Chapter 234: Mao Sui recommended himself
Liu Chao pretended to be angry, "Still called uncle?" ”
Luo Ping scratched his head and shouted embarrassedly, "Godfather." ”
Liu Chao smiled and said, "Okay, I know if you're not used to being called, let's call you uncle, but don't see us in the future, I and your Aunt Xiong, and Lulu all like you very much, and I really hope that you can become a member of our family." ”
Luo Ping nodded heavily, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
Judging from today's short contact, he can really feel the sincerity and care of Liu Chao's family for him, although he is still a little rusty with them, but their sincerity really touched him, and I believe that with the passage of time, this sense of alienation will soon dissipate.
During the long holiday, there were a lot of tourists from all over the country who came to the capital to play, and the road was jammed, Liu Chao drove steadily, and finally took Luo Ping to the museum after more than an hour.
This is the first time Luo Ping has come to the Beijing Museum, only to see a huge classical style building majestic and ancient, behind it, there are several single-family buildings of the same style arranged in a staggered manner. The whole museum is shaded by trees, clean and tidy, and very beautifully maintained, which is several grades higher than that of the Jiangcheng Museum.
Liu Chao's face has been cold since he got out of the car, and his body exudes a cold momentum.
This kind of incident in the museum is a big scandal for both the museum and the Cultural Relics Bureau, and it must be handled with great caution.
But despite this, Luo Ping said that he wanted to come and see with him, but he agreed without saying a word, which shows what kind of height his love for Luo Ping has reached in his heart.
During the long holiday, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit and study in the museum, and the main museum is even more crowded. They did not enter the main building, but walked directly into a detached building to the left of the main building.
In the director's office, Luo Ping met Xiao Jianmin.
Although Xiao Jianmin is only fifty-eight years old, he is already full of white hair and has an old face, and he looks like an old man in his sixties.
He saw Liu Chao stagnating behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, "Captain Liu, why did you come here in person?" ”
Liu Chao glanced left and right, in addition to Xiao Jianmin in the office, there were several gray-haired old experts, and his partner Xiao Deng was also there.
"Director Xiao, how did you discuss it? Is it guaranteed that the screening of cultural relics will be completed before the end of the long holiday? ”
Xiao Jianmin looked embarrassed and said bitterly, "Captain Liu, to tell you the truth, it is difficult to complete the screening of cultural relics within three days. The point is that there are too few people, so I can't keep busy. ”
Liu Chao motioned for Luo Ping to sit down on the sofa next to him with him, "No matter what, we must complete the screening work before the end of the long vacation." Director Xiao, you also know the stakes of this incident this time, if it spreads, the consequences will be very serious. ”
Xiao Jianmin sighed heavily, "You see, several old experts from our pavilion are here, and I was discussing this matter with them just now. They are all old experts who have been engaged in archaeological work all their lives, and this time they can't let more people know, so this screening work is mainly done by a few of them. ”
After speaking, Xiao Jianmin introduced the five old experts to Liu Chao one by one.
"Captain Liu, we discussed it just now, three days, even if we don't rest, we can only screen half of it at most, the time is too tight."
The speaker was an old expert surnamed Ma, who looked quite old, but Jīng was powerful and spoke sonorously.
Liu Chao nodded and said, "Ma Lao, you are a senior expert in the industry, of course I believe your words." But time waits for no one, if this matter leaks out of the news, and those fakes are discovered by those who have a heart, we are all sinners of the country. Only by discovering problems in the shortest possible time and trying to recover losses can we turn passive into active and strive for a favorable situation. ”
For a moment, there was silence in the office. Liu Chao thought for a while and continued to say to the old experts, "Old Ma, can you think of a quick screening method to complete this screening work as soon as possible with the same personnel and time." ”
The white-haired Ma Lao smiled and said, "Captain Liu, don't be surprised if I say something. You are not specialized in the identification of cultural relics, and you may not know much about the characteristics of this industry. Hardly any of the more than 3,000 cultural relics that need to be identified this time are the same. Among them, there are ancient porcelain, ancient calligraphy and painting, bronze, jade, and ancient silk products, etc., there are many types, and they must be looked at one by one and carefully to distinguish them. Even if a few of us do this work, it will take three to five minutes to look at a thing, and you can calculate how many things we can see in a day? ”
Liu Chao frowned, he knew that what the other party said was the truth, but he had given a death order from above, and he had to complete this screening within the specified time no matter what.
"Captain Liu, can you talk to the bureau and transfer a few more senior experts. With just a few of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this mission. ”
Liu Chao shook his head and sighed, "Impossible, the leader has repeatedly emphasized that this matter must be digested within your pavilion and must not be spread." ”
Xiao Jianmin sighed depressedly, several people lit cigarettes one after another, and the closed room was suddenly filled with smoke.
