Chapter 60 The Battle of Scrambling for Angelia
Chapter 60 The Battle of Scrambling for Angelia
Several people heard the voice and looked up.
Mr. Martin looked at Angelia doubtfully.
He couldn’t help doubting her because of her young age.
“Little girl, are you able to check it?”
“A little.”
As she wanted to become a cultural relic restorer, of course, she had some knowledge of ancient
cultural relics.
Mr. Martin looked at the others and clenched his teeth.
“Fine! You have to help me to see whether my snuff bottle is genuine or not! “
Angelia carefully picked up the snuff bottle in the box and observed it carefully under the light.
The snuff bottle was round, with a narrow neck, copper plating on the point and neck. The body of the
snuff bottle was painted with blue and white flowers. The colors were bright and the patterns were
exquisite.
The upper and lower parts were decorated with gold color, and the gold pattern at the bottom was like
petals, rich and luxurious.
But it was because the color was bright that people would think it was a fake.
Most of the antiques left in ancient times had a long history. After years of erosion, the color turned
gray and often with cracks.
But the bottle on Angelia’s palm was still intact.
Everyone opened their eyes to see her every move for fear of missing something.
Mr. Martin was anxious and worried.
“How is it, little girl?”
Angelia smiled and put the snuff bottle back in the box.
“It’s a genuine one.” She nodded to Mr. Martin.
Mr. Martin was relieved in a moment, and became curious again.
“How can you see that?”
Angelia wiped her hands and added tea to Mr. Martin and Thomson Miller.
“Snuff bottles are different from other antiques. Some people think that the materials and workmanship
of snuff bottles are more important than the age.”
“This snuff bottle is delicate in pottery and beautifully painted. From its appearance and texture, it can
be seen that it is of the best quality.”
“In addition, the signature form of the snuff bottle in the 14th century is unique. This colorful porcelain
snuff bottle will have a blue script at the bottom. Mr. Martin, although the signature of your snuff bottle
has been worn down a little, it was the real one.”
Angelia said reasonably. Everyone came up and looked at it. As expected, they saw the signature
below.
“That’s true!”
“But the color is too bright, isn’t it? It looked like a fake.”
Angelia said slowly, “Snuff bottles were produced in the Renaissance. If it is well preserved, the color Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
will not be too different.”
Mr. Martin was very happy.
“See? What she said was all true! Do you still have any questions?”
Several people nodded in succession. They apologized to Mr. Martin instantly, as they didn’t care about
losing face.
“We are so impulsive. Please accept my apology.”
“Mr. Martin, you are still powerful.”
Mr. Zhang groaned a few times triumphantly. Then he turned to look at Angelia with a smile on his face.
“Girl, I didn’t expect you to know so much about antiques because you are young.”
“Yes, generally, young people don’t like it.”
“Girl, what’s your name?”
Angelia was just about to open her mouth. Thomson Miller sat on the chair and knocked on his walking
stick. His tone was full of pride.
“She is my daughter-in-law.”
Everyone was surprised.
“Ah! Is it Jonathan’s wife? Jonathan is really blessed.”
“Oh, I heard that today’s birthday feast was prepared by you alone? No wonder as soon as I come in, I
feel different. It’s very good! “
“Young and promising. But...”
An old man in the back said a half sentence and stopped.
The crowd turned to him.
“But what?”
The old man stood up, stroking his beard, and walked slowly to Angelia.
“But...” He frowned and made everyone nervous.
When he saw the scene, he suddenly grinned like a naughty child.
“Please help me to have a look. My son gave me the porcelain perfume vase. Is it authentic?”
“I’m so worried,” he said anxiously, “but I dare not take it to appraise. I’m afraid that will hurt my son’s
heart.”
As he said that, he had taken out what he had with him.
He made people feel as if they had been in the roller coaster.
But after his ‘reminding’, they all crowded up.
“I had bought an antique cup last month. Can you help me to appraise it?”
“Oh, I didn’t bring it today. What should I do?”
“Where do you live? In two days, no! Tomorrow! Tomorrow I’ll find you and show me my two vases.”
Michael and Jennie gaped, standing aside.
Those men were over half a hundred years old. All of those powerful strange-tempered old men came
to scramble for Angelia and tried to take her away. They almost started fighting.
It was amazing!
Soon, what was going on here had attracted many people.
The people who had been in the banquet hall gathered unconsciously.
There were fewer and fewer people left into the hall. Jonathan finally finished a dance, eager to find
Angelia.
He looked back and instantly saw that everyone was standing in the courtyard. Some couldn’t squeeze
in, so they have to stand by the window and looked.
‘What are they looking at?’
Jonathan went over curiously.
Felix hurriedly reached out to pull him, but grabbed nothing.
“Jon, where are you going?”
Jonathan didn’t pay any attention to her.
Felix was angry to gnash her teeth. She stamped on the ground a few times and hurriedly chased after
him.
A lot of people gathered in the courtyard, but nobody spoke. There was only a clear voice in the quiet
environment.
“Mr. Harper. Since you have the certificate of appraisal, your vase should be an authentic one.”
“I don’t accept it. You have to help me to check my vase as you have helped them. Who knows if the
appreciation certificate is a sham?”
When they heard this, they were all shocked.
Mr. Harper’s antiques are all sent to prominent connoisseurs for identification, which was the most
authoritative.
They didn’t expect that the certificate wasn’t as reliable as a word from the little girl in front of them.
Angelia had no choice but to do it.
Now she had identified all the antiques they had brought, but some of them hoped that she could go to
their house and identify the big things that they hadn’t brought.
It was reasonable to say that they shouldn’t buy any fakes, because they were well-known people, but
they are still worried.
She was in a bit of a quandary.
“I have classes in daily time. If I have time on weekends...”
“OK! Come to my house this week! Girl, I’ll pick you up myself! “
Before Angelia finished, someone rushed to interrupt.
The others were not happy.
“Next week is my turn!”
“Oh, don’t rob my opportunity! I’ve already said that! “
Several people saw that they were going to battle again. Angelia hurriedly stopped them.
“Mr. Harper, Mr. Spencer, please don’t argue with each other. If I finished school at ordinary times, I can
go to your house.”
So a few people began to scramble for her after-class time, and soon it was well divided.
Jonathan saw the scene in front of him.
With a happy smile on her face, Angelia had a good time talking with several seniors, and everyone
around looked at her.
She became the focus of the crowd again.
The night wind blew, and the begonia flowers just bloomed.
Petals fell on her hair. And she gently took them off, smiling like flowers.
