Chapter 19 2. Calligraphy Awards Ceremony

In this calligraphy exhibition, Linzi received an encouragement award, and the work exhibited in the art museum was written on rice paper half the size of a tatami mat. Start with caution and end with respect. After hearing Jiu Mu's interpretation, Rinko explained: This must be the case for everything! Although what she said was reasonable, in the eyes of Jiu Mu as a man, it was too serious and too reserved.He wanted to express his thoughts, but thought that perhaps this was the pillar supporting Rinko's life and conduct, so he could only nod in agreement. This calligraphy exhibition has a Grand Award and an Excellent Award, followed by an Encouragement Award. A total of three people were selected.

You must come to the awards ceremony. He came according to Rinko's order, but what Jiumu was worried about was whether her husband would come. It is estimated that Rinko would not call both men to the same venue. The ceremony started at five o'clock as originally planned. A total of nearly 200 people attended the ceremony, including calligraphers and related persons.First, representatives of the sponsoring newspapers and calligraphers delivered speeches.Only then did Jiumu know that this is an exhibition with a long history and a national scale, which has been held for nearly 30 sessions so far.

After the sponsor gave a speech, the awards were presented, and the winners were named in order from the best award, and the winners came to the stage to receive the certificates and prizes in order.Every winner looked like a calligrapher, from a grand old man in a haori kimono to a young lady, one by one came to the stage to accept the award, and the audience gave warm applause every time. Rinko's Encouragement Award was presented later, and she stood side by side with the two other recipients on the stage.One is a man in his fifties, and the other is an older woman. Sandwiched between the two, Rinko, who is in her prime, is particularly eye-catching.

When the winners were called by name, they stepped up to accept the prize in turn, and Rinko was the second. For a moment, the applause in the venue seemed to be more enthusiastic than ever. Seeing Rinko bowing his head humbly to receive the award, Jiumu felt proud. The spectators seemed to pay special attention to Rinko. She was pale because of nervousness, which was more in line with the lavender kimono, and there was a seductive reserve hidden in the gorgeousness. I don't know what the woman thinks, but most men look at Rinko on the stage, and they must think of her naked beauty after taking off the kimono from her appearance.

But none of them knew what Rinko actually looked like.What kind of plump breasts Rinko has, what kind of flower cores are hidden in her body, and how charming she is when the two of them are alone, all these are known only to Jiumu. This sense of entitlement may be the same as the secret pleasure of a man who has a beautiful star, a geisha as a wife, and a mistress. Rinko didn't know that Hisaki was playing with this idea, and walked off the stage amid the warm applause again.After the judging and commenting, the ceremony ended. Then there was a reception scheduled to be held in the next hall, and everyone began to leave their seats.

Jiu Mu was hesitating whether to participate, Rinko came over and said: Just stay for a while! How long will it take? You can slip away in thirty or forty minutes. Then I'll go first and wait for you in the coffee shop on the first floor. Rinko nodded, and returned to the group of calligraphers. The reception venue was more spacious than the award presentation venue, with nearly 300 guests gathered.Here, too, the host will give a speech first, and then the master-level old man will toast and then turn into a sincere talk. Hisaki sat at the table near the entrance, drinking beer and looking around the venue.Rinko sat inside near the main table, chatting with the elderly man.

In addition to the masters, ordinary calligraphers and women accounted for the vast majority, and Rinko's appearance was particularly eye-catching.She is neither tall nor particularly beautiful, but her demeanor exudes the beauty of a woman in her prime. It seemed that all the participants felt this, many men surrounded Rinko and greeted her with smiles. Jiu Mu didn't know it in the past, but now he understands that Rinko may be a young star in this world.He was thinking about it when someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. You are here! Looking back, it was Yichuan. It was she who asked me to come and see.

I didn't plan to come, I just rushed over to take a look after the work was done ahead of schedule. As Uikawa spoke, his eyes shifted to the venue. Seeing that she is also popular with other men, it doesn't feel bad! When I meet Yichuan at this time, it will be difficult to get away from Rinko later.But at this moment, he was feeling bored by himself, so it would be nice to have someone to talk to. Unexpectedly, there are so many women in the calligraphy club. There are also more paintings, but there are more calligraphy, which is indeed a problem when it comes to speaking Isn't it great to be colorful?

The words are good, but you see, the majority of the master masters are men, and women of all kinds, old and young, gather around them. What problems do you think will happen?Of course, young and beautiful are popular. Speaking of this, Yi Chuan hurriedly waved his hands and added: I didn't mean her!However, there are young and beautiful students among the disciples, and the master will inevitably treat them with gentleness and kindness. It is not so much the master's partiality, but it is out of the nature of a man. Hisaki nodded in agreement with his analysis, and Igawa lowered his voice:

There are also students selected by copying the teacher's handwriting according to the teacher's instruction. Are there schools or factions in calligraphy? Of course, the disciples of the sect with the master's powerful influence will naturally take advantage of it, otherwise they will suffer more. Isn't that similar to the world of Maidori and Ikebana? Basically no difference. Because of his previous work in a newspaper office, Yi Chuan is quite familiar with the world of calligraphy. But who would buy the calligraphy on display at the exhibition? Except for the works of famous masters and some teachers who have been specially reported by the media, the rest are almost all bought by disciples.

What is the use of disciples buying it? In this way, express your loyalty to the teacher! Thinking of Rinko living in this kind of world, I can't help but want to sympathize with her, and at the same time see the tough side of her character.
