Chapter 30: Half a Grain Nail
"Hehe, it's really thick and heavy." I said to Professor Jiang with a smile.
"Is it true?" Yue Qianling whispered in my ear.
"What if it's real or fake, you won't buy it anyway, just take a look." I muttered quietly.
"Are you going to say it or not?" Yue Qianling grabbed my arm tightly in a hurry.
"You light, in broad daylight, pull and pull Chen's physique, not to mention whether men and women are intimate or not, you are also a person who has read books, why don't you understand this." I vigorously moved Yue Qianling's hand and said complainingly.
"Yo, now I mentioned to me that men and women are not intimate, when you ran into my bathroom, I didn't see you so righteous and awe-inspiring."
Yue Qianling poked at my sore spot, and I immediately lowered my head and said embarrassedly.
"Cutting off people's money and killing my parents, this is the rule, what do you have to force me to do."
"Then you won't say it, will you?"
I nodded firmly.
Yue Qianling didn't care about me, let go of my arm, and said to the stall owner.
"I bought this jade!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Qianling's body, and there was an uproar, 50,000 yuan is an astronomical amount, I didn't expect a girl to buy it when she opened it, I knew that Yue Qianling was not joking, 50,000 yuan is an astronomical amount for others, but it is really not a matter for her.
I hurriedly dragged Yue Qianling out, and Yue Qianling shook off my hand unrelentingly.
"I'm going to buy it, what's wrong?"
"Does this young lady like it, since Professor Jiang's estimate is 50,000, I don't want much, an object like this is definitely worth more than that." When the stall owner heard that Yue Qianling wanted to buy it, he also said calmly.
"Qianling, I know you have always liked jade, this jade is indeed a good thing, with your economic strength, it is not difficult to buy it, whether it is a collection or an investment, it is a good choice." Professor Jiang knew that Yue Qianling's family was well-off, so he smiled and nodded.
Yue Qianling twisted her head and smiled at me provocatively.
"Hey, I really bought it."
I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and gave her a blank look.
"Fake!"
The crowd that had gathered around me several times was like a lit dynamite barrel, and they exploded the pot at once, talking and talking about it, and looked at me one after another.
Professor Jiang was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Yue Qianling kept urging me to look at the jade, and hurriedly asked me.
"This jade has passed through your hand for less than half a minute, how do you know it's fake?"
Yue Qianling later told me that I don't know why, if it was usual, Professor Jiang said that this jade was real, she wouldn't think about it, but seeing that I had been silent, I was very unconfident, I said it was fake, but she was secretly happy in her heart, Professor Jiang specializes in jade identification at the Institute of Archaeology, and can be regarded as the master of jade identification, known as Jiang Yiyan!
That is to say, he only needs to look at the jade to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
Now I jumped out and said it was fake, this is clearly a challenge to authority, this scene has always been what she has been looking forward to seeing, Yue Thunder said in front of her every day that I am so good and that is good, there is nothing in heaven and earth, and now I am consumed with Jiang at a glance, just waiting to see my jokes.
"Don't say it's a fake and it's over, there has to be a reason, right?" Yue Qianling said with a smile that added fuel to the fire.
I understood the meaning of the smile on Yue Qianling's face, and weakly picked up the jade bi and walked to Professor Jiang's side.
"I'm just guessing, you have good eyesight, look here."
Professor Jiang lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked down at the place I was pointing at on the jade, his face became darker and darker, and he slapped himself in the face hard.
"Shame, shame, I actually missed this." Professor Jiang said bitterly.
Yue Qianling didn't understand why Professor Jiang was still full of confidence a moment ago, and after a little more look, it became like this.
"Professor Jiang, is this jade bi real?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.
"Hey...... I'm sorry everyone, this ...... It's fake! Professor Jiang lowered his head and said.
The stall owner finally couldn't sit still when he heard him say this, so he hurriedly stood up and said nervously.
"How...... How can it be fake, I found someone to check it, it is really genuine, I spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy it, Jiang ...... Professor Jiang, you have to make it clear to me. ”
Yue Qianling picked up the jade bi again, looked at me in surprise, and said.
"What's wrong?"
I pointed to a place on the edge of the jade bi for her to see, Yue Qianling looked down carefully for a long time before finding that there was a grain nail on the edge of the jade bi that was only half.
