Chapter 380: The Emperor's Complete Map (Medium)

However, how could such a mysterious giant picture appear here, if it was imitated, then the person who imitated it not only knew that there was such a picture, but also should have seen it!

Wu Chen gently rubbed his temples, under the cover of his arm, his eyes quickly scanned, and a layer of yellow light emerged, the age is right, it seems that this "The Complete Map of the Emperor" is very likely to be Zhou Peigong's real work!

"Are you alright?!" Kong Si was a little worried when he saw him holding his head with his hands.

"It's fine!" Wu Chen closed his eyes, raised his head and took a few long breaths, making his beating heart calm down a little, but in the eyes of the middle-aged man, he thought that he was a little unwell, and stared at him with blank eyes, which seemed a little more concerned than Kong Si.

When Kong Si saw his appearance, he also slowly put the picture away, put it on the table, and left a large section empty.

"This big brother, may I ask your surname?" Wu Chen slowed down and asked an unbelievable question, which directly made Kong Si and the middle-aged man a little petrified.

"Hehe, my surname is Zhou." Although the middle-aged man didn't know how he asked about this, he still answered honestly.

"Oh, Brother Zhou, can I ask, where did you get this picture?" Wu Chen nodded, this is a bit reliable, such a huge map, not only is it difficult to draw, but it is even more difficult to preserve.

"Passed down from our ancestors!" The middle-aged man smiled and gave a standard answer.

"Come on! Everyone says that they are handed down from their ancestors, so can't they be a little fresh? Kong Si directly gave him a roll of the eyes, they are all mixed up, who doesn't know who.

"This is really handed down from my ancestors!" The middle-aged man estimated that he had been questioned a lot, and shook his head with a wry smile, and he didn't rush with them.

"Then tell me how it all came down?" Kong Sida didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, although this painting looks good, but the Qingming mountains and rivers are now full of streets, and there are also some that can be seen.

"This ...... I also got it from my fourth uncle......" The middle-aged man also knows the importance of orderly inheritance, but he only got this painting after his fourth uncle died, and he doesn't know whether it is true or not.

Kong Si directly gave him an evil "hehe".

In fact, he blamed this middle-aged man by mistake, speaking up, the people of the Zhou family are really Zhou Peigong, when Zhou Peigong died in the northeast depressed, there is a descendant who is not angry with the emperor's thin feelings, packed up the soft, fled to another country, and took away the things, including the original manuscript of this "The Emperor's Map", and Zhou Peigong dedicated to Emperor Kangxi, but he revised the draft again at the last moment, which deleted a lot of prohibitions, speaking of which, the original manuscript that was taken away is first-hand information.

Later, the descendants of this branch traveled to many places, first in Henan incognito, living in other places, to the Republic of China, when the lives were devastated, they returned to the hometown of Jingmen, Hubei, and the middle-aged people were to the border of Jiangzhou, and lived in seclusion in the remote mountainous areas, until the establishment of the Celestial Empire, they were included in the local commune.

Because of the long-term living alone, this picture can be preserved, to the great turbulent years, has been included in the commune of the Zhou family, because the composition is unknown, plus according to legend there are good antiques in the family, it has also been cleaned up, this painting has been circulated, and later returned to their Zhou family, a widowed fourth uncle, until he died, was obtained by this middle-aged man.

Of course, he didn't know about these, Wu Chen and Kong Si had no way of knowing, and in history, he didn't know how many rare treasures were blown away like this, and those that could really be inherited in an orderly manner were no other way than "in the book", if there was no written record, even if it was a scattered historical material, as long as it could be verified, it was easy to dissipate in the long stream of history by simply relying on word of mouth.

There are many such things, so although Wu Chen saw that the middle-aged man couldn't say how to inherit it, he believed it a little in his heart, and of course, the most important thing is: this picture is a real old object!

"Brother Zhou, don't you want someone to help you identify this?" What Wu Chen was puzzled about was that since this middle-aged man intended to sell, he would definitely not be the only one waiting here today, and before that, why didn't anyone take it away?

"Hehe, don't mention it, what a bullshit expert!"

Wu Chen didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, the middle-aged man was angry and couldn't help complaining.

He is not a person who eats the ancients, since he has done this business, he will naturally pay attention to some related programs, watch too much, and also want to find some experts to help him take a look, whether this is worth anything, but he also knows that most of the so-called experts are unreliable, and he does not dare to show them easily.

Until one time, he saw the audition announcement of a famous treasure appreciation column, so he went to the audition site in a hurry, and the first round was brushed down, and the expert in charge of on-site identification in the expert group directly told him that this is now old, and he almost vomited blood at that time, although he didn't know how it was handed down, he knew that the painting was at least older than himself.

When he went to theorize, the expert didn't cover it, and directly pointed out several mistakes! The most fatal thing is that there is a problem with the material of the painting itself, and the traces of aging in the section are obvious! In the end, the expert didn't know whether it was intentional or not, or he offered him a price, for the sake of good imitation, 10,000 yuan could be transferred to him.

10,000 yuan! At that time, the middle-aged man came back angrily, but after this incident, he was not so interested in this painting, and he took up space, so he usually didn't put it out, if it wasn't for seeing Wu Chen today and they looked like a big buyer, I don't know how long it would be put under the stage.

I see! Wu Chen nodded, no wonder this middle-aged man insisted that this was a family heirloom, but he casually put it here. However, he also noticed that the middle-aged man just talked about the cross-section, which refers to the cropped flat mouth, could it be that this painting has been cut?

He hurriedly motioned to Kong Si to help, and the two of them spread out a little more, and carefully examined them along the two sidelines!

When the middle-aged man sees them, he just wants to give himself two big mouths! I blame myself for leaking my mouth just now, but it's better now, maybe the business is going to be yellow.

"Hey, it's a little wrong, wood, come and see." Kong Si quickly discovered on that side that the original picture was not complete, but had been cut, that is, it was a broken painting!

Moreover, at the cutting opening, you can clearly see that the color of this thick painting paper is not quite the same! The front and back exposed layer is obviously much deeper, which is an obvious method of distressing, that is, through various dips, the paper is first aged to show this yellow-brown, but because of the short time, this method can not make the inside of the paper also be fully impregnated, resulting in uneven color.

Damn, after a long time, it turned out to be an old painting!
