In the eighteenth year of Kangxi, it was the twentieth year of the prince's business, and many goods bought back from foreign lands were sold one after another, and none of the merchants lost money. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, especially the pillar industry of the prince, has developed quite rapidly. Not only the Queen Mother's Restaurant, Splendid Restaurant, Yulong Commercial Bank, Yulong Cloth Village, Yulong Hot and Cold Drinks, Jinxiu Garment Shop, but also papermaking, brick kiln, snack street and other businesses are so hot. There is another one that was opposed by many people at first, but now there are many customers who come to smash the door at night, and this business is Yulong Photo Studio.

The photo studio has been closed twice, and both of them have been rumored to make a "yellow shop". The argument is that the souls of the people who were photographed were taken away by the thing called the camera, and many people were scared to take pictures. This matter is undoubtedly someone making trouble in secret, that is, jealousy.

Master said that business will take 20 to 30 years, which means that there are still 5 to 10 years to go. Although the sales volume in recent years is quite large, there are still a lot of goods in hand that have not been sold.

Yun'er often checked the "inventory" and found that there was still a lot of photo paper in it, so she told Wang Ye and Tian Liang that the photo studio must be opened, and from now on, preparations will be made for the stall.

A few days later, there was a newly opened shop not far from Yulong Commercial Bank on Zhengyang Street. Not big, not small, elegantly decorated. Unlike other businesses, the entire front is a glass window, and there are many photos hanging in the window, and there is an oversized baby photo. The photo shows two very cute and very beautiful children. This is what Baby Beibei took when she was in a foreign land. Enlarged pendulum here. Then next to this photo, there is a photo of baby Beibei growing up, who has grown up to be a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, but at first glance it is still those two little babies. This shows that photography does not degenerate spirits, isn't it proof that these two children have grown up safely?

There are a few words below the photo, one of the babies is written "taken in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi", and the one grown up is written under the eighteenth year of Kangxi. In other words, for 20 years, the two children have been growing up healthily. It is not said that it is the children of Prince Rui, but it gives people the feeling that they are the children of large families.

It was broken, and the people who came to take pictures almost removed the door panel of the photo studio. Especially teenagers and girls, it's crazy. Because the dragon and phoenix fetuses in the photo gave them endless reverie: if they could leave such a youthful and beautiful image, what would it be like to look at it in their later years?

So, youth photos, family photos, birthday photos, full moon photos, mother and son photos, husband and wife photos...... There are more and more names.

Above the door of the photo studio is a plaque with green characters on a black ground, with five words on it: Jade Dragon Photo Studio. Don't look at the door face, it's very attractive. The photos inside are often changed, and the good ones are placed here to play an advertising role, and the business will take a free photo. As a result, there are photos of various people in the glass windows:

Old man, old lady, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter. A large family smiled happily; There was also the young general, with a serious face under the helmet, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and no smile; The next one is a 100-day photo of a child, laughing so much that his saliva is dripping.

Running the photo studio here are Tian Liang's brother-in-law Gelong and his sister Ling'er, husband and wife, and of course, six pro-soldiers who maintain order.

Gelong and Ling'er can both take pictures, and their skills are very good. Because it is Tian Liang's key training, they are willing to study hard. Mom-and-pop shops are more convenient. The man was photographed by Gelong, and the woman and the child were photographed by Ling'er. Both people come forward for the family portrait, because the family portrait will have at least two people in attendance, and there will be an old lady and a young woman. There are also children, so it is inevitable to adjust their posture, and it is difficult for Gelong to step forward and do it. On the contrary, it is not easy for the bell to do it to men.

The price of photography is not the same, small size black and white photos are naturally cheaper, larger color photos are more expensive, especially family photos and baby photos are more difficult.

"Look, there's a photo on it, it's a family photo, a family of six, if this thing can stay, it's a little interesting to look at it when you're old."

"You go in and ask, how do you follow the law, how much is it?"

"Okay, wait a minute." The one called the pillar may be the young master's follower or a little servant, and the guy doesn't know. After entering a cup of tea, he came out: "Back to the young master, the shopkeeper inside said, take a picture once, three hundred yuan, and give three photos." The little one asked him how long this kind of photo could be kept, and the shopkeeper said: If the house is not burned, not stolen, not washed in the pocket, it is no problem to keep it for a hundred years. ”

"Three hundred Wen, it's not expensive, let's have one." With that, he entered the photo studio.

