Chapter 114: This is called black belly
Chapter 114: This is called black-bellied
Deng Wenchang was secretly surprised and couldn't help but say, "Young Master Chen, how did you know that this old jade is jade?"
The outer layer of the old jade has a layer of skin, which cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. Chen Ao dares to use a dagger to cut the old jade, so Deng Wenchang probably Chen Ao knew it was a piece of jade before this.
Chen Ao smiled sincerely and said, "I guess."
Guessing? Everyone was stunned, Deng Wenchang pinched his beard and suddenly stopped.
Many people were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly felt relieved. Since Chen Ao could use the water drop method to unexpectedly measure the authenticity of the old jade, there must be a way to identify its texture, but he refused to say it.
Of course, Chen Ao was not a guess. He just put the old jade in his hand to roughly estimate the volume and mass of the old jade, and thus calculate its approximate density. The difference between jadeite and soft jade lies in its density. If the mass is heavier and the volume is smaller, then this piece must be jadeite, which is undoubtedly jadeite.
Of course, this method cannot be told to outsiders. This involves mathematical problems. Although mathematics in ancient times has made many breakthroughs, there are only a few mathematicians present, but there are many literary youths, old literary youths, etc. Researching knowledge such as mass and volume with them is a waste of talk.
In order to prove to them that this is jade, Chen Ao had to take out a knife and cut everything. The biggest feature of jade is that it is hard. The ordinary dagger naturally cannot leave any trace on its surface.
Chen Ao continued to pinch the jade and looked carefully at the shape and texture of the jade. Although it was wrapped in a leather shell and had a lot of impurities in the color core, there were still traces of remaining artificial excavation. This piece of jade had a solemn style and a practical beauty. Chen Ao murmured: "Qin Yu does not emphasize magnificence, but takes solemnity and solemnity as the style. If I expected it, this should be Qin Yu. But..."
He suddenly hesitated that ordinary Qin Yu would carve small seal scripts on the jade body to show his identity as the owner, but looking at the old jade, even if it was wrapped in a leather shell, it would not have even a trace of the characters. So...
Chen Ao suddenly remembered an allusion. During the reign of Qin Jiangong, there was an allusion. It is said that in order to resist the attacks of foreign races in the north, Qin Jiangong wore swords in the palace and summoned his subordinates in martial arts uniforms. He ordered officials to bring swords to guard against themselves and allowed the people to wear swords.
This practice is actually to develop a martial spirit. It was during that period that many warriors in Qin began to rule, and many generals who could not read big words could even be at the level of being extremely ministers.
The most interesting thing is that after these military men came to power, they naturally became repulsive to literary people. It is said that books are not allowed in their mansions, and even guests who know the literati and make up their words.
This situation lasted for many years and was not corrected after Mr. Jian's death.
So will this piece of jade be related to these warriors?
Chen Ao sighed and said, "The old jade from Qin Jiangong was indeed different from the ordinary old jade; Lord Deng, how much did you buy this piece of jade?"
When Chen Ao said the three words "Qin Jian Gong", many people immediately understood that Chen Ao had roughly guessed its origin, and many people suddenly showed admiration.
Deng Wenchang's face seemed a little unnatural and replied, "It only took thirty stakes."
Chen Ao laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Deng made a big profit this time. This piece of ancient pre-Qin jade came from the time of Duke Jian. The person wearing it should be a warrior with a high official. It is difficult for the second piece of it in the world. If I guess it is right, this piece of jade alone will be worth at least a thousand guan!"
Deng Wenchang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He originally wanted to use an old jade to make things difficult for Chen Ao, but Chen Ao actually took out the old jade in one breath. However, now he knew that the old jade he had bought was actually a priceless thing. Finally, he felt a little more comfort in his heart, and asked Chen Ao slowly, "How can he see this old jade from the Qin Jiangong period?"
Chen Ao expressed the characteristics of the era of the Duke Jian period, and then said: "Looking at this old jade, although it has been a thousand years, you can still see that its craftsmanship is exquisite. If it were not a wealthy family, it would never be possible to have it. The biggest feature of jade in the Qin Dynasty is that the name and official position of the owner are carved on the jade, but there is no trace of the jade. Then the only possibility is that the only one wearing this old jade is those warriors who act erratic."
Deng Wenchang quickly put away the old jade carefully, showed a look of shame, bowed to Chen Ao, and said, "I am convinced, my son is brilliant."
After Deng Wenchang said that, he sat back in shame and didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Zhou Heng was watching with a smile, and immediately applauded and cheered loudly. Chen Ao taught him the applause. At this time, he was excited. Seeing that his cousin suddenly suppressed everyone, he thought that his cousin was indeed awesome, and he thought that this cousin was still his favorite. Zhou Heng felt that he had a wise eye to know the torch, which was so amazing!
