Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's a Fake
Tang Yining looked at the things he had carefully carved, very satisfied, and deliberately took it in front of Xie Tianrui, and took the initiative to ask for credit, "Look, how are these!" ”
She is very satisfied with her craft, in modern times, she is a famous person, but unfortunately, accidentally crossed here, picked up the old business, or more confident!
Xie Tianrui had only seen others holding something that had been carved and offering it to him, and the lines and curves on it had all been carved.
Now, he can look at an ordinary piece of jewelry and put it in front of Tang Yining, but after a few hours, it has become such an ingenious treasure, which makes him a little dumbfounded.
"Is this really what you did?"
Xie Tianrui was shocked, stared at the jewelry repeatedly, and couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again.
Tang Yining took his surprise into his eyes, raised his eyebrows upwards lightly, clasped his hands around his chest, sat on the chair, and sighed lightly: "Oh, dignified little county king, is it possible that you haven't even seen this?" Wouldn't it be a joke if you let others know about it? ”
Before Xie Tianrui could speak, the entourage next to him couldn't look at it, defending the little county king, and retorted: "Miss Tang Er, my little county king disdains this, and wants to give the girl a face!" ”
After all, the entourage came out of the county king's mansion, and every word and deed was to protect Xie Tianrui.
Tang Yining deliberately snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and praised loudly, "Not bad, not bad, really good, I can't imagine that the little guy from the palace of the little county dares to talk like this?" It can be seen that the little county king is majestic in the mansion! ”
On the surface, Tang Yining was praising his entourage and heartily, but thinking deeply, it was another meaning.
Xie Tianrui was immediately slightly angry, glanced at the entourage behind him, and said with some reproach: "You go to the kitchen to prepare something for the king of this county!" ”
So saying, he drove out his attendants.
Tang Yining snickered beside him, he didn't expect this little county king to be so interesting, but he underestimated it in the past.
"Ahem" Xie Tianrui cleared his throat and deliberately glanced at her.
Tang Yining immediately stopped laughing, sat on the chair and held back a smile, looking very funny, which made Xiao Cui next to him laugh secretly.
Tang Yining deliberately scolded, "Don't laugh, you can go out too!" ”
Since Xie Tianrui has driven out all her entourage, she can't let her maid be in the hall.
In an instant, there were only the two of them left in the hall, Xie Tianrui gently put her carved jewelry in his hand, and carefully studied the lines on it, which was incredible.
It's just an ordinary jade, and in just a few hours, it has become a piece of jewelry.
"It's really peculiar, I can't imagine it! You made this exactly the same as mine, not the slightest! ”
Xie Tianrui looked at the two same things, and he couldn't see any difference when he looked closely.
At this time, Tang Yining put down the teacup in his hand, came to his side, picked up the piece of jewelry, and looked at the jewelry he bought, although the two were not different, there was still a certain gap.
Look carefully at the veins, textures, and colors on it, and look at your own, although the shape is the same, there is always a difference.
"Little Junwang, can you see the difference?"
Tang Yining took the initiative to ask, put the two jade pendants in his hands, and put the candle flame next to him, shining more brightly.
The little king shook his head, "The two jade pendants are exactly the same, there is no difference!" ”
Xie Tianrui just saw something from the surface, the color of the two jade pendants was the same, and the style was the same, so he naturally felt that it was the same one.
In Tang Yining's eyes, it's a different matter.
"Xiaojun Wang, you are usually well-informed, and you naturally have seen a lot of jewelry and jade pendants, and they are all good things, so naturally you won't know this kind of clumsy method!" Tang Yining explained.
The more Xie Tianrui listened, the more confused he became, looking at the jade pendant without a difference, and retorted again, "Won't it?" This jade pendant is what I wear on my daily life, how can something go wrong? ”
On weekdays, his own things are all of the highest quality, a dignified little county king, and the things he wears with him are fakes, won't he lose face when it is passed out?
Tang Yining didn't speak, but shouted towards the door, "Xiaocui, go outside and bring a basin of hot water, let's bring a pot of charcoal!" ”
Tang Yining is a person who makes jewelry by hand in modern times, so she naturally knows how to distinguish the real from the fake.
The maid took the order, and in a short time she brought back all the things she needed.
Tang Yining put the basin on the table, and touched it lightly with his fingertips, testing that the water temperature was just right, and stirred the fire with a pair of pliers!
Seeing the firelight, I smiled with great satisfaction.
