Han Kongque shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this."
"No?" Wei Changqing was disappointed again.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Don't be so disappointed. I just want to remind you that the painting outside, which doesn't look clear, may be a good thing."
"This painting outside that you can't see clearly? Huh? You really can't see it clearly. Could it be that this is an unveiling painting?" Wei Changqing became more and more excited as he looked at it.
Han Kongque said: "I think it's better for me to do it! Whether it's Beijing mounting or Su mounting, the techniques are similar. I've seen a master handle this kind of painting. It shouldn't harm the bamboo and stone painting outside."
"Haha, it's true. This picture of bamboo and stone must have been peeled off from one of them. Without the contrast of the picture inside, the picture on the outside would be hard to see clearly. This is the main feature of the unveiling painting."
After a while, Wei Changqing was happy.
Zhaodong ignored Wei Changqing who was dancing excitedly, but looked at Han Peacock: "I didn't expect Xiao Han that you can also frame it?"
"I know a little bit," Han Kongque said modestly.
In fact, no matter which school you belong to, the core framing techniques are almost the same. This is thanks to the rules passed down from generation to generation in the framing industry.
The paste used during mounting can be melted when exposed to water, so that future generations can re-reveal the heart of the painting when needed.
As for Han Kongque's water control ability, he said it was second, but no one dared to say it was first. In addition, he had actually encountered such a situation before, so he was so confident.
Zhaodong Ke said with a smile at this time: "The person who framed the painting was so thoughtful that he actually thought of using an authentic painting of Zheng Banqiao to cover up the painting inside. Since the painting was a cover-up, it was already thin, so it was even more difficult to see.
Once it comes out, most people will not even think about the painting. There will be a painting hidden underneath. If not, how can the color of the painting below be displayed so easily?"
Hearing what Zhaodong said, Han Kongque and Wei Changqing looked at each other. They had never thought of this at the time. But when they thought about it, it was indeed true. If the upper layer of the painting was not too thin, it would not be easy for them to discover that there was something hidden underneath.
painting, because that would not show the color of the painting below.
However, if a complete painting is used to hide the inner painting, then can they still use them to discover the thickened painting?
Thinking of this, Wei Changqing couldn't help but cursed secretly, how unreliable those people were. They actually made it full of flaws. If the thing inside was genuine, I'm afraid they wouldn't have dealt with it like this.
"Changqing, when the painting is unveiled later, it may cause damage to the painting. What is your plan?" Zhaodong asked Wei Changqing.
Wei Changqing said: "I believe in Brother Han. Brother Han, you can figure it out."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't destroy it for you. If I didn't think it was a pity that such a painting was damaged, I really wouldn't do it."
Upon hearing this, Zhaodong knew that Han Kongque was really good at this craft, so he immediately said: "Xiao Han, you have a good attitude, not only in calligraphy and painting, but also in dealing with other antiques. In situations like this, we still
We should preserve the ones with low value as much as possible, because these are also the crystallization of the sweat and art of our ancestors, and we must protect them if we have the conditions."
"As long as you don't doubt my level." Han Kongque said with a smile.
Looking at Han Kongque's confident look, Zhaodong said: "Changqing, go and boil a pot of water quickly."
The function of boiling water is to rinse the entire painting. In this way, not only the floating dust on the surface of the entire painting can be washed away, but the most important thing is to clean the areas that have been exposed to water before.
When Wei Changqing took the newly boiled water and walked to Han Kongque's room, Han Kongque had already removed the sky axis, earth pole, etc. of the scroll, leaving only one scroll.
Han Peacock put the scroll on the case, wrapped a towel around it, and then used a watering can to wet the scroll. When the scroll was moistened, he poured the boiling water he had just boiled over it.
This step is to wash away the areas that were previously wetted with water, and also to wash away the dust and impurities that the ancient paintings have collected over time.
Han Peacock carefully arranged the scroll, then carefully dipped a towel in the water on the painting and twisted it into a basin on one side.
Wei Changqing watched from the side, and the water squeezed out was all yellow soup, which was the dirt washed off the painting.
After that, Han Peacock went back and forth with the same steps several times before the entire painting was slightly dry.
After the whole thing was done, Han Peacock straightened up and looked at the worried eyes of the two people beside him. Han Peacock smiled and said, "Okay, now let's see where the painting below is hidden."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Kongque took out a pair of tweezers and started to peel it off from one corner. Three thin pieces of paper were immediately revealed.
Wei Changqing was very excited when he saw this. He thought that these three pieces of paper should be the heart paper for the first painting, the support paper, and the heart paper for the second painting.
"No, it shouldn't be that simple." Han Kongque looked at it carefully again, and then used tweezers to try to peel off the first layer of paper.
