Chapter 257 Two Jade Cards
Chapter 257. Two Jade Tablets
These two jade tablets are both slender and rectangular, the jade is warm and moist, and the whole body is milky white. It looks like high-quality suet white jade.

It's just that the size is a little too small. At first glance, it is neither an ancient jade pendant nor a modern jade carving, but rather a pair of toys that are used to accompany each other.

However, the people present were not ordinary people after all. After a closer look, they immediately found that it was exquisitely polished, and it was by no means a folk craft.

Moreover, the word "Shanhe" is engraved on one front, and the other is "Baojian" on the back. Together, the four characters "Shanhe Baojian" correspond to the Capital Competition. Is there any connection between them?
"Sure enough! Mr. Ren, you have already obtained the recommendation qualification!"

Before everyone could ask, Lu Ziliang who was on the side first let out a low voice, his tone full of shock and disbelief.

Apart from Ren Ping, he was the only one in the audience who recognized these two jade plaques, and he had expected it beforehand, but he didn't expect Ren Ping to take out two jade plaques at once.

He walked forward quickly, and after looking at the front and back of the two jade plaques, he had no doubts in his heart, so he gave a wry smile:
"Mr. Ren, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The implication is that if Ren Ping had taken out these two jade plaques earlier, there would not be as many things as before.

At this time, the rest of the people also came to their senses. They knew that in addition to the preliminaries in various places, there was another way to participate in the Capital Competition, which was to recommend qualifications, but they didn't know the specific form.

Looking at it now, it was actually these two small jade plaques?
"Mr. Lu, what did you just say?"

Their chests were throbbing sharply, Cui Hao and the three couldn't bear it anymore, they looked at Lu Ziliang together: "You said he has already obtained the recommendation qualification for the Capital Competition?"

He pointed at Ren Ping.

Lu Ziliang was still in amazement, he just nodded and didn't speak.

When the three of them saw this, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and they stood there blankly. After a long time, their faces were full of disbelief:
"How come? I heard that the recommendation qualifications are directly controlled by the organizers of the competition. They are extremely precious, and there are no more than fifty in total?"

"That's right. To be precise, there are 35. They are recommended to the corresponding contestants by 35 famous experts in the industry designated by the organizer of the competition. Each person only has one."

Lu Ziliang said solemnly.

"Then why does he have two yuan? Who are the two referees?"

Lu Ziliang glanced at Ren Ping, although he himself wondered how Ren Ping could get two recommendation qualifications at the same time, and would it violate the original intention of the competition?However, these two jade cards can never be faked.

Immediately asked with a face, meaning is it convenient to disclose the matter of the recommender behind the scenes?Seeing that Ren Ping nodded, he turned the two jade tablets to their opposite sides at the same time and placed them in his palm.

Everyone quickly gathered around and saw that in addition to the word "Baojian" on the jade face, there was also a small word in the corner, one was "lian" and the other was "strict".

These two words are the only difference between the two jade tablets, which naturally represent the recommender's information.

As for who it is, it is not difficult to guess, "Lian" is naturally Lian Yuquan, and "Yan" is naturally Yan Jiang.

With their identities, they are both well-known experts in the industry, and each has a relationship with Ren Ping, so it is logical to recommend him.

Suddenly the situation reversed, and everyone in the three provinces was at a loss. It was obvious that the situation had completely evolved beyond their expectations, and they did not know how to deal with it.

On the other hand, Rong Qiancheng and others were overjoyed. It turned out that Ren Ping had already obtained the recommendation qualification for the Capital Competition and did not need a place at all.

In this way, not only will it not affect the previous bet, but the two places can also be given to their own juniors, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Only Rong Yi and other young people hadn't reacted, and asked in confusion: "Are these two recommended jade cards really so powerful? Can they go straight to the finals?"

"That's right, didn't you listen to what Mr. Lu said? There are only 35 pieces in total."

"Does our Spring and Autumn Alliance have one?"

"No, there isn't one. The Spring and Autumn League is only participating as one of the forces in the industry. The ten places to participate must go through strict preliminaries to determine the qualifications. It is far less straightforward than recommending qualifications. What's more, even the elders at the headquarters cannot compete with those. Compared with 35 famous experts in the industry."

"Then why did Mr. Ren come to participate in today's points competition? He could have gone to the capital long ago?"

"Stinky boy, don't you understand?"

Qi Heng stared fiercely at Qi Wulei who just asked the question:
"Mr. Ren's two jade plaques can only recommend him to participate in the competition. Others cannot replace him. The reason why he came to participate in the selection at the headquarters is to help the nine of us get quotas for the competition!"

