When the guests who were drinking and eating in the hall heard that Mr. Lu wanted to leave his calligraphy on the spot, they all gathered around him.
Mr. Lu was not only engaged in administrative management in the past, his attainments in calligraphy and painting were also at the pinnacle.
Just like Mr. Xiao is proficient in cursive script, Mr. Lu's running script is also recognized as a masterpiece in the industry. He is also a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association!
The hotel waiter swiftly brought up a desk, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared in a very short time.
Seeing that everything was ready, Mr. Lu grabbed the wine cup and drank a sip. Then he walked to the desk with a smile, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, held his breath, paused for a few seconds, and then started writing on the rice paper.
Even though the old man is 90 years old, he doesn't look like an octogenarian at all. Instead, he looks more like a general charging into battle.
The old man wrote as if possessed by god, his pen moved like a dragon, and his power penetrated the back of the paper. In less than half a minute, the old man wrote eight words in one go.
"The harp and the zither are in harmony, and the lovebirds and the phoenixes are in harmony."
After the old man paid the bill and stamped it with the seal he carried with him, the whole hall suddenly erupted in warm applause.
The old man's calligraphy is naturally excellent. Although Mr. Lu is 90 years old, his health is the best among all the older masters present. If Yang Jing had not taken care of Mr. Yang's health before, even Mr. Yang would not be as good as Mr. Lu.
If you keep in good health, the charm contained between the lines will be full.
Although Mr. Lu's calligraphy is running script, it is more inclined to cursive script.
Although these eight characters are few in number, the strokes fully demonstrate the true meaning of running script, which is like flowing clouds and running water, with slenderness and grace, neither regular nor cursive, and neither square nor round. Even though Yang Jing does not know much about calligraphy, he can tell at a glance that this piece of calligraphy is definitely a work of extremely high level.
Not to mention those knowledgeable guests at the ceremony, even Mr. Yang and Mr. Geng showed expectant looks on their faces after seeing the calligraphy, and they wished they could hold the calligraphy in their arms.
If Master Lu had not clearly written "To my friends Yang Jing and Princess Bai Yu" in his signature, perhaps these masters of the older generation would have really lost face and taken the calligraphy away...
Even if Mr. Lu's calligraphy is not as good as Mr. Qi Gong's, it is definitely not far behind. If this calligraphy is placed in the home of ordinary people, it can be regarded as a family heirloom.
After the ink dried, Yang Jing carefully put the calligraphy away.
When you get married, you can hang this calligraphy in the living room of your home, together with the calligraphy by Mr. Qi Gong given by your second master at the apprenticeship ceremony, so that they complement each other.
The wine was good, the food was delicious, and while eating, one could see the calligraphy of a famous calligrapher himself. This lunch was truly a splendid feast.
After the lunch ended and all the guests had left, it was already close to three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang's father and mother did not stay. The couple wanted to visit Yang Jing's second uncle. Gege also wanted to meet the second uncle that Yang Jing often mentioned to her, so she went with Yang's father and mother.
Yang Jing stayed, and of course, Yang Jing's four masters also stayed with him.
The reason why he kept the four masters was simply that Yang Jing wanted to help them regulate their health.
Although the time he had interacted with the four masters was not long, Yang Jing could clearly feel the four masters' true feelings towards him. That kind of hidden affection was really like how parents treat their children.
With such a good master, Yang Jing had no reason not to help them recuperate. After today's apprenticeship ceremony, Yang Jing had four more important relatives in his life.
When the four masters heard that their disciples wanted to treat their bodies, they were all confused. Master Yang, who also stayed behind, had a mysterious smile on his face. The four masters asked Master Yang about it, but he didn't answer and just kept saying "there will be a surprise".
Then, with the four masters looking a little confused, Yang Jing first completed the physical conditioning for Master Liu.
When they saw Yang Jing finished the acupuncture with sweat all over his face, Master Liu suddenly looked 20 years younger, and the other three masters almost popped their eyes out. Especially after Master Liu had a good bath and washed off the stinky smell, Master Xiao and the other three finally realized that their disciple had a trick up his sleeve.
After conditioning the four masters, it was already time for dinner.
Each of these four masters seemed to be twenty years younger. Although there was no major change in their appearance, they were the ones who were most aware of the changes in their bodies.
Fortunately, the four masters usually pay great attention to maintenance, and their physical condition is good. Yang Jing treated the four of them in succession without consuming much energy, but he completely eliminated all the hidden diseases in their bodies.
The four masters were all happy to see the back teeth, but they also knew that the apprentice's skill could not be exposed. Apart from anything else, just looking at the apprentice's pale face, you can tell how much this method of conditioning the body consumes Yang Jing's energy.
When Yang Jing said that he learned this method of conditioning the body from an old Taoist priest when he was studying in England, and that this method of conditioning the body was purely at the expense of oneself for the benefit of others, and that after each conditioning he had to rest for at least a week before he could recover, the four masters immediately decided that this method must not be passed on to others.
For people of their age, old wine, money, old things, etc. are not that important. Only the changes in their bodies and their offspring are what they care about the most. Although their disciples have mastered such a method that is similar to the "immortal technique" in mythological novels, this method is really harmful to the disciples' bodies.
