Chapter 4680

Although Zhao Desan didn't have very deep attainments in calligraphy, he could distinguish between good and bad. Seeing this calligraphy of Secretary Jin, the brushwork was steady and the strokes were smooth. Looking carefully, he saw the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the rice paper, the strokes flowing together between the lines, like the continuous Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. At a glance, one could see it had years of skill.

Afraid that Secretary Jin would say he was perfunctory, Zhao Desan tasted it carefully over and over again for a long time before nodding and praising, "Good calligraphy, Secretary Jin. It's not that I'm boasting, but this calligraphy of yours, once brought out, is only higher and not lower than those famous masters outside."

"Little Zhao, when did you also learn to flatter?" Secretary Jin shook his head with a smile.
