"As the saying goes, those who can work harder. At this time, Zhang Lao smiled and said, "Since you are sure to pass the test of the jade appraiser, then let's just take the assessment together." ”

"It's a good idea."

Tian Lao immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we have prepared two plans, you can take any test." ”

Yesterday, I received a call from Gao Dequan, and Tian Lao and others have already begun to prepare. Of course, it must focus on ceramics to see if it can stump Wang Guan.

"Then I'll take two exams too." Yu Feibai shouted, not to be outdone.

"Young people should have this ambition."

Tian Lao approved, and then smiled: "Since this is the case, let's start testing." ”

While speaking, Tian Lao reached out and touched his pocket and took out a jade pendant. Putting the jade pendant on a few cases, Tian Lao smiled lightly: "You take a look, and then talk about it." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Wang Guan was a little surprised.

"It's that simple, otherwise how complicated do you think?" Qin Lao smiled and said, "Don't you think that we should bring a lot of real and fake jade over for you to distinguish carefully?" ”

"It is estimated that he thinks that he will have to pass five levels and kill six generals before he can pass the test." Tian Lao smiled and said: "Many people who participated in the test think so, but it's a pity that the assessment is so simple. ”

"Wang Guan, don't be careless."

Zhang Lao kindly reminded: "The simpler it is, the more you can examine a person's true level." There is only one chance, and if you say it right, you will pass the assessment, if you can't say it accurately, or say that the point is not right, then you can't stand it. You go back to studying, and when you feel that you have achieved something, you can come back and take the test. ”

"Be careful, you only get one chance a year. Not this year, I can only come back next year. Tian Lao said, with a gentle attitude, but there was no joke. It's a bit impersonal, but that's how authority is established. Otherwise, the kind of assessment that can be passed after paying the money is not convincing at all.

Meanwhile. Wang Guan and Yu Feibai also put away their relaxed psychology, their expressions gradually became serious, and they planned to go all out.

"Wang Guan, you can watch first." Yu Feibai gave way, very confident.

Wang Guan was not polite, and directly picked up the jade pendants on a few cases and looked at them carefully. As soon as he got started, he felt that the weight of the jade pendant was moderate, neither light nor heavy. It's very textured. And when you take the jade pendant to the light, there is a layer of crystal clear luster flowing on the surface, as if it has been oiled. []

After that, Wang Guan began to pay attention to the shape, carving, color and other details of the jade pendant. After about twenty minutes, he put down the jade pendant and gave it to Yu Feibai to appreciate.

After Yu Feibai started to look at it, he put down the jade pendant after only ten minutes, and said confidently: "I'm optimistic." ”

"Now that you're looking at it, write down what you see." Tian Lao said with a smile. took two pieces of blank paper and handed them over, and asked Wang Guan and Yu Feibai to go aside and summarize.

Identify things and judge authenticity. Reason is needed naturally. Now Wang Guan and Yu Feibai are listing the reasons. As long as you look at their identification basis, you can know their approximate level.

After another ten minutes, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai took the answer sheet and handed it to Tian Lao. At this time, even if they are confident, they are a little like students waiting for the teacher to correct their homework, with a little expectation and apprehension in their hearts.

The two answer sheets were passed around in the hands of several old-timers, each with different expressions, and some people looked at them with a smile. Some people frowned when they saw it, and some people looked at it but remained silent, making people wonder what they thought.

"Hmmm! Not bad. ”

In the end, the answer sheet returned to Tian Lao's hands, and he praised it verbally. Then he gestured: "However, the text description is a bit dry and not detailed enough. You add to it and try to be as plump and perfect as possible. ”…,

At this time, Tian Lao pointed out and said: "Wang Guan." You speak first. ”

"First of all, the jade pendant is a fake."

Wang Guan was not stage frightened, and said eloquently: "Of course, it is not that the jade quality of the jade pendant is a fake jade made of resin and plastic, but the cheapest Jingbai jade is deliberately made with some modifications, which makes people mistakenly think that it is Hetian white jade." ”

"Hmm." Tian Lao nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"The jade quality of Jingbai jade is pure, the whole body is white, and there are no impurities. And the touch is cool and delicate, with a glass luster on the surface, which looks very similar to Hetian white jade. However, the inside of Jingbai jade is granular, the smaller the grain, the more delicate it is, the structural characteristics are not obvious, and it does not have the moisturization and toughness of Hetian white jade. ”

Wang Guan analyzed: "In addition, on this jade pendant, it should have been soaked in oil, so that there is an extra layer of oil on the surface of the jade pendant. It looks very smooth, but it looks very unnatural, and this is a more obvious flaw. ”

"That's right." Tian Lao nodded lightly and smiled, "Is there anything else to add?" ”

Wang Guan groaned slightly, then shook his head lightly and said, "It's gone." ”

Tian Lao smiled, looked at Yu Feibai, and gestured, "What about you, there should be something to add." ”

"Absolutely."

