Although Xia Kaisheng's master and apprentice are suspected of cheating now, there is no evidence now, and they can't be treated like that, and Jiang Haoyan can't be deprived of his qualification. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in this case, due to the relationship between Xia Kaisheng and Jiang Haoyan, Xia Kaisheng had to automatically remove his identity as a judge in order to avoid suspicion.

At this time, Zheng Anzhi made the same decision in order to avoid suspicion and also to protect Meng Zitao.

There were two judges missing, and the competition had to be temporarily stopped. The organizing committee urgently agreed to temporarily transfer two judges.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the two temporary judges arrived, both of whom were experts in the Forbidden City and were very famous in the antique world.

Before the judges arrived, the gourd bottle transfer also had a result, in fact, the reason is very simple, it was that the staff had a mistake in the process of watching the gourd bottle privately, and the gourd bottle was damaged, so they found a fake to temporarily put it on first, ready to repair the real product and then take it over.

But things are not coincidental, the genuine product that could have been repaired today was sent over, and it suffered a car accident, although the gourd bottle was not damaged again, but it delayed the time for replacement, so it caused the current situation.

Some people may wonder why gourd bottle fakes are so easy to find. This is because the owner lent the genuine product to a friend a few years ago, and the person had a lot of flowers and intestines, and took the genuine product as the standard, and made a batch of fakes, with high and low grades.

Although a batch of fakes was disposed of because the owner was angry, there are still fish that have slipped through the net and have fallen into the market, and some high-quality fakes are still collected. The one used to adjust the bag is one of the more realistic ones.

After learning the results of the investigation, everyone looked at Xia Kaisheng's master and apprentice intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that they were all expressionless and silent, and they didn't know what they felt in their hearts.

The judges arrived, the competition continued, and due to the accident of being replaced, the four judges re-identified the things on the other table, and the results of all five antiques were fine.

Next, the remaining six contestants walked to the table on the right one by one in order from back to front, and verified the authenticity of the five antiques on the table. Meng Zitao and the other two contestants who answered correctly filled in the reasons for choosing the two fakes on the paper, which will be used as the final scoring criteria.

However, due to Meng Zitao's introduction just now, the other two must have taken some light, but considering that the gourd bottle is actually easy to see for experienced experts, the judges did not interfere, if it is blind, it can only be said that it is lucky.

Meng Zitao wrote the answer and returned to his place.

At this time, Lu Dongchen returned to his seat after completing the appraisal, and when he saw Meng Zitao coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Zitao, can you introduce the problem of that statue?"

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, explained: "This statue on my side is actually not difficult to see the problem, I believe you should know, the old piece of bamboo carving after hundreds of years of use, you will find that the feel is soft, smooth and not astringent, no feel; Although this statue on my side has been treated, the feel is still different from the old one, and the other ......"

Meng Zitao explained in detail, and after hearing Lu Dongchen, he nodded again and again, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Zitao, I found that you are an all-rounder at all, is there any secret?"

Meng Zitao pointed to his head: "The secret is that I have a good memory, plus talent. ”

"Uh......" Lu Dongchen was a little speechless: "People are really angry compared to people!"

Meng Zitao smiled, and then said: "You asked me about the statue, is there some confusion about the statue you identified?"

"Not really. Lu Dongchen sighed: "I understand now, except for the initial set, it is not difficult for your group to identify the things themselves." And we are miserable, not to mention the difficulty of identifying things, and even saying that at least two of them are fakes, am I not a cheater?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Actually, why do you care about this?

Lu Dongchen smiled bitterly: "I know this truth, but the key is that I can't be sure of my judgment!"

Meng Zitao spread his hands: "I can't give you any advice on this matter." ”

Lu Dongchen sighed: "Hey, forget it, I don't want to, people die in the sky, they don't die for thousands of years, their own level is not good, and there is no way to think too much." ”

Meng Zitao said a comforting word: "Relax, the result has not come out yet, maybe there will be a good result." ”

Lu Dongchen nodded: "I hope." ”

The seventh place in the preliminary round is a woman, she is also the only woman among all the contestants, this pioneer is named Ren Kexin, the age looks like she is about thirty-two or three, although her appearance is relatively ordinary, but everyone's lady-like temperament makes everyone remember her at a glance.

Waiting for Ren Kexin to return to her seat meant that all the contestants had completed the identification, and after half a ring, the results were released, and it was still the same list announced by Hua Lao.

"It seems that the episode just now has affected the state of the players, there is only one correct answer in this round, the correct answer, Qing Tongzhi Pastel Kaiguang Bogu Pan and Qing Bai Jade Bat Lotus Bird Pattern Pei, these two are problematic, please Ren Kexin write down the reason for the choice, and the others will prepare for the next game. ”

Seeing that Ren Kexin was the only one who answered correctly, the remaining five players all showed extremely frustrated looks, and Lu Dongchen seemed to sit down on the chair even more.

This made Meng Zitao shake his head secretly, maybe Lu Dongchen's eyesight is not bad, but his heart is problematic, if he can't change it, his future achievements will be limited.

Meng Zitao patted Lu Dongchen on the shoulder: "Adjust your mentality and prepare for the next game." ”

Lu Dongchen said with a low expression: "I heard my grandfather say that the second round is very difficult, and my hope of advancing is slim. ”

Meng Zitao said with some seriousness: "Maybe I have made a deep statement, the difficulty is not only for you, if you don't believe in yourself, then there is no possibility of being shortlisted." Besides, even if you lose in the first round, there are still two places left, not to mention, the final score is obtained after the first round and the second round are combined, is it necessary for you to be so frustrated now?"

After listening to Meng Zitao's words, Lu Dongchen finally cheered up a little, clenched his fists and said: "That's right, if I don't believe in myself, then who else can believe it!

