Chapter 524 [Catherine II's Vanity Box]
This golden battleship was too precious, Yang Nianzhong carefully put it aside, and sent someone to take care of it, and he must not break the bottle-like vessel carved from pure crystal.
Then everyone must ask, the bottle carved by pure crystal is so big, but the entrance is very small, how does such a large three-dimensional golden battleship fit in.
In fact, it is very simple, this golden battleship is a building block made up of each part, and each part can be fed through the entrance of the bottle. Then let's use a long pair of tweezers to slowly assemble the parts of these golden battleships, of course, this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also reflects the ingenuity and value of this golden battleship.
Baby, this is really a priceless treasure, not to mention that Yang Nianzhong was excited, even if the group of mercenaries around him couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, the powerful Russian Empire did have his ability back then, but didn't the powerful empire collapse 100 years ago.
The next thing that appeared inside the box was a rectangular gold box, which was a rectangular one that looked like a jewelry box, after dragging him out of the wet wool felt. Wipe the water stains off and open it to a mirror carved from pure crystal, not made of glass, but made of crystal.
Yang Nianzhong judged that this golden box with a mirror is a makeup box, but its owner is absolutely beyond people's imagination, who is its owner? Catherine II. The fat old lady, whom all Russian subjects called Her Majesty, and one of the wisest female monarchs in the world, called the Great.
What's so precious about this fat old lady's vanity case? Although this makeup case is cast in gold, it is covered with all kinds of gemstones, pearls, and even the mirror used for makeup is polished with crystal, which is not the point, the focus is on what is inside the box.
Everyone knows that Catherine II did not have a good relationship with her husband, she deposed her own husband and ascended to the throne, and she was a rather ruthless female monarch. During his reign, the Russian Empire expanded dramatically, waging war against its rival, the Ottoman Empire, for many years, and winning every battle, and catching the last train of the Great Voyage Age.
This jewelry box contains a Katerine II's favorite jewelry, all kinds of jewelry are brilliant and dazzling, open the first floor is jewelry, the second layer is jewelry, and the third floor has a secret compartment.
After opening the drawer of this compartment, you can see that the things that appear inside and the makeup box inside, whether it is material or workmanship, and those precious jewelry, it is impossible to compare, but these things are much more expensive than these jewelry.
The first item to appear is two white gold rings without any gemstones, ordinary white gold rings, why is the collection so secret. Because these two platinum rings were worn by Catherine and her lover and the highly accomplished general Grigory when they were secretly married.
There was a legend in the Russian Empire that Catherine II had a very good relationship with him, the general's lover, and they had many children. It is said that they held an Orthodox wedding ceremony in a secret church, but the real thing has not been found, just the news of the queen and her lover lace.
But Yang, you found these two very ordinary white gold rings in your eyes, and the inside of the rings was actually engraved with the initials of Catherine II and her lover, and there was also a sentence carved in ancient Greek, True love is eternal.
These two rings are in white gold, which is nothing to be surprised about, but in the eyes of historians, this content in the rings is simply ironclad evidence that Catherine II remarried.
It turned out to be lace news and rumors, but since the appearance of these two rings, it has been proved that the secret marriage of Catherine II and her general lover across Grigory, Alexander Rodvich Potemkin is real, and the two are really together, which is a secret of the tsarist family of the Russian Empire.
Although Yang Nianzhong does not believe in God, he found these two rings, which makes you feel that there is really a god in this world, otherwise how could you be so lucky, holding these two platinum rings, Yang Nianzhong was crazy with happiness, and muttered in his mouth.
"Thank God, thank God for not expecting to find these two rings, I'm really lucky, this is called priceless."
At this time, the big bear who was squatting on the side and was observing the golden battleship in the crystal bottle stood up after hearing this, and looked at Yang Nianzhong, who was jumping and jumping with a strange face, grinned and said worriedly.
"Boss, are you alright? Are you sick? These two are ordinary platinum rings, what's worth making a fuss about, are you a little abnormal stimulated by the treasure. ”
Yang Nian angrily kicked the big bear's buttocks, held the two platinum rings in his hand and handed them to Nobita's eyes, and said through gritted teeth. "I think you're crazy, do you know what these two rings are?"
Big Bear blinked and said with a smile. "I don't know yet, then I'm really an idiot, two white gold wedding rings without diamonds."
Yang Nianzhong nodded and looked at what everyone said. "Do you know who this platinum wedding ring is? You know that the appearance of these two wedding rings has unraveled the lace news more than 200 years ago. ”
Big Bear pouted and said disapprehantly. "What lace news is worth the excitement of you, a billionaire, and not a nude photo of Catherine II."
Hey, Yang Nianzhong is excited, Big Bear is famous for his nerves among the mercenaries of the Honey Badger Squad, this guy's nerves are like steel bars, don't you really let Big Bear say it right this time, these two rings are related to Catherine II.
Next, Yang Nianzhong began to explain to everyone, what kind of rumors did Catherine II and his general lover Grigory have? This is a bit of a rebellion in the eyes of traditional Eastern morality, you say that you, a Russian female tsar, are actually married to a general.
Although the lace news has been circulating for more than 200 years, no evidence has been found, all of which are rumored to be married to the empress and the general, but the two wedding rings found in Yang Nian are evidence to prove it.
Catherine really married his lover, the general, and the two were married in the church, otherwise the two white gold rings would not have been engraved with the initials of the two men and a sentence of ancient Greece and true love would be eternal.
In addition to this, there is also a white gold cross inside, the cross carved on the cross is the crucifixion of Jesus, it is carved in white gold, although it is not heavy or large, but the back of the cross actually has the name of Catherine II written on it, which is the cross he wore from childhood to adulthood.
There is also an amethyst carved tablet, which is a sacred relic of the Russian Orthodox Church, and every Orthodox Christian has such a tablet for prayer, and the front is carved with three gods.
Almost every Orthodox Christian has such a holy plaque, but the material is gold, silver, copper, iron, and the shell is not carved with precious amethyst, and only the royal family has the financial resources to use amethyst to carve the holy plaque.
The information recorded on this holy tablet is particularly detailed, such as when was Catherine born? What height is there at birth? How much does it weigh? When was he baptized? When will you speak? When will you be able to walk? When to pray for the first time on your own.
