Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Next, Zhou Jin played several games with Lou Bancheng. The two had equal chess skills and won and lost alternately.

Later, Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e also came down, but this time Lou Xiao'e's face was flushed, and no one knew what she had done upstairs.

Zhou Jin hurried forward and asked: "Xiao'e, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red and a little hot?"

As he said that, he reached out and touched Lou Xiao'e's face and forehead.

Lou Xiao'e was startled by Zhou Jin's sudden action, but she reacted quickly and subconsciously tried to dodge, but Zhou Jin's speed was too fast and he still touched her forehead and cheeks.

Lou Xiao'e's heart beat faster and her face flushed. She looked at Zhou Jin nervously, afraid that he would discover her inner panic.

Zhou Jin touched Lou Xiao'e's face and forehead, frowning slightly: "Are you catching a cold? Is it serious?"

Lou Xiao'e's face turned even redder. She felt as if her face was burning hot and her heart was beating wildly.

She didn't want Zhou Jin to notice that she was different, so she tried to stay calm, shook her head gently and said, "Brother Jin, I'm fine. It was a bit stuffy upstairs just now."

Zhou Jin naturally knew that this was just a reason Lou Xiao'e made up, but since she didn't want to say more, forget it.

After all, everyone has their own privacy and secrets, and he doesn't want to force others to share.

When Zhou Jin touched Lou Xiao'e's forehead and face just now, he could tell that Lou Xiao'e was in good health and not sick.

But he didn't expose her. Instead, he smiled gently and asked with concern: "Are you really okay? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

Lou Xiao'e nodded stupidly, secretly glad that Zhou Jin didn't ask any further questions, but also felt warmed by his thoughtful care.

She glanced at Zhou Jin secretly and found that he was looking at her intently, his eyes full of concern.

Lou Xiao'e's heart began to beat again. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look Zhou Jin in the eye again, for fear that her thoughts would be seen through.

Then they sat down in the living room and chatted for a long time. Although they were now a family, there was not much communication and they did not know much about each other.

After chatting for more than an hour, Zhou Jin looked at his watch and saw that it was already past four o'clock. He hurriedly got up and went to the school to pick up Zhou Xin after school.

Today is of special significance to Lou Xiao'e, because on this day, she and Zhou Jin officially received their marriage certificate and became a legal couple.

Now that she is Zhou Xin's sister-in-law, it is natural for her to go with Zhou Jin to pick Zhou Xin up and take her home.

Zhou Jin rode a bicycle and Lou Xiao'e sat on the back seat. The two left Lou's house with laughter and headed towards Hongxing Primary School.

When they arrived at the school, it was time to go home. After waiting for a while, Zhou Xin happily jumped out of the school gate.

As soon as Zhou Xin saw Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e, he ran over immediately.

"Brother, hello sister-in-law!" Zhou Xin shouted happily.

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly hugged Zhou Xin in her arms and gave her a gentle kiss on her pink little face.

"Hello, Xinxin. How about we go to my house for dinner now?" Lou Xiao'e asked gently.

"Great! Brother and sister-in-law, let's go quickly!" Zhou Xin clapped his hands excitedly.

Zhou Jin quickly put Zhou Xin on the crossbar of the bicycle, and then took Lou Xiao'e and Zhou Xin back to the Lou family mansion. Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, full of happiness.

At this moment, Zhou Jin did not notice that when they were happily leaving Red Star Primary School, there was a person in the crowd who was staring at him with calculations in his eyes.

No need to guess, this person is Yan Bugui. He has classes all day today, so he can't leave early.

Just as he walked out of the school gate, he saw Zhou Jin coming to pick up Zhou Xin. There was a very beautiful girl standing next to them. The two seemed particularly close, and it was obvious that their relationship was very unusual.

Yan Bugui immediately felt that this was an opportunity to take advantage, so he quickly quickened his pace and wanted to go up to say hello and see what was going on.

However, things went against his wishes. Before he could call Zhou Jin, he saw Zhou Jin and the other two riding away on a bicycle.

Although he didn't call Zhou Jin, it was not without gain. Yan Bugui still heard Zhou Xin calling the girl sister-in-law.

This means that the girl is either Zhou Jin’s blind date, his girlfriend, or his wife. No matter which the result is, it is definitely big news.

Zhou Jin's marriage is a big event both for Yan Bugui himself and for the entire Siheyuan.

There was no way. Zhou Jin's prestige in the courtyard was too high. Even he, the only manager, was not even one-tenth of Zhou Jin's.

At this time, Yan Bugui suddenly remembered something. Some time ago, Zhou Jin and his sister were also dressed very formally. It was estimated that they were going on a blind date that time.

And he was dressed very formally yesterday, even wearing a Zhongshan suit. Maybe he went to get the marriage certificate.

Yan Bugui began to brainstorm. It must be said that this old man was educated and had a smart mind. He quickly sorted out the details.

He was sure that the last time Zhou Jin dressed formally and took Zhou Xin out, he was going on a blind date with this girl.

