Lu Wang's natal family is the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Taiyuan Wang family is also one of the Nine Surnames and Thirteen Hopes.

Gu Cui's natal family is Cui family of Qinghe, her maiden name is Cui Youyun, and she is Cui Yourong's sister.

Zhang Lu's maiden family is Fan Yanglu, and she is also Zhang Lingxiao's aunt.

Zhang Lingxiao is the legitimate eldest son of the Zhang family. Because his biological mother died early and his father ran away from home, Zhang Yizhen, his aunt, has been taking care of him since he was a child. Since Zhang Yizhen married outside, the responsibility of taking care of Zhang Lingxiao fell on Zhang Lu.

On an aunt.

Now that Zhang Lingxiao has grown up, it is naturally Zhang Lu's responsibility to find a suitable marriage partner.

Amidst the laughter of orioles, a maid came to report: "Madam, Miss Gu is back."

After hearing this, all the ladies stood up and said with a smile: "Xian Ting is back."

They are all members of the Boudoir Chef Academy. Now that the president, Gu Xianting, is back, they will naturally go and register to learn cooking skills.

The maid said again: "Miss Gu didn't come this way, and she brought a young master with her."

"Bring a young master?"

All the ladies looked puzzled when they heard this. In their impression, there was never a man around Xianting, all because there was no young man worthy of standing by her side.

In their hearts, Xianting is not an ordinary lady, but a noble daughter of heaven.

Mrs. Lu suddenly asked: "Is it Wen Lin?"

The maid shook her head: "It's not Mr. Lu."

Mrs. Zhang said happily: "It's Ling Xiao!"

The maid reminded: "I know both Master Lu and Master Zhang, but I don't know this Master."

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang immediately frowned upon hearing this. Mrs. Gu chuckled and said, "I'm curious about what kind of young master can be so favored by the Immortal Court." Her implication was that we should go over and take a look.

Mrs. Lu heard the coldness in Mrs. Gu's voice. She always acted steadily and said, "Could he be a relative of Xianting, a cousin or something?"

Mrs. Gu looked at Mrs. Lu gently and asked, "What if it's not?"

Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "Then let him know what the outcome will be if he steals someone and seizes the head of the four nobles in Wuzhong."

Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice to the maid beside her: "Tao'er, ask the second young master to go to the ancient pear courtyard."

At this moment, Lu Wuyuan was being punished by him to work as a donkey grinding rice in the kitchen.

After the maid took the order and left, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Lu said: "We are all wealthy ladies, so naturally we cannot see the same thing as a kid. But the kid needs Zhong Kui to treat him."

Mrs. Gu smiled after hearing this: "I didn't expect that Wu Yuan, the devil in the world, would also come in handy."

Mrs. Lu said helplessly: "Mrs. Gu, please stop ridiculing me."

She gave birth to two sons. The second son, Wu Yuan, refused to change despite repeated admonitions. Fortunately, Wen Lin was sensible since he was a child, which made her very happy.

…

In the flower hall of the ancient pear courtyard, Xie Fu sat at a round table waiting for the food to be served.

This Wanghe Tower is a restaurant, but Gu Xianting has to cook personally to prepare a table of wine and food for Mr. Xie.

After a while, Xiuer brought in the first dish and put it on the table.

Mr. Xie is also good at cooking. Seeing this dish served on a wooden board, he asked curiously: "What is the name of this dish?"

Xiu'er smiled and said, "You taste it first, and then I'll tell you."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xie Fu picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. He felt that the meat was not salty but greasy. The light woody aroma in the chewing made it less greasy, making it fresh and refreshing.

He opened his mouth and commented: "This meat is moderately fat and lean, with clear layers, and is cooked but not rotten. It must be Lantian pork."

Xiu'er said in surprise: "You have such a powerful mouth."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's because I have a great tongue."

Xiu'er spat: "Teasing me is nothing. If you have the ability, go ahead and tease the lady."

Xie Fu was speechless. Why did he tease you? He did not argue with Xiu'er and continued: "There is a smell of camphor wood in the entrance. I guess the key to this dish is the camphor wood board."

Xiu'er smiled and said: "This is a dish exclusively invented by Miss. It's called Daobanxiang. You can't eat it anywhere in the world except here."

Xie Fu praised: "The knife and board are fragrant, good! It is known as a home-cooked dish, but it can reach the level of elegance."

"Just don't stay here and leave after eating."

Xie Fu chuckled.

"Do you want to drink alcohol while eating food?"

"The wine is free."

Xie Fu declined, as he would have to discuss business with Gu Xianting later, and drinking would cause trouble.

"Wuxi Huiquan Brewing, do you want it?"

When Xie Fu heard the name, he immediately became greedy and said, "Xiu'er, you are so disgusting, I have stopped drinking, and you still come to seduce me."

Xiu'er chuckled: "Wine is like beauty, famous and exciting."

After a while, Xiuer sent Wuxi Huiquan wine.

This Wuxi Huiquan wine belongs to Wuxi rice wine. It is brewed with Huishan Huiquan spring water. It has a clear and mellow taste.

As soon as Xie Fu smelled the aroma of wine, he couldn't stop eating it. While eating delicious food and sipping fine wine, he felt that life was nothing more than a happy and carefree life.

It's just a boring thing to drink alone. I don't know if Miss Gu is good at drinking.

He actually wanted to drag Gu Xianting into the group.
