Seeing that Lin Xi came back to fetch water, Wu turned off the flashlight in his hand, and then shook his head in disappointment. It seemed that he was still worried about the origin of the high imitation of the painting and regretted something.

But then again, although this painting is a high imitation of the fake, but after all, it was from a private auction, and it was mounted before it was put to auction. However, for some reasons, the original mounting technology is simply ugly, far less than Wu Runyu's.

After calling Lin Xi to take the water, Wu looks at the scroll and ponders a little. Then he sweeps his eyes on the long solid wood table. He picks up a knuckle sized brush and puts it in the basin. After getting wet, he begins to brush in the lower right corner of the scroll.

"The painting of human and horse" is a fake, but its paper is good, and its water absorption is not bad. Only when a brush full of water touches the paper, it sucks in the water on the brush. Wu Runyu repeatedly brushes it several times, until the lower right corner of the paper is saturated with water, he puts down the brush in his hand.

Leaving the brush in his hand, Wu Runyu stretched out his right thumb and index finger and rubbed it repeatedly in the wet corner of the scroll. Just two times, he separated the original scroll into two layers. However, when he moved here, he suddenly stopped his action.

Don't know what to think of, Wu Runyu suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Xi, his eyes are quite meaningful, as if to see something from Lin Xi's face in general, straight at the heart of Lin Xi hair.

What did Wu Runyu find?

Under the gaze of Wu Runyu, Lin Xi can't bear the pressure. Just when he wants to say something to divert his attention, Wu Runyu gives an order in advance: "OK, you should go out, wait outside, and then call you in after the mounting is finished"

LIN Xi, who was already overwhelmed, immediately gets amnesty after hearing Wu Runyu's order He left the room and took the door with him. But when he left the room, he suddenly remembered that he wanted to see the calligraphy hidden in the mezzanine with his own eyes, but he was mercilessly blasted out. This is not a waste.

The most important thing is that Wu Runyu is about to uncover the upper and lower layers of the painting, revealing the true face in the middle, but he drives Lin Xi out at the critical moment, and immediately catches him. It's like watching a beautiful woman take off her clothes, but wake up at this time.

However, Lin Xi did not know that even the organizers of the private auction could not find the difference in the painting. It can be seen how deep the interlayer was hidden. Although Wu Runyu had already seen the difference with the vision of the mounting master, he had to waste a lot to take it out. Even a little carelessness would destroy the interlayer.

It is also for this reason that no one cloud will blow him out, so as not to be affected by him.

Besides, although Wu Runyu complains about the craftsmen in the old times, he is also one of those craftsmen. What he stresses is the inheritance of teacher's etiquette. As the saying goes, "the law does not pass on six ears", it is reasonable for him to hide and keep Lin Xi from seeing the real craftsmanship. You should know that there are some unique skills of mounting craftsmanship, but there are not many people who can do it now.

Walking down the second floor to the study, Lin Xi sees Chen he pouring and drinking his own green tea, which Lin Xi doesn't know. He picks up some of Wu Runyu's calligraphy and appreciates it. When he sees Lin Xi coming down, he greets him as expected and says, "it's from old Wu, isn't it?"

Sitting down beside Chen he, Lin Xi said with a bitter smile, "how do you know, old man?"

"How can I not know? Even if I go up to have a look, I will be blown out by Mr. Wu, not to mention you? "

Hear Chen he's words, Lin Xi immediately puzzled: "why, is there any taboo in it?"

As for Lin Xi's cleverness, Chen he said with a smile: "I really want you to say that there are some tricks in this... In the mounting craft, there is a unique skill called" jieceng ". It doesn't mean that this craft is shameful, but before the new China City, some mounting Masters used this craft to do dirty things in order to make huge profits."

Lin Xi was intrigued, he asked: "old man, you tell me, what is the dirty thing?"

After enjoying the tea leisurely, Chen he didn't hide anything from Lin Xi. He said with a smile: "you should also know that the Xuan paper used for painting is very easy to be rendered by brush and ink. It can almost soak the brush and ink into every layer. In the past, those mounting Masters who are good at uncovering layers would use this skill to turn a painting into several. However, with the increase of uncovering times, the brush and ink of each painting will increase Those craftsmen with bad intentions will mount again with rice paper, make up for the lack of ink, and finally make it difficult to distinguish the true from the false after some special treatment. This is the so-called "uncovering layer and mounting painting."

After a pause, Chen Heyou continued: "however, such a unique skill of uncovering layers has existed since ancient times. Those mounting masters who are ordinary in calligraphy and painting or have mediocre skills disdain and dare not fool people. They are afraid of those famous artists' calligraphy and painting. When they meet the mounting masters who are not good at heart, the consequences are another story. Therefore, many calligraphy and painting collectors prefer to do it by themselves There's a reason why I'm not willing to take my collection of famous calligraphy and paintings to the mounting master for mounting. ""But what does it have to do with grandfather not wanting us to see his craftsmanship?"

Seeing that Lin Xi didn't understand, Chen he showed a rare sense of humor: "Mr. Wu's mounting skill comes from Wu's clothes. There are countless people who want to worship him as a teacher for many years, but there are few successors. None of his successors can inherit this unique skill, let alone laymen like you and me. Do you understand now?"

"Some understand ····"

after hearing Chen he's words, Lin Xi finally understood, but it was Wu Runyu who swept away her treasure!

In the study, Lin Xi and Chen he were sipping tea and talking about the knowledge of antiques. Of course, in this process, Lin Xi consulted Chen he more, so that he could learn a lot of experience that could not be learned from professional books, which made the treasure identification more solid and rich.

Time passed quickly, until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Runyu still shut himself in the room. Lin Xi went to see it several times, but there was no movement. They wanted to knock on the door to have a look, but they were afraid of disturbing Wu Runyu's work, so they had to hold back their patience.

I thought I could see the old objects in the interlayer today, but as time goes on, Wu Runyu still doesn't come out. Lin Xi finally knows that his wish is going to fail.
