The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 937 [936] Nirvana of the Republic of China 2 (five thousand)
The woman's name is Riemann, she asked her to call her mother, and others call her Mannia, but Ma Lu doesn't care, since she is here to do a task, so she can be called chant.

What she thought were ordinary words fell into the woman's ears, but she was moved to tears like rain.

It may also be that she feels that she will be safe when she gets old. The woman asked Ma Lu to take care of her body at home, so she went out to inquire about work for her.

But if there was a good job, she would not wash clothes for others and pick up garbage for a living, but she searched for a job with her heart, and after three days of searching, she finally found a food manager in a restaurant in the city. live, but work without wages.

"I'm sorry, mother is incompetent. Let you live with a bunch of boys. There is no way. I really can't find a suitable one. It's just that they let me out for the sake of being their fellow."

Not paying wages means not making money. If you can't make money, you can't save money. To be honest, she doesn't want to do it.

"Mom, do you have money? I'll try other methods, such as writing novels."

Some poignant love stories in the period of the Republic of China were quite popular. No matter how bad you are, you can write ancient novels. Although this era was turbulent, and the family and the country were feuding, there were also circles that aristocratic women loved. Apart from drinking coffee, singing, drinking and dancing, Reading novels can also be called daily entertainment.

It is said that where there is a demand, there is a market. This is definitely more profitable than running over to wash the dishes, and the profit is faster.

But Riemann shook his head with embarrassment: "There is no money, and the daily earnings are only enough for me to spend. I'm sorry Lulu."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. In this way, you don't have to worry about my affairs. I will figure out a way for myself. If I really can't find a job, I'll wash the dishes again. Do you think it's okay?"

"All right, all right, you can arrange it however you want. I, I am also powerless."

Ma Lu felt a little better, so she cleaned up and went to the bookstore. There were pens, inks, papers and inkstones sold here, and she didn't play tricks. When she got there, she asked the boss how much it cost for a knife and a set of pens, inks and inkstones. When she heard about the two silver dollars, she wasn't too surprised.

First of all, there are not many educated people in this era, and it is not something that ordinary people can read. The so-called scarcity is the most expensive, and the price is just like this.

From ancient times to the present, this road of studying has been spent by spending money, and she is the person who has the most say.

So, she asked the shopkeeper to give her a piece of paper and a set of pens, inkstones and inkstones. Pens are still rare items, not many people use them, and ordinary scholars can't afford them.

The shopkeeper looked her up and down, "My little brother, it's not that I look down on you, two silver dollars, are you sure you can get them out?"

Although she was a little slow to receive the translation, it did not affect normal communication.

"I can't take it out, but I can write novels here. After finishing the novel, let the shopkeeper see how much it is worth. If it is not enough for the paper I use, I will come here to work for you for free until it is finished. You See it? The family really has no money, but I want to prove myself, I, "

"Hey, you little bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, you have such a big tone, you are just a little chicken, and you still write novels? As far as my bookstore is concerned, I am usually busy enough by myself, and I don't need a small worker at all. Stop blackmailing me here, go for a walk, and stay wherever it is cool!"

Knowing that there would be such a result, she didn't take it for granted, let alone give up because of others' driving away.

"Shopkeeper, let me write a word for you to read. I really didn't lie to you. I can write novels. I can even tell you about my thinking. It is definitely the type that every lady likes. Is "Dream of Red Mansions" right?" Very popular? I can write a similar Zhai Dou Wen, I guarantee that women will like it, and there are some fantasy rich families in the Republic of China, talented scholars and beautiful ladies, "

Unavoidably, the shopkeeper interrupted her, so she hurriedly made up a novel outline of house fighting routines on the spot, and the shopkeeper really became interested after listening to it.

"Young man, although the outline you pulled out is good, writing it is actually two different things. Are you sure you can write it?"

"That depends on whether you give me this chance. If you give me the chance, my first book will be published in our bookstore. Do you think so?"

