Chapter 147: The Western Carriage
Whether Wang is lying or not, Xing Shuang will know when he hears it. She didn't hide it at all this time, she said everything she had to say, and finally kindly reminded Xing Shuang: "She has always been used to being strong, and she can't hear people say that she has no ability." But if outsiders provoke her with this, it is the best to provoke her. You have to watch out for that, it's nothing else. ”
Xing Shuang nodded and smiled: "I remember everything you reminded, don't worry, I was also like her when I was young, I think she hasn't married yet, and she won't be married when she does." ”
Wang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally got up and said goodbye: "You should rest well if you have a body, although the date has been set, but there is still a year to prepare for marriage." If you have anything to do, just open your mouth and call me, if I can't do it, call your nephew and daughter-in-law to help. ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly smiled: "This relationship is good, but if there is anything, I will not be polite, but when the time comes, you don't have to excuse yourself from being too busy and refuse to let go." ”
After Wang left, Xing Shuang called her daughters to test their homework, but the daughters did not disappoint her, and they answered all the questions fluently, even Yingchun, who was not very good in the past, and she could answer the questions at this time.
As soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "Daughter-in-law, there is good news." ”
As a result, when he saw that his daughter was there, Jia Liang quickly accepted the topic, and asked, "It's past nine o'clock, why don't you go to wash and rest?" ”
Yingchun covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, my daughter will take my sister back to the house." ”
Tanchun didn't answer, so she followed her sister and snickered, and Xing Shuang's old face was flushed when she laughed, as if the couple had done something unseemly.
Xing Shuang glared at her husband until her daughter left and asked him, "What's so joyful?" ”
Jia Liang hurriedly came to her side and muttered in her ear for a while.
The more Xing Shuang listened, the more surprised she became, and finally grabbed her husband's sleeve and asked, "Really?" But this is not a gift for a saint, and if you take it back, isn't it disrespectful? ”
Jia Liang smiled helplessly and shook his head: "I also want to send it up, but what can I do if I am stuck, the Ministry of Rites said that the carriage is unreasonable, and the driver must not be above the holy car, which is very disrespectful." When the saint heard this, he didn't want it, so I asked for it. ”
Xing Shuang was relieved when she heard this, and then covered her mouth and smiled: "This is really ignorant, this Western carriage has a shock absorbing device, and it is the most comfortable to sit up." Although the cockpit is higher, it is also to make it safer for the driver to see farther away. Just for the sake of a respectable position, I missed such a good treasure, and I really sat in the well and watched the sky. ”
Jia Liang also smiled proudly and said: "I didn't know that this carriage had shock absorption, but then it was because the things sent to the palace had to be checked first, some people said that the carriage was weird, as if something was installed. ”
Then, Jia Liang said: "I persuaded the sage a few times in this carriage, and introduced the function of shock absorption, but a few old antiques in the Ministry of Rites had to say something unreasonable, and even said that they were excited later, and they wanted to kill the envoys of the family, so I was so scared that I didn't dare to say it anymore, so I could only ask the sage to come, let's use it ourselves." ”
Xing Shuang tilted his head and asked, "Is the saint willing to give it?" ”
Jia Liang said proudly: "Can you not give it?" It's also a small feeling, my identity is equivalent to his senior scholar, okay? ”
Xing Shuang twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly: "Being a scholar is also worth making you happy?" ”
Jia Liang was stunned, he was so frightened by his wife that he couldn't love it, and he didn't dare to talk back, and his angry teeth itched.
"If you are so venomous, you will lose me, I tell you."
Xing Shuang hurriedly apologized with a smile, and went to coax him again, and it took a long time to calm his mood.
"This carriage is for our big house, and you should remember that no one else is allowed to use it, only you and I can use it." Jia Liang was very stingy and instructed: "Don't give it even to your son and daughter, it's difficult to be frugal from luxury, I'm afraid that they are used to using such a good car, so they will grab the car with us!" ”
Xing Shuang twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly: "If you can trust me and hand over this car to me, don't worry about it." ”
Jia Liang looked at his wife, and immediately understood, and suddenly felt heartache: "Don't, it's really going to be demolished?" ”
Xing Shuang nodded: "It doesn't make sense that we keep buying their things, right?" If we can study it, we will naturally study it for our own use. Besides, after the transformation, lower the driver's seat, and you can use it again to offer to the saints? ”
Jia Liang thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You said, although this is in the book, it still can't run away from history for too long." If we bring in all the good things of the West, train a group of craftsmen to come out, and specialize in making these convenient things, will we be able to be stronger than the West in the future? ”
Xing Shuang was moved by his idea, and said with affection: "I have always loved Lu Xun's doctrine of taking, take its essence and remove its dross, people at this time don't know what is essence and what is dross, but we know."
"As long as you have the ability to check and turn these essences into our things, improve them or even become stronger, then you don't have to hide in this small place in the future, we can fly with the sky and let the birds fly!"
Jia Liang was enthusiastic by what she said, and couldn't help but stand up and said: "The steam engine, let's find someone to study it, whether he will take advantage of other people's inventions, in short, this thing is easy to use, we have to fix it out first and use it for our own people!" ”
Xing Shuang nodded and smiled: "Yes, there is also that TV, telephone, refrigerator or something, it is better if you have the ability to make it." ”
Jia Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and coughed dryly twice: "Hmm...... We'll talk about that later. ”
Let's discuss it in the future, let's discuss it later, Jia Liang doesn't dare to pack the ticket for the whole TV at this time, and besides, there is no generator in Europe at this time, so it's good to have a steam engine or something.
Early in the morning of the second day, Jia Liang invited the craftsman to his house, and pulled the Western carriage out, and then called Xing Shuang to Rongxi Hall.
Xing Shuang stepped forward and circled around the carriage, turned back to her husband's side, and whispered: "That's right, this is the old-fashioned carriage in England, the front wheel is large and the rear wheel is small, this kind can also be improved, resulting in the same big wheel as the later one, but you have to find an English craftsman to teach, I'm afraid that our craftsmen here still don't understand the principle." ”
Jia Liang replied in a low voice: "The craftsman didn't come with me, but I remember that Jack knows a lot of foreigners over there, and he may be able to find one or two." It's going to have to wait a few days, and you'll have the spring removed to see if you can make the same thing. Look at them a little more, don't tell them to break the carriage. ”
Xing Shuang smiled and pushed her husband and said, "You go and get busy first, and you will have the results when you come back in the evening." ”
