Chapter 13 The Summer Palace You Don't Know
What is Xuefu Wucheh?
What is short-sightedness?
What does it mean to slap yourself in the face?
Bang bang bang.
I really didn’t know before, but it was okay. An hour later, Tang Guo knew everything.
Baiyi Pavilion closed early again, and Lao Wang opposite was secretly enjoying himself, waiting to rent Baiyi Pavilion.
Originally, Pizi wanted to go with Tang Guo, but he received a call from the landlord at the last minute, saying that the downstairs complained about a leak in his bathroom, so...he had no choice but to abandon Guo Guo first.
Holding the compiled Baiyi Pavilion information, Tang Guo stood outside Li Fan's house and took three deep breaths.
What's so scary? What's inside is human, not floating. In one word, do it.
Dong dong dong...
This time the door opened faster.
"Come in!" Li Fan said sideways.
"It shouldn't be time for you to rest yet. I originally wanted to come earlier, but something happened on the way and I was delayed for a while." Tang Guo said as he walked inside.
"It's okay, you can stay up late today." Li Fan returned.
As soon as these words came out, Tang Guo was moved in her heart. This kid is quite warm!
"I guess we have to discuss it for a while. You decide what you want to eat and order takeout." Li Fan took out his mobile phone and said.
"I... can eat anything, but it would be perfect if I could have some boiled fish." Tang Guo was not being polite, this was clearly "stinky and shameless".
"Okay, let's eat boiled fish. You sit down first and I'll bring some information." Li Fan arranged.
This was not his first time here, so Tang Guo didn't need to see anyone outside. He put the information he brought on the table, then opened his laptop and pulled out the information from the folder.
Tang Guo was ready, but Li Fanna still didn't come out.
How is this going?
A living person will not disappear out of thin air!
Just when Tang Guo couldn't help but be curious and wanted to go up and take a look, Li Fan came out carrying a wooden box.
"What does such a beautiful wooden box contain?" Tang Guo quickly stepped forward to help.
"It's been my father's whole life." Li Fan put the box on the table.
Tang Guo was so frightened that he would just step back. He would still be a wooden box for the rest of his life... No way!
This thing can't be kept at home, it's not good, and if you leave it alone, she Tang Guo is an outsider, so it's not good to move out to meet outsiders!
The sky was so blue that Tang Guo came here just to make a comeback in Baiyi Pavilion. He really didn't think about having nightmares at night or anything like that.
"Why are you stunned? Give me your hand and open it together." Li Fan greeted.
"Don't, don't, don't... this, this, this... I'm an outsider, okay, okay..." Tang Guo stuttered.
Looking at Tang Guo's reaction and looking at the dark red wooden box, he seemed to understand something. The corners of his mouth raised, and he was really dumbfounded.
"As a favor, this contains all the notes of my father's work in the Summer Palace." Li Fan explained.
"Notes! Hey, you said you, could you have said it earlier?" Tang Guo gasped, rolled up his sleeves and came to help.
Oh, don't tell me, this wooden box is definitely made of good material and the lid is very heavy. No wonder I need help.
There are notebooks lined up neatly inside. It can be seen that Li's father is a well-organized person. From this look, he probably has a more elegant temperament than Li Fan.
"How many years has this computer been used? Why didn't uncle write it down on the computer?" Tang Guo carefully took out the notes. They were full of the flavor of time, and each notebook was numbered. He was really a fastidious person.
"People of their generation are more accustomed to taking notes than using computers," Li Fan explained.
"That's true, but does so many notes have anything to do with you taking over the job at Baiyi Pavilion?" Tang Guo asked.
"Of course it does matter, and it matters a lot. Didn't I tell you that all cultural and creative designers must have a thorough understanding of their background information before designing products. This is the background information of the Summer Palace, and my father's notes
What is recorded in it is a different Summer Palace." Li Fan said.
"A different Summer Palace? It sounds very exciting. Can you tell me what makes it different?" Tang Guo became curious.
As soon as I finished speaking, the takeaway arrived.
Yes, let’s chat while eating!
"You know the Summer Palace is a place for royal leisure and entertainment, right?" Li Fan asked.
"Of course I know, the information on the roadside." Tang Guo clamped a piece of fish with great precision.
"Did you know that the Paiyun Hall in the Summer Palace was built for Cixi's birthday?" Li Fan asked next, and gave Tang Guo a piece of fish.
"Don't go in-depth step by step. Can you just skip Baidu Encyclopedia and get some useful information that you don't know?" Tang Guo is also impatient.
"It seems that you are not a tour guide for nothing. You do know something about it. Then I will tell you the story of the two Buddha statues in the Buddhist Incense Pavilion recorded in my father's notes. The Thousand-Armed Guanyin you can see now
The Buddha statue is actually not original." Li Fan said.
"It's not original? Tell me, what's going on?" It's so delicious to have a meal with a story.
"The Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Buddha statue in Foxiang Pavilion actually came from a crack in the wall of an old temple in Beijing. There was a small Buddha missing on the top of the big Buddha's head. My father remembered that someone had salvaged a small Buddha while swimming in Kunming Lake. As a result,
Guess what, take it and try it on the top of the Buddha to make it fit tightly." Li Fan said while gesturing.
Don't tell me, Tang Guo has pictures in his mind.
"Isn't it amazing?" Li Fan asked.
"Indeed, do you think the fish we ate was caught from Kunming Lake by accident?" Tang Guo responded.
"Everything I tell you is true. It's all recorded in my father's notes. It's not like the old man working in the Summer Palace doesn't know it yet." Li Fan returned.
"How many times have you read these notes?" Tang Guo asked.
"Less than half, I'm still reading. After reading these notes, I will have a deeper understanding of the Summer Palace, and the designed things will be more vivid." Li Fan returned.
"It sounds vivid to me. Please tell me more quickly." Tang Guo asked for a meal online.
"Then let me tell you about the reconstruction of the Summer Palace after a fire destroyed it in 1860. The person responsible for the construction was Lei Tingchang, the seventh generation descendant of the "Zi Shi Lei" family. Most of them were built according to the Qingyi Garden, but
Due to the shortage of manual funds, there are also simplified styles, such as the Epiphyllum Pavilion at the east foot of Wanshou Mountain..." Li Fan said while picking up vegetables for Tang Guo.
Tang Guo heard that it was wonderful that the weight loss matter that had been arranged yesterday was interrupted so quietly.
The more Li Fan said, the more confident Tang Guo felt.
This time, they really found the right person. With such a knowledgeable look, coupled with Li Fan’s reputation in the cultural and creative circles, Baiyi Pavilion, a thousand-year-old salted fish, is really going to hit the big time.
Good luck, I've turned around nicely.
However, before turning over, Tang Guo looked at his Alipay balance and looked up at Li Fan.
Chapter completed!
