After listening to Xiao Lao's words, several old men all showed a constipated look. It seems that there is a table full of Han people in front of him, but there are a few green-headed flies in each dish, which can be seen or eaten......

If you want to rank the painters of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Lingsui, the cousin of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, can definitely be ranked in the top ten, and there are not many of his paintings that have been handed down to modern times, but each one is a treasure.

Now there is a volume of "Jiangning River" painted by Zhao Lingsui in front of him, and it is also a long scroll, not to mention anything else, just the history of more than 900 years, even if the level of this painting is not high, and it can even be said to be very poor, this painting can also be called a national treasure.

As the saying goes, "one page of the Song version is one or two gold", the Song version of the book has been passed down to modern times is already an extremely precious cultural relic, not to mention the even rarer number of Song paintings?

In modern times, every painting preserved from the Song Dynasty can be called a national treasure. Therefore, although the level of painting in the current volume of "Jiangning River" is very average, it is also a painting that can be called a national treasure.

It's just that for these old men, what they want is not only a Song painting, but also a perfect painting that can be passed down through the ages. The history of this painting in front of me is there, but this level is ......

Yang Jing estimated that at this time, the five old men were complaining in their hearts - you said that you are obviously Zhao Lingsui, Zhao Lingsui, and made such a painting for Mao that people like and hate?

Several old men looked at this painting quietly, the atmosphere was extremely weird, and even Yang Jing couldn't stand it anymore.

Fortunately, Cai Yi spoke out to break this weird atmosphere.

"Xiaojing, how much did you spend to get this volume of "Jiangning Dajiang Tu"?"

"One ......" Yang Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say 10,000 yuan, but then he forcibly controlled the number behind him.

It is true that this painting was acquired by him for 10,000 yuan in Jinling in 1982, but this sentence must not be said. If you want to collect this painting in modern times, 10,000 yuan is at most for you to see, and it is impossible to collect it at all.

"One million?" Cai Yi picked up Yang Jing's words with some hesitation, and Yang Jing could only nod silently.

"Well, it's not expensive to get such a painting for a million, it's a leak. Huang Lao said on the side, but Yang Jing could hear the deep resentment in Huang Lao's tone, and it was obvious that everyone who loves calligraphy and painting really couldn't stand this painting.

Liu Lao asked: "Xiao Jing, why did you spend so much money to collect this painting at that time? Although you still have something to learn in calligraphy and painting, you should be able to see the level of this painting based on your appraisal level." ”

"Master, as I just said, when I saw this volume of "Jiangning Dajiang Tu", I felt that there was something wrong with this painting, and my intuition told me that this painting was indeed a genuine painting, but I always felt that this painting seemed to be hiding something. Four masters, you should all know my inexplicable intuition, yes, when I received this painting, it was my intuition that told me that this painting was not simple, so I paid a million to accept it. ”

Huang Lao said: "Xiao Jing, although this painting is painted by Zhao Lingsui, but this painting is nothing special, if there is anything special, it is that the level of this painting is really not worthy of Zhao Lingsui's fame and level." If it weren't for Lao Xiao's affirmative identification that this painting was painted by Zhao Lingsui, I would have thought it was a fake. ”

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Old Huang, it's not the problem of the painting itself. The special feeling that this painting gave me did not come from the painting itself, although I had not yet begun to learn calligraphy and painting from my second master, but I also knew that the level of this painting was very average. But the reason why I still accept this painting is because the strange feeling does not come from the painting itself, but from something else. ”

As soon as Xiao Lao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly pointed to the scrolls at both ends of this volume of "Jiangning Dajiang Tu" and asked, "Xiao Jing, do you think there is a problem with the scroll of this painting?"

Yang Jing slapped his thigh as if he had suddenly realized, "Oh, Second Master, you are really in a word! To be honest, I only thought there was something wrong with this painting before, but I can't tell where there was a problem, but I can say for sure that it is definitely not the level of the painting itself, it is somewhere else." Second Master, when you said this just now, I knew where that special feeling came from. That's right, these are these two scrolls. ”

Liu Lao nodded and said: "Well, the scroll of this painting is indeed a bit unusual, too thick, I have never seen such a thick scroll." ”

Guo Lao is a master of cultural preservation work in the courtyard, and he has seen a lot of ancient things and handled more things. After all, those cultural relics and antiques with a long history need regular maintenance, and this work is basically handed over to a group of cultural preservation experts led by Guo Lao.

