"No, it's just a few imitations of the Republic of China?"

Liu Guangqi waved his hand.

"Can the imitation of the Republic of China get into your eyes? I don't know that you kid, like that old guy Tong Fengquan, hides all the good things you can get. ”

Lan Yigui didn't believe Liu Guangqi's nonsense, so he reached out and took the three paintings beside Liu Guangqi and put them on the eucalyptus.

"I really didn't, hey, what kind of person do you think I am, hey, this is my classmate accidentally trampled on other people's things, and I saw that the young man who sold things was not easy to buy things."

Looking at Lan Yigui's actions, Liu Guangqi said with a smile and a smile, since he took Wanli Qinghua to Liu's shopkeeper and sold it, he left this impression here on Lan Yigui, and he knew that he would sell it to him.

"Guishan, come and take a hand"

Although Liu Guangqi explained the origin of these paintings, Lan Yigui didn't listen to a word, and beckoned Guishan to open a painting.

"Bada Shanren, Zhu Qi's painting. The painting is good, but the artistic conception is a little worse. As a member of the Ming Dynasty, he witnessed the collapse of the country and the death of the family, his heart was sad and lonely, and even once he was insane.

In his own words, "There are no ink spots and many tears, and the mountains and rivers are still the old mountains and rivers." The coconut trees in the troubled times are left to be carefully traced by Wenlin.

Therefore, he paints remnants of mountains and rivers, a desolate and desolate group, and paints flowers and birds that are always empty and sparse, cold and indifferent, which is inextricably linked with his bleak life experience and cold feelings. And what is reflected under this appearance is his personality psychology that is different from ordinary people.

Compared with Zhu Qi's authentic handiwork, this painting can only be said to be in its shape, not its meaning. ”

The three-eyed kung fu Lan Yigui finished appraising the first painting and evaluated Zhu Qi. The reason why it is so fast, on the one hand, is that Lan Yigui has extraordinary eyesight, although this painting is good, but in his eyes, it is clumsy, and Lan Yigui, who is more similar to it, has seen it, let alone this.

What's more, the biggest flaw in this painting is not in the painting, but in the paper, how could Zhu Qi, a person in the early Qing Dynasty, use the paper of the Republic of China. Even if it is old, it is full of flaws. With this flaw, there is no need to look closely.

Rolled up the first painting, Lan Yigui opened the second painting, the second painting is also like the painting of a famous Qing Dynasty artist, but it is not Zhu Qi but Shi Tao, it is still a fake, the shortcomings are the same as the first one, they are all paintings of the early Qing Dynasty, but the paper of the Republic of China is used, and time has passed.

After reading these two paintings, Lan Yigui already believed Liu Guangqi's explanation a little in his heart, but for the sake of face, he still opened the third painting and wanted to find out Liu Guangqi's flaws, so he didn't believe that Liu Guangqi would really spend money to buy a few copies of the Republic of China.

"What's the matter, I didn't lie to you, we are half a master and apprentice, how can you think of me like that, I'm not Wang Cai's bastard."

Liu Guangqi looked at the boring expression on Lan Yigui's face and quipped on the side. Lan Yigui glanced at him and continued to stare at the scroll in front of him.

"Good guy, Qingming Shanghe Tu,"

As soon as I opened Lan Yigui, I saw that this painting was the same as the previous two, and it was also written by the same person. Just when Lan Yigui was disappointed and was about to roll up the scroll, his eyes suddenly saw the place that was trampled on by Wang Dongfang, and then his eyes lit up.

"Okay, boy, you're testing me."

Hearing Lan Yigui's words, Liu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to the meaning of Lan Yigui's words, Lan Yigui reopened the previous two paintings, and took out a magnifying glass to observe them carefully. Then he showed an expression that was indeed so.

Seeing Lan Yigui's posture, Liu Guangqi also understood that the three paintings he bought back were not simple, and there must be another mystery, so he immediately walked opposite Lan Yigui and squeezed together with Lan Yigui to observe.

"No problem, master"

Liu Guangqi looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, the paper on this is indeed the paper of the Republic of China, and the traces on it are also smoked, not the traces left by the passage of time.

"You really didn't see it, or pretended."

So far, Lan Yigui still doesn't believe that Liu Guangqi didn't see it.

"Oh my God, I don't see it, as for me, is it interesting to play cymbals with you?"

"Yes, yes, I thought you could see enough, but now it seems that you still have to practice, and sometimes what you see is actually what others want you to see."

Seeing that Liu Guangqi really didn't see it, Lan Yigui also showed a smug smile on his face.

