Chapter 74 Picture Album Version of the Three-Character Classic
Daiyu took the book and handed it to her: "This is the Three Character Classic. When I was sorting out the books, I asked June to help me because I didn't have enough manpower. June looked through a few books and said that the content in the book was obscure and difficult to understand.
It’s not easy to recognize, so why not add some pictures, like a picture album, so that people can remember and understand it at a glance.
I thought about it carefully and felt that what she said was very reasonable, so I tried it with the Three-Character Sutra. After drawing two pictures, I showed them to the maids. As a result, the maids who were illiterate all said that they could do it.
After I understood it, I compiled the entire book into a volume and printed it."
Jiusi took the book and flipped through it, and found that the content inside was quite interesting. Although it was not as exquisite as those printed in modern books, it was still quite easy to understand.
But looking at the fat little man, she asked Daiyu helplessly: "Why did you draw the characters like this? Aren't the portraits you drew before very good?"
Daiyu looked at the place she was pointing at and found that it was the kind of little person she drew after learning her sister's drawing method. She couldn't help but smile and said: "This kind of character drawing is more interesting. I have found many ways to draw it for people to see.
They all agreed that your painting method, sister, is the most interesting and easiest to remember, so I painted it this way.
Moreover, it looks more blessed this way and has a good meaning. Those who read it will definitely want to buy it even more. After all, it is a good sign that they will have no worries about food and drink!"
Thinking of the huge sales of her book after it was published, Daiyu was extremely happy. This was the first shop that her sister had given her. She must do a good job and not live up to her sister's expectations of her.
When Jiusi heard what she said, he smiled and shook his head, then looked down again.
The reason why they like Q version characters so much is just because of the times.
In this era when most people don’t have enough to eat, isn’t it just that being fat is considered beautiful and that fatness is a blessing?
Just like Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, one is the daughter of an official and the other is the daughter of a down-and-out imperial merchant. According to the calculation of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, Daiyu is better than Baochai no matter what, but many people just prefer Xue Baochai.
If it is because Daiyu did not give money to the Jia family when she came to Beijing, the masters and their confidants of the Jia family knew that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sent money and things to the Jia family, so why did they still say so?
Baochai is better
In addition to Baochai being accompanied by her family, the Xue family also has a lot of wealth. Apart from knowing how people are, her plump figure is also a pleasing point. In their opinion, Baochai is luckier than the skinny Daiyu.
It also makes people like to be closer.
But these are not important now. Whether you like Daiyu or not, you are living a good life, and you no longer need to look at their faces.
After reading the entire book, Jiusi made some suggestions to Daiyu: "Your book is good, but you can make the templates of these pictures smaller. Otherwise, if the cost of this book is too high, you will not be able to sell it."
It will be very inconvenient, and fewer people will be able to afford it.
It is also best to have sentences with sentence fragments for those words. It has always been difficult for us to understand those books. Most of the time it is because the books do not have sentence fragments. It has many meanings and seems very difficult to understand. It would be much easier if there were sentence fragments.<
/p>
Last but not least, don’t you think words written horizontally are more legible?"
While listening to what she said, Daiyu wrote down her thoughts with pen and paper. When she finished speaking, her solution was also written.
She showed the paper to Jiusi and looked at it: "Sister, look at my solution."
Jiusi took it, looked at it, and nodded in agreement: "The writing is very good, but why do you want me to engrave the template for you?"
Daiyu looked at her with a smile and explained: "Because sister, your carving skills are the best. The ones they carved are not as fine as yours. This time the pictures are already their best, so I want to
For smaller pictures, you can only engrave them."
Hehe, I’m such a clever little guy, I can’t believe you’re so busy and you’re still thinking of ways to train me.
After hearing this, Jiusi stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, no, no, sister, you have to learn to develop the abilities of your subordinates, instead of thinking about how to exploit your sister.
If they say it can't be done and you do it yourself or let me do it, it will exhaust us to death.
Why do we buy people? Isn’t it to help us do things? Instead of thinking about letting me do it to save you that trouble, you might as well let them practice more.
Anyway, it’s still early, just let them continue to practice. If they really don’t have the ability, just replace them. There are so many talents in the world, why bother with just a few people.”
Dude, I finally had time to rest, how could I let myself stop such a tiring job? It’s not like I can’t afford food, so I have to rely on my crafts to survive.
After listening to her words, Daiyu also felt that her solution was not right, so she nodded: "Well, I understand, sister. I will send someone to tell them later and ask them to find a way to solve this problem quickly.
No, I will ask someone to find another engraver."
After her sister said this, she realized that she seemed to be manipulated by those carvers.
When my sister was managing the bookstore, no matter what she wanted to do, it was always a matter of just one sentence. None of those people dared to say no, and no matter how difficult the problem was, it could be solved in a few days.
But now that she is in charge of the library, she has a lot of troubles. Either this doesn't work, or that doesn't work. Even speaking, she has to discuss it with others, and that may not work.
It seems that her methods are too gentle, which makes people dare to bully her, the master.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. It was time for people to see her methods. After all, you can't let your sister worry about her all the time.
My sister is not only busy with family affairs, but also has to be wary of assassinations that appear from time to time. She is already busy enough, and she should not let her worry about herself anymore.
Moreover, she is not stupid. Her sister has reminded her so clearly. If she still doesn't know how to deal with it, her sister will ask her to handle everything in the house because she is not qualified. She doesn't want to experience that kind of pain again.
.
Seeing that she had reacted, Jiusi stopped talking and gave her a new suggestion: "In addition to the previous suggestions, I think you can also mark the code below.
In this way, not only will it be easier to remember the number of pages when reading a book, but even if the book falls apart one day, it will be easier to find the correct order, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She hugged Jiusi and praised her: "Sister, you are the fairy in the sky. You are beautiful and kind. You came to earth just to save my sister. Otherwise, how could I have met you like this?"
Where’s my good sister?
I wanted to organize the books into a volume, so you gave me the bookstore. I wanted to reprint a new volume, and you gave me so many useful suggestions. Now you also helped me solve a difficult problem. It really makes me happy.
