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

This colleague is a woman about 40 years old. She looks very ordinary, but she exudes a mysterious feeling.

Zhao Heng wanted to step forward to confirm the authenticity, but was stopped by the staff.

"Although this is an imitation, not everyone can touch it. Please forgive me, sir."

"You're so stingy. You won't even let anyone touch the imitation product." Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, but he had already seen clearly that the seal on it was indeed left by her colleague.

She is a cultural relic restorer at the National Museum, but her origins are very mysterious. Only the curator knows her true identity. Researchers like Zhao Heng have little contact with her.

However, all the staff knew that she was not only good at restoring cultural relics, but also had the ability to forge them.

This is a secret of the museum and has not been publicized to the outside world, so Zhao Heng chose to remain silent.

It’s interesting that the imitations appeared at an exhibition in Hong Kong City.

Zhao Heng returned to the team, and he became more and more interested in the true identity of the collector.

The exhibition was originally held and 22 imitations were set up just to create some gimmicks.

None of the researchers, including Director Dong, believed that any treasure appraiser could truly find the imitation.

When they received the cultural relics, they also conducted appraisals themselves.

If Yan Hong hadn't pointed it out personally, they would never have thought that the imitation product could simulate it to such an extent.

As for the bonus, he is not worried, because Zhu Yawen said that if someone really sees the imitation, he is willing to pay their own reward out of his own pocket.

To various extents, the museum's holding of this exhibition is basically a waste of time.

But to their surprise, just after Feng Xiaofeng, another bronze imitation was recognized.

And this person is also very familiar to them, it is Li Youwei, the daughter of the Li family.

She judged the imitation through the leather shell of the bronze.

Zhu Yawen also nodded in appreciation. The woman in front of him was very talented and did not have the aggressive attitude of Feng Xiaofeng, which left a good impression on Zhu Yawen.

He also joked to Lin Ran: "If you gave the wrong answer, she would be the one standing here now."

"That's not bad." Lin Ran replied. Li Youwei was indeed different from other treasure appraisers. In comparison, her historical knowledge was more solid.

I just feel strange, if you want to learn the history of China, why should you go to the UK to study? Wouldn't it be better to study locally?

But he obviously doesn't understand how wealthy families operate.

Qingshui University and Jingcheng University, two of the most well-known universities in Mainland China, are famous for their science and literature in the country.

But in today's Hong Kong city, it is difficult to convince the public.

If you want to gain prestige among your family, the best way is to study in England. This is their background in this era.

Lin I didn't take it seriously. I could see that Li Youwei still recognized the traditional Chinese culture. It could be seen from her clothes, words and deeds.

What surprised him was that she actually did research on ancient bronzes.

Because bronzes have been buried underground for a long time, they are greatly affected by the underground environment. When they are unearthed, they will show varying degrees of corrosion.

This is also a little trick for identifying the authenticity of bronzes.

When most of the bronzes were unearthed, they showed the appearance they heard. The outermost layer was often green rust, but of course it could also be ancient green or black.

Under the green rust, there is often a layer of blue rust, which is commonly known as peacock blue in the antique world. Peacock blue is usually the best among bronzes.

The second layer of bronze is red rust.

The third layer is made of gold or silver. Ancient bronzes, especially cultural relics, are usually gilded or silver-plated. The third layer is made of this material.

It wasn't until the fourth level that the real bronze material appeared.

Some bronze imitations often only imitate three layers, ignoring the gold and silver layers. They can be identified through this method.

In addition, the surface of genuine bronze wares will also develop a layered texture due to aging and shrinkage, forming a thick leather shell and even having the characteristics of orange peel.

Not to mention the high imitation products of this era are difficult to imitate to this extent. Even in the Internet era, it is difficult for machines to polish this kind of texture.

Therefore, distinguishing the sense of layering is actually an important indicator in bronze treasure appraisal.

This is the theory, but the actual situation still needs to be differentiated.

Li Youwei identified high-imitation bronzes through this method. Like Feng Xiaofeng, she did not accept the bonus, but instead donated it to the museum.

But she made a request, to shake hands with Mr. Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen agreed with a smile. Lin Ran saw the way he smiled and thought to himself: "If it were Feng Xiaofeng, he would probably reject it directly, this old man."

They didn't get along for long, but Lin Ran was already sure in his heart that apart from appraising treasures, he was definitely not a serious guy.

Next, three more people recognized the imitations respectively, and some other spectators, whose identification skills were relatively poor, raised questions about several genuine items. In the end, Lin Ran did not need to come forward, and Director Dong answered the questions. .

People's enthusiasm did not fade because they could not identify the imitations. They were completely inspired to fight and carefully observed every exhibit in the museum. Since being restricted, the museum has not seen such a lively scene for a long time. .

Director Dong and other researchers were all smiling from ear to ear. Whether this museum could make money was secondary. Their primary purpose was to pass on culture.

Zhao Heng, who had been waiting in line, finally entered the museum.

Looking at the collections in the museum, his eyes lit up.

This collector's collection actually contains many first-class cultural relics.

It's a pity that this is a port city, otherwise the museum would definitely ask him to hand it over.

But what Zhao Heng couldn't figure out was where did these things come from?

Take the bronzes from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as an example. Their scale is even larger than the Eastern Zhou Cultural Center in the National Museum. It takes a lot of effort to acquire such valuable cultural relics.

And he has not forgotten the purpose of his trip. He has no intention of identifying the imitations. He just wants to take the opportunity to get to know the collector, hoping to negotiate with him to repatriate some cultural relics with historical research value.

Following the crowd and visiting the museum, he saw Lin Ran and Zhu Yawen talking on the stairs on the second floor.

The moment he saw Lin Ran, he felt a little familiar.

The old man next to him should be the organizer of this exhibition, because he exudes an extraordinary and extraordinary temperament.

At this moment, Lin Ran was about to go to the bathroom.

He left Director Dong and others and found an opportunity. Zhao Heng immediately followed him.
