I was an alchemist in those years

"Hehe, it's really thick and heavy." I said to Professor Jiang with a smile.

"Is it true?" Yue Qianling whispered in my ear.

"So what if it's real or fake, you won't buy it anyway, just take a look." I whispered.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Yue Qianling grabbed my arm tightly in a hurry.

"Take it easy, you're talking about Chen He's style in broad daylight, not to mention whether men and women can kiss each other, you are also a person who has studied, why don't you understand this." I moved Yue Qianling's hand vigorously, complaining in my mouth explain.

"Hey, now it's time to tell me whether men and women can kiss each other. When you ran into my bathroom, I didn't see you being so righteous and awe-inspiring."

Yue Qianling poked my sore spot, I immediately lowered my head and said in embarrassment.

"Cutting people's money and killing their parents are the rules. Why do you have to force me to do it?"

"Then you don't say anything, do you?"

I nodded firmly.

Yue Qianling didn't bother with me, let go of my arm, and said to the stall owner.

"I bought this jade bi!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Qianling, and there was an uproar again. 5 yuan is an astronomical figure. I didn't expect a girl to buy it when she opened it. I know Yue Qianling was not joking. For others, 5 yuan Yuan is an astronomical figure, but it really doesn't matter to her.

I hurriedly dragged Yue Qianling outside, and Yue Qianling relentlessly shook off my hand.

"I'm going to buy it, what's the matter?"

"Does this lady like it? Since Professor Jiang's estimated price is [-], I don't want more. Objects like this are definitely worth more than this price." The stall owner said calmly when he heard that Yue Qianling wanted to buy it.

"Qianling, I know you have always liked jade. This jade bi is indeed a good item. With your financial strength, it is not difficult to buy it. Whether it is a collection or an investment, it is a good choice." Professor Jiang knew that Yue Qianling's family was well-off, so he smiled and nodded.

Yue Qianling twisted her head and smiled at me provocatively.

"Hey, I really bought it."

I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and rolled her eyes.

"fake!"

The people who surrounded me several times were filled with the words "fake" by me, like a dynamite keg that had been ignited, and exploded at once, discussing and looking at me.

Professor Jiang was also stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand why Yue Qianling kept urging me to look at the jade bi, and quickly asked me.

"It takes less than half a minute for this jade to pass through your hands. How do you know it's fake?"

Yue Qianling told me later, I don’t know why that day, if Professor Jiang said that this jade bi is real, she would not even think about it, but seeing that I have been silent, I feel very confident, I said It turned out to be a fake, but she was secretly happy. Professor Jiang specializes in jade identification in the Institute of Archeology, and he can be regarded as the master of jade identification. He is known as Jiang Yiyi!

That is to say, he only needs to take a look at the jade wares to distinguish the authenticity from the fake ones.

Now I jump out and say it’s fake, which is clearly challenging the authority. This scene is what she’s always looking forward to seeing. Yue Leiting tells her every day that I’m good and that good. When it's exhausted, just wait and see my jokes.

"Don't just say it's a fake, it's over, there must be a reason?" Yue Qianling said with a smile adding fuel to the fire.

I understood the meaning of the smile on Yue Qianling's face, and weakly picked up the jade bi and walked to Professor Jiang's side.

"I'm just guessing. You have good eyesight. Take a look here."

Professor Jiang adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked down at the place I was pointing at on the jade biscuit, his complexion became darker and darker, and he slapped himself hard on the face.

"Shame, shame, I missed this." Professor Jiang said bitterly.

Yue Qianling didn't understand why Professor Jiang was full of confidence just a moment ago, but after one more look, it became like this.

"Professor Jiang, is this jade bi real?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

"Hey... it's a hole in the eye, I'm sorry everyone, this... this is fake!" Professor Jiang said with his head down.

Hearing what he said, the stall owner finally couldn't sit still, stood up hastily, and said nervously.

"How... how could it be fake? I have had someone inspect it, and it is absolutely genuine. I bought it for more than 1 yuan, Jiang...Professor Jiang, you have to explain it clearly to me. .”

Yue Qianling picked up the jade again, looked at me in surprise and said.

"What's the problem?"

I pointed to a place on the edge of the jade for her to see, and Yue Qianling looked down carefully for a long time before discovering that there was only half of a valley nail on the edge of the jade.

