Chapter 9 Shelling and Steaming Crabs

The door opened.

The dozing mother-in-law immediately opened her eyes and saw Zhao Xihou who was about to hide: "Who is that?" What to do! ”

Immediately, several mothers-in-law and maids poured into the house.

Rui Xue desperately waved at Zhao Xihou and motioned for him to come quickly. Still, they were caught.

"Why don't you study hard, what are you going to do with your fifth sister?" Zhao Youlin glared at Zhao Xihou, who had broken through and had an unrepentant face. He said that where he had gone this afternoon, he had searched all over the house, but there was no one in his house, so he had gone to put his niece's feet away.

"You read all the books in your daily life? You think you're the Liangshan hero in that book! Put your feet? Put your feet! If I don't kill you today, I won't be your son! ”

Zhao Youlin personally picked up the bamboo board and hit Zhao Xihou.

Ruixue, who was kneeling on the side, rushed over silently and pushed Zhao Xihou to the ground. Zhao Youlin's head fell on Ruixue's body, and he wanted to fight again. only to find that the board was hugged by the little girl.

Rui Xue was in tears, and her cheeks were puffing up and glaring at Zhao Youlin: "You can't beat the big brother, he is a good person!" ”

Zhao Youlin didn't expect the little girl to suddenly insert a foot. He couldn't move at this little girl who looked at him pitifully with tears in his eyes, and was a beautiful little girl. But for his son, it would rather be different, and all the anger was vented on him.

"You've got a helper! Sure enough, it's grown! ”

Zhao Xihou hurriedly pulled Rui Xue over and looked at her palm: "Don't let you touch things!" Don't cry, if you cry, your eyes will hurt. ”

"He's a bad guy, he's a bad guy." Rui Xue said as she reached out to hit Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Xihou couldn't see Ruixue crying, so he hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, he's a bad person, let's beat him." ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Xihou say this, Zhao Youlin's face suddenly sank.

Ruixue sobbed and looked at Zhao Youlin, who had a black face, and cried timidly in her heart: "Ruixue wants Daddy!" Daddy. She felt that this white-faced uncle was so fierce, and as soon as she came up, she scolded her big brother and beat people. How is it so bad?

I was scared to cry!

Zhao Youlin said impatiently: "Don't cry! ”

Where did I think Ruixue cried louder.

Suddenly, Zhao Youlin's lintel softened. The little girl who was carved in pink cried so much that she lost her temper. He became a bad guy himself, and he had to glare at his son fiercely.

Zhao Xihou couldn't care about his father's blowing of ashes, and coaxed Rui Xue and said, "Don't cry." Don't cry. He took out his purse from Ruixue, took the hawthorn candy and stuffed it into Ruixue's mouth, and coaxed, "Don't cry after eating sugar!" ”

Rui Xue really listened to Zhao Xihou's words, and immediately closed her voice, just sobbing and avoiding Zhao Youlin.

Looking at a little doll with pear blossoms and rain hiding from herself, Zhao Youlin really had nothing to say, he was so hateful?

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Dealing with Zhao Xihou, Zhao Youlin had no choice, he wanted to beat him, but he was stopped by the little girl; wanted to scold something, but was cried back by the little girl; Now, he doesn't know what to do.

"Why is our Ruixue crying? Who bullied you? ”

When Mrs. Zhao arrived at the door, she heard Rui Xue sobbing, and bent down with a smile to look at Rui Xue who was kneeling on the ground. How can this little girl look so good, even crying is so moving.

Rui Xue timidly pointed at Zhao Youlin, and then opened her hand and pounced on Wang Jiuzhi, who came in with Old Lady Zhao, and said aggrievedly: "Daddy, Daddy!" Villain. ”

Wang Jiuzhi heard others say that Ruixue was brought to the second master, so he hurriedly threw away the work in his hand and ran over, but he didn't want to meet the old lady Zhao halfway.

Wang Jiuzhi hugged Ruixue tightly, and after picking up Ruixue, he was reluctant to ask her to cry more. His daughter's eyes were swollen, and his heart felt like he had been slapped by thousands of pieces.

"Daddy, you save the big brother. He's a good guy. Old lady, you save the big brother, he is a good person, he saved Ruixue, so his feet don't hurt. Rui Xue pulled Wang Jiuzhi to help Zhao Xihou, thinking about it and said timidly, "Daddy, I'm not bound my feet, okay?" ”

Wang Jiuzhi already regretted binding Ruixue's feet. What kind of foot wrapping can marry a good man, nonsense! He regretted it.

He choked up and said, "No, let's not wrap!" ”

Old lady Zhao lightly nodded Wang Jiuzhi's shoulder: "Alas, alas." Ok ok. He walked to the main seat and sat down, glanced at Zhao Xihou, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Zhao Youlin slowly.

"What do you do?"

"Father." Zhao Youlin hurriedly took half a step forward, bowed down and said, "This evil obstacle ran to release the feet of the five nieces." actually said that he was saving her. If you don't teach him a good lesson today, I don't know if he will do something to kill the king and kill his father in the future! ”

Old lady Zhao ignored her son's gritted teeth, leaned over and asked Zhao Xihou: "Why are you going to put your fifth sister's feet?" Don't you know that all women will bind their feet? ”

Zhao Xihou raised his head in righteousness and said, "Fifth sister shouted pain. ”

Old lady Zhao glanced at Ruixue who was hugged by Wang Jiuzhi to the side, still looking at Ruixue here, and pointed: "Ruixue's feet were also put by you?" ”

"Yes!"

Old lady Zhao looked at the upright Zhao Xihou and was a little angry, this kid still doesn't know what he is wrong with. He slapped the table heavily and said, "You let them go, just save them?" Don't you know that most women marry based on their feet? If you let them marry with big feet, aren't you afraid of being laughed at and killed? ”

"Why?"

