Chapter 115: Unveiling

"Brother Yi, what I want to ask you to help identify is this painting, which is Tang Yin's "Four Beauties Appreciate the Autumn Picture". Mr. Wan pointed to the unfolded painting and said solemnly, his eyes flashed at this moment, and his expression was excited, as if he had pinned all his hopes on Yi Yang's body.

"It seems that it is indeed Tang Yin's work." Yi Yang nodded subconsciously.

"Really?" Mr. Wan said happily, "Brother Yi, so this painting is very open?" ”

Yi Yang shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not sure about this yet. Mr. Wan, don't worry, let's take a look first. ”

Although he was vague, he was inclined to think that the thing was genuine from the beginning, that is to say, the ancient figure painting in front of him with the beautiful name "Four Beauties Enjoying the Autumn Picture" was very likely to be from the hand of the legendary "merry genius" Tang Yin, and it was his authentic work.

At least, Yi Yang can now be sure that the painting is quite old, it is an ancient painting, even if it is an imitation, it is also the work of an ancient painter, no matter what, the painting has a lot of collectible value.

"Well, don't worry, please take your time and help me take a good look." Mr. Wan smiled and nodded in agreement.

So Yi Yang looked at it seriously, and Sun Shangwu and Bai Wenchao, who were standing beside him, also stared intently at the painting that seemed to be Tang Bohu's real work, and they were also very interested.

Yi Yang didn't drive the golden wire hidden in his right eye, but tried to identify it with the naked eye to see if he could see what was famous.

However, he can basically only appreciate it, after all, he does not know much about the identification of calligraphy and painting, and he has not studied Tang Bohu's paintings, but he has only heard a little.

After some inspection, Yi Yang found that the painting was first-class, both on paper and in content.

Although Yi Yang has not seen a few paintings of Tang Bohu with his own eyes, he has no concept of his painting style, but Yi Yang vaguely feels that this is Tang Bohu's painting, he painted it like this, and only a painter with extraordinary pen power like him can paint so well, and the characters and landscapes on the paintings are really lifelike.

If it weren't for the change in the golden wire, then Yi Yang would have been able to affirm it at the moment, there is no doubt that the thing is genuine, of course, this is just his judgment.

In order to find out, after carefully appreciating it, Yi Yang secretly activated his ability and drove Jin Si to look for gaps in the painting.

In an instant, the golden thread flew onto the painting, and the golden light emitted soon enveloped the entire painting.

The truth is revealed soon!

The scattered gold threads are condensed at the place where the payment is made, indicating that there is something wrong with the place.

Immediately, Yi Yang noticed that two phantoms broke away from the painting and flew up.

"I see!" At that moment, Yi Yang suddenly became enlightened, and he finally saw the problem.

"How could this be?" After confirming the situation, Yi Yang secretly sighed slightly, as if he was a little disappointed.

Although he knew that there was something wrong and could easily solve it, Yi Yang would definitely not do this, that painting had nothing to do with him now, and he didn't need to fix it.

"Brother Yi, how is it? Is this Tang Yin's "Four Beauties Appreciating Autumn Pictures" genuine? ”

Seeing that Yi Yang suddenly raised his head, his expression was also a little strange, and Mr. Wan, who had been standing next to him to observe his words and expressions, couldn't wait to ask.

He was convinced of Yi Yang's appraisal ability and knew that he would definitely be able to see with his eyesight, so he attached great importance to the other party's opinion.

Yi Yang shook his head and said: "Mr. Wan, I'm sorry, forgive me for being clumsy, I can't be sure that it is Tang Yin's real work, but the painting itself is very good, it is a good ancient painting." ”

He told the truth that in his opinion, the painting was really good, and the painter was very skilled, and I believe it was not the work of ordinary people.