"There are only half of the valley nails... Does this have anything to do with the truth?" Yue Qianling still didn't quite understand.

"What's the matter?!" Professor Jiang said with a serious face. "I didn't do this when I went to the important ones. Workers will never make half a nail out of it."

"Maybe it's just a deviation in the craftsmanship, and you can't just judge it's fake based on this?" Yue Qianling asked still puzzled.

"This is a jade bi from the Song Dynasty imitating the Han Dynasty. The craftsmanship is quite mature, so it is absolutely impossible to have such a big flaw." Professor Jiang explained earnestly.

The stall owner was sweating profusely, his hands were shaking, and he said in a panic.

"Professor Jiang, you always look carefully, don't scare me, maybe it's just a mistake."

"There can be no error. The ancients were very strict in making jade, and they would not process it casually. The arrangement of grain nails like this is very regular. According to the formal method, the space should be considered good. What is the diameter of the jade bi and how many pieces can be made? Before making these, you must be aware of them, and there is absolutely no way that there will be half a piece of jade. This is obviously a mistake caused by insufficient calculations in the production process by later generations." Seeing the anxious look of the stall owner, he sighed and whispered beside him.

Hearing what I said, the people around suddenly scattered away, without any sympathy or nostalgia. Things like this happen in the ghost market every day. No matter how beautiful this jade is, as long as it is fake, it will become like this ghost market. Like thousands of objects, there is no attractive place.

The stall owner sat on the ground limply, staring blankly at the jade bi in front of him, looking a bit unbearable.

"It's so pitiful. It seems that he was also cheated. He bought a fake product for more than 1 yuan. Hey..." Yue Qianling said sadly.

I lowered my head and dragged her out, saying angrily.

"Cutting off people's wealth and killing their parents, I told you that there are rules and regulations. What's the use of pitying him now? If it weren't for you, would he be like this?"

"But... but things are fake, you can't use fake things to deceive people." Yue Qianling tilted her head and said unconvinced.

"This is a ghost market, a place to eat by looking at the eyes. There is no forced buying and selling, and there is no bullying to dominate the market. The business is one who is willing to buy and one is willing to sell. It is only the eyesight that judges whether the jade is true or false. It is a common thing to be true, and it is no different from others."

Yue Qianling was about to argue, when Professor Jiang walked over at some point.

"This ghost city is full of devastation. The awake laughs at the drunk, and the drunk laughs at the awake. The awake and drunk are happy on their own. Black and white share the universe." Professor Jiang said with a sigh. "Qianling, there are many things that are not right or wrong. True and false are as simple as that. Yan Hui said it well. Today I am the one who made a point, but you forced Yan Hui to tell the truth in front of everyone. It really violated the rules here."

Yue Qianling heard that Professor Jiang, who is usually honest, honest and well-educated, said so, she blushed and bowed her head and said nothing.

"Yanhui, I've been in the weapon appraisal business all my life, and I'm ashamed to be called Jiang Yi. If it weren't for you today, my reputation would be ruined in my own hands. After decades, I'm not as good as you. What a piece of shit Jiang One glance, hehe, it’s still scary for young people.” Professor Jiang shook his head sadly and said.

"Professor Jiang, don't say that. People judge jade with three points, and jade judges people 100%. It's a trivial matter whether you can tell the authenticity of jade. With such a big title like you, you actually admit it in front of so many people. You are the real high-spirited and honest person." I quickly laughed dryly and said modestly.

Professor Jiang patted me on the shoulder in relief, and said to Yue Qianling meaningfully.

"Qianling, you may be better than me in Kanyu, but in terms of people, hehe, I'm an old bastard, but you found such a good boyfriend... Oh, no, it should be a friend, hehe, you have a unique vision, okay Take it easy, this guy is really good."

"Professor Jiang, anyway, you are visiting the ghost market alone, why don't you come with us." Yue Qianling changed the subject with a blushing face.

"Hehe, of course it's good, but I don't know if I, an old man, will disturb you two." Professor Jiang said with a smile hesitant to speak.

"Look at what you keep saying, don't bother me if there is any trouble, if you are giving me extra lessons, my thesis will definitely be published, and it usually costs real money for others to invite you to take a class, I am not picking it up Great deal." Yue Qianling raised her head and said with a smile.
