Chapter 111: Let you open your eyes
As soon as Chen Ao finished speaking, the hall suddenly calmed down, and the needle fell to the sound.
With one match, Mr. Chen actually had to face off against three masters of the Imperial Academy’s treasure appraisal!
Such confidence and arrogance not only angered the king's ministers, Hengkong and Zhou Zhongbin, but also made all the guests feel shocked.
On the contrary, the students in the prison were a little worried. Although Chen Ao was very famous in the Imperial College, no one had ever heard of him as a treasure appraisal, let alone challenged three masters alone?
In the wing room on the second floor, Zhao Ji, who was feeling bored, suddenly became energetic, closed his eyes and looked at Chen Ao from afar, and said intriguingly: "It's a bit interesting. Chen Ao is very arrogant. I want to see if he has real ability."
Zhao Ziheng said disapprovingly: "Chen Ao will brag, he will definitely lose."
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "How can I see it?"
Zhao Ziheng said without any hesitation: "What the Third Prince said."
Zhao Kai was immediately ashamed!
Cheng Yangxing, on the other side, laughed mockingly, stroked his beard and said, "Is Chen Ao crazy? Did he be prepared for it or just talk nonsense?"
Cheng Yangxing was a little worried, but then he felt relieved. A young man wanted to deal with three treasure appraisers? If you want to win, it would be impossible!
What else do you have to worry about?
He glanced at Tang Yan beside him and said with all his heart: "Master Tang, the Imperial College is indeed hidden and hiding dragons and tigers, and there are talents who fight against three."
Tang Yan chewed Cheng Yangsheng's words and couldn't help but think: "Hmph, he is simply ridiculing Chen Ao for being ungrateful!"
Tang Yan was actually worried. If Chen Ao Xun came out to compete alone, he might have hope. Perhaps in this way, Chen Ao can save some face for the Imperial College; but one fights three?
Alas... It's a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!
...
Zeng Sui'an gently pulled Chen Ao's sleeves and whispered, "Young Master Chen..." He wanted to kindly remind Chen Ao and told him to be careful, but just called Chen Ao's name, Chen Ao interrupted his words first.
Chen Ao smiled calmly and said to Zeng Sui'an, who showed concern in front of him: "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, I'm more than enough to deal with these three yellow-haired boys. Not to mention the three of them, I'm not afraid of even the students here coming up together; but..."
Chen Aoru shook his head, glanced at the Tai students with a smile, and then said, "There are only three of the Tai students who can be regarded as the first to learn treasure appraisal. As for the others, no matter how many of them are, they are just decorations."
This sentence was extremely arrogant, and immediately a dissatisfied with the arrogance of the pride of the stern students shouted and said, "What a big tone, hum, look at how long you are crazy, I'm afraid you will lose completely!"
Chen Ao ignored him and said to the waiter beside him: "Come on antiques!"
The ministers of the king, Hengkong, and Zhou Zhongbin looked at each other and smiled. Since Chen Ao said he wanted to compete with the three of them, they had no reason to refuse. They came today to make Chen Ao defeated!
Wang Zhichen looked at Chen Ao and sneered: "Brother Chen, don't regret it!"
Chen Ao's head raised slightly, looked at Wang Zhichen with an arrogant look, and said, "I never know what regret means, and I have to give advice to Brother Wang!"
Zhou Zhongbin glared at Chen Ao and said, "You will know later!"
As he said that, under the attention of everyone, an eunuch came with antiques, uncovered the red cover, which was a running script. He carefully unfolded the antique running script, and the eunuch stepped aside.
Zhou Zhongbin hated Chen Ao and was determined to embarrass Chen Ao. He immediately leaned over to read running script, only looking at the four words "Recommendation of Ji Zhi Watch" written on the running script. Zhou Zhongbin took a deep breath. "Recommendation of Ji Zhi Watch"? This is a rare treasure. The author of "Recommendation of Ji Zhi Watch" is Zhong Yao. Zhong Yao's running script is comparable to Wang Xizhi, especially small regular script, which is said to be the font first created by Zhong Yao.
"Recommended Ji Zhi Watch" is a rare pinnacle work by Zhong Yao. It is said that it was collected by the palace of the former Tang Dynasty. I don't know whether the "Recommended Ji Zhi Watch" in front of me is true or false.
Zhou Zhongbin continued to look closely. Wang Zhichen and Hengkong also came over and began to look at the banners and corners of running scripts, hoping to find out the flaws.
Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "No need to read it, this running script of Zhong Yao is fake."
The students were so energetic that Chen Ao could tell the authenticity of this running script by just a glance?
Apart from shock, many people naturally find it hard to believe.
Zhou Zhongbin raised his eyes and sneered, "I don't know why Brother Chen said it is fake."
Chen Ao's identification speed was too fast, and Zhou Zhongbin didn't believe it at all. Even no matter how powerful the treasure appraiser was, it would never be possible for him to have such a fast speed.
Chen Ao said confidently: "Fake running scripts are divided into two types: clever and inferior. One is a magical and false. It is a magical and false. It is a search for the artistic conception of the original work, and uses the original author's brushwork to write directly. This method of forgery is rare and requires the forger to have extremely high artistic attainments. However, this running script is obviously made by inferior filling and false methods. The forger first uses paper or a fine brush to lower the line outlines. Then fill in the hollow; this type of fake is somewhat similar at first glance, but if you are interested, you only If you need to look at it, you will find that the whole work is dull, the brush strokes are dull and the ink color is lacking in thickness. Although some fake works are first described and then copied, they are inevitably inspired by their guilt and timid writing. You can see the flaws by just looking carefully. Look at the ink in this running script, have you found that the ink in this running script is uneven? Look at the charm of this running script carefully, haha... Is this inferior copy of this kind of low-quality copying also matches the feeling of Zhong Yao's size and ethereality? It's too dull."