In just one stick of incense, the master and servant came out. Holding the photo in his hand, he looked at it carefully in the sun, and looked very happy: "This photo is like a portrait of me." Look at your stupid appearance, is your mouth so big and beautiful? ”

In this way, everyone who had watched the excitement before came up, and their eyes were all focused on the photo in the young master's hand, not to mention, it was exactly the same as the young master!

The master and servant left, leaving behind a large number of people who were stunned there.

The next day, the photo of the master and servant was enlarged and placed in the window. The young master sat on a Taishi chair, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand, and the servant stood beside the young master, grinning and smirking.

In order to learn this photographic technique, the photographer Gronn has practiced for a long time. How can Tian Liang have the kung fu to come out and take pictures of people? I taught this kung fu to my brother-in-law and sister.

Because it is difficult for people to understand and grasp such things as developers, they took disposable photos that were developed while being exposed, as well as the kind typed by printers. The master and servant took three pictures of them, and gave them three pictures, which were not expensive, but there were no negatives - digital cameras. Gelong thought that no one would come to take pictures for half a month, but the next morning there were two girls. They were the sister of the servant who came to take pictures yesterday and the maid of her sister, and when they saw the picture in their brother's hand, they couldn't wait for the dawn of the day. I came early in the morning to take pictures, and I had an idea with the pillar, and I waited until I was old to see that there was an aftertaste.

Women are different from men, they care very much about their appearance and dress, and they will deliberately modify themselves before taking pictures, comb their hair, put on makeup, and change their clothes. Everything is prepared here, not only combs, but also jewelry and clothing. This is what Yun'er saw and learned in a photo studio in a foreign land.

It took a long time for the two girls to dress up, and then they learned the posture of the elder brother and the pillar, and the young lady sat with a fan in her hand, and it was not good to look at the tea cup. The maid stood beside the young lady and stood straight.

"Lean in, get closer and look affectionate." Ling'er greeted very expertly, and the maid took a small half step towards the young lady.

"Can you two laugh?" This is what Ling'er said, and if it was Gelong who said it, it might be considered a flirtatious person.

The master and servant were a little nervous and smiled reluctantly. Ling'er said, "I shouted to you before taking pictures, and you told me 'eggplant'." Well, before the official photo was taken, the master and servant were laughing back and forth. What does photography have to do with eggplant?

Ling'er smiled: "When I say eggplant, the corners of my mouth are upturned, and there is a smile." ”

"Okay, okay, let's talk to the hostess about eggplant." Miss was very generous.

When they got the photo, they were surprised, and after a while, they took three photos, the first one was taken when the two of them were very serious, the second one was one of leaning back and laughing, and the third one was a photo of an eggplant. I like all three! I paid the money, took the photos and left. With a look of satisfaction and satisfaction, it seems that their photography level is okay. But there will be someone who will smash the sign soon, not a ruffian to smash it, it is a child who takes a one-year-old photo, he doesn't listen to the greeting at all, he sits there like a bearing, his whole body keeps twisting, and his head is tilted and he looks west.

The adults who brought the children must be their parents, very young and inexperienced, watching their sons at a loss.

Ling'er said, "It doesn't matter, I'll get his attention." Ling'er took a slush duck in her hand and pinched it, making a "squeak" sound. The little boy's attention was immediately attracted by the enamel duck, and in a moment it was taken down by Gelong. The boy stretched out his hand to ask for Ling'er's slush duck, and Ling'er said, "Look ahead, sit honestly for a while, and I'll give it to you." ”

Not to mention, this child actually understands words, and nodded, and the bell pinched the enamel duck again, and the child laughed loudly. This precious shot was taken. Then the boy asked Ling'er for a duck, and Ling'er gave him very happily, "Take another picture of the duck." Gelong really has the potential to be a photographer, and he was photographed when the child was holding a slush duck and giggling at his parents.

All three photos were a success! The child's parents thanked them for paying the money and wanted to return the vinyl duck in the child's arms to Ling'er, and the child cried "wow".

Ling'er hurriedly said, "Take it and take it to the family." ”

"How much, we'll give you the money, right?"

"It's good for the two of you to give fifty wen, this is a prop, specially teasing children. But the child cried like this, and I couldn't bear it. ”

The clever bell immediately had an idea to take pictures of her children and sell toys. I went back home and told my righteous sister Master Yun. Yun'er praised: "Smart! I'll look for a few toys when I go back, and you sell them while you take pictures. ”

"What if someone takes a fancy to the jewelry we prepared?"

