Chapter 309: Look at the snow
"Are you going to see the snow?"
"Now, we can catch the last snow."
Zhou Yang's words are still in my ears.
Lu Yangge sat in the rickety carriage, looking at the scenery outside the car window, with a sad expression.
She had been on this rickety carriage for two days, saying that she was going to the north to see the last snow, but in the end she didn't even get out of the Huaishui realm.
Lu Yangge didn't ask Zhou Yang what the truth was, it didn't matter what it was.
Zhou Yang's thoughts, Lu Yangge understands.
It's one thing to understand, whether she wants to marry someone or not, and what kind of person she wants to marry, she hasn't seriously thought about it.
The eighteen-year-old girl, in the era she once stayed, was still a student busy with the college entrance examination, and she was still a child who came to reach out for food and open her mouth.
And in this era, it has long been the age of marriage, and even more have become wives and mothers.
This year, Lu Yangge traveled back and forth between the capital and Dongyang County, his aunt mentioned it, his aunt mentioned it, and even the emperor's second brother implicitly asked her what kind of horse she wanted to find.
Yes, it's a concubine, and now Lu Yangge is no longer the lord of Huaiping, but the princess of Changle of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the fief has also increased from Huaicheng, Nanyang, and Dongyang to Yangzhou.
According to the second brother's idea, he wanted to give the richest Suzhou to his sister as a fief, but because he named Lu Yangge as a princess, he attracted the attention of a group of ministers.
In the end, it was the Queen Mother who stopped this.
Lu Yangge is not short of money, on the contrary, she is not short of money, but also very rich.
For her, it doesn't matter where the fief is, and it doesn't matter if there is one.
Huaicheng, Nanyang, Dongyang County and Yangzhou are better for her. Because most of the people she knows are here, even if she wants to do something, it is very convenient.
Everyone thought that she was now alone with her maid guards in the spring wearing flowers and willows, and going to the last snowfall of spring in the distance.
Sounds ridiculous! But it's also ridiculous!
But no one knows what Lu Yangge really thinks in his heart.
Just yesterday, when everyone packed their bags and prepared to go.
Zhou Yang received news that he was going to lead troops to suppress bandits.
There are many bandits in spring, and now it seems that there is nothing wrong with suppressing bandits.
It's just that when he was leaving, Zhou Yang's strange and puzzled eyes made Lu Yangge feel a little weak.
Yes, she is ready to follow Zhou Yang's advice and go out for a walk, it doesn't matter if she sees the last snow of spring or not.
When it was important, she now had time and spare money, and she could indeed go out for a walk and see the great rivers and mountains.
However, she didn't want to go with Zhou Yang, and of course, she didn't want to set off in such a hurry.
She wanted to go to Jiangjiaba first, take a look at all the people in the Lu family, and talk to them for a few days before leaving.
At the beginning, they were hurriedly sent away from the capital, but until now, Lu Yangge has not settled down to go back and forth to the Lu family in Jiangjiaba.
Now, Lu Yangge's carriage is parked next to a large embankment.
Not far away, there is a conscription who is in full swing to pick up the embankment, and as far as the eye can see, it is densely packed with people.
Every year, the people in the Huaishui area have to serve two conscriptions, dredging rivers, beach protection, and silicon......
After the autumn harvest and before the winter, it is called winter service. The other time is to break the ice in spring, before the wheat harvest, called spring service.
At this moment, it is the conscripts who are busy with spring service who are busy up and down the embankment, dredging the river and widening the riverbed.
On a warm and cold spring day, most of the laborers were dressed in thin clothes, barefoot, carrying a load of mud, humming and humming up the embankment from the river, and then pouring the soil from the burden, and then rushing down the embankment, continuing to dig the mud.
There are also days that are slightly better, and they use a wheelbarrow to push, which saves a lot of effort.
It's just that at the end of this day, whether it is shoulder-to-shoulder and pushing, all of them are hard and tired.
Those who have money do not use it to serve as conscripts after spending money and paying fees, and almost all of the people here are from poor families.
There is not enough food, no warm clothing, and a lot of hard work is repeated every day.
In these crowds, Lu Yangge also saw a woman wrapped in a headscarf, digging shoulder to shoulder with the man.
Although there are not many such women, there are still a few young men everywhere.
Most of the women who served in the conscription were young men in the family, and there was no money to replace them. Under extreme hardship, people cannot take care of decency without men and women.
Lu Yangge got out of the car and walked forward along the smooth path stepped on the river embankment, Zhixue followed carefully behind him, and the rest of the people were waiting by the carriage, Chunhua and Qiushou each drove a carriage.
The evening light and the clear sky standing on either side of the carriage were whispering something.
They have to travel all the way, and they don't always have a place to eat and stay.
According to Lu Yangge's current status, this hike must be escorted by a team of at least 500 people, and the carriage must be more than a dozen to be enough.
But Lu Yangge was afraid of trouble, so he only brought Chunhua Qiushi and Zhexue, two people to catch the car, and one person to guard. But the evening light and the clear sky are not in any way, and they must follow the princess to serve the princess, and Lu Yangge can't only take them with him.
The advantages of taking the two of them are obvious, Zhexue is a guard, she can't do most of the work that the maid can do, with the evening light and clear sky, someone on the way to take care of Lu Yangge's food, clothing, housing and transportation, obviously much more comfortable than she imagined.
It can be seen that being a man is easy to be simple and luxurious, and it is difficult to be simple and luxurious!
Lu Yangge was wearing a man's robe, and Zhexue was wearing a short fight. The two were not gorgeously dressed, but they stood out in a group of unkempt and ragged servants.
As soon as he had walked a few steps, an official with a whip came over: "What are you doing?" ”
Zhexue stepped forward and blocked in front of Lu Yangge: "Passing by, my son-in-law has never seen this meeting, come down and take a look." ”
If she didn't have a whip in her hand and her tone wasn't so tough, maybe it would have been better.
Although Lu Yangge wears a man's robe, her body appearance is no longer the shriveled and thin appearance she used to be, and wearing men's clothes has more momentum that only the son of a family can have.
It's hard to look at it directly.
And Zhexue, who was raised as a boy when she was young, did not have the gentleness and softness of ordinary women, but had more killing energy, and was more like a man than Lu Yangge.
The official frowned: "This road is not easy to walk, so let your son-in-law play elsewhere." ”
"I'm just passing by." Lu Yangge looked at the immature-looking servant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick slightly, "I heard that your area is the territory that Jiangjiaba is responsible for, and I am also from Jiangjiaba, so I came over to take a look." ”
Originally, she was going to go back to Jiangjiaba directly, but on the way, she heard someone mention the river service, so she moved her mind to take a look.
