Chapter 279: Poor Princess (Part 28)
Hmm? Gu Qingcheng keenly sensed that someone was peeping at her.
She turned her head slightly to one side while lifting her hair, and glanced around quickly out of the corner of her eye.
In the end, she only saw a black Audi speeding away from her and a license plate number starting with "京" hanging on the back of the car.
Gu Qingcheng remained calm and silently memorized the license plate number.
After returning to Peking University, Gu Qingcheng received the activity schedule from the teacher in charge.
Because it was close to the opening ceremony, many students and teachers in the school were selected to participate in the event.
Therefore, this summer camp seems much more monotonous.
However, all the necessary projects are still there.
Calligraphy, poetry and literature discussions, debates... Gu Qingcheng also saw an activity to visit the Forbidden City to observe the restoration of cultural relics.
Cultural relics restoration?
Gu Qingcheng's eyes fell on these words.
She suddenly had an idea.
After coming to this novel world, Gu Qingcheng has been wondering which skill to extract?
You know, every time she experiences a novel world, except for the extracted skill, all the emotions, memories, knowledge, etc. experienced in this world will be erased.
Although it is not a one-size-fits-all eradication, it always leaves a vague shadow and has become a kind of "common sense."
But, returning to her time and space, this vague knowledge could not bring any substantial help.
Just like modern people, everyone knows that cars rely on engines, but they may not all understand the principles and structures.
Even if we go back to ancient times, it would be impossible to make a car by hand.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng could directly extract a technology related to automobile manufacturing.
But the technology is too advanced beyond that of this world, and even if she knew it, she would not be able to replicate it.
The implementation of many technologies is based on the entire industrial system.
It is impossible for Gu Qingcheng to create a "miracle" by herself with only one skill.
"You must choose a skill that conforms to the objective conditions of this world and can also promote this world."
Gu Qingcheng told herself this.
The logic is simple, and she has a clear context.
But reality is not so humane. It is impossible for you to get something tailor-made for whatever you want! During the time Gu Qingcheng came here, she was preparing for the task while considering what skills to extract.
At this moment, she had an idea.
On the day of the Forbidden City activity, Gu Qingcheng also applied to participate.
The itinerary of the summer camp is different from that of ordinary tourists.
They can enter places that are not open to the public and watch experts restore antiques, calligraphy and paintings up close.
Gu Qingcheng watched the whole process and saw some restoration techniques that incorporated high-tech means. She became more determined in her choice.
"Misfortune!"
Gu Qingcheng used her mind to pull the disaster out of the small dark room.
"……exist!"
Huoshui responded weakly.
Woohoo, you always treat me as a tool to be thrown away after use, I will feel sad too!
Gu Qingcheng didn't have the time to waste on a pretentious little idiot, so she went straight to the point, "I want to extract all the skills for cultural relic restoration!"
"ah?"
Huoshui didn't react for a moment.
“Cultural relic restoration?”
Isn't her own executor the almighty Queen of Heaven? Although she behaves gentle, respectful and yielding, this is her upbringing, not her nature.
Although Huoshui is always despised by Gu Qingcheng as a mentally retarded creature, it is still very intelligent.
It realized that Gu Qingcheng still had strict class concepts in her bones.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that Gu Qingcheng is good at “enjoying”.
She has experienced several small worlds of awakening and liberation, but she does not agree from the bottom of her heart that "all men are created equal."
She still likes to be served.
She had no sense of equality or freedom, and when she returned to this world, she was still accustomed to being served and cared for by slaves and maids.
In this regard, the cause of the disaster is understandable.
Gu Qingcheng is an ancient native and a noble lady from aristocratic family.
Concepts of class, nobility and inferiority, etc., are all deeply rooted in her soul.
Gu Qingcheng, who was used to being "noble", actually chose the skill of "craftsman".
This was even more surprising to Huoshui than the fitters and other technicians in the previous world.
In the previous world, Gu Qingcheng would become a master chef and engage in the "work" among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, mainly due to the restrictions of the tasks.
But this time, Gu Qingcheng has reversed the original owner's labels of being greedy, vain, and a gold digger. As long as she continues to be a noble writer, she will be able to complete it successfully.
Why does she still want to be a "craftsman"? "Yes! This time and space should have such technology."
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about Huoshui's doubts and asked directly.
"have!"
Huoshui instinctively answered, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to be a cultural relic restorer?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
I've been told you're mentally retarded, but you still refuse to admit it! I have the skills to restore cultural relics, so do I have to work in related fields? Can't I just be an expert in "paper talk"?! What I want is the relevant technology, and what I want is to understand the history of more than 2,000 years that has passed through cultural relics.
