Chapter 31: Half a Nail
() "Haha, it's really thick and heavy." Chu Tianci said to Professor Jiang with a smile.
"Is it true?" Yue Qianling asked softly in his ear.
"So what if it's real or fake, you don't want to buy it anyway, just take a look." Chu Tianci muttered in a low voice.
"Are you going to say it or not?" Yue Qianling grabbed his arm tightly in a hurry.
"Please be gentle, you are pulling and tugging at Chen in broad daylight. It is unbecoming. Not to mention that men and women are not intimate with each other. You are a person who has read books. Why don't you understand this?" Chu Tianci moved Yue Qianling's hand with force.
He said complainingly.
"Hey, now I'm not talking about sex. When you ran into my bathroom, I didn't see you being so righteous."
Yue Qianling poked Chu Tianci's sore spot, and Chu Tianci immediately lowered his head and said in embarrassment.
"Destroy people's wealth and kill their parents. These are the rules. Why do you have to force me to do it?"
"Then you won't say it, right?"
Chu Tianci nodded firmly.
Yue Qianling didn't care about him, let go of his arm, and said to the stall owner.
"I bought this jade!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Qianling, and there was an uproar again. Fifty thousand yuan was an astronomical figure. He didn't expect a girl to buy it with open arms. Chu Tianci knew that Yue Qianling was not joking. To others, five yuan
Ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure, but it is nothing to her.
Chu Tianci hurriedly dragged Yue Qianling out, but Yue Qianling reluctantly shook off his hand.
"I'm about to buy it, what's wrong?"
"Does this lady like it? Since Professor Jiang estimated the price at 50,000, I don't want more. An object like this is definitely worth more than this price." The stall owner said calmly when he heard that Yue Qianling wanted to buy it.
"Qian Ling, I know you have always liked jade. This jade is indeed a good thing. With your financial strength, it is not difficult to buy it. It is a good choice for collection or investment."
Professor Jiang knew that Yue Qianling's family was well off, so he smiled and nodded.
Yue Qianling twisted her head and smiled provocatively at Chu Tianci.
"Hey, I really bought it."
Chu Tianci gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and rolled his eyes at her.
"Fake!"
The crowd that had gathered around for several times was struck by the word "fake" by Chu Tianci. If the dynamite barrel was lit, it exploded. They were all talking and looking at Chu Tianci.
Professor Jiang was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Yue Qianling had been urging Chu Tianci to see the jade. It turned out that he was also an expert.
"Godsend, this jade has passed your hands for less than half a minute. How do you know it's fake?"
Yue Qianling didn't know why today. If it were normal times, Professor Jiang would say that this jade was real, she wouldn't even think about it. But seeing that Chu Tianci had been silent, she felt very unsure. Now Chu Tianci said it was true.
It's fake, but Yue Qianling is secretly happy. Professor Jiang specializes in jade appraisal at the Institute of Archaeology. He can be regarded as the master of jade appraisal, and is known as Jiang Yiyan!
That is to say, he only needs to look at the jade to distinguish its authenticity.
Now Chu Tianci jumped out and said it was a lie. This was clearly a challenge to the authority. This scene was what Yue Qianling had been looking forward to seeing. Yue Leiting said in front of him every day that Chu Tianci was good at this and that was good, as if there was something in the sky and nothing on the earth.
Now that I'm so consumed with Jiang, I'm just waiting to see Chu Tianci's joke.
"Don't just tell a lie and it's over. There has to be a reason?" Yue Qianling added fuel to the fire and said with a smile.
Chu Tianci understood the meaning of the smile on Yue Qianling's face, weakly picked up the jade and walked to Professor Jiang.
"I'm just guessing. You have good eyesight. Take a look here."
Professor Jiang adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his head to look at the place on the jade jade where Chu Tianci was pointing, his face became darker and darker, and he slapped himself hard in the face.
"It's shameful, it's shameful that I missed this." Professor Jiang said sadly.
Yue Qianling didn't understand why Professor Jiang was so confident just a moment ago, but after taking another look, he became like this.
"Professor Jiang, is this jade jade real?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
"Hey... I'm sorry, everyone, this... this is fake!" Professor Jiang lowered his head and said.
After hearing what he said, the stall owner finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up hurriedly, and said nervously.
"How...how could it be fake? I asked someone to specially inspect it. It is absolutely authentic. I spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy it. Jiang...Professor Jiang, you have to explain it clearly to me.
."
Yue Qianling picked up the jade again and looked at Chu Tianci in surprise.
"What exactly is wrong?"
Chu Tianci pointed to a place on the edge of the jade for her to look at. Yue Qianling lowered her head and looked carefully for a long time before she discovered that there was only half of a grain nail on the edge of the jade.
