National Tide 1980

While Song Huagui and Ning Weimin were talking, driver Xiao Zhao had already parked Song Huagui's Mercedes-Benz and came over.

Ning Weimin naturally wanted to let Song Huagui and Xiao Zhao go into the restaurant together.

In fact, just by looking at the splendid decorations outside and the Republican style of the two young men responsible for sliding the door wearing moon-white plain cloth coats, Song Huagui, who is highly artistic, already has it in his heart. High marks for Ning Weimin.

So at this time, she decided that Ning Weimin was an unconventional person, so she naturally became very curious about what was like inside the restaurant, and was looking forward to seeing something different.

Unexpectedly, even with such mental preparation, when she happily stepped forward and actually entered the door of the restaurant, she was still greatly surprised.

Because according to her imagination, no matter what, after opening the door, there should be a palace lantern hanging high with long tassels hanging down.

Or the Chinese-style porch with exquisite paintings, and the gorgeous and exquisite Chinese caisson.

Moreover, beauties with flag makeup are also indispensable. Otherwise, how can we create a palace atmosphere?

As a result, she never expected that after entering, there was only a young man in a white coat guarding a long desk and responsible for signing in guests.

And behind him, what makes people unable to take their eyes away after seeing it is a relief wall that is two stories high and three meters wide.

It is a stunning work carved out of wood based on the core landscapes such as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Danbi Bridge, Chengzhen Gate, Imperial Vault, and Circle Mound in the Temple of Heaven.

In terms of effect, it is really light and shadow, clouds and mist, cranes are flying, and things are forgotten. It is a very impressive vestibule background wall that is far superior to any hotel lobby in China.

As for the left side of the background wall, there is an elevator and a stairwell with a wooden fence, and the right side is the entrance to the pastry shop and kitchen on the first floor.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that on the second floor of the right wall, a half pavilion is very creatively connected to the wall and suspended in the air.

And how special this semi-suspended pavilion is!

The carvings, patterns, and materials on each side are different, but they are extremely exquisite.

Five blessings, wild deer, crane, flowers and birds, dragon pattern, phoenix pattern, unicorn, lion rolling hydrangea...

There are all kinds of auspicious decorations.

Frames, clips, window lattice, hanging screens, railings, flower walls, all available.

It is almost an impressionistic work produced by perfectly combining all the exquisite Chinese carving parts.

In addition, the most rare thing is the unique details.

The windows of this castle in the sky not only exude warm yellow light.

And whether it is on the top of the pavilion or in the clouds and mist of the relief, there are cranes that are used to make materials, flying or standing on them.

This undoubtedly forms a vivid scene that echoes from afar, as if the wonderland is right in front of you.

"This wall is a work of the Sculpture Department of the Academy of Arts and Crafts. I think the relief is better than the one in the museum. Unfortunately, the material is a bit inferior. It is only made of wood. If it were really a bronze sculpture, it would be amazing."

"As for this pieced-together pavilion, it was my idea. I bought a lot of hardwood furniture a while ago. It's a pity to have some of the remnants lying around. I was wondering if I could put them together so that I could show off the carvings. fine."

"I didn't expect that in the end, I actually asked people from the Sculpture Department of the Academy of Arts and Crafts to build a pavilion. It goes perfectly with this relief. Plus these cranes, do you think it looks like that? What's going on?"

Song Huagui stood in the lobby and watched in trance for a long time. Only after Ning Weimin's questioning did he regain consciousness.

Then, he couldn't help but blurt out the compliments.

"Yes! This kind of aesthetic design is really great! The traditional beauty is actually displayed in such a modern way! People can feel the temperature of history and time from it at a glance! You are actually quite artistic! You haven't studied painting yet What a shame!”

No need to say, her words came from the bottom of her heart, which also made Ning Weimin feel so beautiful.

It was almost impossible to restrain the slight curling of the corners of his mouth, almost revealing the complacency in his heart.

It's not that he can't help but praise, the key is that Song Huagui has a different identity, and he is not an ordinary person.

If others don't know him, Ning Weimin still doesn't know.

Although this godmother of the domestic fashion industry is only his leader.

But she herself graduated from the highest art school in the country.

Her husband is also a very famous artist in Bulgaria, and has even appeared in some movie roles abroad.

To put it bluntly, she almost grew up in the art circle, and even her breath smelled of art.

So based on her aesthetics, he was naturally very pleased to see that the front hall was so moving.

It can be seen that his efforts were really wasted, and the completion effect of this front hall is considered to be satisfactory.

In this way, with both sides feeling happy, Ning Weimin and Song Huagui continued to walk upstairs.

Since Song Huagui chose to walk up the stairs, she just turned around the stairs and saw the path along the stairs again. Under the light of twelve bright yellow palace lanterns hanging on the wall, there were twelve lanterns hanging on the wall in sequence. Large-scale portrait of the Qing Dynasty emperor.

And whether it is the palace lantern or the portrait, you can tell at a glance that they are not mediocre things, and are of a very high level.

The further she walked, the stranger she looked, and she couldn't help but admire it.

"The level of these emperors' portraits is pretty good. You won't find the Chinese Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts again, right? And these palace lanterns are more exquisite than any palace lanterns I have ever seen. Not only are they different in shape, but the tassels on each lamp are also different. Same! You are very attentive in decoration, where did you get these? "

Ning Weimin couldn't help but admire Song Huagui's vision.

"If you don't say that you are an expert, you are an expert. You have good eyesight. To be honest, these emperors' portraits were painted with the help of teachers and students from the Chinese Painting Department of your alma mater. However, even though they have been paid, I It’s also a bit regretful. Because I realized afterwards that gongbi painting is actually the most difficult to paint. Now that I think about it, the three hundred yuan for a painting, including the frame, is a bit short.”

"As for this palace lantern, it is a stocked product of the palace lantern factory. It is exquisite. But because it is expensive, some of them are orphans, not in pairs, and neither Fangshan nor Tingliu Hall want them. I think these things are better. Spending more money is actually very worthwhile. Few people can do these things today. There will be no place to buy them in the future. Compared with antiques, I can't compare with others, so I can only try my best to improve the utensils. It’s more sophisticated…”

Although the stairs had reached the end while he was talking, Song Huagui's words that he was about to answer couldn't help but stopped again.

Because another exquisite mahogany carved horizontal fan appeared above the stairs in front of her.

Passion flower texture, a large piece inlaid in the middle, I don't know whether it is red jade or ruby.

Anyway, because of its excellent light transmittance, it looks a bit radiant under the illumination of light.

The red light even shines on the guests' heads and bodies, and there are four gold characters on it, "Good Luck Comes to the Head."

This is called auspiciousness! What a fitting moment!

However, the most amazing thing is that there are still layers to this good news. It is not finished here, there is another echo further down.

Song Huagui followed and discovered that a large carved mahogany mirror at least two meters high was placed on the wall opposite the staircase.

Hanging on the dressing mirror is a bat-head plaque with gold characters on a red background, which reads "Lucky Star Shines High".

See how this gimmick works!

Just think about it and you will know that as long as guests go up and down the stairs, they will definitely like to stop in front of this mirror and take a look.

You must also be very happy in your heart, and you will have a premonition of good luck.
