Chapter 11 The British Exhibition

Fu's parents stayed for a few days, and Fu Yue took them to visit various attractions in H City during the day, and stayed at home at night to make design drawings, and lived a busy and fulfilling day.

It was Saturday in a blink of an eye. Fu Yue called Cai Zhengyan on Friday and asked if he could come and take his parents to the area around Huyin Temple. Cai Zhengyan readily agreed. My mother entrusted it to Cai Zhengyan. Cai Zhengyan held the steering wheel and said, "Ayue, leave it to me! Uncle and aunt, Xiao Cai's tour guide service is absolutely in place."

Fu's father and Fu's mother watched Cai Zhengyan grow up, treating him as half a son, and Cai Zhengyan also treated them as his parents, and they set off happily.

Fu Yue returned to the community, tidied up, and went to ring the doorbell of Xu Zheng's house.

Xu Zheng opened the door. Today he was wearing his signature clothes, a white shirt and suit pants, while Fu Yue... also wore a white shirt and suit pants. It's almost the same, and the temperament is also good. Looking at the double model that looks like a Taobao men's shirt, Xu Zheng smiled: "Come in, I'll clean up the kitchen and then I can go."

Fu Yue entered the door. This was the second time he had entered Xu Zheng's house. It was still the same black and white world, but there was a brightly colored flower arrangement on the table, and a Western-style pastoral painting on the wall, which was full of greenery and romance. Fu Yue leaned down and smelled the porcelain flower arrangement, which had no floral fragrance and was extremely lifelike fake flowers.

When Xu Zheng came out of the kitchen, he saw Fu Yue bending over to sniff the flowers. He held the rag and stood still for a while, until Fu Yue got up and looked up, then he walked to the table and wiped it clean.

Fu Yue asked: "Why did you suddenly buy flower arrangements and hanging paintings?" It was very different from this black and white world.

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows lightly: "It looks pleasing to the eye, so I bought it. Why, the architect doesn't like it?"

"To be honest, it's a little bit." Fu Yue walked to the hanging painting, "However, it's very pretty, and you have good taste."

Xu Zheng didn't believe it: "Really? Or give me face against my will?"

Fu Yue smiled slightly: "Of course it is true, otherwise I would not speak."

"Understood." Xu Zheng put away the rag, put on his leather shoes, and carried his wallet, "Okay, we can go now."

When they entered the elevator, Xu Zheng said, "Fu Yue, you took me back before, but today I will take you there."

Fu Yue said: "Okay, let me try the driving skills of a lawyer, will I be safe?"

Xu Zheng shook the car key: "Then I'm sure, I won."

"You'll know only after trying it." Fu Yue would not admit defeat first.

Xu Zheng's car has a high roof, which is very comfortable for a long-legged person like Fu Yue. He fastened his seat belt and watched Xu Zheng start the car.

"Want to listen to music?" Xu Zheng asked.

"Just follow your habits." Fu Yue said.

When Xu Zheng's hand was about to press the play button, Fu Yue said again: "But...I don't really want to listen to it now." Compared to listening to music, he wanted to chat with Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng withdrew his hand, Fu Yue suddenly thought of the sentence "Love is wanting to touch but then withdraws his hand", he couldn't help grinning, Xu Zheng asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Fu Yue told Xu Zheng what he thought just now, and said, "Have you read his book? Salinger."

"I've seen it." Xu Zheng said, "But don't you think it's strange that this sentence is associated with the music play button in this situation?"

Fu Yue said: "It's very strange, but if you have a girlfriend, you can tell her this joke, I guess she will be amused, you, have you?"

After a while, Xu Zheng said, "No."

Fu Yue's heart was beating fast, his face was still hidden, and he said nonchalantly, "Me neither."

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Fu Yue looked at Xu Zheng's side face. Xu Zheng was very serious when driving, keeping his eyes on the front. Fu Yue asked, "When did you take your driver's license test? Your skills are good."

"I got it after I finished a few subjects during the summer vacation of my freshman year," Xu Zheng said.

Fu Yue asked: "So fast, if you can finish it in one summer vacation, then you have passed the second and third subjects at once?"

Xu Zheng hummed, and asked back, "Aren't you?"

"I... I failed my second class once." Fu Yue said.

Xu Zheng thought for a while: "External factors?"

Fu Yue said: "I have caught a cold. However, I mainly blame myself. I usually practice very well. I thought it was safe, so I was lazy in training. It can be regarded as a lesson learned from this incident. The second time passed smoothly. .”

"So don't be lazy when you run in the morning, even if you have extra training, you must persist, for your goal of finishing the marathon." Xu Zheng reacted quickly, and he still remembered Fu Yue's face stretched in the morning.

