Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 113 Vinegar Cloth
"Not good enough? Ah Qing, Ah Weng thinks you are doing well enough!"

Gu Heng was worried that his little granddaughter would get into a dead end, so he hurriedly praised her with a smile.

He knew that his little granddaughter had extremely strict requirements on him because of her appearance.

She has been reading and practicing calligraphy since she was three years old.

Children of the same age as her, let alone little girls, even young men cannot bear to sit on their knees for a long time.

But Aqing just gritted his teeth and endured it.

Kneeling and sitting for too long, both calves were numb, and I couldn't even stand up, so I had to be supported by the maid.

It is too cold in winter, even if there is a brazier and a smoker in the house, my hands are still red from the cold because of long-term writing.

If Princess Jiangling hadn't stopped her and ordered someone to take good care of her, Gu Qingcheng would probably suffer from frostbite.

The summer is so hot, the little man still kneels and reads with his back straight.

Seeing her hard work, everyone in the Gu family felt distressed and admired——

How old are you to be so restrained and work so hard?
In addition to her original tenacity, she may not have suffered from the pressure and pain caused by her lack of appearance.

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

Don't work so hard, don't be so tired, you are ugly, but Gu Qingcheng's surname is Gu.

Just relying on this surname, she has reached a height that many people can't reach in a lifetime of hard work.

And her relatives 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 carefree life, and don't burden themselves with too many shackles prematurely!

Especially now, the Gu family has undergone tremendous changes, and only the grandparent and grandson are left "depending on each other".

Gu Heng hoped that his granddaughter could "relax" properly and not push herself too hard.

"Aweng! I'm not blaming myself, but our oxcart really has room for improvement."

Gu Qingcheng was so smart, how could he not feel his grandfather's worry and distress?

With warmth in her heart, she smiled and said to Gu Heng, "The bullock cart is too bumpy, it's very uncomfortable to sit in it."

Pretending to be a child, she rubbed her buttocks, "After sitting for a long time, I felt sore and sore."

Gu Heng still looked distressed. How tiring could it be to ride in an ox cart?

My little granddaughter is someone who practices Sanfu in the summer and Sanjiu in the winter. She just sits down with her legs until they are numb.

She is not a delicate and fastidious person at all!

This child has always had high demands on himself, and now he feels sorry for his grandfather.

Alas, she is always so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Seeing that Gu Heng was still full of pity, Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to take out paper and a pencil (ancient pencil).

She drew sketches one by one on the paper with a pencil.

"Ah Weng, look, I was wondering if we could install some small mechanisms on the ox cart to reduce the bumps of the ox cart."

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

For a person who has lived in the mission world for more than 80 years, Gu Qingcheng has spanned two centuries.

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

So what if the memory was forcibly erased?
Her common sense, her instincts remained.

Relying on these, she may not be able to make thermal weapons or black technology, but it is still no problem to make some springs and modify the bullock cart.

And bullock carts and the like should not change history, and it is far from causing the world to collapse.

It is estimated that it is the main system, and it will not be too fussy if it finds out about Gu Qingcheng's little tricks!
"Oh? What kind of small mechanism can have such an effect?"

Gu Heng was not a rotten scholar.

He is a son of a well-educated and versatile family.

In addition to the orthodox subset of classics and history, he is interested in a lot of knowledge and technology.

He is proficient in music theory and is familiar with medical books. Gu Heng has also dabbled in wine making, ink making, Luban locks and other things that some people regard as "fantastic skills".

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

"This is a spring, made of fine iron. I just didn't know our craftsmen could do it!"

Gu Qingcheng was not fully sure.

The current technology is still very backward after all.

But, you can give it a try.

Gu Qingcheng believed in the technology and wisdom of the ancients (including Gu Qingcheng himself).

What they lack is probably the vision and knowledge limited by the times.

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

Gu Heng became interested, and like an old boy, he helped Gu Qingcheng search for craftsmen and purchase raw materials such as refined iron.

Seeing that his grandfather was no longer depressed, but became interested, Gu Qingcheng felt relieved.

The two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, didn't care about Zheng Mo's sad eyes, and stayed in the small town directly.

One day, two days... one month.

Under Gu Qingcheng's guidance, Gu Heng ordered the craftsman to actually pull out the iron wire and press it into a spring.

