Chapter 2498 The cooperation between Gu Xiaoxi and Zheng Xiaozi
In short, brother-in-law Zheng brought up a lot of similar situations, which made Gu Xiaoxi suddenly realize.
His strength is in the plot, the plot is well written, and readers will naturally like it. But his description is weak, just like Zheng Xiaozi said, he writes sickle and hoe, and many people don't know what it looks like. He writes about the costumes of the characters, and he seems a little petty.
This situation is fine for a short period of time, but in the long run, readers' tastes will only become more and more strict, and the requirements for Yongfu laymen will become higher and higher.
So Gu Xiaoxi and Zheng Xiaozi started to ponder head-to-head for a day, and suddenly they came up with an idea. They can draw pictures in the notebook, draw sickles and hoes, draw pavilions and pavilions, and draw the appearance of characters, so that people can see it at a glance. Yet?
Gu Xiaoxi understands the life of the farmhouse, and Zheng Xiaoxi understands the activities of the upper circle, so the two can complement each other. If you really don't understand, ask someone else.
The two did what they said, and immediately decided to cooperate to complete the innovation of the storybook, maybe they will create an alternative trend-setting storybook, right?
On the same day, they were looking for candidates for painting. Originally, Mrs. Zheng wanted to find a talented person to paint. First, they would improve the level of their vocabulary, and secondly, the painting skills were still needed.
Who knew that they had found He Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai, but they felt that they were humiliating them by adding pictures to the storybook, and they were disgraceful as scholars.
Hit a wall on the two scholars one after another. Gu Xiaoxi suggested that it is better not to look for a scholar, but to find a painter directly, looking for the kind of painter who needs money to make a living.
This kind of painter will do his best to do things, and he is not as big as the two scholars, and he can listen to their opinions.
After the two broke up with Zhang Xiucai that day, they were about to leave the Sun Family Restaurant when they saw two paintings hanging in the corner of the restaurant. They were quite beautiful, with beautiful characters and beautiful artistic conception. After asking, I found out that it was Ni Kuanqi who painted it.
Ni Kuanqi's painting skills are quite good. It is said that he was once chosen by a large family to hire him to teach in the palace. But he was robbed by one of his friends, and there were even rumors of his bad character, which made his life extremely difficult.
Especially now that he still has an old mother and a sick wife at home, the family is even more strapped, which is why he is short of money to live in a slum.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxi approached them, they briefly explained the situation. Ni Kuanqi only asked about the wages, and then agreed directly.
He has to support his mother and wife at home, and he has no choice at all, not to mention that he just paints the book, even if he is asked to pick shit, he will go, as long as the wages are in place.
But obviously, Gu Xiaoxi and Zheng Xiaozi are both owners who are not short of money. After signing the deed with Ni Kuanqi, they directly advanced him five taels of silver and asked him to use it to buy medicine for his wife.
And their yard is also rented, because it is close to Guozijian, so it is not cheap, but the atmosphere is good.
Little brother-in-law Zheng was very insistent, and said that if he had time, he could go to the Jasper Garden next door, chat with those scholars, and communicate with him, which would help Gu Xiaoxi to spread his imagination.
And there is also a small theater in Jasper Garden. Occasionally listening to a play can also stimulate inspiration, right?
In short, brother-in-law Zheng always has his own set of reasons, and things are done so quietly.