Waiting for Ren Kexin to submit his answer, the staff put down all the antiques on the table, and then took out two boxes about fifty centimeters square, and on the side of the box, a round hole was opened, but because the round hole was covered by a black cloth, even if the round hole was in everyone's sight, it was impossible to see what was inside.

Meng Zitao looked at the two boxes on the table with some puzzlement, wondering what the two boxes were for.

At this time, I heard Hua Lao clear his throat and said: "I think everyone has noticed that the two boxes on the table, in fact, there is an item in each of these two boxes, and it is up to you to judge what these two items are." ”

"What do you mean?"

The players at the scene, except for Jiang Haoyan, who was expressionless, heard Hua Lao's words, and they were all a little confused, and everyone whispered for a while.

Hua Lao coughed lightly, and the venue instantly quieted down, and then he continued: "I'll be more detailed, the way of this assessment is actually very simple, that is, to name the objects in these two boxes, but you can't look at it for a while, you can only judge by touching it." ”

Hua Lao's words made the players stunned, this method is simply unheard of.

In other words, when the appraiser appraisals antiques, the feel of things is indeed a very important indicator, but in the final analysis, most of the cases the feel is only an auxiliary, and if you want to judge the authenticity, the appraiser still has to rely more on his own eyesight to judge.

After all, the color, shape, and production process of antiques cannot be judged by the feel alone, and the role of the eyes is irreplaceable for most appraisers.

Of course, it is indeed possible for you to say whether the appraiser can judge the authenticity of an object by the touch, but this requires that the appraiser be very familiar with this kind of object and have a keen sense of touch.

But here's the problem, the players on the scene, if they are proficient in the field, it is indeed possible to complete this task, but the key players are proficient in a variety of fields, and there are only two things on the scene, and it is impossible to say that everyone can take care of it.

Therefore, there will definitely be some people who take advantage and some people who will not take advantage of it, and it will not be fair to everyone.

For the players, what they are most worried about is unfairness, although the first round of appraisal just now is already a little unfair, but at least there are areas that they are familiar with, and now there are two things, it all depends on luck, what is this?

For a while, the players didn't show it on the surface, but they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

Hua Lao looked around, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and then said: "Later, we will be divided into two groups as just now, and go up to identify them separately, you will reach into the round hole with your hand to touch the things in the box, and finally you will not only answer the specificity of these two objects, but also tell their authenticity." ”

"Note that there is a time limit for this round, only five minutes at most, no matter what the result is, it must come down, as for the result, it depends on the answer you write, the more detailed and specific the higher the score. Okay, according to the numbers of the first round, let's go on stage in turn. ”

When Hua Lao said the rules, a whisper sounded in the hall, and one of the players raised his hand: "Hua Lao, I have a question." ”

Hua Lao nodded: "You say." ”

The contestant said: "You should also know that the projects we are proficient in are not uniform, and I wonder how the organizing committee can take into account the fairness of the competition?"

Hua Lao smiled: "You asked this question well...... It's a pity that I can't tell you. However, you don't have to worry, we don't just eat dry food, there is a reason for this arrangement, and the final results will also be considered in all aspects, so you don't have to worry about fairness. ”

Hua Lao's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for everyone, which calmed the restless hearts of the players a lot.

Seeing that everyone had no problems, the person in charge motioned for the players to come on the field for identification, Meng Zitao and Lu Dongchen cheered each other, and then walked to their respective tables.

In fact, this form of assessment that only touches and does not look at it is absolutely beneficial to Mencius Tao, at least in terms of judging the authenticity of objects, as long as he uses special abilities, he can get the authenticity and age of things.

However, at this time, the ability is not omnipotent, because what is the content of the box, and what is the origin and origin, there is no way to do it, it can only rely on his own feel and experience.

Fortunately, Meng Zitao has an amazing memory, a sensitive touch, and a very rich imagination, as long as the things in the box are not unpopular to the point that he has no impression, he has a certain degree of confidence in judging it.

It's just that, looking at the box in front of him, Meng Zitao is still very puzzled in his heart, and he can't understand why the organizing committee would use such strange rules? If the things in the box are rare, I believe many players will be blind.

Half-ringing, Meng Zitao put the doubt in his heart to the back of his mind, put his hand into the box, and carefully touched the contents inside.

At first, Meng Zitao didn't know what it was, but felt that the shape was similar to that of an incense burner, but the specifics were a little different.

As time passed, Mencius relied on his imagination to slowly sketch out the shape of the objects in the box.

This utensil is divided into two parts, the upper part is like a bowl with a lid, the bowl lid is raised, the button is made of lotus bud shape, the cover is decorated with moire, there is a tray under the bowl, the two sides of the support are cast out of two lotus petals, and the round foot is like a rolled lotus leaf.

Although these were just the imagination of Meng Zitao, he could still feel the exquisiteness and magnificence of this artifact.

Then, Mencius recalled for a moment and found something similar to this artifact in his mind, which was a gilded bowl from the Tang Dynasty, and if this was a genuine item, it must be almost this artifact.

So, Meng Zitao used the ability, and the results confirmed that the age of the artifact was indeed the Tang Dynasty, and it was a genuine product, and the result should be similar to what he imagined.

At this point, the five minutes of time were almost exhausted, and Meng Zitao felt that if other people did not have such strength as himself, or if the box was something he was familiar with, it should be impossible to draw such a detailed conclusion within five minutes, let alone the authenticity of the thing.

After Meng Zitao completed the appraisal, he came to the side to fill in the conclusion he had reached, and the wording of the conclusion needed to be carefully considered, otherwise if he wrote down something that should not be written, such as something that only the eyes could see, then he would wait for bad luck.
