A few days later, when Jin Muchen drove a pickup truck and pulled back a tall and exquisite rosewood Wanli cabinet, Uncle Fang was also full of praise when he saw this Wanli cabinet.

He has been in the antique business for decades, and he has seen a lot of all kinds of Chinese furniture, and even used by the royal family, he has also handled a lot.

However, it was the first time he had seen such a large and exquisite carved red sandalwood Wanli cabinet, not to mention that this was still a red sandalwood Wanli cabinet with inscriptions.

Back then, this was a treasure that was lost from the Old Summer Palace, and now it is actually back in the hands of us Chinese, and Fang Bo is also pleasantly surprised.

So much so that that night, he personally cooked and fried a few side dishes, and drank half a catty of wine on the Moutai brought by Jin Muchen from China, and then drunk on the table with joy.

After settling down Uncle Fang at night, he returned to the room and was intimate with Candace for a while, until he watched Candace fall asleep, Jin Muchen quietly came to the VIP room on the second floor alone.

There are no other treasures in this room now, only this huge Wanli cabinet in the corner.

However, this time Jin Muchen did not come for this Wanli cabinet, he came for the things behind the partition in this Wanli cabinet last time.

When he bought this Wanli cabinet before, he noticed that on the upper floor of this Wanli cabinet, there was a dark compartment behind the middle partition, and there seemed to be some treasure inside.

But because of Diana's presence at that time, he didn't dare to open the partition on the spot to take a good look, and later after the Wanli cabinet was in hand. There was a holiday with Diana in Scotland. I didn't have time to take a closer look at what was behind the partition.

There was curiosity in his heart. But it wasn't until I returned to the United States and took the Wanli cabinet to my home that I had time to discover the truth behind the partition of the cabinet.

He opened the cabinet door, and his eyes were immediately dazzled by the strong yellow light that shone from under the partition in the middle of the cabinet.

He reached out and tapped on the partition to find the location of the dark grid, and then began to push the partition, and sure enough, he pushed it gently. The partition was pushed open, revealing the dark compartment inside.

In the dark compartment, there happened to be a European-style jewelry box lying inside.

This jewelry box doesn't look ordinary, made of mahogany, with gold edges on the outside, and riveted style, which looks very simple, but the texture is more general.

It's supposed to be an old object, but it's not very valuable.

He took the box out of the compartment and opened it. What was exposed inside immediately shook him dizzy.

I saw the inside of this jewelry box. There are two golden easter eggs lying down, the configuration is very complete, and even the gold bracket below is very complete.

Just looking at the shape of these two easter eggs, coupled with the jewels flashing on these eggs, Jin Muchen has already made up his mind that these two must be the famous Fabergé easter eggs from Russia!

Easter eggs are religious celebration utensils in European Christian countries, whether it is Catholicism or Protestantism, as long as you celebrate Easter, then you can't do without this easter egg.

The earliest easter eggs were just women who painted beautiful pictures on eggs to make their children happy.

In the 19th century, Easter eggs began to prevail in Russia, mainly because of the royal favor.

On Easter Day 1885, Tsar Alexander III, in order to comfort his bride Maria, who had just married from Denmark, asked Fabergé to make the world's first Fabergé egg.

Unexpectedly, on Easter Day, Fabergé sent a seemingly very ordinary Easter egg, but this seemingly ordinary Easter egg, but it implied a mystery, the white enamel outer eggshell actually had an egg made of gold, inside the egg was a small golden hen, and the golden hen had a miniature crown inlaid with diamonds and a miniature egg made of rubies in her belly.

Empress Maria was so fond of the egg that Alexander III ordered Fabergé to make an Easter egg every year.

Later, in 1894, when Alexander III died suddenly and Nicholas II ascended the throne, his first order was for Fabergé to continue to make eggs for his mother, as well as for himself and his queen every year.

This tradition continued until the fall of the Romanov dynasty, when a total of fifty-two to fifty-six Easter eggs were produced.

Later, because Russia fell into civil strife, these easter eggs were lost eleven, some of which were confiscated by the Russian government, and later in the development period, these easter eggs were sold in Europe to exchange for foreign exchange, and most of the surviving easter eggs were collected by the tycoons of Britain and the United States.

