Is this a godsend?

Compared with Lu Shang's worried and black face, the other attendants and dowry maids are like country bumpkins entering the city, they can't see enough everywhere. After entering the Lutai Garden and seeing the beautiful Gantang grove, they even let out a sigh of relief. Admiration.

"Am I going to live in such a place in the future?" Zhou Nu said in a low voice, kneeling on the bullock cart. The best, of course, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse.

In the end, I didn't expect it to be such a place, and the concubines and sisters who came with the dowry were completely distorted with envy. Even the palace of Junfu is not so beautiful, right?

"If he, Ji Chang, can repair it within ten years, I'll write him an obedience letter!" Zishou complained, do you know who the biggest builder of Lutai Palace is?It's the King of Shang!With slaves, it's hard to say whether it can be completed in ten years, but it will be different when he comes.

Those carpenters and slaves are just helping him. If others need pulleys and rope tools, he can lift them up by hand. Especially when erecting beams, it can be done in ten minutes. Instead, the selection and processing of beams takes the most time. superior.

The characteristics of the palaces of the Tang Dynasty are similar to those of the Qin and Han Dynasties, that is, there is a platform at the bottom, and the outside is decorated and wrapped with stones. The structure of the Japanese castle tower is inspired or copied in this way, which can prevent the palace from The ground is moist, and it also has a certain defensive effect.

Inside the palace, the first floor is made of clay tiles, the second and third floors are made of wood, covered with a thick layer of furs. These are the spoils and tributes of the barbarians in the north. Inside the high platform, there are flues and stoves. Slaves could burn fires inside in winter, and the heat and smoke traveled up the water-filled copper pipes, heating the entire building.

High-rise buildings can still be built in this era, but it will be very troublesome, but there is no trouble in front of Zishou. The main reason is that the cow and horse are really easy to use, especially the cow and horse that can carry Hanguang to cut wood. It looks like a humanoid carpentry factory, and Zishou seems to have taken it as some kind of pastime, and realized why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked carpentry so much.

I don’t know why, recently, the family of civil craftsmen of the generation of Modu and Mengjin began to use wood to cut the statue of King Shang in advance. The reason is unknown, and he may have “invented” (copied) a lot of carpentry tools invented by later generations. relationship?There is also the powerful construction ability of the combination of the modern gray man and the power of the gods and men of the Shang Dynasty.

It's a pity that these tools are bound to be lost, for no reason, because only Zi Shou can knock out saw blades and some steel chisels, and only after he knocks them out can he arm the carpenter. With this ability, do you think they all have this kind of consciousness?

With the income of ordinary carpenters and blacksmiths, these high-end equipment cannot be afforded, unless the metallurgical technology and mineral development technology have reached a certain level, and even the exploration technology must meet the standard-mining is really not what someone thinks in the game, Just take a steel pickaxe and knock on the stone - just exploring where there is a mine is a technical problem.

So, in the Shang Dynasty, the biggest dilemma of large-scale steelmaking was not any supporting ideas and technology trees at all, but that you could not find mines, high-quality iron ore and coal mines that were easy to mine on a large scale, and large-scale steelmaking?Make a hammer!

That's really a realistic version of the "Karazan Dilemma": Without high-quality iron ore, ordinary iron ore can't be opened-then go to steel tools for steelmaking! — But I need iron to make steel! ——Then go dig iron! ——I can’t dig without steel tools! ——Then you go to steelmaking!

It is almost such a very interesting state, and what you need is not only iron ore, but also all kinds of messy things. The conclusion is that unless you get an ancient version of the national mineral distribution map and mining sequence map, otherwise, wash Get some sleep.

It can only rely on future generations, who use the soles of their feet to measure the land from generation to generation, find out these minerals hidden in the inaccessible mountains and deep valleys, and then dig the mountains to open roads, transport tools in, and then mine them out.

Even if there are clear guidelines and some supernatural powers, no one can make any progress in a generation or two. What's more, without any guidance, if you use a magic weapon to blow up a mountain, you have to know if there are mines in the mountain, and if it collapses After that, there is no way to clean up the earthwork with artifacts, and that thing is even more of a human black hole.

"It's finished! The rest is the work of putting on the tiles, so it has nothing to do with me." The skeleton walls are all built, and the next step is to send the tiles up and arrange them on the roof. These palaces are completely completed.

