Spring is warm and the sun is long. Although it is almost time to Shenshi, the sun is still hanging in the air. Xianyang City is the most lively time of the day. The streets are bustling with people everywhere, and the street at the entrance of Qingheyuan is even more crowded with people. The sound of shouting and hawking and various snacks fill the entire street.

Qinghe Garden and Liuxiang Garden are opposite the gates, and there are endless people and vehicles entering and leaving. It is definitely the most prosperous place in Xianyang today, no doubt.

Since Qinghe Park opened, the business of Liuxiang Garden opposite has improved several times. The civilians who come to play nearby cannot afford to spend in Qinghe Park, and most of them will play in Liuxiang Garden, fighting dogs, throwing dices, and all kinds of cheers and cheers sounded inside all day long.

When Chen Xu and Ying Shiman and Meng Wan were in a carriage to accompany Meng Yi and his family to Qinghe Garden, when they entered the garden gate, they suddenly saw a familiar figure among the onlookers, which turned out to be Ma Teng.

When Ma Teng saw Chen Xu, he was excited to wave to greet him, but Chen Xu turned his eyes at him. Ma Teng immediately woke up and retreated quickly. Chen Xu's carriage entered Qinghe Park without any stop.

Qinghe Garden is as lively as ever, and the yard is full of various carriages, most of which have been replaced with new four-wheeled carriages, and many of them are also equipped with glass on the windows. It is obvious that these kings, princes, princes, nobles and wealthy merchants have reached the forefront of luxury and fashion.

At present, in Daqin, the carriages that can be purchased are not affordable for small households. First of all, there must be horses at home. This one alone has dropped 90% of the population of Daqin. Horses can only eat grass, and ordinary farmers can raise them, but they have to spend money on buying horses. Any batch of old horses costs several hundred yuan, and the same is true for horses. It can be afforded to raise them but cannot afford them.

You have to raise a carriage to afford a carriage, because driving is a technical job. In this era without clutches and brakes, if you don’t have a very good understanding of the character of a horse and can make the horse obey orders, the horse will lose its temper if you accidentally get rid of it. The consequences of the carriage out of control are no less than the damage caused by motor vehicles in later generations. In addition, to drive a carriage to the princes and princes, you must also have corresponding military titles, and the coachman’s license is not so easy to get.

If you want to be able to afford a groom and build a carriage, you don’t even think about the annual income of not more than a thousand yuan. Any two-wheeled carriage that carries people will cost thousands of yuan. The maintenance fee for changing axle wheels every year is a large amount of money. Annual income of more than a thousand yuan is a sign of entering the rich class, which is enough to ensure that the family of six or seven has no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, in addition to driving a carriage, there are also ox carts and donkey carts, which are relatively low. Because ox carts and donkey carts are too slow, and traveling sixty or seventy miles a day is not much faster than walking. Although eating grass is enough, the efficiency is too low. Therefore, donkey carts and ox carts are generally trucks, or only available in remote rural counties. There are basically no big cities like Xianyang, and there are kings, princes, princes, ministers, and wealthy merchants look down on them even more.

Since Chen Xu solved the flexible turn of four-wheeled carriages, four-wheeled carriages have now begun to become popular among the wealthy class. It is not that they can't afford it, but that there is no time to make several carriage factories outside the city.

Huangfu Que, who came to hear the news, came up to greet him with a group of managers from the hotel. Seeing Chen Xu's face with injuries, he limped out of the carriage with a little limp, and quickly rushed up to help Chen Xu down. Ying Shiman and Meng Wan followed him down with Xing'er and Yu Ji.

Meng Yi and his wife also got out of the carriage, Meng Yun and Ying Liman also got out of a carriage behind with their daughter.

After a messy greeting, a group of people led by Huangfu Que to visit Xuri Dongsheng Pavilion, where Chen Xu specially invited guests to dinner.

"Mr. Marquis, I heard that you fell off the horse's back. It's okay!" Huangfu Que asked carefully.

"It's okay, don't worry, hurry up and arrange someone to prepare a banquet!" Chen Xu waved his hand and drove Huangfu Que away. This guy didn't open the pot and brought up any pot. I guess the whole of Xianyang City will know about this embarrassment today.

While waiting for the meal, Xing'er and Yu Ji took Meng Ping'er to the yard to play. Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Ying Liman and Meng Yi's wife gathered in the inner room to play mahjong and chat and joke. Only Chen Xu, Meng Yun and Meng Yi were left on the table.

"Son-in-law, I heard that Ling Zun had suddenly returned home for seven years?" Meng Yi asked lightly while drinking tea.

"Yes, my father participated in the Battle of Chu seven years ago and suffered heavy damage on the battlefield..." Chen Xu took tea while bringing out what he said to the emperor and said it again.