Facing Xie Tianrui next to him, he raised his eyebrows, "Come, let you witness it." ”
Xie Tianrui looked at her blankly, and he was very stunned in his heart, but he still came behind her.
Tang Yining wiped the two jade pendants with a handkerchief, touched them lightly with his hand, and saw that they were very smooth, so he put the two jade pendants into the basin.
Xie Tianrui looked a little strange from the side, and asked, "What are you doing here, this is a jade pendant!" Do you put it in hot water? Wash? ”
Tang Yining couldn't help laughing, and sneered at the little county king in front of him in his heart, and still sighed secretly: Those who don't know are fearless!
"There are many ways to identify real and fake jade pendants, according to the different materials and colors of this jade, the identification methods that exist are different, I use hot water to test, but it is just the most common method!"
Tang Yining patiently explained, anyway, the above things are all his own, so that the little county king also has a lot of knowledge!
After about five minutes of sitting in the water, he began to gently take out the jade pendant with chopsticks and put it on top of two plates.
The plate was white, and the jade pendant had just been salvaged from the warm water, so naturally it had brought some moisture on it.
"It hasn't changed! Are you mistaken? Xie Tianrui never believed that what he had on him turned out to be a fake. After all, he is the little county king of Prince Gong's mansion, and this thing is brought with him every day
Tang Yining looked at the two jade pendants, squatted down, looked at the color on them, there was not much change, and aimed the flame on the candlelight at the jade pendants, wanting to see it more clearly.
Nowadays, in this ancient world, there is no magnifying glass, no strong lights, and the sky outside
Not so well, these external factors will also affect the method of identification.
You can only rely on water and fire, these two methods.
"You'll know in a moment!" Tang Yining replied to her words.
At this time, Tang Yining picked up the jade pendant he carved and put it on a clean handkerchief, because the handkerchief was made of silk, it was extremely smooth, and it was still white, and he wiped the water droplets on the jade pendant vigorously.
Another jade pendant also used the same method, wiping the water droplets on it.
It wasn't until the two jade pendants were wiped clean that the two handkerchiefs were laid flat on the table.
Tang Yining looked at the marks on the handkerchief that were slightly stained, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile on Li.
beckoned to Xie Tianrui, "Little County King, come and see!" ”
Xie Tianrui walked over, put the handkerchief in his hand, and looked at it carefully, because the color was very light, he didn't find any difference.
"Isn't the handkerchief white? The handkerchief that has been rubbed with jade is also white. ”
Tang Yining is very sensitive to color and these jades, after all, in modern times, this is his own work.
Looking at Xie Tianrui's blank face, he took a handkerchief and pulled him out and came to the courtyard, although the sky was a little dark, it was still brighter than in the house.
Tang Yining raised the handkerchief, pointed it towards the sun, and pointed it to him, "Look at the color on it, isn't it different!" ”
Xie Tianrui followed her gesture, looked at it, and sure enough, he found the clue, and immediately exclaimed, "How is this explained?" ”
Hearing this, Tang Yining returned to the house, put the two kinds of jewelry on the charcoal brazier, and roasted them in a circle for about five minutes.
Only then did he take it down and put it on a clean plate.
He also put a spray that he had developed in modern times, which is a modern medicinal water, which can be quickly identified.
When she first came to ancient times, she didn't have this kind of thing, and she was afraid that there would be problems in the future, so she found a substitute herb through various channels, and this bottle of water was born.
Tang Yining couldn't explain what this was to the people here, so he simply said the spray, but they couldn't understand it anyway.
Sprinkled lightly on it, there were all two jade pendants, and now the color on the other jade pendant was slowly stained on the plate, and it was gently falling off.
Seeing this, Xie Tianrui was very surprised, "This is?" What's going on! ”
Tang Yining explained impatiently: "The jade is baked, and the shape on it is indeed hand-carved, and the color on it is different depending on the type of jade, which is why!" ”
"Your jade pendant is emerald green, and the color on it is stained, not the original color of the jade, so under the two methods of water and fire, the color on this jade pendant will also fall down, but the shape on it has not fallen!"
Xie Tianrui listened to it ignorantly, and admired Tang Yining a lot more in his heart, how could the second lady in a dignified mansion know so many things, and she could still create these things with her own hands?
"Let me tell you this, it is equivalent to the color of the jade is emerald green, and the color of Hetian jade is different, if someone wants to be shoddy, it is enough to use this way directly!"
