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

In fact, not only Xu Jieyun, but Mr. Chen also felt that Lin Ran's judgment was a bit abrupt.

Even if what he said before makes sense and the jade belt only belongs to the owner of the tomb, to judge the age of an ancient tomb, just seeing the cultural relics is not enough.

Otherwise, like the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty that they visited before, there were also tools from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty inside, and they belonged to the ancient tombs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Archaeological work is not solely determined by the age at which cultural relics were built.

Lin Ran came to his senses at this time. What he cared about just now was not the quarrel between Xu Jieyun and himself.

In fact, whether it is a Song Dynasty tomb or a Tang Dynasty tomb has nothing to do with him.

What he was more concerned about was this belt.

This is already 15 jade pieces, but if you see there are gaps next to the jade pieces, it means that the jade pieces are not finished yet.

Who on earth has such a huge waist?It was impossible for any famous general in Lin Ran's impression to do it.

He was just thinking about this matter and raised his head when he heard Mr. Chen persuading him.

"Mr. Chen, I only made a preliminary judgment that it is an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty, and I am not sure." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"That's right." Mr. Chen nodded to Xu Jieyun next to him, who looked better now.

"Why is she angry?" Lin Ran was a little confused. Although Xu Jieyun looked quite young, Mr. Chen had told himself on the way here that she was almost 40 years old.

At this age, he can still be easily angered.

Lin Ran didn't understand.

Mr. Chen sighed and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder.

"Little Master Lin, you are indeed very talented, but sometimes you should also pay attention to other people's thoughts." Mr. Chen educated him like a veteran.

If it were anyone else, Lin Ran wouldn't bother to pay attention.

He feels that the most troublesome thing about doing things in China is dealing with others, which often has no other meaning except a lot of mental exhaustion.

However, as someone who has experienced it, he can understand.

He meant what he said just now, but in Xu Jieyun's ears, it meant something else.

He had also seen the work process of the archaeological team before.

Archeology is not an easy task. If the results of their judgment are overturned so easily and they accept it directly, it means that they need to be well prepared.

The more serious a person is, the more they value results.

Lin Ran forced a smile to Xu Jieyun: "Captain Xu, I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in watching something just now that I was so bored that I said the wrong thing. I just said that, so don't take it to heart."

Lin Ran's words sounded more or less perfunctory to Xu Jieyun's ears, but at least he expressed his position. He couldn't argue with this young man anymore.

Xu Jieyun came to the side with a cold face and said: "The members of the archaeological team are still busy down there. You should tell me the basis for your judgment."

She was very concerned about what Lin Ran said just now.

Lin Ran didn't plan to continue talking. Talking too much would easily offend others, and now he had some ideas of his own.

However, Mr. Chen encouraged Lin Ran: "Master Lin, please tell me your reasons."

Mr. Chen was somewhat confident in Lin Ran's judgment. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that Lin Ran seemed to know a lot about ancient tombs.

Xu Jieyun felt that what he said was not necessarily right, but he could also ask him to explain his reasons, and he could consider whether there was any problem with the logic.

Lin Ran picked up a piece of jade and said, "I just told you, first of all, this is a jade belt from the Tang Dynasty. Do you agree with this?"

Since you want to persuade others, it is best to use less affirmative sentences and use more thinking methods to lead them into your own logic.

"Yeah." The two nodded.

Because there is a gap in the corresponding four corners on the upper and lower sides of the jade piece.

It does look like it's for stringing.

Seeing that they didn't deny it, Lin Ran nodded and continued.

The reliefs on the jade pieces they saw were all warriors or ladies.

The shape of the warrior is not too conspicuous, but the shape of the lady, as long as anyone in the archaeological field sees it, can tell that it is a very obvious Tang Dynasty style.

Fatness is considered beautiful, and the painting style is gorgeous.

Xu Jieyun does not deny that the jade belt is from the Tang Dynasty.

He just frowned and said: "I already know that this is a cultural relic from the Tang Dynasty, but how do you judge that this is a Tang tomb?"

Lin Ran nodded and continued: "You guess it was collected by a wealthy businessman later. This is also normal."

"I don't know how you judge the age of the tomb, but."

Lin Ran picked up the jade piece and said: "The jade belt was a special reward in the Tang Dynasty. It is not allowed to be resold, let alone given to others."

"After death, they must be taken into the tomb together. It is a gift from the emperor." Lin Ran explained.

Xu Jieyun snorted coldly: "Are you not aware of the style of the Ming Dynasty? Rich businessmen in the Ming Dynasty were willing to spend huge sums of money for antiques."

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many famous collectors.

Even the items belonging to the previous kings were explicitly prohibited from resale during their dynasty, and they were still circulated privately among the people.

If discovered, it would be a capital crime. In this case, they are willing to take risks, which shows their love for collecting.

Xu Jieyun was even more convinced of this, because they had initially judged through detection that the owner of the tomb was a wealthy businessman from the Ming Dynasty.

In any era, having money often means having more options.

If the tomb owner wants to obtain a jade belt from the Tang Dynasty, there are two ways.

The first is to encounter tomb robbers. Tomb robbers don't care who the dignitaries are. Especially in ancient times, tomb robbers were more rampant and would directly remove the grave goods from the corpse.

Even if he had the jade belt attached to his body when he died, the end would be the same.

Another possibility is that the wealthy businessman actually bought the belt through someone else, and it may have been circulating in the market for a long time.

Not to mention that in ancient times, some wealthy businessmen would raise their own tomb robbers to go to ancient tombs and then make a living by reselling these cultural relics.

In short, it is unscientific to judge the age of an ancient tomb through a cultural relic.

Yang Ming and Mr. Chen were shocked and had already guessed what Lin Ran wanted to say.

Lin Ran frowned and said, "It shouldn't have been dug out before."

"How did you judge?" Xu Jieyun asked.

Lin Ran was getting older and older. Why did he make such a conclusion? Unless he was watching from the side, how would he know whether this thing had been dug out by others.

Lin Ran replied calmly: "Captain Xu, think about it, in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was considered the capital at that time."

"Yes, so what?"

"This place is almost close to Yanjiao. It takes more than 30 kilometers to drive here."
