Chapter 145: The Problem (Plus + Cartoon Singer)
"Miss Gu, thank you so much today." On the way back, Yan Ling was obviously a lot more relaxed, and actually took the initiative to talk to Gu Ming.
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of looking at things." Gu Ming didn't care much about it.
Qin Sheng explained that he asked Yan Ling to send her to the hotel first, and then left with Xiao Zhang and the others, Gu Ming didn't know what Qin Sheng was going to do, but looking at their appearance, this matter must be very important.
"How long have Miss Gu and Qin Sheng known each other?" Yan Ling continued to ask.
"It's not too long." Gu Ming replied briefly.
For some reason, she felt a little panicked in her heart, and she was also a little absent-minded in the face of Yan Ling's questioning.
Yan Ling saw that something was wrong with Gu Ming through the rearview mirror, smiled hehe, and said to Gu Ming: "You don't have to worry about Qin Sheng, he will be back soon, and he will definitely not miss your tomorrow." ”
"Do you know what we're going to do tomorrow?" Gu Ming asked curiously.
"Qin Sheng mentioned it to me." Yan Ling nodded, and continued: "What does Qin Sheng really do, if it was before, how could I believe that he would actually get this antique thing, but he liked these things before, and this is not too surprising." ”
Gu Ming's heart moved, judging from Yan Ling's words, this Qin Sheng didn't seem to be in the antique business before.
Yan Ling also seemed to realize that he was talking too much, so he casually talked nonsense, then closed his mouth and concentrated on driving.
What does it mean to be in moderation Gu Ming knows, if she doesn't say it, she naturally won't ask, if Qin Sheng is willing to say it one day, she can listen to it. If people don't want to say it, it's someone else's privacy, and there's no need for her to inquire.
It was already very late when she returned to the hotel, Gu Ming looked at the time, it was about to be 4 o'clock in the morning, thinking that she had to gather at 9 o'clock in the morning, so she walked back to the room quickly, washed up casually and went to bed, when she was about to fall asleep, she was still thinking, I don't know if Qin Sheng came back.
"Gu Ming. Nervous last night? When gathering the next day, Professor Wang looked at the two big dark circles hanging under Gu Ming's eyes and couldn't help asking.
"Nope!" Gu Ming shook her head, she didn't feel nervous about the competition at all.
"Look at your dark circles, and you still say no?" Professor Wang smiled and shook his head. "The first time it was always like this, and I think the first time I encountered something like this, I was also excited and didn't fall asleep all night. You can see later, there must be a lot of people with dark circles on their faces like you. ”
Misunderstanding of Professor Wang. Gu Ming couldn't explain more, so she could only echo: "Then I really have to take a good look." ”
When Gu Ming was talking to Professor Wang, Wang Juan also came, and Gu Ming looked at Wang Juan's face. Sure enough, I found that there were two big dark circles under the other party's eyes, which was really gratifying.
Professor He saw Wang Juan like this. also said a few words of concern, but Wang Juan may not have slept well, and she was not energetic when she answered.
"By the way, what about Qin Sheng?" Professor Wang's gaze turned around, but he didn't see Qin Sheng's figure, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Gu Ming paused, and then said, "Maybe I was stumped by something, and I should come over after a while." ”
"Well, if he hasn't come in a while. Just call and ask. Professor Wang admonished.
"Yes." Gu Ming nodded.
In fact, when she went out in the morning, she went to Qin Sheng's room and knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door, and it seemed that Qin Sheng didn't come back at all last night. She has also called the other party, and the phone has been in a state of unreachable.
The start time of the game is 10 a.m. I hope Qin Sheng can rush back at that time.
At half past nine, everyone gathered at the competition venue, and the organizer began to arrange for everyone to draw numbers. Qin Sheng hadn't come back yet, so Gu Ming went to draw the number by herself, they were No. 8, and Xia Jun and Wang Juan were No. 5.
There are a total of 8 teams that signed up this time, and Gu Ming drew the last number, and I don't know if this is lucky or not.
However, there were only 8 teams in total, which was unexpected by Gu Ming, she originally thought that there would be at least a dozen teams, but it seemed that she had made a mistake in her estimation.
"Gu Ming, why hasn't Qin Sheng come yet?" Professor Wang frowned tightly, and Professor Guan on the side was also a little worried.
"I don't know, it's going to be a while, it should be almost there." Gu Ming looked at the time, and there was some irritability in her heart.
Professor Wang originally wanted to go to Mr. Qiao to ask about the situation, but he didn't see Mr. Qiao after looking around, so he had to discuss with Gu Ming in the end, if Qin Sheng hadn't arrived by the time, he would simply let Professor Guan's assistant join her team, so as not to directly abstain from voting.
