Where is my painting?

A well-dressed gentleman stood behind a podium and addressed the crowd. "Thank you for coming ladies and gentlemen, as always the Danzhi family is happy to see you. We will be following the same rules as usual and for those who are not familiar with the rules refer to your brochure or speak to your attendant.

We will now begin the Hua auction by auctioning off these peony decorated pearls crafted by royal craftsmen. These have been generously provided by the royal family to kick start the auction tonight and they are being priced at four hundred thousand. Can I get four twenty?"

The auctioneer went around announcing new bids as quickly as possible and within two minutes, the peony pearls were at one a half million.

In the private room, Chi Lian said, "Mother, we should take them."

"They will look beautiful if we decorate them the right way, maybe we could attach them to that antique grandfather clock." Mama Chi suggested.
