Her voice was clear and rhythmic, each word seemingly meticulously crafted, both dignified and approachable. She first extended a warm welcome to all the distinguished guests present and expressed her heartfelt gratitude for their attendance. She then mentioned the extraordinary significance of this auction and the history and stories behind the treasures to be displayed.

She briefly introduced the auction's process and rules, ensuring that every participant understood how to participate in the bidding.

Her words revealed a love for art and a pursuit of beauty, infectious enthusiasm in everyone present. As she concluded her remarks, the entire room erupted in enthusiastic applause, eagerly anticipating the exciting auction to come.

The first item in the auction was an exquisite plum blossom brooch, which the female presenter began introducing in an elegant tone. She described in detail the brooch's material: crafted from sterling silver and plated with fine white gold to ensure its lasting luster and durability. The plum blossom petals were meticulously carved, each one lifelike, as if one could almost smell its delicate fragrance. In Chinese culture, the plum blossom symbolizes resilience and purity, and the presenter explained that this brooch was not merely an ornament, but a work of art rich in cultural significance.

She continued, explaining that the design of this corsage was inspired by plum blossoms in classical gardens. The designer cleverly combined traditional elements with modern aesthetics, making the piece suitable for everyday wear as well as a gift for family and friends. The female host also mentioned that the corsage's production process is very complex, requiring multiple steps, including hand-grinding, polishing, and inlaying. Each step is completed by experienced craftsmen, ensuring the uniqueness of each piece.

During the introduction, the female host invited a guest to the stage. This guest, a renowned fashion designer, shared his thoughts on the plum blossom corsage. He pointed out that corsages can be styled in many ways, adding a unique charm to both evening gowns and casual wear. He also demonstrated how to pin the corsage to different styles of clothing, showcasing its versatility.

The female host then discussed the corsage's collectible value, explaining that its exquisite craftsmanship and limited edition status give it potential for appreciation. She further revealed that the corsage was designed by an internationally renowned artist whose works frequently fetch high prices at major auctions. Therefore, it is not merely a decorative item, but also a valuable art collectible worth investing in.

Finally, the female host announced the starting price for the plum blossom corsage and encouraged the bidders in the room to participate. With the sound of the auctioneer's gavel, the auction officially began, and the atmosphere gradually heated up as bidders raised their paddles, hoping to acquire this exquisite work of art.

Wen Shu wasn't particularly interested in these kinds of things; he simply looked at them quietly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the objects before him and reaching into something far away. Mu Chen also carefully observed Wen Shu, trying to read a trace of interest from his expression. He knew Wen Shu's preferences well, so he was always cautiously attentive, afraid of missing any item that might pique Wen Shu's interest. Mu Chen's gaze wandered among the display cases; he hoped to find that little object that could touch Wen Shu's heart.

The second item, a striking jade pendant, was slowly presented to the audience. The female host, in her elegant and professional tone, began introducing the piece. She first mentioned that the pendant had a long history, dating back to the late Qing Dynasty, a time of great change and upheaval. She explained that the pendant was made of precious Hetian jade, and its warm texture and delicate luster, even after a century, still conveyed its former glory.

The female host continued, explaining that the jade pendant's unique design incorporates traditional dragon and phoenix motifs, symbolizing good fortune and power. The dragon's lifelike form seems to soar through the clouds, while the phoenix spreads its wings as if about to take flight, the two complementing each other to create a harmonious beauty. She further pointed out that the pendant's carving is extremely exquisite, with every detail meticulously crafted by the artisans, reflecting the superb skills and pursuit of beauty of the craftsmen of that era.

During the introduction, the female host also mentioned the provenance of the jade pendant. It is said to have been a personal item of a Qing Dynasty nobleman, witnessing countless historical events and carrying rich cultural connotations and historical value. She emphasized that such a collection not only possesses extremely high artistic value but is also important material evidence for studying the social culture and customs of the late Qing Dynasty.

As the female host introduced the item, the atmosphere gradually heated up, with many collectors and historians showing great interest in the jade pendant. They raised their paddles, hoping to acquire this precious piece. The auction became even more tense and exciting, and the late Qing Dynasty jade pendant seemed to be telling its extraordinary story, waiting for a new owner to continue its tale.

At the auction, the atmosphere was tense and exciting. People raised their paddles and bid fiercely, creating a scene resembling a war without gunpowder. Wen Shu sat in the crowd, her gaze maintaining a detached calm, as if the intense competition had nothing to do with her.

This jade pendant, judging from its appearance, is typical of the late Qing Dynasty style, with a warm and lustrous jade and exquisite carving. However, Wen Shu knew that it was not made by a famous artist and did not bear any aristocratic mark. In the world of collecting, such items usually do not cause much of a stir. However, today it caused quite a stir at the auction, with its price soaring, which is quite surprising.

Wen Shu had a deep understanding of the historical background of the jade pendant. She knew that the owner of this jade pendant was probably just an ordinary merchant or minor official in the late Qing Dynasty, and what it carried was merely the imprint of the lives of ordinary people in that era. In her view, the value of this jade pendant lay not in its material value, but in the historical information and cultural significance it contained.

Despite this, none of the bidders at the auction seemed to care. They were captivated by the jade pendant's appearance and intoxicated by the auction's atmosphere, each one seemingly hypnotized, constantly raising the price. Wen Shu thought to herself, the price of this jade pendant had been pushed to an absurd level; she simply couldn't understand what kind of person would be willing to pay such a high price for it.
