She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 32 I am going too
Xu Shu visited the countryside for a few days and came back disgraced. When she heard that Cheng Fei had asked the kitchen to make new food, she was invited to have lunch.

The weather is getting hotter, and Pei Peng has just moved here, so the Princess Mansion in Chengyang County doesn't have the ice from last winter at all.

There is only one merchant selling ice in the entire Chengyang County, and the ice available is not enough to support the Princess Mansion's consumption for half a month.

As for going to other counties to buy ice, the loss would be too great.

In short, in the whole house, the only places that can use ice are Pei Peng, Xu Shu, and Xu Qing, but they use as little as possible.

In order to avoid the heat, Xu Qing gave up his good living conditions and went to the Taoist temple on the mountain.

The others couldn't run and felt too hot, so they could only show their special abilities.

Just like Cheng Fei.

She came from this era, and she did not follow the traditional tradition of opening the way for food - quite simply, she didn't know how to do it, and she didn't feel it was necessary. Her more important goal was to hold people's legs.

But it is no longer necessary, it is also necessary to deal with the gradually hotter weather.

The summer food made in the kitchen is nothing more than ice trays and ice bowls, which are roughly chopped fruits that are chilled and mixed with milk or fruit drinks;
Then there is Leng Tao, who looks pretty and fresh, but Cheng Fei always feels that this is not eating.

After eating a variety of cold dishes in succession, Cheng Fei decided to activate his skill - dictate the recipes and let the cooks make them.

And Xu Shu, as a little sister who had a close relationship with Cheng Fei, became the first person to try.

"Auntie,"

After Xu Shu ate and drank, she complained to Cheng Fei distressedly.

"We originally wanted to help them, but they believed in Feng's instigation even more, thinking that we were forcing them to reclaim wasteland, and all the reclaimed wasteland should be returned to the Princess Mansion.

Even if we said that we would provide free farm tools, wages, and even two years of tax exemption after land reclamation, they didn't believe it. "

This is the first time that Xu Shu has been entrusted with important tasks by A Niang.

And although Pei Peng didn't say anything about what happened this time, Xu Zhao and Yang Luo probably thought that Pei Peng wanted to build their daughter's reputation, so they implicitly took her as the leader.

It is precisely for these reasons that even if Xu Shu encounters difficulties, she cannot ask for help or complain. She can only chat with Cheng Fei for a few words.

Cheng Fei held the fruit and drank it slowly, but did not forget to put a knife in Xu Shu's heart:

"If I were them, I couldn't trust you either."

"why?"

"It's very simple. When they were tenant farmers under the Feng family, they had land to farm, a house to live in, and food to eat. But when they became under the government, they had nothing."

Xu Shu found it difficult to understand:

"How can this be the same? As a sharecropper, life and death are decided by the master's family, and marriage is also decided by the master's family. How can it be compared with a good family?"

Cheng Fei has interacted a lot with craftsmen and slaves these days, and has learned a lot about the world.

The young craftsman who had expressed his dissatisfaction that day had a straightforward personality and a simple mind. He was not in awe of Cheng Fei like the others, and was willing to chat with her instead.

He once said: Although they are craftsmen for generations after entering the official craftsman household, they are still in a better situation than craftsmen outside.

Craftsmen outside also have to serve in the military and work, but because of their craftsmanship, they are often bullied. Once they have made good things, once they are known, it is difficult to preserve them, and the credit does not fall on themselves.

Therefore, they often need to live under the aristocratic family or even a big merchant, and they might as well live in the official craftsman camp.

Not to mention the servants of the princess mansion, for them, even being the lowest-ranking servants in the mansion is better than being a farmer who may be "hidden" at any time.

Cheng Fei advises Xu Shu:

"Actually, this is a bad thing that Magistrate Zhou did with good intentions. He thought it was better to be a free citizen than a tenant farmer, but he didn't think about how to live after they regained their freedom. If Feng's family instigates them again, they naturally don't believe in the government, let alone the government. you guys.

However, the Feng family can manipulate public opinion, and so can you.These farmers think that they can have a house to live in and food to eat in the Feng family, but I don't believe that a family that can even kill its maids at will can be so good to the tenant farmers. Let's publicize it to them.

They are not good, the official government as a comparison is good, and the princess mansion that is willing to pay them to open up wasteland is even better.Right? "

Xu Shu looked at Cheng Fei with admiration.

"Auntie, you have some ideas."

Cheng Fei is proud of herself, fighting public opinion wars, white turning black, black turning white, she has seen a lot.

In fact, the ancients were also very good at playing this trick. To raise their reputation and reputation, weren't they all about public opinion?

It's just that Xu Shu was well protected and hadn't had much contact with these things, while Xu Zhao and Yang Luo...

Cheng Fei thought to himself that it was not unexpected for them, maybe it was just hard to say.

Here Xu Shu was inspired by Cheng Fei, and learned to spend money to ask the help of the county to spread the unspeakable things about Feng's family without a teacher. It seemed natural to wait for the wind to blow to Xiaoli Village. some.

And Pei Peng over there is also busy.

She received a letter from Pei Rong, and also received letters from more people.

Some of them advised her not to get involved in the affairs of the capital.

And some people hoped that she could go back to help them, and even promised to help Pei Peng return to Beijing in the future.

Pei Peng looked through these letters, but he didn't think that those who advised her not to go back were all good intentions. Although they wanted her to go back, although they had the intention of making use of them, there were also some people who offered good conditions, which was considered sincere.

It was Pei Rong's suggestion to her that made her quite flattered.

Pei Rong told her not to go back. This was probably her sincerity. She must have known something, or even taken the initiative, and felt that it would be dangerous for Pei Peng to go back.

As for Pei Peng, of course she has to go back.Her identity meant that even if she was thousands of miles away, she couldn't escape the calculation and involvement, so she might as well go back and see the situation.

So, it's time to prepare the gift.

Also prepare some native products of Taizhou.

I have only been away for a few months, but I wonder if those in the capital have forgotten me?
Always make them think of it.

Xu Shu belatedly found out that A Niang was going back to Beijing.

And she has been busy these days, and sometimes she doesn't go home for several days in a row, and the servants around her seem to have forgotten to tell her about it.

She was surprised and felt aggrieved that so many people wanted to hide it from her. It must be A Niang's order.

Why?

"Auntie, is it dangerous? Is it dangerous to go back?"

"How can it be dangerous to go home? Your uncles and aunts are all in the capital. Even your grandfather's mausoleum is also in the suburbs of Beijing. He slept there for a long time. With him watching, who would grow up in me?" Where is it against me?"

Xu Shu knew that was not the case.

It is because the uncles and aunts are there that it is dangerous there.

But she has grown up and knows that some things are dangerous and she will do them.

"Then I'm going too!"
