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

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Lin Ran was stopped by someone mysteriously calling him.

Moreover, the person calling was not Chen Xing, but Mr. Lin.

This title shocked Lin Ran.

He looked at the man in front of him and felt a little strange, but he still asked politely: "Hello, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"How is that possible? Aren't you the apprentice of the curator of the National Palace Museum? My memory is pretty good, but I didn't expect that it would be you when I called him." Zhao Heng smiled and then told Lin Ran the matter.

Lin Ran was a little confused and a little excited: "It turns out to be the Zhao Research Institute of the National Museum. Why did you come to Hong Kong City?"

Lin Ran finally recognized the man in front of him, but he was so young now that Lin Ran didn't notice it at all.

Zhao Heng was his senior at the National Museum. Although the two did not have much contact, Lin Ran admired each other's knowledge of cultural relics.

This was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Lin Ran did not hide his identity, but pulled him aside and started chatting.

"Do you know me?" Zhao Heng was also surprised. He and Lin Ran had only met once at an exchange meeting. At that time, Lin Ran was questioned by Director Ma of the Archaeological Bureau in person. He sat in the audience and watched.

There were so many researchers, how could Lin Ran recognize him.

But looking at his expression and tone, it was as if he was very familiar with him, which surprised Zhao Heng.

Lin Ran nodded and said: "Of course I know him. Dr. Zhao Heng has a profound knowledge in the research of blue and white porcelain. I admire him very much."

Zhao Heng naturally didn't take other compliments seriously.

But when the other party mentioned his area of ​​expertise, he smiled from ear to ear: "No, it's just that I have been exposed to more blue and white porcelain in recent years."

Zhao Heng thought for a while. The two museums were not far away. It might be a lecture. Lin Ran could sit down and listen.

As one of the first batch of archaeological Ph.D.s in China, Zhao Heng still has a strong sense of pride.

When they were chatting happily, Yan Hong also came over.

Lin Ran used Zhao Heng's body to block the blind spot of his vision and whispered: "My name here is Chen Xing. You can't let others know my true identity."

Zhao Heng didn't react. Researchers like them rarely use pseudonyms.

He thought for a moment and suddenly realized the rare treasures in the museum.

It turned out that this guy was also here for this batch of cultural relics, and he planned to discuss the terms with Lin Ran later.

But he agreed to Lin Ran's request.

Yan Hong saw Lin Ran chatting with someone of a different grade. He was also very curious. He came up and looked at Zhao Heng with a smile, and asked Lin Ran: "Mr. Chen, who is this?"

"Hello, I am a secondary research institute of the National Museum. I happened to come to Hong Kong City for vacation. I happened to meet Chen Xing and chatted with him for a few words." Zhao Heng replied. He was also afraid that he would spill the beans if he said too much, so he Patting Lin Ran on the shoulder: "Then I will continue shopping and treat you to dinner later."

"Go slowly." Lin Ran watched him go away and was about to leave.

At this time, Yan Hong asked Lin Ran: "Do you still know the staff of the National Museum?"

For people in the antique circle, the National Museum of China is equivalent to the pinnacle of cultural relics. No matter how many cultural relics they collect, there are very few items that can reach the level of national treasures.

Most of the national treasure-level cultural relics are in the National Museum and the Palace Museum, and they can only envy them.

Even the most precious cultural relics in Zhu Yawen's collection may not be comparable to those in the National Museum.

In the past, the National Museum's rating has always been higher than that of the Palace Museum, but this year's rating seems to have changed slightly. Yan Hong has also been paying attention to the mainland's antiques circle and has a little understanding of the mainland's affairs.

"I met Research Institute Zhao when I visited the National Museum before, and we fell in love with him and became close friends." Lin Ran replied.

He was not afraid of Yan Hong continuing to ask questions, because he knew Zhao Heng's interests and hobbies very well.

Yan Hong did not pursue the question, but smiled: "You can show him around, but you have to tell him not to get interested in the old man's collection."

"That's natural." Lin Ran agreed immediately.

However, it was Yan Hong's words that reminded Lin Ran.

Zhao Henghui suddenly greeted him, probably because he was interested in the exhibits.

Most of the collections here are collections of ordinary nobles. Even if they are taken to the mainland, they will only be judged as second-level cultural relics and will not reach the level of being forcibly handed over.

But this definitely does not mean that Zhu Yawen does not have national treasure-level cultural relics in his hands. Even Lin Ran cannot get a full picture of his treasure house.

At least the cultural relics put on display are definitely not his most valuable part.

Therefore, if Zhao Heng wants to acquire these cultural relics, he really thinks too much.

What Lin Ran wants is the collection in the Qilin Society's treasure house, but with his current strength, it is far out of reach.

Zhu Yawen will not completely trust him until at least four books are retrieved.

The most urgent thing is to stay away from this place of right and wrong and thoroughly understand the contents of the secret technique of treasure appraisal.

Back in the lobby, although it was already four o'clock in the afternoon and close to closing time, the museum was still crowded and lively.

"Only six of the 22 imitations have been recognized by people. It's time for us to announce the answer." Zhu Yawen looked at the crowd of visitors below. They were no longer as active as before, but were concentrating on appreciating the cultural relics.

Lin Ran nodded. According to the agreement, he was the one who finally announced the answer.

I saw him taking two staff members out of the display cabinets one by one, then turned and walked out of the museum.

The visitors looked suspicious, and then followed Lin Ran to the courtyard of the museum.

Lin Ran explained the problem of this cultural relic to the crowd waiting in the yard. Many of them were tourists who had visited the museum before, but they did not leave because they wanted to know the final answer.

After Lin Ran's explanation, they suddenly understood, and everyone was impressed.

"It's actually possible to imitate it to this extent..."

"Maybe the only difference between it and antiques is the year it was born."

"This thing will definitely be worth a lot of money in a few decades."

In addition to expressing surprise, many people are also willing to pay to buy imitations, and the prices are not low.

In the end, Zhu Yawen personally rejected everyone.

"These imitations are actually not valuable, but they are extremely precious memories for me. I ask all of you to be beautiful adults and leave the last memory for the old man."

Zhu Yawen raised his hands and clasped his fists at everyone. No matter how stubborn he was in wanting to buy the imitation, he had no choice but to give up.