Fu Yue really shot himself in the foot, he smiled wryly, "Can't we add five kilometers to get used to it for a week?"

Xu Zheng said: "There is still one and a half months until the autumn marathon, it is better to prepare as soon as possible. Don't be afraid, your stamina is already very good now, you can persist."

Fu Yue said, "Okay."

After chatting all the way, they finally arrived at the museum. After the two checked the tickets at the gate, they went in.

There were quite a lot of people on Saturday, so Xu Zheng asked, "Should we take a look here first? Or go directly to the British Exhibition?"

Fu Yue said: "Don't worry, start from here and take your time." He has visited the H City Museum countless times during his college years, but the people around him are different, and his mood is different. Every time he looks at it, he will have a different feeling. feel.

The first exhibition is the exhibition of ancient Chinese history. From the outside to the inside, the exhibits are distributed according to the historical period. First, there are all kinds of stone tools and flakes, jade, bronze and iron, ape-man fossils, skull fragments, and finally The gold and silver wares of the Qing Dynasty, flower hanging screens, emperor's dragon-patterned robes, etc. are carefully looked at one by one. Walking through this historical corridor, you can feel the long history and strong wind of Chinese culture for thousands of years.

Fu Yue was fascinated by it, and Xu Zheng was also fascinated by it.

Even the brief introduction is not overlooked, and I read it word by word, even the words are historical and charming.

After shopping for a long time, they arrived at the next exhibition, a feast for foodies - cultural food exhibition, tofu skin buns and pigeon eggs in "A Dream of Red Mansions", double fresh sauce in "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", and "Spirited Away" Sponge cakes, gluten-stuffed meat, the pain of death and broken hearts in "Don Quixote"—in fact, they are ham and scrambled eggs. After watching the food all the way, Fu Yue unconsciously touched his stomach, obviously Not hungry, but very hungry.

The food in literature, the food in film and television, and the food in animation are all blended with the regional ethnic culture. In the introduction, each food is written in a few words. If you understand its history, you will respect the food more.

The next exhibition is the Azure World—Ocean Exhibition. Large and small fake fish, dolphins, and giant turtles are hung from the ceiling. Behind them is the deep blue ocean background. The soft light shines down. The place is very dreamy, and many couples They all chose to take a back photo here.

Xu Zheng asked, "Do you want to take a photo?"

Fu Yue wanted to go, but looking at the crowd, he felt that it would not be easy to squeeze in: "Forget it? There are a lot of people."

Xu Zheng said: "Can we wait for a while, did we see that couple? After they leave, you stand over immediately and I will take a picture for you."

Fu Yue looked at the couple that Xu Zheng signaled to. They occupied an excellent photo position. Fu Yue got ready and said, "Okay."

After a while, the couple left with the child, and Fu Yue rushed up, turning slightly sideways and smiling at Xu Zheng's camera.

Three two one, click, Xu Zheng finished the photo, he clicked into the photo he just took, Fu Yue in the photo has his hands in his pockets, his face is half-lit, his smile is shallow, his eyes are very active, he is looking at the camera , as if looking at people.

Fu Yue came over and asked, "How is it? Let me see."

Xu Zheng put away his phone: "I'll send it to you when I go back."

Fu Yue: "..."

Xu Zheng walked towards the subsea tunnel, and Fu Yue hurriedly followed.

Colorful coral reefs, a wide variety of marine animals, huge turtles and ferocious crocodiles passed in front of them. Being in this submarine tunnel, they can experience this underwater wonder without a submersible.

After visiting the Azure World, Fu Yue glanced at his watch. It was already 12:30, and asked Xu Zheng, "Are you hungry? Go eat now?"

Xu Zheng said, "Okay, do you want to eat in the museum or go out?"

Fu Yue thought for a while: "Let's go outside, the ones in the museum... are a bit of a waste of money."

They walked out of the museum and went to the business district next door, because near the office building, several floors inside were full of food, a lunch and dinner area for white-collar workers.

Sauerkraut fish, pot cover, Bangbang chicken, fried chicken shop, beef noodles, they walked past each house, but neither of them had anything they wanted to eat.

Turning a corner, Fu Yue's eyes lit up, and he said, "Which Nuojiji do you eat?"

Xu Zheng glanced at the excited Fu Yue: "Okay."

They went in and looked at the menu. Shuang Niang Tuan, Donkey Roll, Gorgon Fruit Cake, etc., are all the kings of glutinous rice cakes!

Fu Yue ordered five or six servings before asking Xu Zheng: "I'm enough, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Zheng ordered a corn cake and said, "I've had enough, too."

