Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

Chihiro Akagi put down the teacup, "Weixi, you're rude, is this how you treat guests?"

"Sister, I just don't deserve it for you. I've asked a private detective to investigate this guy. He's a complete playboy. He's not only having an affair with the girl from Qianxue's family, but he's also having an affair with his neighbors."

Akagi Miki glared and said angrily.

"Idiot, this kind of thing should be said in private, how can you say it in such a public place?"

Akagi Manami nervously grabbed his sister Akagi Miki.

Chihiro Akagi glanced at Miki Akagi, and the person sitting next to her was Harumi Akagi.

Harumi Akagi is the cousin of Chihiro Akagi. She is a scheming woman who seems to get along well with everyone and is very harmonious. In fact, she is always stirring up troubles behind her back.

The clueless Akagi Miki may have thought that she directly questioned Shirakawa for the sake of her sister Chihiro Akagi, but in fact it was just the opposite.

Bai Chuan now represents Chihiro Akagi's face. She asked this question directly because she was not giving face to the head of the family.

If Bai Chuan is really so unbearable, everyone will question Chihiro Akagi's vision and laugh at her privately.

"It's okay, I'll answer your question."

Shirakawa looked at Akagi Miki with a smile,

"Your sister only agreed to get engaged to me in order to abide by the contract left by the previous generation. She is a very good person who keeps her promises, but she and I met too late. Before I met your sister, I’ve already met Miss Qianxue.”

Chapter 421 420·Master of Treasure Appraisal

Chihiro Akagi glanced at Bai Chuan indifferently. She didn't expect Bai Chuan to think so highly of herself, even though she was indeed excellent.

Of course, I never thought that Bai Chuan would not explain anything when others slandered him. This kind of calmness and confidence was very rare.

The brothers and sisters of the Akagi family all looked at Shirakawa eagerly, waiting for his explanation, but he started a new topic, picked up the teacup, and said with a critical eye,

"This cup is actually blue and white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty. It is already 1,300 years old."

Drinking tea in the Akagi family is also different from other families. Basically, every guest or host has a tea slave. The tea slave is only responsible for making tea for one person, so the tea that everyone drinks tastes different. The tea sets you get are also different.

The tea slave of the house owner, Chihiro Akagi, is theoretically the best, and the tea he drinks is also the most fragrant.

Hearing Bai Chuan say this, everyone looked over in surprise.

The tea set given to him by the Akagi family is indeed an antique, but there are very few people in the family who know about antiques, and only a few people know about it, but those are all clan elders.

The clan elders also participated in the banquet, but they were all in the inner room behind a screen.

This set of tea sets was given to him because the appearance of this incomplete tea set was very different from other decorative tea sets. Someone deliberately did not want to look good to Bai Chuan, so he took out this incomplete tea set.

Who would have thought this was an antique?

Baichuan held the teacup and pretended to look at it carefully. In fact, the identification technique had already displayed all the information about the teacup, even the name of the ancient craftsman who made the teacup.

Although the quantity and completeness of blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty were not as good as those of later generations, the blue and white porcelain of this period had begun to take shape and was an important stage in the development history of blue and white porcelain in China.

"This porcelain was unearthed in Gongyi, China. It is characterized by the use of cobalt-containing blue glaze to decorate the porcelain. It was originally supposed to be a pot and four cups, but now only one pot and one cup are left. Although it is incomplete, it is also valuable for collection. , use it to drink tea, it tastes really good. ”

Bai Chuan said with a smile.

Everyone in the Akagi family exchanged glances.

‘Is this an antique? ’

'How would I know? ’

‘You’re not here to fool people, are you? ’

‘He can also identify treasures? Are you kidding me? ’

Akagi Miki frowned, obviously not satisfied with Shirakawa's previous answer, and now he changed the topic again.

"What are you talking about? It's just a broken teacup. It doesn't look good and is poorly made, so I put it in for you."

"Weixi, don't talk nonsense."

Akagi Aoiko glanced at her daughter, who was spoiled by her.

There was no unnecessary expression on Chihiro Akagi's face, neither angry nor particularly happy.

She knew that as the head of the family, there would be people who wanted to see her jokes. Whether it was her sister or her fiancé, if something happened at this time, some people would be happy to see it happen. This is the drawback of a big family. There are too many people, and you can never fully unify their thoughts.

"This is indeed an antique. If you don't believe it, you can take it for appraisal."

Bai Chuan responded with a smile, but he was not as knowledgeable as the little girl.

Akagi Aoiko smiled and took the tea cup, "The blue and white flowers are really beautiful, maybe they are really antiques."

She chose to side with Bai Chuan, even though she didn't know how to appreciate treasures at all.

Akagi Harumi, who was wearing a simple and elegant kimono, smiled slightly.

"Grandpa Six used to be a member of the Treasure Appraisal Bureau. Now that he is retired, maybe we can let him take a look."

She wanted to see Bai Chuan make a fool of herself. She didn't believe that this tea set was an antique. Real antiques were usually sealed and kept in a treasure house. How could it be put on the table directly in secret?

The fact that this tea set appears here means that Grandpa Six has seen it before but did not recognize it.

The sixth grandfather she called was Akagi Kazuhiro, and he was sitting in the back room.

"Okay, that's good."

Seeing that Bai Chuan had successfully diverted everyone's attention, he felt relieved.

He didn't want Akagi Miki, the idiot, to keep asking him what a scumbag he was. It would be awkward if he didn't answer or not answer, and the situation would be out of control.

