"You come first or I come first."

"I don't need to appraise this piece of forest heart. I have seen this piece of forest heart when I was in the appraisal agency. You may not know that one of the appraisers who appraised this piece of forest heart is my teacher. The famous scholar Wu Yifeng."

After Ming Shilan mentioned Wu Yifeng's name, many guests present were surprised, even Patriarch Yang.

Ming Shilan looked at Shi Ze proudly, expecting to see his frightened expression.

But Shi Ze didn't know much about this, and he didn't know who Wu Yifeng was, so his reaction was very flat, and Ming Shilan's expectations were doomed to fail.

"Then it's up to me to identify it now."

Shi Ze looked at the heart of the forest, and the reason why he was certain that it was not the work of Master Ronan was because the works that were carefully carved by the sculptor and poured countless painstaking efforts, would be tainted with the breath of the sculptor, and would last for a long time.For example, in the heart of the forest in front of him, in his eyes, there is a mixture of the aura of gems and the dark aura of blood and violence. The latter is engraved on the gems by the sculptor.Master Luo Nan was merciful throughout his life and did many good deeds. In his later years, he even donated all his savings. With his merits and virtues, it is absolutely impossible to engrave such a dark atmosphere on gemstones.

The sculptor of the Heart of the Forest was someone else, who was equally skilled, and most likely a contemporary of Master Ronan.

It's just that it's inconvenient to say the basis of his judgment, and others will only think he is crazy and stupid.

On the contrary, Patriarch Yang said just now that the horns of the sika deer in the heart of the forest are a bit strange, and perhaps we can start from this point.

Shi Ze observed the Heart of the Forest for a long time, staring at its horns.

"After watching it for so long, I haven't seen anything famous yet?"

Ming Shilan looked at Shi Ze mockingly, "Let's just give up, do you think that the identification of jewelry is just by looking at it?"

The guests became a little impatient seeing Shi Ze staring at the heart of the forest for so long.

"Second Master Shi, you should give up, don't waste everyone's time."

"I'm willing to admit defeat."

"When you see Miss Ming in the future, remember to bow down and salute."

Those who spoke were all young people, they were the gangsters of the family, they were used to being arrogant and didn't know how to restrain themselves, Shize's good luck was envied by them, they were deliberately making things difficult for Shize.

"Hmph!" The veteran Shi slammed his cane on the ground, "The conclusion hasn't been reached yet, who gave you the courage to quarrel here?"

Zou Tangzhou also chimed in: "Anyone who is not quiet, go out."

Those who spoke were immediately stared at by their elders, and they dared not say anything.

Ming Shilan gritted her teeth secretly, she couldn't understand why the Zou family helped the Shi family so much, she still remembered the shame of the Zou family kicking them out at the last birthday party!

"Patriarch Zou, Shi Lao, even if you are elders, you can't ignore the bet, right? Are you two going to break your word?"

"Who loses and who wins is still undecided, so you can't hold your breath?"

Shi Ze finally raised his head, glanced at her coldly, and then said to Patriarch Yang: "Patriarch Yang, please ask someone to turn off the lights."

Turn off the lights?

Patriarch Yang doesn't know what he's up to, but in the final analysis, he dragged Shize into the water today. I'm ashamed of Shilao. Turn off the lights as soon as you turn them off. The security on the scene is tight, so there won't be any problems.

"Turn off the lights."

The lights in the venue were quickly turned off, leaving only the light in the showcase.

Wearing gloves, Shi Ze moved the Heart of the Forest in one direction, and turned on a small flashlight with his other hand, which he borrowed temporarily from Patriarch Yang.

He circled around the heart of the forest, and finally stood in a position, shining the light of the flashlight on the heart of the forest.

The light and shadow projected on the snow-white wall were the shadows of a few sika deer. When Shize moved the flashlight lightly, the light and shadow moved with it, and then stopped after a while.

I saw the crossed horns of the sika deer on the wall, forming a pattern of fox eyes.

The fox's eyes are long and narrow, and it looks very evil.

The guests present were all stunned, most of them didn't understand what was going on with the fox's eyes, but Patriarch Yang saw it, and he exclaimed: "This is the symbol of the shadow fox!"

Shadow Fox was a famous star thief hundreds of years ago, and he was also a jewel thief. All the jewels he targeted were stolen, and he himself is also a very skilled jewelry engraver. , will leave a fox's eye pattern, most of which are very hidden and difficult to find, such as the heart of the forest.

The guests present were in an uproar.

"That's right, this is the Shadow Fox's logo, it's exactly the same, it can't be faked."

There were also several jewelry masters present, and they said with certainty after seeing the fox's eye.

Everyone was even more astonished, which means that the Heart of the Forest is really not the work of Master Ronan?

Shi Ze was right!

Patriarch Yang is very happy. Although the heart of the forest was imitated by Yinghu, Yinghu was also a famous figure hundreds of years ago, and his works have been handed down to the present. After these twists and turns, it becomes more story-like, and these added values ​​are enough to make it as famous as Master Ronan's real works!

"Shize, thank you, you helped me solve my doubts and preserved the value of the heart of the forest!"

