Liu Lao's villa is very large, after all, the entire villa area was developed by his old man's eldest son, and this villa that honors Lao Tzu is naturally extraordinarily large.
There is a special parking lot in the whole villa area, which is not far from Liu Lao's villa, and it is only a few minutes' walk to here.
A lot of concierges in their fifties and seventies park their cars in the parking lot and come on foot, but there are a few special people who come directly by car.
For example, the old man in front of him was trembling and was helped off the car.
As soon as they saw this old man, Liu Lao, the four of them, and Yang Jing all greeted him respectfully.
"Hello Geng, please go on a trip yourself, we really don't want to go."
As a landlord and one of the protagonists today, Liu Lao naturally had to speak first.
"Hehe, to see the four of you accept apprentices together, this is also the wish of our old fellows.
Seeing that the four of you are buried up to your necks, and you haven't been able to find a good apprentice, a few of us old guys are also anxious for you.
Geng Lao, who got out of the car, said with a smile.
Geng Lao is ninety-six years old this year, he is the oldest old expert in the Palace Museum, and he is also the top porcelain master in China.
Geng Lao looked at Yang Jing who was standing aside, smiled and said to Liu Lao and the four of them: "This kid is good, I talked to Lao Yang on the phone, and I know a little bit about this kid's situation."
Blessed are you, the four of you. ” As he spoke, Geng Lao beckoned to Yang Jing, Yang Jing immediately took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "Hello Grandpa Geng." ” "Well, the young man is good, you must study hard with the four masters in the future, and don't live up to the expectations of your four masters."
"Well, Grandpa Geng, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the mastery of the four masters."
"Haha, Lao Geng, are you here too?
I just heard that you were here, and I didn't believe it, so I came out to take a look, and sure enough, it was you, an old guy.
With a hearty laugh, Old Man Yang walked over.
"Hey, you're not dead yet?
Yo Yo Yo, this body is getting more and more healthy.
Geng Lao laughed rarely, and gave a warm hug to Old Man Yang who came to him.
The eyes of the group almost popped out.
Are these two still Taishan Beidou in the domestic antique collecting industry?
How the same as a child.
"Oh, Brother Geng, your body is not good, but it is far from me."
Old Man Yang let go of Geng Lao and said with a smile.
"Alas, this is really tough, you can disobey anything, but this old man, you can't accept it!
I'm 97 years old this year, and I'll be over 100 in three years, and now I can still move, and I'm already grateful to my ancestors for their blessing.
But Brother Yang, your body is getting better and better, how do you recuperate?
” Old Man Yang glanced at Yang Jing with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, Brother Geng, let's go into the house and say, I'll tell you a way to rejuvenate."
The two old men, who were one hundred and nine years old, walked slowly towards the house with each other, and some of the concierges standing at the door also showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Whether it is Yang Lao or Geng Lao, it is the absolute Taishan Beidou in the industry, and those who can compare with him are only two slaps in the entire Huaxia several times.
Elder Geng and Elder Yang were able to come here to watch the ceremony in person, which is enough to show that these old-timers attach great importance to this ceremony.
In fact, not only Geng Lao came, but also the older generation of predecessors such as Lu Lao, Li Lao, Mu Lao, and Wang Lao from the Palace Museum, all came.
These masters of the older generation are almost the largest group of people in this circle, and it is also an extremely rare event for them to appear at this ceremony at the same time.
With these old-timers coming forward, those guests who were the same generation as Liu Lao were also secretly shocked.
These seniors of the older generation are usually rare to see, but now they are gathered here, which is enough to prove that these seniors attach great importance to this apprenticeship ceremony.
Many young people who came to watch the ceremony with Master also had all kinds of envy and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Yang Jing.
What can this kid do?
Can four top masters accept apprentices together?
Can you still let so many old-timers who are rarely seen come to watch the ceremony in person?
This is simply unreasonable!
However, no matter how envious and jealous they were, one after another heavyweight guests still came to this villa, and when it was almost auspicious, the huge villa hall could not even hold so many people, and many disciples of the younger generation had to stand in the courtyard outside the villa.
There is no way, there are as many as seven masters of the older generation who came to the scene to watch the ceremony today, counting Yang Lao, who presided over today's apprenticeship ceremony, almost all of the top masters of the older generation in the industry have arrived.
Those masters who are sixty or seventy years old, in front of these masters of the older generation, are all nephews or even lower generations, so in front of these masters, they can only stand and watch the ceremony.
As for the disciples of these masters, being able to stand in the courtyard was enough for them to go back and brag about it for several years At 10:18 a.m., the auspicious time arrived.

As the host of today's apprenticeship ceremony, Mr.
Yang is a top figure in the circle in terms of seniority and fame, and he naturally holds his foot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to watch the ceremony of Mr.
