When I saw the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the old men had already made a decision. The "Imperial Book" gourd seal that appeared now added a heavyweight weight to their judgment.

However, Yang Jing still reminded several old men who were arguing about the "Imperial Book" gourd seal, "Let's see what the last silk is."

Yang Jing's reminder made the old men quiet. Mr. Guo, who had just had a blushing face and thick neck, wore white gloves again and gently opened the roll of silk.

What the old men expected was that this scroll of silk was not calligraphy and painting, but a silk book similar to a letter of introduction.

"In the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo, Zhang Zhengdao of Hanlin Academy offered paintings to the officials. The officials were very happy about this painting, so they wrote a five-character inscription, which was called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and collected this painting in the inner palace. For more than ten years, the officials often invited someone to appreciate this painting.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe, the official abdicated and the prince ascended the throne. However, the Jin people went back on their word, tore up the maritime alliance, sent troops south, conquered Zhongshan, Zhending Prefecture, and Xinde Prefecture. On the third day of the first lunar month of the Jingkang year, the Supreme Emperor brought Cai You and several eunuchs to Zhenjiang, and the Later Jin people conquered the Yellow River and surrounded Bianjing.

Bianjing was shocked three times a day and was in danger. However, because the city was high and the river was deep, the Jin people failed to siege several times. Finally, they took King Su as their command and retreated. The Supreme Emperor then returned to Bianjing.

Because the Jin people surrounded Bian Jing, the Supreme Emperor was panicked and ordered someone to enter the palace and agreed with him that a painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" would be placed in the inner palace, and the original work would be taken out by someone, and the Supreme Emperor handed over the seal of the imperial book to him.

I felt a great responsibility and spent three months imitating a picture of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and handed it to the inner palace. The Supreme Emperor personally wrote a five-character inscription on the imitation and stamped it with a small seal of the two dragons. The original and imperial seals were carried by me. In September of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people went south again, and at the end of the month, they conquered Zhengding. Under the instructions of the Supreme Emperor, they took their family to the south.

When passing by Jiangning, someone was afraid that he would be forced to the Emperor's entrustment, so he wrote "The Great River Map of Jiangning", and hid the original works of "The Great River Map of the Qingming Festival" and the imperial seal of the Emperor's imperial calligraphy in the painting scroll, and left three sons with "The Great River Map of Jiangning" in Jiangning Prefecture.

If a descendant sees this letter, he hopes to understand his difficulties."

The final signature is "Zhao Danian was in Jiangning Prefecture, October of the first year of Jingkang."

As soon as the letter was released, the old men stopped talking.

As for the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", it is almost unnecessary to identify it at this time.

They all knew very well that Zhao Lingrang's name was "Da New Year", so the origin of this letter was naturally self-evident.

"The Great River Map of Jiangning" is the original work of Zhao Lingrang, and this is enough by Mr. Xiao's appraisal; the "Imperial Book" gourd seal is also the authentic work, and the five old men have already identified this. In addition to this letter from Zhao Lingrang, all the evidence proves that the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" hidden in another scroll is indeed the original work of Zhang Zeduan.

Especially this handwritten letter from Zhao Lingrang is enough to wipe out all the doubts about "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in history.

Of course, after confirming that these things are true, the five old men were also a little worried.

They had read the fragment of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" treasured in the Palace Museum for most of their lives, but they did not expect that the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that was recognized as the original copy of Zhang Zeduan was actually just a copy of Zhao Lingrang...

Yang Jing took the high-definition 4K portable digital camera from Liu Minghan, and then sent several close-ups to the "Yu Shu" gourd seal and Zhao Lingrang's letter. Then he turned off the machine, pulled out the storage card, and asked Mr. Xiao with a smile: "Second Master, all the things are taken into this card today. With this thing, I guess there is no need to invite so many experts to identify them together, right?"

Mr. Xiao smiled helplessly and shook his head and said, "No need to identify it. If there is such strong evidence, it cannot prove this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", then this painting should not be identified, and I love anyone."

"Those four masters and Mr. Huang, I've put away this painting."

Several old men looked at the spread out "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". They wanted to take a look again. But they also knew that this painting was too expensive, so it would be best for their apprentices to put it away.

However, Mr. Huang was still a little unwilling to give up and asked, "Xiao Jing, what are you going to do with this painting? Should you collect it yourself or plan to transfer it?"

"Transfer? Mr. Huang, don't joke. This is "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". I don't lack money, of course I have collected it myself. Well, it's a bit inaccurate to say that it is a collection. I am now planning to build a comprehensive private museum in my hometown Tianqu. By then, this painting will be the treasure of my museum."

Hearing Yang Jing say this, Mr. Huang was completely helpless.

While carefully rolling up the painting, Yang Jing looked at the four masters who were reluctant to part. Finally, he handed the scrolled painting to the second master Mr. Xiao.

