Chapter 186 On the road
Everyone was very satisfied with the lunch prepared by the imperial chefs and praised it highly.
To be able to prepare such a meal under these conditions truly demonstrates considerable skill.
After lunch and a short rest, the carriage resumed its journey.
This time, we will not rest until we set up camp.
The executive officer had originally planned to take a detour to a scenic spot and set up camp.
The emperor directly refused, and this time, the trip was to be conducted without extravagance or disturbing the public.
They traveled at full speed, and wherever they ended up at night, they would choose an open space to set up camp.
They say they'll go somewhere at night, but the distance they travel each day is all planned out.
The carriage was much quieter in the afternoon, lacking the excitement of the morning.
After repeatedly assuring his grandfather that he would obey, Situ Minghe boarded the Jia family's carriage.
The journey this morning has taken us far from the capital. Although we are now traveling on official roads, they are not as smooth and wide as they were when we first left the capital.
After Situ Minghe arrived, he asked if there was anything fun to do.
Jia Hu was, of course, prepared; he had watched the TV series.
This isn't like a TV drama where you can reach your destination in just one episode.
This is a real trip, and it will take a long time to walk along the road. To avoid getting bored, he brought along toys, puzzles, Rubik's Cubes, and building blocks.
This thing doesn't take up much space and can help pass the time on the road. He even brought several jigsaw puzzles with him.
At lunchtime, he had his servant move his things onto the carriage so he could kill time in the afternoon.
Situ Minghe is a loyal customer of the toy store.
In the past, he didn't even have to ask; he would get any good stuff from the shop immediately.
Later, with the arrival of his younger brother Jia Hu, there was even less to worry about. Anything that came along would be sent to the Crown Prince's residence immediately.
Upon seeing the puzzles and Rubik's Cubes, Situ Minghe laughed and said, "We had the same idea. I brought some too, but the patterns seem to be different."
Jia Hu laughed and said:
"I've already sent you a copy of the design. You should have brought one with you this time; it's different from mine."
Each puzzle piece has a different image; if they were all the same, what would be the point?
The puzzles in the toy store sold very well, initially mostly bought by children.
Later, a distinguished guest suggested that the patterns on the puzzle could be decorated with some flowers and scenery.
The manager discovered upon investigation that the biggest buyers were the young ladies from various households.
These things are perfect for passing the time.
Previously, in order to cater to children, different series were recommended for different age groups.
There are various round shapes, cute little animals, and large characters, etc.
This is not only popular with children, but also with parents.
This not only allowed the children to play, but also helped them learn about things.
The ladies also thought it was good for passing the time, but they also felt that the patterns on it were rather childish.
If there were some flowers and plants, the scenery would be even better, according to the steward. Jia She then asked Jia Hu for his opinion.
Jia She thought, since someone wants it, then let's get it.
Add all sorts of fresh flowers, plants, and scenery.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Hu then launched a collection of landscape paintings and ancient poems.
Another approach is to leave blank spaces for landscape and flower illustrations, allowing the young ladies and gentlemen to fill in the blanks and then add their own poems.
