She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 5
Xu family.

"Letter? What letter?"

Xu Jiao heard early in the morning that someone from the main courtyard had sent a letter to the princess' mansion. He was so worried that he didn't even bother to comfort his concubine, so he hurried over to ask about the reason.

Mrs. Xu's face was covered with thick powder, and she couldn't hide the gauntness between her brows. Faced with her second son's question, she closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't want to look at her son who she was so proud of.

"It's nothing, I just told His Highness to deal with the servant girl, and asked her to help take care of Zhao'er."

"That servant is just loyal, so why should mother be harsh? What's more, Your Highness has already separated from my Xu family, so why should you chill the heart of a loyal servant just to please the princess's house."

Xu Jiao didn't approve of his mother's handling, and he didn't think that such a small matter could win Princess Chengyang over——

The most important thing is, even if he is recruited, what good will it do him?

"faithful servant,"

Mrs. Xu chewed the word playfully, finally opened her eyes and glanced at her second son, but she didn't say anything, she just changed the subject as if nothing had happened:
"Okay, a maidservant, is it worth arguing with me? Zhao'er is going to travel with His Highness, you, uncle, go and arrange some manpower for him."

This was an impromptu decision last night. Xu Jiao didn't agree, but he also felt that even if a young nephew with no achievements could take refuge in the Princess Mansion, it wouldn't affect the overall situation, so he just agreed , resigned and left.

In the yard not far away, Xu Zhao was leaning on one side, watching his mother help him pack his luggage.

"Well, with the current situation at home, your second uncle can't even take care of his own son, let alone your nephew, it's better to go out for a while, follow the princess, at least it will be safer."

Mrs. Xu Wu ordered her servants to rummage through boxes and chests to search for things, and at the same time said to her son:
"Fortunately, your mother and I have never offended His Highness in all these years, and I still have a bit of face, otherwise I will be like your third aunt... hmph, so what if I came from a good background, and I didn't see her natal family help the third bedroom one. Bundle."

Xu Zhao smiled, as if he was responding to his mother's words, but he was not as optimistic as his mother in his heart.

The Xu family is indeed in trouble, but the Princess Mansion is not necessarily a watertight boat, it is just a helpless choice.

For Pei Peng, Xu Zhao also had no choice but to leave the imperial capital and go to the fiefdom. She didn't have the people she needed, but she didn't dare to trust the Xu family.

However, the Xu family bowed their heads and sent their nephews over. As a daughter-in-law and aunt, she always had to cooperate with her in a happy gesture.

In order to wait for Xu Zhao, Pei Peng deliberately stayed an extra day to save face for her husband's family, but she didn't think that Xu Zhao was not the only one waiting for this extra day.

……

The clothes and accessories that Yang Luo brought were all made from the styles in Beijing that his parents had learned from merchants before leaving home. But when he actually stepped into the imperial capital, he found that what was popular in Beijing was completely different.

He didn't bring his maid along, and it was too late to make a rush, so he had to ask someone to buy back clothes that fit better early in the morning. After getting dressed, he took a deep breath and went straight to his cousin's house.

Yang Jun is a member of the Ministry of Officials, Shangfeng is capable and diligent, and the dignitaries wantonly interfere in the appointment and dismissal of court officials, so even though he is in the Ministry of Officials, he does not have much real power, but it sounds like a bluff.

Especially relatives and friends from the local area, they always feel that he, as an official insider, can provide them with much convenience. In fact, Yang Jun's own sons...

Not to mention.

As soon as Yang Luo, a cheap nephew, came to the house, Yang Jun drove out his second son and third son, who were idle at home, to entertain the guests, and took Yang Luo's hand and talked about the embarrassment in the bureaucracy, which kept Yang Luo brewing all night. The words of pleading were blocked back.

Yang Luo's face was a little red, and he was ashamed and embarrassed. When he was in his hometown, he never had to ask for help, but when he arrived in Beijing, he had no choice but to ask for help:
"Uncle, nephew is actually not,"

Yang Jun waved his hand and interrupted Yang Luo:
"I know, I know, A Luo is different from my two incompetent sons. When your father wrote to me, he praised you a lot. Uncle, if there is any good opportunity, I am willing to leave it to you. We are family after all.

However, now that the capital is in chaos, why do you need to get involved in this muddy water, Aluo?You might as well go back to your hometown and help the elders in the family to manage the place well. In the future, you might not be able to take advantage of the wind. Maybe, the uncle's family will also have to rely on your protection in the future. "

Having said so much, Yang Luo couldn't express any more requests. He managed to maintain his emotions, had dinner, drank wine, and enjoyed singing and dancing at Yang Jun's house, and then returned to the newly rented house with a heavy heart .

Not long after Yang Luo entered the house, he heard a noise in the house on the left. Before the steward rented a house for his lord, he had inquired about the identities of the nearby neighbors. Some vines are wealthy relatives, but most do not require special attention.

There is only one family, that is, the family to the left of Yang Luo. They are from a poorer background. It is said that they were still farming in the suburbs more than ten years ago. However, they have good luck. They have a mother-in-law and a favored Chengyang princess. They are both prosperous and prosperous now. You can also settle down and buy a house in this imperial capital.

Yang Luo stood in the courtyard and heard that the argument was between parents and children next door. It wasn't an accident, so he didn't care too much and was about to enter the house.

But just before he entered the room, a female voice came to his ears:

"My cousin is going to move his family into a fiefdom. Even though there are local officials appointed, how can he really become a hands-off shopkeeper with his temperament? He must have some rectification.

It's the occasion of employing people, how can my cousin care if the person who follows her is a man or a woman, and what is his background?This is my chance! "

Although Yang Luo felt that the little lady was a little whimsical, he had to say that his heart was moved.

There is no hope for Tang Bo, and the Yang family doesn't have many contacts in Beijing. Since he came here, he can't really return to his hometown in desperation. He has to find something to do and find a turning point.

Although the future of following the princess is a little worse, it is relatively safer. What's more, in the future, the princess may recommend him to Beijing and get a real job.

Yang Luo thought about it for a few rounds, took a deep breath, and decided to visit the neighbor next door—fortunately, it was not too late, so it was not rude.
