In the box, the five pieces in the upper row are placed face up, with convex edges, and the central pattern is the scenery; the five pieces in the lower row are placed on the back, without borders, and the whole plane is inscribed with gold The verses correspond to the positive scenery.

These ten ink ingots depict and describe the ten sceneries of West Lake: Spring Dawn on Su Causeway, Remnant Snow on Broken Bridge, Wind and Lotus in Quyuan, Watching Fish in Flower Harbor, Singing Orioles in Willow Waves, Sunset at Leifeng Peak, Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, Pinghu Autumn Moon, Shuangfeng Chayun, Nanping Evening bell.

These are the ten scenic spots of West Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty.

West Lake is not only a landscape lake, but also a cultural lake. Historically, there have been many selections of the ten scenic spots of West Lake.At that time, because the Southern Song Dynasty established its capital here, the ten scenic spots announced during the Southern Song Dynasty were very famous and lasted for thousands of years.

At this moment, Li Tong handed over the white glove, Yu Yao took it smoothly, put it on, and picked up an ink ingot.

I looked at one piece, put it down, and picked up the second piece.

After reading ten yuan, it took half an hour.Shen Ge and Li Tong watched him from the side, and would not disturb him.

In the end, Yu Yao held a piece of "Leifeng Xizhao" with an obvious horizontal crack in the middle, but it was not broken in two, and said to the two, "This piece is old ink from the past generation, and the craftsman has no workmanship." Question, the craftsmanship of the master ink maker."

Shen Ge's eyes widened when he heard it, but he held back and didn't ask any questions.

But Li Tong couldn't hold back, "You mean, the remaining nine dollars are fake?"

"Old-fashioned." Yu Yao corrected her statement, "The ink materials used for these nine pieces are not much different from this one, and the craftsmanship is not weak, which means a little bit of ancestral secret skills."

"What's the problem?"

"The engraving feels wrong. I won't talk about this, because it is not specific. The specific problem lies in making it old. Teacher Li, in your opinion, what is the most difficult thing about making high-quality antique ink?"

Li Tong blushed, "I'm not very proficient in Gu Mo."

"Oh." Yu Yao nodded, "Since this is the case, I'll have to spend more time talking. There are three points for high imitation of antique ink."

"One point is the bump defect. This need is very natural, but it is not difficult. If you master the force well, you can bump and scratch at will, and you can have a very natural effect. The second point is the oxidation of the surface of the ink ingot. It is a special potion, colorless and tasteless; because ink ingots are rarely played by people, and most of them are stored, so there is no need to patina them."

Yu Yao paused, "The third point is the most difficult one. Many precious inks have inscribed gold. Hundreds of years have passed, so the inscribed gold must also be aged. After the inscribed gold ages, the luster will fade, but the surface The oxide film is very special."

Li Tong listened, and carefully looked at the inscribed gold writing on the ink ingot. She couldn't see anything, but said, "It seems a bit unnatural when you say that."

Yu Yao smiled politely, "Actually, I can't tell at a glance, but this thing, I'm afraid of comparison. This piece of 'Leifeng Xizhao' is old original ink, and the subtle differences are easier to see when compared with the two kinds of painted gold." gone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ge said to Li Tong, "So, your client got an old imperial imperial ink box and a piece of imperial ink from the Ten Scenes of West Lake, and then copied it for nine dollars?"

Li Tong looked embarrassed, "It may not be him, maybe he is also a victim."

Yu Yao sighed softly, "It should be like this, but he didn't see it; otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about it so much. This is a top expert in making ink and old, but the owner who hired the expert, I think I felt confused for a while. "

"How to say?" Shen Ge and Li Tong looked at Yu Yao together.

"Because I have this ink cartridge and a sample of the original ink, it's better to just make ten high-quality imitations!"

Shen Ge pondered, then waved his hand lightly, "How do you say this. You said that there is a difference in gold painting, but it's just that your eyesight is high to a certain extent, but how many people have such eyesight? True or false, It was originally a method. Think about it, the ink cartridge is open, if you take out this one and show it to the buyer when you sell it, it is easy to be preconceived, and then look at the other ones, and the confusion will be even greater!"

"Perhaps, I won't comment on psychological factors. Anyway, I didn't buy it. That's my opinion. To be on the safe side, Mr. Li, please find a few more people to look at it." Yu Yao smiled, "I still have something to do , take a step first."

"Come on, I'll be the host tonight, it's all settled, please have dinner with Xiao Shen!" Li Tong said immediately.

This set of imperial ink in a box has not been filmed yet, if it is true as Yu Yao said, it will really help her a lot.If there is any doubt, it will be more convenient to report to the boss and continue to find a higher-level expert, and it will not make the leader feel that she is incompetent.

"Change...God. Something really happened." Yu Yao persisted, and then walked towards the door.

He was not perfunctory, but he was suddenly touched and inspired by comparing the gold painting on the Yizhenjiu imitation ink ingot, and thought of the red sandalwood guqin paperweight again.

It seems that there is an extra clue!
On this paperweight, there are nine sound emblems inlaid with copper pieces, the middle one copper piece sound emblem, the coating and color of the surface seem to be different from the other eight!

At that time, Yu Yao didn't pay attention to it, because the middle part is the most likely to be touched by fingers. After so many years, this copper piece has been touched the most, and it is normal to have differences, and the differences are also subtle; it's the same.

But now, because of the problem of ink ingots tracing gold, he suddenly wondered, could the difference in this place be caused by other reasons? !

Whether it was before or after the prying, his attention was too focused on the irregular piece of wood, and he didn't think much about it.

Therefore, he wanted to hurry back and check it carefully.

"What's the matter?" Shen Ge followed him to the door.

"Yeah, it's not about you! You're done here, I have to hurry back!" Yu Yao said, and waved to Li Tong again, "Mr. Li, you're welcome, treat Shen Ge to eat. , is the same as asking me to eat."

"Look at you. I'm sorry to delay your business if you say that. I will definitely invite Xiao Shen today. Let's meet again when you have time!" Li Tong nodded.

Shen Ge pushed Yu Yao's arm, "What nonsense! This is at work."

Yu Yao was taken aback for a moment, and didn't say much after understanding, "Let's go first, don't send it off."

Back in Geguzhai, Yu Yao immediately closed the store and took out the red sandalwood guqin paperweight.

The focus this time is naturally the nine copper sound emblems.

The one in the middle is indeed different from the eight on both sides, the patina is thicker and the color is darker. This, as Yu Yao thought before, if they are often touched, such subtle differences may appear.

Yu Yao picked up the bright flashlight again.He used a bright flashlight before, just to look at the "shallow hole", but he didn't observe the copper sheet.

As a result, after this exposure and observation, Yu Yao really discovered the problem!
