Chapter 372: Take scroll

After listening to Xiao Lao's words, several old men showed signs of constipation. It seems that there is a table full of Han Chinese banquets in front of you. As a result, there are a few blow flies in each dish. Can you see if you can eat it...

   If you want to name the painters of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Lingrong, the cousin of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, can definitely rank in the top ten. His paintings have not been passed down to modern times, but every one is a treasure.

Now there is a scroll of Zhao Lingrong’s autographs, and it’s still a long scroll. Let’s not talk about anything else. The 900-year history alone, even if the level of this painting is not high, it can even be said to be very poor. This painting is also called a national treasure.

   As the saying goes, "One page of the Song version is one or two gold." The Song version of the book has been handed down to the modern age as an extremely precious cultural relic, not to mention the rarer Song paintings?

   In modern times, every painting preserved from the Song Dynasty can be regarded as a national treasure. Therefore, although the painting level in front of this scroll is very average, it is also a painting that can be called a national treasure.

   Just for these old men, what they want is not only Song paintings, but also a perfect painting that can be passed down through the ages. There is a history of this painting, but this level...

   Yang Jing estimated that at this time the five elders were all complaining—you said that you were obviously Zhao Lingrong, and Zhao Lingrong, did you make such a delightful and hateful painting for Mao?

   Several old men looked at this painting quietly. The atmosphere was so strange that even Yang Jing couldn't stand it.

   Fortunately, Cai Yi broke the weird atmosphere with a loud voice.

   "Xiao Jing, how much did you spend to collect this volume?"

   "One..." Yang Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say 10,000 yuan, but immediately controlled the number behind.

   This painting was collected by him in Jinling in 1982 for 10,000 yuan, but this sentence can never be said. If you were to collect this painting in modern times, it would cost you 10,000 yuan at most to let you see it, and it would be impossible to collect it.

   "One million?" Cai Yi hesitated to catch Yang Jing's words, and Yang Jing could only nod in silence.

"Well, it's not expensive to collect such a painting for one million," Huang Lao said from the side, but Yang Jing could hear the deep resentment in Huang Lao's tone. Obviously, this man who loves calligraphy and painting. Everyone really can't stand this painting.

Lao Liu asked: "Xiao Jing, how did you spend so much money to collect this painting? Although you still have something to learn about calligraphy and painting, you should be able to see this painting based on your appraisal level. Level."

"Master, I just said that when I saw this volume, I felt that there was something wrong with this painting. My instinct told me that this painting is indeed authentic, but I always feel that this painting is true. The painting seems to be concealing something. Four masters, you should all know my intuition of being incomprehensible, yes, when I received this painting, it was my instinct that told me that this painting is not simple. That’s why I paid a million for it."

Huang Lao said: "Xiao Jing, although this painting was painted by Zhao Lingrong, there is nothing special about this painting. If there is anything special, it is that the level of this painting is really not worthy of it. Zhao Lingrong’s fame and level. If Lao Xiao hadn’t determined that this painting was by Zhao Lingrong for sure, I would have thought it was a fake.”

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Old Huang, it’s not the problem with this painting itself. The special feeling this painting gives me does not come from the painting itself, although I have not yet started following my second master’s system. Studying the knowledge of calligraphy and painting, but I also know that the level of this painting is very average. However, the reason why I still accepted this painting is because the strange feeling does not come from the painting itself, but from the painting itself. In other respects."

   Old Xiao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. He hesitated, then hesitated to point to the scroll at both ends of the scroll and asked: "Xiao Jing, do you think there is something wrong with the scroll in this painting?"

Yang Jing pretended to suddenly realize that he patted his thigh fiercely, "Oh, second master, you really mean it! To be honest, I only thought there was a problem with this painting before, but I couldn't tell where there was a problem, but I can say with certainty that it is definitely not the level of the painting itself, it is somewhere else. Second Master, when you said that just now, I know where the special feeling comes from. That’s right, it’s these two. Root drawing axis."

   Old Liu nodded and said, "Well, the axis of this painting is indeed a bit unusual. It's too thick. I have never seen such a thick axis."

  Guo Lao is a master of cultural preservation in the courtyard. He has seen more ancient things and handled more things. After all, those cultural relics and antiques with a long history need regular maintenance. This work is basically entrusted to a group of cultural preservation experts headed by Guo Lao.

"Hehe, I have never seen such a thick scroll. No wonder I thought this painting was a bit weird just now. It turns out that the root is here." Old Guo smiled and touched the scroll, "Yo, It's still made of red sandalwood. Judging from the materials used for this scroll, it is in line with Zhao Lingrong's identity. After all, he also has royal blood."

