The next auction bidding was much more fierce than before, more than 30 items were auctioned for nearly 100,000 taels of silver, among which the golden Buddha of Xingzhi Academy was auctioned at a high price of 6,2800 taels, of course, even if this golden Buddha is not a craft, but the gold is worth nearly 6,000 taels. A coral in Guozijian was auctioned for 5,400 taels, which made several other academies feel a little uneasy, because this coral was only selected by Guozijian, so the value of the other lots can be imagined.

Among the more than 30 items, there are as many as six fakes, namely Wang Xizhi's "Sunny Post in the Fast Snow" of Xingzhi Academy, Song Ruyao Brush Wash of Guozijian, Tang Sancai of Shidong Academy, "Cursive Han Hao Seven Absolute Banners" and "Tang and Song Dynasty Poetry Scrolls" by Song Ke, one of the three Song Dynasty of the early Ming Dynasty of Hengyang Academy, and a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending picture jar from the First Academy.

Among several fakes, Wang Xizhi's "Fast Snow Sunny Post" of Xingzhi Academy is the most controversial, and the Hanlin Emperor Shiqian, who is responsible for the identification, cannot distinguish the authenticity of this sticker, so he took the initiative to call the gentlemen in charge of the appraisal of several academies to appreciate it together, and several people argued for a long time and still couldn't get a result, so they asked Xingzhi Academy about the origin of this post to identify.

The donor is Jin Zhengjie, a student of the mathematics department of Xingzhi Academy, this person is the only son of the shopkeeper of the Sifang pawnshop, and this "Fast Snow Time Clear Post" is the death of a strangely dressed person two years ago, the original shopkeeper of the Sifang pawnshop will be this "Fast Snow Time Clear Post" as the treasure of the town store, but then within two months, the four pawnshops in Liuli Lane have received a pair of "Fast Snow Time Clear Post" dead pawn goods, and none of the four pawnshops can find out the flaw when they are identified together. Later, the matter was settled, and the Sifang pawnshop was donated by Kim Jong-jel.

The final appraisal result is a facsimile, but several gentlemen can not see the copying period, the value of the proposed value to the value of the Song facsimile, the owner set the reserve price is not high only 1,000 taels, than the value of the Song facsimile is half lower, and finally by a rich gentleman for 2,800 taels, if not heard that there are three other facsimiles, the price of this "fast snow when the clear post" may have to be doubled.

As for the other fakes, two of Song Ke's cursive scripts were auctioned at the reserve price by Mr. Xingzhi of Xingzhi Academy and Feng Shiqiu of Youlu Academy respectively because of their low reserve prices, and the others were sold off at the owner's reserve price.

The first part of the auction lasted for nearly two hours, and after the last item was auctioned, Yang Jing and Shi Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Jing announced that the second part of the auction would start after a quarter of an hour's rest.

The second part of the auction is a rotating auction, with each college offering one item first, and then taking turns to auction the second and third items after the six colleges have finished the auction in turn.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Jing and Shi Qian returned to the auction table, and this part was the highlight of today's auction. At this time, each academy had already presented the first items to be auctioned and placed them on the table in turn, and each lot was covered with red silk.

"The first lot in the second session of today's fundraising auction is the dragon tail inkstone of Master Ye Jiu's work provided by Guozijian, please ask Lord Shi to appraise it." Yang Jing opened the first piece of red silk on the left-hand side.

Shi Qian first bent down and looked carefully, then carefully picked up the inkstone on the desk with both hands and turned it over to look at the bottom, then looked at the light, and quickly determined the authenticity, "This inkstone is of excellent quality, moist and fine, tender and firm, moist and smooth, caress it like skin, grinds it like a front, buckles it with sound, is suitable for ink, it is indeed Longwei Mountain Longwei inkstone, look at the carving for the Yongle period by the famous inkstone Ye Xuan carving, the inkstone body is densely covered with granularity, the light can be seen that the inkstone body is flashing bright, and the texture is brilliant, the color is like the blue sky, and the bottom of the inkstone has the inscription of Yangming Gong, It is really a fine inkstone, with a reserve price of 6,000 taels. After saying that, Shi Qian put the inkstone back on the desk.