"You can also sell jewelry, clothes, and cosmetics. You pay attention to see what the person who comes to take the picture needs. ”

Since then, the business of the photo studio has been getting better and better day by day, and the number of people who come to patronize it has also increased day by day, not only to take family photos, but also to take photos of husband and wife, sisters, brothers, and friends. It is estimated that there may be wedding photos, classmates' photos, and first photos in the future, and there are many excuses. Girls' and children's days can also be commemorated for children's washing, full moon, and 100 days...... There are too many excuses.

After the girl and the little boy took pictures, a young couple came on the third day, as if they had just gotten married, with the tenderness and sweetness of you and me. Seeing that they were dressed as wealthier in the family, the man said, "Three hundred wen for one copy, can we take three copies?" ”

"Yes, there is no limit to this, you spend money, we serve you," Gelon said. ”

"What if we're not satisfied?"

"We try to make you as happy as possible. But if you're deliberately finding fault and nitpicking, then it's no wonder we don't give you a picture. You have also seen that there have been three photos before the two of you, and it is now morning, and there must be more people who come to take pictures, that is, we are not short of your 300 or 600 wen. ”

"Young Master Ben is not nitpicking and deliberately finding fault. Take a picture. ”

"You haven't paid the money yet. If we're done taking a picture of you and you walk away, you're in trouble. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"We don't mean to make things difficult for our guests. That is to say, we are also a business, if we encounter a smashing store, do we sue the official? It's to say ugly things in the head. ”

"We're here to take pictures, not to find a flail, we won't smash the store, we won't find faults, come on. You two can take it as you say, but by the way, can you take it outside? ”

"You said to take pictures of the scenery around you? Yes, we're going to take pictures of the exterior in a few days, and since the two of us like to have exterior scenes, it's okay to take pictures. ”

The little couple was interested, and took one photo after another. Three parts had already passed, and after five parts had been completed, he stopped in high spirits and said, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a change of clothes." ”

"We have it in the store, and this lady picked her favorite look and wore it for a photoshoot. There is no charge for this. ”

"That's great, you're very good at business, and you're even ready to wear them? Baby, go pick out a few sets of what you like, and quickly put them on. ”

The young grandmother dressed up inside for a long time before she came out, wearing a sample dress made in the house, and holding a fan in her hand, with a shy face.

I took two more copies before I gave up. The young grandmother said: "Second master, the concubine likes the clothes she just wore very much, and she wants to buy them back." ”

"Isn't this okay? Who knows how many people have crossed it? ”

Gronn laughed: "What this gentleman said is interesting, our photo studio has only been open for a few days?" No one even thought to wear the clothes here when they came to take pictures, and your wife was the first one. ”

"Second master! People like it! "Gotta start selling cuteness.

"Good, good, pick two. We took seven photos, two taels of silver and one hundred wen, how much did two clothes cost? ”

"Each piece of clothing is ten taels, you can give twenty-two taels."

"Well, I'll see, fifteen, ten, fifteen, twenty. I'm sorry, but all the money under me is here, twenty-one, two, five hundred. ”

"That, that, it looks like we're at a loss, right? Our clothes were designed by the host's mother, and the silk and satin were all fine Hangzhou satin, which was bought from Hangzhou by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the decorations on the clothes......"

Ling'er said: "Don't worry about it, if you don't have three hundred Wen, it's less, who hasn't been caught off guard?" ”

"Thank you, thank you, lady, you're so reasonable."

The business of photo studios is becoming more and more prosperous, and many families come to take "family photos", as well as "husband and wife photos", "elderly photos", "baby photos", "colleagues photos", ...... so many names. Gelong and Ling'er slowly became too busy. Tian Liang selected a few young men who were literate, quick-witted, and good-tempered, both male and female, to apprentice with Gelong and Ling'er. The number of people who came to take pictures increased radially, and Tian Liang thought that the project would be difficult to carry out. As a result, there were no rumors that the soul was lost after the photo was taken, and the old man said that the manifestation of the loss of the soul was listlessness and wilting.

Later, it developed to the point where the eunuchs invited photographers to take pictures at the house, so that the female dependents were very safe. Although the cost is doubled, it is also in your own house, so there is no danger. Later, it developed into landscapes, poetics, and so on. It is divided into commemorative photos and life photos......

Later, the DSLR camera was also taken out and used publicly. This kind of camera does not take a picture that can be seen immediately, and it has to be printed, but the effect is much better than the previous one, and it can be printed again and again, just like the real scene.

However, the Empress Dowager and the emperor, as well as the concubines and important ministers of the court, did not dare to take pictures, for fear that their photos would circulate, and someone would pay attention to them and seek to assassinate them. This made everyone in the house not suspicious. Well, that's understandable. Aren't there several presidential-level bigwigs assassinated on the other side of the Outland? It's to be recognized.