"There are only half of the grain nails...this...does this have anything to do with authenticity?" Yue Qianling still doesn't quite understand.
"What does it matter?!" Professor Jiang said with a serious face. "If it matters a lot, I won't do it. The workers will never make half a nail."
"It may be that there is a deviation in the workmanship. Can't we conclude that it is fake based on this alone?" Yue Qianling asked still puzzled.
"This is a jade from the Song Dynasty that was imitated from the Han Dynasty. The craftsmanship is quite mature, so it is absolutely impossible for such a big flaw to appear." Professor Jiang explained earnestly.
The stall owner was sweating on his head, his hands were shaking, and he said in a panic.
"Professor Jiang, please look carefully. Don't scare me. Could it be that it's just a mistake?"
"There cannot be any error in this. The ancients were very rigorous in making jade and would not process it haphazardly. The arrangement of grain nails like this is very regular. According to the formal method, the space should be calculated.
What is the diameter of jade jade and can it be made?
You have to know how many pills you want before making these. It is absolutely impossible to get half a pill. This is obviously a mistake caused by insufficient calculation during the production process." Chu Tianci saw the anxious look of the stall owner and said,
He sighed and whispered beside him.
After hearing what Chu Tianci said, the people surrounding them suddenly dispersed without any sympathy or nostalgia. Things like this happen every day in the ghost market. No matter how beautiful this jade is, as long as it is fake, it will be the same as in this ghost market.
Like thousands of objects, there is nothing attractive about them.
The stall owner sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly at the jade in front of him, looking a little unbearable.
"It's so pitiful. It seems that he was also deceived and spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy fake goods. Alas..." Yue Qianling said sadly.
Chu Tianci lowered his head and dragged her out, saying angrily.
"Destroying people's wealth, killing parents, I have told you that there are rules for doing things and observing without saying anything. What's the use of pitying him now? If it weren't for you, would he be like this?"
"But...but things are fake. You can't use fake things to deceive people." Yue Qianling tilted her head and said unconvinced.
"This is a ghost market, a place where you eat with your eyes. There is no forced buying or selling, and there is no bullying. The business is one who is willing to buy and one who is willing to sell. The only thing that determines whether the jade is true or false is the eye. If the eye cannot see, the true is regarded as false, and the false is regarded as false.
To be true is a common thing, no different from anyone else.”
Just as Yue Qianling was about to argue, Professor Jiang came over at some point.
"This ghost market is full of devastation. The awake laugh at the drunk, and the drunk laugh at the awake. The drunk laughs at each other, and black and white share the same universe." Professor Jiang sighed and said in a low voice. "Qian Ling, many things are not right and wrong, true and
It’s so easy to fake it, Tianci is right, today I’m the one to slap you, but you really messed up the rules here by forcing Tianci to tell the truth in front of everyone.”
When Yue Qianling heard Professor Jiang, who was usually honest, honest and knowledgeable, say this, she blushed and lowered her head and said nothing.
"Godsend, I have been in the jade appraisal business all my life. I am ashamed to be called Jiang. If it hadn't been for you today, my reputation would have been ruined in my own hands. After decades of looking at it, I am not as good as you. What a bullshit Jiang.
, Haha, the younger generation is still to be feared." Professor Jiang said, shaking his head sadly.
"Professor Jiang, please don't say that. People can judge jade three-thirds of the time, and jade can judge people one hundred percent. Whether you can tell the authenticity of jade is a trivial matter. You have such a big title in front of so many people.
If you admit that you cheated, you are truly noble and upright." Chu Tianci quickly laughed twice and said modestly.
Professor Jiang patted Chu Tianci on the shoulder happily and said meaningfully to Yue Qianling.
"Qian Ling, you may be better than me when it comes to jade, but when it comes to people, hehe, I am an old guy who is inferior to you. You have found such a good boyfriend... Oh, no, he should be a friend. Hehe, you have a unique vision. Good job.
Be sure, this guy is really good."
Yue Qianling was startled and wondered why everyone she met insisted on saying that Chu Tianci was her boyfriend. What was even more terrible was that Yue Leiting said that Chu Tianci was good in her ears every day, but why?
Everyone who saw him praised the man next to him, saying that gold can shine everywhere, but until now, Yue Qianling has not found any light on Chu Tianci that illuminates her.
"Professor Jiang, you are visiting the ghost market alone anyway, why don't you come with us?" Yue Qianling blushed and changed the subject.
"Haha, of course it's good, but I don't know if an old man like me will disturb you two." Professor Jiang said with a hesitant smile.
"Look at what you keep saying. Do you want to bother me? As long as you are giving me extra lessons, my paper will definitely be published. Usually people ask you to give lessons, but it costs real money. I am not picking it up.
