Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 103: Ancient City Worry-free

In the plum season, every household has rain, and there are frogs everywhere in the green grass pond. If you don't come after midnight, I will just knock on the chess pieces and watch the lamp flowers fall.

Rain in plum season, frogs in green grass pond. If you don't come at night, chess pieces will fall into the lamp flowers.

Plum rain, green grass pond frog. If you don't come as promised, chess pieces and lantern flowers.

Plum rain, green grass frog, can’t come, falling lamp flowers.

Plum rain, frogs, don’t come, lamp flowers.

It was raining outside the window, and there was a dim light inside. Qiao Lili listened to the sound of rain and waited for Yu Jingyan to come back. She was so bored that she changed a poem into pieces. If the author knew about this, he would definitely come through the rain and fog to argue with her.

Well, she slept too much during the day and is free now. We can talk about poetry and songs, which is just right to kill the long time on this rainy night.

I don't know why, but when we are busy, time flies by very fast. But when it comes to waiting, time is like a stubborn bull that is fighting with you. It looks back every few steps and won't move forward even if you whip it.

Come, come, you are welcome to knock on my door at any time of night with a walking stick. If there is no moon, just come in the rain. Anyway, you are all the same, with a bamboo stick and straw sandals, lighter than a horse, you can go anywhere in Spring, Autumn, Tang and Song dynasties.

Just when Qiao Lili was letting her imagination run wild and lying on the table wanting to hold a seminar with the poet, the door rang. Qiao Lili didn't even have time to put on her shoes and ran to the door to see Yu Jingyan coming in, dripping with water, with a look of joy on his face.

After taking off the raincoat, he found that Qiao Lili was barefoot, so he quickly picked her up and said, "You little thing, can't you be obedient? How much time did it take you to put on shoes? If you don't want to wear them, let the girl do it. Where is the girl?" Yu Jingyan stretched his head to look for her, but Qiao Lili was the only one in the room.

"Stop shouting. They haven't slept well for several days. I let them go to bed early." She lied to them and said that she was going to sleep and asked them to go to bed too. She let her hair down, changed her pajamas, and of course took off her socks. The two of them watched her lie down before leaving.

After Qiao Lili used threats and inducements for a long time, the two girls finally gave up and wanted to keep one on night duty. Now that they were quarreling, she knew she had lied to them, and she also wanted to save face.

Yu Jingyan put Qiao Lili on the bed. Qiao Lili quickly picked up a coat and put it on. The pajamas were too thin, and she noticed that Yu Jingyan had been looking at something with his head down.

Following his gaze, she saw her own feet. Qiao Lili quickly pulled her two little feet back and hid them under her coat.

This was the first time Yu Jingyan saw Qiao Lili's feet. He had never seen them even when she was a child. These two little feet were white and tender, as white as jade, and the ten little toes were like pearls, and each toenail was gleaming with a faint pink glow.

The ground must have been cold from stepping on it just now. He wanted to hold them in his hands to keep them warm, and he wanted to hold them in his arms to warm them, but - he didn't dare.

Mother, dear mother, please go to the Imperial Observatory and ask which day is a good day. Your son is waiting to get married.

Hey, the toes can actually move. They bend and retract. How can this arc be so cute? Then, the little feet also move, hiding - where? What, where are my little feet? I haven't even seen them clearly, how come they are hidden in my clothes?

Qiao Lili coughed strategically and Yu Jingyan shivered with fear. What should he do? What should he do? He was caught peeking at little A-li's feet. He felt his back was soaked with sweat. Fortunately, his clothes were already wet.

"Ajing, go change your clothes first and then we can talk." Seeing Yu Jingyan's embarrassment, Qiao Lili wanted to get him out of the way first.

"Okay." After saying that, Yu Jingyan didn't even look up. He turned around and walked out, with a look of fleeing in panic. This was the first time she called him "Ajing" and he didn't correct her to call him "Brother Ajing".

Qiao Lili leaned on the bed, stretched her neck, and saw that Yu Jingyan had indeed gone out. She also heard the sound of the door closing. She turned around, found the socks taken off by the two girls, quickly put them on her feet, picked up the shoes on the ground, put them on, and sat down obediently at the table.

I wanted to pour a cup of tea, but the water was cold.

Yu Jingyan came back with Kuailai. Kuailai brought hot tea, poured it for both of them, and then went out.

Qiao Lili picked it up and took a sip: "Hmm? Meishan Longjing." It was not the leaf tea she had drunk before. "How come there is good tea again?"

"In the afternoon, the government office of Dunhua Ancient City sent a batch of supplies. Some of them were given to the team from the capital, and the vast majority were distributed to the villagers of Huaijiang Beach."

The supplies sent to them included food, writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone and tea, while the supplies sent to the villagers included clothes, bedding, grain, vegetables and meat.

Very thoughtful and considerate.

Speaking of Huaijiang Beach, Yu Jingyan became excited. He grabbed Qiao Lili's hand on the table and said excitedly: "Ali, in the evening, the water on Huaijiang Beach was full, and then it really flowed out from that narrow pass and flowed into the Huaijiang River."

The reason why he came back late was that he wanted to see whether what he and Ali had originally planned could succeed. As a result, the flood really followed the route they had planned in advance. How could this not make people excited and thrilled?

You know, that was a flood, a flood that could swallow up a village or a town in an instant. Who had it listened to? Never. But now, it listened to Ali's words. He told it to go to Huaijiang Beach, and it went there obediently. He told it to go to Huaijiang there, and it went there obediently. It was so magical.

Huaijiang Ridge and Qinjiang Ridge also flow into the sea, forming small islands and reefs in the sea. With these two mountain ranges escorting the whole way, there is no need to worry about the Huaijiang River bursting its banks somewhere.

"Ali, I've thought about it. The sluice gate should not be built on the embankment leading to Huaijiang Beach, but should be built on Ganjiang River, below the flood discharge outlet, and a sluice gate should be built." Qiao Lili already knew that this sluice gate was designed by Yu Jingyan himself over the past three months, and it was very practical.

"The vast majority of the Gan River water flows through the Huai River Beach and into the sea."

"The Gan River flowing through the ancient city of Dunhua only needs to be sufficient for residents' water use and irrigation, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the dam."

"If there is a problem with the dam one day and it endangers the ancient city of Dunhua, we can close the gates and let all the water from the Gan River flow into the sea from the Huai River. The ancient city of Dunhua will no longer have to worry about it."

This project is huge. The sluice gates on the Gan River, the sluice gates at the weir, and the simple dams need to be built into dams that can withstand the entire Gan River water. The mountains around the Huaijiang Beach also need to be surveyed. However, as long as there is a plan and a goal, completion is only a matter of time.

“The ancient city of Dunhua can continue to be passed down.”

"Yeah." At least while he was alive, he would ensure that the ancient city would not be damaged in any way.

Dunhua Ancient City is not only the historical and cultural heritage of the city itself, but also the heritage of the entire Dayan. With it, Dayan knows where it came from.
