Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3427 Water City Jianye
Hearing that Yang Ruoqing was going to Shuicheng Jianye to find her grandson Chen'er who had been lost for seven years, Yang Huazhong and Sun's were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, it's time to go, dad will go with you to pick up my little grandson and go home."

Yang Huazhong said excitedly.

Sun wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, "I'll stay at home. When my family's Chen'er comes back, I will cook all the dishes I know how to cook, so that my family's Chen'er can taste it."

Regarding Sun's proposal, Yang Ruoqing just nodded with a smile.

As for Yang Huazhong's proposal, Yang Ruoqing directly vetoed it.

"Father, it's fine for me to go to Jianye alone, and you stay at home. It's spring, and the farming season will soon be busy."

"Whether it's at home or in the village, they're still counting on you to make up their minds!"

"I'll go back quickly. If everything goes well, I'll be back when I do Qingming." She said.

Yang Huazhong asked Yang Ruoqing: "Where is the water city of Jianye? Where is it?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said, "It's located in the southeast of Daqi, with Yuncheng to the east and Licheng to the north, a city along the coast in the southeast of Daqi."

"Because there are several rivers passing by in that city, and it is also a port city, so it is called Water City."

"I heard that hundreds of years ago, the former dynasty set the water city of Jianye as its capital, and later moved the capital to Yanjing in the north."

Generally speaking, the water city of Jianye should be a city with beautiful scenery, good weather conditions, and pleasant living.

However, it is not very suitable as a capital city.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and it is safer to set up the capital in Yanjing.

After bidding farewell to all the elders in the family, Yang Ruoqing set off on the road alone.

For the convenience of traveling along the way, lodging, etc., she deliberately disguised herself as a man, with a black gold whip wrapped around her waist, and Mo Xie sword was naturally beside her.

Looking at the figure of Yang Ruoqing galloping away, Yang Huazhong and the others silently prayed in their hearts for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, bless her with a smooth journey, and bless the smooth reunion of mother and child...

What is wishing to have a pair of wings?

Yang Ruoqing is ready now.

If it weren't for the worry that the horse under her would die suddenly due to overwork, she would have wished to eat, drink, and sleep all on horseback.

But this horse was raised by himself, and its mother was also raised by her.

Yang Ruoqing felt sorry for her horse, so she hurried on the road during the day, and would still find a place to stay at night so that the horse could also rest.

All the way across the state and counties, passing through large and small county towns and towns and villages.

It was the beginning of February in the lunar calendar. In Changping Village, the rapeseed and wheat buried under the permafrost gradually began to break through the ground after a whole winter of dormancy, revealing bits and pieces of fresh green in the fields.

However, this road is going to Yecheng, and the fields on both sides of the road are greener and darker.

In the fields, many peasants had already seen their trouser legs rolled up, driving old cows to cultivate in the fields.

On the field ridges full of spring, in the groves, women dig wild vegetables together,

The children were busy catching butterflies, dragonflies, and picking wild flowers.

One day, when she was thirsty, she led her horse to a nearby ditch to drink some water, and saw groups of black tadpoles flicking their tails happily at the bottom of the clear water. swimming.

Suddenly, I thought of the children's story about the little tadpole looking for his mother.

Now, it's her mother who came to look for her little tadpole. Seven years ago, the little tadpole back then has grown into a little frog, right?
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing was filled with anticipation and excitement, drank a few sips of water, got on the horse again, and galloped towards Yecheng.

More than ten days later, when she saw various wild flowers blooming on the green grass at the intersection ahead.

A road stele was erected at the most conspicuous place at the intersection, with two big characters engraved on it: Jianye.

She raised her hand to wipe the hot sweat from her forehead, smiled, and finally reached the boundary of Yecheng.

Chen'er, mother is here, mother is here to pick you up and go home!

Shuicheng Jianye.

Fireworks in March, the drizzle is like silk, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

Early in the morning, the sky was still raining, but the emerald river in the center of the water city was full of boats.

On both sides of the Emerald River, behind the bluestone slabs are all kinds of shops, restaurants and teahouses.

There were crowds of people beside the fence near the river, and there were also people standing by the windows above the restaurants and teahouses.

Today, everyone's eyes are focused on the largest painting boat in the middle of the Emerald River.

The painting boat is nearly three stories high, with carved railings and painted buildings. All kinds of men and women walking in the painting boat are well-dressed, elegant and elegant, full of taste and style.

Even the maidservants shuttled back and forth with exquisite plates and dishes on the painting boat are eye-catching, making people curious about the feast that is going on in the painting boat.

"Which rich family's painting boat is this? It's really luxurious and elegant. Is this painting boat holding a reception?"

A middle-aged man asked curiously at the fence by the river.

Another man beside him glanced sideways at the middle-aged man, and said, "Your accent, sir, is it from outside?"

The middle-aged man who asked the question before nodded repeatedly: "My little brother has good ears, I am a businessman from other places."

The local guy just laughed, "Then guest officer, you are lucky to come to Yecheng, our water city, just in time for Yecheng's triennial water banquet!"

"Water banquet? Is it a banquet held on water?" The outsider asked again.

Apparently, he met a local who was enthusiastic and patient.

"Guest officer, the word "banquet" really tarnishes today's cultural feast on the water." The local said.

"We have a literary banquet on the water in Yecheng every three years. The so-called literary banquet is to invite all kinds of famous writers and scholars from all walks of life to come to give lectures and exchange ideas."

"It's really wonderful. It can be called a literary feast in the world. For those scholars, it's really a good opportunity to give enlightenment, make the finishing point, and point out the maze!"

"Of course, the banquet you mentioned, guest officer, will also be held, and the food and drink will not be served until the cultural banquet is over."

"The food and wine are the best delicacies and the most beautiful wine in the world. The maids serving the wine and food are thirteen prostitutes on both sides of the Qinhuai River..."

"Wow..." The outsider opened his eyes wide in surprise, "It seems that this trip to Yecheng is really lucky."

"Then I would like to ask my brother, since there are great writers on the boat giving lectures, and famous prostitutes serving food and drinks, why do you guys still stand on the fence and watch from a distance instead of going on the boat?" the outsider asked again. .

The local brother couldn't laugh or cry, pointed at the painting boat and said, "Let's not talk about common people like us, even wealthy businessmen with surnames and big and small officials in this city may not be qualified to board the boat!"

"Those who are lucky enough to go on board to listen to the lectures are all specially invited, with status, status, contacts and background. Let's just stand at the fence and take a look."

　In the book review area, I saw a lot of friends betting on Latiao, so what, Latiao counts as Xiaoyu.Mother and child must be reunited today, and if they don’t, Xiaoyu will live broadcast and chop his hands... 嘎嘎