Cai Yi laughed and said: "This Zhao Lingrong is extraordinary. When Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty Huizong was the king of Duan, he had a very good relationship with him. Later, the history books said that after Zhao Ji became the emperor, Zhao Lingrong could go straight to the university for a while without notification. Inside."

   Old Guo knocked on the scroll and said, "It's hollow. I said, why do I think there is something hidden in the scroll?"

   Hearing what Guo Lao said, the eyes of the old men lit up again, and Yang Jing said simply, "Master San, or are you tired and take down these two scrolls and let's take a look?"

Although Mr. Huang was moved, he still said, "Xiao Jing, is this not so good? Although the level of this painting is very average, it is also a Song painting after all, and the preservation is pretty good. If the scroll is taken down, it can be It destroys the mounting. The heart of this painting can't stand the mounting again."

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Old Huang, I know what you mean. You are worried that taking off the scrolls will damage the painting. In fact, it doesn't matter. I always think there should be something hidden in these two scrolls, and the hidden things are unusual. If you don’t figure out whether there is something hidden in it today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep at night, right? Besides, we just take down the drawing axis without destroying the heart of the drawing, it’s okay."

   Yang Jing is the owner of this painting after all. Since he doesn't care, others can't say anything else.

   Not to mention, the five elders actually wanted to see if there was something hidden in the two scrolls. After all, such a thick scroll is really weird, and the painting was handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty. What can be hidden by Zhao Lingrong is definitely not ordinary.

  Guo Lao is an expert in cultural preservation, and he does things like drawing scrolls more neatly than Xiao Lao.

   "Then I took the scroll!" Guo Lao looked at some old friends, then looked at Yang Jing.

   Yang Jing nodded, and after asking Liu Lao, he ran into another house and took out a set of tools from the house. Lao Liu's villa doesn't seem to be occupied, but there is no shortage of people here.

   Guo Lao has been busy for more than 20 minutes before he took off the two scrolls. But I have to admire Guo Lao’s craftsmanship. Although taking the scroll will destroy the mounting of the calligraphy and painting, but in the hands of Guo Lao, the damage is minimized. If you don’t even look at it carefully, you will not be able to see the scroll of this painting. It has been taken down.

   After taking down the two scrolls, Mr. Guo squeezed the two scrolls separately, and said with certainty: "There is something inside this scrolling axis, and the weight is different. Which one shall we open first?"

   The eyes of several old people all looked at Yang Jing. Although Yang Jing is a junior, this painting belongs to him after all, and even his four masters can’t make the decision for him.

Yang Jing pointed to the heavier scroll and said, "Master, please open this scroll first. Since the scroll is heavy, it means there are more things hidden inside. Let’s take a look inside. What is it hiding?"

   Old Guo smiled and said, "Then I got the knife?"

   Several old men said at the same time: "You old Guo is anxious, don't worry when you should be anxious." After speaking, the old men all laughed.

   Scroll is a kind of material for the mounting of calligraphy and painting, also called spool head. In ancient painting scrolls, sandalwood was often used, sandalwood can release moisture, and has a fragrance when opening the gate, but also can release wormwood. However, sandalwood, especially red sandalwood, is heavier, so in ancient times, when drawing scrolls, the sandalwood was usually cut in the middle, then hollowed out and then merged together. In this way, a hollow scroll is completed.

   Although the scroll of this painting is made of red sandalwood ~www.readwn.com~ and it's thick and scary, it's actually not heavy, because the two scrolls are hollow.

   Guo Lao looked at the scrolls carefully, and then said with certainty: "This painting has not been passive since it was mounted. I am sure of this!"

After finishing talking, Mr. Guo slowly took off the scroll, and then found the cut marks on the scroll, and started prying gently with the tool. After a while, this very thick scroll was found. Was pryed into two halves.

   As soon as the scroll was broken open, the contents inside were completely revealed-a roll of things was wrapped with a layer of colorless silk.

   "This..." The old men glanced at each other, and they all saw the uncontrollable excitement in each other's eyes.

At this time, in fact, everyone knows that what can be hidden by Zhao Lingrong in the scroll is definitely a good thing, at least it is more precious than the one painted by Zhao Lingrong, or as far as Zhao Lingrong’s identity is concerned, it would not have been done. Waiting for the hiding thing to come.

   Cai Yi said, "Would you like to do some preparatory work? I don't know how many years this thing has been hidden in the scroll. Can I just open it like this?"

Guo Lao said: "The problem is not big. This scroll is not a tightly sealed scroll. The thing hidden inside has always been in contact with the outside air. Otherwise, the layer of silk wrapped outside would not be enough. Faded to this point."

   As he said, Old Guo carefully unwrapped the layer of silk from the outside, exposing the contents inside...

  PS: I would like to bow to thank you 100 for the "Taste of Summer That Year" and "The Flowers Are Not Blooming" at that time.