Perhaps, the history of this time and space is different from the world we live in.
But the laws of history are the same.
Gu Qingcheng always gets what she wants from it! Gu Qingcheng said nothing, and silently "watched" the disaster with her spiritual sense.
Huoshui couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly said: "Alright. The cultural relic restoration skill has been extracted!"
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng gave Huoshui a satisfied look.
Then, she redeemed the skill.
Then, huge amounts of information flooded into her brain.
The history of cultural relics, the manufacturing techniques of various dynasties, and the high-tech restoration methods that will appear in the next decade or so...
Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng had experience and had made preparations in advance, so her brain was not overwhelmed by such a large amount of information.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It took her more than ten minutes to receive all the information and she began to digest it quickly.
"Hmm? So that's how it is!"
"…In fact, there is another way!"
Having learned the most advanced, systematic and comprehensive cultural relics restoration skills, Gu Qingcheng went to see the staff at work again and had a completely new feeling and a higher level.
She had an inspiration! After returning to Kyoto University, she borrowed a library card from her teacher and plunged into the ocean of historical knowledge.
She knew the history before her dynasty.
She also had a vague idea of the history that followed.
But this time, she had a very clear understanding! Through the inheritance and changes of cultural relics, she also had a very deep understanding of each dynasty.
We have also become more and more familiar with the production technology, scientific and technological progress, etc. of a certain dynasty.
"Little classmate, are you interested in ancient history?"
Gu Qingcheng stayed in the library for several days in a row. Her extremely high looks, her hard work, and her focus on "niche" topics made it difficult for her to ignore others' attention.
That day, an old man with gray hair came to Gu Qingcheng's seat.
Gu Qingcheng raised her head when she heard this, "Yes!"
"Oh, then tell me, what do you think of the taxation systems of past dynasties?"
The old man was studying this topic and asked casually.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Hey, I really understand this!
As a person in power who was in charge of government affairs, she had implemented land tax reform when she and Yuwen Heng ruled the country together.
During this period, Gu Qingcheng read too many history books and gained an in-depth understanding of the land policies implemented by subsequent dynasties, such as the Equal Field System, the Rent and Labor System, the Two Tax System, the Single Whip System, etc.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng is the one in a higher position, and she can interpret these laws from the perspective of the ruling class.
"Hmm? What you said is quite interesting!"
The old man was quite surprised after listening to Gu Qingcheng's eloquent talk.
When these later scholars studied a certain policy of a certain dynasty, they mostly considered it from the perspective of the vast majority of farmers and the entire society.
The little classmate in front of me is commenting on the pros and cons from the perspective of a feudal ruler.
This is quite interesting!
"My dear classmate, are you from the history department? What year are you in? Are you interested in becoming my graduate student?"
The old man was attracted by the talent and began to actively recruit him.
Gu Qingcheng said with a little shyness, "I'm not from the history department. I'm a sophomore majoring in Chinese language and literature at S University. This time I'm here to attend the Beijing University summer camp!"
Old man: ...
It would be fine if he wasn't a student of Kyoto University, but he was actually studying another major.
However, literature and history are inseparable, and it is not too exaggerated that those who study Chinese like history.
“I like history, so if I have the chance, I will do graduate work in ancient history.”
Gu Qingcheng said seriously.
"Like history?"
As a professor of history and an expert on Ming history, the old man is not someone who can be easily fooled.
He smiled and said, "Then write a paper. The topic is the pros and cons of the Two Tax System and the Single Whip System."
As he spoke, the old man took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down his name and email address. "Send it to this email address when you're done!"
The old professor does love talent, but his graduate student places are also very precious.
He had to confirm whether this beautiful girl in front of him was really talented and not just a show-off! At this point, Gu Qingcheng couldn't play dumb anymore.
This old man is definitely not some idle grandfather, but a professor at Kyoto University.
Gu Qingcheng stood up and took the note with both hands, with a respectful and sincere attitude.
"Yes! Professor Xue!"
Gu Qingcheng did not deliberately perform any ancient rituals, but her upbringing and etiquette were engraved in her soul.
Therefore, her every word and action exudes ancient charm and exemplary rules.
Even if it's just a bow, it seems to be particularly pleasing to the eye.
Professor Xue is already seventy years old this year. As a person who came from the old society, he is still relatively traditional at heart.
Since he is engaged in a more "retro" profession, he attaches great importance to ancient rituals.
In the new era, there are very few college students who are as "well-educated" and "respectful to teachers" as Gu Qingcheng!
The little girl is very pretty, and with this outfit, she looks like a noble lady from an ancient painting of ladies...
PS: Hehe, to borrow the words of a great reader, don’t use your brain when reading this book! Just enjoy it!
