The general's wife knows medicine

Liu Qingcheng was stunned when he heard Tang Peipei's words. He looked at Tang Peipei and saw that she was smiling, so he smiled too.

It seems that she has grown up after this incident. If she were the Tang Peipei of the past, she would definitely not say such polite words as thank you to him.

You know, in Tang Peipei's eyes before, he was a useless, hard-working person, and she always looked down on him.

The three of them came to a noodle stall and found a place to sit down.

Just as I was about to order some food, I heard someone calling Tang Peipei's name.

Tang Peipei looked at the carriage parked in front of the stall, and saw a slender hand lifting the curtain. The person who got out was Zeng Xiuyuan, who had just separated from Tang Peipei not long ago.

Tang Peipei stood up.

Zeng Xiuyuan walked forward and bowed to Liu Qingcheng and Tang Yan, then smiled at Tang Peipei and said, "I thought I saw it wrong just now, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Tang Peipei was also very embarrassed at this time. She had just told her friends that she wanted to go home, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed.

"I was supposed to go home, but I forgot about shopping. So my sister said I should eat and buy something before going back."

"That's perfect. I haven't eaten either. Let's join us. Let's eat somewhere else?" Zeng Xiuyuan thought that they were partners and they couldn't have their first meal at this small stall.

Tang Peipei knew that since they had met, they had to have this meal together, so she nodded.

He said to Tang Yan: "Sister, how about we go together?"

At this time, Tang Yan and Liu Qingcheng were both confused. How could this sister who had never left the village meet a man who seemed to be very rich in this town after not seeing him for a whole morning? She was wearing brocade clothes, a jade pendant, and came in a carriage.

"Sister?" Tang Peipei looked at Tang Yan, then at Liu Qingcheng.

Knowing that these two people were probably overthinking it, Tang Peipei resisted the urge to hold his forehead and called out to Tang Yan again.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Tang Yan looked at Tang Peipei in confusion.

"Sister, Brother Zeng said he would treat us to a meal, shall we go?"

"Well, we won't go. You guys go. Your sister and I will wait for you at the city gate later." Liu Qingcheng replied.

This person looks like a person of status, so a commoner like him would not get close to him.

"It's okay, let's go together. You are Peipei's sister and brother-in-law, we should get to know each other." Zeng Xiuyuan said and pointed to the carriage towards Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Let's go. We can't eat wontons today. Brother-in-law, remember to owe me a meal." Then he pulled Tang Yan and followed Zeng Xiuyuan into the carriage.

Liu Qingcheng couldn't just leave his wife alone, so he got on the carriage as well.

A few people came to Taifulou, one of the best restaurants in town, and asked for a private room.

Tang Yan and Liu Qingcheng never thought that they would have the opportunity to have dinner at Taifulou.

There are only two restaurants in this town that do the best business, one is Taifulou and the other is Qingfenglou. But no matter which one it is, you can't get in without several hundred taels of silver.

"Peipei, isn't it too expensive to eat here? Not so good, right?" Tang Yan whispered to Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei patted Tang Yan's hand and comforted her: "It's okay, Brother Zeng is not short of money."

"I haven't asked you how you two know each other yet?" Tang Yan signaled with her eyes that Tang Peipei should tell the truth.

Tang Peipei didn't want to say that she had invested in Zeng Xiuyuan's store, so she just said that she wanted to work for Zeng Xiuyuan and do some chores.

The two sisters were chatting excitedly, but Liu Qingcheng was very restrained. Zeng Xiuyuan saw him like this and asked, "Where does your brother-in-law work in town?"

The call of "brother-in-law" made Liu Qingcheng wave his hands repeatedly. Tang Yan looked at Tang Peipei with a threatening look, and Tang Peipei looked at Tang Yan with a very innocent look, and the meaning was very clear.

Just when Zeng Xiuyuan noticed that the atmosphere was not right, the waiter started serving the dishes, which diverted everyone's attention.

The meal went quite harmoniously, and Tang Yan and Liu Qingcheng got to know Zeng Xiuyuan better after the meal.

Zeng Xiuyuan was very talkative and quickly became familiar with Liu Qingcheng and his wife. He also invited Liu Qingcheng to work directly in the dyeing factory he was planning to open.

After the meal, if Tang Peipei's nervousness of being exposed was not taken into account, both the host and the guests seemed to be having a great time.

After dinner, Tang Peipei met Zeng Xiuyuan alone and asked him not to let the secret slip, saying that she didn't want others to know that they were in a cooperative relationship.

Zeng Xiuyuan originally wanted to accompany Tang Peipei to go shopping, but Tang Peipei was afraid that Tang Yan and her husband would become suspicious, so she didn't let them go.

However, Zeng Xiuyuan still left the carriage to Tang Peipei, saying that he was worried that they would not be able to get it when they returned, after all, Liu Qingcheng was not going back.

Tang Peipei bought ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, two kilograms of fat and lean meat, and five kilograms of lard, and also asked the store to give her some pork ribs.

She also bought some bowls and chopsticks. The bowls and chopsticks in her home were all broken and scratched the corners of her mouth, which Tang Peipei couldn't stand.

She also went to the market and bought a thick quilt, a complete set of bedding, and two sets of clothes for herself and Xiaotuanzi, which cost her a total of thirty-five taels of silver.
