But soon, this open-mindedness was completely replaced by another strong emotion—curiosity.
What exactly is this mysterious "car" that they keep mentioning?
Lin Fu's mind raced with all sorts of bizarre and fantastical images.
Could that car really be as fast as they described, even faster than a horse-drawn carriage? That's beyond imagination!
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and an irrepressible desire welled up in his heart, making him wish he could see that magical object with his own eyes immediately.
He seemed to see himself sitting in that magical car, speeding down the highway, the scenery on both sides rushing past, and that speed and passion captivated him.
However, he was also well aware that King Jinrui Zhao always acted discreetly and cautiously, and that mysterious "carriage" would most likely not be made public easily.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Fu couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of envy in his eyes as he looked at Yao Guang and the guards of the Qin family.
These people, who had been following King Jinrui Zhao around like shadows for a long time, undoubtedly had a better chance of witnessing the magical chariot than he did.
If you're incredibly lucky, you might even get to ride it yourself and experience the thrill of high-speed travel.
Lin Fu wondered to himself whether he would be so lucky during his stay in Jinxiu County, able to satisfy this intense curiosity.
He silently considered whether he should find a suitable opportunity to subtly express his wishes to King Jinrui Zhao, hoping there might still be a glimmer of hope.
With this beautiful vision and expectation in mind, Lin Fu calmed himself down.
He raised his hand and carefully straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, patted the dust off his body, and made himself look more energetic.
He took a deep breath, a confident and composed smile returned to his face, and he strode forward with firm and powerful steps.
He followed closely behind Qin Qianluo, and together they stepped through the tall and majestic city gate of Jinxiu County.
Inside the city gates, unknown wonders and opportunities seemed to be quietly awaiting their arrival.
At the city gate, people came and went, creating a lively scene.
The air was filled with the aroma of cooking, as if telling the story of the unique charm of this land, and everything was so exciting.
Qin Qianluo's trip to Jinxiu County was driven by a deep desire to explore the realities of people's lives.
He did not reveal a single word to the prefect, focusing solely on concealing his whereabouts, wanting to observe the various aspects of life in this land from the purest perspective.
As soon as you step through the city gate, a bustling and lively street comes into view.
The shops along the street are arranged in an orderly fashion, with signs everywhere. Each shop is spotless, and the level of cleanliness is even better than that of shops in Beijing.
The people coming and going, regardless of age or gender, all looked radiant, their faces beaming with simple, contented smiles, and their steps light and unhurried.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qin Qianluo's eyes lit up, her lips curled up, and she nodded in satisfaction, gaining an initial and profound recognition of the governance achievements of Jinxiu County.
Lin Fu was equally stunned by the scene before him, his eyes filled with shock and amazement, and he couldn't help but look around.
If he hadn't known he was in Jinxiu County, he would have found it hard to believe that in just a few years, this county, which had once been dilapidated and impoverished, had transformed into a place where people suffered hardship.
Such a tremendous change has taken place; its current prosperity far surpasses that of the capital.
Along the way, everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, full of novelty and interest in everything around them.
They strolled along, stopping occasionally to admire the unique handicrafts on the street. The exquisite wood carvings, with every texture, seemed to tell the story of the craftsman's painstaking efforts.
Sometimes, the enticing aromas wafting through the air draw people in, causing them to stop and sample the local delicacies sold by the villagers.
The soft, sweet osmanthus cake has a delicate texture that spreads on the tongue with every bite, sweet but not cloying.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fried pork has a golden and crispy outer skin that wraps around tender and juicy pieces of meat. Every bite is accompanied by a wonderful "crunch" sound, making it unforgettable.
As everyone savored the food, they praised it highly, and laughter echoed in every corner of the street, revealing a leisurely and contented mood.
Outside the bustling city center, several elegantly decorated and impressive horse-drawn carriages were quietly waiting by the roadside.
This was the carriage sent by the Prince's Palace to welcome them; it was worlds apart from the simple carriages they had temporarily purchased from the frontier.
Lin Fu, filled with anticipation and curiosity, carefully sat down in the carriage that had been carefully prepared for him.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration, once again expressing his deep respect for King Jinrui Zhao's wisdom and ingenuity.
The wheels are tightly wrapped in a layer of tough and elastic leather, so that even if the road surface is slightly rough, the people inside the car will not feel any bumps when traveling.
It felt like sailing on a calm lake, smooth and peaceful.
The interior of the carriage is extremely spacious and has a reasonable and cozy layout. Even if six people sit facing each other, they will not feel crowded or cramped, and everyone can stretch out comfortably.
It was early summer, and the air was still slightly hot, but stepping into the carriage felt like entering a cool world. A gentle breeze caressed my face, making me feel incredibly comfortable.
Upon closer inspection, the coolness was found to be emanating from beneath the seats, a clever design that completely dispelled the stuffiness.
The seats are made of premium soft leather, which is soft and textured, and the large size is enough to comfortably seat two adults.
It also thoughtfully comes with equally soft and thick backrests, which instantly dispel fatigue when you lean against them. The seats on both sides of the carriage are also the same, neat and symmetrical, showing exquisite comfort.
Inside the carriage is a small, exquisite tea table, on which sits a set of elegant tea utensils.
