A broken painting?

Chen Jing was a little startled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Mr. Jiang, what kind of disability is it?"

There is also a difference between the defects of anything, such as the defects of paintings, and the defects of the scroll itself due to various reasons. This situation is also the most serious and regrettable.

In addition, there are relatively rare unfinished paintings, or they are a complete set, and the scroll in Jiang Cheng's hand is just one of them.

Many of these objects only have high enough value if they can be paired and completed in sets. Otherwise, the value will drop off a cliff.

Chen Jing took a closer look at the vertical scroll painting that Jiang Cheng took out, and found no traces of damage. It seemed that it was not the most serious and regrettable situation.

Sure enough, after Jiang Cheng heard Chen Jing's question, he also smiled and answered: "There are two paintings in total, telling a historical story, but the one I have in my hand is only one of them, and it is the second half of the story."

If it were the first half of the story, the value might be slightly higher, although it's not much higher, but it's still different.

After all, it is always better to have a beginning and no tail than to have a tail and no beginning, especially when it comes to stories.

Just like a novel, if there is a beginning and a process, even if there is no end, you can still understand the story and at least leave room for imagination for the ending.

And if there is no beginning and process, but only the end, it will only make people confused.

"Mr. Jiang, let him see for himself." At this time, Professor Chen said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, placed the vertical scroll painting in his hand on the table, and said: "Anyone with a little bit of historical knowledge will know the historical story told in this painting, but I don't know why Mr. Chen is interested."

Chen Jing reached out and carefully picked up the vertical scroll painting, while responding: "Mr. Jiang, let me take a look first."

As he spoke, he carefully unfolded the incomplete vertical scroll painting.

Seeing this, Kong Xue reached out to help, and at the same time there was some curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

What is the historical story that my fiancé is very interested in?

As the scroll unfolded, the paintings on it were revealed bit by bit in front of Chen Jing's eyes.

The painting style is a typical ancient freehand style, and the content looks very simple. There is a grand palace in the background, with several servants standing around, and a nobleman wearing noble clothes and a crown sitting on the palace.

And under the palace, there was a big snake. It stood upright, its mouth was wide open, and it contained a glowing orb!

A very simple painting.

But Chen Jing's eyes widened instantly.

Because the content in this painting tells the story of the dragon son repaying his kindness, the pearl in the mouth of the big snake should be the Suihou Pearl, the national treasure left behind!

"This is the dragon son repaying your kindness." Chen Jing looked up at his master with surprise in his eyes.

Although he had some speculations when he heard Professor Chen say that he would definitely be interested, he still couldn't hide his excitement when he actually saw this dragon son repaying his kindness.

Originally, Chen Jing didn't have many thoughts or directions regarding the clues about Suihou Pearl. Among them, the Europa clue had some directions, but it was very troublesome to confirm.

If possible, Chen Jing would naturally want to start looking for and confirming the clue of "Dragon Son Repaying the King's Favor".

But this clue really has very little direction.

He really didn't expect that his master still kept these things in mind.

Jiang Cheng has the information about the painting of Dragon Son repaying his kindness to the king. It is impossible for Professor Chen to know about it accidentally. He must have found out about it by asking around for information.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing felt inexplicably moved and couldn't help but say: "Master, thank you."

Professor Chen smiled and said: "You and I, master and disciple, saying thank you would be too outspoken."

Kong Xue heard this and said: "Yes, let's not be so polite with Master."

At this time, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why are you masters and disciples so interested in this picture of the dragon son repaying the emperor's kindness?"

After hearing this, Professor Chen glanced at him and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't you already have the answer in your mind? We have known each other for many years. There is no need to be too cautious about some things."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "Haha, you, you, you, okay, then I will speak frankly."

Immediately, he looked at Chen Jing and asked with a thoughtful look on his old face: "Mr. Chen, are you looking for the Suihou Pearl?"

Chen Jing found Jie Lu, who had been missing for many years, and now everyone in the antique shop knew about it.

And connecting this with Long Zi's plan to repay his kindness to the king, anyone with a little more loose thinking can think of what Chen Jing wants to do.

Hearing this, Chen Jing glanced at his master, then nodded and said, "Yes, I'm just giving it a try and trying my luck."

Professor Chen has said it, so Mr. Jiang Chengjiang is obviously a trustworthy person.

Moreover, Chen Jing just said that he wanted to try to find the Suihou Pearl, which was actually not something that could not be said.

After Jiang Cheng received the confirmation, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are really young and promising. When I was young, although I thought about finding the treasure lost in history, it was just an idea in the end, but I never took any actual action.

"

It's easy to say just do it when you think of it, but there are very few people in this world who can actually do it.

When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. If he didn't have the gift of appreciating treasures, he would probably be powerless even if he wanted to take practical actions.

After all, without the clues and help given by the Treasure Appraisal Eye, it is indeed almost impossible to find those national treasures.

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

At this time, Jiang Cheng asked again: "I have another question. Many people know the story in this painting, and there is nothing special about it. Based on this alone, it will be difficult for you to find the Suihou Pearl.

It’s like ascending to heaven.”

"In other words, this painting shouldn't be of much help to you in your search for the Suihou Pearl. Why are you so excited?"

Jiang Cheng's question was somewhat difficult for Chen Jing to answer.

Fortunately, at this time, Professor Chen responded: "So he just gave it a try and tried his luck."

These words were obviously perfunctory, but Chen Jing couldn't say it anymore, but Professor Chen didn't care.

Jiang Chengneng asked this question, and naturally he knew that he might not get the answer. Hearing this, he did not ask any more questions, but instead said: "In this case, I hope Mr. Chen will have good luck and successfully find the Suihou Pearl.

Sometimes I can also take a look at this legendary treasure."

Chen Jing smiled and responded: "I would like to borrow Mr. Jiang's kind words."
