She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 10 Conflict
Contrary to Xu Zhao, although Yang Luo was valued by his elders in his hometown, he was rejected by his cousin when he first entered Beijing, and he left Beijing with Pei Peng in desperation, so he was always worried about gains and losses, trying to show himself advantage over others.

Pei Peng's encouragement actually calmed his mind.

Regarding Pei Peng's different treatment, Xu Zhao didn't feel that he was being targeted, but only regarded it as a strict requirement.

Anyway, he was beaten by his grandfather and uncle at home, and Pei Peng's method was considered gentle.

But he was a little jealous of Yang Luo's good treatment. After the two got acquainted, he said to Yang Luo sourly:

"You boy, you are really lucky. The things you know happen to be exactly what your Highness needs."

Yang Luo didn't think that the princess's attitude was entirely due to his own talents. He could feel that the princess' admiring eyes were more tolerant and encouraging.

In other words, in his opinion, Pei Peng set a lower standard for him than Xu Zhao.

This made him a little sour, as if he was not good enough to meet His Highness's high standards, but there was also a subtle joy.

It's just that he hasn't figured out where this subtle joy comes from.

Yang Luo was tangled and tangled, but he suppressed this inexplicable joy and learned from Xu Zhao and other advisers in the team with a more diligent attitude.

Along the way, Xu Shu, apart from going to Aniang's place as an auditor, rode in the same carriage with Cheng Sanniang. Although the aunt and nephew were a generation apart, they were similar in age, so they could chat together.

Cheng Sanniang's single name is Fei, and she has a very cute personality—this is Xu Shu's beautified version.

In fact, Xu Shu always felt that this aunt was a little weird.

First of all, his character is too informal.

Xu Shu sat in a carriage with her for less than a day, and she offered to let Xu Shu call her by her nickname, saying that calling her "aunt" among her peers sounded too strange.

To be honest, Xu Shu felt that what Cheng Sanniang found strange was the strangest thing——

There are many young uncles and old nephews in each family and clan. If everyone is like this regardless of age, wouldn't the family be in chaos?

The second is that the concept is very unreasonable.

The reason was that Xu Qing summoned some domestic Kabuki dancers to drink and have fun.

This is also normal, the journey is long, and with Xu Qing's pampered temperament, he must not be able to bear it, even Pei Peng would not care too much about it.

But when Cheng Sanniang heard about this, she looked at Xu Shu several times with some trepidation, and then asked cautiously:
"Ashu, don't you mind? Your father is...uh, I mean he asks Kabuki and Maiko to drink together."

"What is there to worry about? Unless he drinks and makes trouble, and makes too much trouble, and embarrasses my mother-in-law, then my mother-in-law will take action."

Cheng Sanniang was silent for a long time, and finally said:
"If it were me, I would definitely mind."

Mind what?
Xu Shu didn't quite understand, but seeing Cheng Sanniang's depressed mood, she didn't ask anything.

The strangest thing about Cheng Sanniang is that she is surprisingly soft-hearted.

I met some refugees on the road. They were probably the people displaced by the severe drought in Xuzhou last year. Until the beginning of this spring, they had not returned home. They could only wander in the wilderness, looking for grass roots and wild things to fill their stomachs, trying to find someone willing to take in the refugees. city.

Regarding their miserable situation, even Xu Shu, who was born in a beautiful world, was not too surprised. At most, she asked the guards to throw some rough cakes from a distance, and had to shout to prevent them from colliding with the team.

What Xu Shu did was kind enough for the moment.

But Cheng Sanniang was not used to it. She always felt that this kind of relief method was too cold, and tried to distribute some food to orphans, widowed mothers and the elderly in private.

But she was quickly taught how to be a human being by reality——

Just a few cakes made the refugees fight, and also attracted other groups of refugees running nearby.

If Pei Peng hadn't brought enough guards and strong male servants, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.

Even so, some luggage frames were overturned, and two horses were frightened and almost escaped the driver's control. Fortunately, no one was injured and no valuables were lost, which would not lead to greater consequences.

There were some criticisms in the team. Even Xu Zhao, who had a somewhat oblique relationship with Cheng Sanniang, couldn't help asking Cheng Sanniang half-jokingly and half-sarcastically when the team stopped to rest that night:
"Great Sage, I wonder if your kindness has influenced those stubborn refugees and taught them etiquette, righteousness and shame?"

Cheng Fei has actually been blaming herself for a day, especially seeing that the servants of Pei Peng's family have been busy repacking their luggage, and the guard accompanying her frame was reprimanded for not stopping in time?

Even if Pei Peng didn't say anything, Cheng Fei understood that his actions had caused troubles to many people.

But Xu Zhao's disdain for the refugees still made Cheng Fei unhappy, and she couldn't help shouting:
"Are you born to understand etiquette, justice and integrity? Are they born to be humble and do not understand what benevolence and justice are, and do not understand what emotion is? It is obviously caused by people like you."

"Three Niangs,"

Because there was a lot of noise here, Pei Peng, who was not far away, heard the sound and rushed over, stopping Cheng Fei's next words.

Cheng Fei also felt a slip of the tongue and sighed angrily.

Xu Zhao taunted the other's cousin behind Pei Peng's back, and felt embarrassed when he was punctured on the spot, so he saluted silently, and was a little bit resentful of the resentment in Cheng Fei's words, so he stood silently.

Yang Luo was packing his bags nearby. Seeing this, he quickly pulled Xu Zhao away. When he was farther away, he persuaded:

"It's just that the little lady who was raised in a boudoir has never seen the sinister nature of people's hearts. Her original intention was to help others, and she didn't do anything wrong. What's more, everything has calmed down now, and the losses are negligible. What do you and her care about? , don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face.”

Xu Zhao snorted and defended himself:
"I just can't see people being stupid."

"She's just naive."

Xu Zhao looked back at Yang Luo and said half jokingly:

"I heard that you are following the path of the Cheng family, and Cheng Sanniang has made it clear for you. Why, this is a huge kindness that cannot be repaid, so..."

Before Yang Luo could refute, Xu Zhao quickly shook his head and refuted his own statement:
"Forget it. Brother Yang, listen to my advice. Don't look at Cheng Sanniang who is following my cousin now, and she looks like a young lady, but the Cheng family has only made a fortune for more than ten years, and it all depends on my eldest aunt." Help, no family education, no family heirloom, barely enough to fool some newly-broken families, and for you, it is not a good match."

Cheng Fei didn't know that Xu Zhao was talking about her background behind her back, otherwise she would have replied, "The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts," but she was following Pei Peng uneasily into the tent at this moment.
