"It's done, Master Shen, we're done?"

Cao Wenshi, who came from the capital with Shen Qingzhou, was so excited that he pulled Shen Qingzhou's sleeve.

After two years, they finally completed the construction of the dam. Only they know how many difficulties they had to overcome along the way.

"Yes, the construction was successful."

This time, not only Shen Qingzhou was excited, but even the people of Yunzhou who came to observe were extremely excited.

Some people even took out firecrackers to celebrate the completion of the dam.

The Yunzhou prefect also came to hand over the work to Shen Qingzhou. From now on, the dam will need the Yunzhou prefect's people to manage it.

"Sir Shen, please have me check the Yunzhou Dam again. There are a few details about the gates and other things. I'm afraid I haven't recorded them all."

This is the largest dam in the entire Dongxia Kingdom. It will always be right for the prefect to be more careful and cautious when managing this dam in the future.

"Okay, Prefect Chen, let's confirm it again."

Shen Qingzhou originally wanted to take Chen Zhifu to confirm the appearance first. The periphery of the dam was guarded by soldiers, and the people could only watch from the outside.

Shen Qingzhou turned around and just glanced at the crowd, his eyes were locked on that familiar figure.

Even though Lin Ting was wearing a white veil hat, he clearly recognized that it was his beloved wife.

Prefect Chen saw Shen Qingzhou looking at the people, and wondered what he was looking at that could make such a calm person stunned.

"Master Shen, Master Shen... Let's go check the dam again."

Shen Qingzhou came back to his senses and said to Prefect Chen.

"Master Chen, please wait a moment. I'm going to pick up my wife. The dam is completed, and I hope to come with her to see it."

Lord Shen’s wife is here too?

Prefect Chen looked in the direction Shen Qingzhou was heading, and saw a woman with a veiled hat among the crowd of people over there. She had an outstanding temperament, which formed a sharp contrast with the people next to her.

Shen Qingzhou walked towards Lin Ting. He was a high-ranking official from the capital and was able to build dams. He was also a well-known figure in Yunzhou City.

Among the thousands of ordinary people present, every one of them recognized him.

The girl in green next to Lin Ting blushed when she saw Shen Qingzhou coming towards them.

Her heart was beating like a deer. Lord Shen was walking towards her. Was he looking for her?

Did she actually attract Lord Shen's attention for no reason?

The woman in green held her hands nervously, smoothing the hair that fell from her shoulders. She was expecting that Shen Qingzhou would come over just to say hello to her.

Woman in green: "Shen..."

"Madam, when did you arrive in Yunzhou? Why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance so I could pick you up?"

Shen Qingzhou spoke, and the green-clothed woman's expression froze. What did Lord Shen call the woman next to him? He actually called her "Madam". Was she Lord Shen's wife?

Lin Ting: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be so popular in Yunzhou."

Lin Ting glanced at the woman beside him. Her words were suggestive, and Shen Qingzhou immediately understood what she meant.

Shen Qingzhou smiled faintly, Lin Ting clearly knew him.

"My lady, the dam has been built. Come with me and take a look."

This is Shen Qingzhou's proudest work, a dam that will be remembered forever. At such an important moment in his life, Lin Ting must be with him.

"it is good!"

Shen Qingzhou raised his hand, lifted up Lin Ting's slender white hand, and led her across the outer perimeter of the soldiers' blockade.

Out of envy of the girl from Yunzhou City, he took her to see the dam.

When Lin Ting came over, she took off the veil on her head. Although she was dressed like a woman, her skin was as white as cream and her eyes were like stars, just like a girl who had never given birth.

"Wow, so this is Mr. Shen's wife. She's so beautiful."

Someone in the crowd deliberately said this to the woman in green, mocking her arrogance just now. Only a woman like this is worthy of Lord Shen.

Lin Ting no longer cared what the people behind him said, and followed Shen Qingzhou and the Yunzhou prefect to see the dam.

It took Shen Qingzhou two years to build this place.

"Master Shen, Madam Shen is well."

Prefect Chen clasped his fists towards Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou, and Lin Ting also bowed slightly and nodded.

"Prefect Chen is well!"

Originally, Shen Qingzhou felt very sorry that he could not appreciate the masterpiece of Yunzhou Dam with Lin Ting.

But with Lin Ting's appearance, he no longer had any regrets.

"Prefect Chen, let's go."

Holding Lin Ting's hand, Shen Qingzhou's explanation this time was even more detailed than what he had taught Chen Zhifu before.

"Master Chen, when the dam is closed, the water will be discharged into the river to the north.

The dam needs to be guarded day and night, and strangers are not allowed to approach, not even to fish."

After going around, Lin Ting realized that the design of this dam was really not something that an ordinary person could build.

Not to mention anything else, just the valve is not an ordinary iron door. After the gate is opened, the water flows downwards, and Shen Qingzhou can also design a row of resistance walls.

This is to prevent the water from rushing out of a large pool under the dam. Every step he took was planned. I don’t know how many books he read and how many days and nights he endured before he could let Dongxia Kingdom witness the birth of this dam.

After visiting the dam opening, and seeing the completion of such a large project, Prefect Chen hosted a gathering at the restaurant for Shen Qingzhou and his group.

Of course, this also includes Lin Ting.

Inside the restaurant, Cao Wenshi stood up from the table, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to Shen Qingzhou.

"Sir Shen, you are so mean. It turns out that Madam Weirui is Madam Shen. I was wondering where you went during those days in the border town.

And you left us all at the inn. So this is the reason. If you don't tell the truth, you will have to drink a glass of wine today."

Shen Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at Lin Ting. In the border town, it was better to be cautious for the two of them to hide their identities.

“We are the ones who have kept the matter of the border town a secret from everyone. However, my wife wants to do business with Xiluo in the border town and doesn’t want the Xiluo people to know that she is the wife of an official from Dongxia.

So, just in case, I didn't tell my colleagues. Now, two years later, I'm letting you know the truth. I accept the penalty."

Shen Qingzhou drank it all in one gulp, but Cao Wenshi drank with him.

"Master Shen, although you and your wife have concealed this from us, but!

Madam Shen even sent us tents and ginger soup to protect us from the heavy rain. I, Cao Wenshi, have been anxious about this. This glass of wine is in my honor to Madam Shen."

Lin Ting was not polite. He stood up and drank a glass of wine with Cao Wenshi.

"Today is the official completion day of the dam. I also wish you all a better future after returning to Beijing with promotions and honors."

This is the result of everyone's hard work. The emperor has already issued an order that all those who build the dam will receive a certain reward.

"Thank you, Madam Shen for your kind words."

Everyone: "Thank you, Madam Shen!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank in a harmonious atmosphere. When they returned to Beijing, they would have a new world.