It's a pity that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Professor Wang's proposal was opposed by the organizers, they are not allowed to make temporary substitutions, if Qin Sheng still does not come by the time the game starts, then they can only sentence Gu Ming to abstain.
This made Professor Wang anxious, and kept calling Qin Sheng's phone.
There were still five minutes left before the start of the game, and Wang Juan also knew the news that Qin Sheng had not yet arrived, so she walked to Gu Ming's side pretendedly, and said with a worried look: "Gu Ming, what can I do about this, this opportunity is rare, it would be a pity if I abstained." If you really want to abstain, it's better not to sign up in the first place, and abstain in front of so many people, tsk......"
"Are you done?" Gu Ming glanced at Wang Juan, only to feel that this person was like a nasty fly, buzzing and annoying.
The game was about to start, and the irritability in Gu Ming's heart not only did not increase, but became a lot less. It's just a competition, there will be opportunities in the future, if Qin Sheng can't come today, then there's nothing to be afraid of, just watch it as an audience.
But whoever wins the first place is fine, as long as it's not Xia Jun and Wang Juan!
"Ouch, the game is about to start, no, I won't tell you more, there will be opportunities in the future, you can relax." Wang Juan didn't get angry because of Gu Ming's attitude, she was happy because Gu Ming couldn't participate in the competition.
Although she is confident that she can win against Gu Ming, a little girl, in the competition, it is always good to have one less competitor. What's more, if such a humiliating thing as abstention happened to Gu Ming, she would be even happier.
"Miss, are you going to abstain?" The last roll call, the organizer found that there was one person missing from Gu Ming's side, so he asked out loud.
"We ......" Gu Ming was about to say to abstain, but was interrupted.
"We don't abstain!" I don't know when, Qin Sheng came behind Gu Ming.
When Gu Ming heard Qin Sheng's voice, she turned her head and looked at the other party.
I saw that Qin Sheng had changed into a completely different set of clothes from yesterday, and there was still a faint dripping of water at the tips of his hair. Seems to have just come out of a shower.
The people from the organizer confirmed Qin Sheng's identity, and then they stopped mentioning the abstention, and turned around to prepare for something else.
"You're back." Gu Ming's eyes revealed surprise, she had already planned to give up, but she didn't expect Qin Sheng to rush back at the last moment.
"I'm sorry. Something happened and the phone broke. Qin Sheng said to Gu Ming slightly apologetically.
"It's okay, it's good that you're here." Gu Ming said with a smile.
At this time. In the audience, Robert and Tang Ming had already arrived, and Tang Ming was relieved when he heard the organizer announce the names of the contestants in this competition.
"This Qin Sheng is also really. I don't know where I went, but I just came here. Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Leaning back slightly, he leaned back in his chair.
"You're nervous?" Robert glanced at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming snapped his fingers and said without hesitation: "I'm really nervous, you must know that I deliberately seized the time to deal with domestic affairs and flew to watch the game, if Gu Ming and Qin Sheng abstained, wouldn't my trip be in vain?" ”
"Hopefully the two of them won't let you down." Robert whispered.
"Robert, I believe in my own vision, even if you don't want to admit it, you have to say that sometimes I have a better intuition than you are." Tang Ming smiled lazily.
"Well, hopefully your instincts will always be accurate." Robert glanced at Tang Ming and said no more. Instead, he turned his attention to the field of the game.
Tang Ming shrugged his shoulders and leaned slightly in Robert's direction: "You're not in a hurry?" I've heard that Bill was booked by your rival. ”
"I can't run away if it's mine, it's not mine. As long as I want, it won't run away. Robert replied lightly.
Tang Ming couldn't help but give Robert a thumbs up: "Sure enough." I didn't misread you. ”
Robert smiled noncommittally.
Because the number of participants this time was not large, everyone did it together, and the middle part of the venue had already been cleared out and eight large tables were set up.
There were a lot of things on the table, and when Gu Ming secretly guessed the intention of this, he glanced towards the referee's seat, and found that Xue Lao was sitting in the middle, talking in a low voice with a foreigner beside him.
In order to reflect the fairness reason, the first item of the competition was actually a written test, and each team was given a test paper, both in Chinese and English, for everyone to answer.
When Gu Ming saw this test paper, he immediately felt a headache, the test paper is not difficult, there are only 20 questions in total, and all of them are multiple-choice questions, but the content of this question is complicated, there are questions about Chinese and Western cultural relics, and the historical background is all there, it can be said that it is all-encompassing and complex.
