Chapter 215: Skilled Craftsman

"It seems that we have to go to the Chang'an Palace, and the emperor will summon us at any time." Fan Jingjing sighed and said.

Watching Li Jing and his party walk away, Fan Qi asked curiously:

"If the eldest lady is troublesome, why don't you just agree to General Li?"

"This mouth cannot be opened. opened, how can the Fan family manor continue to operate. ”

Li Jing is a general after all, and when he comes, he doesn't walk but rides a horse, but if Fan Jingjing rides a bicycle or walks to Chang'an, he must spend more time than Li Jing.

Fan Jingjing began to feel that she must learn to ride a horse, but riding a horse is not very healthy for the child in her belly, and she must still let her child have a chance to grow up, and not be able to rush over willfully now.

To go out to Chang'an, Fan Jingjing already has a set of rules of action, recruit Liang Shu and these people again, and Fan Jingjing rides a bicycle and prepares to go out.

She wanted to try whether riding a bicycle on this road would work, and by the way, she would promote the bicycle and let others know that this bicycle was something from the Fan family's manor, one time and another.

But here's the problem, Fan Jingjing can ride a bicycle, and Liang Shu, who often follows her, can also ride a bicycle, but a few men who often walk around the manor can't ride a bicycle.

Fortunately, the learning of the bicycle is not too difficult, Fan Jingjing let them ride the bicycle, and began to move forward slowly, ready to let them ride while meeting, anyway, the bicycle does not hurt when it falls.

Although the current bicycle is heavier, it still can't crush people.

Fan Jingjing rode out and found that there were people selling stalls on the side of the road, in fact, Fan Jingjing did not prohibit stalls, but let the people who set up stalls must clean up the environment, can not hinder traffic, there will be people to register, if you violate the rules, make the place body, and make it inconvenient, you will arrest people and close them.

Basically, the location where the stall can be set up is also limited, Fan Jingjing noticed that the things that this person sells are very strange, she has never seen him before, it is estimated that he is a newcomer, and his target is not an ordinary person, but a businessman who enters the Fan family's manor.

The woodwork of his stall is very delicate, and the wood carvings can be fiddled with ropes, making him move, and he seems to be a young craftsman.

Fan Jingjing can also do carpentry, but she also admires skilled craftsmen very much.

For what he was doing, Fan Jingjing had already given a name puppet show in her heart.

Fan Jingjing has always known that drama is the thing that can influence people the most, but going to restaurants and restaurants to watch people play is a very expensive thing, ordinary people can't do it, and Fan Jingjing doesn't want to go.

But conveying ideas through stories, letting people know what they should know, is a quicker and more concise way than words.

There are very few entertainment activities in Datang, or in other words, for ordinary people, entertainment activities are very few.

And the influence of this story, no matter how brief it is, is the most influential, so Fan Jingjing's eyes lit up when she saw the puppet, yes, the Fan family manor is still missing a puppet troupe, and even shadow puppetry, why didn't she think of it before?

Stories can make people feel bright and entertained, and when they are entertained. Their thinking gradually changed, Fan Jingjing wants to instill what it is, for the equality of women, although she has no way to really spread it, but through the transmission of shadow puppetry and various scripts, the idea of equality will slowly infiltrate into this closed world.

After the economic base changes, people will gradually achieve respect for women.

"What are you selling?" Fan Jingjing smiled sweetly at the vendor.

"Selling puppets, these puppets are fun, with the rope, you can make all kinds of movements, I'll show you." Yang Xiuqi saw that a guest was coming, so he quickly cheered up and began to sell his craft.

He immediately fiddled with the monkey puppet in his hand, held by the rope in his hand, and performed a monkey stealing peaches.

The monkey stole the peach, in the hands of Yang Xiuqi, and acted vividly.

Many people saw that there were puppets that could act, and they came forward to see it, and they were very interested.

Yang Xiuqi also forgot about selling puppets, and was very excited to fiddle with the puppets in his hands, make various movements, and even worship with onlookers.

At this time, when I saw someone come to perform, when I gave a wonderful performance, I would reward a penny or two and ask for a new performance of wonderful technology, so some people began to throw out money, Yang Xiuqi saw that someone was rewarding, and he didn't lower down to pick up the money, and picked up a puppet and performed another play, the plot is simple, but vivid.

