Chapter 195: The Lost Female Historian

Putting on the mask given by Jenny, Zhang Nan put his head against the painting, and carefully looked at the detailed structure of the surface of the calligraphy and painting with a 30x magnifying glass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two girls didn't even dare to breathe next to them: Zhang Nan was already careful to the extent that he was afraid that the exhaled heat would damage the small painting in front of him.

After reading and sitting up straight, Zhang Nan dared to gasp for breath, he breathed twice in one minute just now!

The painting was rolled up again and placed in a sealed bag, along with the copies of the Yongle Canon.

"Alan, this painting?"

Zhang Nan smiled: "Let's talk about it when I go back, it's not good to take it out, and I haven't done anything yet." ”

It's a bit nonsensical, but he patted the plastic bag lightly and said to Nicole: "Put it away, the painting from more than a thousand years ago can't see the light." ”

It's not that you can't show up in public, it's that you can't see the light!

No new loose pages of the Yongle Dictionary were found on the garbage heap outside the car, but the construction workers found a huge scroll!

The Italians were also happy: the gang of black suits would apparently pay for these scrolls as well. But when Zhang Nan opened the large-size scroll, he was a little disappointed.

"Zhong Kui. "Others can't recognize what is painted on it, but Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan still know each other.

The painting is the eldest Zhong Kui, "The middle hall is painted to ward off evil spirits." ”

Zhang Nan looked at the payment, there didn't seem to be this person in his memory, but the size was huge, the painting was good, and Zhong Kui's beard alone was a little bit of a fine stroke.

Regardless of the artistry of this Zhong Kui, this painting time alone is not short!

Regardless of whether it is famous or not, this painting cannot be lost: since the calligraphy and painting is half a bucket of water, the painter who can't remember the sea has gone, and this Zhong Kui painting can't be thrown away, here is a bit particular.

Twenty minutes later, the pile of construction waste had been turned over, and nothing was found. The construction workers also stood honestly aside, not knowing how much money the gang would give.

"Ask them if anyone has ever picked up a scroll or a book like this here, and if so, give it to me, and the money will not disappoint them. ”

After the translation, a foreman said, "No one has taken it, and this thing is useless." It had been abandoned for several years, and it used to be a nursing home, so there was nothing good. ”

"A nursing home?"

The foreman didn't look like he was lying, and he couldn't lie.

That's really no more oil and water!

Jackson took two men to the three-story building to look around, and there wasn't even a possible chamber or anything - the walls were shoveled, revealing the bricks inside.

A total of seven workers, who did not use lira, simply gave Zhang 100 dollars each as hardship money.

It is said that the old Italian mafia generally does not take advantage of ordinary people, and Jackson and others have to learn a little bit and pretend to be like that.

Everyone was happy, and the worker made the $100 easily.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, it was already lunchtime, but I didn't go to the restaurant, but asked the waiter to bring it to the room.

"Jack, go to the antique shop I went to two days ago, it should have a sealed box for sale. If not, go to the supermarket and get a storage box back. ”

"What's the size?"

Zhang Nan pointed to the "Yongle Canon", "Just put down these books." ”

Instead of going himself, Jackson went to inform the armed drivers: they would either go on their own or ask the hotel staff to help.

Xiang Weirong, who went back to the room and washed his face, will also arrive at Zhang Nan's big suite: there is a big restaurant here, and everyone will eat here.

In the living room, Zhang Nanzhen was wearing gloves and a mask, carefully looking at the small calligraphy and painting on the table.

Guan Xingquan stepped aside, but he didn't look closer, his eyes were good, and he could see clearly from a little distance.

"Fan Ji Ganzhuang, don't eat fresh poultry. ”

Guan Xingquan looked at it and unconsciously read out the 8 small characters on the painting.

"Anan, what do you mean?"

As soon as I heard Guan Xingquan's painting, I looked up and saw that my brother-in-law was also looking at it on the other side.

Zhang Nan straightened up, took off his mask and said: "This is very likely to be part of the "Female History Scroll", which tells the story of Fan Ji during the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, in order to oppose the luxurious life of King Zhuang, who did not eat the fresh meat obtained by King Zhuang's hunting for three consecutive years. ”

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan didn't listen to this when they heard this, and they didn't know what "The Female Historian Picture Scroll" was!

But I also know that this gadget is definitely not simple: this time, Zhang Nan even put aside the "Yongle Canon" for the time being, and is admiring this small painting.

"Haven't heard of it?"

Seeing the reactions of the two, Zhang Nan couldn't help asking.

"We're not two monsters, you monsters know everything. ”

It was Xiang Weirong who spoke, but Zhang Nan didn't know everything, at least he didn't understand wood at all.

"Brother-in-law, anyway, we have found a treasure!

"The Female History" was written by Zhang Hua, the Marquis of Guangwu in the Western Jin Dynasty, which can be regarded as a textbook of etiquette, the content is about the moral conduct of women, and the purpose is to educate and admonish.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the great painter Gu Kaizhi depicted the stories in the text in the form of pictures, making them easy to understand.

The preserved early "Female Historian Atlas" now has two silk copies, one is now in the Palace Museum, and experts believe that it is a copy of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the other is older and can better reflect Gu Kaizhi's painting style and the original appearance of the "Female Historian", and experts believe that it may be a copy of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Ben's "Female Historian" was originally stored in the Qing Palace, and the Old Summer Palace was stolen to Britain by the British army, and is now in the British Museum in London, England.

This "Female History Atlas" should have 12 paragraphs, but due to its age, there are only 9 paragraphs left in the existing Tang Dynasty "Female History Atlas", missing "Fan Ji Ganzhuang" and "Wei Nu Jiaohuan".

As for the Southern Song Dynasty version in the Palace Museum, there are twelve paragraphs, which should actually be regarded as eleven small stories and a small section of the painting on the head of the entire scroll that has not yet been figured out. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the painting on the table and said: "This should be the "Fan Ji Ganzhuang" in the first paragraph of the entire album, followed by "Wei Nu Jiaohuan", "Feng Jieyu Blocking the Bear", "Ban Jieyu's Resignation", "Guarding against Micro Considerations", "Knowing His Sex", "Speaking Kindly", "Spiritual Prison Without Image", "Joy Can Not Be Desecrated", "Quiet Reflection" and "Female History Sizhen".

But the first one is gone, and this is cut. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up the scroll on the table, "You can't be wrong with silk, it's at least a thousand years old, and I've only seen such a material in a museum." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the scroll again, "Judging from the mounting process and materials, the last time it was mounted was definitely before the Ming Dynasty!"

The other two understood a little now, "This is the one that is missing from the volume in the Tang Dynasty?"

"I can't tell. It was possible that the British and French coalition forces were there at that time, and those copies of the "Yongle Canon" were also lost a lot at that time.

And the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was the same, that set of books was destroyed, snatched, and lost a lot, and the Eight-Nation Army occupied the capital and openly looted it, God knows where it came out. ”

When Xiang Weirong heard this, he burst out: "I may never understand how this thing came to Italy." ”

"If you don't understand it, you can't understand it, just have it in my hands. ”

That's when Jackson came back and took back a sealed box.

Put the scrolls and books in the sealed bag, and then pack them with a new towel.

Calling a few armed drivers, Zhang Nan directly gave a cash bonus of $5,000, which can be regarded as a thank you for their high-quality service in the past few days.

If there is no such thing as today, one person will give a maximum of 1,000 or not at all. But I'm in a good mood today, and the unexpected gains can be measured by money!

As for Jackson, let's wait until we get back to New York, and their winnings are indispensable for this trip. (To be continued.) )