"Hehe, I've never seen such a thick scroll. No wonder I thought this painting was a little strange just now, it turns out that the roots are here. Guo Lao smiled and leaned up and touched the painting scroll, "Yo, it's still rosewood." Judging from the materials used in this scroll, it is in line with Zhao Lingsui's identity, after all, he also has royal blood. ”

Cai Yi said with a smile: "This Zhao Lingsui is not ordinary, when Song Huizong Zhao Ji was the king of Duan, he had a very good relationship with him. Later, the history books said that after Zhao Ji became the emperor, this Zhao Lingsu could go directly to the inner hall without reporting for a period of time. ”

Guo Lao knocked on the scroll and said, "Hollow." I said, "Why do I think there's something hidden in this scroll?"

Hearing Guo Lao's words, the eyes of several old men lit up again, and Yang Jing said very simply: "Third Master, why don't you take down these two painting scrolls and let's take a look?"

Although Huang Lao was moved, he still said: "Xiao Jing, this is not very good, although the level of this painting is very average, but after all, it is also a Song painting, and the preservation is not bad, if you take down the painting scroll, it will destroy the mounting." The heart of this painting can't stand being framed again. ”

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Old Huang, I know what you mean, you are worried that taking down the scroll will damage this painting. Actually, it doesn't matter, I always think that there should be something hidden in these two scrolls, and the hidden things are not ordinary, if you don't find out if there is something hidden in them today, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night, right? Besides, let's just take down the scroll, and don't destroy the heart of the painting, it's okay. ”

After all, Yang Jing is the owner of this painting, since he doesn't care, it's hard for others to say anything else.

Not to mention, these five old men actually wanted to see if there was really something hidden in these two painting scrolls. After all, such a thick painting scroll is really weird, and this painting is still handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty, and what can make Zhao Lingsui hide is definitely not ordinary.

Guo Lao is an expert in cultural conservation, and he is even more neat than Xiao Lao in taking painting scrolls.

"Then I'll take the painting scroll!" Guo Lao looked at a few old friends, and then at Yang Jing.

Yang Jing nodded, asked Liu Lao a few words, and then ran into another room and took out a set of tools from the house. Liu Lao's villa doesn't look like no one lives in it, but there is no shortage of guys here.

Guo Lao worked for more than 20 minutes before he took down the two painting scrolls. However, I have to admire Guo Lao's craftsmanship, although taking the painting shaft will destroy the mounting of the calligraphy and painting, but in Guo Lao's hands, this damage is minimized, and even if you don't look carefully, you can't see that the painting scroll has been removed.

After taking these two painting scrolls, Guo Lao checked the two painting scrolls separately, and said with great certainty: "There are indeed things in this painting scroll, and the weight is different." Which one shall we open first?"

The eyes of several old people all looked at Yang Jing, although Yang Jing is a junior character, but this painting belongs to him after all, and even his four masters are not good at making decisions for him.

Yang Jing pointed to the heavier scroll and said, "Third Master, please open this scroll first." Since this painting is heavy, it means that there are more things hidden in it, so let's see what is hidden inside. ”

Guo Lao smiled: "Then I'm going under the knife?"

Several old men said loudly at the same time: "You Guo Lao is in a hurry, don't be in a hurry when you should be in a hurry." After saying that, the old men all laughed.

The painting shaft is a material for calligraphy and painting mounting, also known as the shaft head. Sandalwood was commonly used in ancient painting shafts, sandalwood can dispel moisture, and there is a fragrance when opening the gate, and it can repel beetles. However, sandalwood, especially rosewood, is heavier, so in ancient times, when making painting scrolls, the sandalwood was usually cut in the middle, and then hollowed out and then merged together, so that a hollow painting scroll was completed.

Although the scroll of this painting is made of rosewood, and it is a little scary, it is not heavy, because these two scrolls are hollow.

Guo Lao looked at the scroll carefully, and then said with great certainty: "This painting has not been passive since it was framed, I can be sure of this!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Lao slowly took off the painting scroll, and then found the traces of the dissection on the painting scroll, and gently began to pry it little by little with a tool, and after a while, this particularly thick painting scroll was pried in half.

As soon as the scroll was opened, the contents were completely revealed—a roll of silk wrapped in a layer of colorless silk.

"This ......" The old men glanced at each other, and they all saw the irrepressible excitement in each other's eyes.

At this time, in fact, everyone understands that what can be hidden in the scroll by Zhao Lingsui must be a good thing, at least it is more precious than the "Jiangning River" painted by Zhao Lingsui, otherwise as far as Zhao Lingsui is concerned, he would not have done such a hidden thing.

Cai Yi said: "Do you want to make some preparations? This thing has been hidden in the painting scroll for I don't know how many years, can you open it so directly?"

Guo Lao said: "It's not a big problem, this painting scroll is not the kind of painting scroll that is very tightly sealed, and this thing hidden inside has always been in contact with the outside air, otherwise the layer of silk wrapped outside would not fade to this point." ”

As he spoke, Guo Lao carefully unwrapped the layer of silk wrapped outside, revealing the contents inside......
