In 2017, Ms. Lin suspected that her mother-in-law gave her a fake bracelet, so she went to the treasure appreciation show, and her mother-in-law told her that the bracelet was worth 1 million as a bride price.
Golden sunlight shines through the antique window lattice, and falls on the mahogany table, on which is a brocade box, in which lies a jade bracelet with a whole emerald green body. The bracelet is crystal clear, and the tentacles are warm, as if with the temperature of the years. Ms. Lin stroked it gently, her eyes were complicated, with anticipation, apprehension, and a trace of imperceptible suspicion.
This bracelet was given to her by her mother-in-law as a bride price and is said to be worth millions. The mother-in-law said that this is a treasure handed down from her ancestors, and she hopes that Ms. Lin will cherish it. Ms. Lin was deeply moved at that time and felt that her mother-in-law had truly accepted her. But after a long time, she gradually began to wonder how could her mother-in-law's family background be ordinary and have a family heirloom worth millions? Friends around her also kindly reminded her that fakes are rampant now, so let her keep an eye on it. Ms. Lin said no, but in her heart it was like planting a seed of doubt, which gradually took root and sprouted over time, making it difficult for her to sleep.
Ms. Lin thought about it and decided to find an expert to help identify it. She heard that there was a very popular treasure appreciation program, and she often invited authoritative experts to evaluate the folk collections, so she signed up with the mentality of giving it a try.
At the recording site of the program, the lights were bright and crowded. Ms. Lin and several other guests with their babies sat backstage, waiting to be presented on stage. She clutched the brocade box in her hand tightly, and a layer of sweat broke out in her palms.
"Next, Ms. Lin, please bring your collection to the stage." The staff's voice sounded, and Ms. Lin took a deep breath and slowly walked to the center of the stage.
The stage lighting was a little dazzling, and Ms. Lin squinted her eyes slightly, and saw three experts sitting opposite, their expressions were serious, and their eyes were sharp, as if they could see through everything.
"Hello Ms. Lin, could you please introduce your collection?" The moderator asked with a smile on his face.
Ms. Lin settled down and began to tell the origin of the bracelet and the doubts in her heart. She tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, but the slight trembling voice still revealed the tension in her heart.
The experts listened attentively and whispered a few words from time to time. One of the gray-haired experts picked up a magnifying glass and carefully observed every detail of the bracelet, from color to texture, from carving to texture, without missing any clues.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn. Ms. Lin's heart also hung in the air, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making her almost breathless.
Finally, the expert put down the magnifying glass and spoke slowly......
