Chapter 149: The Magical Carriage

From Qingyuan Town to Sheng'an City, the capital of the Eastern Dynasty, it takes about seven or eight days to ride a horse normally, and if you take a carriage, it will be much slower.

However, Cen Xiyan's carriage is much faster than the current carriage.

The carriages of this era were basically two-wheeled carriages, the doors were open in front, and the stools needed to be stepped on to get on and off the carriage, and the weaker women needed the support of servants to get on the carriage.

And the carriage built by Cen Xiyan is only larger than an ordinary carriage on the surface, and it is not gorgeous and special, so at first glance, many people will only ignore the past and do not think it is very different, but if you take a closer look, you will find that her carriage is a four-wheeled carriage! And it is a side door, when you get on the car, you can put three layers of live steps when you pedal, and put down the wooden steps when you get on the car, and you can easily step on the carriage, which is very convenient and trouble-free.

Wei San and Cen Hongmian quickly discovered the problem of the four wheels after seeing Cen Xiyan's carriage, and both of them couldn't help but show a little surprise in their eyes.

When Cen Xiyan, Jingshuang, and Yingxue's master and servant were about to get into the car, Xiao Jiu also discovered the special features of the carriage.

"Huh? Why is your carriage open on the side? Xiao Jiu asked strangely.

Cen Xiyan replied lightly: "Don't you think that the ninth prince thinks it's more convenient to open the door sideways like this?" ”

Although she doesn't want people to notice the difference in these details, she can't help it, she is an urban woman from the 21st century, not only has the soul and thoughts of a modern independent woman in her bones, but also has some living habits and life enjoyment problems, which are destined to be different from the ancients of this era.

Just like in modern times, a person who is used to cars, trains, and airplanes can hardly endure this backward era, the kind of carriage that is slow and bumpy, and it is extremely inconvenient to get on and off the carriage.

Coincidentally, when she went to college, she studied mechanical design and manufacturing, and after crossing over, she worshipped a master of machinery, and if she was not conducive to what she had learned and made her life more comfortable, it would be too sorry for what she had learned.

Although she couldn't make too high-end things such as locomotives and airplanes because of the conditions, she could easily make a small improvement to the carriage of this era, increase the speed of the carriage, and install a shockproof device.

Listening to Cen Xiyan's answer, Wei San and Cen Hongmian couldn't help nodding secretly, indeed, it is indeed much more convenient for the carriage door to open sideways than to open it forward. Only Xiao Jiu pursed his lips, a little disapproving.

"Who made this carriage? It's a talent. Wei San spoke.

"The third prince smiled, it was the little woman who was greedy for enjoyment, so she thought of some lazy people's methods, and asked the craftsman to improve the carriage." The carriage was improved by her, and there is no need to lie about this kind of trivial matter, and it is easy to check that she did not carry people on her back when she improved the carriage in the first place.

"Oh? Although the method is simple, no one has thought of it before, which also shows that Miss Six is an extremely smart person. Wei San pointed to the simplicity of the side door, if he had seen the speed of the carriage, and the characteristics of less bumps than ordinary carriages, and the comfort was greatly improved, I am afraid that he would not think it was simple.

"The third prince praises falsely." Cen Xiyan smiled politely, and didn't plan to continue the topic.

At this time, Yingxue had already pulled down the switch of the living steps, and the three wooden steps were automatically lowered, causing several people next to them to look at them or the steps.

Xiao Jiu also put away his disapproving look, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"Steps, it's just easy to get on and off the bus." Cen Xiyan replied, politely bowed his body, and then turned around and boarded the carriage.

Jingshuang and Yingxue followed closely behind Cen Xiyan and also got into the car.

When Jingshuang was about to close the car door, Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted: "Wait! As he spoke, he jumped off his horse and went straight to the carriage, "My son doesn't want to ride a horse today, so sit in your carriage!" With that, he unceremoniously boarded the carriage.

Cen Xiyan wanted to roll his eyes, he really wanted to kick this thing down!

Wei San appeared in Qingyuan Town this time, and did not bring Zhao Er and Chen Liu's two followers, Cen Xiyan guessed, after Wei San and Xiao Jiu rounded, they separated from Zhao Er and others, after all, they did not go to Yuhuang City openly, it was a secret operation, she was glad that without Zhao Er's stupid thing to follow, the road to the capital would be a lot less troublesome, and as a result, Xiao Jiu was such an annoying child, could God not see that her life was too comfortable, so he kept getting these annoying spirits to block her?

In this era, although it is a feudal society, it is a bit similar to the Tang Dynasty according to the historical development time, and the folk customs are also somewhat like the Tang Dynasty in ancient Chinese history, where women were allowed to play on the streets, ride horses, travel with men, dine at the same table, and ride in the same carriage.

Wei San and Xiao Jiu brothers are acquaintances of Cen Hongmian, and they are not strangers to her, so it is not rude to ride in the carriage with her.

Cen Xiyan had no choice but to give Jingshuang and Yingxue a look, and let the two girls sit in her row and give Xiao Jiu a place.

This carriage is a double row of soft seats with backrests, two rows of seats opposite each other, in the middle is a fixed round table, on which there are teapots, snack boxes and other items, on both sides of the carriage, one side of the door, the other side of the car wall under the half, there are fixed small cabinets, at the moment the cabinet is closed door, can not see what is inside, the door and the other three sides of the car wall above, there are windows, covered with transparent gauze curtains, people outside can not see the situation in the car, but the car is very bright, this carriage, everywhere is full of novelty and comfort, As soon as people come in, they can feel that the owner of the carriage is a person who knows how to enjoy himself.

At this moment, Cen Xiyan, Jingshuang, and Yingxue's master and servant were sitting upside down, and Xiao Jiu sat in the back row alone, looking at the layout in the carriage, he was more and more surprised, and couldn't help but move his buttocks, and experienced the comfort of the seat, which was soft and spacious, not bad!

So the bear child spoke again, "This carriage is good, spacious enough, third brother, Hongmian, you can also come up and sit, it is much more comfortable than riding a horse." ”

Cen Xiyan: "......" Nima! Who is the owner of this carriage?

Jingshuang: "......" This Ninth Prince is really welcome!

Yingxue: "......" This annoying boy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider!

Wei San outside was not polite, and when he heard Xiao Jiu's greeting, he also got off his horse, and walked to the carriage with a smile, "Okay, then today, I'll take the carriage too, Miss Six doesn't mind, right?" ”

"Third son, please." Cen Xiyan slandered, can she say that she minds?

Cen Hongmian saw that Wei San and Xiao Jiu had gotten into the carriage, thought about it for a while, then got off the horse, handed over the reins in his hand to Shi Mo, and followed him into the car.
