She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 6 Cheng Sanniang

"Yang Luo? You said you are Yang Luo?! Are you from the Yang family in Haizhou?"

In Yang Luo's view, the Cheng family next door was just a farmer, not even a commoner, and they probably didn't care much about etiquette. He didn't even hand over the post, picked a few local products he brought, and went straight to it. Came to visit.

Unexpectedly, the first step got stuck.

Cheng Sanniang, the Cheng family member who had promised to go to Princess Chengyang to seek promotion opportunities, exclaimed when she heard his name.

Yang Luo hesitated, but still nodded:
"Yes, I am indeed from Haizhou, but..."

"That's it,"

Cheng Sanniang looked at Yang Luo from head to toe, and then from foot to head with bright eyes. Her mother-in-law pinched her a few times before she stopped. Then she leaned into her father's ear and whispered:
"Father, I've heard of him before, he is a talented person, let's recommend him to my cousin."

After hearing what his daughter said, Cheng Erli murmured in his heart that he, a person who often goes outside, had never heard of the new neighbor who moved next door. How did his daughter hear about it?
But in front of guests, especially a young man who seemed to have a good family background at first glance, he did not pursue his daughter, but warmly invited Yang Luo to sit down and drink tea.

Yang Luo drank a cup of hot tea, and the Cheng family didn't take the initiative to ask him why he came.

Cheng Erli was not a very sociable person, so he could only introduce to Yang Luo the temperament of the nearby neighbors and the location of the market.

As for Cheng Sanniang, she was a good at enlivening the atmosphere, but she asked some questions that Yang Luo couldn't resist, and even some impolite personal situations.

Yang Luo felt that just based on Cheng Sanniang's upbringing, this family might not be very smart.

And if such an unintelligent mother clan can speak well to Princess Chengyang, it means that she is not very smart either; if she cannot speak well, then it will not be of much use to ask the Cheng family for a recommendation.

Yang Luo was about to retire, and began to doubt the decision he made in a flash of his head.

But the soft nails he met with his uncle did make him embarrassed. Thinking of the expectations of his parents and the future of his brothers and nephews, he still calmed down and thought about trying his luck.

Cheng Sanniang was full of enthusiasm and was quite excited to witness a legendary figure. Then she caught Yang Luo and asked him many questions, but she was not really stupid and soon noticed the other party's indifference.

This is not very successful...

She decisively changed the topic:

"Mr. Yang came to Beijing to study? Or to seek a job?"

The topic finally got on the right track, Yang Luo heaved a sigh of relief, and replied:

"I want to find a career, but after hearing what an uncle said today, I seem to be in a bit of trouble."

Cheng Erli has been helping his niece take care of some chores since she left the palace and opened her mansion. He has gained a little more knowledge and can talk a few words. At this time, he should agree:

"Indeed, in the past few years, the various government offices still recruited for exams, but they have not opened them for the past two years. If you want to become an official, it is best to find a noble person to serve."

Yang Luo smiled wryly:

"I'm just from a remote family. I have no reputation and no connections. Who can I serve? I'm ashamed to say, Uncle Cheng, I came to visit rashly today because I heard that Princess Chengyang is related to your family." , I wonder if you can recommend one or two?"

Cheng Erli stopped talking.

His family is what it is today, all thanks to the birth of a mother-in-law and a princess. This family can scratch food from the soil and become a resident of the imperial capital. He will not take matters into his own hands and ruin the relationship with his niece. What about affection.

However, Cheng Sanniang knew Yang Luo's potential and wanted to achieve the harmony between the king and his ministers recorded in the history books as soon as possible, so she quickly answered:

"Yes, yes, my cousin has always loved talent, so she must be."

"Sanniang!"

Cheng Erli scolded his daughter and said to Yang Luo:
"Her youngest daughter is Jiajia, who can't speak well. Mr. Yang forgive me. Your Highness is busy packing up, and I may not see you for a long time. What's more, Mr. Yang is such a talented person, how can he lack opportunities? There are emperors in Beijing, and there are also others Lords and lords, Your Highness is just a princess who is about to leave Beijing, so I'm afraid I can't help you find a job."

Yang Luo heard Cheng Erli's resistance because he was afraid that he would use Princess Chengyang as a stepping stone and then find another career after using her.

Although he did think so, he was still planning to follow the princess for a while, with long experience.

So Yang Luo replied with some righteousness:

"Uncle Cheng speaks from the bottom of his heart, so I will tell you the truth. Since I came to visit, I am not expecting the princess to introduce me to anything. I am just thinking that His Highness is leaving Beijing and there may be someone who needs help. Although I don't Talented, after all, I have been enlightened since childhood, so I can always help with writing documents and running errands."

Cheng Sanniang nodded again and again, this was also her heartfelt voice:

Although her ability is limited, she has also read books, can write and calculate, and has some "vision" that others don't have, which is always useful.

Cheng Erli hesitated. He felt that what Yang Luo said was very sincere, not to mention that the final decision was made by his niece. He was just an introduction, so it should be fine.

Yang Luo struck while the iron was hot and heard that Princess Chengyang was leaving Beijing soon, so he implicitly urged Cheng Erli to report the situation.

Cheng Sanniang also wanted to take the opportunity to settle her own affairs, beating and drumming from the sidelines.

Cheng Erli and his niece are still close. Although it is late in the afternoon, it is not a good time to be a guest, but if you really want to visit, it is still possible.

So, Pei Peng welcomed the visitors.

……

Xu Qing was angry and panicked all night, and worried that he would really be driven away, so he didn't sleep well.

But when he woke up, he heard that his wife was going to bring his nephew with him, and felt that it was Pei Peng's concession, he was relieved, and hurried to the main courtyard to inquire about the situation.

Xu Shu was also there, helping her mother sort out the books.

Since Pei Peng stopped having children, he deliberately brought his daughter into contact with the big and small things in the house, hoping to pass on to her what he had in his hands.

When Xu Qing came, the mother and daughter changed the subject. The family of three maintained a harmonious appearance, had lunch and enjoyed flowers in the garden, and then heard the report of the Cheng family's visit.

Out of habit, Xu Qing, like most of the aristocratic families, despised the vulgarity of the Cheng family.

When he heard that the Cheng family was coming, he felt that he had been lying down for long enough today, so he thought it was natural to find an excuse to leave.

Xu Shu couldn't help but be amused: her father, in a sense, is so innocent that people pity her.

So is this the reason why her mother-in-law tolerates it till now?
A husband with a clear and transparent mind seems to be in better control.

……

Yang Luo followed Cheng Erli, not squinting his eyes, and moving forward with his back tensed. In front of him was Cheng Sanniang, who was looking around curiously.The contrast between the two people was so sharp that the servant who led the way noticed it and quickly comforted:

"Your Majesty, don't be restrained, our princess has a very good temperament."

Yang Luo also felt that he was a bit ashamed, so he took a few deep breaths, followed by a few winding paths, passed the long corridor, and was finally brought to the waterside pavilion in the garden.

From a distance, Yang Luo noticed a group of maids and servants surrounded by the pavilion, and there were two women sitting in the middle. He guessed the identities of the two after comparing the information he got at home.

There is another piece of news from the family, which is that Princess Chengyang has a beautiful face and forgets the world after seeing her.

Yang Luo always thought that it was just the exaggerated flattery of the merchants who had little knowledge.

until……

He met a pair of eyes——

Those are a pair of eyes that have seen the world, quiet, but not extinguished by the dancing candle.Therefore, there was a trace of freshness in the silence, as well as the power that she had unconsciously acquired from playing in the center of power for a long time. With this look, she looked over slightly.
