This pot of Gentleman's Orchid is a good purchase!

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Guan received a call from Secretary Yu Yan, asking him to go downstairs immediately, and the car was downstairs.

Chen Guan hurriedly called Shi Yanming, went downstairs together, opened the trunk of the car, took out the pot of Junzi Orchid named "Fengming" with both hands, and asked Shi Yanming to take a set of engraved "Huayan Sutra" and get on an imported Mercedes-Benz business car parked at the door of the hotel.

As soon as I got in the car, I found that the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government were sitting in the car, Secretary Yu Yan and Secretary General Lin Hechen were also sitting in the car, and the two secretaries-general of the provincial party committee and the provincial government who had been seen on TV were also sitting in the car.

After Chen Guan put the golden orchid pot, he hurriedly got out of the car again, stood at the door of the car and saluted the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and then got back into the car after the two leaders nodded and smiled.

The car started, and under the guidance of an armed guard car in front, it drove out of the hotel compound.

The eyes of the main leaders of the provincial party committee fell on the Junzi Orchid, and after looking at it for a long time, he raised his head and asked: "Chen Guan, does this pot of Junzi Orchid have a name?" ”

Lin Hechen's heart was shocked: The main leaders of the provincial party committee seem to be very familiar with Chen Guan!

Chen Guan hurriedly said: "Report chief, the name of this pot of Junzi Orchid is Feng Ming!" ”

The main leading comrades of the provincial party committee said: "Appreciating Junzi orchid is particular, and the jargon is to watch flowers in one season, fruits in three seasons, and leaves in four seasons. Although the flowers and fruits of the orchid are very beautiful, the foliage is the main thing. For a rare Junzi orchid, the leaves must have four characteristics: short, wide, thick and bright. I see that your junzi orchid has 36 leaves, and the thickness, length-width ratio, color and brightness of the leaves are very good, it should be a rare treasure. Tell me, how much did it cost? ”

Chen Guan honestly replied that they sold it for 16,800 yuan, and the bargaining price was cut to 8,800 yuan.

The main leaders of the provincial party committee all laughed, saying that Chen Guan was not very old, but he was ghostly, and he bargained for potted flowers. Such a good gentleman's orchid, it is fate to meet it, just buy it at the price, what price do you have to cut!

Chen Guan said that he had to bargain, and if he didn't bargain, he couldn't sleep when he went back, and there was always a feeling of loss!

A carload of people all laughed!

The main leaders of the provincial government are only in their early 40s this year, wearing glasses, gentle and elegant, and at this time they also said: "Junzi Orchid is a gentleman in the flowers, some people say that it is a gentleman who is humble, gentle and polite, talented but not arrogant, ambitious but not arrogant, and lives in the valley but not humble." Some people also wrote poems and praised: Although the flowers are good, there is no need to ask, only the gentleman suppresses the group. Chen Guan is good, has vision, has taste, and knows that buying such a pot of precious Junzi Orchid and giving it to Zhao Pulao is just in line with Zhao Pulao's noble character! Yes, just looking at Chen Guan knowing the fact that he bought the rare Junzi Orchid, he knew that Chen Guan had a high vision. Tell me, in addition to this Junzi orchid, what other greeting gift did you prepare for Zhao Pulao? ”

Chen Guan stood up, took the box of "Huayan Sutra" in Shi Yanming's hand, walked to the main leaders of the provincial government, and replied: "Report chief, I have also prepared a set of "Huayan Sutra" engraved by the Chen family bookstore in Wulongyu, and I am ready to ask President Zhao to correct it!" ”

The leaders of the provincial government took the wooden box of the "Huayan Sutra" and looked at it, and saw that it was exactly the same as the wooden box of the "Zizhi Tongjian" engraved by the engraving, which was a gold silk catalpa wooden box painted with soil paint and tung oil, and the title of the "Huayan Sutra" and the payment of the Chen family bookstore were engraved with black thin gold body, so they opened the box again, took out the book from the yellow satin wrapping cloth in the box, checked it, and handed it to the main leaders of the provincial party committee to see, and said: "Okay, I still think that the gift prepared by the office is a bit vulgar, and it is not suitable for Zhao Pulao." Now it's okay, Chen Guan's "Huayan Sutra" and Junzilan make up for the shortcomings. That's a gift for us! ”

The main leader of the provincial party committee said: "Zhao Pulao was born in the family of the fourth generation of Hanlin in Anqing, with a family history, and was influenced by his mother to become a layman since he was a child, and was elected as one of the nine standing committees of the Buddhist Association of China at the age of 22. The biggest characteristic of this person is that he pursues progress, is patriotic, and helped our New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War. After the liberation of Shanghai, he served as the vice minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of East China. After that, he worked in the Buddhist Association of China for a long time, and he was a well-deserved great virtue. It is said that in June 1958, when he accompanied the old man to meet with the Cambodian Buddhist delegation, the old man said that some of the language in the Buddhist scriptures was very strange, and the Buddha said that the first paramita, that is, not the first paramita, is the first paramita. The Buddha said that Zhao Puchu, that is, not Zhao Puchu, is named Zhao Puchu. First affirmation, then negation, then another negative negation, isn't it? Zhao Pulao's answer at that time was: No. Yes yes and no at the same time. Therefore, when the old man later mentioned Zhao Pu, he said that this monk understands dialectics! ”

These are the two main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government talking, and no one else in the car is silent!

