"Gu Mian, which of the two things Professor Wang said is true?" Bai Fangfang pulled Gu Mian back to his seat with a bitter face after he had been lost in thought.
She was weak in identifying jade, and often relied on Gu Mian to pass the teachers assessment, so this time was no exception, and she directly asked Gu Mian when she was unsure.
"Both of them are true." Gu Mian replied subconsciously.
"What?" Bai Fangfang looked at Gu Ming in surprise, slightly furrowing her brow. "Both are real? But Professor Wang asked us to appraise them, shouldnt one be genuine and the other fake?"
Gu Mei came back to her senses, grabbed Bai Fangfangs hand and said urgently: "Let me see your jade cicada."
"What do you want to do?" Bai Fangfang looked at Gu Mian, who was suddenly emotionally agitated, and asked in confusion. However, her hands didnt stop moving, directly taking down the Han Dynasty jade cicada hanging from her neck and handing it over to Gu Mians hand.
Han Dynasty jade cicadas, except for a few slightly larger ones with holes on the head that are used as pendants, were basically all used as mouth-held burial jades. The one Baifang has is just one her father bought at a high price when she was young, which belongs to the pendant category of jade cicada. Although the cicadas body isnt big, its carved vividly and theres a small hole in the middle of its head for conveniently threading a string through.
This jade cicada was a birthday gift to Bai Fangfang when she was ten years old, and she has been wearing it all these years. Due to long-term wear, the jade cicada looks extremely beautiful.
Gu Mei didnt have the time to respond to Bai Fangfangs inquiry, and after taking over the jade cicada, she first put it in her left hand. Immediately, she felt a higher temperature than before, and the joy in her heart became more apparent. It seemed as if she heard the sound of cicadas chirping around her ears, just like the jade cicada had come to life.
This shocked Gu Mei so much that she even suspected whether she had a hallucination because she didnt sleep well last night, and hurriedly switched the jade hairpin to her right hand.
As soon as Jade Cicada landed on his right hand, all the strange feelings he had before disappeared. When he gently stroked Jade Cicada, he only felt a delicate warmth.
Gu Xiang didnt believe in evil spirits and tried several more times, confirming that she wasnt hallucinating. When she put the jade cicada on her left hand, there was a warmth and special feeling, but when she put it on her right hand, there was no sensation at all.
"Zhou Tao, let me take a look at your fake Jade Guanyin." Gu Mian turned around and said in a low voice to a boy sitting behind him.
Zhou Tao liked to study jade, and in order to remind himself not to be deceived by appearances, he always carried a high-quality fake jade Guanyin with him. When Gu Xiang called him, he was holding the jade Guanyin and discussing it with his classmates nearby.
Although Zhou Tao also heard the rumors about Gu Meis recent situation, as a boy, he didnt want to gossip too much about a girls private affairs. When Gu Mei asked to see his fake Jade Guanyin, thinking that she wanted to compare it with hers, he handed it over generously.
Gu Xiangdao thanked him and directly put the fake Jade Guanyin in his left hand, but this time there was no warmth transmitted to his hand, nor did he feel anything in his heart. He also didnt feel anything when he switched it to his right hand.
Its only when the genuine jade is held in ones hand that it feels warm, while the fake one doesnt. The older the jade, the better its quality, and the warmer it feels in ones hand? Gu Xiangs mind quickly turned over as she took Bai Fangfangs jade cicada and fake jade Guanyin in her hands to play with them back and forth, and the huge difference between them made her even more certain of the idea in her heart.
"Whats wrong with you?" Bai Fangfang asked curiously, looking at Gu Mians hands switching back and forth.
"Its nothing." Gu Mei was taken aback for a moment, then returned the jade pendant to Bai Fangfang and the fake jade Guanyin to Zhou Tao. Although her heart had already been stirred up by a stormy sea, on the surface she didnt reveal anything at all.
Bai Fangfang saw that Gu Ming had returned to normal and didnt ask too many questions, but instead said: "Are you really sure those two are real? This is going to be recorded in your regular grades, if you misjudged them it wont be good. I think the Huan shoes are real, but the Jinyu turtle doesnt seem like it."
Gu Xiang stabilized her mind, thinking about how to respond to Bai Fangfang. Previously, she only noticed the anomaly on her left hand and roughly glanced at Jin Qiutu and Shuang Huan, but didnt carefully observe them. She couldnt tell Bai Fangfang that she judged it based on the heat transmitted through her hands, could she?
"I think both the Double Happiness and the Money Turtle should be He Chao Bai Yu, but from the shape, the Double Happiness should be a product of the Ming Dynasty. Have you carefully observed that the glaze on the Double Happiness is not thin and has a good hand feel? The Money Turtle is an old craftsmanship, and its color does not seem to be dyed, only its glaze is not thick and the age should not be far off." Gu Xiang couldnt say out the real reason for his judgment, so he just said what he saw.
"Is that so?" Bai Fangfang was somewhat skeptical: "Professor Wang always showed us something real and something fake, several times the thing turned out to be fake after all."
"My intuition tells me theyre all true." Gu Mei looked at Professor Wang, who was as expressionless as usual, but she felt that beneath his poker face, there seemed to be a hint of playfulness.
What Gu Meng said about intuition can actually be called a kind of enlightenment. This thing is vague and elusive, no one can say exactly what it is, some people call it realm, some people call it wisdom root.
One lifetime is enough for a person to do one thing well, and thats all due to your intuition. People are destined to be mediocre in most things, which has nothing to do with intelligence or cultural level, so theres no need to feel inferior, the more you refuse to accept it, the deeper youll sink, while intuition is the guiding hand of God for you.
Distinguishing this thing, apart from solid foundation and experience, intuition is also a very important thing, and coincidentally, Gu Mians intuition is among the best in the profession, several times it was thanks to this intuition that he got the professors praise.
Bai Fangfang said that she thought the Golden Turtle was fake, but in fact, she wasnt quite sure herself. She couldnt really tell where the Golden Turtle was fake, and was just following the usual method of Professor Wangs tests, thinking that the Golden Turtle was fake.
At this moment, seeing Gu Mians affirmative face, even the intuition was brought out. After thinking about it, I decided to believe in Gu Mians words. Who made them a sworn sistership? If they die, they will die together!
After everyone has discussed it roughly, let everyone write down the results and hand them over to him.
"Alright, everyone has already had a result, now I will announce the answer." Professor Wangs gaze swept around the classroom and continued: "First of all, I want to say that both of these things are real. Those students who thought one was true and the other was fake were wrong this time. Identifying this kind of thing requires experience, but more importantly, it requires your careful observation and reasoning. You cant think that just because I gave you one true and one false last time, this time will also be one true and one false."
As soon as Professor Wangs voice fell, the classroom was filled with a burst of mournful cries, and it was clear that many people shared Bai Fangfangs judgment, thinking that one was true and the other was false.
"Gu Mian, youre amazing!" Originally still nervous and uneasy, Bai Fangfang heard Professor Wangs answer and couldnt help but excitedly grab Gu Mians hand, her smile unstoppable.
