After making his judgment, Xue Chen took the initiative to accept all the information that the black ancient jade conveyed into his heart.
"Okay, it is indeed the same as what I identified!"
Seeing that the information conveyed by the black ancient jade was exactly the same as what he identified, Xue Chen cheered inwardly, and his eyes bloomed with joy.
He picked up paper and pen and scribbled down: Qing Dynasty Qianlong five-dragon and six-cornered large box, modern fired handicraft, worth three thousand. Although it is a fake, it is considered to be a very sophisticated one among the fakes, and it still has ornamental value.
of.
After appraising the first item, Xue Chen took a breath and focused on the second item, which was a knife.
As soon as he reached out and touched the iron sheath on the outside of the knife, he felt a chill.
"laugh……"
Holding the knife handle engraved with a checkered pattern, he slowly pulled out the blade, revealing the gray-black blade and silver-white blade one by one.
"This knife..."
Xue Chen held the knife in his hand and felt a little unsure. Weapons are considered a relatively unpopular item among antiques. He had very little contact with them on weekdays. For a while, he really couldn't tell the origin and authenticity of this knife.
After carefully appreciating the ancient sword in his hand, he saw four small characters in regular script engraved on the top of the blade under the handle: To Zhang Taiping.
"Zhang Taiping, who is it?"
Xue Chen remained motionless, frowning, trying to find some information about this person in his head.
At the same moment, Luo Jiang from Zhenbaoxuan was also concentrating on appraising the three treasures from Jindian Pawn Shop, but in fact his mind was not on it at all, because the detailed information of Jindian's three antiques had already been installed
In his mind, it can be said that he knows everything by heart, but now he is just pretending.
"Hey, Zhou Yunfei is definitely not comparable to that Xue Chen. In this way, Zhenbaoxuan, which I represent, is first, Jindian is second, and Daxing is at the bottom. It's good, but it's just a pity that according to the agreement, the one I got from Daxing is the prize.
The antique treasures must be given to Jindian as compensation."
This is the agreement between the two families. One family will win the first place and get a name, and the other family will get an antique treasure and profit. It can be said to be a win-win situation, and Daxing Pawn Shop is completely included in the calculation.
…
More than two hundred pairs of eyes of the guests in the audience were watching every move of the three people, waiting with bated breath.
"Alas, it seems that my experience is still insufficient."
Xue Chen secretly sighed. After all, he couldn't be sure about this long sword, so he had no choice but to use ancient jade, a super cheating method.
"A Qi family sword from the Ming Dynasty. The iron blade is made of iron and silver. The whole armor is complete and forged with steel. It meets Qi Jiguang's requirement for battle swords that 'the iron should be refined more and the blade should be made into steel'. This sword was used after the great victory in the Battle of Pinghaiwei.
, Qi Jiguang ordered the swordsmith to make it and gave it to his subordinate Captain Zhang Taiping. It is a treasure among the Qi family swords and has great collection and historical value, worth 1.2 million."
"It turned out to be the sword given to his subordinates by the anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang." Xue Chen suddenly realized. Without any further hesitation, he filled in the detailed information in the form.
Putting down the Qi family knife in his hand, Xue Chen turned his eyes to the last antique, which was a framed ink calligraphy scroll. He subconsciously looked at the signature and saw the three characters Ji Xiaolan...
Appreciating antiques is a meticulous job, and sixty minutes is just right. When the time limit was reached, the three of them sent the filled-in forms to Lin Xirong and handed them over to the five judges on the podium.
After the five judges got their hands on it, they gathered together and started discussing softly.
Xue Chen had a calm expression on his face. He stood quietly on the spot and met the eyes of Shen Wanjun and Shen Zixi who were looking at him. He nodded and gave a reassuring look in return.
At this time, Lin Xirong said with a sweet smile: "The five judges are currently discussing, so in the next short period of time, let's invite the three chief appraisers to appreciate individual treasures to open everyone's eyes, how about it?"
"Okay!" The guests in the audience responded in unison.
Lin Xirong first came to Luo Jiang, randomly picked up a bronze Bodhisattva statue from the three antiques taken out from the gold pawn shop, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Luo Jiang, can you tell me, what do you think of this Bodhisattva?" Like your view?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Luo Jiang pointed to the Bodhisattva statue in Lin Xirong's hand and talked eloquently, "This Bodhisattva is in a meditative posture, so it is named the Meditation Bodhisattva Statue. And because one leg is placed on top of the other, its full name is the Half-Lotus Meditation Bodhisattva Statue. But as far as I know, this Bodhisattva statue is collected in a foreign national museum. This one is obviously an imitation. Although it has the shape, it has no spirit..."
Luo Jiang spoke eloquently, and as soon as he finished speaking, the venue burst into warm applause.
Xue Chen was quite surprised when he saw what Luo Jiang said was so precise and detailed. It would be fine if he could learn so much detailed information in a pawn shop with the help of a large amount of information and computer network, but he could appreciate it on the spot. It's so thorough, it's pretty awesome.
He thought that he could not achieve this without the help of ancient black jade, "Is Luo Jiang's level so high? But as far as I know, even if he is better than Huang Pinqing, the difference shouldn't be so big."
Lin Xirong said thank you, put down the Bodhisattva statue, came to Zhou Yunfei again, picked up a Daxing antique, and asked Zhou Yunfei to appreciate it for the guests.