Liu Zhenyao, Mr.
Xiao Zhenguo, Mr.
Guo Qingmao and Mr.
Cai Yi jointly accepting apprentices.
After a long period of investigation, the four gentlemen unanimously decided to jointly accept Yang Jing from Tianqu City, Lu Province as their personal disciple."
Old Man Yang is a person who has experienced this kind of apprenticeship ceremony countless times, and he is naturally handy for presiding over this kind of ceremony.
Moreover, Old Man Yang spoke with a lot of anger today, not like a ninety-three-year-old man, and the guests who watched the ceremony were secretly amazed.
After a series of introductions, Mr.
Yang said: "Please stand up, be quiet, please have a portrait of the ancestor and worship the ancestor!"
Mr.
Liu, Xiao, Guo and Cai offered incense to the grandfather, and Yang Jing kowtowed three times in front of the portrait of the grandfather. ” The eight old-timers who were originally sitting on the chairs at the scene all stood up tremblingly, and several masters with limited mobility also stood up with the support of their juniors.
Two old men who were about the same age as Cai Yi walked out of the side hall with a somewhat yellowed portrait and offered this portrait in the middle of the incense case.
This portrait is Fan Li's portrait.
The antique industry in China respects Fan Li as the ancestor.
This portrait is said to have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Lao, Xiao Lao, Guo Lao and Cai Yi held three incense sticks, walked to the portrait of the ancestor together, held the incense above their heads, bowed three times together, and said in unison: "Today's disciples Liu Zhenyao, Xiao Zhenguo, Guo Qingmao, Cai Yi, adhering to the ancestral teachings, accept the disciple Yang Jing in front of the ancestor under the door, and hope that the ancestor will bless the disciples of the four of me in the future, and carry forward the skills inherited by the ancestors!"
” The crowd of spectators in the hall was silent.
After the four of them inserted the incense into the incense burner and retreated, Old Man Yang shouted: "Yang Jing stepped forward, bowed three times in front of the ancestor, and worshiped the ancestor!"
” Yang Jing walked up in an orderly manner, knelt on the futon in front of the incense case, and kowtowed respectfully three times.
After kowtowing, Yang Jing raised his head and said aloud in front of the portrait of the ancestor master: "Today's disciple Yang Jing is valued by the four masters, and is accepted by the four masters, and the disciples will inevitably listen to the teachings of the four masters with an open mind in the days to come, learn the skills taught by the four masters, and learn and carry forward the skills of the four masters."
At the same time, I have become a disciple of the four masters today, and I will serve the four masters carefully in the future, and treat them as my own father!
” After kowtowing and expressing one's intentions, the first item of the apprenticeship ceremony, that is, the worship of the ancestor master, is completed.
"Next, I invite Mr.
Liu, Xiao, Guo, and Cai to take a seat, and the disciple Yang Jing prostrates three times."
Accompanied by Old Man Yang's angry voice, the four masters who had just retired walked up in turn, and sat down on the four Taishi chairs on the right side of the incense case, Yang Jing stepped forward again, knelt down on the futon, stood up and said: "Disciple Yang Jing is valued by the four masters and accepted as a disciple, and in the future, the disciples will not disappoint the expectations of the four masters, learn the skills of the four masters, serve the four masters well, and treat the four masters as their own fathers!"
” After speaking, Yang Jing kowtowed three times to the four masters who were sitting on the Taishi chair safely, and the four masters suddenly showed irrepressible smiles on their faces.
"The disciple gave tea to the four masters!"
After Yang Jing stood up, Old Man Yang shouted again.
Yang Jing held the teacup and respectfully toasted a glass of wine to the four masters in turn, which made the faces of the four masters bloom with joy.
At this time, the apprenticeship or apprenticeship ceremony is over, but as the master, Liu Lao and the four of them each have to give a gift to the newly accepted disciple Yang Jing at this ceremony.
"Come, Xiaojing, this little gift for you.
The teacher knows that you still have your own career, so this high-ice jade Pixiu will be given to you.
This Pixiu was carved for me by Jiang Bin's father more than 30 years ago."
"Master, this, this is too precious, and this is left to you by Jiang Lao, it has important commemorative significance" Yang Jing saw this palm-sized Pixiu ornament, and knew that it was worth a lot.
Although the material is only boxwood green high ice jade, this carving is from a master-level figure.
When Jiang Bin's old man was alive, he was the top jade carving master in China, and he was just one line away from the realm of grandmasters.
"Hehe, I'll take it when I give it to you, this is a piece of Master's heart."
Liu Lao said with a smile, but his tone was full of determination.
"Oh, okay, then the disciple will thank you for the gift from your old man, Master."
Yang Jing carefully took this Pixiu and bowed respectfully to Liu Lao