The first applause sounded, and the supervisors also applauded!
It’s so cool. A supervisor picked the entire Imperial College, and even the Minister of Works was impressed by him. With his arrogance, who would dare to underestimate the Imperial College?
Then more applause rang one after another. Of course, Taishen and Deng Wenchang naturally would not applaud. They all dejectedly kept silent, as if they had lost their parents.
Chen Ao quickly showed some humility, bowed to everyone, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your love, I guessed and confused, and I won a few games by chance..."
Chen Ao said a lot of humble words in one breath, but these words always feel a little harsh when they hear Taixue people. If this kid really guessed and misunderstood, he could even defeat so many treasure appraisers in Taixue. Isn’t that the Taixue can’t even compare to the people who accidentally hit him?
The more humble Chen Ao is, the more blushed the students.
Immediately someone said, "Mr. Chen is so humble."
Is it modest? This is called reserve, noble, and strong demeanor!
After a while, someone said, "Please take a look at my small wood carving, how valuable is my small wood carving."
The one said again: "Is it okay for Mr. Chen to appreciate this jade pendant for me?"
Those who came to this appreciation conference brought several proud treasures on them. At this time, when they saw Chen Ao's power, many people were moved and took out the treasures they had in their boxes and asked Chen Ao to appraise.
However, a few unyielding people stood up and said deliberately: "Please give me advice from Mr. Chen." Among these people are the minister of Dali Temple and the head of the Ministry of Justice, and they all want to find the place for the Imperial Academy.
Chen Ao responded one by one, and he lost several people in a row. Seeing that this treasure appraisal would be disrupted by the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, it was over. Chen Ao was naturally the biggest winner. He identified a few antiques for others, and then stopped accepting orders!
It’s too shameless! Many guys seem to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
One of the guys deliberately acted like they were going to duel with Shen Ao, took out his treasure and fought to the death with Shen Ao. As a result, Chen Ao identified the treasure and said the value. The guy was immediately delighted, put away the treasure and hid it in the crowd.
It's so hateful. This is called Chen Ao for his identification, and it's free. It must be noted that in this era, the identification of treasures is of great value, especially some antiques from ancient times. Only famous artists who have to appraise treasures can see their value, but to invite these famous artists, the cost is naturally not low.
Chen Ao felt fooled and actually took advantage of that guy for nothing.
He couldn't resist it, but he couldn't help it. Chen Ao's eyes turned and said very movedly: "You want to appraise treasures. Chen will appraise you for free tomorrow. Today is a treasure appraisal conference. Your Highness, the eldest son, personally hosted it. You can't break your rules. It's better to do this. In the future, I will go to Sui Yashan Room to have tea. If you have free time, you can also go to Sui Yashan Room. At that time, I will appreciate it for you for free and there is no charge!"
When everyone heard this, they were all happy. Mr. Chen had a good character and was very good at appraising treasures for free. Most of these people were princes and nobles, and the least of them were wealthy businessmen and enthusiasts of antiques. They had more treasures in their homes, and there were many antiques that were difficult to identify the authenticity. When Chen Ao said this, everyone couldn't help but think: "It seems that if you have free time, you should go to the Sui Yashan Room to wait for Mr. Chen. Please ask him to appraise the treasures and ask for some experience. It's great."
Chen Ao has a good character and serves the people for free, which immediately received unanimous praise from everyone. Even those students who pursed their lips couldn't help but admire Chen Ao's character.
However, Chen Ao's thoughts are only known by himself. He now feels that the most urgent problem to be solved is to inform Wu Saner in time and ask him to make a floor immediately and establish a senior member private room.
Haha, these princes and princes will not be much less knowledgeable. If you want to have tea in Suiyashanfang, there will be no problem.
Of course, treasure appraisal is free, but if Chen Ao only goes to the senior member's private room to have tea, these people will naturally get waiting in the senior member's private room. Senior members have ten cents of tuition fees per month, one pot of tea, and five hundred cents of pastries. You can wait slowly, wait for ten days and half a month, and the money for a single refreshment can earn at least fifty or sixty cents of tuition according to the head of the person, and you will be damned to death.
Of course, if Heihei, Chen Ao still needs fame. Although many people are circulating the unclear relationship between Chen Ao and Sui Yashanfang, this matter is only circulated among the people. No one knows that Chen Ao is the largest shareholder behind Sui Yashanfang. In this way, money has been made, and Sui Yashanfang’s fame has been fought out again. The customers are no longer just some young men, but there are many more princes and rich men, and the level can be further improved.
And Chen Ao really appreciates antiques for them for free, who dares to say anything?
