Chapter 219: A Beautiful Blueprint
As soon as Xu Xue heard this, her eyes instantly lit up: "Will there really be?" Will they enjoy coming to find my new book? ”
"Yes, definitely." Zhao Ruxi said, "You write so well, how can you not have it?" Maybe there were few such people at the beginning, but when you write better than the other, there will naturally be more such people. ”
Xu Xue has been inspired by the beautiful blueprint sketched by Zhao Ruxi, and she can't wait to go back and write another book now.
"The more you write, the better you get, the more famous you get, and when someone sees your later books and likes them very much, they will come to your first or second book to read. That is to say, every time you write a book later, it will bring a wave of sales to the previous book, and such a long-term income is definitely more than the income of six taels or even twenty taels of silver. ”
Xu Xue originally only stared at the few taels of silver received for this book. But after Zhao Ruxi's analysis, she felt that what was unfolding in front of her was a bright road and broad prospects for life planning. As long as she writes well and works hard, she can rely on the proceeds from writing books to support herself and give back to her family. There is no need to worry about getting married in the future and getting angry in your in-laws' family.
There are many little sisters in the village, and she sees the situation of those people before and after marriage.
How many women have swallowed their anger when they were abused by their mothers-in-law and beaten by their husbands, just because they had nowhere to go when they left their in-laws' house, let alone the ability to support themselves. But those women who embroider well and can make money are different. The in-laws didn't dare to beat and scold her at will because she could make money. The same is true of the rich and powerful mother's family.
Now she can make money, and no matter what kind of family she marries in the future, she doesn't have to be angry with others. It's a big deal for her to leave and support herself.
Zhao Ruxi saw that Xu Xue was high-spirited, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and knew that he had used the right trick.
The contract signed with the bookstore is not about earning a few more taels of silver, but about whether it has played an incentive role for Xu Xue.
"There is another thing...... Zhao Ruxi told Xu Xue about Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu's finding a school for Xu Chongwen and renting out the house.
"You go back and discuss this with your uncle and aunt." Zhao Ruxi said, and took out another post, "On the tenth day off, my father and mother invited your family to dinner." When the time comes, what uncles and aunts think about the school and the house, you can tell my father and mother directly. My mother said that I invited you to dinner, because my grandmother and father wanted to express their gratitude to my uncle and aunt, and the other also wanted you to recognize the door and walk around as serious relatives in the future, so just feel free. You can also go and see the ethnology and rental houses. ”
Xu Xue heard that Suiping Bofu could find a private school for her brother, and she was excited and a little uneasy. However, this matter is not up to her, so she only agreed, saying that she would definitely tell her father when she went back.
Sending Xu Xue to the gate of the academy and watching her enter the academy, Zhao Ruxi took a carriage to Kang Shilin's house where he went last night.
"Girl, are you here?" Mother Song estimated that Zhao Ruxi was coming soon, so she waited in the gatehouse. Seeing her come in, he hurriedly greeted her.
"Is my master here?"
"Yes. Not only was Mr. in it, but there were also a lot of people who learned to draw yesterday. Mother Song reported the names of several people.
Except for Gong Cheng, who was running errands in the yamen, everyone else who had nothing to do came.
didn't hear Wu Zong's name, and Zhao Ruxi didn't feel strange.
Although Wu Zong said that in order to learn to paint, he deliberately asked the yamen for leave. But a place like Dali Temple is not an ordinary yamen, and you can ask for leave if you ask for leave. With a case, if Wu Zong needs to cooperate, he has to go in the middle of the night, not to mention the normal time of going to the office.
A few people entered, and Zhao Ruxi saw that in the open xuan where they painted yesterday, everyone was seriously painting against the cone. The courtyard was quiet except for the occasional sound of sparrows in the branches.
She walked over and looked at the drawings that everyone had drawn.
"You...... That's not true. Seeing the painting of the old gentleman in front of her, she smiled and said loudly.
Most of the people here are young people, in their twenties and thirties. He is the only one who is in forty like Gong Cheng. In addition, there are only Kang Shilin and the old gentleman in front of him.
This old gentleman's name is Zhou Wenbai. Kang Shilin was in a hurry to learn to paint yesterday, and he didn't introduce the identities of some people at all, but just said their names in a flash, and urged Zhao Ruxi to demonstrate painting.
So what is the identity of Mr. Zhou Wenbai, Zhao Ruxi doesn't know. What impressed her the most was that he was less receptive to three-dimensional painting than anyone else.
Don't look at Kang Shilin's age of sixty or almost seventy years old, he is no worse than young people who can accept new things. After Zhao Ruxi introduced the three-dimensional image of the cone and demonstrated it, Kang Shilin was immediately able to draw it decently.
However, Mr. Zhou Wenbai is more than ten years younger than Kang Shilin, about fifty years old. But as soon as he put down the pen, it was still the way of Chinese painting, and his hand holding the charcoal was also very awkward. Zhao Ruxi didn't pay attention to it a little, and he turned into a brush again, and corrected it several times to no avail, which gave Zhao Ruxi a headache.
Kang Shilin didn't introduce his identity, but Zhao Ruxi, who was extremely transparent, knew that any of the people present had an extraordinary background.
Even in modern times, if you want to succeed in painting, you need to spend a very high amount of money, and the average working family is not very affordable, let alone the ridiculously high cost of paper and pen in ancient times.
Therefore, the people present, even if they are not all from wealthy families, are definitely from rich and noble families. Moreover, these people have definitely made achievements in the field of painting, so they can get into the eyes of Mr. Kang Shilin and be accepted into this painting class.
Therefore, Zhao Ruxi's attitude towards these people is not only good, but also very respectful, even if the old gentleman in front of her has a kind of posture that no matter how he teaches, she still corrects him very good-natured.
And in order to take care of the old gentleman's face, even if she saw that he was doing something wrong, she didn't deliberately break it, corrected and guided the old gentleman frequently, which was similar to others, and tried to be as tactful as possible when reminding, for fear that the old gentleman would be lost face and couldn't stand it and walked away.
If the three thousand taels of silver in her pocket were returned again, her heart would ache. Not to mention that it is possible to offend the big guy because of this, it's not cost-effective.
When the teacher is regarded as a grandson, it is estimated that she is the only one in ancient and modern China and abroad, alas!
As soon as she spoke, everyone else noticed that she was coming. However, seeing that she was giving guidance to Zhou Wenbai, everyone else did not speak very carefully, even Kang Shilin.
After Zhao Ruxi walked around and guided all the people, Kang Shilin shouted: "Girl, you can draw another picture and give everyone a demonstration." ”
"Yes, yes." Everyone else chimed in.
