She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 47 The sound of hooves

Of course Pei Peng will continue to take her in, Cheng Fei also knows this, the sisters are just joking.

After dinner, Cheng Fei invited Pei Peng to go for a walk in the garden.

Girls in this era exercise more frequently than Cheng Fei imagined. They will go horse racing, play polo, go outing, go to the garden, and learn sword dance and other dances, but this is more for entertainment than for entertainment. exercise routine.

Cheng Fei always felt that it was a bit unhealthy to eat, drink, and sit in a carriage for a long time to go home, and then have tea and listen to music. It was better to go to the garden together.

Pei Peng readily agreed.

Cheng Fei had a good impression of Wang Shu, and thought of what confused her, so she couldn't help asking about her.

Maybe it was because of meeting Wang Shu today, Pei Peng felt quite emotional, and when Cheng Fei asked about her, Pei Peng also came to talk about sex.

"I'm not familiar with her, I just met her a few times at some parties, but at that time she was still a child, and she spent more time with Ashu and the others. And her temperament is not very compatible with Ashu , so I have never been invited by Ah Shu to come to the house as a guest."

"But she does look a lot like her mother."

Cheng Fei was curious:

"Cousin, are you familiar with her mother?"

Pei Peng looked a little nostalgic. As he got older, those peers in his youth were either gone or alienated.

But when their respective children are about to get married, and even the next generation is about to be born, Pei Peng feels that many things in his youth, no matter good or bad, are worth remembering.

"Yes and no. I am familiar with her mother. But we are not too familiar with each other."

What kind of relationship is this?
Cheng Fei was confused.

Pei Peng didn't pay attention to Cheng Fei's expression, and gently pushed aside the protruding branches of the magnolia tree with his hand, the huge white flower disc trembled slightly under the moonlight.

Pei Peng continued:
"You probably also know that when I was young, my life in the palace was not very good. After I got my hair, it was time to discuss marriage, but I couldn't get high or low.

And Wang Shu's mother was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and the Gu family was more prosperous then than it is now.Gu Changjun was born with a good personality, good temperament, and talent. Even the late emperor once wanted her to be a concubine. "

Cheng Fei seemed to see a younger version of Wang Shu.

She thought to herself, maybe the mother and daughter are both Baochai-style characters.

Cheng Fei couldn't help asking:
"Then why didn't she become the princess later?"

"The princess talks about being beautiful, but no one can guarantee that she will always be beautiful. On the contrary, if she marries into a well-matched family, unless the world is in chaos, she will be able to survive for a long time.

And I think the Gu family is not willing to wade into the muddy water. The first emperor was young back then, he had many children, and the position of the crown prince has not yet been determined. Not every family is willing to take risks. "

Cheng Fei muttered:
"Then she's really smart. Well, her family should treat her very well."

Even in her era, there was no royal family long ago, many people still yearned for a society with different classes, and many parents still wanted to use their daughters to climb high.

Pei Peng smiled and said:

"Yeah, she is very smart, and her parents are also very good. At least she is luckier than her daughter. I envied her very much at that time. There is nothing bad about her, no beauty about her, and everything she wants."

"Then how did she die? I heard that Wang Shusheng's mother died young. It stands to reason that she was very young at that time."

Pei Peng paused for a moment, but did not answer. He just looked at the sky. There was no moon tonight, the stars were not shining, and the ink was so thick that it seemed like it was about to fall.

It's very late.

"That's another story, and it's very long. I don't have time to tell it today, let's go back and rest first."

Cheng Fei reluctantly agreed. She really loved eating this kind of ancient melon, but it was a pity that she didn't have the courage to ask Pei Peng to give up her sleep and tell her stories.

After Cheng Fei left, Pei Peng turned to a place shaded by flowers, trees and willows and asked:
"How is it, did you find out?"

A man with ordinary clothes and ordinary facial features flashed out. He followed behind Pei Peng silently, with his head slightly lowered, and he spoke in a low voice without rushing.

……

Xu Shu and his party rushed to Xiaoli Village.

The circulation of information in ancient times was inconvenient, and the location of Xiaoli Village was not in the same direction as the Hu people's southward route, so the people here did not show any panic.

They were just worried that the salesman who used to come every two weeks did not come this time. They waited for three days and did not arrive.

Some families have saved enough chickens, but they are reluctant to eat them, and they are afraid of spoiling them, so they wait for the peddlers to buy them.

There are also people who are tired of working these days, and feel that they are not strong enough after eating the food they usually eat, and they are reluctant to eat meat, so they think about adding more salt-eat salt to increase strength.Therefore, they also want to buy some salt from the salesman.

There are still some bits and pieces left, and there are some people who want to buy some needles and threads.

The village chief was thinking about organizing a few strong laborers to take a scooter to the city, when Xu Shu and others came to visit again.

Hearing what Xu Shu said about the current situation, he was flustered for a moment, and quickly settled down.

The geographical location of Xiaoli Village is good, very few barbarian detours come here to burn, kill and loot, otherwise the local rich will not be able to see their land.

What he is really worried about is the impact on buying and selling in the village, and whether there will be an influx of refugees in the future.

Xu Shu can only say:
"Sell me the chickens you want to sell, and buy them at the usual price. As for the things you need, I will count them in a while, and I will find someone to bring them over when the time comes, so you don't go out. Organize strong labor to patrol in turns, in case."

The village chief was stunned for a while, then sighed:
"Oh, it's really hard to think about living a peaceful life."

At this time, Xu Shu could not quite understand such emotion.

Although the barbarian gave her a big blow, she lived comfortably for the first ten years, and a sudden incident was not enough to make her miss her peaceful life.

She didn't say anything more, went to see the situation of land reclamation, and made sure that the farmers had received the subsidies they deserved before leaving.

Xu Shu held the reins in one hand and rode slowly on the horse. There were guards all around, so she was not afraid of any danger. She was still thinking wildly:
If we really want to promote this method, we have to find a way to reduce expenses.

Alas, I don't know if the wine made by her little aunt is ready, can I sell it?It would be nice if it could be sold, it would be an income.

Fortunately, Yang Luo had a plan in mind, agreed to Cheng Fei's affairs, and has been in charge all the time, because the people in the house were mixed, Yang Luo even tightened the control of the wine making yard, no one was allowed to move around, and he often stayed in the house. inside.

Xu Shu also heard people mention that the children living in the house spread such a rumor: that courtyard kept the stunning beauty raised by the princess.

It's really outrageous. Her mother has never been a good-looking person.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves, and there were more than one horse, and they were traveling at a fast speed. Even Xu Shu pulled away from her complicated thoughts and asked in surprise:

"Where is the cavalry?"

Cheng Yufeng raised his hand and signaled behind him to stop moving forward. Seeing this, Xu Shu quickly reined in his horse, waiting tensely for his next move.

"Cheng Jiang, take someone to investigate, and be careful not to be discovered."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the visitor is not kind, let's go to the forest to hide for a while, and then see how to deal with it."

Xu Shu bit her lip, trying to show a calm look.

She looked up and saw that there was indeed a dense forest nearby, and it was indeed a good place to hide on the half slope.

"Okay, I don't understand this. Everything is up to you."

　I have some time today, so I can update another chapter to make up for what I wrote yesterday.