"That's right. When I invited Mr. Ren to help our nine members, he already had a recommendation jade card, so he could refuse it directly. Anyway, even if he finally gets a place in the competition, it won't do him any good."

"But he didn't. He still chose to agree. I thought he was thinking of himself after all. Now it seems that he planned to help our nine families from the very beginning. It's really embarrassing!"

Recalling the previous events, Rong Qiancheng seemed to understand Ren Ping's "good intentions" in an instant, and was inexplicably moved.

The rest of the people naturally did the same, thinking that he wanted to get the participation quota through the Spring and Autumn League, but he didn't need it, everything was to make wedding dresses for the nine masters, and he even gambled with the Spring and Autumn League of three provinces. Take an extra spot.

After today, Ren Ping will undoubtedly be the benefactor of the entire Nine Great Families. As for his marriage contract with Su Rui, no matter whether it is true or not, naturally no one dares to object.

At this time, the audience was extremely silent, and everyone fell silent, waiting for the final result.

Ren Ping smiled slightly, and looked at Lu Ziliang: "Mr. Lu, as I said just now, I don't occupy the quota of the Spring and Autumn League. Can the two quotas be given to the Nine Great Masters?"

"Of course, of course." Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly.

"As for the gambling with Yongrongzhai that day, it was my own doing, and it will never involve the Spring and Autumn League. I hope Mr. Lu will not worry."

"Yes Yes."

Lu Ziliang habitually agreed casually, but suddenly realized that Ren Ping's words were clearly a warning rather than a hope!
Don't think that you can beat him with a single bet and fight, and rush to draw a clear line with him. If this is the case, it is not necessarily who will suffer!

Think about it carefully, isn't it so?
No matter how big the incident was, it was decades ago. Time has passed, and it is still doubtful how big the waves will be.

No matter how bad it is, Ren Ping is a young junior, and it's all right to admit his mistake. Could it be that the industry in the capital can not give up and keep chasing and beating?
As the old saying goes, you can’t look at a monk’s face without looking at his face. Now who doesn’t know that behind Ren Ping are two big guys, Yan Jiang and Lian Yuquan?

One of them is the dean of the Porcelain Institute of the National Museum, and the other is a living fossil in the industry, No. 1 in the ancient spring world.

One occupies the position of the host in the capital, which can be called half of the organizer, and the other is full of peaches and plums, with countless old students. It is said that there are two people, but in fact they are two extremely huge forces in the industry.

There are seven categories of antiques, porcelain and ancient springs, and the seven already accounted for the second. Even if they want to make it easier for them in the competition, most people would not really make it difficult for Ren Ping over a trivial matter, would they?

Unless someone deliberately made things difficult for Ren Ping, he had to weigh himself first if he was worthy enough!

Quickly comprehended in his heart, Lu Ziliang couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, thinking that his negligence for a moment almost caused a big mess and offended two major forces in the industry in one fell swoop.

If this is the case, the Spring and Autumn League will not say that it can do anything in the competition, and I am afraid that life in the capital will be difficult in the future.

Immediately, he looked embarrassed, and he kept laughing: "Mr. Ren was joking. Mr. Ren is friends with the Nine Great Masters, so he is also friends with the Spring and Autumn League. We should support each other. Why do you say that you are not involved?"

"Oh? That's not what Mr. Lu said just now. Don't you want to consider the reputation of your headquarters?"

"This...haha, I was confused at the next moment. Please forgive me, Mr. Ren. Everyone opened up the skylight and said the truth. Even Dean Yan Jiang and Mr. Lian Yuquan strongly recommended you to participate in the competition. It's enough to bear it, so where is it our Spring and Autumn League's turn to worry about it? Besides..."

"Besides, I've already said that you don't need to use the quota of the Spring and Autumn League to participate. To put it bluntly, it won't affect your reputation, will it?"

"Yes, Mr. Ren speaks quickly."

"Mr. Lu is really very good."

Ren Ping couldn't help but sneered lightly, but he couldn't help but admire this person's quickness in seeing opportunities and being able to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages in such a short period of time.

At the same time, he can be regarded as aboveboard. To put it bluntly, he is a bachelor enough, but the kind that people can't hate.

He smiled coldly at the moment: "It seems that Mr. Lu has thought it through clearly, that's okay, besides giving those two places to the Nine Great Masters, I have one more condition,"

"As long as you agree, I will treat the Spring and Autumn Alliance as a friend, and we will naturally support each other in the capital competition in the future. If you don't agree, that's okay, just treat us as strangers."
