Chapter 80
"What's wrong?" Jian'er was confused by Lu Zong's eyes.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Zong had to sigh for his master's good luck: "Reply to the lady, I'll tell you that this picture has really been seen in the lower body, and it has a lot of connections with me..." Lu Zong paused for a moment and then said, "I'd like to ask the lady to leave first. When the lady sees something, she will naturally understand."
After saying that, Lu Zong bowed to Jian'er and retreated.
Jian'er was confused. What was going on? But it seemed that this painting seemed to have something to do with Lu Zong. It seemed that this time he could still understand Jin Xiu's entanglement clearly.
With just one cup of kung fu, Lu Zong came back with something in his hand. It looked like it was a scroll. Lu Zong stood in front of Jian'er and carefully placed the scroll in his hand next to Jian'er's previous "Crow Formation Picture".
Instead of unfolding the scroll he brought, Lu Zong stood up and said, "Miss has carefully read the "Crow Formation Picture" you bought?"
Jian'er's face turned red: "I looked at it, but I didn't see the reason. I just heard from my friend Jinxiu that this painting is a bit evil." With the blessing of physical changes, Jian'er can't say that everything can be remembered, but as long as you keep some snacks and remember it, it's a problem of wood formation, so now you can talk about Jinxiu's words without any pressure!
"She said that Tang Bohu's paintings really like to use thick ink to render them. However, the strange graphite color on this painting is very light, and there is no feeling of ink. In terms of style, it is not like Tang Bohu's work, but these parts are also there." Jian'er continued, and learned to paint the picture with Jinxiu for a few strokes. "It is said that these brush styles are still subtle differences with his brush style, and the whole thing looks like they were painted together by two people."
After saying that, Jian'er looked at Lu Zong with a gaze, not knowing whether what she said was right. She showed off in front of the experts, hoping not to say that she was ugly.
After listening to Jian'er's words, Lu Zong touched his short beard and lit up with satisfaction: "No, not bad. The lady, that friend, has some vision."
Hearing this, Jian'er couldn't help but thrust her chest, looking proud. In her heart, there was no difference between praising Jinxiu and praising her.
But Lu Zong then said, "Except for the places you are surrounded by, I wonder if your friend has said that other places are different from the style of Tang Bohu's paintings?"
Jian'er thought about it and shook her head. She had never heard Jinxiu say that.
Lu Zong smiled slightly: "The style and techniques are the same as those of Tang Bohu. There are no traces of fakes, even inscriptions. She doesn't find any strange things?"
After thinking about it, I recalled what Jinxiu kept muttering on the road when she came back, "It would rather be fake than real than real" and what is evil. It shouldn't be bought... I've been muttering all the way.
But now it seems that Lu Zong does not agree with this. "Is it a repair?" Jian'er heard that if the paintings are defective, then the works that will be reframed during repairs, and the missing parts will be filled with the pen and color. This may indeed be the case.
As soon as this idea came out, Jian'er could no longer hold back. She almost pointed her eyes on the painting and wanted to look carefully.
The more you look at Jian'er's forehead, the more fog, she believes that even Jian'er, whose physique has not changed before, has a standard 1.5. If you ask her if her eyes are sharp enough, Jian'er will definitely raise her head and reply, and her eyes will definitely be very good.
But now, no matter how much she looks at this painting, she doesn’t find any defects?
Looking at Jian'er's appearance, Lu Zong couldn't help laughing. This was really interesting for his own lady.
Suddenly, Jian'er seemed to think of something: "It's so terrible, I can't use it even if I have tools." He took out the necessary equipment for those who play ancient people - a high-power magnifying glass. It's really good. He even forgot to use the work he specially prepared. It's so stupid...
"Hehe, I don't believe it. You can even see the small wounds of plastic surgery with this thing, but you can't see a small painting of yours." After saying that, he proudly picked up his killer weapon and put it on.
After looking carefully for a while, Jian'er said uncertainly: "It seems that something is posted on it? It's a bit unreal under this high-power magnifying glass. I really don't know who it is. This is really a bit tricky!"
Under such a high-power magnifying glass, Jian'er's eyesight was so careful that the trace seemed to be present and not sure. If he really tried his best, the man's skills would be too deep. No wonder Jian'er sighed repeatedly.
This time, Lu Zong finally laughed with satisfaction, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Miss, I have such a good eye! That's right, what this painting needs is not to make up for the shortcomings, but to get rid of what you posted before."