Sure enough, after a while, the first layer of paper was divided into two pieces, and the second layer of paper should be a piece of white paper, which served to isolate the two paintings, and the third layer of paper was divided into two pieces.
open.
In this way, there are five layers of paper in total from top to bottom. The first layer is the drawing paper of "Dian Bamboo Picture", the second layer is its supporting paper, the third layer is a blank paper, and the fourth layer is
It is the center paper for the second painting, and the fifth layer is the support paper for the second painting.
"Master!" Seeing that the entire painting was divided into five layers, Han Peacock couldn't help but sigh, and the two people beside him also nodded.
You must know that there are five layers of paper here, and its thickness is almost the same as the thickness of a usually framed picture scroll. It can be seen that the person who framed this painting has a deep intention and high craftsmanship, which is really amazing.
Seeing this, Han Kongque said to Wei Changqing: "The next work will be a bit troublesome. You see, five layers can be peeled off here. This paper is a bit thin, so it will be difficult to peel it off. You have to do it well."
Ideological equipment.”
Originally, Han Kongque thought that there were only three layers of paper at most, so he was relatively confident when he lifted up the painting. But now that there were five layers of paper, the difficulty was greatly increased, so he had to give Wei Changqing a special reminder.
.
"Okay." Wei Changqing agreed without even thinking about it, "Brother Han, feel free to do it. My current thought is, if I gain it, I will be lucky, if I lose it, I will die. Anyway, I have gained something now."
What Wei Changqing is holding is the bamboo and stone picture that was peeled off earlier. Although this picture was peeled off from Zheng Banqiao's original work and is only a fraction of the thickness, it is very likely to be the original work.
As for the hidden one in the remaining paintings, Wei Changqing doesn't think much about it now. Various signs indicate that this is probably a trap set for them.
"Haha, Changqing, you have a good attitude. But since you said so, I will try my best to preserve both paintings." Han Peacock was very happy after hearing what Wei Changqing said.
Because Han Peacock has now almost confirmed that the painting inside is a fake of little value. Otherwise, no one would be able to hide it in this painting because it is difficult to hide it. And it would be even more difficult to reveal it again.
It is difficult. If this is really a treasure, doing so will most likely destroy it. Therefore, Han Peacock is not optimistic about the paintings inside.
Next, he explained the steps for unveiling the painting to the two of them, then took out a bottle of secret unveiling potion and prepared to begin the official unveiling of the painting.
The first step is to use peeling and cleaning solution to cover the painting. However, because you have to pay attention to the second painting, the time should not be too long. Wait until it is almost bored. Han Kongque’s idea is to start removing the second layer first, and do this
This is to ensure that the first picture is foolproof.
After taking off the first painting, turn it over as soon as possible, lay it flat, and remove the supporting paper. Then trim the center of the first painting and put it on the wall.
After the first painting is processed, re-apply the new solution and continue to paint the second painting. This is because the first painting time is short, and there is a layer of blank paper in the middle, which may block the
Penetration of drug power.
After the dull painting is completed, you can peel off the blank paper, then turn it over, lay it flat, then remove the supporting paper of the second painting, clean it, trim it, and finally put the supporting paper on the wall. In this way, the whole step is completed.
As the work of Han Peacock Unmounting began step by step, it proved that his plan was very reasonable. There were no accidents in the first painting and it was displayed in front of everyone intact.
Although after this step, Han Kongque was already a little troubled, he still carried out the subsequent work in an orderly and leisurely manner.
And when the blank paper was slowly opened, a painting with the same theme of stone and bamboo appeared in front of everyone.
When Zhaodong saw this work, he was immediately amazed, because the author of this painting is so famous. It can be said that everyone in the calligraphy and painting world knows it.
However, the steps to unveil the painting have not been completed yet, so he can only suppress his excitement and wait for Han Kongque to complete all the work.
"This...this is actually the painting of bamboo, stone, orchid and hyacinth created by Zheng Xie!" When the entire step of unveiling the painting was completed, Zhaodong Ke immediately picked up the magnifying glass and looked up with an extremely excited expression, and murmured to himself
Speaking.
Compared to Zhaodongke's excitement, Han Kongque and Wei Changqing were not that happy. Because of their preconceived notions, they immediately noticed something unusual when they saw the painting.
"I really made you guess. This painting doesn't even have a signature on it. It can't be authentic at all. It's really gold and jade that is ruined on the outside." Wei Changqing said with a bitter smile.
"This is not necessarily true, let's make a careful appraisal before talking!" Han Peacock also picked up a magnifying glass on the table and observed it carefully. (A great pie-in-the-sky activity, cool mobile phones are waiting for you! Pay attention~click/
