Time passed minute by minute, all the candidates gathered drops of sweat on their foreheads, everyone studied hard for several years, and no one wanted to be eliminated in the final third level, otherwise the exam would have to go through a long wait of half a year.

Although Zhao Zhuo seemed very calm, he was worried about Xu Lang in his heart, and he couldn't help but sweat for him when he looked at a coin for two minutes to distinguish.

Eight minutes passed quickly, and although someone had already screened it, they picked it up again and reconfirmed it.

Seeing that time is running out, Xu Lang picked out only 12 ancient coins, although the truth is correct, but there are still three that have not been picked, if it is according to his speed, it will definitely not be able to pass.

Zhao Zhuo frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled, he had already thought of a way to help Xu Lang pass the test, and then he seriously threw the ancient money in the box into the black and white box.

Yu Weiyang saw this action in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, only now did he remember to pick out the ancient money, it was completely nonsense, if he could get by like this, there would be appraisers all over the place.

At this time, the time was only a few seconds away from 10 minutes, Xu Lang sighed, and he could also gamble on his luck, and put the remaining three coins in two boxes.

When Professor Luo shouted to stop, Mo Ling, who was guarding the side, quietly exchanged the two that he had thrown wrong into the box of the real thing, and then returned to Zhao Zhuo's side lightly.

All numbered boxes are placed in front of the examiner, and the ancient money in each box's box has been checked by the staff before it is distributed, and the examiner only needs to compare the records to know whether the candidate has passed the test.

As the sounds of "passing" and "not passing" sounded, some people were sad and some were excited, Xu Lang also passed the level with the help of Mo Ling, and jumped up excitedly.

Professor Luo picked up Zhao Zhuo's box, looked at it, showed a relieved smile on his face, and said, "Zhao Zhuo, pass the test." ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Weiyang's brows couldn't help frowning, this result was something he couldn't have expected.

At this time, the audience was silent, but a candidate outside the venue suddenly said: "How can he pass the test, it only took him more than 2 minutes to distinguish the ancient money?" There must be a problem. ”

The person next to him said suspiciously: "Xiaowen, what you said is true, he really only took 2 minutes?" ”

The candidate named Xiaowen patted his chest and said: "Of course, when he first picked up the ancient money, he looked at it, smelled it, and then put it down, I looked at the watch, 2 minutes and 20 seconds, and then I didn't touch the ancient money, and when it was about to end, I moved the ancient money to two boxes." ”

Immediately, the audience exploded, and they all talked about whether Zhao Zhuo went through the back door and whether the record would be fake.

Zhao Zhuo didn't expect anyone to pay attention to him, after all, he was the most inconspicuous one among the candidates.

Seeing the chaos inside and outside the arena, Wang Lao, who had not spoken, said: "We can understand your emotions, but please believe that we will never cheat here." However, for the sake of fairness, President Yu, who is also accomplished, is asked to personally screen the ancient coins. ”

As soon as he said this, the crowd fell silent and looked with their necks raised.

Yu Weiyang took the box, picked it up one by one and looked at it, his brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, although he hadn't seen these real and fake money before, but now it seems that it is indeed very difficult for beginners, and it is really good as a prop for assessment.

In particular, there is a counterfeit coin that is so finely made that it is easy to see through the eyes.

However, this box of real money and fake money are all wrong, Yu Weiyang is also puzzled, this thing is indeed too strange, just look at it for a while, this young man can really distinguish between real and fake money?

Seeing that Yu Weiyang had not spoken, Wang Lao couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "President Yu, what is the result?" ”

Yu Weiyang had no choice but to say: "It is indeed the same as written in the record, 6 real coins and 9 fake coins, without any mistakes." ”

This said, and some candidates began to coax, all of them looked disbelieving, and several examiners also looked at each other, everyone had presided over the exam for more than ten years, and no one had ever encountered such a situation.

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Professor Luo stood up and said loudly: "I know the doubts in your hearts, so I also have a message to tell you, I believe that everyone will not have the slightest doubt about Zhao Zhuo's ability after listening to it." Speaking of this, he deliberately dragged out his voice and whetted everyone's appetite before saying, "Zhao Zhuo found a pair of money not long ago and entrusted it to Duke Auction House for auction. ”

"What?" As soon as he said this, even the collector Bi Lao, who had been closing his eyes beside him, suddenly opened his eyes, and everyone inside and outside the venue gasped, and their eyes stared at Zhao Zhuo.

What is the concept of set money, that is the highest honor of ancient money collectors, people who can collect all sets of money, that the foundation of ancient money is absolutely the pinnacle.

