25.Chapter 25 A chance encounter with a gentle man
While I was rubbing my hands, I was blowing hot air into my hands with my mouth. My feet were constantly stepping back and forth on the ground due to the cold, in order to add some heat to my body.
The curtain of the carriage behind him was opened from the inside, and a gentle face with a smile was revealed. He looked at me and said: "Girl, we are going into the city. Are we going the same way? Do you want to come up and warm yourself?"
"Thank you, sir!" I stood on the roadside in the cold early winter wearing a soaking skirt. I already felt that my limbs were stiff and about to freeze to death. Seeing the man's kind face, I stepped into the car without ceremony. The interior of the car was dark, only
There was a small pot of charcoal fire that was about to go out, and nothing could be seen clearly.
I was a little embarrassed and a little nervous, thinking to myself what I would do if I met someone who was a prostitute? But after a while, the oil lamp was lit. I saw the gentle man who just talked to me holding the lamp in his hand and looking at me.
I looked a little nervous and smiled warmly at me.
I quickly imitated the behavior of the people of Qin State, raised my hands and said, "The little girl went to the city to visit friends. She accidentally fell into the water while walking at night. Fortunately, she was rescued by a noble man. I am very grateful."
"When you go out, you don't encounter some difficulties. It's nothing to help you. Come on, come over and bake by the fire." As he said this, the gentle man pulled me to the charcoal basin in the carriage and wrapped the brocade quilt in the carriage.
On my body.
"Come on, drink a cup of hot tea quickly to warm yourself up." The gentle man poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to me, adding some charcoal to the stove.
"Thank you, sir." I quickly took it. After some pleasantries, I found out that this gentle man was going to Xianyang City to do business. His name was Zheng Guo. He was born in South Korea. He was actually a native of the Zheng State. After the Zheng State was destroyed by the Han Dynasty,
, Zheng people are scattered in various countries, but they all have Zheng as their surname.
"Where is the girl from?" The gentle man's voice was low and soft, just like the gentle impression he gave people, making people want to get close to him without even realizing it.
"I can be considered half a Zhengguo. My mother is from Zhengguo and my father is from Qin. I am the only daughter left in old age. She is now deceased. Now I have come to Xianyang City to join my friends."
In modern times, my mother is from Henan and my father is from Shaanxi. According to the modern geographical location of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, it is not wrong for me to say this, and it can be a bit similar by the way. It’s just Dad, Dad, fortunately he is in the two
After more than a thousand years, you won't hear me messing with him like this.
"Are you running a business in Xianyang City, or are you?" I saw that the gentleman was dressed well, and looking at the carriage, his status should be either rich or noble.
"According to the order of the King of Qin, a channel to divert Jing River was dug." The gentle man took a sip of tea and replied slowly.
Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. This... this couldn't be the Zheng State that built the Zheng Guo Canal in history. According to legend, the Zheng State was ordered to enter the Qin Dynasty to lobby Qin Shihuang to win the government, and advocated digging canals to irrigate the fields. This was actually an attempt to weaken the state.
Qin's national strength made it unable to conquer South Korea. However, after the formation of the canal, the land within Qin's territory became fertile wilderness, which greatly enhanced Qin's strength.
Now that I have met Zheng Guo, is Ying Zheng now an adult? There is a big question mark in my mind, but I am afraid that Zheng Guo will be suspicious of me, so I dare not ask any more questions.
With the sound of the city gate opening, the carriage slowly drove into Xianyang City. At this time, the Qin State already had a simple household registration system. Because Zheng Guo was a court official, no detailed investigation was conducted. I was secretly glad in my heart. What a wonderful encounter.
To your honour, otherwise I won’t even be able to enter Xianyang City Gate.
It was still early, so Zheng Guo invited me to go to his resting place to rest for a while before looking for friends.
In front of me is a water conservancy expert who has made his name throughout the history of China. I have an inexplicable affection and trust for him. I thank him repeatedly and follow him back home. You know, Zhengguo Canal, Dujiangyan, and Ling Canal are the three major water conservancy projects of the Qin Dynasty. They are utilitarian.
For generations to come.
Zheng Guo lived in a post house. Post houses in the Qin Dynasty were mostly used for soldiers conveying military information to rest and exchange horses. They were also used as places for local officials to stay when they returned to Xianyang to report on their work. High-end post houses could also be used to receive foreign envoys.
.I looked around quietly. The post here was of a very high level and fully equipped. It seemed that Zheng Guo was very important.
The considerate servant quickly prepared hot water for me. I took off the skirt that was soaked and half-dried by the heat of my body, and stepped naked into the steaming tub.
"It's so comfortable!" The warm water suddenly enveloped my cold body, and I sighed repeatedly in comfort.
"Qingchi." Zheng Guowen's voice sounded at the door. The door was pushed open from the outside. Did I forget to close the door just now?!
"Ah!" I whispered and quickly submerged my body into the water. Zheng Guo at the door also panicked when he saw this. It was really a bloody scene in a romantic drama, but I encountered it. I rubbed my hands and pointed at him with my mouth.
My hands were feeling hot, and my feet were constantly stepping back and forth on the ground due to the cold, in an attempt to add some heat to my body.
