"Because the real Fuochre Sword happened to be in my collection." He met the two old men's bright eyes.
The Ai Ci said.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
Old Master Jiang suddenly snorted. "But how do you know that yours is real and mine is fake?"
Ai Ci: Because her sword was personally given to her by the owner of the Fuochre Sword, Rong Yao!
Unfortunately, this reason could not be said out loud. Forget it, let's analyze it from a professional point of view.
"First of all, the bronze sword craftsmanship of the Qin dynasty was at its peak,
Some swords don't even have many traces of rust today,
They're still as sharp as ever,
They can cut through eighteen layers of paper,
And the color is usually grayish-yellow, "the Ai Ci said tirelessly.
"Although this sword looks fine at first glance, look at these crystals,
They're not thick enough,
They don't look like they've experienced natural oxidation for thousands of years. If you compare them carefully with the unearthed Qin dynasty bronze sword,
You'll also find that the color of the two is somewhat different. "
"And according to the tools used at that time,
The grinding marks on the head of the sword should be in the shape of a ring along the circumference... "
"If you still don't believe me,
You can take this sword to do a chemical quantitative analysis,
See if its copper-tin ratio matches the craftsmanship of the Qin dynasty. "
Her slender fingers pointed at various positions of the bronze sword,
She pointed out the flaws of the sword one by one,
Old Master Jiang and Old Master Gu stared at the bronze sword and fell into deep thought.
Old Master Jiang loved collecting antiques the most in his life,
But in fact, his taste was not very good. It was just that because of his high status, the people he met usually did not dare to fool him, so he collected a lot of real antiques,
But this time, the person he met was too daring.
Old Master Jiang said angrily, "Okay,
I'll settle the score with that person later! "Money was not a problem,
It was just that using fake antiques to swindle people was really a taboo.
Old Master Gu asked, "Miss Ai also knows about antiques?" Old Master Jiang was present, so he did not intend to reveal the Ai Ci's identity.
The Ai Ci said, "In our line of work, we naturally have to know more about classical culture."
"So you can appraise other antiques?" Old Master Jiang suddenly asked.
Ai Ci: "Yes."
Old Master Jiang turned to ask Old Master Gu, "Is this child still useful to you?"
These words … why did it sound like he was asking, "Do you still need this thing?"
Sure enough, Old Master Jiang continued, "If it's useless, I'll borrow her home first and then let her take a look at my other treasures."
Old Master Gu said, "You can just ask any expert to take a look. Why do you have to snatch someone from me?"
Old Master Jiang said confidently, "Can't I find this little girl pleasing to the eye?"
"Alright." Seeing that Old Master Jiang thought that he had agreed and was overjoyed, Old Master Gu added slowly, "I'm not lending it to you if it's useful."
The Ai Ci, who had been silent all this while, was speechless. Did you ask the person involved for his opinion?
If you ask, she'll go with whoever offers the highest price.
"Why are you so overbearing?" Old Master Jiang was dissatisfied.
"First come, first served. First come, first served." Old Master Gu took a sip of tea. "Miss Ai is a guest that I invited first. Old Master Jiang, you have to change your habit of jumping the queue."
"When did I like to jump the queue? … "
Seeing that Old Master Jiang and Old Master Gu were about to quarrel, the Ai Ci sat still like a mountain and slowly tasted the high-quality Dahongpao tea. She did not intend to mediate the fight, but her phone vibrated at this moment.
"Hello —"
When Gu Ting picked up the phone, he only heard Old Master Jiang's familiar loud voice and his grandfather's slow response from the other end of the phone.
He was silent for a second before asking, "Where … are you now?"
"Your home." The Ai Ci picked up the phone and nodded to Old Master Gu before going out to answer the call.
"Was that … my grandfather's voice just now?" The old man could not have suddenly come to Yunnan, so the Ai Ci could only be in the capital.
"That's right."
"You …" Why did she suddenly come to the capital?
The question was about to come out of Gu Ting's mouth, but he could not say anything for a moment. He seemed to be shocked, but also not so shocked. He seemed to have a premonition about her supernatural abilities.
The Ai Ci said, "I told you long ago that I'm a master. I can shrink the ground into an inch and travel a thousand miles in a day. Haven't you heard of this kind of magic?"
Gu Ting was silent.
"Gu Ting." Ai Ci called him from the other end of the phone. Come to think of it, this was actually the first time she called his name. Her clear and moist voice was like a clear spring that streaked across his heart, bringing with it a strange comforting power.
"Actually, it's not that you don't believe in supernatural powers and gods. You just hate these things."
…
On Weibo.
