Fan Ning lowered his head and took a few steps, turned to Fan Tiege and said, "Uncle Second is completely correct. You can't try to ship it hard just because Tianhuangshi becomes a treasure. That will only ruin the market. After all, Tianhuangshi is not a consumable like tea. It is just a toy for the powerful and wealthy. We must flow slowly. However, I still recommend putting two or three top-quality Tianhuangshi on the counter. What does the second uncle think?"

Fan Tiege nodded and took out two top-grade Tianhuangshi with bases from a box. They were as big as pebbles and placed under the most eye-catching lamp. They were like solidified honey, golden and thorough, without any impurities.

"Although they are all frozen stones, Tianhuangshi is still more pleasing to the eye." Fan Ning praised sincerely.

"This is the royal color, so it is more precious. Now every minister of the court uses Tianhuangshi for his private seals, but unfortunately it is not sold here."

Speaking of this, Fan Tiege sighed again, with a look of regret in his eyes, "Since the imperial court monopolized the source of Tianhuangshi, every jewelry store has Tianhuangshi for sale. Our business here has become much slower, and only those who truly understand the industry will come to our store."

Fan Ning smiled and comforted Uncle Er and said, "Uncle Second, Tian Huangshi is just a treasure, not an antique. Antiques are important to be alone, but Tian Huangshi is the opposite. If it does not become a guest of honor for most powerful and wealthy people, everyone will forget it over time. Besides, Tian Huangshi has always been monopolized by us and will be jealous of people. Uncle Second said, right?"

"You are right, I am too obsessed with it!"

Fan Tiege is also a person who can do big business. Of course, he also understands these principles, but he takes Tian Huangshi too seriously, so he feels loss. His nephew's words finally made him emerge from his anxiety about gains and losses.

At this time, Fan Ning discovered something strange. He didn't see a piece of Zhu Zhe's work from downstairs to upstairs. He asked strangely: "Second uncle, why are there no stone statues carved by Zhu Zhe?"

Fan Tiego smiled and said, "Since two years ago, he has not carved small things."

"Why?"

Fanning suddenly felt a bad feeling. Could it be Ape's parents...

"Did his parents not let him carve stone statues for us?"

"That's not. Everyone is happy that his mother has become a famous carving. It's because he has been carving a large jade carving in the past two years, so there is no time to carve small stone statues for us."

"What is he carving?" Fanning asked curiously.

"Do you still remember the Tianhuang Jiulong incense burner you carved in Toutulang in Changzhou County?"

Fanning nodded. Of course he remembered that the incense burner was still in the emperor's imperial study room, and he saw it in the imperial study room yesterday.

"Two years ago, Donghai County mined a piece of white jade weighing 3,000 kilograms and presented it to the court. It just so happened that a sacrificial cauldron was missing in the ancestral temple. The emperor liked the jade furnace, so he wanted to carve this piece of white jade of 3,000 kilograms into a Nine Dragon Jade Incense Burner. However, Yulang had passed away and his son could not take on the job. The emperor entrusted the incense burner to Zhu Zhe. In the past two years, Zhu Zhe has been carving this Nine Dragon Jade Incense Burner. Not only did he carve nine dragons, but he also carved Wu Daozi's "Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture" on the furnace. This is the first great weapon that Zhu Zhe carved. If it succeeds, he will advance from carving everyone to the master of carving. So far, this Nine Dragon White Jade Incense Burner has only completed 70%, which shows the difficulty of carving."

"Didn't there be any inventory of statues in that store?"

"Yes! More than a hundred more."

Fan Tiege showed a honest smile on his fat round face, "I'm waiting for his Jiulong Incense Burner to be carved successfully before selling it. The price will definitely be different at that time."

Fan Ning rolled his eyes. This second uncle has become a businessman. No wonder he was able to give birth to two sons who were about to fly in the sky.

"Second uncle, second aunt is okay!"

"She is so good! But it's better for you not to see her these two days."

"Why?" Fan Ning looked stunned.

"Aren't you going to get married soon? This incident has stimulated your second aunt. Her two precious sons ran overseas to escape the marriage, which made her full of anger and nowhere to vent. To be honest, I'm afraid to go home for two days, my uncle." Fan Tiege said pitifully.

Fan Ning couldn't help but laughed loudly. After a while, he stopped and said, "Second uncle, Mingren Mingli was not escaping marriage, but rushing gold. They have made a fortune now. Do you know how much gold Ai Ren brought back this time?"

Fan Ning whispered in Uncle Second's ear, and Fan Tiege's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver, staring at Fan Ning incredibly, "Aning, you didn't coax me!"

"Uncle Second, I am also a dignified magistrate of Kunzhou. What should I coax you to do?"

Fan Tiege couldn't believe that his son actually brought back 60,000 taels of gold, which was converted into silver and 600,000 taels!

He suddenly became extremely worried again, "Anning, how many people know about this?"

Fan Tiege knew very well that if he did not reveal his wealth, if this incident spread, it would bring death to his two sons.

"Don't worry, uncle, second,! Only four people know now, I'm afraid even Master Zhu doesn't know. Maybe Zhu Pei will know in the future that 30% of it belongs to her, but I will remind her to keep the secrets strictly and the news will never spread."

