Chapter 35 I only need to take a slight action

Lin Lang took the microphone with a smile, looked at the treasure holder, Ms. Huang, and asked, "Hello, treasure holder!"

“Hello, expert!”

"I come from a rural area on the outskirts of Haikou, and have been farming with my husband. I really want to know what such a small golden turtle antique collection is used for?"

Lin Lang looked at the entry prompt barrage and replied: "Judging from the appearance of the golden turtle and the inscription on its abdomen, this is a seal."

"This seal with a turtle shape is from the Han Dynasty. Official seals of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty used turtle-shaped seals for officials above the county level, and nose-shaped seals for officials below the county level."

"A Han Dynasty seal made of gold represents an extraordinary status of its owner."

"In the Han Dynasty, turtles had many meanings. Small officials were not allowed to use turtle-shaped seals. Even high-ranking officials had to earn more than 2000 dan to use turtle-shaped seal knobs. In addition, high-ranking officials usually used silver seals."

"The golden turtle-shaped seal can only be used after winning an award. The reason for this system is that turtles have a special meaning in ancient times."

"The turtle itself has a long lifespan, so the turtle shape implies the longevity of the person holding the seal. At the same time, turtles also have the meaning of guarding the house and blessing in ancient times. Among the four sacred beasts believed in by the ancients, the incarnation of Xuanwu is based on the turtle."

"The Inner Chapter of Baopuzi states, 'Life is bound to die, but turtles and cranes live long.'"

"And because ancient people used tortoise shells as currency, the tortoise also symbolizes wealth and good fortune."

"Judging from the carving technique and the seal script on the abdomen, this turtle-shaped seal is authentic and is also the golden seal of the Prince of Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is a priceless national treasure."

Ms. Huang, the owner of the treasure standing nearby, immediately waved her arms happily after listening to Lin Lang's appraisal and comments, and was even so happy that she couldn't control herself.

The audience cheered and applauded after hearing this, and were happy for the treasure holder, Ms. Huang.

Marry Yang, a beautiful mixed-race director, saw Lin Lang looking very handsome and photogenic on the camera monitor, and gave his appraisal comments confidently and professionally. She was worried about Lin Lang at first, but now a beautiful and exotic smile appeared on her face.

“I was actually amazed by him!”

"I really can't believe that this pretty boy Lin Lang is actually an excellent treasure appraiser. He knows a lot and actually has real skills."

"I was worried that Lin Lang would mess up this episode, but I didn't expect that by hiring a young handsome treasure appraiser, the pictures shot would be so pleasing to the eye. This episode is really a win!"

at the same time.

Cai Guosheng was quite shocked after hearing this.

Obviously, Cai Guosheng never expected that Lin Lang would dare to announce the appraisal results in front of the audience and the camera without humbly asking for advice from two senior predecessors, him and Gong Jiarui, after appraising the treasures alone.

"Zhou Zhongdang's disciple is indeed conceited. I want to see if he really has the ability to appraise treasures, or if he has lost face for his master by making mistakes in public."

After reading it, Cai Guosheng took a look at the golden seal and was immediately shocked. He thought, "It seems that Zhou Zhongdang's disciple is not a simple person!"

"With my thirty years of experience as a treasure appraiser, I can only tell with my own eyes that this golden seal is a genuine tortoise-shaped seal from the Eastern Han Dynasty, but I dare not conclude that this golden tortoise-shaped seal is the golden seal of the Prince of Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"I didn't expect that Lin Lang is so promising at such a young age. He reached the peak right after his debut. He is even better than me who has thirty years of experience in treasure appraisal. I am really slapped in the face by my juniors!"

After Cai Guosheng finished reading, he praised with some embarrassment: "My dear nephew, you have good eyesight!"

"My dear nephew, you are indeed the last disciple of the treasure appraiser Zhou Zhongdang. Your appraisal results are accurate and perfect. You are truly better than your master!"

Gong Jiarui was surprised to see that Lin Lang had identified the golden tortoise seal as the priceless golden seal of King Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was immediately shocked and convinced by the fledgling junior Lin Lang.

After examining the golden tortoise seal, Gong Jiarui secretly admired the treasure appraisal skills of his junior Lin Lang, but at the same time he also had some evil thoughts.

Gong Jiarui asked in a perplexed manner, "Ms. Huang, how did you get this golden turtle seal?"

Ms. Huang, the owner of the treasure, replied truthfully: "We dug it out from under the homestead when we were renovating an old house in our hometown."

Gong Jiarui even said in a moral blackmail: "This golden tortoise seal is very rare and of great cultural relic value. Ms. Huang should hand it over to the country and make a contribution to the protection of Xia's cultural relics."

Lin Lang wanted to laugh after hearing this. The priceless golden seal of King Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty was handed over to the country in exchange for a silk banner and a reward of 500 Chinese yuan. Isn't this encouraging people to be fools?

After hearing this, the smile on the face of Ms. Huang, the owner of the treasure, suddenly stopped.

It is obvious that Ms. Huang is very unhappy with the remarks made by the treasure appraiser Gong Jiarui, who morally blackmailed her into handing over the treasures to the country.

Ms. Huang immediately declined the offer, saying, "This priceless golden seal can change our poor family's fate. I am only here to verify the authenticity and value of the golden seal, and I have no intention of handing it over to the state."

Gong Jiarui said, "Ms. Huang, you may not understand the Cultural Relics Protection Law. Your golden tortoise seal is not inherited from your ancestors. It is an unearthed cultural relic and must be handed over to the state. It is illegal to possess it privately."

Ms. Huang panicked after hearing this and said weakly, "How can we not hand over the treasures we dug out from our old house to the state? Is that against the law?"
