The real daughter is reborn, and the whole family is buried in the crematorium. It's reasonable

Liu Lanshi pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses expressionlessly, "Junior sister, can you explain it in more detail?"

Although Liu Lanshi said that he had almost forgotten what he had learned before, every knowledge point related to antiques had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Based on his many years of experience, he believes that these two bronze mirrors are from the Da Kaimen period and are in very good condition with no obvious flaws or traces of splicing.

He believed in his own judgment, so he remained skeptical of Yu Sheng's words.

"Okay." Yu Sheng picked up the first bronze mirror and said, "This is a double phoenix mirror. The pattern on the back of the bronze mirror is two phoenixes with their wings spread out facing each other. The shape is similar to the paper-cutting technique, and the flowers and birds are exquisite. Both the style and the craftsmanship are in line with the characteristics of Song Dynasty bronze mirrors."

Liu Lanshi nodded silently.

His inference was also a bronze mirror from the Song Dynasty.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes when he looked at Yu Sheng.

Since Yu Sheng's results are consistent with his, why do we say that these two bronze mirrors are not complete and authentic?

Yu Sheng happened to look at him at this time and asked, "Brother, have you noticed a problem? This bronze mirror has no button?"

The button refers to the raised area in the center of the back of the bronze mirror, which can be held directly or threaded with a rope.

Most bronze mirrors have button holders installed on the back for ease of use.

The back of this double-phoenix bronze mirror has a slightly raised pattern and no button base, so it is a buttonless mirror.

Liu Lanshi frowned.

He really ignored the question.

The corners of Old Liu's mouth were already curling up uncontrollably.

“Yes, there were bronze mirrors without knobs in the Song Dynasty, but most of these bronze mirrors were in strange and special shapes, such as bell-shaped, tripod-shaped, and lotus petal-shaped.

However, this double-phoenix mirror clearly does not meet the standards for a special mirror shape.

So I boldly infer that there is another possibility that this bronze mirror actually has a handle. Due to some special reasons, the handle was broken or damaged, and the counterfeiter removed the handle, changing this originally hand-held double-phoenix mirror into the current handleless appearance.

In order to verify my guess, I carefully looked at the interface of the bronze mirror handle and indeed found traces of polishing, which prompted me to make the final judgment.

This double-phoenix mirror is indeed a bronze mirror from the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately it has been modified by later generations and is missing an important part. "

As soon as Yu Sheng finished speaking, Liu Lanshi couldn't wait to pick up the Shuangluan Mirror and take a closer look.

Quan Ye looked at Yu Sheng, who was radiating confidence, and a burning warmth appeared in his dark eyes.

Five minutes later, Liu Lanshi put down the Shuangluan Mirror and rarely showed a look of frustration.

Elder Liu laughed loudly, "Lan Shi, do you have anything else to refute?"

Liu Lanshi smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, please stop teasing me. I admit defeat."

Liu Lanshi was deceived by the intact condition of the bronze mirror. He had preconceived ideas and fell into the trap. Now, after Yu Sheng's reminder, he can no longer see the problem in it. He feels ashamed of the many years of teaching by Old Liu.

He was not a narrow-minded person, so he humbly asked Yu Sheng, "What's the problem with the other bronze mirror?"

Although the ancient Chinese literature community emphasizes seniority, it also emphasizes that the most accomplished people are the teachers.

Liu Lanshi asked her junior sister for advice and did not feel embarrassed at all.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "The problem with the Tang Dynasty mirror with auspicious animals and flowers is actually similar to the Shuang Luan mirror. The outer part of the bronze mirror was worn away, leaving only the inner pattern, transforming a large bronze mirror into a smaller one. Brother, take a closer look at its edges. Do you see that they are of different thicknesses? And does the pattern look weird?"

Liu Lanshi picked up the mirror with auspicious animal and flower patterns as instructed.

Sure enough, the more I looked at it, the more awkward it felt.

Strictly speaking, these two bronze mirrors are genuine old objects, but because their appearance is damaged, their value is naturally greatly reduced.

Counterfeiters take advantage of the psychology of antique buyers, who think that real things will not deceive people, and set traps, mostly deceiving buyers with certain appreciation abilities.

"It's hard to guard against it."

Liu Lanshi put down the bronze mirror and sighed.

Although he had studied under Master Liu for many years, most of what he learned was theoretical knowledge, and he had little exposure to the tricks of cheating in the antique business.

Even though he knew that setting up fake traps was common in the antique business, it was difficult for him to truly understand the dangers involved since he had never experienced it.

Today's bronze mirror test taught him a solid lesson.

A real lesson on anti-counterfeiting.

The smile on Old Liu's face could no longer be concealed, and he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, good, good, Yu girl, you really gave me a big surprise!"

He originally thought that Yu Sheng would be satisfied if she could distinguish the authentic from the fakes among the thirteen bronze mirrors. However, he did not expect that Yu Sheng could also solve the additional questions he made, which was really beyond his expectation.

What’s more important is that Yu Sheng hasn’t been studying bronze ware for a long time.

In a short period of time, he was not only able to remember all the knowledge points, but also able to integrate them and apply them to other situations. Even his grandson Liu Lanshi could not match his learning ability.

He didn't just accept a disciple, he picked up a treasure!

Ma Ming, who was guarding outside the study, heard Old Liu's laughter.

He was happy and at the same time couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ever since the leader accepted Miss Yu Sheng as his disciple, he has been smiling more and more, and his body looks a lot healthier.

Miss Yusheng is really a lucky star.

In the study room.

Old Liu looked at Yu Sheng with such kindness that tears were about to drip out of his eyes. When he looked at his grandson, his eyes suddenly changed and his nose changed. He said with disdain, "Look, look. I told you at the beginning that there are always people better than you. You thought I was just kidding you. Now you see, there are many more talented people in the antique business than you! Don't be arrogant!"

Liu Lanshi responded respectfully on the surface, but didn't take it seriously in her heart.

The old man was still blaming him for not following him to study antiques, but instead going to Beijing to study law.

But everyone has their own aspirations.

The antique business is indeed very interesting, but his real dream is to become a lawyer.

Fortunately, my grandfather finally found a satisfactory disciple, and I think he will not scold him for this incident again in the future.

Liu Lanshi was scolded by Old Liu so badly that she couldn't even raise her head. Instead of blaming Yu Sheng, she was full of gratitude.

Yu Sheng naturally didn't know what Liu Lanshi was thinking. When she saw Liu Lanshi being scolded because of her, she hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Teacher, it's already past twelve o'clock, why don't we go downstairs to eat first. I heard that Aunt Zhang prepared the dishes early in the morning, and I've been looking forward to it since I entered the house."

"Xiao Zhang's cooking skills are indeed impeccable." Old Liu nodded with a smile, "Come on, come downstairs with me."

Yu Sheng immediately stepped forward to support Old Liu, and the old and the young walked downstairs talking and laughing.

Liu Lanshi and Quan Ye followed silently behind. The men who usually stood at the top of their respective industries seemed to have shed their gorgeous shells here and there was no sense of existence at all.
