Chapter 113: The honest and loyal Chen Ao

As soon as Chen Ao finished speaking, a sneer came from the hall, and then he saw someone standing up slowly and said, "What an arrogant boy, I want to see your appreciation skills." After that, he stroked his beard and walked over.

Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Dare you ask who you are?"

The man smiled and said, "Deng Wenchang, Minister of Works."

Minister of Works?

This is equivalent to a senior official at the level of deputy minister. It seems that the Taixue is so young that there is no way out, so the old men stood up and squeezed the crowd.

Is this considered bullying the small by the big?

It’s just that the big bullies the small, or it’s hard to say whether it’s the small bullies!

Chen Ao bowed to Deng Wenchang and said, "Students have met Lord Deng."

Abuse is arrogance, respecting the elderly is a must. This is a traditional virtue; otherwise, if it is spread outside, it is said that the family tutoring of the Duke’s Mansion is not good!

Deng Wenchang said with a face: "You'll be rude. You just said that there is no one in the Imperial Academy. Today I will compete with you. How about it?"

Deng Wenchang has been studying in Imperial College for more than 20 years and has developed a calm and clear-headed personality. If Chen Ao hadn't been too crazy just now, he would never have stood up!

This is related to the reputation of the Imperial Academy. Although Deng Wenchang has already been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, there is one thing that cannot be denied. He was born in the Imperial Academy and was bullied by others, and Deng Wenchang would also be underestimated.

Chen Ao stood up straight and swayed and said, "Since the adults want to compare, the students dare not refuse. To show their respect for the adults, it is better for the students to let Lord Deng appreciate it first."

Deng Wenchang is also a very good antique. He has been playing with it for half his life and is slightly famous among his colleagues, so he has the courage to stand up. At this time, when Chen Ao said he wanted to give in, he suddenly became angry. Does this kid look down on him?

Humph, OK! Today I need to see the power of this ignorant boy.

Deng Wenchang didn't roll around in the officialdom. Since he stood up, he wouldn't hit the gun like a young man, and it was not his turn to do the mine work; since he challenged Chen Ao, he was naturally somewhat confident. He smiled slightly and said happily: "Young Master Chen, you don't have to be polite, but since we have to compare, why not change a more interesting method?"

Deng Wenchang paused and said, "I happened to bring a treasure today. Please take a look at Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen can guess its origin, I will admit defeat. What?" He smiled and looked very loyal.

If a person is not treacherous and abusive, if he doesn't even have such a dark mind, wouldn't he live to a dog at such age?

Deng Wenchang thought proudly: "I am a corporal in the rank of the court, are you still afraid that this kid will not fall into the trap? Then I will take out the treasure and make sure to make him embarrassed."

Chen Ao's heart was terrified, and he was about to play with his own wickedness. He smiled happily, and in the blink of an eye, he became very loyal and said enthusiastically: "I wonder what treasure is the lord bringing?"

When the spectators saw Deng Wenchang's confident look, many of them were secretly worried about Chen Ao, and some were related to the Imperial Academy, but they were happy in their hearts and wanted to see what the treasure Deng Wenchang mentioned was.

Deng Wenchang slowly pulled into his sleeves, then took out a piece of jade, smiled and said, "Please taste it by Mr. Chen."

When everyone saw it, they immediately shouted in their hearts that Lord Deng really did not let down the name of sinisterness. Wow, it’s so shameless!

However, Lord Deng is also very smart and can come up with such a dirty way!

It turned out that what Deng Wenchang took out was an inconspicuous jade. The reason why this jade was different was that it was inconspicuous. I don’t know which thing had no anus was dug from the grave, and then it was transferred to Deng Wenchang’s hand. The whole jade, which was buried underground all year round, was often eroded by the soil, and had various colors and dark colors. If you don’t look closely, I’m afraid many people would think it was just an ordinary stone.

As we all know, most of the newly unearthed old jade has been eroded by soil or tombs for hundreds or thousands of years, with various color sprays. However, these sprays are not perfect in terms of color, but instead make the ancient jade appear very dark and rough. Therefore, after this ancient jade is unearthed, it is difficult to distinguish its material and age after being wrapped in many impurities and leather.

Some people also buy this ancient jade at a low price and keep it for many years. Only when the old jade returns to its former warmth, pure and thickness and is smooth and smooth, can they draw its origin from it.

Even if ancient jade has the most beautiful color mask, if it is not cured, the color of the jade will be hidden and not obvious, and the color of the jade will be even less visible. If the jade nature does not return, it will be like an ordinary stubborn stone. On the surface, the color is dark and yellow without any luster. How can such ancient jade be identified with the naked eye?

Deng Wenchang gave Shen Ao a super problem. This jade pendant is indeed an antique, but if someone wants to identify the material and origin of such an old jade, I am afraid that no one present can do it.

The so-called appreciation is nothing more than three ways: one is touch, the second is inspection, and the second is tongue licking; and the old jade is covered with a layer of skin, and no matter whether it is touch, inspection, or tongue licking, there is no way to face this old jade.

Therefore, there is almost no feasible way to identify this old jade for the admirers of this era.

The moment Deng Wenchang smiled and took out the old jade, many people couldn't help but shake their heads and thought secretly that Shen Ao had no choice but to admit defeat this time.

Tang Yan was furious when he watched in the wing room. Deng Wenchang was so shameless that he was so shameless that he brought out the old jade to ask Shen Ao to appreciate it. Mr. Shen was too honest and was fooled by him.

