"There are only a few commonly used, and peony paintings are made of half-cooked bitter main paper." Ren Zixian answered her.

Qin Yiyi looked at the rice paper in the glass cabinet: "But the rice paper in here is not marked with a name, how can we tell the difference?" ”

Ren Zixian looked for a glass cabinet and a glass cabinet, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took out a stack of slightly yellowed paper from inside: "This is the bitter main paper, handmade pure bamboo, you see, there are curtain patterns on it." ”

Qin Yiyi looked at it with some understanding: "Then let's just use this one, right?" ”

"No," Ren Zixian put the stack of paper back, "This is new paper, the paper bought back then can't be used back then, and the fire in it must be poured out before it can be used for calligraphy and painting repair." It's better like this. ”

Ren Zixian took out a stack of paper from the next layer and handed it to Qin Yiyi: "You compare, in addition to the color is more yellow and oxidized, the degree of softness and hardness is also different, this change is not easy to achieve through subsequent operations, so the easiest way is to buy all kinds of paper for storage." ”

Qin Yiyi was dumbfounded, and rubbed the rice paper on her fingers: "It seems to be different......

"There is also this kind of rough-edged paper, which is generally used to repair literature, and then we can use ...... when we repair medical books."

"So much rice paper?"

"Yes, not only wood is used to make it, but also reeds, grass stalks, and even animal skins can be used to make rice paper," Ren Zixian locked the glass cabinet, "Every dynasty has famous and precious paper, such as sprinkled gold wax paper, Xuande tribute paper...... Different papers also have different repair techniques......"

"You know a lot." Qin Yiyi originally thought that Ren Zixian was the straw bag sent in by Lin Qingsong through the back door, but she didn't expect to be more handy than her.

Ren Zixian made a movement in his hand, and then locked the cabinet door with a snap: "Someone taught me." ”

The two came back with rice paper, and Zeng Rong didn't know where to go for a long time.

Qin Yiyi muttered as she took the spraying can.

"Wait a minute," Ren Zixian stopped her, "at this time, you can't clean it directly." ”

"Why?" Qin Yiyi tilted her head, "Didn't you say let's wash the paintings?" ”

Washing a painting is a tedious and error-free task, and only after cleaning can we initially judge how many potential diseases the painting has.

But what is more important is to do the work before washing the painting.

"I've seen the picture and it's been badly broken." Ren Zixian rolled up his sleeves, "What I need to do now is to remove the mounting piece and replace it with a new one." ”

Ren Zixian registered all the basic information of the peony map on the current status of cultural relics, including the length and width of the painting heart, and the basic size of the mounting.

"The process of restoring cultural relics should leave as many traces as possible, so that you can not only protect the cultural relics, but also protect yourself." Let Qin Yiyi record in turn.

Immediately after that, he did not hesitate to cut off the mounting piece, leaving only the heart of the painting.

"Can I wash my paintings now?" Qin Yiyi saw that Ren Zi was slow, "If you don't start doing it, you won't be able to catch up with the report." ”

"What do you think your tutor will ask you in your opening defense?" Ren Zi asked calmly.

"Huh?" Qin Yiyi thought for a while, "It's nothing more than the preparatory work for repair, what kind of problems may be encountered, what kind of way are you going to solve them?" ”

"Yes," Ren Zixian took a large plate, "how many frames to cut, which colors to use, and even the original state of the work, and what efforts have been made to repair the old as old in the later period." ”

"Ah, do you want to ask such details?" Qin Yiyi was already confused, shouldn't she solve the problem when she encountered it?

"So it's equivalent to how to repair it first, so that we can find a solution to the problem," Ren Zixian straightened up, "Fortunately, although we have a lot of paintings, the problems are very clear and clear, and the senior sister's group is not optimistic." ”

"So what are we going to do now?" Qin Yiyi asked.

"You have to mix the colors and adjust the rice paper to the same background color as this painting, so that you can wash the painting."

"Huh?"

For the next whole day, Ren Zixian sat at the table to adjust the colors, and she had no art skills, so she could only adjust them over and over again.

"The original background color of this painting should have tended to be a darker yellow, but it should now be burnt yellow after years of oxidation." After adjusting a color, he evenly applied it to the rice paper strip and handed it to Qin Yiyi, "Go and dry it with a hair dryer." ”

"I'm so tired, I think I've tried it a hundred times! Why hasn't this color been adjusted yet? Qin Yiyi lay on the table, "It's already eleven o'clock, can I go home?" Why hasn't the senior come back yet? ”

"He won't come back," Ren Zixian blew two breaths and dried the small note, "He handed us the painting, that is, let us do all the preliminary work, to put it bluntly, these three works, including the production of the defense, are all handed over to us." ”

As Ren Zixian expected, since they were asked to wash their paintings, Zeng Rong began to be lazy, saying that today he had a back pain, and tomorrow he said that he had a cold, and he even took sick leave for several days in a row.