Fake calligraphy and painting are the guys who are eating Chen Ao. It would be fine if you say that you can identify other antiques. When you encounter ancient paintings, you only need to glance at Chen Ao's level, and it is only a matter of truth or falsehood in a flash, and it doesn't take much effort at all.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhongbin immediately went to look at the ink in the running script. When he saw it, his face suddenly changed. As Chen Ao said, this fake is really used to use the filling method to ink. When ordinary people learn about running scripts, they mostly start with paper, because paper is actually the most difficult to fake. After all, after hundreds of years, the paper is easily old or even damaged. And these three masters of the Taishu all chose to start with it.
Who knew that Chen Ao was even more powerful. By just reading running script, you could feel its charm and directly distinguish the authenticity.
The spectators were in an uproar. Chen Ao's move was really amazing. It should be noted that glances were just a matter of passing by. Even a master of calligraphy would take at least some time to identify the authenticity of ancient running scripts. Chen Ao is good. After a brief look, the answer will be revealed.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Chen Ao knew was at least hundreds of methods of forging antiques, and there were hundreds of running scripts he had forged. If he had made too many forged things, he would have known the effects of various methods. If he could not even see the fakes he had with his colleagues, he would have made another way to make a living long ago!
Wang Zhichen said unyieldingly: "It is said that Mr. Chen's calligraphy is excellent, and Wang admires it very much."
Wang Zhichen's meaning is very clear. Chen Ao this time is just a trick. His running script is so powerful that he is naturally much more clever than others to distinguish the authenticity of running script.
So, they were not convinced.
Don’t accept it? Chen Ao’s treatment is not to accept it. If you don’t accept it, the best way is to completely defeat their confidence and make them feel ashamed!
Want to play? He is so arrogant and proud to accompany him to the end!
Chen Ao smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Wang said it well, so let's continue to appreciate it. This time, let's treat it as a warm-up, let's continue to come."
He is generous, but this kind of magnanimity is like a gift from the strong to the weak!
Chen Ao sat down with a fan, not taking the three of them seriously at all, and deliberately looked up at the beam of the room!
Khan, the eldest prince is the eldest prince, and the beams of the hall are all made of good yew trees and red paint. Unfortunately, it’s a pity that such a good wood...
I'm a little distracted, so I can't be proud! Be reserved! First step on these three annoying guys to death and then consider the issue of wood!
At this time, another waiter brought an antique. This time it was a porcelain bottle. The style of this porcelain bottle was pretty good. I don’t know if it was well maintained, but I couldn’t see too much ancient style.
The three kings and ministers looked at each other with concentration, but Chen Ao did not dare to neglect them, so he looked at them carefully.
The craftsmanship of this porcelain bottle is good. The body is thicker and the body is slightly darker and darker. The glaze layer is thick and uniform, and it is blue-gray.
Chen Ao immediately determined that this should be a craft from the Jin Dynasty, because before that, the manufacturing process of porcelain was relatively simple, and it was absolutely impossible to make such porcelain bottles.
Looking at the texture on the porcelain bottle, Chen Ao can almost conclude that this should be an antique from Yue Kiln in the Western Jin Dynasty. The texture of Yue Kiln has always had its own characteristics, which other porcelain kilns do not have.
As for the authenticity of the porcelain bottle, Chen Ao knew it clearly and smiled: "The porcelain bottles of the Yue Kiln in the Western Jin Dynasty are indeed durable. After hundreds of years, they have not yet had any glaze or glaze peeling off. It's really rare!"
The spectators were shocked again, or in just a moment, Chen Ao had determined the authenticity and origin of the porcelain bottle. The speed was beyond everyone's expectations.
The king and the other two suddenly regained their senses. In fact, they also suspected that this was a porcelain vase from the Western Jin Dynasty. It was difficult to determine the authenticity for a while, and they were also looking for the details of which kiln this porcelain vase was burned from the details. At this moment, seeing that Chen Ao had blurted out its origin, the three of them were shocked, and their confidence just now hit him without a trace.
They were still unwilling to give up and continued to look at the porcelain bottle. With Chen Ao's guidance just now, their identification speed was much faster. Wang Zhichen first straightened his waist, looked at Chen Ao deeply, and said bitterly: "Brother Chen is indeed unique. This time, Brother Chen won."
Chen Ao sneered: "Are you convinced?"
The minister of the king was still hesitating, and Zhou Zhongbin took the lead and said: "This time it's just your luck, why should we convince?"
He is a stubborn duck, but he is unwilling to give up and always wants to find a chance to defeat Chen Ao.
Chen Ao laughed and said, "Okay, come on, bring all those antiques, and today I will teach you your eyes until you accept it."
The spectators didn't know what mysterious Chen Ao was trying to make, but the look at Chen Ao at this moment was a little different from now on. How many skills does Chen Ao have? Running script is said to be a master. He was the Imperial College and the Imperial College in the first exam. Now he can appraise treasures again. As long as ordinary people are proficient in such skills, it is already very amazing, but Chen Ao is proficient in everything!
