Chapter 249: The Guest Girl (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
After staying at the post station for half a month, Gu Tingcheng went to the simple "workshop" every day to check.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng "attaches great importance" to it, the craftsmen did not dare to slack off.
Ding Ding Ding! Dangdang!
After three days of banging and beating, they made a finished product.
Gu Tingcheng took the horseshoe that was still warm and slowly groped with his hands.
Her hands are the standard!
She can clearly feel whether the craftsmanship of this piece of horseshoe is qualified and whether the size is standard.
"Here, here, polish it again!"
Gu Tingcheng couldn't say the specific size unit, after all, "silk" or something, craftsmen in this era couldn't understand it at all.
"Forget it! Give me a file. ”
Gu Qingcheng is not easy to describe, how much is missing, so he simply comes by himself!
The craftsmen were stunned and then panicked.
The little steward also looked worried.
"Didn't you hear me?"
Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to see a few people surprised.
She has adapted for a few days, and has completely returned to the model of a noble lady of the family.
And the noble girl, the emphasis is on the word "expensive".
She just can do whatever she wants.
In this era, although the families were not as bohemian as the Wei and Jin dynasties, they were still very mavericks.
There are celebrities who like donkeys to bark, and there are madmen who are obsessed with drugs and fruit runs, Gu Qingcheng is just an iron, and it seems to be a kind of "elegant thing"!
Sure enough, seeing Gu Qingcheng's insistence, although the little steward felt that it was inappropriate, he still glanced at the craftsman.
The craftsman got the approval of the little steward, so he trembled his hands and held the file in front of Gu Tingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng held the file, and the familiarity from the divine soul made her enter the state in an instant.
Sting!
With a slight touch, the thickness of that trace was rubbed away, and Gu Qingcheng was satisfied!
There is only a difference of 0.5 filaments, but this horseshoe has reached the perfect level!
Craftsman & Steward: ......
Their skills are not high enough, so they naturally can't feel Gu Qingcheng's power.
They were pure astonishment: that's it! That's it!
Is your Sanniang okay?
Gu Tingcheng: ...... It's cold in the heights.
……
"What is this?"
Gu Heng looked at the few pieces of iron placed in front of him, and he couldn't figure out what his little granddaughter meant.
"This is an artifact that can reduce the damage of war horses!"
Gu Tingcheng picked up the horseshoe and explained to his grandfather while gesturing.
"You're saying that by nailing this to the horse's hooves, you can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hooves?"
If the horse's hooves are not worn out, the war horse will not be scrapped!
This causal relationship, Gu Heng can still sort it out.
But, here's the question -
"If you put a nail in a horse's hooves, will the horse, the horse, get hurt?"
Gu Heng brought in the human foot, drove a nail in the foot, hiss~, just thinking about it, Gu Heng felt pain!
Gu Tingcheng: ......
"It is true that a horse's hooves are like human feet, but they are not meat, but—"
Gu Tingcheng thought for a while and pointed to his nails, "It should be similar to nails!" ”
Trim your nails and it won't hurt!
Gu Heng looked at the little granddaughter's obviously "grown" little face, well, it has become better again.
Look at the horseshoe again, half-convinced.
"Ah Weng, whether you succeed or fail, you will know if you try it!"
The knowledge that Gu Tingcheng learned in the world that transcended this time and space was worn away, so she couldn't say that the horse's hoof was a cuticle.
Since the explanation is not clear, I simply do not explain it.
Speak directly with the facts.
"It's good!"
Gu Heng saw that his little granddaughter looked confident and didn't want to hit her.
Isn't it just a horse, and the Gu family can afford it.
Avoiding Zheng Mo, the Qianniu Wei Zhonglang who was in charge of the "escort", Gu Heng quietly ordered someone to pull a horse, and then nailed a horseshoe to the horse's hooves.
The whole time, the horse was panicked, but not in pain.
Gu Heng watched on the spot and couldn't help but nodded, "A-Qing is right, the horse really won't hurt!" ”
Seeing this scene, Gu Heng became more and more confident in his little granddaughter.
"Let people ride horses and explore the way!"
"Master the distance, about three or four hundred miles back and forth!"
Gu Heng asked about his own department that was good at riding and shooting, under normal circumstances, after running for seven or eight hundred miles, the horse's hooves would wear out.
At a distance of three or four hundred miles, there will be wear and tear, but it will not hurt the horse's hooves!
"Yes!"
A certain part of the song agreed, and galloped out.
Gu Heng and the others continued to stay at the post station and wait.
Zheng Mo: ...... What the hell is the Gu family tossing?
It's iron-striking again, it's path-finding again, mysterious and sneaky.
However, because of the status of the Gu family and Gu Heng's reputation, he didn't dare to pay too much attention to it.
"It should be that little girl from the Gu family who is messing around. You'an Gong is too, so conniving! ”
Gu Tingcheng's age is really the best disguise.
As soon as they heard that she was "dominating", Zheng Mo and the others would subconsciously think that she was tossing.
Think about it, a six-year-old child, or a woman, what big things can she do?
Three days later, the Gu family's subordinates returned on horseback.
Gu Heng ordered people to pull both men and horses to the backyard.
Pull up the fence and block out all curious sights.
"How?"
Gu Heng was a little excited.
