Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"What a joke! I'm the queen!"

"Okay, okay, Queen." Lou Xiao'e said as if coaxing a child: "When will the Queen marry here?"

"Hmm?" Qin Jingru didn't quite understand why they were talking about getting married. She gave Qin Huairu a look for help.

Qin Huairu looked at Cao Wei.

"It's this year, I don't know when it will be. I'll have to ask my master to propose marriage later."

"Okay." Lou Xiao'e pondered for a moment, rummaged in her arms, and took out a bracelet: "Here, it's for you."

Qin Jingru looked at the bracelet in shock, and then looked at Lou Xiaoe in shock.

Then he looked at Cao Wei in shock.

So... so rich...

This bracelet looks very valuable, so I just gave it away.

"What? The Queen doesn't dare to answer it?" Lou Xiao'e smiled.

"Who... who said they didn't dare..." Qin Jingru took it up in anger, and then stammered, "I... I will treat you well in the future."

"Pfft." Lou Xiao'e laughed again and couldn't help but pinch her face again.

Qin Jingru frowned, thought about her bracelet, and said seriously: "I haven't married yet. After I marry, you are not allowed to pinch my face."

"Okay, okay." Lou Xiao'e nodded seriously, but the smile in her eyes looked like she was coaxing a child. She turned to Cao Wei and said, "Qin Xiaozhu is too thin. You have to feed him well."

Qin Huairu:......

People from the same family tend to stick together, and both of them have this saying.

"I'm not Qin Xiaozhu!" Qin Jingru frowned. She felt that this concubine did not respect her.

"Okay, no~" Lou Xiao'e let go of Qin Jingru's face: "Okay, I'm leaving."

Lou Xiao'e was a smart person. When Qin Jingru said that she was the "first wife", she made a judgment instantly. It was this girl.

Why? Because this girl is silly, and Cao Wei seems to have laid his cards on her, and she agreed. This is good, and it saves her from having to scheme.

However, it seems a bit regrettable.

Lou Xiao'e sighed in her heart. She was still thinking about whether she could find a reliable opponent. But a piglet showed up?

It seems okay, it's silly and cute.

"How is it?" Xu Damao asked.

"She's a very cute girl." Lou Xiao'e nodded: "I guess they'll get married this year."

"This year?" Xu Damao was stunned for a moment: "Did you like it?"

This is not surprising. In this era, as long as both parties like each other, the marriage process is very fast.

"Well, I think he has taken a fancy to it."

Xu Damao's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about something.

"Don't think about doing those things all the time, do some good deeds." Lou Xiao'e sighed. Seeing Xu Damao's expression, she knew what he wanted to do. He used to torment Sha Zhu often. But Sha Zhu didn't know it.

"Don't worry about it." Xu Damao had his own plans.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Lou Xiao'e flipped through the book in boredom. When Xu Damao was here, life was so boring...

"Lou Xiao'e."

"Ok?"

"You've been acting weird lately." Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e.

"Oh." Lou Xiao'e flipped through the book nonchalantly: "I'm just waiting for you to get your mistress from the countryside pregnant so that she can take my place."

A trace of panic flashed across Xu Damao's face: "You...what nonsense are you talking about."

Lou Xiao'e put down the book and glanced at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, my father was formerly known as Lou Bancheng. If you want to play outside, go ahead and play. When you come back, don't touch me. I find it dirty."

"Stop talking nonsense." Xu Damao's voice became even louder.

"Heh." Lou Xiao'e chuckled, picked up the book in her hand and continued reading.

The house fell into silence.

Silence, silence was like a rope that bound Xu Damao's body, making it gradually cold. The sunlight that entered the house did not bring a single bit of heat. He left without even being able to say "I'm going out for a walk."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's back as he left.

There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, a hint of joy, and finally, a little confusion.

Xu Damao rushed out of the yard.

He walked to the corner of the alley, and only when the sun fell on him did he regain consciousness. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and lit them for himself. He couldn't describe what it felt like. Half of his body was in the sun and half in the dark, with smoke rising. He stood against the wall for a while, then threw away the cigarette in his hand, cursed "Damn it", and then went to the shadows and found a place to squat.

Qin Jingru went out and Qin Huairu followed behind her.

"Can you really go by yourself?"

"Don't worry, sister. I can remember this route. You know, I have been good at remembering routes since I was a child." Qin Jingru was full of confidence.

"If you ask me, what's the point of you going with him?" Qin Huairu frowned: "Go with him to his master's house, just in time to meet him."

"I, I don't want it." Qin Jingru's face was slightly red. "Wait, wait until he calls the matchmaker over, it will be the same if we meet again."

"You, girl, were so brave just now, but now you are scared."

"Sister~" Qin Jingru shook Qin Huairu's hand coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything to you anymore, just go back by yourself."

"Yeah, sister, bye." Qin Jingru waved her hand and skipped away.

Qin Huairu looked at her back as she left, shook her head, and went back to the house as she had other things to deal with at home.

Qin Jingru had just walked a short distance when a man suddenly rushed out from the alley, and the two of them almost bumped into each other accidentally.

Xu Damao dodged and fell to the ground.

"Ah? What's wrong with you?" Qin Jingru hurried over and pulled him up.

Xu Damao waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Eh? You're from this alley, why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm not." Qin Jingru felt a little embarrassed. She thought that she was walking too fast and almost bumped into him.

"Oh, what are you doing here? Oh, don't get me wrong, I see you're just a little girl, I'm afraid something might have happened to you, and besides, you're so pretty."

Qin Jingru: ...

For some reason, she felt a little disgusted with this person.

There is no way. Meeting Xu Damao after meeting Sha Zhu and meeting Xu Damao after meeting Cao Wei are two completely different contrasts.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Hey, don't go." Xu Damao blocked Qin Jingru's way.

"What are you going to do!" Qin Jingru took a step back cautiously: "I'm going to shout."