Yang Jing continued, "The Hetuan Longwei Yan side, the reserve price is six thousand taels, and the minimum price increase is ten taels of silver each time, and the auction starts now." ”

Yang Jing's voice fell, and a tall and thin middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "Six thousand and ten taels." ”

The other person immediately raised his hand and said, "Six thousand and twenty taels." ”

"Six thousand and thirty taels."

……

The people who started bidding were very restrained, and after a few times, they began to add one hundred and one hundred taels, and finally the price of the dragon tail inkstone of Guozijian was fixed at eight thousand one hundred taels, and it was auctioned away by the first bidder who did the business of the four treasures of the study.

Yang Jing opened the second piece of red sermon and said, "The second lot is a knife provided by Xingzhi Academy, and after the appraisal of several gentlemen of Xingzhi Academy, it was only concluded that this knife was a weapon of the Warring States Period, and the specific source has not yet been known, and I also ask Lord Shi for advice." ”

Shi Qian picked up the handle of the knife with his right hand, it was slightly cool in his hand, and his left hand lightly supported the knife surface, which was close, and he only felt the cold air pressing. The blade is dark and crystalline, and it should be made of legendary meteorite. The blade resembles a crescent moon, only in the middle of the back of the knife there is a ridge-like protrusion, and there is no ornamentation at the jaw, which seems to be the original appearance of meteoric iron, like mountains and mountains. The tip of the knife is engraved with some strange lines, like a yin carved brocade text and like a cloud pattern.

Shi Qian didn't dare to be sure for the time being, because this was a rumored blade, and there were many imitations in later generations, but many imitated its shape and did not know its god, he plucked two hairs and put them on the blade, and blew lightly, and the hair was quietly broken at the moment when it touched the blade.

At this time, Shi Jian already had some affirmation in his heart, but he still had to make a final confirmation.

Everyone saw Shi Qian rushing out with a knife, and the people blocking the door hurriedly hid to the side when they saw Shi Qian rushing with a knife, although the auction hall was crowded, Shi Qian came to the door very easily. At this time, it was already past the unitary time, the sky was dark, the moon had risen, Shi Qian held a knife in his hand, the tip of the knife pointed to the moon, and he saw a cluster of crystal light gathered on the tip of the knife, flickering and extinguishing.

The people who came out after following Shi Qian were all surprised to see this scene. At this time, Shi Qian could finally confirm that this knife was the legendary Cold Moon Blade. Because the unique ornamentation of the tip of the knife has only appeared twice in the history of weapons, the light of the sun and the moon can be gathered at the tip of the blade, one is the Dingguang Sword, one of the ten famous swords, and the other is the cold moon blade of the current Warring States Lady Xu.

Shi Qian returned to the auction table with the knife, put the knife back on the table and said, "This knife is called the Cold Moon Blade, which was cast by Mrs. Xu of the Warring States Period, and after identification, it is indeed genuine, with a reserve price of 15,000 taels." After speaking, Shi Qian stepped aside and said no more.

Yang Jing stood in front of the stage and answered, "Xingzhi Academy's Cold Moon Blade, the reserve price is fifteen thousand taels, and the price will be increased by fifty taels each time, and the auction will start now." ”

The audience was a little quiet, the literati and military generals used swords more, and the warriors of the Ming Dynasty used knives that were somewhat similar to Tang knives, like embroidered spring knives, and merchants who did antique business could take out 15,000 taels of silver for a while to shoot an ancient knife that they didn't know how long it would take to sell, but they didn't know that the value of this knife was far more than that, and Shi Qian's price was very conservative. What's more, Shi Qian's introduction is not very detailed, many people don't know the story of this knife, only a few scholars who went out with Shi Qian have seen the charm of this knife, and Zhu Ying'an is one of those scholars.

After a long time, there was still no bidding, and the rules of this second auction were different from the first, because it was the reserve price set by Shi Qian according to the value, if it was unsuccessful, this one would be considered one less lot in Xingzhi Academy, and basically there was no chance of winning this auction.

Just as Yang Jing was about to announce the unsuccessful auction, Zhu Yingan raised his hand, "Fifteen thousand taels." "Zhu Ying'an is a student of Shidong Academy, and the reason why he bids for the auction is only because when he sees the brilliance of this knife, he feels that this knife is not simple, although he doesn't know how to use a knife, but it is also very good to watch it.

