Although Zheng Quchi's initial design envisioned a purebred white or black horse, in her narrow-minded view, she considered such horses to be more sophisticated and high-class.
But now she's not picky anymore. People who are immersed in dreams have returned to reality. She's grateful if someone is willing to lend her a horse to pull her cart, otherwise she'll have to pull the cart herself.
She definitely couldn't accept the horse. Although Fu Rong said he would give it to her, she had helped him voluntarily and had her own reasons. She couldn't accept gifts from others.
If Yuwen Sheng decides to use it as an entry in the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild competition, then naturally he will be responsible for providing the horses to pull the carriage.
After leading the horse back, Zheng Quchi saw many people standing outside the curtain, peeking in and asking questions. She also overheard what they were saying.
She thought to herself, "So when men gossip, they're like a bunch of male ducks quacking, making a racket that hurts your ears."
However, by analyzing their conversation, she also learned why they had gathered there.
"Excuse me, I need to go in."
Her request startled the chattering craftsmen, who immediately turned around to look.
Then they saw a young man named "Aqing" leading two old brown horses toward them.
These two skinny old horses, could they have been used to pull a carriage?
Not to say it's shabby, but rather that it's beneath their notice.
There was a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
They watched as Aqing led the horse inside without looking to the side, and then a new round of rumors and mockery erupted.
"Ah Qing, you're back. Did you manage to borrow the horse?"
Inside the tent, Mu Gaoyi and the others, who were waiting anxiously, rushed to greet Aqing as soon as he entered.
"I borrowed it."
She raised her chin and gestured behind her.
Although they weren't very satisfied with the pair of old, skinny horses, feeling they would make their chariot look weaker, they also knew that Ah Qing was lucky to have borrowed the horses so quickly.
"Leave it to me, I'll put it on right away."
An excited craftsman stepped forward to do the work.
Zheng Quchi nodded and handed the horse to him.
Only then did she slowly ask, "What's going on with those people outside?"
"Someone leaked the news; they're all here to watch the show."
Zheng Quchi asked in surprise, "What kind of show do we have that they can watch?"
"So you're here to see something unusual, huh?" Mu Gaoyi chuckled dryly.
Zheng Quchi nodded as if she understood, and said, "Have you ever seen any kind of machine that can be put into use immediately after assembly without being adjusted? Especially since this is our first time building a car."
Her question stumped everyone.
Seeing that they couldn't answer, Zheng Quchi continued, "In a little while, perhaps, possibly, probably, we'll be laughed at to the point of being utterly ashamed. Are you ready?"
What should we prepare?
Is it shameful?
No, they were all preparing for their moment of glory, but now a bucket of cold water has been poured on them. How could they possibly be ready?!
"etc……"
Zheng Quchi grinned, his white teeth flashing coldly: "No need to wait, let's begin."
