Chapter 112: Vinegar Cloth

"Not good enough? Ah Qing, Ah Weng thinks you've done a good enough! ”

Gu Heng was worried that his little granddaughter would get into a dead end, so he hurriedly smiled and praised him.

He knew that his little granddaughter was extremely strict with himself because of her appearance.

Since she was three years old, she began to read and practice calligraphy.

Children of her age, slow to talk about little girls, even children, can't stand long-term kneeling.

But Aqing just gritted his teeth and endured it.

He sat on his knees for too long, and his legs were numb, and he couldn't stand up, so he could only be supported by the maid.

The winter is too cold, even if the house is burning braziers and smoked cages, and my hands are still red from freezing because of long-term writing.

If it weren't for the eldest princess of Jiangling to stop her and order someone to take care of her, Gu Qingcheng would probably have frostbite.

In the summer, it was so hot, and the little people were still sitting on their knees with their waists straight and reading.

Seeing her hard-working appearance, the Gu family was distressed and admired at the same time-

How old can you be so restrained and work so hard?

In addition to her original tenacity, there is no pressure and pain brought to her by the lack of appearance.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's diligence, hard work, and staggering self-discipline, the Gu family tried to persuade her to lower her requirements for herself without hurting Gu Heng's self-esteem.

Don't fight so hard, don't be so tired, look ugly, but Gu Chengcheng's surname is Gu.

With this surname alone, she has reached heights that many people have worked hard to achieve in their lifetimes.

and her relatives, who have never disliked her.

From Gu Heng to the eldest princess of Jiangling and the third generation, they only hope that Gu Qingcheng can live a more unrestrained life and not have to carry too many shackles on themselves too early!

Especially now, the Gu family has suffered great changes, and only the grandparents and grandchildren are left to "rely on each other".

Gu Heng hopes that his granddaughter can "relax" appropriately and not push herself too hard.

"Awn! I'm not criticizing myself, but our ox cart really has room for improvement. ”

How smart Gu Qingcheng is, how can he not feel his grandfather's worry and distress?

Her heart was warm, and she said to Gu Heng with a smile, "The ox cart is too bumpy, and it's very uncomfortable to sit in." ”

She pretended to be a child, rubbed her buttocks, "I sat for a long time, and it was sore and painful." ”

Gu Heng still looked distressed, how tired can he be in an ox cart?

My little granddaughter is a person who practices three dogs in summer and three nines in winter, and directly sits on her knees until she is numb.

She's not a squeamish, elaborate person at all!

This kid has always been demanding of himself, and he also feels sorry for his grandfather at this time.

Alas, she is always sensible to the point of distress.

Seeing that Gu Heng was still full of pity, Gu Tingcheng had to take out paper and lead (ancient pencil).

She sketched one by one on paper with lead.

"Ah Weng, look, I wonder if I can add some small mechanisms to the ox cart to reduce the bumps of the ox cart."

Her memory is gone, but the "common sense" is still there.

For a person who has lived in the mission world for more than eighty years, Gu Qingcheng spans two centuries.

She studied hard, worked tirelessly, and turned a lot of knowledge into "instinct".

What about having your memory forcibly erased?

Her common sense, her instincts, are still there.

Relying on these, she may not be able to make hot weapons or black technology, but it is no problem to make some springs and transform the ox cart.

And the oxcart or something should not change history, let alone make the world collapse.

It is estimated that it is the main system, and if he discovers Gu Tingcheng's small movements, he will not care too much!

"Oh? What kind of small mechanism can still have such an effect? ”

Gu Heng is not a sour literati.

He was a man of great knowledge and talent.

In addition to the orthodox subset of scriptures, he was interested in a lot of knowledge, a lot of technology.

He is proficient in music theory, familiar with medical books, and even winemaking, ink making, Luban locks and other things that some people think are "strange and obscene", Gu Heng has also dabbled in them.

Seeing the sketches drawn by Gu Tingcheng, instead of scolding his little granddaughter for "not doing his job", he was very novel.

"It's a spring, made of fine iron. I just don't know that our craftsmen can do it! ”

Gu Qingcheng was not completely sure.

The current technology is still very backward in the end.

But, you can give it a try.

Gu Tingcheng believed in the skills and wisdom of these ancients (including Gu Tingcheng himself).

What they lack is probably the limited vision and insight of the times.

"Interesting! Interesting! Then give it a try. ”

Gu Heng was interested, like an old child, helping Gu Qingcheng to collect craftsmen and buy raw materials such as fine iron.

Seeing that his grandfather was no longer depressed, but became interested, Gu Tingcheng relieved himself.

The two of them, their ancestors and grandchildren, didn't care about Zheng Mo's complaining gaze at all, and stopped directly in the town.

One day, two days...... One month.

Under the guidance of Gu Qingcheng, Gu Heng ordered the craftsman to find it, and he really pulled out the wire and pressed it into a spring.

The ox cart is equipped with springs, which may not have achieved the most perfect effect, but it has a more or less shock-absorbing effect.

