Chapter 463: Pearl Tears
It was only ten o'clock in the evening, and Xiang Weirong went to the walkie-talkie at the entrance of the cave to inform Liu Wendong on the ski resort that he could go to rest, and only arranged an observation post at the commanding heights outside the cave, and asked Xia Mili to replace Li Panfeng, who had been on duty for more than two hours. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain outside had stopped, but Li Panfeng, who returned to the mine, was still wet and changed his clothes first.
In such weather, no stunned young man would come to climb the mountain, let alone come at night, which brought convenience to everyone's actions.
Use waterproof kraft paper and agricultural plastic sheeting for the siding packaging, which is still padded with the original paper scraps and fabrics, and then wrapped tightly with plastic bags, so that it can also be waterproof.
Originally, I thought that there would be a large number of paintings, but it would be the rainy season again, and it was impossible to predict the size of the items, so in addition to a small number of waterproof sealed bags, there were many agricultural plastic films.
First pack the five large siding in the first big box, plus a few boxes with gold objects, and transport them away in the first batch.
A group of people divided into teams, four people used the method of lifting stone slabs, the first two and the second back, no bamboo, and carried with a wooden stick with good toughness.
The other four reserve members followed all the way: more than 200 pounds each, although it is not super heavy, but it is large, and it is necessary to prevent falling when climbing up and down.
This is not the gold bricks and silver ingots last time, it's okay to bump and kick down, this trip is to be careful along the way, be careful!
By 12 p.m., Thomas had taken the first shipment on the plane, and Daniel, Karimi and Jobble had also taken to the lodge to help unload it.
The big guy who weighs more than 200 pounds is not easy to deal with with the pilots and chefs alone, and he has to be blind when he moves up and down.
The rest of the people here hurried up and kept packing and moving the components to the tarmac. By half past four in the morning, the plane had made three more trips, and finally carried away more than 20 boards, the largest of which were larger.
About two and a half tons of components, although the rest of the weight is large, but because of the small size of a single one, use the time during the day today to make a good bag, it is estimated that it will be able to transport all of them in one more night.
Most of this time is wasted on packing and manpower to the tarmac, and helicopter transportation consumes very little time.
All the belongings of the camp outside the camp have been moved into the mine, and the items that are not needed for this trip will be brought back to the lodge on the last helicopter trip tonight.
Breakfast was rice and braised beef brought in an insulated box, as well as blanched half-cooked broccoli, and Daniel hurried to finish the work.
After gobbling up, the rest that should be rested, staggered a large piece.
Zhang Nan was in good spirits, sitting on a box and unpacking the jewelry boxes packed by the Germans with kraft paper to play.
There were no gold bricks, no coins, and no other bizarre collectibles, and the remaining 30 or so chests contained either gold and silver utensils of all kinds, or large quantities of jewellery packed in brown paper.
There are all kinds of jewelry, looking from the medieval goods of seven or eight hundred years ago to the characteristics of the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, silver, gold, diamonds, gemstones, simple, fine, rough workmanship......
This is a hodgepodge, and I feel that the overall grade is not particularly high, as if it was copied from a family, and it is not as good as the batch I found last time.
Maybe it's a product of the concentration camp, but those gold and silver plates, cups and other items look like they have brought the holy vessels from dozens of churches to a pot!
Don't try to figure out what rules the Germans used to store these treasures in the first place, even the railroad at Berchtesgaden railway station left a column of Goering's fat man's personal treasures for the American army to divide, and the chaos when the Third Reich finally collapsed can be imagined.
Open one, see if there's anything special, tie it back with linen rope, and open another one later.
When the third box was opened, it was found that it was full of wooden boxes. Open one of them and discover a crown.
It's not a crown like the Queen of England, it's more like the kind used by ordinary ladies.
The gold and silver texture, the shape of the laurel branch, like the style of the ancient Romans, is probably an imitation of one or two hundred years ago.
Put it back in and open the second box.
It's still a crown, and it's very familiar to look at this box.
"These pearls are good. ”
Without bricks, you know that it is Guan Xingquan who is talking later.
"Do you like it?" Zhang Nan asked casually.
"What I like, it's obviously worn by women. ”
"Even if you want to give Leyun, I won't give it to you. ”
The two spoke in dialects, and as a result, Guan Xingquan, who was leaning on the side, was "annoyed" -- "What are you talking about!"
Xiang Weirong, who was dozing off on the other side, said: "If you like it, tell A Nanming, he is not stingy." ”
Zhang Nan turned his head and said, "Brother-in-law, this thing really can't be sent, the others can be chosen at will, just this crown can't work, it's unlucky." ”
Xiang Weirong heard it, "Why, do you know whose it is?"
Zhang Nan put the crown on the box and said: "Who doesn't know, in addition to this, there are only two crowns of this style in the world, called 'Pearl Tears', and there was one Princess Diana, which is unlucky." ”
A very contradictory paragraph: Princess Diana is unlucky?
Zhang Nan couldn't explain the problem.
The crown is divided into four layers, with a layer of pearls standing on top and 17 huge teardrop-shaped saltwater pearls hanging from the third layer. Saltwater pearls, apparently natural pearls.
Zhang Nan knows more about pearls, because the world's largest freshwater pearl cultivation place and trading center is in Zhuji, which is next door to his hometown and belongs to the same Huiji area.
The price of some ordinary and non-top-grade freshwater pearls is so low that it is frightening, and of course, the high-end goods are not cheap at all; and the saltwater natural pearls have never been cheap -- the Chinese people have loved pearls since ancient times, especially if they are just a "round", and it is best to "walk the beads".
But this natural saltwater pearl, which resembles a drop of water, is also extremely tall, let alone hundreds of years ago.
The "pearl tears" crown in his hand looks a few years old, most likely from the 19th century, or even earlier, when these "tear pearls" were not cheaper than diamonds of the same size.
There are two pearl tears in the world, the most famous being the one of the British royal family, custom-made by Princess Mary in 1914.
Another crown of pearl tears, custom-made by King Otto of Greece for his wife Amalia, was ordered much earlier than the English one, in 1825.
The British crown will be in the hands of Princess Diana: On July 29, 1981, Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana had a grand wedding at Buckingham Palace.
During the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II presented the "Pearl Tears" crown to Diana, Princess of Wales.
Not long after the Greek royal roof was made, the Greek king became severely mentally ill and could not take care of himself.
The poor Greek queen could not accept this cruel truth, and washed her face with tears all day long, and this crown full of the king's love also received a sad name because of the queen's melancholy: pearl tears!
The Greek crown was later acquired by Queen Theresa of Bavaria and passed down from generation to generation, eventually to Princess Marie-Gabriel.
According to legend, any woman with "pearl tears" will not have a good emotional home.
A series of facts after Diana's marriage seem to confirm the legend that her marriage to Charles was full of pain and tears from the beginning, and finally Diana died in a car accident.
And on the Greek side, like the misfortune of the first master, Queen Otto, everyone who received this crown suffered a calamity in their feelings.
There are a bunch of "tears" on the head, it's no wonder that this is not a problem!
Zhang Nan is actually very superstitious, before his rebirth, a friend got a piece of the Republic of China Xu Shichang inscribed in the name of the president of the "Festival Li Songyun" neat plaque, very well preserved, leaving the "Seal of Glory".
As a result, the friend decorated the plaque on the living room wall on the first floor of the new house, and... That friend fell ill in his forties and died, and a group of friends were embarrassed...
You can't move anything that is unlucky into your home!
