Chapter 187 Afternoon
Who would have thought that this series, once launched, would be so wildly popular among young masters and ladies that demand far exceeded supply?
If a family holds a poetry gathering and doesn't have something fresh like this, they're simply out of touch with the times.
When Jia Hu came out this time, a new series had just been released, so he didn't come and didn't have time to send it to the Crown Prince's residence.
He wasn't bringing the landscape series favored by young masters and ladies; instead, he was bringing a newly launched children's series on recognizing objects, designed for the wives of various families.
He also noticed that the children's animal series was selling well, which reminded him of the various round and chubby animal pictures he had made before.
He suggested to his father, who couldn't forget his father, that the painter employed by the shop be brought to the house and listened to his request with an incredulous look on his face.
He felt that the painter was about to scold him, which was simply an insult to his culture.
The shop has a large demand, so it employs several artists, two of whom are already quite old.
I just couldn't quite accept his request.
It's fine for little animals and children to draw cute pictures, but why are they all so round and chubby? Isn't that just misleading?
This is misleading and harmful to children.
There were also a few younger painters who painted to supplement their family income while preparing for the imperial examinations.
They accepted it quickly and found it quite interesting.
Besides, it's just a toy. With an adult guiding it, how could it mislead children? I think what the experienced craftsmen said was a bit too serious.
Once Jia She made the decision, he didn't care about anything else; whatever his son said was right.
Besides, the reason we hired you to paint is to make money. If you don't paint, there are plenty of other people who will. Anyway, you're only responsible for collecting the materials and paying the money.
Puzzles come in expensive and cheap varieties. Wealthy young masters and ladies prefer to buy unique, hand-painted puzzles with poems inscribed on them so they can be preserved.
The store also prints them out, and they're much cheaper. If you don't need to collect them and just want to play around with them, they're not that expensive.
Situ Minghe saw the new, round little animal that Jia Hu had brought out and immediately fell in love with it.
There was one in particular. It was a round, black and white animal, and he didn't know what it was called, but it was incredibly cute.
Situ Minghe:
"Little brother Hu'er, what kind of animal is this? I've never seen it before, it's so cute!"
Jia Hu took one look and exclaimed, "Oh my, it's a panda!"
"Little prince, this is a panda."
This was drawn simply by Jia Hu and handed over to the artists.
This is a national treasure; it's no wonder it's so popular wherever it goes.
Jia Hu thought for a moment, wondering where Sichuan was now. The young prince must be there, but he had never seen it before.
No one had seen him draw it before.
Jia Hu thought for a moment, and realized that pandas had appeared a long time ago, so they must exist in this world as well.
Giant pandas should be considered ferocious beasts, after all, they are quite powerful in combat.
"What kind of animal is a panda? I've never seen one or even heard of one."
After Situ Minghe finished speaking, he added:
"Also, now that there are no outsiders around, don't call me Little Imperial Grandson, you should call me Brother Minghe."
Jia Hu couldn't explain why he knew about pandas, so he bluffed:
“Brother Minghe, this was painted by the artist in the shop. Maybe he saw it somewhere.”
Situ Minghe nodded, then looked at the puzzle again.
"These pandas are so cute, I wish I could keep one as a pet."
After saying that, he frowned again and sighed.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. My father would definitely not allow it."
Even if Father allows it, Uncle will not.
