The two parties signed a contract, which is also a normal operation, after all, such a precious ancient calligraphy and painting, what if you are framed and repackaged?

After all, Zhang Yaohua and Uncle Qin have just met, and they don't know what their character is.

In fact, even if you are familiar, you have to sign such a contract. In the face of huge interests, no relationship is solid.

Uncle Qin understood, so he took the initiative to propose it.

His only request was to preserve a copy of the video and photographic materials, and to allow him to discuss and study the ancient calligraphy and paintings with others after Zhang Yaohua took them away.

Zhang Yaohua agreed.

There is no need to hide it, is it possible that if you get such treasures, you will not see the light of day in the future? That's so boring.

Uncle Qin's mood, he can also understand.

When encountering this kind of ink treasure, everyone wants to find out whether it is genuine or not.

"So be it! Before I was still in the capital, I asked Boss Qin to keep it secret, and after I left, then I left it as you wanted. ”

Uncle Qin nodded again and again: "No problem!" Thank you very much. ”

Wang Yuanchao was reluctant to leave, in order to observe and appreciate the "Lanting Collection Preface", he stayed in Uncle Qin's store today and tomorrow.

And Uncle Qin, as long as this guy doesn't hinder him from doing things, he doesn't care about him.

The next day, Zhang Yaohua took his family to climb the Great Wall. When it was over, I went to pick up the reframed painting and the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection.

In five days, Zhang Yaohua and they all went to almost the more famous check-in points in the capital.

The old man said that he had no regrets in this life.

Zhang Yuanhang's three little ones are starting to miss their parents a little. This time, they are very happy to eat, drink and have fun, as long as it is not a high-quality behavior, Zhang Yaohua will not stop them.

"If you have something to do, you can get busy, and we'll just go back by ourselves." Zhang's father said.

Zhang Yaowu also nodded: "That's right!" Big brother, go get busy! I'll get you all home safely. ”

The old man spoke: "How many of us adults can still ask you to take care of it?" What is there to worry about? ”

So, Zhang Yaohua sent a few people on the plane, and also notified his hometown and asked them to drive to pick them up. And he himself immediately boarded a plane to other cities.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Uncle Qin shared the news of the suspected authenticity of the "Lanting Collection Preface" with his friends on the back foot, and asked someone to study those photos and other materials together.

At this time, it quickly spread in the circle, causing a shock.

Most people think it's a joke.

After all, it was the first calligraphy treasure that had been lost for thousands of years!

I'm afraid that someone didn't deliberately want to win attention and spread this kind of fake news, right?

Uncle Qin's shop welcomed a lot of people, including a master in the field of calligraphy and painting, the former director of the National Museum, Director Bai, and a Taishan in the collecting world, surnamed Ma.

"There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" Uncle Qin greeted.

Wang Yuanchao didn't leave, Uncle Qin deliberately left him behind.

After all, Wang Yuanchao is also one of the discoverers of "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", and he witnessed the reappearance of that work throughout the whole process, and he needs to tell everyone about it.

In addition, Uncle Qin can also be regarded as helping Wang Yuanchao expand his connections and get to know the seniors and old qualifications in the circle, which will be beneficial to his future development.

Don't look at Wang Yuanchao, who has been playing this industry for many years, but he still hasn't come into contact with the top circles in this industry.

"Boss Qin, excuse me. What about the works? Can it be an eye-opener? Director Bai said.

Uncle Qin smiled bitterly: "The original is no longer with me, they just asked me to frame it, and keep it secret for him before he leaves the capital." Now, there is a high probability that it is no longer in the capital.

However, I have left a lot of information for you to refer to and study.

It is hidden in a painting from the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, indicating that even if it is not the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, it is definitely a copy of the Song Dynasty and before. ”

After speaking, he put those materials in front of everyone, all of which were magnified and clear photos.

At the same time, Wang Yuanchao was also asked to tell in detail the process of getting the "Lanting Collection Preface".

When the people present heard it, it turned out to be Pan Jiayuan's receipt, and they immediately looked at each other. Based on these words, they are almost certain that, even if it is not Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, it is definitely a very valuable copy.

After all, can it be hidden in one of Zhao Mengfu's paintings, can it be simple?

Before this, many people suspected that "Lanting Collection Preface" should be in Li Shimin's mausoleum. But that's just speculation, after all, the final record of "Lanting Collection Preface" was obtained by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin liked "Lanting Collection Preface" very much, and he was taken to be buried with him after his death, and there was no problem at all.

Once, in order to see the true face of "Lanting Collection Preface", Guo Moruo wanted to instigate the country to dig up Li Shimin's mausoleum, but he did not succeed.

"Little brother, can you introduce your friend to me?" The collector surnamed Ma asked kindly.

He really wanted to see the style of "Lanting Collection Preface".

To be honest, I didn't touch the original, and it was very difficult to determine whether it was genuine or not by relying on these clear photos. You can't say anything positive when you come to any connoisseur.

"Then I'll have to ask first, if ......"

"Don't worry! If you don't force it, then please ask. After a while, I have an exchange meeting, little brother, you can also participate! ”

Wang Yuan was overjoyed: "It must arrive, it must arrive!" Thank you for your care. ”

After studying for a long time, everyone can be sure that this is definitely a work of the Song Dynasty and before the Song Dynasty, but it cannot be sure that it is genuine or a facsimile.

Respected by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there are many calligraphers who copy the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface".

Those facsimiles, even if they are not as good as Wang Xizhi's authentic works, will not be too bad, and they are also rare ink treasures.

"It's a pity that I can't see the original, so I don't dare to determine." Director Bai is very sorry.

He turned his head to look at Wang Yuanchao: "Little brother, if you can, also help me introduce your friend." ”

At this time, Wang Yuanchao finally received Zhang Yaohua's reply.

He said happily: "Yes, but you estimate that you will have to go south to find him, and it will take a few days, he has been out of town for these two days, and he has no time." ”

"That's no problem! Thanks a lot! ”

Curator Bai is ready to lead a team of senior experts in ancient calligraphy and painting identification to the south.

It must be clarified whether it is Wang Xizhi's true handiwork. Otherwise, don't say you can't sleep, and you won't be able to die in the future!

For more than 1,000 years, the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" has been regarded as a masterpiece of calligraphy, and its loss is an important loss of Chinese culture. Finding it is of great significance.

Of course, Director Bai also understands that it is unrealistic to want people to donate to the museum and hand it over to the state. It's okay for those experts to fool and fool ordinary people.

If you want to take it back, you have to pay for it.

There is no law in the country that explicitly stipulates that you need to hand over a national treasure to get it, so you can't force it.

The best thing is to talk to the other person.

If it is really Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, they are not at ease with private collection.

Although the museum also has many slots, at least the museum is professional in keeping cultural relics.

No one should be able to argue with this.
