Chapter 8 Feeding Day
Ying Ning is the most beautiful woman in Pu Songling's pen, and her "laughter" runs through the whole text, leaving a deep impression on readers, and she is also one of Jian Ning's favorite characters in Liaozhai.
Jian Ning loves Ying Ning, because she saw a woman's resistance to feudal society in Ying Ning. How can such a strange woman who replaces a man with a woman and fulfills her mother's wish not resonate with modern women?
And the criticism of the abandoned baby girl reminded Jian Ning of her own life experience, she was a baby girl abandoned by her parents, thrown at the door of the welfare home, if it was in the old society, I am afraid she would be a "dead" word.
So when writing about Ying Ning, her sense of resonance is very strong, and the words are even a little sharp, as if she is the abandoned baby girl, and then she relies on her own efforts to achieve happiness, just like she is working hard at the moment, just to fight for a comfortable tomorrow in Daming!
With emotion, with a frame, and with a quill pen, Jainning writes very quickly and very smoothly. The original text of more than 4,000 words expanded to 50,000 words for her, and five days later, when Jian Ning appeared in front of Hu Yanshu with a thick dozen manuscripts, Hu Yanshu was stunned!
This, this creative speed! Oh, my God! Have you been ordered by some kind of immortal?
Hu Yanshu secretly glanced at Jian Ning while looking at the manuscript, and suddenly his brain opened: she likes to write about ghosts and mountain spirits so much, could she be a fox?
The thought flashed, and Hu Yanshu felt ridiculous about his thoughts. However, looking at Jian Ning's indifferent appearance, he said secretly: "How can a fox have such a temperament?" The fairies are pretty much the same. ”
Elegant as a chrysanthemum, with a refined temperament, she is naturally a fairy.
Quickly opened it, and this look was overwhelming. Although the painting skin is good, the encounter of talented and beautiful women fascinates the wind and flow boys.
The beauty of Ying Ning and the wisdom of Ying Ning are very much in line with a man's imagination of a woman. Hu Yanshu was so fascinated that he forgot for a while that Jian Ning was still waiting. And Jian Ning didn't urge, sat aside, and drank tea quietly.
One morning passed in a blink of an eye, Hu Yanshu put down the manuscript and couldn't help sighing, "Such a strange woman is really admirable and lamentable!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jian Ning again, and his heart skipped another beat. How similar is this baby Ning to her? I just don't know if I have the blessing of being a prince? Marry such a beauty?
As soon as the thought came to mind, his face turned red, and the person who had always been crazy actually became a woman, cleared his throat, and said, "Let my sister wait for a long time...... Hungry? Come on, eat on two plates. ”
Jian Ning smiled slightly and said, "It's true that I'm a little hungry and thirsty, thank you brother for your hospitality." ”
"Where, it's just a few snacks."
The servant served the refreshments, a plate of mung bean cake, a plate of smiling crisp, plus hawthorn cake and preserved olives, mixed with red and green, and made people's appetite move.
Jian Ning was not polite, took the pastry and gave it to Second Brother Jian first, and then it was generous, and in front of Hu Yanshu, he ate it in small bites.
Hu Yanshu peeked at it, only to feel that the beauty in front of the window looked natural, without any pretentiousness, and her heart was beating more and more. Turning his head sideways hard, he didn't look at Jian Ning, and opened the topic: "The painting skin will be published tomorrow, I plan to print five hundred copies first, how about my sister?" ”
"Yun Shu doesn't understand the way of management, everything is up to my brother."
Jian Ning swallowed the mung bean cake, took a sip of tea and said, "The template is here, and it is safer to print less." ”
Truth in general.
Hu Yanshu praised in his heart, nodded and said, "I estimate that this book will not sell badly, and my sister is probably going to be famous in Jinling." ”
"Fame is not famous, but it is also secondary, what do I want so many names from a girl's family? Just want to be able to support his brother, and he will be satisfied with his daughter-in-law. ”
Jian Ning thought of the Qian clan in the village, and frowned slightly, "If you can earn some silver taels, it would be best to live in this city." ”
"What's so hard about that?"
As soon as he heard that Jian Ning wanted to come to live in the city, Hu Yanshu was excited.
"There are many vacant houses for rent in this Jinling City, and my sister has a hard time every time she comes to the city, so she might as well rent a place to settle down first."
"Is that possible?"
Jian Ning was a little surprised, "I am a countryman, if I come to the city to beg for a living, this household registration ......"
"Hah!"
Hu Yanshu laughed, "My sister is pedantic. As long as you pay the land endowment, isn't it the same to live? Most of the local tyrants and gentry in the countryside have bought properties in the city, and the gentry in the city also buy fields in the countryside. ”
This is to vouch for yourself.
Thinking about the system of continuous sitting in the Ming Dynasty, Jian Ning couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly said: "My brother is very kind, and my sister will never forget it." ”
After a pause, he said: "It's just that I'm not familiar with this city, I don't know what the housing prices are?" ”
"Well, if it's just me, it won't cost much to find a one-room-two-room room."
He looked at Jian Ning, then at the new manuscript, and said with a smile: "My sister doesn't have to worry about spending money now, just by your means, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn back a piece of food, clothing, and chewing?" ”
"I'm scared of poverty, so my brother laughs."
