At nine o'clock, Bao Puzhai opened for business.

Chen Guan took Yu Bai's arm, walked up the gentle steps, and walked into the store.

Walking into the store, Chen Guan's eyes were straight, so elegant!

The lighting pattern on the ceiling is designed according to the shape of the starry sky in the sky, the blue dome, a curved moon, accompanied by stars, the Milky Way slowly flows from east to west, how beautiful it is!

The walls are covered with elegant wallpaper, and the patterns on the wallpaper are all elegant violets and other floral patterns.

The floor is wooden, and the wonderful thing is that it corresponds to the Milky Way from the ceiling, and from east to west there is a small winding channel, and at intervals there is a circular, oval, dustpan-shaped, semicircular, heart-shaped small pool, which is only half a foot deep, and the bottom is paved with colorful pebbles, and the fish swim freely in the water.

There are also small wooden bridges on the canal, and there are windmills, waterwheels, or water mills next to the wooden bridges, with sparse potted flowers and trees, which make people feel like they are in an idyllic scenery.

The whole hall is divided into several areas, there are those who specialize in selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there are those who specialize in selling rare books engraved with engraving, there are oil painting exhibition areas, Chinese painting exhibition areas, printmaking exhibition areas, calligraphy exhibition areas, antique exhibition areas, and there is a reading corner, which is very fashionable, and the style is exactly the same as the old bookstore that Chen Guan saw in Greenwich Village, New York, all of which are open shelves for books, with sofas, coffee tables, and chairs for readers to read.

The latest thing is that there is an audio-visual corner with VCD, VCR, stereo, gramophone and TV, where customers can put on headphones and enjoy their favorite old records, old movies, and old TV series.

The most distinctive thing is that in front of each column, there are sculptures. These sculptures are not single sculptures, but series of sculptures, showing the culture of all dynasties in China since the Zhou Dynasty, including clothing, food, transportation, and official system.

The most vivid of this is a group of sculptures that reflect the changes in the lives of Chinese since the reform and opening up, which is three-dimensional, divided into grassroots levels, and the image displayed at the bottom is the scene of the reform and opening of the rural room, the tweeter on the tree at the head of the village, the villagers eating with coarse porcelain rice bowls under the tree, the captain ringing the bell and shouting to work in the field, the men and women carrying hoes on their backs and laughing and going down to the field, and then the scene of the villagers listening to the books at night, some people listening in the field, some people listening outside the window, a man secretly stretched his hand to a woman's buttocks while listening, And then there's the root of the wall. After the reform and opening up, the image of the sculpture changed, and the bell bottoms and bat shirts that people wore were no longer listening to the storytelling, but they went into the video hall to watch the video, and the women who watched the video hall collect money were wearing wavy heads, wearing short skirts and high heels, and there were women at the door of the video hall who were anxiously waiting for young men to date. On one side of the video hall is a swimming pool where men and women swim in swimsuits. Upstairs is the sign of the beauty salon, a few women with heavy makeup are sitting in the hair salon, the door is a woman soliciting business, and in the curtain behind the hair salon, a man and a woman are negotiating the price and making peace.

And so on, etc., the sculpture truly reproduces the changes in Chinese society since the reform and opening up, and even Chen Guan is dizzying, thinking while watching, and completely devoting himself to it.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Guan took out his mobile phone and called Mingyue directly to Tangtai, asking her to come to Baopu Zhai, saying that he invited her to visit.

When the moon was bright, Professor Yu Bai asked Chen Guan how he felt, okay?

Chen Guan said, I can't guarantee that Baopu Zhai is the only art palace in the world that is arranged in this way, but I dare to guarantee that this is unique in the whole of China and unique in the United States.

Yu Bai smiled, completely relieved, and said that as long as Chen Guan was satisfied, he finally handed in a satisfactory answer.

When Mingyue arrived, Chen Guan and Professor Yu Bai were chatting and watching in the hall.

As soon as he saw that the moon was coming, Chen Guan walked back to the door and took the moon to look at it again.

Yu Bai didn't know Bu Tai Mingyue, and he didn't know that Tan Tai Mingyue was Chen Guan's fiancée, he only knew that the girlfriend Chen Guan brought when he went to his house was Wang Meng. Therefore, seeing that Chen Guan and Tangtai Mingyue were holding hands extremely closely, Yu Bai felt incredible, thinking that Chen Guan had changed his girlfriend again.

Those who study ancient literature, although their mouths say "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", in fact, the heart is generally very traditional. Chen Guan and Yutai Mingyue involuntarily acted intimately, and when they fell into Yu Bai's eyes, it became a question, and the old professor's brows were furrowed!

Chen Guan asked Tangtai Mingyue to look at the layout of the hall, look at the decoration, and finally led her to see the sculpture.

Tantai Mingyue has never seen such a sculpture with connotation, her eyes are shining, and she is coquettish.

Chen Guan asked: "Mingyue, can you ask the Provincial Taiwan News Department to make a series of special reports for Bao Puzhai?" ”

Tantai Mingyue glanced at Chen Guan coquettishly, and said angrily: "I haven't reported to work yet, and you started to fight the idea of the Provincial Taiwan News Department?" ”

Chen Guan smiled, and after laughing, he said: "Mingyue, after you go to work in the provincial Taiwan, you must have a good relationship with the leaders of Taiwan and the leaders of the department, and try to publicize our water spring, our Mingshui, and our Wulongyu tourist attraction, Chenjia Bookstore, and Baopu Zhai." In the future, the province and Taiwan will be your mother's home, I will be the aunt of the province, you don't promote the Wulongyu tourist attractions, don't promote the hug Pu Zhai, then there is no reason! ”

Yutai Mingyue was amused and said that Chen Guan had a poor mouth!

