Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

"General? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing Qi Shuo staring at her like this, Cheng Wenwen touched her face strangely.

"It's stained with a drop of oil." Qi Shuo replied to her, then picked up his sleeve to wipe her face.

Cheng Wenwen quickly dodged this ambiguous thing, wiped her face and said, "I'll do it myself."

Qi Shuo withdrew his gaze. He knew that even if he really wanted to keep the beauty of this moment, he couldn't show it too much, otherwise he would only push her further away.

"My eldest brother said he wants to treat us to a meal. Do you want to go?"

When Qi Shuo was leaving the Duke's Mansion, he was stopped by Xie Shilian's servant. Xie Shilian said that he was not entertained well today, so he planned to hold a banquet in the restaurant in two days and wanted to invite Qi Shuo and his wife to join him.

Although Qi Shuo was not very close to other people in the Duke's Mansion, since Xie Shilian said that she was devoted to him, he could not refuse and agreed.

He had not originally wanted to invite Cheng Wenwen to go with him, after all, she was determined to separate and he was not on the same page, but now he had changed his mind.

Sometimes people have to follow their hearts to live a smoother life. He finally met someone he likes and didn't want to give up so easily.

When Cheng Wenwen heard this, she was puzzled: "The general's elder brother is..."

Cheng Wenwen knew that Qi Shuo was an orphan, and that he and his subordinates in the army occasionally treated each other as brothers, so she didn't know who his elder brother in the capital was.

Qi Shuo explained, "He is my adoptive father, Duke Ying's eldest son, Xie Shilian."

"I understand." Cheng Wenwen nodded.

"Then do you want to go?" Qi Shuo looked at her straight.

Cheng Wenwen felt a little embarrassed. They were about to separate, so it would be inappropriate for her to go meet Qi Shuo's elder brother, right?

Qi Shuo saw her dilemma and continued, "My eldest brother rarely comes back to the capital, and he specially held a banquet to celebrate our wedding. I don't want him to worry about me, so..."

Cheng Wenwen looked at Qi Shuo. Since he had said so much, she had no choice but to agree.

"Then I will go with the general!"

"Thank you."

The corners of Qi Shuo's mouth rose slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.

"General, you don't need to thank me. This is nothing compared to the fact that you set me free."

Cheng Wenwen raised her wine glass and said to Qi Shuo, "I offer a glass of wine to the general."

When Qi Shuo heard his words, the smile he had just had disappeared instantly. He didn't want to drink her toast and said, "I have something else to do tomorrow, so I won't drink."

Cheng Wenwen said: "This wine is not intoxicating, but it's okay, I'll drink it! General, please do as you please!"

Cheng Wenwen drank up the wine in the glass in one gulp. This low-alcohol fruit wine was not intoxicating at all, but her face would become hot and red if she drank a few more glasses.

Qi Shuo looked at her slightly red ears and wanted to pinch them, but he had to hold back.

When I'm with her, my mood is always up and down. I might be unhappy just now, but as long as I look at her a few times, my anger will disappear.

Qi Shuo sighed, there was really nothing he could do.

Mother He, who was standing by, was a discerning person. When she saw the way Qi Shuo looked at Cheng Wenwen, she knew that Qi Shuo had her own young lady in his heart. Unfortunately, her own young lady was so stubborn that no matter what she said, she couldn't make it work.

But Mother He has not given up and wants to try again.

……

Two days later, the day of Xie Shilian's banquet arrived. Qi Shuo informed Cheng Wenwen the day before and asked her to get up early the next day.

Cheng Wenwen felt that she couldn't lose face for Qi Shuo, so she dressed herself up.

Mother He specially combed Cheng Wenwen's hair into a beautiful bun, put on nice makeup for her, and chose a bright dress to match. She looked much more elegant and dignified.

Mother He looked at her masterpiece, hurried to open the door, and said to Qi Shuo outside: "General, the young lady is ready to dress up."

Qi Shuo walked in, and when he saw Cheng Wenwen dressed so elegantly, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Cheng Wenwen usually dresses simply and casually, which has a simple and elegant beauty. But after dressing up now, she looks more dignified and beautiful, and seems a lot more stable.

"General, does the young lady look good dressed like this?" Mother He asked with a smile.

Qi Shuo's burning eyes had already revealed his answer. Cheng Wenwen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

Qi Shuo said in a low voice: "It looks very good."

He noticed Cheng Wenwen's discomfort, and immediately retracted his gaze and said to Cheng Wenwen, "Let's go!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded and followed him out.

Cheng Wenwen dressed like this and walked with Qi Shuo, they immediately attracted a lot of people's attention when they went out. The first to be surprised were the servants in the Cheng mansion.

"Is this still the Fourth Miss? She looks so different."

"The fourth young lady is so pretty!"

"Young Miss and Young Master Fourth look even better together!"

Cheng Wenwen walked out of the house staring at such passionate gazes, feeling extremely stressed.

"Fourth sister?" The first person Cheng Jinxiu saw was Qi Shuo, but the moment she saw Cheng Wenwen, she suddenly became displeased.

She always felt that Cheng Wenwen was not as good as herself and was not as beautifully dressed as herself, but today Cheng Wenwen looked really eye-catching.

"Why is Fourth Sister dressed so solemnly?"

Cheng Wenwen answered truthfully: "Go meet the general's relatives."

"I see……"

Cheng Jinxiu suddenly felt even more unbalanced.

Qi Shuo is an orphan, and the only relatives he has are those people in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.

My father worked under the second master of the Duke of England's mansion, and he never invited them to visit or anything like that! Cheng Wenwen went!

"Second sister, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first!"

Cheng Wenwen was about to leave with Qi Shuo, when Cheng Jinxiu suddenly said, "Fourth sister, can you take me with you? I am your sister after all, so I can go with you."

Cheng Wenwen looked at Cheng Jinxiu. Although she also felt a little embarrassed to meet Brother Qi Shuo, she and Cheng Jinxiu had never been very close. Her change of attitude towards her today was obviously problematic.

Just when Cheng Wenwen was about to reject Cheng Jinxiu, Qi Shuo beside her suddenly spoke up.

"Second Miss, it's not convenient for us!"

After saying that, Qi Shuo pulled Cheng Wenwen's arm and turned away, not giving Cheng Jinxiu any time to react.

Cheng Jinxiu was so angry that she was about to explode!

This Qi Shuo actually doesn't give me face!

It seems that there is no hope for me to become his general's wife!

Cheng Jinxiu felt very unbalanced. Why did Cheng Wenwen get such a good husband?

……

The carriage moved slowly and finally stopped outside Zuixiao Tower.

"So the general's eldest brother is hosting a banquet here!"

Qi Shuo said: "This is the property of my stepmother, Madam Xie!"

Of course Cheng Wenwen knew that this was the Xie family's property, but she had been treated favorably by the owner here because she sold the wine recipe. Was this owner Mrs. Xie?

Mrs. Xie treated me favorably just because I had the recipe? It didn't make sense, did it? These wealthy families had so many businesses, how could they possibly take care of the affairs of a restaurant?

Cheng Wenwen felt a little confused. Could it be that Mrs. Xie valued her for some reason?

As soon as Cheng Wenwen entered the building, the waiter came to greet her enthusiastically: "Miss Cheng, you are here again? Please come up quickly."

The waiter's attitude was that he wanted to take her to open a new private room as a reflex.

Cheng Wenwen quickly refused: "We are here to keep a date!"

"Oh, look at me!" The waiter patted his head and asked, "Whose appointment is Miss Cheng going to have? I'll take you there right away!"

Cheng Wenwen looked at Qi Shuo.
