She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 42 Talent
Pei Peng smiled and raised his glass.

This request from Xu Xiao is so wonderful.

If Pei Peng succeeds, she will naturally gain the gratitude from Cheng Guogong's mansion and some dignity from the new emperor; if she fails to do it, she will have no loss.

The same is true for Xu Xiao. If she succeeds, she will send her husband's niece to a high position, and her status in her husband's family will be more stable; if she fails, no one will blame her.

It is precisely because of this friendship model of not embarrassing each other and helping each other that these two women with sensitive identities and connections with many powerful backgrounds can communicate relatively easily.

After finishing the serious business, Xu Xiao talked about his daughter's marriage.

After confirming that no one in the family objected, she sent someone to tell the Wang family about the news, and when the Wang family was interested, she arranged for a pair of young children to meet and see if they were compatible.

From the current point of view, the Wang family is also willing. Although the girls of the Wang and Li families will have some fights in the harem in the future, and it is not known whether the two families will be involved, but that will have to wait for the next generation to come out.

What's more, there are countless big families who have had enemies before, but they still get married from time to time.

"Ah Shu is not young anymore. Do you have any ideas? If so, I can help you find out. You know, there are many in-laws in my natal family, and there are well-known families in Jingzhao. I can give some advice to you." Let's go."

Pei Peng smiled helplessly:

"You know, I'm just a daughter, so I can't choose a son-in-law according to the normal criteria for marrying a daughter.

And now that we live in Taizhou permanently, I don't worry about letting her marry back to the capital alone, so I'd better wait. "

To Pei Peng, Xu Shu is a daughter, but her responsibilities are not inferior to those of her son who needs to inherit the title——

This is thanks to her great-grandmother, who supported the childless princess in choosing her daughter to be demoted to the title, and all of her mother's property.

Therefore, Pei Peng was very cautious about his daughter's marriage, fearing that he would choose a wolf who would not only steal the family property, but also kill people.

She has already verified that the ineffective children of the aristocratic family are not completely controllable, and the family behind them will inevitably covet something.

In the same way, it can be proved that the children of Xungui are not too different, and they may not even look as good-looking as the aristocratic family. After all, the aristocratic family always has to put on a show, but Xungui pays more attention to benefits.

What about the poor family?

This is the direction that Pei Peng is more optimistic about, and it is difficult for Xu Xiao's social circle to get in touch with these young people, so there is no need for Pei Peng to ask her.

Pei Peng said again:

"Speaking of which, I do have a marriage that I would like you to help me find a solution for."

"Who? Your cousin?"

Pei Peng brought an unmarried cousin to follow him all the way, and Xu Xiao knew it.

She thinks the same as most people, she just thinks that she wants to carry the sedan chair for her cousin, take her by her side to learn the rules for a few years, and then come back and choose a man with a good background.

After all, the status of the Cheng family is too low in the capital. Even if some down-and-out families want to use Cheng Fei to get in Pei Peng's way, they are limited.

"No, it's Qilang from the Xu family, Xu Zhao. As you know, he has been working with me recently, and his parents have returned to their ancestral home. When they are old, his parents are afraid that no one will handle the marriage. Let me show him the candidates. .”

Xu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. This was easier than Cheng Fei, but she felt that it was not that easy either.

The current situation of the Xu family is not very good, and Xu Zhao is not the second wife of the head of the family, and has no serious background--for many people, it is really not worthwhile to work next to the princess Pei Peng, and it is not appointed by the court. origin.

"Okay, there have been many various banquets in Beijing in the past few months, and there are many girls of the right age in each family. I will help you look at them when the time comes. However, it must be difficult to have everything."

Pei Peng nodded and just said:

"There are so many girls who are well-rounded. We are not too picky about our family background. Our parents are sensible and we don't have any unsatisfactory brothers in the family. It will be enough for me to be more open-minded."

Xu Xiao thought about these requirements carefully, and couldn't help but patted Pei Peng on the shoulder, laughing loudly:
"Isn't this considered a challenge? Regardless of family background, just looking at the last few requirements, I'm afraid it's enough to enter the palace."

