PS: Today's second update, please support this book friend with a monthly pass, thank you.

Speaking of idle chapters, in fact, idle chapters are not idle at all. On the contrary, seal science has developed to the present day, and idle seals have become an indispensable part of Chinese painting and calligraphy. In particular, the content of the idle chapter has become more and more extensive and full of interest.

As for the form of the content, it is even more unrestrained, or self-composed words and sentences, or extracting aphorisms and aphorisms in idle chapters, in order to show the perception of life and art. It can be bluntly dissected, or it can be refracted implicitly, and it can entertain itself and make people have endless fun.

For example, the content of the idle chapter formulated by Wang Guan is that all things are self-satisfied. According to his own understanding, this verse is not only elegantly worded, but also meaningful and cautionary.

"Warning?"

Wu Lao was a little surprised, and said with interest: "I really can't see this, what warning is there?" ”

"Cheng Hao's poem is even, there are a total of eight sentences, I quote the first sentence of the neck couplet, all things are self-satisfied, and the next sentence connected with it is the four o'clock Jiaxing and people." Wang Guan slowly explained: "All things are self-satisfied, and the four seasons are the same as others." It seems to me that these two verses should contain some philosophical truth. ”

"Whether it's everything in the universe or the scenery of the four seasons, as long as you calm down and watch carefully, you can always get something. However, to a certain extent, all things in the universe and the scenery of the four seasons are not a kind of materialistic temptation. ”

Wang Guan smiled and said: "So I think the key is to be quiet, keep quiet, and always pay attention to maintaining a normal state of mind, so as not to lose yourself in the prosperous materialism." ”

"Of course, it's easier said than done, and I definitely can't do it now."

At the end, Wang Guan said frankly: "That's why I want to engrave this seal, which can be regarded as a warning to myself." ”

"Good."

Timely. Wu Lao nodded approvingly and said, "It's good to have this heart." ”

"Old Wu, don't be deceived by him."

At the same time, Yu Feibai said with a smile: "I don't think the original intention of his seal is so noble, but it actually means 'I stay at home and watch quietly, and the treasures of the world will obediently fall into my hands'." Where is this self-warning, it is clearly the idea of falling for nothing and sitting back and enjoying the results. ”

"Nonsense." Wang Guan scolded with a smile: "Why do any good words change taste in your mouth." ”

"That's your weak heart...... Wait, why does that sound so weird. Yu Feibai said angrily: "You are not the same, you will secretly stumble on me at every opportunity, insidious." ”

"Each other, each other." Wang Guan smiled. After all, in front of Wu Lao, it's not good to be too casual, so stop there.

After that, everyone naturally talked about the content of the seal of the idle seal, and the most talked about was naturally the content of the seal of the celebrities of the past dynasties. For example, Zheng Banqiao's rare confusion, painstaking efforts to cast the ancient and modern for the furnace, and the cattle and horses under the Qingteng Gate; Qi Baishi's Luban disciples, the floating name is too real, you must know that heaven rewards hard work, and the spirit of a generation belongs to flowers and plants......

The contents of all kinds of idle chapters can be described as innumerable, and between the veritable square inches, there are thousands of weather. This science is so vast and complex that no one dares to say that it has been thoroughly studied. It's good to have a general idea.

Anyway, for a whole day, a few people spent talking and laughing in Wu's house, and during the period, the interest came, and he also designed a few Indian knots for Wang Guan to choose. However, he didn't wait for Wang Guan to decide which one to go first. Wu Lao overturned his plan, he felt that it was not perfect enough and needed to be further improved......

In this repetitive process, gradually into the evening. Qian Lao took Wang Guan and Yu Feibai to say goodbye.

Wu Lao sent them out of the door, and then said bluntly: "I have to work behind closed doors for the past few days, and I will not entertain guests." So no matter what's going on, don't come here. I'll let you know when I've finished carving the seal. ”

Everyone definitely doesn't mind, especially Wang Guan, I wish Wu Lao was as focused as possible.

On the way back, Qian Lao smiled and said: "Wang Guan, you are really lucky, Brother Wu is so cautious, it means that he intends to treat the three seals as something like a posthumous work, so it takes extra effort." ”

"You're making a lot of money." Yu Feibai is very envious, the "deathbed posthumous work" of a famous seal carving master, it is definitely a work that can be handed down, plus precious materials such as the best red robe, it can be expected that there will be a few more treasure seals to appear.

"Thanks to Mr. Qian's introduction."

At this time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "And in two days, it is estimated that Qian Lao will be troubled again." ”

"It's fine."

Understanding what Wang Guan meant, Qian Lao waved his hand and said, "If you stay at home for a long time, it's good to go out and walk around occasionally." You don't have to bother with me, but the new store is open, and you have to go and say hello to your nearby counterparts and give you an invitation. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded hurriedly, whether to come or not is someone's business, but whether to give an invitation or not is a matter of his own attitude.

