I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 88 Like-minded
It’s a pity that she came along this time.

Jia Cong called out, "Four sisters, come into the room and talk."

Jia Cong's courtyard was not big to begin with, so the study was naturally not that big either.

Now four people came in at once, and the room suddenly felt crowded.

But it does add a bit of vitality.

Tanchun giggled and said, "Third brother, I heard from Sister Lin that you want us sisters to help you design something?"

"I heard that you gave money to Sister Lin. If you don't give it to us, or if you give too little, I won't agree!"

Yingchun said hurriedly, "Third sister, what are you talking about? I just helped Third Brother Cong for nothing, how can I ask for money?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "Second sister, you don't know this, but Third brother wants to use our design to make money."

"If we don't take his money, it will be taken away by the couple!"

As Tanchun spoke, she looked at Lin Daiyu and laughed.

Lin Daiyu was so angry that she stood up and said angrily: "Third girl, you are getting more and more outspoken. I will tear your mouth apart!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to tear Tanchun's mouth.

Tanchun hurriedly stood up and dodged, saying, "My dear sister, I only said that the silver was taken away by my third brother and his wife, and I didn't say anything about you. Why are you so frightened?"

This one sentence made Lin Daiyu even more unbearable.

The two girls quarreled for a while, but were finally persuaded by Yingchun.

Jia Cong said, "Third sister, I asked you to come and help, so of course I'm going to give you money."

"As long as your design satisfies me, how about I give you 100 taels of silver for each set?"

After hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother San, do you think you are serious? I don't really want money."

"If Third Brother really wants to give, just give us three or five taels and ask us to be the host."

"One hundred taels of silver, you dare to give it to us, but we dare not take it!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's just a mere one hundred taels of silver. I still think it's too little. There's no rush for the silver. It won't be too late to talk about it after you come up with the design."

Tanchun smiled and said, "Since Third Brother said so, I would like to ask him carefully what requirements he has for the packaging of the new product."

After Jia Cong's description, it was difficult for the sisters Yingchun and Tanchun to understand for a moment.

After all, there will definitely be differences when converting from language to shape.

Jia Cong simply picked up his brush and ink and started painting.

Soon, Jia Cong found several quaint and elegant packaging designs from the memories of later generations and drew them on paper.

Jia Cong's sketch, which had not gained experience for a long time, started to gain experience again at a rate of +1+1.

The perfect sketching level allows Jia Cong to paint quickly and well.

Soon, several bottles with exquisite and unique appearance were placed in front of the women as if they were real.

When Xichun saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

She couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, your painting skills are amazing, can you teach me this painting technique?"

Jia Cong reached out and touched Xichun's little head a few times and said with a smile: "In a few days, Third Brother will go to take the provincial examination, so he can't do it these few days. How about I come back after the exam and teach you?"

Xichun nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, let's make it a deal. Third brother can't go back on his word!"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Of course I keep my word, how could I deceive you?"

After seeing this, Tanchun said in frustration, "Third brother, you have already figured this out yourself, why do you need us?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "There is more than one kind of packaging, and there are also pictures and poems on the bottles."

"What I want is for you to match different paintings and poems with different scents." "We should try to make our products more attractive so that people will like them as soon as they see them."

Hearing this, Tanchun's eyes lit up.

She couldn't help but say, "Third brother, I understand your idea. You want to make this bottle into a vase with poems about flowers and birds on it, but isn't that right?"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Third sister is indeed smart, that's right."

Strangely enough, most of the vases, screens, and other ornaments in this world are painted with poems or paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, fish, and insects.

However, almost no one has ever done this when it comes to commodities.

What they did was actually a precedent.

Tanchun smiled and said, "In that case, we sisters will take on Third Brother's mission. Third Brother just needs to wait patiently for a few days. At the latest, he will be released after he finishes the provincial examination."

"When the time comes, I will make sure that Third Brother is satisfied. You can just take a look at it when the time comes."

When Jia Cong was about to speak, Xichun took Tanchun's hand with one hand and Jia Cong's hand with the other and begged:
"Good brother, good sister, you guys designed this, can you take me with you? I can paint, I won't just take the money without doing any work!"

Tanchun smiled and said, "I didn't want to take you with me at first, but I couldn't bear to see you look so pitiful, so I decided to take you alone."

Xichun was overjoyed when she heard this, but then she looked at Jia Cong pitifully.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, you'll be one of them!"

Xichun thanked him repeatedly and was extremely happy.

At this time, Yingchun hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Cong, I can neither write nor draw."

"Third and fourth sisters are enough, so there's no need to include me, right?"

Jia Cong said sternly, "It's OK if others are missing, but it's not OK if you are missing."

"If you're not here, who will help me supervise the work? What if Fourth Sister only works but doesn't put in any effort, and cheats?"

"I can't see it, so she's cheating me out of my money. I need someone like my second sister who's conscientious and responsible to help me supervise the work."

After hearing these words, Xichun pulled Jia Cong's arm and twisted her body to refuse.

Tanchun and Lin Daiyu both laughed, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The girls exchanged a few more words, then stood up and left, taking the draft drawing that Jia Cong had drawn.

Third brother Cong is about to take an exam, so it is inconvenient for them to stay any longer so as not to delay his studies.

After going out, they all went to Tanchun's room.

For the girls, this matter was not only novel and interesting, but also a serious matter.

They really treat it as a career.

After arriving at Tanchun's room, the girls looked at the draft drawn by Jia Cong and asked Lin Daiyu what kind of scents there were.

Although there are only two types now, new products will definitely be launched later.

At present, Lin Daiyu is the only one developing the new product, so she naturally has some choices in her mind.

Therefore, asking Lin Daiyu is the right person to ask.

With these as drafts, the girls were inspired and came up with many wonderful ideas.

They quickly took out their pens to write it down, and then discussed which line of poetry matched which painting.

Do they fit together? Where improvements are needed? And so on.

For a moment, the atmosphere was very warm.