Zhao Xihou didn't understand what his grandfather said, and Rui Xue also looked at Old Lady Zhao with questioning eyes. She also heard from others, and she also wanted to understand why she could marry a good man by binding her feet.

"It's the rule." Old lady Zhao found it difficult to explain this matter. He also knew since he was a child that women had to bind their feet, as for why, he didn't think about it, probably the same reason as why women should be grease and powdered, and why men should have beards, natural, everything is destined by God.

He felt that he would definitely not get Zhao Xihou's approval for saying this, and he really didn't know, so he had to change his voice clearly: "What if Rui Xue can't marry at that time?" ”

Zhao Xihou immediately continued: "Then I'll marry her!" ”

One sentence immediately calmed down the people present, except for Rui Xue, who didn't know what marriage was. The people were shocked how Rui Xue got into the eyes of the third young master; Mrs. Zhao was thinking about whether she had done too much; Zhao Youlin was angry, he didn't want to think about it, he ruined a girl's reputation, if something happened in the future, it wouldn't be a bad son.

"You!"

Zhao Youlin was so angry that he grabbed the bamboo board again and pumped it at Zhao Xihou's body.

Old lady Zhao only looked at it and didn't speak.

Rui Xue broke free from Wang Jiuzhi's embrace, rushed to Zhao Youlin's side and grabbed the hem of Zhao Youlin's clothes, trying not to ask him to hit Zhao Xihou. But where can I hold it, I have to squeeze between Zhao Xihou and Zhao Youlin, and stop and don't call.

"Bad guys, bad guys. Don't hit the big brother. ”

Zhao Youlin couldn't figure out who Ruixue was, seeing that the material on his body was good, and it was not good to fight again, so he had to stop.

"Good, good! You married her, what about your fifth sister? You can't marry your five sisters together! "Old lady Zhao has opened her mouth in the end.

Zhao Xihou was only a little difficult, after all, he still knew the truth that his sister couldn't marry. He thought for a while and said, "Then I'll find my sister someone who doesn't look at her feet!" ”

Old lady Zhao smiled when she heard this. The child's thoughts are good, but the things of the world are not like that.

Zhao Xihou was punished to kneel in the study to introspect.

He rubbed his knees, which were painfully kneeling, and rubbed his disgruntled stomach. Looking up at the sky outside, it was already the second watch. Rongyue and the others are all dead, don't you know to bring him something to eat? I knew that I shouldn't have disliked that crab roe soup bun, and I would probably be able to eat it for a while.

Crab roe soup dumplings......

"Stir-fried crab roe, stir-fried crab with salt and pepper, drunk crab, crab roe tofu, crab roe xiaolongbao......"

Slippery crab noodles were read out by him.

"Hee-hee." Rui Xue covered her mouth with one hand and smiled: "None of these." ”

Zhao Xihou turned to look at Rui Xue, who poked out a head, and watched her walk in, his eyes were naturally the food box she was holding in her hand.

"What's that?"

Rui Xue opened the snack box and took out a bowl of things: "It's shelled steamed crab." ”

But I saw that there were two crabs with claws and feet on the steamed eggs.

"...... this?"

Rui Xue smiled: "Daddy knows that you have been kneeling for so long and you can't eat anything too hard, so he specially made this." ”

Peel the crab shell, put the crab meat and crab roe in the shell, and steam it on the egg custard. The crab meat is tender, and the egg custard contains crab flavor, which is really delicious.

Zhao Xihou nodded again and again: "It's delicious!" Why is this still hot? ”

"Daddy said that this thing smells fishy when it's cold. Let me wrap a cotton cloth around here, and it won't cool so quickly. ”

Zhao Xihou ate a crab in two swallows. He said with some regret: "Dad punished me to write a hundred words tomorrow, and he didn't give me anything to eat if he didn't finish writing." ”

"Why don't I write it for you?"

Zhao Xihou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know words?" ”

Ruixue shook her head.

"If you can't get by, even if you can write, the handwriting is different, and my father can see it. Big deal, you can secretly bring me food again. ”

Seeing that he said it so easily, Rui Xue couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xihou, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Ruixue's feet: "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It still hurts a little."

Zhao Xihou stopped to eat, and said, "What do you still hurt to run around?" ”

Rui Xue whispered her defense, stretched out her thumb and index finger, and compared a slight gap and said, "It's just a little bit, that's it." It won't hurt tomorrow. ”

Zhao Xihou snorted coldly, peeled a piece of crab meat and stuffed it into Rui Xue's mouth, scooped the egg and ate it himself: "If it's not good, don't run around, what if you get hurt?" ”

Rui Xue nodded honestly: "Then do I want to send you food tomorrow?" ”

"......" Zhao Xihou didn't speak, this is a crying guy.

Soon the egg custard bottomed out, and Zhao Xi licked his mouth with unfinished care. Looking outside, there was no one, he slackened, moved his already numb legs, and sat on the ground. The calves are sore and numb, and it is very uncomfortable.

Rui Xue watched Zhao Xihou rub her knees, took out the purse that Zhao Xihou gave her from her arms, and took the hawthorn candy and sent it to his mouth.

Hawthorn candy again. Zhao Xihou hesitated, but still held it in his mouth.

And she rubbed her legs and stomach for herself: "Just rub it, it'll be fine in a while." You also ate hawthorn candy! ”

"I'm not full."

Rui Xue saw Zhao Xihou's unfinished face, and couldn't help laughing: "Daddy said that you can't eat so much, your body will not be able to stand it." I'll bring you some snacks tomorrow morning. ”
