Chapter 221 Teach Bengong to Ski

Chapter 22

When Song Nan came back from the palace, she had to become a carpenter. If she had visited the sports equipment store once, she brushed the gold card and got a pair of exquisite skis. However, in these days, everything had to be done by herself.

Uncle Zhong found five carpenters to listen to Song Nan's dispatch. Song Nan pointed out for a long time. The old carpenters all opened their mouths and didn't know why. After working as carpenters for so many years, no one had seen anyone make a wooden board to stand on the snow and gliding on the snow. The old carpenters thought that Lord Song must have been filled with too much soup during the New Year. It's fine. It's okay. Come and entertain them.

Song Nan had no choice but to do it by herself. There are no high-strength composite materials these days, and can only be replaced by suitable wood. The choice of wood should be strong, tough and not too heavy. Of course, Song Nan does not plan to make a handicraft that can be passed down to later generations, as long as it can be dealt with in the afternoon. Come on, it's much easier to choose.

After weighing, Song Nan chose white birch. Although the wood was slightly hard, it was full of toughness, so with an order, the dissatisfied old carpenters began to produce according to Song Nan's requirements.

Later generations, Song Nan likes skiing and surfing and other sports. She knows the structure of the snowboard very well. She pays attention to the length and width of the snowboard. Song Nan estimated the height and weight of Zhengde and Princess Corning and her own situation and made three pairs of boards with different length and width, which are also tailor-made.

The next step is to straighten up the head and wax the board. With the formation of little by little, Song Nan's heart gradually jumped up. For Song Nan, who loves this way, he did not touch anything like surfing and skiing after coming to the Ming Dynasty. Even if he played tennis and golf with Zhengde, it was just too much. Addiction, Zhengde is no match at all, and he doesn't understand the essence of these sports.

Song Nan also respects her identity. These days, there is a lot of gossip. If a court official runs to the top of the mountain to ski, she will naturally be criticized, but it doesn't matter if she plays with the emperor in the palace, and she also takes the opportunity to enjoy it.

It took some trouble to install the foot groove, but the old carpenters had a way to drill a hole in the lower part of the board, drill a hole with a strong thin hemp rope, and fill the groove with tung oil mud to flatten it. After drying, it and waxed it, which turned out to be very flat.

I was busy until dark at night, and the three pairs of snowboards were finally completed. The walking stick was easy to do, the windshield was a little difficult, and there was no way to make it for a while. So Song Nan prepared a few thin veils like cicada wings and tried them on the hat like a beekeeper's mask. She was immediately satisfied. As long as this thing could block the splash Snow and cold wind can be used.

Several old carpenters were indignant. They thought that Lord Song invited him and others to come to make some furniture. They were about to show their craftsmanship, but they came to make something they didn't know what to do, which was simply an insult to their craft. Fortunately, Uncle Zhong accompanied them to pour some yellow soup and gave more rewards, which made him a little mood. Ping, drunk and drunk.

After dinner, Song Nan tried it in the snow in the backyard, and then wiped it clean and put it in the house. Lu Qingli, Ye Fanggu and others were also extremely curious. They knew that Song Nan had many flowers. This time, it was the first time she saw the things that she slipped on the snow. Lu Qingli clamored for Song Nan to make a pair for her. Song Nan was naturally happy. Yes, but that can only be taken.

The next morning, Song Nan took these things into the palace. Zhengde looked at what Song Nan brought and felt very strange. He pointed to it and asked, "Can this thing slide up?" Do you want to drag the mule ahead?"

Song Nan laughed dumbly and said, "You will know when you get to the place."

Zhengde hurriedly ordered people to go to Cining Palace to let Princess Kangning come over, let the imperial dining room prepare hot soup and snacks, and eat warmly. Then he went to the Long Live Mountain in the north.

The gently slope of the Shandong foothill was originally a golf course opened by Zhengde. Now the heavy snow is covered, and everyone stopped under the slope. In order not to destroy the snow, Song Nan asked Liu Jin and others not to walk around, and led Zhengde and Princess Corning to climb up the hillside.

It is very inconvenient to climb the slope in the snow. Zhengde is tired and breathless, and Princess Corning's face is also red. Both of them wear thick brocade robes to keep out the cold. This time, when they climb the slope, they are naturally extremely heavy.

Song Nan had to drag up with one hand, and Zhengde was fine, but holding Princess Kangning's soft and boneless little hand, Song Nan herself felt embarrassed, but Princess Kangning didn't seem to care. She held Song Nan's hand tightly and said repeatedly, "It's really interesting. It's really interesting. I haven't climbed the mountain for a long time. I feel that my body is not working well.

