"What can we do without Marco? It's not prestigious to go back without riding a horse."
Qin Chuan lowered his head and spoke to himself.
"Qin Chuan, can you ride a horse?"
Qin Chuan scratched his head when he heard Su Ruyan's question; he really couldn't ride a horse.
Seeing his reaction, a hint of loneliness and disappointment flickered in Su Ruyan's beautiful eyes...
Although Qin Chuan was a good man, capable of hiring an eight-bearer sedan chair and even considering riding a horse, he was not the peerless talent she had in mind. Thinking of this, that idea gradually lingered in her mind again...
Just then, Qin Chuan suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his mind, and the system's voice rang out.
[The host spent 15 taels of silver on his wife's wedding, and now he is getting a 100-fold return, which can be withdrawn as 1500 taels of silver.]
[It can also be converted into modern goods]
[Would you prefer ancient silver or modern goods?]
"That's a whole 6 million more!"
Qin Chuan's hands were trembling. This was terrifying!
"Does spending money on a wedding count as spending money on your wife, system?"
Yes, host.
Qin Chuan regretted it upon hearing this. He should have made the wedding more extravagant and spent all the money!
However, the system is already very helpful. I only spent 15 taels of silver and got 1500 taels back!
That's 1,500 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 6 million yuan in modern terms!
This time, Qin Chuan was smarter and wouldn't bring it up again.
With so much silver, there's nowhere to hide it, and it'll easily attract attention. Wouldn't that be courting death?
I just don't know if there were any silver notes or similar items in this dynasty. It would be more convenient to carry silver notes instead.
[Host, would you like to convert the silver into silver notes?]
The system could hear Qin Chuan's thoughts, so it asked.
"Let's not use it for now, we'll talk about it when we need it."
After saying that, the system continued:
[Host, since we couldn't rent a horse, why not consider other means of transportation?]
For example, subways, cars, motorcycles, electric bikes, bicycles, etc.
After the system said that, Qin Chuan slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! If we don't have a horse, we can buy a BMW!"
The "BMW" he mentioned refers to BMW cars.
[Host, the country roads are narrow and cars cannot travel on them. We would like to consider using other means of transportation.]
After being reminded by the system, Qin Chuan realized that this was an ancient society, and the county did not have the kind of double-drawn carriage "highway" built by Qin Shi Huang. In addition, the road was not smooth, so cars could not drive at all.
"Then let's get a motorcycle! Wait a minute, I'll find a secluded spot to get it!"
Qin Chuan used the excuse of needing to use the restroom to get to a secluded spot and summon a cool-looking motorcycle.
This motorcycle is entirely black, with a cool and sleek exterior that makes it extremely eye-catching.
The four-cylinder engine is powerful.
Moreover, the price is not expensive, only 50,000 yuan.
"Waaaaah... Boom boom...!"
With a twist of the refueling handle, a loud bang was heard, and it shot off in a flash!
The speed is astonishing!
"Woo... Roar!"
Qin Chuan let out a loud shout, feeling incredibly refreshed!
...
When he returned to find Su Ruyan, Old Hu, and the others, everyone stared in disbelief at his mount.
What is this?
Looking at the lump of iron in front of him, Old Hu's eyes were full of questions.
"This thing is called a BMW," Qin Chuan said.
Su Ruyan glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, as if to say: Do you think everyone else is stupid?
Qin Chuan coughed and said seriously, "This thing is not a BMW, but it is better than a BMW. Its speed can reach 500 kilometers per hour..."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Qin Chuan explained, "Uh, that means you can travel a thousand miles in half an hour!"
Hearing this, Su Ruyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again, as if to say: Keep making things up, keep making things up...
"Wife... don't look at your husband like that... by the way, you don't even want to call me husband, can you please call me husband?"
Hearing Qin Chuan say this, Old Hu and the villagers also looked at Su Ruyan.
Qin Chuan isn't stupid anymore. Miss Su shouldn't find it difficult to call Qin Chuan "husband," right?
To everyone's surprise, Su Ruyan hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject instead of calling him "husband": "You say your BMW can travel a thousand miles in half an hour, how can you prove it?"
Qin Chuan patted the seat behind him: "Wife, why don't you sit down and experience it for yourself?"
Although Su Ruyan's eyes showed some interest, she looked embarrassed and finally said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'd better ride in the sedan chair..."
After saying that, she took a few graceful steps and entered the sedan chair.
At this moment, a neighboring aunt took a red handkerchief and covered Su Ruyan's head with it.
Su Ruyan knew this was the rule, so she let the aunt cover it up.
"Hey, no! My wife, we're husband and wife, why are you saying such things? It's too formal!" Qin Chuan said speechlessly.
Old Hu, the village head, stroked his beard, chuckled, and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder: "Qin Chuan, haste makes waste. Wait until we get back to our bridal chamber before thinking about those things, hehe..."
After Old Hu finished speaking, he shouted "Lift the sedan chair!" and then the eight-bearer sedan chair set off.
"No, village head, I didn't mean that..."
Qin Chuan wanted to say something, but no one listened to him.
He could only sigh, twist the throttle, and ride his motorcycle to the front of the line.
At this moment, the passersby saw the following scene:
The groom at the head of the procession rode a metal contraption resembling a wooden horse, speeding along and glancing back every now and then...
Behind him were eight men carrying a red sedan chair, followed by two mule-drawn carriages...
The procession wasn't large, but it still attracted many passersby to stop and watch.
"Good heavens! What is this thing? How can it move at such lightning speed!"
"This iron lump that looks like a wooden horse is faster than a thoroughbred horse. Could it be the legendary 'Iron Horse'?"
"That's right, there's an ancient poem that says 'golden spears and iron horses,' so it must refer to those iron horses!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, who exactly is this person? How could they possibly possess this legendary iron horse?"
“Look closely, the one riding that iron horse… could it be Qin the Fool?”
"Qin really is a fool!"
"How does he know how to ride this iron horse? Doesn't he know how to ride a mule?"
"Have you heard? Apparently, Qin the Fool isn't a fool anymore!"
"This Qin idiot... isn't an idiot anymore?"
"That's right, I just heard about it too. Apparently, they're not stupid anymore..."
Qin Chuan was riding his motorcycle, and the engine was so loud that he couldn't hear the discussions. However, he could tell from the looks in the eyes of the passersby that they were talking about him.
The journey back to the distillery wasn't far. Even with the rough roads, it would only take ten minutes at most, if the motorcycle reached its maximum speed.
The procession carrying the sedan chair was slow, and Qin Chuan kept turning back every second, stopping and starting, taking a full hour to finally return to the winery.
