Chihiro Akagi glanced at Shirakawa lightly, she didn't expect Shirakawa to think so highly of herself, although she was indeed very good.

Of course, he never thought that Shirakawa would not explain what others slandered him, and this kind of calmness and confidence is very rare.

The brothers and sisters of the Akagi family all looked at Shirakawa with blank eyes, waiting for him to explain, but he started a new topic, picked up the teacup, and said with the eyes of a scholar,

"This cup is actually blue and white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, which has been 1,300 years old."

The Akagi family drinks tea differently from other families, basically every guest or host has a tea slave around him, and the tea slave is only responsible for making tea for one person, so the tea that everyone drinks tastes different, and everyone gets a different tea set.

Chihiro Akagi's tea slave is theoretically the best, and the tea he drinks is also the most fragrant.

Hearing Shirakawa say this, everyone looked over in surprise.

The set of tea sets that the Akagi family used for him is indeed an antique, but there are very few people in the family who know about antiques, and only a few people know about it, but those are all clan elders.

The clan elders also participated in the banquet, but they were all separated by a screen, in the middle room.

The reason for using this set of tea sets for him is because this incomplete set of tea sets is far from the appearance of other decorative tea sets, and some people deliberately don't want to give Bai Chuan a good look, so they will take out this set of broken tea sets.

Who would have thought this would be an antique?

Shirakawa held the teacup and pretended to be attentive, but in fact, the identification technique had already shown all the information about the teacup, and even the name of the ancient craftsman who made the teacup was said.

Although the number and completeness of blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty were not as good as those of later generations, the blue and white porcelain of this period had begun to take shape, which was an important stage in the history of the development of blue and white porcelain in China.

"This porcelain was unearthed in the land of Gongyi, China, and its characteristic is the use of cobalt-containing blue glaze to decorate the porcelain, which was originally supposed to be a pot of four cups, and now there is only one pot and one cup left, although it is incomplete, but it is also quite collectible, and it tastes really good to drink tea."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

The people of the Akagi family passed their eyes one after another,

'This thing is an antique?' ’

'How would I know?' ’

'It's not meant to fool people, is it?' ’

'He's still going to be a treasurer?' Just kidding, right? ’

Akagi frowned, obviously not satisfied with Shirakawa's previous answer, and now he changed the subject again.

"What are you talking nonsense? It's just a broken teacup, it doesn't look good, and the workmanship is rough, so I will fill it with tea for you. ”

"Weixi, don't talk nonsense."

Akagi Aoiko glanced at her daughter, who was spoiled by her.

Chihiro Akagi didn't have any superfluous expression on her face, neither showing anger nor being particularly happy.

She knows that as the head of the family, there will be people who want to see her jokes, whether it is her sister or her fiancé, at this time, there are some people who are happy to see it, this is the disadvantage of a big family, there are too many people, you can never completely unify their thoughts.

"This is indeed an antique, if you don't believe it, you can take it for identification."

Shirakawa responded with a smile, and he didn't have the same knowledge as the little girl.

Akagi Aoiko smiled and took the teacup, "This blue and white is indeed beautiful, maybe it's really an antique." ”

She chose to side with Shirakawa, even though she didn't know how to appreciate treasures at all.

Harumi Akagi, who was wearing a plain kimono, smiled slightly,

"Grandpa Sixth used to be a member of the Treasure Bureau, and now that he is retired, maybe he can take a look."

She wants to see Bai Chuan's ugly, she doesn't believe that this set of tea sets is an antique, the real antiques are usually sealed and placed in the treasure house, how can it be that the pearl is secretly cast and directly served on the table.

The fact that this tea set can appear here means that the sixth grandfather has seen it and has not recognized it.

The sixth grandfather in her mouth is named Akagi Kazuhiro, and he sits in the inner room.

"Okay, that's good."

Shirakawa was in a good mood when he succeeded in diverting everyone's attention.

He didn't want Akagi Weixi, a fool, to keep chasing him as a scumbag and questioning the whole process, and when the time came, he wouldn't answer, and he wouldn't answer if he didn't answer, which made the scene embarrassing.

Since you know that it will not be easy to participate in this kind of banquet, it is better to go to the field that you are good at.

In addition to solving the case and identifying treasures, he has advanced identification skills.

If you have the initiative, you will not be in a passive situation.

Chihiro Akagi saw Shirakawa's attitude and didn't stop it.

She had heard that Takahashi Nagajing had a good ability to appreciate treasures, and since then, there has never been an excellent treasure connoisseur in the Takahashi family, could it be that Shirakawa is in the same vein as Takahashi Nagake? It's interesting.

Chihiro Akagi bowed slightly, and the servant walked into the room and invited the clan elders out.

There are six clan elders, one male and five female.

