There were countless treasures in the museum. Although Old Master Dai was more skilled in painting and calligraphy, in general, the old director was more knowledgeable.
Moreover…
The Along the River During the Qingming Festival was kept in the Palace Museum!
"Eh?"
As soon as the old curator came up, he saw the eight-meter-long Along the River During the Qingming Festival. With just one glance, his mouth opened wide.
"How is this possible…"
Just like Dai Renguo, he was completely dumbfounded after saying the same thing.
Because!
They thought that their eyesight was so good that even though they were separated by the screen, they could recognize the eight-meter-long Along the River During the Qingming Festival at a glance...
It was the real deal!
Then the question was, could it be that the one in the Palace Museum was the fake?
The two knowledgeable masters were stunned!
And when the audience saw Grandmaster's expression, they were completely confused.
"What's going on? Why are the two masters so confused?"
"Is this painting real? I'm so anxious…"
"That's right, give me a definite answer!"
"What exactly happened?"
"Could it be that the painting in the Forbidden City was swapped?”
The viewers in the live broadcast room were all burning with anxiety…
At this moment, the old curator finally came to his senses.
"I can be sure that this Along the River During the Qingming Festival is also an authentic painting, and…"
A pinned bullet comment was posted.
As the old curator spoke, he stood up and asked the staff to connect to the live broadcast room with his phone. He hurried to the warehouse where the Along the River During Qingming Festival was kept.
"Where is the old curator going?"
While the audience was still confused, they saw the old curator enter a storeroom with extremely tight security, a constant temperature, and no dust. He came to a long table.
There was a five-meter-long glass cover on the table, and inside it was the " Along the River During the Qingming Festival " from the Forbidden City collection.
"Everyone, take a look."
The old curator zoomed in on this painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival and compared it with the one in the live broadcast room.
"F * ck! It's exactly the same!"
"Awesome…"
"I'm already dumbfounded. Which of these two is the fake?”
"It's impossible for both paintings to be real!”
"Foolish, I can't tell…"
"Director, quickly tell us about it!"
The audience was so dizzy that they couldn't tell north from south.
The old curator took a deep breath and sent another pinned bullet comment."I can only be sure that both paintings are authentic. As for what exactly happened, I can only ask the owner of the painting to tell everyone.”
" Swoosh!" Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Hao.
At this moment, Zhang Hao had already arrived in front of the painting.
"Oh, it's this painting."
Zhang Hao looked at the Along the River During the Qingming Festival and could not help but recall another memory.
Each of these old objects carried a period of time…
That was more than 900 years ago. It was during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Zeduan was a member of the Zhang family.
Zhang Hao saw that Zhang Zeduan had been intelligent since he was young and was extremely talented in calligraphy and painting. As an ancestor, he naturally taught him everything he knew, including calligraphy and painting.
It wasn't that Zhang Hao was passionate about calligraphy and painting.
It was because he had been bored for thousands of years, so he would naturally write calligraphy and draw Chinese paintings to relieve his boredom. Therefore, when he saw a talented young boy, he would naturally not be stingy with giving him some pointers…
Actually…
The famous Art Saint Wu Daozi was one of Zhang Hao's incarnations!
As for these two Along the River During the Qingming Festival paintings, it was simple to say.
The painting in the Palace Museum was also authentic, but…it was defective!
It was just that there was a flaw in the back of the painting, so he cut out the part that was flawed from 5.28 meters away.
Zhang Zeduan drew another complete version, which was the version that Zhang Hao had in his hands, and presented it to his ancestor.
Later, the defective painting of 5.28 meters was circulated and was even treasured by the Northern Song Dynasty royal family. 900 years later, it became one of the top ten famous paintings and was collected in the Palace Museum as one of the treasures.
However…
This matter could not be told to the outside world. It was too shocking!
Zhang Hao smiled and said," I received this painting from one of Zhang Zerui's descendants more than a hundred years ago. It was during the war. Their family of more than ten wanted to take refuge in North America, but they didn't have money or a safe way.”
"So I helped him and sent his family to North America. I asked the local Freemasons to take care of them, and as thanks, I received this painting.”
" His descendants said that although the painting was a rare treasure, it was a dead object to him after all. How could it be more important than helping his family of more than ten people escape from the chaos of war and live in a safe and stable place?”
"I'd rather be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times.”
"According to him, this painting is the original work.”
"Back then, the Northern Song Dynasty's steward asked the Zhang family for this painting, but Zhang Zeduan wanted to keep it for his family, so he copied another one.”
" However, there was not enough time. He only copied 5.28 meters. Zhang Zeduan simply said that the painting was accidentally damaged and only handed in the 5.28-meter painting..."
Zhang Hao casually made up a lie.
