Chapter 143: The Secret of the Zheng Clan
Sent Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong away, and Runtu returned to the carriage: "Madam, please sit down, we are going down the mountain." β
His one board and one glance never exceeded the rules, like a layer of class barriers between them, he regarded her as the general's wife, not flattering or evading.
She felt that she shouldn't be strong, and since he wanted to keep his distance, she respected his ideas, so she kept basic politeness and didn't talk too much.
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as the carriage moved, the whole carriage began to shake.
The side windows of the upper cover roll the ground with the wheels, swaying from side to side, just like sitting on a rocking car.
Zheng Quqi pressed his arm on the crossbar, trying to maintain his balance and not let his body shake with the car.
She secretly decided that she had to make a horse-drawn cart as soon as possible.
After selling the money, I will equip myself with a trip, and I must not take this kind of rocking car, or I will suffer from the old sin if I go a long way.
To say that she saves a lot of money than others in building cars, she does not spend money on research and development, she does not need money to engage in design, and she takes care of all the structural frameworks and parts and components.
Now the wheels are outsourced to the wheelman, the copper horn exterior and the wheel hoop are outsourced to the blacksmith, and the rest of the carriage, wheels and other parts, she makes the wood and paints it herself, and even the public opinion and the wheel are all done by herself.
She originally thought that she would make a lot of money with this car, but later she felt that it was really unrealistic to do it on her own, and it was easy to cause trouble for herself.
First, she didn't have a production line, and she wanted to mass-produce vehicles, which was a fool's dream.
Second, she has no sales channels and no transportation channels, and if she doesn't have enough money and connections to get through the checkpoints, the poor can't afford it, and the rich can't buy it.
Three to ......
In short, she didn't want her to spend her old nose to develop and build a car, and in the end it could only be circulated in her hands, so she decided-
Since she can't make it alone, she will pull sponsorship.
As the saying goes, fertile water does not flow into outsiders' fields, of course, the most important thing is that the most powerful person she knows is Yu Wensheng, he is rich, and he also raises a group of craftsmen, isn't this just the right place and people for the whole day?
As a developer, how many cars can she build in a year with her own hands?
But with these 5,000 craftsmen, it will be different, even if Yu Wensheng leaks so many hundreds of people to borrow her from between her fingers, then she can open a local car factory and make a fortune.
So after solving the first and second problems, the third problem follows.
That's fame.
If you want to sell a good quality thing to the market, you must first promote its fame.
Because the reputation of Ye Guo's manufacturing is really too stinky, relying on ordinary methods is not only slow to work, but also not necessarily useful.
Although the aroma of wine is not empty and the alley is deep, but according to the current situation, she is poor, and Ye Guo is not having a good time, so let's not waste that time.
Therefore, she didn't bother to think about participating in the preliminary competition of the Jichun Craftsman Union, and directly got the car right, isn't it just a ready-made exhibition work?
At the Craftsmen's Union, the craftsmen of the Seven Kingdoms gathered in one place, and the attention of the Seven Kingdoms was focused on this, but whenever there was a little bit of trouble, there was no chance to publicize her car.
Zheng Quqi sat in the car, and in order to pass the time, he turned these things over and over again, and thought about them carefully.
ββ
The moon is bright and the stars are thin, the cold air envelops the earth, and the carriage rolls through two deep ruts on the country road.
The butt was so upside down that he couldn't stand it, Zheng Quqi shouted to stop, and planned to get out of the car and walk back by himself.
It's not that she's hypocritical, it's not a rush or an escape, she has to take a carriage to suffer this crime, she is not afraid of being tired, she just walks slowly on two legs, and she can walk home.
Runtu stopped: "Madam, if the carriage is not suitable, then it is better to ride a horse, otherwise when you reach Hegou Village, you are afraid that the night will be cold and cold." β
After thinking about it for a while, she was not alone at the moment, and she couldn't bother people to run the soil and walk in the countryside with her, so Zheng Quqi agreed.
But there is one thing that must be explained in advance: "That Rundu Governor...... I don't know how to ride a horse, so I can only trouble you. β
ββ¦β¦β
The general's wife can't ride a horse?!
If the general knew, would he feel that he was too close to the general's wife, and did not remember the sentence he confessed: "Although the lady is kind to others, you need to remember your duty and guard the boundary"?
No, he must not live up to the trust of the general.
"Madame and get on the horse first, the subordinates have a skill, you can lead a horse on the side, two horses drive side by side, although the speed is not as fast as a horse galloping, but it is faster than walking."
