Chapter 227: Ban Men Get an Axe (Part 1)

"Teacher, are you asking me to sit on wax?"

Looking at the two top-quality seal stones in his hand, Fang Yi already understood it in his heart. It turned out that what the teacher said was to leave one and return one, but he wanted to carve a seal for Qin Haichuan.

If it were someone else, Fang Yi would not have much pressure. However, when he came here just now, he heard Hua Ziyi introduce Qin Haichuan and knew that Qin Haichuan is the most famous expert in collecting gold and stone in China and is also a master of seal carving.

According to Hua Ziyi, the price of Qin Haichuan's seal carving starts at least 50,000 yuan.

Even so, Qin Haichuan rarely helps people carve seals. Unless he asks for some unretreated relationships, Qin Haichuan will do it himself. Several private seals he carved in his early years have become collections of some museums.

"Xiao Fang, put away the things..."

Looking at the two seal stones, even Qin Haichuan couldn't help feeling a pain. If he hadn't been joking with Sun Lianda back then and said that as long as Sun Lianda took his disciples, he would have been willing to give this piece of Tianhuang stone, Qin Haichuan would not have been willing to take it out.

"Old Qin, this meeting gift is too expensive, I can't accept it..."

Fang Yi pondered for a while and put the two seals back into the box. Fang Yi did not show his intention in front of others, nor did he intend to take advantage of Qin Haichuan, so he prepared to return all the two seal stones.

"Well? Since I took it out, how could I take it back?" Qin Haichuan's face showed a hint of displeasure when he heard Fang Yi's words and said, "Have your teacher taught you the sentence "The elders dare not say no"?"

"But...but..."

"Nothing, I'll take it for you..."

Before Fang Yi could speak, he was interrupted by Qin Haichuan. Qin Haichuan was reluctant to ask for these two seals. Now he gave it to this young man as a gift, but he couldn't even give it to him, which made Qin Haichuan feel depressed.

"This...well..."

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Old Qin, when he came, the teacher once told me that I could only collect one of these two gifts, and the other one could not be accepted no matter what. I also hope that Mr Qin, you can understand the boy..."

"Well? Which is Lao Sun singing this?" Qin Haichuan was stunned when he heard Fang Yi's words. The person who called for these two stones was Sun Lianda, but why did he return one for him?

"this……"

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment, but the teacher did not explicitly ask him to engrave seals for Qin Haichuan. If he said what he said now, I wonder if others would think that he was a little unaware of the world.

"You little kid, you are not very happy..."

Qin Haichuan is a typical northerner person and has no airs in front of the younger generation. After looking at Fang Yi's desire to speak but stop, he originally wanted Hua Ziyi to see him off, but after looking at the box containing Tian Huangshi, Qin Haichuan felt a little reluctant.

"Okay, go to the room and talk..."

Qin Haichuan finally waved his hand and turned around to the staff around him and said, "You guys continue to clean up the decayed parts of the wood. Never destroy their own shape and structure. I will decide on a repair plan when I come back..."

Qin Haichuan is in charge of restoring a screen made of mahogany from the Kangxi period. This screen was tributed by Prince Cheng of the third son of Kangxi at that time. It has the word "10,000 longevity" written on it. It is also called the Wanshou Screen in history.

However, screens of this level may at least have dozens of them in the museum's basement. If this one hadn't been soaked in water, it would have probably not been on the agenda for repair.

"Tell me, what does Lao Sun mean? Do you want me to call him?"

After arranging a job, Qin Haichuan took Fat Fang Yi and Hua Ziyi to a room next to him. The room was not very big, only two rooms inside and outside, and it was a place where Qin Haichuan took a break after work.

"Old Qin, if you say it, don't blame me for being arrogant..." Fang Yi thought for a while, and gave Qin Haichuan a vaccination first.

"Arrogant, where do you start?"

Qin Haichuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Although he didn't like Fang Yi's hesitant nature, he still had no prejudice. With his identity, it was impossible for him to do anything to such a junior.

