The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

No need to talk nonsense, as long as Zhang Nan says "who has a pile of tears on his head", Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong will not be interested in this beautiful crown anymore. This evil thing is still far away. Point is wonderful.

The cost of making this crown is not small. As for the original owner of this crown, you probably need to find someone who has in-depth research on the history of European royal crowns to know, and may never find out.

There are many women's crowns of this kind in old Europe, and the regulations are not as strict as the crowns of emperors. In addition, there are many royal families in Europe, and God knows how many crowns there are in Europe.

Not to mention the large number of queens and queens, just say a princess: no matter how poor or small the country is, a princess will usually have two crowns in her life.

Parents give one when they are grown up, and one when they get married-and the husband’s family also has to give one as usual.

Besides, this kind of crown does not have to be worn by royals. Even when the feudal social system in Europe is strict, many aristocratic women can customize their crowns, but they can change their names to the crowns, not to mention many nobles and ancestors. Crown down.

In the 19th century, the social environment was more relaxed, and wealthy people could make beautiful tiaras for their families as gifts.

Because this crown is a rare "pearl tear" style, it is still possible to figure out the source: if you don't know the inheritance of an ordinary lady's crown, it is estimated that you will never know who the original owner is.

Put the "Pearl Tears" crown back into the wooden box, and then I looked at the other two boxes in the box. They were all crowns, but they were much earlier, at least until the medieval period eight to nine hundred years ago. It was still "Charlie". The crown of "king style".

According to the vision of this meeting, the workmanship of this crown is obviously not good, the cutting and polishing of the gems such as emeralds and red spinels inlaid is a mess, and the pearls on it are even more dim in color.

It's an ugly crown, but Zhang Nan likes it very much: the craftsmanship is not good, it is because of the age and low productivity.

In the Middle Ages, Europe did not have a powerful regime to rule. For a long period of time, European feudal separatism brought frequent wars, and the imprisonment of the ideological bishops also caused the stagnation of the development of technology and productivity. In those 1,000 years, the ordinary people of Europa were just like Live in hopeless pain.

Therefore, the Middle Ages is generally called the "Dark Age" in Europe and the United States, which is traditionally considered to be a relatively slow period in the history of European civilization.

At that time, even the craftsmanship was not as good as the ancient Roman period, let alone architecture and art. It felt like a step backwards.

Isn't Zhang Nan not ignorant of European antiques, how can he know that this crown is a product of the Middle Ages?

The "Charles the Great style", craftsmanship, and pearls that are about to be scrapped-pearls are organic, and they turn yellow in hundreds of years. If they take longer, they will fall off layer by layer. These seven or eight hundred years are probably the limit.

Some people say that pearls have become powder for more than 100 years. It is wrong. At least Zhang Nan once collected old pearl jewelry from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the pearls on the few phoenix crowns dug out by the barbarians in Dingling are still preserved. good.

With the lights on in the mine, Zhang Nan tried the crown on his head, which was a bit tight.

"This man has a really big head."

After speaking, put the crown back into the box and leave it alone. Alyosha and Linman hung a camouflage net at the entrance of the mine, and sent double posts to the commanding heights outside.

You don't need to be as nervous as a battle sniper, just pretend to be a tourist. Today the rain will stop, but tomorrow it will be cloudy and lighter.

Everything can be removed by tomorrow night at the latest. This time it is estimated to weigh about ten tons, while last time it was more than one hundred tons.

I slept, and when I woke up naturally, I was working, and it was only 11 o'clock at noon.

The bodyguards are already packing up the amber siding. As the boss, Zhang Nan just opens the box and checks to see if there are any surprises.

Then, I found something I like in a small tin box: it's not antiques. The antiques here are all Western goods. Zhang Nan subconsciously classified them into the category of rare works of art and understood them from the East and the West. It's just different.

The small metal box is about forty centimeters square, with cloth bags stuffed in it, and there are five large and small in total.

Tie the rope and open one of the smallest ones. As a result, everyone in the mine heard Zhang Nan's "Oh"!

A bag of rubies, big and small!

The red is dazzling, and there are all kinds of cut shapes, the largest one has hundreds of carats, and the small one may only be twenty to thirty points.

Too many, too many to be unbelievable!

At least two kilograms of cut rubies were stuffed in a pocket like this, without considering whether they would rub against each other and cause scratches.

"How come there are so many!"

The bag of diamonds, Xiang Weirong, who can interrogate, has already seen it, but such a ruby ​​has never been seen before, which is too exaggerated.

"Maybe it is all the inventory in a certain vault." Zhang Nan glanced at the amber siding that was being packed. "It may be all the inventory of the East Prussia gem storage department, who knows."

Small rubies account for the vast majority, while large ones are relatively rare, but the value here is already immeasurable.

The origin of this is even more unclear, concentration camp? Robbed countless jewelry companies?

Who knows.

He dug out his pockets, took out the largest thirty-odd pieces, opened them into small sealed bags, and stuffed them into his own clothes bag. The pockets were tightened again and put aside.

"I don't know if they are all rubies or if there are red spinels in them. I hope these pockets still have them."

Zhang Nan can't distinguish the difference between ruby ​​and gem-grade red spinel. These two kinds of gems can't even be distinguished by many people who specialize in gems.

Zhang Nan likes rubies, even more than diamonds, like this dazzling red.

Xiang Weirong listened and shook his head inwardly: My brother-in-law is a gluttonous person, and he is never satisfied with that kind.

Hope is great, but disappointment is not small: there are four pockets left, the largest one is a collection of gems of various colors, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple... everything; a bag of green ~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Nan thinks it should be emeralds; the other two bags are both blue, probably sapphires.

However, one bag of sapphires cannot be completely determined, because the blue of this bag of gems is much lighter than the other bag. It is likely to be aquamarine, which means blue emeralds.

Xiang Weirong held a drop shape in his hand, probably a yellow gem of hundreds of carats. After lighting it with a flashlight for a while, he asked, "What kind of gem is this? It's a bit like the two yellow diamonds of Nicole and others. ."

Zhang Nan took out a handful of gems in this pocket directly from his pocket, and grabbed his hair with the other hand. "It is unlikely to be yellow diamonds. There are too many colors here. This may be topaz. We call it Topa. Stones, but also a mess of semi-precious stones are all mixed up."

If there is such a rich color gem, if it is a single species, it is only topaz.

And the good news is: if these are topaz, it is definitely not a product that has changed color after radiation processing. Just like those rubies, they are not "burned" things.

If it's not a topaz, it would be more interesting. After going back, let Brown and the others identify it.

Pack all the gems, and an iron suitcase weighs several tens of kilograms.

"When I go back, these gems are best kept for myself, and I can make some jewelry for my sisters, and they can be used in jewelry companies after polishing."

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan took out a small sealed bag with rubies in his pocket, and said to himself: "If Nicole is a girl, I will make her the most gorgeous set of jewelry, which is even more beautiful than diamonds. !"

...

Three days later, the entrance of the cave was closed, and Zhang Nan and a group of people left the mine by helicopter and returned to the villa.

All items have been loaded on the truck and will be shipped to Hamburg soon.