Yu Weiyang was also taken aback, although the teacher called him and said that Zhao Zhuo, a young man, was very capable, but he did not mention that he had collected money.

Moreover, what Professor Luo said with such an identity cannot be fake, not to mention that people even say the name of the auction house, you only need to check it to know.

If the young man in front of him really collected money, then it would be easy to understand that he could pass the third level in a short period of time.

After all, this is only a junior appraiser exam, the most important thing is to examine the basics, and you can identify the ancient money of the third level in two minutes, I am afraid that many second-level appraisers can do it, even if it is a third-level appraiser, it can be completed in four or five minutes, plus Zhao Zhuo has been a set of money and has rich practical experience, so it is not difficult to understand.

Zhao Zhuo was not surprised that Professor Luo knew about the money, it must have been Cui Shiyan who told him, so he was very clear that he was going to take the exam. Although he didn't want to be known to others, Professor Luo also revealed it for the sake of thought, and only in this way could he take his pass for granted.

At this time, someone questioned: "But Professor Luo, since he is so powerful, why does he have to delay until the end of every game before paying the money?" ”

Everyone's eyes gathered again, and the doubts continued, Professor Luo smiled slightly, pointed at Xu Lang and said: "This is because Xu Lang, who is in the same group as him, is his senior brother, in order to give this senior brother a little more chance of winning, in order to make him less pressure, so he would rather give up the excellent judgment of the examiners in this assessment book and accompany this senior brother to the end." ”

After hearing this, everyone was full of emotion, Yu Weiyang didn't expect that there would be such an inside story, and the seemingly inconspicuous image of Zhao Zhuo suddenly became taller. After all, on such an occasion, what kind of character is it to be able to think about your classmates.

Xu Lang also suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that Zhao Zhuo was so well-intentioned, he couldn't help but rush over, hugged Zhao Zhuo, gritted his teeth and said gratefully: "Senior brother, thank you!" ”

"I really want to thank me, next time I play cards, release more water." Zhao Zhuo said with a smile.

The matter came to an end, and everyone's eyes on Zhao Zhuo changed, even the examiners also had some appreciation, Yu Weiyang was also impressed by Zhao Zhuo, Ouyang Tao deserved to be a teacher, and the people recommended not only had good appraisal ability, but also had a rare character.

Next, there is the second type of calligraphy and painting identification exam, the chief examiner is Zhang Xiangdong, a national first-class calligraphy and painting appraiser and vice president of the branch.

Only Professor Luo had a relaxed smile on his face, Zhao Zhuo's skill in identifying ancient paintings he had seen with his own eyes, even if Zhang Xiangdong's question was tricky, it would definitely be able to pass.

And seeing Zhao Zhuo on the field, everyone also speculated that Zhao Zhuo's age was only 22 or 3 years old, and it was already rare to have such attainments in ancient money, and it must have taken a lot of time.

Unlike the ancient money that can be seen everywhere and has a low entry, the low price of calligraphy and painting is only a few hundred or thousand, but the high one is not a few, and this price is naturally difficult to compare with ancient money, and it is naturally much more complicated than ancient money in identification.

Before the 50s of the last century, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting was divided into three major schools, namely the "Wangqi School", the "Style Printing School" and the "Bibliographic School".

The so-called Wangqi style refers to observing the charm of calligraphy and painting, and judging the authenticity according to the style of the era and the personal style of the painter.

The so-called style of style is to judge according to the authenticity of the style and seal on the calligraphy and painting.

The so-called bibliographic school is to find the bibliographic book of the connoisseur who recorded the work according to the mark and inscription of the connoisseur on the work.

The three schools have their own strengths, and they are not close to perfection, and it is not until modern times that the three schools gradually merge to form a perfect identification method.

That is to say, in order to identify the authenticity of a painting and calligraphy, in addition to identifying the style of the era and the personal style of the work, it is also necessary to identify the style, inscription, seal, and mounting on the painting, and to dabble in the records of ancient masters who have identified and collected this painting.

However, whether it is the painting style or calligraphy seal of each author, it is very different, and even the same author is not the same when he is young and old, and the calligraphy and painting on the market are said to be fakes.

Therefore, for calligraphy and painting appraisers, the requirements for psychological quality alone are much higher.

However, although the threshold of calligraphy and painting is relatively high, but now some universities and training courses have opened appraisal courses, calligraphy and painting appraisal is naturally more popular than ancient money appraisal, so when all the candidates are listed, the number of references is actually 35, 11 more than that of ancient money.