Now the Russian government has only ten Easter eggs in its hands, and most of the other Easter eggs are scattered in the hands of wealthy people around the world.

Moreover, the price of these easter eggs now is not like the price of four or five hundred dollars a cabbage sold by the Russian government, and now such an easter egg is worth at least $30 million on average.

It also depends on the material used in the easter egg, as well as its own historical significance, if the material is good and has important historical significance, then the price will definitely be higher.

However, in recent decades, in the international market, this Fabergé egg has almost disappeared, because this kind of Easter egg, exquisite shape, exquisite workmanship, plus almost every one, has its own unique historical significance, so the price of this Fabergé egg, in the international auction market, can be said to be rising.

Generally, as long as it is not particularly financially difficult, few people will come up with such treasures for auction.

Jin Muchen didn't expect that today he actually found this famous Fabergé Easter egg in this cabinet, and this discovery was two.

This is special, God really makes you rich, you can't hide if you want to!

The two easter eggs in his hand, one is completely made of jasper, the egg body of the easter egg is polished with high-quality jasper, and the top is inlaid with gold and broken diamonds, and there are some small black and white photos in the several areas that are separated.

The photos are all images of a little girl, this little girl, with delicate curly hair, looks very cute, although she doesn't know her identity yet, but Jin Muchen can be sure that she should have an inexplicable relationship with the Russian royal family.

Open the easter egg, inside is a small palace model, if you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can also see that the palace model on the top of the words Alexander Palace in Russian.

Looking at the other one, this is a white enamel egg with a very beautiful painting on the outside, and the perimeter is decorated with small pearls and broken diamonds.

Open the easter egg, you can still see a model of the palace inside, but the shape of this palace is much grander than the previous Alexander Palace, and the cost must be a lot more expensive, because this model is completely made of gold.

A magnifying glass can also be seen with a carved inscription on the door of the palace, which is in Danish and bears the words Göstner Palace.

Seeing this, Jin Muchen basically knew in his heart, these two should be two of the eleven easter eggs lost in the legend, one is the easter egg of Alexander Palace, and the other is the easter egg of Gostner Palace.

Although eleven of the easter eggs made by Fabergé are missing, almost every one of those easter eggs he made is recorded in inscriptions, so it is easy to find a historical record that matches them.

These two easter eggs were placed in this cabinet, but Diana didn't know at all, and it must have something to do with her great-grandmother.

You must know that Diana's great-grandmother is not an ordinary person, she was the princess of Greece at that time, her grandfather was the Prince of Denmark, who ascended the throne of Greece in 1864 and became King George I of Greece.

And her father was a Greek prince at that time, and her mother was a Russian princess, Helen. Valdimirovina, the youngest favorite daughter of Nicholas III, was also the last Russian princess to hold the title of Royal Highness and His Royal Highness.

It should also be the little girl herself in the photo above the jasper egg, Jin Muchen guessed after checking the origin of Princess Marina, that is, Diana's great-grandmother, the Duchess of Kent.

It is said that Nicholas III was very fond of his youngest daughter, and when he married her to a Greek prince, he gave her a lot of dowries.

Presumably, the easter egg of the Alexandria Palace made of jasper should have been given to her by the Tsar at that time.

As for the Easter egg in the Gostner Palace, it may have been given to her by the Tsar's mother, because the old lady was a Danish princess, and the Easter egg in the Gostner Palace was specially made by Tsar Alexander to have Fabergé make an easter egg to celebrate the birthday of Princess Maria from Denmark and relieve her homesickness.

And after the Russian princess and the Greek prince got married, it seems that life is not going well, because their family's rule in Greece is unpopular, so in 1917 there was a revolution in Greece, and since then, their family has been exiled to Paris and other places.

Later, in London, Marina, a down-and-out Greek princess, married the youngest son of George V at the time and became the Duchess of Kent.

And these two easter eggs, presumably at that time, became her dowry, and she locked them in the secret compartment of her favorite cabinet, and became her nostalgia for her homeland and family.

As for why these two easter eggs were not passed on to her family, it must also be related to the environment at the time.

After all, the children of this generation of Duke Kent's family are not very competitive, and even a few of them are still losers, and not long after his father kicked his legs, he clamored to divide the family property, and the Duchess must have been angry at that time. (To be continued......)
