When the bidding started, almost no one bid for this blue and white porcelain.
The bids were all slightly more than a thousand, not even two thousand.
The person who offered this price obviously knew that it was a fake.
In the end, the vase was sold for one thousand eight hundred dollars. It was almost the same price as the two thousand dollars that Jian Yiling had mentioned.
In Cai Qinyue's opinion, the final transaction price seemed to be satirizing her previous point of view.
However, Jian Yiling didn't think too much about it.
She was simply judging these things from a scientific point of view.
For example, what was the material of the paint used in the calligraphy and painting? What was the material of the paper? If these materials appeared after the time when the work was supposed to appear, then it was undoubtedly a fake.
The blue and white porcelain vase had made an obvious mistake. The seal on it was wrong.
Therefore, there was no need to go down to see if it was real or fake.
Next, the second auction item came out.
It was a painting.
"What do you think of this painting?" Wen Cheng asked Wen Nuan as usual.
"I need to take a closer look at it," Wen Nuan replied.
This couldn't be judged directly from afar. Closer observation was needed.
"Then let's go down and take a closer look."
Wen Cheng's thoughts were the same as Wen Nuan's.
Therefore, Wen Cheng gestured to the waitress in the private room who was wearing a cheongsam to take them down for a closer look.
Wen Cheng wanted to invite Jian Yiling as well. However, Jian Yiling shook her head and declined.
After Jian Yiling refused, Wen Cheng didn't ask for his daughter's permission. Instead, he went downstairs with Wen Nuan.
Wen Ruo's face turned pale.
Wen Cheng didn't bring Wen Ruo because he knew that she wasn't talented in antique appraisal.
Wen Ruo was indeed good at calligraphy and painting. She was good at painting and calligraphy, but she lacked some talent in appraising antiques.
Wen Cheng didn't want to make things difficult for his daughter, and he didn't want her to embarrass herself, so he didn't bring her along.
However, Wen Ruo didn't think the same way. Her father had asked Jian Yiling about the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. This really hurt her self-esteem.
After they returned, Wen Cheng and Wen Nuan began to talk about the painting. Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo did not even get a word in.
In the end, Wen Cheng did not participate in the auction for the sake of safety.
The auction continued.
When Cai Qinyue saw a folding fan, she could no longer sit still.
Cai Qinyue asked her daughter: "Ruoruo, what do you think of this fan?"
Wen Ruo commented, "I think it's very good. Whether it's the painting, the words, or the ribs of the fan, I can't find any fault with it."
"Do you think it's real?"
"I think so."
"You're thinking the same thing as me," Cai Qinyue replied. She also thought that the folding fan was good. She wanted to buy it.
"Ah Cheng, I want this folding fan. Can you help me bid for it?"
Wen Cheng frowned, "This folding fan … might have some problems."
Wen Nuan turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, there seems to be something wrong with the drawings and words on this folding fan."
Wen Nuan didn't dare to be too sure.
No matter how great an expert was, there would still be times when he would make a mistake.
Wen Nuan could only give a rough idea.
Otherwise, why would they call this a gamble?
At this moment, Cai Qinyue did not listen to Wen Nuan's words. She was still acting out of spite.
"Ah Nuan, if you think there's a problem, why don't you come down with us to take a look? If you can really tell that there's a problem, then I won't buy it."
Although Cai Qinyue said this, she was already determined to buy it.
In order to prevent Cai Qinyue from being deceived, Wen Nuan followed them down to the first floor.