Liu Chao's beautiful colleague Deng Ying covered her mouth and nose with her hand, and turned her head sideways to Luo Ping and said, "You don't smoke." ”
Luo Ping smiled and nodded.
"That's good, they're all old smokers, and they're smoking people to death."
Deng Ying fanned the smoke in front of her with her hand, tilted her head and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Captain Liu?" ”
She flashed a pair of good-looking big eyes and looked at Luo Ping carefully, she really couldn't figure out how Liu Chao would suddenly lose control of her emotions after seeing him yesterday.
"Uncle Liu is my long-lost uncle." Luo Ping replied politely.
"Is it dear?"
"No, but it's closer than a kiss."
Deng Ying frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his answer. Just when she was about to continue to ask, Luo Ping suddenly stood up.
"Why don't you let me try?"
The words were like a shock, and the whole room looked up at him.
Xiao Jianmin asked Liu Chao in surprise, "Captain Liu, who is this?" ”
"His name is Luo Ping, and the celadon vase that Zheng Jinyong secretly took from Zheng Jinsong was sold to Xiao Luo's master, so he is also one of the parties in this matter."
After Liu Chao finished explaining, he asked Luo Ping again, "Do you know how to screen antiques?" ”
Luo Ping sat down again and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, didn't I tell you, I worshipped several teachers during my time at Jiang University. ”
Liu Chao smiled dumbly, "How long have you been studying!" The identification of cultural relics is a very complex work, which requires long-term knowledge accumulation and practice. At best, you've only been learning for just over a year, no, no, no. ”
Xiao Jianmin was a little excited after hearing Luo Ping's words just now, but when he heard them say this, he also smiled bitterly, "Captain Liu is right, the identification of cultural relics is not so easy." Xiao Luo, I have received your wishes, this time the task is heavy, and we also hope to increase helpers, but ...... The premise is that nothing can go wrong, you know? ”
Luo Ping came forward because he saw that they were indeed very difficult, but since he had already said it, he would not back down again. After listening to Liu Chao and Xiao Jianmin, he smiled and said, "What I said is true." I've been adamant about artifacts for a while, fast and accurate, and if you don't believe it, you can find a few things to try. ”
Liu Chao looked at him in surprise, "What you said is true?" ”
Luo Ping nodded.
Liu Chao believes that Luo Ping will not lie to himself, since he said so, then he must really be firm in cultural relics. So he turned his head to look at Xiao Jianmin, but Xiao Jianmin shook his head again and again, and said with a smile, "No, no, young people like him in our museum can't identify it at all, not to mention that the fakes this time are all high-quality imitations, which is very difficult." ”
Liu Chao felt that Xiao Jianmin's words did make sense, even if Luo Ping was a prodigy, he needed to continue to learn and accumulate in order to become an expert, not to mention that the firm work of cultural relics requires not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also continuous practice.
Therefore, he was also a little hesitant for a while.
Luo Ping smiled, didn't argue with them much, turned his head to Deng Ying and said, "Sister Deng, can you lend me the bracelet on your hand." ”
Deng Ying was wearing a neat work uniform, and there was a round jade bracelet on her left wrist hidden in the slightly loose cuffs, so she really couldn't figure out how Luo Ping knew that she was wearing a bracelet on her wrist.
However, she still readily agreed, took the jade bracelet off her hand, and handed it to Luo Ping.
Luo Ping took the jade bracelet and looked at it a few times, then got up with a smile and handed it to Ma Lao opposite.
"Ma Lao, take a look. This jade bracelet should be something from the last years of the Qing Dynasty, do you think it's right? ”
Ma Lao looked at the jade bracelet carefully, and then handed it to several old experts around him to look at it, and several people glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
"Yes, judging from the pulp, this bracelet is indeed something in the last years of the Qing Dynasty." Ma Lao returned the jade bracelet to Deng Ying.
Xiao Jianmin was slightly surprised, but he was still not at ease, so he picked up the phone on the table and called out.
"Xiao Liu, you bring the few things I put in the laboratory yesterday to my office."
It wasn't long before a young man knocked on the door with a cardboard box and walked in. After the young man left, Xiao Jianmin said with a smile, "Xiao Luo, I have a total of five things here, including real and fake, you can take a look." ”
Luo Ping got up with a smile and walked over, glanced at it casually, and took out a beautiful blue and white porcelain vase and a very small lacquer wooden box made of jīng.
"These two are fakes, and the rest are genuine."
