Chapter 294 Destruction of Cultural Relics
Seeing Chen Yang asking about the origin of the table, Zhu Jiashuang knew that Chen Yang was embarrassing him, and cursed in his heart.
He did act very knowledgeable just now, but he remembered it in advance, and now he is asked to judge the origin of this table, he knows nothing, and how can he know the origin.
However, seeing the eyes of Xiao Yun and Liu Zhiling looking over, he didn't want to admit it.
After all, he wanted to get these two beauties, and it would be too embarrassing if he admits to cowardice.
Even if this guy is bleeding, he still has to pretend.
"In that case, let me take a look."
Zhu Jiashuang walked to the table pretendingly, took a closer look, and then touched it with his hands. It looked as professional as it could be.
Then, he squatted down and looked under the table.
If it was made by a famous craftsman in ancient times, he might see the imprint on the bottom of the table. He still knows this basic common sense, so he has a glimmer of hope, expecting to see the imprint on the bottom of the table.
It's a pity that the bottom of the table is blank and there is no mark.
However, he saw something else. There was actually a nameplate hanging on a nail, which read "Granite desk, dedicated to Emperor Wenzheng."
Seeing this, Zhu Jiashuang was overjoyed. With this clue, at least he would be able to justify his pretense, and it would not be so easy for others to see through.
"Strange, why is the nameplate under the table?"
Zhu Jiashuang was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the nameplate was hung under the table so that no one else could see it, so it happened to help him.
He got out from under the table, pinched his chin and looked at the table with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After dozens of seconds, he finally said: "I see, this desk is a granite desk from the reign of Emperor Wenzheng of the Feng Dynasty."
Seeing Zhu Jiashuang speaking in a serious manner, Liu Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhu Jiashuang froze for a moment, frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, nothing."
Liu Fei quickly put away his smile and waved his hands.
Chen Yang calmed down, and asked with doubts on his face: "Granite desk? Why do I think this desk looks like wood?"
In fact, Zhu Jiashuang also felt that this table looked like wood, but it said granite on the nameplate, so he couldn't be mistaken.
He explained: "Due to the age and long-term use of this table, the granite has undergone qualitative changes, the structure has changed, and it has been infected by residual pen and ink pigments, so it has the current shape. But it is also Because it looks like wood, the value of this granite desk is very high."
After saying this, Zhu Jiashuang secretly praised himself, thinking that he was really a genius, and this explanation was perfect.
After hearing this, everyone was also secretly amazed. They were full of curiosity about this table, and stepped forward to touch the table one after another.
"The texture of this table, which is exactly like wood, is amazing."
"It's also fortunate that our family is well-informed. Otherwise, I would have thought this table was made of wood. It would be a joke."
"However, this table does not seem to be very old."
The last sentence was said by Liu Zhiling. Although she couldn't see the clue, she felt that this table did not have the background of having experienced history.
Zhu Jiashuang continued to brag: "Because the texture of the granite changes, history has not left traces on it, which means that this table is constantly being refurbished, so you will have this feeling."
At this moment, Zhu Jiashuang felt that he should be awarded a statuette.
"However, why is there no granite pattern on this table?"
Chen Yang looked down at the desktop with a serious expression on his face.
Zhu Jiashuang said with a smile: "You don't understand that. It is precisely because this piece of granite has no lines or cracks that it is so precious. You must know that this kind of granite is absolutely rare in the world."
Seeing Zhu Jiashuang boasting triumphantly, Chen Yang praised: "Tsk tsk, old pig, you are really well-informed."
Stupid, you are convinced now.
Seeing Chen Yang praise him, Zhu Jiashuang was even more proud, saying: "So-so, I understand a little bit."
"But this table seems very light."
As Chen Yang said, he stepped forward and held a table leg with one hand, lifted the table up lightly, and made two movements of extending his arms.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
If it was granite, how could this table be lifted up so easily by Chen Yang.
When Chen Yang put down the table, Liu Zhiling stepped forward and said, "Let me try."
Although Liu Zhiling couldn't lift the table with one hand, she lifted it up with both hands, frowned and said, "It's strange, why is it so light, it's not like granite."
Chen Yang said to Zhu Jiashuang: "Old pig, come and give us a popular science, why this granite table is so light."
Why so light? How do I know.
Zhu Jiashuang was complaining incessantly, but still bit the bullet and explained: "Maybe it's because of the age, the granite material of this table has been weathered, so it's so light."
Seeing Zhu Jiashuang's guilty look, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Are you sure this is a granite desk from Emperor Wenzheng's reign in Feng Dynasty?"
The corner of Zhu Jiashuang's mouth twitched, and he said bravely, "Yes, of course."
"Well, you say yes."
A smirk appeared on Chen Yang's face, and he said, "Since it's granite, let me test the hardness of this table."
As he said that, he raised his hand and was about to shoot it down on the table.
Zhu Jiashuang hurriedly said: "Stop it, you will destroy the cultural relics like this."
Chen Yang stopped his movements, turned his head to look at Zhu Jiashuang, and said with a smile, "Don't you say it's granite? I'll slap it down with a light palm. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"If it's new, of course there's no problem, but after such a long time, this table has been weathered and corroded, and the internal structure has changed. Maybe it can't bear your palm anymore."
Zhu Jiashuang said with a cold snort, and said contemptuously: "Chen Yang, you are really immoral. You can do such a thing of destroying cultural relics."
Chen Yang said: "Are you afraid that this table is not granite and that I will smash it?"
"How could it not be, it is indeed granite."
Although the table was very weird, the nameplate gave Zhu Jiashuang absolute confidence.
"In this case, let's try the hardness."
Chen Yang chuckled, and before everyone could react, he slapped the table with his palm.
With a click, the table shattered into pieces, and was shattered into seven or eight pieces by Chen Yang, scattered on the ground.
And the table was broken, without the paint and white ash covering it, revealing its original appearance.
The color of wood, the texture of wood, the texture of wood.
It turned out that this table was originally a wooden table, no wonder it didn't look like granite at all, everyone almost believed it just now.
However, why did Zhu Jiashuang say that this is a granite desk, and why is it so categorical?
Everyone looked at Zhu Jiashuang suspiciously. Although they didn't question him, their eyes revealed what they were thinking.
Zhu Jiashuang's face was ugly, and he felt completely humiliated.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the fragments of the wooden table, he picked up the nameplate, pretended to have just discovered the expression, and said: "See, this is really a granite desk."
