Chapter 238 Guan Gong vs. Guan Gong

Chapter 238. Guan Gong vs. Guan Gong

On the field, when everyone gathered in the hall to score, Ren Ping and Cui Siyi were still lingering in every corner.

At a certain moment, the eyes of the two met, and they both smiled faintly, but there was obviously no kindness in the smile.

From the brief exchange before the game, Ren Ping had realized that the other party was deliberately misleading him.

Later, it was confirmed that if you ignore the market price evaluation from the beginning and only look for hidden rules, the efficiency will be extremely low, and even if you find them, you may not be able to finish the game.

It can be seen from this that this woman belongs to the category with a deep city mansion, and she will not hesitate to use any means to achieve her goal.

Cui Siyi smiled playfully, as if Ren Ping's performance exceeded expectations, but it was still not enough to threaten her.

After a while, he said in a slightly provocative voice:

"Mr. Ren, have you found the hidden rules you just mentioned?"

"Thank you for reminding me, miss." Ren Ping gave a plausible answer, neither denying nor stating clearly.

"In that case, why don't you keep score?"

"Isn't it the same for Miss Cui? It's too early to start counting now. Why don't you walk around a little bit more and take a look? Maybe you'll find something new?"

Cui Siyi snorted when she heard the words. In fact, the hidden rules of this kind of points competition are not fixed, but are divided into multiple levels according to the combination of collections.

For example, if the same antique is matched with other different antiques, different rules and extra points will be added.

Obviously, both sides are not fully confident in what they have now, and want to do their best to find the best solution on the field.

However, time is limited after all, if we continue to waste like this, we don't know when we will have to wait.

"Why don't we make an agreement, if there is still no new discovery after 10 minutes, we will finish the race together, how about?"

After a pause, Cui Siyi suddenly suggested.

Ren Ping pondered for a while and nodded: "Okay, it's settled."

……

At the same time, the scoring session in the hall is coming to an end.

As Rong Qiancheng expected, three of the remaining children from the three provinces also met the combination conditions of the hidden rules, and each of them had an additional bonus mark behind their final points.

The lowest is "+0" and the highest is "+1".

At present, the points bonus does not exceed [-]%.

But even so, the situation is not good. Counting the previous one, the ranking of the four children has firmly occupied the forefront of the standings, reaching a maximum of 4 points, which is only one step away from the 48-point threshold.

On the other hand, none of the children of the nine families reached 40 points, and the gap was huge.

"Xiao Shuang, is what you just said true? That set of hidden rules is in the hands of Rong Yi and the others, not Mr. Ren?"

Frowning slightly, he asked again, Rong Qiancheng had a look of disbelief on his face.

As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Yi coldly.

Rong Yi has always been in awe of his father, and he has long been disliked for being obsessed with fraud, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Qi Xiaoshuang could only nod his head to express his determination.

"What about Mr. Ren, why didn't he come back?"

"He, I don't know what the hell is going on, anyway, we don't even know what he picked in the end."

Su Rui on the side interjected.

Rong Qiancheng felt even more confused when he heard the words, and didn't know what Ren Ping was planning, but it was too late to ask more questions at this time, and Xiang Rongyi glared coldly:
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and score? I want to see if you have improved during this time!"

"Yes Yes."

Rong Yi hurriedly picked up the things on the table, and walked over with Qi Wulei.

At this time, Lu Ziliang was gathering with Cui Hao, Zhuang Weinian, Fan Jingxian, Wang Jiandao, etc., to appreciate a group of jade ornaments.

This group of jadeware was the group that had just scored the highest 48 points, and it was a pity to talk about it.

Especially Zhuang Weinian, because the disciple corresponding to this combination is Zhuang Kun, the best among his disciples, he couldn't help but encourage him a few more words.

That Zhuang Kun smiled all over his face: "Uncles, don't feel sorry, my set is a little bit short, but Brother Fan's set is outstanding, and he will definitely surpass 50 points in one fell swoop!"

"Oh? Really, Zhiyi?" Cui Hao and the three said in unison.