"Yo, Brother Zhu, are you preparing to practice martial arts? After slapping this knife and growing some beard, it is indeed much more powerful than the current look, you have to think clearly, this is the silver you have to visit the building for a year. Fang Shihong teased that he was a student of Guozijian, and he suffered in Xingzhi Academy, and he was naturally happy to see Xingzhi Academy lose.

"Look at your appearance that you haven't seen the world, this little master still can't look down on it. Is there anything else to shoot? No one took this knife, so the master accepted it. Zhu Ying'an shot back.

Sure enough, no one bid, and the Cold Moon Blade was pocketed by Zhu Ying'an. In fact, if he didn't shoot Mr. Xingzhi, he would have taken it, after all, fifteen thousand taels is still a lot worse than fifty thousand taels, not to mention that if Xingzhi Academy withdrew from the competition in the first game, it would really damage the reputation of the academy.

"The third piece, the white porcelain plum vase carved by the Song Ding kiln of the Stone Cave Academy." Yang Jing uncovered the third piece of red silk and gave up his position to Shi Qian.

After seeing the Cold Moon Blade, Shi Qian's interest in other objects was much less, if it weren't for the fact that he was just a small official from the ninth rank and didn't have much money, he would definitely shoot the Cold Moon Blade.

"The white porcelain plum vase of the Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln, glazed lotus flower, good quality, genuine. The reserve price is 5,500 taels. Shi Qian picked it up and looked at it and put it back, a little excited.

Antique dealers have always been the most enthusiastic about porcelain, and in the end, this plum vase was sold for a high price of 8,800 taels.

Next, Tang Yin's "Thatched House Wind Clear Map" of Youlu Academy was identified as genuine, with a reserve price of 3,000 taels and a transaction price of 3,800 taels.

Hengyang Academy's Song book "Taiping Guangji" rare book, the whole book 500 volumes, 10 volumes of catalog, based on the Han Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty wild history novels and interpretations, Taoist classics and novelist-based miscellaneous works and other more than 400 kinds, the reserve price of 7,000 taels, the transaction price of 9,600 taels, auctioned by the Beijing Guangbao Bookstore.

"The last lot in this round of auction is the Book of Honors and Honors from the First Academy, please take a look at it."

Shi Qian took a look and saw the problem, "Fake, the reserve price is two taels of silver." ”

Wang Huixi, the head of the first college, was very surprised, because he and the other gentleman in charge of connoisseurship of the first college did not see any problem at all, "I applied for a re-appraisal. ”

"No need, in order to save time, I'll help you solve your doubts directly, "Jing Zhai Zhen Book" is one of the three Song Dynasty and two Shen Shen in the early Ming Dynasty, Shen Du Xiaokai's works, which belong to typical Taige works, and "Jing Zhai Zhen Book" represents the highest level of Tai Ge style. Its pen strength is strong, the style is superb, its strokes are thick and not heavy, fine and not light, its layout law exists, the rules are in order, the ranks are neat, and the style shows the kind of graceful and elegant, graceful and elegant, not agitated and not aggressive, quite the style of Confucianism. And this fake has no flaws in terms of ink, paper, old, style, strokes, and layout, which is similar to the previous "Sunny Post when the Snow is Fast", but the only flaw is one point, please see. Shi Qian picked up the work and pointed to one of the places and said, "As we all know, the Book of Jing Zhai was written by Shen Du in the sixteenth year of Yongle, but it is written here in the nineteenth year of Yongle. Shi Qian took the "Book of Honoring Fast" and showed it to everyone.

In this way, there is no need to appraise again, and even people who do not know how to appreciate know that this lot can no longer be fake.

Since it is a fake, the reserve price is only two taels of silver, and no one will be interested in this lot at this important time, so although it is only two taels of silver, it is still a failed auction.

At the end of the first round of auctions, Guozijian sold for 8,100 taels, Xingzhi Academy sold for 15,000 taels, Shidong Academy sold for 8,800 taels, Youlu Academy sold for 3,800 taels, Hengyang Academy sold for 9,600 taels, and the first academy was unsold.