For he found that the part of the horseback riding was ecstatic.
"Lang Jun, the horse's hooves are not worn!"
ran back and forth for more than 400 miles, but there was no loss at all.
When the horses are running, they seem to be very cheerful.
Mountains, flatlands, and the occasional pebble, which the horses can handle with ease.
"Good! All right! ”
Although Gu Heng is a civil official, he is not a sour and rotten literati.
He is the kind of civil and military all-rounder who can lead troops to fight and govern the country when he gets off the horse.
This is also a real family son, proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, and the general and the Chinese book can be switched at will.
When he was young, Gu Heng also led soldiers. So, he knows too well the importance of the horseshoe.
"With this thing, my son will be able to occupy a high position in the Northern Dynasty!"
Maybe I can change my title.
Gu Heng's eyes flashed with ambition.
He takes care of his family, even if he can't gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasty, he will never decline.
went to the Northern Dynasty, but he was still able to continue to be prominent with his "military exploits".
That night, there was a group of knights, rushing to the Northern Dynasty.
Some of these horses have horseshoes, some don't!
What Gu Heng wants is a strong contrast that can be seen with the naked eye.
With clear examples in front of him, he didn't have to bother with words in his letters.
……
"Gong You'an, it's been almost a month, isn't it time for us to leave?"
Zheng Mo endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back.
On this day, he came to see Gu Heng and reminded him tactfully.
"Good! Leave! ”
Gu Heng calculated the distance and readily agreed.
When I left Beijing, it was spring, and on the road, I stopped and stopped.
It's been almost two months.
It's early summer.
It is still more than half way away from his exile in Luo Prefecture.
If we rush at this rate, it is estimated that it will take two or three months.
By then, it will be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
Hurricane season should have passed!
Gu Heng is knowledgeable and has been a Chinese scholar for many years, so he knows that there is a very terrible natural phenomenon in the southern coastal area - hurricanes.
Every summer, strong winds blow from the sea.
The wind was so powerful that it could overturn houses and destroy fertile land.
Towering trees can be uprooted from the ground.
People, livestock, etc., will also be carried by the wind and fly into the sky.
Such strong winds are also called "hurricanes" (typhoons).
During hurricane season, seaside states and counties are devastated, and many officials are so frightened by the power of heaven that they have to retreat inland for shelter.
Gu Heng is not afraid of the miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants in Lingnan, but he doesn't want to be blown into the sky by a hurricane.
If you know it's dangerous, run away!
This is not cowardice, but a normal tendency to avoid evil.
"Hey! Good! ”
Zheng Mo didn't know Gu Heng's calculations, and when he heard that this ancestor was finally relieved, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If you are willing to keep going!
Zheng Mo really can't stand this kind of grinding and chirping, procrastinating trip.
However, when it was said to be "departure", it was still delayed for three days.
First, it is necessary to re-prepare the supplies.
In these years, there were not so many convenience stores and supermarkets compared to later generations.
Food, medicinal herbs, clothing and other daily necessities need to be prepared in advance.
No one knows if they can meet the county seat or the post station when they are in a hurry.
If you go to the wilderness and don't have enough things, you can only endure it.
So many people eat and drink Lazar, and they must be well prepared.
Gu Tingcheng started a large-scale procurement mode again, sending people to nearby villages, towns, and even county towns to buy and buy.
Meat, eggs, vegetables, seeds, herbs......
The Gu family was rich, and they were exiled, and they also pulled a large cart of copper coins, gold and silver.
Therefore, Gu Qingchenghua is not soft at all when it is used.
After purchasing the materials of the two ox carts, Gu Tingcheng announced that it was over.
And at this time, the guest girl that Gu Yi gave to Gu Tingcheng also arrived.
Twenty little girls, the eldest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest is seven or eight years old, all of them are from the Gu family.
They are the servants of the Gu family and belong to private property.
"Sanniang!"
Twenty little girls knelt respectfully in front of Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at it, well, they were all very deferential, and they were not such cowering children.
"Literate?"
Gu Qingcheng asked softly.
Seven or eight of the little girls raised their heads, "I know a few words!" ”
Not bad! Gu Qingcheng silently wrote down these literate guest girls.
"What else do you have to offer?"
Gu Qingcheng asked casually.
The little girls reported one by one.
This one said, "The slave will be a female red." ”
The one said, "The slave learned to cook." ”
Another person said, "The slave learned to ride and shoot with his father and brother!" ”
Can martial arts?
That's pretty good.
Gu Qingcheng focused on writing down this guest girl.
Then when it was the turn of a chubby-looking little girl, she hesitated.
After holding back for a long time, the little girl said embarrassedly, "Slaves, slaves can be eaten!" ”
The other little girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
Even Gu Tingcheng is a little embarrassed.
The amount of food is large, and it sounds good, saying that it is a blessing to be able to eat, and saying it badly is a rice bucket.
However, if you eat a lot of food, does it mean that you have a lot of strength?
Gu Tingcheng beckoned, called the chubby guest girl closer, and pointed to the desk in front of him, "Can you move?" ”
The chubby girl looks like she is seven or eight years old, and according to normal strength, she should be able to push more than a dozen pounds of items.
"Yes!"
The little chubby girl barely made any effort, and directly picked up the pure solid wood table with one hand!
PS: On the first day of March, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
