Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again
Chapter 29: Praise for Unique Skills
Liu Rusi and Caiyun were both very interested in the carriage, not to mention little Qin Hao who was curious about everything. Jumping up and down might be a bit exaggerated, but it was true that he was restless.
Unlike ordinary carriages that have a row of seats at the back, this carriage has a seat connected to the back seat on the side where the sliding door is fixed, like a modern L-shaped sofa.
Little Qinhao took off his shoes and happily tossed and turned in his seat. Liu Rusi did not stop him. The walls of the carriage were covered with soft cotton and the floor was covered with a thick blanket. She also sat near the door to block the way so that little Qinhao would not get hurt.
After rummaging around in the soft seat for a while, little Qin Hao began to study the structure of the car.
The windows of the carriage are also hollow carved sliding windows. Because there is enough space and the windows on both sides are also large, the sunlight shines in through the thin window paper, and the light inside the carriage is very good.
Little Qinhao opened the window and looked out, and saw Chu Shiyu riding a horse outside the window. Little Qinhao smiled brightly: "Uncle! This car is great! It's big and beautiful!"
Chu Shiyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"
"I like it! I like it very much!"
Little Qin Hao was rarely so happy that he forgot himself. Perhaps it was because his previous life was too dull and there were no such new things. Liu Rusi leaned back in the corner with the corners of her lips slightly raised, looking at the smile on her son's face.
"This car was modified by my uncle himself. There are many interesting places. You can go and look for it." Little Qin Hao was blocking the window. Chu Shiyu couldn't see Liu Rusi in the corner, but he felt very happy to see Qin Hao so happy.
"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinhao turned around and began to study the interior of the car again. The window was not closed, so Chu Shiyu could see everyone in the car. He remained calm and felt even more relieved.
Xiao Qinhao first discovered a quarter-circular wooden board on the wall at the corner of the seat. He went over to touch it and found that the board could be lifted up.
"There is a stick in the cushion below, and there is a small hole on the edge. You insert the stick into the small hole, and then you can use the wooden board as a small table." Chu Shiyu pointed outside the window.
Little Qinhao followed his instructions and quickly set up the small wooden table. He immediately shouted happily: "Then I can read here! Uncle, you are so smart!"
Chu Shiyu couldn't help but laugh. He had never praised little Qin Hao for all the books he had taught him before, but he was actually praised for being smart because of some of his strange and clever skills.
"My uncle also borrowed some ideas from other car lovers, but his car is bigger, so there are more places where he can use it."
Liu Rusi was surprised to hear this. It turned out that people in ancient times also liked to modify cars, although they were horse-drawn carriages.
"Let's take down this table first. There are other places to look at." Seeing that little Qin Hao was about to take the book, Chu Shiyu recommended that he continue to appreciate his own modifications. After all, no matter how many ideas he had for the car, no one had ever seen them - and Chu Shiyu was not interested in sharing with others.
"Rusi, please help Qin Hao. There are two cushions and two wooden boards under your seat. Take them out and put them on the seat first."
Liu Rusi, who was watching quietly, was suddenly called out, but she was also curious about what other modifications had been made, so she cooperated and went to look under the seat. Sure enough, there were two cushions and a wooden board underneath.
After taking it out, she saw a wooden shelf at the back. Without Chu Shiyu continuing to explain, Liu Rusi guessed what it was.
She pulled out the rack, motioned to Xiao Qinhao and Caiyun to lift their feet, then set up the wooden rack, put the wooden board on it, and then put the mat on the board.
The entire carriage becomes a mobile bed!
No wonder Chu Shiyu said yesterday that he would sleep in the carriage. If it was an ordinary carriage, he would have to curl up in a ball to sleep, right? Sleeping in this carriage would make sense. Maybe it would be more comfortable than sleeping in a tent?
Chu Shiyu watched with a smile. Although Liu Rusi looked calm, one could tell she was interested if one looked closely.
While he was happy, he couldn't help but have some crooked thoughts. What if in the future...
As soon as he tilted his head a little, he came back to his senses. What was he thinking? Chu Shiyu quickly dispelled his evil thoughts, and while he let the horse go faster with a guilty conscience, he said in a natural voice: "You guys continue to play, I'll go get you some fruits and snacks..."
The entire carriage had many ingenious designs and objects. By the time the three of them had finished playing with the carriage, a whole morning had passed.
There was no one around during our lunch break, so we set up a shed on a flat area.
Although the carriage was very stable and comfortable, she couldn't help feeling stiff from sitting there for a long time. When Liu Rusi got off the carriage, she couldn't help stretching her arms and twisting her waist... Then she saw a circle of servants surrounding the carriage.
Liu Rusi looked at the people in the circle, remaining calm on the surface, calmly lowered her arms and stood up straight, smiling and saying, "I'm getting old, and my waist isn't in good shape."
Chu Shiyu immediately frowned and said, "You are only in your early twenties, what do you mean by old?"
Then he remembered that he still didn't know her exact date of birth, so he took the opportunity to ask, "I was born in June of the eleventh year of Hongle. You seem to be about the same age as me, right?"
Liu Rusi raised her eyebrows slightly, still smiling in her proper way, and said, "I was born earlier, three months older than Mr. Chu."
The weirdness is getting worse, right? Even the woman who claims to be a commoner is here?! Chu Shiyu gritted his teeth secretly, get used to it, get used to it, don't get angry, it's useless to get angry...
