Chapter 30: Talking Plum

Zhao Xiyun took Zhao Xixiao's hand and hurriedly returned to his room. Pulled Zhao Xixiao to sit down: "What's wrong with you, why are you uncomfortable?" ”

Zhao Xixiaoqiang smiled and shook his head: "Fifth sister, I'm fine." ”

Zhao Xixiao's eyes were clearly red.

Zhao Xiyun asked worriedly, "Are you crying?" ”

"Fifth sister, I'm really fine. I heard that my grandfather is about to celebrate his birthday, what should I give? ”

Zhao Xiyun smiled and took out his embroidery: "Why don't you do it with me?" ”

Zhao Xixiao looked at a large embroidery with envy: "The work is really good." ”

Zhao Xiyun drew the silk thread and wound it on the spool: "The word was written by the third brother." I can't write it. ”

"My wife is talking about the third brother at home."

Zhao Xiyun nodded and said, "The third brother can discuss with grandpa for the first time." ”

Zhao Xixiao smiled shyly: "This is what the master is most proud of. ”

Zhao Xiyun got up and took out a small box and pushed it in front of Zhao Xixiao: "The third brother will bring something back every time he goes out, and if he knows you coming this time, he will definitely bring it to you." ”

Zhao Xixiao looked at the contents of the box, and his eyes burst into a look, but it quickly disappeared.

"The third brother will bring something to Ruixue every time, and he will definitely not forget you. Later, Ruixue will come over, and the three of us will embroider this together. ”

Zhao Xixiao didn't speak, but just raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xiyun.

Zhao Xiyun took Zhao Xixiao's hand and said, "Ruixue grew up with me since she was a child, and she also grew up eating Liu's mother's milk. Ruixue's father, Uncle Wang, is the best at making food, what do you want to eat, I asked Uncle Wang to do it? ”

Zhao Xixiao shook his head, just studying the patterns on the embroidery.

"Fifth girl, I'm bringing you a snack."

The familiar voice came from outside, and Zhao Xiyun immediately showed joy, stood up and went out to greet him.

"What kind of place is this where you can scream? Where are you a girl? Call your stewards here. ”

The maid guarding the door saw that Zhao Xiyun was about to come out, so she hurriedly lifted the curtain. The mother-in-law who reprimanded the visitor loudly did not see Zhao Xiyun ordering someone to drive the visitor out.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Fifth girl, I don't know where the little girl is, there are no rules, you have to teach it well." ”

Zhao Xiyun said: "The eldest lady just came to ......"

Before she finished speaking, her sleeves were pulled, and she turned around to find that it was Zhao Xixiao who was pulling her sleeves, and there was still a trace of fear on her face.

Seeing that Zhao Xiyun didn't speak, Yuzao stepped forward to take the food box in Ruixue's hand, pulled her and said, "Ruixue is here?" Come on in, we've been waiting for you for a long time. What is today's dim sum? ”

Rui Xue looked at the strange mother-in-law and stopped talking, and silently followed Zhao Xiyun into the house.

Zhao Xiyun saw that the mother-in-law also came in, and said to her: "I don't want anyone to serve here, let's go down." The wife wants to pick Buddha beans for the third brother, and if the eldest mother has nothing to do, she will go there. ”

The mother-in-law had nothing to say but to go out.

Zhao Xiyun smiled and took Ruixue's hand and came to Zhao Xixiao: "Ruixue, this is the seventh sister, the third brother's sister-in-law; This is Ruixue. ”

Zhao Xixiao didn't move, just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Zhao Xiyun was silent when she saw her, sighed slightly and pulled Rui Xue and said, "Why did you come today, there are still so many embroideries in this Baishou, but it will be sooner." ”

Rui Xue took a corner, looked at the color, and threaded the needle: "There are many things today, I helped my father do it and come over." I'm afraid it's going to be so late in the future. ”

Zhao Xiyun saw Zhao Xixiao honestly sitting on a chair with a book in her hand and looked, and pulled her over: "The third brother wrote to me before he went to the hospital for the test, seventh sister, let's do it together?" ”

Zhao Xixiao said crampedly: "My work is not good. ”

"Why, your purse from yesterday is very good. What kind of stitch is that? I've never seen it. ”

Zhao Xixiao's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and he said hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Rui Xue looked at Zhao Xixiao and suddenly said, "That eldest lady is the person in front of the seventh girl?" ”

Zhao Xixiao whispered: "It was given to me by my wife." ”

Rui Xue pouted and said, "I hate such people the most, and Aunt Cui was like this before." It is always said that this is not allowed and that is not allowed. You have a lot of rules. ”

Zhao Xixiao suddenly grimaced, and said sharply: "What are you!" Someone who dares to say his wife. I don't care if you are from the old mansion or not, how good you are with the fifth sister, if there are two times, I will hand you over to my wife! ”

Zhao Xiyun and Ruixue didn't expect her to suddenly change her face. Rui Xue was a little shocked, stopped and looked at Zhao Xixiao, and lowered her head to embroider the word Shou silently.

Zhao Xiyun pushed her: "It's just casually talking, what are you really doing?" ”

How do you know that Zhao Xixiao is not soft at all, but said with a straight face: "Aunt Zhang is the person given to me by my wife, and I can't talk about her casually." Not to mention the people in front of the wife, even cats and dogs are not allowed to move. My sister is here with the old lady, and she must have learned more than me, don't you know such a little bit of filial piety? ”

Zhao Xiyun was stunned suddenly, not knowing what to do. This seventh sister is really ...... The changes before and after were really unacceptable to her. Be cautious in front of your elders, but in ...... Again.

