"Mr. Lin, this gambling fight is divided into two parts."
"In the first treasure appraisal, there are five antiques in total. Whoever appraises the most will win the first round."
"The second game is a stone bet. Whoever gets the jade with the highest price will win!"
Cao Shaomin explained the rules of this gambling battle to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What if both sides win one game?"
"Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry about this. If you really win and lose, just find an antique or a rough stone at random and have a competition."
Cao Shaomin said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded and stopped talking.
As soon as the words fell, five tall women walked out of the back hall each carrying a tray.
There is a simple-looking utensil placed on each of the five trays.
Among them are two calligraphy and paintings, and the other three are a Buddha statue, a vase, and a horse made of ceramics.
"Our Duobao Zhai has asked many treasure appraisers to appraise the five antiques."
"Both parties can write down their firm results on each antique on paper, and then announce it together!"
A somewhat obese middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
He Tianlin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, are you confident that you can beat me?"
"nature."
Lin Xiao glanced at him and said lightly.
Hearing this, He Tianlin's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
But when he thought about Lin Xiao's close relationship with the Yun family, he could only suppress the anger in his heart secretly.
Then the middle-aged man picked up one of the calligraphy and paintings and opened it in front of everyone.
The painting is a landscape painting. When you see this painting, you feel like you are immersed in the scene, which is enough to see the high level of the author of this painting.
"You two, let's start?"
"The first antique is this landscape painting!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Xiao and He Tianlin and said.
After He Tianlin looked at it carefully, he picked up the pen and paper in front of him and started writing.
But Lin Xiao was sitting there without any movement.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't move for a long time, the crowd around him also became a little noisy.
"Isn't this guy incapable of appreciating treasures at all? Has Mr. Cao been deceived by him?"
"Who knows? This has nothing to do with us. Besides, how many people in this huge Beicheng dare to deceive Mr. Cao?"
"That's right, in my opinion, this Mr. Lin probably has real abilities, but he just doesn't want to take action for a while!"
...
Discussions continued all around, and everyone had their own opinions.
Of course, most of them thought that Lin Xiao had real abilities. After all, how could a person who could be called master by Yun Caixi, the eldest lady of the Yun family, be an ordinary person?
Listening to the chaotic discussion in his ears, Lin Xiao frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and had a faint smile on his face.
When Cao Shaomin saw that Lin Xiao was motionless, he frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt on his face.
He didn't believe that Lin Xiao didn't know how to identify treasures. Was he deliberately pretending?
"Mr. Lin, why haven't you taken action yet?"
Cao Shaomin asked with some confusion.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a fake, what's there to write about?"
