Originally, Cai Pengxi had already diverged, but he didn't know what to think, and went back around. Yu Yao secretly thought that this person was gentle and polite on the surface, but he actually had a lot of thoughts.

Tan Xinding went from Yu Yao to the blue-skinned Tang Baleng, to Cai Pengxi who said that Yu Yao's eyesight was extremely high, and it was right to see Yu Yao step by step. But Tan Xinding is extremely conceited about his eyesight in calligraphy and painting, and he is deaf and clear-sighted, and he is good at capturing details.

Yu Yao's comment is not that he doesn't dare to go deep enough, nor is it perfunctory in the face of unfamiliar people, but that there should be something hidden in the words! That is to say, on this handscroll, there should be something that everyone did not see, but Yu Yao did!

However, Tan Xinding doesn't believe it very much, the three masters can't see it, but you can?

Under the complicated psychology, he finally couldn't help but chase this sentence.

Yu Yao smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, my eyesight is limited, and I just haven't figured it out a little." ”

Yin Baorong and Tan Xinding were not very surprised, but Cai Pengxi was secretly surprised, Yu Yao said that he didn't understand, I'm afraid everyone won't understand!

Tan Xin fixed his words, and took it at this time, "Mr. Yu is too modest." However, although my eyesight is also limited, Boss Yin and Cai are old and must be able to guide the maze. ”

Cai Pengxi hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't point out." ”

Yin Baorong originally wanted to take a reply, saying that everyone would take a closer look, but when he saw Cai Pengxi like this, he swallowed it back again, and just looked at Yu Yao with a smile.

Yu Yao then said, "It's strange, why is this painting not recorded in "The Treasure of the Stone Canal"?"

"Shiqu Baoji" is a calligraphy and painting bibliographic document of the Qianlong and Jiaqing dynasties, and the content of the description is the collection of calligraphy and painting of the Qing Dynasty in the inner government. There are three parts in total, the first compilation was completed in the 10th year of Qianlong, the continuation was completed in the 58th year of Qianlong, and the third edition was completed in the 21st year of Jiaqing.

A total of about 8,000 paintings and calligraphy works have been recorded.

There are two sets of original manuscripts of "The Treasure of the Stone Canal", one in the Palace Museum and one in Taiwan.

Now it is also published, and it is a set of 40 volumes, which is not cheap, priced at 60,000 yuan, and the average enthusiast is afraid that he will not be willing to buy it.

However, even if you have seen "The Treasure of the Stone Canal" once or twice, it is unlikely that you will remember so many paintings and calligraphy collections. It was impossible for all four of them, including Yu Yao.

But Yu Yaoyi said that it was not included in "The Treasure of the Stone Canal", and the other three had no objection.

Because you can see it from this painting.

The description of "The Treasure of the Stone Canal" has a strict style, especially the vermilion seal. On this scroll, there is no "Shiqu Baoji", or "Shiqu Dingjian", "Baoji Recompilation", or "Baoji Three Editions". That is, it was not recorded in any of the first, sequel, and third editions of the Shiqu Baoji.

However, this painting has fallen on the "Treasure of Qianlong Preview", "Qianlong Appreciation", "Treasure of Jiaqing Imperial Tour", "Yi Sun Zi" these typical vermilion seals, with these few vermilion seals in the Qing Palace, there is no painting that has not been recorded in the "Shiqu Treasure".

In fact, they all know this problem. But because there is nothing wrong with the handscroll itself, it is a bit of an automatic filter of this problem.

From a common sense point of view, "The Treasure of the Stone Canal" was compiled by people after all, and it is unlikely that there are 100% omissions in this process. As long as there is no problem with the handscroll painting itself, the biggest possibility is that it was inadvertently omitted.

In fact, there have been omissions in the description of Shiqu Baoji.

For example, the famous four monks of the early Qing Dynasty: Hongren, Ji Cripple, Bada Shanren, and Shi Tao can all be called masters of the painting world, but when compiling the "Shiqu Baoji", it was stipulated that their works could not be recorded. Because the four of them are either descendants of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, or they are jointly opposed to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

But in the end, because of the wrong name or the compiler's carelessness, three works by the four monks were still included.

After Yu Yao finished speaking, Tan Xinding groaned, "I also know what you said, but this handscroll is fine in all aspects, so I didn't think about it." ”

Yin Baorong nodded slightly, "It's not impossible to make occasional omissions." ”

Yu Yao said, "From Qianlong to Jiaqing, there are all seals, and Qianlong also inscribed poems." Moreover, there is also Pu Yi's 'Treasure of Xuantong Yulan' on this painting, that is, until the death of the Qing Dynasty, it was collected in the Qing Palace. ”

"Do you mean that as far as this handscroll is concerned, it is impossible to make an omission? That is, although Qianlong liked this painting very much, for some special reason, it was not included in the "Shiqu Baoji"?" Cai Pengxi immediately asked.

Without waiting for Yu Yao to reply, Yin Baorong asked, "What's the reason for that?"

Yu Yao shook his head, "It's just because I can't think of it, so I feel strange." ”

Cai Pengxi was thoughtful.

Yin Baorong did not ask any more questions, "Mr. Yu's insight is not shallow, and his heart is as meticulous as a hair, and the question just now is indeed worth exploring! However, there have been a lot of mysteries in history, and sometimes it is impossible to have a result. Since everyone thinks it's genuine, I'm a man with a big heart, so I don't think about it anymore. ”

Tan Xinding echoed two sentences.

Subsequently, Yin Baorong put away the handscroll, and at the same time proposed to make Dong at noon and invite the four of them to have a light meal.

Tan Xinding was going to talk to him about business in the afternoon, and he would not refuse. But Cai Pengxi said that there was something, and Yu Yao directly said that he had made an appointment.

After leaving the Baorong Gallery, Yu Yao finally got into Cai Pengxi's car. Lao Man didn't follow Cai Pengxi, but parked nearby and waited in the car.

"Do you still have anything to say?" asked after the car started.

"There's something wrong with this painting. Yu Yao faced Cai Pengxi and did not have any reservations.

"Huh?"

Moreover, it is not only the problem that this painting has not been recorded in the "Treasure of the Stone Canal". I think that Qianlong's imperial inscription poems, individual strokes are a little unnatural, don't look at Qianlong's words are not very good, but the style is also unique. However, this point cannot be regarded as clear evidence, and I am not familiar with Boss Yin, so I can't mention it. ”

"So, there is a possibility of falsification?"

Yu Yao nodded, "If it is a forgery, it is impossible to stamp the relevant seals of Shiqu Baoji, because it can be found!, but Qian Weicheng has more than 100 paintings collected by the Qing Palace, if you don't add Qianlong's imperial inscription poems and some classic seals, it will not be considered a fine product of Qian Weicheng, and it will not be able to sell a high price." ”

"Which of the lesser of two evils?" Cai Pengxi interface, "Stamping the relevant seals of the Shiqu treasure will definitely be able to find out; without stamping, although there are places that cannot be explained, but just like Boss Yin said, the so-called historical mystery cannot be discovered." ”

"It could also be the real thing, it's a historical mystery. Yu Yao rubbed his temples:

"If it is fake, not to mention that it can be matched with the white jade carved dragon shaft head of the Qianlong Dynasty, as well as the old silk and mounting, just saying that this imitation painting imitates the level of writing, it is really too demonic! Qianlong's words can only be regarded as feelings, and nothing else can be seen at all!"
