Big businessman and little fisherman

"Are you going to see the snow?"

"Go now, we can still catch the last snow."

Zhou Yang's words are still in his ears.

Lu Yange sat in the swaying carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window with a sleepy expression.

She had been in 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 go out of the border of Huaishui.

Lu Yangge didn't ask Zhou Yang what the truth he wanted to tell, it didn't matter what it was.

Lu Yangge understood Zhou Yang's thoughts.

But it is one thing to understand, whether she wants to marry someone, and what kind of person she wants to marry, she hasn't seriously thought about it yet.

A young girl, in the time she lived, was still a student who was busy with the college entrance examination, and a child who stretched out his clothes to eat and opened his mouth.

But in this era, they have already reached the age of marriage, and even more have become wives and mothers.

Most of the women who served corvée had no young men in their families and no money to replace them.When people are in extreme hardship, they don't have the protection of men and women, and they don't care about their dignity.

According to Lu Xingge's current status, there must be at least 500 escorts for this excursion, and a dozen or so carriages are enough.

According to the second brother's idea, he wanted to give the most affluent Suzhou to his sister as a fief, but because he made Lu Yange a princess, he attracted the attention of a group of ministers. If I gave it to Princess Changle, I was afraid that someone would make a fuss about Lu Yange's identity.

They have to travel all the way, and not always have a place to eat and lodging.

There are many bandits in spring, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with going to suppress bandits now.

But Lu Yange was afraid of trouble, so he only brought Chunhua Qiushi and Zhexue, two of them drove the car, and one guarded him.But Wanzhao and Qingkong didn't agree no matter what, and insisted on following the princess to serve the princess. Lu Yange had no choice but to take them with him.

It's just that before leaving, Zhou Yang's strange and doubtful eyes made Lu Yangge a little guilty.

Although Lu Yange was wearing men's robes, her figure and appearance were no longer the shriveled and thin ones she used to be. Wearing men's clothes on the contrary gave her the aura that only a nobleman of a family would have.

Lu Yange is not short of money, on the contrary, not only is she not short of money, she is also very rich.

It sounds ridiculous!But it's also ridiculous!
But no one knew the true thoughts in Lu Yange's heart.

She wanted to go to Jiangjiaba first, see all the people in the Lu family, and talk to them for a few days before leaving.

Not far away, there are corvee laborers who are busy picking up the river embankment. Looking around, there are dense crowds.

Rich people don't spend their money on corvee service after paying fees, and almost all the people here are poor.

Zhou Yang received the news that he was going to lead troops to suppress bandits from the Ministry of War.

At this moment, those who are busy up and down the embankment, dredging the river, and widening the river bed are the corvees who are busy with the spring service.

Now, Lu Xingge's carriage is parked beside a levee.

To her, it doesn't matter where the fief is, or whether it exists or not.

Yes, it is the son-in-law. The current Lu Yange is no longer the princess of Huaiping, but Princess Changle of the Great Shang Dynasty. The fiefdom has also increased from the original Huaicheng, Nanyang, and Dongyang to Yangzhou.

Just yesterday, when everyone packed their bags and prepared to go.

In the end, it was the Queen Mother who stopped the matter.

Yes, she was going to follow Zhou Yang's suggestion and go out for a walk, it didn't matter whether she saw the last snow in spring or not.

After walking a few steps, a servant with a whip came over: "What do you do?"

Lu Xingge got out of the car and walked forward along the smooth path on the embankment, Zhexue carefully followed behind, the rest of the people waited beside the carriage, Chunhua and Qiushou each drove a carriage.

It can be seen that to be a human being, it is easy to be simple and extravagant, but difficult to be simple if extravagant!
Lu Yange was wearing a boy's robe, while Zhexue was wearing a bunt.The clothes of the two were not gorgeous, but they stood out in a group of unkempt and ragged corvees.

Everyone thought that she was alone with her maids and guards wearing flowers and caressing willows in the spring day, and went to the distant place for the last snowfall in the spring day.

Among these crowds, Lu Yange also saw a woman wearing a headscarf digging with the man shoulder to shoulder.

There are also people who have a better life, and use a wheelbarrow to push it, which saves a lot of effort.

When it's important, she has time and spare money now, so she can indeed go out for a walk and see the great rivers and mountains.

It's just that after this day, no matter whether it's shoulder-carrying or pushing, everything is hard and tiring.

The benefits of bringing the two of them are obvious. Zhexue is a guard, and she can't do most of the work that a maid can do. With evening photos and clear skies, it is obviously more than she imagined for someone to take care of Lu Yange's basic necessities along the way. The ones in it are much more comfortable.

During this year, Lu Yange went back and forth between the capital and Dongyang County. My aunt mentioned it, my aunt mentioned it, and even the emperor's second brother implicitly asked her what kind of son-in-law she wanted to find.

Huaicheng, Nanyang, Dongyang County and Yangzhou are all given to her, but it is better.Because most of her acquaintances are in these places, even if she wants to do something, it is very convenient.

Although there are not many such women, among the young and strong men here and there, you can still see a few.

If she didn't hold a whip in her hand and her tone wasn't so tough, maybe it would be better.

Sunset and Qingkong standing on both sides of the carriage were discussing something in a low voice.

However, she didn't want to go with Zhou Yang, and of course, she didn't want to leave in such a hurry.

Not enough to eat, not to wear warm clothes, but also to repeat a lot of hard work every day.

At the beginning, they were sent away from the capital in a hurry, but until now, Lu Yange has not settled down to go back and forth to Jiangjiaba Lu's house.

In the warm and cold spring day, most of the laborers were wearing thin clothes, barefoot, carrying loads of mud, humming and climbing up the embankment from the river, and when they reached the embankment, they put their feet on the embankment. The soil in the load fell down, and then rushed all the way down the embankment, continuing to dig and carry the soil.

Zhexue stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Yangge: "Passing by, my son has never seen this scene, come down and have a look."

After the autumn harvest and before winter, it is called winter service.The other time is to break the ice in spring, before the wheat is harvested, which is called spring service.

Every year, people in the Huai River area have to do corvée twice, dredging the river, protecting the beach, and working with shovels...

Makes people dare not look directly.

As for Zhexue, she was raised as a boy since she was a child. She doesn't have the gentleness of an ordinary woman, but she has a bit more killing spirit, and she is more masculine than Lu Yangge.

The yamen servant frowned: "The road here is not easy to walk, let your young master play elsewhere."

"I was just passing by to take a look." Lu Yange looked at the immature-looking yamen servant, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, "I heard that this area of ​​yours is the territory that Jiangjiaba is in charge of, and I am also from Jiangjiaba, so come and have a look."

Originally, she was planning to go directly back to Jiangjiaba. On the way, she heard someone mention the river service, so she decided to take a look.