"Actually, it's much better now, and I don't have the same old habits as before." Qian Lao smiled: "If you are in the old society, if you want to gain a foothold in the capital as an outsider, you will definitely have to make some difficulties." ”

"That's why I want to ask Qian Lao to help support the field." Wang Guan didn't hide it, and said directly: "With you in charge, I can feel a lot more at ease." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you arrange for hundreds of knife and axe men to be nearby, and when you see someone coming to make trouble, immediately throw a cup as a sign and kill the ...... together?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't help, forget it, don't make a mess." Wang Guan directly declined the kindness, and finally had time to come to the glaze factory to inspect the decoration of the store the next day.

In fact, the decoration is relatively simple, that is, it is repainted with lime, and then painted with a layer of natural plant paint, and by the way, it is embellished with some simple, simple and elegant ornaments, although it makes the store elegant and generous, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

"After all, times are different, and even if the antique shop can't be decorated as magnificently as a jewelry store, it should still have the atmosphere of the times." Wang Guan talked eloquently: "Just look at the shops in the vicinity, although they are all retro style, but the style is just style, it is impossible to be completely retro, and it is the same as the store a hundred years ago." ”

"What would a store look like a hundred years ago?"

Wang Guan asked and answered: "Old, messy, and small space, this is everyone's inherent impression. Now of course it's better, the storefront space is getting bigger and bigger, but some people can't wait to stuff the storefront with stuff and look smaller. Therefore, we must fully learn the lesson, and we must give people a sense of orderliness and orderliness. ”

"What do you think of the layout?" Cao Xiang asked curiously.

"Well...... this" Wang Guan hesitated, turned around and smiled: "Baye, how do you think it should be arranged?" ”

"I don't know much about that." Baye frowned and said, "I'm afraid of making a mess, but it's not decent." ”

"It's okay, it's just a reference." Wang Guan smiled, turned his head and said, "Third brother, you are well-informed, you can also say what you think." Everyone brainstorms and strives for excellence. ”

"Hmm."

Knowing that Wang Guan was not saying polite words, Cao Xiang thought about it seriously.

At the same time, Bayeux seemed to have some idea, and took a pen and paper to sketch it gently. Soon after, a sketch with simple lines and a very clear distribution of shelves and cabinets was presented.

Wang Guan looked carefully and found that the sketch was also a bit special, only to see that the cash register was actually located in the center of the store, and the counters were fan-shaped on both sides. This arrangement is really different from the vulgar stream, and it also seems to be staggered, which meets the requirements of Wang Guan.

After looking at it for a moment, Wang Guan was naturally full of praise, and then muttered: "If this is the case, the wall facing the door is a little empty. ”

"The proprietor is a fan of the authorities." Cao Xiang reminded beside him: "This is the middle hall, which can be used to hang calligraphy and paintings." ”

"yes, I almost forgot about it." Wang Guan patted his forehead and suddenly smiled: "I'm so busy that I can't even think of such an obvious arrangement." ”

This is not an excuse, I just turned around a lot and visited my counterparts on the whole street one by one, which is really tiring. It's okay to be cold even if you have a cold temperament, and you can leave after giving an invitation and chatting casually. But there are also hospitable people or people who hide knives in their smiles, and when they see their peers coming, they are naturally entertained with good tea, and they inquire intentionally or unintentionally.

A morning's work was spent on this matter. As for the afternoon, Wang Guan was not able to calm down, leaving Cao Xiang to arrange the cabinets in the store, and he took Baye Ye to continue to go around the capital to submit invitations.

Fortunately, Wang Guan didn't know many people in the capital, except for Qian Lao and Yu Feibai, there were only a few Zhou Lao, Tang Qinghua, and Xiao Shan. Although it has been said on the phone, it is more formal to give an invitation.

In addition, Pi Qiushi couldn't be ignored, so he went to Jinmen again. When he came back from Jinmen, another day passed. It's definitely not over, and there are still a lot of trivial things to worry about. In the midst of this hectic state, it was time for the official opening of the antique shop.

On this day, the sun was shining, the morning breeze was blowing, and the air quality was good. The most rare thing is that there is no traffic jam, so Wang Guan came to the store very smoothly and is making the final preparations.

Of course, the preparations have already been prepared, and what Wang Guan has to do is to welcome guests, as for other things such as setting off firecrackers and smoking candy, there are naturally the big shopkeeper Cao Xiang and two guys to do.

That's right, it's man. How can there be no buddies with a shopkeeper, in fact, during the renovation period, Cao Xiang was already looking for a candidate for a buddy, and after Wang Guan came back from Songyuan for an inspection, he decided to hire the two.

At this time, watching a guy light firecrackers and a guy distributing tobacco candy to passers-by, Wang Guan also felt a little emotional, and smiled with his slender hand holding the bay leaf: "The ancients often said that starting a family and starting a business. I'm starting a business now, when do you think we're going to make up for the previous things? ”

"It's funny again." Bai Ye said lightly: "Be serious, Qian Lao and they are coming over." ”

While speaking, a sedan slowly stopped near the door of the store, and then walked out of the car a guest who surprised Wang Guan a little...... (To be continued.) )
