It can be said that Yu Xuan's fame is based on his decades of artistic achievements, which cannot be achieved overnight, and requires years of immersion in the skills of gold and stone seal carving and tireless artistic pursuit of gold and stone seal carving. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Therefore, if Fang Yiqing is better than Lan Bai Junsheng out of blue, he may believe it, but if it is said that Fang Yi's craftsmanship far exceeds Yu Xuan, Bai Junsheng thinks that it is an exaggeration, in Bai Junsheng's opinion, this is purely Yu Xuan promoting his own students, such words are not credible.

"Xiaoyu, I believe that Fang Yi is very good, but for young people, don't pull out the seedlings to help them grow. Bai Junsheng glanced at Yu Xuan meaningfully, it is appropriate to carry the young man, but he can't hold it too high all at once, otherwise it will hurt if he falls.

"Bai Lao, how can he use me to carry it, this kid's work is now hard to find in the market. ”

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, although he and Sun Lianda did some things in Fang Yi's growth process, but Fang Yi's works have been tested by the market, and at the apprenticeship banquet that year, Mr. Jinling Lan suddenly raised the price of Fang Yi's works.

Since that time, the price of Fang Yi's works in the market has been high, and because Fang Yi has been missing for a year, the shortage of works has made the market more sought after, and now the price of Fang Yi's jade carving works is not much better than some long-famous national craftsmen.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, what you said is true?"

Seeing Yu Xuan's serious appearance, Bai Junsheng's face also became serious, he pointed out Yu Xuan with words just now, Yu Xuan still admired Fang Yi so much, in front of so many people, presumably Yu Xuan would not tell lies.

"Bai Lao, let's take a look at things first. ”

Yu Xuan was still a little unconvinced when he saw Bai Junsheng's expression, and said to Fang Yi at the moment: "Take out the seal and show it to Bai Lao, if Bai Lao can praise a few words, I am afraid that the price of your kid's things will rise again." ”

Fang Yi's jade carving works, strictly speaking, belong to the category of cultural play, and most of the people who like cultural play are literati, Bai Junsheng's reputation in today's cultural circles is similar to Yu Xuan's in the antique world, and his praise will naturally lead cultural people 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 words. Fang Yi took out a gift bag from his side and placed three exquisite boxes with seals on the table.

"I'll take a look. ”

Bai Junsheng was not polite, he picked up a box casually, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes lit up, "Yes, it is Shoushan Stone, or the top Shoushan Tian Huangshi, this material is very good, and it is the most suitable for seals." ”

The seal is placed in the box, and the overall shape cannot be seen, but after holding it in his hand, Bai Junsheng was stunned for a moment, and the image of Shou Xing Gong carved out of the Huangshi of Shou Shan Tian jumped in front of him.

Since Fang Yi was promoted to innate cultivation, the objects carved by his hands seemed to have a kind of spirituality, which made people love it at a glance, Bai Junsheng was like this at the moment, his eyes looked at the seal in the shape of the birthday star, as if he could no longer pull it out.

"Bai Lao, how is this thing?" Seeing that Bai Junsheng didn't speak for a long time, Yu Xuan couldn't help but ask beside him.

"Huh?"

Bai Junsheng came back to his senses as if he had woken up from a dream, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good craftsmanship, I didn't expect Xiao Fang to use a miniature carving process on a seal, it's rare, it's really rare, Xiao Fang, I don't know how many days you carved this seal?"

In Bai Junsheng's view, this seal is very unique and innovative in terms of concept and shape, coupled with the micro-carving process that is the most headache for craftsmen, I am afraid that it will not be possible to make such a fine product in ten days and a half months.

"Grandpa Bai, I only got the material a few days ago, it didn't take much time, maybe less than half a day. Fang Yi was afraid of scaring Bai Junsheng, so he 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 cumbersome as this one.

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

Bai Junsheng was really frightened by Fang Yi's words, he himself also knew how to carve gold and stone seals, when the old man was not dazzled and his hands were not shaking, he carved the simplest seal, but it also took several hours of hard work to engrave the lettering, where had he ever seen such a fast speed.

"Bai Lao, Fang Yi is still slow. Yu Xuan smiled beside him: "You should know about the national stone selection a few days ago, right?"

