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

"Robbing? Are you out of your mind?" Altaïr replied mercilessly.

He hated the tomb robbers in his heart and felt it was a shame to sit at the same table with them.

If he catches the opportunity, of course he will humiliate the other party.

The staff was a little embarrassed, but Lin Ran waved him over.

Lin Ran said: "We can only understand it through literature. How can any descendant of Khitan know so much?"

After his reminder, the others remembered that when they entered, they were introduced that this shy middle-aged man was a descendant of Khitan!

The pronunciation he just made was obviously not the pronunciation of Chinese characters.

The reason why he spoke just now was because Xu Yi was so familiar with this cultural relic.

There used to be one in his father's tent, but it disappeared because of the tribe's relocation.

The staff carefully handed the cultural relics to Xu Yi, but he did not dare to pick it up.

It was only with Lin Ran's encouragement that he stood up.

He first bowed to everyone present, and then said with a blushing face: "I don't understand cultural relics as well as Mr. Lin, but I know the characters on it, Yaonan clan. This cultural relic is called Qiang among our original tribe. , I really don’t know how to translate it in Chinese.”

"Perhaps you can translate it into Duo." Lin Ran smiled.

The Yaonan clan was the tribe before Yelu Abaoji became king.

Xu Yi nodded, and then explained: "After the decree is promulgated, the priest will use the ceremonial guard to beat it back and forth to make a clear sound, which is a bit like the use of gavel in the Song Dynasty."

He had finished what he could say, and then bowed to everyone before sitting down.

Then, the venue burst into applause!

"Wonderful appraisal!" Batur said with a smile, "This is the first time I have seen a descendant show up to speak in person, and it is more weighty than the words of any appraisal master!"

Altaïr was also silent. He carefully observed the cultural relics in front of him, and it was the first time he knew its use.

But he was even more confused, what was the origin of these tomb robbers?

Generally speaking, only people who don't know anything will become tomb robbers. Those who are a little bit educated, whether it is a treasure appraisal shop or a museum, are willing to wave to them.

They finally figured out one thing. This strange cultural relic turned out to be a musical instrument.

Far beyond my own knowledge.

Batur seemed excited and immediately asked the staff to bring up all the remaining cultural relics.

For some reason, he felt that with Lin Ran and Xu Yi around, he believed that all problems could be solved.

"This is a black gold garment. It was originally a metal garment worn close to the body when buried. However, because the corpse has decayed, you can only see the clothes without the human form. In Khitan, there is a saying that if the body is not separated, the spirit will not be separated."

"The octagonal bronze medal has an octagonal shape. There is an octagonal hole in the middle. In each trapezoidal frame, there is a humanoid beast playing a musical instrument. It looks like some kind of toy."

"No, the beasts above are actually shamanistic totems. Each frame represents a musical instrument. When thrown at the banquet, whichever side faces you will play which instrument."

...

The appraisal meeting has become an educational meeting for Lin Ran and Xu Yi.

Everyone else listened quietly, and even the elderly professor took out his notebook and took notes.

I really benefited a lot from this appraisal meeting. I was originally worried that I would not be able to know the specific properties of the cultural relics and would have to leave them in the museum to gather dust for a while.

They already have too many of these artifacts in their warehouses.

Unexpectedly, the two people invited back by the curator were very knowledgeable. They could learn about one cultural relic in almost five minutes, and the descriptions were very detailed, and they didn't seem to be talking nonsense.

Altaïr was secretly amazed by their performance, but he didn't want to show it.

Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked aside. If there were one or two cultural relics, they could be attributed to Lin Ran's good luck.

In the world of collecting, people believe in one thing besides their eyesight.

luck.

No matter how high the appraisal level is, it is difficult to encounter precious collections if you are not lucky.

Obviously, the boy in front of him has both. It would be great if he had this kind of talent in his archaeological team.

His mentality has changed. After the last cultural relic was appraised, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

They all felt a little hungry, but they had been analyzing the food just now, which made them ignore the protests of their bodies.

Now I feel relaxed, fatigue and hunger fill my body and mind.

Batur kindly invited Lin Ran and Xu Yi to have a meal in the museum's restaurant, but Altaïr stood up directly.

"Your restaurant is too plain. How can you let distinguished guests have a working meal? Batu, you don't understand etiquette." Altaïr still had a sullen expression.

"Yes." Batur said, "Let me invite you to have a meal at the Chifeng Hotel. There are dishes from the capital there that you should like."

"I'm talking about you..." Altaïr showed a disgusted expression, "Are you really a fool to be a curator? You come all the way to Inner Mongolia just to eat home-cooked food?"

Altaïr's words reminded Lin Ran of Jiang Hao. Although they were mean in words, they were kind at heart and well versed in human affairs.

The bad impression I had on him just now is much better now.

Lin Ran quickly explained: "It doesn't matter. I'm here to assist you in your work today. We have to go back to the museum to meet Brother Liu and the others. Let's talk about dinner next time."

Batur has a bold personality. Since the other party refused, he was not polite and said: "Okay, we are quite busy in the afternoon. I will definitely treat you to Mongolian whole lamb another day!"

"Okay, goodbye." Although they are city dwellers, they still retain the character of nomads.

They were about to leave, but Altaïr stopped in front of Xu Yi.

"Looking at your accent, are you also a Mongolian?" Altaïr observed carefully.

"No, according to the Chinese classification, we are the Daur tribe. We were originally affiliated with the Dawada Banner. Later, the chief of the tribe asked us to merge into the Central Plains culture. Our tribe responded to the call and migrated to the vicinity of the capital. Although there are still people who live in groups, most of them Some young people have already integrated into local life." Xu Yi replied sincerely.

"Oh."

There was a long silence before Altaïr said a word.

As if remembering something, he turned around and left the museum.

"What a weirdo." Lin Ran looked at his back and said, his character was a bit bad, but not bad either.

"I think he's quite good." Xu Yi said with a smile, "At least, after being forced by him, I found that I dare to speak."

"You have such a shy personality."

"What is Dou Aimu? Mr. Lin, what tribe are you from?"

"Of course I'm Han." Lin Ran was a little speechless. Xu Yi was very happy today. No one was willing to communicate with him about the content of his usual research. Therefore, he started talking more and Lin Ran could only listen. While thinking about it, he went back to the hotel to meet Liu Jingfeng.
