Chapter 32 The Most Beautiful Man in the Mirror

() "Tianci, which school did you graduate from, and who is your mentor? Famous teachers give rise to high-level apprentices. With your current vision and level, I may not know your mentor." Professor Jiang asked curiously as he walked.

"Is he still a mentor?" Yue Qianling gave Chu Tianci a high-spirited look. "Professor Jiang, he didn't go to school."

"Ah?!" Professor Jiang stared at Chu Tianci in a daze. "You? Didn't you go to school?"

"No...no, hehe, the children in the mountains don't go to school, and they don't have the money to go to school." Chu Tianci had a clean smile on his face.

"Then...then where did you learn all your knowledge about jade identification?" Professor Jiang asked in surprise.

"This sounds absurd. I seem to be born with some knowledge about antique appreciation. For example, when I look at an antique, the relevant history and information, and even the provenance of the antique will naturally appear in my mind." Chu Tianci She spread her hands and answered calmly. "Of course, many of them are read from books."

"Can you understand these things in books?" Yue Qianling pursed her lips in disdain.

"Yes, of course there are, such as Yunji Shilu, Tuoyu Quanben, and Pinggu Ten Volumes. These books are all about the records of precious cultural relics of the past dynasties..."

"Tianci, wait a minute, what did you say?!" Professor Jiang grabbed Chu Tianci and asked with wide eyes. "The Veritable Records of Yunji, the Complete Book of Tuoyu, and the Ten Volumes of Pinggu... Do you think you have read these books?"

Chu Tianci nodded in a daze and said doubtfully.

"I've seen it! And I can recite it backwards, what's wrong with you?"

"These books are all lost? You... how do you have them?" Professor Jiang asked in surprise.

"Has it been lost? I... I really don't know, not only these, there are a lot of Haolian Ancient Records, Tianchang Burial Dao, etc. Anyway, as long as it is the book in the house, I can basically recite it backwards."

Professor Jiang was covering his heart, and the corners of his mouth kept wriggling, looking a little scary.

"Professor Jiang, don't get excited. You have heart disease, so you only need a few books. Why are you like this?" Yue Qianling hurriedly supported him and said eagerly.

"Do you know what the books mentioned by Tianci are for?"

Yue Qianling shook her head indifferently.

"This is the funeral book of officials above rank five in all dynasties, including concubines and emperors!"

"Funeral book?"

"The book that records the funerary objects clearly lists the specifications, sizes, uses, and materials of each funeral object. These are all secrets. Because of the detailed records of the funerary objects, I am worried that someone will rob the tomb, so these books have been written in the past dynasties. It is being destroyed, and now it has been lost, the completeness of the cultural relics recorded on it, the detailed classification, and the variety of styles are beyond your imagination."

"Oh, no wonder you know how to appreciate antiques, so you really learned it from books." Yue Qianling nodded suddenly, and said to him with a smile. "Aren't you tired of reading those ancient books every day?"

"It's annoying, but there's nothing you can do. Try it. No one talks to you all day long. What else can you do if you don't read a book?"

"These are ancient books, esoteric and difficult to understand. God-given, you said no one taught you, how did you understand them?"

"I think it's very easy to read these books. I can remember them with my memory. After reading them once, the contents of the books will be recorded in my heart. Then when I go to bed at night, I will feel that the contents of the books appear in my dreams, just like the records in the books. Those antiques are right in front of my eyes, even within reach, and when I wake up, I will understand everything."

Professor Jiang has studied hard for many years to achieve what he is today. Listening to Chu Tianci talk about his past, it is so unbelievable. Chu Tianci does not seem like a person who talks about it.

"I feel that Godsend speaks and behaves quite like the ancients. It turns out that he has been reading extensively. Good fortune like Godsend you can be met but not sought. Do you know that many people may not be able to achieve these abilities even if they spend their entire lives. You must To make good use of it, the future is boundless.”

"You have always been given a high hat for him, and now you are no longer arrogant. If you continue to praise him like this, you will go to heaven." Yue Qianling rolled her eyes at Chu Tianci and said arrogantly. "My thesis is still short of a lot of materials, please teach me quickly."

"Hetian jade, Hetian jade, big deal for clearance, don't miss it when you pass by, the last batch."

In another stall full of people, the stall owner yelled loudly, and the business seemed to be going well.

"Go, go and have a look, Hetian jade is really good jade."

Chu Tianci quickly stopped Yue Qianling and looked at what the sky said.

"I'm not looking for time anymore. The ghost market will be closed at dawn. Don't waste time in a bunch of fake goods."

"You didn't read it, how do you know it's fake?"

"In Hotan, on the riverbed of the [-]-kilometer Yulong Kashi River, the stock of Hotan jade is extremely rare. Although it cannot be said to be unique, at least it will not be everywhere. Have you ever seen anyone who would wholesale such a valuable thing? ?”

Professor Jiang also nodded with a smile and said, "There is no chance for real Wada ingredients to appear here."

"After shopping for so long, this is fake, and that is also fake. I don't think there are real products in this ghost market." Yue Qianling complained a little disappointed.

Chu Tianci raised his hand and turned his head as if looking for something.

