Rebirth: Business Queen

Chapter 102 Xiao Yao's Apprenticeship (2)

This ancient inkstone is no longer black and not slippery, but golden yellow, with a circle in the middle and a five-clawed golden dragon engraved around it. There is the word Imperial! on the back, and the word Zhao is engraved on the base.

This is, this is Li Zetian's royal inkstone? Xue Yuning looked at Xiao Yao with excitement and inconceivable.

Xiao Yao nodded.

However, Xue Yuning was still not sure whether it was true or not. She also needs to find the teacher to confirm.

Uh, this lady, what's your name? Xue Yuning asked. The front desk only said that there was one person who wanted to auction the ancient inkstone, so she asked someone to come up, so she didn't know the name of the owner of the ancient inkstone.

My surname is Xiao, Xiao He's Xiao, my name is Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao replied.

Miss Xiao, sit down for a while, and I'll invite my teacher over! Xue Yuning said.

Because this kind of inkstone can also be imitated, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the true from the false without a solid foundation. Besides, this inkstone was brought by a child who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Therefore, with her current appraisal level, she still cannot accurately identify the authenticity of this inkstone.

Okay. Miss Xue! Xiao Yao said.

Xue Yuning went out in a hurry, while Xiao Yao was bored playing with his mobile phone.

Half an hour later, the door opened, and Xue Yuning came in with an old man in his seventies.

Teacher, this is the inkstone, take a look! Xue Yuning didn't say hello to Xiao Yao, she helped the teacher to sit down, and then hurriedly and carefully held the inkstone to show the teacher.

The old man put on his glasses, took the magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully, occasionally touching it with his fingers.

Xiao Yao didn't bother them, just sat there quietly and watched them.

After about fifteen minutes, the old man finally raised his head and spoke.

Ning'er, this is the real product, it's Li Zetian's special inkstone! The old man said excitedly. It's been a long time since I came across any ancient items that needed him to come forward for identification. And just now, Ning'er invited him to come over as soon as she said that there was an inkstone that she was not sure the emperor used.

Oh. Really. Great, Baoli hasn't photographed anything of value recently. As a result, the company is deserted, and the profit is not high. Now, with this treasure, at least the company can be active for a while. It's over! Xue Yuning said happily.

Ning'er, whose inkstone belongs to? the old man asked.

Uh, it's this little sister! Xue Yuning turned around and pointed at Xiao Yao who was sitting on the sofa embarrassedly. She was so excited that she forgot the owner of the ancient inkstone.

Whose child is this, which parent would give such a precious thing to the child? The old man said to Xue Yuning with a frown, and then said to Xiao Yao with serious dissatisfaction, Little girl, you Did you bring the ancient inkstone from your family to auction, so ignorant, call your family right away!

Grandpa, don't worry, I didn't steal from the house, I picked it up. And I can decide whether to sell this thing or not! Xiao Yao also didn't take the old man's dissatisfaction to heart.

After all, she was really young, and when she came to the auction company with such a valuable thing, no one would think of which child stole it from her own home.

What, did you pick it up? The old man asked in confusion and surprise, I just heard Ning'er say that the inkstone you brought here looks like an imitation. How can you be sure that there is something else in it?

Grandpa, I know a little about identifying antique treasures. I saw that this ancient inkstone looks like an antique imitation, but after holding this inkstone in my hand, the weight is very inconsistent with the material on the outside. I guessed that there is no inside. It must be made of other materials. So, I tried to knock on this inkstone, but this inkstone did not have any cracks or traces that could be knocked open. I was about to give up, but once, I didn't say anything. It fell off the table, and then it was smashed into two halves, revealing another inkstone inside. I have studied it, and I have also confirmed it, and I have determined that this is the special inkstone of Li Zetian, the female emperor of the Dali Dynasty. Since it is It's an antique, so I want to sell it! Xiao Yao gave a reason. She won't reveal her powers.

Oh. So that's the case! The old man did not doubt, But you sold this inkstone, do your family know? The old man still wanted to ask clearly, after all, if this square inkstone was auctioned, it should be able to sell for a lot of money, she said. Can a child really be in charge?

Grandpa, don't worry, I can make up my own mind! Xiao Yao said again.

Well, good. Then Xiao Ning, you should keep this square inkstone in the warehouse. Take it out on Wednesday as the final auction item! The old man finally made a decision.

Yes, teacher! Xue Yuning replied respectfully. Then let Xiao Yao go through the relevant procedures for the auction and take the ancient inkstone to the warehouse.

Xue Yuning went out. The old man was a little bored sitting, and someone in Xiao Yao wouldn't play with his cell phone rudely. The two of them sat like that.

after awhile.

Little girl, you said just now that you know a little about the appraisal of antique treasures, right? the old man asked.

Yes, Grandpa. I just like these things, so I put a little thought into researching them! Xiao Yao said. At first, she wanted to say that she had learned a little from the master, and finally, after thinking about it, she would say that she should learn a little by herself. After all, in ancient times, she was indeed self-taught in identifying treasures, and she could not reveal this to anyone.

Oh, so you are self-taught? the old man asked.

Well, you can say that! Xiao Yao nodded and said.

Well, yes, self-study can reach this level. It is a talent and talent! The old man nodded. Little girl, do you want to learn this business with me?

Ah? Xiao Yao was a little puzzled. Is this old man going to accept her as a disciple? However, after thinking about it, it's okay, in the future, she is about to enter the industry of ancient treasures.

Ah what? Why is it so difficult for my old man to accept an apprentice? The old man grumbled angrily, and started complaining again.

Teacher, who do you want to accept as your apprentice? Xue Yuning asked curiously and surprised.

As soon as Xue Yuning came in, she heard the old man playing a bitter scene. You must know that although you call him teacher, you are both his apprentice and his granddaughter.
