The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men
Chapter 46 No rejection allowed
Qin Xingfu kept winking at him, signaling him not to be so confused as to match people up blindly.
The First Emperor pretended not to see it and was a little unhappy about being interrupted, but Qin Xingfu said that he would give him a gift, so he couldn't be angry, so he nodded.
After a while, several temple servants brought in a strange object that looked like a car, but with two wheels.
"Your Majesty, this is a bicycle that I polished myself. It's a bit narrow here. Let's go outside and I'll show you."
"Sir, can you use these two-wheeled vehicles?"
Jiang Lu was very curious.
"Of course, if you ride this well, it's faster than running, and it's not very tiring."
Qin Xingfu stood the bicycle up and began to introduce the parts.
"This is the front of the car, which is mainly used to control the direction. This is the brake, which can help slow down and stop the car when the speed is too fast. This is the front brake, and this is the rear brake. This is the seat, which people sit on. This is the pedal. People step on it and turn it in circles, and the car will move forward. This is the chain connected to the pedal, and this is the gear. When you step on it and turn it, it will drive the rear wheel to turn, like this. In this way, the rear wheel rolls forward and pushes the car forward."
After Qin Xingfu finished explaining, he turned it with his hand, and the First Emperor came over and said.
"Go outside and try it."
Qin Xingfu pushed his bicycle out of the hall.
"Most people stand the bike up and ride it like this. Then, like me, they spread their legs apart, put one foot on top, and support it with the other foot. Then, they push hard on the pedal and they can go."
After Qin Xingfu finished speaking, he started riding his bicycle.
A group of people were stunned.
"Hey, it really moved and walked farther. It's indeed faster than walking!"
Jiang Lu was very happy and talked happily on the side.
"Yes, and how come she doesn't fall down when her feet are on top of it?"
"What happened just now? It seemed very simple."
"I think I can make it back! It's just one lap in such a short time."
Qin Xingfu rode around and then asked.
"There is another way to get on the bike. First, put your foot down like this, then push hard with this foot, and then put your foot on when the bike starts moving. This is usually not easy to learn, so I suggest you learn the first one."
She asked after coming back around again.
"Anyone want to try it? Come on, it's easy to learn and very simple to use."
When the First Emperor saw that she rode very easily, he wanted to try it too, but his clothes were not very convenient, so he glanced at Jianglu, who quickly raised his hand.
"I'll do it, it's that simple, I'll go first."
Jiang Lu quickly sat on it, imitating what Qin Xingfu had just done, but he fell down just as he started. Everyone quickly looked elsewhere or lowered their heads at the ground, pretending not to see anything.
The First Emperor frowned, wondering how could he be so stupid that he couldn't even do such a simple thing.
Jiang Lu blushed with shame and got up quickly.
"It's okay. It's normal for the first time. Don't be nervous. Don't lean your body. Don't look at your feet. Look forward. Don't twist your hands around."
Qin Xingfu helped him up, then helped the man and the car up, and lifted the car up.
"Just sit on it first, and then learn how to pedal!"
Jiang Lu was a little uncertain, as if Qin Xingfu was playing a trick on him, but with so many people around, he had no choice but to go ahead.
First I taught him how to pedal, hold the handrails, brake, and press the bell. Everyone gathered around to watch the curiosity.
"Almost there. Come on, try again. Remember what I just said. Get started. I'll hold you and won't let you fall again."
Jiang Lu was confident this time. Others also made way for him. He sat on the bike and started pedaling. It really started moving and he felt a little nervous.
"Look forward, don't lean your body, right, keep going."
"Turn! Brake."
Seeing that Jiang Lu was about to hit his head against the wall, Qin Xingfu quickly pulled him back.
"When turning, you must control the front of the car to the left or right, and at the same time, drive slowly. Remember to apply the brakes, usually the rear brakes, and don't apply the front brakes, as this will easily cause the car to flip over. Remember this? Let's learn another lap!"
Qin Xingfu rubbed his waist. He had accidentally pulled it again. Jiang Lu had to try again. He seemed to have found some feeling just now.
He got back into the car and pushed hard. Qin Xingfu supported him from behind and let go when he felt he was almost there.
"Not bad, not bad, that's it."
Jiang Lu felt that he was on the road, so he sped up. When he turned back after riding a long way, he found that Qin Xingfu had not caught up with him. He panicked for a moment, and then fell again.
"Be careful not to break it."
