Chapter 373 Not sure

Liu Minghan, who had been carrying the camera to record video, said, "This seems to be a pair of silk."

The poor boss of a large real estate development company can only do the work of a photographer here today.

As soon as he said he wanted to take the scroll, Mr. Liu asked his son to take out the camera. It is best to take a full video so that the file can be retained. If any rare treasure is found in the scroll, the video materials taken can also prove the source of the rare treasure.

Old Liu turned his head and glared at his son, and said angrily: "You don't need to speak, just take a good camera. If there is any missing shot, family law will serve you!"

Liu Minghan shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word.

No one of the old men could care about Liu Minghan's embarrassment at this time, and they focused all their attention on this roll of silk.

Is it a character? Or a painting?

No one knows this time.

But what is certain is that Zhao Lingrang can make such a low-level painting to hide the silk scroll, which is enough to prove that this silk scroll is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"I'm turning it on?" Even Mr. Guo's voice was a little nervous.

Several old men nodded, and then Mr. Guo carefully began to open the silk scroll.

As a result, a small part of the silk roll had just been exposed, and several old men took a breath and turned into a sculpture. Even Mr. Guo couldn't help but stand up straight, staring blankly at the exposed small part and motionless.

As for Liu Minghan, who had been photographing on the side, he seemed stupid.

No wonder these old men have such behavior. It’s because the five words on the small piece of silk that just exposed are too horrible.

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival", five inscriptions on thin gold styles, and there is also a small seal of the Double Dragon under this inscription...

After a long time, Mr. Xiao rushed up like crazy. If Yang Jing hadn't hugged the old man quickly, he might have hit the table with all his head.

Several other old men also started to go crazy, either shaking their heads or rubbing their eyes. Old Huang was wandering around the house like a headless fly...

The whole room is Yang Jing calm, after all, he had known what this silk book was.

Yang Jing held Mr. Xiao, who was still a little crazy, and patted his senior brother Liu Minghan with one hand. After waking up the senior brother from daze, he said loudly: "Four masters, can we calm down? I haven't confirmed whether this painting is true yet!"

Yang Jing said this loudly, and the whole hall was buzzing.

The old men slowly calmed down, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, except Mr. Xiao turned his head and stared at Yang Jing and said, "You kid, why don't you let me go quickly? This is the Qingming River Map! How do you calm me down?"

Okay, this old man seems to be really anxious. No wonder, the master who has been immersed in calligraphy and painting for a lifetime has suddenly seen the inscription "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in thin gold body, and the small seal of the two dragons below. Of course, he can't calm down.

Mr. Liu and Cai Yi came over, and the two hugged Mr. Xiao, which made Mr. Xiao gradually quiet.

After the old men's emotions calmed down, Mr. Guo licked his lips and asked, "Old guys, are you talking about this inscription and this Double Dragon Seal real? My God, if it is true, we can all be honored by thousands of history!"

Mr. Xiao was so angry that he pulled Mr. Guo aside. While putting on white gloves and reading glasses, he picked up a magnifying glass and said, "If it is famous for Qianshi, it is not you, it is Xiaojing, okay? No matter what, this painting was found by Xiaojing."

As he said that, Mr. Xiao held up a magnifying glass and all the other old men surrounded him, which made Liu Minghan ask to remind him: "Don'ts, please leave a gap for me, I have to take a picture."

The old men ignored Liu Minghan's words at all. Yang Jing had no choice but to pull a chair from the side, took the camera from Liu Minghan, and stood on the chair with the camera. He was condescendingly filming the process of Mr. Xiao identifying the five-character inscription and the small seal of the two dragons.

The room was quiet, and no one dared to disturb Mr. Xiao at this time.

After all, there is a volume that is most likely the original painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". At this time, even the big names like Liu Lao and others are like a child who is nervously waiting for grades.

Although I haven't seen the full picture of this painting yet, the painting was taken out of the scroll of "The Great River in Jiangning" painted by Zhao Lingrang. When Mr. Guo took the scroll, he said with great certainty that the "The Great River in Jiangning" has never been mounted twice or three times since it was framed, and it is completely original. In other words, this time alone is enough to prove that this scroll of silk was hidden in the scroll during the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition to the five-character inscription of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in thin gold style and the seal of the two dragons below, this is enough to prove that the silk version just discovered in this volume has more than 90% possibility that it is the original work of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Although the incomplete silk book "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" collected in the Palace Museum is now recognized by Zhang Zeduan, in fact, all these old experts understand that even the incomplete silk book cannot prove that it is the original work of Zhang Zeduan.

