She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 33 Carving
Xu Shu still didn't go.

Pei Peng stopped her with just one sentence:
"Take you there, and we need to allocate more people to protect you."

Then there’s no need to take daddy with you?

Xu Shu didn't ask this question.

Pei Peng handed over all matters in the palace to his trusted stewards, and gave Xu Shu the power to make decisions, and asked Xu Zhao to assist.

Cheng Fei had silenced her memory of the brewing process and left it to the craftsmen to practice one by one. She also asked Yang Luo to help supervise.

Pei Peng also asked Cao Shao and Zhou Keping to take care of him, and finally left with Xu Qing and Cheng Fei in the early morning of one day.

Xu Shu continued to work hard to promote the land reclamation of Xiaoli Village as usual, but she became much quieter.

Xu Zhao still feels sorry for this cousin. Although their family has a more complicated situation, they are not as sharp, ugly, and ruthless as the royal family.

The royal family has the most supreme power and the most favorable crowd.

Who would have thought that one day, his aunt would have to go back to the capital, and it would be so difficult and dangerous.

What is even more worrying is his uncle.

Xu Zhao originally came to persuade his cousin to relax, but when he thought of Xu Qing, he became worried and couldn't help sighing.

As soon as he sighed, Xu Shu laughed, and didn't want to talk about these troublesome things anymore, but asked about the Xu family.

"Brother Zhao, have you received any letters from home recently? Is grandma feeling better?"

Xu Zhao relied on the servants to retreat, and couldn't help but glared at Xu Shu. Didn't she know why her grandmother fell ill?
If the differences between the mother and son cannot be resolved, the grandmother will not be able to get better, and naturally her body will not get better.

However, he did not cover up for his second uncle and said bluntly:

"There are good times and bad times. With the second uncle standing in front of her, it's good or bad."

Xu Shu looked sideways, of course she knew that the other rooms and the second room of the Xu family were not in harmony.

After all, with his eyes on the top of his head, Erfang couldn't restrain himself in front of her, let alone the other families who were determined to be suppressed by Erfang.

But are there already so many contradictions?

During this period of time, Xu Zhao became closer to Xu Shu, his cousin, and the letter written by his parents also revealed that they were not optimistic about the second room.

It's not that he must vote for Pei Peng, but Pei Peng is a princess, not a prince, and he only has one daughter under his knees, and his ambition is limited, so it is difficult to get involved in more severe disputes.

On the contrary, it was the second room. The lesson they learned last time had already caused them to leave the capital and return to their hometown, and they were ready to make another move this time.

But this time it's even more dangerous.

Before, it could be said that the late emperor had not established a prince, so the Xu family could gain the advantage of being a slave to the dragon. If not, Pei Peng could still benefit.

Now, the new emperor has been registered and is an adult. He is not as likely to die young as a child. He will get married and officially take charge of the throne in a while.

The second room is still not reconciled to the certainty of the matter, but the other rooms are timid.

Originally, as long as the heart is put down to cultivate children and grandchildren, it will be a bit slow, and there will always be a day of recovery. If we blindly take risks, how many people will "die of illness"?
Xu Zhao explained in a vague way why he was dissatisfied with his second wife. Xu Shu heard the song and knew the elegant meaning. She wrote it down and planned to talk to her when she came back.

If you really want to count, the one who counted Pei Peng the most is Xu Shu's grandfather who "died of illness", and the other is Xu Shu's second uncle.

As for Mrs. Xu, she just wanted to obey her husband and son.

Even the maid who provoked the relationship between Xu Shu and Pei Peng secretly took refuge in the second wife of Xu's family, which was not Mrs. Xu's original intention.

Therefore, Xu Shu has a high degree of confidence that A Niang will reconcile with the Xu family other than the second room.

The brother and sister exchanged information, and Xu Shu asked about Yang Luo again.

Pei Peng brought several staff to Chengyang County, as well as several young scholars, but Xu Zhao and Yang Luo were the closest.

When Xu Shu asked, Xu Zhao told Yang Luo's location.

"Before Cheng San left, didn't she ask A Luo to help her keep an eye on the wine making business? He is a responsible person and will go there whenever he has free time. He even brought me a pot of fruit wine the day before yesterday."

Xu Zhao thought of something and mocked:
"That Cheng San is so whimsical. He thought that wine could be made from books he read somewhere? I drank a cup, and it was clearly a more sour fruit drink."

Xu Shu was very curious. It was not easy to make something like fruit drink nowadays. It was often the secret recipe of each family, so the taste was different.

"Let's go take a look. I want to try this fruit drink you mentioned. If it tastes good, it can be sold."

Xu Zhao frowned.

Nowadays, people eat more sugar, and nobles can pay high prices to buy stone honey from the Western Regions, but the sweetness is not high, so people are crazy about sweetness.

Xu Zhao is naturally one of the trendy people, so he can't appreciate the sour fruit drink.

But Xu Shu was interested, and he had nothing to do, so he went with her.

Because winemaking is a secret recipe, even if it is not successful, the management is relatively strict.

There is a remote courtyard in the Princess Mansion, and servants are not allowed to walk around here.

There are still guards at the gate of the yard.

Seeing the princess and young master Tang coming, the gatekeeper quickly saluted and opened the locked door.

Xu Shu came here for the first time and asked in surprise:

"Do you still want to lock it?"

The servant at the door kept moving his hands and answered hurriedly:

"When I returned to Your Highness, it was originally unlocked, but Master Yang came once and found that some servants would chat with relatives and friends at the door, or even bring people in.

Master Yang was afraid of revealing something, so he simply asked the villain to lock the door from the outside, and then opened it when he was eating or resting. "

Xu Zhao asked:
"Is Ah Luo in there too?"

"Master Huitang, you are here. Master Yang said he had a day off today and came here early."

As the brother and sister walked inside, Xu Shu sighed:
"He is really attentive. Maybe it would be more suitable for him to manage the brewing than my aunt."

When Xu Zhao gets the chance, he will criticize Cheng Fei:
"Of course, this girl Cheng San, although she knows some inexplicable things and I don't know where she learned them from, but when it comes to handling things, she is far inferior to A Luo."

At this time, Yang Luo, who was praised for his carefulness, was actually...

He was sitting at the pavilion in the yard, sharing a pot of "fruit wine" brewed with fruits and drinking it slowly. There were also carving tools and a piece of jade of good material on the table.

The brewing here is actually on the right track.

Although the brewing was a little bad, senior craftsmen still said that this direction should be correct. It may be that the temperature or humidity is not suitable, so just follow the experiment.

So when Yang Luo came over, he really just watched them work. The rest of the time he just entertained himself.

As a single man without a wife or children who has successfully found a semi-employed job, Yang Luo develops his own hobbies - such as carving - when he has free time.

He hasn't decided yet whether to give it as a gift, but he already has an idea.
