It can be said that Yu Xuan's fame is based on his decades of artistic achievements. This artistic achievement cannot be achieved overnight. It requires years of immersion in the skills of gold and stone seal carving and the tireless artistic pursuit of gold and stone seal carving.

So if Fang Yiqing is better than Lan Baijunsheng, it may be believed, but if Fang Yi's skills are far superior to Yu Xuan, Bai Junsheng would think it is an exaggeration. In Bai Junsheng's view, this is purely Yu Xuan's support for his students, so this is not worthy of trust.

"Xiao Yu, I believe Fang Yi is very good, but for young people, don't pull out seedlings to help grow." Bai Junsheng looked at Yu Xuan with a deep meaning. It is appropriate to support young people, but he cannot hold them too high at once, otherwise it will hurt if he falls down.

"Old Bai, how can I support him? This kid's work is hard to find in the market now."

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. Although he and Sun Lianda did some things during Fang Yi's growth, Fang Yi's works have been tested by the market. At the apprentice banquet that year, the President Jinling Lan suddenly increased the price of Fang Yi's works.

Since then, the prices of Fang Yi's works in the market have been high. Moreover, because Fang Yi's works have been missing for a year, the market has been sought after. Now, the prices of Fang Yi's jade carvings are no less than some national-level craftsmen who have been famous for a long time.

"Oh? Xiao Yu, are you saying true?"

Seeing Yu Xuan's serious look, Bai Junsheng's expression also became serious. He had just pointed out Yu Xuan with words. Yu Xuan still admired Fang Yi so much. In front of so many people, Yu Xuan must not lie.

"Old Bai, let's take a look at the things first."

Yu Xuan was a little disbelief when he saw Bai Junsheng's expression. He immediately said, "Take out the seal and give it to Mr. Bai to appreciate it. If Mr. Bai can praise him a few words, the price of your kid's things will probably rise again."

Fang Yi's jade carvings strictly belong to the category of cultural relics, and most of the people who like cultural relics are literati. Bai Junsheng's reputation in the cultural world today is similar to Yu Xuan in the antique world. His praise will naturally lead cultural figures to pursue Fang Yi's works.

"Grandpa Bai, I made three seals, one is the name of your study, and the other two are your name and characters." Fang Yi took out a gift bag from beside him and placed three exquisite boxes containing seals on the table.

"I'll take a look."

Bai Junsheng was not polite either. He picked up a box casually. As soon as he opened his eyes, he lit up. "Yes, is it Shoushan Stone or the top Shoushan Tianhuang Stone. This material is very good and is the most suitable for making seals."

The seal was placed in the box, and the overall shape was not visible, but after holding it in his hand, Bai Junsheng was stunned. The image of a longevity star carved from the yellow stone of Shoushantian was vividly seen. The vivid expression and micro-carving craftsmanship looked like it was real.

Since Fang Yi advanced to his innate cultivation, the objects carved by him seemed to have a kind of spirituality, which made people unable to put them down at first glance. This is what Bai Junsheng is like at this moment, looking at the seal in the shape of a birthday star, as if he could never pull it out again.

"Old Bai, how is this thing?" Seeing that Bai Junsheng looked at it for a long time but didn't say anything, Yu Xuan couldn't help but ask next to him.

"ah?"

Bai Junsheng came back to his senses like a dream, nodded repeatedly, "Okay, good craftsmanship, I didn't expect Xiao Fang to use micro-carving techniques on a seal. It's rare, it's really rare. Xiao Fang, I wonder how many days have you carved this seal?"

In Bai Junsheng's opinion, this seal is very unique and innovative in terms of conception and shape. In addition, the micro-carving craftsmanship that makes craftsmen the most troublesome, I'm afraid that it will not be able to make such a fine product within ten days and half a month.

"Grandpa Bai, the materials I got just a few days ago have not been used much time, it's probably less than half a day." Fang Yi was afraid of scaring Bai Jun and kept a lot of words. In fact, he carved seven or eight seals in less than half a day, but the other few were not as complicated as this one.

"In less than half a day, how is this... this possible?"

Bai Junsheng was indeed frightened by Fang Yi's words. He himself also knew how to carve a seal with gold and stone. When the old man was not dazed or trembling, he carved a simplest seal, but it took several hours to engrave the letters. He had never seen such a fast speed.