Zishou patted the wood ash on his hands, wiped off the sweat on his body with a dry cloth, put on the inner and outer robes of the King of Shang, and soon returned to the adult and dog-like mode of the King of Shang from hunting gray cattle and horses, and was ready to meet Zhou To be honest, after recalling Ji Chang's appearance, he didn't hold out much hope for the daughter sent by Bo. It's almost as good as having Xiaojiabiyu, and she's just a tool person anyway.

In the only completely completed hall, Zishou sat directly behind the table, and a huge white fox slowly walked in from the side, turning into a girl in white fox fur. Oh, the young woman knelt and sat on the right side of King Shang, and then Jiang sat behind her. On the left, this is the side room with the official title.

As for Qionghua, who sat in the starting position, her expression was very calm, and she didn't show any dissatisfaction. After all, they all fed a certain cow and horse thoroughly, and the concept of this era is also very open. got used to.

"Greetings to the King!" Miss Zhou came up with her maids and concubine sisters. She was obviously dressed up. She was wearing a red-bottomed black-edged embroidered coat, cyan inner and petticoat, although red and green are not the same. Most people can handle it, but it's not too awkward to wear on the body. Zishou thinks it's okay, at least it shows that the figure is slim and the legs are slender.

"Well, Uncle Zhou, it's rare to have a beautiful daughter." Zishou laughed, Zhou's daughter really didn't look like her sisters, which made Zishou viciously guess that Uncle Zhou might be learning from the Emperor of Han That set, right?Find a beautiful girl to consider as a righteous daughter, and then send her for a marriage?

But, it doesn't matter, since she was sent here, she must be her own if she is not her own. Just kidding, it's okay to fool the barbarians with this kind of behavior, but to fool the suzerain country, why don't you want to mess around?

"Tell the widow, your name" Asking the name is a relatively important process ceremony at this time. When marrying Jiang, this process will take half a month. However, the concubine is not so particular, after all, it is not eight. The empress who carried the big sedan chair in from the main entrance of Modu ~ laughs ~ [I don’t say that at this time]

"The next female name Tang"

"Oh, a good name." Zishou thought of the pile of Gantang flowers he had planted, and it was indeed a good name. However, the other party's expression seemed a little awkward, and he felt hesitant to speak, but he could only hold his head in suspense. Nodded, thanked the king for his compliment.

Tang means pear, in other words, a girl named after pear casually has already shown her father's state of mind or lack of thought when choosing the name.

"If the widow is older, I'm afraid a pear tree will crush the crabapple at night." Zishou said a dirty joke that no one can understand at this time, well, the original meaning of this poem is just such a dirty joke ~

"Come here and let the widow take a good look. As for the rest of you, you can go down." Zi Shou glanced at the other girls, forget it, forget it, make an understanding of Zhou, and don't throw it away where the servants live. It can be regarded as the weaving girl in the palace. Weaving and silkworm rearing are compulsory subjects for noble girls in this era, especially the concubine girls. They will really rely on this craft to make a living in the future.

Even the King of Shang couldn't afford to support a few idlers, let alone an ordinary aristocratic family, it's not bad to be able to support the eldest son and the second son as full-time soldiers, any more would kill someone.

Ji Tang walked over docilely, knelt and sat in front of Shang Wang's case, raised her head a little shyly, "Well, it's really beautiful, but it's a bit less charming than the widow's fox." Slightly thin and lacking in color, he looked pale and lovely by the candlelight.

The biggest advantage is that the lip color is a very drifting tender pink, which makes people want to take a bite, the eyes are like lacquer, shining brightly - but, again, it doesn't look like it's blooming at all, at least it's still there It must be raised for more than two years before it can be imported.

"Is this really Ji Chang's daughter?" Jiang Hou squinted her eyes. She had met Ji Chang before. You could say that this girl is a sister from the same clan that Su Biao found, but if you say she is the daughter of Ji Chang's old bangcai, This is a little less believable.

"Hey~" Zishou raised his hand to stop Jiang Hou's words, and gave her a look not to talk nonsense. It is rare to see her husband show such a serious look at this time. Jiang Hou immediately shut up, and then Su Bing whispered in her ear She said something in a low voice, and she reacted.

