Although Gu Yi was born into a noble family, he did not think highly of himself or have any arrogance.
He is like a true gentleman, and he is polite and courteous to the so-called new rich from a humble family and the nouveau riche of the royal family.
As for Yu Wensong, he already admired the aristocratic family, and he had been famous for Gu Yulang for a long time.
Seeing Gu Yi being so gentle, he became even more happy.
When they met for the first time, both parties had a good impression.
Yu Wensong led the troops and horses to escort the Gu family to Chang'an.
During the journey, Yu Wensong and Gu Yi got along more and more harmoniously, and Gu Yi also got to know better about Yu Wensong, a general who came from the royal family.
"This great general is a careless and careful man."
When he got along with the eldest princess and his wife of Jiangling, Gu Yi said this to his wife.
Jiang Ling nodded, "He is a character! He seems careless and has no scheming, but in fact he has many plans."
Not to mention anything else, just seeing how attentive and considerate he is to the Gu family's "lost dog" who cannot escape, you know that this person is very powerful.
"...I want to get to know him further!"
When Gu Yi said this, he was still holding the letter sent by his father.
Jiang Ling's eyes also fell on Gu Yi's hand.
She has read the letter and knows what her father-in-law wrote in the letter.
"Aqing, alas~~~"
What an outstanding kid, he discovered the method of purifying rock salt just based on a certain miscellaneous book he had read.
So smart and capable, yet so ugly!
As a mother who loves her children, Jiang Ling never dislikes her.
She only felt deeply guilty towards her daughter: "I must have had no dietary restrictions at that time and ate too much spicy and greasy food, which caused--"
Jiangling really couldn't think of any other reason.
She and the consort are both people with outstanding looks. The three children, the eldest son, eldest daughter and second son, also have excellent looks.
It happened to be my little daughter.
Every time he saw his daughter studying hard at a young age, without the innocence and liveliness of a child, Jiang Ling couldn't help but blame himself.
Blame me!
Blame me!
I failed to give my daughter a good skin.
Aqing was excellent in all aspects. While Jiang Ling was proud, he felt deeply guilty and distressed.
Hearing his wife's sigh, Gu Yi understood it very well.
A hint of sadness flashed across his handsome face.
However, he is a man after all and is stronger than his wife.
He raised his head again, with a warm smile on his face, "Don't be afraid! A Qing is so good, and with the protection of her family and the love of her relatives, she will definitely have a great life!"
It's just a skin, no matter how beautiful the face is, it will grow old one day.
However, talents, knowledge, wisdom, etc. will not disappear.
Now Aqing is so good that he came up with the secret recipe for purifying rock salt.
"This is a good stepping stone!"
Gu Yi took his father's letter and said softly, "Although Yu Wensong is very polite to us, I, the Gu family, are a bereaved dog who fled to the Northern Dynasty."
Relying on the family's reputation alone, at best, you can gain the "admiration" of the Northern Dynasties royal family.
With only a false name and no real rights, the Gu family was destined to perish in the Northern Dynasties.
And if you want to hold real power, you must have enough value.
Cooperating with Yuwensong is a good start!
"..."
Although the words "bereaved dog" sound unpleasant, it is a fact.
Jiangling was silent for a moment.
After a long while, she raised a smile and said, "Mr. Lang said yes, everything will be as he said!"
"Aqing came up with the recipe. Mark it for her!"
Logically speaking, there is no separation of families and no private wealth.
Everything from children and younger generations should be contributed to the family.
Gu Yi felt sorry for her youngest daughter and wanted to help her save more "capital".
Although money is a common thing, it is indispensable.
With a family, talent, and a rich family background, the future of the younger daughter will not be too difficult.
"Yeah! Listen to your husband!"
The husband wanted to secretly save a "dowry" for his little daughter, so Jiang Ling naturally had no problem with it.
For his youngest daughter, Jiang Ling will only pamper her even more and make double compensation.
Therefore, half a month later, Gu Yi received another letter from his father Gu Heng. When he saw that the letter mentioned his youngest daughter's request, Gu Yi waved his hand and directly selected twenty people from the accompanying guest girls.
He arranged for a team of people to escort them and sent them directly from the north to Lingnan.
…
Gu Qingcheng's life was monotonous and rich.
It was monotonous because she was always on the road and she could only sit in a bullock cart.
Apart from eating and sleeping, there are no other activities at all.
The rich thing is that Gu Qingcheng can read, collect some herbs along the way, and prepare them with his own hands.
Every time he passed through a prefecture or county, Gu Qingcheng would order people to purchase supplies and exchange books, seeds and other items.
After seeing different customs and customs, and seeing a collection of folk books that even the Gu family did not have, Gu Qingcheng felt that his world had been enriched again.
"No wonder the ancients often said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!"
Although Gu Qingcheng lived two lifetimes, she had always lived in a frame in her last life.
The only difference is probably that the frame is sometimes smaller and sometimes larger.
After encountering the system, Gu Qingcheng saw different worlds in different worlds.
