Everyone looked at each other and felt a chill on their backs.
Wang Xitai laughed: "Dear classmates, don't take it seriously. What classmate Ye said is completely a legend! In fact, there is no such thing!"
"This is completely based on hearsay from previous generations and is far-fetched!"
"It's like the ghost stories we heard when we were kids!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Principal Wang is right! Many of the notes of the ancients can be read as unofficial history to add more interest! We still need to adhere to the materialist view of history!"
Gu Ziming and Wang Xitai looked at each other, and he spoke slowly.
"In this round, although the results of Teacher Shen and Student Ye's appraisals are very similar, Student Ye's conclusion is more accurate than Teacher Shen!"
Gu Ziming's face darkened slightly. After all, Shen Yanni was his student. He personally announced the result and always felt a little dull on his face. However, he had been rigorous in his studies all his life and now he had to seek truth from facts.
"Because of the celebrity blessing of Zhang Juzheng, this blood jade safety buckle has indeed skyrocketed by three million! Now it is nearly eleven million!"
Gu Ziming turned to look at the students in the audience and said loudly: "In this round, Student Ye won with a slight advantage!"
Shen Yanni's face instantly turned dark, and her delicate body was trembling slightly. She had always been so strong, but she didn't expect to lose the first game. Especially in front of so many students, I felt even more embarrassed.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly and smiled at Shen Yanni.
"Teacher Shen, accept!"
Shen Yanni's face became even gloomier and she said coldly.
"What are you so proud of? There are still two games to come!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "If I win the next game, I won't have to compete in the last game!"
Shen Yanni was immediately speechless.
Wang Xitai said: "Mr. Shen, you don't have to worry about it! This is just the first game. Moreover, although archeology and treasure appraisal may seem similar, there are essential differences!"
"No matter your professional knowledge, theory, or research, it is beyond comparison with treasure appraisal!"
"Those antique players, they only need to go for the market value when they are looking for treasures!"
Although Shen Yanni knew that Principal Wang was comforting her, she felt uncomfortable all over. Although Ye Zhiqiu just made a lot of fallacies, one thing he said is completely correct. The more exquisitely shaped antiques are, the more valuable they are, and the more they reflect the technological and cultural level of that era.
In turn, from the technological and cultural level of that era, we can also get a glimpse of the cultural relics of that period.
Although treasure appraisal is purely an act of quick success, the top appraisal masters in the country are also knowledgeable experts and professors.
The students below were talking a lot.
"I didn't expect that Senior Ye could really beat Professor Shen!"
"Can treasure appraisers actually outperform professional archaeologists? It's incredible!"
"You didn't know this! Treasure appraisal is the most basic project of archeology! Teacher Shen's knowledge is too profound, but he is not as good as those who pick up leaks and are only good at one subject!"
Gu Ziming waved his hand slightly, and all the students fell silent immediately.
"Teacher Shen, classmate Ye, are you going to start the second game now?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, looked at Shen Yanni, and said with a smile: "Teacher Shen, in the second round, who comes first, or me?"
Shen Yanni had a dark face and said angrily: "Since I lost the first game, let me comment on this game first! I choose the black bowl! Porcelain is my strong point!"
She stepped up to the black bowl, opened the transparent cover, and looked at it carefully.
Gu Ziming's voice slowly rose.
"A few days ago, a friend from out of town brought this to me for identification. He said it was a jianzhan used by the Northern Song Dynasty writer Mr. Dongpo during his lifetime! Take a look, is it true?"
"Mr. Su Dongpo's belongings?"
"If this were true, wouldn't it be priceless?"
All the students were talking in low voices.
Although they do not understand the specific value of cultural relics, they know that the things belonging to historical celebrities are all extremely expensive.
Shen Yanni held the tray in both hands and looked down at the black bowl.
The entire porcelain bowl is as black as ink, with a large mouth and a small bottom, shaped like a funnel; the base is shallow, the shape is simple and thick, and it feels a bit heavy in the hand.
The glaze is densely covered with silver-gray spots, like oil droplets.
Shen Yanni checked for a long time, and suddenly tapped the mouth of the bowl lightly with her fingers, as if there was a metallic sound.
She turned over the bottom of the bowl and saw that only the upper part was covered with glaze, while the lower half revealed a rough body, with some faintly visible gravel. The bottom of the bowl is engraved with the word "tribute".
Shen Yanni showed a proud smile and put down the porcelain bowl.
"This is indeed an oil dripping cup from a kiln built in the Northern Song Dynasty. As for whether it belongs to the scholar Su Shi, I'm not sure! Dongpo University had many tea sets during his lifetime, including an oil dripping cup!"
"If this oil drop lamp really belongs to Su Dongpo, it should be a gift from the emperor before he was demoted!"
"Otherwise, he, a minister, has no right to use the court's tribute!"
Shen Yanni looked at her mentor Gu Ziming with excitement.
"Teacher, there are really not many oil-drop jian kiln lamps left in our country. Although this one is not as good as the oil-drop jian kiln that is regarded as a national treasure by the island country, it is not far behind!"
"This is also a priceless treasure. Whether it has the blessing of Grand Master Dongpo or not, it doesn't affect its value! If I were to evaluate it, it is priceless!"
"Even if it cannot be rated as a first-class national treasure, it can indeed become a treasure in a museum in a certain province!"
Gu Ziming looked at Shen Yanni in surprise, then turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu next to him.
"Classmate Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the oil-dropping lamp, with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Professor Gu, do you really want me to say it?"
Gu Ziming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he saw the flaw at a glance?
When Shen Yanni saw that he looked wrong, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom and her face darkened. Could it be that something had gone wrong again?
Wang Xitai took a look at the oil-drop lamp and found nothing unusual. He was only good at jade, calligraphy and painting, and porcelain was not his strong point.
He asked in a low voice: "What? Lao Gu, Xiao Shen was wrong again?"
Gu Ziming didn't answer, looked at Shen Yanni, and said calmly: "Yanni, porcelain is the field you focus on, you shouldn't make such a stupid mistake!"
Shen Yanni's face turned pale, and she looked at the oil dripping cup again doubtfully. She really didn't realize what she had done wrong.
The students below were looking around and whispering to each other.
"So, Teacher Shen failed again?"
"It seems so. Then why don't you let us all see what's wrong?"
"Even if Teacher Shen is wrong, then Senior Ye may not be completely right! If they are both wrong, wouldn't this game be a tie?"
"I don't want Senior Ye to point out where Teacher Shen went wrong, right? Isn't it because Teacher Shen will be embarrassed? If we lose again, we will lose two games in a row!"
