Chapter 631 The Pen in the Shaft
"She came to ask for a place, and according to the rules, things have to stay."

When Yu Yao said it was not very serious, Pu Jie laughed along, "Look, I can't hold back any longer! He made a mistake and had to take out something just for a sip of wine. I didn't expect to meet someone like you God Erlang!"

"It is indeed a temporary idea, but the rules still have to be followed."

"Is there really no other reason?" Pu Jie stared at Yu Yao for a while, "You don't want to check the big job that the Tan family entrusted the small team of the Academy of Fine Arts to do, do you?"

Lao Huang had mentioned this matter before, but Yu Yao and Pu Jie didn't go any further.As a result, I didn't expect the "beautiful chief artist" who drew the characters in this small team to come to my door today.Of course, it's not 100% sure yet.

"Do I have so many things?" Yu Yao finally said seriously, "I'm not interested in this painting, what I'm interested in is the scroll!"

"Painting scroll?" Pu Jie quickly picked up the painting and looked at the scroll head again, "This looks like an old mahogany scroll head from the Qing Dynasty, um, it seems that the old silk from the Qing Dynasty was also used for mounting... But, just This little material doesn’t seem to be able to catch your eyes, right?”

"I don't think it's as simple as old mahogany." Yu Yao said.

"Isn't this mahogany and what is it?" Pu Jie rubbed the head of the shaft with his hands again, "Even if I'm blind, can't I even recognize mahogany?"

"I mean there might be something else inside the mahogany shaft."

"Ah?" Pu Jie was taken aback, "Inside? Are you still clairvoyant?"

"I need clairvoyant eyes, so do I need to guess?" Yu Yao smiled, "When you two were chatting, I looked at it carefully and felt it carefully. The shaft and the shaft head are integrated, that is to say It should be a mahogany."

"This is normal. The wooden scroll has a split head and a one-piece head."

"It's normal, but the portion is wrong."

When Pu Jie heard it, "You mean, they made an old mahogany scroll from the Qing Dynasty as a disguise, but they didn't see the mystery hidden in the facade of the old scroll?"

"It should be, but you have to take it apart to find out."

"Then what are you waiting for? It's just a fake painting, tear it down quickly!"

Yu Yao took a few steps, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "There is another possibility."

"Hollow, but empty?"

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that this old shaft may have been provided by the Tan family."

"I understand what you mean." Pu Jie nodded, "This painting, this girl just fell here, and the Tan family may come to look for it. But, she said just now that she will sell it at Seven Star Bridge tomorrow."

"I don't doubt this. This painting is just a small slapstick, and it may be for the Tan family and the small team to share the profits. But since I haven't seen the money now, the girl must make it clear when she goes back."

"Yeah." Pu Jie nodded, "She said she wanted to sell it at Geguzhai, but you saw through it and seized the painting."

"So, if this is the case, people from the Tan family may come to me."

"I'm afraid he's a hammer!" Pu Jie raised his head, "They may have some weight in Taiwan Island, but in Jiangzhou, it's not their turn to play wild!"

Yu Yao smiled, "They definitely won't make trouble. They will probably find a reason to collect the painting. A fake that has been spotted falls into the hands of someone who saw through him, and they know me, so they won't be at ease. .”

"Isn't that easy to say? It's normal for the geese to pluck their hair and paint them, leaving the shaft head."

Yu Yao nodded, "They will think of an excuse before they come, so we should have an excuse anyway, right? I was thinking about this just now. When the time comes, I'll say that since it's a fake painting, I just need to take it apart and have a look. "

"You think so much!" Pu Jie sighed, "Okay, there are too many surprises today, hurry up, or I won't be able to sleep!"

The scroll is easy to dismantle, and soon, a mahogany scroll was taken down.

The shaft head is a very simple style, and the shaft should be thinner, and it looks like it is carved from a whole piece of mahogany.

Pu Jie weighed it with his hands, "I was puzzled, how did you feel that the weight was wrong? I feel that this is the weight of mahogany."

"It's still a little lighter than solid mahogany." Yu Yao explained, "Also, if you hold it alone and try it, it's better to try it on a painting."

"Huh?" Pu Jie asked while looking at the scroll, "It should be the other way around, right? It's more obvious when you try it alone!"

"Who would often weigh a painting scroll when nothing is wrong? But there are more cases of weighing paintings." Yu Yao smiled slightly, "Okay, you have to experience this feeling slowly."

"Fucking it up again! Okay, you are very discerning." Pu Jie didn't see anything, and put the scroll on the table, "Come on, brother Qiuhao, let's see where I can open it?"

"Of course you can't see it this way." Yu Yao smiled slightly, found out a piece of sandpaper, picked up the painting scroll, and began to polish the shaft.

"I'll go? You don't want to wear it through in a stupid way, do you?"

"Didn't you see a layer of glue on the shaft?"

"It won't stick to the scroll without glue!"

"Okay, you'd better watch!"

Soon, Yu Yao polished off the glue on the shaft, and Pu Jie took a closer look, "I'll go, there's still a layer of varnish underneath! There's something to be said, there should be something hidden inside!"

Indeed, things like mahogany are generally not painted.Painted, indicating that it is not normal.

Yu Yao then rubbed off the layer of varnish again, raised his finger and said to Pu Jie, "Look!"

Pu Jie took a closer look, and saw that there seemed to be a thin seam in the middle of the shaft.

"Hey!" Pu Jie couldn't help shouting, "You are getting more and more amazing!"

"Actually, I just thought of this suddenly. I'll try it first. If it doesn't work out, I can only saw it open a little bit." Yu Yao explained, "If the hidden things are docked, then paint on the joints. The mahogany powder sands the whole thing and then puts on a coat of varnish so the seams are hard to see."

Pu Jie nodded, "Besides, there must be a layer of glue when framing the picture scroll, so it will be even less visible!"

Yu Yao tried to rotate and twist at the seam, and finally, the shaft could be pulled out.

Inside the shaft, there is indeed a section of hollow, inside which is a slender thing wrapped in brocade.

The things were tightly stuffed inside, and Yu Yao took some effort to carefully take them out.

Opening the wrapped brocade, what was wrapped inside was actually a writing brush.

The writing brush has a length of 23 cm. It is relatively slender overall, and there is a cap on it.

Before Yu Yao could speak, Pu Jie couldn't help shouting, "This is too beautiful!"

"It's really extremely gorgeous." Yu Yao picked up the writing brush and carefully took off the cap, only to find that the brush is a gourd-style purple hair, and it still has a certain elasticity when touched by hand.This gourd-style Zihao is especially suitable for writing lowercase letters.

"It's so gorgeous, it can't be the court pen used in the Qianlong period?" Pu Jie asked from the side.

"No, much earlier."