Hu Yanshu has a black line in his head, it is really rare for someone to be so calm.
"Actually, I'm also a new town, but although it's a new town, it's also a prosperous place, and it's also a place to walk to the inner city, so the rent is not cheap. I am a southerner, there are not many bungalows, all are buildings, there are many people and the land is narrow, even if you rent a single room, it will be about five dollars of silver. ”
Jian Ning nodded, her face did not show exclamation, which made Hu Yanshu secretly surprised, he was really calm at such a young age.
In fact, it is not that Jian Ning is calm, but that her thinking in the 21st century has been solidified, the concept of consumption is different, and after making the conversion, she feels that it is not expensive.
According to her previous calculation, a house is only 300 yuan a month, which is too cheap to be cheaper!
You must know that Changzhou at that time was an important town in the south of the Yangtze River and one of the most economically developed areas. At that time, Wuxi Yixing, Jiangyin and Danyang were still in Changzhou, which was one of the best places in the south of the Yangtze River, which was a little worse than Suzhou.
And Baiwenzhai is located in the area of the Cultural Palace of the Ancient Village in the later generations, which is the urban area of the city! Even now, it is the most prosperous area, next to Qingguo Lane! It's a place where cultural people live, and I don't know how many Jinshi and historical celebrities have come out! With such a location, a house, and 300 yuan, it is so conscience that I can't be more conscientious.
From this point, it can also be seen that Daming's money is very useful.
"When I make some more money, I'll move to the city."
Jian Ning got up and saluted, "When the time comes, I will ask my brother for more guidance." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Hu Yanshu waved his hand, "Sister's book, what is the price?" ”
Jian Ning was stunned, why did she still ask herself? Of course, the more royalties you prepay, the better, after all, this is insurance!
Seeing Jian Ning's stunned expression, the corners of Hu Yanshu's mouth curved, and he finally saw a little bit of his daughter's appearance, which was so cute.
"My brother said that's it."
She was stunned, "I can trust my brother." ”
"Hmmm......"
Hu Yanshu thought about it, a businessman is a businessman, and when it comes to business, the humble gentleman is gone, and his deep eyes seem to be glowing.
He thought for a while, "This baby Ning is actually more in line with the tastes of the times, and the number of words is also more, in my opinion, I can give my sister this number first." ”
He stretched out two fingers, and Jian Ning was a little surprised, "Twenty taels?" ”
"Hmm."
Hu Yanshu laughed, "The other rules remain the same, and they are still according to what my sister said." ”
Jian Ning's eyes widened, what she wrote was so valuable? After having a preliminary understanding of the prices in the Ming Dynasty, she understood how much RMB these 20 taels were worth.
Seeing her like this, Hu Yanshu smiled, "I'll wait for my sister's book to go on the market, and I'll kill the Jiang dog head on the other side with one punch." ”
As he spoke, he opened the folding fan, half-hid his face, leaned over and said, "Don't look at those gentlemen, they regard words as the last stream, but in private, they are the most energetic." ”
Jian Ning smiled and said secretly in her heart: "They are not only excited to read the script, but also to look at the Spring Palace map." ”
"Besides, the women in the boudoir don't have much pastime, and my sister's book may be more popular with them, especially the painted skin."
Jian Ning nodded, but under the quiet surface, he had a new understanding of Hu Yanshu.
This guy has a lot of insight into market analysis!
If you change your career to become an editor, you may also be famous in history.
He pursed his lips and smiled, shook off his brain, and said, "That's the best." ”
After a pause, he said, "According to my brother, when will this book be released?" ”
"It will be available in three or four days."
He paused and said: "Actually, the day after tomorrow will do, but if it is so good, it must be advertised in the early stage, and it can be a blockbuster ...... then."
Jian Ning nodded, said a few polite words, and took Second Brother Jian back.
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xia has arrived, and the farmland is a busy scene. Two days later, Li Zheng came to collect the grain with the steward of the grain chief's house.
At this moment, the grain chief is still a profession inherited from generation to generation, and there are many articles to be written, so it is also a very majestic existence in Shili and Eight Townships, and the villagers are mostly afraid.
On the day of grain harvesting, the gatehouse of Jian Ning's house was slapped with a bang, and when the door was opened, it was the Qian family.
I saw her raise her eyebrows and say, "Jian Sanniang, it's time to pay for food!" ”
That momentum, as if she was a grain chief, Jian Ning felt ridiculous when she looked at it. Using chicken feathers as arrows, this Qian is a good kung fu.
He nodded and said, "Well, let's go." ”
Qian snorted coldly, she couldn't see Jian Sanniang's appearance like this, so she was really a daughter? Other people's daughters are bound to their feet, is she not the same as them?
Jian Ning also ignored Qian's humming and chirping, and after taking care of the second brother to stay at home, he took Yinliang to Lizheng's house, and after saluting, he said: "Lizheng, forgive me, now my family's three acres of paddy field are rented to the Wang family's Qian family for cultivation, so this field is ......."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, Qian Shi opened his eyes wide, pointed at Jian Ning, and his eyes showed disbelief, "You, you little girl, what are you talking about?!" ”