What's even more headache is that this multiple-choice question, if you answer correctly, you will get less points, and if you answer wrong, you will be deducted double points, so if you want to choose one of the four to hit the luck, you have to be careful, one is not careful, it is very likely to be made a negative score.
In fact, it's not just Gu Ming who feels a headache, but none of the other people are better, most of them are either familiar with Eastern culture or Western culture, and both China and the West have studied the minority.
Gu Ming had discussed with Professor Wang what might be contested before, but neither of them expected that there would be a written test in the first one.
"Qin Sheng, do you know much about Western antiques or something?" Gu Ming looked at the test paper in his hand and asked Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng first nodded, then shook his head, and said to Gu Ming: "I may know more about the actual appraisal, theoretical things, this depends on luck." ”
"I am more practical than ......theoretical about Western antiques," Gu Ming felt a little weak.
She is indeed more practical than theoretical, and if you come out with something and let her tell the truth from the fake. With her left hand, there is absolutely no problem, but if you ask her to say one, two, three, she will know it, but she will not know......
Seeing this first competition, the first reaction in the minds of many participants was that they would have known that they would come to a team with Chinese and Western combinations!
It's a pity that 7 of the 8 teams present are Chinese and Western, and only one team is one Chinese and Western for some reason. I looked at you, and then buried my head in answers.
Gu Ming first focused on the topic of oriental antiques, her basic skills are relatively solid, and Professor Wang's small stove is not in vain, at least eight of the ten questions can determine the answer. The remaining two are a bit wobbly.
Otherwise, she naturally had to discuss the two questions with Qin Sheng, and finally decided on the final answer after reaching a consensus with Qin Sheng.
It's time for the question of Western antiques. Gu Ming and Qin Sheng glanced at each other, both of them were slightly frustrated, Gu Ming confirmed the answers to the two questions, and Qin Sheng also determined the answers to the two questions. The remaining six questions, both of them are a little unsure.
After all, this stipulates that incorrect answers will be deducted points. The two of them didn't dare to guess casually.
"If it's really uncertain, I think it's better not to answer, we can get back the lost points in the practice link, I don't believe that the competition appraisal will always give us a test of theoretical knowledge." Gu Ming thought about it, and after making up her mind, she said to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng's thoughts were the same as Gu Ming's, instead of risking with uncertain answers, it was better to come steadily.
The two of them reached a consensus again, so they put aside the questions they were not sure about, and carefully checked the questions that they had already answered.
This is a on-the-spot marking system, and when the time is up, a special person will collect the test papers.
No surprises. The team with a mix of East and West scored the highest score and got only 2 questions wrong, scoring 18 points. Gu Ming and the others answered correctly, and if they didn't write it, they didn't score anything. A total of 14 points were scored.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jun and Wang Juan really had two brushes. Got 4 questions wrong and scored 16 points, and Bill, the favorite in this competition? The Greens got three questions wrong and scored 17 points.
The other two teams had the same score as Gu Ming, and once they were ranked down, Xia Jun and Wang Juan were third, Gu Ming and Qin Sheng and the other two teams were tied for fourth, and the rest were in the back row.
For such a result, Gu Ming and Qin Sheng were both satisfied, after all, they were not deducted points upside down, and the team that ranked last only had 10 points, that is, they were deducted points for incorrect answers.
Therefore, it is also beneficial for two people to team up, if Gu Ming answers these questions alone, I don't know how many points I can get.
Professor Wang, who was sitting in the audience, obviously sweated for Gu Ming, and he knew best the students he taught, and he still knew how much ink Gu Ming had in his stomach, not to mention the eastern ones, and the western ones...... Ahem, he's not too proficient as a teacher.
After the scores were out, the referee also gave the correct answer and gave a brief explanation to enhance the knowledge of the participants.
There was no time for everyone to take a break in this competition, and after the first event was over, it was immediately moved on to the second event.
To Gu Ming's delight, the second item is not to test theoretical knowledge, but to start physical identification.
The 8 teams of participants went to the table belonging to their own team according to their own numbers, and then the organizer arranged a lottery to draw the numbers of the things that need to be identified.
This time it was Gu Ming who drew the number, this time Gu Ming drew the number 6, and someone immediately carried the box marked with the number 6 over and carefully put it on the table.
The rules of this round are still the same tricky, the things in this box are true and false, and all the participating teams will pick out the real things, and the wrong ones and omissions will be deducted points, and the same as the written test, double the score will be deducted if the wrong one is picked, and only the normal score will be deducted if it is missed.
