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

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

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

She started reading and practicing calligraphy when she was three years old.

Children of her age, let alone little girls, even little boys, cannot endure kneeling for a long time.

But Aqing gritted his teeth and endured it.

He had been kneeling for so long that his calves became numb and he could not even stand up. He had to be supported by his maid.

It was too cold in the winter. Even though there were braziers and fumigation cages in the house, my hands were still frozen red from writing for a long time.

If Princess Jiangling had not stopped her and ordered people to take good care of her, Gu Qingcheng would probably have gotten frostbite.

Even though it was so hot in the summer, the little guy still knelt with his back straight and read.

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

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

In addition to her original strong character, she also suffered from the pressure and pain caused by her loss of appearance.

After witnessing Gu Qingcheng's diligence, hard work, and astonishing self-discipline, everyone in the Gu family tried to persuade her to lower her expectations of herself without hurting Gu Heng's self-esteem.

Don’t work so hard, don’t be so tired. Although you are ugly, Gu Qingcheng’s last name is Gu.

Just by relying on this surname, she has reached a height that many people would never be able to reach in their entire lives.

And her family members never despised her.

From Gu Heng to the Grand Princess of Jiangling and the third generation, they only hope that Gu Qingcheng can live a more carefree life and not burden herself with too many shackles too early!

Especially now, the Gu family has suffered a huge change, and only the grandparents and grandchildren are left to "depend on each other."

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

"Aung! I'm not being hard on myself, but our ox cart really needs improvement."

Gu Qingcheng is so smart, how could she not feel her grandfather’s worry and heartache?

Her heart was warm, and she smiled and said to Gu Heng, "The oxcart is too bumpy, and it's very uncomfortable to sit in it."

She pretended to be childish and rubbed her butt, "I've been sitting for a long time, it's sore and painful."

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

My little granddaughter trains hard in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, and she even kneels down and sits until her legs are numb.

She is not a pampered or fussy person at all!

This child has always been demanding of 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's eyes were still full of pity, Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to take out paper and pencil (the ancient version of pencil).

She drew sketches on paper with a pencil.

"Aunt, look, I'm thinking about whether we can add some small mechanisms to the ox cart to reduce the bumps."

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

For someone who has lived in the mission world for more than eighty years, Gu Qingcheng has spanned two centuries.

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

So what if my memory was forcibly erased?

Her common sense, her instincts, were still there.

With these, she might not be able to create hot weapons or come up with advanced technology, but she should have no problem making some bullets and modifying an oxcart.

And ox carts and the like probably won't change history, let alone cause the world to collapse.

It is probably the main system that discovered Gu Qingcheng's little trick, but it won't take it too seriously!

"Oh? What kind of little mechanism can be so effective?"

Gu Heng is not some pedantic scholar.

He is a man of aristocratic family who is knowledgeable, versatile and multi-talented.

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

He was proficient in music theory and familiar with medical books. He even dabbled in things that some people considered to be "strange and tricky" such as wine making, ink making, and Lu Ban locks.

When he saw the sketches drawn by Gu Qingcheng, he did not scold his granddaughter for "not doing her job properly". Instead, he was very curious.

"This is a spring, made of fine iron. I just don't know if our craftsmen can make it!"

Gu Qingcheng was not completely sure.

The current technology is still very backward.

But, you can give it a try.

Gu Qingcheng believes in the technology and wisdom of these ancient people (including Gu Qingcheng herself).

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

"Interesting! Interesting! Let's give it a try."

Gu Heng became interested and, like an old child, helped Gu Qingcheng to recruit craftsmen and purchase raw materials such as fine iron.

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

The two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, ignored Zheng Mo's resentful look and stopped in the town.

One day, two days...a month.

Under Gu Qingcheng's guidance, the craftsman that Gu Heng had someone find actually pulled out the iron wire and pressed it into a spring.

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

In addition, Gu Qingcheng renovated the carriage.

The volume of the carriage was further expanded, a thin layer of iron sheet was added to the outside of the carriage, and waterproof and rust-proof paint was applied.

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