Since he knew that attending such a banquet would not be easy, he might as well go to the field he was good at.

In addition to solving cases, he could easily identify treasures with his advanced identification skills.

If he had the initiative, he would not be in a passive situation.

Seeing Shirakawa's attitude, Chihiro Akagi did not stop him.

She had heard that Takahashi Nagakage had a good ability to identify treasures, and since then, there has been no excellent treasure appraiser in the Takahashi family. Could it be that Shirakawa was from Takahashi Nagakage's lineage? This is interesting.

Chihiro Akagi nodded slightly, and the servant walked into the inner room and invited the elders out.

There were six elders in total, one male and five females.

In the Akagi family, women are respected, and the sixth grandfather Akagi Kazuhiro was able to be an elder because he was quite capable when he was young.

They came to Shirakawa. The other elders were mainly observing Shirakawa. Only Akagi Kazuhiro was carefully identifying the teacup.

On the way, Shirakawa was afraid that the old man was too old and couldn't see clearly, so he made a few remarks.

Akagi Kazuhiro exclaimed, "Takahashi has a keen eye. This is indeed an antique. It is completely different from the old ones in the market."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became lively.

"It's really an antique!"

"I didn't expect Takahashi to be able to identify treasures."

"No way, he really got it right?"

The younger generation talked a lot, and their faces were more or less surprised.

When they heard Akagi Kazuhiro say that this teacup was at least a thousand years old, they were even more shocked.

Akagi Kazuhiro held the cup and couldn't let it go.

Akagi Aoi had to ask the servant to get a new set of tea sets for Shirakawa.

The other five elders saw Akagi Kazuhiro's affirmation of Shirakawa and showed their approval. Shirakawa also talked happily with them and had no obstacles in communicating with these elderly people.

Since the upgrade of the appraisal technique, Shirakawa can see the personality characteristics of these people, and he can cater to their interests, so there will be no awkward situations in the chat.

"I didn't expect that Takahashi, at such a young age, is quite knowledgeable about treasure appraisal."

"You are worthy of being the new head of the Takahashi family."

"You are so eloquent, no wonder Chihiro agreed to fulfill her engagement with you."

Seeing the family elders praising Shirakawa, Akagi Harumi frowned slightly, which was completely different from what she wanted to see.

Akagi Miki was also frightened by the bunch of technical terms that Shirakawa said, and felt that her cultural level seemed to be behind.

"Damn, how can he know so much?"

Akagi Miki sat down depressedly, and Akagi Harumi beside her comforted her, "Miki, everyone has their own areas of expertise, maybe he is good at this."

"Takahashi, you came at the right time. I collected a batch of good things not long ago, and I haven't had time to carefully appraise them. Are you interested in taking a look?"

The elderly family elder Akagi Kazuhiro asked.

Shirakawa nodded, "Of course."

So, Akagi Kazuhiro and other elders led Shirakawa directly into the inner room.

Akagi Chihiro and Akagi Aoi also followed in. Other young people wanted to go in, but were stopped.

They could only continue to feast in the hall with regret and curiosity.

"Damn, what's so great about it, it's just knowing how to appraise treasures."

Akagi Miki said willfully.

"Don't be childish, we lost and we lost. We wanted to see him embarrassed, but he showed off."

Akagi Harumi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly,

"Doesn't this just show that Sister Chihiro has a good eye?"

"Humph, I didn't lose, he must have deceived Sister Chihiro, I want to expose his true face and let Sister Chihiro cancel the engagement with him, he is not worthy of Sister Chihiro at all."

Akagi Miki said seriously.

"Stupid, stupid sister, even if Takahashi-kun is not worthy of sister Chihiro, you can't say it in this occasion."

Akagi Maha said while pulling Akagi Miki.

"He can chat so happily with the elders, which is also considered capable."

Akagi Takayuki said.

Akagi Shuzo raised his glass, "Yes, Takahashi-kun is a handsome man, why do you have to target him? Even mother didn't say she opposed it."

"This is the Takahashi family trying to marry us, of course we can't let them succeed."

Akagi Yumie said.

"Yes, the reputation of the Takahashi family has plummeted, and the old nobles have lost their face. Now they just want to use us to revive."

Akagi Yasuhiro said.

"Such a downtrodden family is going to marry the pearl of our family. This is really ironic."

Akagi Yoshiko said, she is the sister of Akagi Aoi, and belongs to Akagi Chihiro's elders, and those who just spoke are all Akagi Chihiro's peers.

Unfortunately, no matter what they say, they have no right to oppose the marriage of the head of the family.

The head of the Akagi family has absolute power. Even if she wants to marry a commoner, no one will dare to stand up and oppose it.

Akagi Miki just hopes that Akagi Chihiro can see Shirakawa's true face and cancel the engagement on her own initiative.

At this time, in the inner room.

Akagi Kazuhiro showed six items in front of Shirakawa.

One of them is a copybook, three landscape paintings, a broken sword, and a Buddha head.

"This copybook is the original work of Wang Xizhi."

Akagi Kazuhiro felt that Shirakawa knew a lot about Chinese culture, and couldn't help showing off.

The other five female elders and Akagi Chihiro and Akagi Aoi also looked at the calligraphy curiously.

Akagi Chihiro reached out and touched the calligraphy,

"It's written so well, fluent and elegant, and done in one go."

Akagi Chihiro felt that the words in front of him, even if they were not antiques, were very valuable for collection.

Akagi Aoi looked at her daughter's liking. Although she didn't know calligraphy as well as her daughter, she couldn't help but admire,

"It really looks like a master's work."
