Chapter 921 Queen Victoria's Bracelet

The square jewelry box is not too gorgeous, but it makes people feel grand at first sight, which may have something to do with the simple texture of the carving on the surface of the box and the partial gold paste.

The jewelry box itself is quite beautiful as a decoration, but now there are other hidden treasures inside, which makes Li Mo's heart move even more.

"How much is this jewelry box?"

A customer who fancy a jewelry box asks about the price.

"This is an antique handed down from Queen Victoria's time. It is very valuable for collection. The bid is [-] euros."

The boss held up three fingers, and many people asked, but no one bought it. Anyway, it has not been sold, so the price was simply quoted high.Customers will bargain if they really want to buy it, so it’s better to bargain again at that time.

Obviously, the price drove the customer away. She handed the jewelry box to the boss, shrugged and said that the price was too high and she couldn't afford it.

The boss didn't care, just kept smiling.

Li Mo walked over at this time, smiled at the boss and pointed to the jewelry box in his hand.Juliet hurriedly followed, did he also fancy this antique jewelry box?Didn't it mean that many people tried and couldn't open it?Brute opening will also break it.

"Boss, I like this jewelry box very much. It's also very good as a decoration. It's just that the price of [-] euros is too exaggerated. If you ask for a real price, I can't afford it."

The boss looked at Li Mo wearing sunglasses, then at Juliet beside him and the two burly men standing in the distance, made a general judgment in his heart, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about decorations, they are more beautiful than this one." Many, the reason why my husband likes this jewelry box is more because of its history. Looking at it, we seem to be able to see what the Eagle Country was like more than 100 years ago. So this jewelry box can only be worth [-] euros. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

This boss is pretty good at talking, but he met a more difficult opponent.Li Mo put the jewelry box lightly on the counter table, and said softly: "No matter how good things are, they can only be used as decorations. If they can still be used normally, I can consider your bid. Now, three thousand euros."

Juliet will learn to be smart now. She knew that Li Mo wanted to make a move, so she said from the side: "Mr. Li, this jewelry box is useless, and it doesn't make much sense to buy it back. Let's go to other antique shops to see better ones." antique."

"Sir, this price is too low. I'm at a loss, and I really can't make a deal with you."

The boss acted bitterly, and Li Mo thought he was determined not to sell it, but he changed the subject and continued: "But Mr. Wang really likes this antique jewelry box, so I'll earn a little less and give you a real example." The price is 1.8 euros."

"Forget it, forget it, you should keep this price and sell it to other customers." After Juliet finished speaking, she pulled Li Mo and was about to leave. It’s too low, and I can’t even get my money back.”

"Boss, I can bid up to 5000 euros, and I can take it back as a decoration, and nothing more."

"Okay, I'll lose a little, and I'll go back to the book first." The boss hurriedly took out two contracts while looking extremely painful, as if he was afraid that he would regret it in the next moment.

After signing the contract and paying the payment, Li Mo took the jewelry box and asked, "Boss, what if there are other priceless antique jewelry in this antique jewelry box?"

"Haha, that's your luck, but what if there is nothing in it. And if you want to open this jewelry box, it is likely to destroy it, so it won't be worthless at that time, so I suggest taking it back as a perfect decoration .”

The boss finally sold the jewelry box that no one cared about, so he was in a good mood, and at this time he kindly persuaded him.

Li Mo smiled, picked up the jewelry box and walked out of the antique shop.

"Mr. Li, is there any mystery hidden in this jewelry box?"

Juliet asked curiously.

"This jewelry box is indeed an antique from the Victorian period. In the early days, the artwork was themed with natural animal and plant elements, such as lotus, trees, branches and leaves, and birds. The most common element in animals is the element of snakes. Look at this The surface of the jewelry box has thick natural patina, and the carved texture is the lotus pattern, which is the most typical Victorian art style. Look at the gold pasting process on the surface, think for yourself, before the mid-nineteenth century, that Who would be so extravagant to do this kind of craftsmanship on their jewelry box?"

Juliet showed a thoughtful look, and then said, "Do you have any judgment?"

"I naturally hope that it came out of the palace. I can only say that there is a certain probability." Li Mo handed the jewelry box to Juliet, "My friend, I'll give it to you."

"Can you be a little sincere?"

Juliet was a little annoyed.

"You really don't want it? If you don't want it, I will find a way to open it and see if there are any precious jewelry inside. We have explained everything, if there is any treasure inside, it is useless for you to regret it."

Juliet turned her head away, not wanting to speak to him.

Li Mo chuckled, saw a coffee shop not far away, and walked straight over.Choosing a quiet corner to sit down, the lunatic took the initiative to order two cups of coffee and a glass of lemonade, plus a fruit plate.

Putting the jewelry box on the table, Li Mo took out a small toolbox from his backpack. He took out a sharp carving knife and started destructive operations along the lock.

Juliet suddenly regretted it. Li Mo bought this jewelry box or the real goal was the unknown antique jewelry in the box. If he had known that if it really existed, it must be of high value.Even if he had nothing, he would only lose five thousand euros at most. Is this considered money?

With a snap, the lid of the jewelry box popped open, revealing a gap.

"Mr. Li, is there a trick in the jewelry box?"

"There is an iron buckle inside that fails, just like the lock we use now, it is locked inside, so you can only use violence to open the jewelry box."

Li Mo moved Mu Xu on the table aside, and then opened the cover under the expectant gazes of Juliet and the madman, and there was a soft, ordinary silk-like protective layer inside.

The cover is lifted to reveal a gold snake-shaped bracelet.Li Mo's eyes were solemn, the snake-shaped head was actually made of enamel, and there was a gold crown inlaid with diamonds on the top.

Wealth is overwhelming!

Li Mo picked up the snake-shaped gold bracelet inlaid with diamonds and enamel and looked carefully. There were two letters engraved on the inside of the gold bracelet, one was A and the other was V, which should represent the identity of the owner.

"Mr. Li, what kind of antique is this?"

Juliet asked with wide eyes and stammered a bit.

"Don't you see the crown on the serpent's head?"

It’s incredible just seeing it. Juliet’s house does not lack all kinds of antiques, so she is a bit knowledgeable.During the time of Queen Victoria of the Eagle Kingdom, only the queen was eligible to wear the crown.

"Look at these two letters."

Li Mo pointed to the two conspicuous letters on the inside. Juliet muttered a few times and suddenly exclaimed: "This is the initials of Queen Victoria's name. This must be her bracelet. My God, you actually found Victoria." Queen's bracelet."

"I vaguely remember that there is such a historical record in the Eagle Kingdom, that Queen Victoria wore a snake-shaped bracelet when she first attended Parliament, as a symbol of her wisdom and the continuation of her royal power. Do you think it is possible that this is what she wore? strip?"

After Li Mo finished speaking, he felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He turned his head and saw that Juliet's eyes were shining, while the lunatic stood up and looked vigilantly at the people who surrounded him out of curiosity.
