Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

On the way to Xu's hometown, Mr. Song talked about a past event.

About 20 years ago, it was not as developed as it is now, and there were very few people appraising treasures, but a unique climate has gradually formed.

"What do you think is the most important thing about treasure appraisal?" Song Lao asked Lin Ran, wanting to see how much he understood about treasure appraisal.

Lin Ran didn't quite understand and replied: "The most important thing in treasure appraisal should be eyesight and experience."

"Yes, the Mr. Xu we are going to meet today is such a master treasure appraiser."

Mr. Xu’s real name is Xu Hong. He was keen on antique appreciation when he was young and showed his extraordinary talent. At that time, he was not complacent. At that time, a large number of artworks were destroyed. He was engaged in this industry. In fact, there are great risks.

At that time, there was not even enough food to eat, and most people were working in the fields.

When his family was impoverished, Mr. Xu supplemented the family income by picking up leaks, but at that time, they were not sold to a treasure appraisal shop, but to a pawn shop.

But Mr. Xu did not abandon his hobby. He became self-taught by picking up books discarded by others. Through continuous accumulation, he finally got an invitation from the museum as soon as possible after resuming his education and became a researcher of the museum.

As he grew older, Mr. Xu's appraisal skills became more and more sophisticated, and through continuous learning and accumulation, he finally became recognized as a top treasure appraiser in the industry.

In the National Palace Museum, even Tang Lanxuan had to call him "senior".

When Lin Ran listened to his story, it was as if he saw another version of himself.

In fact, when Mr. Xu was young, the museum at that time would openly acquire cultural relics in the museum in order to expand the number of collections.

At that time, a businessman brought a cloisonné vase. When the researcher was about to buy it, Mr. Xu stopped him because he found something abnormal about the item, and then openly confronted the businessman and asked him He asked speechlessly.

Eventually, everyone learned that the vase was a replica of a Ming Dynasty cloisonné, and that the materials and production techniques did not meet the standards of the time.

He helped the museum avoid possible losses in time, and because of this incident, his accomplishments in porcelain were finally recognized by the people in the museum.

The porcelain later sent to the museum will basically be judged by his hands. Mr. Xu is also very confident. He can accurately judge whether it is genuine or fake. Most of the porcelain that can be seen in the museum today has been judged by his hands. Mr. Xu’s hand was used for identification.

After listening to Mr. Song's story, Lin Ran nodded in agreement.

Looking back on my first impression of meeting Mr. Xu at the auction, I can tell that he is a very professional person.

"The reason why I tell you this is because I think you have enough professional qualities, but you still lack experience. Don't be complacent because of your current results. Only through continuous learning and accumulation can you eventually become a true professional." Master." Song Lao said earnestly.

"Thank you, Mr. Song, for your teaching." Lin Ran lowered his head in approval.

"Okay, it's in the yard in front." While they were chatting, they had already arrived at Xincheng Street.

This is an old-fashioned residential area. Many university professors also live here. Most of the professors have their own life aspirations. When you walk into this street, you can hear the chirping of birds and plants are planted in every house. , with different colors and smells, full of joy of life.

The streets were of the same standard as those of later generations, showing a completely different style.

Lin Ran and Mr. Song came to the gate of an old courtyard. They were originally worried that they might recognize the wrong person. But when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw Mr. Xu pruning potted plants in the yard.

Mr. Song immediately greeted Mr. Xu: "Old Xu."

Mr. Xu was concentrating on pruning potted plants. When he heard someone greeting him, he raised his head and gently adjusted his glasses.

Then he saw the two people standing at the door of the courtyard. They suddenly smiled, walked over quickly, and opened the door.

"Old Song, what brought you here today? Come on, come in and sit down." He responded to Old Song's greeting. The two little old men looked like children and seemed very excited.

Lin Ran was smiling next to him. Both of them were senior experts in the treasure appraisal world, and their relationship was very pure and simple.

After the two exchanged greetings, Mr. Xu turned his attention to Lin Ran next to him. Lin Ran was about to introduce himself. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu had a very good memory and said with a smile: "Aren't you Tang Lanxuan's disciple Lin Ran? We were just here some time ago. I’ve seen it in Liuyun Baoshi.”

"It turns out you guys know each other." Mr. Song said.

"Of course, this little brother not only has a high level of treasure appraisal, but also has a very charming personality. Under his leadership, I was able to donate those five items to the museum some time ago."

"Oh! No wonder I said why you suddenly got five treasures? So there is such a thing!" Mr. Song looked like he suddenly realized something.

Immediately afterwards, they accepted Mr. Xu's warm invitation and went to sit at his home.

The decoration inside his house is very simple, it is an old house structure from the 80s. The bottom of the wall is painted with one-meter-high green paint, and the top is all white, but the front is still full of potholes and has not been smoothed.

Mr. Xu simply prepared two cups of tea for them and said: "My tea leaves are very average, so you can make do with them."

"Where." Lin Ran stood up, bowed and took the tea cup, and then expressed his gratitude to Mr. Xu.

"Yes." Mr. Xu and Mr. Song both nodded slightly. There are more and more young people who don't understand the rules. They call it personality, but in fact they don't take other people seriously.

After the three of them exchanged polite greetings, Mr. Song said: "Old Xu, actually it's not me who comes to see you today, it's Mr. Lin..."

"Don't talk about it yet." Mr. Xu smiled mysteriously. He seemed to have guessed that Lin Ran would come to him. He was not in a hurry to ask the reason for coming, but said: "Since you two have come to my home, I happen to have a piece of porcelain in my hand, why don’t we all come and appreciate it together?”

Treasure appraisal?This is really the way of communication that the older generation likes.

Mr. Song's eyes lit up: "Old Xu, have you got another treasure?"

"That's right! This is the only hobby we've had in this life!" Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Little Lin, are you interested in playing with us two old men?"

Although there was something very important, Lin Ran felt that Mr. Xu was testing himself, so he nodded happily and agreed.

Mr. Xu put down his tea cup and went to his room. Not long after, he came out with a porcelain bottle about twenty centimeters tall.