As for why he didn't say anything when he returned to the courtyard, this is also easy to explain. At that time, the relationship between Zhou Jin and Yi Zhonghai was like water and fire. Once Yi Zhonghai knew that he had a blind date.

Given Yi Zhonghai's personality, he would definitely find a way to ruin this marriage for him. Therefore, Zhou Jin was so low-key that no one noticed it.

Why did he dare to bring this girl to the school to pick up Zhou Xin openly? It was either because Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady had been shot, or for Zhou Jin, no one could interfere with his relationship now.

Another possibility is that the two of them have already obtained their marriage certificate, and with the protection of the government, they naturally don't have to worry about others causing trouble.

Of these two situations, Yan Bugui felt that the second possibility was more likely. He knew Zhou Jin quite well and was very careful and cautious in doing things.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Now that Zhou Jin is married, he will have to bring his new wife back to the courtyard sooner or later. Then he can set up a few tables in the yard.

Zhou Jin is a cadre and he should not refuse. And considering Zhou Jin's family background, as long as he agrees, the quality of the wedding banquet will definitely not be low, at least there will be meat.

Just do it when you think of it. It's worth a try for the meat.

However, Yan Bugui is not a reckless person. He has to go home and have a good talk with the third aunt. He can't let Zhou Jin hold a grudge against him because of this meal.

Although Yan Bugui wanted to take advantage of Zhou Jin, he was still a little afraid of Zhou Jin in his heart. He vaguely realized that it was Zhou Jin who was behind the accident of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.

After all, the person who could cause Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady to get into trouble at the same time must be someone who knows them, and among those who know them, the only one who has such ability is Zhou Jin.

Therefore, Yan Bugui wanted to enjoy this big meal, but he certainly didn't want to be at the front. He had to find a young man to charge in front.

In this way, if things succeed, since he is the organizer behind the scenes, everyone will definitely remember him well, and his prestige in Siheyuan will grow day by day.

But if I fail, I won't be the first one to suffer Zhou Jin's revenge.

Of course, Zhou Jin was completely unaware of these things.

At this time, he was riding a bicycle, taking his wife and sister to his father-in-law's house for dinner leisurely.

When Zhou Jin and his friends returned to the Lou family mansion, Lou's mother had already prepared the food and was waiting for them to come back for dinner.

On the way, Zhou Jin told Zhou Xin that he and Lou Xiao'e had obtained their marriage certificate, and now Lou Xiao'e was her real sister-in-law.

This made Zhou Xin very happy, so as soon as she got off the car, she immediately stuck to Lou Xiaoe, calling her sister-in-law all the time, and made Lou Xiaoe so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.

Lou Bancheng was very satisfied when he saw his daughter’s happy face, and then he invited everyone to the table to eat.

This was not the first time Zhou Xin had come here to eat, and Lou Bancheng and his mother liked her very much.

Moreover, Zhou Jin used current educational concepts to educate Zhou Xin, which changed Zhou Xin a lot. She is no longer the sensitive and inferior little girl.

Now Zhou Xin is very lively, cute, cheerful, outgoing and very sweet-mouthed. After a while, Lou's mother hugged Zhou Xin and loved her very much.

The family of five had a very happy dinner. After dinner, Lou's mother took Zhou Xin to the study to do homework, while Zhou Jin discussed some details of the wedding banquet with Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e in the living room.

Although it was held at home and no outsiders were invited, all family members were present, but this was Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e's wedding banquet after all, so it naturally could not be sloppy.

The three of them discussed the dishes, ingredients, quantities, etc. for about half an hour.

Finally, it was decided that the wedding banquet would be mainly based on Shandong cuisine, and then Zhou Jin would assist Lou's mother in making a few dishes of the Tan family, making a total of twelve dishes to symbolize Yueyue's happiness.

When talking about Shandong cuisine in the old city, we have to mention Cuihualou and Fengzeyuan. These two restaurants enjoy a high reputation in the Shandong cuisine circle and have rich historical and cultural heritage.

Because Lou Bancheng was familiar with the manager of Fengze Garden, he decided to invite the chef of Fengze Garden to serve as the wedding chef.

Afterwards, Zhou Jin and Lou Bancheng decided on the menu directly.

Scallion-fried sea cucumber, fermented mandarin fish, deep-fried meatballs, stewed mullet egg soup, dry-fried large yellow croaker, nine-turn large intestine, grilled silver thread rolls, crystal pork elbow, grilled steamed buns and crispy chicken.

Add two more Tan family dishes, bird's nest in clear soup and braised shark's fin.

There are twelve dishes in total.

As for ingredients, that is not a problem at all. Not to mention that the Lou family has a stable source of ingredients, they can get all kinds of precious dried goods and seafood, basically anything you can think of.

Even if some ingredients are impossible to get because of the bad environment outside, we still have Zhou Jin's planting space.

There are a lot of good ingredients in it, including poultry, livestock, seafood and river fish.
