Cheng Wenwen was thinking about running away, so she called Mrs. He and asked, "Mother He, how much money have we saved recently?"
Mrs. He had already made the accounts, so she counted them one by one and said to Cheng Wenwen: "Miss, we have earned about thirty-six taels of silver in the past two months, plus the one hundred taels of monthly silver given by the general, and what we have earned in the past two months." Bits and pieces, we probably have a total of one hundred and fifty taels."
One hundred and fifty taels...
Cheng Wenwen felt that this was enough for her to run away.
wrong! Qi Shuo couldn't take the money he gave him, so he only had fifty taels of silver, which was already a huge fortune now.
You can run away.
Cheng Wenwen didn't want to owe the general, so she left ten taels of silver as rent and accommodation for these days!
But where should I go?
If you want to escape, you must first prepare a road guide.
Moreover, she couldn't run away by herself. If she was left alone to protect the cooks and maids like herself, they would be offended.
Cheng Wenwen felt that she had to think of a good way.
When you have to leave by yourself, you can take them with you, or send these people away.
If I could get an excuse to return to the capital, I could take them away together without arousing suspicion.
yes! Come back!
Three days after getting married, it is reasonable to say that you should return home.
However, when she wanted to marry Qi Shuo, she was afraid that Qi Shuo would be generous to her.
Therefore, she had to find a way to keep Qi Shuo from touching her during the three days after the wedding.
Cheng Wenwen has already thought of an idea. Qi Shuo can't just eat meat and vegetables! This idea is feasible.
After thinking of a countermeasure, Cheng Wenwen had a showdown with Qi Shuo on the second day.
Qi Shuo came to eat in his courtyard as always.
Cheng Wenwen started her performance in front of the braised pigeons on her table. Her uncontrollable laughter and sobs attracted the attention of everyone at the table.
Qi Shuo saw her wiping away tears and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Cheng Wenwen quickly wiped away her tears, raised her eyes with red eyes and said, "Don't blame me, General. I feel homesick when I see this dish."
"That's it."
When Qi Shuo heard this reason, he could understand. She was still a teenage girl, and she would naturally feel homesick when she suddenly left home and came so far away.
An ordinary person would usually return home after getting married to his new wife. However, Qi Shuo is a general at the edge of the town and cannot leave here at any time unless he asks for leave from the general.
Just seeing Cheng Wenwen's red eyes and pitiful and cute look, she felt a little soft-hearted for a moment.
"After we get married, I'll find a way to take some time off and come back with you!"
"Ah? The general doesn't have to be like this. I know that the general is too busy to leave the place where he is guarding."
"It's okay. It's okay to leave for a while."
Fortunately, he was not a high-ranking general. As long as he took a leave of absence from his adoptive father and asked someone to accept him for a period of time, he should be able to accompany her back home.
I believe that my adoptive father can also understand the reason for his new marriage.
Cheng Wenwen didn't want Qi Shuo to accompany her at all. Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to accompany her and run away on her own?
"General, why don't I go back home by myself? I can do it myself. I won't bother you to ask for leave for me."
Qi Shuo felt warm in his heart when he heard Cheng Wenwen thinking about him like this. But since she was like this, he couldn't ask her to go back alone. A woman would be laughed at if she went back alone.
"The matter is settled like this. When the time comes, I will go back with you. There are so many bandits on this road, and I don't feel comfortable if you go back alone."
This was Cheng Wenwen's first time talking to Qi Shuo, and Qi Shuo felt a little happy.
Seeing his persistence, Cheng Wenwen had no choice but to agree.
At that time, we can only adapt to circumstances.
…
Cheng Wenwen began to be busy planning her escape, and she also managed less business matters.
She was thinking about where to run to?
Otherwise, go to Yangzhou?
Yangzhou seems to be quite prosperous and peaceful.
Cheng Wenwen thought it was very good, so she began to study ancient maps.
But while she was busy with this, something went wrong again in the business.
Leader Jin hurried over and said: "Miss, those restaurants seem to know our recipes. They have learned our grilled sausages, fried chicken, and Oden cooking!"
"What?"
The supplies in the restaurant are the bulk of their money.
But these restaurants actually know the recipe?
Is this a little strange?
"Have you checked them one by one? How do they taste?"
"The taste is very different from the one in our store!"
"That's it again!"
Once is considered a coincidence, but twice or three times, the secret recipe was leaked in all directions, which is a bit unreasonable, right?
Making this Oden soup base is more troublesome. It stands to reason that it cannot be easily learned by others, right?
Therefore, the problem must be internal.
Cheng Wenwen sighed, why did she start this matter when she was about to leave? You said you should investigate it, which would be a waste of energy, but don't investigate it, and you are afraid of being stabbed in the back.
Who betrayed himself? Or is it an undercover agent bribed by other competitors?
I have a bad headache.
"Leader Jin, please pay more attention to us on weekdays and see who is strange in the store. Mother He, please also pay attention to our courtyard."
Both of them responded in unison: "Yes!"
Cheng Wenwen felt that Mother He was in charge of the formula, and the people in the store didn't know the formula and could only have access to the finished product, so this problem was more likely to occur in the hospital.
Cheng Wenwen specially asked Mother He: "You should pay more attention."
Mr. He also nodded very seriously and said: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely find this person!"
There were not many people in her courtyard, except for He, Pei'er, Xiaolan and Xiaodie, and two cooks.
He's most suspicious of Xiaolan and Xiaodie. After all, they are not their own people, they were sent by Wu Li.
But if it was the two of them who did it, it was Wu Li who instigated it, but why did Wu Li do this? If you hinder their business, you won't get any benefits, right? It will also be exposed.
He couldn't figure it out. Although it was just suspicion, he also suffered from the lack of evidence, so he could only watch Wu Li and the two girls carefully.
At first, he didn't notice anything strange, but in the garden every day, He just walked around the path and saw Wu Li talking to the general.
The general's back was turned, and He couldn't see him clearly. She could only see Wu Li's face.
Although Wu Li lowered her head, in her cautious peripheral vision, she always raised her eyes to glance at the man opposite. There seemed to be a kind of suppressed affection in her eyes.
He looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized that it was actually like this.
This Wu Li actually has such thoughts.
No wonder she hasn't been married for so long and is still taking care of things in the house. It turns out that's the case.
Is that general...
He remembered what she had heard in the kitchen before. It seemed that Wu Li had been with the general since she was a teenager. She was the oldest person in the house and was trusted by the general.
Mrs. He was not sure about this, so she immediately ran back to the courtyard to tell the lady about it.
