As everyone revealed their answers, the smile on Mr. Lei's face grew wider.

Everything was just as he thought. This third level really stumped many people...c

"In this third level, only seven families including Tianbao Pavilion, Wang Family, Feng Family, Xiao Ran Pavilion, Tianwang Mansion, City Lord's Mansion, and Antique Association answered correctly. The rest all answered incorrectly and were eliminated."

There was a coldness in Mr. Lei's voice. In this third level, more than a dozen people were eliminated at once, which made those who were eliminated very upset.

It took a lot of effort to get to this point. As long as you pass this level, you can participate in the fourth level and compete with the real masters.

You must know that Jiangnan City has many forces, and many forces have no chance to show themselves.

And this treasure appraisal meeting is a perfect opportunity for them to show up.

As long as you can pass the first three levels, you will be noticed by outsiders.

By then, business will naturally flourish.

If you can compete on the same stage with those real masters, your reputation will be greatly improved.

Looking at those annoyed guys, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile. Competition is so cruel and it is impossible for everyone to get satisfactory results.

However, only in this way can the fact that the three major forces monopolize the Jiangnan antique circle can be broken.

"Mr. Ye, don't you want to explain it to us?"

A middle-aged man who was eliminated stood up, looked at Ye Fan and asked.

Since the first two levels were explained by Ye Fan, naturally the fourth level also needs to be explained by Ye Fan.

"I like answering your questions. After all, I, Ye Fan, will continue to hang out in Jiangnan City in the future. If you have any doubts, you are welcome to come to Xiao Ran Pavilion, and I, Ye Fan, will discuss it with you.

"

Ye Fan was uncharacteristically different. Compared with the previous sarcastic remarks against Feng Xiao and the others, Ye Fan's attitude at this time was much better.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, the dozen or so people who were eliminated were stunned for a moment, and then smiles appeared on their faces.

These people all have real talents, but their abilities have not yet reached that level.

These talents are the mainstay of the Jiangnan antique circle.

"Everyone, please take a look at these four porcelain vases. In fact, it is impossible to tell the age of the porcelain vases just based on the manufacturing process and appearance. Because the age of these four porcelain vases is too close, we can only find another way."

Ye Fan's words made the dozen or so people confused again.

Another way? Is there another way to identify antiques?

You must know that antique appraisal is the most difficult task in the antique circle. It requires absolute eyesight and experience, otherwise it is impossible to accurately identify objects.

Although they are not first-level treasure appraisers, they understand the truth behind this and have never heard of a shortcut.

Ye Fan looked at the expressions on these people's faces and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Mr. Ye, please clear up our doubts."

Ye Fan smiled and nodded, then pointed at the four porcelain vases.

"Everyone, please look at the patterns on these four porcelain vases."

"pattern?"

This time, not only the eliminated person was stunned, but also Feng Xiao, Wang Feng and others.

Only Jiang Zhong and Mr. Lei had faint smiles on their faces.

Mr. Lu frowned even more and looked at Ye Fan with a hint of difference in his eyes.

In the past, Ye Fan had identified antiquities twice, and the analysis was reasonable, but neither of those two objects was difficult.

Therefore, even if Ye Fan accurately judged it, Mr. Lu did not pay attention.

But this time, Ye Fan made him stunned. You must know that a senior treasure appraiser not only needs a strong eyesight, but also needs to know how to adapt to changes.

You can't rely on pure eyesight to do everything.

Take these four porcelain vases as an example. It is easiest to judge based on the patterns on them.

When Lei Lao chose these four porcelain vases, he also chose based on this.

"Mr. Ye, what you mean is that these four porcelain vases

Can we tell their chronological order from the patterns on them?"

The middle-aged man who asked Ye Fan before asked confusedly.

Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it."

"These four pieces of porcelain are all objects from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Please take a look at the first porcelain vase. It has a pattern of peonies painted on it. According to records, during the Shunzhi period, people in the court loved peonies, especially the vigorously blooming peonies.

And the picture on this first porcelain bottle

This is the case, so we can be sure that this is an object from the Shunzhi period. Let’s look at the second porcelain vase, which is made of yellow chrysanthemums. Yellow chrysanthemums have an elegant and broad spirit, so they were favored by the Kangxi Emperor.

, whether civil or military officials, or

The common people regard the white yellow chrysanthemum as the noblest flower. Therefore, it can be concluded that this is an object from the Kangxi period. The third porcelain vase, plum blossoms and plum blossoms on the corner branches, bloomed alone by Ling Han, which is a symbol of nobility and hard work.

, when Emperor Yongzheng was in power,

Just like this plum blossom, it strives hard and enterprising, and uses its life's energy to clear up the originally chaotic world. Therefore, this plum blossom is an object from the Yongzheng period. As for the last lotus, it is from the Qianlong period. The reason, I think everyone should

You know it well."

Ye Fan had a smile on his face and did not explain the last porcelain vase in detail.

But everyone was already convinced and nodded in agreement.

"I see, this method was used to identify it. I learned a lot today."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ye would have such a clever method, which is admirable. I will definitely visit Xiao Ran Pavilion tomorrow."

"Thank you Mr. Ye for clarifying our doubts. Although we lost today, we are convinced that we lost. I will definitely ask Mr. Ye for advice in the future."

Everyone showed their favor to Ye Fan. In their eyes, Ye Fan was a rising star.

With such means and superb vision, not to mention he is still so young, it would be unreasonable if such a person could not become the overlord of a party.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, clasped his fists at everyone: "Everyone, come to Xiao Ran Pavilion someday, and I will have a drink with you all."

Many of these people have status. They like antiques just as a hobby. In addition to antiques, they also have their own main business.

Therefore, establishing good relationships with these people is crucial to Ye Fan's development in Jiangnan City.

Seeing that Ye Fan was so approachable and polite to them, these people smiled and nodded, and then said goodbye to him.

Seeing that Ye Fan had won the favor of these people, Feng Xiao, Zhao Dong and others' expressions turned gloomy.

"Find a way to inform these people and ask them to stay away from Ye Fan, otherwise, our Feng family will be rude to them."

Feng Xiao whispered to a subordinate next to him.

The subordinate nodded quickly and quickly left the venue.
