When Ji Zhao heard Shen Yao say that the pen was worth thousands of gold, a trace of regret arose in the depths of her heart.

If she had known that this brush was so precious, she would have kept it herself-

However, when she saw Shen Yao’s happy smile, she could not bring herself to take back the gift.

She could only return a sheepish smile.

During dinner, when they heard that Second Manager You of Hongxing Restaurant wanted to invite Ji Zhao over to be a braised food chef, everyone was stunned!

“Six taels of silver… We can buy a lot of delicious snacks…” Second Sister-in-law Shen quickly calculated and realized that six taels of silver was equivalent to a lot of snacks. She immediately beamed with joy. “Ah Tao, aren’t you too amazing?”

“Actually, I’m more inclined to make braised food myself and then do business with the restaurant.” Ji Zhao smiled and then revealed her plan.

“It’s not easy to do business.” Shen Dashan frowned and said, “Before doing business, you have to think carefully. Take your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law for example. They have been guarding the pastry shop for so many years and earn hard-earned money. Not only do they have to wake up early and stay up late, but they also have to deal with all kinds of customers.”

“Father, I understand.” Ji Zhao smiled faintly. “That’s why I plan to rely on Hongxing Restaurant to earn some money first. When I earn enough capital to do business, I’ll consider other things.”

“Ah Tao, since you already have a plan in mind, go ahead and do it!” Zhao Lanhua expressed her full support for Ji Zhao’s plan. “Mother believes in you. You will definitely do well!”

“Okay!”

With their support, Ji Zhao felt very confident!

After dinner, Shen Yao followed Ji Zhao back to the house.

“I want to try this brush. Will it disturb your rest?” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and asked softly.

“No.” Ji Zhao quickly shook her head. “But can I watch you write?”

Ji Zhao remembered that in the original work, Shen Yao’s calligraphy was especially good, but compared to his calligraphy, his paintings were more valuable! In the original work, after Shen Yao became the Grand Secretary, his paintings were priceless!

If only she could get one of Shen Yao’s paintings now!

“Of course,” Shen Yao agreed happily.

He walked to the desk, picked up a piece of white paper at random, and smoothed it out.

“Can you accompany me to the kitchen?” Shen Yao suddenly looked up at that exquisite and bright face and smiled gently.

“Why are you going to the kitchen?” Ji Zhao asked.

“Before writing, you have to open this brush,” Shen Yao explained softly with a smile.

“Open?”

The strange knowledge points increased again. Ji Zhao, who was shameless enough to ask, quickly understood the meaning of this word.

The so-called opening was to completely unscrew the tip of a brand new brush and soak it in warm water. It needed to be soaked for at least ten minutes before it was picked up.

After the ink on the inkstone was completely blended, Shen Yao lifted his wide sleeve and seriously wrote four words.

Ji Zhao looked up, her eyes filled with amazement.

“Your handwriting is really beautiful!”

Although Shen Yao had only written both their names briefly, Ji Zhao was still stunned.

Shen Yao’s words seemed to have perfectly fused the vigor and beauty into one.

The tip of the brush was a little sharp, but upon closer inspection, it felt very gentle.

Shen Yao silently curled his lips and drew a peach under the words ‘Ji Zhao’.

Although he had only drawn a few simple strokes, Ji Zhao felt that the peach was lifelike and extremely beautiful!
