Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

After more than a month, Yi'an came to find Lin Daiyu.She thinks this product is very good, the color of the rouge is beautiful, and it is very charming when applied; the face powder is smooth and nourishing when applied on the face; the smell of the incense is very special when it is burned.These things are better than those in the palace, where did the clan sister buy them?

Knowing that Jia Baoyu did it himself, Yi'an showed surprise on his face.Seeing this, Lin Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable.That's right, how can there be a man who does not do business and specializes in these boudoir things?Compared with Lin Ming'an, a brother, Yi'an must be disgusted and disdainful.

Unexpectedly, Yi'an's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Sister Clan, I never thought my brother-in-law would have such abilities! Why don't we cooperate and specialize in this business!"

Seeing Lin Daiyu looking at her in astonishment and confusion, Yi'an smiled knowingly: "Brother said that women's money is the best money! Don't underestimate these things. If you do well, it will be a big fortune!"

"Even if I get married, I don't want to embroider and admire flowers all day in a deep house. This kind of industry is just right for me!"

Yi'an said that the rouge flour made by Baoyu is clean and easy to use, especially the flavors of the spices prepared are either quiet or strong, but the flavors are all different and intoxicating.I heard that this was just made by Baoyu casually. It can be seen that he is extremely talented in this way. It is a pity to waste it, and it should be put to good use.

She said that when Lin Mingan saw her sighing about this matter, he said to her: Everyone has different talents, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.What people should do is to make use of their talents and interests, maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to their abilities to achieve a career.Wasn't he himself good at the art of investigating things, so he was able to gain a firm foothold in the court?When it comes to articles and poems, he was not outstanding among that class of Jinshi.But if he achieves success, he will be the best!

Lin Mingan also agreed with Yeon's idea.Women's cosmetics may seem trivial, but in fact they can be made into a large industry, and it does not involve the national economy and people's livelihood, so it is not too conspicuous, so as not to attract criticism from others.Moreover, this business is low-cost and extremely profitable. The cosmetics empire in the previous life, such as Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder, etc., did not make a lot of money.Moreover, the founder was born in poverty, but developed rapidly.This shows that the entry threshold for this industry is not high, and it is easier to develop through word of mouth, social circles, and hype.As for Yi'an, as a well-known noble lady in the capital and the future princess of the county, her status and reputation are sufficient, and the social circle of the upper class is open to her.As long as there is a good product and proper publicity, the name can be made top-down. How can ordinary people have such an advantage?

Done well, it can be a century-old foundation, and the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it will be, so that future generations can carry it forward.Even if she married into the county king's family, it was inherited from the lower class.The wealth of a gentleman is cut off for three generations. Naturally, the more wealth the better, don't you see that Prince Zhongshun is also struggling on the road to making money?Besides, if you have your own career, your life will be more fulfilling, and you will not be easily assimilated into an ancient backyard woman, and your waist will be more rigid.Although women were indeed restrained and suppressed in ancient times, such an objective environment cannot be changed, but this is not a reason for you to follow the crowd.Your efforts will change your life for the better.Now that there are such conditions, why not take advantage of them?Only those who help themselves can be helped by God. In modern society, the Middle East can be regarded as the harshest place for women, but there are also role models like Princess Moza of Qatar.

Not long ago, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou came to the capital to report on his duties and asked the court for relief money.Yunnan and Guizhou is a well-known poor place. They don't pay much food every year, and they often ask for relief from the court.The governor wanted to do practical things. He heard about Lin Ming'an's reputation, so he approached him out of curiosity, asking him for advice, to see if there was any industry that was suitable for a barren place like Yunnan and Guizhou.

Lin Mingan saw that he spoke emotionally, and his own Moutai distillery is also in his territory. The local government has been taking care of him over the years, so he should help out.However, Yunnan and Guizhou is located in a remote, mountainous area, not facing the sea, and there is no advantage in transportation. Even if a workshop is built, the products will be shipped out for thousands of miles, and the cost will be high. How can there be any competitiveness?Unless it has an irreplaceable advantage like Moutai, it is a product that is light in size, and people are willing to buy it at a high price.

