Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"Is this really the tomb of Ming Shang? Captain Xu?" Lin Ran asked directly since they were not outsiders.

Xu Jieyun was stunned for a moment because he heard it wrong. After confirming this, he asked with some confusion: "The preliminary judgment is that it is the tomb of a wealthy merchant from the Ming Dynasty. Is there any problem?"

"Rich businessmen in the early Ming Dynasty would not collect jade belts like this." Lin Ran said.

Xu Jieyun thought Lin Ran was just talking nonsense. Although this person was introduced by Tang Lanxuan, in the current market, there are always some self-righteous antique people who have to point fingers at everything and pretend that they know everything.

"Isn't it just a jade belt from the Tang Dynasty? Rich businessmen from the Ming Dynasty couldn't collect this thing?" Xu Jieyun replied angrily, mainly because she lost a bet with Lin Ran before, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Chen walked over and looked at the two of them suspiciously, wondering what kind of dispute they had.

Mr. Chen walked over with a smile and asked, "Did you two quarrel over business matters?"

"No." Lin Ran said frankly, "I just feel a little strange."

"What's so strange?" Although Mr. Chen didn't know what happened, he was not blind. He was also very interested in the pile of jade carvings on the table. He picked up the film and took a look at it casually.

But even he was not sure what these jade carvings were for the moment.

Lin Ran said: "Mr. Chen, what you are holding is the jade piece of the jade belt."

"That's right." Mr. Chen nodded. They would invite Lin Ran here because they liked Lin Ran's knowledge of antiques, which Tang Lanxuan highly recommended.

The archaeological team went to the museum to look for helpers, hoping to find two appraisal experts to check on them.

Originally, I wanted to invite Tang Lanxuan and Mr. Chen to come. Tang Lanxuan had something important to do and couldn't leave the museum, so he entrusted Lin Ran to handle it on his behalf.

"Is there anything wrong with this jade belt?" Mr. Chen looked at Xu Jieyun. She invited people from the museum to come over. She was originally responsible for the appraisal. Even if she did not agree with the appraisal result, the conflict would not be so serious.

Xu Jieyun couldn't explain why he was angry. He just felt that a young man like Lin Ran didn't give anyone any face when he spoke, and even offended the engineering team he invited.

But to be honest, what he did was right.

"He said our preliminary measurement was wrong." Xu Jieyun said somewhat depressedly.

"Incorrect?"

"Yes, this is a jade belt from the Tang Dynasty, and it does not belong to the owner of the tomb." In order to prevent the other party from dwelling on this issue, Lin Ran directly added qualitative words.

Xu Jieyun blinked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"Have you seen the pattern on this jade belt? This is a belt given to former generals and above by the royal family. This kind of thing is not allowed to be given away casually." Lin Ran said.

"Exactly." Xu Jieyun sneered, "People are already dead. Isn't it normal for things to be bought by other wealthy businessmen and then buried with them?"

Lin Ran suddenly felt that she was quite funny.

"Comrade Xu, I would like to ask you, have you ever seen anyone's burial objects removed from other people's bodies?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

The jade belt is not given as a gift to the living, but as a burial object given directly to the tomb owner after death.

If you rob a tomb, take off the jade belt, and then put it around yourself, what's the point?

Lin Ran stopped talking to her. He held his chin with his hand and carefully looked at the contents under the jade piece.

To be honest, what surprised him the most was not that it was a jade waist from the Tang Dynasty. From the patterns of ladies on it, it could be seen that it was indeed the sculpture and painting style of the Tang Dynasty, but it was just this size.

At first glance, he thought it was a jade sculpture.

With such a thick waist, this tomb owner is really a person.

Mr. Chen listened to the argument between the two and couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Jieyun staring at Lin Ran angrily.

Finally, he said to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, why do you always speak so shockingly?"

He couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. The archaeological team often goes through a series of inspections and judgments before officially going to the tomb. They conduct interviews and identify the excavated cultural relics to determine the identity of the tomb owner.

In this regard, the archaeological team is absolutely professional.

Xu Jieyun would think that Lin Ran was confusing the situation, mainly because of his age.

If Lin Ran were about the same age as him, with his current focused expression, Xu Jieyun would think he was an expert.

Nowadays, Lin Ran is just a young man in his early 20s. His thoughtful appearance makes it difficult not to think that he is pretending, not to mention making a judgment that makes people feel incredible.

But since he is from the museum, Mr. Chen still has to get involved and reconcile the relationship between the two.

He smiled and said to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, how do you judge that this is an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty?"

Xu Jieyun was so angry that she didn't notice it just now, but now, another thing surprised her.

The respected Mr. Chen actually called Lin Ran Brother Lin.

Lin Ran actually didn't realize what he meant. He pointed at the jade piece and said, "You can look at the patterns on it."

There are a total of 15 jade pieces placed on the table, one side is flat and the other side is engraved with relief.

The reliefs are engraved with men and women respectively. The man wields a sword and the woman plays a musical instrument.

The painting style of the Tang Dynasty is extremely special. Even if part of it is worn away, you can still see the general outline.

Mr. Chen does not deny this.

He also saw that this was a jade belt belonging to the Tang Dynasty.

However, it is very irresponsible to judge that the tomb belongs to the Tang Dynasty just by looking at a jade belt.

Archaeological teams often need to conduct a large number of visits and surveys before carrying out excavation work.

It was normal for Xu Jieyun to feel dissatisfied. She emphasized again: "We have already checked before. This is the tomb of a wealthy merchant in the capital from the Song Dynasty."

Lin Ran ignored her. He was not a person who liked to quarrel. What's more, he was not talking nonsense.

Xu Jieyun was beside himself with anxiety. He didn't know what the museum meant, so he sent a young man to go to the grave with them.

Moreover, this young man was aggressive as soon as he arrived.

It made everyone in the archaeological team panic.

What does he mean.

When the archaeological team invited them over, they had already made it clear that it was an ancient tomb from the Song Dynasty, but now they even mentioned the words "ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty".

That is to say, Xu Jieyun is the leader of the archaeological team and has to stand up to protect the honor of the team.

The rest of the team were still inside the ancient tomb, and Lin Ran was making sarcastic remarks outside, which was obviously hard for her to accept.

Mr. Chen advised: "Xiao Xu, calm down and don't be anxious."

As soon as Mr. Chen opened his mouth, Xu Jieyun naturally couldn't say anything more and just stood aside.