People who have never seen a performance are very interested in watching it and stop one after another.

The people of Fan's Manor and Fan's Town all have a little money on hand, Fan Jingjing noticed that someone also threw out the scorecard of Fan's Manor, Yang Xiuqi's eyes lit up when he saw the scorecard, and he acted harder.

Fan Jingjing didn't continue to move forward, but stopped and waited for Yang Xiuqi to stop and rest.

At this time, Yang Xiuqi noticed that Fan Jingjing was still waiting beside him, and suddenly remembered that he still had to sell puppets, and the money from the sale of puppets could be rewarded at will, so he was reluctant to stop.

He sweated and said: "Little lady, this puppet is cute and can fiddle, there are younger siblings at home, you can fiddle with them, the children will definitely like it." ”

However, Fan Jingjing was not ready to follow his routine, but asked directly:

"You did this?"

Fan Jingjing is very busy, anxious to go out, ready to deal with the emperor's summons, the emperor is so busy, she has to wait in front of the palace early, save the emperor's time, she is a good citizen who earnestly serves the country, and she is very considerate of the emperor.

"Yes! It's handmade by the villain, in fact, there are some wooden sticks next to it, which I carved in advance, and I want to carve it finely when I go back. I certainly didn't buy it somewhere else. ”

"And how much can you earn in ten years?"

The vendor Yang Siqi is stupid, shouldn't you ask how much these puppets are worth? How do you ask me how much money I make? How much does this sell, it's an industry secret, right?

It's low, not that I'm not good at it. Saying it's high, doesn't it mean that I'm a rich man and pretending to be poor here?

"Huh?" Yang Siqi felt that he didn't want to answer this question.

But although Fan Jingjing is dressed in sackcloth, very ordinary, and even has some mud chips in the corners of her clothes, there may be farming, but she is different from ordinary peasant girls, and a few big men next to her are not like her family, but guards, in Fanjia Town, most of these people are businessmen, who come to Fan's manor to talk about business.

But when talking about business in Fan's Manor, most of them still go to Fanjia Town first, but they are brought in by the people from Fanjia Town, but it is obvious that the people around Fan Jingjing seem to be people from Fan's Manor.

The people of Fan's Manor have a characteristic, they have a literary atmosphere, but they are not detached from the earthy taste, giving people a warm feeling.

Fan Jingjing is different, although she has soil on her body, she has no earthy smell on her body, but she has a noble urban temperament, which seems to be high up, like a fairy in the sky.

But Fan Jingjing's expression is natural and innocent, very down-to-earth, giving people that she is your next door's child and can make friends with you.

But no matter what kind of person you are, it's so difficult to answer such a question!

Seeing that Yang Siqi didn't answer, Fan Jingjing didn't have the patience to urge, seeing that he was still squeaking, she asked:

"Is there ten taels a month?"

"Ten taels? That's enough to eat for a year! Where is there so much money! An income of one or two dollars a month is not bad. ”

Yang Siqi was startled and felt like he replied.

"Oh!" Fan Jingjing calculated the exchange rate in her mind, but she couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up. Anyway, she doesn't have a chance to use the RMB anymore, she can forget about the exchange rate, and the price of Datang is what really affects her future life.

In fact, now she thinks that it is good in Datang, because she can ignore the prices outside, and the Fan family manor has gathered a group of people now, and this group of people can produce all the daily necessities and even the luxury goods that must be used, so the prices outside have no relationship.

Although Fan Jingjing also needs a point card to spend in the manor, she can keep accounts in each store, and she can deduct it at the end, because all the stores have to pay the store rent to her.

And Fan Jingjing's monthly consumption is often less than the store rent, and Fan Jingjing will also consume in different stores, not fixed in one, in order to confirm the quality of each store.

Although they are all loyal people, but sometimes, it is inevitable that the character is not up to par, people have some cutting corners, not everyone is perfect, but giving appropriate supervision can make people's hearts have a sense of proportion.

Therefore, Fan Jingjing's ordinary life can also ignore prices, but Fan Jingjing's life will not be extravagant and wasteful, nor will she save, use as much as you want, take as much as you want, and don't take it.

And all the uses are almost the production of the Fan family manor itself.

At the beginning, Fan Jingjing still needed to go out to buy daily necessities, but today, the Fan family manor has taken the initiative to make up for the gap.

