Chapter 14 wanton
She replied honestly:

"Since your parents don't want to tell you, it means that they don't want you to worry about these things anymore. What's more, you know about the changes in the capital. If you really want to say how carefree my second sister is, it's impossible. It’s just that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, she will figure it out slowly, and there are also the son-in-law and the children.”

Cao Shao's expression was a little downcast. In fact, he could guess that a person who was so proud, her elder brother was imprisoned, her mother concubine and younger brother died, and her mother's family could not lend a helping hand, how good she would be.

After seeing off Cao Shao, Pei Peng didn't want to go back to the banquet, so he simply found a waterside pavilion to sit down and admire the moon.

Since leaving the capital, she didn't think much about those people and things in the capital. Now when Cao Shao asked her, she would inevitably think of Pei Rong.

Pei Rong is different from her, she is a real sweet girl of heaven, she has been favored by thousands of people since she was born, but once she is rejected by the emperor's father, she will fall the hardest.

From this point of view, it is difficult for Pei Peng to say how bad the emperor's father was to her. Even though he was mostly using him, he was trying to keep her away.

Although Pei Rong was the secondborn, the eldest princess died when she was young, so Pei Rong was the eldest daughter in the true sense. It was much easier for Pei Rong to win the favor of the emperor than Pei Peng.

In addition, in order to gain power in the early days, the first emperor got close to the daughters of the aristocratic family. Naturally, Pei Rong's mother and concubine had a good background. Apart from Pei Rong, she also had two sons beside her, namely the second prince and the fifth prince. In the harem, it can be regarded as a unique scenery.

When Pei Peng was young, many times he looked at this elder sister's star-studded moon from afar, watching him easily get what she couldn't desire.

As for Pei Rong, it was only after Pei Peng was valued by the late emperor that he really saw her as his sister.

However, Pei Peng did not hate Pei Rong. Compared with his other brothers and sisters who bullied and suppressed the unfavored prince and princess, although Pei Rong was a bit prouder, he would not target anyone without reason.

After Pei Peng was valued, Pei Rong never targeted the younger sister who stole the emperor's father's favor—maybe she had seen through it at that time, it was never their children who decided all this, but the girl on the dragon chair. people.

After Pei Peng decided to leave Beijing, he paid a rare visit to the second sister. The two sisters had been sisters for half their lives, but it was the first time they sat down to talk alone.

Pei Rong also has food, but she doesn't want to leave, saying that she wants to see the father who has been on guard against his children for half his life, and who will hand over the country.

At that time, Pei Peng knew that in fact, more than one person saw the hidden dangers and undercurrents in Jingzhong, but there were people in Jingzhong who they cared about, things they were unwilling to do, but she was different, she chose to take a step back and stand outside the circle To watch all this unfold.

The best thing about her choice is that she also has Cheng Fei.

Although I don't know the origin, some supernatural powers are always right, especially, she doesn't seem to mind using them for herself.

Pei Peng leaned against the railing, his thoughts wandering until he was interrupted by a call.

"Auntie, are you here?"

Xu Shu was a little bored in there, seeing her father drinking and having fun with others, she also found an excuse to run out.

Pei Peng sent someone to lure Xu Shu over, and then asked someone to prepare some sweet melon and fruit soup to refresh her daughter.

"Aniang, do you know, I heard from them that there are often Hu merchants who come in and out of the border in Taizhou, and occasionally they bring excellent horses, and there are many pastures here, which are very suitable for horse racing. Some people invited me to go Playing at her horse farm."

Pei Peng looked at his daughter in high spirits, and saw her talking about the things he was most interested in. In a trance, he remembered that when the first emperor went hunting, Pei Rong rode a horse and stood among the brothers in high spirits.

At that time, she was not qualified to travel with him, so she could only sit in the farewell team and look at the proud imperial sister with envy.

Now her daughter also has the qualifications to run around and hunt wantonly, and she will never let her daughter become Pei Rong today.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, then went to change their clothes and returned to the banquet.

Cao Shao's expression returned to normal, he talked with his wife tenderly, and thoughtfully brought food for his daughter, and told his son not to drink too much.

Pei Peng glanced at it, then looked away, and sat back.

As soon as she came, Xu Qing, who had drunk a lot, restrained himself, moved the wine glass away, and leaned over to ask:

"Are you tired? If you are tired, let them go."

Although Pei Peng also likes to drink, he doesn't like to smell the alcohol on others, so he pushed Xu Qing's face to keep him away, then nodded:
"It's okay, the days are long, there is always a chance to get familiar with each other gradually, don't rush it."

As soon as Pei Peng came back, everyone noticed that the crowd who had been scattered and chatted, but had gathered in one place to have fun sat back one after another.

When Pei Peng clapped his hands to indicate that he had something to say, even the low-pitched conversation stopped.

"Everyone, everyone, thank you for your hospitality today. I feel like you are at home. However, today I am a guest. Tomorrow, we will all be from Taizhou. After I have rested my house, it will be my turn to entertain you. I hope you will be able to Let’s enjoy today’s feast together.”

The next guests heard the song and understood its elegant meaning, so they stood up to leave one after another. Another girl had a good chat with Xu Shu and invited her to play in the village at home, and Xu Shu also agreed.

And there are quite a few invitations from Xu Qing.

Everyone could see that this prince-in-law was really just a prince-in-law and could not be the princess's master.

But it doesn't matter if he can't be the master. After all, he is the son of the Xu family, so he won't suffer from being friends with him. What's more, Xu Qing is very shallow-minded, so it is not difficult to please him.

Someone invited him to appreciate paintings and calligraphy at home, and someone invited him to visit the beautiful scenery. Xu Qing also picked a few of them, feeling that he performed really well today, and made several friends so quickly.

The most sincere one was Zhou Keping. When he came to bid farewell to Pei Peng, he took the initiative to say:
"Your Highness, since I heard the news that you are coming, I have started to have people renovate the Princess Mansion, and it has been repaired now. However, there may be some places that are not complete. Do you think you should send someone to check and accept it, or I will let the person in charge to call you back?"

Pei Peng was a little speechless. To be honest, she always felt that the county magistrate was a little speechless.

If someone else took the initiative to renovate the Princess Mansion, he should have introduced the situation to her to show his intentions, but he said something dry and asked Pei Peng to send someone to inspect it.

But honest people also have good things about honest people, Pei Peng thought for a while and made a decision:

"Okay, you don't need to send the steward over. I'll send someone to check it. You can ask the steward to wait and explain it when the time comes."

Things were settled, and Zhou Keping also left. He was the magistrate of a county, and now it was farming time, so he couldn't leave for too long. If it wasn't for Pei Peng's residence in their county, Zhou Keping actually didn't want to run away.
