Chapter 191: The Girls' Career
After Wei Ruolan and the others left, Jia Rui went to Dong'anmen again.
At this time, the rush hour has passed, and the flow of people and vehicles has decreased a lot.
After studying with Zheng Tianlun and Chen Yejun, it was decided that Zheng Tianlun would be in charge here, and Chen Yejun would take most of the people back.
In addition to carrying out normal patrols, they will come back to carry out traffic rules promotion activities.
Jia Rui returned to Jia Mansion.
walked around the West Flower Hall and the construction site, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he took Qingwen to Rongguo Mansion.
I went to meet the ancestor first, and when I heard that the girls were all at Baoyu's, Jia Rui rushed over.
When I arrived at Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were all there.
"Brother Rui, why are you idle today, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Baochai said enthusiastically.
"I heard that Brother Rui has done two big things recently, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Daiyu asked.
Daiyu's complexion is good, her body doesn't seem to be wrong, and her mood seems to be good.
"I didn't do anything big, I just dealt with a few scoundrels."
Here Jia Rui was talking to the girls, and Chen Kui gave the cherries he bought from outside to the girls.
"Thank you, Brother Rui, you're still thinking about us."
Tanchun said.
"Cherries are not eaten in vain, I came here today to ask you for something."
"What is there to do with Brother Rui, can you still ask us? We can't help much. I can't be an official for you, and I can't go to the Jinshi exam. ”
Xichun said mischievously.
"Sister Xichun, I'm begging you to help me today."
"How can I help you?"
"Please help me draw some paintings, not for me, but for us in the yamen. I won't draw in vain, I'll give you some polishing when the time comes. ”
"Brother Rui's matter, where you are embarrassed to ask for a polishing pen, I will help you draw it."
"If it's my own business, I don't need to polish it. To do things in the yamen, the yamen should give a little polishing of the pen. ”
"Yes, Xichun, since Brother Rui said so, you can accept it."
Baochai persuaded.
"Yes, it is also appropriate to help the yamen and give some money, and it is not Brother Rui who pays for it."
Yingchun said.
"I also need to help with the spring girl in this matter. The words of Tanchun are good, so they are inscribed on the painting. ”
"Brother Rui, you haven't said what kind of painting it is, is it a figure, a landscape, or a flower or a bird?"
"Neither, look at this."
Jia Rui came up with the traffic rules.
Nowadays, there are very few people who read and write, and the vast majority of the people are illiterate. , the traffic rules were sent to them, and they couldn't understand it.
So Jia Rui came up with the form of a poster to promote.
It's much easier to learn by looking at pictures.
"It's time-consuming and laborious to draw, so you don't have to suffer from that. It is better to draw it in the form of a cartoon. ”
"Brother Rui, what is a cartoon?"
Ouch, I forgot again, Xichun doesn't understand this.
"It's similar to a sketch, but the characters are simple and exaggerated, and that's probably what it looks like."
Jia Rui picked up the pen, drew a rough sketch, and explained.
He didn't know how to draw, but he still understood the meaning.
"I seem to see what you mean, don't I?"
Xichun took the pen and sketched it briefly for a while, and a figure with a big head and small legs jumped on the paper.
It's not a cartoon yet, but it already has a bit of verve.
"Yes, that's what it means, so that illiterate people can understand it at a glance, look relaxed, and a little ridiculous."
"There are pictures, and they are accompanied by simple words. The words on the screen are simpler, and some rules can be explained next to them. ”
"I understand that it is to let the people know how to follow this rule at a glance."
Baochai concluded.
"Brother Rui, don't worry, we'll be fine anyway, so we'll help Xichun and Tanchun do a good job."
Daiyu also thinks this matter is very interesting, and she is still willing to help with Brother Rui's affairs.
Seeing that the girls were talking to Jia Rui, Baoyu felt a little uncomfortable.
But Jia Rui is now a Jinshi and a seventh-grade official, whether it is in the house or outside, he is like a fish in water, and he can't say anything.
Jia Rui discussed with the girls for a while, and then asked Xichun and Tanchun to try to draw first, and then made an appointment in the evening to look at the pattern, and then returned to the West Flower Hall.
After going home for dinner in the evening, I arrived at Xichun.
The girls came, and although Baoyu didn't want to see Jia Rui, she also came hard.
Five drawings have come out, and they are drawn on a piece of paper. It looks like a comic strip.
Comics?
Jia Rui couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
In fact, you can do comic strips or comics as a business.
There is not only one person who can paint, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Baochai can paint, but their attainments are not as good as spring.
But to draw a comic strip or something, a few of them are more than enough.
"Yes, that's what it means, I think that's all it takes. Let's draw. The paper and paint come out of you, take it back, and stick it on the board. ”
"Xichun, how much does it cost?"
"This ......, Brother Rui, I don't know how much it will cost."
"Brother Rui, I think so, let's talk about it when the painting is finished. Whether you have money or not, in fact, it doesn't matter. ”
Tanchun said cheerfully.
"It's okay, just wait until the painting is finished, as for the money, it will naturally be given. I can't lose my own sister, can I? ”
The girls' monthly rate is two taels of silver.
Naturally, there is no need to spend money on food and clothing, and the four treasures of the study, rouge gouache, tea and fruits are also supplied by the government.
But there are always some things that need to be bought by yourself, and some people have to have relationships, and they also cost money.
In this way, two taels of silver is really not much.
Unlike Daiyu, Miaoyu, and Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun have no special income, and they have two taels of silver per month, which is actually quite tight.
Therefore, it is also a good thing to be able to increase an extra income.
It is precisely for this reason that Jia Rui handed over this business to Xichun and Tanchun.
"Girls, I have a business and want to partner with you, I wonder if you want to?"
"Brother Rui, you often walk outside, so you can naturally do business. How can the girls do business at home? ”
Baoyu immediately became vigilant.
Today, the girls are always around you, if you do any more business, where will they have time to talk and laugh with me in the future?
Besides, the girls are all made of water, and if you pollute them with those copper smells, wouldn't it be burning the piano and cooking the cranes, and ruining the scenery?
Jia Rui naturally understood Baoyu's cautious eyes, and he didn't bother to deal with him.
"This is an elegant business, just like these paintings, let's put the "Thousand Character Text", "Three Character Classic", and "Yan's Family Motto" with pictures and bind them into a book, which can not only be used as enlightenment teaching materials, but also can be read by adults."
"It's still this style, which is mainly lighthearted and humorous, and the emphasis is on fun."
"You draw and write at home, I took it to the bookstore to print, and asked my uncle Huang to go in and out to sell, anyway, he also wants to do poker business, so he will sell the book by the way."
Poker is also a cultural good, and it is also compatible with selling books.
It's just incompatible, and that's okay.
"As for the cost of printing books, I can pay it, if any of you are willing to pay, Miss Bao, you can also pay the money, and everyone will invest in the shares according to the amount of money and effort. How do you guys take a look? ”
The girls did not reply immediately, but they all calculated in their hearts.
"You don't have to answer right away, you can figure it out together. Miss Bao knows how to do business, so you might as well calculate it and see if it's feasible? ”
"I'll go first, and you can discuss it together."
Jia Rui came out, secretly happy in his heart.
I don't believe that you are not tempted, you can make money and have things to do, it is much better than you being sad and sad and worrying about new words.
