Jin Zhengqing did not urge him, because even if it turned out that Jiang Zhihao was a liar, at least he saw a very professional unmasking technique, so it would not be a waste of time.
As for Huang Bingrui, he was already drowsy from waiting.
After some time, Jiang Zhihao uncovered the second layer.
After this layer was lifted, the fatigue on his face was swept away, replaced by a full smile.
Turning his head, Jiang Zhihao smiled at Jin Zhengqing and said, "Mr. Jin, I think you can use the painting in your collection for comparison."
Jin Zhengqing walked over, bent down slightly, and stared at the uncovered scroll on the table and looked at it carefully.
Huang Bingrui didn't know whether the outcome would be good or bad, but he brought the person here, so to be on the safe side, it was best to take him away first.
He came over and said, "Uncle, why don't I take Mr. Jiang first..."
"Shut up!" Jin Zhengqing scolded without raising his head. When Huang Bingrui was stunned, he said again: "Xiao Liu, go get my picture of Zhang Guo meeting Emperor Ming."
The nanny quickly responded and ran to the collection room. After a while, he came back with a painting.
With a serious face, Jin Zhengqing personally unfolded the painting and placed it parallel to the one on the table. He looked at this one and that one, muttering in his mouth: "It is almost completely similar, but the pen and ink are thicker and lighter, which is in line with the situation."
Features of peeling off the frame. Hey, there seems to be traces of alteration here, and it’s very new..."
The nanny looked at the location pointed by Jin Zhengqing and guessed: "Could this be a seal copied by another person?"
Jin Zhengqing stared at the scroll carefully for a long time, and finally looked up at Jiang Zhihao and asked: "Is this the first time that this painting has been unmounted?"
"It should be." Jiang Zhihao replied.
"Then how do you know there is a layer of other people's paintings underneath?" Jin Zhengqing asked again.
Jiang Zhihao had already thought about how to answer. He smiled slightly and said, "Intuition."
Huang Bingrui next to him had a strange expression when he heard this. Intuition? This sounds like a lie, but when he met Jiang Zhihao before, didn't Song Kanglai also say that this person's intuition is very accurate?
However, can your intuition be so accurate that you can even know that the third layer of the scroll is another person's work?
Jin Zhengqing stared at Jiang Zhihao for a while, and then his eyes gradually moved to the scroll on the table, and his eyes began to become hot.
I have collected this "Scroll of Zhang Guo's Meeting with Emperor Ming" for many years. In addition, I am also a calligrapher and painter. Every detail, he painted mine better than others.
No matter which way you look at it, there is no doubt that the layer below is the genuine product of Ren Renfa!
In particular, the traces of alteration on the corners look very new, as if they were scraped off recently. But considering that this is a painting that has been unframed, the traces below have been preserved while the surface layers have not been damaged.
The fact that it is intact proves its long history.
And with Jin Zhengqing's eyesight, it can be seen that this layer is not the bottom layer, because the ink is still very thick. If you continue to peel off the frame, you should be able to get more layers.
However, he didn't think about continuing to uncover it. He reached for the paperweight and gently pressed it on a corner of the scroll. Then Jin Zhengqing looked at Jiang Zhihao and asked, "How much is it?"
Seeing Jin Zhengqing's actions, the smile on Jiang Zhihao's face became even brighter.
This action of the old man proves that this picture scroll is destined to be obtained.
Jiang Zhihao stretched out a finger and said: "Ten million."