Fu Yue said: "You can eat with me what I ordered, I may not be able to finish it."

"Treat me as a tool?" Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

That's what he said, but in the end he really helped Fu Yue eat all the leftover Nuojiji, and Fu Yue was dumbfounded: "You don't keep healthy anymore?"

"Once in a while, it's okay." Xu Zheng said lightly.

Fu Yue: "...Aren't you tired of it?" He just ordered a lot just now, just wanted to try the taste of everything, thinking that he would take it home if he couldn't finish it, but Xu Zheng had finished it.

Xu Zheng said: "Didn't you see that I drank barley tea while eating? Barley tea relieves the tiredness."

Fu Yue belatedly said, "Let's go to the British Exhibition."

The two entered through another door of the museum and went up to the fourth floor where the British Exhibition was located.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the clothing awards of modern London, the elegant gentleman's clothing in West London, and the streetwear in East London, all of which were fashionable in England at that time.Fu Yue looked at an expensive black tuxedo with high lapels, taffeta top, high sleeves, and a good drape. He couldn't move his feet.

Xu Zheng walked to Fu Yue's side: "Do you like this one?"

"I like it." Fu Yue said what was in his heart, "But I want to see how you wear it."

Solemn, serious, elegant, sacred.

Xu Zheng: "Huh?"

"I think this tuxedo is very suitable for you and fits your temperament." Fu Yue said.

Xu Zheng looked at the tuxedo worn by a certain British royal family hundreds of years ago, and said with deep doubts: "...Really?"

Fu Yue said: "Really, next time I will give you one, you will know when you wear it."

"Farewell, as the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing." Xu Zheng shook his head.

Fu Yue laughed and said: "As the saying goes, hospitality is hard to turn down, but it is disrespectful. Respect is worse than obedience. There are so many sayings, which one do you listen to?"

Xu Zheng had no choice but to skip this topic: "Go on and read, it's been a long time at the tuxedo."

Fu Yue listened to him, stopped talking, and continued to walk down.

The following is the epitome of modern British consumption. Industries such as agriculture and horticulture, fashion and crafts, furniture and decoration, papermaking and printing continue to develop. The comfort, decency and convenience brought about by technological innovation and technological innovation have made the effective demand of the British people continue to rise. .Cream and pearl ceramics were all the rage, new agricultural tools and techniques were invented, art and literature were commercialized, and entertainment became an essential experience of life.From their food, clothing, visits, gifts, festivals and other behaviors, they can all reflect a pursuit of elegance and dignity. No matter how big their class income gap is, their requirements for taste cannot be lowered.

Fu Yue likes this British style very much. He walks down here and feels that he has come to the streets of London. This is the wonderful experience brought by the museum.

He saw an old-fashioned camera with a copper-red casing, very retro in color and beautiful in appearance.Fu Yue had studied photography in his elective course in university. A beautiful camera makes people love to hold on to it. Taking pictures with such a mood can easily be tainted with emotions.

Xu Zheng was looking at an old-fashioned wall clock, an antique that was so old that it lost its teeth. He was still holding a sigh of relief, swinging stubbornly from side to side, ticking, refusing to stop.There is also an old-fashioned wall clock in his grandfather's house, but he is still young. His grandfather always winds up the old clock.

They continued to walk down, and below were the architectural designs of England, including drawings, models, and original buildings.

If Fu Yue was just fascinated just now, now that he came here, he was fascinated, bewitched, became a fairy, and it was unreal to step on the ground.

He loves this place, where there are wonderful inspirations in the world, colliding with ideas, innovations, beliefs, and strengths.

Fu Yue looked at an architectural model, with a chocolate-colored exterior wall, a gabled wooden sloping roof, oriel windows, a wide porch, a vast grassy area in the yard, and a puppy lying on the ground. The whole building is atmospheric and natural, a typical medieval European country style, However, the wavy floor of this building breaks through the tradition. It seems to float under the light, which adds a dynamic beauty to this static and stagnant building without depriving it of tranquility.The use of curves, colors and architectural arrangements has reached a new height, an unparalleled beauty.

He felt that Xu Zheng had come to him, and without looking away, he said, "It's such a great thing for an architect to know exactly what he wants and create it."

Xu Zheng didn't speak, he looked at Fu Yue quietly.

Fu Yue had light in his eyes, and he said: "There will be such a moment, and I will also create such a unique work that belongs only to me."

Xu Zheng didn't know if Fu Yue would be able to do it in the future, but at least at the moment, he was very sure, he believed in Fu Yue.

Believe he can do it.
