Chapter 241: The Eighteen Tombs of Guanzhong

"I'll say a few, I really didn't mean to, just say it casually, don't take it so seriously, right? Count me wrong, apologize to a few people......

Zhuang Rui originally wanted to come to see this wild archaeological excavation, but he didn't expect this little girl to be so difficult, so he retreated in his heart, we can't afford to provoke it, we can afford to hide.

"Apologize? Apologize is to be sincere......"

The girl called Swing turned around with her big eyes, and then stared at the big watermelon in Ermao's arms.

"Swing, don't do this, the teacher will criticize us if he knows. ”

But the young man named Yingning next to him couldn't look at it, and said to Zhuang Rui: "It's okay, let's go, it's true that idle people are not allowed to enter here." ”

"Why are you just idle people? The land you dug belongs to Uncle E's family, and you are the idle people. ”

Ermao was a little unconvinced, this was originally a vegetable field, but now it has been cleaned up, although the archaeological team compensated Ermao's uncle's family for the loss, but this land is indeed theirs.

"Okay, Ermao, don't say it, call your sister-in-law over, let's eat watermelon together, such a big one, everyone has a share." ”

Zhuang Rui was afraid that Ermao would continue to talk about it, and the two sides would quarrel again, so he hurriedly stopped Ermao and hugged the watermelon from his arms, this watermelon also weighed more than ten catties, and there was no problem for each person present to share such a piece.

Ermao saw Zhuang Rui insisting, and he didn't say anything, Zhuang Rui was a classmate of Brother Changfa and a native of the city, and he still respected it very much in his heart.

"Hee-hee, it's okay to do this earlier, I'll call my grandfather to eat watermelon. ”

Seeing that Zhuang Rui had softened, the girl smiled proudly and walked towards the bottom of the pit, but she didn't take two steps before turning around and saying, "You sent us watermelon to eat, not what we asked you for." ”

"Yes, yes, I gave it to you myself, okay?"

Zhuang Rui couldn't cry or laugh because of this girl, but he didn't get angry, although this girl was a little unreasonable, she was not annoying.

"Let's all take a break, work for a while, and then get back to work in the evening. ”

A voice sounded in the pit, and suddenly the big girls and little daughters-in-law ran up from the bottom of the pit in a swarm, surrounding Zhuang Rui and Ermao, and there was a little daughter-in-law who was familiar with Ermao, and pinched his face, joking.

Zhuang Rui was also frightened by this battle, and hurriedly used the watermelon knife in his hand to divide the watermelon into more than a dozen parts, and handed them out piece by piece.

A few people took the watermelon and said thank you to Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui simply chatted with them before he realized that these people were all staff of the local cultural relics department.

"Thank you, young man. ”

Handing out the last piece of watermelon, Zhuang Rui found that there was an old man standing in front of him, he should not be young, his beard was all white, but he was in good spirits, standing under the sun, his face didn't sweat much.

Zhuang Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm also generous to others, hehe, this is the watermelon grown by my classmate's family, don't worry about the old man, if it's not enough, I'll send two more over again." ”

"That's not suitable, let's buy it anyway. ”

The old man looked at the big pit below, thought for a while and said, "I guess I will stay here for half a month, let my classmates send two watermelons every day, a watermelon costs twenty yuan, do you think it's okay?"

"No, it doesn't need to be so expensive, five or six yuan is enough. ”

didn't wait for Zhuang Rui to speak, Ermao picked up, which made Zhuang Rui a little impressed by this half-grown child, who was acting like a little money fan just now, and now he will ask for less money.

"Then ten yuan a piece, Ermao, you send two watermelons here every day, and I'll just say it to your long-haired brother when I go back." ”

"Hmm!"

Ermao nodded heavily, the grievances just now have long disappeared, this watermelon is worthless in the countryside, whoever passes by the melon field on weekdays, it doesn't matter if you pick two to eat, just don't destroy the melon seedlings.

"Grandpa, eat watermelon. ”

Zhuang Rui was talking to the old man, and the girl's watermelon had already been eaten, and she licked her lips with some unfinished thoughts.

"Well, you can eat, little gluttonous cat. The old man smiled tolerantly and handed the watermelon in his hand to the girl.

"Teacher, you eat it yourself, I haven't eaten it yet. The student named Yingning hurriedly pulled the old man's granddaughter away and gave the watermelon to the girl.

"Young man, my granddaughter's parents are both abroad, and I don't usually have time to discipline her, so I can make you laugh. The old man actually heard the conversation of several people just now, and knew that it was his granddaughter who was unreasonable.

