In the grand hall of the Imperial Palace, Du Zhongjing had seen all sorts of treasures. Knowing Old Granny Zhang's background and hearing her courteous words, he didn't pay much attention, since one cannot refuse a gift from an elder, thinking it was just a small trinket.
He bowed and took the gift, only to nearly gasp in surprise. It was an exceptionally fine Mutton Fat White Jade Pendant. The craftsmanship, the carving technique, and the inconspicuous signature on the pendant's edge: Zifeng. Was this not the work of the famous jade carving master, Master Zifeng, from the previous dynasty?
Master Zifeng's works were highly acclaimed. Sadly, he passed away in his prime. After his death, no one could inherit his carving techniques, making them a lost art.
People considered it an honor to own a piece of Master Zifeng's jade works.
