Mr. Liu’s villa is very big. After all, the entire villa area was developed by his eldest son. This villa built to honor his father is naturally extra large.
The entire villa area has a dedicated parking lot, which is not far from Mr. Liu’s villa and can be reached in a few minutes’ walk.
Many of the concierges, who were between fifty and seventy years old, parked their cars in the parking lot and walked over, but there were also a few special people who came directly by car.
For example, the octogenarian in front of us was helped down from the car tremblingly.
Upon seeing the old man, the other three, including Mr. Liu and Yang Jing, all greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Geng. We are really sorry that you have troubled us to come here in person." As the landlord and one of the protagonists today, Mr. Liu naturally had to speak first.
“Haha, seeing the four of you accepting disciples together, it’s the wish of us old guys. Seeing that the four of you are buried in the dirt up to your neck and still can’t find a good disciple, we old guys are worried about you.” Old Geng said with a smile as he got off the car.
Mr. Geng is 96 years old this year. He is the oldest expert in the Palace Museum and one of the top porcelain masters in the country. Cai Yi learned a lot about porcelain from Mr. Geng in those days.
Old Geng looked at Yang Jing standing beside him, smiled and said to Old Liu and the other four, "This child is good. I talked to Old Yang on the phone, and I know a little about this child. You four are blessed."
As he spoke, Old Geng waved to Yang Jing, who immediately took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "Hello, Grandpa Geng."
"Well, you are a good young man. You must study hard with the four masters in the future and don't let them down."
"Well, Grandpa Geng, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the unique skills of the four masters."
"Haha, Old Geng, you're here too? I just heard someone inside say you were here, and I didn't quite believe it, so I came out to see, and it turned out to be you, old guy." With a hearty laugh, Old Master Yang walked over.
"Oh hey, you, old man Yang, are you not dead yet? Yo, your body is getting healthier and healthier." Old Geng laughed rarely and gave a warm hug to old man Yang who came up to him.
The eyes of the group of people almost popped out of their heads.
Are these two still the leading figures in the domestic antique collection world? How come they are just like children?
"Oh, Brother Geng, your health is not good. You are far from what I can compare to." Grandpa Yang let go of Brother Geng and said with a smile.
"Alas, I really can't be stubborn. I can refuse anything except this old man. I am already 97 years old this year. I will be over 100 in another three years. I can still move now, so I am grateful to my ancestors for their blessing. Brother Yang, your health is getting better and better. How do you take care of it?"
Old Master Yang glanced at Yang Jing with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Come on, Brother Geng, let's go into the house and talk. I'll tell you a way to regain youth..."
The two old men, whose combined age was 190, supported each other and slowly walked into the house. Some of the concierges standing at the door also showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Whether it is Mr. Yang or Mr. Geng, they are both absolute leaders in the industry. There are only a handful of people in the whole of China who can be compared with them.
The fact that both Mr. Geng and Mr. Yang were able to come here in person to watch the ceremony is enough to show how much importance these seniors attach to this ceremony.
In fact, not only Mr. Geng came, but also Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, Mr. Mu, Mr. Wang and other older generation predecessors from the Palace Museum all came.
These masters of the older generation are almost the most senior group of people in this circle. It is an extremely rare event that they can appear at this ceremony at the same time.
With these seniors coming out, the guests who were of the same generation as Mr. Liu were also secretly shocked. These seniors of the older generation were rarely seen at ordinary times, and now they gathered here, which was enough to prove that these seniors attached great importance to this apprenticeship ceremony.
Many young people who came to watch the ceremony with their master looked at Yang Jing with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
How could this kid have such merits? How could he have four top masters accept him as a disciple? And how could he have so many senior masters who were rarely seen come to watch the ceremony? This was simply unreasonable!
However, no matter how envious and jealous they were, important guests continued to come to the villa one after another. When the auspicious time was approaching, even the huge hall of the villa could not accommodate so many people, and many younger disciples had to stand in the courtyard outside the villa.
There is no other way. Today, there are as many as seven masters of the older generation who came to watch the ceremony. Including Master Yang who presided over today's disciple-accepting ceremony, almost all the top masters of the older generation in the industry are here.
Those masters in their sixties and seventies were all nephews or even younger in front of these older masters, so they could only stand and watch. As for the disciples of these masters, being able to stand in the courtyard was enough for them to brag about for several years...
Ten eighteen in the morning, the auspicious time has arrived.
As the host of today's disciple-taking ceremony, Mr. Yang is a top figure in the circle in terms of seniority and reputation, so he can naturally hold the fort.
"Dear guests, welcome to watch the ceremony of Mr. Liu Zhenyao, Mr. Xiao Zhenguo, Mr. Guo Qingmao and Mr. Cai Yi accepting disciples together. After a long period of observation, the four gentlemen unanimously decided to accept Yang Jing from Tianqu City, Shandong Province as their personal disciple..."