As expected, Gu Ting's new Weibo caused a huge uproar.
Truth Emperor: There are a total of two Weibo posts, and they were both posted for the assistant. The assistant is the only person he follows. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If these two people don't have a special relationship, I'll live broadcast myself eating sh * t!
Bubble: She's not the only person he follows. Just now, he suddenly followed a bunch of artists in the industry. I seriously suspect that the manager stole his account to make up for it in time.
Casual Together: This Ai Ci is really resourceful. Tian Qi and Gu Ting are speaking up for her. Last time, there were paid posters, but they were suppressed in the end. A newcomer with no works. How many times has she been on the hot search?
Guessing: Their relationship is definitely not simple, but because our Xiao Tingting has no criminal record and has a clean background, I have reason to believe that the person he is willing to befriend must not be a bad person. She shouldn't be a kept woman. I guess her family background is the same as Gu Ting's.
…
Gu Ting's Weibo post successfully suppressed the discussion about the Ai Ci's academic background. However, now the Internet was full of speculation about their relationship. The previous secret marriage was dug up again.
At this moment, the official Weibo of "Youth's Walk" suddenly posted a Weibo congratulating the Ai Ci.
There were two posts in a row.
One was a daily record of the set. From the Ai Ci helping the prop team move props, to drinking coke under the osmanthus tree, to helping Tian Qi with her homework, they were all posted. The other post was a mix of some of the Tang Li scenes. They specially selected the most beautiful scenes and made a simple preview.
Coupled with Lin Qing's wave of manipulation, the secret marriage was suppressed, and the public opinion was gradually directed to the Ai Ci's debut.
Lychee: So she really has works? She's cute, her acting skills are not bad, and she's beautiful (emphasis). I don't care what kind of power she has behind her, or what kind of persona she intends to create. Anyway, I'm a fan.
Mango: Even if it's only a few minutes of mix, I can see that her acting skills are really good! Her eyes! Her temperament! Oh my god! My graduation thesis was to study the literary works of General Han Jing. She really acted out the feelings in his works!
Hami Melon: Finally, there's a drama that's willing to properly cast a white moonlight! They won't randomly find someone to fool around with just because they have less scenes! In the past, the drama said that it was white moonlight, but I think it was white rice:). After watching the Ai Ci act out Tang Li, I finally believe that white moonlight is really beautiful in the hearts of men!
Ai Tuji's Global Fan Club: ↓ "Speed Departure", Tang Li trailer, daily record of the set, Ai Tuji's video of the beauty saving the hero, mixed cut ~ Our bunny is so handsome, we don't want to have a scandal with a stinky man. [Video]
After the professional scissorhand behind the fan club account, Xiao Li clicked send, she specially spent a lot of money to buy promotion.
She became a fan of the Ai Ci after the broadcast of "Speed Departure". She had already fought 300 rounds with the haters before. Also, due to her professional scissorhand sensitivity, she had long been itching to use the Ai Ci as material to edit a wave of videos.
The new video released by the official Weibo of "Teenage Girl" was like a pillow given to her when she was sleepy. She immediately thought of something and quickly edited a version of the video.
The video was majestic, the rhythm was tight, and every scene was very seductive. After it was released, its popularity increased rapidly. Sure enough, it attracted a lot of fans in the Ai Ci circle.
… …
At this time, the set had already wrapped up.
Gu Ting did not leave. When Director Huang came down, he specially walked over and said, "Director Huang, thank you."
Director Huang waved his hand, "It's nothing. About the official Weibo, I still have to thank you for reminding me to let them release some good videos. Tang Li can't be full of negative comments before the drama is aired."
Director Huang asked again, "But are you sure you don't want to change your assistant? Ai Ci should be signing with a company to debut. With your status, it's not convenient for a female assistant. "
"I won't change my assistant for the time being." Gu Ting, who had just talked to the Ai Ci, felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he did not realize it himself. "She doesn't have a company for the time being, and she doesn't have any other jobs. It'll be more convenient for her to continue being my assistant."
… …
The Ai Ci hung up the call with Gu Ting and returned to the house. The confrontation between the two elders had ended, and Old Master Jiang was obviously at a disadvantage. He was sitting far away on the other end of the sofa with a sullen expression on his face.
Old Master Gu saw her come in and smiled helplessly at her. Although Old Master Jiang was angry, he refused to leave, which made it difficult for the two of them to continue the conversation.
The Ai Ci said considerately, "Old Master Gu, you don't have to worry. Wearing this has the effect of calming the mind and helping you sleep." She handed over a small bag.