ββ¦β¦ Runqi Governor, it's really powerful. β
She must learn to ride a horse, or if something happens in the future, I can't ride a horse, won't I be disgusted to death?
"That Runqi Governor, you must be superb in riding, or can you give me a little pointer, the key to horseback riding? I've ridden a few times before, and I'm not a complete novice, but I always feel a little intimidated by solo riding, and I don't dare to run hard. β
Runtu looked at the black light at the moment, but Madame made such a request of "diligence and studiousness", he was silent for a moment, and said, "Of course." Madame, sit first on the horse's back, sit down with the strength of your lower back, relax your feet, step on the stirrups with assistance, and do not lift your heels......"
After teaching Zheng Quqi the basic essentials of riding, Runtu said: "These horses pulling carts are gentle and tame, and they are the most suitable for beginners, but they are ......."
Zheng Quchi, who was sitting on the horse, was groping and feeling the riding secret of Professor Runtu, and when he heard this, he turned his head: "But what? β
"But, ma'am, are you sick on weekdays?"
Zheng Quqi shook his head: "It's good right now." β
Although Aunt Ling (Mei Ruoling) said that she had a hidden disease and needed to be recuperated, otherwise it would deteriorate to the whole body, but she really has no problem now, and she can jump and jump.
"Ma'am, do you have palpitations or anything like that?"
His questions were all odd: "No." β
"That's good......"
He stepped on the horse in a chic and neat manner, and then told Zheng Quqi: "Madam, the most important thing if you want to practice equestrianism well is to practice on the spot, believe in yourself and believe in the horse." β
Zheng Quqi had a question mark on his head: "Oh, yes, so ......"
"So don't worry, madam, your subordinates will definitely save you before you fall off your horse." Runtu said solemnly.
Zheng Quqi, who suddenly realized what he was going to do, his expression stiffened and twitched: "No, no, you wait a minute, I still need to be mentally prepared-"
However, Runtu is a strict master, he doesn't think that people who have ridden a horse a few times still need any psychological preparation, so the cold-blooded ruthless slapped a palm on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was startled, and immediately raised his hooves and ran out like an arrow.
"-"
Zheng Quqi's eyes widened, gritting his teeth, like a seagull flying in the wind and waves, his two hands grasped the two reins, one end of the reins was pressed with his thumb, and the other end was clamped with his ring finger and little finger, trying to maintain balance and not be thrown out.
Runtu, you'd better do what you say, catch her before she gets thrown off the horseβ
ββ
When he returned home, Zheng Quqi's legs were already weak, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were shaking, and he looked like he had been devastated.
The only good news is that she feels that she can finally ride a horse, and she has some insight into riding, which of course, is a valuable experience accumulated from several times when she almost didn't break her neck.
Sure enough, if people are not driven to a desperate situation, they don't know how much potential they have.
I don't blame Runtu, who called himself not long-sighted, didn't see that the other party was actually a devil teacher who only wanted efficiency and results, and asked for advice from him.
Seeing that the lights in the room were all extinguished, Zheng Quqi thought that Brother Sang was asleep, so he prepared to go to the kitchen to see if there were any leftovers left and fill his stomach.
As soon as the pot was opened, I saw Brother Sang wearing a robe, holding a lamp, lifting the curtain and walking in: "It's the ruler who is back, why are you so late?" β
As soon as he looked up, in the lamplight, he saw a strange young man standing there stunned, carrying a wooden lid in one hand and a bowl in the other.
"Who are you?!"
Brother Sang was startled, put the lamp on the stove, and subconsciously leaned his leg and picked up the firewood knife from the pyre.
Seeing that the eldest brother was planning to split his sister with his hot hands, Zheng Quqi hurriedly blocked the wooden cover in front of him: "Don't, brother, I'm your sister." β
"Where did the thief come from! Don't think I'm a cripple who can break into my house and steal food! β
"Brother, be quiet, don't wake up my sister, can't you hear me?" Zheng Quqi said helplessly.
Hearing her mention "my sister", Brother Sang calmed down, but he heard it, and he stared at the stranger in front of him suspiciously: "...... Ruler? β
Zheng Quqi hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, it's me, brother, you hurry up and put down the firewood knife." β
It's really her.
Brother Sang frowned, his eyes were surprised, "Why did you become like this?" β
"Brother, this is Yi Rong, have you heard of it?"
After hearing it, Brother Sang put down the firewood knife and began to ask: "Who gave you Yi's appearance?" Why do you want to be disguised? Didn't you say to go out and run errands? β
"Brother, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat, let's talk while eating?"