Yu Feibai was a little proud, and after glancing at Wang Guan, he smiled and said, "I'm sure that the oil soaking time of this jade pendant will not exceed a month." ”

"How?" Tian Lao said with interest, with a little smile in his eyes.

"This thing is no longer lubricated, but so greasy that it's not even a successful fake."

Yu Feibai said with a smile: "If you let people continue to play with it for another two or three months, the oil on the surface will be tightly attached to the surface of the jade pendant, forming a layer of luster and restrained pulp, maybe it will be even more difficult to identify the authenticity." ”

"Haha, young man, your eyesight is better." Tian Lao did not shy away from it, and praised it directly.

"There's no way, I usually have a lot of eyes, and I should always learn some lessons." Yu Feibai said modestly, but he couldn't hide his cheerful mood, and he was overjoyed.

"You're good."

At this time, Zhang Lao approvingly: "One has a primary level, and the other has reached an intermediate level." ”

"What, it's only intermediate?"

Wang Guan didn't care, Yu Feibai was amazed, a little unconvinced.

"What, not convinced?"

Tian Lao chuckled, picked up the jade pendant and said: "Being able to judge the authenticity and explain the reasons is the primary level; Being able to tell the specific time of the oil immersion falsification is the intermediate level. It's just that the two of you have ignored one detail, and naturally you can't get the qualification certificate of senior appraiser. ”

"What details?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai hurriedly asked.

"Color." Tian Lao said indifferently, stretched out his hand to signal, and saw that the corner of the jade pendant was a little faint, and it was not obvious that the silky white line was very inconspicuous.

"It's ...... Shuiqin. Yu Feibai's eyes widened.

"That's not right."

Wang Guan was surprised: "Didn't you say that the jade buried in the ground all the year round will produce a blue color?" Besides, this jade pendant is just a fake Hetian jade with Beijing white jade, not a new jade antique jade, where does it come from? There's no reason to fake it. ”

"Who told you that this must be Xinyu?" Tian Lao chuckled: "Actually, this is an ancient jade, but because the jade quality is not good, and the quality is ordinary, I simply let people re-polish and polish it, and then soak it in oil and color it for assessment and testing." It's a pity that your eyesight is not good, and you ignore the water on the jade. ”

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were speechless, people tried their best to sell the new jade as ancient jade, but Tian Lao was just the opposite, making the ancient jade into a new jade, and even painting snakes to add oil to color, which was clearly deliberately misleading.

However, the two of them have nothing to say, who told them not to see it, and they can't complain about others. …,

"You two, don't feel wronged." Zhang Lao took the opportunity to teach a lesson: "You must know that there are endless methods of counterfeiting now, and you, as appraisers, have a better eyesight......

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai nodded again and again, indicating that they would definitely not make the same mistake again.

In fact, this truth is very simple, just like being a corrupt official is treacherous, and being a clean official is even more treacherous, otherwise how can corrupt officials be rectified. In the same way, Tian Lao set up many traps on the jade pendant, which was nothing more than to let the two of them grow wiser, so that they could remember the lesson, so as not to be blinded in the future. It's better to plant on the props of the assessment than on the fakes that are bought and sold.

"That's it for the jade test." At this time, Tian Lao chuckled and said, "If you are not convinced, come back to the assessment next year and see if you can be promoted by one level." However, next year's topic may not be like this. ”

"I can't say more, lest everyone think that I released water and deliberately leaked the heavenly secret."

At the right time, Tian Lao smiled, turned his head and said, "Old Qin, it's time for you to shine the treasure." ”

"It's been ready for a long time." Qin Lao said with a smile, and then also took out a palm-sized box in his pocket, and then carefully put it on a few cases, and then admonished: "Look at it, be careful, so as not to damage my treasure." ”

Qin Lao's movements were very confusing. It stands to reason that with such caution, things should be true, but it is not possible that he did this on purpose, trying to mislead the two.

However, the experience of the two is relatively rich, and they have not been disturbed. After discussing a few words, Yu Feibai opened the box and looked at the contents inside.

At this time, Wang Guan looked from the side and saw Yu Feibai take out a small and delicate cup in the box. The shape of this cup is more peculiar, with a thin bottom, a circle foot, a deep circular vortex under the concave heart, and a slightly convex bottom center, as if it is a chicken heart. Therefore, there is a special term for a cup shaped like this, which is called a heart cup.

However, the most striking thing is that this small and delicate chicken heart cup has a glaze like blue milk, a bit like a cloudless sunny day. In this azure blue, there are a few pieces of begonia red, as if red clouds are floating in the blue sky.

"This is Jun porcelain!"

After taking a look, Wang Guan had a preliminary judgment. Of course, whether it is real Jun porcelain or fake Jun porcelain, it needs to be carefully identified. Jun porcelain is one of the five famous porcelain in the Song Dynasty, which is precious known as "even if there are thousands of family products, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain", "Jun porcelain is not right, the kiln becomes unique".

If the chicken heart cup in front of him was genuine Jun porcelain, then it was no wonder that Qin Lao was so nervous.
