Who is Murong Tianyi?
He is a genius recognized by everyone!
Zhao Hongguang actually dared to show off his intelligence in front of Murong Tianyi without considering his own abilities. Isn't that tantamount to seeking death?
He felt that Murong Tianyi was as cunning as his brother Yu.
Zhao Hongguang's face looked ugly, with anger burning in his heart, but he still smiled and accompanied Murong Tianyi. After Murong Tianyi's expression eased, he quickly changed the subject and turned his attention back to Gong Yu.
"Gong Yu, since you said this blue and white porcelain bowl is exquisitely made, how can you say it's fake?"
Gong Yu smiled lightly and continued calmly, "The reason I say this blue and white porcelain bowl is fake isn't because its craftsmanship is poor. On the contrary, it's because the craftsmanship is so good, so good it's hard to tell the real thing from the fake. Plus, this bowl is indeed from the Qing Dynasty, which makes it even harder to tell the real thing from the fake."
After Gong Yu finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar and the controversy became even louder.
"Haha," Zhang Tieyun chimed in, adding sarcastically, "I just find it funny. You've already said this bowl of mine is exquisitely crafted and is indeed from the Qing Dynasty, so what's the point of saying it's real? There can't be another object exactly like this in the world, right?"
"Yes." Gong Yu answered affirmatively.
"How is that possible?" Zhang Tieyun retorted angrily. "You little brat, do you think ancient objects are mass-produced like modern ones? Exquisite blue and white porcelain bowls like this are hand-painted by masters and are one-of-a-kind in the world."
"Indeed." Gong Yu remained unmoved and said coldly, "But this porcelain bowl of yours is just a replica from the late Qing Dynasty."
"You say this is a replica. What evidence do you have? Can you produce a so-called authentic piece? If not, then stop talking nonsense here."
Zhang Tieyun was so anxious that he chased the man away.
He had a bad feeling that if Gong Yu continued talking, the situation would become increasingly worse for him.
"What are you doing? Back off... Don't get so close to my brother Yu, okay? Be careful or I'll beat you up."
Seeing Zhang Tieyun coming forward, Zuo Yunfeng cleverly jumped in front of Gong Yu, waving his strong arms fiercely.
Zhang Tieyun took a step back, still furious. "Since you won't leave, show me the evidence. If you can't, I'll sue you for defamation and make you pay me exorbitant compensation for emotional distress."
Gong Yu patted Zuo Yunfeng on the shoulder and asked Zuo Yunfeng to step back.
"I once saw a blue and white porcelain bowl exactly like this one in the Palace Museum (Forbidden City, Beijing). Its full name is: Ming Wanli Blue and White Scripture Avalokitesvara Bowl."
"The bowls were originally used by the imperial court during the Ming Dynasty, which is why I said the obliquely cut, fine-grained jade bottom wasn't just a Qing Dynasty invention."
"The reason why this bowl is considered a replica is not only because the museum already has the original, but there is another reason..."
Having said that, Gong Yu paused, fully arousing everyone's curiosity.
She glanced indifferently at Zhang Tieyun's sullen face before continuing, "The piece in the museum is inscribed 'Made on an auspicious day in the middle of winter, the 44th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty,' but this one doesn't have that inscription."
As he spoke, Gong Yu pointed his index finger toward the outer wall.
Gong Yu's introduction was very detailed and certain, and it didn't seem fake.
"Boss Zhang just said that ancient porcelain is unique, right?"
