The sun is shining outside the window, and the business in the store is getting better and better. In addition to the uninterrupted individual customers, some restaurants will come to pick up the reserved braised meat from time to time. These restaurants have a large demand, and Li Zhang and his braised meat are limited, and now there is a shortage of supply. For this reason, Li Zhang is also planning to rent another place, hire a few friends to work, and expand the production.

Li Zhang was in charge of accounts. He was accustomed to using Arabic numerals and tables. It was too simple to record the bill flow of such a small shop, so he had nothing to do now, so he secretly took out something in his arms and looked at it carefully.

This is a small plate, to be precise, a white porcelain plate, which is almost the same as the plate that served seasonings when eating hot pot in later generations. However, on the back of the plate, there is a red seal. Li Zhang could barely recognize that the seal contains four seal characters, but the seal is very special. It is not large seal or small seal, but a curved seal script. Each stroke looks like a long bug. Li Zhang couldn't see what these four characters were after reading for a long time?

Seals were very rare in Li Zhang's era. Except for groups like companies and government agencies, they rarely used seals. In his previous life, Li Zhang had almost never been exposed to seals, except for the official seals of the company. Moreover, the seal fonts on porcelain plates were so rare, so it was normal that he could not recognize them.

"What is this?" Li Zhang frowned and looked at the porcelain plate in his hand and said to himself. This porcelain plate was taken from the table when he was having dinner with Mrs. Liu last night because he wanted to find out Mrs. Liu's identity, but the other party was extremely strict. The two chatted for a long time and Li Zhang couldn't ask any useful information.

Lu Wu and Li Yonghe must have known it, but they were mysterious and unwilling to tell Li Zhang. Fortunately, Li Zhang found that the bowls and plates he used were very exquisite and were definitely not ordinary porcelain. As far as Li Zhang knew, some princes and nobles would customize some special porcelain from porcelain kilns, with special marks in their mansions on them, one for preventing theft, and the other for demonstrating their identity, and the utensils used were different from ordinary families.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhang secretly looked at it while eating and found that several porcelains had such special seals under them. So after dinner, he secretly took a small plate and hid it in his arms, in order to find out Mrs. Liu's identity from the seal behind the plate.

Of course, it is definitely wrong to steal things. However, in order to find out Mrs. Liu's identity, Li Zhang didn't care about these subtitles. However, although the plate was taken back, he didn't recognize the words on the seal, which made him scratch his head. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to find someone to help him see what was written on the seal?

However, Li Zhang was too scheming and did not dare to take out the plate and let someone look at it. Instead, he took out the paper and pen to trace the words on the seal, and then took apart and found a few more people. Each person only reads one word so that the news would not be leaked.

Li Zhang is a person with strong execution ability. He immediately did it when he thought about it. However, when he was drawing it, he realized that these words were so difficult to determine. Even if he followed them, he wrote them wrong many times. Finally, he finally wrote each word again and then cut the paper and put it in his arms.

"Douzi, I'll go out!" Li Zhang immediately greeted Douzi and asked him to take care of the store, and then left the store.

Li Zhang and his friends were located in Wuqi Street. On the west side of this street, there is a Wuqi Temple. Wuqi was a famous military strategist, politician and reformer in the early Warring States Period, and was also a representative figure of military strategists. He wrote forty-eight chapters of "The Art of War in Wuzi". Therefore, during the Tang Dynasty, Wuqi was one of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple. Later, when Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, martial arts was opened, and "The Art of War" and "The Art of War" and "The Art of War" of Sun Tzu, "The Art of War" and "The Six Strategies" were compiled into the seven books of martial arts, becoming textbooks in martial arts and also a must-read military book for military generals in later generations.

Wu Qi is from Heze, Shandong. Heze and Kaifeng were originally close to each other. The jurisdiction of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty was extremely large, and Wu Qi's hometown was also considered to be the scope of Kaifeng, so Wu Qi Temple is not uncommon. The Wu Qi Temple in Kaifeng City is the largest one.

Li Zhang stepped in front of Wuqi Temple. The Wuqi Temple was incense that was prosperous and it was said to be able to keep people safe. The peace talisman in the temple was very popular. Many good men and women often asked for a peace talisman for their families who were out. For example, Li Zhang had a talisman that Li Er asked for for him a few days ago. It was said that he spent ten big money. Although Li Zhang did not believe in this thing, he still wore it on his neck.

