Chapter 145: Authentic and Imitation



Mr. Song was also a straightforward person, and asked Ruan Jingye for his bank card number.

They also drew up a contract and signed it in person.

"Young man, the money will be transferred to you in a moment."

Old Song looked at him and said, "I heard you have some valuables here. If you have anything big, you can come to us."

"Your price won't be less."

Ruan Jingye understood very well that the big objects they were talking about were national treasures.

For example, the imperial seal of the Emperor of Gan State is a historical symbol, and the jade ring of Emperor Taizong of Gan State is also a symbol.

"Uncle, are you done? Ruanruan wants to go home and sleep."

Ruanruan was getting a little impatient waiting, and she had already finished the two small cakes on the table.

She wiped her mouth, slid down from the sofa, and walked to Ruan Jingye's side. Only then did everyone notice Ruanruan.

Everyone looked at the cute little girl wearing ancient costume and was instantly attracted by her outfit.

"It will be fine soon." Ruan Jingye gently touched her chubby little face.

Ruan Jingye saw those people staring at his niece one by one. The intense gazes made him feel very uncomfortable, as if they were looking at an object that he desired very much.

These people can't be perverts!

He quickly pulled his little niece behind him to protect her, "What are you doing!"

"Young man, we don't mean anything, it's just..."

"Can I see the clothes your niece is wearing?" Old Song retracted his gaze and looked at Ruan Jingye.

"Is there something wrong with my niece's clothes?" Ruan Jingye asked puzzledly.

"She is probably wearing Suzhou embroidery!" Old Song's voice rose a few notches when he mentioned Suzhou embroidery.

"And it might also be a lost folk embroidery method. Do you know what this means, young man?"

Ruan Jingye was confused by what he said. It was just a piece of clothing.

"What?"

"The style of Suzhou embroidery has been passed down to this day, and it has undergone countless revisions. We have always wanted to find the source of Suzhou embroidery."

"However, due to limited historical data, we can only trace it back to more than a thousand years ago. However, archaeologists have discovered a product similar to Suzhou embroidery in a tomb dating back 3,000 years."

"That piece of embroidery is not Suzhou embroidery, so we guess that this is what Suzhou embroidery looked like before its evolution." Old Song said.

"We've been searching for it for so many years, but we haven't found any in other tombs. The one on your niece is different from anything we've seen before!"

"Oh oh oh, then you guys take a look." Seeing that they wanted to see her new clothes so much, Ruanruan walked out from behind her uncle with confidence.

Ruanruan opened her arms. Ruan Jingye glanced at her clothes and helped her take off the outer coat. He found that her clothes were very different.

The flowers on the clothes are lifelike, and you can see a flower no matter from which angle you look at it. If it were in this day and age, it would be very easy to make something like this, but if it were in ancient times.

Ruan Jingye took a closer look and found that the thread was very fine, almost embroidered one by one, and this gold thread looked so real!

The soft clothes were placed on the table, and several experts, holding magnifying glasses, carefully examined them.

"Yes, this is Su embroidery. Look at the pendant hanging on the edge of the plate."

"This pendant is green jadeite. Look at its quality. Each bead is finely carved and has petal patterns on it. Mr. Song, look at the words engraved underneath!" Professor Lu seemed to have discovered something. He widened his eyes and showed a bead to Mr. Song.

"This is an old item from Gan Country!"

"There are twelve in total!"

"And the flower embroidered on it is clearly made with gold thread, with every stitch applied. Furthermore, this pattern is only favored by the Gan Kingdom, with its cloud-like shape. The material of this garment should be the brocade used by the imperial court at the time."

Ruanruan saw them holding their clothes and mumbling something over there, and she didn't know what they were talking about. She just felt it was very strange.

"Uncle Ruanruan is hungry. When are we going home for dinner?" She pulled Ruan Jingye beside her.

"Have you seen this? My niece is hungry." Ruan Jingye said to them.

"Are you hungry? That's easy. Jiang Qi, quickly prepare something delicious for the kid. Don't be slow in entertaining the distinguished guests. Can you give the uncles and grandpas some time? You can eat and play for a while first." Professor Lu coaxed softly.

"Oh oh oh, okay, then hurry up, Ruanruan still has things to do."

She nodded her little head softly and pouted.

"Ruanruan, can we take a photo? And then display the photo of this embroidery in the museum?" Professor Lu couldn't help asking.

"Sure, as long as you don't get the soft clothes dirty."

Her dress is so beautiful, I must show it to everyone.

Jiang Qi immediately asked someone to bring the menu and coaxed the little ancestor to buy more time for the experts.

Ruanruan ordered a large table of dishes, and the entire table was filled. Ruan Jingye curled his lips and said, "You just ate two small pieces of cake. Can you eat so much now?"

"Of course, those two pieces of cake are so small, they are not enough for Ruanruan to fill his teeth." Ruanruan grabbed a chicken leg with his little hands and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Besides, Ruanruan is still small now. She needs to eat more to grow. Uncle, do you know that?"

"I know, I know. Just don't have indigestion." Ruan Jingye pursed his lips and glanced at the expert who was still busy working not far away.

Jiang Qi, who was standing next to him, poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Today is all thanks to your niece."

Isn’t it!

So many big shots are still busy, and they are sitting here to eat. Who has the face to do that?

Isn't it just soft?

The two clinked their glasses and smiled, looking at the softness of Gaga showing off his fandom. Unfortunately, the little girl didn't understand at all. In her eyes, these things were not as useful as this meal.

It was not until they finished their meal that the experts put down their pens, cameras and other things.

Old Song then came over and said, "Young man, this is a piece of clothing from the Gan Kingdom, and the embroidery on it is also from the Gan Kingdom."

"This dress is one of a kind in the world! How did you manage to preserve it until now?"

You have to know that those embroidery works, like those calligraphy and paintings, are very difficult to preserve. With the changes over the years, it is difficult to find such complete ones.

Ruan Jingye didn't know how to respond to their questions. He couldn't just say that these were clothes made by the Chinese themselves.

"If I say this dress is a high imitation, would you believe it?" Ruan Jingye said with a smile, thinking that less trouble is worse than more.

Elder Song and Professor Lu, who were standing opposite, stared at Ruan Jingye and said, "The high imitation is even more impressive. I wonder where you found the weaving technicians?"

The pendant on it may be an antique from the Qian Kingdom, the gold thread is also available today, and the embroidery method may have been learned from folk inheritors, but the brocade material is impossible to find now.

Jiang Qi, who was standing next to him, pulled Ruan Jingye and said with a smile, "He's joking."

These old foxes have seen everything and can still tell the difference between high-quality imitations and the real thing.