……

"Sister, you don't have to talk to me about the big truth. I know that I have rushed to the throne. In matters of the court, I am far inferior to you who have served the emperor for several years. You just need to tell me who you want to send Entering the palace, why should I agree to them entering the palace, that is enough."

Pei Peng's mood was complicated. Pei Wei was indeed politically immature, but his talent was by no means low. He guessed her intentions without listening to what she said, and tried to turn her back.

But this is not a bad thing. Pei Wei will not be fooled around by others, and the court will be stable for a while.

Pei Peng calmed down and answered directly:
"One is Li Erniang from Duke Chengguo's mansion, and the other is Tian Sanniang from Princess Wenle's mansion."

The eldest princess Wen Le is the aunt of Pei Peng and Pei Wei, and one of the very few aunts who truly enjoy the title of eldest princess, needless to mention her status.

It's a pity that the Tian family has declined. Not only has it declined, but the prince-in-law also did a lot of wrong things, and even almost endangered his wife and children.

Princess Wen Le reconciled with the son-in-law altogether, leaving a son to be the patriarchal successor of the son-in-law Tian, ​​and the rest of the children stayed in the princess mansion.

Although the surname has not been changed, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the glory of the brothers and sisters of the Tian family will all come from the mother in the future, not the Tian family.

This Tian Sanniang is the concubine daughter of Princess Wenle's second son.

She is just a granddaughter, and a grandmother would never use her own face to seek a future for her.

But Wen Le also felt that it was a good choice to send a granddaughter to the palace. It didn't need to have a high title. It only needed to prove that the eldest princess was still a talkative figure in the capital.

Otherwise, she will grow old day by day, and her children will not be very successful, and if she doesn't move, she will really disappear.

Pei Peng had received some kindness from this aunt many years ago and wanted to repay it as soon as possible, so he took this job.

Unexpectedly, Pei Wei did not ask Pei Peng to explain anymore, but directly agreed.

Pei Peng couldn't help but be confused. Did she really have such a great reputation, or was Pei Wei setting a trap for her?
"Sister, you look like this? You seem a little surprised?"

Pei Peng doesn’t mind admitting his misjudgment:

"Yeah, since you are so persuasive, why didn't you agree before? What's more, you asked me to sit closer to you, and I thought I was needed,"

Pei Wei stood up with some satisfaction and looked down at Pei Peng:

"Need you to break apart the ground and analyze the pros and cons, and then point out the ambitions of the family, the dissatisfaction of the nobles, and the eagerness of the clan?"

"Since you know everything, why wait for me to persuade you?"

Pei Wei turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back:

"I only figured it out by watching your actions. You see, as soon as you entered Beijing, you met the Duke Cheng's mansion and the Princess Chang's mansion. Although you kept it secret, it was not that difficult for curious people. check."

"I just want to prevent others from asking, I don't want to hide the truth."

"Yes, I understand. I'm just curious. You've decided to stay in Taizhou for a long time, why bother to meet them as soon as you come back? Even if you really want to interfere in my harem, you should contact the Wang family and the Gu family.

Then I found out that both of these two families have daughters of the right age, and after I became a filial piety, they also made some moves.

You see, it's obvious.By inferring your purpose through your behavior, I can always guess something.Now that you have entered the palace again and said those words, there is nothing I don't understand. "

This makes sense, but:
"Why me? If I don't feel wrong, you don't like my sister,"

Pei Wei interrupted her:

"No, no, strictly speaking, I don't like every brother and sister, and you are not so annoying. So I don't mind flattering you, and you probably don't mind supporting me when necessary, don't you?"

This made sense, Pei Wei smoothly let Pei Peng accept this favor, and let the outside world understand this fact:
She, Pei Peng, has once again become Jane's figure in the emperor's heart.

Of course, this honor comes at a price.

But she wasn't afraid, instead, there was a burning heat rolling from her chest.

She knew that it was dangerous to be close to the imperial power again, but, as Pei Wei said, she didn't mind being used by him for this promotion.

Because she needs to use this promotion to dig her roots deeper.

If Pei Wei has the talent for power, then she actually has this talent too - after all, being willing to take risks is a must-have trait for all ambitious people.
