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

Lin Ran asked Yang Jianlong to take them back to the factory, and he drove to the Palace Museum.

At the entrance of the museum, the security guard saw that it was a luxury car and stood up straight, thinking that a big shot was coming to inspect it.

When he saw Lin Ran sitting in the driver's seat, he was a little surprised.

"Lin...Mr. Lin?" He still remembered that when he first saw Lin Ran, he was dressed like a poor boy. At that time, he was still a security guard in an office building.

At that time, because I looked down on people, I was assigned to look at the gate.

In the past six months, Lin Ran often visited the factory, and the two of them became familiar with each other.

But this was the first time I saw Lin Ran driving a luxury car.

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded and asked, "Can you give me a parking card?"

"Of course." The security guard immediately took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ran. The visit time was written on it, and the parking fee was [-] cents for five hours.

After he drove in, the security guard stood there with dull eyes.

Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Half a year later, he was completely different.

In the office, Tang Lanxuan looked a little nervous.

He turned the enamel in his hand over and over to check, but there was no trace of forgery at all.

He couldn't help but think of the enamel paintings collected by the National Palace Museum, and invited Lin Ran to go to the warehouse to check them out.

"All the enamel colors recorded in the register are here." Tang Lanxuan held a shabby book in a building with a warehouse. The shelves on both sides were filled with enamel colors.

Lin Ran was a little shocked when he saw it. This was the first time he had seen it in person. In the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City was a restricted area.

There is not a large amount of enamel in circulation on the market. Each piece is worth 500%. It is normal to sell it for [-] yuan.

But there is often a price but no market. Some craftsmen see that there is a profit, so they forge some enamel colors and sell them.

But Jingde porcelain was an official kiln in the Qing Dynasty, and its quality was so high that ordinary craftsmen could not imitate it.

The enamel in your hand should be a real object.

While Tang Lanxuan was analyzing, he took Lin Ran into the warehouse and carefully picked up a black lacquered wooden box from the shelf.

There are also a lot of anti-collision sponges placed in the box.

"Let me show you, this is a genuine enamel bowl." Tang Lanxuan handed the box to Lin Ran.

Because these cultural relics have not been sorted out and restored, they have not been exhibited to the outside world.

Lin Ran was among the first people outside the museum to see Qing palace enamel.

When I saw this bowl, my first impression was that it was gorgeous and gorgeous.

He took the bowl out of the box and put it in the palm of his hand, but saw a crack at the bottom of the bowl. No wonder it was placed in the box. If it broke in the water, it would be a loss.

This bowl has a deep curved wall shape with shallow feet on the outside. It is about [-] centimeters high and [-] centimeters in diameter.

The porcelain body is fine and clean, and the glaze is shiny and moist.

On the outer wall of the bowl, peonies are painted with enamel. The branches are entangled in the spring breeze, and they are about to bloom when the breeze blows.

In the white part of the porcelain, there are also poems written by Liu Yong.

The autumn wind blows in my dream of Xiaoxiangpu, looking back at the south tower, the moon is shining brightly.

The inner wall of the bowl is painted with landscapes, and the whole bowl reveals an artistic conception like a sudden spring breeze.

On the bottom of the bowl, there are four characters written in regular script: Kangxi Year System.

Lin Ran couldn't help but marvel, the exquisiteness of enamel was indeed unmatched by other porcelain.

Tang Lanxuan smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Ran, it seems that you have understood it, then let me test you, how to identify enamel?"

Only then did Lin Ran realize that Tang Lanxuan was intentionally guiding him. In his previous life, he often did this kind of classroom guidance work.

As if returning to the time when he first entered the National Museum, Lin Ran became serious.

"Enamel porcelain is famous as Gu Yuexuan porcelain. It was popular in the early Qing Dynasty and reached its peak during the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties."

"Usually emphasis is placed on exterior decoration, which is extremely gorgeous and uses overglaze color. There has long been a folk saying that ten pastel colors are not as good as one bucket of color, and ten buckets of color are not as good as one enamel. Enamel color is called the official kiln among the official kilns."

"The manufacturing method of enamel has been lost, so it can be dialectically carried out through a three-step method."

"The first step is to look at the plain tires. The carcass is thin and not fragile, the weight is moderate, and there are no defects."

"The second step is to look at the quality of the porcelain body. The enamel color is selected from a large number of plain bodies. It must be high-quality porcelain with excellent hand feel."

"Third, there are the textures and poetry on the enamel surface. Famous artists and court painters of the time worked together to draw beautiful scenes such as figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects on white porcelain, and inscribed them with poetry."

"The third point is the essence of enamel and the key to identification."

Because there are only a few painters qualified to participate in enamel painting.

There are records in the history books of the Qing Dynasty, and the painter of the enamel bowls in their hands is Tang Dai, who is known as the number one artist in the painting.

Lin Ran felt as if he had returned to his graduation defense. After he finished admiring it, Tang Lanxuan clapped happily.

"That's right. Just by comparing it with the real thing and combining it with historical knowledge, you can give such a perfect answer. I'm afraid even my teacher will be no match for you." Tang Lanxuan said with a smile.

Their original purpose seems to have been forgotten.

Lin Ran was embarrassed and silently said: "How could that be? There is still a lot to learn from the teacher."

"That's good, haha." Tang Lanxuan said happily: "Use your own method to identify the cultural relics in your hand. I believe you already have the answer."

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded. He did have a genuine product in his hand, but he was even more confused. "Teacher, have you heard of the Qiansong Group? A group that engages in cultural relic auctions."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Lanxuan said: "Song Tiao was the former boss of Liulicang in Jianghua. Later I heard that he had gone to run an insurance company. Qiansong Auction House is an auction company owned by him. However, I don't have much contact with him, and I always feel that he is scheming. Not right."

It turned out that the teacher had the same idea, so Lin Ran told him the ins and outs of getting the enamel color from the auction today.

More than 100 pieces of enamel?

You have to dig up the ruins of a palace to get a large amount of enamel. Moreover, this stuff is expensive and has no market. Some of the people living among the people have long been collected as treasures by antique shop owners.

It's no wonder that there are so many shots taken at the same time.

Tang Lanxuan realized the seriousness of the matter and said: "The Palace Museum cannot control so much, but perhaps it can be handed over to the Special Investigation Bureau to investigate."

He and Lin Ran returned to the office and called Li Xiaohai, director of the Special Investigation Bureau.

This person was Cai Yan's immediate boss. Since the call was from Tang Lanxuan himself, he did not make any excuses and immediately brought two staff members to the office to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to escape disaster, some imperial officials fled with cultural relics, all of which were exchanged for grain on the way. And these things, in those special years, flowed overseas."

"Of course, there are also artists who make fakes. Their skills are not good, but their copying skills are good. There are only two possibilities."

Li Xiaohai looked at the enamel color in Lin Ran's hand and explained.