Yunnan-Guizhou, Lin Mingan suddenly thought of Yunnan, it is a kingdom of plants, the four seasons are like spring, flowers are blooming like brocade, by the way, liquid gold - perfume!As early as the Tang Dynasty, rose perfume was sold on the market. It was an imported product from Persia. It was very expensive and extremely rare.Rich and noble families do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy, and the supply exceeds the demand.If you want to make perfume, the flowers in Yunnan are everywhere, blooming all year round, the raw materials are abundant, and there is almost no cost, and the perfume is small and easy to transport. Those who can afford such a luxury are not afraid of being more expensive.

Lin Mingan immediately led others to experiment with making perfumes and essential oils.After he succeeded, he offered to donate for free. As an official of the court, it is his duty to share the worries of the court, and he is also doing his part for the people of Yunnan and Guizhou.His lofty integrity naturally won a lot of praise, and Emperor Yongjia appreciated his selflessness even more.

Lin Ming'an really wanted to help the poor people in Yunnan and Guizhou, improve their lives, and increase the government's income.But, he is also selfish.Firstly, this can give him more prestige and a bargaining chip to gain a foothold; secondly, the market for this perfume can be huge.There are so many modern cosmetic companies, making perfume is not difficult, but there are also classic perfumes, the key lies in the level of modulation.

He told Yi'an that if she wanted to get involved in this business, she would earn money from wealthy families. He suggested that she take the high-end route and make high-quality goods, so that people would regard her as having status and flock to her.As long as you play the brand, it is easy to make money.

Yi'an was tempted by this, so he discussed with Lin Daiyu to cooperate in this industry.She first asked Baoyu to make some powder, taught him how to make perfume, and then provided raw materials to make several perfumes with different fragrances.Yi'an sent some to the palace, and gave them to the noble ladies in the capital for trial.Jia Baoyu is indeed very talented in this aspect, and the products he made have won the praises of those women.After using it for a while, everyone rushed to ask Aon for a purchase.

So, in this way, Aon's cosmetics industry was established, and the varieties were gradually increasing, such as rouge, face powder, perfume, and later added essential oils, pure water for moisturizing the skin, etc. Baoyu was hired by her to specialize in cosmetics. Responsible for researching and formulating these cosmetics.Baoyu's favorite thing in his life, besides writing poems and essays, was making decorations for his daughter's boudoir.Yi'an's offer was exactly what he wanted, and he devoted great enthusiasm to it, making and experimenting day and night, obsessed with it.Jia Baoyu's life has become more busy and fulfilled than ever before.

Aon has named its business: Si Hua Nian.The name is taken from Li Shangyin's poem: Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, and one spins one column to think of Huanian.Yes, as a woman, who doesn't want to be youthful and youthful forever?This name can be said to hit people's hearts directly.

The scale of Princess Yi'an's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and she is making more and more money.At the beginning, when Yi'an proposed cooperation, besides paying Baoyu's salary, she was also willing to let their family invest in some shares. Yi'an did not want to frame Lin Mingan because she told the truth in her testimony, and showed her kindly.But Lin Daiyu felt ashamed in her heart, and the pride in her bones did not allow her to accept Yi'an's help.She sold the dowry and invested 1 taels of silver as half of the capital, but she was only willing to take [-]% of the shares.

Lin Daiyu knew in her heart that without Yi'an's golden signboard and the power of Yi'an's elder brother and husband, if she and Baoyu were to manage the business, it would not be so smooth.Even if he succeeds by luck, he will still be guilty of his crimes, and will be forced to give up his benefits, and even cause disasters.Over the years, she has seen too many world situations, how could she not understand this truth?