"Old Bai, Fang Yi is still slow." Yu Xuan smiled beside him and said, "You should know about the Guoshi selection a few days ago, right?"

"I know, I heard that Shoushan Stone was selected. By the way, aren't you the member of the selection committee?" Bai Junsheng nodded and said, "Shoushan Stone is not cheap at all. The material Xiao Fang chose is probably worth tens of thousands. This kid is really meant."

Originally, Guoshi's selection invited Bai Junsheng as the director of the jury, but during this period he was about to celebrate his birthday. Many relatives and friends came from Taiwan and abroad, and some of his close relatives and younger generations also wanted to meet him in person.

So Bai Junsheng turned down the invitation and had no time to pay attention to the Guoshi selection. He only saw the Guoshi selection in the newspaper two days ago, but he knew nothing about the whole process.

"Old Bai, Fang Yi carved a seal from the Great Wall at the site of the National Stone selection. The inscription was written as Shoushan National Stone. Someone offered this seal at the scene of the site for one million yuan, but Fang Yi did not sell it in the end, but donated it to the Gem and Jade Association, which can be regarded as donating it to the country."

Yu Xuan roughly told the story about it, and the people on the table next to him also raised their ears. They didn't expect that Fang Yi, a young man, would have such talent. You must know that the artworks included by the country are all the treatments that only masters who have been famous for a long time can enjoy.

"A seal is worth millions? Xiao Fang, is this gift a little too expensive, right?"

After hearing Yu Xuan's words, Bai Junsheng's face became a little hesitant. If it were 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, he would have nothing to take it away, but items worth millions would give people a feeling of relying on their seniority and being good at making money.

"Grandpa Bai, you have cultivated and educated such an excellent granddaughter. Not to mention that it is worth millions, even if it is worth tens of millions, it cannot represent my respect for you."

Fang Yi never flatters people, and he doesn't need to please anyone, but if Fang Yi really wants to say good things to others, it can make people feel as if they are in spring.

Fang Yi's words made Bai Junsheng feel very comforted. He has been engaged in cultural education throughout his life. Fang Yi may not care about other old men, but when it comes to this, he just scratched Bai Junsheng's itchy flesh.

"Okay, the old man has retired for so many years, and he is not afraid of others gossiping."

Bai Junsheng laughed and looked at Fang Yi and said, "If it were someone else's gift, the old man would not dare to accept it. However, I deserve it because of this grandson-in-law's gift. Jingran, put away the things and I will savor it carefully when I look back."

"Dad, they are not married yet, and they are not even engaged." Bai Jingran reminded his father that those who are not married or engaged call them grandson-in-law, which will make people laugh if they are not married.

“It’s easy to get engaged.”

Bai Junsheng raised his eyebrows. He was also a person who was used to being a leader. He acted very decisively. He slapped the table gently and said, "I am so happy today. I'm so happy. I'm so many relatives and friends are here, so I'm engaged to these two children."

"Ah, this... isn't this a bit hasty?" Bai Jingran was stunned when he heard his father's words. He said what he said just now because he was still a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, it would lead to such a consequence.

"What's the sloppy?"

Bai Junsheng glared and said, "Your parents are all here, and I am here too, old man. Could it be that I will let them get married after I kick my legs and close my eyes? I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson. OK, that's it, Xiaowan, what do you think?"

"Dad, we will do whatever you say, I have no objection."

Wei Xiaowan had long been satisfied with Fang Yi. If she hadn't taken care of her husband's face, she would have probably discussed the marriage with Fang Yi, so she would naturally not have any objection when she heard her father-in-law's words.

"Not even a bride price, really."

Bai Jingran muttered, in fact, the bride price was not from the people, but was popular among the nobles at first. Bai Jingran was not greedy for money, but for their family, engagement and marriage were a major event. Whether things are expensive or not is secondary. The key is to have this process.

Bai Jingran spoke very softly, and no one else heard what he was saying, but Fang Yi was so good at hearing that he heard clearly. He said immediately: "Uncle, aunt, the first time I came here, I have prepared something for you and the two of you."

