Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 44 Talking

During the day at work, Yang Shuning seemed a little absent-minded and kept thinking about how to deal with Lou Zhenhua, his cheap father-in-law.Not to mention anything else, but he was sure that the banquet tonight was not a good one.

Any father would be angry if he ate his daughter.

First, go back to the courtyard where Lou Xiaoe prepared for a date, and pick up Lou Xiaoe, who is waiting for Yang Shuning here.The two walked out of the courtyard and stopped at the entrance of the alley. Not long after, a car slowly drove over.

The car was specially sent by Lou Zhenhua to pick up Yang Shuning and Lou Xiao'e.

Yang Shuning shook his head secretly.There will be a special period in five years, and it is not a good thing for the Lou family to be so high-profile.

The car carrying the two people stopped at the door of a bungalow.This is the Lou family.

Yang Shuning followed Lou Xiao'e into the bungalow.

As expected of the Lou family, in this era of scarcity, the home was quite luxuriously decorated, giving Yang Shuning the illusion that he was still in the future.

In the living room, a father and son have been waiting for a long time.They are the eldest brothers of Lou Zhenhua and Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing Yang Shuning enter the door, the two stood up and looked Yang Shuning up and down. Lou Zhenhua looked at Ye Guoqiang with a scrutinizing gaze, with a very strong aura.

But Yang Shuning was not afraid.Although Lou Zhenhua's aura is strong, he is not as strong as his father's comrades-in-arms.

Yang Shuning was seen smiling, nodding towards the Lou family and his son, and said:

"Uncle Lou, hello brother Lou."

"This man is not simple!" Lou Zhenhua and his eldest son looked at each other, thoughts flashing through their minds.

"Are you Yang Shuning?" Without giving Yang Shuning a chance to speak, the eldest brother of the Lou family's face sank and asked sternly.

Lou Zhenhua glanced at him in surprise.

The two of them had obviously discussed it, and he pretended to be the red-faced eldest son and pretended to be the white-faced son. Why did he suddenly change his mind when he saw someone?
Lou Zhenhua responded to the situation and quickly smiled enthusiastically: "You must be Yang Shuning. Xiao'e often mentions you to me, and you often help her."

Yang Shuning was not influenced by the eldest brother of the Lou family and took out the gift that she had prepared for a long time. "If you really want to calculate it, Ezi has helped me more. She has paid too much for me. This is just a petty thing and not respectful."

What he gave to the Lou family was some snacks. The Lou family had some that he had, and some that he didn’t have. And he didn’t have time to go too far to buy them, so he only bought some near the unit during the lunch break.

Seeing the gifts, the eldest brother of the Lou family softened his attitude.He was also impulsive just now.As soon as Yang Shuning and Lou Xiao'e entered the door, he remembered that the girl he loved had become Yang Shuning's woman, and he was so angry that he disrupted his plans.

But after all, he is the next generation head of the Lou family, and Lou Zhenhua's upbringing from an early age helped him calm down quickly.What's more, Yang Shuning didn't do anything like patting his butt and leaving after eating and drinking.

"Brother Shu Ning, let's sit down." Lou Xiao'e pulled Yang Shuning to sit down so intimately, and introduced, "Today, my mother specially prepared a table of Tan's food. You must have never eaten it before."

"Then I'm in a good mood today." Yang Shuning nodded with a smile.

People who have watched the show Qin Man Courtyard must know about Tan’s cuisine. He Yuzhu often says that he is the heir of Tan’s cuisine, but not many people have tried it.

Tan's cuisine, one of the country's most famous official dishes, is a family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it was the second-ranked dish in the second year of Tongzhi, it is also called the second-ranked dish.

In ancient times, only high-ranking officials were eligible to enjoy it. Even after entering New China, it was not available to ordinary people.It was precisely because of this that Yang Shuning suspected that He Yuzhu was definitely more than just a third-generation farmhand.People who are from three generations of farm laborers should not have the means to learn this kind of official cuisine.It is estimated that the person who created the file was bribed by He Daqing.

Thinking of Lou's mother, Tan Yali, Yang Shuning smiled helplessly in her heart. She was also a strange woman.

It is clearly mentioned in the TV series that Lou’s mother is a descendant of the Tan family.After returning from the port city, Lou's mother also moved into the courtyard.At that time, He Daqing also returned to the courtyard.He fell in love with Lou's mother who lost her husband, so he personally cooked Tan's dishes to please Lou's mother.

As soon as the dish was served, Lou's mother accurately explained the ingredients and how to make it.He Daqing was shocked and quickly asked Lou's mother's surname.Lou's mother didn't understand, but this dish was a Tan family dish. She asked He Daqing, "You should know my last name."

He Daqing was convinced at that time. He had learned Tan's cuisine for so long, and now he had met the real master.Lou’s mother’s identity is also about to come out.

However, Yang Shuning had seen all this through TV dramas, and Lou Xiao'e's real name had been revealed a long time ago.And it has nothing to do with tonight's banquet. He no longer cares about Lou's mother, and Yang Shuning is ready to concentrate on dealing with the Lou family and his son.

After everyone was seated, Father Lou signaled the kitchen to start serving food.

Soon, several steaming delicious dishes were placed on the table.

"Brother Shu Ning, try this." Lou Xiao'e personally took a chopstick dish to Yang Shu Ning.Lou Zhenhua frowned after looking at it.

Lou Xiao'e is nominally a girl who has not yet left the court, but she is arranging for a married man. If this matter is known to others, will the Lou family lose their face?
but…

Lou Xiao'e has been penetrated by Yang Shuning to the point where she can no longer be penetrated.

Lou Zhenhua could only accept it reluctantly. He couldn't drive his only daughter out of the house. .

He asked about Yang Shuning, and he still knew some basic information, such as the identity of the descendants of heroes and the military doctors of the 301 Hospital.Knowing that Yang Shuning was so outstanding, Lou Zhenhua also felt a little regretful. It would have been better if he had known Yang Shuning earlier.

"Uncle Lou, Brother Lou, I know why you called me here." Yang Shuning didn't like to fight with others, so he planned to show off his cards directly and take the initiative in his own hands.

"What should you have heard? You called me here just to find out what the relationship between me and Lou Xiao'e is?"

"Brother Shu Ning, what are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e was startled and wildly motioned Yang Shu Ning to shut up with her eyes.

Yang Shuning ignored her and hugged Lou Xiao'e directly, kissed her on the forehead and continued:

"You guessed it right, Ezi became my woman last year, and she has gone through everything she needs to go through. It's a pity that I can give her everything, but I can't give her a status."

Seeing Yang Shuning's confident look, the eldest brother of the Lou Lou family was furious.He raised the bowl and wanted to throw it away, but he hesitated to do so out of consideration for the Lou family's face.

Father Lou’s face didn’t look good either.

He was confident that Yang Shuning dared to show his cards.A wealthy family like the Lou family values ​​​​face the most, and they will definitely not publicize it in a big way if something like this happens.The Lou family couldn't control him, so the only thing they could do was to please him.

Sure enough, although Lou Zhenhua looked unhappy, he still said helplessly:

"Then what do you want to do? You can't let my daughter not get married. I have three sons, but I only have one daughter. She is my heart and soul. Since you are her man, you have to find a way."