Professor Mo Wen didn't care about these trivial matters, almost all the burdens were on Ren Zixian and Qin Yiyi, and he was stuck in the laboratory almost every morning when he opened his eyes.

"Use a row brush dipped in warm water of 70 or 80 degrees and sprinkle it carefully on the painting," he said, holding a basin in one hand and a brush in the other, and operating slowly.

Qin Yiyi originally studied the restoration of oil paintings abroad, and this is the first time she has seen the restoration of ancient paintings and calligraphy: "Why are you so skilled?" Did you really transfer in across disciplines? ”

At first, she didn't disdain Ren Zixian, who was a monk halfway, but after getting along for a few days, Qin Yiyi, who was not originally a major in ancient painting and calligraphy restoration, had already regarded Ren Zixian as her backbone.

Ren Zixian explained: "Washing dusty ancient books with warm water can increase the toughness of the hydrogen bonds in the fibers while the water flow will remove the brown dirt. ”

The defense includes research, writing a literature review, and compiling sections.

Dealing with cultural relics requires not only craftsmanship, but also the support of documents.

Not all operations can be directly applied to cultural relics, so even if new ideas are wild, you have to settle down before you start.

Let their side proceed according to the plan step by step, but on the other hand, it is not easy for Li Shangshang's group.

Because the hearts of the flowers and birds are glued together for a long time, the traditional water stuffing method can be operated, but it takes too long, and a week is far from enough.

What's more, although the water stuffiness method is traditional, the slightest carelessness will damage the heart of the painting, so Li Shangshang has almost gone through all the papers on the life paper.

Li Shangshang led a team to do the restoration for the first time, of course, he wanted to be perfect, and spent two full days looking through all the ancient books that could be recorded.

The attitude has also changed from the initial vow to the present at a loss.

Ren Zixian guessed that Professor Mo Wen's original idea was to let the six of them complete the work together, no matter how huge the amount of work, it would be enough for six people to complete the unveiling of the painting together.

But Li Shangshang still has to take care of everything, and there is no other possibility except for inviting credit.

When night fell, Ren Zixian, who had just been immersed in the work of washing paintings, looked up and saw Qin Yiyi still sitting in a pile of materials.

Ren Zixian: "Senior sister, haven't you left yet?" Haven't you done a debunking yet? ”

Li Shangshang smiled bitterly: "There are methods, but they can't guarantee the integrity of the picture, I have also tried a variety of reagents, but they are not very good, I am worried, but there is still time, if there is no fresh method, I can only use the traditional stupid method to reveal it little by little." ”

"Senior sister, why don't you go and ask Professor Mo Wen?" Ren Zixian proposed, although she had a little clue, if she told Li Shangshang now, it would make her feel that Ren Zixian underestimated her

Li Shangshang is so ambitious, and if he wants a perfect and novel plan to surprise the professor, he naturally will not easily consult the professor.

"Senior sister, don't be too stressed, even if you can't do it, you will be scolded by the professor." Ren Zixian glanced at the time, "I'll leave first, senior sister." ”

Li Shangshang is sitting in an empty laboratory, she has been studying for three years, and if she can't come up with an innovative and practical paper, then she really has no chance with Professor Mo Wen's doctoral students.

She looked at Ren Zixian's back, this freshman had already entered Professor Mo Wen's research room exceptionally, so maybe the leader of the defense team would not be able to take her turn next time.

In any case, Professor Mo Wen must see his own value in this defense.

Li Shangshang turned two more pages of the book in annoyance, and then slapped it on the page with a bang.

No one in the family supports Li Shangshang's study of cultural relics restoration, which is a profession that rich people can do.

Li Shangshang has no connections, no resources, and only one enthusiasm can fight until now.

Professor Mo Wen's major is that the gold medal of Yanda is good, but there are very few people who can actually go from the campus to the museum.

Li Shangshang's classmates are basically the only ones who are still studying for graduate school in this major.

If she can't come up with an excellent resume, then she can only be eliminated professionally!

Li Shangshang took a deep breath and secretly made a decision......

As night fell, it was already winter, and the Jinhai Villa was unusually quiet, with a hint of chill in the air.

Ren Zixian was assigned too much work, and it was already late when he got home.

In the dark room, only Xiao Gui pounced and wagged his tail at her.

Ren Zixian picked up Xiao Gui and was relieved to see that Lin Qingsong did not come back.

Since moving here, Lin Qingsong has to come to her almost every few days, and he has to deal with Lin Qingsong after working during the day.

The frequency of looking for her once a month was very good before, and both parties solved their needs, but now there are some delays.

The decision to move to Gimhae was too hasty, so if you move back now......

Ren Zixian hesitated, Lin Qingsong is Lin Xuedi's elder brother, not to mention that he is still the real ruler of the Lin Group, and some things are smoother for Lin Qingsong to come forward than for her own students to come forward.

Let yourself sigh and talk about moving away......
