Chapter 18: Passing through the three levels at night (3)

Gan Ziyi rolled his eyes: "You are so stupid! No wonder you can only be someone else's maid, but you can't be a lady. Let me tell you. If he says what he says, I can't say it, otherwise even if I say it, what if I say it? Can't he say it? These two people have such disadvantages when they pass the level."

Ruyan was stunned for a moment and thought carefully! "What about you?"

"Mr. Li and I each passed the level, and the answer was correct. Two people passed the level together. One person was wrong, and the two people lost the same failure. How about it?"

"Isn't this right?" Li Ciming said: "It's like the jade porcelain barrier, I can express all the income from reading. When I reach the next barrier, if my brother answers wrong, would he also want to bomb me off the boat?"

"There are some risks when you pass the level." Gan Ziyi smiled mysteriously: "Besides, it is also a blessing you have cultivated in your three lives today. Is this only enough to compensate for your regret of not being able to get close to Fangze?"

Li Ciming didn't think too much, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Since that's the case, then good! I will join forces with this brother Taiwan to overcome the situation! Even if I finally returned disappointed, I will be the only one who made my friend."

"That's right, a man, you can take it and let it go. You are also a scholar. Wouldn't you hear the truth about losing something and gaining something?" The tone of the master of Gan Ziyi's teaching students, coupled with his stupid smile, was particularly strange.

Ruyan thought for a while, and was about to refute, at the sound of the stairs, a maid came down and handed her a piece of paper. Ruyan opened it and looked at it: "Okay, but what if this young master is at the third level?"

“Draw lot decision.”

"Okay." Ruyan looked down at the contents on the letter paper and made a decision: "Just follow the young master."

Several people stood up from the cabin, led by Ruyan, and walked to a cabin door behind the screen. Before entering the door, they could smell the fragrance of flowers rushing into the nose tube. When they entered the room, dozens of pots of peony flowers of different colors were already placed. Looking at it, the colorful flowers were full of flowers, which made people completely snatched by this flower tree, and they couldn't speak for a while.

There was also a girl in the cabin who was also wearing a three-bunny bun like Ruyan, but she wore a lilac dress. When she heard a noise, she turned around and smiled before she could speak: "Sister Ruyan, is someone coming again?"

"Yes, Ruhua, this is the first time today." Ruyan turned around and glanced at Li Ciming, gave Gan Ziyi a few more glances, and then turned to Ruhua's face, deliberately said in a tone that everyone could hear: "However, only one of these two young men can be called a young man, and the other one..." After the words that followed, the few people couldn't hear clearly, but seeing the two girls laughing together, they could tell that there was nothing good about it.

Ruhua smiled and walked up to the three of them, Yingying squatted and saluted: "Two young men, maids are polite."

"Girl's goodbye. I'm going to Zhejiang Li Ciming, this person is..." Li Ciming was stunned. From the time he got on the boat, he still didn't know the other party's name!

"The person in Xiajing City has the surname Gan and his name is Ziyi."

"Aren't you from Tianjin?"

Gan Ziyi glared: "I am a native of Tianjin, but now I live in Beijing, but I have not changed my local accent. Can't it work?"

Ruyan was so angry that she could not helpless. She hated this annoying guy in her heart, and snorted and stopped talking.

Ruhua looked clumpy with a good temper. She pointed to the peony flowers she cooked with her hand and said to everyone: "The peony flowers here are all cultivated by my lady. You can watch them and you dare not make the branches and leaves fall, otherwise my lady would be angry."

"Yes. The students know." Li Ciming agreed and asked again: "I don't know what the method to pass the level is based on?"

"As long as you can choose three of the five rare books, purple, white, yellow, red and pink, you can tell them their names and names to pass the test."

"It's not difficult to say that." Li Ciming was very knowledgeable about reading, and this kind of learning of plants and trees was also very gained. Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He walked forward slowly, walked over, pointed to the white pots of flowers and said, "This is Xiaozhuang Xin, Yin Han Ling, Lotus Xiang Bai, and the last book is called Yu Xiaoyao. These purple plants are called Juxiang Silk, Mo Zilou, Baozhuang Cheng, Su Zhuyin."

