Chapter 103 Deception?
When Li Lao heard Dong Lao's words, he knew that he couldn't be targeted, so he wiped his hands with a tissue, and then touched it again, this time he touched it very carefully, for fear of missing something critical.
I just touched it casually before, so I didn't notice it, but this time it's different, the difference between the heart and the heart is bigger than the heartless.
After only touching it twice, Li Lao's brows furrowed slightly, and then he touched it again, and after a while, he smiled: "This is a typical gold leaf in the word, but this thing is very delicately framed, ordinary people, it is impossible to see without decades of effort, I am still blind because of my eyes, so these hands are so keen, Xiao Zhang, you are honest, how do you see this thing?"
Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "I don't hide it from Li Lao, in fact, I have investigated the treasure owner, in the Republic of China, it was definitely a prominent family, there are many collections in the family, and his grandfather likes to collect calligraphy and painting the most." Later, when the catastrophe happened, most of the things in their house were confiscated, and not much was left, but as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, I didn't believe that people who had played calligraphy and painting all their lives would take a print as if it were real, so I bought it with the attitude of trying. ”
These words are reasonable and well-founded, no one can refute them, even Zhang Tianyuan himself feels as if he has really done this, in fact, where is it, it is not a secret discovered by relying on the six-character truth, but it is impossible for him to tell Li Lao what the six-character truth, the secret technique of treasure appreciation, if he really wants to say it, he will be sent to a mental hospital the next day.
"I see, your kid's luck is really good, even if there is nothing on that layer of gold leaf, it is not a loss, if there is really Wang Xizhi's real work, then you will make a lot of money." Li Lao said with emotion.
"Hey, hey. Zhang Tianyuan smirked twice, but did not speak, he was afraid that if he said too much, he would be exposed.
Or Dong Lao smiled: "This can't be said to be luck, others are not as smart as him, and they also went to investigate the life experience of the treasure master, which is called taking the lead, and it is not the skill of appreciating the treasure, but the brain." ”
"Dong Lao has a good reputation, and when I came today, I hope Dong Lao will help me take out the gold leaf in this word, so that it can see the light of day again. Zhang Tianyuan said respectfully.
"No problem, the old man has always been very interested in the baby, and today I will solve the mystery in this word for you. Dong Lao rolled up his sleeves, and then shouted to the inner room: "Old woman, bring me a basin of water!"
Not long after, an old lady came out of the back room, it should be Dong Lao's wife, she looks very quiet, although she is old, but she is not ugly, I think I must have thought it was a beauty when I was young.
"Hello Auntie!" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
"Hey, you are the Xiao Zhang that Lao Dong said, yes, he looks very energetic, don't be polite when you come to the house, just treat it as your own home, you are busy, my wife will not bother." Dong Lao's wife smiled, put down the water and went back.
"What Korean dramas does the old woman like to watch all day long, alas, I can't control it, I can't control it. Dong Lao watched his wife enter the house and sighed.
Zhang Tianyuan couldn't talk, so he could only smile, this is the matter of the older generation, he really can't say anything, otherwise he will offend people.
"Okay Lao Dong, don't be verbose, hurry up and take out your precious tools, I'm waiting to appreciate what is on the gold leaf in this word." "Elder Li urged.
"What are you urging, it's not Braille, can you touch it?" Dong Lao said.
If ordinary people said this, Li Lao would definitely be angry, but it was obvious that these two old men had a very good relationship before, a bit like Xu Gang and Zhang Tianyuan, so he didn't feel anything when he said this.
"It's not Braille, my hand can even touch the ink. ”
"Okay, okay, you're good. Dong Lao shook his head and smiled: "This old thing is really a loss." ”
He turned his head and said to Zhang Tianyuan: "You bring the basin with me, I have a special room for framing calligraphy and paintings, everything in it is complete, old things, you don't need to be helped, right?"
"No, in your shabby place, I can find a framed house and a stone-cut house with my eyes closed. Li Lao stood up and said.
Dong Lao smiled, took the words out of the hall, and walked to a room in the backyard, Zhang Tianyuan followed behind.
At this time, the little god Luo actually flew out and landed on Li Lao's shoulder, like that, he actually wanted to be an "eye" for Li Lao.
"Oh, what kind of little thing is this, so psychic?" asked Li Lao happily.
"Oh, that's a little eaglet I raised, and it's quite psychic. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Are you interested in selling it to the old man, the price is negotiable. "Li Lao is obviously in love with Shenluo, a blind man like him really likes this kind of psychic little animal.
"Don't think about the old thing, I know that you think that eagle is worth a few thousand dollars, you have miscalculated. I had a phone call with Tu Lao from Nandu before, and he told me that someone had bid 200 million for this eagle, but Xiao Zhang didn't sell it. Dong Lao walked in front and quipped.
"200 million is a joke, but 20 million is indeed willing to be paid. Zhang Tianyuan explained.
