Tibetan play style

Chapter 57 A White Jade Hairpin

Mr. Suo didn't make fun of her like the others. On the contrary, he admired Xu Yunhan's attitude of daring to calmly face his own cognitive shortcomings, "So you gave the answer like this, hehe, it's also very good. If you do this at least It can avoid a lot of risks. The best way for people who play antiques is to give up when they encounter objects that they are not sure about, especially in small stalls in the market. Nowadays, any of the sellers are extremely good screenwriters, and a broken wooden barrel can It is said to be a special toilet specially made by Emperor Kangxi. Like this time, your judgment on this Hongshan jade is correct, indeed, this Hongshan jade is a modern imitation."

"Ah?! It's really a fake?"

"I'll take a look again. I just looked at it too, and I saw the flaws right." The answer was finally revealed. Unexpectedly, all the big guys who looked at this jade hoop-shaped vessel agreed that it was genuine, but the owner Moreover, Suo Lao, a master of appraisal, said that it was a fake, so it must be a fake, but where did he find it?
Passed one by one and looked at the jade hoop-shaped vessel again, whether it is true or false, you can’t see through it. Jing Shuo also judged it as genuine before, and now he is also carefully observing this imitation jade hoop-shaped vessel, which is almost unreal. It's not that he hasn't come into contact with this kind of Hongshan jade wares. His grandfather, Suo Lao, has collected two of them himself, and he has also played with them. Seeing that his grandfather started to play tricks again, he hesitated to give an answer, and said,

"Old man, don't look at our jokes, you should tell us quickly, how can you tell that this jade hoop is a fake?"

Suo's eyes widened, "Brat, how dare you rush me?! Don't think I don't know. You took my Hongshan Jade Pig Dragon away a few days ago. Hmph, how come you don't even have this jade dragon after playing for so long? I can’t even see the hoop, so I’ll put the Jade Pig Dragon back to its original place, and you won’t make any progress in your hands, so you’ve lost its value!” I’ve been teaching this grandson since I was a child, and it’s getting worse It's ruthless.

"You also said that it was a jade pig dragon. This is a jade hoop-shaped utensil, and it is Xiaohan who is powerful. You are the only one who has seen it, right, old man." Jing Shuo, who had been scolded for his rich experience, defended himself a little , I quickly changed the subject, his grandparents came up, but his relatives didn't recognize him, so he said what he had to say, and said it ruthlessly!
The trend has changed really quickly. Just now everyone was teasing her, but now she has become a hot topic again. After Jing Shuo, everyone started to praise her. She is talented, promising, and a formidable young man... Xu Yunhan She was slightly dizzy from being praised, but she was not lost. She knew exactly what she was relying on for identification. After all, it was not her own ability, so why should she be proud of it? you flatter me.

Qin Qiao, who was left out in the cold, gritted her white teeth sorely. The more she looked at Xu Yunhan, the more uncomfortable she felt. Usually, when she accompanied her father to this Tibetan friend exchange meeting, most of these uncles took care of her. Whenever, these words of praise are all hers!Brother Jing is also sitting next to her!The fire in Qin Qiao's heart blazed up.

But no one pays attention to her, even her own father's attention is all on Suo Lao, Suo Lao has already started to explain the jade hoop shape,
"The biggest problem with this jade hoop is that its corrosion is unnatural, which is different from that of real jade. The tombs of Hongshan people are basically buried on mountain ridges or mountain tops. The terrain is relatively high, and the depth of burial is relatively high. It is also relatively shallow, with an average of about 150 centimeters below the surface. This burial method causes the buried jade wares to corrode to varying degrees, resulting in some jade wares with obvious small holes and shallow pits of different sizes and depths. Spots. In order to make imitations achieve this effect, counterfeiters usually soak the finished imitations in a certain concentration of hydrofluoric acid solution, and the imitations corroded by acid will appear mottled on the surface archaic effect."

"Of course, since this jade hoop-shaped utensil can fool you, it means that it has a high level of old-fashionedness, and it was not soaked in the potion directly. The color that comes out like that is all pits and spots , very uniform, I believe you can't fool you. And the color of this jade hoop-shaped vessel looks very natural, and the distribution is reasonable. I infer that this jade hoop-shaped vessel should be divided several times by counterfeiters. The concentration is different, the soaking time is different, the parts of each soaking are different, and the color comes out after repeated aging."

"This jade hoop-shaped vessel must be carefully inspected with a magnifying glass to see some clues. Although the perforations on the other two sides are made very similar, they are not made by ancient methods after all. You can still see the difference. In particular, Hongshan people used animal bones to punch holes in jade wares so that they could be worn with ropes. However, the round holes on jade wares in imitations were punched out with electric mounds, and the thickness of the jade wares was different according to the size of the holes. The drill bit, after the drilling is completed, the hole wall is polished."

Listening to Suo Lao's explanation, everyone has benefited a lot. He is indeed an internationally renowned appraisal master. After talking about the jade hoop-shaped vessel, Suo Lao appraised and evaluated the remaining objects in turn, and the results were all gratifying. Yes, all other items are genuine.

Zhai Yimin corrected the answers written by the previous three on the paper, and waved his hand in the direction where Xu Yunhan was sitting, "Then this little girl won this little competition!" After finishing speaking, Zhai Yimin turned around and said Suo asked,
"Master Suo, the little girl has won. What is the small prize you agreed to give to the winner? Could it be the fake jade you brought? That won't work." Zhai Yimin has a good impression of Xu Yunhan, and he is afraid of the little one. The girl was embarrassed to ask for a lottery, so she took the initiative to help her ask Mr. Suo for a reward.

Mr. Suo snorted softly, and took out the cloth bag with the jade hoop-shaped utensil, and found a simple jade hairpin with a hollowed-out head, and handed it to Xu Yunhan, "Boy Zhai, don't worry!" You remind me, old man, I can't count when I say something, here, little girl, I found this hairpin at Panjiayuan in the morning, and the quality of the jade is not bad, so I will give it to you as a reward."

"Thank you, Mr. Suo." Xu Yunhan stretched out both hands to take it. What surprised her was that the jade hairpin was still quite old. Although there was no image or sound, it brought a sense of warmth and comfort. This white jade hairpin The classic and elegant style of the hairpin made her like this reward very much.

"This white jade hairpin is very suitable for you." Seeing Xu Yunhan's bright smile and beautiful face, Jing Shuo was stunned, and suddenly said this sentence.