Zhou Yunfei seems to be quite boring and rigid. He simply stopped talking and stopped talking.
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Lin Xirong immediately moved her beautiful legs wrapped under the hip-hugging skirt, arrived at Xue Chen's side, stretched out her bare hands, and picked up the most eye-catching and special ancient knife on the table: "Mr. Xue Chen, can you show it to us? Touch this knife?"
In an instant, all the guests present focused their attention on Xue Chen's young face, and Sun Jinyang, who was sitting firmly on the chair, had a sinister smile on his lips.
He bought this knife a year ago, and it took him a month to figure out the history of the knife and determine its value.
He was confident that Xue Chen did not understand the origin of the knife, and waited quietly for Xue Chen to be speechless, unable to say anything, and make a big fool of himself in public!
Xue Chen smelled the alluring scent of perfume emanating from Lin Xirong's graceful body, rubbed his nose, and explained slowly: "This sword has extraordinary historical significance, because it was the sword of the army led by Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty. He It has a distinct Qi Jiajun style..."
Xue Chen opened his mouth, and Sun Jinyang's expression immediately changed.
"This Zhang Taiping is a lieutenant under Qi Jiguang. He was rewarded by Qi Jiguang for his bravery in the Battle of Pinghaiwei."
When Xue Chen finished his appreciation, the banquet hall was quiet for a moment, followed by thunderous applause.
"It's amazing, my experience is really extraordinary."
"It's enough to determine that it is a Qi family sword, but to be able to tell who Zhang Taiping is, and to know which battle it was given to him, is amazing!"
"I think this is more difficult to identify than the half-legged meditation Bodhisattva just now. It's amazing."
Seeing the young-looking Xue Chen talking calmly and calmly, all the guests present showed shocked expressions on their faces and clapped and nodded in appreciation.
Lin Xirong stared at Xue Chen in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining again and again. She suddenly felt that although this young man was dressed in ordinary clothes and had an ordinary appearance, he seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious aura, which was very attractive to explore and understand deeply. .
"Dad, Xue Chen is really amazing. Have you ever heard of Zhang Taiping from Qi Jiajun?" Shen Zixi asked Shen Wanjun at the guest table with surprise in her eyes.
Shen Wanjun shook his head in embarrassment: "This is too biased. I have never heard of it, but since Xue Chen said it with such certainty, it should be true."
Lin Xirong smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Xue Chen for your explanation."
Putting down the ancient sword, Lin Xirong turned around and glanced at the five judges, then her rosy cheeks were filled with joy and expectation: "The five judges have already discussed the results of the third round of competition."
As soon as the results came out, the venue quickly fell silent.
Sun Jinyang's ugly expression just now also softened. He looked at Shen Wanjun, whose crow's feet were shining with joy at the corners of his eyes, and secretly said: "Shen, you are too happy too early. The first place must belong to me, Zhenbaoxuan."
Among the five judges, Chen Yibo stood up, holding a piece of paper in his hand, facing the microphone, and read in a high-pitched voice: "The appraisal results of the three antiques from Daxing by Zhou Yunfei, the representative of Jindian Pawn Shop, are as follows."
"The first one, a Northern Song Dynasty official kiln maid's listening to the wind vase, was identified as a fake, completely correct, and the estimated value of three thousand, completely correct."
"The second piece, a bamboo and stone painting by Zheng Banqiao in the later years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, has been identified as authentic and completely correct. The estimate is 900,000, which is completely correct."
"The third piece, the late Ming Dynasty Nine Dragons double-headed jade Ruyi, was identified as genuine and correct, with an estimated value of 850,000... After unanimous discussion among our five evaluators, we believed that the value was not consistent. The market value of this treasure should be within 100,000 yuan." It’s over 1.2 million, so the valuation is wrong.”
Zhou Yunfei's rigid face first frowned, and after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.
"well!"
When Shan Yunhai heard that the first two items were all correctly appraised, but the last one was wrongly appraised, he knocked on the armrest of the chair with some reluctance.
Shen Wanjun had a smile in his eyes. This jade Ruyi was Daxing's trump card. The difficulty of appraisal was comparable to that of the Qi family sword and the half-lotus Meditation Bodhisattva statue. As expected, Zhou Yunfei suffered a setback in terms of valuation.
In the end, Zhou Yunfei scored five points in the third round and deducted one point.
Afterwards, Liu Ming, president of the Municipal Painting and Calligraphy Association, stood up and read out Luo Jiang’s appraisal results of the three antiques from the gold pawn shop.
"The first piece, a statue of the Bodhisattva with half-legged posture in meditation, was identified as a fake and is completely correct. The estimated value is five thousand, which is completely correct."
"The second piece, a pastel bowl of Wanli Song and Dance in the Ming Dynasty, has been identified as authentic and completely correct. Its estimated value is 950,000, which is completely correct."
"The third piece, a Tang Sancai bowl with a gold pottery figure, has been identified as authentic and completely correct. Its estimated value is 1.2 million, which is completely correct."
From the first to the third piece of antiques, no matter in terms of dating, authenticity, or market value estimation, they were all correct. When the appraisal results of the third piece were read out, the entire venue was shocked.
"What, all the appraisals are accurate?"
With a bang, many guests in the venue stood up and looked at the unattractive Luo Jiang in front of the podium, their eyes filled with deep shock! (To be continued)