"Xiao Jing, what do you mean?" Old Xiao was stunned.

"Second Master, if you don't let you see this painting this night, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight. That's a huge sin. So in order to avoid the sin, let me appreciate this painting."

After a pause, Yang Jing continued, "I plan to go to Algeria, North Africa in the past two days. There is some business there that needs me to deal with. This painting is so precious, I dare not take it with me. Besides, this painting cannot be left abroad. So, this painting should be kept for the time being. If you have nothing to do, you can ask your old friends to come and appreciate it. After my private museum is up, I will put this painting in my museum. Do you think it is a good idea?"

When Mr. Xiao heard this, he was very happy, but then he said with a frown: "You kid is making me embarrassed. Needless to say, this painting cannot exceed tomorrow in my hands, and the yard must know. Alas... You kid is really making me embarrassed."

Mr. Liu patted Mr. Xiao on the shoulder and said, "You old guy, you are still good at getting a cheaper one. If the yard asks you for this painting, you will not give it to me! This is Xiao Jing's painting, you must stick to your principles."

Mr. Guo smiled and said, "If the yard dares to force it, at worst, our brothers will accompany you to resign. Anyway, I have passed the age of retirement and will have already completed the retirement. If the yard dares to take action, I will find Lao Dan to sacrifice my life!"

Cai Yi said: "Well, call me then, I'll count me!"

Mr. Huang also smiled and said, "As long as I can see this painting every day, I will help you deal with Lao Dan!"

The old Dan they mentioned was the current director of the museum. This morning he also attended the apprenticeship ceremony of the four old men. At noon, he was still having dinner with Mr. Lu, Mr. Geng and Mr. Yang on the main table.

Although Mr. Liu hugged his arms and smiled and didn't say anything, the look in his eyes was extremely firm.

Mr. Xiao said, "You guys are baking me on the fire! But then again, for this painting, just bake it. My old man doesn't have a few taels of meat all over his body, let alone oil and water, and he can't even bake anything good. He's all the people who are buried in his neck, so he doesn't care about these things!"

As he said that, the old man turned to Yang Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, please put this painting at Master II with confidence. Before your museum opens, I promise to return this painting to you intact."

"Second Master, please slowly appreciate it. After my museum opens, there are still good things for you to appreciate."

Mr. Xiao shook his head and said, "I can see the original works of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in this life. Even if I die tomorrow, I can rest in peace."

Several old men nodded, agreeing with Mr. Xiao’s words very much.

For a master who has been immersed in antique art for a lifetime, especially playing ancient calligraphy and painting for a lifetime, I guess nothing can be better than emphasizing the original works of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" every day.

Not to mention that Xiao is old, I am afraid that everyone in this big circle will be like this.

"What are you talking about? Your health is great now, no worse than a young man. Maybe you can have a slogan tomorrow morning?" Yang Jing laughed and made a joke on the second master.

Several old men burst into laughter, and Old Xiao glared at his eyes, as if he was furious.

Yang Jing whispered in a tone of self-talking, "What? Don't believe it? You'll know it tomorrow morning. Disciple is not nonsense. You really think that your disciple has been in vain in the afternoon..."

Only then did these old men remember that Yang Jing was so tired in the afternoon, and suddenly remembered the relaxation of his body after the conditioning in the afternoon.

Several old men looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a meaning - Could it be that what Xiaojing said is true?

Alas, there is nothing we can do about this. All male animals, especially men, hope that they can return to their youth in that respect...

A joke that was not too big and too small made the atmosphere more lively. The senior brother next to him said, "Dad, uncles, it's all that. Should we go out for some late-night snack?"

Today, Liu Minghan was very eye-opening, and he finally understood why his father wanted to join forces with three other famous people to accept Yang Jing as his disciple. Liu Minghan is also a wealthy man with a net worth of 10 billion yuan. In addition, he was influenced by his father since he was a child, so he is very concerned about collecting. Of course, he knows the status of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the minds of Chinese people in China and even around the world.

He really didn't expect that today he could see the legendary "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and it was a genuine work!

So he simply turned off a very important invitation at night, turned off his phone, and kept working with several old men until now - it was almost twelve o'clock.

Liu Minghan didn't know if he didn't say that. Only then did the old men realize that it was almost twelve o'clock. Not to mention that after Yang Jing's conditioning in the afternoon, these old men were not tired at all. In addition, this sudden "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the old men were now excited.

However, people are iron rice and steel, and they are hungry even if they don’t eat for a meal. I didn’t think anything was going on because of excitement. Now that I relaxed, everyone felt that their stomachs were about to rebel.

Mr. Liu said to his son: "You should look at the arrangements and try to be as light as possible."

Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I'll leave this painting to me. I don't dare to take it out for dinner like this. Minghan, arrange a car for me, and I have to put it back to my treasure room. I'll carry this thing with me, like an explosive bag, and I'm so worried!"
