Chapter 3 The Crescent Jade Pendant
An Jin went shopping and bought some household items, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then returned with a large bag of things. When I got home, I had a brief meal and read the books I had brought a few times.
"Miscellaneous Notes" is similar to Pu Songling's "Strange Tales", which tells the legendary story of fairies and ghosts, but this novel is more in line with the humanistic background of this era, and there are many anecdotes from the war years, and the plot is eye-catching, but because the content is somewhat obscure and complex, there are not many people who can understand it.
If the book had been made into a TV series, it would have been all the rage, and now she can only use witty and easy-to-understand comics to disassemble the story and show it to the public.
After An Jin became familiar with the plot, he hurried to produce dozens of small picture books, and only then did he finish the first ten stories of the story, and he was so tired that his back hurt, and he couldn't wait to lie on the bed and couldn't get up.
At this time, the gate was slammed to the sky: "Anjin! You slut! Open the door! ”
Anqing?
An Jin raised his eyebrows and put away the painting book, lest An Qing, a stupid big man with a tiger head, go crazy and ruin her meticulous creation.
"Brother Qing, do you have something to do with me?" She opened the door, leaned against the door frame and looked at An Qing lightly, seeing that he was angry and his eyebrows burned, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Who made you angry like this?" Is it Xu Yuanwai, or your future daughter-in-law who can't get a dowry? ”
"You little slut!" An Qing originally heard that An Jin had calculated his own family as soon as he went home, and now he had left with the money of the big house, and his dowry was suddenly gone, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, regardless of Uncle An's obstruction, and went to the door with his fists clenched.
Now looking at An Jin's arrogant appearance, his fist clenched with a click, and he was about to smash An Jin's face when he raised it: "If Lao Tzu doesn't teach you a lesson today, you won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!" ”
Halfway through his fist, An Jin picked up a hoe from behind him and smashed it hard, so frightened that he hurriedly took a step back: "You still dare to do it with me?" ”
An Jin hooked his lips and tilted his head with an innocent expression: "Isn't it possible to stand obediently and be beaten by you?" Brother Qing, do you want to sell me to Xu Yuanwai as a concubine and take the money to marry your daughter-in-law, so you are not afraid that my father and mother will come to you in the middle of the night to settle accounts? Ah yes, Xu Yuanwai was put on a table by you, and he failed to marry a concubine, do you want to settle accounts with you? ”
An Qing's eyebrows were twisted into a twisted rope, and he gritted his teeth and pointed at her nose and scolded: "An Jin, it's all your fault!" You little slut with no conscience, you should have strangled you to go to hell with your father and mother in the first place, so that you would not harm our family. ”
Now that he has no money, he was taught a lesson by Xu Yuanwai, and the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law is even more far away, and the family is even more irresponsible because of An Jin, who is scolded by the villagers.
My father and mother were depressed all day and didn't dare to go out.
It's all about peace!
"Anqing, if you want to go home and find your father." An Jin's face sank, smashed over with a hoe, drove the person out of the door, and saw that he was angry and wanted to beat someone, and snorted: "If you are so unreasonable again, don't blame me for reporting to the official." ”
An Qing rolled up his sleeves and spittle: "You think I'm afraid?" ”
An Jin suddenly looked behind him: "Village chief, Anqing wants to beat me, you help report to an official and arrest him to go to prison!" ”
As soon as Anqing turned around, where was the village chief behind him? Only three or two neighbors pointed at him and pointed. He turned his head back, only to see An Jin smiling and slamming the door shut, smashing him with a slap of ash.
"Ann! You! Anqing touched his nose and kicked the door, glared at the gossiping neighbors, and sneered: "What do you see?" Look at the beating with you. ”
The neighbors dismissively: "Neurotic! Seeing that An Lao Er usually has five people and six people, he taught such a bastard son. ”
Anqing: "......"
Damn it!
After changing his clothes, he suddenly found a delicate jade pendant around his neck, a half-moon ring, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if the Moon Palace was in it, and it was beautiful.
This jade pendant has been kept close to her body, and her body has become accustomed to it, but she doesn't feel anything, thinking that it should have been given by the original owner's parents.
An Jin pinched it twice and stuffed it into his clothes, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Early the next morning, An Jin went to the owner of the study with a bunch of sketches, intending to discuss the opening, but when he entered the door, he found that the boss was not there, and the door of the study was open, but no one was watching.
"Boss?" An Jin glanced around, and was surprised, when he suddenly heard a steady and powerful footsteps, and there was a faint fragrance of plants lingering in the room.
When I turned around, I saw the person who came standing with a smile, like a beauty falling into the dust, although most of the ordinary scholars, but the temperament was clean and clean, which made people lose their minds.
"The boss has something to do temporarily, what's the matter with the girl?" Lu Yunjing was holding a book in her hand, which seemed to be being organized, and seeing that she was stunned, a touch of coolness quickly flashed between her heroic eyebrows, and she quickly disappeared into invisibility, and when she raised her eyes, she looked like a handsome son.
But that moment of coolness made An Jin come back to his senses, and he looked left and right embarrassedly: "My boss and I plan to cooperate to reopen this study." She thought Lu Yunjing was an employee in the store, so she handed him the sketches in her hand, "Little brother, look at these sketches, how do you feel when you look at them?" ”
Lu Yunjing took the thick stack of sketches, and his eyes were calm:
At the beginning of the page, young men in armor gather around the campfire and laugh and talk about wine, and behind the seemingly peaceful and calm picture, there is a monster with a tiger's head open its bloody mouth, as if to devour everything.
These portraits are different from ordinary portraits, most of them outline the expressions and action lines with three or two brushstrokes, although they are not realistic, but they are very freehand, and they show the state of the characters directly, which makes people seem to be clear at a glance.
He was surprised for a moment, turned a few pages in a row, the light in his eyes flashed, and he quickly reacted: "This is "Miscellaneous Notes"? ”
An Jin snapped his fingers and raised his eyebrows: "That's right, it seems that there are people who appreciate it everywhere in the comic market, and I'm afraid that some people won't understand it." She lay in front of the cabinet, as if chatting with a book friend, she tilted her head and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Isn't it much more interesting to read a picture book than to read a simple text? ”
"Indeed, interesting." Lu Yunjing suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and the corners of his lips hooked up three points, "How did you come up with such a painting method?" It's simple, but it's fun to look at. ”
"It's just simple and fun." An Jin had an excited expression on his face, "You don't understand, this is the right way to open books for sale", "Little brother, let me ask you, why is this study full of books and canonical miscellaneous talks, but there are so few people who buy them, and finally it even fell into bankruptcy?" ”
Lu Yunjing seemed to see a little fox wagging his tail to show off his achievements, and hooked his lips with a smile: "Listen up." ”
"If your study is located in the capital or other rich and elegant places, and there are many people who can read and write, then the business will not be so bleak. It's just a small county town, and there are very few literate people who really read poetry and books, and such complex texts are enough to hypnotize after reading a few pages. ”
An Jin opened the first ten short stories of "Miscellaneous Notes" and compared them with comics, spread his hands and smiled: "The books sold to ordinary people are simple and interesting, and they don't need to test their fame, reading is nothing more than a fun." ”
Lu Yunjing's eyes became deeper and deeper, and thousands of rays of light seemed to fall from the bottom of his eyes, which was extremely bright: "The girl's words really make people pause." ”
seems to be an ordinary little girl, but she actually has such whimsical ideas and skilled painters!
It's funny.
