Chapter 87 Come on, Amnesiac Spirit
"Don't be so blunt. Your wife and I are essentially in a relationship where we need each other."
"Your master's wife needs someone who is above the standard and will not shake her family's property to help her fight for the inheritance. And your master, I also need your master's wife's resources to do research."
"Although we all had our own feelings, we never concealed or denied our purpose."
"I was mentally prepared to marry into the family, but neither I nor your grandmother expected that my father-in-law did not have the same idea as the older generation that their sons must inherit the family business.
It was true that he doted on his son born to his second wife, but he was very aware of his daughter's talent in appraising treasures. For this reason, his plan at the time was actually to leave the Yong'an Pawnshop to his daughter, and then leave some money to his son while finding connections to help him get a job.
But what people didn't expect was that your master's wife's half brother would be so stupid as to jump out because of the dowry prepared by his father for his daughter when the successor was not yet clear. "
"We thought we would fight each other openly and secretly for a while, but we never thought that your grandmother Xu's useless brother would secretly engage in the business of reselling cultural relics."
"In the end, she was even killed by foreigners at the dock. Your grandmother Xu inherited all the family property just like that."
"I thought our relationship would end here."
"Although I, your master, had already fallen in love with your master's wife at that time, I knew the gap between us. I also understood that your master's wife was with me at that time, largely because I could make up for her lack of craftsmanship. But later, what I didn't expect was that your grandmother Xu actually drove a car full of cultural relics to our school."
"I really can't imagine what that scene was like."
"Everyone in the school is gossiping about how extraordinary and brave your wife's action was."
"But your wife really didn't think that at the time. The reason she did that was because she knew I knew her driving skills."
"She asked the driver to drive the car to the entrance of our college and then left immediately. She knew that I would not let a road killer drive the car back by himself."
"Otherwise, the next morning's newspaper would have published a headline about a chain reaction and the destruction of a large number of cultural relics."
Jia Wenyan: "Serial car accident? Master's wife?"
"Yes, let me tell you this, the law that your master has been most grateful for over the years is the improvement of traffic laws."
"At that time, I insisted on going to see your wife every day. In addition to looking for opportunities to meet, the most important point was to prevent her from driving out alone."
As Zhen Yuandao spoke, he took out the "old scroll" that he had prepared in advance from the package.
Although it was an old scroll, Jia Wenyan could hardly find any traces of aging on it as she had "expected".
This is not just the level that can be achieved with the same batch of silk cloth.
Jia Wenyan: "Master, you..."
"Remember, after you learn it, don't tell others that I taught you. If you really feel guilty, just say that you learned it from my failed experimental records."
Jia Wenyan: "Not Master, we..."
Zhen Yuan said: "You can see it, right? It's the spirit representing the cultural relics..."
"Master Wen... what are you talking about?"
"Don't play tricks on me. Although I don't have the eyes like you and your master's wife, after living with her for so many years, I have more or less understood a little bit of the trick."
"The elf family in your Yongan Museum should be the embodiment of the museum's artifacts, right?"
"master……"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, "Qingming", come out."
Jia Wenyan: "Qingming Festival?"
Jia Wenyan subconsciously took over the conversation, but this time, before Zhen Yuandao could respond, the Qingming Shanghe Tu in front of them began to shine first.
[Are you having fun teasing the younger generation there? ]
Jia Wenyan: "Are you...the spirit of the Qingming Shanghe Tu?"
[Hmm, why don’t they look alike? ]
"No, no, I'm just curious, why can you, teacher..."
Jia Wenyan looked up at the male spirit floating in the air.
As the owner of the Golden Eyes of Time, it was the first time for her to see with her own eyes an artifact spirit like the Qingming Shanghe Tu, which was able to maintain its "complete adult form" even though the scroll was damaged.
Over the past year and a half, in order to learn more craft knowledge from the spirits, she has investigated the spirits in all the major museums in Xian'an City.
She believed that she had a certain understanding of most types of instrument spirits, but there was a relatively difficult exception in the process, which was the instrument spirits of words, calligraphy and painting.
In her statistics, all categories of spirit instruments in Xian'an City maintained a relative balance, but the spirit instruments of calligraphy and painting were a complete exception.
Its quantity is only one-tenth of that of other categories.
