C92 Explanation
A good auction was delayed just like that. Everyone stared angrily at Yang Xuan and waited for him to say something good.
Only one person, Tang Tianhao's father, Tang Jide, stared at Yang Xuan with interest from beginning to end.
Long before Yang Xuan spoke, the moment the red cloth was taken off, Tang Jide felt that although the surface of the bracelets were flawless and dazzling, there was a kind of indescribable disharmony. At first, he thought that it was just his imagination.
Tang Jide grinded the blue and white glazed jade on the stage, but he still couldn't see any flaw in this jade bracelet, it would make people feel that it was a fake. However, once someone revealed the strangeness of the bracelet, he would have the intuition that this bracelet was definitely a fake.
In order to verify his thoughts, Tang Jide looked at Yang Xuan, who was opening his mouth to speak, with a face full of anticipation.
If the words of this person who came with his son were true, then this person's ability to appreciate antiques was not inferior to those of some experts.
There had been a few major cases recently. He was trying to find a master appraiser, and the person in front of him was not a bad candidate.
White teeth? Yang Xuan's teeth were very white, and they hurt a bit, but it wasn't empty bite.
Yang Xuan glanced at the glowing white jade bracelet under the golden light.
This kind of jade is extremely rare, it was produced by a natural top-grade jade seed that was raised by nature, only a few pieces were found in the past few thousand years. Only this piece, which was discovered in the last year of the Ming Dynasty, is the largest, the emperor was so overjoyed that he handed it over to the Royal Family's most skilled craftsman, Master Xun, to spend half a year to meticulously craft this outstanding piece of azure jade.
Most of the audience knew about this history. After all, before the auction, the auctioneer would explain the origin of the items in detail in order to attract the people below to compete for a high price.
However, when they heard Yang Xuan's clear and magnetic voice that unhurriedly evolved the history of the jade bracelet, everyone could not help but calm down and continue listening.
"This piece of jade should have been as bright and fluorescent as the fake one on the stage, its dazzling brilliance bewitching, but after the destruction of the Ming dynasty and the prosperity of the Qing dynasty, the jade bracelet went through a few twists and turns and fell into Qian Long's hands. Thus, a bizarre event also happened."
"Ai Xin Luo, Yong Lian was delighted to see you, so he asked Qian Long for some fun. While playing, he lost his attention and accidentally fell into the inkwell. However, this prince's Mo Chi was different from other people's Mo Chi. In order to make Mo Chi live up to his name, this young prince, who was already rich and knowledgeable, had his men find a kind of black soil to cover the bottom of the pool. This kind of soil is very strange, its own color is black and sticky, but the water that floats up is very clear. "
"Qian Long sent many people to fish it up, but strangely, none of them came out. After being baptized by the passage of time, this piece of jade has lost its original brilliance, and is no longer as dazzling as it was before. However, because of this piece of jade, Qian Long, who was 80 years old, remembered his dead son and felt that his beloved son had come back to him in a different way."
"For this reason, Qian Long always wore it by his side. During the night, he was surprised to find that the lead it should have taken away and the jade bracelets it was wearing actually shone brightly in the dark night. It was dazzling but gentle and not dazzling." Qian Long was very surprised and thought this was a good omen for the heavens. He immediately gave the order to bestow the Green Flower Glazed Jade as the Night Light Incantation. "He was invited by Qian Long to spend the night in a shrine, where he was worshipped in the royal temple.
The whole auction place was silent. Everyone was listening intently. Yang Xuan let out a breath of relief as he took a bottle of water from someone and moistened his throat.
Yang Xuan rested for a moment, then the auction venue started whispering to each other.
"I've heard of the history of Broken Wild..."
"I have also heard of the legend of the Night Light oracle. The depiction inside is really the same as the Azure Flower Glazed Glass Jade on the stage …"
"Could it be that the jade bracelet on stage is really fake?"
… ….
The auctioneer's face stiffened as he looked frantically at the person in charge behind the curtain.
Yang Xuan spoke up again.
"Although the whereabouts of the jade was unknown due to the looting done by the allied armies of several countries, I have the honour to see it in a certain noble's residence once. As for who this noble is, it's not convenient for me to tell you, but it's very easy to verify the authenticity of this jade.
Actually, most of the people in the auction house believed Yang Xuan's words to be true. Many of the historical experts here had come into contact with this, but they just couldn't connect the Blue and Glazed Glass Jade with the Night Light Oracular.
Now that things had come to this point, whether it was for the guests' sake of responsibility or for the sake of their reputation of leaving the venue, this verification was imperative.
However, Tang Tianhao did not believe it. He did not know which corner of the wall Yang Xuan pulled out the fake story from, but it actually managed to fool these people who had high standards. This ability of Yang Xuan to speak lies was something Tang Tianhao admired from the bottom of his heart, and he had no choice but to applaud and pay his respects.
Pah pah pah … Teacher, your fabricated story is really marvelous. If I didn't know that you were a teacher in chemistry, I would have thought that you were some scholar from the Chinese department.
Silence filled the air. Tang Tianhao's sudden applause was like a thunderclap, startling the crowd who were immersed in Yang Xuan's story. They couldn't help but look at each other in dismay for a moment, and the answer was right in front of them.
One of the famous historical archaeologists couldn't stand it any longer and stood up.1
Young Master Tang, the records and descriptions of the Night Light Incantation in the history of the country are indeed almost the same as those of the Blue Flourishing Glass Jade. Furthermore, the time and place of the Blue Flourishing Glass Jade's disappearance could be described as such, and I don't think that what this teacher has just said is a complete nonsense.
Tang Family was considered the strongest in the clan, yet there was actually someone who didn't give Tang Family any face at all, and helped Yang Xuan refute him. Tang Tianhao was unhappy in his heart, as he glared condescendingly at the person in front of him.
"Who are you? You said that what he said wasn't a lie, so why did it have to be a lie? Who do you think you are? "
He was a famous scholar who had recently published a thesis on history. Tang Jide could not bear to see his son continue to be such a fool, so he scolded Tang Tianhao to stop his foolish and ignorant speech.
"Tian Hao, shut up and sit down. You can just quietly wait for the people who are leaving to verify."
Tang Tianhao's arrogant face changed. He looked towards the VIP seats on the left where his father, Tang Jide, was glaring at him. It seemed that if he spoke one more word, he would be able to experience the meaning of the first rattan stick in his life.
Tang Tianhao's pupils constricted and he instantly calmed down.
With no one left to stop him, the person in charge of leaving nodded his head towards the auctioneer. With a wave of his hand, he issued an order.
All of a sudden, the lights had gone out. The massive departure had turned pitch black, with nothing else in sight.
Although it was dark, the people in the auction house all stared at the stage where the blue and white glazed jade used to be.
However, what should have been a fake that did not have the night light function according to Yang Xuan's words was now faintly emitting a dazzling white brilliance.
"It can emit light, it can emit light, it's an oracle of night light, this is an oracle of night light!"
The crowd went into an uproar as the crowd stirred into action.
Tang Tianhao felt a lump in his throat and immediately reacted. What Yang Xuangaang said about the Night Light Oracular was true, but it was also true that he determined this jade was fake just now.
Tang Tianhao instantly raised his eyebrows and let out a hearty laugh, thinking about how Yang Xuan was about to be slapped in the face.
"Teacher Yang, didn't you say that the jade on stage is fake? How are you going to explain it now?"