"Anning, you must not tell this matter! That would cause a big disaster."

"Don't worry! I understand in my heart."

Fan Ning went to the warehouse for a walk, and then said goodbye to his second uncle. He would go to see his grandfather Fan Zhongyan today.

When Fan Ning heard that he was going to visit Fan Zhongyan, Fan Tiege gave him the address of Fan Zhongyan's new home, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say something. Fan Tiege really didn't know what to say.

Fan Zhongyan has moved to the outer city, and it was the house given to him by the emperor Zhao Zhen. Fan Zhongyan's body has completely collapsed in recent years. Zhao Zhen wanted to use him again, but according to Fan Zhongyan's physical condition, he had no choice but to think about it.

He was named the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, so that he could rest assured to recuperate in the mansion.

However, although Fan Zhongyan was unable to become an official again because of his health, he retreated and often wrote letters to criticize the emperor for ignoring the lower class, criticizing the court for having too many specialties and competing for profit with the people.

His memorials were sharp and meaningful, and all kinds of evidence were sufficient. Every time he wrote a letter, it would trigger fierce debates at the court meeting, so that court officials gave Fan Zhongyan the title of "hidden censor".

Fan Zhongyan's new house is near Xiwazi, Outer City. It is easy to find. There is a private house there. Fan Zhongyan's new house is the innermost one. Fan Ning's carriage stopped in front of the gate steps and saw a hunchbacked old man in a cloth clothes sweeping the floor on the steps. Fan Ning jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Master...ah! It's my grandfather."

Before Fan Ning could finish speaking, the old man raised his head and immediately frightened Fan Ning. The hunchbacked old man turned out to be his grandfather Fan Zhongyan. Why did he become so old?

Fan Ning quickly knelt down and bowed, "Grandson kowtowed to his grandfather!"

Fan Zhongyan showed a smile on his face, but when he saw the gorgeous carriage Fan Ning was riding in, the smile on his face disappeared again and said lightly: "Get up!"

Fan Ning felt that the tone of the grandfather in the church was a little cold, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy, not knowing that something was wrong with him.

"That carriage belongs to the Zhu family!" Fan Zhongyan glanced at the carriage again.

Fanning suddenly realized that this carriage was too gorgeous. How could the grandfather, who always advocated simplicity, be happy?

He quickly explained: "I have a grandfather, my grandson is riding a horse in Kunzhou. Because I went to the Firearms Office outside the North City this morning to test the lightning, carrying a very important confidential object, weighing 150 kilograms, so I borrowed this carriage from Mr. Zhu. It is definitely not that my grandson is greedy for luxury. My grandson will return the carriage to Mr. Zhu tonight."

Fan Zhongyan's face then calmed down, "I didn't say you can't ride in such a carriage. The strange stone hall is also yours. I know you have the financial resources, but having money doesn't have to be arrogant, for fear that others don't know that you are a rich man. This is actually a matter of cultivation. Extraordinary but not gorgeous, and indifferent but not revealing. This is what a gentleman does. Have you remembered it?"

"Grandfather's teachings are kept in mind!"

"Let's go! Go in and talk."

Fan Zhongyan admires this grandson the most. He dug up this treasure from the countryside of Wuxian. Unexpectedly, he thought it was rare to have beautiful jade, but now it has become a peerless treasure. He was promoted to a fifth-rank official at the age of nineteen. If this momentum remains unchanged, he can become a minister in his thirty years old.

Thinking about my second son, although he is also a genius, he is still a little less capable of seizing opportunities than Fan Ning.

The two walked into the mansion and Fan Ning looked at the scenery in the mansion. Although the mansion is not small, covering at least ten acres of land, it is really too simple. Vegetable fields, thatched cottages, wild land, ponds, and it is simply a farmhouse.

"Why, I think it's not luxurious enough here?"

Fan Zhongyan joked, "If you sympathize with your grandfather, then move your Cuiyun Peak to me. I don't mind it being luxurious at all."

Fan Ning's back sweat was gone, and he actually took a fancy to Cui Yunfeng. His grandfather's eyes were so poisonous!

He wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said, "That was taken by Pei'er's grandfather. His grandson dared not give it to him, but I can give Qingshu to my grandfather."

Fan Zhongyan is also a person who loves stones, but his wealth is donated to his hometown to run schools and charity houses. He has no money left, so he can only see the beautiful stones. He was a little moved by Fan Ning's statement.

He smiled and said, "That green coral is the treasure of the strange stone museum. Are you willing to give it to me?"

"Qingshu is a grandson's belonging. The grandson is willing to respect his grandfather. If there are creeks and mountain travel stones in the store, Qingshu will be returned to his grandson, just for his grandfather."

Since it was a grandson's belonging, Fan Zhongyan didn't want to be polite, so he smiled and said, "I also like that green coral very much. Since you are willing to give it up, let's lend it to me for my twilight years!

Fan Ning's nose felt sour and said, "The stones traveling in the mountains are also for their grandson, so they should be placed in their grandfather's study!"
