Chapter 220 Picture-in-Picture, Picture-in-Picture?

After eating, Ye Fan sat on the sofa and continued to study the ink plum picture.

“Xiao Fan, did you buy this at an auction?” Seeing Ye Fan holding a painting and studying it, after Mr. Li finished eating, he also came over and asked the painting in Ye Fan’s hand. .

“Yeah!” Ye Fan nodded with a smile, and said, “This painting is the last painting of a hero during the Anti-Japanese War. Judging from the traces, this painting is a copy of Tang Yin’s “Ink Plum” picture”.

“Oh?” Hearing this, Mr. Li couldn’t help but ask, “I wonder how much it cost to buy this painting?”

Ye Fan replied, “It cost 150,000!”

“150,000?!” Hearing the price, Mr. Li frowned slightly and said, “Even if it is a painting made by a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, it is not worth the price!”

“Well, I know!” Ye Fan nodded and said, “It’s just that I always feel that this painting is a bit special, or that there is something tricky about this painting!

“Huh?” Hearing this, Li Yuntian asked curiously, “You mean… picture-in-picture? Or there is a picture-in-axis?”

“Picture-in-picture? Scroll-in-picture?!” Hearing this, Ye Fan was stunned, as if he had thought of something, so he smiled and said, “Mr. Li, what you said reminded me!”

Having said that, Ye Fan immediately opened the painting carefully and completely, and found that the scroll was carefully designed, like a lock, locking the painting on the scroll.

Seeing this, Old Man Li could not help but exclaim, “Xiaofan, it seems that this painting is really tricky! If it was an ordinary scroll, it would be impossible to lock the painting in the form of a lock.”

“Yeah!” Ye Fan nodded slightly and said, “In that era, when the foreign powers invaded, it should be to prevent the paintings here from leaking out. Mr. Cao Yang deliberately used this method to hide the original paintings. Even if this painting leaked to the enemy In the hands, others also think that it is just a defective product.”

Afterwards, Ye Fan looked at the scroll carefully and continued, “And this scroll is carefully made, if it gets into the hands of the enemy, even if he knows there is something tricky, it will be difficult to take it out. , It is very likely that two paintings will be destroyed at the same time. Instead of giving it to the enemy, it is better to burn all the jade and stone!

“Yeah!” Li Lao looked at the scroll, nodded and said, “It’s not impossible! After all, I have seen picture-in-picture and scroll-in-picture once or twice. It’s just that it’s not like this time. The lock locks it up.”

Hearing this, Ye Fan pondered for a while, and said, “It seems that this painting is very likely to be Tang Yin’s original work! From the copy to the size of the painted silk, it is almost the same as Tang Yin’s ink plum painting!”

In the secular world, there are many high-quality imitation paintings of ink plum pictures, but the real Tang Bohu has never appeared! No one has seen it! (However, in reality, it has been collected in the Beijing Museum.)

“Yeah!” Hearing this, Mr. Li was a little excited and said, “According to what you said, then this painting is indeed the original work of Tang Yin?!!

In the secular world, there are quite a few rumors about this painting, saying that it is completely comparable to Wang Mian’s “Mei Mei Tu” in the dollar era. Some people say that the real work is far more than Wang Mian!

But it’s true, no one can be sure.

And today, Tang Yin’s real work is very likely in front of them, why doesn’t it make him excited?

And for Tang Yin’s authentic works, he has only been lucky enough to see it once or twice. Unexpectedly, today, it is very possible to see it again.

At this moment, Li Yuntian also heard the sound and came over and asked, “But Xiaofan, since this scroll is an elaborate lock, are you ready to open it?”

“When Ye Fan heard this, Ye Fan suddenly got into trouble. This scroll lock is obviously carefully crafted and difficult to open. Maybe if you don’t pay attention, the original work inside will be destroyed.

He is not a “Jiangnan Lock King”, and he doesn’t know anything about locks.

So Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and said, “I really want to open it, this original work has been locked in for nearly a hundred years (abdb), and it’s time to take it out and let the world see “Fang Rong”. And for Tang Yin I also really want to see it with my own eyes. However, this scroll has been handled so delicately that I am afraid it will be difficult to open it.”

“Well, that’s true!” Li Lao nodded and said, “And the most important thing is that this scroll cannot be forcibly opened, otherwise both paintings will be destroyed.”

In this regard, the group suddenly encountered difficulties. Everyone wanted to witness the true appearance of the authentic work, but they were unable to open the scroll lock.

As for asking a professional outside to unlock the lock, everyone felt it was unreliable. Because of this lock, unlike the current mechanical locks and electronic locks.

And this thing can’t be bricked or touched. Once the original work inside is flawed, then they are the “sinners” who destroy the original work.

“Ah?” At this moment, Li Yuntian seemed to think of something, so he asked Mr. Li, “Dad, I remember hearing what my mother once said, my grandfather was a locksmith when he was young, I don’t know if my mother knew This lock.”

Old Li’s wife is called Chen Su, and the two met in the army when they were young.

It’s just that Ye Fan’s curiosity was that when he came to Beijing this time, he had never seen Mr. Li’s wife, and he didn’t know what to ask.

Mr. Li also seemed to have remembered something, so he smiled and said, “Indeed, your grandfather was a locksmith when he was young, and he was quite proficient in all kinds of locks. And when your mother was young, she also studied with your grandfather for a period of time, You should know something about this lock.

Hearing this, Li Yuntian was instantly overjoyed and said with a smile, “Dad, then please call Mom back!”

“This. Mr. Li immediately touched the beard on his chin and said helplessly, “You don’t know your mother’s temperament. I had a fight with her two days ago, and she won’t go home until she loses her temper.

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately understood, the relationship between Mr. Li and the old couple is quarreling! It’s no wonder that Grandma Chen Su has not been seen in the past two days!

Thinking of this, Ye Fan smiled helplessly. It was rare to have a clue to open the scroll, but it just broke.

At this time, Takagi Yuan, who was standing beside him, said helplessly, “Dad, you really are, why do you and your mother quarrel over such a trivial matter!”

Li Lao shook his head and said helplessly, “You can’t blame me for this. I just went out and played chess with Lao Chen for a while, and when she came back, she insisted on arguing with me.”

Hearing this, Ye Fan was speechless for a while, because the parents in the family often quarreled over small matters, but the two of them had come here for more than 20 years.

Perhaps for Mr. Li and his wife, their decades-long relationship as a husband and wife is the “argument”.

Gao Muyuan waved her hand helplessly and said with a smile, “Forget it, Xiaofan is here, don’t let him see jokes. I’d better call Mom and ask her to come back sooner!”