However, those are virtual and unreal, and are essentially different from the time and space from which they came.
Gu Qingcheng just felt it was novel, but had no sense of belonging.
Only after returning to this world and seeing the customs and cultural landscape of this time and space did Gu Qingcheng have a more real and richer experience.
Repeating the same thing every day makes time fly very fast.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since Gu Qingcheng's return.
The system's cooling time has long expired.
Huoshui "reminded" again and again: Dear, the system has been cooled down and new tasks can be started.
Gu Qingcheng: ...No rush!
She is an extremely sober and self-disciplined person.
The mission world is really good and she can become what she wants.
However, no matter how beautiful or good it is, it is still fake.
Like a gorgeous dream.
If she indulges in it, Gu Qingcheng is worried that she will lose herself.
She needs to stay grounded and remember who she is...and she refuses to be fooled!
The days on the road, although boring, are very real.
Gu Qingcheng likes folk fireworks and is intoxicated by them.
On this day, a convoy of ox carts arrived at a post station in a certain county.
"Sanniang, the inn is here. Should we stay here or drive a little further to the inn in the county?"
The steward of the Gu family trotted to Gu Qingcheng's oxcart, hunched over, and politely asked for instructions.
Gu Qingcheng lifted the car curtains and looked at the sky outside.
It was getting late, and if we rushed to the county, it might be too late.
It would be too troublesome if the city gates were closed and they retreated to the inn.
"Go to the inn first! If it's convenient for you to stay, stay at the inn!"
Gu Heng is no longer an official of the imperial court, but an exiled "criminal".
According to the rules, such a status cannot stay overnight at the inn.
However, Gu Heng was no ordinary criminal.
He is the world-famous Duke You'an, and he also has Zheng Mo, the lieutenant general of Qianniu Guard, by his side.
In fact, Gu Heng didn't even need to come forward, just pushing Zheng Mo out was enough to make the postmen at the post station fearful.
"yes!"
The steward agreed and ran to the front to deliver the message.
Not long after, the motorcade stopped on the official road outside the inn.
Gu Qingcheng got out of the oxcart with the help of Lu Qi and Jiao Wei.
Just as he stood still, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves not far away.
Gu Qingcheng quickly stepped aside.
A fast horse galloped over, splashing loess all over the sky.
In the dust, the knight tightened his reins.
Hu~~~
With a long cry, the horse finally stopped.
However, before the knight could dismount, the horse turned over and fell to the ground.
The knight hurriedly jumped up and escaped from the horse before being thrown to the ground.
The knight rolled on the ground several times in embarrassment, finally stood up, and rushed forward to check on the horse.
"Damn it! The horse's hoof is rotten again!"
Seeing the horse lying on the ground with white air spraying from its mouth, the knight felt distressed and annoyed.
"Oh, this horse is useless!"
Zheng Mo heard the noise and ran to check.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but sigh.
As a military commander, horses are your best companions.
However, the wear and tear of horseshoes is a huge problem.
If a war horse runs for a long time, its hoofs will be injured and ulcerated.
Once there is a problem with the hoof, the horse will be useless!
"not necessarily!"
Gu Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something.
She has experienced several small worlds, although she can only be familiar with and master one technology.
However, some things become "common sense" or even instinct after seeing them too much and for a long time.
Just like when the weather gets cold, you add more clothes. Silk floss is definitely warmer than grass wadding.
And this has become a conditioned reflex. Even if you lose your memory, you will not forget it.
"horseshoe!"
If you want to reduce the wear and tear of your war horse, you must put "boots" on your war horse.
Horseshoes are the crystallization of the wisdom of future generations.
Although it is just a piece of iron, it can effectively protect the horse's hooves and thus the war horse!
Gu Qingcheng quietly called for the craftsman worshiped by the Gu family. He was a member of the Gu family, and his ancestors had worked in the Gu family for several generations.
The most loyal!
Last time Gu Qingcheng renovated the bullock cart, the main craftsman was also an old man from the Gu family village.
Gu Qingcheng whispered a few instructions to the craftsman.
Although the craftsman didn't quite understand it, he still carried it out seriously.
"..."
Huoshui was speechless.
This Gu Qingcheng is really amazing.
The system was on every possible defense against her, but, it still couldn't protect her!
Fortunately, the horseshoe is not a great invention that can change the course of history. Even if it is copied, it will not have much impact.
Huoshui tried to persuade himself in this way, but the effect was not great.
"Executor, dear Queen, let's do the task."
“The more tasks you do, the more points you can earn!”
"Your appearance has reached 51 points now. If you work harder, you can reach the passing line of 60 points!"
The passing appearance shows that Gu Qingcheng has broken away from the boundary of ugliness.
A person who is not ugly is not beautiful, but coupled with a strong bookishness, this is a bit like "having poetry and bookishness in his belly".
"Okay! Let's have a mission."
Seeing that Huoshui was so eager, Gu Qingcheng did not refuse, but said something casually.
