Wang Zhe and Liu Cheng naturally welcomed Yang Jing's proposal with open arms.
Liu Cheng had asked for leave today to drive Wang Zhe around, but he didn't get anything done, so he was a little disappointed. After all, his friend didn't get the job done, and as an escort, and also a local boss in Tianqu, he felt embarrassed.
But there is really no way around it. Wang Zhe came to ask for calligraphy, not to purchase it. The master is unwilling to write for him. Not to mention Wang Zhe and Liu Chenggong, even if Wang Zhe and his leader came in person, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, they were able to meet Yang Jing, whom they hadn't seen for several years, and their mood immediately improved.
Yang Jing looked at his watch and said, "It's only four o'clock in the afternoon. We have dinner at six in the evening, so there are still two hours. Why don't we find a place to sit down, drink some tea, chat, and then go to the restaurant at that time?"
Wang Zhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Yang Zi, I want to take this opportunity to go to another master's house and see if I can get a calligraphy."
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment. "Azhe, is the task assigned to you by your leader really so difficult? Besides, I don't remember any famous calligraphy and painting masters in Tianqu! Azhe, which master did you ask for help? Tell me about it, maybe I know him."
"It's Master He Mingyang, a calligraphy and painting master who has emerged in Tianqu in recent years. He is quite famous in the province." Wang Zhe didn't say it, but Liu Cheng on the side gave the answer.
"He Mingyang?" Yang Jing was also stunned. "Is this person famous? How come I have never heard of him?"
Wang Zhe said unhappily, "Of course you haven't heard of him. Master He is a young master who has risen in recent years. He is only in his forties this year. He is known as the four new masters of Tianqu together with Sun Shengju, Du Mingzhe and Xu Jianmin. You have been wandering around outside these years and no one can see you. How do you know that there are four masters in the calligraphy and painting world of Tianqu?"
Liu Cheng also said, "Yes, these four masters have become quite famous in the province and the country recently. Although they are not as famous as the traditional masters, they are still the most popular figures among the new generation of calligraphy and painting masters."
Hearing what they said, Yang Jing was stunned again. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Azhe and Dachengzi, I just heard you say that there is a person named Xu Jianmin among the four new families?"
Wang Zhe nodded and said, "Well, Master Xu is also one of the four new masters of Tianqu. His calligraphy and seal carving are very famous in the circle. After Master He rejected me, I wanted to go to Master Xu to ask for a piece of calligraphy. Master Sun and Master Du are not in Tianqu now, so I plan to go to Master Xu to see if I can ask for a piece of calligraphy."
Hearing this, Yang Jing couldn't control himself anymore and burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Wang Zhe and Liu Cheng asked together.
"Haha..." Yang Jing laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. After finally controlling himself, he said, "Master Xu... Oh my God, how come I didn't know that he had become a master? I only knew that he was good at seal carving and stone carving. When did he become so good at calligraphy and painting?"
"Huh? Yangzi, do you know Master Xu?" Wang Zhe asked in surprise.
"It's OK. But I really don't think Master Xu's calligraphy and painting are that good. They can only be considered excellent, and there is still a long way to go before they are top-notch."
"I say Yang Zi, you can't say that. Master Xu has risen very fast in the past two years. He worshipped a real master in Yanjing two years ago, so his calligraphy and painting have improved very fast in the past two years. He is already very famous in the province and is also well-known nationwide. My leader has heard of his fame..."
As they were talking, the three men walked up to Liu Cheng's car. Liu Cheng was driving a bright red Buick Regal, which looked quite flashy.
Liu Cheng pressed the remote control to open the car door. After the three people got in, Yang Jing said, "Azhe, Xu Jianmin and my uncle are brothers. I have to call him uncle when I see him. If you go to him to ask for a calligraphy, I will go with you and I guarantee that you can get it. But..."
Wang Zhe and Liu Chengdu, who was leading Zaan, turned their heads in surprise. Yang Jing shook his head and continued, "But to be honest, Uncle Jianmin's calligraphy... well, how should I put it, it's barely up to par. If you want to leave a better impression on your leader, I suggest you don't go to him to ask for calligraphy. I'll take you to a real master, and he'll write a piece of calligraphy for you. I guarantee your leader will be very happy."
Hearing Yang Jing say this, Wang Zhe was really stunned. After a long while, he asked hesitantly: "Yangzi, tell me the name of that master, and I'll see if it's okay. Our leader specifically asked for Master He Mingyang's calligraphy. If his calligraphy is not available, the calligraphy of the other three masters will also be fine. If we change someone, I'm afraid the leader..."
Yang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Azhe, we are good brothers. I also know that it is very important for your work that you specially come to Tianqu to ask for calligraphy. Don't worry, I will help you with this matter! It's just a piece of calligraphy! How about this, we will go to my uncle Jianmin first and ask him to write a piece of calligraphy for you, and then I will take you to the real master and I will ask for a piece of calligraphy for you. When the time comes, you can bring two pieces of calligraphy back, and your leader can choose whichever one he wants. What do you think?"
Wang Zhe and Yang Jing have a special relationship. Although they are not childhood friends, the relationship they have developed over the six years of junior high school and high school is definitely special. The most important thing is that the relationship developed during middle school is very pure. Yang Jing truly regards Wang Zhe and Liu Cheng as brothers.