Liu Guangqi's eyesight he knows, although it can't compare to him, but at least with his eight successes, coupled with Tong Fengquan's blessing, the eyesight of the two can now be said to be between the two of them, and there have been several times when he feels old.

Now he can see the problems with these paintings, but Liu Guangqi doesn't see it, which shows that he can still be a master.

"Master, you're boring, didn't you see it before? As for burying me like this. ”

Liu Guangqi glanced at Lan Yigui angrily, how can this old man be like an old child.

"Guishan, come and take a look, see if you can see something"

Lan Yigui ignored Liu Guangqi and beckoned to Guishan on the side.

"Shopkeeper, don't make fun of me, you can't see it in the light, so I'll talk about it."

Guishan on the side knew that his eyesight was not enough, so he smiled and waved his hand. Times have changed, and Guishan's name for Lan Yigui has also changed, he used to be called Ye, but now he is not called Comrade, he is already very nostalgic.

"Let you see, you see, you have been following me for ten years, you can't be a buddy for the rest of your life. In our business, in addition to being able to speak, you also have to be able to watch. If you want to be a shopkeeper, you can't do it without eyesight, and you can't get out without practicing this eyesight. ”

Lan Yigui looked at the shy Guishan and preached.

"That's it, take a look, you will understand it when you see more, this is a good opportunity for on-site teaching and knowledge. If you can't see it, you can see it first, and then you will see it, and then the old man will reveal the mystery, and you will know where to look next time. This is the same as when we study medicine, when we encounter difficult diseases, we have to go to the master, otherwise we will not be able to learn things, are you right, Dongfang"

"That's right, that's right."

"Shopkeeper, I really can't see anything wrong with this thing, I can only see that this painting is wrong, it uses the wrong paper, and the yellowing on it is so yellow that the marks are smoked, not like it is caused by natural causes.

With the encouragement and instigation of the three of them, Guishan finally walked up to the eucalyptus, picked up the magnifying glass in Lan Yigui's hand, observed it from beginning to end, and then put down the magnifying glass in his hand with a smile.

"It's okay, it's good to have this eyesight, and that's how I go."

Liu Guangqi put his arm around Guishan's shoulders and said.

"You are too polite, I can't compare with you, I can see that it's not how high my level is, it's that the level of this painting is too poor. Pure and innocent glances, if I can't see it anymore, then I will really be blind to follow the shopkeeper for so many years. ”

Guishan rubbed his hands and laughed at himself.

"I still have to practice."

Lan Yigui looked at the two of them and said disappointedly

"It's time for the old man to unravel the mystery."

"I can't see it, right, but if you look at this painting again, you'll understand what's going on."

Saying that, Lan Yigui took out the Qingming Riverside map that was trampled on by Wang Dongfang, and handed the magnifying glass to Liu Guangqi.

After taking the magnifying glass, Liu Guangqi and Guishan pouted their buttocks again and observed carefully. When the two of them saw the place that was trampled on by Wang Dongfang, they found the problem almost at the same time, and then shouted in unison.

"Picture-in-Picture"

Then the two of them turned their gaze back to the other two paintings, and the remaining two paintings were easily recognizable if they had a flaw.

After the two of them observed the place where the scroll was mounted, they finally found some clues, although the counterfeiter chose the safest picture-in-picture very carefully, but after decades of poor preservation, the corners of these paintings are somewhat damaged, there are traces of moth-eaten and natural shedding, and in this place you can clearly see the fiber traces of the early Qing Dynasty paper under the rice paper of the Republic of China. It's rare, but it's enough to tell.

The reason why Guishan couldn't see that it was because the level was not enough, Liu Guangqi couldn't see that it was purely careless, and was confused by the appearance of this painting, but in fact, the level was not enough in the final analysis.

"Old man, it's not true that it's not hidden."

Thinking of the things hidden under the painting paper, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but get excited, Zhu Qi and Shi Tao's paintings Liu Guangqi didn't care, the Qingming Shanghe picture is not the same, although it does not seem to be Zhang Zeduan's authentic handwriting, but it also seems to be the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Qiu Ying

If the things hidden in the painting are the same as those outside, then Liu Guangqi has made a lot of money this time, and the value of this painting will definitely not be lower than the original Song painting of Tong Fengquan Pit Lan Yigui, or even higher, this is a masterpiece that is several meters long.

"Do you still have to uncover it? Are you going to go back and expose it yourself, or will you expose it with me? ”

"Of course it's yours."

What are you kidding, don't let the master master go, get started by yourself, Liu Guangqi has no problem with his brain, although he can also uncover the painting, but compared to Lan Yigui, it is far behind. If you don't reveal dozens or hundreds of pieces of this thing, you can't practice it.