"Hmm? Xiao Fang, have you prepared a gift for us?"

Wei Xiaowan likes Fang Yi's sensibility even more and said, "Then let's take it out and let me appreciate the works of you, a young jade carving master." No matter what kind of woman you are, you feel a little vain in your heart. Wei Xiaowan naturally wants to let Fang Yi show her talents in front of so many relatives and friends.

"What I prepared for my uncle is a pair of Go." Fang Yi took out the two black and white chess boxes and said, "This is a pair of flags I made with my own hands. The white zi is made of good white jade. Heizi is made of black jade. Uncle, do you like it?"

"This flag is very textured when you touch it."

Bai Jingran does not understand jade, but it does not hinder his aesthetic view. When the black and white sons were pinched by him with his fingers, a hint of coolness seemed to make his mind clear. Bai Jingran knew that while people raise jade, jade will also raise people, but only the best jade can make people feel this way.

"This is the top white jade and black jade. Fang Yi, you are willing to do so." Yu Xuan also picked up a few chess pieces and looked at them. He knew the quality of the jade as soon as he bought the chess pieces. In Yu Xuan's opinion, using such good jade to make chess pieces is a bit too wasteful.

"Is this thing very expensive?" Bai Jingran was shocked and quickly looked at Yu Xuan.

"Don't ask about the price, anyway, you can't afford your salary in your life." Yu Xuan was more than ten years younger than Bai Junsheng, but more than ten years older than Bai Jingran, so he was still talking casually in front of Bai Jingran.

"Okay, Xiao Fang's intention, just put it away and ask what the money is for?" Bai Junsheng was very open-minded. The son-in-law gave gifts to his father-in-law, which was not the money but the intention. No matter how much the thing is worth, it was made by Fang Yi himself. This intention is the most rare.

"Fang Yi, what gift did you prepare for your aunt?"

Wei Xiaowan was a little curious at this moment. She knew that Fang Yi had prepared the Go piece, which must have been told by her daughter about her husband's preferences. However, Wei Xiaowan has loved jade in recent years, but she didn't believe that Fang Yi could find any good materials to give to her in a hurry.

"Auntie, I have been to Myanmar a little more in the past few years. I have prepared a set of jewelry for you, which I made myself."

Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, placed several boxes on the table, and opened them one by one. Suddenly, several jade jewelry with mouth-watering colors appeared in front of everyone.

In fact, Fang Yi had already sold the slightly worse materials that were blocked in Myanmar, so the raw stones he used to make these jewelry were all the best in jade. The materials used for bracelets and earrings were almost as good as the Yang Green glass type, which is commonly known as the Imperial Green.

"This...this is so beautiful."

It is a woman's nature to love beauty. When she saw these jewelry for the first time, Wei Xiaowan almost held her breath. Compared with the jade jewelry placed in front of her, the jade Wei Xiaowan bought in recent years is simply unavailable to the table.

"Auntie, you like it."

When Fang Yi heard Wei Xiaowan's praise, he felt relieved. Although he was not at Bai Chuxia's house this time, it was also his first official visit. Now his parents from the old man to Bai Chuxia are very satisfied, and Fang Yi has completed the task.

"This thing must be very expensive, right? Teacher Yu, you are a big expert, tell me." Wei Xiaowan and her husband thought about it. Their work was destined to not be able to receive gifts from outsiders, so the couple immediately thought of this.

"Let's not use money to measure it?"

Hearing Wei Xiaowan's words, Yu Xuan smiled bitterly. If he could give a price for the go piece, even Yu Xuan would not dare to offer this set of jade jewelry because he was afraid of scaring some people at the table.

"It's okay, tell me, no one will investigate the gifts given by Xiao Fang," Wei Xiaowan and Yu Xuan joked. Naturally, the more expensive the things given by her son-in-law, the more face she is, the more she has. Otherwise, why would she let Fang Yi take them out in public?

"Last year, Hong Kong took a pair of jade bracelets, which were imperial green, with similar appearance to this one, a little bit worse than this one."

Yu Xuan thought for a while and said, "That bracelet was sold at the end of 28 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the earrings, in terms of jade quality and shape, it is even better than the jade jewelry made by Soong Mei-ling back then. This set of things is priceless."
