"Students, Teacher Shen's open class is over today! Everyone, please leave."
Gu Ziming waved to the students.
"As for the contest between Teacher Shen and Student Ye that you are concerned about, who loses and who wins! Whether this Jianzhan is real or fake, you will know the answer later!"
The students stood up and looked at Gu Ziming, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Professor Gu, isn't this bad? Teacher Shen and Senior Ye have already had a public competition just now. Why are we being asked to avoid it now? Is it because Teacher Shen lost this round again?"
"Afraid that she will be embarrassed?"
Shen Yanni's face was as pale as paper and her whole body was shaking.
Gu Ziming was speechless and didn't know how to explain.
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "Juniors and girls, please disperse. You will all know the specific results in a while. If you put yourself in your shoes, whoever made the first mistake, I will point it out to you in public. Accepted."
"If I point out a second mistake, will you still tolerate it?"
"I competed with Teacher Shen this time just because I was in a hurry. The knowledge that Teacher Shen has learned is so profound that it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes."
"As for me, I only learn how to identify authenticity, and I am more specialized in my business than she is!"
"We both specialize in karma, but that doesn't mean I'm stronger than her! If we go to archeology, Teacher Shen can lead the team, but I can only help her!"
All the students were stunned. Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed.
Shen Yanni looked at Ye Zhiqiu in disbelief. Unexpectedly, he actually said good things for her.
Gu Ziming and Wang Xitai also looked at Ye Zhiqiu in great surprise and nodded. At his age, it was very rare for him to consider issues from the other's perspective.
Shen Yanni glanced at Ye Zhiqiu again, and all the previous unhappiness and resentment were wiped away. In fact, when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't blame him for what happened in the past. It was her own fault.
On the contrary, Ye Zhiqiu helped himself up in the mud at that time. Instead of being grateful, he repaid kindness with hatred.
When she thought about it, she felt very ashamed, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered: "Classmate Ye, where did I go wrong?"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything, and pointed at the foot of the oil drop cup.
Shen Yanni's eyes widened, but she still didn't find any flaws.
Ye Zhiqiu's fingers lightly scratched the exposed body.
"Teacher Shen, haven't you noticed that the color of the carcass below is slightly different from the color above?"
Shen Yanni observed carefully. If she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't be able to detect it at all. The unglazed outer wall is black mud-colored on the top and a bit light white on the bottom.
If you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be some traces of adhesion.
Shen Yanni was shocked: "Are these two parts spliced together?"
Her pretty face was extremely red, and she felt ashamed. As an archeology professor, she didn't even notice such an obvious flaw.
"The upper part of this kiln oil dripping lamp is indeed an object from the Northern Song Dynasty!"
Ye Zhiqiu spoke slowly.
"But the lower part was spliced together by later generations during the Jin Dynasty!"
"It should be that this jianzhan has been damaged and only the upper part is left. It was accidentally obtained by later generations of Jin people. They knew that it was a priceless treasure, but it was seriously damaged and was worthless at all."
"So, I found a skilled craftsman and used special methods to re-fire a foot for it! This is how I made such a jianzhan that is half real and fake!"
Gu Ziming looked at Ye Zhiqiu in shock and inexplicable.
"Classmate Ye, how do you know the authenticity just by looking at the appearance?"
"When I got this Jianzhan, I thought it was real at first! Later, I used various instruments and equipment to test it. It took three days to find out that it was a spliced product from later generations!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "Professor Gu, treasure appraisal is the same as traditional Chinese medicine, which has the four steps of 'looking, smelling, asking, and examining'. However, most appraisers now have lost these skills."
"Only some superficial observations are left, and then various advanced instruments are used to detect it!"
"I'm sorry, please awaken some of your 'sniffing' skills!"
"Antique cultural relics from various dynasties and generations all carry the smell of their era. Most people can't smell it! However, I can vaguely smell some!"
Wang Xitai and Gu Ziming were both shocked.
"Classmate Ye, you actually know those lost treasure-appraisal skills?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "It's not that I know it, I just know it somewhat! Maybe I have a talent in this area!"
"As long as you understand a little bit, this is a rare ability!" Gu Ziming pressed Ye Zhiqiu's shoulders excitedly.
"What a rare genius! Mr. Li told me yesterday, but I didn't quite believe it! I didn't expect that there really is a monster genius like you!"
"Do you know Mr. Li?" Ye Zhiqiu reacted immediately as soon as he spoke. No wonder Gu Ziming was very kind to him before the competition started.
Wang Xitai also smiled and said: "I was on the phone with Mr. Li yesterday, and he suddenly mentioned classmate Ye's name. I was a little curious. I didn't expect to see him today! He is indeed well-deserved!"
"Mr. Li is so ridiculous!" Ye Zhiqiu said modestly.
Gu Ziming smiled and said: "It's definitely not ridiculous! I'm afraid there aren't even ten people in the country who know a little bit about the treasure appraisal skills left by our ancestors!"
He turned to look at his proud disciple Shen Yanni and said, "Yanni, porcelain is your strong point. You shouldn't make such stupid mistakes! You will have to work harder in the future!"
Shen Yanni was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said, "Teacher, disciple, please keep this in mind! You will never be so careless again!"
She looked at Ye Zhiqiu with gratitude on her face.
If Ye Zhiqiu had pointed it out in public just now, he would have lost even more completely in the second game.
Do you want to apologize to Ye Zhiqiu?
Even if I acted rogue and didn't apologize, but I made such a big fool of myself in front of so many classmates, it would be impossible for me to be a teacher again in the future!
"Classmate Ye, thank you for saving face for me, I can't thank you enough!" Shen Yanni bowed deeply and said sincerely.
"It was Teacher Shen's fault in the past. I shouldn't have deliberately targeted you or made trouble for you. I hope you won't take it to heart! Forgive Teacher Shen!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Teacher Shen, it's just a trivial matter, it's long gone! Why are you bringing it up?"
He had thought clearly just now. He had defeated Shen Yanni on the spot. She was a woman who was thin-skinned after all. She was disgraced in front of many classmates. Not only would she no longer be able to be a teacher, she would probably be hit hard and have a psychological shadow.
No one could guarantee whether something unexpected would happen, so he did not point out her mistake in front of his classmates.
Shen Yanni lowered her head again and said, "It's because Teacher Shen is not good at studying and his skills are indeed not as good as those of Classmate Ye! I'm willing to give up!"