"Okay, then I'll uncover it here, I just happen to have itchy hands. Guishan is closed, and we will not be open today. I'm going to see what's hidden under this painting. ”

With Liu Guangqi's permission, Lan Yigui directly beckoned Guishan to lock the door, and then put together the tables in the store, and then beckoned Liu Guangqi to boil a pot of hot water, and took out a bunch of tools to be used to uncover the painting, after doing these preparations, Lan Yigui closed his eyes and sat on the chair calmly, waiting for the hot water to boil.

"This painting can still be revealed. Isn't this one rotten. ”

Looking at Lan Yigui's solemn posture, Wang Dongfang, who didn't know how to do it, tilted his head and whispered in Liu Guangqi's ear.

Seeing that Wang Dongfang was so curious, Liu Guangqi explained to him the principle of unveiling the painting.

"No, the paper used for painting in ancient times is different from the paper we usually use for writing, and the ancient paintings generally use rice paper, and some precious calligraphy and painting use silk. This rice paper is made layer by layer, and the plant fibers on it fall one layer at a time, and then compacted to become a whole sheet, which is not easy to rot when torn horizontally.

Unveiling the painting is to use hot water to wet the layer of painting on the surface, scald it thoroughly, and then lift it up little by little and then reveal the things below, because there are many layers of rice paper, and there are also unscrupulous merchants who will sell some famous works separately, which is equivalent to a painting becoming two paintings and both paintings are genuine. ”

Hearing this, Wang Dongfang once again raised his own questions.

"How is that possible, paper is paper, it can't be turned into cloth."

"So, this is the technical word, ordinary people can't do this well, and if they are not careful, they will tear the painting, and once they tear the painting, the value of the painting will be greatly reduced. My master is one of the most powerful people in the entire glaze factory, how powerful. You'll find out in a moment. ”

In a blink of an eye, a pot of hot water was boiled, Lan Yigui also opened his eyes at this time, rolled up his sleeves and took the hot water handed by Guishan with a straight face, and then picked up a brush and dipped it in hot water and smeared it on the Qingming Riverside map.

Wang Dongfang, who was unconscious on the side, also closed his mouth at this time, and his two eyes stared at Lan Yigui's movements tightly.

"I'll do it"

looked at Lan Yigui's hard work, but was rejected by Lan Yigui.

"I'll come by myself, this thing must be done by one person, especially this kind of huge work, only in this way can you know the overall situation, if you want to get started, I will leave the two paintings to you, go back and practice your own hands, and meet this situation again on the day of the province.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and after a while, Lan Yigui finished brushing the entire Qingming Riverside Map, and when he turned around, the front of this Qingming Riverside Picture had been completely soaked with hot water.

After doing all this work, the next thing is to see the real kung fu, I saw Lan Yigui stretch out his finger and gently rub it in the corner of the painting a few times, and the already soaked rice paper was rubbed up, pinching this small corner Lan Yigui carefully lifted the rice paper.

Seeing this action, the three people on the side all held their breath, for fear of disturbing Lan Yigui, although this Qingming Shanghe picture on the face is not a precious thing, but it is also drawn by others one by one, if it is not a last resort, Lan Yigui is unwilling to damage the painting on the surface, after all, it will damage his reputation if it is damaged.

When this corner was almost lifted, Lan Yigui put his elbow on the eucalyptus, which is more labor-saving, to deal with a huge work like Qingming Shanghe Garden, without a good physical strength, on the other hand, this can also make Lan Yigui's hand have a support and become more stable.

With Lan Yigui's movements, the layer of rice paper on the surface was revealed little by little, and the things hidden under the layer of rice paper also revealed its true face of Lushan.

】

Looking at the yellowed silk surface, as well as the brushstrokes that were full of Qiu Ying's virtual and real combined painting style, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but cheer silently, hugged Wang Dongfang on the side and kissed him, which startled Wang Dongfang, and looked at Liu Guangqi with a frightened face.

However, Liu Guangqi didn't pay attention to Wang Dongfang's eyes, and leaned over and climbed onto the eucalyptus again. acted as Lan Yigui's assistant,

From noon to midnight, it took a full ten hours, and Lan Yigui finally unveiled this Qingming Riverside map painted by Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty.

What's even more commendable is that even the above imitation of the Republic of China has been preserved intact, Lan Yigui is worthy of being a famous master of the Liuli Factory, if Liu Guangqi is hands-on, he will definitely not be able to do this, let alone it only took ten hours. He couldn't do it if he was given twenty hours.

When the last corner was removed, Lan Yigui's whole body was paralyzed. Looking at Lan Yigui, who was about to collapse on the ground, Liu Guangqi hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party, after all, people are tired like this because of themselves.
