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

It is very difficult to make bronze wares look real. Not only does it require superb casting techniques, but it also has high requirements for aging.

There are not many bronzes circulating in the market, so when expensive bronzes appear, they will be sought after by the antique circle, and buyers will not rush to buy them, but will find professional treasure appraisers to appraise them. .

Liu Yu actually knew the origin of this bronze statue. He deliberately didn't tell it, just to see if Lin Ran's reaction was really worthy of his position and title.

All the things sold by his friends are difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake.

Fortunately, as family friends, they were told that the bronze turtle was actually a replica made by him.

When Liu Yu heard this sentence, he was surprised.

He is a master of bronze forging, and his appraisal of bronzes has reached the level of Huo Chunqing. He can tell the authenticity of bronzes with his personal eyesight.

Unexpectedly, he was mistaken this time and praised his friend's rapid improvement in strength. Even he couldn't tell the truth from the false.

Therefore, he seemed a little depressed. The two of them obviously started their bronze casting careers at the same time. Why did the other one progress so quickly?

Who knew that his friend gave him a mysterious smile, which was made under the guidance of a master forger in the capital. The original bronze turtle was stored in the Louvre Museum and was plundered back when they invaded China.

Liu Yu suddenly realized that in this profession, talent is very important, but famous teachers don’t give in too much.

Liu Yu has been working at Tianxia Pavilion since he came out of the mountain, making bronze sculptures every day. His craftsmanship has improved a lot, and the production speed is also very fast.

But he gradually found that he had a bottleneck and was very distressed.

Lin Ran's appearance made him suddenly enlightened.

As the ancients said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

He studies more profound forging techniques in the workshop every day, but neglects to experience life.

As Lin Ran said, bronze sculptures are more important to express one's own spiritual outlook, not just to imitate cats and tigers.

He kept this bronze turtle by his side just to inspire him to follow his friend's footsteps as soon as possible.

His friends are just the opposite of him. They travel all day long and make friends everywhere.

At first, Liu Yu only thought that he was not doing his job properly, but now after receiving some advice from Lin Ran, he realized that this friend was a truly discerning person.

After this incident, Liu Yu decided to leave Tianxia Pavilion temporarily and travel across China to gain insights into life.

So now I have a much calmer attitude towards other people.

This was the last test he gave Lin Ran. He wanted to see if Lin Ran could really identify the authenticity of bronzes.

When Lin Ran saw this bronze turtle for the first time, he was extremely surprised.

If I could describe it in one word, it would be perfect.

He has appraised countless bronzes. When he first saw the bronze turtle, he felt that it was most likely authentic because the depiction was so lifelike.

It is difficult to paint the bones of a tiger. The appearance can be imitated, but the spirit and energy cannot be perfectly reproduced.

The bronze turtle in front of you clearly reveals the indifferent expression of the divine turtle, giving people a feeling of immortality and Taoism. Coupled with the coating on the outside, it looks like it is in a Taoist temple and the like, where it is often smoked by incense. produced.

So from the beginning, he felt that it was a genuine product.

But after Zhuang Sheng made a fuss just now, he found that the probability that this thing was genuine had to be discounted.

Because now the country has begun to pay more and more attention to cultural relics, the customs is very stuck with cultural relics.

The original figure of this bronze turtle is far away in a European country.

With this quality, it is absolutely impossible to bring it back from abroad, otherwise it would have been detained long ago.

The cost of smuggling was too high for a bronzesmith to afford.

Of course, this is only considered from a secular perspective. In fact, from a treasure appraisal perspective, this bronze turtle is so perfect that it is a source of doubt.

No matter how similar the imitations are in appearance, they will always lack the natural charm.

Bronze antiques made through distressing will also leave flaws.

Even other people are full of praise for this bronze turtle and think it is a rare antique.

As an appraiser, Lin Ran ignored other people's opinions and reappraised the bronze turtle.

In fact, he has a very simple method, which is to use the secret technique of treasure appraisal.

However, Lin Ran felt that this thing was always a skill that did not conform to the rules of the world, so it was better to use it sparingly.

He might as well take this opportunity to hone his eyesight.

After checking it, I didn't find many flaws, and even some small details were imitated vividly.

Mainly because it had been so long. Lin Ran had probably seen it once when he visited the Louvre Museum 40 years ago. No matter how good his memory was, it was still a bit blurry after such a long time.

There is no way to compare in perfect detail.

It can only be considered from other perspectives.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

At this time, the other six eyes were staring at him closely, wondering what he was doing?

However, no one interrupted him. They always felt that Lin Ran would say something shocking next.

Lin Ran recalled all the details of the turtle in his mind. There was no problem with the texture on the surface, and there was no problem with the seal on the bottom... But when all the information was put together, something was a little abnormal.

The reason why he closed his eyes was to block the impact of vision.

Humans are visual animals and rely too much on their eyes to perceive the world.

In fact, this is a bad behavior. Indiscriminate flowers gradually attract the eyes. In fact, the information captured by vision is only part of it. If you trust your eyes too much, you will ignore other sources of information.

Listening, smelling, touching, and only using the five senses to perceive can you understand the full picture of an object.

While Lin Ran was conducting the appraisal, a rude voice came from the side.

"Boss, your turtle is quite good. How much does it cost to sell it for?"

"Not for sale."

"Don't want to sell it? Today, your Grandpa Lei has taken a liking to this thing. If you don't want to sell it, you have to sell it!"

This voice was extremely overbearing and disturbed Lin Ran's thoughts.

Lin Ran frowned and opened his eyes.

I saw a fat man with a big, round body and a big gold chain hanging around his neck, rushing directly from the front hall.

And behind him, there were several men in Tang suits, who looked like they were not easy to mess with.

"Young Master Lei, you can't do it!" Tong Yang let out a long sigh. The plague gods really gathered together today.

Other customers also stopped with interest. You can buy this bronze at any time, but if you miss the excitement, it will be gone.

They were all tourists from out of town and didn't know the origin of Mr. Lei, but they knew that a good show would happen soon.