"Who says there is no real thing, listen! Listen carefully."

"Tianci, you can... you can listen to jade?!" Professor Jiang asked again in surprise.

"What is Tingyu?" Yue Qianling asked blankly.

"When it comes to identifying jade, the best way is to listen to the sound." Professor Jiang followed Chu Tianci and explained to Yue Qianling. "In the past, when evaluating a man, whether he had status or taste, he didn't look at how he looked or whether he was 1.8 meters tall. He had to listen to what he heard? It was this man who passed by and wore a ring. Ding Dong, listen to the sound of the jade on his body, if you can make a crisp sound, you will know that the jade hanging on this person is definitely not an ordinary object."

"Why do I hear the same voice without a piece of jade?" Yue Qianling looked confused after listening for a long time.

"Jade has a spirit, and the sound of jade is melodious. It feels like the sound of nature, and it immediately makes you feel comfortable. You can definitely tell the quality of jade by the sound. However, it is estimated that there are not many people today who can listen to it just by their ears Whether this jade is real or not, good or bad, anyway, I can't." Professor Jiang explained patiently.

Chu Tianci stopped in front of a booth, all of which were small fragments, among which a few hanging safety buckles swayed in the morning wind, making light and agile sounds when they collided slightly with each other.

Professor Jiang looked at it with his eyes closed, and a joyful expression slowly appeared on his face.

"Qianling, I'm convinced of the hearing power bestowed by God. You can hear good jade. Come and take a look at these safety buttons."

Yue Qianling gently held it in her hand and observed, it was indeed completely different from the jades she had seen before, with fine texture, moist color, luster and smoothness, no ice in winter and no excitement in summer, it was indeed a high-quality ancient jade.

"No! Can you really hear it?" Yue Qianling looked at Chu Tianci's ears in surprise, feeling very jealous. "If only I had your ears, I don't need to write any papers."

"If a person has no virtue, he must have no beautiful jade. Even if he uses the eyes of others to keep the beautiful jade, he can only make a sensation, but not benefit from his soul." Professor Jiang said earnestly. "God bestows both ability and political integrity, with a calm mind like water, so you can hear the sounds of nature. You and I are impetuous people. Of course, you can't hear the jade sound. Even if you are given ears by God, you don't have his indifferent state of mind. It is also useless.

Chu Tianci's eyes fell on a simple bronze mirror in the booth, and he held it in his hand and looked at it for a while.

"How much is this bronze mirror?"

"You can give me a price, and buy it if it suits you." The stall owner said kindly.

"I don't have much money, I can't afford to pay more, how about ten yuan?" Chu Tianci asked tentatively with a smile.

The stall owner was straightforward, and nodded without thinking, Chu Tianci took out the money and handed it over, and casually gave the bronze mirror to Yue Qianling.

"I came here from a long distance, and I can't go back empty-handed. This bronze mirror is very meticulously crafted. I give it to you as an apology for what happened before. Let's just smile away our grievances, haha."

Yue Qianling took the bronze mirror and looked at it for a long time, she was ordinary, but the body of the mirror was a landscape painting, which could be regarded as elegant and dignified.

Suddenly thinking about it, Chu Tianci is so good at appreciating antiques, why would he buy a bronze mirror casually? Could it be a mistake, he hurried to Professor Jiang and asked in a low voice.

"Professor Jiang, Godsend bought this for me just now. He is very spooky. Why don't you always check to see if you have bought the real thing?"

"This...it looks like a fake. How could it be the real thing? God has such good eyesight, it's impossible to make a mistake." Professor Jiang glanced at it and said with certainty.

Yue Qianling fiddled with the bronze mirror in her hand, pouting and muttering softly.

"Okay, give me the broken bronze mirror. It's not true. Who cares about it? I want to laugh away my grievances. It's beautiful."

"A gift from God?" Professor Jiang suddenly asked with a smile.

Yue Qianling nodded, looking disgusted.

Professor Jiang glanced at the bronze mirror again, and smiled meaningfully.

"This is a map of mountains and rivers, imitating the bronze mirror of Tang Dynasty. It's not worth much, but...hehe."

Seeing Professor Jiang's reluctance to speak, Yue Qianling couldn't help asking curiously.

"But what? Professor Jiang, tell me quickly."

"There are many imitations of this bronze mirror, because Li Yu, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, gave it to her confidante Zhou Empress Ehuang, and it can be passed down to this day because Li Yu wrote a poem when he gave the mirror."

"What poem?"

"The mountains and rivers can't be seen forever, the most beautiful person in the mirror."

Yue Qianling was taken aback, and looked at the mirror in her hand again. It is impossible for Chu Tianci to know this allusion, so he gave this bronze mirror to herself, and Yue Qianling blushed more and more thinking about it.

He raised his head and saw Chu Tianci looking at him affectionately. He had never looked at Chu Tianci seriously before, so he just stood and looked at him, and found that Chu Tianci's delicate face was full of fortitude, and his bright eyes were full of tenderness.

Especially Chu Tianci's gesture of waving to him was majestic and unrestrained, and he seemed a bit like an emperor in a trance.

"Baozi, here are meat buns, you agree to ask for food!"
