Chapter 53 Alternative carriages
Having said that, Xie Li's thoughts were too simple.
After many inquiries, several people found a car that made a car, but the car here really made Xie Li a little stunned.
It’s not that it’s not good, but it’s too good!
Here, the double shafts of the car extend parallel to the front, and the two ends are connected to the trampoline, which looks very regular.
There is absolutely no problem with four or five people sitting inside the rectangular carriage.
The roof cover of the carport is slightly concave in the middle, the eaves at both ends are longer and slightly upturned, and the entire curved curve is also very beautiful.
The roof is decorated with seven convex hoops, arranged in parallel.
Except for a small door in front, the rest of the carriage are closed and windowless on the other sides.
Xie Li entered the carriage, and there were items such as a few (a kind of furniture that can be used for people to rely on), and other tents and curtains were also available.
After Xie Li came out of the car, he was speechless and thought to himself that the whole car was so fancy. If the horse ran, so many decorative things would be a burden.
Just as he was about to speak, the shop owner said first: "Although my eyes are not very useful, they still have the function of identifying people. The temperament and style of the people are obviously from extraordinary origins. When using my long-eaves carriage when traveling, it is not only stable, but more importantly, it is that you can sit and lie down freely in the car."
Huan Xian nodded and said, "Although the old man is saying it well, I am waiting for the group to hurry up, not to travel. Although the appearance and interior decoration of this car are OK, it is already too much to be able to travel thirty miles a day after putting on the old cow."
After hearing Huan Xian's words, Xie Li realized where the awkward part in his heart came from.
It turned out that this was a ox cart, not the carriage I had in my first impression.
After Huan Xian's "inadvertent reminder", Xie Li finally remembered that when he learned about the famous scholars of this period, he would always see pictures of famous scholars living with ox carts in some unintentional places. As for horse carts, there were very few. Although he did not pay much attention at that time, now he thinks about it, he can understand the reasons at this time.
Under such a turbulent society, the famous aristocratic people no longer actively entered the world for various reasons like the Three Kingdoms period.
Whether it is achieving careers or supporting the country, at this time, it is no longer the first choice for celebrities.
In order to avoid the troubles in the court, they began to advocate pure talk and study metaphysics at this time. They drank and sang all day long, and were happy with all their joy.
It is no longer above the temple, so the slow pace of daily life is obvious.
Carriage? For celebrities of this era, it was a bit too fast.
It’s better to have a ox cart and enjoy it.
Fortunately, Xie Li didn't ask about how to trap a horse, otherwise, he would be really disappointed.
After saying "It's okay" to Huan Xian, he went to discuss the price of the car with the owner.
But after giving money to the owner, Xie Li continued to say to the owner: "Please remove all the decorations in this car, leaving only a couch inside."
With an incomprehensible expression on the shop owner's face, Xie Li said again: "I'll bother you. Just saw a window with a length of one meter and a curtain on both sides of the vehicle."
After Xie Li finished speaking, the shop owner hesitated for a while and then called the guy to get busy. Although he didn't move what the young man meant, he had already paid the money, and just this little modification was not a big deal.
Liu Qing, the old man who had been silent for a long time, walked over at this time, then nodded and smiled at Xie Li, "I didn't expect that Xie Yizhi was a pragmatic person at such a young age. There were all kinds of miscellaneous things on the car. Although it looked a little beautiful, it was too impractical. It was not as good as Xie Yizhi arranged. It was open and bright, and it was much easier to get along when walking."
"Haha, Uncle Liu has been awarded... Also, it's midsummer now, and the weather is extremely hot. If you keep stuck in this car, it will be too uncomfortable. Saw the windows on both sides to get the wind, and it will be much cooler."
Xie Li looked at Liu Qing who was staring at him opposite him, and replied with a smile.
After listening to him, Liu Qing stepped forward and took two more steps and said in a very low voice: "It's just that although Xie Yizeng is neat in his work, he is not like this. I just remembered that you clearly said that the money you had was only enough to survive..."
The sound was so small that it seemed that only two people could hear it.
"Haha..." Xie Li said with a smile: "Then Uncle Liu said that he happened to come here from Jiangling and happened to meet your little lord..."
After looking at each other for a long time, they burst into laughter at the same time.
"Oh...I get it!"
Huan Chan said in a "timely manner": "You Xie Li have given all these things. Do you want to use a horse to pull the ox cart to travel?"
"Well, Madam Huan, this way will be faster, and it will not delay the time for the three of you." Xie Li stopped laughing and explained to Huan Chan.
Then he turned to Su Huixue and said to her: "On the way back, we will go to another store to buy some bedding and blankets and spread them in the carriage. Even if the dark horse runs faster, we won't feel much vibration."
Su Huixue is still in a relatively well-behaved state. After hearing Xie Li's words, she said softly: "Everything is mainly what you said. I... I don't care about so many things, as long as there is no problem with Grandma and Aunt Qin."
After everything was ready, nearly an hour had passed.
After everyone settled the accounts with the stakeholder, they walked towards the south city at the same time.
Although they only have seven people, if four horses and one "ox cart", the situation is really quite large.
On this small street in Yicheng, many pedestrians were attracted by the eyes of them.
After arriving at the south city gate, the soldiers guarding the city seemed to have received some instructions in advance, and they were very respectful to let everyone go out of the city without any investigation or obstruction.
It seems that the city guard team yesterday had already explained to them in advance.
The road to the south seemed quite smooth. Before nightfall on the first day, everyone had already walked about sixty miles.
Although this ox cart has been simplified so that it cannot be simplified, the overall size has not changed at all, so it is really rare for the dark horse to walk sixty miles a day when it is pulled by.
But this place where I stayed overnight was really awkward. I didn’t have a village or a shop in front of me. I wanted to find a decent post pavilion, but I didn’t find any trace of the pavilion.
