After traveling to ancient times, I relied on my husband to win

Cheng Ziyan: "Sister Azhi, I will call you Sister Azhi from now on, okay?"

"Okay, call me whatever you like. Our sister Zi Yan is so cute and lovable." As he said that, he pinched Cheng Zi Yan's chubby little face.

"Oh, Sister Azhi, I feel embarrassed when you praise me like this." It was the first time that Cheng Ziyan was teased by someone and she felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing her coy look made the other two people laugh.

"Sister Jiang is right. Our Zi Yan is very popular."

Li Bingyuan also joined in the joke.

"Sister Bing, why are you like this? Oh, you, if you say that again I will ignore you." Cheng Ziyan's face flushed, and she was very embarrassed and angry.

Jiang Zhi and Lin Bingyuan smiled faintly, stopped joking, and started talking about other things.

Bursts of girls' laughter came from the box, like the clear sound of silver bells, pleasant to the ears and making people feel happy.

Later in the evening, the three of them reluctantly parted ways, and wanted to make plans to travel together in the future.

Jiang Zhi returned to the Qin Mansion, but Qin Yan and Qin Rui had not returned yet.

She went to pay her respects to Mrs. Qin first, chatting and laughing with her, picking out interesting things that had happened recently to tell her, for fear that she would be bored.

Old Lady Qin was also happy. She had finally made it through. From the time the Qin family was wrongly accused and she had to guard the Qin residence alone to now having her grandson, granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter around her. The Qin family had been cleared of the charges, and she had changed from her previous lifeless look. Now she was smiling every day as she watered the flowers, took a walk, and watched the flowers sprout as her grandson had hoped.

Every day, the granddaughter-in-law would take time out to accompany her, the old woman, and she also knew that Jiang Zhi was a good person.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted happily.

On the other side, Qin Rui squatted on the ground and looked at her brother, sighing silently, and said in a complaining tone: "Didn't you say you would come to pick me up? Don't you see what time it is? If I didn't come, you would probably forget that you have a sister. Usually at this time, I'm at home playing with my grandmother for a long time."

Qin Yan didn't even raise his head, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I get it. I was planning to pick you up in a while, but you came here by yourself. You can't blame me, okay, I'll be done soon, you can play here by yourself for a while, and I'll take you home when I'm done."

I continued to assemble the two wheels in my hands, still thinking about how to replace modern gears and chains to facilitate the movement of the bicycle.

It is recalled that a simplified version of the bicycle appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties in history. However, it used the legs to find the ground and had no pedals. It only slightly increased the speed of walking and was called a "trojan horse wheel". It had not yet reached the speed of a bicycle.

Well, now we can only use wood to carve two large and small gears, and then use wood to carve the chain, but wood is not flexible enough, so we use bamboo instead and use the mortise and tenon structure to put the magic buckle and chain cutter made of bamboo together.

Although the chain is not smooth, it is much better than wood. Then use the triangle method to stabilize it to connect the two wheels, and then install the wooden seat and handlebars.

Now all that's missing is the brakes. You can use wood to place a block on the front wheel. Although it will wear out, it can be replaced. Finally, install the gears, chain and pedals.

A bicycle would be enough, but Qin Yan made a bicycle the size of a child.

The roads in ancient times were rugged and uneven, making them not suitable for bicycles at all. Bicycles could only be used for transportation and play in the backyards of mansions.

However, as for the behavior of the ladies in the backyards of ancient times, they might just watch for novelty. Their upbringing did not allow them to do such indecent behavior as riding bicycles. In the end, only the rich children would like it because it was novel.

Since this is something my wife wants to sell, of course every aspect must be considered.

Qin Yan finally assembled the bicycle, but he had to soak it in lime water to sterilize it first, and then buy some mineral pigments to apply on it to prevent the wood from corroding.

Letting the bicycle soak first, Qin Yan brushed the sawdust off himself and looked around before he saw the little girl Qin Rui running to the two apprentices to paint the carved ornaments.

Watching Qin Rui quietly painting and not making any noise, Qin Yan was reminded of modern plaster dolls.

Well, this is a good way to coax people.

He walked over and lifted Qin Rui by the back of her neck. "Okay, I'm done. We should go now. Your sister-in-law and grandmother are waiting for us to go back for dinner."

Qin Rui was being held by the back of her neck, feeling very uncomfortable, and she kept thrashing around, "Put me down! How can you treat your own sister like this?"

Qin Yan loosened his hand, bent down, and looked directly at Qin Rui. "If you hadn't been here, you wouldn't have paid any attention to you. Come on, you little girl who doesn't act like a girl, let's see who will dare to marry you in the future."

Qin Rui quickly tidied up her clothes and said unconvincedly: "Someone wants someone like you, but no one wants me. Humph, I really don't know how my sister-in-law, who is such a good person, could fall in love with you."

Speaking of this, Qin Yan became excited. "I have to tell you about this. Back then, your sister-in-law was famous for her beauty. You don't know how many people were obsessed with her. At that time, I, your brother, relied on my personal charm to defeat a large group of people and won the favor of your sister-in-law."

Finally, he added, "Look at how your brother treats your sister-in-law. In the future, look for someone like him. You know, if the person is not good enough, don't bring him back."

"Hey, how old am I, and you're telling me all this. Humph, anyway, I don't believe that it was my sister-in-law who fell in love with you. It must be because you pestered my sister-in-law every day that my sister-in-law agreed. As for my future, it's too early. I'm going to tell my sister-in-law and grandmother that you want to marry me off, so just wait and see."

Qin Yan stopped talking nonsense and said, "Okay, okay, I can't beat you. Hurry up and pack up. We really have to leave now. If we go back too late, grandma will worry again."

Qin Rui was a little confused, "But, I haven't finished painting my little rabbit yet."

She turned her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at Qin Yan with sparkling eyes.

Qin Yan picked them up directly, and then took a few more. "It's no big deal. Your sister-in-law paid for these things. Just take your own things. I'll go back and tell your sister-in-law. Then take a few more to play with yourself, and also take a few for grandma. She has nothing to do at home, so she can kill time."

When Qin Rui heard that it was her sister-in-law's painting, she jumped up with joy. "Wow, sister-in-law is so great. I like her even more. Let's go, let's go. I want to thank my sister-in-law and show my grandmother the little rabbit I drew."

After packing up, I got on the carriage back home before dark.
