Yanagawa Kei straightened his back and looked arrogant. He was worthy of being a disciple he had personally trained. Look at his sharpness and momentum. He had a unique personality even when he was sitting on the steps drinking water.
"Xiao Mo, what is the first test?"
Yanagawa Kei was more curious, and the other parents also listened carefully. After all, he was the first to enter the next level of assessment.
Li Mo gave it a try and chuckled: "The test is about the realm of thought."
Several old men looked at each other confused as to what the test question was. Yanagawa Keiichi clapped his hands and said in admiration: "The test questions that professors from these three schools interviewed together are very deep."
Others suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
About ten minutes later, Lin Dong came over with a jewelry box. When he saw Li Mo sitting leisurely outside to bask in the sun, he still said with a stinky face: "It's just a fluke. The next step is to test your true talent." At that time. You were recommended by Professor Zhu for the interview, so just don’t embarrass him when the time comes."
"Assistant Lin, just do your part. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Li Mo didn't even bother to talk to him.
"Humph, so incompetent."
Li Mo was so angry that he almost choked on a mouthful of water. Why was he so incompetent?
"Why are you still sitting there stupidly? Professor Zhu told you to go in." Lin Dong's attitude was not good, and his pertinence became more and more obvious.
"Xiao Mo, let's bear with it." Yanagawa Kei initially had a gentle attitude, but now he was angered by Lin Dong's inexplicable hostility. He still managed to hold back his anger when he thought about his relationship with Professor Zhu.
After enduring the calm for a while, Li Mo silently chanted a few times in his mind to return to normal.
The atmosphere in the classroom was much more relaxed. Li Mo sat back in his chair. The boy next to him with acne on his face and thick glasses whispered: "Brother, the topic of the test later is Jade Debate. Here is the answer sheet." and pen.”
"Thanks."
"I should thank you, otherwise I would have been embarrassed just now."
Li Mo smiled softly. He had raised his hand the most joyfully just now and almost jumped up impulsively to be the first to speak.
"We work together."
Lin Dong and another assistant had prepared three long tables. After laying the tablecloths, they took out pieces of jade from several boxes at their feet. There were ten pieces in total, with different shapes and colors.
"Dear students, this second level is jade identification. What you have to do is to judge the type of jade and the style of jade based on what you have learned. Of course, there are also imitation jade, so you have to distinguish between real and fake jade at the same time. Jade does not need to be appraised. I would also like to remind everyone that, except for high imitations, the rest are used by us at Beijing University for academic research and are valuable, so you must be careful."
This is a test of real basic skills. Of course, jade parsing is not something everyone is good at. Li Mo is best at porcelain, antiques and miscellaneous items. He can only be said to be involved in jade, calligraphy and painting, but he cannot be said to be proficient.
Fortunately, this test only tested common sense, so it was much easier for him.
The nine people began to act separately and began to appraise the jade articles respectively.
The first jade item Li Mo picked up was a hairpin. His face dropped as soon as he bought it. It was imitation jade, but the shape was exquisite and there were obvious signs of distress.
I put down the hairpin and picked up the second piece of jade. It was a toad. I only looked at it for a few times and then put it down in disappointment. It was another piece of imitation jade. The shot was not smooth, and two items in a row were fake.
He turned around and looked at the others. They were all concentrating on identifying the jade in their hands and writing something on the answer sheet from time to time.
After about three minutes, someone completed the appraisal and exchanged places with Li Mo.
"This jade is of good quality." Li Mo thought it was good at first sight, but as soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately wanted to curse. Did those who asked the questions want to trick people? The third piece turned out to be imitation jade. The boy who did the appraisal just now drew a circle and wrote a lot of content, so he must be treating it as a genuine product.
After Li Mo got hold of the fourth, fifth, and sixth jade objects, he turned to look at the professors who were communicating in low voices, and made a preliminary judgment in his mind.
In about half an hour, Li Mo had already passed through ten pieces of jade, and his heart was a little broken. These professors actually had childlike innocence and had played with them for so long.