"The teacher's meaning is to let Fang Yi show off his skills in front of you..." Fang Yi said, "These two seal stones, one as a gift for the younger generation, and the other one, the teacher wants me to carve it out and give it back to you..."

After seeing the meeting gift from Qin Haichuan, Fang Yi naturally understood what the teacher meant. He wanted him, a student, to show off his skills in front of Qin Haichuan, but in terms of Fang Yi, it was a bit like being roasted on fire.

"What? Are you helping the teacher carve seals?"

Sure enough, before Fang Yi finished speaking, Hua Ziyi next to him couldn't help it. What a joke? His teacher Qin Haichuan was the first person in China to play with gold and stone seal carving. Fang Yi talked about seal carving in front of him, wouldn't he be playing a big knife in front of Guan Yu's door?

"Ahem, Teacher Sun means that's it..." Fang Yi coughed twice, his face slightly red. However, when it comes to the skills of seal carving, Fang Yi is not afraid of anyone, even if Qin Haichuan is a recognized famous artist in China.

"Well, it's interesting. Could it be that Lao Sun has also changed his career to play Jinshi?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Qin Haichuan was not angry, but instead smiled on his face and said, "Your teacher has also learned seal carving, but his skills are not as good as mine, but he has never been convinced. Is this asking you to find a place?"

Qin Haichuan and Sun Lianda have known each other for more than fifty years. In the 1970s, they were locked in a cowshed together, and their relationship was very good. So after hearing Fang Yi's words, he immediately guessed the thoughts of his old friend.

"Old Qin, you are wronging me..." Fang Yi smiled bitterly on his face and said, "It was only after I saw the gift you gave that I realized what the teacher was thinking. He... He clearly used me as a gun..."

"Hahaha, when you are a gun, you must have the characteristics of a gun..."

Fang Yi's words made Qin Haichuan laugh out loud. After the laughter fell, he spoke, "Fang Yi, since Lao Sun dares to ask you to carve seals for me, I guess you have some skills, but my two seal stones are the best among seal stones. Do you dare to carve seals on them?"

Qin Haichuan and Yu Xuan, another teacher of Fang Yi, have similar personalities, that is, they like to support their younger generations, so they were not angry after hearing Fang Yi's words, but instead had the intention of exploring Fang Yi.

"As long as you are willing to give up, I will naturally dare..."

Fang Yi lived in the mountains since he was a child. Compared with Fatty and Sanpao, he lacked some human relationships and worldly affairs, but in Fang Yi's heart, he did not have any so-called awe of authority, especially in the art of seal carving, Fang Yi asked himself that he was not inferior to anyone.

"Okay, this is a bit like a young man..." After hearing Fang Yi's words, Qin Haichuan nodded in approval, got up and entered the inner room. When he came out, he had an extra tool kit made of leather in his hand.

"Fang Yi, I have tools here. Do you dare to start carving seals now?" Qin Haichuan put the tool kit in front of Fang Yi. He wanted to see if this disciple of his old friend had real talents and knowledge or brag about it with his mouth.

"Teacher, how can this be done?"

Before Fang Yi could agree, Hua Ziyi next to him was reluctant. He knew that Tian Huangshi was a treasure that the teacher had collected for decades. He usually held it in his hand and played with it whenever he had time. Now he felt very distressed when he sent it out. If this was damaged by Fang Yi, the teacher should not get sick if he was angry.

"Ziyi, why are you excited..."

Qin Haichuan glanced at Hua Ziyi. He was generally satisfied with his disciple, but Hua Ziyi had one shortcoming, that is, his utilitarianism was a little more powerful, and he would put benefits ahead of everything.

"Teacher, this is a treasure you treasure. What if it is destroyed, what should I do?" Hua Ziyi was indeed a little excited. His current feeling was that the teacher was holding a priceless object to coax ignorant children to play with, and he was not afraid that the children would damage them.