Seeing that the shopkeeper began to hesitate, she put in more effort: "Even if I don't write well, I won't renege on the debt. I will stay and work for you, and I can cook until you are satisfied. I will never waste your money." Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you see, I only use one or two pieces of paper, and you can get a rough idea, so are you afraid that I will blackmail you?"

It was this sentence that made the shopkeeper make up his mind: "Okay, then I will trust you for now, go, come with me, and you can write in the side room, is one hour enough?"

"Enough is enough, the shopkeeper will come over in an hour, and I promise to satisfy you."

The shopkeeper gave her ten sheets of rice paper, the kind of manuscript paper for writing letters. The pen, ink and inkstone were already in the ear room. Putting down these things, let her children watch her, and went to the front yard first.

With this opportunity, Ma Lu no longer hesitated, ignoring the curiosity of the six or seven-year-old children, she held her chin and thought for a while, then wrote——

Write down the four words "Splendid Beauty from a Poor Family", and then write down the brief introduction of the story, and the story of Chapter 1 begins.

The routine of the story is still the usual routine of romance. It is nothing more than that there is no time travel, and the second is that it will not add too modern vocabulary that people here cannot understand.

But she couldn't be the same as the current sour-smelling texts, so she changed a routine, which was the rebirth text.

Although it is an era of feudal superstition, the articles also need to innovate. If she can write eye-catching and catch the readers' attention, then she will show her own style in many novels.

If you want to say that there is a concept of superstition in rebirth, what about Pu Songling's article?
So she believed that her routine could hold water.

An hour, no, not even an hour, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it and came to the ear room.

He didn't bother Ma Lu either, but picked up the draft paper she had folded, turned it over and started to read from the first page. After looking at it, he was stunned.

Unconsciously, he sat down beside him, flipped through page by page, and soon got to the bottom of it. He looked at Ma Lu who was still writing, and suddenly felt his face burn. What shocked him greatly, if he didn't write what he saw with his own eyes, he would definitely question it.

It wasn't until Ma Lu reborn Chapter 1 and finished writing Chapter 2 in a new place that the shopkeeper couldn't wait to ask her.

"Your idea is very interesting. I think it's very good and thoughtful. The name is also good. It corresponds to female readers. It's not bad. How did you come up with it?"

"The heroine was originally a high-ranking princess, but she became a tool for the hero's revenge. Not only did she perish, but she was also sent out to make a marriage. She died on the way to the marriage. How much she must have hated her, but when she opened her eyes again, she was reborn. In the same time and space, on the younger ten-year-old peasant girl, because of her young age, she has a lot of time to brew revenge. What I want is this kind of ability to fall from heaven to hell, then climb up from hell, and control it in reverse. Feeling, I believe that readers can also follow my narration, enter the plot, and form a sense of substitution. When you just watched it, you were immediately integrated into it?"

"Yes, yes, I have this feeling, and I also have a feeling that I can't wait to read it. I never expected that you would have such a talent at such a young age. You can write well and the articles are very appetizing to me. Although our bookstore is small, But I won't treat you badly, you make a price."

"I don't want a price, I want a split, five to five, it's fair, how much you sell, how much you earn, you get half and I get half."

The shopkeeper frowned, "Fifty-five points? There is no such rule in the industry. If you want to split it, you can do it. You three and seven!"

Ma Lu refused: "No, just five or five points. I don't want more, and I don't sell less. You can see that this is just the first copy. If it is sold, there will be a second and third copy. If it doesn’t sell well, I can take the risk for you, but don’t try to plot against me. I’m not easy to fool. Since it’s a cooperation, it must be beneficial to both parties. It’s very difficult to write a novel. Writing a single word, revising painstakingly, can’t be done just once, what I want is only what I deserve.”

"Then I'm afraid we won't be able to cooperate. You can go to other places to have a look. Before you leave, pay me the money."

