Chapter 124: Picture-in-Picture

Lotte smoked a cigarette, and also put on an unstoppable attitude, "What are you betting on, just now Mr. Bi said that he is millions a minute, and it seems that he is a person who makes a big deal, if this painting is worth more than 100 million, how about you buy it and give it to me?" ”

"Oh, interesting." Bi Chao returned to his seat and sat down, also took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, looked at the painting and said: "It's more than 100 million yuan for this broken thing, are you brain-dead, or am I dazzled?" I don't know what you think? ”

"Do you dare to bet?" Lotte and Bi Chao went toe-to-toe, the two sides did not give in to each other, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely weird.

"Okay, if it's not more than 100 million, what do you lose!" Bi Chao took a puff of cigarette and added: "Say it in advance, I'm not interested in any life, hands or anything!" ”

"You can say whatever you want, I'm willing to do anything if I lose."

Seeing that the two of them had intensified to this extent, Boss Qian was the most embarrassed, and he hurriedly played a round and said: "Don't make trouble Lotte, or it will end here today, I won't dismantle this painting!" ”

The two old men were very embarrassed, they didn't know how to answer at the moment, Zhang Yunfang was also secretly pulling Lotte, signaling him not to worry too much, but Lotte Niu's temper came up and was used to whom!

"No, if this painting doesn't come out today, I feel uncomfortable, since Boss Bi has gambled, you should be a witness!"

"Rakuten!" An old and emphasised reminder.

"Arrogant, okay, you lost, this painting is not worth 100 million, you strip naked and walk me from here to the front door, one meter less for me to walk again, damn, I have never seen you such an eyeless mountain cannon!"

"It's a deal!" Lotte stood up, directly spread out the scroll, and said to Cao Lao: "Demolish, please pay double as much as you want!" ”

Cao Lao was speechless, looking at the calligraphy and painting in front of him, he sighed weakly: "Lotte, this painting is still worth a little money if it is framed, and if it is demolished, it will really be worthless!" ”

The old puzzled asked: "What about Lotte, why do you have to tear down this painting, don't sell it, tell me what you think!" ”

Lotte looked at the unruly Bi Chao Bi Zong, and muttered at the corner of his mouth: "Now that I say it, I'm afraid that someone will pay the bill!" ”

"I'm in debt, I'm ...... Oh, I'll go, who in the whole capital doesn't know that I Bi Chao is a big word, I will pay the debt with you a hairy child, don't listen to his nonsense, he is just a half-eyed dumbfounded, he doesn't know how to pretend to be big, and go! ”

Bi Chao was really angry, and he got up again and was about to leave, Boss Qian hurriedly pulled the round, and at this time, Cao Lao suddenly said:

"Wait!"

The atmosphere in the private room was instantly quiet, everyone looked at Cao Lao, only to see him walking to the window with calligraphy and painting, facing the sunlight for a good moment to identify, and then put down the calligraphy and painting with emotion, and took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe every small detail.

Bi Chao walked back suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "Old Cao, what are you looking at?" ”

"Don't make any noise." Cao Lao looked very seriously, as if he had really seen a peerless treasure.

Gu Gu didn't understand it very much, and explained: "I have seen this painting, the Republic of China imitates the fake painting of the Song Dynasty, and imitates the painting method of Song Huizong, but it is empty and has no artistic value at all." ”

"You're just looking at the surface, obviously it's no longer the appearance." Cao Lao is a famous calligrapher and painter, the framing skills have been passed down from generation to generation, just after the insistence of Lotte, Cao Lao only solemnly looked at it, but more and more frightened.

"This, this can't be!"

"What's wrong?" All three asked questions at the same time.

Cao Lao raised his head, looked at Lotte with excitement on his face and asked, "Lotte, how did you see it?" ”

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm afraid that someone will scold me for loading 13."

"What the hell is going on, you say!" The old interest was aroused, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is anxious at the moment.

However, Lotte still smiled and said nothing, resolutely not saying what was going on.

There was no trick, Gu Gu had to change the topic and asked tentatively: "Lao Cao, don't choke, hurry up." ”

Cao Lao put down the magnifying glass and said with a look of surprise: "I don't see the origin of this painting, but this framing technique is actually lost, and the line concealment method!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience exploded, that's right, the audience is an expert, and everyone knows the origin of the line concealment method.

Far away, let's talk about modern history, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, wars, the people were not happy, some rich and powerful aristocrats, all of the valuable things, with special methods to hide and cover, as mentioned earlier.

But nowadays, it seems that the craftsmanship of the line concealment method has been lost, and everyone only hears its name but does not see it, but then again, if you find something hidden by the thread concealment method, the secrets of which are all priceless national treasures, it is not too much to say that it is worth more than 100 million.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the line concealment method of this painting, if you give Cao Lao a period of research, he will be happy to let him pay any amount of money!

"Old Cao, are you mistaken?" Knowing that things were not good, Bi Chao hurriedly asked.

"I hope I'm wrong, but it's really a long-lost line concealment method, absolutely right." Cao Lao looked at Lotte excitedly and said:

"What about Lotte, can I take this painting home and study it for a few days, don't worry, when I study it, I will definitely send you the real work!"