If she really raises the question of blood, it means that the contradiction between Shang and Zhou will be completely intensified in an instant, and even Zishou can't suppress it. Many political methods have to be modified, and even the national policy in the next five to ten years will have to be changed. The impact is too great, no wonder Zishou asked her to stop talking.

"Your brother is right. You really look like Shunying. Today you go to Lutai City. Go to rest first. Tomorrow, you will visit your brother Kao. Then you will enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Don't panic. Widows don't eat people." Ji Tang was curious. Looking at the tall King Shang, I have heard too many stories about the king going crazy in the past, but after this meeting, I found that the rumors or many are not true. This is obviously a very gentle person~

Su Bin knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression, and rolled his eyes. When he first met King Shang, he also thought that the rumors were not true. He was a brave and brave young man. Years ago, she realized that the rumors were still a little conservative.

[PS]

Guess which part exploded?

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it, don't cut it, it's the place for women.

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it down, don't be defeated, it's a place for women to rest.

Hid Fu Gantang, don't cut and don't worship, as the woman said.

[The original text is Zhao Bo, the gantang tree planted by Zhou Zhao, Aiwujiwu, but here is planted by Zhou Nu, and the meaning expressed has changed from missing Zhou Bo to the homesickness of Zhou Nu who married a merchant]

Chapter 55

Although it's really hard to talk about it, you still have to have sex, otherwise you can't fool Zhou. As for the feeling, it can only be said that filling a gourd with oil is more difficult than filling a bottle, and Not yet at the level of an oil seller, you can pour it in through the copper coin hole. After all, it is the first time, and you are not familiar with it. After a few more years of practice, you should be able to practice this miraculous technique.

However, now there is oil everywhere, and it is a bit troublesome to clean up. Finally, two dowry concubines were called in to help as maids, and then they cleaned it up. Leaf cards are just the right game for adults.

Well, the leaf tile here does not refer to the ancient tiles, but the mahjong made of wood, which is very suitable for entertainment popularized in the Shang Dynasty, because the craftsmanship is simple, just a wooden square, with simple patterns carved on one side It is blackened by fire, and the sunken notch is colored with chalk, and it is done.

There are naturally bets in playing cards, and with Zishou's style, it is natural to bet on clothes. Even if he is a beginner, Zishou is also a rookie. In fact, the final result is that Su Biao still has a bellyband left. Everyone else is clean, and it's another happy day afterwards.

The next day, Ji Tang went to visit Bo Yikao as promised. I have to say that Bo Yikao really looked like a big brother. He didn't show contempt for the concubine, but received her normally. It might be because of her Becoming the concubine of the monarch of the suzerain, even in Lutai Garden, has the relationship of his own palace.

"It seems that the king still takes pity on you." Bo Yikao saw that she was walking in a normal posture without any pain, showing a trace of suspicion, but it was covered up in an instant, "I remember when the father took the concubine, Xiaojun You can only move around after resting for half a day."

"Eh~ does it hurt so much?" Ji Tang looked puzzled, except that the taste was a bit unpalatable and his jaw was a little sore, so he wouldn't have to rest for half a day, would he?

"..." Ji Kao, who has been here before, feels that this topic cannot continue. Although it is a younger sister, some topics are still not suitable for discussion after the other party enters the palace. The talent is extraordinary, or it is the King of Shang...

Well, Bo Yikao decisively deleted this part of the memory. In order not to be hacked to death because of embarrassment, he changed the topic to Lutai Palace.

Speaking of this, Ji Tang became excited, because except for most of the palace rooms in Lutai Palace, the garden scenery has already been completed, such as the forest of apricot trees and sweet tang, it is the time when the apricot leaves are yellow, Cover the slate path (with the light of gold and jade:...) covered with a layer of gold, in the setting sun, it looks like a garden full of gold.

The smooth river stones form a shallow pond, in which there are several beautiful Yellow River specialties—carp. In this year, koi carp have not been bred, so there are only ordinary carp, not to mention goldfish.

The water flows to the outside of the palace along the canal decorated with white pebbles. An exquisite wooden bridge was built on this artificial stream. Zishou designed it by referring to some gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and adapting measures to local conditions. Although he has not systematically studied garden art design, the problem Even these days, no one asks him to collect intellectual copyright fees, so he can copy as much as he wants.