Ma Lu saw that the boss was deliberately making things difficult, and couldn't help laughing out: "Even if I sign now, I will fool you and readers later because of my imbalance, but if you put me on an equal footing In terms of position, the sales volume of the book is related to whether my writing is good or bad. Do you think I will make an unfinished one? The shopkeeper, five to five points is fair and reasonable, and it can also reduce your risk and allow us to cooperate for a long time Go on, why are you obsessed with immediate interests?"

Ma Lu's repeated persuasion made the shopkeeper a little moved, but he still felt that it was a little unfair, so she thought about it again and again.

"Okay, let me give in a step, this book is four or six points, I am four, you are six, do you think it is feasible?"

As the saying goes, taking a step back will open up the sea and the sky, and everyone has given in. If he persists, he may push the master away.

The shopkeeper hardly hesitated, and agreed at once: "Okay, I agree with four or six points, you are so straightforward, so I can't be stingy, all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones are enough, and I will give you another 100 yuan as yours. Hard work expenses, daily nutrition expenses, by the way, where do you live? I need to check on your progress often, you have to live closer."

When the shopkeeper knew that she lived outside the city and by the railway, he was stunned.

"So far away, so noisy? Can you bear it? No, no, it's too far away. In this way, if you move here, I'll find a house for you, but you have to pay for the house yourself,"

Thinking of her mother, Ma Lu immediately asked, "My mother can also read and write. She is in her 30s. Could you trouble the shopkeeper to find a suitable job?"

The shopkeeper readily agreed, "What's the problem? You just need to write well, and I promise that I won't treat you badly."

Because he was tired from talking too much, the shopkeeper thought he was tired from writing, so he asked his wife to cook a bowl of noodles for her.

After eating and drinking, I felt that my mental strength gradually recovered, and I gratefully took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone given by the shopkeeper and went home.

When Riemann learned from her that she had not only found a job, but could also move, she was stunned.

To make a long story short, Ma Lu was so excited that Riemann was speechless: "So, I have picked up a treasure?"

Ma Lu laughed, "Baby, it doesn't count. Anyway, you're worth it. I said it, and I will repay you."

"Three days later, the shopkeeper will find a carriage to come over to help us pull things. Mother, you should also look at what you want and what you don't want. We won't be poor in the future. Once we have a job, we will throw away everything we don't need." Come on!"

In the end, Riemann was not willing to throw away anything. In the end, he still had no idea. He always felt that one day they would return to this shed. The so-called Riemann, who was so poor and afraid of everything, did not make Ma Lu feel ashamed.

The house is rented in an alley behind the bookstore, a two-story wooden house that looks very nice. The monthly rent is five yuan in banknotes, and you have to pay half a year, which is 30 yuan, because the owner of the bookstore does it. Guarantee, so no deposit is charged.

"This, isn't this house great? There are only two of us, how can we live on two floors!"

"Big sister, don't look at the two floors. In fact, there are only four rooms. The key is that it is small, and it has a yard where you can grow a la carte and so on. The price is expensive and has its own way. You two live here, safe ,"

Compared with Riemann's uneasiness, Ma Lu was stunned at a glance: "The shopkeeper has a good eye, and there are bamboos planted in the backyard. It is a very elegant suite. I like it very much. Thank you, and please give us a set. furniture,"

"Oh, don't be too polite to my family. It's not a precious thing. I brought it back from a cheap second-hand store. It doesn't cost a few bucks. You just don't mind it."

Riemann was filled with emotion, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it,"

"That's good, I even found a job for the eldest sister. I am an old lady in a rich family. What are you doing?"

Riemann came to his senses: "Do it, why don't you do it? My son is promising, and I certainly can't hold back, even if we are still black households, people, do they want us?"

Not only Riemann, who has been in Chongqing for many years, has no registered permanent residence, even Ma Lu does not have one. The shopkeeper pursed his lips, bowed his head and pondered for a while.

