Yueyao gazed at Mr. Yu Shan. Mr. Yu Shan was quite curious himself. Although he had guided Yueyao with seal script and knew her Plum Blossom Seal Script was good, he did not know that Yueyao could integrate the two: "Hmm, just let the teacher take a look." Yueyao felt a bit embarrassed, but she really liked the atmosphere now, without those chaotic matters outside, everyone just shared their accomplishments. Gu Zhe, being the youngest, could only observe. Hearing that Yueyao was going to write Plum Blossom Seal Script, he followed her to the studio. He had to see how miraculous his peer mentor was to warrant such exaggerated rumors outside. Before writing, Yueyao said: "Teacher, brother-in-law, the painting I gave to my cousin took three days to be completed. This time, time is rushed, I might not be able to write as many characters." She certainly couldn’t stay overnight at the Dong Residence, at most till the afternoon. Mr. Yu Shan thought for a moment and said: "Just write ’God rewards diligence’." After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Gu Zhe. Gu Zhe’s face turned eggplant purple instantly. Why look at him when having his mentor write? Doesn’t this indicate that he is very lazy? Yueyao was just about to start writing when Xiang Wei called her: "Miss, you should eat something first." Whether painting or writing, once Yueyao starts, she absolutely can’t stop until she’s done. Xiang Wei wanted to correct this but couldn’t; therefore, every time Yueyao was about to start working, she would let her eat something to pad her stomach. Mr. Yu Shan was aware of this quirk of Yueyao’s, and it was not just Yueyao, he had the same quirk himself. Yueyao ate half a plate of snacks, then picked up the brush to write. As soon as she picked up the brush, her aura changed completely. Xiang Wei was accustomed to it, and Mr. Yu Shan was not surprised, only Gu Jianzhang and his son watching found the transformed Yueyao amazing. The four characters didn’t seem much, but they were mentally taxing. Yueyao always sought to perfect her skills, and if she felt dissatisfied after writing, she would definitely tear it up and start over. It wasn’t until the early of the Shen hour that Yueyao completed four entire characters. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Mr. Yu Shan saw Yueyao frowned, a look of dissatisfaction on her face, and smiled: "Some things are not accomplished overnight." Mr. Yu Shan pointed out many of Yueyao’s shortcomings. Yueyao listened and noted attentively. After Mr. Yu Shan finished speaking, Yueyao asked Gu Jianzhang many things about poetry and raised quite a few accumulated questions. Gu Jianzhang patiently solved her doubts. Before the Shen hour ended, Xiang Wei urged: "Miss, it’s very late, you should return." Yueyao felt reluctant, but it was indeed very late, and it was not suitable to stay at the Dong Residence. Yueyao left with a box of books that Mr. Yu Shan gave her, feeling regretful. Mr. Yu Shan asked Gu Jianzhang to escort Yueyao out, then turned to his grandson and said: "After seeing your mentor today, what are your thoughts?" Gu Zhe looked down and said: "Worthy of the name." Though it’s said rumors are unreliable, today he trusted this one. Mr. Yu Shan pointed to the four characters on the table: "Six years ago, I told your mentor that her wrist was weak and powerless, unable to capture the essence of the Willow-body calligraphy style. But six years later, her writing is now firm and strong, do you know how she accomplished it?" Curiosity flashed in Gu Zhe’s eyes, and after listening to Mr. Yu Shan’s explanation of how Yueyao trained her hand strength, a surge of admiration arose in his heart. Mr. Yu Shan used Yueyao to sound a warning to his grandson: "Your mentor has never been complacent despite her current achievements. She gets up before dawn every day, spends time either practicing calligraphy or painting, and uses the remaining time to read and learn more. Your mentor’s achievements at a young age didn’t fall from the sky but were gained through a decade of consistent effort. Even now that she is famous across the world, she never slacks for a single day. Facing others’ praise, she always says she still has much to learn. Zhe’er, you are the same age as her, can you honestly say you can do the same?" Gu Zhe was very smart and was hoped to achieve much by Mr. Yu Shan. However, his temperament was unstable, becoming complacent after achieving a little, which worried Mr. Yu Shan, so he used Yueyao to teach Gu Zhe. Mr. Yu Shan said sternly: "Zhe’er, as you sow, so shall you reap, and that’s why I had your mentor write these four characters. You should hang it in your study to daily remind and warn yourself not to grow complacent, nor to be self-satisfied with minor achievements." Gu Zhe had personally watched Yueyao tear up a piece with unsatisfactory characters today. In Gu Zhe’s view, those characters were truly good enough, yet unfortunately, his mentor was never satisfied. Seeing that Gu Zhe truly understood and took it in, Mr. Yu Shan felt very comforted.
