"It's a pity that such a perfect wooden box actually cracked......

Zhong Haoqing gently touched the gap, then sighed lightly, pressed the wooden board next to the gap with his fingers, and then pressed it gently, and then frowned and touched his chin and pondered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hehe, it's hundreds of years old, what is a crack? Not to mention it's still in the box. ”

Hu Jinquan didn't pay attention to it at all, but Li Yi also sighed lightly.

He had cut a crack, but there was a flaw in it.

If you don't open the mezzanine, you can't see the edge of the thin board, and naturally no one will find that it is actually deliberately opened, but if you want to open the board, you will find that the crack is actually new, because if it is old, the edge of the board will not behave the same.

So after he sighed lightly, he said with a little annoyance:

"There was no such gap when the box first arrived, it must have been made by the airline during the transportation process, but there was no way to find them to ...... theory."

"Huh? How can there be no theory? Such a national treasure-level cultural relic, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, so why do you have to give us an explanation? ”

Hu Jinquan couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard that this crack was actually new, but he didn't expect Zhong Haoqing to say:

"Lao Hu, don't worry, maybe we'll have to thank the airlines later!"

"What do you mean?"

"Come, you press this place, how do you feel?"

Hu Jinquan pressed the place Zhong Haoqing said with a confused face, then frowned and muttered:

"Shouldn't it? Even if it's lined with wood, it shouldn't feel like this...... Could it be that there is a mezzanine? ”

"There should be a mezzanine."

Zhong Haoqing pulled Hu Jinquan away, and kept pressing several different places on the wooden board,

"You see, these places all feel like they are sinking, but the planks here are not upturned and deformed, that is, there is a certain gap under the plank. However, if it is a liner, there will be no gaps at all......"

She looked at Li Yi as she spoke, even if she suspected that there would be a mezzanine here, but this was speculation after all, and no one could say what was going on. And whether to open it, how to open it, it depends on Li Yi's meaning, because after all, this is his thing, and it is so precious, although they are masters, it is not easy to make ideas for him.

"It does seem like there's a problem."

Li Yi pressed not only the wooden board at the edge of the gap, but also the other places. Immediately, he found that with a little effort, even the center of the plank could faintly feel a little sagging.

However, this amplitude is very slight, and it is easy to misunderstand it as the sinking of the abdominal muscles, and this wooden box is so precious and has existed for so many years, how dare ordinary people press it with dead force? If you press a hole, you will pay for it?

"Uncover it, uncover it a little first!"

Li Yi pretended to inspect the surface of the lid of the box, then glanced at the two masters and made up his mind.

"Well, just warp up a little bit along the gap, and if you don't find anything, forget it."

Zhong Haoqing took out a fruit knife from the kitchen and handed it to Li Yi.

"Be careful, don't break the piece on the side, don't borrow its strength."

Li Yi nodded, knowing that the master was talking about the wooden strip that was folded at a vertical angle on the edge of the lid of the box, so he carefully inserted the knife along the gap.

"Master, you see, there is at least a centimeter in it, but the surface of the lid of the box has not been pierced, and the tip of the knife has clearly felt the resistance......

This wooden box is very thin, the thickness of each board is less than a centimeter, and now the tip of the knife can actually be inserted into it by one centimeter, which is enough to prove that there is a problem, Zhong Haoqing couldn't help but get excited.

"You wait a minute, I'll bring the camera and you can pry it again, maybe you can find some shocking big secrets this time!"

"Well, take a picture, this kind of box is originally a royal thing, and it is so hidden, it must be a super good baby! Wife, you've worked hard, you sit, I'll record it! ”

Hu Jinquan was also very excited, grabbed Zhong Haoqing, who wanted to get the camera, ran into the study upside down, and after a while, walked out with a camera.

"Let's get started."

Because I was afraid of damaging the edge of the lid, I didn't dare to pry it hard, and in order not to let people find the interlayer, the thickness of the lining board was actually not very thin, so I had to use a knife to cut it little by little. However, when the first piece of wood was cut off, Zhong Haoqing was also completely sure, even if there was no interlayer, at least it could prove that the lid of the box was lined with a liner, so that even if nothing was uncovered, the box would not be destroyed, so what else was there to worry about?

The gap is very narrow and shallow, and the liner is a bit thick, so it should be difficult for the average person to cut a gap that is enough to see the inside. But who is Li Yi? Li Yi is a guy who can directly carve by hand with hardwood, which is not difficult for him at all!

