As soon as Shen Ao's words fell, a sneer came from the hall, and then he saw a person slowly stand up and said, "What an arrogant boy, the contemptible person wants to see your appreciation skills." "With that, he walked over.

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Deng Wenchang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works." ”

The squire of the Ministry of Works?

This is equivalent to a high-ranking official at the level of a deputy minister, it seems that Taixue is too small to be good, and there is really no way, so the old men stood up to suppress the formation.

Does this count as bullying the small?

It's just a big bully, or a small bully!

Shen Ao arched his hand towards Deng Wenchang and said, "The student has seen Master Deng. ”

Arrogance is arrogance, respect for the elderly is a must, this is a traditional virtue; Otherwise, it will be spread outside, and it will be said that the tutor of the Prayer State Mansion is not good!

Deng Wenchang said with a tiger face: "The ceremony is exempt, you just said that there is no one who is too learned, and now the old man will compare with you, how about it?" ”

Deng Wenchang has been studying for more than 20 years, and he has already developed a calm surname, if it weren't for Shen Ao's talent, he would never have come forward!

This is related to the reputation of Taixue, although Deng Wenchang has been in the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, he was born too learned, too learned was bullied, and Deng Wenchang will also be underestimated.

Shen Ao straightened up and shook his fan and said: "Adults want to compare, where do students dare to refuse, in order to show students' respect for adults, it is better for students to let Lord Deng appreciate them first." ”

Deng Wenchang is also an excellent antique, he has played for half his life, and he has a slight reputation among his colleagues, so he has the courage to stand up, at this time, he heard Shen Ao say that he wanted to give in, and his heart suddenly became angry, does this kid look down on himself?

Hmph, good! Today, I want to see the power of this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky.

Deng Wenchang is not rolling and crawling in the officialdom, since he stands up, he naturally will not hit the muzzle of the gun in anger like a young man, and it is not his turn to do the work of landmines; Since he challenged Shen Ao, he was naturally a little sure, smiled slightly, and said with a happy look: "Shen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, but since we want to compare, why not change to a more interesting method?" ”

Deng Wenchang paused for a moment and said: "The old man happened to bring a treasure today, please Shen Gongzi take a look, if Shen Gongzi can guess its origin, the old man will admit defeat, how about it?" He put on a smiling face, but he looked very loyal.

If people don't cheat on old age, if they don't even have this bit of belly, wouldn't they live to a dog at so many years?

Deng Wenchang thought proudly in his heart: "The old man is still afraid that this kid will not enter the urn?" When the time comes, I will bring out the treasure and make sure to embarrass him. ”

Shen Ao's heart sank, this is going to play yin, smiled pleasantly, and in a blink of an eye, he also became very loyal, and said very enthusiastically: "I don't know what kind of treasure the adults brought?" ”

The spectators saw Deng Wenchang's face determined, many people were secretly worried about Shen Ao, and there were also some people who had something to do with Taixue, but they were happy in their hearts, and they wanted to see what the treasure Deng Wenchang said was.

Deng Wenchang pulled it into his sleeve slowly, took out a piece of jade, and said with a slight smile: "Please Shen Gongzi to taste it." ”

When everyone saw it, they suddenly shouted in their hearts that Lord Deng really lived up to the name of insidiousness, wow, it's so shameless!

But Lord Deng also has a powerful brain, and he can come up with such a nasty method!

It turned out that what Deng Wenchang took out was an inconspicuous peiyu, the reason why this peiyu is different is that it is inconspicuous, and this peiyu doesn't know which thing without an asshole was dug from the grave, so it was transferred to Deng Wenchang's hands; The whole piece of jade, because it is buried in the ground all the year round, is eroded by the soil, with a variety of colors, the color is dull, if you don't look closely, I am afraid that many people still think it is just an ordinary stone.

As we all know, the old jade that has just been unearthed in Dafan, in hundreds of thousands of years, has been eroded by soil or tomb goods, with various colors, but these Qin are not perfect in terms of color, but make the ancient jade appear very dark and rough. Therefore, after this ancient jade is unearthed, it is difficult to distinguish its material and age after being wrapped in many impurities and leather shells.

There are also some people who buy this ancient jade at a low price, and keep it all the year round, and only when the old jade restores its former warmth and purity, and the crystal is smooth and clean, can it be derived from it.

Even if the ancient jade has the most beautiful color, if it is not raised, the color will be hidden and not visible, the color of the jade is not easy to see, the jade surname is not returned, it will be like an ordinary stubborn stone, from the surface, the color is dark and yellow, without a trace of luster, such an ancient jade, how can it be identified with the naked eye?

Deng Wenchang gave Shen Ao a super problem, this jade pendant is indeed an antique, but such an old jade, if someone wants to identify the material and origin, I am afraid that no one present can do it.

The so-called appreciation is nothing more than three methods, one is touching, the second is inspection, and the most is tongue licking; And this old jade is covered with a layer of skin, whether it is touching, inspecting, or tongue licking, there is nothing to do in the face of this old jade.

Therefore, there is hardly any feasible way to identify this old jade for connoisseurs of this era.

The moment Deng Wenchang took out the old jade with a smile, many people couldn't help but shake their heads, secretly thinking that this time Shen Ao had to admit defeat.

Tang Yan, who was watching in the wing, was furious, Deng Wenchang was so shameless that he was so brazen that he took the old jade out and asked Shen Ao to appreciate it, Shen Gongzi, a child, was too sincere, and he was fooled by him.

