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

The two of them looked at the plates in their hands blankly, with happy faces on their faces.

"Lao Dong! This is Xi Jiapan!"

"I know! Come and see if it's the real thing?"

The two of them were like children who saw a favorite toy. They had forgotten their age and that they were now helping Ma Zhen as a referee.

But neither of them were sure, so they had to raise their heads and cast their eyes on Lin Ran for help.

"Mr. Chen, where did you get this armor plate?" Director Dong asked cautiously.

"You should have seen the flour at the bottom of the plate and the ash at the bottom, right?" Lin Ran smiled, "I bought it from a pancake stall. Maybe this is its fate."

When the Xijia plate was first excavated, it was also used as a kitchen utensil.

Unexpectedly, 1000 years later, it would once again be used as a kitchen utensil.

Professor Li sighed with emotion, "What a waste of natural resources!"

He tried his best to wipe the dust at the bottom with a rag. The entire rag was completely black. He took off his clothes again and started wiping without caring about his appearance.

When Ma Zhen saw Professor Li's reaction, he also realized the preciousness of this cultural relic.

But he still raised a question: "Professor Li, Xi Jia Pan is extremely valuable, but how can you be sure it is genuine?"

After all, Lin Ran bought it from a pancake stall, which was too dramatic.

This means that there is no one on this street who knows the goods, and they waited until Lin Ran appeared before digging them out.

Doesn't this make a mockery of the fact that Hong Kong City is so huge but it doesn't have a single talent?

Director Dong hesitated to speak, but Professor Li spoke up: "This armor plate is indeed real."

"Xijiapan's Xijia actually refers to Yin Jifu, the main compiler of "The Book of Songs". Yin Jifu was a general who was ordered by King Xuan of Zhou to go out to conquer the wolves. Made possible by his illustrious military exploits."

"This plate has a natural rust color and has ears attached. You can see that a pair of short stems are added to the connection between the ears and the body of the plate to solidify the connection. This is the common practice for plates and tripods with shallow belly and hoofs from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period. "

"Not many bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty have been recorded. It will take time to decipher the words on it. I wonder if Mr. Chen can lend it to me for a few days so that I can study it carefully?"

As Professor Li talked, he began to think about Xi Jiapan.

Lin Ran planned to take the Xi Jiapan back to the Palace Museum. You must know that in the previous life, they spent [-] million to buy the real thing from the United States.

Lin Ran said: "No need, let me explain it to you."

Hearing this, Professor Li and Director Dong were shocked.

Professor Li immediately clasped his fists and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"The overlord died in March of the fifth year of the year of Ji, Geng Yin, and Wang Chu decided to attack Yan Yu in Tuxi..." Lin Ran had already memorized the above text and read it out word for word.

"The word "death" here means not showing mercy, and "entering the barbarian territory" means doing business in the territory."

After reading it, he also explained the obscure parts.

The three of them listened intoxicatedly, and it took them a long time to react until Lin Ran finished speaking.

"I see, that's such a good word!" Director Dong praised.

Ma Zhen also admired Lin Ran's knowledge. Even if it wasn't the words above, his ability to speak clearly was still a skill.

But he still raised questions: "You know the words on it, but it doesn't mean it is authentic. Who knows whether it is a Qingming imitation?"

Professor Li didn't know how to respond, but Lin Ran said with a smile: "There are no traces of the ear and plate of the imitation, because the technology of later generations has matured, and the bronze plate can be cast in one piece. But look carefully at this piece There is a mud core on the armor plate and under the ear, and there are obvious traces of the core."

"Because this item was made through the mold casting method. If it is an imitation after the Ming Dynasty, the lost wax casting method is usually used."

"The Xi Jia Pan was born in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and was cast under the order of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. The bronze plates cast by this method are more refined and made in one go. They are definitely not imitations."

After Lin Ran explained, Ma Zhen was completely convinced.

The Xijia plate he selected was undoubtedly genuine.

However, the corners of Ma Zhen's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally thought that the other party must have used the techniques in "The Secret Art of Treasure Appraisal".

Although he has not learned any of the skills, he has heard that there is a skill called smelling color, which can determine the age by identifying the "qi" inherent in cultural relics.

Things found in this way will definitely not be fakes, but if the treasure appraiser does not have relevant skills, he will never be able to justify it, because other people cannot sense the existence of this kind of energy at all. He originally wanted to use this to Lin Ran Fight back.

But he didn't expect that his professional knowledge was so solid that he could find this cultural relic even without smelling it.

After Lin Ran finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Director Dong even showed a look of great admiration.

"Mr. Chen is indeed a famous teacher and a great disciple, I admire him!"

After speaking, he bowed, which is the highest etiquette in the world of treasure appraisal.

Professor Li still didn't react and asked, "Who is Mr. Chen's teacher?"

"Zhu Yawen." Director Dong said quickly.

Professor Li showed an expression of disbelief, and then suddenly realized: "Are you Chen Xing?"

Obviously he has also watched the program "The Treasure Appraisal Winner". Zhu Yawen will be on the program, how could he miss it.

This made him even more certain that the Xijia Plate in his hand was genuine.

"This is an important weapon of the Western Zhou Dynasty! Lao Dong, how much funding does our museum have?"

Director Dong quickly ran to his desk and rummaged through the drawers.

Then he looked disappointed: "There are only [-] left."

Professor Li heard this and said to Lin Ran: "Our museum only has 5 yuan, all of it will be given to you. Can you sell Xijiapan to us?"

There was a look of pleading in his eyes.

Lin Ran did not answer in a hurry, but said, "We are still competing. You might as well tell us what your estimate is."

In fact, Ma Zhen also knew that he had lost, but he still wanted to know the valuation of Xi Jiapan among the two seniors.

Professor Li hesitated to speak, not knowing whether it was appropriate to say it.

After all, they want to take this cultural relic, and they are too high-minded, fearing that they will not be able to take the pot.

It was Director Dong who said, "Old Li, we have to be trustworthy, so just tell the truth."

"Okay." Professor Li made up his mind and held out five fingers.

Lin Ran thought he was talking about fifty thousand, and sneered inwardly.

If you want to buy Xijia Pan for 5 yuan, you might as well save some money.

This thing was sold for 2010 million Chinese coins in 1000.

"50...Chinese currency, equivalent to 100 million Hong Kong dollars."

Lin Ran felt that the price was about the same, after all, the age had to be taken into consideration.
