She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 54 Handle
When Xu Qing returned to Beijing, he was as at ease as a fish in water. He loved all pleasures and all beautiful things. Which city had a new Chu Guan opened, which house had just built a garden, and who wrote it? New calligraphy and new paintings were created, and he ran around happily.

After Pei Peng persuaded Pei Wei, Xu Qing became the guest of many people, sometimes he was sent back drunk, sometimes he simply stayed outside.

There are too many people coming and going, and the sources of information are also mixed. He is indifferent to everything and can't analyze the inner intentions at all. But when he returns to the house occasionally, he is afraid that Pei Peng will scold him, so he will casually bring out a few things outside to tell Pei Peng.

One day, he just came back from the Wang family - this Wang family is not the Wang family where Wang Shu belongs, but a branch of the Wang family in Liangzhou in Jingzhao, which can be regarded as operating for hundreds of years.

It's a pity that there is no room for two kings in one capital. With Wang Yin, a celebrity who has been on the bottom line of public tolerance for decades, and Wang Shu, a princess, the king of Liangzhou has become a mosquito blood who has never had a cinnabar mole from beginning to end. .

So, in a lonely corner where no one pays attention, the Wang family of Liangzhou distorted his skills a little bit——

On the one hand, the focus is on training daughters. If you can't be a princess, you can't be a side concubine, you can't marry a direct branch to marry a side branch, and you follow the down-to-earth route of the side concubine surrounding the princess and the side branch surrounding the direct branch.

On the other hand, beauties are collected and cultivated according to the routes of fashion trendsetters, talented literary and artistic talents, gentle and small-minded interpreters, etc., as a tool for connecting relationships.

Xu Qing was also within the range of wooing.

Although he himself did not become an official and had little political influence, the Xu family was still active back then, and Pei Peng was also powerful. The Wang family felt that Xu Qing was a broker between the two parties, or a matchmaker.

Later, when the Xu family left Beijing, Pei Peng avoided him, which made the Wang family less enthusiastic about him, but after Xu Qing returned to Beijing, he was still invited to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days.

Xu Qing wanted to hunt for beauty, but the Wang family didn't want to get dirty with Pei Peng, they only entertained him to drink, dance and listen to music, and invited a group of people to liven up the atmosphere, among them was Shao Fan, the nephew of the commander of the imperial army.

Xu Qing took this as an interesting story:
"Shao Cangman's nephew, he really looks like him, even more like Shao Gufeng."

Pei Peng patted his arm:
"Don't yell, Commander Shao has changed his name."

"What's more, I remember that his elder brother has only one son, and he's not called this. As for the other nephews from his hometown who came to join him, they probably won't be taken seriously by the Wang family. Where did this Shao Fan come from?"

Xu Qing was able to speak clearly about the genealogy of the aristocratic family, but he didn't know the family situation of a commander of the imperial army. At most, he thought the other party's name was interesting and wrote it down.

"But he said he was the son of Brother Shao Cangman. Oh, by the way, I heard someone else mention that after his parents divorced, he had been living with his stepfather and mother, and even his surname was secretly changed. He was recently recovered by the Shao family Come, then change it back."

Pei Peng pondered, always felt that this was a bit weird, she asked:

"Did the Wang family invite him here? Or who brought him there."

"The Wang family probably invited him here. I don't think he is familiar with other people, so I chatted with him for a while."

Xu Qing went on his way after drinking. After he came back, he talked for a while. Seeing that he was getting sleepy, Pei Peng didn't ask any more questions. She couldn't ask any more questions. She pushed Xu Qing to prevent him from falling asleep:

"Go back and rest. By the way, next time you meet Shao Fan, you can pay more attention to him. Commander Shao has been very effective in guarding the palace over the years, and he was also someone who was used by my father. As a son and daughter, I must always bear the responsibility. Love. I can’t help you much, but I can still take care of his nephew for him.”

Xu Qing put his hands on his forehead and nodded slightly. He didn't have a bad impression of Shao Fan, so he didn't find it difficult.

After Xu Qing went down, Pei Peng had time to think carefully about the Shao family's nephew who appeared suddenly, and the subtleties of Shao Fan's life experience.

Shao Fan and Shao Cangman looked alike, and Shao Cangman and Shao Gufeng were brothers from the same mother. It was normal for nephews to resemble uncles, so he must be a descendant of the Shao family.

But as far as Pei Peng knew, the descendants of the next generation of the Shao family were not abundant. Shao Gufeng had only one son, who was sick and crooked. The 13-year-old boy didn't come out often.

Shao Cangman is even older but has no children——

Pei Peng remembered that when he was appointed as the commander of the imperial army a few years ago, he neither had a banquet for the guests nor offered sacrifices to the ancestors at the first time. Instead, he asked for an imperial physician.

This was once the biggest topic in Beijing that year.

Although the imperial doctor came out and said that Shao Cangman was in good health, it was Mrs. Shao's difficulty in conceiving the baby.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Shao Cangman's concubines are not pregnant either.

Under such a premise, the Shao family allowed a healthy child to be taken away by another family for more than ten years without even knowing about the change of surname, which shows their alienation.

Pei Peng didn't believe that they didn't want it.

That is, there is a reason to be caught.

At this time, Pei Peng didn't feel that this matter had anything to do with the safety of the palace. She just felt that if she could investigate this matter clearly and wait for it to be used in the future, it would not be a disadvantage.

Pei Peng asked people to inquire along the road along the Shao family's hometown, focusing on inquiring about Shao Gufeng's reconciliation and the situation of Shao Fan's stepfather's family.

She handed over the matter without worrying too much. She checked Jingzhong Industry's account books and beat up several shopkeepers and managers, but she missed her daughter a little.

When she first arrived in the capital, she wrote a letter and sent it back quickly.

The day before Xu Shu received the letter, she was informed that the Hu people were going south, but at that time Chengyang County did not even report to Fucheng. Inform Pei Peng.

Even the messenger was urged by her to leave the city gate early the next day.

So Pei Peng didn't know about it.

It's just that it may be that the mother and daughter are connected, or it may be that the mother and daughter have not been separated for so long, Pei Peng always feels a little worried about her daughter.

At this time, she only hoped that Pei Wei's marriage would be completed as soon as possible, so that she could return to Chengyang County earlier.

Pei Peng is a bit like a prophecy. Pei Wei's marriage, the new emperor's first big wedding, was really brought forward in a rare way.

And this has something to do with Pei Peng.