"I need to find a favor for this. Malu, I can find someone for you. As for the cost, it must be charged to your account."

This is what she likes about Zhang Jie, and what should be ignored should be ignored, and what should be counted must be explained clearly. Cooperating with such a person will not cause so many troubles.

"Naturally, but you also know how much I weigh, why don't you put it down first, and I'll write the IOU?"

"Haha, little brother, I just like a straightforward person like you. That's fine, I know what you think. Let me handle this matter. You can write your novel with peace of mind. Don't waste the money I found for you. Such an elegant place. One room upstairs is a study room, and the other room is a bedroom. I have already ordered someone to tidy it up. As for your mother, you two can figure it out!"

There are two rooms upstairs and downstairs, there is a utility room under the stairs downstairs, there is a hut in the yard, and a stove built with a shed. Compared with the original living place, it is a world of difference. It also proved that the money invested by cultural people in the early stage is worth it. If there is no high return, Zhang Jie and Zhang Da’s shopkeeper, why can’t they make it this far?

Riemann immediately followed Zhang Jie to the interview, and Ma Lu tidied up at home. About an hour later, Riemann returned with a smile.

"Looking at your expression, do you agree?"

"No, although I do odd jobs in the kitchen, I have a job anyway. I tidy up neatly and neatly. They have no reason to let me go. They pay 15 yuan a month! Oh, I never dreamed that I would have this day too. Lulu, it's all thanks to you, you said it would be great if our account could be dropped!"

"It will definitely, Auntie, you can live here with peace of mind, the days will get better and better, do you take care of food and housing at work?"

"Yes, control food and housing. I don't usually come back, unless I'm on vacation. I didn't ask in detail. Don't worry, I will not embarrass you or show off. Work honestly."

Generally, the kitchens of rich families have the deepest water. Ma Lu was surprised when Riemann said this, because she obviously knew something, otherwise how could she be so clear?

Because in this period of turmoil, currency circulation is particularly complicated. There are local issues and those issued by Yuan Datou’s government. Still have to change it into silver dollars and keep it.

Riemann spent a day tidying up the house before going to work, and he could come back to see the house during the rest time.

Now that she has a job, Ma Lu's heart has also stabilized. The two mothers are not busy cleaning themselves and the family, but go to work first, and it will not be too late to waste money after they stabilize.

Writing with a brush is very slow, and the accuracy has to be guaranteed, which is too difficult, because these fonts need to be printed later, and they will not directly appear in the form of brush characters, so he searched for a lot of data before buying the chicken feather pen and pen ink, then The rice paper was useless, so I went to a bookstore and changed it to a paper that was slightly harder and less prone to clouding. Sure enough, the efficiency was greatly improved after changing.

Write it once and revise it or N times, and you can produce [-] words a month, which is very good. Afterwards, Zhang Jie took her manuscript paper to the corresponding unit to go through the formalities. This era is not strict, and basically can pass the review. When she writes the follow-up chapters, the first ten chapters may have been compiled into a book and sold, because she is a newcomer, so she needs to promote it vigorously, that is, find a celebrity to promote it, just like an endorsement, and give it to others for free, okay? The words are recorded in the newspaper and mentioned in this way of publicity.

Her pen name is [Linglong]. At the beginning, she was full of confidence, thinking that it would explode, but she didn't expect that the desired effect was not achieved afterwards. Zhang Jie was a little discouraged, but Ma Lu was very calm.

"There is another way. You take these books and go to teahouse theaters to find storytellers or directors of theaters, and spend money to invite them to speak, act, and recommend. Although this article of mine is more feminine, the characters are full of personality. There are also many attractive male characters. You see, people in your industry say they are good after reading them. There is no reason why readers are not optimistic. You have to publicize them in place, take your time, and don’t rush. As for the publicity expenses, they can be used as cost deductions in the later stage. If you lose it, you won't let you bear it alone!"