"I know, I heard that Shoushan Stone was selected, by the way, aren't you a member of the selection committee?" Bai Junsheng nodded when he heard this, and said: "Shoushan Stone is not cheap in the first place, and this piece of material selected by Xiaofang is afraid that it is worth tens of thousands, this kid really has a heart." ”

Originally, the selection of Guoshi invited Bai Junsheng as the director of the jury, but during this time he was going to celebrate his birthday, and many relatives and friends came from Taiwan Island and at home and abroad, and some of his closest relatives and juniors Bai Junsheng also wanted to see him in person.

So Bai Junsheng turned down the invitation, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the selection of national stones, he only saw the selection of national stones from the newspaper two days ago, but he didn't know anything about the whole process.

"Bai Lao, Fang Yi carved a seal of the Great Wall at the site of the national stone selection, inscribed as the Shoushan National Stone, and someone offered a price of one million on the spot of this seal, but Fang Yi did not sell it in the end, but donated it to the Gem and Jade Association, which can be regarded as a donation to the country. ”

Yu Xuan roughly told him what happened at that time, and the people on the table next to him also pricked up their ears, they didn't expect that Fang Yi, such a young man, would have such talent, you know, the artworks that are included in the state are the treatment that only masters who have been famous for a long time can enjoy.

"A seal is worth a million? Xiao Fang, this congratulatory gift is a bit too expensive, isn't it?"

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Bai Junsheng's face was a little hesitant, if it was said that there were thirty or fifty thousand things, he would not have anything to accept, but the objects worth millions would give people a feeling of relying on the old and selling the old to get cheap.

"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 does not represent my respect for you. ”

Fang Yi has never been a sycophant, and he doesn't need to please anyone, but if Fang Yi really wants to say good things to people, it can also make people feel like a spring breeze.

Fang Yi's words made Bai Junsheng feel very relieved, he has been engaged in cultural and educational work all his life, Fang Yi praised other old men who may not care, but when it comes to him, it just tickles Bai Junsheng's itchy flesh.

"Well, the old man has been retired for so many years, and he is not afraid of gossip. ”

Bai Junsheng laughed, looked at Fang Yi and said: "If this is given by someone else, the old man will not dare to accept it, but this grandson-in-law gave it, I deserve it, orderly, put the things away, and I will savor it when I look back." ”

"Dad, the two of them are not married yet, and they are not even engaged yet. Bai Jingran reminded his father that if he is not married or engaged, he will call his grandson-in-law, which will make people laugh when it goes out.

"It's easy to get engaged without an engagement. ”

Bai Junsheng raised his eyebrows, he is also a person who is used to being a leader, and he acts very decisively, he slapped the table lightly at the moment, and said: "Today is a joy and joy, so many relatives and friends are here, so I will get engaged to these two children." ”

"Ah, this ...... This is a bit sloppy, isn't it?" Hearing his father's words, Bai Jingran was dumbfounded, he just said what he said just now because he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't expect it to lead to such a consequence.

"What's the sloppiness?"

Bai Junsheng glared and said, "Your parents are here, and the old man is also here, is it possible to wait for me to kick my legs and close my eyes before letting them get married?" I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson, okay, that's it, Xiaowan, what do you say?"

"Dad, we'll do whatever you say, I'm okay with that. ”

Wei Xiaowan had already been satisfied with Fang Yi a hundred times, if it weren't for her husband's face, she would have to discuss the marriage of the two with Fang Yi, so she naturally wouldn't have any opinions when she heard her father-in-law's words.

"Not even a bride price, really. ”

Bai Jingran muttered a sentence in his mouth, in fact, the bride price is not from the people, it was first popular among high-ranking officials and nobles, Bai Jingran is not greedy for money, but in terms of their family, this engagement and marriage is a big deal, whether things are expensive or not is secondary, the key is to have this process.

Bai Jingran's voice was very soft, and no one else heard what he said, but Fang Yi was so powerful that he heard his words clearly, and said at the moment: "Uncle, aunt, for the first time, I also prepared something for the two of you." ”

"Hmm, Xiaofang, you also prepared a gift for us?"