What Baoyu got from this career was not only a generous return of money, he seemed to have been lost and empty for a long time, and finally found the purpose of life, and felt the satisfaction of being affirmed from the approval of others.He didn't care about getting married at the beginning, as long as the two love each other, what is a false name?

But gradually, as he faced the trivial conflicts in life, the conflicts between his mother and his wife, he and Lin Daiyu gradually developed some rifts from the fairy couple at the beginning.Sister Lin didn't want him to be intimate with the former maid, and he could still think that she was a little sour, a petty sex, and a love affair between husband and wife.But sister Lin was angry because he gave the maid money, which made him feel disappointed.Is such sister Lin still the fairy plant in his heart in the past?

Baoyu always had to go out, and the words of others would inevitably reach his ears.

It's really shameful for those "old masters of the past to come to the door to be their son-in-law!"

"Hey, who told the Jia family to fall, why don't you use a good skin to find a backer?"

"Then Lin Xiangjun just wants him to pass on an heir, otherwise, why not marry him, but recruit him into the family? I heard that Lin Xiangjun sent all his proud maids away!"

"Isn't that a matter of course? The son-in-law is already supported by his wife, so why should he act as a master and hang out with the maids? If he supports the family, wouldn't it be common for him to have a few maids?"

"Young master, who used to be unattainable in the past, looks so dignified. Who would have thought that he would marry into a family once he fell down? I can't do it!"

"If you don't look at yourself, if you want to be a son-in-law, you have to be wanted by someone!"

"Hehe, although I'm not good looking, at least I can support my family by myself, which is much better than that little boy!"

These words made his mind stagnant, and his mentality gradually became out of balance.There was a secret knot between him and Lin Daiyu.

Si Huanian's salary is so generous that he no longer has to withdraw money from his account.In the past, due to the lack of cash, they were forced to bear the help of those maids and sisters who asked for help, but now they can use the money they earned to help them.Lin Daiyu sent Sheyue and Qingwen away. Although Baoyu did not object to Daiyu's decision at that time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for it.He took out money and bought houses and land for them, so that they could live with some security.

He began to socialize with people, and gradually began to play tricks on social occasions, although the most important thing in his heart was Sister Lin.He felt that in those women's whispers, compliments and chuckles, he had regained his former pride and dignity.

Lin Daiyu knew Baoyu's behavior.When Xueyan spoke to her indignantly, she felt very calm in her heart.She felt lost, both for Baoyu and for herself.If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with you, it's not, young man you!

Lin Daiyu didn't quarrel with Baoyu, she just didn't know.Baoyu didn't do anything more extraordinary.They are still a loving couple who seem to be well-matched, and the days are getting better and better, and the two are getting more and more graceful and peaceful.After the second uncle and second aunt passed away one after another, there was nothing left to miss in the capital.Lin Daiyu longs for the south, and Baoyu also wants to leave the place where the rise and fall of the Rongguo Mansion and his ups and downs are recorded, and start a new life.After discussing it, they left the capital and settled in Huizhou after some twists and turns.

Lin Daiyu finally gave birth to a son who inherited the Lin family's surname.The child has grown up year by year, and he is very handsome and intelligent.She carefully raised the child, pinned her wishes and regrets on him, and wholeheartedly looked forward to his success.Although she was very concerned about the child, she was not spoiled by him and was very strict with him.When the child was still young, Lin Daiyu personally taught him to read, without interruption in cold and heat.Now, the child is studying in a well-known local academy, and he can only go home when he is resting.Baoyu felt that the child was still young, why bother to persuade him, wouldn't it be better to be looser?

Lin Daiyu didn't agree, just shook her head slightly, smiled without saying a word.Baoyu just laughed too.As they got older, the two got along more and more harmoniously, and they never argued like they did in the early years.

Lin Daiyu took a deep look at Baoyu, turned her face sideways, and stared into the distance in a daze.Thousands of miles away is the capital.Lin Daiyu slowly recalled the past, thinking silently in her heart: My child, don't be like us, I only hope that you can grow up to be a person like your 'uncle'!