He paused for a moment and found that the other party was very grateful. He was excited and said, "The pink flower is drunk with Xi Shi, resentful, green and red, plain makeup is broken, and the effect is bright red. The crimson flower has the crown of all the flowers, and the heavenly craftsmanship is as beautiful as the beauty, and the drunk with beautiful red. The yellow flower has the imperial yellow robe, the yellow is wins, and the golden belt is surrounded by yellow loves yellow."

Ruhua was stunned for a moment and said, "I really didn't expect you to be a big expert. It seems that I have to worship you as a master."

Li Ciming smiled reservedly and looked very proud: "How dare I get such praise from a girl? It's just because I have a preference for my personality, so I have been a little bit involved. If I take it seriously, I am better at supervising antiques and porcelain."

Su Shun was also admired by the side and said in a low voice: "Master, look at me, this Li Ciming is not a big deal, it is indeed something in his heart."

"What's this? It's just a skill of learning and remembering for a good job." Gan Ziyi smiled: "Didn't you read it? He only said the name of all the flower books, but he didn't know the one corresponding to the name!"

Su Shun looked carefully and it was true! It can be seen that Li Ciming had indeed passed this level by relying on his knowledge and memorization: "It's still the master's wise eyes. If the master didn't give me some advice, I'd be afraid that he would be blinded."

"It's hard to say that you're confused. It's just that today's scholars can also learn about such articles, which is not easy."

Speaking of this, I happened to hear Li Ciming say the last sentence, and Gan Ziyi immediately said: "This is not possible! Brother Li is proficient in flowers and trees. I should be the evaluation of the jade porcelain treasures below."

Ruyan seemed to feel unhappy if she didn't fight him. "You can judge it? Without Mr. Li's foresight, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to learn to play with the words, right?"

"No, there is no. The money left and right has been given to you. Even if Brother Li and I finally returned, what does it have to do with you? If you are reluctant to leave, you might as well find some common jade and porcelain to let me go up to the highest floor of the Qiong Building and linger with you for a while."

Ruyan was so angry that she snorted and spat: "Who can't bear to leave?" She felt very angry and made up her mind to make things difficult for him! See how dare he be so arrogant?

After coming out of the flower cabin, the little girl named Ruhua also accompanied her. Everyone followed the stairs upstairs and turned to the right. Ruyan pushed open a door and went in, stood by the door, and invited guests with her bare hands: "Young Master Gan, please come in."

"Hey!" Gan Ziyi stepped inside like a big look, and did not forget to joke with her: "Tonight, you said so much, only this sentence is like a maid."

The implication is that what others say is not very good. Ruyan widened her beautiful eyes and followed him angrily. Her eyes rolled, and she thought of an idea: "Young Master Gan, you are all maids who don't understand the rules. Please give me a big shot, right?"

"Forget it. I will forgive you. Tell me, how can I pass the level?"

"No need to hurry to pass the barrier. My maid is in charge of cooking my lady's books, antiques, porcelain and other items in this dream boat. Among them, Mr. Gan is not hiding some of them. Even my lady cannot tell me about it. Today, I am a good friend. Mr. Gan is very proud of it."

In Ruyan, he thought that he could understand one of the classics, history, and cultural relics. It would take twenty or thirty years of hard work. Mr. Gan kept saying that he had great experience in antiques and porcelain, and he was very confident. If he really saw through them one by one, he would definitely let him see the lady - Sai Xiangjun had something to say. If she could pass two levels, she would have to descend to meet. If there was only one Mr. Li, it would be fine, and there would be a rough man. When he saw the lady, his words would be rude and made the lady dislike him. Wouldn't even Mr. Li have to suffer a disaster in vain?

Therefore, we have to find a way to stop him in the second level, and we must always let him sit for a long time and move to the land early. So we came up with an idea for her: "Young Master Gan, what do you think?"

Gan Ziyi couldn't figure out her thoughts. Although Li Ciming's show-off just now might not be clever, it also aroused his enthusiasm as the helmman of the Qing Dynasty: "Okay, what do you don't understand? Just ask. Can I solve your doubts for you?"

Ruyan was secretly happy in her heart and deliberately used words to squeeze him out, "Prince Gan, please relax. This is either passing the level or answering the wrong answer, it doesn't matter."

