Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo had a relatively harmonious lunch together.

Seeing that Qi Shuo's attitude was okay, Cheng Wenwen decided to discuss the divorce with him.

I haven't settled down yet, and I'm still halfway through this journey, so it will take some time. I feel a little awkward if I have to leave in a short time.

"General, why don't we talk about the separation after I return to Beijing?"

After this incident, she also felt that it was difficult for a woman to live alone outside, and she was afraid that she would have no one to take care of her if something happened. She was also relatively familiar with the capital, and although she had her second uncle's family there, if she divorced, she could buy a house and live there alone.

After all, it was up to her to remarry! She was less restricted by her family, and she had some acquaintances in the capital, so she could ask them for help when she encountered problems.

When Qi Shuo heard her say the words "union" and "separation", his brows instantly frowned!

"I am sorry for this matter, General. I owe you a favor. If I can help you in the future, please feel free to ask, although I may not be able to do anything."

Cheng Wenwen said reluctantly.

Qi Shuo said 'hmm': "Let's do it! We are halfway there after all, and I have some things to do in the capital."

"Thank you very much, General!"

After hearing Qi Shuo's words of assurance, Cheng Wenwen felt much more relieved, so she went out happily.

Qi Shuo looked at her receding back and felt a little unwilling in his heart. He was actually despised by a little girl!

They stayed for two days along the way and then continued on their journey.

Along the way, Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo rode in separate carriages and stayed in two separate rooms. Anyone with a discerning eye could notice that something was wrong between the two. Normally, newlyweds would be very affectionate to each other, so why did they suddenly become so distant?

Song Jiang suddenly remembered what the general had asked him that day, and thought about persuading the general.

"General, my wife is still young, you have to bear with her."

Qi Shuo raised his eyes and glared at Song Jiang, then said angrily, "I've already taken enough responsibility."

Song Jiang had never seen the general so angry. It was obvious that his wife was really angry. If the master was not happy, the servant would suffer. Song Jiang continued to persuade him: "Women need to be coaxed. General, you should coax your wife more!"

"coax?"

Qi Shuo sneered. If Cheng Wenwen was just angry, he could coax her, but she was not angry at all, but wanted to escape from him. How could he coax her? Should he beg her not to leave?

Qi Shuo rarely loses face like this!

"General, as a man, you need to coax women more!"

"do not talk!"

Qi Shuo felt bored.

Now that I have promised Cheng Wenwen, how can I go back on my word?

After all, I don't need her, so if we want to separate, then let's separate!

Qi Shuo didn't care and didn't communicate much with Cheng Wenwen along the way.

Cheng Wenwen probably knew that Qi Shuo was unhappy with her, so she didn't go to join in the fun. Everyone went their own way, and in this way, they reached the capital in less than half a month.

……

Chengfu.

The entire Cheng family also received a letter from Shanzhou, saying that Cheng Wenwen had returned with her husband.

The Cheng family was also somewhat incredulous.

Madam Cheng was puzzled: "Isn't it said that the general has a violent temper? Why did he follow Wenwen back home?"

Miss Cheng, Cheng Jinxiu, smiled and said, "Perhaps Fourth Sister has bewitched the general. They are newlyweds, so naturally he agrees to whatever she says!"

Madam Cheng snorted, "No matter how much you take care of her, she is just an old general in a border town. She doesn't come from a good family and she won't be able to make it big no matter how hard she tries."

Cheng Jinxiu nodded: "That's right! Fortunately, you acted quickly and asked my cousin to get engaged to me. Otherwise, I would be the one who would suffer if I married that old general!"

Master Cheng Er walked in and heard his wife and daughter making up stories. He said dissatisfiedly, "Don't say these things, lest the fourth lady's husband comes and hears them. He is the adopted son of the Duke! The Duke values ​​him very much, don't offend him!"

Madam Cheng said impatiently, "I know, I know!"

The women in the second house had their own thoughts and didn't care much about Cheng Wenwen's return. Only the old lady Zhang from the main house cared very much about it.

"Aying, go and prepare more food that the fourth girl likes. According to the date, they should be here in the next two days."

Ying's mother came forward and said, "Madam, we have already prepared it."

The old lady sighed, "I didn't feel anything when Wenwen was around before, but now that she's married, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. I should have tried my best to stop her from marrying out, but it was useless."

Ying's mother comforted her and said, "Old lady, this is not your fault. There is nothing you can do about it!"

Now that the second master is in charge, giving up a daughter is not a big deal compared to the family's future. The old lady is also powerless. Her biological son died, leaving only a granddaughter. She naturally wants to help, but what can she do? After all, the man is the master of this family.

If their own son, the dead girl's father, were still alive, why would they have to watch her so aggrieved?

Blame it on what happened back then...

It’s also their own fault for making that choice, the old lady sighed.

……

Cheng Wenwen has lived in the Cheng Mansion for such a long time that she roughly knows what these relatives are thinking, but she doesn't care. After all, she wants to be independent in the future and doesn't want to be controlled by them anymore.

The carriage slowly drove into the capital, and the city was still as prosperous as ever.

Song Jiang lifted the curtain with curiosity and became very interested in the capital.

"General, I haven't been to the capital yet!"

Qi Shuo's expression was indifferent.

A group of people slowly drove to Cheng Mansion and stopped.

Cheng Wenwen brought Qi Shuo in, and the servants also knew the arrangement, so they said to Cheng Wenwen: "Fourth Miss, you and your son-in-law will still live in your courtyard."

Cheng Wenwen nodded, then looked at Qi Shuo. After all, it was his first time here and he was not familiar with the place, so she slowed down a little and waited for him to come along.

The two of them standing together are extremely well matched.

Along the way, the servants looked at the two of them and murmured in private.

"Is that the fourth uncle? Wasn't he said to be an old and ugly general? How come he is so tall and handsome?"

"He looks very dignified, much better than many of the playboys in the capital who live a life of debauchery!"

"The rumors must be false! Miss Fourth is a fool with luck. She really found a good husband."

"..."

The servants in the mansion hurried to report to their master. Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo had just entered the yard to rest for a while when someone came to notify them.

"Miss Fourth, Uncle Fourth, the Second Master has prepared a banquet in the main hall and is waiting for you and Uncle Fourth to come!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Got it!"

After saying that, she looked at Qi Shuo who was sitting on the chair.

Qi Shuo also stood up and said calmly, "Let's go!"

Cheng Wenwen followed him, and the two went to the main hall together.

……

In the main hall, the Cheng family members were already seated, waiting for Cheng Wenwen and Qi Shuo to arrive.

What they were most curious about was Qi Shuo. They wanted to know if he was as bad as the rumors said.

When they heard the sound of someone coming in, everyone in the house looked outside and saw Cheng Wenwen walk in first. She was still dressed simply, but her face was white and tender, her eyes were dark and smart, and she looked good no matter how simply she was dressed.

Seeing Cheng Wenwen like this, Cheng Jinxiu felt unhappy. How come she didn't get tortured after going to the cold and bitter borderland, but instead became more beautiful?

But what's the point of being pretty? You're still married to an old man! From now on, we can only chat and get by.

Thinking so, Cheng Jinxiu looked eagerly behind Cheng Wenwen, and saw a tall figure coming in.

It was sunset at this moment, and the light outside the door seemed to follow the man and was brought into the room by him, which was a bit embarrassing to watch.

Everyone who saw this was shocked.

This, this, this...is this the old and ugly general?

The fourth lady’s husband?