Even Lu Ziliang looked over with great interest, it seemed that the children from the three provinces he had seen on this trip did have something that he recognized.

Fan Zhiyi smiled slightly, and instead of answering, he pushed a group of collections in front of him to the center of the table.

Everyone took a closer look, and there were uproars, obviously shocked, only Rong Yi, Su Rui, and the Qi family brothers and sisters looked at each other with smiles that were not smiles.

It turned out that what was displayed in front of everyone at this moment was the five Guan Gong statues, which were exactly as Ren Ping expected, and even the combination method was guessed.

Except for the late Qing gilt-bronze statue of Guan Gong bowing and shooting feathers that Fan Zhiyi first used to show off, which is a bronze sculpture, the other four are one wood carving, one jade carving, and one tooth carving.

And a stone sculpture that Ren Ping and Qi Xiaoshuang had seen before.

In short, the set of Guan Gong statues that Fan Zhiyi painstakingly composed are all hand-carved handicrafts, and are composed of different raw materials.

This kind of combination seems dazzling, but in fact it only has its shape, not its spirit, and it belongs to a relatively shallow collection habit.

The truly in-depth collection of Guan Gong statues pays attention to the charm of postures, such as various seated statues, standing statues, sword-holding statues, etc., and pays attention to the completeness and variety.

Like Fan Zhiyi's set, in terms of posture, except for the bow-shooting feather statue, which is more eye-catching, the other four are the most common sitting and standing statues, and they are repeated in pairs, which is inferior.

Sure enough, after the initial uproar, only those youngsters were still talking about it, such as Lu Ziliang, Cui Hao, Rong Qiancheng and other people with sharp eyesight have seen that this set of Guan Gong portraits is in name only, and it really has serious flaws.

It's just that it's a young man's handwriting, so it's okay to see it in the future.

"It's amazing! Although there are many things in the arena, it's amazing that Senior Brother Fan was able to find these five statues of Guan Gong!"

"I thought it was not easy to find the bow and feather statue just now. Who would have thought that he could find four other pieces to form a set. The meticulous water grinding work alone is amazing!"

"Yes, the most rare thing is the collection of five materials: copper, wood, jade, tooth, and stone. This is a rare combination of collections on the market. I don't think even some collectors who specialize in collecting Guan Gong statues may have them. "

There was a hint of embarrassment hidden in the bursts of exaggerated exclamation.

However, Fan Zhiyi, who was the party involved, didn't realize it, and accepted the worship of his companions as a matter of course.

Until a moment later, a sneer suddenly sounded, which was particularly harsh amidst the tide of flattery. When he turned his head to look, there was no one else.

I saw him holding the table with his hands and sneering: "It's just a combination of Guan Gong's portraits on a set of materials. What's so great about it? It's really like the light of a firefly and the sun and the moon."

"What?" All the children from the three provinces changed their faces when they heard the words.

Before they could retort, Qi Wulei turned his head and turned to Lu Ziliang: "Mr. Lu, Senior Brother Rong and I also have a set of Guan Gong statues here. I just want to invite everyone to appreciate and appreciate which one is higher and lower?"

As he spoke, he pushed the five things in front of him to the table.

Different from Fan Zhiyi's five neat statues of Guan Gong, these five items looked much uglier and even a bit nondescript. There was only one sculpture among them, and the rest were just drawings and stamps.

Several children from the three provinces couldn't help laughing when they saw it:

"What is this? These things are also worthy of being called Guan Gong's portrait group?"

"I think you guys are out of your mind, and you want to beat Senior Brother Fan with these rags?"

Even Rong Qiancheng and others didn't know why for a while. They thought that the two of them had collected other collections at random, but they didn't expect it to be Guan Gong's portrait.

But if this is the case, there should be five sculptures, why are they some inexplicable things?

Just as he was about to ask, suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the hall, it was Ren Ping.

His voice was like a bell, and he strode closer as he spoke:

"Of course this combination can win, and it wins with dignity!"