"You're not sure either?" Mr. Wan was surprised, "Brother Yi, isn't it?" You have such a good eye, why can't you see it for sure? Do you see what's wrong? It's okay, just talk straight, I just want to hear the truth from you! ”

Yi Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Wan, I'm telling the truth, I really can't tell." ”

Although he used his ability to see the flaws in the painting, it was not the same as affirming or denying anything, it could only mean that something was wrong, and the painting could be Tang Yin's original work, or it might not be his work, but a later generation of painters who imitated it.

"That's okay too." Mr. Wan smiled and said, "At least you're more optimistic, aren't you?" ”

"yes, I'm pretty bullish." Yi Yang nodded and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I don't have much research on calligraphy and painting, and my eyesight is limited." ”

Mr. Wan hurriedly shook his head and said, "You are too modest. As the so-called 'art industry has a specialty', everyone has their own strengths, I know that your strengths are in the identification of porcelain, in the identification of porcelain you are a real master! If I have any problems with porcelain identification in the future, then I will have to ask you for help. ”

Yi Yang said without hesitation: "If you can help, you must do your best!" ”

"Thank you in advance!" Mr. Wan happily shook Yi Yang's hand.

Later, he handed his business card to Yi Yang and sincerely asked the other party for his contact information.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Chao."

When Mr. Wan was about to say goodbye and leave, someone suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and greeted Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao.

"Mu Lao-" Hearing this, Yi Yang hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see that it was no one else who walked in, it was Mu Lao who brought them to participate in the appraisal meeting.

"Master Mu, you've come just in time!" Mr. Wan also recognized Mu Lao at a glance, and then stepped forward to greet him in surprise and joy.

"Boss Wan, is that you?" Seeing that it was Mr. Wan in the box, Mu Lao also politely said hello, it can be seen that they have long been acquainted, maybe Mr. Wan also asked Mu Lao about Yi Yang's situation before, otherwise how could he know Yi Yang's situation very well.

"Master Mu, I just got a painting, a friend gave it to me, I just asked a few masters to see it, but they couldn't see it accurately, and then I asked Brother Yi to slap his eyes, and he said that this painting is not easy to say." Mr. Wan said solemnly, "They can't eat accurately, so I'm going to look for you, I hope you can help me make sure of it, so that I don't feel restless about it!" ”

"Xiao Yi also watched it?" Hearing Mr. Wan say that, Mu Lao glanced at Yi Yang intentionally or unintentionally.

"yes, he's already shown it to me." Mr. Wan nodded in reply.

"What is the painting? Let's talk about it. Mu Lao said, and later he brought Mr. Wan back to Yiyang and them.

"Master Mu, it's this painting." Mr. Wan said, "It's Tang Yin's "Four Beauties Enjoying the Autumn Picture". ”

As he spoke, he spread the painting on the coffee table again for Mu Lao's appreciation.

Mu Lao fixed his eyes and said, "Is it a picture of a lady?" Although Tang Yin has also painted such paintings, his specialty is landscape painting, and I rarely see a picture of a lady with many figures. ”

Mr. Wan said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Maybe this is a palace painting, which is specially painted for the emperor to enjoy." ”

Mu Lao shook his head and said: "Tang Bohu's court paintings, this is not reliable, as far as I know, although Tang Bohu is talented, has lofty ideals and ambitions, is a genius painter, but his cynical arrogant character is not allowed in this society, he had a rough life, and finally died at the age of 55, it can be said that he died young, but in order to make a living, he specializes in selling calligraphy and paintings for a living, so there are still a lot of authentic works that have been handed down to the world, and are appreciated and treasured by future generations. Therefore, Tang Bohu did not or rarely painted court paintings, even if he painted a maid, even if it was a palace maid, or a scene in the palace, it was not necessarily a court painting, maybe it was just an ordinary painting with the court as the theme, and it was not uncommon to see such paintings, in fact, there were professional painters in the court, specifically for the royal family, and the paintings drawn were 'court paintings' in the strict sense. ”

Mu Lao explained everything about "court painting", and after hearing this, Mr. Wan nodded busily: "I see! Master Mu, listening to your words has greatly enhanced my knowledge! So according to what you mean, is it possible that this painting is the real work of Tang Yin? ”

"The style of painting is a bit similar, and it's not wrong to get paid, it's possible!" Mu Lao replied solemnly.

