Liu Siyun looked very unwell.
This jade disc is fake; it's not jade at all.
But it possesses all the characteristics of jade!
What exactly happened?
At this moment, she is very distressed.
Although she knew the jade disc was fake, she couldn't say it!
She couldn't very well tell others that she could sense Yu Xin, could she?
This was taught to him by Lin Yu, but it cannot be used as a basis for judgment to convince others.
For a moment, she was stumped!
Koji Kameda smirked, glanced at the incense burner, and reminded her, "Miss Liu, the time for one incense stick to burn is almost up, you'd better hurry!"
Liu Siyun couldn't help but bite her lips and subconsciously looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu shook his head slightly, but could not speak; he could only encourage her with his eyes.
Encouraged by Lin Yu, Liu Siyun's heart gradually calmed down, and she picked up the jade disc again to think carefully.
This game is about the survival of the Liu family, and even more so about the glory of their ancestors. She absolutely cannot admit defeat!
Time passed slowly, and the last wisp of incense ash burned out completely.
"Time's up!"
Koji Kameda sneered, "Miss Liu, it's time for you to give your answer!"
Liu Siyun raised her head, her eyes flickered for a moment, and said calmly, "This isn't jade, it's stone! So, it's fake!"
Not jade?
No one expected that Liu Siyun would give such an answer.
Those present were all veterans of the antique world; they could still distinguish between stones and jade.
Judging from the appearance of this jade disc, it perfectly matches all the characteristics of jade. How can it be called a stone?
Koji Kameda sneered from the side, "Miss Liu, the texture of this jade disc is very obvious. It is top-quality Hetian jade. How can you call it a stone? That's ridiculous!"
Liu Siyun shook her head. "It is indeed a kind of stone, and it is very rare. It looks just like Hetian jade! Its name is 'Xiu'!"
show?
Everyone was stunned again.
This answer is too amazing. Nobody has ever heard of a stone called 'show'.
When Koji Kameda heard this name, he was shocked and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
This look of shock was fleeting, but Liu Siyun keenly caught it!
Originally, she was just guessing, but judging from the other party's behavior, she was probably right!
Thinking of this, she held the jade disc in her hand, walked towards the crowd, and spoke eloquently, "Xiu is a very beautiful stone, rarely mentioned in the antique world, but it is frequently recorded in ancient poems and texts. The Shuowen Jiezi (说文解字) describes it as a stone resembling jade. The Boya (博雅) says that Xiu resembles beautiful jade. The Book of Songs (诗经) mentions 'Xiuying' (琇莹) for earrings. The commentary (传) says that Xiuying is a beautiful stone. These ancient texts all describe Xiu as having a beauty like jade! Therefore, I am quite certain that this Warring States period jade is the legendary Xiu!"
The group looked at each other, unsure how to respond.
Even the elders of Guanzhong thought Liu Siyun was talking nonsense with a straight face!
Koji Kameda couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Miss Liu, are you making this up? We don't agree with your reasoning. We can't just say this jade is some kind of 'xiu' based on your own words! You need to provide a convincing reason!"
Liu Siyun nodded and continued, "As a stone, Xiu is described in ancient texts as being like uncut jade, possessing all the characteristics of jade. However, since it is a stone, it must have some unique features in its structure! First of all, it has good light transmission and a loose texture. According to poems, Xiu's most prominent feature is that it can float on water! So, just bring a basin of water, and you can prove that what I'm saying is true!"
Wow!
The crowd erupted in excitement once again.
The stone floats on the water?
This is unheard of!
This completely violates the laws of physics!
At this moment, Liu Zhongyi's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, fetch a basin of water!"
The Liu family did as instructed and quickly brought over a basin of clean water.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Siyun slowly placed the jade disc into the water.
However, at this moment, her heart was pounding.
Because all of the above are just her guesses, she is not sure if the jade disc will definitely float on the water!
She looked at Lin Yu, who nodded and smiled, giving her an approving look.
Liu Siyun seemed greatly encouraged and finally let go of his hand.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The jade disc rippled gently in the water and eventually floated on the surface!
"It really floated!"
"That really is Xiu!"
"This is amazing! I've really learned something new today. I never thought there were actually stones like this!"
Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
Clearly, the Liu family won this round!
Liu Siyun said smugly, "Mr. Kameda, what do you have to say now?"
Koji Kameda's face was terribly gloomy, and he said with a forced smile, "There's one last round, Miss Liu, don't get too excited yet!"
He strode over and abruptly ripped off the last white cloth.
Then, a pale green Ru ware brush washer slowly came into view.
"Ru ware! What a fine piece!"
"This...it feels like the door is wide open!"
"Yes, yes! There's nothing wrong with its condition!"
The crowd began to discuss it.
At this moment, Lin Yu and Liu Siyun's expressions were particularly interesting.
Liu Siyun couldn't help but look at Lin Yu.
Yesterday she jokingly asked Lin Yu if he could tell if this brush washer was real or fake if he came across it.
Even Lin Yu himself was vague in his answer.
