Brother Feifei had just arrived in Shandong, knowing no one, with no choice but to compromise. The result of compromising was that he, along with his attendant Ah Shan, found themselves penniless, and the innkeeper, knowing Brother Feifei had no money, forced him to pay for his room. To pay for the room, Brother Feifei pawned his clothes, using the remaining two taels of silver to rent a private house.
To make a living, Brother Feifei sent Ah Shan out to work for others, while he himself went out to sell his calligraphy. Brother Feifei's calligraphy was quite good, earning him a considerable sum; and the money Ah Shan earned daily was enough to support the two of them, allowing them to get by. However, because of this, in the eyes of other scholars, Brother Feifei was just an ordinary student from afar. But Brother Feifei was very talented; scholars value those with potential for development, so they did not look down on Brother Feifei. Soon, Brother Feifei met a man named Zhou Yi.
