Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival"?

It's a bit of a joke!

Different from Tang Yin's current celebrity calligraphy and paintings, "Qingming Riverside Picture" is a famous painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is now priceless, and later generations are known as one of China's top ten famous paintings, which is not to say that a few hundred taels of silver can be bought back, even if the Li family does not know who collects it, they should also know that the person who collects the painting must be noble, and the Li family has been in business for so long and does not understand this truth?

If you want to say that the people who hide paintings now, others may not know, but Shen Xi knows it clearly.

Now it is not someone else who owns this "Qingming Riverside Picture", it is Xu Pu, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty who just became a master in the first year.

But it is said that the inheritance of this painting has a small allusion.

Jin extinguished the Northern Song Dynasty, this painting was owned by the Jin State, Meng Yuan extinguished Jin, this painting fell into the hands of the Yuan people, and later scattered among the people, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was collected by a person named Zhou Wenfu, when Li Qi, who was "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Confucianism raised", was fortunate to see this painting, and inscribed.

Li Qi is the distant ancestor of Li Dongyang, the current second assistant to the cabinet.

Li Dongyang has a deep relationship with the "Qingming Riverside Picture", he had the honor to appreciate this work many years ago, when the painting was collected by Zhu Wenzheng of Dali Temple, Li Dongyang happily inscribed on it, and he can leave ink treasures on the same famous painting with his distant ancestors, which is a beautiful talk.

Zhu Wenzheng is getting older, and he wants to find a person who knows how to paint the "Qingming Riverside Picture" to collect, so he thought of Xu Pu, when people have the elegance of transferring famous paintings to others to collect, in fact, it is a kind of bribery in disguise, Zhu Wenzheng gave this painting to Xu Pu, a scholar, but this matter is not known to outsiders.

Until Xu Pu returned to his hometown in Yixing in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he felt that time was running out, so he wanted to find someone to entrust this famous painting, so he thought of Li Dongyang, who was a scholar of the Auxiliary Political University in the dynasty and had a close relationship with this painting, so he asked his grandson Xu Wencan to bring the painting to Beijing and present it to Li Dongyang.

Xu Pu did this, on the one hand, he wanted to be an adult and leave a good story, and on the other hand, he hoped that Li Dongyang could take care of his descendants.

But Xu Wencan has no fame after all, he entered Beijing with treasures, acted in a low-key manner, and was stolen by thieves halfway. The thief may only know that this painting is valuable, but he did not expect that Xu Pu, the original owner of this painting, and Li Dongyang, the person who was about to give it away, were both cabinet scholars.

After the thief stole the famous painting, he went to the pawnshop of the Li family in the capital to pawn, because the people did not know who collected the painting, and saw such a masterpiece, and the price reported by the thief was not high, and no one would let it go easily, so the Li family bought the painting at a price of two hundred taels of silver, so it caused today's disaster.

Later, the Li family learned that Xu Wencan reported to the official, and knew that Xu Pu wanted to give the painting to Li Dongyang but the painting was stolen halfway.

Shen Xi probably knew the whole story, and there was a slight apology on his face: "I just make a living with a little bit of painting insect carving skills, how can I be able to restore such a famous painting?" Li Gongzi and Miss Li should be another high! ”

Shen Xi didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

Now the Li family has become a frightened bird, and everyone is in danger.

On the one hand, he is afraid that the government will come to the door, and on the other hand, he is terrified because the painting is damaged, and now the government has not found the head of the Li family's pawnshop, but after all, this case involves two scholars before and after, among which Li Dongyang's holy family is Zhenglong, who may serve as the first assistant at any time, how can the Shuntian Mansion give up?

Li Yu's tone was a little impatient: "Painter Zhao said this, is he unwilling to help?" It can be seen that I have a good relationship with Su Gongzi and Xinke Shen Zhuangyuan, you ......"

Shen Xi's face froze, this Li Yu only knew that Su Tong had a good relationship with the new champion, so he used the name of "Shen Zhuangyuan" to threaten him, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Miss Li Er hurriedly interrupted her brother's words: "Painter Zhao, if my Li family can find someone to restore this painting, I will never come to disturb it." This matter is very important, can not be leaked, and non-skilled people can not be competent, my Li family acquaintance painter, there is only one Zhao painter with such skills. If Painter Zhao is willing to help, my Li family will be grateful, and the little woman will thank you here in advance......"

As she spoke, Second Miss Li bowed down and was very respectful.

This made Shen Xi a little embarrassed to refuse.

From a rational point of view, he should never touch this matter, but as a later generation, especially an archaeologist, with the position of appreciating famous calligraphy and painting and ensuring its smooth inheritance, he should help, because there are very few people who have seen this painting, and he can restore the "Qingming Riverside Map" that has been bitten by insects and rats, and I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will not be able to find a second person except him.

Li Yu said: "Painter Zhao, we open the skylight and say bright words, from the day you were invited by Su Gongzi to paint, and then to send a message to your sister, you know that your teacher is famous, what kind of conditions do you need to be willing to help?" Just say it, our Li family may not be able to help you, but there is silver, and there are some connections, at least you can have no worries about food and clothing during your stay in Beijing. ”

"Conditions?"

Shen Xi sneered and glanced at Miss Li Er.

Miss Li Er would mistakenly think that Shen Xi's condition was her, as her daughter's family, she lowered her head a little shyly: "If Painter Zhao can help the Li family tide over the difficulties, the Li family will not forget the kindness of Painter Zhao, and the little woman is also willing to ......."

