The picture of Qiu Ying's ladies that he had been thinking about slowly unfolded in front of the Luo family sisters.

This painting has indeed been exposed and framed by Fu Heng.

As for the reason for uncovering the frame, of course it was not to verify Luo Yuxi's words, one was to verify whether the painting had been uncovered, and the other was to better protect the painting.

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

Rice paper is made in layers. A piece of ordinary rice paper can be split into two or three layers, and fine and thick rice paper can be split into more than ten layers.

Since the Ming Dynasty, calligraphy and painting have mostly been made of Xuan paper.

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

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

In this way, one work becomes two or more.

It's just that the color of each layer after splitting, even the top layer, is not as good as that of the original, and the counterfeiter needs to paint it separately according to the original, and then use the old method to make it old, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

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

The unmounting technique is complicated, and ordinary mounting masters cannot do it without professional training, and irreparable losses may be caused if they are not careful.

Therefore, when you need to uncover the frame, you must understand the technical level of the framer.

"A person depends on clothes, and a Buddha depends on gold clothes." Beautiful famous paintings need gorgeous coats to decorate and protect them, and the framers are the ones who make wedding dresses for famous paintings.

An ancient painting, even if it is severely damaged, can be brought back to life in the hands of a mounting artist. This cannot help admiring the superb skills of the mounting artist.

Old calligraphy and painting can not be re-mounted as much as possible, because every time it is unmounted, it needs to go through multiple processes such as hot water scalding, clear water rinsing, chemical cleaning, mildew removal and repair, full color, etc., which takes a lot of time , These will undoubtedly greatly damage the ancient paintings and calligraphy.

Therefore, the ancients once said that unless the old paintings and calligraphy are so dilapidated that "butterflies dance lightly", generally they should not be re-framed.

Fu Heng is the big dipper of the antique shop, and to him, uncovering the frame is really a trivial matter.

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

At this moment, Fu Heng slowly unfolded the painting heart that had been removed.

Luo Yuxi's attention was not on the painting.

She asked Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, after you uncover the frame, what about the original frame?"

Yang Fei said with a smile: "Old Fu said that the mounted back is also an object from the Ming Dynasty, which is valuable for collection, so we treasured it."

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

Yang Fei said: "Hey, Miss Luo, you buy paintings as soon as you buy them. What do you want to use for those dilapidated backs?"

Luo Yuxi smiled and said, "It's not what you said. Is there any collection value for framed backs?"

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

I bought it for 88, and it can be sold for [-] million. This business is of course a good deal.

A fool would not do it!

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

Yang Fei sells this painting, and with the [-] million yuan, he can collect many other antiques.

Fu Heng also 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, you can only watch from a distance, not play close up. Be careful not 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 made 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 backing, but couldn't find the treasure map that his brother mentioned, so he couldn't help hesitating.

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

Yang Fei said: "Didn't you say that you know more about antiques than I do? You can tell by looking at it. What are the things in a painting? See if there is something missing?"

Fu Hengdao: "Miss Luo, not only do you understand antiques, but I do too! In the business of framing, I, Mr. Fu, take the second place, and no one in the world dares to take the number one! Are you doubting my art of exposing the framing?"

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

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

Luo Zhihao was shocked and said: "The painting has been uncovered? What about the treasure map inside?"

Luo Yuxi said: "The painting heart has not been touched, and the mounting back is also complete. Fu Heng's unraveling technique is really unique in the world! Now I don't know, where is the treasure map? Is it in the painting heart and mounting back Between? Or in the back of the frame? Or in the heart of the painting?"

Mounting is multi-layered.

In the past, there were generally four floors.

Modern people don't pay much attention to it, but there are as many as three layers.

That's why Luo Yuxi asked her brother which floor the treasure map was hidden on.

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

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

"Then you can ask Dad."

"Dad, like me, doesn't know. The only grandpa who knows this secret has passed away."

"Then what should we do? Should we still buy this painting? Yang Fei has already agreed to sell it."

Luo Zhihao sneered and said: "One hundred million! He still doesn't sell it? Do you still want to keep the baby?"

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

Luo Zhihao said: "Try Yang Fei to see if he knows about the treasure map! We mainly want to get the treasure map."

Luo Yuxi said: "If he knows that there is a treasure map inside and refuses to sell it to us, what should we do?"

Luo Zhihao was startled, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
