Huo Sining was dumbfounded when she heard this, she glanced at Bai Lao embarrassedly, and finally she looked around, and then with a little seriousness, Zhengse asked:

"Old Bai, I also have some of my own opinions and thoughts about Old Man Qin's condition, can we find a time to discuss them alone another day?"

The golden lotus was brought back by Huo Sining from the desert island, although the Fujiwara Qingpu was not here at this time, but in front of so many familiar or strangers, Huo Sining didn't dare to mention it casually, for fear that if one accidentally leaked out, he might get into trouble.

Bai Buzhi was stunned for a moment when he heard Huo Sining's words, but looking at Huo Sining's serious expression, Bai Buzhi's eyes also flashed a few traces, nodded, and left Huo Sining a contact information.

The two old men left quickly, and Huo Sining and his party of four continued to wander around Dashilar, and after shopping in Dashilar, they went to Liulichang and Dapanjiayuan.

I ran all over the three places, and finally found an ancient inkstone of the Southern Song Dynasty on an inconspicuous vendor.

However, the peddler is obviously not so easy to fool, knowing the origin of the inkstone, he refuses to lower the price.

Several people followed the hawker for more than half an hour, and finally couldn't cut the price, so Liu Pengcheng had no choice but to pay for the inkstone.

The price of the inkstone is a little more expensive, but it is still two or three percent cheaper than the regular Four Treasures of the Study, and the inkstone is better than being preserved intact, and it has Huo Sining's palm, it will definitely not be a fake, Liu Pengcheng feels that it is still cheap, and things can be handled.

Two days later, the mid-term competition of the treasure appreciation meeting was ushered in.

Because a group of people had already been hung up during the primary election, there were not many people who entered the mid-term competition.

Like last time, this time the competition is also based on the test number, but this time the assessment will definitely be much more difficult than the first time, Huo Sining is also a little uncertain, I don't know if this competition will be as smooth as last time.

Huo Sining entered the examination venue alone, and when his eyes swept over, he saw that there were already many people sitting in the hall waiting.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the venue, she ran into a character she hated, Ma Liwen, an expert in ancient calligraphy and painting in the Forbidden City.

Ma Liwen obviously recognized Huo Sining, and when he saw Huo Sining entering, his eyes showed disdain, and he snorted coldly at Huo Sining.

Huo Sining didn't have much of a good impression of Ma Liwen, the first time he was in Diecui Garden, because of the "Li Duanduan Picture" that Old Man Wu took out, Ma Liwen bet with her and lost 500,000 yuan.

I don't know how to deal with the money in the end, but the money must have been paid to Wu Lao, what is going on, Huo Sining didn't ask, I think the process of chasing bets will not be very pleasant.

Later, in the ancient tomb of Taicheng, Huo Sining and Ma Liwen clashed again, this person also wanted to make a big deal about the secret color porcelain almost broken, trying to ruin Huo Sining's future, if it wasn't for the final discovery that the person who made the stumbling block was Feng Yang, I am afraid that Huo Sining would be insulated from the antique appraisal door.

After these two incidents, Huo Sining's impression of this Ma Liwen completely fell to the bottom.

Domestic experts have been ruined by these rat feces, and now as long as experts are mentioned, everyone thinks of words like "brick family" and "called beasts", lacking respect, and more questioning and contempt.

The public lacks the most basic trust in what experts say, and the crisis of integrity is a major problem for domestic authorities.

Ma Liwen's master Jia Bingrong Jia Lao's character is naturally speechless, and his status is almost equal to Zhou Shitao, but no matter how high his reputation is, he can't bear to have an apprentice with bad conduct.

Jia Bingrong has often been criticized in recent years, and he wants to be inseparable from Ma Liwen, and if this trend continues, Huo Sining estimates that the master and apprentice will tear their faces sooner or later.

Huo Sining didn't bother to deal with Ma Liwen, and after entering the venue, she directly found a corner and sat down.

Although she has tried her best to hide her figure and keep a low profile, she is a young woman, and she is too conspicuous in this examination room where middle-aged appraisers are gathered.

From the moment Huo Sining walked into the venue, everyone's eyes were focused on her god, until she sat in the corner, and there were still people looking her up and down, and even many people whispered, and the topic was obviously her identity.

After all the participants in the assessment entered the venue, the general person in charge of the treasure appraisal conference, the director of the Palace Museum, made a small opening remarks, expressing the meaning of nothing more than to promote the friendly relationship between appraisers in various places, exchange and learning, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses through this treasure appraisal meeting.

I don't know how many official speeches you have heard, but they are basically left ear in and right ear out.

What kind of friendly exchanges, the focus of everyone's attention is not on this at all, but how to assess this mid-term competition.

The director of the Forbidden City also seemed to know that everyone's minds were not on his speech, so he said a few perfunctory words and went down.

In anticipation of everyone, the staff of the appraisal conference came up with two large wooden boxes with seals and placed them on two large tables prepared in the center of the venue.

Then he took two pieces of black flannel to cover the wooden box.

The flannel was so large that it covered the box completely.

Seeing such a scene, everyone guessed in their hearts that most of the things in this wooden box were the antiques used in this assessment, but they didn't know what kind of famous hall they were going to play in this assessment.

Seven invigilators came up to the podium of the venue, and Huo Sining was surprised to see those examiners.

This time, the examiners were replaced, and to Huo Sining's surprise, three of the seven examiners this time were known to her! Cai Limin, Shi Qingyun and Xu Shilong were all people Huo Sining was very familiar with.

The expression on Huo Sining's face changed slightly, but then she figured it out.

Since this appraisal meeting is jointly organized by the China Jade Association and the Forbidden City, it is of course normal for the vice president and the experts of the Forbidden City to be examiners.

After the wooden box was brought up, the examiners did not speak, and only after everything was prepared did Shi Qingyun, the most central examiner, stand up and speak:

"All of you here are elite appraisers selected from all over the country, and each of them has their own strengths, but this time we are going to select people who will participate in the International Treasure Appraisal Conference to have an exchange of appraisers between the East and the West. Antiques have no borders, whether they are Eastern or Western antiques, they are all treasures left by their predecessors. Whether or not these treasures can be identified is the responsibility and obligation of the appraisers. (To be continued.) )
