After Bai Sha left, I also returned to the yard and helped Mr. Cao record the things moved back from various major markets.

There were so many antiques brought back. Based on their quality and style, I could tell at a glance that they were definitely artifacts touched from below.

"Third Master, you have learned a little bit from me before, and you have some experience in distinguishing the real from the fake. Come and see how many fakes there are in these?"

I raised my eyebrows: "Fake?"

Mr. Cao nodded and told me that it was impossible to sell all authentic items in the Pankou store. The unspoken rule of this business is to mix genuine items with fake ones. Even a very professional connoisseur would be cheated.

"Everyone in the industry will make mistakes. I just spent so much time learning from you. What can I tell?"

"Hey, this involves a deeper secret of the Zhang family. Only every Mojin Hall master and the Zhang family master knows this... The counterfeit goods made by the Zhang family must pass through the eyes of the Mojin Hall master and the Zhang family master.

The counterfeit products will be stamped with the Zhang family’s unique anti-counterfeiting mark by the master of the Golden Hall and the owner of the family... This mark is very special, and if you don’t understand the method, it will look the same as the original product no matter how you look at it.”

I curled my lips and replied: "Then you should teach me. If you don't teach me, it's all nonsense..."

"I can't be the only one who agrees with this. Although Mr. Qiu, you are not the head of the family, but Mr. Qiu is determined to train you. This time the limelight of Handicap is over, he will teach you personally."

I was speechless for a while. Master Cao, an old boy, deliberately teased me and told me that there was such a thing. He also told me that he couldn't teach me for the time being. Isn't this just showing the big bird to the widow?

The second brother came back very late, looking very tired. I poured him a cup of tea. After drinking, the second brother rubbed his face and said to me: "I have already taken care of the research institute. You can go with Mr. Cao tomorrow."

There; you joined the institute as a student of Master Cao, and Master Cao had your name in it a long time ago, so it is justifiable for you to enter."

I was still surprised. The second brother acted too quickly. It seems that the current situation of the Zhang family is very critical, which is why the second brother was so impatient and wanted to send me to the institute immediately.

"What's the status of the handicap situation now?"

The second brother seemed unwilling to mention this matter to me. He told me that most of the time it was his colleagues who fired the guns, threw a lot of fakes into the Zhang family's market, and then sent a message to Lei Zi, so he was suddenly investigated.

Already.

I frowned. I remember that when my grandfather and I were arrested, we were arrested so quickly and without any warning. People in this industry like to use this method of directly firing Lei Zi's cannon if they can't defeat others?

The second brother didn't say anything more to me, and asked me to stop worrying about handicap matters and concentrate on going to the institute to learn more useful things. Even if something happens to the Zhang family in the future, I still have an official identity and will not be exposed.

How about it.

Before going back to the room, the second brother came back and said to me specifically: "Sister will be back at the end of the month."

"Sister?"

My eldest sister's somewhat stern face suddenly appeared in my mind.

But after all, my eldest sister is my only relative besides my second brother, and I haven’t seen her for many years. I really miss her.

...

The next morning, I took my ID and went with Master Cao to the research institute that my second brother mentioned.

"Master Cao, since when did you get your name in this?"

I stood outside the door of the institute and saw college students and old professors coming in and out who seemed to be knowledgeable. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. After all, I am a person who has been in prison. After graduating from high school, I was at the age where I should go to college.

After being imprisoned, if my true identity is discovered by the people here, not only will it be difficult for me to explain, but even my second brother will be implicated.

But Mr. Cao was not as nervous as I was. He seemed very relaxed: "A few years ago, when I was in Panjiayuan, the capital, I met an old professor in this institute. He didn't know that I was a native speaker. He simply thought that I was a

Talent, he invited me to join this institute. Unexpectedly, he had quite a lot of power here, and he gave me an official position. Except for going through the formalities at that time, I never came once in the following days.

came."

After a pause, he added: "Third Master, you don't have to worry, these are all brats, no one will doubt your identity... As for the older professors, they spend their time doing archaeological research every day.

If it’s not enough, no one will take the time to check you specifically.”

Master Cao said this and I felt relieved. We made an agreement that when we are in the institute in the future, I will call him teacher and he will call me Xiao Zhang.

After entering the institute, Mr. Cao led me to go through the formalities, and I happened to meet an old professor on the way.

This old man had sparse hair and his eyes were hanging on the bridge of his nose. When he saw Master Cao and me, he immediately stopped and looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze: "Which department are you two in? I've never seen you before?"

My heart thumped, this guy was caught just after he came in?

Master Cao, who was standing aside, remained calm despite the danger. He cleared his throat twice and said, "I am Cao Meng, an expert from the Western Han Dynasty Research Laboratory. This is my student, Zhang Zhiqiu."

The old man pushed up his glasses and frowned: "Surnamed Cao? There seems to be no expert named Cao in the Western Han Dynasty Research Laboratory, right?"

"Haha, I have never been to the institute on a temporary basis. Didn't I just accept a student? As a tutor, I can't let students come to the institute to do research on their own, so this is also my first official day of employment."

The old man still didn't quite believe what Master Cao said, so Master Cao simply said directly: "I was directly recommended by Dean Wu. If you don't believe my identity, you can go to him directly."

"Oh, Dean Wu introduced me... I seem to be a little impressed by what you said. Are you the same person who helped Dean Wu identify a jade cup from the Western Han Dynasty?"

Master Cao grinned and smiled, showing his yellow teeth: "Oh, yes, I am him!"

The old man suddenly realized something, and immediately smiled, and quickly extended his hand to Master Cao: "I have long admired my name...Expert Cao, my name is Shi Xiong, and I am a professor in the Cultural Relics Clearance Department. From now on, we will all be colleagues, so we will keep in touch."

Master Cao nodded with a smile, and then said to Shi Xiong: "Professor Shi, this is my student Zhang Zhiqiu. He has a very good talent. You should take more care of him when he is in the institute in the future..."

"They are all from my family...Xiaoqiu, right? If you encounter any difficulties in the institute, or if any documents are difficult to approve, you can come to Professor Shi and I will approve them for you!"

.....

After Shi Xiong left, I gave Mr. Cao a thumbs up and praised me from the bottom of my heart: "Master Cao, I have always underestimated you before, but I didn't expect you to actually help the director of the institute look at cultural relics!"

Master Cao let out a "poof" and said: "You're a fool. The dean and I just fell in love with the same baby when we were in Panjiayuan. I finally gave it to him. Just now that old boy asked me if I was helping Wu
