Indeed, when Brother Tai unfolded the scroll, I also saw a cloud of ink.

This is because the painting was soaked in water, and I don't know how long it was soaked in water, and after it was dried, although the paper was dry, the content of the painting on it was completely blurred.

So, now, it looks, it's just a black mess.

It is because this painting is in no condition, so Brother Tai did not put it on the auction, so as not to disappoint everyone.

But as a businessman, Tai Ge did not give up and wanted to sell this painting.

Therefore, at the end of the auction, he casually mentioned this sentence.

Lao Cui looked at it, obviously not interested at all, Feng Qingyang didn't care about it, his mind seemed to be only on the coal boss.

At first glance, I was also disappointed.

However, unlike other people, most people only pay attention to the content on the screen, while as a professional, I pay more attention to details, such as the age of the paper, the way it is framed, and so on.

In fact, this is also an occupational disease, and it is done subconsciously.

When I looked at it this way, I felt that there was a problem, although this painting looked like a mess, but the framing technique was indeed very superb and exquisite.

Many people know that the framing of Chinese paintings is also an art.

To put it simply, a painting needs to be pasted together with many layers of paper in order to bring out the content of the painting.

Specifically, the framing of this painting is, without exaggeration, quite detailed.

Whether it is the materials or the techniques, it looks like the craftsmen of the palace can only complete it.

Because the painting was wet, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be some lines on a piece of paper behind the painting.

What do you mean?

This means that there is a painting attached to the back of the painting, that is, two paintings superimposed on top of each other.

If it hadn't been wet, the painting behind it would have been impenetrable.

Of course, these things are very small details, and it is not easy for ordinary people to find them, and even if they do, they will not think about the complex aspects, but at this moment, I have noticed these details.

Not only did he notice, but he also had a desire in his heart to uncover this painting and look at the lines on the paper below, what were they drawing?!

Why did I notice this detail and have the desire to see what was behind?

That's because, in the past, I read a novel of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the story, there is a rich man, the family is very rich, every day he is worried that his little wife wants to steal the family's gold and silver treasures, the rich man secretly hid the treasure in a cave, but after a long time he was worried that he had forgotten, so he drew a treasure map.

After drawing the treasure map, the rich man was still not at ease, so he found a craftsman who framed the treasure map and pasted it on the back of one of the paintings.

Only after a special process can you see the treasure map behind.

At that time, I just remembered such a simple story, and I don't know why?

Continue to talk about this painting in Brother Tai's box, in terms of quality, there is no quality at all, but there are actually some lines from the back, it is definitely not accidental, there must be something greasy in it.

Because framing a calligraphy and painting is also a very laborious and expensive thing, why put a piece of paper with a pattern on the back, it is impossible to do so without the slightest intention.

Moreover, the technique used to frame the painting and the materials used are clearly royal supplies, what does this mean?

This means that the piece of paper attached to the back of this painting is likely to hide some secret in the court......

It's a pity that when I look at this painting now, the picture is completely dirty, and I can't tell which era it is.

So, I just wanted to buy this painting and go back and study it.

After all, these are all my imaginations, and if Brother Tai made a random offer, I would definitely not spend a lot of money to buy such a painting to verify my conjecture.

After thinking about this, the next step is the bargaining part.

I said directly to Brother Tai: "This painting is a remnant, you and I can't see what the picture is painting, there is no problem of quality at all, but I like the mounting of this painting, I want to buy it back and study it, you make a price, if it is suitable, I will take it away, help you clear the inventory, if you offer a high price, then forget it......"

The words I said were very easy, Brother Tai was an old businessman, he lowered his head and thought about it, but said to me: "Make a friend, give me 500 yuan, and you can take it!" ”

It's not worth it to say that 500 yuan is not very worthwhile, but since Brother Tai has spoken, I took out 500 yuan and handed it to Brother Tai, rolled up the scroll, clamped it under my armpit, and followed Lao Cui and Feng Qingyang out of this hotel.

Out of the hotel, Feng Qingyang said that he was hungry and wanted to find a place to eat.

It's noon time, and Cui and I are actually hungry.

I said to the two of them, "Okay, let's have a casual meal nearby, don't waste time, I still want to go somewhere in the afternoon......"

Lao Cui asked, "Oh, where are you going?" ”

I said, "Let's go to the glaze factory." ”

Lao Cui asked: "What are you doing in the glaze factory?" ”

I thought for a while and said: "Liulichang is an old antique street, there should be a master of masterful framing calligraphy and painting, I want to uncover this painting, see if I can repair this dirty picture, if it is a famous work, it cost 500 yuan to make ......."

Lao Cui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, good, but in my personal opinion, your painting, hehe, it is estimated that no matter how it is repaired, it will be useless......"

I didn't tell the truth about this painting, because Cui was just a businessman after all, and I was completely personal conjecture.

Wouldn't it be disappointing to say too much and have great hopes to open the painting and see that there is nothing in it.

There is a very good restaurant not far from the hotel, Lao Cui took the initiative to invite a treat, Feng Qingyang pulled Lao Cui into the hotel, and said that he must eat Lao Cui hard.

Coincidentally, when we walked to the lobby, we saw an acquaintance.

can't be regarded as an acquaintance, it's the white fat coal boss who spent 200,000 yuan to shoot away the bronze tree.

Next to the coal boss, there is also a beautiful woman sitting.

The coal boss was sitting with his face facing the doorway, so the three of us walked in, and he saw us at a glance.

The coal boss is a scene person, as soon as he saw us, he was very enthusiastic and hurriedly beckoned us to sit together.

Since the other party was very enthusiastic, we didn't see each other and sat at the same table as the coal boss.

However, what made me strange was that Lao Cui sat next to the beautiful woman, and he was very close, which made me feel a little awkward.

I feel that I am sitting so close to my lover, and it is not very polite.

After all, there is an empty seat opposite, and Lao Cui can sit there.

Lao Cui is honest and decent, and he doesn't put so much effort into it, doesn't he understand this after living more than fifty years old?!

When I looked at the table, I was even more puzzled, because there was only a pair of dishes and chopsticks in front of the coal boss.

I'll go, do you say......

I looked at the beautiful woman with wide frightened eyes.

However, in the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared......