"The old man said seriously, it's nothing, I'm just more interested in archaeology, I heard that there is an archaeological team here at the excavation site, I want to come and see it, but just now I said the wrong thing. ”

Zhuang Rui was still a little curious about the identity of the old man in front of him, seeing the attitude of the staff of the local cultural relics department towards the old man, Zhuang Rui knew that the archaeological excavation work here should be presided over by this old man, but such a serious matter, with a granddaughter and a student, is a bit too child's play.

"Hehe, young man, you can name the word official thief, you must be very concerned about archaeology or cultural relics, right?"

The old man has no taboo about the word "official thief", his idea is quite different from everyone else, digging the tomb is robbing the tomb, even if it is dug in the name of the country, it is not possible to get rid of this thief word, but the cultural relics in the tombs dug up by the state are mostly used for exhibitions or to study the social form at that time, not like private thieves, completely for personal gain.

"Old man, I just like to collect as an amateur, I don't know much about archaeology, and I'm thinking about studying as a graduate student majoring in archaeology to recharge myself. ”

Although Zhuang Rui has made up some knowledge about archaeology during this time, he naturally doesn't dare to show off in front of the old man in front of him.

"Oh, there are not many people who apply for the archaeology major now, this work is relatively boring, and they often wander around the fields in the field, and sometimes they can't go home all year round, young man, why do you have this idea?"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the old man paused for a moment, obviously a little surprised by Zhuang Rui's answer.

"Hehe, old man, I just said, I just want to systematically learn the customs and culture of Chinese dynasties from the archaeology major, which is also very beneficial for collection, not that I will engage in archaeology-related work in the future. ”

Zhuang Rui didn't hide his thoughts, with his net worth, there is no need to engage in this work, staying in the wild every day, it is estimated that the white lion will like it, but Zhuang Rui definitely can't stand it.

"Which university did you study archaeology?" the old man asked casually.

"Beijing University, I heard that the faculty there is the most abundant......"

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Beijing University is not easy to take the exam, although the archaeology major is very unpopular, but the head of the department, Old Man Meng, is an old stubborn." ”

"Hehe, my grades in chemistry in college are not bad, and I have a little knowledge of Chinese history and ancient Chinese, I believe it should not be a big problem, and the old man also knows Professor Meng of Beijing University?"

Zhuang Rui said very confidently that when he graduated from college, Zhuang's mother originally asked him to continue to study in graduate school, but Zhuang Rui took into account the situation at home and still came out to work.

"Of course I know, I've known him all my life, that old man, tsk, it's very difficult to entangle, so let's do it, young man, I'll test you a few questions, if you can answer it, I'll go and intercede with the old man Meng......"

Zhuang Rui didn't notice that when the old man was talking, his eyes that saw through the world inadvertently revealed a trace of childlike innocence.

"Old man, there's no need to intercede, but I really don't have much experience in the interview for the graduate school entrance examination, so if you have any questions, just ask, I should have experienced it in advance. ”

Zhuang Rui said with a smile, Uncle De has already greeted that Professor Meng, he and the old man in front of him have never known each other, how can they be embarrassed to trouble the other party, besides, listening to this old man's meaning, that Professor Meng is a bit weird, if there are many people to intercede, maybe it will backfire.

"Okay, then let me ask you, do you know whose tomb we are excavating now?"

The old man's question made Zhuang Rui frown, this big tomb in Shaanxi is really too much, not to mention anything else, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Shaanxi has existed as the capital of the country, this celebrity and the emperor will be countless, the old man's question is really difficult to answer.

Zhuang Rui's eyes looked at the bottom of the pit, and the aura overflowed, but no clues were found in the soil, only some broken ceramic vessels, the aura in them was very weak, and Zhuang Rui couldn't tell what age it was.

When he retracted his aura, Zhuang Rui saw the armed police on duty, and his heart moved, led by the national cultural relics department, with full assistance from the local government, and armed police to protect the scene, presumably this mausoleum is not simple, it should be an imperial tomb.

It's just that this emperor's tomb is a little bigger, from the Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there are dozens of emperors, who knows which one?

"Guanzhong Eighteen Tombs!"

Zhuang Rui suddenly came up with this term in his mind, he remembered a document he had read not long ago, which was about the mausoleums of the eighteen emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that the tombs of several emperors such as Tang Ruizong's Bridge Mausoleum, Tang Xuanzong's Tailing, Tang Xianzong's Jingling, and Tang Wenzong's Guangling were in this small county.

In that document, it is said that these mausoleums are built by the mountain, and their current location is also relatively similar, but the literature says that the bridge mausoleum is majestic, the stone carvings are exquisite and abnormal, and it is the most of the eighteen tombs in Guanzhong, it should not be it, as for the mausoleum of the remaining emperor, Zhuang Rui can no longer guess......