Zhengde also said, "Isn't it? I remember that I climbed the mountain on a snowy night when I was a child. At that time, my father put me around his neck, but I didn't feel that it was so hard to walk."

Song Nan checked the route of sliding down the mountain and said, "Although it is hard to go up the mountain, the feeling of sliding down is absolutely unparalleled."

The three climbed under a strange locust tree on the hillside. The locust tree snowed very thinly, so they leaned on the trunk to rest. Zhengde kicked the locust trunk and kicked the snow stained on the boots clean, but kicked the snow on the tree down, which shocked Corning to hide in chaos.

Song Nan suddenly remembered something and suddenly stood in fear and looked at the locust tree without making a sound. Kang Ning felt strange and asked, "Song Nan, what's the beauty of this locust tree? It's extremely ugly. It's a little bad to order people to cut it down another day. I feel that everything here is good, but this locust tree is a little annoying. "

Zhengde laughed and said, "It's just a tree. How can you make the royal sister unhappy?"

Song Nan was speechless. He remembered that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hung and died on the locust tree in the foothills of Shandong after Li Zicheng invaded Beijing. This is the hillside of the eastern foothill. The nearby hillside on the left has cut down trees because it was transformed into a golf course, but somehow left this locust tree and looked at the horizontal The branches seemed to be specially born to hang on themselves. When I thought about it, I suddenly shuddered, and I felt that the old locust tree also seemed to open its teeth and claws.

Zhengde patted Song Nan and said, "What are you thinking? How to slip? Teach me quickly."

Song Nan came to her senses and decided that she must cut down this evil tree. Whether it was the one that Chongzhen hung or not, she could not keep her heart blocked.

"Your Majesty, princess, I will slide to you first to have a look, and then I will come up to teach you some basic essentials."

Zhengde clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you can demonstrate for me and my royal sister to study."

Song Nan took off the cloak, exposed the neat tights, removed the skis on his shoulders, tied them tightly, put them on the mask, and arched his hand and said, "I'll demonstrate first."

Corning felt really funny when he saw Song Nan's strange clothes, but Song Nan was neatly dressed and looked very capable, which made Kang Ning look more.

Song Nan found a starting point, supported his cane, bent his legs, and his center of gravity sank. After a few times of help, his body flew down the hillside like a big bird. Zhengde opened his mouth and stared and watched Song Nan swinging left and right along the hillside flexibly, flying away like a eagle, with great movements.

Kangning didn't expect to be so fast. He covered his little mouth and exclaimed, and his heart jumped wildly, but he was a little timid. Zhengde clapped his hands and laughed, "It's fun, like a meteor rushing the moon, the wind and lightning. What a Song Nan, has such a fun thing to teach me until now."

Song Nan waved to her heart's content and jumped up in the air from time to time. When she fell, there was a splash of snow and fog. She heard an exclaim from the foot of the mountain. She was extremely proud and seemed to have returned to the later generations in a trance. I remember that once when I raced with foreigners in the snow field of the Alps and jumped dozens of meters from the steep hillside, the foreigner's exclamation was also so undisguised; in Song Nan's opinion, the hillside here is short and slow, which is simply a drizzle compared with the rapid descent of the mountains of later generations.

Song Nan slid to the snow at the foot of the mountain and stopped the car. Liu Jin and other attendants in front of him were stunned. Liu Jin shouted, "Lord Song, where are the emperor and the princess?"

Song Nan said, "On the hillside."

Liu Jin shouted, "How can you leave the emperor and princess alone to have fun?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, you can't speak today. It's better to stay at the foot of the mountain and wait. I'll go."

Liu Jin stamped his face and said, "If there is an accident with the emperor and the princess..."

Song Nan ignored it. She turned around and climbed up the mountain. He threw it over and said, "Doesn't Duke Liu think you are the only one loyal in the world? Euke Liu, don't worry about it."

Liu Jin was furious, but he did not dare to disobey Zhengde's order and take a step. He calmly watched Song Nan climb up the hillside step by step.

Song Nan returned to the locust tree. Zhengde was very happy and had already put the snowboard on his feet to take action. Song Nan quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I haven't taught you the essentials yet. Come here to the gentle place. I will teach you how to control your speed and body."

Zhengde happily accompanied him and came to the gentle snow beside him. Professor Song Nan was a careful professor. Zhengde was indeed a genius in play. In a quarter of an hour, he actually slipped.

Song Nan did not dare to let Zhengde slide downhill immediately and let Zhengde practice more on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. He turned his head and said to Princess Corning, "Princess, you also have to come and learn."

Corning wanted and was afraid, but when he saw that Zhengde was slippery, he waved to Song Nan and said, "Come here, undress my palace and teach me how to ski."
