The Richest Man Yang Fei

The picture of Qiu Ying's lady that she had longed for slowly unfolded in front of the Luo sisters.

This painting has indeed been framed by Fu Heng.

As for the reason for unmounting it, of course it was not to verify Luo Yuxi's words. One was to verify whether the painting had been unmounted, and the other was to better protect the painting.

Peeling refers to one of the processes in which calligraphy and paintings that have been mounted need to be re-mounted due to their age, that is, the heart of the painting is peeled off the old mounting, and then re-mounted.

Rice paper is made in layers. An ordinary piece of rice paper can be split into two or three layers, and a good and thick sandwich can even be split into dozens of layers.

Since the Ming Dynasty, calligraphy and painting have mostly been done on rice paper.

Because rice paper has a longer life than silk and has this unique property.

Once ancient calligraphy and paintings made with rice paper are in the hands of merchants, they will split the original work into as many layers as possible, and then use rice paper to mount each split layer to thicken it.

In this way, one work becomes two or even more.

It's just that the color of each layer after splitting, even the top layer, is not as good as the original. The forger needs to trace and fill it separately according to the original, and then use fumigation to make it old, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Dishonest framers often use this method to steal other people's paintings and calligraphy, so when sending famous paintings and calligraphy to be framed, you must clearly see the other party's background and strength.

The technique of peeling off and mounting is complicated, and ordinary mounting masters cannot do it without professional training. A little carelessness may cause irreparable losses.

Therefore, when it is necessary to remove the frame, you must have an understanding of the technical level of the framer.

"People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." Beautiful paintings need gorgeous coats to decorate and protect them, and framers are the ones who specialize in making wedding dresses for famous paintings.

Even if an ancient painting is severely damaged, it can be brought back to life in the hands of a framer. This cannot but make people admire the superb skills of the framer.

If old paintings and calligraphy cannot be re-mounted, try not to unmount them, because every time they are unmounted, they have to go through multiple processes such as hot water scalding, water rinsing, chemical mildew removal and repair, and full coloring, etc., which takes a lot of time. , these will undoubtedly cause great damage to ancient calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, the ancients once said that old paintings and calligraphy should not be re-framed unless they are in such a state of tatters that "butterflies are dancing".

Fu Heng is the master of the antique shop. Unmounting is really a trivial matter for him.

After Fu Heng's careful verification, he confirmed that the painting was indeed Qiu Ying's original work, and that it had never been hacked.

At this moment, Fu Heng slowly unfolded the heart of the painting that had been taken off.

Luo Yuxi's attention was not on the painting.

She asked Yang Fei: "Mr. Yang, after you took off the mounting, what about the original backing?"

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Mr. Fu said that the mounted back is also an object from the Ming Dynasty and has collection value, so we treasured it."

Luo Yuxi said: "I bought this painting, please give me the original mounting back as well."

Yang Fei said: "Hey, Miss Luo, you buy paintings when you buy them. What do you want to do with that tattered frame back?"

Luo Yuxi smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me that mounted backs also have collection value?"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you together."

If you buy it for 880,000 yuan, it can be sold for 100 million yuan. This business is certainly a good deal.

No fool would do it!

Although Qiu Ying's paintings are precious, they are not so rare that they would not be sold for 100 million yuan.

Yang Fei sells this painting, and with 100 million yuan, he can collect many other antiques.

Fu Heng took out the original framed back and unfolded it for Luo Yuxi to see.

Luo Yuxi wanted to reach out for the painting.

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Miss Luo,

It can only be viewed from a distance, not played up close. Be careful to damage the antique. "

Luo Yuxi said quietly: "My family has been in the antique business for generations, and I know more about antiques than you!"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "Really? I thought your family only makes soy sauce!"

Luo Yuxi said: "So, you also know that my family makes soy sauce."

Yang Fei said: "Ashamed, I only found out yesterday."

Luo Yuxi looked at the painting and the mounted back, but didn't find the treasure map her brother mentioned, so she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Mr. Yang, are all the original contents of the painting here?" Luo Yuxi asked.

Yang Fei said: "Didn't you say that you know more about antiques than me? You can tell just by looking at it. What is included in the frame of a painting? Can you see if there is anything missing?"

Fu Heng said: "Miss Luo, not only do you know about antiques, I also know about it! In the art of mounting, I, Fu, am the second best, but no one in the world dares to be the first! Are you doubting my skills in mounting?"

Luo Yuxi said: "Mr. Fu is an expert in antiques. Of course I approve of your skills in mounting."

She thought for a while, walked aside, called Luo Zhihao, and explained to him in a low voice that the painting had been unframed.

Luo Zhihao said in shock: "The painting has been unmounted? Where is the treasure map inside?"

Luo Yuxi said: "The heart of the painting has not been touched, and the back of the frame is also intact. Fu Heng's unmounting skills are truly unparalleled in the world! I just don't know where to put the treasure map? In the center of the painting and on the back of the frame. Between? Or put it on the back of the frame? Or inside the heart of the painting?"

Framing has multiple layers.

In the past there were usually four floors.

Modern people are not so particular about it, but there are still three levels.

Therefore, Luo Yuxi asked her brother which floor the treasure map was hidden on.

If it was hidden between the center of the painting and the back of the frame, it must have been discovered and taken away by Yang Fei!

Luo Zhihao said: "I don't know either."

"Then ask dad."

"Dad, like me, doesn't know that the only grandpa who knew this secret has passed away."

"What should we do? Do we still want to buy this painting? Yang Fei has already agreed to sell it."

Luo Zhihao sneered: "One hundred million! He still won't sell it? He still wants to keep the cubs?"

Luo Yuxi turned around, glanced at Yang Fei who was not far away, and then said: "Brother, then you decide, do you want to buy it?"

Luo Zhihao said: "Test Yang Fei to see if he knows about the treasure map! Our main purpose is to get the treasure map."

Luo Yuxi said: "What if he knows there is a treasure map inside and refuses to sell it to us?"

Luo Zhihao was stunned and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

After a while, he said: "Sister, you are so smart, you can figure it out!"

"..."

One hundred million!

What should I do?

What if you buy a painting and there is no treasure map in it?

What if you ask Yang Fei directly, and Yang Fei is cheating and won’t sell it?

Tangled ah!

Luo Yuxi slowly put down her phone, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and walked back to the table.

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Miss Luo, do you want to buy it or not? If not, I will put it away. Mr. Fu will take it to Beijing tomorrow and seal it in a safe. If you want to see it again, you will have to wait until my museum Opened for business.”

After Luo Yuxi thought twice, she decided to ask Yang Fei.

"Mr. Yang, there is a drawing in the middle of this painting. I wonder if you have seen it?" She said while staring at Yang Fei closely. From the corner of her eye, she also glanced at Fu Heng for fear of missing it. detail.

Yang Fei laughed and said: "Miss Luo, what's wrong? Do you think this painting will give birth to a baby? There is a child in it?"

Luo Yuxi couldn't help but laugh and cry when she thought about what her brother had said just now, "Keep the cubs alive."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Yuxi said: "Mr. Yang, I'm asking, is there any other paper between the center of the painting and the back of the frame? Either a separate piece of paper, or a piece of paper glued on top."

Yang Fei said: "Miss Luo, what are you looking for? I can't understand it when it's so cloudy and foggy!"

Luo Yuxi frowned slightly and bit her lips, wondering if she should tell the truth?
