She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 27 Nanke Yimeng

Pei Rong took Pei Peng's letter and read it.

The two sisters were not close, and Pei Rong did not expect that she would write to him.

After seeing the content, she vaguely guessed the reason.

The letter asked her:

"The flowers in Beijing are blooming more, has the cough relapsed?"

This was obviously not something Pei Peng would ask. Although she expressed her greetings meaningfully, she did not ask in such detail.

Pei Rong already guessed who she was asking for.

Although the friendship in the past had long since dissipated and they each had families and careers, they were cousins ​​after all. It was not only Cao Shao who cared about her, but she also cared about each other.

After all, what happened in the past few years was not easy for either her or the Cao family.

And Cao Shao's temperament, although kind, is also weak.

When the family's blessing cannot devote too much energy to him, if there is any turmoil in Taizhou, he may not be able to protect himself.

And this turmoil seems to be inevitable.

After all, if the nest is overturned, will the eggs be intact?

Thinking about it this way, Pei Rong felt a little more inexplicable towards this younger sister who was far away in Taizhou.

I hope that she will develop well and help Cao Shao at the critical moment; but I am also afraid that if she develops too well, she will become the one that brings turmoil to Taizhou.

Pei Rong sat alone for a long time looking at the covered flower trees outside the window.

"Your Highness, why are you sitting here?"

Pei Rong turned around and smiled:
"Consort, you're back. Are your parents okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that as we get older, we tend to get sick easily when the seasons change. I heard that Princess Chengyang sent native products? Why did she think of dealing with us?"

Pei Rong shook the letter paper in his hand, and said helplessly:
"It's probably because I'm far away from the capital, and I feel uneasy. I asked me how I was recently, and also asked how the wind direction is in the capital. How many of us are sisters? When my father left, I was really like a frightened bird. She ran away early. , I stay here, but I can’t move.”

The man put his hand on Pei Rong's shoulder and comforted him:
"I look at the new emperor and don't have the energy to do anything. Now I have to be busy getting married, and I have to be busy gathering power after marriage. In addition, in recent years, various places have not been peaceful. There are either refugees or disputes. Wait for him to free up his hands." Come on, it’s no longer worth haggling with brothers and sisters who don’t support his succession.”

Pei Rongxin said, even if I don't mind him getting married and taking power smoothly, there are still some people who should care - not to mention, I mind too.

So, let's give Pei Peng a hint, let's manage in Shiyi in a peaceful manner in recent years, and don't rush to meddle in Beijing's affairs.

Think of it as repaying her... Greetings for Cao Shao's friendship.

Pei Peng still didn't know that the new emperor was busy choosing a queen and concubine. Although it had only happened in the past few years, she secretly hoped it would be later, so she didn't go out of her way to find out.

It's not for anything else, it's just that she has been tight on money in recent years, and it is obvious to the naked eye that it will continue to be tight...

So she no longer wants to give a gift to a brother who has no friendship or even a little bit of hatred.

And it's not just a copy, the queen's, the concubine's, but she has to give congratulatory gifts to anyone who comes from a family that has a little friendship with her.

The landlord's family does not have so much surplus food.

"A Fei, are you really taking my cousin for a fool? Why is the cost of the plan sent this time about [-]% higher than last time?"

Cheng Fei shrank her neck, just smiled and didn't speak.

This requires research and development funds, isn't it just a matter of bargaining back and forth.Otherwise, it will be less this time, and if it is reduced next time, it will really not be enough.

Pei Peng took a closer look, then found out the previous plan for comparison, and stated decisively:

"Here, and here, according to the original amount. The rest can be relaxed for you, but you have to really show the result, even if it is just a sellable wine. Understand, otherwise I will have a hard time in the future. I'll give you the money again, and you know that it will cost a lot for them to open up wasteland."

Taking the note that Pei Peng stamped, Cheng Fei first went to the three stewards in charge of the warehouse keys to ask them to pick up the money and utensils.

Then I asked the steward who was in charge of the servant to list a list of employment, and asked him to select people according to the above requirements, and to choose them and bring them to her within two days.

And craftsmen with winemaking skills, wine barrel making skills, etc., are under the supervision of another manager.

Cheng Fei didn't dare to pretend to others, fearing that the craftsman selected there would be unsuitable and delay the process, so she could only bite the bullet and run for another time, talking to the steward about her needs in a thoughtful manner.

When she finally made a big circle and went back to her yard to rest, she suddenly remembered that she had people, money, and tools, but she didn't have a place...

At first, she just tried it from her memory, and there was no need to set up a workshop, but there had to be an independent area to do it.

Cheng Fei was too lazy to move. He searched his mind for some external conditions required for microbial fermentation and gave them to the maid so that she could remember them. Then he went to the steward of the courtyard to ask if there were any vacant yards and cellars with such conditions in the princess's mansion.

"Is she tired?"

When Pei Peng heard that Cheng Fei was going round and round to ask the stewards for help, she was amused, but she was afraid that the stewards who had been in charge for many years would make things difficult for her, so she had to arrange someone to follow her.

"Yes, but there is still a yard that has not been arranged. Sanniangzi sent someone to ask."

"She finally thought of using people to do things. If she does it herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to manage the craftsmen who make wine and the servants who work."

"Third Lady loves the servants dearly, and is always unwilling to use us for work."

It is indeed.

And this is what Pei Peng was curious about.

Among her guesses about Cheng Fei's identity, one is that she is still the same as before, but suddenly has the ability to predict.

And this speculation was overturned with the change of Cheng Fei's personality and living habits.

She has changed so much that even if she is still the same person, it cannot be explained by "suddenly having a special ability".

The other is that she may have had a "Nanke Yimeng" experience.

And in that dream, maybe the people are still the same people now, and even the development of things can be traced.

But Cheng Fei spent a long time in the dream, glimpsed some kind of secret, and learned skills that she couldn't touch at all with her current status.

Therefore, even though she is still the same Cheng Sanniang, it is normal for her personality and habits to change.

This is also a guess that Pei Peng agrees with.

Can……

Did Cheng Fei not have a good life in that dream?So much so that even the servants are not used to using it.

With Cheng Fei's trust and following for her, Pei Peng thinks that he is not a mean and unkind person. Even if Cheng Fei has no ability, as a loyal maternal cousin, Pei Peng can't let her live well. so bitter.

And Cheng Fei herself doesn't seem to be very good at work.

She is not good at knitting, dressing, or cooking.

If no one does these things, how can she live?
That is……

In the world in Cheng Fei's dream, one can live a good life without having to use servants to do the work?

Pei Peng can't imagine what kind of world it is. Is it a world with countless tools that are more magical than wooden carts, oxen and horses?
