Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 102 Haidong Academy

Yu Jingyan basically ate the meal. Qiao Lili didn't eat much. She ate a big bowl of soup and then fell asleep. She wasn't hungry at all.

But Caiqi and Caixing, who came to clean the table, told the truth directly. They said that the young lady liked the soup so much that she didn't even eat her lunch properly. This made them more determined to buy the secret recipe from the owner.

The table was cleared and tea was served. In fact, there was no tea. Yu Jingyan had drunk all the tea he brought from the capital. He followed the embankment all the way and had no time to care about anything else. Besides, even if there was tea, he couldn't drink it. He was either on the embankment or under the embankment day and night. It would be good if someone could prepare some boiled water for him.

Today's tea is from the headman's house. It's made from some kind of leaves from the mountains, and it's quite refreshing.

"Will Dunhua Ancient City accept the villagers evacuated from Huaijiang Beach?" asked Qiao Lili.

I don’t know if Yu Jingyan has solved this problem after being out for a whole morning. The villagers had evacuated Huaijiang Beach before, and they must have thought that they would go back in a few days. But now they see that their homes are gone and turned into a vast ocean. They can never go back again. They don’t know how to live in the future. They must be panicked and anxious. So this problem must be solved as soon as possible.

“They accepted them all, and in just half a day, they had already developed several plans.”

"We will build houses for the villagers of Huaijiang Beach, give them a year's worth of food, allocate land to them, and arrange for them to do things within their capacity."

"Build a commercial street in the outer city and name it Gratitude Street. All shops will be open to villagers for free for three years." It has to be said that the government office of the ancient city of Dunhua is still very active. If they just wipe their faces and do nothing, saying that it was not us who ordered the dike to be blown up, or if they make excuses and act insincerely, then all this will be the court's business. After all, the court has a long way to go, and it is far more convenient for them to provide assistance.

"That's really good. These villagers will feel better." The pain of leaving their homes can perhaps be diluted by the vision of future life.

"That's not all. The residents of Dunhua Ancient City have also spontaneously proposed many ways to help the villagers of Huaijiangtan." Yu Jingyan took a sip of tea and acted as if he was going to give a detailed talk.

"Oh, that's something I'd like to hear." Qiao Lili cooperated very well, acting like a primary school student listening to a teacher's lecture.

"Some shops put out job openings, but they only recruit villagers from Huaijiang Beach."

"Some workshops offer free instruction on traditional craftsmanship, but only for villagers from Huaijiang Beach."

"I walked this path from Dunhua Ancient City. To be honest, I was very moved. It is worthy of being an ancient city with a thousand-year heritage. It knows how to be grateful and give back."

"Ali, do you know that there is a most famous academy in Dayan in the ancient city of Dunhua?" If Yu Jingyan had not gone to Yunmeng Lake, he would have wanted to come to Haidong Academy to study.

"Of course I know. Haidong Academy is in the inner city of the ancient city. My brother once came here to study for a year. At that time, I wanted to disguise myself as his book boy and follow him secretly." Speaking of her brother, she felt a strong longing in her heart. She hadn't seen her brother for many years in her two lives. "I heard that it has a history of a thousand years. It was built during the legendary Haidong Holy Kingdom period and has been passed down to this day. Is that true?"

“I haven’t verified this, but today the principal of the academy announced that the academy will vacate all the students’ dormitories and accept villagers from Huaijiangtan to move in. Their academy will suspend classes from tomorrow, and all students will help the villagers of Huaijiangtan build houses until the houses are habitable.” When Yu Jingyan heard the news at that time, he was shocked. With such a broad mind and bearing, he would surely produce a talented person with aspirations to become a genius.

"So, it is not undeserved that Haidong Academy is ranked as the number one academy in Dayan." In such a place far away from the capital, it is more famous than Fenglong Academy in the capital. It must have its outstanding features.

The two were originally sitting on both sides of the table drinking tea and talking. After Cai Qi and Cai Xing left, Yu Jingyan's chair slowly moved around the table. At some point, it was next to Qiao Lili.

Yu Jingyan quietly grabbed Qiao Lili's hand under the table, "Ali, are you really okay? You didn't eat much for lunch. I'll take you to Dunhua Ancient City to find a clinic tomorrow?"

Qiao Lili patted the back of Yu Jingyan's hand with her other hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I'm not hungry at noon, I will eat more at night."

Yu Jingyan kneaded Qiao Lili's soft and boneless little hand. The back of her hand was very tender and smooth, but why was there a thin callus at the junction of her fingers and palm? He touched her other hand and found the same thing. He understood what was going on.

He lowered his head to look at it, kneading it with heartache: "Ali, what weapon did you use to rub your hands like this?"

"gun."

"That silver snake spear?"

"You know?" The sentence was very short, and the two people's eyes gradually became distant.

"Yes." He said he knew, but he didn't say why. Qiao Lili was about to ask more when Kuai Lai replied from outside the door: "Master, there is news."

The two of them quickly sat down and said, "Bring it in."

The news from upstream said that the rain has subsided there. This is really good news. No wonder Kuai Lai was in such a hurry to come back.

Qiao Lili walked to the window and looked out. The rain here seemed to be lighter.

He went in and out quickly, but the charming atmosphere was broken.

"I'll go to the embankment to take a look." Yu Jingyan also wanted to convey the attitude of Dunhua Ancient City to the villagers of Huaijiang Beach to reassure them. After the rain stops, they will be organized to go to Dunhua Ancient City. I believe that by then the ancient city will have made all preparations to receive them.

"Can I go?" Qiao Lili asked weakly.

"No." Yu Jingyan answered firmly.

"Hmph." Qiao Lili turned away and didn't look at him.

"Ali, you are the best. Be obedient. It's still raining outside. If you get sick, my mother will kill me when you go back." Yu Jingyan moved Qiao Lili's body over, held up her little face, and looked at her pouting little mouth, which was so bright red. He really wanted to kiss her, but what should he do?

But he didn't dare. If he kissed her, would Xiao A Li feel that he was being abrupt? What if he ignored him? He swallowed his saliva and endured it.

As soon as Qiao Lili arrived, his mother's people arrived right after, and said bluntly that if she didn't take good care of her little A-Li, she would lose her son at a young age.

I don’t know if Qiao Lili’s mother will receive the news about her fainting yesterday. I feel like there will be worries in the future. It’s not a good thing if the mother-in-law likes her daughter-in-law too much.

Qiao Lili inexplicably felt that Yu Jingyan, who was wearing a raincoat and going out, looked weak and pitiful from behind.

Note: The real Haidong Academy is located in Tainan, Taiwan. It was built in the 59th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign and was the largest academy in Taiwan at that time. It was later changed into an examination hall. In the 15th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, it was changed into Chongwen Academy. It is now Zhongyi Elementary School.

The academic responsibilities of Haidong Academy are: to understand the great principles, to fulfill academic responsibilities, to study pragmatically, to respect classics and history, to correct writing styles, and to be cautious in making friends.