Moreover, because of the fortification, the internal garden space is relatively narrow, and some places have to use the miniature landscape design that Japan made in the Tang Dynasty style. However, when Luodu is built, this petty style can be used. Change directly to Da Song style.

Although the Song Dynasty was a piece of shit in terms of economy, diplomacy, and military affairs, it made great achievements in taxation, handicrafts, and architecture, especially in manufacturing and metallurgical technology, which were actually very advanced.

Therefore, if conditions permit, it is no problem at all to use the Kaifeng garden design of the Song Dynasty. It inherits the Tang Dynasty from the top, and inspires the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the bottom. On the site, trompe l'oeil and piled stones are used to create a quiet style of high mountains and deep valleys, and then miniature pavilions are decorated to make people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Of course, Zishou felt that he could only refer to this kind of super spectacle. After all, Da Songxiu almost destroyed the country, and he didn't need such a large garden, especially in this era, [-]% of the work He has to rub it with his own hands, so that's unnecessary.

It is enough to scale it down in proportion and make a thing that fits the style and ability of the garden project at this time. However, because of the space and site of Lutai Garden, it has to use that petty style in some places.

However, in general, Zishou doesn’t have to accept the atmosphere that a single tree can be used as a landscape, and things that don’t exceed 10 square meters can be called courtyards. If you want white snow, you can transplant hundreds of trees. Sometimes, the falling flowers are like flying snow; if you want red makeup, you can transplant dozens of peach trees and plant them along the wooden wall.

If you want a view of streams and ponds, you can dig a real stream, use canal water trucks to bring water from the northern tributaries into the city, and even successfully use wooden canals to create artificial small waterfalls. If you raise a few white cranes or something, it will be even better. There is a taste.

Even if the project volume is huge, if there is no cattle and horses like King Shang and the scope is not large, the construction period will not be 30 to [-] years, and even two generations may not be able to complete the repairs. Stone, stone cutting and other processes have been solved by him, and the remaining workers only need to solve the problems of carving and specific construction.

Even the most troublesome slab construction method, rammed earth for the wall, is mostly solved by burning bricks. The only trouble is that the grain and various materials in the warehouse disappear at the speed of running water. Can't live with the consumption of these big projects.

As for the water conservancy project, it will probably not be fully completed until the generation of his great-grandson. Now only a few tributary water conservancy systems and simple dams have been repaired. If it is really going to be used for a long time, this project must be forcibly pushed forward from generation to generation. , Uninterrupted input of materials.

Of course, building a city will not lose money in this era, because the big head is the palace garden. After this part is completed, the remaining residential areas are actually brought by the Zhou people and businessmen who immigrated here.

By the way, these thousands of people are Ji Tang’s dowry. Personal attachment is very normal in this era. These people have been her people since she married, including warriors, grooms, craftsmen, slaves, and some followers. The gentry and so on, from the moment they entered Lutai City, they were Lutai City people and slaves, not Zhou people.

They were divided into north and south by the quilt. The savages and slaves were arranged near the river, while the warriors and nobles were arranged in the northwest. They were close to the military camp and could be suppressed at any time. They were also separated by the main road of the royal palace and the residences of the nobles of the merchants, so as to avoid the connection between the two sides. , and avoid some conflicts.

As for the savages and slaves, there is no need to mix them together. These days, there is no difference between the slaves of this family and the slaves of that family. In fact, there is almost no barrier between them. As long as the master above speaks, they will merge very quickly.

Zishou demolished Cheng Zhou's thousands of people almost without thinking, as well as the slaves of these small noble families who followed, which greatly accelerated the construction of Lutai City.

"Jiumei, you have to serve King Shang well." After thinking about it, Bo Yi noticed King Shang's guarded attitude and such a smooth separation method. It is impossible to rely on sisters to do things in King Shang's harem. Might as well be generous.

"In the future, I'd rather not come to my brother's side, and focus on my husband's family."

"Yeah!" Ji Tang had a weak relationship with other brothers and sisters, and the few sisters who played well even married into the Shang Palace. Among the brothers outside, only the eldest brother Ji Kao wanted to be like him. Of course, the second brother Ji Fa Although people are a little indifferent and look down on these concubine sisters and brothers, at least they don't talk cheap, they don't belittle anyone verbally, and they don't do anything.

