C47 His Eyes Were like Gods
"Grandfather, aren't you making things difficult for them? It's just that I was lucky to be able to expose a fake. Do you really think they are some sort of appraisal grandmaster? "
If word of this matter spread, the only thing that would be lost would be the face of the Zhao Family, but now, this old man had become a general instead.
As long as everyone's attention was focused on Bai Shuang, it would be enough to lure trouble to the east.
"If you didn't say it, I would've forgotten. It really is bullying people. This way, this old man won't bully you. I'll give you a hint."
Zhao Jingxin smiled and poured herself a cup of water.
Bai Shuang immediately focused her attention on the purple clay teapot. It was simple and elegant, making it look extraordinary. Plus, it was obvious that it was something she had been toying with all year round. Anyone with a bit of discernment would know how precious it was.
Although the blankets on the floor were also expensive, they were just luxury goods and were not the most precious. The paintings on the walls were all of high quality, but they were not the most valuable ones.
The old man had an elegant manner, he naturally had all kinds of zither, chess, calligraphy, and paintings in his room, and even an ancient inkstone.
Thinking about this, Bai Shuang let out a long sigh. Even coming to the appraisal room would give her a headache, much less herself.
Just as Zhao Ji was about to speak, Lin Yuan suddenly walked to Bai Shuang's side and put his arm around her.
"There's no need for the notification. However, if I can find the most valuable thing, it will not only be a simple cooperation. I will also have to add another condition."
Lin Yuan spoke indifferently. His calm demeanor caused Zhao Jingxin to be shocked. Where did this guy get such confidence from?
"There aren't many who would dare to negotiate the conditions in front of me, even if the old thing from Bai Family were to come, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.
Zhao Jingxin sneered coldly.
"Why would I not dare?"
Lin Yuan continued, "Not only did I find the most expensive one, I also helped you verify whether this house is real or fake."
After which, he smiled.
"You took a big advantage."
Zhao Jingxin was surprised and sized him up. Could he really be an appraisal grandmaster?
However, on second thought, how could he possibly be an appraisal grandmaster at such a young age?
Even if he invited a few appraisers over, it would be hard to determine the value of this room's ancient items.
Zhao Jingxin's biggest hobby in life was to collect all kinds of real items. So she had a lot of appraisers, including masters, but even so, she couldn't guarantee that everything in the room was real.
"You have quite the tone at such a young age. Since you have said so, I am willing to gamble with you. However, this matter cannot be so easily dealt with. If you are unable to do so, what should we do?"
"Coincidentally, I have a painting of a White Mountain monk in my house. If I can't do it, I'll just send you a painting."
Lin Yuan laughed casually. It seemed like such a priceless painting was nothing in his eyes, but in reality, it was indeed like that. He could just casually draw it.
Zhao Jingxin and Bai Shuang were shocked when they heard that, especially Bai Shuang.
How could Lin Yuan have such precious things, not to mention Lin Yuan moved into the mansion empty-handed.
"I previously said that your relationship wasn't good, but now it doesn't seem so. Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance. Do you have enough time for half a day?"
In Zhao Jingxin's eyes, Lin Yuan naturally did not possess such a precious item. After thinking about it for a while, he could only be Bai Shuang's treasured item.
"There's no need for that. At most, half an hour."
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. It was obvious that he did not put such things in his eyes. He had seen too many precious antiques and had come into contact with both China and the West.
There were many secrets and historical records that other people needed to read through, but he was able to easily remember them.
"What big words you have there! There are at least a hundred treasures in this room, but you can read them in half an hour?"
Lin Yuan didn't reply. Instead, he walked to the wall and slowly wandered around the room. Every time he got there, he would lower his head and look around.
Bai Shuang couldn't help but to lower her voice when she saw Lin Yuan strolling leisurely.
"Are you that confident? "Also, where can you find such a white mountain painting? Even after all these years, I still haven't been able to buy it."
Bai Shuang felt that Lin Yuan was exaggerating. No matter how extraordinary his previous performance was, how could the collection in this room distinguish the truth from the false within half an hour and find the most valuable items?
Lin Yuan didn't say anything and just gave a comforting look. For some reason, Bai Shuang became silent and bit her lips.
Finally, Lin Yuan circled around and stopped in front of a landscape painting.
There are a total of 103 items, of which 35 are fake. However, the method is very clever and you put all these items in the northeast corner, so you should know about them. As for the most valuable one, you should feel the teacup in your hand.
Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Jingxin smilingly. He pointed at the teapot that was not made of purple sand but was placed at the corner of the table. It was a small teacup that did not attract much attention.
Zhao Jingxin's expression changed instantly. Even though she had seen too much, she still found it hard to believe. How did this Lin Yuan figure it out?
"But if you think that's all it is, then you're wrong. The most precious thing is this painting."
Lin Yuan reached out his hand to scold Zhao Jingxin, but he didn't know what was going on. Logically speaking, this Lin Yuan should have already won, so why did he suddenly make such a foolish choice?
"I spent less than 1 million to buy that painting. It's just that it's pleasing to the eye, there's nothing special about it."
"This painting is not precious, what is precious is the things that are hidden inside. In ancient times, there were literati who would usually keep this painting in another painting in order to preserve the real treasure. Ordinary people would find this difficult to detect, so you should know."
Lin Yuan slowly caught the painting and laid it on the table. Zhao Jingxin couldn't help but frown. He had specifically looked at it at the beginning and invited a professional appraiser. There was nothing special about this painting.
"If you don't mind, I'll let you see the treasure inside right now."
Although this small landscape painting was worth millions of yuan, it was nothing compared to Zhao Jingxin's curiosity.
Seeing the old man nod, Little Hua remained silent, slowly tearing open the corner of the painting, following which he bent over, his hands steady.
To everyone's surprise, it was not damaged at all. The painting on the outside merely tore off the edges, and there was only a small painting about two-thirds of its original size stored inside. However, the contents of the painting made the people in the room breathless.
This was not a painting, but a calligraphy piece. It was filled with ease, and with just a glance, one would be reluctant to leave.
"This is …"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't think that he would be able to find such a legendary letter.
"One of the eight great families, Liu, is not known for his calligraphy skills, but he had a written letter written in history. It was decided long ago that he would be destroyed by the flames of war. Now, it seems that it isn't the case."