"Since Brother Hu is back, why didn't he come to Xianyang with me? Isn't it great to be able to get together and chat and drink from time to time?" Meng Yi said with some regret.

Chen Xu couldn't help but jump a few times and couldn't help but complain a few times.

Although my father is not a good father, and he is unwilling to return home if he has a woman outside, his father-in-law is not a good father-in-law. He is a well-known old hooligan in Xianyang. If my father comes to Xianyang, he will probably be ruined by you in a few days. What if he buys a concubine at home every few days? Although his status is low, if he gives birth to a lot of half-brothers and sisters for himself, how can he face it in the future? So it is better not to meet your parents.

"Brother-in-law, how did you calculate that Uncle Hu was still alive?" Meng Yun, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly asked curiously.

"There have been people who have deduced the secrets of heaven since ancient times. Many Fangdao sorcerers who have studied the Book of Changes can calculate some bad luck. The son-in-law is a disciple of the immortal family. It is naturally not difficult to calculate. You are asked to read more books on weekdays, but you only like to mess around with a group of playboys all day long. They are all such a big man and don't go home all day long. Not to mention the princess, I have not given birth to a grandson for me now. I have been tolerant of you for a long time!" Meng Yi said with a beard and glaring at me.

Uh! Meng Yun shrank his neck and wanted to bury his head under the table.

Chen Xu also shook his face and looked out the window. The old hooligan seemed to have started to criticize the mulberry and scold the gods again.

"My father-in-law, my uncle is now in charge of papermaking workshops across the country and is busy every day. Now the spring scenery is pleasant and you can have fun in your spare time, so why blame me!" Chen Xu exonerated his elder brother-in-law.

"What my brother-in-law said is that I haven't played for a long time. Paper mills are now being opened everywhere in the country. I need to arrange craftsmen to provide guidance. I eat and live in the office. I have no time to return home. It's not my intention to neglect the princess..." Meng Yun defended himself as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

"Fuck, I saw you playing in the Inn Street a few days ago until the early morning before returning home. Could it be that you thought you were blind!" Meng Yi scolded angrily.

"Ah, why did my father know that I was playing in Inn Street until dawn?" Meng Yun stammered at his father.

"Hmph, I naturally went to the Inn Street to play!" Meng Yi said angrily.

"Then...why didn't I see my father's car?"

"Of course I went there secretly..."

Chen Xu was covered in black and had no words to the father and son.

The crows do not talk about pigs and black, but they are actually the same virtues and ancestral hooligans.

Meng Yi seemed to feel that it was indeed a bit embarrassing to talk about this topic in front of his son-in-law, so he snorted coldly and went to the inner room to watch several women playing mahjong. Chen Xu and Meng Yun then looked up at each other with relief, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Brother-in-law, your injury is fine?" Meng Yun finally asked Chen Xu's injury for the first time.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm blamed for being too careless. The bamboo kite pulled too much after it took off. I forgot your instructions at that time. Now I'm plagued my uncle and several friends, and I feel quite uneasy!" Chen Xu blushed and bowed to apologize.

"Oh, it seems that we can only play with some kites that our brother-in-law uses paper to make them. It is easy to let them fly. Unfortunately, they are not masculine at all when they play!" Meng Yun sighed and shook his head while covering his purple cheeks.

"The kites can only be played with for women and children. How can we play with those boring things? After a few days, my uncle helped me find a few craftsmen who can make bamboo kites. We will make a glider!"

When I was a child, I was very interested in playing kites. Now that I am old this year, Chen Xu couldn't be interested in this activity. However, after playing with bamboo kites today, Chen Xu suddenly realized that the craftsmanship of Daqin was already very awesome. If this kind of bamboo kite is designed and modified, it may be able to fly people.

Gliders are like sailing boats. They are high-end equipment in sports activity groups. People who can afford to play these two groups are not afraid of death, but are not afraid of fatigue, and are free and rich. They are much taller than climbing and climbing. Although the danger is much higher, they still cannot stop those sports enthusiasts with their heads tied to their belts. Later, people were not satisfied with playing gliders, and people with slits began to play gliders.

Of course, Chen Xu's head was not slit, but he might as well instigate some guys who are not afraid of death and love adventure sports to participate. Once the experiment is successful, the theory of aerodynamics will be pushed forward a lot. Since ancient times, soaring freely like a bird like a bird has always been the ultimate dream of mankind. In human history, countless people have sprinkled blood on the sky, but they still cannot stop human desire for flight.

"What is a glider?" Meng Yun was suddenly full of doubts and interest in the new term that popped up in Chen Xu's mouth.

"The glider is an enlarged version of the bamboo kite, several times larger than yours, and then you can use the wind to take people into the air!"

"Take people to the sky?" Meng Yunran stood up suddenly.