Li Mo then thought about it and thought that he was not a master of jade identification after all, or that he might have made a mistake. To be on the safe side, he pretended to scratch his forehead with his right hand. His eyes passed over ten jade articles with his strange eyes, but there was no reaction.
They are definitely all imitation jade. This is definitely a big hole dug by the professors. I don’t know if Lin Dong knows the truth. Those words at the beginning were solemn and precise, which made everyone nervous, for fear of accidentally bumping into each other. Jade.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the answers were submitted. Li Mo also worked very hard and stayed with everyone for half an hour.
Lin Dong collected all the answer sheets and glanced at Li Mo with disdain when he saw Li Mo's answer.
The three professors looked through everyone's identification results one after another, and saw nothing unusual on their faces.
"Professor Zhu, you should make the announcement."
Zhu Changping then looked meaningfully in Li Mo's direction and said, "Those whose names are called will take part in a temporary additional test."
Are there any additional test questions?
"Li Mo, Zheng Guanluo, Hu Zhiqiang, Zheng Qi and Li Xiaolin."
The remaining four people looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what this meant. The situation seemed a bit bad.
Lin Dong carefully placed the box in his hand on the table and opened it so that everyone could see the contents.
"Each person will have a maximum of two minutes. Li Mo will start first." Lin Dong looked at Li Mo with a little more fear. He vaguely guessed that he might have made a wrong judgment on the ten jade articles, because the five people who were added to the test They are the top five companies with the largest number of imitation jade identified.
Li Mo approached and saw a jade chan lying in the box. Just as he was about to reach out and take it out, his nose suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. The scent was very special, which made him hesitate and retract his right hand, then pick up the box and observe it carefully.
The cicada body, cicada wings, and cicada eyes became more and more shocked as they looked at it. I couldn't help but look at it with my special pupils, and saw that the jade chanter was emitting a pale white halo from its body. This showed that the carving was completed very recently, about ten years or so. But the aperture has forty or fifty stops, which represents considerable artistic achievement and value.
This is the level of carving by a great master, and it comes from the hands of a generation of famous masters.
Li Mo put down the box gently and took a few steps back, with a look of admiration on his face.
Since it is an additional test question, this Yuchan must be somewhat famous. The other four people looked at it in turn, first to feel the delicateness of the jade, to judge the transparency of the jade against the sunlight coming in, and then to carefully observe the level of its carving.
Ten minutes later, all five people had their own judgments.
"There is no need to rush to answer additional test questions. You can say whatever comes to mind. Others have already said it. If you have anything to add, you can also speak." Professor Qing Dayu said kindly, "Before I answered, I found a strange detail. I was curious, so I want to ask classmate Li Mo a question first."
"Hello Professor Yu, what do you want to ask?"
"I noticed that when you wanted to take out the jade, you paused for a moment, then held the box with both hands and observed the jade inside. We all know that the most direct way to identify jade is to carefully feel its uniqueness. Different, but when you gave up this method at the last moment, was it absolute confidence in your own vision or a different kind of giving up?"
"I heard what Professor Yu said, and now that I think about it, it's really like this. This pause is indeed strange. I also want to hear what he has to say." Professor He gave people a serious impression, and his curiosity was aroused at this moment.
"Haha, you guys are putting a lot of pressure on Li Mo." Professor Zhu laughed, "Li Mo, just tell me."
Li Mo showed hesitation. Seeing everyone staring at him, it seemed that it would be impossible not to say anything.
"Actually, when I was close to the jade Chan, I smelled a faint aroma. This aroma is the purest, most natural, and most intoxicating aroma in the world. It should be the body fragrance of a girl. I met Lin before The assistant went out to get the box and guessed that the jade charm had just been taken off the woman's body, so there was still body fragrance on it."
"I thought that since it is a woman's personal belongings, it would be offensive and inappropriate to directly touch it, so I gave up."
There was dead silence in the classroom.