"The grain nail is only half...... This...... Does this have anything to do with the real or the fake? Yue Qianling still didn't quite understand.
"What's the matter?!" Professor Jiang said with a serious face. "If you have a big relationship, you won't do it, and the people who work will never make half a nail out."
"Maybe there is a deviation in the process, and you can't just rely on this conclusion to be false?" Yue Qianling still asked puzzled.
"This is a jade bi from the Song Dynasty imitating the Han Dynasty, and the craftsmanship is quite mature, so it is impossible to have such a big flaw." Professor Jiang explained earnestly.
Cold sweat broke out on the stall owner's head, his hands trembled, and he said in a panic.
"Professor Jiang, you have to look carefully, don't scare me, will it be really an error."
"There can be no error, the ancients were very rigorous in making jade, and they would not be so-so and arbitrary, like this arrangement of grain nails is very regular, according to the regular practice, the space should be calculated, what is the diameter of the jade, how many can be made, these must be done before doing it, and there will never be a phenomenon of half a piece, which is obviously a mistake caused by the lack of calculation in the production process of later generations." I saw that the stall owner was anxious, sighed and whispered to the side.
Hearing me say this, the people around them dispersed violently, without the slightest sympathy and nostalgia, this kind of thing happens every day in the ghost market, even if this jade is good-looking, as long as it is fake, it is the same as the thousands of objects in this ghost market, there is nothing attractive about it.
The stall owner sat down on the ground limply, staring at the jade bi in front of him with blank eyes, looking a little unbearable.
"It's really pitiful, it seems that he was also deceived by someone, and he bought a fake for more than 10,000 yuan, hey......" Yue Qianling said very sadly.
I lowered my head and dragged her out, and said angrily.
"Cutting off people's financial routes, killing people's parents, they have told you, there are rules to do things, but you don't say anything, what's the use of you pitying him now, if it weren't for you, would he be like this?"
"Yes...... But things are fake, and fake things can't be taken out to deceive people. Yue Qianling tilted her head and said unconvinced.
"This is a ghost market, a place to eat with your eyes, there is no forced buying and selling, and there is no bullying to dominate the market, the business is a willingness to buy and a willingness to sell, the truth of the jade is only the eyesight, the eyesight is not enough, the truth is false, the false is true, it is a common thing, and there is no one in particular."
Yue Qianling just wanted to argue, but Professor Jiang didn't know when she came over.
"This ghost market is full of devastation, the awake laugh at the drunk, the drunk laugh at the awake, the drunk laugh at the sober, the drunk have their own fun, black and white." Professor Jiang sighed and said in a low voice. "Qianling, many things are not right and wrong, truth and falsehood are so simple, Yan Hui is right, today I am the eye, but you forced Yan Hui to tell the truth in front of everyone, it really messed up the rules here."
Yue Qianling heard Professor Jiang, who is usually loyal and honest and rich in learning, say this, and bowed her head with a red face and did not speak.
"Yan Hui, when I have been in this line of appraisal all my life, I am ashamed to be called Jiang Yiyan, if it weren't for you today, my reputation would have been ruined in my own hands, and it is not as good as you after looking at it for decades, what bullshit Jiang Yi, hehe, it is still terrifying." Professor Jiang shook his head gloomily and said.
"Professor Jiang, don't say that, people are 100% accurate in jade, 100% in jade, whether you can judge the authenticity of jade is a trivial matter, with such a big title as you, you actually admit that you are eye-catching in front of so many people, you are the real Gao Feng Liangjie." I hurriedly laughed twice and said modestly.
Professor Jiang patted me on the shoulder with satisfaction and said meaningfully to Yue Qianling.
"Qianling, you may be better than me when you look at jade, but look at people, hehe, my old thing is willing to bow down, you found such a good boyfriend...... Oh, no, it should be a friend, hehe, you have a unique vision, take advantage of it, this guy is really good. ”
"Professor Jiang, anyway, you're also visiting the ghost market alone, why don't you come with us?" Yue Qianling blushed and diverted the topic.
"Hehe, of course it's good, I just don't know if I, an old man, will disturb the two of you." Professor Jiang said with a smile that he wanted to speak.
"Look at what you always say, what bother me or not, you are giving me a make-up class, my paper will definitely be published, usually others invite you to take a class but it costs real money, I didn't pick up a big bargain." Yue Qianling raised her head and said with a smile.