This sentence became a snake's foot. Gan Ziyi thought about it and understood what she was thinking about, but she must not lose face at this time. "Don't worry, it's nothing even if you treat it as a step in the way."

"Young Master is so quick to speak. Please wait." Ruyan looked at the bookcase in the room and took a few books and placed them on the desk: "Young Master Gan, please."

Gan Ziyi picked up one of the books of the Song Dynasty, and took them in his hand and looked through a few pages, put them aside, and picked up another one, which was also the Song Dynasty version of the Three Kingdoms, and another one was the stereotyped "Baihutong" of the Yuan Dynasty. Others were engraved in the Ming Dynasty, or published in this dynasty, which were not worth mentioning.

After seeing it, he asked Ruyan: "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know that these books are all genuine, or are there any fakes in them?"

"These Song and Yuan versions are naturally very precious, but unfortunately there are many fakes. According to the following opinions, probably only the Han Book and the Three Kingdoms are real."

Ruyan looked disbelief: "Do you say it's a fake? My lady regards these books as if they were fakes, and she doesn't even refuse to show them to others at first sight. Why do you say that these are fakes?"

"That Han book written by Ban Gu is extremely precious. It was once collected by Zhao Songxue, a famous Yuan Dynasty artist. The engraved font is extremely exquisite and square, with Ou Liu brushwork, which is a fine product in the Song version. As for the Yuan version of the Three Kingdoms, it is also extremely precious. It is a copy of the Confucianism of Jiqinglu during the Dade period of the Yuan Dynasty."

When Ruyan heard this, she couldn't help but believe that this young man who was disgusted with the words was really good at learning the version. He was dissatisfied with it and picked up a volume of White Tiger Tong and asked, "According to you, this volume is certainly a fake version, but I don't know how to fake it so much that the true Song version of Xiao Zhen?"

Gan Ziyi took it and looked at it for a while before saying, "The technique of fake Song versions is extremely magical. They used newly engraved Song versions with slightly yellow and thick bamboo paper, or Sichuan cocoon paper, or paste cotton paper, or kids white deer paper, and then rolled it with a hammer. This method is called 'scraping'. Then it is printed with ink that soaks away the odor."

Ruyan forgot that this annoying guy had added to him and said dumbfoundedly: "It turns out that the procedures are so complicated, it's no wonder that it's really messy."

"There are many other techniques! For example, deliberately make one or two broken parts in the new edition, or make the paper wet and moldy three or five pieces, breaking and replenishing."

Ru Yan said: "These techniques are really amazing. I'm afraid few people in the world can see that this is a new fake version."

"There are many techniques for fake versions, such as the first and second prefaces and year names of the first and second prefaces in the open book. Or the covers the engraved names marked by modern people, leave blanks and engraves small seals, and fills the surnames of the Song people. At the corners of the two ends, one corner is worn with sand and gravel, or one or two missing marks, a lamp is burned to remove paper hair, and still use grass and smoke to make yellow, which is like a broken old trace of the ancients. Or the whole set of books is placed in a rice cabinet to allow insects to get rid of holes and leak holes. These techniques are very clever, and only experts can see it."

Ruyan was dumbfounded when she heard this. After a while, she smiled and said, "Young Master Gan probably had a business of fake versions of books. Otherwise, how could he be so expert?"

Gan Ziyi deliberately stunned for a moment: "I am ashamed of being praised by the girl, so I dare not take it!"

Ruyan Ruhua and a few others, and at the same time they couldn't help but chuckled, feeling that this person didn't seem so annoying.

The learning of books is difficult for Gan Ziyi. Ruyan secretly admires him, but she is even more curious. She wants to see how much he knows? She doesn't believe it, and there is no one that can be difficult for him?

She asked Ruhua to help, opened the bookcase, took out a few pieces of porcelain from it, and placed it aside: "Mr. Gan, I should really ask you to pass the level next. If you can pass this level, my lady will come out of the house and meet you."

Gan Ziyi rolled up his sleeves and looked eager to try: "In order to see Miss Saixiangjun's true face, I can't help but work hard."

