Chapter 31, Qing Dynasty shipwreck
After Jiao Ba's words were finished, Jenny said with a little disappointment, "Huh? So, this is a shipwreck during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty? ”
The Shunzi thief smiled and said, "The things of the Qianlong period are okay, they can still be valuable, Brother Yi, now we can send it." ”
"If it's really the Qianlong period, then all these things will be distributed to you, and I don't want any of them." Jenny's face is a little not good, this time I am more sure, she only dares to be interested in things in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, if it is for money, my cultural relics in the Qing Dynasty are also worth as much, but she is indifferent, which makes me a little confused, is there really some ulterior secret hidden behind this?
Mai Lao picked up another wine bottle, looked at it carefully, and said, "Although I don't know much about this thing, from the appearance of this porcelain, it seems that it is really from the Qianlong period." ”
"Even if this is not from the Yongle period, how do you know that it is from the Qing Dynasty? In the late Ming Dynasty, there were also cultural relics that were imitated from the early period, and even more so during the Xuande period, most of the sweet white were imitated by Xuande during the Yongle period. I looked at Jiao Ba and asked the question in my heart.
Because when I was a child, I also saw a lot of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, it was still when I was at my grandfather's house, and then I don't know where these things went, some were sold, and some may have been stolen.
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to understand a little bit Brother Yi, let me tell you this, you see this sweet white color, just a little yellow, if it is really a few hundred years old, maybe what it looks like, if it is an imitation of something in the Xuande period, the color difference will not be so big, and the most important thing, the sweet white imitated in the Xuande period will not write the year name, only the imitation of the Qing Dynasty will be written, especially in the Qianlong period, the imitation of the previous dynasty cultural relics is the most, That's why I deduced that it was imitated during the Qianlong period. ”
After listening to Jiao Ba's words, Jenny sighed and said, "Hey, listening to you say this, it seems that this is really a Qing Dynasty ship, and it has been busy for a long time." ”
I deliberately answered and said, "How can you say that you are busy in vain, although it is not a thing of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qianlong period is not also very good?" If this is sold on the market, it can still be sold at a good price. "I say this to see how Jenny reacts.
"I'm not interested in this, this time I went to sea, my purpose was to find the shipwrecks of the Ming Dynasty, these things are useless to me." Sure enough, Jenny's reaction was the same as I expected, so what was she looking for? Are things in the Ming Dynasty that valuable? Or is she looking for that jade pendant too?
I deliberately smiled shamelessly and said, "Hehe, if you don't want me, I will return it to its original owner, and I won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future." "I'm not wrong, these are all things from my Qing Dynasty, put them in my hands, that's not what it is to return to its original owner.
As a result, Jiao Ba said again, "This ship is not from the Qianlong period, to be precise, it should be a ship that went to sea during the Guangxu period." ”
After he finished speaking, a few of us were stunned again, and Jenny said a little angrily, "Hey, can you finish it in one breath, where is it?" It's so strenuous. ”
Mai Lao also complained, "Yes, Xiaoba, tell everyone everything you know, don't bother, if you continue like this, we will throw you into the sea." "Although it's a joke, everyone knows that Mai Lao is also very anxious, this old guy has been busy for so long, he thought he could show his skills, but in the end he became a half-informed person.
Jiao Ba asked me for a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs and said, "I'll be honest with you, I checked all these porcelain, only one or two are serious Ming Dynasty things, at first Mai Lao brought up the blue and white porcelain, that is really from the Yongle period, most of the remaining things are imitations of the Qing Dynasty, and the vast majority of them are Qing Dynasty porcelain." ”
"Let's take this wine jug, although this is written below the first year of Qianlong, but this thing is imitated during the Guangxu period, which is easy for me to distinguish, let me say so, the whole shipwreck, although they are ancient cultural relics, but most of them are imitations, especially the official kiln things, almost all, only a few folk things, are made in the Guangxu period, from which it can be inferred that this is a shipwreck in the Guangxu period." Jiao Ba took the wine jug that Mai Lao had just taken and said seriously.
He then said, "Again, I just thought about it, if it is really a shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, and after hundreds of years of seawater corrosion, even if the Ming Dynasty's ships are wooden, they can't be preserved so completely, like the pontoon we use This salvage method is easy to shine into a scattered shelf, if it is changed to the Guangxu period, it is still possible, after all, the time from us is limited, so this is a ship in the Guangxu period, just loaded with some imitations of the Ming Dynasty, encountered the wind Lang halfway, and was sunk, When it meets us today, it resurfaces. Jiao Ba explained with a grin that tomb robbers were different, and their analytical skills were about to catch up with scouts.
I pursed my lips and said casually, "Well, what you said makes a little sense, you kid is really good, but the Qing Dynasty has been closed to the country, and there is almost no foreign trade. ”
"I don't think so, this ship, like us, is here to salvage the shipwreck, and most likely, it is to salvage the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty." Mai Lao said a sentence very seriously.
"Are you sure?" Jenny asked suddenly.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's possible, and you've all seen it, there's a big net on this wreck, but it's not a fishing net, so what is this net for? At that time, science and technology were not so developed, people could not dive for too long, and could only rely on holding their breath to go to the sea, I think this big net should be used to catch things, plus there are individual Ming Dynasty porcelain on the ship, which is even more doubtful. Mai Lao pushed his eyes and said his thoughts very rationally, this old guy is finally a little in line with the identity of an expert, but he never mentioned the matter of the coffin female corpse.
"I also think Mai Lao's words are very right, in the Qing Dynasty, although the culture is backward, but it is not impossible to do this, maybe the salvage shipwreck has long been circulated among the people, since we can think of the treasure in the shipwreck, people are the same, what do you two think?" I threw the last words to Jiao Ba and Shunzi again, this time I agree with Mai Lao's statement, when the emperor is ignorant, not necessarily the people are also ignorant.
Junko pouted and said, "Brother Yi, I'm on your side, agree." "This kid always follows my steps, and when he asks, it's actually in vain.
Jiao Ba frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Well, it makes sense, and the female corpse in the coffin is the best evidence, because the female corpse is from the Ming Dynasty." ”