Qin Xingfu returned to the crowd, and Jiang Lu had to get on his bike again, recalling the feeling just now, and then rode over slowly.
"Father, I learned it!"
The First Emperor nodded.
"Yeah, that's good. When this car leaves, bring a few more. This will make it much more convenient in the future."
"This is the only one I have now. The other materials are all good. The tire is made of rubber, which is the sap of a rubber tree. This tree usually grows in hot places. I spent a lot of money to hire someone to find this little bit of stuff."
Yilai is actually quite mysterious. He always finds strange and weird things, and she doesn't know where he finds them.
The cost was too high. The First Emperor pondered for a while. He felt that she had not finished speaking, so he looked at her.
Sure enough, Qin Xingfu changed the subject.
"It's not impossible. We just need to build ships and go out to sea. We need to find a piece of land to plant rubber. There will be endless rubber every year. In addition to bicycles, we can also use electric cars. We also need to build roads. Your Majesty can go wherever he wants in the future. It won't take several months to go to Mount Tai like before. If you drive fast, you can get there in one or two days."
The First Emperor discovered that Qin Xingfu had a mysterious obsession with overseas, just like when she said before that she wanted to capture Xu Fu back. Every time she talked about overseas, she was very excited, as if there were treasures overseas!
Qin Xingfu really wanted to go out to sea. She wanted to eat seafood. She had been here for so long, but she had never seen what the ocean looked like in ancient times. What did seafood taste like in ancient times? Was it delicious?
The thought of all kinds of seafood made her drool. No, she had to find a way to go to the beach and catch the seafood herself.
She swallowed her saliva a little loudly, and the usurer wanted to speak to her again, but His Majesty could hear it here, and he felt it was a little embarrassing.
"You are the Prime Minister of Qin, so I ask you to pay more attention to your manners."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, I just can't help myself when I think of the delicious food."
"This bicycle is great. I am very pleased with it. What reward do you want?"
"This is my duty. If I can catch your Majesty's eye and win your favor, that is the greatest reward for me."
Her biggest hope is that he won't cause trouble for her. Although due to physical reasons, she sometimes likes to look at handsome men for a few days, but she has never been in love and doesn't know how to talk about it. She can't just say to others, I want to be in love with you physically, not emotionally, right?
The main reason is that the Daqin family is not rich, and she doesn't need money. She can't ask for rewards for everything she does, right? There is not much money left in the treasury.
Feng Quji moved behind Qin Xingfu, raised his hand, gestured to the First Emperor, and bent his thumbs towards each other. The First Emperor remembered and said with a smile.
"I am happy. You are already an adult and have done a lot for Daqin and me. I heard that you have sent all the people in your house away. I will reward you with a few more people! Almost all the civil and military officials in the court have families. See if there are any you like. If not, I will choose a few close servants for you. They will be absolutely loyal."
Qin Xingfu looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked around and saw that everyone was gloating over her misfortune. She felt that it was inappropriate for the First Emperor to say this and it was not noble at all.
"Ah? Your Majesty, I don't need it! I am fine now. I don't need any close servants."
She waved her hand and refused immediately. She was afraid of trouble. How many more! The First Emperor really thought highly of her. She was a virgin girl who had never been in love. Who would give her several men right away? Let's not talk about whether she could accept it. Even if she reluctantly accepted it, she would be jealous. Then she would have no peace of mind.
Feng Quji had already hidden far away, thinking that this girl was very strong and he was afraid that she would get angry and beat someone up. He was old and couldn't take a beating, so he quickly hid away from her.
"Of course I do. Who doesn't have a family? It's a joke. When I was your age, I already had several children. If you don't like these guys, I will use the power of the whole country to find one for you until you are satisfied."
As he spoke, he waved for people to come up, his tone not allowing for refusal.
"These people are all around your age. My son is suitable. He is Hu Hai, who has not yet started a family. He is not in tune with the times. If possible..."
The First Emperor pointed at the five people standing there, some were muscular and some were handsome. Qin Xingfu's eyelids twitched and he looked at Fusu, hoping he could help.
Fusu had a blank expression on his face, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves. He had no right to speak, he and she were just friends, and his father always kept his word, so he could only shake his head to indicate that he was powerless.
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but how can we force feelings? We should also ask the other person's wishes, right?"
Qin Xingfu felt that if he continued talking, she would have to give birth to several children, and even arranged their names. As long as these people didn't want to, there would be a way.
"Really? Tell me."