It is worthy of being a master-level connoisseur, and you can basically conclude it at a glance.

"Really?!" Mr. Wan said happily, as if he had been affirmed by Mu Lao.

"But I'll have to take a good look at it first." Mu Lao said, "No one can be sure of the reality of this painting at a glance. ”

"Well, that's what you need to look at." Mr. Wan said respectfully.

"I tried my best to understand." Mu Lao nodded and said.

With that, he took out his magnifying glass and examined the painting in detail.

After checking the painting for a long time, Mu Lao raised his head and said, "Boss Wan, this painting is wrong." ”

He was straight to the point.

"Isn't that right?! What's wrong?! Mr. Wan was surprised.

Mu Lao pointed to the place where the money was dropped, and said: "The money is not right, although the seal is Tang Bohu's, but it is not on this painting, if I guess the painting correctly, the seal is taken off from another painting and pasted - you should have heard of 'unveiling the painting', that is, a painting made of rice paper is uncovered into several pieces, because rice paper can be split into several layers, as long as the craftsmanship is good, it is no problem to uncover ten pieces, but the lower the number of layers, the less clear the picture." ”

"Huh?!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Mr. Wan himself was surprised, but Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao also looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of surprise.

This is what Mr. Wan and Bai Wenchao never expected, although Yi Yang knew that there was a problem with the payment office, but he didn't expect it to come up, after all, he glanced at it in a hurry just now, and he didn't see many situations clearly, of course, even if he saw it clearly, he might not want to get it, because it was the first time he had heard of the professional term "unmasking".

"Impossible, right?!" Mr. Wan's eyes widened and he said with a look of horror.

Mu Lao smiled and said: "There is nothing impossible, now the technology of calligraphy and painting is very clever, and it is impossible to prevent it!" If you don't believe that you can find a master who can uncover the frame, he can help you remove the fake seal and restore the true face of Lushan in this painting. ”

"Well, I'll call Master Hua right away, he's a professional framer." Mr. Wan nodded hurriedly.

So at that moment, he called the master Hua, who must also be participating in this treasure appreciation exchange meeting, on call, and he hurried over after a while.

After hearing the situation clearly, he took action.

According to Mu Lao's prompt, sure enough, Tang Bohu's seal at the place of payment was removed smoothly, and it was clearly not integrated with the whole painting, but was artificially pasted later.

"Oops~~"

After revealing the true face of Lushan in that painting, Mr. Wan slapped his forehead heavily, his face full of regret.

Mu Lao said: "The inscription of this painting has been destroyed, I can't see whose money it is, but it shouldn't be Tang Bohu's, the overall style of this painting is quite similar to Tang Bohu's painting at first glance, but there are still differences when you look closely." ”

"Master Mu, you're right!" Mr. Wan sighed and said, "This is just a fake that is indiscriminate, I have an eye!" That's it! ”

After confirming that the thing was a forgery, Mr. Wan only felt that his face was gone, and he immediately put the painting away, for fear that Mu Lao and Yi Yang would laugh at him.

However, at this moment, no one noticed that Yi Yang's expression changed drastically, and his expression was thoughtful.

It turned out that when Master Hua unveiled the painting, Yi Yang unknowingly drove the ability of his right eye, and he inspected it again, this time he looked more carefully.

I don't know if I don't know this, but when I look at it, I am surprised, and he finally understands what is going on with the painting that has been fraudulently paid.

Then Mr. Wan said goodbye to Yi Yang and them very disappointed, and left the box in a huff.

And not long after he left, Yi Yang quietly called him.
