Chapter 12: Huang Shaofen's Diary
After the shipwreck of Huang Jiayang, the imperial court repeatedly ordered the Huang family to salvage the sunken ship. Helplessly, the Yuan and Meng's chasing troops are coming, and the Huang family has no time to take care of the Yuan when they raise troops to fight against the Yuan."
"After the Battle of Yashan, all the people who knew about it in the Southern Song Dynasty were martyred with the Song Emperor's jump from Yashan, so far no one knows where the royal treasures of the Southern Song Dynasty are in Nanyang. Perhaps the only clue in the end is the sunken ship of the Yanghe Huang family. ”
Of course, Guan Hao knew that the salvage of the Huang family shipwreck was one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China at that time, and tens of thousands of exquisite export porcelain and other precious cultural relics were unearthed.
It has caused a sensation in the world of cultural relics and archaeology.
Guan Hao had participated in salvage as an archaeological researcher in his previous life.
After reading part of Huang Shaofen's diary, Guan Hao was shocked, it turned out that the Huang family shipwreck contained the secret of the royal relics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Huang family shipwreck was the property of the Huang family in Xiguan, Suicheng.
According to the diary, Huang Shaofen combined the family letters and the remaining information and documents, deduced the general items on the Huang family, the Huang family more than ten generations of tireless, dreamed of trying to figure out the secret, in fact, the wreck site has a chart, very clear, the time is limited to the previous salvage technology, has not been successful salvage.
In 1937, the Huang family successfully salvaged some of the items with the help of Britannic Jardine & Co.
This is also the reason why there is a Song Dynasty Hailao porcelain in the study on the second floor of Xiaolu.
Huang Shaofen also wrote in his diary in detail the location of the wreck, the hydrological situation, the details of the salvage in 1937, the structure of the wreck and the details of the cargo, and even copied a list of goods at that time in the diary.
These materials can be said to play a key role in the archaeological salvage of the Huang family.
Looking at these materials compiled by Huang Shaofen, combined with his own personal experience in later generations, Guan Hao sorted out his thoughts a little and pondered for a long time.
Guan Hao pulled Cao Wan to sit beside him, and said to Cao Wan with a gentle but very serious gaze: "Wan'er, there is something I want to discuss with you very formally, after all, we are exploring this Huang family's underground cave together, judging from the current information, the Yanghe Huang Song Dynasty shipwreck incident was at least involved in the Republic of China period, I think it is necessary to ask for your opinion, I want to hear your thoughts." This may be related to our Guan Cao family, which is a big matter. ”
"I understand what you mean, you can do it if you want to, I fully support you to do it, even if our Cao family does not agree, I will personally go all out to support you. Your life was saved by you, and I will use my people to repay you for saving your life in this life! ”
"Wan'er, thank you for understanding me, I understand! The Huang Jiayang shipwreck has a great relationship, and I don't know if the Huang family is still fulfilling this historical responsibility and mission, since the Huang family and my Guan family are in-laws, then it is my duty to continue this responsibility. I think my family will definitely support me. Guan Hao Zhengse.
"Wan'er, I don't know why our two families have been fighting each other, this is a historical reason, but now there is a new society, advocating common ground while reserving differences and common development, all for the purpose of economic development. If I can go home, I will definitely persuade my grandfather that it is better for the two families to cooperate than to fight and kill like this, and now there are many opportunities for our two families to develop and grow. ”
"Well, I also think that there is no need to fight and kill like this, it is time to recuperate and develop and grow!"
The two communicated with each other for a long time about the current problems of their respective families, and felt that Wan'er was a little tired, so the good boy let Wan'er lean against him, and he quietly looked through Huang Shaofen's diary.
In the quiet underground secret room, there is a beautiful girl as a companion, Guan Hao Lingtai is clear, and he really does ten lines at a glance, and the content in the diary is quickly remembered by him.
Later, Haozai discovered that in addition to the records of shipwrecks in the South China Sea, there were also secrets of the Huang family for hundreds of years, including the origin of the secret base on Bailu Island and why it was donated to a leprosy hospital later.
Maybe Huang Shaofen knows that her time is short, and the things she recorded later are also a little messy, and it takes energy to understand.
The diary also mentions the secret story of Zhu Pinghui, the last son of the Shu Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, who lived in seclusion overseas after the failure of raising troops to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
may be because Huang Shaofen reached the end of his life, his energy was not enough, and he did not record much of the last Shu king's son, leaving only a hand-copied map of the ancient sea map and the three guqin keys to open the secret passage.
Guan Hao didn't have time to look at the notebook carefully, so he could only go out and think about it carefully when he had time.
Guan Hao sorted out his thoughts, classified things according to the habits of his previous life, and made a time schedule according to the order of priority, and then breathed a sigh of relief: There is a long way to go, and the first goal at present is to leave this place safely with Wan'er.
Thinking of this, Guan Hao felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so Haozai carefully closed Huang Shaofen's diary. He took out the tarp from his backpack, carefully wrapped the notebook, and put it inside the bag.
Seeing that Wan'er woke up, Guan Hao gently patted Wan'er's shoulder and said:
"Senior Huang's diary is very important, let me keep it for the time being, and wait for the right time to exchange it for the descendants of the Huang family!"
After putting away the diary, Guan Hao opened the bottom drawer again, and saw a jade brand wrapped in red satin.
When I got it in my hand, I instantly passed over a warm feeling.
"This is our family's thing!" Guan Hao didn't need to look closely to recognize it.
"Sure enough, it's your Guan family, this Guan Gong is engraved with the words Dongting Guan on the back, this is the emerald of the delicate, pure and flawless Laokeng glass species, and it is the best in the jadeite."
"This should be your Guan family's dowry gift to the Huang family!"
"Yes, my mother also has a piece in her hand, I have seen it since I was a child, this jade God of Wealth is a necessary dowry gift for my Guan family to my daughter-in-law. It's a family heirloom of our Guan family! ”
"By the way, my mother's surname is also Cao, do you know?"
"Of course I know, this is the first case of a Cao family woman marrying a Guan family in hundreds of years."
"At that time, my parents paid an extremely painful price in order to be together! To this day, my father's life and death are uncertain. My mother was expelled from the Cao family forever. ”
Thinking of his parents' love story, Guan Hao is really emotional!
"You're going to wear this jade badge and take a look?" Guan Hao helped Cao Wan put on the jade card, carefully looked at the girl in front of her, and her eyes were as gentle as water.
"Is it pretty?" Cao Wan asked in a low voice with a blushing face.
"It's so good-looking, this jade jade card is very suitable for you, you just keep it!"
"I can't ask for such a valuable item, not to mention that this is Huang senior's!" Cao Wan hurriedly excused herself.
"This is my Guan family's thing, Huang is no longer here, I will take it back now, you can keep it for me first!" The good boy said sincerely to Wan'er.
Seeing Guan Hao's sincerity, Wan'er did not shirk and carefully put away the jade plate.
"I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it back to you when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future!"
There are still many unfinished mysteries in this underground secret room, and there is not enough time to close it, so I have to choose the opportunity to explore it later.
There are a lot of fish in the underground river, and after a full meal, the two of them have a good night's rest, and tomorrow they are ready to go along the underground river to see if they can get out.