However, Li Zhang did not come here to seek peace. In front of the gate of Wuqi Temple, there was a small square, which gathered many small vendors, such as cloth sellers, medicine sellers, needles and threads, etc. In this way, shouts in the entire square one after another, and the pedestrians coming and going, the entire square looked very lively.

After Li Zhang arrived at the square, he quickly found a target. He saw a table under a large mulberry tree in the square, and behind the table was a gray-haired old scholar sitting. On the table in front of him were pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Li Zhang was already familiar with the life of the Song Dynasty and knew that this old man was the legendary writer of letters.

There are often such scenes in later TV dramas. In order to support his family, an unsuccessful scholar had to find an intersection to pick up a banner that "writes letters" to earn some money. However, Li Zhang always felt that the banner was a bit redundant, because those who knew the words would definitely not ask someone to write letters, let alone those who didn't know the words. Now that he came to the Song Dynasty, he realized that his guess was indeed correct, and those who wrote letters on their behalf did not do anything extra.

Li Zhang walked to the stall where he wrote letters and sat down. When the old man behind saw that the business was coming, he asked happily: "What kind of letter do you want to write?"

"I don't write a letter, I just don't know a word and want to ask for advice!" Li Zhang said with a smile, and said as he took out a piece of paper with a word written on it from his arms and placed it in front of the other side, and put three copper coins on it.

The old man was a little unhappy when he heard that Li Zhang did not write a letter, but when he saw three copper coins, he immediately showed a bright smile. He took the paper with words and looked carefully, then smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Brother, you really ask the right person. Most people really don't know this kind of word."

"Old sir, I recognize this as a seal script, but I really can't tell what the word it is." Li Zhang was shocked when he heard the other party's words and said again.

"Yes, this is indeed a seal script. It seems that the guy has also read books!" When he heard that Li Zhang could recognize that this was a seal script, the old man looked at him in surprise and said, "He thought the other party was an illiterate person again, but now it seems that he underestimated Li Zhang.

"Then what is this?" Li Zhang couldn't help asking again when he saw that the other party kept keeping his mouth shut.

"This is a character Shang, and this type of seal script is called Jiudie Seal. It is a very special seal script. It was mainly used on official seals at the beginning. Of course, there are many private seals now. The number of folds of each character depends on the traditional and simple strokes. There are five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten stacks..."

The old man was obviously an old peddler. He finally caught a person who could discuss knowledge with him, but he kept talking nonsense. Li Zhang didn't plan to learn these things, and he already knew that this was the word "shang", so he stood up and interrupted before the other party finished speaking, "Thank you, Mr., for your advice, I'll say goodbye!"

"Oh, don't hurry to leave, or I'll return the money to you, listen to me!" The old man was just talking excitedly, and when he saw Li Zhang leaving, he stood up and shouted, but Li Zhang didn't have time to listen to his lectures, but instead walked faster. In the end, the old man sighed, probably to sigh that people in this world do not have the desire to learn.

Next, Li Zhang walked around the square. Although only the old scholar wrote the letter, there were many fortune tellers and characters. After all, there were Taoist temples next to him. Most of these people were deceiving people, but there were also a few who were real and knowledgeable, so Li Zhang quickly recognized the four characters.

"Shang, Yu, Food, Bureau." Li Zhang silently recited the four words he got in his mind, but the order was wrong. Reading it in the order of the seal should be "Shang Shi Bureau Yu".

"Shangshi Bureau? What is this place? As for Yu..." When Li Zhang thought of the word "Yu", he was shocked. Even though he didn't know much about ancient times, he also knew that the word Yu was almost exclusively for the emperor, such as imperial system, imperial doctor, imperial street, etc., and this Yu is likely to mean imperial system.

"Shangshi Bureau? Shangshi Bureau?" Li Zhang said this name while walking. He always felt that the name was a little familiar. Finally, when he returned to the store, he suddenly remembered, isn't this Shangshi Bureau the one who is responsible for the diet in the palace in the palace?

"If I remember correctly, the current queen seems to be the most legendary queen of the Song Dynasty, Liu E. Mrs. Liu's surname is Liu. This is a coincidence, right?" After the final shock, Li Zhang quickly calmed down and analyzed again. Although he was not sure yet, the lady Liu he saw yesterday was probably Liu E, which explains why Jinshan was so afraid of Lu Wu.
