Chapter 309 Watching the Snow

"Are you going to see the snow?"

"If we go now, we can still catch the last snow."

Zhou Yang's words are still in my ears.

Lu Xiangge was sitting in the swaying carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window with a sad expression.

She had been on this rickety carriage for two days. She said she was going to the north to see the last snow, but in the end she didn't even get out of the Huai River boundary.

Lu Sheige didn't ask what Zhou Yang wanted to tell the truth. It didn't matter what it was.

Lu Shege understood Zhou Yang's thoughts.

But it's one thing to understand. She hasn't seriously thought about whether she wants to get married and what kind of person she wants to marry.

A girl who is only 18 years old. In the era she lived in, she was still a student busy with the college entrance examination, and she was still a child who had enough food to eat and clothes to eat.

In this era, people have already reached the age of marriage, and even more of them are already wives and mothers.

At the beginning, they were sent away from the capital in a hurry, but now, Lu Xiangge has not calmed down enough to go back and forth to the Lu family in Jiangjiaba.

It can be seen that in life, it is easy to be simple and luxurious, and it is difficult to be simple and luxurious!

Lu Xiangge was wearing a men's robe, while Zhe Xue was wearing a short jacket. The two were not gorgeously dressed, but they stood out among a group of unkempt and ragged corvees.

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

Everyone thought that she was walking through flowers and caressing willows alone in the spring with her maids and escorts, heading for the last snowfall in the distant spring.

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

Not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear, and had to repeat a lot of hard work every day.

It's just that at the end of the day, no matter whether it's carrying a cart or pushing it, everything is hard and tiring.

Rich people paid the fees and did not have to do corvee work, but almost all the people here are poor.

Now, Lu Sheige's carriage was parked beside a embankment.

One time after the autumn harvest and before winter is called winter labor. The other time is to break the ice in spring and before the wheat harvest is called spring labor.

According to the second brother's idea, he wanted to make Suzhou, the richest place in the Shang Dynasty, a fiefdom for his sister. But because he made Lu Shege a princess, it attracted the attention of a group of ministers. If Suzhou, the richest place in the Shang Dynasty, was used as a fiefdom,

If I gave it to Princess Changle, I was afraid that someone would make an issue of Lu Xiange's identity.

According to Lu Xiangge's current status, this excursion must be escorted by a team of at least 500 people, and a dozen carriages are needed.

Among these crowds, Lu Shege also saw women wearing headscarves, digging with their hands on their shoulders.

But Lu Xiangge was afraid of trouble, so he only took Chunhua Qiushi and Zhexue with him, two to drive and one to protect him. However, Wanzhao and Qingkong refused to comply no matter what, insisting that they must accompany the princess to serve her, so Lu Xiige had no choice but to take them with him.

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 of spring or not.

For her, it doesn't matter where the fiefdom is, or whether it exists or not.

Every year, people in the Huai River area have to perform corvee work twice, including river dredging, beach protection, and plow work...

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

Not far away, there are laborers working on the river embankment in full swing. Looking around, there are dense crowds of people.

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

Zhou Yang received the news that he was going to lead troops to suppress the bandits.

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

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

Lu Shege is not short of money. On the contrary, not only is she not short of money, she is also very rich.

Lu Sheige got out of the car and walked forward along the smooth path carved on the river embankment. Zhe Xue followed carefully behind him. The rest of the people were waiting beside the carriage. Chunhua and Qiu Shuang each drove a carriage.

Most of the women who served as corvees did so because there were no young men in the family and they had no money to replace them. People were in extreme poverty and did not have the protection of men and women and could not care about their dignity.

Although Lu Sheige was wearing men's robes, her figure and appearance were no longer the shriveled and thin appearance of before. Wearing men's clothes, she had more of an aura that could only be found in a young master from an aristocratic family.

Maybe it would be better if she didn't have a whip in her hand and her tone wasn't so strong.

Yes, he is the consort. Now Lu Xiangge is no longer the princess of Huaiping, but Princess Changle of the Shang Dynasty. The fiefdom has also been expanded from Huaicheng, Nanyang, Dongyang, and Yangzhou.

But before leaving, Zhou Yang's strange and doubtful look made Lu Sheige feel a little guilty.

Finally, it was the Queen Mother who stopped the matter.

Zhe Xue stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Sheige: "I'm passing by. My young master has never seen this scene. Come down and take a look."

The benefits of bringing them along are obvious. Zhe Xue works as a guard, and she can't do most of the jobs that a maid can do. With the evening light and clear sky, someone will take care of Lu Sheige's food, clothing, housing, and transportation along the way, which is obviously better than she imagined.

It's much more comfortable.

When it's important, she now has time and spare money, so she can really go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers.

It would be better to give her Huaicheng, Nanyang, Dongyang County and Yangzhou. Because most of her familiar people are in these places, it is very convenient even if she wants to do something.

It sounds ridiculous! But it’s also very funny!

But no one knew what Lu Sheige was really thinking.

On a spring day that was suddenly warm but still cold, most of the laborers were wearing thin clothes and barefoot, carrying loads of mud, humming and humming as they climbed up the embankment from the river. When they reached the embankment, they carried the mud.

The soil in the load fell down, and then rushed down the embankment, continuing to dig and carry the soil.

There are also those who are having a slightly better time and use a wheelbarrow to push them, which saves a lot of effort.

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

This year, Lu Sheige traveled between the capital and Dongyang County. Her aunt mentioned it, and even the emperor's second brother implicitly asked her what kind of consort she wanted to find.

Just yesterday, when everyone was packing their bags and getting ready to go.

There are many bandits in spring, so there seems to be nothing wrong with going to suppress bandits now.

It makes people afraid to look directly.

As for Zhe Xue, she was raised as a boy since she was a child. She does not have the gentleness and gentleness of an ordinary woman, but has more of a murderous spirit, and is more like a man than Lu Shege.

The yamen servant frowned: "The road here is not easy, so let your young master go somewhere else."

"I was just passing by to take a look." Lu Sheige looked at the young-looking government servant and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "I heard that your area is the territory that Jiangjiaba is responsible for. I am also from Jiangjiaba, so I came here to take a look."
