In the evening, Wang Wan hurried back to the mansion.
"Dad, dad...! I heard that you went to attend the inauguration ceremony of Xianyang Primary School today?"
As soon as he stepped through the gate of the palace, he started chirping and seemed very excited.
The inauguration ceremony of Xianyang Primary School was big news in the city. All three reporters from the newspaper were present, just to record the event in more detail!
After returning home, he told Wang Wan what happened during the ceremony!
Of course, this also includes the invention of the camera by His Royal Highness, and the embarrassment of each of the ministers!
Ordinary people may not notice these details, but what do they do?
Reporters!
I just dig out these little details!
From fear to embarrassment to surprise, they could all see the old faces!
Of course, their focus today was to report on Xianyang Primary School, and they also wrote about the camera incident.
As for the performance of the ministers, it is not the point!
"Huh? Are you quite well informed?"
Wang Ben's hearty laughter sounded in the room.
"Of course, have you forgotten what your daughter does?"
Wang Wan ran into the main hall with brisk steps and said with a smile.
In addition to getting a high salary, working in a newspaper office also provides another benefit: knowing all the major events in the world!
"Dad, bring it to me quickly!"
"What?"
"Stop pretending, I've heard all about it. You, Uncle Zhang and others were so frightened by the machine invented by that little short leg, and in the end they rushed to take pictures!"
Wang Wan stretched out her little hand and asked Wang Ben.
"Alas! From now on, I have to avoid the reporters from your newspaper!"
Thinking of everyone's embarrassment at that time, Wang Ben's face instantly turned red and he tapped the table next to him.
"It's right here, come and see for yourself!"
"hey-hey!"
Wang Wan ran over in two steps, picked up a few paper-thin photos on the table, and looked at them carefully.
When the reporters returned to the newspaper office, they specifically emphasized the situation at the time when relaying the story to her, and also explained the misunderstanding that His Majesty and the ministers had about the camera.
With psychological preparation, when Wang Wan saw the lifelike Wang Bizhi in the photo, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she raised her head with interest for comparison!
"Wow! They are exactly the same. This thing is much more magical than the painting!"
After comparison, Wang Wan found that the characters in the photos were exactly the same except for the lack of color. Even the wrinkles on her father's face were clearly visible.
"That's right, painters will be unemployed in the future!"
This was what Wang Ben and others had expected early on.
"It would be great if the newspaper office could also have cameras, so that we can visually record the situation at the time of the incident!"
Touching the photo in her hand, Wang Wan immediately thought of applying the camera to the newspaper office.
Nowadays, most of the situations recorded in newspapers are expressed by reporters in articles, allowing people to imagine the scenes at that time!
But if we had a camera, wouldn't it be more real if we could take pictures of the scene and print it on newspapers?
"Yeah! That's right!"
Wang Ben's eyes also lit up when he heard his daughter's words.
Before, they only thought about using cameras to record people, but they didn’t expect that they could have this kind of use!
When fighting in the future, bring a camera with you so that you can record the situation on the battlefield and publish it in newspapers, so that the people can realize that their peaceful life today is hard-won!
"I'm going to find those short legs right now!"
Just do it. After Wang Wan finished her sentence, she ran towards the other courtyard.
…
The scene in the palace also happened in several other old merchants' homes.
After the family saw the photo, they were very excited and eagerly hoped to have a photo of themselves!
It's a pity that the camera has not yet been mass-produced, and Ying Feiyu only has one in his hands!
"Dad, we want to take pictures too!"
In Zhang Han's mansion, his two daughters stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right, blinking and saying pitifully.
"Just wait a little longer. After a while, when the cameras are mass-produced, dad will definitely buy one for you!"
Looking at his two cute little daughters, Zhang Han comforted them softly.
Not to mention them, even he himself was full of curiosity about cameras. He wished he had one at hand now to record everything around him!
"When will it be in the future?"
Hearing these words, the two little girls immediately pouted.
"Um...this...?"
Zhang Han couldn't answer for a while.
Who knows if making a camera is a hassle?
It would be fine if it was simple. A few months or a few months would be enough.
But if it is too complicated, it will take at least one or two years.
At that time, they were so immersed in their photos that they forgot to ask when the first batch would be produced!
"Lao Zhang! You are so familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince, can't you let His Highness the Crown Prince take a photo of our two daughters?"
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang suddenly spoke.
"Ouch! Madam, that's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not Li Goudan or Wang Erling. If we asked others to take the photo, they would take the photo for us!"
Zhang Han said helplessly with a bitter look on his face.
"Mother...!"
Seeing that their mother was on their side, the two daughters hurried over.
When Ying Feiyu first arrived in Xianyang, the two girls were seven years old and five years old.
Nowadays, the eldest daughter Zhang Jia is already 12 years old, and the youngest daughter Zhang Xi is also ten years old. They are at the age of beauty. After seeing the photos, they immediately couldn't move!
"I don't care! Anyway, my daughter has to take pictures today, so you have to find a way for me!"
Seeing her daughter's coquettish appearance, Mrs. Zhang ordered Zhang Han to find a solution again.
"Now I only have one camera, what can I do...?"
Zhang Han looked helpless with a bitter look on his face, but turned to look at the lady sitting on the chair at the other end, and flattened his mouth again, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Hope suddenly flashed in the eyes of the two sisters.
"The Villa is just across the way, and His Highness the Crown Prince has not returned to the palace at this time, unless you go to His Highness the Crown Prince yourself!"
His old face is definitely not as respectable as his two daughters, and at the same time, it can create more opportunities for several children to interact with him.
"Us? Isn't this... bad?"
The eldest daughter Zhangjia said hesitantly.
"Sister, I just heard Sister Wan'er's voice from the other side. I guess Sister Wan'er is also looking for His Highness to take pictures. Wouldn't it be a good idea for us to go there now?"
At this moment, the little girl Zhang Xi said with a smile.
"Oh, really?"
Zhang Jia's eyes lit up.
She and Wan'er have played together since childhood and have a good relationship.
If she were there, not only would no one gossip, but Sister Wan'er could also be asked to help intercede and take some photos for them!
"That's right! I was playing at the door just now and heard it clearly!"
Zhang Xi nodded firmly.
"Okay! Let's go now!"
After discussing, the two little girls happily ran towards the opposite side.