However, it's hard to say about righteous brothers and other direct brothers who like to touch hands and feet. If it weren't for her, she had arranged a high probability marriage with a big city merchant a few years ago, it would be good if she didn't cause trouble for her beauty.

Therefore, when Ji Kao said this, he did not just say it in the name of a simple elder brother, but endorsed Ji Tang in the name of his eldest son, lest she bear the name of being unfilial and not a brother, and really bear this It's a rumor, do you think something is wrong with her, Ji Tang?

She is just a concubine, and at most she has a bad reputation. If the future child gets tired of her, she will be unlucky because of it. However, that is the future, but is it okay for the Ji family who spread such things?

What a joke, you might be bald for a while if you were a king of Shang, but if you were Zishou, Ji Kao could see clearly, it’s hard to say whether this person is crazy or not, but he has no morals in his actions The bottom line is true, which one would he choose to clarify the rumors and solve the problem, or eliminate the rumors and solve the people who created the problem?

Of course, it would ruin Ji Tang's brother's reputation and make him die without a place to bury him, so that he would not be affected by this kind of incident.

Anyway, Ji Tang, the daughter of the Ji family, is responsible for the crime. If you think about it more viciously, it will make a big fuss. The idea of ​​the test is that King Shang will definitely do such a thing.

At that time, he Shang Wang used the life of a woman to pick himself out, and his Ji family would have to pay for the reputation and prestige of several generations of management, which is really not worth the candle.

Therefore, Ji Kao decided to endorse Ji Tang as the eldest son, so that she would break the relationship with those brothers, and no one would talk about her, because she was the eldest son, and the young master allowed it, and among those brothers, Ji Fa didn't care. These vain etiquettes, even the younger brothers are not up to the crown. As for those bastards and adopted sons, what qualifications do they have to speak out against the eldest son's decision?

This can also prevent some bad things from among the more than 100 sons of my father. able to benefit.

Besides, instead of Ji Tang being forced by the pressure of the harem, or being instructed by the King of Shang, it is better to propose it on my own, so that the little girl can still accept a piece of incense, and this favor is his Ji Kao. Rather than the entire Ji family lineage.

Just as Lu Shang said, "Everyone is selfish, and everyone is happy, and they don't think it is a crime." Everyone is selfish, and everyone is happy, and they don't think it is wrong. Wrong—and Ji Kao found himself seeming to fit this point.

"However, since my younger sister can stay at ease in this commercial place, I am also very relieved for my brother. Does my younger sister have any resentment towards my father?"

"I had complaints before I came here, but now I don't have any complaints." Ji Tang said in a low voice, Ji Kao frowned slightly, showing no scheming. , but more beneficial.

If Ji Tang was just an ordinary concubine of the Shang king, she might not live long if she had no scheming. However, since she was sent by the marriage of Shang and Zhou, she had no scheming and focused on her husband and children, so she would live longer. Looking at the battle now, it is difficult to determine the outcome, so as long as Zhou is not destroyed, she will be fine.

And just in case, she will be fine, instead she will become the continuation of the Ji family's blood. You know, it is too difficult to protect the family temple when the country is subjugated, especially when the opponent is still a mad king.

"Father also put in a lot of painstaking efforts." Ji Kao said frankly, Ji Chang really painstakingly, it is very difficult just to choose a beautiful daughter, and a daughter who has no inheritance rights, when choosing someone, sleeps all night Before I knew it, I even went through all the families of my clan relatives and considered adopting one.

However, hearing Ji Tang who lacked in scheming, the indifference and resentment towards his father in the past ten years disappeared a lot, because when he came, it was said that he was married to King Shang, who was almost a round older than him. The resentment reached the peak, and the direct sisters at that time sent her to the court of the "lord of lewdness and tyranny" like a plague god.

She herself was quite flustered, because it was said that this epileptic king was hungry and dared to stuff anything into the harem. He was extremely powerful, brutal and brave by nature, and she felt that with her small body, she would have to be killed within two years.

But when I went to the place, I found that it was not the case at all. First of all, King Shang was a handsome guy. Because of his age and experience, he was still a handsome guy with a mature temperament. This kind of mature handsome man was most attractive to a little girl of her age.

