Chapter 194 195. Shock Absorber
There were so many people staring at the yard where they lived. They didn't know how many waves of people had come to inquire about the matter in these days. They didn't expect that even Deng Yuanhang could not escape now.
Deng Yuanhang, "That's right. I told them that you are rich now and don't need this little money. I didn't expect them to ask me to come here and ask whether you will help or not. Just give me a straight answer."
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "My wife still likes that yard very much. We have agreed that we can come and stay for a while when we have time. We don't want to sell it out."
Are you kidding? That yard holds beautiful memories of myself and Jin Qianqian. Moreover, its location and layout are impeccable. It is impossible to sell it at all.
"Okay, it's good to have this definite answer, so that these people don't have to bother me every other day.
But when you go back, I guess you won't even have enough carriages, right? If you want to rent a carriage, you'd better hurry up and book it early, otherwise these carriages will probably be very busy in the next few days."
Gu Wenheng naturally believed Deng Yuanhang's opinion. "I'll ask someone to go to the car dealership to check it out when we get back. Will you go back with me then?"
Deng Yuanhang, "Yes, I told my father before the New Year that there are still a few months left, I have to go back and calm down, and try to pass the imperial examination for him. And it just so happens that we can be companions on this journey."
Gu Wenheng, "."

After Gu Wenheng passed the examination and became a scholar, he was also qualified to buy horses. Naturally, the two of them would not compromise themselves and immediately asked someone to select two tall horses.
Jin Qianqian sketched out the materials needed for some simple shock absorbers one by one and attached detailed dimensions.
"Design another carriage," Gu Wenheng looked at the familiar spring shock absorbers and wanted to make it more perfect.
Jin Qianqian refused this time, "Let's not be so ostentatious. After all, your husband and fellow apprentices are traveling with us. If we do something too outrageous, not only will we have to explain ourselves, but we might even be complained about.
Besides, we don’t know how effective it will be yet, so let’s try it on an ordinary carriage first.”
Gu Wenheng, "Let me ask Uncle Fu to get a frame, but I'll have to trouble you when I get back."
Jin Qianqian, "We can make the car a little bigger. We have a lot of things to bring back this time."
Gu Wenheng also understood that it would be impossible for him and Jin Qianqian to be alone on the way back, and some things had to be put out in the open.
With the help of some old craftsmen in some workshops, Gu Wenheng also went to the blacksmith shop to get a few main parts. It actually took him less than a day to bring back the things.
Gu Wenheng did not ask anyone else for help. He took a few servants with him and started hammering in the backyard. A carriage with inconspicuous modifications appeared in front of them.
Looking at this carriage created by hand, Jin Qianqian could not help herself, so she asked Hong Da to harness the horses immediately and drag Gu Wenheng straight to the road outside.
"It really works," Jin Qianqian said excitedly. She opened the curtain and told Hong Da, who was driving the carriage, "Let's take a small road."
Gu Wenheng also leaned back comfortably on the pillow, "On the way back, we can really suffer less."
When I walk from home to now, I no longer have to hurt my buttocks due to stepping over a small stone, and I even feel drowsy because of the spring shock absorbers installed at the bottom.
Jin Qianqian nodded. From now on, traveling would no longer be a nightmare. If she put two more quilts in the carriage, maybe she could sleep all the way.
“It looks like I can ask the workshop to help make a few more.” Gu Wenheng touched his chin. Now the indentures of these people are still in his hands, so he can keep the secret.
At the same time, he was secretly thinking that he might as well discuss with Bai Jinglie and let these people follow him to Daocheng and set up a small branch there.
Jin Qianqian also checked the car carefully before getting in. It looks no different from an ordinary car. If you don't experience it yourself, no one would know that there is something else going on in the car.
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"It's kept as a backup," Gu Wenheng saw her doubts, "and it can be repaired in time if there is any malfunction in the future."
Jin Qianqian: "..." I almost believed it.
"By the way, the date for returning has been set. Have you informed the Gu Le family?"
Gu Wenheng slapped his forehead and said, "I always say I forgot something, but I really haven't told him yet."
Jin Qianqian, "...are they still living in that yard over there?"
Gu Wenheng, "I don't know about that. I've been very busy these days. I'll ask Tianbao to go over and take a look later."
"What about those people kept in the farm? Are they going to be taken back with them this time?" Jin Qianqian frowned. It would be difficult to place them there for the time being.
Gu Wenheng, "No, let them stay here for a while and learn for a while. I have already made an agreement with Senior Brother Deng that they will follow their escort agency when the time comes."
Here, the scholar, the accountant, and Master Wu are all local people, and they may not be willing to accompany you on such a journey.
In this case, it is better to study here so that you can start working directly when the time comes.
As we were talking, the carriage arrived at the country road. Sitting in it, we could immediately feel that it was much bumpier than the previous section, but it was still acceptable. After all, the whole way was basically an official road, and bumpy sections like this could really be ignored.

"Seventh Uncle, I don't want to go back." Gu Lejia stopped Gu Wenheng who was about to go out.
"We agreed on this before."
"But I don't want to go back now," Gu Lejia's eyes flickered, but he still mustered up the courage to finish, "At least I have something to do here, and I can earn some money, but if I go back home, I can only farm at home."
Gu Wenheng looked at him. The clothes he was wearing were the ones that Chen Dongjia had found for him. "How much silver have you earned so far? How much do you have left?"
Gu Lejia bit her lower lip and said, "Although there is not much money left now, at least there is still hope."
"The lease of the courtyard you are staying in now is about to expire. Do you want to rent a house outside in the future? This will add a lot of expenses."
Gu Wenheng didn't think that Mr. Chen would find another house for him and his wife to live in.
"Uncle Qi, you guys are going to go back too. This yard is empty. Xiuniang and I are here to help you look after the house." Gu Lejia spoke more and more smoothly, "Otherwise, if no one lives in this house, the people below will definitely not be dedicated."
Gu Wenheng finally understood the purpose of this kid's visit. "That's really not necessary. I have the indentures of these people in my hands. Besides, my brothers and friends have businesses here. I can't be more relieved to have them take care of them."
Gu Lejia understood the implication, which was that he would rather trust outsiders than his own nephew.
"How can you trust outsiders as much as your own people?" Gu Lejia blurted out.
Gu Wenheng looked at him with a half-smile, "Your seventh uncle, I'm afraid it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. If these servants dare to disobey me, I'll sell them off. I'll always find someone I can trust."
