Chapter 192 [192] This Phoenix Hairpin Is a Fake!

People in the antique business usually have a good knowledge of history.

They are no strangers to this famous love story in the history of the Dragon Kingdom.

It is said that the Lu family used a phoenix hairpin as a token of trust to be engaged to the Tang family.

After Lu You and Tang Wan got married, the couple loved each other very much.

But Lu You's mother did not like Tang Wan and forced them to divorce, and the two had their own marriages.

Many years later, the two met again in Shen Garden.

At this time, his loving wife had married.

Lu You was so sad that he wrote the famous "Hairpin Head Phoenix·Red and Soft Hands" on the wall of Shen Garden.

Especially the few lines "The east wind is evil, the joy is thin. A heart of sorrow, a few years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong" are even more touching.

And this popular poem indirectly killed Tang Wan.

A few years later, when Tang Wan visited Shen Garden again, she saw this inscription and wrote a poem "Hairpin Head Phoenix·The World is Thin" to respond.

Among them, the lines "The world is cruel, people are evil, rain sends dusk and flowers fall easily" describe the sadness in his heart.

In the autumn of the same year, Tang Wan died of depression.

This love story has been passed down for thousands of years and is very touching.

If this phoenix hairpin is really the token of love between Lu You and Tang Wan, then its value is very high.

"My first question is to ask Master Xiao Tang to help identify whether this phoenix hairpin is real or fake, and he must give a convincing reason."

Xue Yingjie said, handing the phoenix hairpin to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng did not reach out to take it, but asked him to put the phoenix hairpin on the table.

The rules of the antique business are that the goods will not be passed on.

Otherwise, if there is a problem, no one can explain it clearly.

Xue Yingjie just smiled, put the phoenix hairpin on the table, turned around and looked at the people present, "You can also help to identify it together."

Hearing this, everyone also gathered around curiously to watch.

"Looking at the decorative style, it looks like the jewelry style of the Northern Li period..."

"There is no problem with the jewelry on it..."

"Looking at the patina and the degree of wear, it seems to be fine..."

"On the whole, it should be authentic without a doubt."

Everyone looked at it very carefully, not only looking at it repeatedly with a magnifying glass, but also weighing it from time to time.

Including Zhang Jicheng, he also went forward to study it for a while, but he didn't see any problems.

Most people finally gave a definite answer.

There were still a small number of people who didn't express their opinions, perhaps because they were afraid of affecting Tang Feng's judgment, but from their expressions, it can be seen that they obviously didn't see any problems.

After Xue Yingjie and everyone finished looking, he turned his head and looked at Tang Feng, "Now it's your turn, there is no time limit, you can take your time to look."

Tang Feng then reached out and picked up the phoenix hairpin, and looked down to check it.

In fact, he had a scanning system, so he didn't need to pick it up to check.

But after all, in front of so many people, he still had to pretend.

Zhang Jicheng hurriedly asked the staff to prepare chairs, let everyone sit down and wait, and asked someone to bring tea.

Identifying such antiques is a very time-consuming task.

It can take dozens of minutes or even several hours.

For some objects, even a few days may not give an accurate answer.

Everyone is ready for a protracted battle.

However, Tang Feng only looked at it for more than ten minutes and put the phoenix hairpin back on the table.

"I'm done."

"Puff..."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.

Two people were drinking tea and spit it out.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open, looking unbelievable.

Isn't this time too short?

Including Zhang Jicheng, who was also shocked by his speed, helped to remind him, "Xiao Feng, you should focus on accuracy, not speed."

Anyway, Xue Yingjie didn't set a time limit, so the more carefully you look, the better.

"But I've finished looking, I can't waste time, right?"

Tang Feng looked at his master with an innocent face.

Everyone present shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

What can you see in ten minutes?

At most, you can get a rough idea.

But for antiques, a lot of knowledge is hidden in the details.

Just one carelessness could lead to a misjudgment.

They didn't believe that Tang Feng could see all the details with just a few glances.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like a broken jar.

"Are you sure you don't want to continue looking? What if you are wrong?"

Xue Yingjie reminded him with a strange smile on his face.

"If I am wrong, it proves that I am not good enough and I don't have the face to take over the position of chief appraiser of Yayuan." Tang Feng also looked at him with a smile, as if he was confident.

Seeing that he said so, Xue Yingjie didn't say anything more, "Since you already have the answer, I have nothing to say."

"But no matter what your answer is, you must give your reasons, and you can't rely on guessing."

"Understood." Tang Feng nodded.

"That's good, please tell me your judgment." Xue Yingjie raised his hand, quite graceful.

"All the seniors have seen it just now, and everyone agrees that this phoenix hairpin is authentic..." Tang Feng slowly swept his eyes over the people present, and suddenly paused, "But after my appraisal, this phoenix hairpin is a fake!"

"Wow..."

As soon as he made this conclusion, a lot of discussion immediately broke out at the scene.

Everyone had suspicion on their faces, and it was obvious that they did not agree with his conclusion.

Xue Yingjie was stunned for a moment, staring at Tang Feng for two seconds, "Why do you think this phoenix hairpin is a fake? Please give your reasons."

Tang Feng read the conclusion given by the system again, then stood up and talked freely.

"I have to say that the counterfeiting technology of this phoenix hairpin is indeed very sophisticated, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing, but in a few small details, it still reveals its flaws."

"First of all, the jade inlaid on this phoenix hairpin is made of scraps of jade or jade with jade skin left to pretend to be patina. This method of aging is very confusing. But there is still a difference between the original skin color and the patina..."

"In addition, the oxidation and weathering of the metal part, the aging technique is still very sophisticated. But there are still the following problems..."