Secondly, although she has great strength, she feels more secure with her strong body and strength, especially since she can be fully held in the palm of her hand, especially when she saw that Sister Su could dance on the palm of King Shang.

Again, it’s not as cruel and bad-tempered as in the legend, it actually feels quite gentle, and it doesn’t hurt as much as the sisters said at night. Well, it’s really uncomfortable and hard to eat, but it’s okay La.

The most important thing is that such a beautiful garden was specially built. Although it was not built for her alone, it was only in name. In fact, quite a lot of people lived in it. I just occupied a palace, but compared to several Xiqi, whose sisters are crowded into one room, is much better.

Those concubine sisters who came together were distorted with envy, wishing to replace them with their own bodies, but unfortunately, the king of Shang looked down on them at all, and directly classified them as ordinary palace people, which made these sisters even more like lemons. Essence, full of lemon aroma.

"Okay, little girl, it's getting late. If you stay here, your elder brother and I will have to hang our heads at the gate of the city tomorrow. I'll take you out." Although the sky is actually still bright, Ji Kao is serious. Not daring to stay longer, seeing what he said was interesting, Ji Tang burst out laughing too.

Going out, Ji Kao saw a burly man with a broken hat lying on a broken car at the intersection, his eyes casually glanced at the bronze sword on his waist, he shook his head slightly, sent his sister to the car frame, and looked at her After leaving, Ji Kao returned to the mansion without stopping.

"This kid is quite up to the mark." Elai squinted at Ji Kao who entered with a grass leaf in his mouth, then returned to Lutai Garden with the broken car and followed Ji Tang's frame.

Zishou designated Lutai City as the wintering place. He worked in Lutai City in spring and winter, and in Modu in summer and autumn. Because of Chaoge Mountain, the climate in Modu in summer and autumn is much better, while in Lutai Because of the characteristics of gardens and three waters, there are many mosquitoes, so it is not suitable for permanent residence.

Therefore, they all live here temporarily, and Ji Tang is the only one who lives here regularly. She is not only a wife and concubine, but also a tool person, and a hostage.

She didn't have much opinion on the fact that King Shang was rarely by his side. Rather, she was still very shy about it. If she really stayed together often, she would feel a little restrained.

Of course, if she stays together for a long time, she will find that the beautified image is broken just like Su Biao. This guy goes mad and in heat regardless of the occasion and season.

"Jiujiu!" A beautiful blue phoenix landed on Qingyou's arm, "Your Majesty, Ji Kao is very good at breaking up the relationship."

"Of course, he's not a stunner, and neither is Ji Fa. Now it's their brothers who are fighting, and I'm just the organizer who provides the venue." Zishou laughed, do you think it's Xiqi and Is Modu fighting?

Now the young master of Ji Chang's family is fighting. His Zishou just provided the venue and is just the organizer. No matter how big a game you play, there is only one game that you will never lose, and that is the one who runs the mahjong parlor.

Because he just provided the venue and took the opportunity to collect the venue fee. It has nothing to do with you two dogs biting dogs and beating people's heads into dogs' heads. He can even seek greater benefits from it.

"Your Majesty, I..." Ji Tang pushed open the bamboo fence that separated him, and he was stunned, his little face suddenly flushed.In the steaming pool, there is a forest of meat like jade. Jiang Hou, who is a little older, seems to be tasting wine with a wine glass, but his face is flushed abnormally. sour eyes.

As for the other people, they are also soaking together, drinking and resting under the flying leaves. If there is no beautiful snake constantly releasing water splashing and jumping to attack the child, the picture will be very poetic, but if there is an emerald green eyes If the beautiful snake girl and the burly man are constantly fighting with the water splash and the rocky protrusion, then the scene becomes very... eye-catching.

"What are you looking at, come down and take a bath together!" Zishou grabbed Ji Tang's slender ankle and pulled her into the water. Of course, it was just a simple bath, and she was far too young to use a hot water bottle. .

[PS]

The dictionary explodes in half:

Overwhelmed and hard to recover:

When the army was defeated and imprisoned in Yu, Mrs. Tang saw that there was no way to save him, so she sent someone to send a gift to ask for release. The lady took a basin of water, poured it on the ground, and said nothing; Like water covering the ground, it is difficult to collect!

[The meaning has not changed, but the allusion has changed, originally from the story of Jiang Shang and his ex-wife]