Jia Wenyan once concluded that, in addition to the fact that the preservation of calligraphy and painting cultural relics is more difficult than other cultural relics, there is another very important reason, which is the internal competition among literati works.
Just like among the same category of handicrafts, only one spirit can be born at most, the works of these literati and poets also have a very clear limitation, that is, their representative works.
When Jia Wenyan first realized this, she also felt that this mechanism was extremely unfair.
But after seeing it more often, I understood the reason.
The reason why handicrafts are born with spirit is the result of the combined effect of the technology and meaning contained in the handicrafts. However, literary works are different. Literary works contain the miracle of the combination of the author's soul and the work itself.
Therefore, in most cases, no matter how many works the author has, only the one that represents his or her best work in life will have the opportunity to be born with the recognition of the world.
Therefore, under such harsh conditions for creation and the restrictions on the preservation of literary works, there are very few instrument spirits that can still be fully manifested today.
Even though Jia Wenyan visited all the museums in Xian'an City, she only saw some "juvenile" ones, or some that were simply destroyed due to severe damage.
So when she saw that Along the River During the Qingming Festival could still retain its complete authenticity through a "copy", her first reaction was that Along the River During the Qingming Festival should have used a similar method to the Jiaoweiqin.
Although the Qingming Riverside Scene cannot be played by people in the form of a large number of textiles like the Jiaowei Qin, the popularity of the Qingming Riverside Scene is the undisputed top among all Donghuang paintings.
And if we have to say it, "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not completely without the opportunity to come into contact with ordinary people.
For example, the "Shanghe Tu Cross Stitch" is rarely seen. Although it seems a bit forced, Jia Wenyan must admit that the cross stitch, which is said to take at least three to five years to complete, does give the public a chance to understand this masterpiece in depth.
But why was Zhen Yuandao able to see the spirit of the Qingming Shanghe Tu clearly? And it seemed like they were very familiar with each other?
Jia Wenyan remembered that the spirit of the weapon could not leave the main body too far?
Zhen Yuandao lived in Xian'an for many years, and this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has been collected by the National Museum in the capital.
With a distance of thousands of kilometers, Jia Wenyan couldn't imagine how the two were related. Could it be...
"Master, you wouldn't be keeping the original painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival privately, would you?"
"Master's wife, she wouldn't have been..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person, your master?"
"Oh, I think so too. If Master's Wife wants to trap you, she doesn't need to use the Qingming Shanghe Tu..."
Zhen Yuan said: "What did you say?"
Jia Wenyan: "Um... that master, I mean..."
"Okay, actually you don't have to worry too much. Although I can see Qingming, my situation is very different from what you think."
Jia Wenyan: "Different?"
[To put it simply, I hope he can see me. ]
The man dressed in Northern Song Dynasty clothing chuckled and waved the folding fan in his hand.
However, at this moment, Jia Wenyan had no intention of discussing these things with the other party, because the first time she looked at the other party, she noticed that the painting embroidered on the hem of the spirit's clothes was exactly the painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Jia Wenyan: "Um... Big Brother, please don't move. Let me take notes."
Qingming: [No need to look for it. Your master had already searched for it the same way you did when he first met me.]
[In my body, there is indeed no "defect" that you want to know about. 】
Qingming sat down on a bench in the distance, chatting and laughing.
As we all know, all the existing copies of Along the River During the Qingming Festival in China are more or less defective.
Apart from the abrupt end of the urban crowd at the end of Along the River During the Qingming Festival, the most controversial point is the controversy over the incomplete image.
Some scholars believe that it should be a donkey, while others believe that it should be a car.
This mystery is an archaeological problem that countless scholars who study the history of Song Dynasty cultural relics want to solve.
Jia Wenyan is naturally no less inferior in this respect.
She not only wanted to know what the incomplete piece referred to, but also wanted to know whether there was a second half of the work.
Is it intentionally left blank or unfinished?
Or maybe he ended up somewhere else for some special reason.
Jia Wenyan wanted to confirm the key, but it was obvious that these anchor points of hers were also what her master Zhen Yuandao wanted to know most.
Seeing the unconcealable passion in her eyes, Qingming also wanted to respond to her. Unfortunately, as the spirit of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", although he was still able to maintain a complete body after several damages and repairs, he had already lost his complete memory.