In addition, Gu Tingcheng rebuilt the carriage.

The volume of the carriage was further expanded, and a thin layer of iron sheet was added to the exterior of the carriage, and painted with waterproof and rust-resistant paint.

Inside the carriage, Gu Tingcheng added small mechanisms such as partitions and drawers.

Bedding, clothes, food, and valuables are all hidden in these small "storage compartments".

Several partitions are stowed away to make room.

If you put it down, it will be a dining table, bed and other furniture.

Gu Qingcheng also gave a small space for the maid or servant to stay alone.

Of course, the carriage has become larger and heavier, and the weight has also increased.

Gu Qingcheng simply added sturdy adult cattle and turned the two wheels into four wheels.

Zheng Mo's face was entangled: ...... Well, this should be overdone.

Under the feudal dynasty, there were detailed regulations on who wore what clothes and what ox carts they did.

However, these are troubled times, and the change of dynasties is unexpected.

Lile has collapsed, not to mention some small rules?

Not to mention, they are now on their way to exile in Lingnan.

Famous ministers + celebrities like Gu Heng have been driven out of the capital, are they still allowed to make a little mood?

Thinking about it like this, Zheng Mo was no longer entangled.

I just can't see it!

Zheng Mo continued to take his subordinates and nested in the town, watching the pair of ancestors and grandchildren toss around, and at the same time beware of the group of rangers making trouble.

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! This ox cart has been remodeled really well! ”

Gu Heng participated in the reconstruction of the ox cart, and when he saw the brand new ox cart, he felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.

He went in and experienced it himself, put down the partition, and could eat and read.

With the partition folded, you can sit and lie down freely and stretch your limbs.

The best thing is the shock absorption of the cabin, as well as the waterproof function.

With such ox carts, they no longer have to fear potholed roads and rain when they are on their way.

"The other carriages have been remodeled as well."

Gu Heng seemed to be addicted, and with a wave of his hand, he expanded the scope of the reconstruction.

Gu Tingcheng: ...... Just be happy! Moreover, there is a real need for reconstruction.

Zheng Mo was already numb.

This pair of grandparents and grandchildren can really be tossed.

However, the remodeled carriage is indeed quite convenient.

If it rains on the road, or if you are tired from riding, you can also enter the carriage to rest!

If you think so, you and your brothers can also get the light.

Zheng Mo suddenly felt that his mental balance was much better.

Forget it, just let them toss.

Chen Jing's side did not stipulate how long Gu Heng had to arrive in Lingnan.

As long as he leaves Jiankang and no longer makes Chen Jing feel an eyesore, this powerful minister should not care what the Gu family's ancestors and grandchildren are tossing, let alone how long they will toss!

Fortunately, Gu Heng was interested, but he did not lose his proportion.

After a month in the town, the ox cart and horse-drawn cart were all renovated.

After purchasing some food, meat, eggs and other materials, Gu Heng finally decided-

"Let's go!"

Zheng Mo: ...... Thank goodness! It's finally time to get on!

Even those rangers are a little tired.

They're here to be guards, they're here to gain a good reputation, but they're not here to mess around.

As people who are used to going south and north, they are always nested in a small place, and they are so idle that they are going to grow hair.

The most important problem is that their food is provided by the inn.

Compared with the exquisite food of the Gu family, it is really not a little worse.

Damn, I miss the taste of Tongding mutton.

And what kind of braised pork and fat sausage, as long as I think about it, I can't help but drool.

Alas, it's better to hurry as soon as possible.

On the way, the third lady of the Gu family was able to toss a lot of delicacies.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and the convoy finally embarked on the journey again.

The new bullock cart that has been rebuilt with shock absorption is indeed much more comfortable.

Gu Heng sat in his ox cart, holding a book in his hand, and steaming tea soup on the small partition, looking at the scenery outside the window from time to time, and his mood was very happy.

Gu Qingcheng leaned on the car window and looked at the Qianniuwei and rangers on both sides.

They rode horses or walked, and they were not slow.

You can travel thirty or thirty miles a day.

At noon, I eat casually on the side of the road.

Gu Tingcheng prepared a lot of jerky and meat sauce. During her stay in the town, she also ordered people to boil a lot of marinated goods.

Stopping to eat at noon, Gu Tingcheng distributed the lo-mei he had prepared to the rangers and Qianniuwei.

Then let the cook bake some cakes, cut them, and put the meat on them, not to mention how fragrant they are.

Let's talk about those rangers who are used to wandering, even Zheng Mo's Qianniuwei are also full of praise.

"It's worthy of the Gu clan of Wujun, and it's really very good."

"This meat bun is really delicious!"

"More than that! Have you seen it, people take care of the best fine salt at home, unlike us soldiers, who are still using vinegar cloths! ”

When Gu Tingcheng got out of the car and walked around, he listened to this sentence smoothly.

"Vinegar cloth? What is Vinegar Cloth? ”

As a noble daughter of a family, there is also a magical experience.

Gu Tingcheng felt that she was already well-informed, but she was still very unfamiliar with this term.