"Don't sacrifice anything Miss Li."

Shen Xi interrupted Miss Li Er's words, if Miss Li Er wanted to make a personal promise, he really couldn't afford it.

Miss Li Er is indeed a beauty, if you give a score, you can score at least ninety points, but now the most important thing around him is beauty, at least his mouth is a little looser, and the fat man can help him find a suitable woman.

Shen Xi is now having a headache about how to settle Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai, not to mention that he still has people in his heart who are concerned, and he can't have any entanglement with a woman who has only met a few times at this time, "I can indeed help in Xia, but I must explain in advance that this painting is a masterpiece of the world, and I am afraid that the skills in Xia will not be able to restore its original appearance, if the matter is revealed, it must not be involved." And ......"

Shen Xi thought about it, if he didn't mention any conditions, it would not be very reasonable.

People do things for nothing more than hatred, fame and fortune and Zhizhi, he wants to help mainly because of "Zhizhixin", but he must leave the Li family with the illusion that he is helping for "fame and fortune", "If things go well, I want the Li family to spend some money to buy a mansion and a shop for Zai. ”

Li Yu was furious when he heard this, and he didn't help it, so he opened his mouth and asked for a mansion and a shop, you must know that at this time, the capital, because the outer city has not yet been repaired, every inch of land is expensive, even if you buy any of them, it will cost thousands of taels of silver at every turn, and it will cost so much to repair a painting, he thinks it is not worth it.

Li Yu hurriedly pulled his sister and said, "Little sister, otherwise, it's the same as my grandfather said, hide the painting, and I don't know it." ”

"No!"

Miss Li Er's attitude was very resolute, "Grandfather has made a mistake once, and he can't be wrong a second time, how many pawnshops in this capital can afford such precious calligraphy and paintings?" Could it be that if we cover it up, the government will not be able to find it? She turned her head sideways to look at Shen Xi, "Painter Zhao, we will try our best to do what you said, but the matter is urgent, please help as soon as possible, the little woman is only afraid...... It won't last a few days......"

Shen Xi nodded: "Okay, please bring the painting and take it back to the house to repair it." ”

"You...... What did you say? Li Yu glared at Shen Xi again.

Shen Xi said: "Isn't it a hot potato painted in your hands?" It is impossible for me to go home with you now, this painting will take a few days to be repaired, so please help me bring a few materials and utensils with me while you go back to pick up the painting, which may come in handy when the painting is restored. ”

Li Yu was angry in his heart, but he couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he could only get angry.

Miss Li Er said: "Painter Zhao, please rest assured, my Li family has prepared all the materials and utensils that should be prepared, so let someone get them for you." Uncle Xun, you go back, explain the situation to your grandfather, and bring the paintings and the things you have prepared. ”

Originally, Shen Xi could go to the Li Mansion with the Li brothers and sisters, but Shen Xi knew that this matter involved the life of the Li family, if he went rashly, there might be no entry or exit, and it was okay if the repair was successful, the Li family might treat him well, but if there was a slight deviation, it was not impossible to "kill people and destroy the mouth", and Shen Xi had to guard against it.

But the Li family was not very at ease with Shen Xi, so they handed over the painting, and it seemed that the hot potato would be handed over to others, but if the government caught the person who stole the painting, it would definitely track down the Li pawnshop, and at that time they couldn't even hand over the painting, and the Li family couldn't explain it.

The servants of the Li family went for about half an hour before returning, and in order to hide people's eyes, they used a large wooden box to carry the painting scroll.

The matter is very important, Miss Li Er specially gave the shopkeeper of the teahouse a tael of silver for him to avoid for the time being, and then put together a few tea tables and slowly unfolded the paintings that were almost two feet long.

In order to prevent candle tears and tung oil from polluting the painting, the Li family stepped forward with lanterns to let Shen Xi have a look. Although the light of the lantern was slightly dim, Shen Xi was still amazed by the majestic atmosphere of the painting in front of him.

Because the whole "Qingming Riverside Picture" is a scroll, even if it is eaten by insects and rats, the damage is only the outer part, Shen Xi has seen it, the problem is not big, but the difficulty of repair is not small, mainly no one knows the slightly missing part of the painting, what is painted inside, and the splicing part cannot be aged for hundreds of years, and the original painting can not be seamlessly connected.

These are all technical jobs, and Shen Xi himself has never practiced them, and he is not completely sure.

Seeing Shen Xi carefully looking at the missing parts of the picture, Miss Li Er couldn't help but ask nervously, "Painter Zhao, may it be repaired?" ”

Shen Xi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "I need three days, I can't come to disturb in these three days, and at this point in time in three days, you can send someone to pick it up." ”

Miss Li Er didn't reply, Li Yu spoke first: "No." I don't even know where you live, so what if you abscond? ”

Shen Xi glanced at Li Yu coldly: "Gongzi Li is too bold to look at, this painting is a gift from Young Master Xu to Scholar Li, I dare to flee with it, can I escape from the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Shen Xi's cross-examination, even Li Yu could not refute it.

This famous painting is a hot potato, and the world is afraid to avoid it, and Shen Xi has no reason to ask for his own hardship. Moreover, Shen Xi had already "opened his mouth" to propose the conditions for the restoration of the painting, which made Shen Xi's move seem reasonable, if Shen Xi had offered to help for free from the beginning, the Li family would not believe it.