It's just that the fruit knife is really not sharp, so he asked Gu Feng to run and get his set of carving tools from the car, so that the progress will be faster.

"Stop!"

Li Yi had just cut out another piece of wood, Zhong Haoqing suddenly stopped him, and then, the old lady took a magnifying glass and stared at the slightly widened gap carefully for a while, and handed the magnifying glass to Li Yi with an excited face.

"Look, isn't it paper down there?"

"What? See the paper? Let me see! ”

After Li Yi finished reading it, Hu Jinquan snatched the magnifying glass, and then waved his fist excitedly, there was really something underneath!

I made sure that there was something, but it was not easy to do, because if I cut it like this, it would probably be a piece of the things inside, but I couldn't destroy the wooden box, and several people frowned and made it difficult.

"What a stupid! Now that you're sure there's a mezzanine, why don't you just draw a circle along the edge and take the whole plank off? ”

After a while, Hu Jinquan slapped his face and came up with a solution, and then Li Yi and Zhong Haoqing also suddenly realized that they were so nervous that they even forgot such a simple method......

The whole piece of wood is much easier to do than to cut the wooden board, I saw Li Yi stuck the length of the tip of the knife, one side of the knife, and then gently pried, one side of the lining board was convex, and then he did the same on the other sides, and soon pry the lining board as a whole.

The moment the wooden board was taken down, several people held their breath, and then, Zhong Haoqing, who looked incredulous, took out a thick stack of silk paper from the mezzanine.

“1，2，3…… 6 pieces, so much hidden! ”

Zhong Haoqing lifted the corners of the drawing paper, counted them one by one, and then gasped, this is really incredible, they actually found such a big secret in a wooden box!

"This one seems to be Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Tour"? It's not too impossible, is it? ”

Zhong Haoqing was counting, and Hu Jinquan was staring at the work on his face, and when the work was taken out just now, he had already handed over this arduous task to Li Yi.

Li Yi was also a little excited, although he had long known what was hidden, although he could see through, but the feeling of really taking it out was completely different.

"There is nothing impossible, there is no problem with the Ming Dynasty royal collection of a work by Zhan Ziqian."

Zhong Haoqing carefully looked at the work on the colored silk on his face, and then said with a little worry:

"With so many works pressed together for hundreds of years, can't they all stick together? Lao Hu, you come to uncover it. ”

"Good!"

Hu Jinquan looked cautious, carefully inspected the two works on the surface and at the bottom, and then exhaled a long breath of turbidity.

"It's okay, these paintings have been processed by masters, and they shouldn't be glued together, but you still have to prepare them first, you guys will wait a while."

After saying that, he got up and ran into the study, and his movements were agile, not like an old man at all.

After a while, he returned to the living room with a brush in one hand and a basin in the other.

"Help me turn the painting over and face up."

When he was busy just now, Zhong Haoqing and Li Yi also checked these works, although they were not glued together as a whole, but each painting had a few places that were stuck with other paintings, and I don't know if it had any impact on the paintings.

Hearing Hu Jinquan's instructions, Li Yi and Zhong Haoqing cooperated to turn the painting over, and then saw Hu Jinquan pick up a brush, dip a little of the solution in the basin, and quickly brush the back of the last work. After waiting for a while, the old man carefully took off the work alone, and after taking a look, he said with a smile:

"It's worthy of royal craftsmanship, after so many years, there is no problem at all."

This work is Ni Zhan's "Autumn Colors on the River", which is a landscape painting with color on paper, and the work on it is also a work on paper. When is the bright moon?

Ni Zhan, Su Shi, Shen Zhou, Wu Zhen, Wei Xian, Zhan Ziqian......

Soon, the six paintings were separated one by one, fortunately, except for Wu Zhen's "Bamboo and Stone Picture" because it was too tightly glued to the previous one, and there was a place where the thumb was a big belly was a little discolored, the other paintings were intact, which had to make Li Yi admire the wisdom of the ancients.

Just like when Li Yi first learned this secret, Hu Jinquan and Zhong Haoqing were stunned by this luxurious lineup, they stared at these works stupidly, their mouths opened wide, and they were short of breath as if they had just run 1500 meters, and Hu Jinquan didn't even know that the brush had been removed.

"Oh my God! How to describe this? The biggest discovery in the world of collecting this century? One of the most valuable treasures? Or oh my God! I don't even know what to say! (To be continued.) )