After this treasure appraisal, Ruyan already knew that Gan Ziyi was not as rude and unwilling as he seemed on the surface. She said and did everything she said and did since boarding the ship. She curled her lips and said, "I just said a few serious words and started to show off again."

Gan Ziyi picked up a teapot and looked at it for a while. "This teapot is very rare. It was made of Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty. The glaze color is mainly light green, which is similar to the color of "rain passing through the sky and the blue clouds" in the Chai Kiln. Usually when monitoring the Ru kiln, you must check that there are sesame flowers and small nails on the bottom, which is the real Ru kiln. "

Li Ciming picked up the teapot and turned around and saw that the bottom of the pot was indeed as he said, and couldn't help but admire it very much. He smiled and said, "It's really amazing. What Brother Tai said is so great! I really don't know how much I know about my brother Tai. I know the little bit, and it shows that you are proficient in porcelain and have reached an incredible level."

Gan Ziyi smiled complacently and reached out to pick up a porcelain hole flute: "Porcelain is extremely rare, not for the difficulty of firing, but because the tone is difficult to correct. Often, one or two can not be found in the three or hundreds of pieces. Most of the existing people in the world are ancient relics of the Dehua kiln in the Song Dynasty. Although it is not in tune, it is still extremely precious!"

After saying that, I looked at the blink of an eye. Several people opened their mouths wide and looked at themselves blankly: "What are you doing? Could it be that I was going to blow the flute? I don't know. I'll give it to..."

He originally wanted to let Ruyan girl Tan try playing the flute on her mouth, but even if Fengyue people heard this, it was too frivolous. Although Ruyan had been fighting every now and then, it was the child's mentality after all. It was not necessary to joke with her, but it was not necessary to tease her. Thinking of this, he put the flute aside: "Who can? You can volunteer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl's voice sounded at the door: "Young Master, why not let me give it a try?"

Ruyan Ruhua stood up and shouted, "Miss?" She ran over to the person who came.

Gan Ziyi and others stood up from their seats, looked at this place, selected Shunyan, and became Saixiangjun, who was the life of Lu Yingke.

As expected, as his name is, he is born petite and delicate, just like Li Xiangjun, who was like a fragrant fan pendant back then, with her eyebrows not dewy and lips not verdant. She wore an emerald green silk shirt, with earrings of the same color hanging down beside her ears, and a golden step of jade between her hair, with skin better than snow. She stood there gracefully, and she was really a beautiful beauty who was so beautiful.

Li Ciming bowed deeply: "I heard about Miss Sai's reputation for a long time. How lucky is it to see you today?"

Although Saixiangjun is an unlucky gentleman, he has been taught by many people in the field of Fengyue. He squatted and bowed with a smile: "Mr. Li, you will be blessed."

"Please get up, girl." It was probably taken by the beauty in front of you. Li Ciming's movements were a little unbalanced. He reached out to help him. Halfway through, he felt rude and hurriedly retreated.

Sai Xiangjun smiled and looked at Gan Ziyi standing aside: "This one is Mr. Gan who is wise and foolish, and is willful, right?"

"Where is that?" Gan Ziyi changed into a Tianjin accent again. It's strange to say that when he didn't see this Saixiangjun, he wanted to see the true face of Lushan. When he saw it, he felt that it was just like that. For a moment, he lacked interest and even lost the energy to flatter a few words.

"Young Master Gan is too humble." Sai Xiangjun said with a smile: "Listen to my maid, Young Master Gan has passed two levels in a row and has an amazing talent..."

Before he finished speaking, Gan Ziyi waved his hand and headed with a little impatient look: "Miss is wrong. Brother Li and I are going through two levels together, but it is not my only achievement."

"Yes. Mr. Gan said, "I'm just saying that I'm wrong. Ruyan?"

"Miss?"

"It's better not to compare the next level. Please ask the two young masters to sit in the cabin. Rong Nu's house will accompany him to apologize."

"But, Miss..."

"This kind of breakthrough is just a little trick to entertain others and yourself. How could the two young men, Zhishen, be stumped by the little girl? It's so funny! Why don't you prepare?"

"No need." Gan Ziyi said: "It's too late today, and it's time for me and my servant to go home."

"What does Mr. Gan mean? Do you think my family is not well received?"
