Chapter 96
But soon, two onlookers suddenly became angry after seeing the words on the bottom of the lamp.
They all come from wealthy families in Haizhou, and they consider themselves to have extraordinary eyesight and insight.
"My antiques are not only tens of thousands, but also several thousand. Isn't this just a bottom line? What does it mean?"
"Is this brat insulting us for being illiterate and uneducated?"
Ye Zunlong shook his head and looked at the two Haizhou people as if they were fools.
"You do know the words, but you really don't have the culture."
Upon hearing this, the two Haizhou people immediately ran away.
But he was stopped by an old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit next to him.
"Listen to what he says first."
The old man was dressed simply and had nothing of value, except for a bead on his wrist, but he had an aura of calmness and dignity.
"Is your Excellency from the imperial capital?"
"For your sake, let's not argue with him."
The two Haizhou people seemed to recognize the old man's identity and restrained their emotions of going berserk.
But the look he looked at Ye Zunlong was still angry.
Ye Zunlong ignored them and continued to speak calmly: "If this eight-treasure purple-gold glazed lamp is real, should the bottom of the Ming Dynasty official kiln be written in traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese?"
"Nonsense, where did the simplified Chinese characters of Ming Dynasty come from?"
"Do you think we are stupid?"
The two Haizhou people couldn't help shouting again.
However, at this moment, the old man in Chinese tunic suit suddenly interrupted: "Shut up, you two. This kid is right. You two are indeed uneducated and extremely stupid. The bottom of the fragment is engraved with simplified Chinese characters, which is enough."
It means that this eight-treasure purple-gold glazed lamp is a fake."
Hearing this, the two Haizhou people took a closer look at the fragments in Ye Zunlong's hand. Their faces instantly turned the color of pig liver, and they were ashamed.
Things from the Ming Dynasty are engraved with simplified characters that are only available in modern times.
It's not a fake, it's nothing.
It took them a long time to realize such a simple truth.
At this time, other onlookers also understood.
Some people secretly said they were lucky, thinking that it was a good thing they didn't say anything just now.
Otherwise, it would be them who would be embarrassed if their intelligence was revealed now.
Some people looked ugly and wanted to run away quickly or find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
After all, the contrast between the way they pointed at Ye Zunlong and talked eloquently just now and now is really huge.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts."
"Both of us are really ashamed."
The two Haizhou people clasped their fists respectfully at the old man in Chinese tunic suit, and then quickly ran away.
"Hmph, you should apologize to this little friend, not me."
The old man in Chinese tunic suit snorted coldly, and two bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood up behind him and stopped the two people who wanted to escape.
The guests on the 8th floor all have similar status, except the old man in Mao suit who comes from the imperial capital, and his status and strength completely overwhelm them.
Other onlookers also began to be filled with indignation, trying to cover up their guilty conscience.
"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard. The cultural level of these two people still needs to be improved."
"Looking at their accents, they are from Haizhou. It is really embarrassing to Haizhou."
"Next time, remember to be more low-key and don't pretend to understand, so as not to make a joke."
"You are right, I and I must pay attention."
The two Haizhou people didn't dare to say anything more. They apologized and left in disgrace with the permission of the old man in Chinese tunic suit.
Seeing this, the other onlookers burst into laughter.
Then, several people pulled the fat man up from the ground.
