While walking, Wei Xingyue introduced Shi Lei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The owner of today's meeting lives here, and the largest house we passed by just now is his. We're going to a clubhouse in Lakeside Park. said that it was a clubhouse, but it was actually his personal scripture pavilion. The owner of the clubhouse is surnamed Bai, and in Jiangdong Province, his wealth should be in the top ten. However, his background is definitely the most powerful among all the rich people in Jiangdong, even my father, when he sees him, he has to be called Bai Lao. Their family is commendably rich from before liberation to the present, and the legend is that they are rich for no more than three generations, and their family is a diametrically opposite example. ”
Rao is Shi Lei has almost no understanding of the Bai family, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He believes that with the wealth of the Wei family, the so-called wealth is no more than three generations, that is, laughing. In fact, although there are not many people who have been rich for more than three generations in China, it is not uncommon. But the Bai family has been rich since before the liberation, and after experiencing various movements after the liberation, they can still be alone, and the wealthy family is still very simple.
"Bai Lao likes calligraphy and painting, but he is by no means as vassal-elegant as the current rich people, and the wealth he spends on collecting in his life can reach almost one-third of his net worth. It is rumored that the ancestor of the Bai family went out of the household department of Shangshu, from that generation, he was a gentleman in the countryside, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, he began to establish an industry, and in the years of war, the Bai family also made a great contribution to the revolution, which cost countless money. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it hibernated for a period of time, and later after the reform and opening up, the Bai family was the first group of people to go to the sea. Bai Lao often said that there are almost no real scholarly families now, and their Bai family is not retro, but he always has such a thought in his heart, and he wants to pass on the style of the Bai family. It's a pity that no one in the Bai family can inherit the mantle of Bai Lao, Bai Lao said that all his treasures will be donated to the country when he leaves the West in the future. In fact, his clubhouse is now similar to an exhibition hall, and if it is not a formal meeting, Bai Lao will often ask Bai Lao to borrow this club to drink tea and chat, saying that under the influence of cultural relics, no matter how ordinary tea will become good. ”
Wei Xingyue talked eloquently, Shi Lei was silent, and the two of them did not rush in, but walked slowly along the lake.
Zhang Seng Miao is a native of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, good at Buddhist painting, many temples in the south of the Yangtze River during the Southern Dynasties, there are murals of him. It's a pity that such a great painter does not have a single painting that has been circulated. In the past, it was said that the true shape of the Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Houses was treasured by the Osaka City Museum of Art in Japan, but it was later determined that it was a copy. Now it is not easy for Bai Lao to find a copy of the Song people. ”
Wei Xingyue said while observing Shi Lei, this is the task assigned to her by Wei Ye.
The reason why he had to bring Shi Lei to this party was that today's gathering gathered many people of his level in the Yangtze River Delta region, and he wanted to see if anyone else had any contact with Shi Lei besides him. Second, Wei Ye wanted to see if there was anything special about Shi Lei, especially in art, because the owner of the pupil of the dark night is rumored to be a guy who is full of enthusiasm for art.
However, for what Wei Xingyue said, Shi Lei was very dazed, or indifferent, as if he couldn't understand a word, and at the same time he didn't seem to be interested.
Wei Xingyue didn't know why Wei Ye told her to do this, she just followed what Wei Ye said, observed Shi Lei's behavior, and saw Shi Lei's indifferent appearance, Wei Xingyue pursed her lips, and said in her heart that Shi Lei is really still that Shi Lei, a person who doesn't even know the fourteenth generation of sake, how can you expect him to have any interest in the art of lofty heights?
Looking at the time, Wei Xingyue said, "It's almost, let's go in." ”
Shi Lei nodded, let Wei Xingyue hold his arm, and walked towards the small bridge between the community and the club.
There is a door at the other end of the bridge, which is said to be a door, but in fact it is more like a firewood in the middle of a country fence, and the symbolic meaning is far greater than the meaning of the door. The difference is that the bridge was empty just now, but now, on both sides of the firewood, there is a middle-aged man in a black suit.
On the bridge, the two men in black immediately stepped forward, bent down slightly, and said, "Miss Wei." ”
Wei Xingyue nodded and said, "This is my male companion." ”
One of the men in black said: "Hello sir, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the clubhouse, if you have any fire sources on you, please leave this place for safekeeping." ”
Shi Lei smiled: "I don't smoke, and I don't have a fire source on my body." I thought that I might have to check it like a security check, but I didn't expect that after hearing this, the two men in black immediately got out of the way and bowed down to let Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue in.
"Do you still trust us, I said that if there is no fire source, they will believe it?" Shi Lei said casually after crossing the bridge and walking on the stone path.
Wei Xingyue chuckled: "The people who can enter and leave here are either rich or noble, and they only say that because you are a fresh face, so kindly remind me." Everyone who has been here before knows the rules here, and no one will be bored. ”
There was a large door in front of him, and standing in front of the door, Shi Lei felt a little strange.
The high courtyard wall and wide gate give Shi Lei the feeling that it was built by the lake, and Shi Lei always feels that as soon as this door is opened, it will be directly Baishui Lake.
Facts have proved that Shi Lei's sense of orientation is still quite strong, even if the courtyard wall completely blocks the line of sight, he still makes accurate judgments.
It's just that after the gate was opened, it was not the lake he expected, but a small courtyard, and after crossing the threshold, Shi Lei found that this courtyard was built on water at all.
At the foot of the road is a road built on the water, on both sides of the road, surrounded by the lake, and there is a flat land in the center, on which some flowers and plants are planted. It covers an area of about two acres, one on the left and one on the right.
In front is the clubhouse, a single-story building, from the width, about twenty or thirty meters, and according to the courtyard wall that Shi Lei just saw all the way to the lake, excluding the courtyards on both sides of his feet, the depth of the small building should be thirty or forty meters.
Even then, it is already huge, with a single floor covering an area of almost a thousand square meters. However, Shi Lei felt a little strange, since it is a place to treasure paintings and calligraphy, built on the lake, this is too pretending, right?
At this time, the two of them had already walked to the end of the path, and in front of them was the antique building, the steps in front of the door were actually made of pure glass, and below was the quiet lake, without a trace of waves.
Walking up the stairs, there was glass under my feet, but after crossing the threshold and entering the gate, the glass finally ended. Otherwise, if the whole house is covered with glass floors, even though you know that it is very safe, as long as you look down, it will always make people feel a little frightened.
Just now, when I was outside, I felt a smell of moisture, but as soon as I entered the door, I felt that it was unusually dry here. In a few seconds, Shi Lei got used to the humidity here, and he no longer felt dry. The feeling of dryness just now is compared to the outside, but in fact, it shouldn't be particularly dry here.
"The clubhouse is completely built on the water, and more than 10 meters of cement piles have been driven, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. All around, including the top of the head and under the feet, are made of brick and concrete, and there is a layer of one-centimeter-thick steel plates sandwiched in the middle, and the club itself alone costs more than 100 million, not counting the security measures of the museum. After entering the door, Wei Xingyue whispered to Shi Lei.