After all, in the nine hundred years of history from the Northern Song Dynasty to the modern times, there are as many as thirty or forty versions of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Although some versions have been confirmed who imitated it, more versions have not yet been determined who imitated it. Since that is the case, who can 100% sure that the volume collected in the Palace Museum is the original work of Zhang Zeduan?

The volume of the collection in the Palace Museum is also incomplete. According to many historical books, there should be a section of the original works of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painted the landscape in the remote suburbs, and there is a signature of Song Huizong's thin gold style and the seal of the Double Dragon Seal used in his collection. However, the volume of the collection in the Palace Museum has disappeared.

Moreover, many experts inferred based on various historical books and materials that there should be a part of the original work of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", because the painting should not end suddenly as soon as it entered Kaifeng City, but should be painted until Jinmingchi. Many experts believe that since the painting is named "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", its meaning is to go to the riverside on the Qingming Festival. The residual copy collected by the Palace Museum is the master and servant who are traveling by the willow tree at the end of the picture. It can be regarded as the protagonist of reverie, so the meaning of the name "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" can be fully interpreted.

But no matter what, the book collection of the Palace Museum is very incomplete, and there is also a saying in historical materials that "five feet after losing their money". Moreover, the most important five-character inscription and the small seal of the Double Dragon were missing, which makes it even more impossible to prove that the book collection is the original work of Zhang Zeduan.

But although many people know this, no one dares to mention it...

Suddenly, such a silk book appeared in the circle of eyes, and it was taken from the scroll of the paintings of the famous Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhao Lingrang. Although only a small part was opened, the five-character inscriptions and the small seals of the two dragons at the beginning all proved the true identity of the silk book.

"Dangdangdang..." The sound of the ground-falling clock suddenly rang in the silent hall. Time had already arrived at ten o'clock in the evening without realizing it.

Accompanied by these ten sudden bells, the originally solemn atmosphere that was about to drip out of water suddenly relaxed.

Mr. Xiao raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "I'm so nervous. I'm afraid I've never been so nervous in my life. He made it, and when I'm old, I'm actually a little numb."

The old men all laughed, and the tense atmosphere in the room became even more dimmer.

Senior brother Liu Minghan asked: "Uncle Xiao, how did you identify it? Are this inscription and this seal true?"

Old Xiao glared at Liu Minghan with anger, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm not sure. Although I'm 100% sure in my heart that these five-character inscriptions and the small seal of the Double Dragon are the original works of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, I'm sure it's not OK alone. This involves too much... Lao Huang, why don't you come and have a look?"

Mr. Huang did not refuse, put on gloves and reading glasses, took the magnifying glass from Mr. Xiao's hand, and went up.

After a while, Mr. Huang stood up in sweat and said, "My opinion is the same as that of Lao Xiao. The five-character inscription and the small seal of the two dragons should be the original work."

After a pause, Mr. Huang continued, "What Lao Xiao said was very correct just now. If you change the painting, it would be enough to have Lao Xiao's identification. But even if we stack this painting, we would not dare to make a decision! It would be better to organize other colleagues in the hospital to take a look. If Mr. Mu can be invited to take a look, it would be safer."

Mr. Mu, who Huang Lao said, is an older generation master who specializes in ancient calligraphy and painting at the Palace Museum. Although she is a woman, she is the top master in ancient calligraphy and painting.

Mr. Mu also came at the apprenticeship ceremony this morning, but she went back without even attending the lunch.

Hearing Mr. Huang say this, several old men nodded. In the face of such a major event, it is very necessary to organize a considerable number of experts to appraise together. After all, this involves "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.

Yang Jing said, "Four masters, Mr. Huang, why don't we talk about the appraisal? Let's take a look at the full picture of this painting first."

Yang Jing's words were immediately approved by everyone, and Mr. Guo continued to carefully open the silk book.

Not to mention, maybe it is because this silk is always hidden in the scroll, so it is preserved very well. Except for the color of the silk that fades due to time, the painting is very good in other aspects.

The beginning of this painting is indeed a remote suburb landscape, which is similar to the situation inferred by many experts. Then, after opening it down, the content of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that everyone is familiar with. However, at the end of this scroll of silk, there is still an additional length of about 1.5 meters. The picture on it is the scene where the master and servant who were traveling finally came to the river.

After the silk scroll was opened, it was seven and a half meters long, which was more than two meters more than the broken book collected by the Palace Museum. It also proves the saying "five feet after losing" in historical materials. The most important thing is that the silk scroll in front of you is extremely complete, and the overall style layout and painting techniques are obviously better than the broken book in the Palace Museum.