In the Akagi family, women are respected, and the sixth grandfather, Akagi Ichiyu, can be in the position of the elder of the clan, also because he was quite capable of means when he was young.

They came to Shirakawa, and the other clan elders were still observing Shirakawa, and only Kazuhiro Akagi was seriously identifying the teacups.

On the way, Bai Chuan was afraid that the old man was too old to see clearly, so he made a few special mentions.

Kazuhiro Akagi exclaimed, "Takahashi-kun has a discerning eye, this is indeed an antique, and it is completely different from the old ones in the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became lively.

"It's really an antique!"

"I didn't expect Takahashi-kun to appreciate treasures."

"Wouldn't it be true?"

The younger generation was talking, and their faces were more or less surprised.

They were even more shocked when they heard Kazuhiro Akagi say that the teacup was at least a thousand years old.

Kazuhiro Akagi held the cup and couldn't put it down.

Akagi Aoiko had no choice but to ask the servant to bring a new set of tea sets for Shirakawa.

The other five clan elders also showed approving glances when they saw Akagi Kazuhiro's affirmation of Shirakawa, and Shirakawa also talked with them very happily, and there was no obstacle to communicating with these old people at all.

Since the appraisal technique has been upgraded, Shirakawa can see the personality traits of these people, and if he likes them, there will be no awkward situations in chatting.

"I didn't expect Takahashi-kun to be so young that he had a lot of insight into treasure appreciation."

"He is worthy of being the new head of the Takahashi family."

"The conversation is extraordinary, no wonder Chihiro will agree to fulfill the marriage contract with Ling."

Seeing that the family elders were full of praise for Shirakawa, Harumi Akagi's brows furrowed slightly, which was completely different from what she wanted to see.

Akagi was also frightened by the bunch of proper nouns spoken by Shirakawa, and felt that his education level seemed to be unable to keep up.

"Damn, how does he know so much?"

Akagi Miki sat down depressed, and Akagi Harumi beside her comforted, "Miki, everyone has their own areas of expertise, maybe he is good at this." ”

"Takahashi-kun, you came at the right time, I received a batch of good things not long ago, and I haven't had time to carefully identify them, are you interested in taking a look?"

Kazuhiro Akagi, an elderly family elder, asked.

Shirakawa bowed, "Of course." ”

So, Akagi Kazuhiro and the other clan elders directly led Shirakawa into the inner room.

Chihiro Akagi and Aoiko Akagi also followed, and the other younger generations wanted to enter, but they were all stopped.

They could only sit in the hall in a huff, with regret and curiosity, and continue to feast.

"Damn, what's the big deal, it's just that I can appreciate treasures."

Akagi Miki said willfully.

"Don't play with the child's temper, if we lose, we lose, we want to see him mess up, but we let him do it."

Harumi Akagi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly,

"Doesn't this just show that Sister Chihiro's vision is very good?"

"Hmph, I didn't lose, he must have deceived Sister Chihiro, I want to expose his true colors and let Sister Chihiro cancel the marriage contract with him, he is not worthy of Sister Chihiro at all."

Akagi Miki said seriously.

"Stupid, stupid sister, even if Takahashi-kun is not worthy of Sister Chihiro, you can't say it on such an occasion."

Akagi Mabo pulled Akagi Miki and said.

"He can chat with the clan elders so happily, and he can be regarded as capable."

Takayuki Akagi said.

Shuizo Akagi raised his glass, "Yes, Takahashi-kun is a talent, why do you want to target him?" Even the mother did not say anything against it. ”

"This is the Takahashi family trying to climb us, of course we can't let them succeed."

Akagi said.

"Yes, the reputation of the Takahashi family has plummeted, and the face of the old nobles has been lost, and now they just want to use us to restore their lives."

Yasuhiro Akagi said.

"It's ironic that such a down-and-out family would marry the pearl of our family."

Ryoko Akagi said that she was Aoiko Akagi's sister and belonged to Chihiro's elders, and the people who spoke just now were Chihiro's peers.

Unfortunately, no matter what they say, they have no right to oppose the marriage contract of the head of the house.

The head of the Akagi family has absolute rights, and even if she wants to marry a commoner, no one will dare to stand up against it.

Akagi Miki just hopes that Chihiro Akagi will see the true face of Shirakawa clearly and take the initiative to cancel the marriage.

At this time, the inside room.

Kazuhiro Akagi presents six items in front of Shirakawa.

One of them is a calligraphy, three landscape paintings, a broken sword, and a Buddha head.

"This calligraphy is Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting."

Kazuhiro Akagi felt that Shirakawa knew a lot about Chinese culture, and couldn't help but show off.

The other five female clan elders, Chihiro Akagi and Aoiko Akagi also looked at the calligraphy curiously.

Chihiro Akagi stretched out her hand and touched the copybook,

"It's so well written, smooth and elegant, all in one go."

