Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 1110: Jade pendant?Thallium tail!

Lin Ran was stunned. The little girl's action was clearly pushing him into the fire pit. He didn't understand why the girl did this.

"What?" Ke Yu looked at Lin Ran and smiled: "What, don't you like sitting with me?"

"No..." Lin Ran was speechless and couldn't find anything wrong.

But he felt in his heart that Ke Yu did it on purpose.

Soon, Lin Ran's ominous premonition came true.

Not long after Ke Yu took his seat, a young man walked towards them while swaying a red wine glass.

Ke Liang was eating when he saw the young master coming over. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Luo Wenkai, do you have anything to do with us?"

This young man's name is Luo Wenkai, and his facial features are pretty good, but he is full of evil spirits, giving people the impression that he is not a good person.

Luo Wenkai smiled at Ke Liang and said, "Master Ke, I just came to say hello to your treasure appraiser."

Then, he said to Lin Ran politely: "Are you a treasure appraiser from the capital?"

Guan Yun knew at a glance that he was here to cause trouble again, and he was about to rebuke him.

Lin Ran thought that there was no need to have conflicts now. This kind of trouble would definitely become more and more frequent in the future.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Luo Wenkai with a smile: "I can't even speak of a treasure appraiser, I just have a little understanding."

"You know a little bit about it." Luo Wenkai smiled maliciously, then took out a small object from his pocket with his left hand and placed it on the table.

Then he passed through the glass and turned to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran just glanced at it, and it turned out to be a piece of jade.

It is five centimeters long and wide, square, with snake patterns carved on the surface.

Without waiting for Lin Ran to ask, Luo Wenkai continued: "This is the gift I am going to give to Miss Ke. Since you are a treasure appraiser, please help me take a look and estimate how much it is worth."

On the surface, he was joking with them, but his words were full of meanness.

Lin Ran picked up the jade and took a look. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary amulet.

This kind of amulet can be found everywhere in scenic spots. You can get it for ten yuan, so it is not a rare commodity.

However, carvings are still somewhat rare.

Usually this kind of amulet is carved with the twelve zodiac signs to represent the zodiac patron saint.

Snake amulets are also relatively common.

But the relief on it is different from the common snake statues.

Because, it turned out to be a four-legged snake, and judging from its movements, it seemed to be dancing.

This was the first time Lin Ran saw this kind of carving. The posture was extremely vivid, but it seemed a little funny.

Lin Ran didn't speak for a long time. Luo Wenkai thought that Lin Ran didn't understand, so he showed his gold teeth and said with a smile: "What? The treasure appraiser doesn't know what kind of jade this is? Then let me give you a hint, this jade pendant , not a cheap item on the market, but an old item.”

Ke Yu turned his face to one side, showing no interest in Luo Wenkai's gift.

Lin Ran had been looking at the jade pendant when he arrived, and then he laughed.

"Master Luo is right. This is indeed an old object. However, this is not a jade pendant..."

"What?" Luo Wenkai said angrily, staring at Lin Ran, "You mean what I got is a fake? Haha, don't be embarrassed if you can't tell."

"The exact name of this accessory should be Thallium Tail." Lin Ran returned the item to the table and then turned back to Luo Wenkai.

Luo Wenkai felt that he was making a fool of himself and said with a displeased face, "What is thallium tail? Do you mean what I got is fake jade?"

Lin Ran raised his head and glanced at Su Yuankai, then picked up the so-called jade pendant and started looking at it.

Lin Ran smiled and shook his head and said: "The thallium tail is the connection part of the ancient jade belt. You can just understand it as the symbol of modern people's trouser belts."

In a few words, Lin Ran clearly explained the true function of this item.

It was not worn around the neck as Luo Wenkai thought, but an ornament pinned to the waist.

Because when Ke Yu came in just now, he brought all his attention to Lin Ran.

Therefore, even if Lin Ran spoke softly, he could still be heard clearly by all the guests present.

Luo Wenkai felt a little embarrassed and said, "What evidence do you have?"

Lin Ran didn't want to explain too much to him, but Ke Liang saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ran and recalled the disrespectful attitude of the guests towards Lin Ran before.

Ke Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, since Luo Wenkai has humbly asked for advice, please give him some guidance."

Lin Ran took Ke Liang's words and said, "Okay."

He also knows that showing his strength now will be helpful for future work.

He took out a laser pointer from his pocket and shined it on the collection.

"This jade pendant has another name, called Dai Kua. But most of the time, we call it thallium tail."

"The thallium tail is the last part of the jade belt worn by an old friend."

"Jade pendants usually worn on the chest often come into contact with the skin, so the requirements for carving skills are relatively high. First, they must fit the curvature of the chest. The requirements for jade belts are relatively low. They are usually tied around the periphery of the clothes, as long as they are not made into special diaphragms. Just follow the shape of a person."

Lin Ran raised the jade pendant and gestured with a smile.

If you wear this kind of jade pendant, you will definitely get calluses on your chest.

Not everyone present has researched antiques.

But most people were familiar with jewelry, and Lin Ran's words solved their confusion.

They thought about it and it was true.

The shape of this jade is not suitable for wearing as an amulet.

As the son of a jade merchant, Luo Wenkai made such a low-level mistake, which can be described as making people laugh.

But Lin Ran didn't mock Luo Wenkai like others.

Instead, he took a flashlight and shined it into the jade, and said: "Although this is not a jade pendant, the skill of this relief cannot be underestimated. It has obvious carving techniques of the Ming Dynasty. The carving techniques of the Ming Dynasty emphasized large openings and large closings, which seemed rough. It's actually very delicate. But this snake uses an exaggerated interpretation technique, which is obviously different from the traditional craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty."

Lin Ran put the jade back on the table, handed it to Luo Wenkai, and said, "In my opinion, this is a thallium tail from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Although it is a folk product, it is indeed worth a little money. However, this thing should be It seems inappropriate for you to give it to Miss Ke when it is worn by an adult man."

"Miss Ke, what do you think?"

"I don't need it. Thank you Mr. Luo for your kindness." Ke Yu smiled.

Lin Ran made a gesture to please take it back.

Luo Wenkai suddenly felt ashamed, but what Lin Ran said made sense and gave him a step down.

He hurriedly took the jade back and said, "Miss Ke, I'm sorry, I made a mistake this time. I'll prepare a better gift for you next time."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Originally he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show off, but now he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip into.

"it is good!"

I don’t know who took the lead in shouting, and applause broke out in the venue.

Love to watch the excitement, regardless of class, even the rich.