"It's 20 million, then Old Man Li can't take it out, don't look at him rich, but 20 million is not a small amount. Buy an eagle, and his family will have to scold him to death. Dong Lao said with a smile.
Li Lao was silent and didn't speak, because Dong Lao was right this time, although he was worth hundreds of millions, but let him take out 20 million at a time to buy an eagle, he really couldn't help it, even if he was willing, his family would not agree.
The three of them walked to the framing room, and Zhang Tianyuan immediately saw the various furnishings here, and it was immediately refreshing.
He had never seen someone else frame calligraphy and painting before, and this was the first time he had entered a place like a framing house Dong Lao introduced to him: "Generally know how to paint, how much know how to mount the skills, but there are not many people as professional as the old man, and he is not afraid of your jokes. ”
"I think Dong Lao, you have suffered setbacks, but it has given you more advantages than others, you see that the few apprentices you have accepted are now well-known figures in various industries, stone cutting, framing, calligraphy and painting. Zhang Tianyuan praised.
"Don't slap the old man's ass. If I had to choose, I would rather be a pure connoisseur. Dong Lao smiled and pointed to the things in the room and introduced: "Earn the board, used to paste flat, dry the painting heart, mounting pieces and various mounting materials, the drying rod is used to dry the processed compound paper, colored paper and various materials, although these things have not been used for a long time, but I have been maintaining them, so I can use them at any time." ”
"There is a copy table, a row of pens, brown brushes, a ruler and a cutting board, as well as a stone, also known as a grinding stone, which is used for calendering and smoothing the back of the mounting, if you don't understand, it doesn't matter, as long as you are not engaged in calligraphy and painting, it generally has nothing to do with the person who frames it. ”
"Hmph, I don't think so, even if it's a collection, the past framing is rotten, you have to change, otherwise it hurts the calligraphy and painting, then it's not cost-effective, Xiao Zhang, don't listen to Lao Dong, check the information after you go back, and make up for this knowledge, you are still young, and it doesn't hurt to learn more." Li Lao seemed to have to fight against Dong Lao, and said with a cold snort.
Zhang Tianyuan could only laugh, he couldn't offend the two old men, so he could only smirk.
Dong Lao smiled, but didn't say anything, probably thinking that what Li Lao said was right, anyway, Zhang Tianyuan found out that Dong Lao let Li Lao in many things, which is also a tacit understanding formed over the years.
Dong Lao spread the character on the copy table, and then began to observe carefully, he needed to determine first, how big the gold leaf in the character was, where it was located, and it would be more convenient to do it later.
The copy table is made of glass top, with built-in LEDs, and on top of the copy table, there is also a fluorescent lamp, which is used to uncover the broken old paintings, and there must be a strong light to avoid the slightest carelessness and damage to the old paintings.
Dong Lao's copy table should be a special Chinese painting restoration copy table, which has the advantages of a small LED copy table, and at the same time combines the characteristics of the painting and calligraphy itself with a relatively large area, and a tailor-made large copy table.
Actually, this thing has a wide range of paths, not only to repair calligraphy and paintings, but also to draw comics, gongbi paintings, etc., you can do it on it.
After observing for a while, Dong Lao nodded, as if he had determined the approximate location and size of the gold leaf, so he took out a bottle of liquid potion from the cabinet next to him and poured it into the basin.
The main purpose of this potion is to corrode away the layer of mixed material on top without damaging the gold leaf inside.
Of course, if it is a word in a word or a picture in a picture, then I don't dare to do this, because the general words and paintings are made of rice paper, and even the potion that can corrode mixed materials, rice paper will definitely not be able to escape, but this time I encountered the gold leaf in the word, so there is no worry about this, Dong Lao can rest assured and boldly put the word directly into the water, slowly pull it apart, so that the whole word is soaked in, and then put it on the copy table again.
At this time, even if you don't need to see through, you can clearly see the traces of gold leaf in the letter, which is the magic of the potion.
Dong Lao used a thin blade to lightly scratch the edge, and then his hand was removed, and the layer of plastic film on it was removed, but the gold foil still did not appear, because under the plastic film, there was a layer of paper that was very well camouflaged.
Dong Lao did not stop, once again put the painting into the basin and did it again, this time, finally uncovered the layer of paper, revealing the gold leaf underneath.
Hey?
"No, it's not gold leaf at all, it's just gold dust on the paper, what's the matter? And there's no word. Dong Lao was a little dumbfounded.
Zhang Tianyuan was also a little dumbfounded.
"Xiao Zhang, I'm afraid you really have to fall on your head this time, this thing is simply a trap carefully arranged, which is to make you mistakenly think that there is gold leaf in the word, after all, many techniques can see the golden one inside, in this way, you will think that there is a treasure inside, so you will be deceived!" Dong Lao sighed and said.
Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head firmly and said, "Impossible, I trust my own judgment!"