Chihiro Akagi only thinks that the words in front of him, even if they are not antiques, are very collectible.

Akagi Aoiko looked at her daughter's very liking appearance, although she didn't know calligraphy as well as her daughter, she couldn't help but admire,

"It's really like everybody's work."

Shirakawa smiled,

"Senior, this is not Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, this is a high imitation of the descendants, written by a person named Li Keyi, but it can be regarded as an antique, because Li Keyi is also a person from the Ming Dynasty, and this calligraphy is from the Ming Dynasty."

"What? Isn't it Wang Xizhi's real work? ”

Kazuhiro Akagi asked in surprise.

Shirakawa nodded,

"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can send it to a professional treasure appraisal institution with scientific instruments for testing, this is indeed from the Ming Dynasty, this person's imitation of handwriting is vivid, it is also considered calligraphy, it is indeed difficult to distinguish in the handwriting, but through the paper, most of the bast fiber surface of the paper in the Ming and Qing dynasties has a layer of transparent colloidal film, and the bast fiber paper made of fine craftsmanship is not only pure and fine white, but also has obvious silky luster, such as silk, so there is' The reputation of the white cotton paper, look at the paper used in this calligraphy is white cotton paper. ”

"That's how it is."

Kazuhiro Akagi sighed and immediately invited Shirakawa to continue appraising the three landscape paintings.

"The painting of the monk Longmian in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is a genuine work."

Shirakawa said.

"Who is the Dragon Sleep Monk?"

Akagi Aoiko asked curiously.

Shirakawa looked at Chihiro Akagi, her expression was calm, so she asked,

"Does Chihiro-san know?"

Chihiro Akagi shook her head, "I also know a little about the culture of Huaguo, and I don't know about the Longmian Monk. ”

But you at least know Wang Xizhi.

Shirakawa smiled and explained,

"Longmian Jushi, whose real name is Li Gonglin, is his number.

Li Gonglin was born in a famous family, his father Li Xuyi, once served as the Dali Temple, like to collect famous paintings, therefore, Li Gonglin has been deeply influenced by art since childhood.

He is knowledgeable, good at ancient times, more literate words, since the Xia Shang Zhong Ding Zun Yi can be tested for the world, distinguish the style, good at poetry, the line of regular script has the style of the Jin people, but now there are very few, and Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian for the best friends, is the seat of the horse Wang Xu.

Song Xining ascended to the rank of Jinshi in three years, successively served as Nankang, Changyuan Lieutenant, Sizhou Records and Joined the Army and other local officials, and later entered Beijing as the provincial deletion official of Zhongshumen, the Imperial History of the Taiwan Procuratorate and the Chaofeng Lang.

Li Gonglin has a wide range of expressions in his paintings, including Taoism, figures, saddle horses, palaces, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., and is proficient in copying.

His most famous masterpiece is actually "Five Horses".

This "Hometown Landscape" was actually made when he joined the army as a secretary of Sizhou, and later generations thought it was lost. ”

"Takahashi-kun, I didn't expect you to know so much about Chinese culture."

Akagi Aoiko said with a smile.

Chihiro Akagi also listened very carefully.

Later, Shirakawa helped Kazuhiro Akagi identify the other two paintings, and got the answer that they were all fakes.

Kazuhiro Akagi directly tore up the two fakes, and he was not in the habit of collecting fakes.

He admired Shirakawa even more, and he couldn't distinguish the difference between the paintings, but Shirakawa was able to distinguish them through clues.

When Shirakawa walked in front of the Buddha's head, he suddenly felt the urge to send Akagi Kazuhiro and the Buddha's head to the Huaguo History Museum.

Kazuhiro Akagi just knelt at the entrance of the museum.

"Is this the real thing?"

After the appraisal of just a few treasures, Kazuhiro Akagi already has a lot of trust in Shirakawa.

Bai Chuan circled around the Buddha's head, looked carefully, took the servant's gloves, put them on and touched them gently, and finally sighed regretfully,

"It's very similar, but it's not a real thing, it's a jade Buddha head from the Wu Zetian period, even if it's not genuine, it's good to put it at home as an ornament to appreciate."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

Kazuhiro Akagi asked, "Where did you see it, it's not the real thing?" ”

Shirakawa combined history with nonsense, and stunned Akagi Kazuhiro, and Akagi Aoiko and several other clan elders also believed it.

"Hey, it's a pity, since it's not true, there's no point in keeping it."

Kazuhiro Akagi wanted to destroy this "fake" that he had spent a lot of money on like the fake before he destroyed it, but was stopped by Shirakawa.

"Since the seniors don't want it, it's better to give it to me, even if it's a fake, but it's a real jade, it's a pity to smash it, I can put it at home to make an ornament."