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

In addition, Gu Qingcheng remodeled 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-proof paint.

Inside the carriage, Gu Qingcheng added small organs such as partitions and drawers.

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

Several partitions are stowed away to free up space.

If it is put down, it is furniture such as dining tables and beds.

Gu Qingcheng also created a small space for the maid or servant to be alone.

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

Gu Qingcheng simply bought a strong adult cow and changed the two wheels into four wheels.

Zheng Mo looked confused: ...Well, this should have exceeded the limit.

Under the feudal dynasty, there were detailed regulations on who would wear what clothes and what kind of oxcart to make.

However, now is a troubled time, and the change of dynasties makes people caught off guard and dazzled.

The etiquette and music have collapsed, let alone some small rules?

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

Famous ministers and celebrities like Gu Heng have been driven out of the capital. Are they still not allowed to have a little temper?
With this thought, Zheng Mo no longer struggled.

Just pretend you can’t see it!

Zheng Mo continued to lead his subordinates and stayed in the small town. While watching the grandparents and grandchildren messing around, he also had to beware of the group of rangers causing trouble.

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! This bullock cart is really well rebuilt!"

Gu Heng participated in the rebuilding of the bullock cart, and when he saw the brand new bullock cart, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

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

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

The most wonderful thing is the shock absorption and waterproof function of the carriage.

With such an ox-cart, they no longer have to worry about potholes and rainwater when they are on the road.

"Other carriages have also been remodeled."

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

Gu Qingcheng: ... As long as Ah Weng is happy!Again, it does need remodeling.

Zheng Mo was already numb.

This pair of grandparents and grandchildren can really toss.

However, the remodeled carriage is indeed quite convenient.

If you encounter rainy days on the road, or if you are tired from riding a horse, you can also enter the carriage to rest!

If he thinks this way, he and Qian Niuwei's brothers can also benefit from it.

Zheng Mo suddenly felt more mentally balanced.

Forget it, let them do it.

On Chen Jing's side, there is no rule on how long Gu Heng must arrive in Lingnan.

As long as he leaves Jiankang and is no longer an eyesore to Chen Jing, this powerful minister probably won't care what the Gu family's ancestors and grandsons are doing, let alone how long they will continue to do so!
Fortunately, Gu Heng was interested, but he did not lose his sense of proportion.

After staying in the town for a full month, all the ox carts and horse carriages were renovated.

After purchasing some food, meat and eggs, Gu Heng finally decided——

"Let's go!"

Zheng Mo: ...Thank God!Finally, we can continue on our way!
Even those rangers are a little tired.

They are here to be guards and gain a good reputation, not just to mess around.

As people who are used to traveling around, they always nest in a small place, and they are so idle that they are going to grow hair.

The most important question is that their meals are provided by the inn.

Compared with the Gu family's exquisite meals, it's really nothing short of a star.

Damn, I miss the taste of Tongding mutton.

There are also those braised pork and fat intestines, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Alas, let’s hurry up as soon as possible.

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

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

The new-style bullock cart that has undergone shock absorption modification is indeed much more comfortable.

Gu Heng was sitting in his bullock cart, holding a volume of books in his hand, and steaming tea soup on the small shelf, looking at the scenery outside the window from time to time, feeling very happy.

Gu Qingcheng lay on the car window, looking at Qianniuwei and the rangers on both sides.

They are either riding horses or walking, and the speed is not slow.

He can travel thirty or thirty miles every day.

At noon, I would eat whatever I wanted on the roadside.

Gu Qingcheng prepared a lot of dried meat and meat sauce.During the days of staying in the small town, she also ordered people to cook a lot of stewed goods.

Stopping for lunch at noon, Gu Qingcheng distributed the lo mei he had prepared to You Xiaer and Qianniuwei.

Let the cook bake some pancakes, cut them, and add meat. The taste is amazing, not to mention how fragrant it is.

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

"As expected of the Gu family of Wu County, it really has a very rich background."

"This Roujiamo is really delicious!"

"More than that! Have you seen that the Gu family uses fine salt, unlike us soldiers who still use vinegar cloth!"

When Gu Qingcheng got out of the car for a walk, he listened to this sentence.

"Vinegar cloth? What is vinegar cloth?"

As a daughter of a distinguished family, she also has magical experiences.

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