Wei Xiaowan liked Fang Yi's sensibility even more, and said at the moment: "Then take it out and let me appreciate the works of you, a young jade carving master." No matter what kind of woman she is, she has a little bit of vanity in her heart, and Wei Xiaowan naturally wants to let Fang Yi show her talent in front of so many relatives and friends.

"I got a deck of Go for my uncle. Fang Yi took out the black and white chess boxes and said, "This is a pair of flags made by my own hands, the white ones are made of good white jade, and the black ones are made of black jade, uncle, do you like it?"

"This flag is very good when you touch it in your hand. ”

Bai Jingran doesn't understand jade, but it doesn't hinder his aesthetics, when the black and white two sons are pinched by him with his fingers, a trace of coolness seems to make his mind clear, Bai Jingran knows, people raise jade at the same time jade will also raise people, but only the best jade, can make people feel this way.

"This is the top-notch white jade and black jade, Fang Yi, you are willing to do it. Yu Xuan also picked up a few chess pieces and looked at them, as soon as he got the chess pieces, he knew how the jade was, in Yu Xuan's opinion, using such a good jade to make chess pieces was a bit too tyrannical.

"Is this thing very valuable?" Bai Jingran was startled and hurriedly looked at Yu Xuan.

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

"Okay, Xiao Fang's mind, you just put it away, ask what the money is for?" Bai Junsheng is very open-minded, the son-in-law gives a gift to the father-in-law, it is not in the money but in the mind, no matter how much this thing is worth, it is made by Fang Yi himself, and this heart is the most rare.

"Fang Yi, what gift did you prepare for Auntie?"

Wei Xiaowan was a little curious in her heart, she knew that the chess pieces prepared by Fang Yi must have been informed by her daughter of her husband's preferences, but Wei Xiaowan liked jade in recent years, but she didn't believe that Fang Yi could find any good material to give to herself in a hurry.

"Auntie, I have been to Myanmar a little more in recent years, and I have prepared a set of accessories for you, which I also made myself. ”

Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, put a few boxes on the table, opened them one by one, and suddenly several coveted jade ornaments appeared in front of everyone.

In fact, Fang Yi had already sold the slightly worse materials blocked in Myanmar, so the rough stones he used to make these jewelry were all the best in jadeite, and the materials used for the bracelets and earrings almost all reached the yang green glass, which is commonly known as imperial green.

"This ...... It's 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 these jade jewelry in front of her, the jade that Wei Xiaowan has bought in recent years is simply not on the table.

"Auntie, if you like it, it's fine. ”

Hearing Wei Xiaowan's praise, Fang Yi was also relieved, although he didn't go to Bai Chuxia's house this time, it could be regarded as his first official visit, and now his parents from the old man to Bai Chuxia are very satisfied, and Fang Yi can be regarded as having completed the task.

"This thing must be very valuable, right? Mr. Yu, you are a big expert, tell me about it. Wei Xiaowan and her husband thought at a glance, their work was destined not to receive gifts from outsiders, so the first thought that came to their hearts was like this.

"Let's not measure it by money, right?"

Hearing Wei Xiaowan's words, Yu Xuan smiled bitterly, if he could still give a price for that chess piece, but even Yu Xuan didn't dare to offer a price for this set of jade jewelry, because he was afraid of scaring some people in the banquet.

"It's okay, tell me, no one will check the gift given by Xiao Fang. Wei Xiaowan made a joke with Yu Xuan, the things given by her son-in-law are naturally more valuable to her mother-in-law, the more face-saving she is, otherwise why would she let Fang Yi take it out in public.

"Hong Kong took a pair of jade bracelets last year, which is imperial green, and the quality is similar to this, a little bit worse than this. ”

Yu Xuan thought for a moment and said: "That pair of bracelets finally sold for 28 million Hong Kong dollars, as for this pair of earrings, in terms of jade quality and shape, it is a little better than Song Meiling's set of jade jewelry back then, this set of things is priceless." ”

Yu Xuan's evaluation is extremely high, because Fang Yi's works are originally popular in the market, and the jadeite itself is also superb, and the chemical effect produced by the combination of the two can definitely give birth to an incredible sky-high price.