The First Emperor pointed at the five people and asked them to speak. To be honest, it was quite hurtful to a man's self-esteem to be treated as a reward, but it was the order of His Majesty after all, and they dared not disobey.
"I, Xuhe, have admired you for a long time!"
The muscular man spoke.
"I am Dan Yao, a humble servant. I have come to see you, sir. I have heard that you are very talented and learned. I hope you can give me some pointers."
A handsome man who looked like a scholar spoke.
"Sir, I am Yingbu, and I am willing to serve you!"
A handsome man said to her shyly, and Qin Xingfu felt it was an eyesore. Before she could say anything else, she turned her head and said.
"Your Majesty, these are all trivial matters. It is still early morning and we should not waste time on these matters."
"That's all for today."
Her tone was somewhat unhappy. As the king of a country, he personally solved her lifelong affairs, but she didn't appreciate it. Where did she put his face?
"Do I have to accept it? Just one?"
Qin Xingfu bargained, she wouldn't have such high demands, right? What did she do wrong to give people the impression that she was very good?
"..."
The First Emperor felt that career and life were not in conflict. When Qin Xingfu saw that everyone was looking at her, she thought that these people were really bored and had no time to care about her affairs. The tasks she had assigned must not be enough.
Seeing that her bargaining had failed, Qin Xingfu felt that if she did not accept these people today, not only would she be disrespecting the First Emperor, but it would also be endless in the future. After struggling for a while, she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and calmed herself before bowing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Well, that's it for today! I've checked the date and it's set for the sixth day of February. It's a good day. Zongzheng will start making preparations."
After the court session, Qin Xingfu walked with her head down. Today she had witnessed the horror of feudal society and felt sad. The First Emperor still did not believe her.
He didn't want her to go back, and was also afraid to ask her about future rebellion. The emperor was really too suspicious.
Fusu felt that she was in a bad mood.
"Huiyuan, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I just thought that His Majesty might be a little free lately. Sir, please take some time to let the young master and the others show up more often!"
Looking at the five people following behind him, Qin Xingfu felt a headache.
"You are 23 years old this year. It is always better to have someone to take care of you."
Qin Xingfu scratched his head, too lazy to talk nonsense with these old fogies, and just bowed perfunctorily.
"Got it, thank you sir!"
Fusu felt his throat was choked up. He knew she was different and he wanted to fight for her, but he couldn't let his wife down, as that would make both sides feel wronged.
The most important thing is that Qin Xingfu has no interest in him. To be precise, she has no interest in anyone. It seems that she treats everyone the same, and there is even no difference between men and women in her eyes.
His current status and position are somewhat sensitive, and he is very careful in everything he does, for fear of being reported by others and being accused of having ulterior motives. If he really speaks out, Qin Xingfu is afraid that he will not survive.
Gao De saw that his master looked depressed and there were a few unfamiliar people following him.
"My Lord, what's going on? What is this?"
Today we talked about giving gifts to His Majesty, but I didn't see any rewards. In the past, there would always be some.
Qin Xingfu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he spoke.
"Gao De, go hire a few more cars to take the young masters back to their homes. I'm really sorry for what happened today, you should go home! I'll have him send someone to take you back."
"Sir, His Majesty has already given us to you. From now on, we will be wherever you are."
Ying Bu stepped forward, fearing that she would not want them. The others nodded, and Gao De was dumbfounded. Huh? His Majesty's reward, five men at once!
"His Majesty said that he hopes we can have two children in three years. He said that they are both smart people. He hopes that more smart people can serve the Qin Dynasty."
Dan Yao never stopped talking until his words were shocking.
"Aren't you married? Don't you have someone you like?"
Qin Xingfu felt that these people should all come from good families. It was impossible that they didn't want to get married like her, right?
"No."
Several people shook their heads in unison. Qin Xingfu didn't believe it. At this time, Feng Quji came over and said in a servile manner.
"Congratulations, sir!"
Others also congratulated her, but Qin Xingfu couldn't help but be happy, and said with a fake smile.
"Joy and rejoice together!"
Gao De asked weakly from the side.
"Sir, do you still need to hire a car?"
Qin Xingfu glanced at his car and saw that it couldn't accommodate so many people.
"Sir, we have our own car."
The person who just called Xuhe said this and pointed in another direction.
At this time, there were already five cars waiting on the side, so Qin Xingfu had no choice but to accept his fate and nodded.
"Okay, let's go back first!"
