Chapter 155 156. Travel

What Gu Wenheng said was exactly what Gu Dashi wanted. Ever since the girl came home, the atmosphere at home has become worse and worse, making the old man so cold that he has to hide away every day.

Gu Dashi completely forgot that before Gu Yuanfeng came, he had only been able to go home a few times.

"That's right. If you can't control the expression on your face, then don't come out and embarrass yourself. Come back with me."

Gu Yuanfeng didn't dare to go against his own father. He just glared at Gu Wenheng fiercely, looked back at the yard unwillingly, and then slowly followed Gu Dashi.

"I don't know what this is," Gu Wenheng watched the person walk away before turning around and knocking on the door.

Jin Qianqian lifted the curtain and looked at the teams in front and behind, and there was no end in sight on either side.

However, when they just came here, they also understood the distribution of the entire team. Some guards from the escort agency were riding horses in front to lead the way, followed by the various caravans.

Because of Deng Yuanhang's identity, they were assigned to the middle.

This time, Wang Buyi not only brought his family, but also some of his most talented students from the academy.

Those who travel with their families rent carriages individually, while those who travel alone travel in groups of three or four and rent carriages.

Of course, the rules along the way were also set in a contract that they were handed over early on, which contained many strict rules and regulations.

Except when the team stops to cook, private parking is not allowed at other times.

But every few days, when passing through a big town, we would stop to replenish everyone's needs.

Jin Qianqian and the others also followed the crowd and tried to take as much pots, pans, and utensils as possible. This was several levels higher than when they fled from famine.

This carriage, which is three meters long, one and a half meters wide and one and a half meters high, is already the largest in the carriage business.

This carriage is probably designed to cater to customers who travel long distances, with some cabinets at the front and rear for personal belongings.

There is a square blanket in the middle, which can be used for rest at night.

Jin Qianqian filled the cabinet with all the things she brought with her. Some things could not fit in, such as charcoal-fired cookware, so they could only be simply piled in the corner.

After greeting the gentleman, Gu Wenheng lifted the heavy curtain and climbed in, sitting opposite Jin Qianqian. "It's really too cold today, I don't know if this stove can withstand it?"

Jin Qianqian looked at the pile of charcoal in the corner and said, "That depends on the speed of the team. There will always be some air leakage when this carriage is running. Fortunately, I brought a thick enough quilt. If it doesn't work, we can only cover ourselves up."

Gu Wenheng lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the rickshaw driver, Master Zhu, who was standing below and shaking his feet. He saw that he was wearing a cotton coat and a robe, wrapped in a thick layer of deerskin. From head to toe, only his two eyes were visible.

Seeing that Gu Wenheng was staring at him, Master Zhu nodded shyly, and then continued to shake his feet and move his limbs.

Gu Wenheng also smiled. At this time, he saw the flags in the distance were already moving. He knew that the time to set off was not far away. He lowered the curtain and leaned on the antique pillow that Jin Qianqian took out.

"This is our first trip in this ancient time. Should we write a travelogue?" Jin Qianqian was holding a travelogue written by a scholar of this dynasty.

Gu Wenheng took it and flipped through a few pages. "You can give it a try. Maybe you will be a future female literary giant."

"If you hadn't raised the corners of your mouth so high when you said this, I would have really believed the sincerity in your words." Jin Qianqian snorted, knowing that Gu Wenheng was teasing her.

Gu Wenheng moved the charcoal stove fixed in the corner and added two pieces of black charcoal. "There is nothing absolute in this world. It all depends on whether you want to do it or not."

Jin Qianqian shook her head like a rattle, "Forget it, I can't calm down now. Maybe when I'm old and can hardly walk, maybe this is possible."

Thinking of her own handwriting, Jin Qianqian glanced at her hands and said, "Alas, there is still a long way to go."

"...Here I am, here I am..."

"Let's go," Gu Wenheng said when he heard the escort agency's horn.

Jin Qianqian only felt the gravity pressing down on the front of the carriage, and knew that it was Master Zhu who jumped onto the front shaft. Before she could lift the curtain, the carriage had already started moving.

The creaking sound, although a bit noisy, still had a hint of rhythm.

Watching the long team going away, Xiao Dongzi clenched his hands nervously. In the days to come, he would have to support the family business of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Captain Li patted his head with amusement, "Don't worry! I have asked the brothers to go there every day. Just keep watch and wait for my brother Gu to come back. I will definitely not treat you badly. Don't be too nervous."

Xiao Dongzi held his head high and said, "I'm not nervous at all. Gu Xiucai and the others have done me a great favor. I will definitely help them manage everything in an orderly manner and will not let them down."

Li Yong gave him a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, you are grateful.

But don't force yourself to do anything. If you have any problem, just come to the government office to find me. If I'm not here, you can still do it in our county town as long as you tell me my name."

Xiao Dongzi bowed sincerely to Li Yong, then turned around and left quickly.

I knew the carriage would be bumpy, but after a whole day of bumps, even the usually strong Gu Wenheng secretly stroked his buttocks a few times.

Jin Qianqian was even more outrageous. She directly pulled out a thick quilt and lay on it. At this moment, she was lying on the quilt with a heartless smile, "If you don't listen to women, you will suffer the consequences. Besides, there are only two of us. What's wrong with not having a good image?"

Gu Wenheng was unwilling to admit that he had regretted it a long time ago. "I just wanted to challenge my limits. After all, this will be our travel equipment in the future. If I can't get used to it now, it will be embarrassing if I lose my composure in front of outsiders in the future."

Jin Qianqian sat up straight. "Actually, these carriages lack some shock-absorbing features. I seem to have seen drawings before. If we add a row of shock-absorbing springs under the carriage, there will be less bumps."

Gu Wenheng became interested, "How much do you remember?"

After all, this is my future benefit. If I can figure it out, I will suffer less.

Jin Qianqian proudly snapped her fingers and said, "If I hadn't applied for economics by mistake, I would have wanted to study design. I would have imitated and drawn many different design drawings.

These are all memorized in my mind, and I can draw the blueprints when I take a break during the journey."

Gu Wenheng, "My wife is amazing. She can learn and apply this right away.

But my lady, my husband always wears ready-made clothes from other shops. When will he be able to get clothes designed and made by you personally?"

Jin Qianqian looked at him quietly, stroking her chin with her hand, "Really? This wish can still be fulfilled, but you have to give me face when the time comes."

Gu Wenheng: "..." Is it not too late to regret now?
