Chapter 97 Merlin takes photos
Shen Zhi smiled, handed her a pill, and swallowed one himself, "It cures all poisons. You don't have to be afraid of anything."
Song Rou stuffed the pill into her mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Come on, I'll take some beautiful photos with you. Don't let such beautiful plum blossoms go to waste." Shen Zhi pulled Song Rou into the red plum forest.
Shen Zhi brought a backpack when she came. She took out a Polaroid camera from it. This was the latest model she had just bought in the space.
In her previous life, Shen Zhi claimed to be a talented photographer. She taught Song Rou to pose in different angles. The photos she took were indeed extraordinary. Some were cool, some were pure, and some were cute. Every photo was a masterpiece.
She also took a selfie with Song Rou, and the two of them made funny faces and had a lot of fun.
Shen Zhi printed out the photos and put them into the album one by one. Song Rou looked at the printed photos and giggled.
"Rou'er, what are you laughing about so happily?" A hearty female voice came over.
"Second cousin," Song Rou ran over and hugged the person.
The man was wearing a bright red suit and had a high ponytail on his head, looking neat and tidy.
"Second cousin, she is my friend Shen Zhi, and also the savior of my father that I told you about before." Song Rou pointed at Shen Zhi and said to Yang Wantang.
Yang Wantang nodded and introduced herself to Shen Zhi generously: "I am Rou'er's second cousin. My name is Yang Wantang. You can call me Sister Wantang."
Shen Zhi was delighted when he saw this heroic woman for the first time. The magnetic field between people is very mysterious. Some people are loved for a thousand years at first sight, while others cannot be liked even after ten thousand years of looking at them.
"Hello, I'm Shen Zhi, nice to meet you." Shen Zhi smiled and introduced himself.
"Rou'er, be alert today and don't get tricked. Yang Zhenzhen has fallen in love with your uncle." Yang Wantang looked around and reminded in a low voice.
Song Rou...
My dad, my dad could be her dad, but she actually fell in love with my dad.
"It's okay. Since we are here, just have fun. Cousin, come and take some pictures. They look great. Look at mine." Song Rou said as she handed the photo album to Yang Wantang.
Yang Wantang liked it as soon as she saw it and insisted on taking a few pictures.
This was a piece of cake for Shen Zhi. Yang Wantang was also a descendant of a military commander, and she had also practiced martial arts since she was a child. The poses she posed today were all full of heroism, and the red plum blossoms behind her swayed gently in the wind. The combination of softness and hardness was perfect, and the photos she took were naturally satisfactory.
Shen Zhi also gave her a photo album and took a whole book of photos for her. Both of them were very satisfied today and soon became close friends and called each other brothers.
The laughter and joy here attracted many young girls who were admiring the plum blossoms to come and watch.
"What are you doing? I've never seen this before?" a girl asked with a smile.
Shen Zhi smiled and replied, "I am taking pictures of my two sisters. This is the camera I bought from a foreign merchant in Wonju. The pictures I took are more realistic than paintings, exactly like real people."
“Oh, there is such a thing.” The girl came over to take a look at the album in Yang Wantang’s hand. It really looked exactly like the real person. She exclaimed, “That’s great. If I had one of these, I could take a photo with my parents. When I marry and move to Beichuan Prefecture next June, I can take it out and look at it when I miss my family.”
"Yes, my eldest brother joined the army five years ago. My parents often sit in my eldest brother's yard for a whole day, thinking of him by the things he had. Although letters are sent back occasionally, I can't see him in person. I almost forgot what my eldest brother looked like. If I had this camera at that time, I could have taken a photo of him."
Another tender girl's eyes turned red, and she said softly, "I haven't seen my father for two years. He went out to do business, and he was often gone for three or four years, sleeping in the open air, traveling day and night. My father promised me that he would come back when I graduate next year. Little sister, can I ask you to take a photo of my father like this? I can look at it when I miss him in the future."
Shen Zhi nodded and said, "I am planning to open a shop in town after the New Year to take photos for people. You can come to me if you need anything. Children can take photos of their hundred days, full moon, birthdays, and newlyweds can take wedding photos, or the whole family can take a family portrait together. I hope all the sisters will come to support us when the time comes."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said they would definitely go to support the store. They also asked which street the store was located on. It was very lively with everyone talking at once.
"Wow, it's so lively," Yang Zhenzhen came over with a group of female guests. Everyone who had been chattering just now fell silent for a moment.
Yang Zhenzhen glanced at Shen Zhi with contempt, then turned to Song Rou and said, "Sister Rou, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you shouldn't have brought this country girl with you when you came here, so as to avoid losing face. But she actually started doing business at my plum blossom viewing banquet. Plum blossom viewing is a noble thing, and I'm afraid she saw that the guests were all distinguished guests, so she took the opportunity to do business here."
Song Rou frowned and was about to explain when Shen Zhi pulled her back.
"Miss Yang, you are the host and I am the guest. This is the first time for a little peasant girl like me to see such host behavior. It really opens my eyes." Shen Zhi laughed softly, but in Yang Zhenzhen's eyes it was a mockery.
Yang Zhenzhen was furious and said angrily, "What kind of guest are you? You came here uninvited. You just showed up at the Song Mansion once and begged Rou'er to bring you here to broaden your horizons. If you were to be humble and careful here, I could turn a blind eye and not care about it. But you are doing business here and ruining the atmosphere of my plum blossom viewing banquet. I have to intervene. Come on, throw this country woman out."
Yang Wantang's face darkened and he said, "Wait, don't be rude." The servants who were about to drive Shen Zhi away immediately stopped and stepped aside.
Yang Wantang glanced at Yang Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, the Shen family's sister didn't do business. She just took a few photos with us. When other guests saw it and wanted to take photos, she explained. After all, they are guests and shouldn't be kicked out directly."
Yang Zhenzhen's family and Yang Wantang are relatives from another family. They have been able to expand their business by relying on the influence of Yang Wantang's father, so they dare not offend Yang Wantang. It's ironic that her family is a merchant, but she looks down on merchants the most.
Shen Zhi took out the invitation and said, "Miss Yang kept saying that I came uninvited. Since you don't know me, why did you send me an invitation?"
Yang Zhenzhen's face changed and she said, "Impossible, why would I post a message to a peasant girl like you?"
