Leng Yuan had already bought the wrapping paper.
The wrapping paper manufactured during this era was rather plain, with few patterns, and Gu Jiaojiao wasn't satisfied.

Gu Jiaojiao had studied painting before and knew a bit of both oil painting and traditional Chinese ink wash painting.
She drew several elegant, traditional-style designs and had Leng Yuan carve them into stamps the size of the paper.
These stamps were different from ordinary ones. They could hold ink—several colors at once, in fact—making them somewhat like a small printing press.
Gu Jiaojiao had only described the concept tentatively.
She didn't even know the principles behind it, let alone the finer details; she only remembered its function.
She was relying entirely on Leng Yuan's ingenuity.
