Chapter 1277 The Diamond Necklace That Triggered the Revolution

"Steven, can you leave this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch in Brussels? The historical significance it contains is too great, and it is definitely a top-level antique work of art!

Although our Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium does not collect this kind of antique jewelry, I am sure that the Belgian History Museum must be very interested in it, and I can help you contact them”

Gatlinck said eagerly, looking at Ye Tian eagerly.

The same was true for Jurgen standing next to him, his eyes were full of anticipation, envy, even jealousy.

However, Ye Tian firmly shook his head and rejected Gatlink's request.

"I'm very sorry, Gaitrink, Jurgen, you don't need to think too much, this pearl and diamond bow brooch of Queen Mary is impossible to stay in Belgium!"

Hearing this, the two experts in Belgian antique art appraisal immediately became anxious.

"Why is it impossible to stay in Belgium? If it's because of money, then you can discuss it with the History Museum. Based on the valuation you just gave, the History Museum may also accept it!"

"That's right! Money is not an issue at all. There is a history of the French Revolution hidden behind this top jewelry piece, and that is the most important thing!"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Betty, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"Gentlemen, you may not know that Betty and I will get married soon, and the most important purpose of our trip to Europe this time is to prepare for our wedding.

One of the tasks is to go to France to customize the top jewelry. The appearance of this pearl and diamond bow brooch can be said to be just right, and it is a gift from God.

If Betty likes this piece of jewelry, then this brooch, Queen Mary's favorite, will belong to Betty from now on, no matter how much it is worth and how important it is in history! "

"Wow! It turns out that because of this, it seems that we are dead, what a pity!"

Gatrink said with emotion, eyes full of regret.

Immediately afterwards, he congratulated Ye Tian and Betty and wished them a happy wedding.

The other couples like Jurgen, Joseph, and Brother Zhang also expressed their congratulations to Ye Tian and Betty.

After being polite,

Ye Tian continued to say:

"If Betty has no idea of ​​keeping this brooch, then I plan to exchange it for several famous Chinese antique works of art, which are in the Louvre and Fontainebleau in France.

I'm sure that as soon as word of this top jewel gets out, those old folks at the Louvre and Fontainebleau will reach out to me, trying to get their hands on this Queen Marie brooch.

In case we can’t reach an agreement and can’t exchange as we wish, I’m going to send this top-level jewelry with extraordinary historical significance to the New York autumn auction, so that all buyers who are interested in it can compete fairly.

The super-rich in the upper class of the United States have always flocked to the antique artworks from the European royal family in order to be arty, not to mention that this is the beloved item from the peerless Queen Mary.

In the auction in New York, as long as it is operated properly and the publicity is sufficient, this pearl and diamond bow brooch of Queen Mary may even fetch a sky-high price of more than 50 million euros, which is impossible in Europe!

The last option is to sell it to your Belgian History Museum. This possibility is basically non-existent, so I said that you have no chance, so don’t think too much! "

Hearing these words, what else can Gatrink and the others say? It's useless to say anything!

"I figured it out, Steven, you are an extremely greedy guy, just like the legends, this top-notch jewelry is definitely not for us!"

"It's such a pity! Such an incomparably precious treasure has been hidden in Brussels for more than two hundred years. No one found it, but it finally fell into the hands of you. God is so unfair!"

While Gaitrink and Jurgen were filled with emotion, they also looked at the Ghent father and son not far away, their eyes full of sympathy and pity!

The same goes for other people at the scene. Everyone looked at the Ghent father and son with sympathy in their eyes, and even felt that they were extremely pitiful!

As for Ye Tian, ​​he didn't even bother to talk to the pair of antique liars, perhaps this was their retribution.

At the same time, Mattis and Taylor, who were on the scene, had been secretly on high alert.

Not only were they guarding against the Ghents and his sons to prevent them from suddenly losing their minds and violently attacking them, they were also secretly guarding against the two Belgian policemen, who might not be reliable either!

After appreciating the pearl and diamond bow brooch for a while, everyone's eyes shifted to the table leg in Ye Tian's hand again.

Judging from the fact that he still held the table leg and did not put it down, there was obviously something in that table leg, and it might be another piece of priceless top jewelry.

"Steven, what treasure is in that table leg? Take it out and let everyone open their eyes!"

Joseph said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the table leg in Ye Tian's hand.

"Well, I also really want to see what treasures are hidden here? Maybe it's another huge surprise. If that's the case, it would be great!"

With that said, Ye Tian stood upside down on the table legs again, and poured out a small bag wrapped in white silk and satin from it.

The moment they saw this small white satin bag, everyone immediately understood that it was another piece of top jewelry that Queen Mary sent to Brussels but was secretly intercepted by her sister.

There is no other reason why everyone came to such a judgment, just because the Bourbon dynasty logo on the white satin bag is exactly the same as the one seen before.

After getting the small white satin bag, Ye Tian didn't open it right away, but pretended to look at the hidden compartment on the table leg, shook the table leg again, and said with a light smile:

"There is nothing else in here, it's a bit of a pity, I'm still looking forward to discovering the diamond necklace that Louis XV specially ordered a top jeweler in Paris to please his mistress Madame du Barry.

According to legend, the famous diamond necklace is inlaid with 647 diamonds, weighing 2,800 carats, and worth two million livres. It is known as an 'unprecedented' level of luxury.

Although Louis XV ordered the diamond necklace, he died too early and too suddenly, and did not have time to pay for it. After many twists and turns, the necklace finally fell into the hands of Queen Mary.

It would be perfect to find that diamond necklace today! That would have caused a huge stir, but obviously, that unprecedented diamond necklace wasn't in this table leg! "

Saying that, Ye Tian put the table leg in his right hand on the ground, ready to disassemble the newly discovered white satin bag.

"Steven, I have to say, you guys are really greedy to the extreme, you still want to find that famous diamond necklace, you are so greedy!

For the French, the famous diamond necklace that caused countless turmoil is definitely a national treasure among national treasures. Once it appears, it will definitely shake the whole country.

Because of that diamond necklace, Louis XV was notorious for reneging his promise and gaining weight. Because of that diamond necklace, a cardinal was arrested and directly removed from office.

Also because of that diamond necklace, Queen Mary was completely convicted of 'wronging the country'. It can be said that that diamond necklace was an important incentive for the French Revolution!

For that famous necklace incident, the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas also specially created a historical novel, "The Queen's Necklace", from which we can see the importance of that diamond necklace!

Unfortunately, according to legend, the priceless diamond necklace was embezzled by the famous female liar Jenny, and was dismantled and sold separately on the black market, never to be seen again! "

Gatlink said angrily, but there was a bit of regret in his eyes, who wouldn't want to see a miracle happen again!

While speaking, Ye Tian had already untied the small white satin bag in his hand, and the objects wrapped in layers appeared in front of everyone.