Besides, how come he happens to be three months younger than her? And from her tone, it seems that she thinks younger men are not suitable for her?
Putting away all the negative emotions, Chu Shiyu said softly, "It's too hot here, let's go wait under the awning over there, the meal will take some time."
Liu Rusi nodded and thought to herself, it seems that he has found a way to deal with this attitude? Then change it? The fake smile is really a bit tiring... or just remove the fake smile, or just keep a distance in words.
Chu Shiyu then discovered that Liu Rusi had changed again. She was still polite in her words, but the deliberate irritation was gone.
It gets worse!
She said indifferently, "Mr. Chu, please take a seat first." "Thank you, Mr. Chu." "Mr. Chu, you don't have to pick up the food. I won't bother you."
It was as if they had really distanced themselves from each other, and he was just a stranger who couldn't stir up any waves in her heart... and with her attitude, he couldn't get angry at all, and could only feel more and more helpless, and his heart was getting heavier and heavier.
After lunch, Chu Shiyu couldn't help but pull Liu Rusi, and said in a pleading tone: "How about...you stay like before? I really feel uncomfortable like this now."
It is better to feel uncomfortable now than to feel heartache later. Liu Rusi said coldly, "I come from a mountain village and don't know a lot. I have been adapting and learning these past two days. I just realized that I shouldn't have faked a smile. Please forgive me if I have displeased Mr. Chu these past two days."
Chu Shiyu just felt a tightness in his chest. Yes, she did it on purpose, trying every possible way to distance herself from him...
After lunch break, they set off again. Chu Shiyu rode on the horse absent-mindedly, looking into the car from time to time... Fortunately, Xiao Qinhao liked him and kept the window open to chat with him from time to time.
"Uncle, I think it would be better if the door of this car was moved to the middle? Eliminating a window will not affect the brightness, and the seats can be placed at both ends. The seats at the corners are not convenient to sit in now, so it will be spacious for four adults to sit there." Little Qin Hao waved his little hands and gestured.
Chu Shiyu imagined the scene and his eyes lit up. Yes, in that case he could also get in the car and sit with the others. It was okay for him to sit in the car now if he insisted, but it would inevitably cause them to rub against each other, which would be a bit offensive.
But then he frowned again. The car was now in use and was on the road. Even if it wanted to be modified, it would not be done in a short time.
"You have a good idea. Do you have any other ideas?" Chu Shiyu encouraged little Qin Hao to say more.
"Yes, if the door is changed, the current table boards can be removed and the bed boards can be used as table boards. But I'm wondering how to make the bed support high or low..." Little Qin Hao fell into deep thought.
"This is a great idea. The work on the bracket can be left to the carpenter!" Chu Shiyu also felt suddenly enlightened, and inwardly he admired the cleverness of little Qin Hao.
Little Qin Hao was encouraged and his mind worked faster. He immediately continued, "We can also split the stand into two. This way, if someone on one side needs a table and someone on the other side doesn't, they can use each one separately!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Chu Shiyu praised continuously.
So the two of them, one big and one small, enthusiastically discussed the modification of the car. Chu Shiyu also had some inspiration and kept putting forward his own ideas.
By the time they rested in the evening, the two had already discussed a new carriage.
There was still no sign of human habitation at night, so we set up a awning and had dinner outdoors.
Xiao Qinhao still abided by the rule of not talking while eating, but his eating speed was obviously much faster. Even after Liu Rusi tasted two dishes first, he stopped observing Liu Rusi and only ate those two dishes the whole time.
After finishing his meal in a hurry, Xiao Qinhao said to Liu Rusi with a pleading look on his face: "Mom... I want to draw the blueprint of the new car with my uncle. Can I go back to sleep later?"
Liu Rusi looked at her son with amusement. Her son liked to design and create, so how could a mother stop him? However, she still said seriously, "Okay, but not too late. You must come back in an hour to wash and rest."
Chu Shiyu, who was standing by, looked at her gentle expression towards her son and thought that directly entangled with her would only make her resist in every possible way. If he started with little Qin Hao, maybe he could start something…
Liu Rusi and Caiyun returned to the big tent that had been set up to rest, while Xiao Qinhao and Chu Shiyu remained in the shed.
The servants quickly cleared away the finished meals, cleaned the table, and then presented a set of exquisitely carved study treasures. It was pitch black all around, but there were bonfires on all sides, and the table was surrounded by candles and lanterns, making it as bright as day under the awning.
"I use less brushes and ink, and I don't know if I can write or draw well..." Little Qin Hao looked at the whole row of brushes of different sizes but extremely delicate with some trepidation.
"No problem, the force of writing on the sand table is similar, you should be able to control the ink." Chu Shiyu saw that the maid had ground the ink properly, so he took a pen that was close to the pen holder of the sand table, dipped it in ink and handed it to Xiao Qinhao. "Try it first and you will know."
Little Qin Hao took the pen and calmed down, writing his name on the snow-white rice paper. After writing the two words, he smiled with relief without Chu Shiyu's comments. It was indeed no different from the one on the sand table, except that the words were black.
Chu Shiyu looked at his handwriting and nodded in appreciation. Although it was still immature, it was neat, lively and smart.
After trying out the calligraphy, the two of them concentrated on drawing the carriage transformation diagram. Drawing required precision, so they changed to an extremely fine brush. Little Qin Hao's hand was not steady enough, so Chu Shiyu took over the pen.
A big and a small couple were busy in the brightly lit room.
