guy.' "Still a young handsome, with these eyebrows and this face, if you wear red makeup, you are a peerless beauty......" said and laughed.

The spicy gaze made Shen Mo a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, saying in his heart that it was really the world that was declining, why are women so shameless now? But it seems to be quite interesting.,Anyway, I'm not myself now.,Just let the old man talk about juvenile madness.。 followed the three ladies into with a blank face.

Seeing that the female customers had no opinions, the store naturally did not rush people, and the beautiful female guy stepped forward and asked, "...... What do you want? ”

"Take a look." All the minds of the third lady were completely attracted by the colorful yarn, luo, silk, and satin in front of her, and she moaned a piece of fabric as thin as a cicada's wings and said: "It's so light and thin......"

This admiration is completely a female voice, the female guy has already seen that she has ears and eyes, and she has understood it at once, it turns out that this is a Mulan. He seriously introduced: "This is the Hao yarn produced by Jiang's Silk Village in Hangzhou, which is as light as paper and lined with bright clothes, and the effect is very good. ”

"This one is thin, too." The third lady said with another fabric.

"This is a popular Western cloth, which is also characterized by its lightness and light color. At last year's annual Jinling Flower Fair, Qin Huai Ming Shuli Sanniang made a light shirt with this material, which was worn on the body with the red as the inside, and did not reduce Zhang Lihua's Guigong neon dress, standing in the wind, Chu Chu was moving, floating like a fairy, which made people shocked, and this kind of Western cloth was also immediately doubled. However, although it is expensive, it is good to be versatile. A must have one in the closet. The female guy didn't know how many times she had repeated this statement, and she was all ripe.

"Bought it, bought it." The third lady nodded again and again without blinking, and the housekeeper who was scheming with the landlord for a few dollars earlier, it was really like two people.

As soon as he saw him like this, the shopkeeper knew that a fat sheep was coming...... Oh no, the big customer, he took the work to the side, and went into battle himself, recommending the clothes inside to the third lady. Because it has to be matched with bright colors, the fabrics are bright red, crow, and even bright yellow. The third lady is nothing, she has been watching quietly on the side, and finally couldn't help but say: "You shopkeeper, you are so bold." The imperial court strictly stipulated that the wives of scholars were not allowed to use 'red, crow green, and yellow', and violators were punished as trespassers. Look at how many violations you have here. ”

"......" The shopkeeper tilted his head to look at Shen Mo and said with a smile: "Has this master just returned from Beijing or Luzon?" ”

"Luzon, what's wrong?" Silent Mo said without thinking.

"No wonder, you haven't been back for twenty or thirty years." The shopkeeper smiled: "What you said is the old emperor's calendar, the old man is fifty-seven this year, and he has been working in a clothing store for forty years, if you want to say what women should wear and what they should not wear, they must know better than you." As he spoke, he dropped his bookbag and said: "Emperor Taizu stipulates that men's and women's clothes shall not be made of gold embroidered brocade silk silk, silk and silk yarn shall not be used, jewelry and bracelets shall not be made of gold and jade beads, silver shall not be used, and boots shall not be decorated with patterns and money. He also ordered that the women's dresses should be purple and not embroidered in gold, and that their robes should not be purple, green, peach, and all light colors, and that they should not use bright red, and that there was a clause on the law of 'clothing and housekeeping', and that the unscrupulous ones should have 100 rods, and all their utensils and clothing should be confiscated. Am I right, this man? ”

Shen Mo can be regarded as having comprehended the sharp teeth of the Shanghainese, and nodded helplessly: "I can't imagine that you still understand the Fa so well." ”

"It's not that the old man understands the law, but whoever enters the industry has to memorize these articles." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "But if you take a closer look, this store is full of female customers, if it is according to the old imperial calendar, will they all have to be killed?" "He smiled and said, 'You won't be rude, will you.'"

"Not really." smiled silently and embarrassedly, turned his head to look at the few female guests nearby, and sure enough, either the color was violated, or the style was violated, and some people even walked with a pearl that can only be worn by a good woman......

partition

It's definitely not a word count, because it's definitely more difficult to depict a whole new world than to lay out a plot. I want to use as much life as possible, write about the changes in society, and then gradually lead to the ending, so that it can not be a bad ending.

Before, many people felt that there seemed to be a lack of part of the description, yes, that is, the changes in the lives of the citizen class. However, the actual situation at that time was that there was a huge difference between the north and the south, there was almost nothing to write about in Beijing, and the eyes could not leave the protagonist and run to the south, so there was this paragraph.

For a book like this, it is enough to write one book in a lifetime. If you don't have a serious future, please prove that I used to be so serious...... ro！
