Master Tao frowned. He had seen the damage to the painting before and was more confident in his mind. But now the situation was worse than before, especially the degree of damage. If his hands shook, the damage would accelerate, and he would be the sinner!
Moreover, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was painted with mineral pigments, and the pigments have begun to fall off, so cleaning the dirt is even more difficult.
After Master Tao looked around, he suddenly said, "We need one more person here!"
Master Tao suddenly suggested adding more people, and everyone was stunned.
Master Tao said in a deep voice: "There is a decontamination technique here, and I need the help of my sister's only closed disciple!"
Master Tao's gaze passed over the people sitting in front and watching, and finally fell on Yi Anan's face.
Yi An'an suddenly saw Master Tao's eyes looking at her. She looked around for a moment, but heard Master Tao say, "Yi An'an, come up!"
Yi Anan was now sure that Master Tao was calling her, so she quickly stood up and looked at Master Tao.
Master Tao waved to her.
Yi Anan walked to the side of Master Tao.
"Let me introduce to you all. This is sister You's only closed disciple. Her name is Yi An'an. She has completely inherited sister You's skills. You need her to be your assistant!" Master Tao said in a deep voice.
Yi An'an frowned. The teacher asked her to come, but didn't say that he would let her get started. Besides, this was a famous painting handed down from generation to generation, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". She was just a novice who had studied for a few months. How could she get started with such a heavy painting?
Yi Anan reacted quickly and realized that this Master Tao might be looking for her to take the blame!
This Master Tao didn't have the confidence to clean the dirt off this famous painting, so he dragged her down with him. If he succeeded, it would all be the result of the Tao family's skills. If he failed, she, who had not learned the skills well, would be the culprit!
Yi Anan quickly whispered: "Master Tao, you have only been learning for a few years..."
Before Yi An'an finished speaking, she was interrupted by Master Tao: "Your master asked you to come here, but didn't he tell you what to listen to?"
Yi Anan shook her head: "No!"
Old Mrs. Tao never even mentioned this younger brother.
"That doesn't matter. Just start listening to me now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your road to fame starts now!" Master Tao said in a deep voice.
Yi Anan bit her lip, she naturally knew that this was her way to fame, especially with Professor Tan present, maybe she could impress Professor Tao and be specially recruited into Kyoto University!
However, Yi An'an has only restored a few paintings, although they are also silk paintings, but this kind of handed-down masterpiece, she really dare not start!
Without waiting for Yi An'an to refute, Master Tao said to everyone: "Don't worry, since you let her participate, you have the upper hand!"
Professor Tan nodded.
In this case, Yi Anan no longer had the chance to refuse. She could only stay on the stage temporarily and stand with Master Tao.
When the restoration work began, everyone looked at Master Tao in silence.
Master Tao wet his brush but was reluctant to start.
"What is Master Tao waiting for?" People began to discuss in low voices.
"Master, we are all waiting for the right time. Don't say anything, just watch!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Master Tao, waiting for him to start writing.
Master Tao never expected that in his career of mounting paintings for most of his life, for the first time he felt so nervous that he couldn't bring himself to start.
After three years of hard work, he has become a leader in the mounting industry in less than three years. He is now an external expert of the Palace Museum with a good reputation and status. However, if he fails to restore this painting, all his three years of hard work will be in vain!
Everything in the past flashed through his mind, from his family's decline to being forced to move north, the hardships and bullying he had endured, all of which were before his eyes. He wanted to calm down, but he just couldn't.
Just when everyone was looking at Master Tao expectantly, Master Tao suddenly handed the brush in his hand to Yi Anan: "This is the easiest step at the front, you do it!"
Master Tao's action caused an uproar at the scene.
This is the first step, and it is also a critical step. If this step is ruined, the subsequent repair work will not be necessary!
The crime of damaging the painting was pinned on the little girl 깊 Yi Anan!
Professor Tan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Tao, you are too frivolous. Even if you do it yourself, you must be sure of the precious painting. You actually let such a young girl take risks? Do you know that if you damage this painting, you can't afford it!"
Master Tao looked back at Professor Tan and said, "Professor Tan, if you don't trust me, then there's no need to work with me!"
Professor Tan frowned, looked up at Yi An'an, and whispered, "Little girl, think about it carefully. If you can't do it well, your whole life..."
Professor Tan's eyes were full of pity and sympathy. It was obvious that he had seen that Master Tao was trying to pass the buck.
If Yi Anan refused to do this, he might take the opportunity to get angry.
It seems that Master Tao really doesn't want to do anything with this painting, but he can't refuse now.
Yi Anan looked at the painting again.
A painting that Yi Anan had started recently was made of this material, and Old Lady Tao was an expert at cleaning dirt, so Yi Anan felt very confident in this regard.
And if you want to be admitted to Kyoto University as an exception, you have to take a risk.
Yi Anan hesitated for a moment, looked up and said, "Professor Tan, yes!"
Professor Tan frowned and said again: "Little girl, don't you know the value of this painting?"
Yi Anan nodded: "I know, but I have learned how to clean up dirt from my teacher, so I feel I have a good grasp of it!"
Professor Tan shook his head helplessly. I have learned it, so I am very confident? Even a master like Tao Xinran is avoiding it, how dare this little girl say such things?
Master Tao said calmly: "Sister 놖 is Tao Xinxin!"
As soon as Master Tao said this name, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Even Professor Tan's expression changed.
Yi An'an was stunned. She didn't even know Mrs. Tao's maiden name. Could it be that Tao Xinxin was very famous?
"It turns out to be Tao Xinxin from Nanchu Beitao. No wonder Master Tao is so sure of it!"
"Nanchu and Beitao were the two great families in the field of cultural relic restoration before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Tao family, in particular, had a unique skill called 'Re-Seeing the Sun'. No matter how dirty a painting was, it could be cleaned clean, not only preserving the original color, but also restoring the traces of the age to the greatest extent possible. Nanchu could repair damaged books and paintings without leaving any traces."
People began to discuss in low voices.
