Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Cao Xing was also speechless about the two women.

If you haven't accomplished anything, you are worse than an animal. Isn't this forcing yourself to do animalistic things?

But he was just thinking about it.

He has always been passive and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to attack Qin Jingru.

I finally made it to the end of get off work.

Cao Xing just ran away.

He had already instructed Liao Wu to arrange someone to secretly protect his woman.

In addition, more skilled personnel will be deployed to guard the surrounding areas of the courtyard at night.

Cao Xing no longer spent his nights away. He returned to his courtyard early every day to sleep and turned down all social engagements that he could.

Today's drinking party of Lou Zhenhua was the first event he attended in these days.

When he arrived at Lou Zhenhua's home, the family of three had been waiting for a long time.

Lou Xiao'e dressed up carefully and hugged his arm as soon as he entered the door.

"Cao Xing, you are finally here."

This is not the first or second time she has done this. It can be said that she has no aversion to being close to Cao Xing.

"Xiao'e, uncle, aunt, I'm very happy to come to your house."

After all, we are in someone else's home, so the way of addressing them has changed accordingly.

No longer calling so unfamiliarly.

Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "It is a great honor for us to have Xiao Cao here. Welcome!"

Tan Yali also greeted her with a smile: "When Xiao'e heard that you were coming, she was as happy as a flower."

Cao Xing felt Lou Xiao'e's extremely soft body, and his heart was already floating in ecstasy.

Although Lou Xiao'e was not considered a top beauty, Cao Xing, who had spiritual perception, had already noticed her hot body.

This kind of woman is hard to come by!

"Cao Xing, come and eat. My mother will cook for us today."

Cao Xing flattered him: "I heard that my aunt is the heir of Tan's cuisine. I am so lucky to have the meal she cooked today!"

Cao Xing’s cooking skills are also superb, but they are not usually revealed.

However, as Tan Yali is the authentic successor of Tan family cuisine, he is indeed very much looking forward to it.

Tan's cuisine is one of the most famous official Chinese cuisines. It is the family cuisine of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Because he was the runner-up in the imperial examination in the 13th year of the Tongzhi reign, it is also known as "Bangyan cuisine."

It can be said that Tan’s cuisine is the ceiling level among Chinese private cuisine.

From the perspective of Chinese culinary history, Tan’s cuisine is a living fossil, providing the most complete and accurate information for studying Qing Dynasty official cuisine.

The cooking skills inherited by Cao Xing are limited to the eight major cuisines, and there is no private dish like Tan’s cuisine.

Therefore, Cao Xing was quite looking forward to Tan Yali's cooking skills.

After everyone was seated, Lou Zhenhua began to demonstrate his expertise.

He really had great eloquence, and his flattery of Cao Xing was flawless and not superficial.

It can be said that Lou Zhenhua's speaking skills are at full mark level.

"Xiao Cao, you came all the way here to have a meal. I feel really bad for you. I'll drink three cups as punishment."

"Uncle, you are too kind. Young people are just exercising. Besides, the dishes on this table are so delicious that most people would drool at the sight of them. I don't deserve such a treat, Cao Xing."

"Haha, Xiao Cao, you are really modest. Drinking is my strong point, but cooking is your aunt's strong point. You are better at eating and drinking than anything else."

After Cao Xing also finished his glass, he saw that the dishes of the Tan family were indeed exquisite and delicious. It was no exaggeration to say that the cooking skills of Tan's mother were good enough to establish her own school.

"I really can't believe that my aunt has such a skill. It's rare! It's so rare!"

Cao Xing's words came from his heart and were not just flattery.

Lou Xiao'e picked up a piece of meat for him and said with some pride.

"That's right. My mother is the authentic descendant of Tan's cuisine. There are only two or three people in the whole city who can cook this."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Indeed, if my aunt were not in China, she would be able to make a fortune with this skill alone."

The mother and daughter couldn't stop laughing when they heard this.

But Lou Zhenhua knew that there was a hidden meaning in these words.

"Xiao Cao, Xiao'e has been talking about you every day these days, and today is her chance."

He did not ask any further questions, but instead turned the topic to Lou Xiao'e, which meant he wanted to build a good relationship first before talking about other things.

This experience in dealing with people and things is not something that ordinary people can have.

Cao Xing looked at the food, and through his spiritual perception he could already see everything about Lou Xiao'e. It could be said that he had been completely conquered by Lou Xiao'e's figure.

Hearing this, he also smiled and said, "Xiao'e is as beautiful as a fairy. Isn't it a blessing for me to be talked about by such a perfect woman?"

This attitude, which was equivalent to disguised recognition, made the family more enthusiastic.

Lou Xiao'e blushed with shame and ran back to her room.

Cao Xing sighed at this time: "But uncle also knows my personality. I have many women. I am afraid I can't be devoted to Xiao'e."

Lou Zhenhua also sighed: "Ah, Xiao'e also knows, but she values ​​you. As a father, I can't do anything about it. This is a matter for you young people, and it's not convenient for us to interfere."

Cao Xing understood that Lou Zhenhua and Tan Yali lived in the old era, and Lou Zhenhua even had many concubines. However, after liberation, he kept his wife and sent away the other women.

The two of them were obviously able to accept this idea. In their minds, it was normal for capable people to have three wives and four concubines.

This also led to the fact that Lou Xiao'e's ideas were not so stubborn.

In the original novel, if Xu Damao had not insisted on divorcing her, she would not have been so angry even though she had known for a long time that Xu Damao was having an affair outside.

"Uncle, I feel relieved with your words. Don't worry, I will treat Xiao'e well in the future and make her the happiest woman in the world!"

Lou Zhenhua was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately drank three more cups with him.

"As your uncle, I cannot treat you unfairly. So, I have already prepared Xiao'e's dowry. I will let Xiao'e take you to see it tomorrow."

Lou Zhenhua’s dowry is probably extraordinary, and Cao Xing is looking forward to it.

After all, the Lou family was able to develop rapidly in that dark era after moving to Hong Kong, and Lou Zhenhua's ability was one of the reasons.

The second is definitely financial resources!

It would be difficult to achieve success by relying on brain alone without strong financial resources.

"Uncle, it doesn't matter whether there is a dowry or not. I, Cao Xing, don't need it. Since Xiao'e is my woman, I will naturally arrange everything for her."

Lou Zhenhua was even happier when he heard this.

"It seems like you have already made up your mind."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Well, as for Xiao'e, I plan to let him study abroad."

"Study abroad?"

"Haha, it's too early to talk about this, uncle. You asked me to come here not just to recognize my relatives, right?"

Lou Zhenhua glanced at Tan's mother, who immediately put down her chopsticks and said apologetically, "Xiao Cao, you guys eat. I'll go boil some water and make some tea for you."

After saying that, he hurried away, closing the door as he left.

Lou Zhenhua waited until the door was closed before speaking seriously.

"Xiao Cao, I feel like the wind is blowing in the wrong direction lately. There's a faint sense of impending storm."

Cao Xing held the wine glass and poured the wine, and stopped only when the glass was full.

With a dazed look in his eyes, he said, "The water is overflowing, uncle, it's time to withdraw."