Only when she arrives in Chang'an, Fan Jingjing will need to spend money, at this time, Fan Jingjing often wants to become an iron rooster, and the money it costs to live outside is really too much.

"Then I'll spend a month hiring you to live in the Fan family manor, but open a puppet theater in Fanjia Town, train a group of people to perform puppet shows, as for the script, our Fan family manor will find someone to say, you can also write it, hand it over to us for review, as long as it is not prohibited, it can be staged." If the puppet theater has income, it can also pay dividends, how about counting your 30% shares, but you have to accept some people to make puppets and manipulate puppets, I want the puppet theater to finally settle in Chang'an, and it is very popular. ”

Yang Siqi looked at Fan Jingjing incredulously, and wanted to say to Fan Jingjing, don't joke with me, I don't believe it.

But at this time, Liang Shu spoke:

"The eldest lady's name is Fan Jingjing, and she is the owner of the Fan family's manor."

The owner of the Fan family manor is a mythical figure to the people in the neighborhood, although Fan Jingjing often walks around the Fan family manor, but rarely goes out of the Fan family manor.

People come and go at the gate of Fan's manor, and not everyone can know that Fan Jingjing has come out, although her coming out is almost standard, but she is still no different from the women in Fan's manor when she comes to Fan's Town.

There are many things in the Fan family manor, and there are the most women.

Many people want to marry a woman from the Fan family manor, but unfortunately, there are not many women who are willing to marry, but many good men are attracted by the women of the Fan family manor, and finally live in the Fan family manor.

got Liang Shu's hint that Yang Siqi, who had been inquiring in Fanjia Town and was only bold enough to set up a stall on the first day today, felt that his life was about to change.

"You're not kidding me? I love fiddling with these puppets the most, and I can really feel the life of the puppets. ”

"Make more puppets, I look forward to puppets performing some dramas, puppet shows should be close to people's livelihood and bring people's happiness."

Fan Jingjing hid her concept of brainwashing deeply, even if she was a puppeteer, she didn't want to be called a brainwasher.

What's more, in the Tang Dynasty, only the imperial court and the emperor can be qualified to brainwash people.

Fan Jingjing's brainwashing behavior of equality between men and women, of course, cannot be said, and must be silently implemented to be recognized here in Fanjia Town.

You can only do it, you can't say it, until everything becomes a reality, and it will be taken for granted.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the door of the Fan family's manor, Liang Shu greeted him, and called the doorman to let him go down to make arrangements.

Yang Siqi didn't set up a stall anymore, held the puppet he carved, and followed the doorman in to find Sun Erlang to arrange.

The puppets were his beloved, and he was also reluctant to sell them, but in order to make ends meet, he had to sell them.

But in the future, he could carve countless puppets and perform countless plays.

In fact, in his heart, puppet shows are more important than puppets.

And the purpose of carving good puppets is to perform puppet shows.

Fan Jingjing followed Liang Shu to set off, although it was a little late, but they rode bicycles this time, and they should be able to rush to Chang'an City before nightfall.

When the emperor got Li Jing's report, he should want to see her as soon as possible.

Arranging accommodation at night is a big problem, for Fan Jingjing, cooperating with the emperor's actions is really a troublesome thing, there are many rules in Chang'an City, some rules, people who have not met them are not clear at all, when the people who manage the rules say that there are such rules, Fan Jingjing will instinctively doubt whether what the other party said is true or false.

"Alas! We're going to spend money again. "After Fan Jingjing came to Datang, she turned into an iron rooster. Maybe it's because the life in the manor is too good, you don't have to carry your wallet, and when you want to go out to spend with your wallet, you are always a little reluctant.

In fact, Fan Jingjing used to live a life of spending money whenever she wanted, although most of it was electronic payment, and she didn't need to bring money.

Therefore, when Fan Jingjing crossed over to Datang, she really didn't have much RMB on her body, only a few hundred yuan.

She has become accustomed to a life with only her phone and no purse.

When I came to Chang'an, the time was unexpectedly late, because of a few big men, there was no way to grasp the balance.

If the place where they practice is at the Fan Family Manor, they will learn it a little faster.

But it's really hard for them to practice on the road of Datang. Even Fan Jingjing felt that it was very difficult to ride.
