Chapter 736: Counterfeit Incident

Ye Rou was stunned when she heard this. It took her a while to understand what Grandma Song was saying.

She did not subconsciously refute Grandma Song.

Instead, he looked in the direction Grandma Song's finger pointed and saw a colorful pottery figurine in the shape of a camel. It had a simple appearance, old color, a slight rust color, and bright glaze.

It is a Tang Dynasty low-temperature colored pottery figurine, also known as Tang Sancai.

Ye Rou looked around carefully, but didn't find any clues. She asked Grandma Song in a low voice: "How do you know this is a fake?"

"Look at the body quality. The body quality of authentic Tang Sancai is mostly white, light yellow or light red. The body quality is fine. If you look at the cross section, the color should gradually change from white to black, while the fake ones will not have such obvious changes."

"The luster is also different. The glaze of real Tang Sancai is soft and warm. It will have a clam luster after a long time. The color floats on the surface and is usually colorful. The fake ones will contain a thief luster and only have one or two colors."

Grandma Song spoke in detail. Ye Rou listened and observed carefully. With her sharp five senses and amazing eyesight, she found that it was just as Grandma Song said.

These are so subtle that an ordinary person might not notice the differences.

Ye Rou stood up straight, her face slightly gloomy: "As you said, it is indeed not true."

Seeing the two of them looking at a piece of painted pottery, Sun Baiqing thought Ye Rou liked it, so he immediately came forward and said that he had a similar piece at home and could give it to Ye Rou.

Ye Rou shook her head: "Thank you, but no thanks."

She motioned Sun Baiqing to come closer and whispered to her, "Can you please ask Director Gu to come in for me? I have something to tell him."

Seeing Ye Rou's serious expression, Sun Baiqing did not refuse and went out to find someone immediately.

Director Hu heard the whole story from the student and realized that Ye Rou and her group were the first to notice something was wrong, so he stepped forward and apologized:

"I'm sorry, everyone. This is indeed a mistake made by our museum. We scanned the special nature of the image. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of our museum."

He had a good attitude and spoke in a sincere tone, and Zheng Zhiyuan and others said it was okay.

Seeing that they had no intention of pursuing the matter, Director Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to leave with his students and nephew when he saw Gu Xue hurried in and walked quickly to a young girl.

Director Hu frowned.

Before the museum opened, he and Gu Xue had already discussed that Gu Xue would receive guests outside, while he would be responsible for the affairs inside the museum. Now seeing Gu Xue leaving the guests outside and coming in, Director Hu wanted to remind him.

But because Ye Rou and her group were there, he did not approach rashly. He waited for Gu Xue and the young girl to finish talking before moving forward.

Not knowing what the young girl said, Gu Xue leaned over to look carefully at the exhibits in front of him.

Director Hu knew this exhibit, a Tang Sancai pottery figurine.

Gu Xue looked at the pottery figurine carefully, even turning it from several directions to observe it, and his expression became more and more serious the more he looked.

Director Hu saw that he looked serious and thought that the colored pottery figurine was damaged. His face darkened and he immediately moved closer. But at this moment, he heard Gu Xue said, "From this, we can't be sure that this is a fake."

"Fake, what fake?!" When Director Hu suddenly heard this word, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he couldn't control his voice for a moment, attracting everyone's attention.

When Yang Fan heard someone say that the cultural relics in their museum were fakes, he immediately rushed over like a fighting cock, not noticing Hu Xing's guilty conscience beside him.

"We definitely won't have fakes!"

Yang Fan rushed over and said seriously, "Every artifact has been specially authenticated by my master. There is no way they are fake."

Director Hu had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

It was the first day of the museum's opening. There was a mistake in the information card, and now someone said that the cultural relics in their museum were fakes. It would be strange if he could look happy.

He looked at the young girl standing beside Gu Xue and was shocked by her appearance for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said seriously:

"Comrade, what makes you say this artifact is a fake? What evidence do you have?"

Seeing that it was Ye Rou and her group again, Yang Fan regarded them as liars who were causing trouble, and said angrily:

"Teacher, I think they are here to cause trouble on purpose. I think we should call the police directly!"

As soon as he said this, Gu Xue and Director Hu frowned at the same time, looking disapproving.

Not only will this not solve the problem, it will only make others think that their museum is guilty and eager to cover up others.

Yang Fan wanted to say more, but Director Hu scolded him harshly, so he shut up.

Director Hu looked at Ye Rou with an extremely cold gaze: "Comrade, if you can't provide evidence, we will definitely call the police."

Song Zhishu stepped forward and said, "I said it, I am sure this cultural relic is a fake."

Director Hu glanced up and down at Song Zhishu, and seeing that it was another woman, he sounded a little impatient.

"I still say that words are not enough. Please provide convincing evidence."

Song Zhishu asked the two to come closer and explained the differences to them carefully.

Ancient studies are carefully observed.

But Director Hu had had enough.

Before each cultural relic was exhibited, it was appraised by more than one expert, who all said that it was a treasure and there was no possibility of it being fake.

Director Hu interrupted Song Zhishu impatiently: "Enough, you are clearly making up stories. May I ask in what capacity you are pointing out that this cultural relic is a fake? I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Song Zhishu's expression darkened: "How come there is an academic qualification requirement for identifying cultural relics?"

"Of course." Yang Fan couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted, "You can't just say it's fake if someone says it's fake, right?"

Song Zhishu said calmly, "I'm not an archaeology professor, nor have I studied this professionally, but my ancestors have been pawnbrokers for three generations, and we have our own way of identifying authenticity. I'm sure this Tang Sancai is a fake."

Director Hu shook his head: "Nonsense, Yang Fan, call the police!"

Yang Fan agreed and was about to go out immediately.

Gu Xue suddenly called out to him, "Wait a moment."

Director Hu frowned and said, "Guxue, don't be partial to them just because they are people you know!"

Gu Xue's face was solemn: "This Tang Sancai is indeed a fake."