The two of them talked and watched, and later, Tangtai Mingyue said: "Chen Guan, to be honest, Professor Yu Bai has arranged this hug Puzhai design really well, which is refreshing, and it is really newsworthy." Don't say it, when I go to work, I will definitely bring a provincial Taiwan reporter to interview me. ”

Chen Guan immediately said, "The task is handed over to you?" Let's talk about it first, it is the time for the opening of Baopu Zhai, and there must be a provincial and Taiwan reporter to the scene for an interview, you bring it, shoot well, organize it well, and make a series of special reports to create a sensational effect! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mingyue to agree, Chen Guan turned to Yu Bai and said, "Teacher Yu, Mingyue has already agreed." When Baopu Zhai officially opened, the provincial TV news reporter wanted to come to interview, produce a series of feature films, and broadcast them in the news program! ”

This Chen Guan is really good at seizing the opportunity, and Mingyue has not yet gone to work in the province, so he has pressed down on this task.

At this time, Chen Guancai pointed to Tangtai Mingyue and introduced to Yu Bai that this was Tangtai Mingyue, his fiancée, who was originally the host of Shuiquan TV, and now he has been transferred to the provincial station, and he is about to report to work.

Yu Bai frowned when he heard this, because he had a good impression of Wang Meng, and when he was at home, Wang Meng's demeanor was completely self-proclaimed as Chen Guan's girlfriend. Now Chen Guan introduced that Tangtai Mingyue is his fiancée, but what about Wang Meng? Could it be that Chen Guan is also like ordinary young people now, seeing one loving the other, and breaking up with Wang Meng?

No matter how many questions Yu Bai had in his heart, he couldn't say it at this time.

Yu Bai gathered his thoughts, smiled and shook hands with Tangtai Mingyue to say hello, and then urged Chen Guan to hurry up and prepare, and inscribe plaques and couplets.

Chen Guan replied that he was not in a hurry, he hadn't gone to the basement to read it yet, and he would write it after reading it.

The three of them went down to the basement together.

Chen Guan went to the basement to know that this was the real exhibition area, and the wallpaper on the wall was very smooth, waiting for the deployment of famous paintings.

The ceiling and floor of the basement are the same as those on the first floor, but the environment is more beautiful, because it is a constant temperature, a variety of green plants and potted plants are lush, and there is also a piano, which integrates leisure and ornamentation.

The basement area is divided into three areas, one area is the exhibition area of famous calligraphy and painting works confessed by Chen Guan, all of which are display cabinets; the other area is reserved for calligraphers and painters to hold personal exhibitions of calligraphy and painting; The third area is the auction hall, which is equipped with auction tables and seating areas.

Yu Bai said that the flow of water in the basement and the first floor, including the outside of the store, is all circulating, using foreign technology to ensure that the flow of water is continuous, non-rotten, and automatic. The basement is equipped with a famous calligraphy and painting exhibition area, and the temperature is kept constant by air conditioning. In addition, for security, there are enough cameras to monitor the entire exhibition area.

After the introduction, Yu Bai asked Chen Guan, are there any famous paintings and calligraphy exhibited by Rong Bao Zhai? Who are the works of whom? When will it be transported to the spring?

Chen Guan replied that Rong Bao Zhai's famous calligraphy and painting works have arrived in Shuiquan years ago, and he wanted to hand them over directly to Mr. Yu before going to the training camp, but this batch of calligraphy and painting works is too precious, in case of careless storage, one or two pieces are lost, and they can't explain to Rong Bao Zhai, and they can't afford to pay for others, so they have been stored in a safe place.

As for who the works are, Chen Guan gave a general introduction, saying that Wu Changshuo, Ren Bonian, Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Pu Xinshe, Li Keran, Pan Tianshou, Li Kuchan, Shi Lu, Wu Zuoren, Wu Guanzhong, Cheng Shifa, Gao Jianfu, Liu Haisu, Yu Youren, Guo Moruo, Qi Gong, Shu Tong, Guan Shanyue, Fan Zeng, Huang Zhou, Lin Fengmian, Ye Qianyu, Liu Wenxi, Zao Wou-Ki and other modern and modern masterpieces are all masterpieces, all of which are representative works.

When Yu Bai heard this, he couldn't sit still, and urged this Chen Guan to quickly inscribe the plaque and couplet, and then take him to take a look, a sneak peek!

Yu Bai's expression is very normal, his ancient literary cultivation is so high, and the level of appreciating calligraphy and painting works is also very high, when I hear the masterpieces of Wu Changshuo, Ren Bonian, Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Pu Xinshe, where can I still sit still!

Chen Guan smiled, didn't say anything, and went up to the first floor with Yu Bai's arm.

Yu Bai is only in his early 60s and is in good health, so he doesn't need Chen Guan's support at all. However, Chen Guan is to show his respect for the teacher, and Yu Bai is also willing to enjoy the dignity of the teacher, and he really let Chen Guan go!

The two waiters brought rice paper and pen and ink, Chen Guan concentrated, pondered for a moment, hung his wrist and moved the pen, and wrote the three big characters of "Hug Pu Zhai" with seal calligraphy!