When everyone was happy, Ming Shilan's face turned pale, and those who made things difficult for Shize just now lost their smiles.

"It seems that the Second Master Shi won this round."

"After that, this proud young lady of the Ming family will just take a detour when she sees Shi Ze?"

"I would like to bet and admit defeat, she was quite arrogant just now."

Ming Shilan's face became paler and paler with these voices in her ears, her lips were pursed tightly, and her nails were pinched in her palms.

Then she turned around suddenly and left the venue in a hurry.

Everyone turned their eyes away from each other, thinking that this young lady from the Ming family was nothing more than that, she didn't even have the bearing to lose.

Shi Ze and the others saw it too.

"What does she mean by leaving?" Zou Haiyang was dissatisfied.

"Let her go, as long as she abides by the bet and doesn't come in front of me again." Shi Ze said.

Zou Haiyang put away his dissatisfied look, nodded and said, "That's right, she really stinks."

Zou Chuan next to him looked at Shi Ze with complicated emotions, and didn't speak for a long time.

He was wondering if Shi Ze could see the heart of the forest, whether he really had the ability or was it a coincidence.

"Shilao, Second Master Shi, Patriarch Zou, you have been standing there for so long, please come inside, let's talk inside."

Patriarch Yang happily invited Shi Ze and the others to drink tea in the rest area inside, and now he couldn't wait to know how Shi Ze saw that fox eye.

Shi Lao was happy with Shi Ze being warmly received by others, and was helped in by Shi Ze with a smile on his face.

……

The jewelry appraisal meeting of the Yang family was originally just an ordinary social activity in the upper class, but because of the gambling between Shi Ze and Ming Shilan, the topic became very popular, and it quickly spread to all the upper class circles in the imperial capital. Ze was about to make a detour.

"Shilan, what's the matter with you, didn't I tell you not to provoke Shize?" Ming Shihan looked at Ming Shilan with a sullen face.

Ming Shilan was angrily reprimanded by Ming Shihan, and she was also very wronged, "I didn't expect Shize to find the shadow fox logo at that time. It should have been a safe bet."

"Why haven't you understood yet, you shouldn't bet with him and lose your identity for nothing!" Ming Shihan said.

Ming Shilan gritted her teeth, thought she wanted to do this, originally she just wanted to humiliate Shize, who would have thought that it would become like this, now the entire upper class circle in the imperial capital is watching her jokes, who can tell her grievances and embarrassment!Why does her elder brother just blindly blame her? Isn't this incident Shi Ze's fault!

"Brother, things are like this now, if you don't help me figure out a way, why do you keep blaming me? Do you really want me to detour when I see Shi Ze in the future? Why should he!"

Ming Shihan took a deep breath, only feeling a splitting headache.

During this period of time, he can only fall asleep after lighting the aromatherapy given by Ming Shilan at night, but once he wakes up, he feels uncomfortable all over, has a splitting headache, and becomes more and more unable to handle things. His weight dropped sharply, and he was very upset about it. Ming Shilan was his sister, who didn't know how to help him, and even caused such embarrassing things, scolding her and talking back.

Holding back his temper, Ming Shihan looked at Ming Shilan with deep eyes, "You rest at home during this time, and go out after the storm subsides, then naturally no one will mention this matter, it's just a gamble, even if Dare to say it behind their backs, and dare not show it, they dare not offend the Ming family."

Ming Shilan is not reconciled, why should she hide in the house and cannot go out to meet people.

But she also knew that what Ming Shihan said was right, it was best to wait until the matter subsided before going out.

"I know, I won't go out."

Only then did Ming Shihan look away, and hurried upstairs after leaving a sentence to remember your own identity. He needs to be calm and rest now, and only the fragrance in the room can help him.

Ming Shilan watched him go upstairs, and returned to her room after a while, opened the secret door of the cloakroom, looked at the things inside, and knelt down.

"Why did I lose? Since I enshrined you, shouldn't everything go well?"

"You have to help me."

***

At the jewelry appraisal meeting, Shi Lao didn't like to go out very much, except for Patriarch Zou and others who came to visit, he didn't see other guests.

Anyway, after showing his face, others will know how good his good grandson is, and that's enough.

When Shi Ze knew what he was thinking, he couldn't laugh or cry. He changed Shi Lao's body-rejuvenating incense these days, and made medicinal food for him himself. Seeing that Shi Lao's complexion improved, he felt a little more relaxed.

At the school, he has already decided to study with Professor Zhu, and he has agreed to do experiments with Professor Zhu in the past today.

In addition to the compulsory daily courses, there is no need to go to other classes for the time being.

"Shize, come here." Professor Zhu beckoned to Shize.

Shi Ze put down the experiment in his hand, "Professor, what's the matter."

"Do you know about the joint entrance examination of ten schools in half a month?" Professor Zhu asked him.

Shi Ze: "I know."

"I heard that the Imperial side attaches great importance to the entrance examination, so the method of the entrance examination may change. You are my proud student, and you are indispensable for the entrance examination. You must be mentally prepared."