"No!" Lotte directly refused, "I'm going to find out today!" Otherwise, I will always let the mountain cannon be the same kind, and I am unhappy! ”

"You ......" Hearing Lotte's taunt, Bi Chao pointed at Lotte and was about to scold, but Lotte was not used to him, so he glanced over coldly and asked, "Isn't it?" Are you embarrassed to say that others are half-open? ”

Bi Chao was choked and speechless, looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the table angrily, and then remembered something and said: "Demolish, dismantle now, I don't believe it, even if it is a line concealment method, this broken painting is not necessarily valuable!" ”

I heard that it was a line concealment method, and Gu Gu also took out a magnifying glass and looked at it, but he didn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously:

"What about Lotte, what kind of painting is hidden under this painting? Why can't I read the calendar? ”

Lotte smiled slightly and was about to explain, but Cao Lao said: "The secret in this painting is very likely to hide the true handiwork of Song Huizong. ”

"Song ...... Song Huizong! Bi Chao was even more dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he hurriedly came to the front of the painting to identify it carefully, but he really didn't dare to compliment this painting, so he had to ask for help:

"Old Cao, how did you see it, you can't talk nonsense!"

Cao Lao glared at Bi Chao, "Mr. Bi has a great business, you can afford 100 million." ”

After speaking, he turned his head, and his eyes became hot, "What about Lotte, discuss it with you, you can let me study it for a few more days before dismantling it!" I really want to study this line concealment method! ”

Lotte was angry, and he would not get used to Cao Lao at all, and said sharply:

"Don't say it, don't blame me, I'll tear it down now, or I'll find someone else."

"Don't!" Cao Lao's hands began to tremble, "I'll demolish it, I'll demolish it!" After speaking, he sighed heavily, glanced at Bi Chao, pointed at the bridge of his nose and said, "You, you, what a delay!" ”

That's right, Cao Lao did complain about Bi Chao, if it weren't for his plan, Lotte wouldn't be so tough, no way, who let him catch up!

Cao Lao picked up the scroll and said, "Everyone, it will take a lot of effort to disassemble this line of hidden methods, please give me a little time." ”

After Cao Lao said this, he took the painting to another private room, and the room was instantly quiet, everyone sat at the coffee table and didn't speak, but after a while, Boss Qian couldn't help it, he kept pacing back and forth in the room.

Bi Chao lowered his head and smoked cigarettes one by one, he was no longer unruly at the moment, and he didn't want to know what he was thinking about Lotte in his heart.

Gu Gu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, but finally he couldn't hold back, opened his eyes and said tentatively:

"In my memory, there is no record of this painting in the "Xuanhe Painting", if this painting is the authentic work of Song Huizong, Lotte are you judging from He?"

Lotte smiled and said, "There are a few points, I don't know if the ancient has noticed." ”

"Tell me?" The people in the private room were instantly interested, and everyone sat down and prepared to listen to Rakuten's story.

"First, this painting is deliberately imitating Song Huizong's notes and copying, but, throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong's painting skills climaxed, I naturally don't have to say that basically no one in the Yuan and Qing dynasties can do it."

"And this painting is not a copy of the famous painting of Song Huizong, everyone has also seen the painting, the style of painting reflects the wind, snow and bitter cold place, I speculate that this painting is not in the Xuanhe period, but Song Huizong in Jingkang after the change, was taken away to the bitter cold land in the northeast, after suffering humiliation of the painting."

"Second, the Shuanglong small seal, in the surface painting, the author deliberately forged the Shuanglong small seal of Song Huizong in order to hide all the details, but this seal is too fake at a glance, because the color is too thick, and it is too large, there is no style of the double dragon small seal at all, do you know why?"

Gu and the others shook their heads again and again to say that they didn't know, but only Bi Chao didn't shake his head, and listened pretending not to care.

"Because the line concealment method to cover the real handwriting, but the painter does not have such a strong skill, can not do the coverage after the score is not bad, everyone imagine, a fake painting to cover the real painting, superimposed together can not overlap in place, so that you can recognize it at a glance against the light, which loses the meaning of the line concealment method, so, the surface of the painting does not care how fake it is, just care whether it can be perfectly covered, so, this double dragon small seal is too large and dark, its meaning is to cover the real seal."

"Finally, that's where the painting is most suspicious." Lotte began to ponder after speaking, "The weight of this painting seems to be a bit excessive, everyone knows that rice paper is very light and thin, and there is no problem with covering oil paintings at will, but a little bit of Chinese painting is thick and heavy, which may lead to damage, why the heavy feeling of framing material is excessive, I suspect that it is to increase the anti-corrosion effect, so the weight is different." ”

"Oh, I see, that's how it is." Gu said thoughtfully: "When I first picked up this painting, I also felt that the weight was wrong, but I didn't think so deeply, Happy, you are still young and promising!" ”

"Forget it!" Lotte turned his words around and said: "I'm young and promising, I'm just a half-eyed second goods!" ”
