Li Qingzhi wrote two pieces of calligraphy for the head of the Shen family, one of which was "Viewing the Sea" written by a predecessor.
“The movement of the sun and the moon seems to be coming out of it; the shining stars seem to be coming out of it…” You can never go wrong if you give someone a poem like this.
In addition, he also wrote a large calligraphy: "Heaven rewards hard work, humanity rewards kindness, and business rewards trust."
Shen Jiajia mainly likes this large calligraphy, and he is not afraid of King Jin, so he can hang it in the study or the place where guests are received.
He wrote these two pieces of calligraphy very quickly and it didn't take him much time. It was a quick way for him to earn the hundred taels of silver.
For the Patriarch of the Shen family, it shouldn't be a loss. After all, the Patriarch of the Shen family originally only wanted one piece of calligraphy, but now he gave him two.
Li Qingzhi wrote these two pieces of calligraphy very carefully, and he admired them after he finished writing them.
His left-handed handwriting is very suitable for writing grand poems. If he used his right-handed handwriting to write "Viewing the Sea", the effect would definitely not be so good.
After the two pieces of calligraphy dried, Li Qingzhi folded them, sealed them, and sent them to Jueweizhai.
It is already late October, the tenth month in the lunar calendar, and the weather is already very cold.
Chang Zhan no longer had to worry about the dishes he sent to Governor Zhang going bad due to the hot weather, so he began to find ways to cook some fresh food and rarely sent Jueweizhai's braised food.
That day, he followed Li Qingzhi's example and made dumplings specifically for Governor Zhang.
So, Governor Zhang opened the food box and saw thirty raw dumplings neatly arranged.
The food delivered today needs to be cooked before it can be eaten.
Governor Zhang asked Steward Li to cook the dumplings and found that the second layer was filled with pickles and chili sauce, and at the bottom, there were still the things Li Qingzhi had given him.
Inside there was a letter from Li Qingzhi, stating that Li Qingzhi was planning to open a school. In addition, there were two pieces of calligraphy asking him to pass on to the head of the Shen family.
After seeing the two pieces of calligraphy written by Li Qingzhi, Governor Zhang had the urge to write a letter to Li Qingzhi immediately and ask Li Qingzhi to write two pieces for him as well.
After writing "Records of Fleeing from Famine" and "Strategies for Flood Control", Li Qingzhi's handwriting improved a little.
After reading the letter, Governor Zhang burned it directly.
He kept all of Li Qingzhi's manuscripts, but burned his letters after reading them to prevent others from seeing them and guessing Li Qingzhi's identity.
On the other side, Butler Li took the dumplings to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, a servant who had been hired not long ago began to ask him about Governor Zhang.
Upon learning that Butler Li had gone to see Governor Zhang just now because Jueweizhai had sent today's dishes, this man looked disappointed.
He had been in Zhang's house for some time, but had not found out any news.
Well, it’s not like I didn’t find out anything—Governor Zhang has been very close to the Shen family recently…
That afternoon, he saw Governor Zhang call his confidant again and ask him to deliver something to the Shen family.
The Shen family is Lu Qingxi's lackeys, and no one knows what Governor Zhang is conspiring with them!
This person secretly spread the news.
Butler Li saw everything and sighed.
There are really all kinds of people in this mansion now!
Fortunately, Lord Zhang has several trusted confidants around him.
The Shen family has been quite lively lately.
In the past, when the Shen family’s fleet went to the capital, it was always led by the Shen family’s steward.
Sometimes the young master of the Shen family would follow, but he would usually just learn silently from the Shen family's steward.