"There is a chicken stewed for you in the pot, which has been simmered on low heat, so you can eat a bowl when you are hungry, by the way, what about Fengmian?"
Zheng Quqi said: "He didn't come back, there are many things in the camp, and he is still busy." β
"So it's so late, you came back by yourself?"
"No, he sent someone to send me back, by the way, I'll bring him another bowl."
"Who is it? Do you leave people outside the door? "Brother Sang, this is accusing her of being ignorant.
Zheng Quqi scooped two bowls of fragrant chicken, she shrugged her shoulders, and said: "Brother, he refused to come in, he had to send me back to the camp tomorrow morning, so he didn't leave, that person looked like a very well-behaved, and very principled person, I said it, but I couldn't persuade him at all, I will send him a bed and futon and chicken in a while, and it shouldn't be a big problem to be in the carriage for one night." β
After listening to her explanation, Brother Sang didn't say much: "You rest first, I'll send it." β
After placing the moist soil, Zheng Quqi and Brother Sang were at the dinner table, and she said while gnawing on the chicken legs: "Brother, how much money do you have left?" β
"Don't worry, you haven't used up what you gave before."
"Don't be too provincial, my sister is still growing her body, and you can't stop applying the medicine to your legs, otherwise you won't even be able to sleep well on this wet and cold day."
Brother Sang waved his hand: "Okay, I know the arrangements for these things, you better talk about your business, what are you going to do again?" β
Her current face is much better looking than the little black face of "Sang Xuanqing" before, but it is very unfamiliar, and she can't even find a little bit of her original appearance, as if she has completely changed her face.
A lot of words were brewed, and in the end, when Zheng Quqi looked at the worried, sad and quiet eyes of Brother Shangsang, he couldn't open his mouth when he lied, so he could only tell the truth: "Brother, I want to go to Julu Country to participate in the Jichun Craftsman Union." β
Brother Sang was stunned for a while before he said, "You said, you want to join the Jichun Craftsman Union?" β
Zheng Quqi put down his bones, pursed his lips, and said with a tangled expression: "Yes." Brother, in fact, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you, and that is ......"
"If you want to go, go there."
Brother Sang interrupted Zheng Quqi's words and stopped, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother, won't you stop me?" β
"You've grown up and have big ideas, I can't stop you, but you have to promise your eldest brother that you won't put yourself in danger, you know?" Brother Sang said sternly.
Zheng Quqi was in a somewhat complicated mood, she looked at the chicken soup in the bowl with oil slicks: "I may not be able to guarantee it before, but now I am not alone, Fengmian will protect me, so big brother, you don't always have to worry about whether I will be safe outside." β
In the past, she and Yu Wensheng were enemies, so she lived trembling every day, for fear that one day she would be exposed to the identity of the fine work and be dismembered by him and die tragically.
But now, due to her outstanding "performance", she has gotten rid of the identity of the bottom two or five boys, and she is mixed with the general's wife, she believes that her safety should be appropriate.
Speaking seriously, Yu Wensheng seems to have saved her several times indirectly or directly.
But every time, it was in a chaotic, antagonistic, and estranged situation, so she didn't really thank him once.
Seeing her look stunned, Brother Sang sighed: "Ruler, I know, you have a lot of secrets that you can't tell Big Brother, but Big Brother hopes that you always have someone who can share your pressure." β
"Big brother, can I ask you something?"
"What's the matter?"
Zheng Quqi seemed to think about it for a long time, and finally let it go and said: "We are not actually surnamed Sang, but should be surnamed Zheng, right, our parents are disciples of the Mo family, but because they have a very important thing in their hands and did not give it to the Mo family, they will be persecuted by the Mo family to Fu County......"
Brother Sang's face changed suddenly: "You don't have to worry about these things, it's enough for you to just concentrate on what you want to do now." β
"But brother, the Mo family has already found me."
Brother Sang's pupils shook.
Zheng Quqi did not stop, but vented the words in his heart at one time: "In the early years, my father and mother did not explain anything, so they sent me to Uncle Sang of Shangyuan, at that time I was found by the people of the Mo family, in order to be able to survive, I promised to work for them in the future, until I was five years old, they have been secretly training me as a spy assassin, until a few years ago, I was allowed to return to Fuxian to reunite with you. β
"Haven't you been learning carpentry at Uncle Sang's house!?"
He stood up suddenly, his face pale.
"Brother, can you tell me what the Mo family has always wanted to get from their parents?"