After the main leaders of the provincial party committee finished speaking, they handed the book to Chen Guan. Chen Guan picked up the letter and walked back to his seat to sit down, packed the book, and handed it to Shi Yanming.

The main leaders of the provincial party committee sighed again: "Zhao Pulao is not only a Buddhist layman, he is also a real great calligrapher, poet, and writer. It's just that they used the engraving plates of the past, and I don't know if our Chen Family Bookstore's self-made engraving printing can enter his eyes? ”

Still no one answered!

The main leaders of the provincial party committee didn't say anything more, and there was silence in the car.

The main leaders of the Central Plains Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government came to meet the president of the Buddhist Association of China, and the specifications were extremely high. Rao is President Zhao Puchu's senior, profound Buddhism, and also attaches great importance to it, and rushed back to the Buddhist Association from the address of the conference to receive VIPs!

The office of the Buddhist Association of China is located in the Guangji Temple in the west of Fuchengmen, Beijing.

When the car arrived in front of the gate of Guangji Temple, the middle gate of Guangji Temple was wide open to welcome the leaders of Central Plains Province.

Several guards got off the armed police guard car in front, one took the letter of "Huayan Sutra" in the hands of Master Shi Yanming, two people took the Junzilan held by Chen Guan, and the people who came down from the car behind them brought gifts such as Maojian tea brought by the entourage of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government.

The staff of the Buddhist Association of China waited in front of the Guangji Temple and guided the guests directly to the office area of the Buddhist Association of China.

Guangji Temple is an ancient temple with red walls and yellow tiles, which was originally the temple of the Rinzai sect in Buddhism, and was changed to the Buddhist Vinaya dojo in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Chairman Cho Puchu, who is 87 years old, personally greeted the distinguished guests outside the office!

As soon as they met, the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government said that Zhao Pu was good, and President Zhao Puchu and the great monks behind him said "Amitabha".

After entering the conference room of the Buddhist Association, the main leaders of the provincial party committee pointed to the Jun Zilan and the letter of the "Huayan Sutra" carried in by the staff and said: "Old Zhao, we don't have anything to bring here, and it is difficult for ordinary mundane things to enter your old eyes. The name of this junzi orchid is Fengming, and it is a rare treasure. This set of "Huayan Sutra" is engraved by the Chen family bookstore in Wulongyu, Mingshui County, Shuiquan City, Central Plains Province. The scriptures are the kings of the scriptures, and the flowers are the gentlemen of the flowers, representing the sincere blessings of the 80 million people of our Central Plains Province to you! ”

Zhao Puchu said "Amitabha", saying that you have to bother, stared at Junzilan for a while, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and his mouth said again, "Amitabha, good!" Wonderful! ”

Chen Guan was clear and captured the hint of joy in Zhao Lao's eyes, knowing that this gift was the right one, and it was in line with Mr. Zhao's appetite!

Zhao Puchu then set his sights on the letter of the Huayan Sutra.

The two disciples standing behind Zhao Puchu took a step forward and placed the letter of the Huayan Sutra in front of Zhao Puchu.

Zhao Puchu's dim eyes lit up suddenly, staring at the three words "Huayan Sutra" on the letter. After a long time, he said: "The title of this book is derived from the collection of characters in the thin gold calligraphy of the ancients, right?" ”

The main leader of the provincial party committee replied that it was not a collection of characters, but it was written by one of our young calligraphers.

Zhao Puchu asked suspiciously: "Haven't you heard of a calligrapher in the Central Plains who is good at thin gold body?" ”

The principal leading comrade of the provincial party committee explained: "Actually, he is not a calligrapher, but a young cadre. I love calligraphy and practice writing after work, which is a hobby! This Chen Family Bookstore was founded by him! ”

Zhao Puchu didn't believe it, and said that it was impossible, and amateur practice would definitely not reach this level. This word is not only well written, the key is to be energetic, and it has the charm of thin gold calligraphy! Others may not be able to write so well after practicing all their lives, how can a young man practice amateur to reach this level?

The main leaders of the provincial party committee did not expect that Chen Guan's words could be praised so highly by Zhao Puchu, a calligrapher, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, so they didn't say more!

Zhao Puchu asked his disciples to open the letter and took out the neatly bound and antique "Huayan Sutra".

Zhao Puchu's hand trembled slightly, picked up the book, and saw that the cover was written by Chen Guan, without saying a word, he opened the cover and began to read.

When a great calligrapher encounters good characters, he is obsessed with eating more than eating. Zhao Puchu is also like this, he is 87 years old, his Buddhist cultivation is so profound, and he is a contemporary calligrapher, seeing the "Huayan Sutra" engraved by the Chen Family Bookstore from the remote Wulongyu, he suddenly put himself into it, in front of the leaders of the Central Plains Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, he looked at it carefully, and completely ignored whether he would treat the guests slowly!

Of course, with Zhao Puchu's qualifications and experience, the two main leaders of Central Plains Province are juniors in front of him, and he doesn't need to deliberately entertain them.

Looking at it, Zhao Puchu raised his head, and with a puzzled expression, he motioned to several of his disciples and several virtuous monks who came to accompany him to come closer, pointed to the words on the page and said: "This scripture seems to be different from the Huayan Sutra in the Tripitaka, and it seems to be translated more accurately!" ”

Saying this, the great monks and Zhao Puchu's disciples in the conference room all surrounded and looked down!
