The convoy escorting the princess had been walking for nearly a month, and snowflakes had already fallen on the vast field.

The weather is cold and freezing, and the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, so she naturally wants to find a place to rest for a few days, and wait for the snowy road to dry up.

On this day, they happened to stop in a small town called Jianwan.

Jianwan, as the name suggests, has a clear spring of a mountain stream that happens to pass around the town.

In the spring, the snow melts on the mountains, and the water flows from the stream into the bay on the west side of the town, and I don't know how many crops are raised.

In the summer, the children strip off their naked feet, bathe in the stream and catch fish, and are not afraid of deep water. The deepest part of the entire stream could not cover the children's bare feet.

Jianwan Town is said to be a small town, but it is just a small street, a few shops, and there is not even an inn, let alone any jewelry shops, restaurants and teahouses.

Jianwan is located at the foot of a small hill, the geographical location does not belong to the main road, the reason why it passes from here is also the route planned by Chen Xiaohu.

If they go by another way, they will have to cross the sea.

Lu Yangge's guards are more than 500 people, plus the Yulin guards sent by the emperor are 1,000 people, and this more than 1,500 people, a big ship can not cross the strait.

The detour is just a difficult mountain road, and it is just a waste of time.

Chen Xiaohu's decision, as long as Lu Yangge does not object, naturally no one will object. As for the father-in-law, he got into the carriage, except for eating and going down to the hut, he just stayed in the carriage on weekdays, and didn't care about everything.

The town is small, there is no inn, and there is no post station, so Chen Xiaohu sent someone to find a family that looked quite neat and borrowed a house to use.

The family took fifty taels of silver, and there was nothing to clean up in the house except clothes and bedding, pots and pans, and a donkey cart pulled it to live in his father's house.

Fifty taels of silver was enough for him to build a few new houses in this town.

The head of the household was so happy that he wished that the princess could stay in his house longer. Fortunately, his family's new house was just built last year, and it is the latest in the town, so it can be favored by nobles.

Chen Xiaohu is not very satisfied with this family's house, but in the whole town, only this one can see a little.

The rest of the families, don't look at it, live in the town, because there are few fields, but they don't have the warmth of food and clothing for the countrymen. Most of the houses are also earthen walls and thatched roofs, not to mention dilapidated, but also dirty.

This house is also a new house, although only half of the stone is still an earthen wall, but it is covered with tiles. The hostess was a neat and tidy one inside and out. The house is on the edge of the town, but outside it is a wasteland, and there is no problem with the stationing of more than a thousand people.

The princess moved into a new house, and Chen Xiaohu found a family for her father-in-law to live next door temporarily.

The princess's house was only three big houses and two stove houses. The princess of the east wing lives, and the west wing is cloudy, and no one else can live. Although the small table is a father-in-law, but let him live by the princess, Chen Xiaohu is still unwilling.

No, only one room was moved to the house next door, where the father-in-law and his godson Wang Fugui lived.

Chen Xiaohu took his subordinates, including the five hundred guards of the princess's mansion, and set up a tent outside the town. He is a general, and he has a camp tent alone, which is set up more than ten meters from the house where the princess lives.

From the time the snow fell to the time it stopped, it took three days.

More than 1,000 people ate and drank, stirring up a small town.

The food that could be eaten in the town was almost exhausted, and those who were bold and had relatives in the countryside moved to go to the countryside to collect things and sell them to these officers and soldiers in the town.

The snow was heavy and the weather was cold, and they hummed and braved the heavy snow to go to the countryside to pick up three melons and two dates, which were not enough for this group of officers and soldiers to stuff their teeth.

Chen Xiaohu forbade it, did not allow his subordinates to take advantage of the villagers, and could only give the highest price to buy their things, and could not covet small profits and let the people suffer.

When someone makes money, there are more people who want to make that money.

The news of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers coming to the town soon spread, and the surrounding villagers also braved the snow to enter the town.

Even children of a few years old knew that when they went to dig ice and catch fish, they would sell them to officers and soldiers and they would have money to buy grain and cotton clothes.

Yun Juan looked at the only two roads outside the town, and was trampled out of the black and dark mud, and couldn't help but sigh with Yun Shu.

"I found that wherever the princess goes, the life of the common people there will be much better."

Yun Shu looked at the peasants who went to the barracks where Yu Linwei was stationed with their burdens, and carried the heavy money bags with joy, and his eyebrows and eyes stretched a lot.

"Yes, the princess is kind. In Anshui, the local people did not get a lot of money from the princess. ”

Although it is said that they got the copper money because they were looking for General Zhou, if the princess didn't give the silver money and asked the local government to send people according to Ding, could they still not go?

When the princess left Anshui, those ordinary people were sent to a few miles like their dead mother.

Even the Anshui County Decree is still talking about when the princess will come again. There is a princess on this trip, and his political achievements have gone up a lot, can you not worry about it!

Three days later, the snow fell, looking at the thick snow, Chen Xiaohu frowned slightly.

It seems that they will have to stay in this town for a while, not that he does not want to stay, but it is still very troublesome for more than a thousand people to eat, drink and Lazar here.

If the people he brought were ordinary soldiers, it would be okay to endure hardships and hardships and wade through mountains and rivers, as long as they could be fed and clothed, there was nothing they could not do.

But now, there are more than 1,500 people, including the guards of the princess's mansion and Yulin guards, when have these people suffered this kind of crime.

Even if you live in a tent in the ice and snow, you still eat coarse grains and rice. What's even worse is that in just three days, all the food that can be bought in the town has been bought, and everything that can be sent and sold in the two villages in the countryside has been sold.

"Princess, it's time for breakfast."

Yunjuan carried the prepared breakfast and put it on the small square table beside him, saying that the breakfast was just a bowl of sticky red bean porridge, two yellow flour buns, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a plate of salted fish and boiled vegetables.

This food, it is a little indescribable to say breakfast.

It's too wronged princess.

Lu Yangge didn't care about this, she didn't have to endure hardships, she could eat what others could eat.

watched Lu Yangge use a bowl of red bean porridge, eat a steamed bun, a few chopsticks to pickle vegetables, and two pieces of salted fish. Yun Juan, Yun Shu and the two glanced at each other, both with distress that they couldn't hide.

Waiting for Lu Yangge to put down the chopsticks, Yunjuan stepped forward to clean up, Yun Shu fetched hot water for Lu Yangge to wipe his hands and face, and by the way, the recipe at noon.

"There's still a piece of pork and two cabbages in the kitchen, princess, why don't we make dumplings and eat them at noon."

The pork and vegetable dumplings were wrapped and invited General Chen and his father-in-law to come over and eat a little, which can be regarded as doing his best. If it's a dish, it's not a good treat, and you really can't do it.

"Well, you can do it, pack some more, and give some to General Chen and the father-in-law when the time comes."

What she eats doesn't matter to Lu Yangge, but with good things, she can't pull down Chen Xiaohu and the small table.