"As for the problem you're worried about, I've already paid attention to Gu Ting."
Old Master Jiang suddenly sat up straight on the other side. "Ha! I told you that you wanted the young lady to go on a blind date with Gu Ting! Young lady, the grandson of this family is too old for you. My second grandson is about the same age as you. Do you want to consider going to my house to take a look? "
The Ai Ci was speechless.
"I'm sorry, Old Master Jiang. I don't go on blind dates," the Ai Ci said.
"Then come to my house and help me take a look. My house is not far away, just next door. I think you and Old Master Gu should be almost done talking. The appraisal fee will be five times the expert's fee in the market. How about it? "
How could he not take the money that came knocking on his door? The Ai Ci's heart skipped a beat.
Old Master Gu thought to himself, It seems that Old Master Jiang won't leave today without inviting the Ai Ci. Then we'll talk about the business between them tomorrow.
Old Master Gu said, "Forget it. Miss Ai, just let this old stubborn man be. I'll invite Miss Ai to my house tomorrow for a chat."
"That's great. Old Master Gu, you're really easy to talk to today. To express my gratitude, I'll give you this sword." Old Master Jiang happily threw down the bronze sword, stood up, and said to the Ai Ci, "Xiao Ai, let's go quickly."
"Old Master Gu, I'll take my leave first. I'll visit you tomorrow morning." The Ai Ci stood up.
"Okay, take care."
…
Old Master Jiang hurriedly left the Gu family's house with the Ai Ci. After entering his house, he mysteriously pulled her to a corner.
"Xiao Ai, can you sell me that real bronze sword of yours?"
The Ai Ci raised her eyebrows. She was wondering why he insisted on dragging her to his house to appraise the treasure. It turned out that he had an ulterior motive.
Seeing that the Ai Ci was silent, Old Master Jiang said again, "I know that a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Why don't you lend it to me for two days?"
The Ai Ci looked at him with a faint smile. "Old Master Jiang, are you going to play with it yourself or share it with your friends?"
Old Master Jiang's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, How can she see through me? He immediately said embarrassedly, "Ah, Xiao Ai, I'll tell you the truth. It's like this. I have a group of friends on WeChat. Every now and then, we'll hold an appraisal meeting to show off everyone's latest collection."
"When I received this bronze sword, I was really excited. I've already spread the word that I'll definitely surpass everyone else in the next appraisal meeting and come out on top. After all, no one in our group has ever received a bronze sword before. Moreover, this bronze sword has a story and is famous. Don't you think this will definitely be an eye-opener for everyone? "
"But … now that this sword is fake, how can I show it to the appraisal meeting? I'm already so old, yet I still have to embarrass myself so much. Ah … "Old Master Jiang said sadly.
The Ai Ci: So why do you still like to boast at such an old age? It's not surprising that you're showing off before it's even appraised.
"Xiao Ai, if you don't want to sell it, I can pay you the rental fee! Just take pity on my reputation. I can't let it fall in my old age! "
The Ai Ci: "… Okay."
Old Master Jiang said happily, "That's great, Xiao Ai. I really like your straightforward personality very much! It's already time for dinner. Why don't you stay at my house for a meal? After dinner, you can take a look at my other collections, okay? "
The Ai Ci smiled and said, "Then I'll do as you say."
…
On this day, Old Master Jiang's children and a group of grandchildren happened to return to the old mansion for dinner. Seeing a young and beautiful girl behind the old man, Old Master Jiang's daughter, Jiang Ling, immediately pulled a long face.
"Dad, who is this? We're eating as a family. Why did you bring an outsider? "
Old Madame Jiang had passed away for ten years. Although as the younger generation, they did hope that their father could have another companion in his old age, how could this companion be such a young girl?
Jiang Ling sized up the Ai Ci from head to toe and felt even more dissatisfied. She looks like a vixen. It's obvious that she covets wealth and wealth. She's so young. Instead of working hard for herself, she wants to hug someone's thigh and soar into the sky?
How could Old Master Jiang not guess what she was thinking when he saw her expression? He immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Ai is an important guest that I invited!"
Jiang Ling's brother, Jiang Qi, had always been much calmer than his sister. It was obvious that the relationship between the Ai Ci and Old Master Jiang was not what his sister thought. However, when he thought about things, he would often think deeper and deeper. His gaze was also sharper. He asked, "I'm really sorry. My sister is impatient. I wonder if this lady can introduce herself?"
After the Ai Ci said her name, Jiang Qi quietly sent a message.
[Check this woman carefully. Her name is Ai Ci. She's about 20 years old. The photo will be sent over later.]
"Ai Ci?"
