The next day, at nine-thirty in the morning, breakfast time.

Fu Shaoze's breakfast today was a traditional British breakfast, with scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms and a piece of toast. He used silver knives and forks and a bone china tray, with hot milk, which looked particularly delicate and elegant.

Unfortunately, what was placed opposite him was a row of blue and white porcelain dishes, which contained fermented bean curd, pickled cucumbers, pickles, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and spiced tea eggs. This was Xiaohuan's newly planned breakfast for her out of "do as the Romans do in the country".

Bai Qianyu was very satisfied with the breakfast. It had the smell of human fireworks. It was a market taste that would never be eaten again in a hundred years. As for the breakfast of the person opposite... With all due respect, it only reminded her of those years in foreign hotels.

There were days when I ate at the buffet until I vomited.

Today's breakfast was as silent as ever.

Fu Shaoze must have known something about Pan Biying's visit yesterday, but he didn't mention it at all. He obviously had the words "stay out of it" on his forehead. If he didn't mention it, Bai Qianyu was naturally happy not to mention it. Of course, he had to

Cooperating to look sad and gloomy, the two of them ate breakfast in silence, one with soy milk and fried dough sticks, and the other with butter on toast.

Bai Qianyu found Fu Shaoze's views on emotions very interesting.

Combining the newspaper news and the gossip of the servants of Fu Mansion, Bai Qianyu can roughly divide the women around Fu Shaoze into two categories: uh, rubbish.

The first category of "confidantes", Pan Biying and Meng Fangqiong all fall into this category. They are probably ambiguous relationships, but this range is very broad. For example, he once attended a banquet with a wealthy lady from a certain family. The two of them had been having a heated relationship during that time.

, it is said that he also gave this lady very expensive jewelry. There were rumors that the two families would get married, but in the end nothing happened.

Another example is a certain popular singer who was once lavished with money by him for a month. The amount was enough to buy a building. Finally, the seemingly arrogant singer finally fell in love and snuggled up to him. At that time

Shanghai was excited the whole night, but for some reason, one day Mr. Fu suddenly stopped going to that dance hall...

From that day on, he never went to see the singer again. No matter how he chased him after that, or even waited outside the mansion all night in the middle of winter, he just ordered his men to go over and persuade him to leave. If he couldn't persuade him,

Just give me a coat and make ginger soup or something to avoid freezing anyone - when he said this, he was wearing a nightgown, drinking red wine, and reading "Times Comics" by the fireplace and was overjoyed...

The reason why they can be classified into one category is that, without exception, these people have never been brought back to the mansion to spend the night by Fu Shaoze. When those servants talked about Pan Biying, they even looked disdainful, saying that she did not know how many times she came here at night to borrow money.

The reason for sending snacks was to stay overnight, but it didn't work out once.

The second category is the "Sister-in-Charge" category, in which there is only one mysterious Miss Yin. It is said that since last year, Mr. Fu has never been in the mansion or at banquets during holidays, but always on Xiafei Road.

In the small building, next to Fu Shaoze, who has a self-concentrating effect, she has not even been in the newspaper once. It is obvious that Fu Shaoze protects her like a flower in the greenhouse and does not let her experience any wind and rain from the outside world.

As for Miss Yu...

Since the Fu family master is inclined to agree to this marriage, there is a high probability that Miss Yu will be married back and used as a decoration on the desk. She can't think of it at ordinary times. At most, she will wipe it during New Years and holidays.

Ash.

She would become a victim of Fu Shaoze's fight against his father's authority. Even if she had done nothing wrong, her final outcome would be to end her life miserably.

There is only one way to prevent this from happening.

After breakfast, Fu Shaoze was about to leave when Bai Qianyu stopped him, "I want to go out for a walk and buy some clothes."

"It's time to go out and see the world." Fu Shaoze agreed without much thought, "The public security is not very good recently, I will help you arrange a car."

Hearing that she was going out today, the little maid also jumped for joy. Finally, at Bai Qianyu's suggestion, she undressed her bun and braided two braids. Although she was still wearing a cloth jacket and trousers, it was still a bit fresh.

Feel it.

Today, the car that picked up Bai Qianyu was still the century car, and the person who picked them up was still the same scar-faced man. After getting in the car, he enthusiastically asked, "Miss, where are you going?", Bai Qianyu said that she was going to buy clothes, and he promised to take them with her.

She went to the best place in Shanghai to buy clothes. Bai Qianyu asked him what he called her, and he replied, "Miss, just call me A Dong."

After chatting for a while, he said that he was Mr. Fu's assistant, named Fu Dong. He was also afraid that Miss Yu wouldn't understand the meaning of the word "assistant", so he thought about it and added: "It means accompanying."

.”

Bai Qianyu understood it at first, but was confused when he explained it. Later she learned that "Ban Dang" here refers to a servant with a big surname. Fu Dong's family was a craftsman of the Fu family in the early years. They have been working for the Fu family for generations, and the Fu family also

They trust them the most, and Fu Dong is the most outstanding disciple among them. He has followed Fu Shaoze all the way since he studied abroad. He is well-informed and knowledgeable. He can be regarded as half a brother, not an ordinary servant driver. Although he is not good-looking, Fu Shaoze

He takes care of all the important things around him.

The car drove steadily out of the mansion, crossed Tibet Road, and drove at full speed on the flat Jing'an Temple Road. The warm wind blew on the car windows, the sound of hunting ground sounded, and the rows of small bungalows on the roadside were hidden in the green shade.

, the sunny weather makes everything look particularly peaceful.

