After Jiao Ba finished speaking, Jenny said a little disappointedly, "Ah? So, this is a shipwreck from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty?"
Shunzi thief said with a smile, "Things from the Qianlong period are fine, they are still valuable, brother Yi, now we can make a fortune."
"If it's really from the Qianlong period, then I'll share these things with you. I don't want any of them." Jenny's face was a little uncomfortable. This time I was even more sure that she was only interested in things from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. If
It's for money, and the cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty are equally valuable, but she is actually 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 it is from the Qing Dynasty? There were also cultural relics imitated from the earlier period in the late Ming Dynasty, especially during the Xuande period. Most of the sweet whites were copied from the Yongle period by Xuande." I think.
Looking at Jiao Ba, he asked the questions in my heart.
Because when I was a child, I also saw a lot of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. It was still at my grandfather's house. I don't know where these things went afterwards. Some were sold, and some may have been stolen.
I don't know much about porcelain, but I know a thing or two about it.
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be more understanding, Brother Yi. Let me tell you this, look at the sweet white color, it's just a little yellow. If it's really something that's hundreds of years old, you can't tell.
What does it look like? If it was imitated during the Xuande period, the color difference would not be so big. And the most important thing is that the Tianbai imitated during the Xuande period would not have the year number written on it. Only the imitations made during the Qing Dynasty would have the era name written on it.
Especially during the Qianlong period, there were the most imitations of cultural relics from the previous dynasty, so I concluded that these were imitations during the Qianlong period."
After listening to Jiao Ba's words, Jenny sighed and said, "Hey, from what you said, it seems that this is really a ship from the Qing Dynasty. All the fuss and troubles have been in vain."
I deliberately answered, "How can you say that you have worked in vain? Although it is not from the Ming Dynasty, isn't it from the Qianlong period very good? If this is sold on the market, it can still be sold at a good price." I said so.
, just to see Jenny’s reaction.
"I'm not interested in this. My purpose of going to sea this time is to find the sunken ships of the Ming Dynasty. These things are of no use to me." Sure enough, Jenny's reaction was what I expected. So what exactly was she looking for?
What? Are things from the Ming Dynasty that valuable? Or is she also looking for that jade pendant?
I deliberately smiled shamelessly and said, "Hey, if you don't want me to take it, just return it to its original owner, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking from now on." I was right, these are my Qing Dynasty things, put them in my
In the hand, it is something other than returning it 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, the rest of us were stunned again. Jenny said angrily, "Hey, can you finish it in one breath? Where is the grinding? It takes so much effort."
Mai Lao also complained, "Yes, Xiaoba, tell everyone what you know. Stop nagging. If you continue like this, we will throw you into the sea." Although it is a joke, who knows?
Everyone knows that Mr. Mai is also very anxious. This old guy has been busy for so long and thought he could show off his talents, but in the end he became a person who knew only a little.
Jiao Ba asked me for a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I checked all these porcelains and only one or two were authentic Ming Dynasty items. At first, Mr. Mai brought them
The blue and white porcelain is from the Yongle period, and most of the remaining items are imitations of the Qing Dynasty, and most of them are Qing Dynasty porcelain."
"Take this wine flask for example. Although it says the first year of Qianlong on the bottom, this thing was imitated during the Guangxu period. This is easy for me to tell. Let me put it this way, the whole thing in the sunken ship
, although they are all ancient cultural relics, most of them are imitations, especially those from official kilns. Almost all of them are. Only a few folk items were made during the Guangxu period. From this, it can be inferred that this is a ship from the Guangxu period.
The shipwreck." Jiao Ba said seriously, holding the wine bottle that Mr. Mai had just taken.
He continued, "Moreover, I just thought that if it were really a Ming Dynasty shipwreck, and after hundreds of years of seawater corrosion, no matter how good the wood of the Ming Dynasty ships was, they would not be as complete as the ones we use.
The salvage method of the pontoon can easily fall into pieces. If it were replaced by the Guangxu period, it would still be possible. After all, the time away from us is limited, so this is a ship from the Guangxu period, just loaded.
I just bought some imitations of the Ming Dynasty. They were sunk when they encountered wind and waves on the way. When they met us today, they resurfaced." Jiao Ba explained with a smile, tomb robbers are different, analysis
The ability is almost catching up with that of the Scout.
I curled my lips and said casually, "Well, what you said makes sense, old man. You are really good. But the Qing Dynasty has always been closed to the outside world, and there is almost no foreign trade. I think this ship is 80%...
In my own name, I wanted to smuggle these imitations out of the country and sell them to foreigners as genuine products. Anyway, the foreigners couldn't tell the real ones from the fake ones, but something happened and the ship sank."
"I don't think so. This ship, like us, is here to salvage sunken ships, and most likely, it is here to salvage sunken ships from the Ming Dynasty." Mr. Mai said seriously.
"Mr. Mai, are you sure?" Jenny suddenly asked.
"I'm not sure, but I feel it's possible. You've all seen it. There's a big one on the sunken ship, but it's not fishing. So what is it used for? Technology wasn't that developed back then, and people couldn't
After diving for too long, I could only hold my breath and go into the sea. I think it is so big that it should be used for fishing. In addition, there are some Ming Dynasty porcelain on the boat, which makes it even more suspicious." Mai Lao pushed his eyes.
He expressed his thoughts very rationally. This old guy finally qualified as an expert, but he never mentioned the matter of the female corpse in the coffin.
"I also think what Mr. Mai said is right. In the Qing Dynasty, although the culture was backward, it was not impossible. Maybe salvaging sunken ships has long been spread among the people. Since we can think of treasures in sunken ships, others can do the same.
What do you two think?" I threw the last words to Jiao Ba and Shunzi again. This time I very much agreed with Mai Lao's statement. The emperor's ignorance does not necessarily mean that the people are also ignorant.
Shunzi curled his lips and said, "Brother Yi, I'm on your side and I agree." This guy always follows my lead, so asking questions is in vain.
Jiao Ba frowned, thought deeply for a moment and then 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."
