She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 28 Unlucky
"Third lady, I also know that you have read more books than us, and you know some methods that we don't understand. But the brewing of wine really depends on the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation. This is the most suitable method. .”

Cheng Fei didn't expect that these craftsmen were obedient on the surface, but in fact they were obstructive when doing things. He couldn't help but said angrily:

"The wine we are going to make, from the materials to the process, is very different from what you have learned before. Naturally, we cannot follow the old method? What's more, even if something goes wrong, I will be responsible and will not blame you."

A young and energetic craftsman muttered in a low voice:
"Even if we don't need to be responsible for the loss, we haven't finished the scientific research this year, and we can't make up for the time lost."

Cheng Fei was stunned:
"What's wrong?"

The person closest to the young craftsman pulled him to prevent him from continuing, and then explained:
"San Niangzi, although we have been born as craftsmen for generations, we still have to do hard labor. It's just that most of the labor of peasant households is to build roads and bridges, and the labor of military households is to join the army and fight. The craftsmen are divided into tasks, and this is the case every year.

This year I have already lost some time due to traveling, and the climate in Taizhou is colder and the wine-making season is also short. If it is delayed for a few more months, then..."

Cheng Fei was confused.She thought that she had seconded technical backbones, but she never thought that they were working illegally, and they had to complete the work tasks before they could work for her.

"Can't we do it at the same time? I mean, brewing is mainly preliminary work. I'll find a few more people to help and brew the amount of wine you allocate."

Liang Tao originally just stood aside and did not interfere with the issues between Cheng Fei and the craftsman.

After all, even though Pei Peng pointed her out to mention Cheng Fei, she could still recognize her identity.

Slaves, it is their duty to properly remind them, and to solve the problem in a comprehensive manner is to go beyond.

Although Cheng Fei didn't care about this, she didn't even realize that Liang Tao was deliberately restraining her abilities. Instead, she felt that Liang Tao was always willing to help others...

However, in view of Cheng Fei's method, which sounds reasonable at first glance, but is completely unrealistic, Liang Tao still couldn't help explaining to her in a low voice:
"Sanniang, the servants of the Princess Palace are sent here to do what Your Highness has arranged for you, not to help the craftsmen complete their tasks. Even if you give the order, they dare not refuse, but..."

Cheng Fei understood. This meant that the work of the craftsman's household was not worthy of the help of the servants of the princess's house. Forcing the arrangement would cause dissatisfaction or even conflict between the two parties, which would not be conducive to her other work.

I don't know if these craftsmen can be exempted from labor?
Cheng Fei thought.

Maybe it is possible. In ancient times, wasn’t it possible to use money to pay for labor service?

But this kind of thing is obviously not something that Liang Tao or she can solve, so she still has to go to Pei Peng.

Cheng Fei felt that she was incompetent, and kept disturbing her again and again.

But before she could bother him, Pei Peng sent someone to look for her.

Before Pei Rong's letter was delivered, the people Pei Peng left behind in Beijing sent her the news that the emperor would formally start marriage negotiations.

In the royal family, marriage is never just about marriage.

This means many things.

The reshuffle of power, the reorganization of forces, the emperor will officially take charge, and a new round of fighting for the throne is about to begin...

Pei Peng has experienced such a life for more than [-] years, from being passive to trying to take the initiative, and then having to retreat to the food town.

This time, she didn't want to bet any more, but she also didn't want to be passive anymore.

How to grasp this scale is difficult.

Fortunately, she still has Cheng Fei.

Pei Peng felt that fate had tricked him.

Before her father left, the emperor, who had been wandering all his life, finally began to worry about his reputation after his death. In order to increase his glory, he sent people to search for strange people and strange things, but nothing happened.

As for her, she had Cheng Fei accidentally, and her attitude was naturally the same.

If she were a man, she might be able to say "My destiny is mine".

"Cousin, do you have anything to do with me?"

Cheng Fei was called over as soon as she finished breakfast. Because she had eaten a little too much, she subconsciously rubbed her belly.

Pei Peng also had a meal just now, and when the weather was hot, her appetite was not very good. She wanted to eat more cold food, but she was afraid of hurting her body. In the end, she just moved a few chopsticks hastily, and then removed it to let the servants share the food.

Seeing Cheng Fei's satisfied appearance, Pei Peng couldn't help being a little envious—she also loves food, but unfortunately there are few vegetables in Chengyang County, and they don't suit her taste.

She has cut back on her spending these days, and in order to make a good statement, she reluctantly buys high-priced ingredients for the kitchen. No, she is a bit out of shape.

"What did you eat this morning?"

Cheng Fei had never discussed this kind of life-oriented issue with Pei Peng, and he didn't react for a while.

After confirming that Pei Peng really used "Have you eaten? What did you eat?" This kind of common people's common catchphrase when talking to her, Cheng Fei said:
"Oh, didn't the big kitchen send someone to deliver rice porridge and noodles, as well as a fried chicken and some side dishes. I went shopping a few days ago and bought another jar of sauerkraut to eat with the porridge,"

To be honest, Pei Peng's share was much higher than Cheng Fei's, she could only sigh, it wasn't that the food prepared for her was not tasty, it was because she had no appetite.

"It's good. You just need to get used to the food here. If you want to eat anything, just tell the kitchen in advance and let them make it."

"Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with Manager Liu in the kitchen. Sometimes I ask him to find someone to help me try some new dishes."

Pei Peng stood up and took Cheng Fei's hand to sit aside. He looked at her carefully for a while. She seemed to be a little tanned and a little taller. Yes, she was not spoiled.

"It's like this, after the election these days, the emperor is probably about to make a decision.

After he was crowned as the crown prince, the late emperor had been in poor health, and there were many affairs in Beijing that year, so that he hadn't appointed a crown prince for a long time. It was a delay after all.

After this post-election is over, they will probably get married soon.I was thinking of going back, so I have to congratulate him anyway, and you, do you want to go back with me?Your parents probably miss you too. "

Pei Peng really wanted to go back, and he should go back. The vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without any reason, but the princesses didn't care, they could come and go freely.Moreover, when the emperor is getting married, it would be inappropriate for her as the emperor's sister to only give gifts and not show up.

But the news from Beijing also said that there has been an undercurrent surging recently, and I am afraid that someone is going to make trouble.

This is Pei Peng's trusted subordinate. He is capable and knowledgeable. If there is no accident in the family to avoid disaster, it will not fall into her hands and do some private affairs for her.

Therefore, she trusted the intuition of this subordinate, but the unknown always made her uneasy, especially under the premise that she had to get involved.

This is also the reason why she called Pei Peng, to see if she has any signs.

Cheng Fei was amused first.

The emperor's wedding?Only once in a few decades.

She couldn't miss this excitement.

Wait, she has to think about it, she always feels that this wedding is not very auspicious...