There was something really posted, Jian'er was amazed: "Whose craftsmanship is so awesome!"
"Thank you for your praise, Miss." Lu Zong bowed.
Jian'er couldn't help but open her eyes wide, no, could it be...
Lu Zong nodded, indicating that Jian'er's guess was correct.
"I really didn't expect it." Lu Zong couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't thought about it for a thousand years. I still can see it. I didn't expect that one day the "Crow Formation Picture" would be the day when the broken mirror reunites." After saying this, Lu Zong suddenly took a few steps forward and unfolded the painting he had placed before.
With Lu Zong's actions, Jian'er couldn't believe her eyes. What did she see? A "twins" painting appeared! Jian'er compared every detail, but found that most of the two paintings were completely unmatched. She opened her mouth wide in surprise, what did she see?
Lu Zong smiled slightly from the side, looking at Jian'er in a bad mood, and enjoying being scared to her.
Seeing Jian'er's surprise look satisfied and caressed her treasures, Lu Zong then revealed the whole story.
"These two "Crow Formation Pictures" come from the same painting."
A big question mark appeared in Jian'er's eyes. These two "Crow Formation Pictures" came from the same painting? What does this mean?
Knowing that Jian'er is an amateur, she can't understand many things. So Lu Zong also became patient and said carefully: "We often use rice paper as materials when painting. Miss, can you know that this rice paper is made in layers, that is, a finished piece of rice paper can be split into at least two or three layers, while those good and thick rice paper can even be split into dozens of layers."
With wide eyes, Jian'er couldn't believe what she had heard just now. No, such a thin piece of paper has such great knowledge and complex processes. A piece of paper may have been split into dozens of layers. If it weren't for the words being said from Lu Zong, the authentic Lu Zong's lineage, Jian'er would have thought that this was an ancient (made up).
After getting Lu Zong's affirmative look again, Jian'er was already looking at the "Crow Formation Picture" with admiration. It's amazing!
After Lu Zong said this, his eyes seemed to be distant, as if he was recalling something. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Lu Zong continued: "It's really fate. I still remember that I found this "Crow Formation Picture" in the antique shop that day, so I hurriedly took it to a friend who was close friends. But when I first entered his house, I saw the same "Crow Formation Picture" as the one I saw. At that time, my first reaction was that one of us must have had a slash ("slash" usually means that the buyer bought a collection that was not worth this price or bought fakes at a higher price). But I didn't expect that later, I waited to carefully and found that the two paintings were exactly the same!"
Drink! This is interesting! Jian'er's eyes became excited.
"After we carefully discussed it, we finally came to an amazing conclusion, that is, it is possible that the "Crow Formation" painted by Tang Bohu was revealed...
"Revealing the painting? What does that mean?" Jian'er asked curiously.
"Isn't it said before that this rice paper can be layered, and it is precisely because of the characteristics of rice paper that once such good paintings are in the hands of bad merchants, they will split the original work. In this way, a work will become two. A more kind person is just divided into two. The unkind one can simply cut the layers, and the layers can be cut out." Lu Zong couldn't help but sigh at this point.
You should know that even if the calligraphy and paintings are thin, they can be thickened with rice paper. In this way, even if the color is not as good as the original work, you can only ask the master to draw the original paintings and then use the old method to make it old. It will naturally become the original work for ordinary people. Therefore, many unhonest mounting craftsmen often use this method to steal other people's calligraphy and paintings, which also makes many collectors hate it.
Because the biggest harm of painting is that the painting is no longer original. In this way, it will become very fragile. Once the painting is damp or stored for a long time, it will easily deform, rot, and even fall off on the mounting... It is for these reasons that few paintings can be passed down. Even if there are, they will probably be considered fakes, or are not valued, or are put on the shelf. Few people will think that it is paintings. Not to mention that they can be so lucky to have the paintings that are all together.
"What do you mean is that this painting of Tang Bohu's "Crow Formation" has been revealed? And it has been passed down to this day?" After pausing, Jian'er said again: "That's not right, why did you tamper with another painting?"
Lu Zong continued: "Yes, this "Crow Formation Picture" was revealed. But thankfully, from all aspects, the original painting was only revealed in two parts, so it was just divided into two parts. Otherwise, if it were removed into very thin paintings, cracks, wrinkles and other situations would have long been there, so how can we keep them intact until now?"