Hearing such a rule, Gu Ming immediately felt relaxed and happy, this second competition was completely as if it was tailor-made for her, and there was no difficulty for her at all.
There are a total of eight items in box No. 6, including porcelain, jade, gold and silverware, miscellaneous items, etc., and the same East and West things are divided half.
"Here's your specialty." Qin Sheng also said with a slight ease.
"We're on the same team, you can't be lazy, you choose one from the East and the West, and we'll exchange after reading it." Gu Ming took a look. The time given by this project is relatively abundant, and she doesn't need to rush.
Qin Sheng shook his head and replied, "Don't be so troublesome, let's watch it together, and if you have different opinions, let's just talk about it." ”
Since Qin Sheng insisted, Gu Ming was not reluctant.
Out of habit, the first thing she looks at is naturally oriental objects.
The so-called Oriental objects are not only Chinese antiques, there are so many countries in the East, and there are many types of antiques, and the first porcelain Gu Ming saw was a single-glazed porcelain bowl of the Li Dynasty in H country. This kind of porcelain bowl has a gap with China to a large extent, especially in the Qing Dynasty, China's porcelain development is the best, producing many exquisite porcelain, which is greatly liked by the East and the West.
Some things are different, though. The price of this thing is different, in country R, the porcelain of the stick is more expensive than the same type of Chinese porcelain. A big reason is because Chinese porcelain is too famous, and there are many fakes, and when buying porcelain, it is fake, so some places prefer to like things with a small range. I am also reluctant to buy something that is easy to be scammed.
The single-glazed porcelain bowl in front of me has been touched by the left hand. It can be concluded that it is genuine, and after the left hand touches it, there will be heat, and there will be joy in the heart, but unlike the crisp and pleasant porcelain collision sound that Gu Ming will hear after touching the real porcelain, the sound of this porcelain bowl is not so crisp, and the repetition of the sound is also slow.
Hearing such a voice, I don't know why Gu Ming suddenly remembered the dance of country H, the dance is fast and slow, but she thinks that the slow dance of country H is better than the fast dance.
After confirming that the porcelain bowl was genuine, Gu Ming took the porcelain bowl aside. Then continue to look down, the second piece is also porcelain, but this seems to be a small porcelain vase from the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that Gu Ming's left hand didn't come at all after touching it, this thing is a fake.
This thing is an imitation of the pastel of the Qianlong period. It is difficult to distinguish between pastel and enamel, and the peony pattern depicted on this small porcelain vase.
The peony is regarded as a symbol of wealth and glory, and its prototype is often depicted on various objects by craftsmen. Gu Ming observed carefully, not to mention anything else, this flat-bottomed payment is not quite right, and although the peony on this bottle looks very luxurious and beautiful, but if you look carefully, the subtleties are different, it is not like it is done in one go, but it seems that someone carefully traced it.
The next one is a very common flower and bird-shaped jade pendant, and the other is a Maitreya Buddha bamboo carving.
The flower-and-bird-shaped jade pendant in these two things is a modern imitation, while the Luohan bamboo carving is genuine. After touching the Arhat bamboo carving with his left hand, while Gu Ming's hand was hot, joy rose in his heart, and the heartfelt laughter of Maitreya Buddha sounded, which echoed the appearance of this bamboo carving, Maitreya Buddha grinned, with a big belly, and seemed to be very happy.
After reading the four things that belong to the East, two are true and two are false, Gu Ming shifted his attention to the things in the West.
Westerners' antiques are mainly gold and silver and antique furniture, because furniture and other things are not easy to move in the world, so the unified Western cultural relics gold and silver ware that everyone identified this time accounted for the majority.
Gu Ming of others didn't care, the four things they drew were two pieces of gold and two pieces of silver.
Gu Ming really doesn't know much about Western antiques, and Uncle Huang helped him see the gem cigarette box last time, so she didn't think about it so much this time, and directly touched it.
After touching them one by one, Gu Ming felt that this organizer was quite interesting, none of the four things could make her left hand warm, all of them were fakes.
Judging from the appearance alone, if Gu Ming didn't have the super cheat of her left hand, she would definitely think that the silver carriage was genuine.
This carriage is missing a wheel, although it looks a little flawed, but it is also very gratifying, and its style used to be very similar to a Russian carriage that Gu Ming saw in the museum, the carriage is exquisitely made, and the horses pulled are also vivid, and the proportion of the horse's body and limbs is basically perfect.
Obviously, Qin Sheng was the kind of person who had been deceived by this carriage, and when he saw Gu Ming classify the carriage as a fake, although he did not raise any objections, he also expressed his doubts about it.
