Chapter 355
Wu Qing blinked her big eyes and shook her head decisively: "This is not good. We have to rely on our own abilities. If we cheat, we will only embarrass our master."
Si Mingye rolled his eyes, "Others can cheat, so why can't we? I don't care. If others cheat, I can use my wisdom to pick up the loopholes, which is also a skill."
Wu Qing patted his shoulder, not taking him seriously at all, "Master, go and have fun by yourself!"
Seeing that Wu Qing was not cooperating at all.
Si Mingye raised the corner of his mouth, looking unhappy, but he soon had a new idea.
Yuandian saw Si Mingye from a distance.
He walked up to greet him, "Why are you alone? Where's your sister?"
Si Mingye explained with a smile, "Sister will not participate in today's antique appreciation event. She is resting over there. Brother, can you do me a favor?"
Yuandian raised an eyebrow, "What do you want me to do?"
Si Mingye took his hand and walked to the blue and white porcelain display case, pointed at the vase on the shelf, and whispered in his ear: "I want that vase. When the appreciation meeting starts later, you will be the first to register for me."
Yuandian raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure that's not a fake?"
"Yes!" Si Mingye said in a firm tone.
He looked back and found that Bo Ji had found Bo Ling again and the two were talking about something.
He instructed Yuandian, "No matter what, you must register this bottle for me as soon as possible."
"OK!" Yuan Dian said with a smile, "I guarantee that the task will be completed."
"Brother is so nice!" Si Mingye said this while his eyes were already fixed on Bo Ling.
Before Yuandian could respond, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
Calligraphy and painting area.
Hundreds of calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls, and the area was packed with people.
Si Mingye relied on his childhood to squeeze through the crowd, and soon he got next to Bo Ji.
The surroundings were filled with the sound of lively discussions. Bo Ji stood beside Bo Ling and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Bo Ling stood straight, looking back and forth at the calligraphy and painting, paying close attention to the position of the seal, the handwriting, the paper, the ink, and the changes in the light and dark angles.
Bo Ji kept urging, "Hurry up, the appreciation meeting will start soon. Confirm it so that I can arrange the staff in advance."
Bo Ling seemed to block out the sounds around him and only focused on looking at the calligraphy and paintings.
Si Mingye stared at Bo Ji and curled his lips in disdain.
He looked up at the calligraphy and paintings not far away, and at just one glance he noticed a landscape painting.
For no other reason than because the feeling of this painting is very similar to several paintings hanging in my home.
The thickness of the ink, the structure of the brush tip, and the ancient text on the seal are exactly the same.
The painting at home is also a landscape painting, and this one is also a landscape painting, but the content of the landscape is different.
At this time, Bo Ling pointed at a small, inconspicuous portrait hanging in the corner and said, "Among these paintings, only this one is closest to the original. We need to see it up close to see if it is real."
Bo Ji looked unhappy. "If you are not sure, go for the next one. There are several fans over there. I think one of them is authentic."
Bo Ling spoke up, his tone cold: "One of the fans is real, but it's not worth much. Do you want to choose?"
Bo Ji stopped talking.
Naturally, he wanted the first prize; the more valuable the antique, the better.
Bo Ji stared at the painting in front of him, thought for a long time, and decided to take it down first.
Si Mingye stood in front of the calligraphy and painting, stroking his chin with a troubled look on his face.
Did he choose based on his own feelings, or did he snatch Bo Ji's things?
After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind to follow his own feelings when it comes to calligraphy and painting.
So he followed Bo Ji to the next area.
There are a lot of wooden boxes here, all of which are exquisitely crafted and have different styles.
A group of elderly people were watching carefully with magnifying glasses.
Bo Ling stood in front of the glass cabinet, looking at every item carefully.
Bo Ji stood by, looking at his watch and urging, "How long will it take? In two minutes, the appreciation meeting will begin."
He doesn't want someone else to get the good stuff first.
This appreciation also tests speed.
Bo Ling watched very slowly this time. No matter how much Bo Ji urged him, he did not show any sign of being anxious.
Soon he selected one among many jewelry boxes, a silver jewelry box inlaid with jade.
Si Mingye walked forward and stared at the jewelry box for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of a woman sobbing in his ears as if he was hallucinating.
He reacted and his eyes widened in shock.
This jewelry box is a real antique because it carries a sense of destiny.
At this time, Zhang Weiming brought several old men into the hall. He looked at everyone with a smile and announced the official start of the appreciation meeting.
The lively banquet hall was immediately filled with noise, and everyone was loudly discussing antiques.
Yuan Dian followed Si Mingye's instructions and first called the registrar to register the blue and white porcelain specified by Si Mingye on the shelf under his name.
Si Mingye also immediately grabbed the jewelry box that Bo Ji had chosen.
Finally he went back and registered the painting that had caught his eye.
In this way, the three antiques he selected are now complete.
Jin Chaochao was talking to Zhang Jingyuan about the fan in front of them. "The painting is good, but the seal was not put on for more than seven days."
Zhang Jingyuan smiled, "You saw it at a glance?"
Jin Chaochao smiled, "Don't you understand it in your heart?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Jingyuan laughed out loud, and the two continued to stroll around.
At this time Si Mingye jumped out, "Sister, I have made my choice."
Jin Chaochao took his hand and said, "Just picked randomly?"
"Of course not. There are so many paintings hanging on the walls of our house, and I chose them based on their similarity." Si Mingye explained honestly.
Of course, he only explained part of it.
Zhang Jingyuan felt that the hall was too noisy, so she took Jin Chaochao to the small hall next door to rest.
The nanny at home made tea for the two of them and they sat together to chat.
"Ms. Jin, who do you think will win the first prize in today's appreciation meeting?" Zhang Jingyuan asked.
Jin Chaochao shook his head, "I don't know about this."
"I thought you, the Jin family, knew everything." Zhang Jingyuan joked, but of course she didn't mean to laugh at Jin Chaochao.
Jin Chaochao held up the teacup and answered: "If we can know everything in advance, then what's the point of living?"
"That's right!" Zhang Jingyuan smiled brightly. "In fact, I am very optimistic about Bo Ji. He has made a lot of money from antique investment over the years. He can be regarded as a rising star in the antique world."
Jin Chaochao raised her eyelids upon hearing this and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Miss Zhang, do you think highly of Bo Ji?"
"Of course!" Zhang Jingyuan's face was full of pride, and her eyes were full of pink bubbles when she spoke. "Although he is the illegitimate son of the Bo family, he is diligent and hardworking, and has a good reputation outside. Even though Boss Bo was born to Mrs. Zhang, he is in poor health, and the Bo family will still be handed over to him in the future."
Jin Chaochao coughed, wanting to remind her that she had very poor taste in men.
But she held back and remained silent.