In front of everyone, Shen Ao took the old jade and smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Deng is a elegant man. I don't know where this old jade was found?"

Of course Deng Wenchang would not say that, for fear that Shen Ao would guess the origin of the old jade from clues, he quickly shook his head and said, "It was just given by a friend. I was planning to keep it for a few years. Mr. Shen must know its authenticity, right?"

Shen Aohe nodded: "Okay, I'll give you some appreciation."

When Shen Ao nodded, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet. They were too real and too loyal. Why did Mr. Shen still look arrogant just now? He suddenly seemed to have changed his own person again. Anyone could tell that this was Deng Wenchang's trick. Shen Ao was proficient in the appreciation of antiques. Can't he even see this?

There were also some people who watched coldly, and they sneered in their hearts. The younger generation is the younger generation. Lord Deng took action and played with him in applause. Let's see how he ended.

Everyone had different expressions. On the contrary, Zhao Ji, who was looking down with the window in the wing room, was insane and poked out his head, but the official's majesty could not be cared about.

Today's treasure appraisal was so wonderful that he was overwhelmed. Seeing Deng Wenchang posed a problem for Chen Ao, Chen Ao agreed immediately, and couldn't help but think: "Can Chen Ao really identify this old jade?"

After arousing interest, he had the desire to continue watching; Zhao Ji was already intoxicated at this moment and wanted to see if there was really someone in the world who could identify the old jade.

Just when everyone was ulterior motives, Chen Aoerya smiled and played with the old jade in his hand for a moment, then said to the human, "Who can make a basin of water for me?"

Everyone was stunned. What should I do if I appreciate jade artifacts?

This is something that has never been heard of. However, after Chen Ao opened his mouth, everyone wanted to see what method he used to identify the old jade, so several people immediately urged the waiter beside him: "Go and get water for Mr. Chen."

At this time, the battle between the Imperial College and the Imperial College eased suddenly, and even Deng Wenchang was thinking: "Can he really identify this old jade? Just see what method he can use!"

Just by this change of thought, Deng Wenchang's thoughts of teaching Chen Ao a lesson gradually faded, and his mind was to see what mysterious Chen Ao was preparing to make.

After a while, the eunuch, the chief eunuch in charge of the emperor, brought a basin of water. Chen Ao put the old jade on the table, carefully soaked some water with his hands, and then placed his fingers above the old jade. The water droplet dripped along the tips of his fingers and fell on the old jade.

Chen Ao's eyes carefully began to observe the water droplets on the old jade, then breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and said, "The old jade is not a fake."

Deng Wenchang was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask, "How can I see it?"

Chen Ao said: "It is very simple to identify the authenticity of old jade. I use the water drop method. If the water droplets are dripping on the old jade, it will be real jade if it is dewdrop shape and does not dissipate for a long time. If the water droplet disappears quickly, it will be a fake. Please see, this water droplet is still in the shape of dewdrops and cannot dissipate for a long time, so it will never be forged."

Water Drop Method? Many people leaned over and looked at the water droplets on the old jade, but they felt puzzled. They had heard of many identification methods, but the water Drop Method was unheard of. They just didn’t know how Chen Ao learned about this method!

Chen Ao smiled calmly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can find a fake old jade, and you'll know it after a try."

The first time everyone had heard of such an appraisal technique, they were immediately excited. As Chen Ao said, today's treasure appraisal meeting was really good, so they went to find a fake one and drip it on. Sure enough, the water droplet quickly dissipated, and many people were amazed and said, "The water droplet really dissipated."

The hall suddenly became lively, but there were also whispers in the wing room on the second floor. Many people wished they could go downstairs immediately to find out.

But the official family didn't speak, so who dared to go on as he pleased? Therefore, although everyone was itchy in their hearts, they had to keep staying on the second floor honestly.

Just as everyone was amazed, Chen Ao picked up the old jade again, put it in his hand and weighed it gently, muttering a few strange words in his mouth, what quality is about 300 grams, etc. Suddenly, Chen Ao smiled calmly again and said, "Get a knife!"

Chen Ao's words were full of energy, but he was very heroic. When he looked up, he saw that everyone was stunned. Then he remembered that what he said just now seemed to have a little bit of a criminal tendency.

Khan, I just took a knife. Why do I look at me like this? Are you afraid that I will kill someone?

Chen Ao looked at them contemptuously. These scumbags with only five combat power would need to use a knife to kill them?

"It's okay to find a sharp blade that is one foot square." Chen Ao couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to look like he had no violent intentions.

"Have a knife?"

Everyone was stunned again. Could it be that they used a knife to identify the old jade?

This is strange. Where can I use a knife to identify antiques in the world?

However, Chen Ao's actions just now convinced many people. Someone immediately brought a small dagger and handed it to Shen Ao. Chen Ao touched the dagger, which was very sharp. Then he pressed the ancient jade on the table and gently chopped the ancient jade with the dagger.

Deng Wenchang hurriedly said, "Young Master Chen, if the ancient jade is damaged, what else can I appreciate?"

Chen Ao was almost cut, and raised his eyes to Deng Wenchang and said, "Have I said that it would damage the ancient jade?" He picked up the ancient jade and said, "Look at it yourself, how can this jade be easily damaged."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when this sentence was said; Oh! It turns out that the material of this jade is jadeite!

But how did Chen Ao know about it?
