No. 1 rich family abandons young

Ling Yu frowned, and asked, "Why are you so sure? Could it be that my eldest young master of the Ling family still can't afford to wear old oily clothes?"

"I'm absolutely sure that I'm not mistaken. Anything that passes through my hands doesn't have holes." Shen Lang said.

Seeing Shen Lang being so confident, a trace of anger flashed in Ling Yu's eyes.

Because, Shen Lang's judgment was correct.

The jade pendant that Ling Yu carried with him was indeed a new item, not an old one.

"Hehe, tell me your reasons." Ling Yu sneered.

"The reason is very simple. Your jade pendant is an ancient jade from the Tang Dynasty. The technology at that time was not yet mature. It is generally believed in the academic circles that the coloring process of oil extraction has only been available since the Song Dynasty, but there are no records in the written materials of the time. The term "old oil extraction" first appeared in the book "Jade Ji" by Chen Xing, a jade connoisseur during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty. The oil extraction and coloring of your jade pendant were added later in the late Qing Dynasty. Craftsman skills are average."

Shen Lang's explanation surprised Ling Yu.

Ling Yu never expected that Shen Lang could even see these very details.

Originally, he wanted to give Shen Lang a warning, but in the end, Shen Lang really had a certain understanding of jade and the technique of oil extraction and coloring.

And Ling Shuangyue seemed to have found a confidante.

"You said that since the Song Dynasty must have been the beginning of the Song Dynasty? This is a book you made up, right?" Ling Yu still didn't want Shen Lang to show off in front of him.

Shen Lang continued: "You can check it in the library. It is recorded in the book: There are even Song Xuanhe and Zhenghejian jade merchants who forged new jade into vessels and used rainbow grass juice to make them. The color is deep and red like a chicken. Blood, people at the time called it the ancient method, but connoisseurs sometimes lost their ability to distinguish it, or they were paid a lot of money for it. There are very few scholars in this world, and they are called old oil pickers.”

Shen Lang uttered the original words in "Jade Chronicle", verbatim.

No matter how much the expression on Ling Yu's face changed, he never expected that Shen Lang would be so perverted that he even memorized the original text verbatim.

"At the same time, in this book, Chen Xing also expressed the new oil extraction. He said that every time a jade worker dyes it with extremely bad jade with stones, if he wants red, he puts it in red wood chips and simmers it. It is red. If you want it to be black, simmer it in ebony chips, and the stone will turn black, which is called newly extracted oil."

After Shen Lang finished speaking, Ling Shuangyue frowned, her red lips parted slightly and said, "Shen Lang, have you read "Jade Chronicle"?"

"I have read it." Shen Lang replied calmly.

Not only have I read it, but I can also recite it backwards.At the beginning, Master Cui Laogui was extremely strict with him, and it was common for him to read and recite various ancient books.

And that Ling Shuangyue seemed to have found a confidant.

The impression of Shen Lang has improved a bit.

Ling Shuangyue also knows that the Song Dynasty was the first peak of antique jade production, and the known Song Dynasty old oil jade has obvious characteristics.

Its jade material is often high-quality Hetian jade, and its shape and decoration mostly imitate utensils of the Warring States Period and Han Dynasty.

In particular, the deep or light ooze and leather shell on the whole body or part of it looks very natural and old, almost the same as ancient jade.

For a long time, collectors tended to regard it as genuine ancient jade.

And the jade pendant worn by the younger brother is a genuine Tang Dynasty ancient jade, there is no doubt about it.

It is a very good piece of seed material, but it has no color, so the method of oil extraction is used to make the skin color of the ancient jade pendant.

It's a pity that the craftsmen the Ling family found were of mediocre skills, and the results were not good.

At this time, Shen Lang and Ling Shuangyue started talking.

"There are not many old oil jades in the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Today, the more common ones are the old oil jades in the Ming Dynasty. From the real objects, the oil extraction techniques in the Ming Dynasty are more common and the techniques are more mature. Especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the social economy was developed, arty, and the trend of collecting ancient relics became more and more popular. At that time, collectors and connoisseurs attached great importance to the color of ancient jade, which led to the general development of oil extraction technology. "

It is really difficult for Shen Lang to find someone who has a common topic.

Ling Shuangyue also said with interest: "Mr. Shen is right. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, oil extraction technology improved rapidly, not only for counterfeiting, but also to satisfy a jade aesthetic trend at that time. There is no shortage of jade wares of high quality, in addition to having a warm luster on the outside, their carvings are also unambiguous, all of which are significantly different from the later new oil extraction."

Shen Lang nodded, followed Ling Shuangyue's words, and continued: "In the Qing Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and even up to the Republic of China period, there were constant imitations of ancient jade, and the main methods of counterfeiting were roughly the same as those of new oil extraction. Only gradually, the purpose of imitation ancient jade dyeing is no longer to admire ancient times and aesthetics, but purely for profit. The pursuit of quick production also makes the texture, color, and carving of oil jade more rough and bad, which has caused harm to this day. "

After saying this, Shen Lang paused for a while, and then said: "I have a question, why did your Ling family find a craftsman with such a poor level to make the jade color of this piece of Tang Dynasty ancient jade?"

As one of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Ling family should not be short of money.

Ling Shuangyue replied: "At the beginning, my grandfather wanted to make this Tang Dynasty jade pendant into a jade color imitating the Han Dynasty, in order to add to the icing on the cake and have a more ancient charm, so he found an antique master who can extract oil technology, which is regarded as the best in the industry. It turned out that the skill of this master is really average, and the color of the jade he made is not the right taste, although laymen can't tell the difference, but they can't escape the eyes of experts."

Shen Lang shook his head directly: "Impossible, if it is a big player in the industry, how could he make Yu Se like this, this technology is too ordinary."

Ling Yu choked: "What do you know? If you have the kind, you can find it. Those big hands who have mastered the superb oil extraction technology will die. They will be sick. Nowadays, who would study this? Law, medicine, reading Finance, IT, who wants to learn to 'lift oil'."

Shen Lang sneered: "That's because your Ling family didn't find the right person."

Ling Shuangyue said: "Mr. Shen, to tell you the truth, our Ling family, the person we hired is indeed the most powerful in the industry, but it's just that short people can't make a general in the industry, and the most powerful is naturally not much better. go."

Shen Lang asked again: "Didn't you look for the Qizhen Pavilion? The Qizhen Pavilion is in the south of the Yangtze River."

Ling Shuangyue said: "I've looked for it. Master Cui travels around without any communication equipment, so it's hard to find. It is said that his old and antique techniques, such as curium porcelain craftsmanship, have been passed on to the closed disciples, but the closed one Disciple, I can't find it either."

Hearing Ling Shuangyue's explanation, Shen Lang just smiled and didn't say anything else.

Ling Yu saw Shen Lang answering the questions easily and freely, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He originally wanted to test Shen Lang, but he didn't expect that Shen Lang not only answered perfectly, but also showed his skills in front of him and his sister.

"You kid, you can, you know so much!"

Although Ling Yu praised him on the lips, he was very angry in his heart.

However, Ling Yu didn't notice her sister Ling Shuangyue's eyes.

Now, Ling Shuangyue felt a tinge of appreciation for Shen Lang.

Ling Shuangyue is a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River. She is 28 years old and unmarried.

A woman with top-notch looks, temperament, and talent like her, who was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, is naturally the object of admiration and love by many people.

It's just that such a nearly perfect woman has very high requirements when it comes to choosing a mate.

In Ling Shuangyue's heart, she even wanted to find a man who matched her soul to be her husband.

This requirement alone has a very high threshold.

In order to achieve soul fit, you must first have a common topic.
