Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Just like this blue and white flower pattern eight-way candle holder.

After reading the name, Lin Ran placed the blue and white porcelain in front of him.

Only a minute had passed since Lin Ran finished the appraisal, and Lin Ran actually selected the second antique.

Xiao Jun, who was a little impatient himself, couldn't help but put down the cultural relics in his hand and glanced at Lin Ran.

He was a little panicked. Is this kid so fast in appraisal?

Is it nonsense?

But looking at how confident he was, he didn't seem to be messing around.

I won’t say it on the surface, but judging from the smile on Mr. Zhu’s face, there is a high probability that what he chose is the real thing.

Xiao Jun forced himself to concentrate, patted his cheek and said, "Don't be distracted, you are already [-] ahead."

Lin Ran, who was opposite, seemed to have heard these words and smiled: "Are you sure you are leading, not lagging behind?"

There is no rule in the treasure appraisal competition that you cannot talk to the other party.

After all, the work of treasure appraisal is person-to-person, especially when purchasing antiques, other people's words may also interfere with one's judgment.

Only researchers from the museum maintain an absolutely quiet environment while conducting analysis of cultural relics.

There are no such requirements for the treasure appraisal competition.

Lin Ran's casual words caused cold sweat to break out on Xiao Jun's forehead.

Xiao Jun replied with some dissatisfaction: "You should take care of yourself."

He forced himself to refocus and began to identify.

But his action has been noticed by Yan Hong.

He didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart: Xiao Jun's talent is actually good, and he works hard, but it's a pity that he is arrogant and easily influenced by the outside world, and his personality is not stable enough to become a master.

After being provoked by Lin Ran, his treasure appraisal speed obviously accelerated. He picked up an antique, stayed for no more than 1 minute, and then put it down.

On Lin Ran's side, his treasure appraisal speed slowed down again.

Moreover, he played with the Buddhist beads calmly.

"What is he doing?" Chen Qi looked at the time and saw that 40 minutes had passed.

Ten cultural relics had been placed in front of Xiao Jun, but the two antiques were still in front of Lin Ran, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Li Jiahang also frowned, "Daughter, do you think he can do it? Is he afraid of losing?"

Li Youwei looked at Lin Ran with all her concentration, completely unaware of her father's question.

Li Jiahang asked for trouble and smiled bitterly.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have participated in the activities of these old antiques. They are all so dull."

Xiao Jun's heart was full of obsession, and he was unwilling to lose to Lin Ran who had fought halfway.

Yan Hong also noticed Lin Ran's behavior.

He still didn't change, but looked all the way along the table.

"There are still 5 minutes." Yan Hong felt that he needed to remind Lin Ran.

It's not like he has never seen such a master of treasure appraisal. He was so immersed in the world of treasure appraisal that he temporarily forgot that he was still at the competition site.

Although there is a point deduction system, if there are too few cultural relics, the probability of losing will definitely be high.

"Qing, Kangxi, blue and white character pen holder." He selected the last cultural relic.

There were nearly a hundred cultural relics placed on the table, and he had already selected the ones that he was [-]% sure were authentic.

He looked at Lin Ran again and said with a smile: "Master Chen, apart from porcelain, don't you know other types of antiques?"

Lin Ran finally reached the end of the table.

He was not walking around aimlessly, but in these 50 minutes, he had looked at all the cultural relics on the table.

After going around in a circle, he came to Xiao Jun.

He stood firm and said with a smile: "Taking treasures requires staying calm. Have you ever missed something?"

"Picking up leaks?" Xiao Jun burst out laughing after hearing this, "It's a child's thing. I first conducted cultural relic appraisals at the Qilin Treasure Association. What good things can you pick up by picking up leaks? No wonder you are so short-sighted."

"You are the one who is short-sighted."

Yan Hong glanced at the time and urged, "There's still one minute left."

"It's over." Chen Qi thought in annoyance, "Master Lin must be too confident. Even if half of Xiao Jun is fake, the value of the other half is enough to offset the difference."

But at this moment, Lin Ran walked along the table and reported the name of the cultural relics.

"Seated Lotus Buddha, Bagan, Song Dynasty."

"Warring States Period, Han Dynasty."

"Qing Dynasty, topaz and gilded pagoda."

"Han, crystal relic lotus..."

I saw Lin Ran strolling along the table, and then selected twelve antiques from it.

And each era is different, and the categories are different..

Everyone gasped when Lin Ran announced his name.

Lin Ran returned to his seat and put the cultural relics into a pile, which was a whole pile thicker than Xiao Jun's.

Just after he reported the last antique name, Yan Hong announced the end of the game.

"You gave up and reported blindly, right?" Xiao Jun's face turned pale. He walked up to Lin Ran and picked up the cultural relics on his table to inspect.

"I've seen this gilded pagoda. It's obviously fake. There's even inscriptions on the bottom..."

"Have you ever thought that the collector deliberately carved the name on it?" Lin Ran replied.

"You! Still talking tough." Xiao Jun sneered. He took a lot and made a lot of mistakes.

In front of him, there were many cultural relics that he had seen, which he had identified as fakes.

Yan Hong looked a little surprised and asked, "Chen Xing, can you explain what you were doing just now?"

Because from other people's perspective, Lin Ran seemed to be going shopping, casually touching and looking at things without conducting detailed appraisals.

Lin Ran said: "This is a habit I developed when I was picking up items in Panjiayuan. I usually look at all the cultural relics and then determine which ones are valuable and which ones are imitations."

Subsequently, Yan Hong's men began to evaluate the scores of both parties based on the authenticity and price recorded in the book.

Zhu Yawen stroked his beard and said, "What do you two think of this batch of cultural relics?"

In order to express himself, Xiao Jun answered first: "This batch of goods is priceless. Is it your collection, Mr. Zhu? There is no sign of fakes at all."

"Yes." Zhu Yawen nodded and replied: "It is indeed my collection."

"That's really my fault for being blind. I actually thought that 20.00% of them were fakes! I'm so ashamed!" Xiao Jun didn't expect this. How could the old man's collection be fake?

Lin Ran replied: "Mr. Zhu, do these collections have special meaning to you?"

Zhu Yawen's eyes lit up and he asked: "Why do you say this?"

"There are indeed a lot of valuable goods, but... there are too many fakes, 80.00% of them are fakes." Lin Ran said.

Everyone present was stunned.
