Chapter 134: The Color of Gold
The Royal Manor.
Wang Anshun sat on the main seat and looked at Lin Cheng and Wang Ruyan, who had just come back.
"Xiaolin, you tell me carefully, why you judged that the golden-handled iron sword was fake."
"Uncle, you should know a lot about ancient gold artifacts."
"This is nature, there are many kinds of ancient gold objects, and most of them can be of high purity, such as gold cakes and the like, which can be made of ninety-nine pure gold."
The purification process of ancient gold is still quite powerful.
The gold cakes, gold plates and other objects of the Han Dynasty can be made of ninety-nine pure gold, gold seals, gold bowls, etc., and can be made of ninety-eight pure gold.
One of the characteristics of pure gold is that it is soft.
The purer the gold, the softer it is.
Therefore, ornamental objects are usually made of gold with higher purity, but utilitarians, especially those with heavier weights, will be mixed with other metals in gold, thereby increasing rigidity and hardness.
Lin Cheng distinguished the purity of the gold from the color of the gold handle, and finally saw the clues of authenticity.
"What does the uncle think the gold handle of the gold-handled iron sword should be?"
"This ······"
Wang Anshun frowned and thought about it.
The golden-handled iron sword must not just be put on display, but must have a certain practicality.
In this way, it cannot be made of pure gold.
Because pure gold is too soft, and there is no hardening process of pure gold in ancient times, if the pancake is completely pure gold, the iron blade inserted into it will quickly pull the gold handle and deform.
After making a rough estimate in his heart, Wang Anshun gave an answer.
"I've checked some information, and on a similar gold-handled iron sword, the gold content of the gold-handled iron sword is about five to sixty percent, so this gold-handled iron sword should be the same."
"Uncle is right, then the next thing to talk about is the color of gold."
"The purer the gold, the more red and yellow the color, and the lower the purity of the gold, the color will turn blue or even white."
"That's right."
Wang Anshun nodded again and again.
There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement, there is a saying in ancient times that there are seven greens, eight yellows and nine reds, which refers to the identification of purity by the color of gold.
The purity of the yellow is about 70%.
The eyes are bright yellow, and the purity is about eighty.
The purity of the yellow is more than ninety percent.
And the higher the purity, the darker the red yellow color.
"But when I saw the gold-handled iron sword, the gold-handled iron sword was dark reddish yellow, indicating that it was gold with a purity of more than three nines."
"In ancient times, there was no gold hardening process, and there was no way to make a sword hilt with such a high purity of gold, and even if it was made, it would cause the gold handle to be deformed due to gravity."
"So I deduced that this was a gold handle made later, and the maker was very careful, not only the hollowing and engraving process, but also the use of high-purity gold hardening process, but this also exposed the horse's feet."
After being explained in detail by Lin Cheng, Wang Anshun understood the reason.
He took out the photos he had received before and looked at them carefully, and it was really gold, and his eyes were red, and at first glance it was high-purity gold.
When he looked at it before, he and the experts were too excited to see the good object, so they ignored the question of the purity of the gold handle.
When he looked at it again at this moment, Wang Anshun had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
"It's really what you said, now that I'm looking at this golden-handled iron sword, I can obviously feel that something is wrong."
A lot of things are like this, if you don't point it, you can't see it through, and once you click it through, you will suddenly realize it.
"It's good that my uncle understands, and when you encounter antiques in the future, don't get excited and ignore the details."
"This time it's really careless, if you hadn't reminded me in time, it would really have overturned."
Wang Anshun laughed happily.
Wang Ruyan, who has always been carrying her heart, finally put her heart down.
"I just said I have to believe Lin Cheng, he can be said to be unmatched in the identification of antiques."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Lin is really good at health care, and you haven't eaten along the way, have you? I'll have you supper. ”
When Wang Anshun was about to call the housekeeper to arrange dinner for the two, Lin Cheng got up and said that he would go to the hospital to take care of his daughter.
Wang Ruyan also said that she wanted to see Mu Mu.
So the two said goodbye to Wang Anshun and left the Wang family together.
Looking at the back of his daughter and Lin Cheng leaving, Wang Anshun suddenly had a feeling that the woman was not left.
This girl is getting closer and closer to Lin Cheng.
If this development continues, it may not be far from holding a banquet.
"Looking at the two in this way, they are a good match, if Lin Cheng has never been married and has no children, it will be even more perfect."
In Wang Anshun's chatter, Lin Cheng and Wang Ruyan had already left the Wang family manor.
"Why don't you stay at home and spend more time with your uncle?"
"I'm bored at home, but I'm more comfortable with you, but I want to thank you for helping my family avoid a big hole."
"It's all small things."
The two chatted while driving to the hospital, and after visiting his daughter in the hospital, Lin Cheng was busy writing a forgery paper on the gold-handled iron sword.
After working for more than two hours, after writing the paper, Lin Cheng sent the paper to Wang Ruyan.
"The paper that the gold-handled iron sword is identified as a fake has been sent to you, you can find a channel to send it out, and it is best to attract the attention of collectors on the Internet."
This paper was written by Lin Cheng to Luo Tong.
He was eager to see how Rotong would react after knowing that he had bought a fake with a lot of money.
Wang Ruyan finished reading the whole paper, and then the contact person went to operate.
"I can't see that you're still wilted and wilted, if Luo Tong sees this paper, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will cry."
"If you're just angry and crying, it's too cheap for him."
"Listening to your tone, the grudge between you and him is quite deep?"
"I can't talk about how deep it is, but the feud is not small."
After all, Luo Bin bought murder, and this revenge must be a big deal.
It's just that in order not to make Wang Ruyan worry too much, Lin Cheng didn't say anything about buying murder.
······
Luo Tong happily went home with a gold-handled iron sword.
Luo Hongtu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw his son come back and immediately greeted him.
"Show me this good baby!"
"Dad, take a good look, this is definitely a rare treasure, as long as we operate properly, the Luo family will be able to trample the Wang family under their feet at that time!"
"Hahaha, Wu'er really has the posture of a sleeping dragon, and the rise of the Luo family depends on you!"
Luo Hongtu took the golden-handled iron sword and looked at it carefully.
The more I looked, the more satisfied I felt.
Such a rare and sufficient amount of antique treasures fell into the Luo family, as long as it was hyped up, the Luo family's fame skyrocketed.
"Do you have a good plan for the operation of the campaign? The things are already in our hands, and the propaganda operation must keep up with it as soon as possible, sooner rather than later. ”
