Chapter 877 Every bit of pride is bought with your real money

Yan Ke explained for his master: "The craftsman has tried it with four people sitting on it, with one person pedaling in the front. It is relatively easy on a flat road. We have also tried it on snow and uneven ground, and there are no problems so far. But because the test time is not long, only about ten days, it is best not to have more than two people riding it on a normal day."

There is only one row of seats in the car, which is comfortable for two or three people. But if there are more people, the top will be light and the feet will be heavy. Also, because there is no chain in the middle of the wheel, it will be more difficult to pedal even with a power-assist structure.

Several older people went up to try it.

How should I put it? Compared to a horse-drawn carriage, I felt a lot shorter, just like sitting on the ground, which was a bit awkward, but once I got used to it, I felt it was very stable and comfortable.

Because it was said that the car was for Li Tingfang, Mingpeidi did not go up to try it out. Everyone looked around and gave various comments. Then the girl standing in the middle looked at this and that and couldn't help but urge: "We have already looked at the car. Have you come up with an idea?"

Everyone paused and looked at Li Tingfang.

Li Tingfang quickly said, "I just said that."

Xinbao's meaning was very clear. Originally, he wanted to hang out for a few days to arouse everyone's curiosity and then make a wonderful appearance...but he changed cars halfway through.

It was unveiled as planned, and then the car was replaced, but it felt a bit anticlimactic and the popularity could not be continued to the new car.

But if we take this car and wait a few days for its debut, it will feel like the delay is too long and everyone’s curiosity will fade.

Li Tingfang said, "Your Highness, the appearance of these two cars is too different. It is a bit difficult for the people to connect the two together. In my opinion, why don't I follow the previous plan and go out with Song Qing and stop the car in a busy place..."

Xinbao's eyes suddenly lit up: "And then Xinbao, no, not Xinbao, it was Second Brother who sent someone to deliver the car to you! Just say that Second Brother read your car-loving poem or something... Don't you all know how to say those nice words?"

Yan Shirong nodded with a smile.

Xinbao said, "When others ask, the person who sent the car can tell them that one is the first generation and this one is the second generation...Brother, if your eunuch can't talk, Xinbao can lend you Baiji! Xinbao's Baiji is very kind and can talk very well, great!"

The young eunuch Baiji was flattered and hurried out to kowtow and ask his master to confirm his identity.

Of course Yan Shirong knew him and said with a smile, "Okay."

So they agreed and went back.

Liang Ruoxu smiled and teased Xinbao: "Your Highness, I am thinking of a question... If Your Highness only wants to sell this car to dignitaries, then there is no need to go to so much trouble to create a hype. We naturally know how precious it is."

Xinbao walked forward and turned to glance at him.

That disdainful look made Liang Ruoxu laugh.

They were old acquaintances, so they were more casual with each other. Liang Ruoxu squatted down and picked her up, smiling and said, "I don't understand. Your Highness, please teach me."

"It's very simple!" Xinbao said, "For example, if you buy a car like this now, if the people don't know that this car is so expensive, they will say, look at that high official, he can't afford a horse or a carriage, so he can only ride a rickshaw like this... Isn't that very frustrating? You can't write how much money this car cost on the front of the car. But if every citizen knows how expensive your car is, then if someone says this, there will be a hundred people who will refute him immediately, what do you know, a hundred carriages are not as valuable as this one car! ! This is a Baojun car!!"

Liang Ruoxu: "..."

What a logical and vivid statement! He couldn't refute it at all!

Xinbao said in a sonorous voice: "Brother Liang, Xinbao is honest in doing business. To satisfy your desire to show off your wealth, you can sell an ordinary car at a sky-high price! Every bit of your pride was bought with your real money!!"

Ministers: “…”

Having said that, I inexplicably felt a little stupid.

Everyone went back together, and only when they reached the gate of the Qianqing Palace did Liang Ruoxu put the little princess down.

Emperor Mingpei walked into the house holding his granddaughter's hand and asked her, "Why don't you give this car to Yeye? Why give it to Li Tingfang?"

Xinbao said: "Because it's not good enough! Xinbao's Yeye must be the best."

Oh, that’s okay, so he let go and let his granddaughter play.

Although the second brother was joking, he actually took his sister's affairs very seriously. He even went out of his way to discuss the lines with Li Tingfang and rehearse the scene.

So, in the afternoon, Xinbao lent Li Songqing to Li Tingfang. The two of them left early, took Baojun's car, and went to the teahouse together.

Sure enough, as soon as this legendary car appeared, everyone was very interested.

Then the car door opened, and two handsome men, one old and one young, came out, and everyone's eyes widened.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The two chatted all the way as they entered the teahouse in a fairy-like manner. The Li family servant who stayed outside got out of the car and started to act as "Li Si", telling everyone who his master was, what kind of car this was, and why his master was allowed to sit in this car... Accompanying him was the little princess's Master Wen, who was so knowledgeable.

Because he was very friendly and talkative, people around him were not afraid of him and gathered around to listen, exclaiming from time to time.

In a blink of an eye, the news spread, and many people turned around to come and see.

Just when the news was at its hottest... not far away, a strange-looking car slowly drove over, with many people on horseback accompanying it for protection.

Soon, Baiji, who was responsible for delivering the message, entered the teahouse. The Longxiang Guards outside and the "coachman" in front also came over. The Li family servant immediately went over to talk, and then everyone knew, wow, it turned out that the words on the car were "Baojun Car Second Generation", which was the second generation of the previous car, bestowed by His Royal Highness the Grandson to Lord Li.

Someone asked: "Why do the first and second generations look so different? Are they not born from the same mother?"

Everyone laughed and waited for an answer. The Li family servant said with a smile, "I don't know about that. I just heard that this car was made by the little princess's subordinate, Congshan County Earl. The "Bao" represents the little princess, and the "Jun" means that there is a "Jun" in Congshan County Earl's name."

Everyone was amazed: "Wow!!"

Then Baiji came out and said modestly, "This is to prevent snow. Cars like the first generation Baojun car are suitable for slow travel, while cars like the second generation Baojun car are safer. No matter how heavy the snow or wind, it will not slip, let alone roll over. You can look at the wheels, there is Eucommia gum on them, and the windows are all glass windows..."

This is an authoritative interpretation for the people, and everyone immediately exclaimed once again: "Wow!!"

So the news spread quickly at lightning speed.

Xinbao was very satisfied after hearing Baiji's vivid learning, and he even went out of his way to praise Li Tingfang.

My enthusiasm for work instantly increased, and I tried hard to recall all the car knowledge in my mind, such as rearview mirrors, and wrote down whatever I thought of.

At noon, when everyone was sitting and waiting for lunch, she was still writing and drawing, so excited that she couldn't stop at all.
