Cai Xiaolian led Madam Li to the study, where Gu Shouxin happened to be reading.
"Oh, it's the second son at home, Brother Gu. Sorry to bother you!" Madam Li waved to Gu Shouxin with a smile.
Gu Shouxin: "Don't bother me, I just happened to be going to find my older brother. Please make yourselves at home!"
Every time Gu Shouxin heard Madam Li speak, he couldn't help but think of his older brother, but when he saw Madam Li's face, he completely dismissed the thought.
He immediately associated Madam Li with the wife of a general from his previous life in the dynasty he lived in, and instantly felt that Madam Li was that general's wife.
She has a dignified and elegant appearance, and a noble air about her, but there's a catch: she can't speak.
When she speaks, it always feels like it doesn't match her face and temperament!
So, he decided not to stay here.
"Your husband is quite ambitious," Mrs. Li said enviously.
"Sister Luo, I've never heard you mention your husband. Is he really like the rumors say, completely indifferent to his family's business?" Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
"Oh dear! Don't even mention that scoundrel, really. That scoundrel is a once-in-a-century breed, you'll see when you see him. Come, come, show me the results of your recent efforts!" Madam Li spoke of her husband with obvious disgust, clearly not wanting to talk about him.
Well, if others don't want to talk about it, Cai Xiaolian won't ask anymore. She took out what she had written these past few days from the bookshelf.
There are two desks in the study, one for Gu Shouxin and one for Cai Xiaolian.
In her previous life, before getting married, Cai Xiaolian came from a wealthy family and studied the very expensive art major. She was able to draw things clearly.
"Hey, what kind of bottle is this?" Mrs. Li was drawn to the painting on top and took a good look at the bottle.
"This is something I've been thinking about lately, a bottle for storing shampoo. I was thinking that using a spoon to scoop the shampoo into the bottle is quite troublesome, and if you open and close it, won't the fragrance in the shampoo dissipate? I was thinking that you can just press it like this, without opening it, and the fragrance won't dissipate even when you don't need to leave it out, or the shampoo will be diluted if water gets in."
"Sister Luo, look over here, this is the custom-made bottle neck. Can your craftsmen make it?"
Cai Xiaolian explained to Madam Li.
Gu Nian is quite capable with her hands, but she has never had the time. Gu Nian is too busy, and Cai Xiaolian can't bear to let her get tired, so she simply took out the blueprints and asked Madam Li to find a solution.
"This is something we can give a try. My poor rascal is quite handy," Mrs. Li said after looking at the blueprints.
Cai Xiaolian: "...May I ask, is the scoundrel Sister Luo referring to your husband or your son?"
Madam Li said without looking up, "Xiao Lian, remember this: if I add the word 'unlucky' to a name, it's my son; if I don't, it's my father. My son is destined for bad luck."
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
I bet your husband isn't your biological husband, and your son isn't your biological son either!
"Oh! Xiaolian, your painting skills are quite good! This bottle looks almost real, but it's hard to get the colors right. I need to go back and have the potter take a look," Madam Li said.
"There's more! I just don't know if the Li family makes glassware? If they do, that would be another great packaging item," Cai Xiaolian asked.
