Chapter 354

After all this time, the person she was looking for was here.

Jin Chaochao remained calm, let go of Bo Ling, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for asking about your personal affairs. I apologize!"

Bo Ling spoke awkwardly, "No need to apologize, it's...it's okay!"

Bo Ji smiled and said, "Don't mind, Miss Jin. He has been like this since he was a child. He stutters and doesn't speak very well. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Jin Chaochao smiled with curved eyebrows, and she looked like a completely different person from when she was glaring at Bo Ji just now, "Young Master Bo is really good at speaking."

Bo Ji felt very happy when he was praised.

Being praised by the distinguished guests of the Zhang family is equivalent to being praised by the elders of the Zhang family.

Zhang Jingyuan then introduced other people to Jin Chaochao.

At this time, she no longer had the heart to listen.

After a while, everyone arrived at the exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall here covers a very large area, and there are countless cultural relics and antiques displayed on the shelves.

There is a sign hanging at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which states that 98 percent of these antiques are high-quality fakes.

At this banquet, each person can choose three antiques, and the one with the highest value can win the first prize in the appreciation meeting.

Jin Chaochao looked at the room full of antiques. There were no less than tens of thousands of items here.

Big and small, calligraphy and paintings, jade and porcelain ornaments, and boxes... at a glance, there's no end in sight.

Zhang Jingyuan turned around and smiled at Jin Chaochao, "Miss Jin, I'm very sorry. Grandpa said that you can't attend this appreciation meeting."

Jin Chaochao raised an eyebrow, "Why? I'm a guest!"

Bo Ji also spoke up for Jin Chaochao, "Yes! Isn't your grandfather obviously targeting the distinguished guest?"

Zhang Jingyuan explained bluntly: "She may have more authentic works than the fakes in our house. If you come on stage, how can others play?"

Jin Chaochao: “…”

Wu Qing laughed out loud, "Our young lady can't participate, so can I participate?"

"You can!" said Zhang Jingyuan.

Wu Qing laughed out loud, "Miss, I have learned a lot from you. Wait for me for a while and I will get you the first prize."

Si Mingye was also eager to try, "Sister, I can finally use the knowledge I learned."

Especially Sheng Ying, her face was full of excitement, "Master, you really made the right decision to bring me here this time."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Jingyuan immediately stared at him, "Since you are Miss Jin's apprentice, you can't participate."

Sheng Ying: “This is not fair!”

"It would be unfair to others if you were allowed to participate." Zhang Jingyuan coughed, "I'll make the decision. After the appreciation meeting is over, you can choose three antiques from the banquet hall to take away."

"That's more like it..." Sheng Ying hadn't finished speaking.

Jin Chaochao raised her hand to interrupt him, "Don't make trouble, Miss Zhang is right, you are my apprentice, so you don't need to participate."

Zhang Jingyuan clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Miss Jin, please go ahead. I have something else to do and will come to you later. You must remember that even if you recognize the real thing, you cannot tell others. If someone cheats, this appreciation meeting will be meaningless."

"I understand!" Jin Chaochao nodded at her.

Zhang Jingyuan pulled Bo Ji away.

The others also dispersed.

Sheng Ying followed behind Jin Chaochao, pouting, "Master, why don't you let me join?"

"You are my apprentice. If you choose the wrong antique, I will lose face. If you don't participate, there will be no loss of face."

Sheng Ying listened to the master's impolite words and was so angry that she almost bit her cheeks. "After all, I have followed you for so long and have restored so many cultural relics. I can tell the authenticity of antiques at a glance."

"What you have learned is irrelevant. There is still a lot to learn in the future." Jin Chaochao took him into the hall.

Sheng Ying complained, "At least I am still an authority in calligraphy, painting and porcelain appraisal."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have found the job of appraising treasures at Gubaozhai.

Jin Chaochao patted his shoulder and said, "Learn with an open mind and talk less."

Because the treasure appraisal meeting has not yet begun, all the cultural relics can only be viewed from a distance.

Jin Chaochao walked along and saw several authentic works, all placed in inconspicuous corners.

To be able to find the original among so many high-quality imitations and fakes requires a keen eye.

She thought that the Zhang family's appreciation conference was very interesting.

Si Mingye was very young, but he walked back and forth in front of the counter. He stared at the antiques and thought every one of them looked real.

At this moment, he found a brother standing next to him, staring at a blue and white porcelain not far away.

"Brother, do you think that is true?" Si Mingye asked curiously.

Bo Ling ignored Si Mingye. His dark eyes were like obsidian, staring straight at the blue and white porcelain.

People around were discussing the blue and white porcelain on the shelf. "There are hundreds of blue and white porcelains, and one of them must be real."

"Everyone can choose three pieces, and the winner will be determined by their value. If you can choose a blue and white porcelain, you may have a chance to win first place."

After all, the value of three pieces chosen by some people is not as valuable as one piece of blue and white porcelain.

In fact, most people are just joining in the fun.

Among the two or three hundred guests, only a few dozen were interested in antiques, and only a few were truly capable.

Si Mingye saw that the little brother next to him ignored him.

He turned around and ran to Jin Chaochao, "Sister, can you give me some hints?"

Jin Chaochao patted his head, "No! This part of the appreciation meeting is to give some talented young people a chance, you can't mess around."

Si Mingye pouted and looked at Sheng Ying.

Sheng Ying coughed and said, "I am the master's apprentice. I behave properly and behave properly. How can I help you cheat?"

Si Mingye sighed in frustration, "Okay, I'll go and see for myself."

He returned to the shelf where the blue and white porcelain was placed and found Bo Ling still standing there motionless.

But at this moment, there was another person beside him.

"Have you made up your mind? Which one is real?" Bo Ji coughed and whispered in his ear.

Bo Ling pointed at the third big-bellied blue-and-white porcelain in the second row on the shelf, "It!"

Si Mingye looked in the direction of Ji Ling's finger and his brows immediately lit up with joy.

Wow, this turns out to be true.

Just now his sister forbade him to cheat, but this Bo Ji actually wanted to cheat.

Fun!

Bo Ji lowered his head and spoke to Bo Ling again in a low voice, "Okay, go and look at something else. I'll take that bottle when the appreciation meeting starts. If you're wrong, I won't forgive you when we get back."

Their voices were so low that Bo Ji thought no one else could hear them.

But who is Si Mingye? He has been raised by Jin Chaochao for more than half a year. He has sharp ears and eyes, and because of the demon fragments, he is different from ordinary people.

Si Mingye heard their entire conversation.

Bo Ling turned and disappeared into the crowd.

Si Mingye crossed his arms, stroked his chin and thought for a long time.

At this time, he happened to see Wu Qing walking towards him from not far away.

He walked forward, took Wu Qing's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, I know which blue and white porcelain is a real antique. Just listen to me, and I guarantee you will win later."