In front of everyone's eyes, Shen Ao took the old jade and said with a slight smile: "Lord Deng is an elegant person, I don't know where this old jade came from?" ”

Of course, Deng Wenchang wouldn't say it, for fear that Shen Ao would guess the origin of the old jade from the clues, so he hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's just a friend who sent it, and I'm planning to raise it for a few years, Shen Gongzi is talented, he must know its authenticity and origin, right?" ”

Shen Ao nodded: "Okay, I'll come and appreciate one or two." ”

Shen Ao nodded at this point, and many people beat their chests, too real, too loyal, why is Shen Gongzi still arrogant, and suddenly seems to have changed a person, anyone can see that this is Deng Wenchang's trick, Shen Ao is proficient in antique appreciation, can't he even see this?

There are also some people who are cold-eyed bystanders, sneering in their hearts, the next life is the next life, Lord Deng is out of the horse, not to play with him in applause, when the time comes, see how he ends.

Everyone's expressions were different, but Zhao Ji, who was looking down from the window in the wing room, was stupid for a while, poked his head out, and couldn't take care of the prestige of the official family for a while.

Today's treasure appraisal is so wonderful that he is dizzying; At this time, seeing that Deng Wenchang had a problem for Shen Ao, Shen Ao agreed, and couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that this Shen Ao can really identify this old jade?" ”

aroused interest, there is a desire to continue watching**; Zhao Ji was already intoxicated at the moment, and he wanted to see if there was really anyone in the world who could identify the old jade.

Just when everyone was pregnant with ghosts, Shen Aor Ya smiled, played with the old jade in his hand for a while, and then said to the human: "Who can make a basin of water for me." ”

Everyone was stunned, appreciating jade, what do you want water for?

This was unheard of, but since Shen Ao opened his mouth, everyone wanted to see what method he used to identify this piece of old jade, so a few people immediately urged the waiter on the side: "Go and fetch water for Shen Gongzi." ”

At this time, the battle between Guozijian and Taixue suddenly eased down, and even Deng Wenchang was thinking in his heart: "Could he really be able to identify this old jade?" Let's see what he can do! ”

Only in the blink of an eye, Deng Wenchang's mind of wanting to teach Shen Ao a lesson gradually faded, and his mind depended on what Shen Ao was going to do.

After a while, the eunuch in charge of the eldest son of the emperor fetched a basin of water, Shen Ao put the old jade on the table, carefully soaked some water with his hands, and then put his finger on the top of the old jade, and the water droplets dripped down the fingertips, just falling on the old jade.

Shen Ao's eyes carefully began to observe the water droplets on the old jade, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes: "The old jade is not a fake. ”

Deng Wenchang was stunned for a moment, and then involuntarily asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Shen Ao said: "It is very simple to identify the authenticity of the old jade, I use the water drop method, the water drops on the old jade, if it becomes a dewdrop and does not disperse for a long time, it is a real jade, and the water droplets disappear quickly are fakes; Lord Deng, please see, this water droplet is still in the shape of dew drops and has not been dispersed for a long time, so it is impossible to forge it. ”

Drop method? Many people poked their heads to look at the water droplets on the old jade, but they all had doubts in their hearts, they had heard of a lot of identification methods, but the water drop method was unheard of, but I don't know how this Shen Ao knew this method!

Shen Ao smiled calmly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go find an old jade fake and try it." ”

The first time everyone heard of such an appraisal technique, they were all shaken up immediately, as Shen Ao said, this treasure appraisal meeting today, but can really learn a hand, so they went to find a fake, dripping water, sure enough, the water droplet quickly dissipated, many people exclaimed, said: "The water droplet is really scattered." ”

The hall suddenly became lively, but there was also a whisper in the wing room on the second floor, and many people couldn't wait to go downstairs immediately to find out.

It's just that the official family doesn't speak, who dares to go down at will, so although everyone is itchy in their hearts, they have to honestly continue to stay on the second floor.

Just when everyone was amazed, Shen Ao picked up the old jade again, put it in his hand and weighed it gently, and muttered a few strange words in his mouth, what quality, about three hundred grams and so on, suddenly, Shen Ao laughed calmly again, and said, "Bring a knife!" ”

Shen Ao's words were full of anger, but he was very heroic, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that everyone was stunned, and then he remembered that his words seemed to have a bit of a criminal tendency.

Khan, Ben Gongzi is just holding a knife, what are you doing looking at me like this, are you afraid that Ben Gongzi will kill someone?

Shen Ao glanced at them contemptuously, this group of scum with only five combat power, if you really want to kill them, you still need to use a knife?

"It's okay to find a one-foot-square blade." Shen Ao couldn't explain it to them, so he had to make a look that there was no attempt at violence.

"Take a knife?"

Everyone was stunned again, could it be that they were using a knife to identify this old jade?

It's weird, where in the world is there a knife to identify antiques?

However, Shen Ao's actions convinced many people, and immediately someone brought a small dagger and handed it to Shen Ao, Shen Ao touched the dagger, which was very sharp, and then pressed Gu Yu on the table, and gently slashed Gu Yu with the dagger.

Deng Wenchang hurriedly said: "Shen Gongzi, if you damage the ancient jade, then what else can you appreciate?" ”

Shen Ao was almost there, raised his eyes and said to Deng Wenchang: "Did I say that it would damage the ancient jade?" He picked up the ancient jade and said to Deng Wenchang: "See for yourself, how can this jade be easily damaged." ”

When this sentence came out, everyone sighed; Oh! It turns out that the material of this jade is jadeite jade!

It's just that how did this Shen Ao know?

It must be known that if it is nephrite, it only needs to be cut with a dagger, and the jade body must be damaged; Shen Ao dared to cut the old jade with a dagger, so he must have expected that this old jade was jadeite jade, and jadeite jade has an alias, called jadeite, which is extremely hard, even if it is chopped with a sword, it cannot leave some nicks on the jade.