Shanghai is divided into three major districts. From north to south, there are the Public Concession, the French Concession and the Chinese Concession - the county town, as ordinary people call it. The city is a strange mixture of Chinese and Western, with modern high-rise buildings

Buildings, there are also crowded streets and alleys with signs, some are wearing long gowns, some are wearing ties. If you go to Hongkou, the streets are full of people wearing kimonos and clogs strutting through the city. It is also very common.

During the Republic of China, an American magazine editor traveled around the world and came to Shanghai. Someone asked her about her impression of Shanghai, and she said: "It's lively, it's so lively!" She often lived in major cities in the United States, and also visited Europe and South America.

As well as big cities in Asia such as Humai and Hong Kong. She proposed the word lively to describe Shanghai, which must mean that Shanghai is more lively than those cities.

Soon, the car arrived at Nanjing Road, and the streets were crowded with people. It was the three famous commercial streets in the world at this time. On the flat and wide road, high and low signboards were lined up in rows, and double-decker buses and trams were slowly passing by.

They were all running Japanese cars. The good weather made Shanghai people accustomed to rainy days active. The streets were full of people.

The maid held the window open and kept looking out. Her eyes were almost exhausted.

In the "Shanghai Guide" for Westerners, the author wrote in particularly heroic sentences: "Shanghai, with skyscrapers, towering into the sky, is the best in the world after the United States." He did not hesitate to use gorgeous words to describe all this prosperity.

: "Department stores are as elegant as New York, Paris, and London. Local shops, precious silks, fine jade, women's underwear and silverware, coupled with colorful advertisements and loud music, are eye-catching.

I'm dizzy and my ears are shaking..."

When the car stopped, the maid raised her head and saw the high-rise department store in front of her. She couldn't help but said "Ah", then she covered her mouth and looked up with her eyes wide open.

"Miss, this building is so grand..."

"This is a department store." Fu Dong is accustomed to this. People who come to Shanghai for the first time will always express this emotion. The same is true for him. When he first came to Nanjing on the road, when he looked up, his hat would fall off.

dust.

Nanjing Road is not only a gathering place for foreign merchants, but also a gathering place for Chinese shops. Department stores such as Yongan, Xinxin, and Daxin are also located on this road known as the "Ten Miles of Foreign Markets". These magnificent buildings

The building is located on the bustling Nanjing Road, constantly attracting the attention of passers-by.

Bai Qianyu chose to walk into the "Yong'an Company" because she happened to see this company's advertisement when she was reading the newspaper a few days ago. It was so hyped that "the building is extremely sophisticated, and the pavilion is surrounded by nine-story clouds.

And the collection has become rich and beautiful, and the items are from all over the world. Every company has what it needs, and our company has all the supplies..."

Finally, when I walked into Yong'an Store, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed - it was really just a department store.

She glanced around and suddenly remembered, she quickly looked at the little maid next to her. Her eyes were straight and she was mumbling something. Bai Qianyu listened carefully and found out that she was mumbling "Calm down, calm down, don't give me anything."

The lady is embarrassed, you can’t embarrass the lady..."

In fact, even in Shanghai, the most fashionable city in the country, such large department stores are rare. They have a dazzling array of everything, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to food, drink and entertainment. Almost everything you can think of can be found here, even peepshows.

Even the locals would be dazzled by it, let alone the little girl from Zhili.

When Xiaohuan stepped onto the escalator for the first time, she finally couldn't help shouting "Wow". The little maid thought she would go up to the sky.

Fu Dong, who probably also played the role of bodyguard and tour guide, introduced him responsibly, "The first floor is for daily necessities. You can go shopping there, but you don't have to buy too much. The second floor is for woolen fabrics and satin. The third and fourth floors are for jewelry and watches.

Furniture and other valuable and big-ticket items, the Tianyun Building on the roof can overlook the scenery, there is a cinema and a theater, and overseas movies and Chinese and foreign programs are often performed. If you are hungry, you can also go to the snack bar for something to eat."

Xiaohuan was dazzled by what he heard. How could there be such a place in the world where he could do everything at the same time? Only Bai Qianyu said without interest, "Let's just go to the second floor."

She found it boring to travel back to the Republic of China. The prototype of modern civilization was still hatching. People involved in this process might be surprised or shocked, but she already knew exactly what was hatched. A hundred years later, people passed through

With invisible and intangible data completing every transaction, no matter how luxurious a department store is, it will be in decline.

On the second floor, in front of the counter, the saleswoman came to greet you with a smile, "Everyone, what kind of clothes do you want to buy? I can help you recommend it."

Fu Dong said, "Help this young lady choose something suitable. It doesn't have to be too fashionable."

Bai Qianyu looked around as usual, but Xiaohuan's expression immediately changed. She took a half-step back and timidly pulled Bai Qianyu's sleeves. She looked at the saleswoman as if she had seen some savage beast and hesitated to speak.

"Okay." The saleswoman looked up and down, and it was obvious that the two girls were a master and a servant. One was wearing a bulky jacket and skirt. Although the embroidery material was good, not many people in Shanghai would wear it anymore. The other had narrow sleeves.

Wearing narrow trousers and timid movements, Fu Dong, although not handsome in appearance, the salesperson's eyes focused on his leather shoes for a moment, and he had already labeled this group of people in his mind - the old-style women who came back to Shanghai to seek refuge with relatives for the first time.

Her maid.

For such guests, it is often the most troublesome.

They are conservative, stubborn, and have very strict rules. They cannot touch any of their feet or show their hands. They are either like shrews asking them to bring out the clothes "serious people wear", or they are like gourds, shaking their heads no matter what they ask.

He looked like he wanted to use a screen to isolate himself.