Ruixue put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and came to Zhao Xixiao and squatted in front of Wanfu: "It's my fault, and I ask the seventh girl to punish me." She squatted there with her legs bent, not waiting for Zhao Xixiao to speak, and not getting up.

Zhao Xixiao glanced at her a few times before snorting: "That's it." ”

Zhao Xiyun saw that it was not very good, and said to Zhao Xixiao: "Are you staying here for a few months, or will you stay here in the future?" ”

Zhao Xixiao was stunned and hung his head: "I don't know, my wife asked me to stay." ”

"Mrs. told you to stay?" Zhao Xiyun pushed Zhao Xixiao and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to stay here?" ”

Zhao Xixiao lowered his head: "Mrs. has the meaning of wife." How would I know. ”

"Could it be that you also want to take the top prize? Let you do the same thing as your grandfather? ”

Zhao Xixiao said a little stiffly: "If I were a man, I wouldn't be like this now." ”

The room suddenly fell silent for a while, and Zhao Xiyun glanced at Rui Xue, who was also looking at him, with some surprise. She had already sensed that Second Mrs. Zhao was deliberately cold to Zhao Xixiao, but how could she say such a thing.

Zhao Xiyun deliberately enlivened the atmosphere: "It's the men who are not good, the third brother is forced to study by his grandfather every day, so I don't want it." ”

Zhao Xixiao pulled out a wry smile: "You are not a man, of course you don't know how good men are." ”

"Are you a man? Seventh sister, why do you talk like this at a young age? ”

"My life is not good, I just hope that I can support a man in the next life, and then it will be fine."

Rui Xue only felt that Zhao Xixiao's words were bitter, as if she was forcibly suppressing something. She gently pushed the stunned Zhao Xiyun, and the seventh girl had already put on the posture of a young lady, she couldn't open her mouth, and she saved another good reprimand.

"Seventh sister, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? ”

Zhao Xixiao's tears rolled down in an instant, and his face was suddenly crowded with Qi Rong: "It's all me, if I don't kill my brother, I'll ......" said and covered his mouth and sobbed in a low voice.

Zhao Xiyun saw her crying, took a handkerchief to her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Brother? Doesn't the second uncle only need the third brother and Brother Shou two sons? ”

Zhao Xixiao sniffled and said: "My wife is pregnant with a double stick, I came out first, but my younger brother was born ......, and they all said that I killed my younger brother." ”

Rui Xue didn't like Zhao Xixiao, who taught herself a lesson, but when she saw her crying, she put down the needle and thread and patted her: "How could it be your fault?" ”

Zhao Xixiao cried and said, "If he comes out first and I come out later, he won't die." ”

Zhao Xiyun said hesitantly: "It's because of this that my wife doesn't like you?" ”

Zhao Xixiao nodded tearfully: "Yes." It turned out to be fine. It's just that after Brother Shou was born, Brother Shou was born on the same day as me, and my wife said that my brother came back, so I hugged him and raised him personally. So ......"

Zhao Xiyun nodded sadly, and said softly: "I also killed my mother, I have only seen my father once since I grew up, and you still have your parents, isn't it better than me?" ”

Ruixue was also a little uncomfortable when they cried: "I haven't seen my mother since I was born, Seventh Girl, don't cry." ”

Zhao Xixiao was a little embarrassed when he heard them say this, hurriedly wiped his tears, and said in a panic: "It's me who is abrupt." ”

Zhao Xiyun smiled slightly: "It's okay." If you stay, I'll have one more person to talk to Ruixue, and it's too late to be happy. Ruixue always has to help Uncle Wang now, and rarely comes to me. The third brother knows how to read all day long, and sometimes he only knows to play with Ruixue, and rarely comes to see me, but when you come, I talk a lot. ”

Zhao Xixiao said a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to speak." ”

Rui Xue spread some embroidery to her: "Then please embroider with us." I don't know if the three of us will be able to finish the embroidery. Seven girls, do you eat plums? ”

Rui Xue untied the purse and handed it to Zhao Xixiao.

She turned her head slightly and whispered, "Sour." ”

Zhao Xiyun took one in his mouth, and put another one on Zhao Xixiao's mouth: "It's not sour, it's a little sweet." Chao Ruixue smiled, "You did it?" ”

Rui Xue embroidered two stitches in a row before stopping: "No." The third young master took it back and put a big bag in the kitchen. ”

Zhao Xiyun said angrily: "Why does the third brother only give it to you?" ”

"The one that my classmates bought was the one where the old lady was the matchmaker. said that the sister of that family was too difficult, and buying some of the things she made was also to help others, and the radishes she ate these times were made by that sister, and the tea that the old lady drank was also fried by her. ”

Zhao Xiyun groaned: "Is it surnamed Qiu?" ”

Rui Xue nodded: "Although the third young master was beaten because of this, but the old lady was a matchmaker, and they all said that it was a blessing in disguise." ”

Zhao Xixiao covered his mouth in surprise: "Beaten? The third brother was beaten by his grandfather? ”

Zhao Xiyun only mentioned it slightly, and didn't mention anything else: "It's okay, it's good morning." Grandpa is also for the good of the third brother. ”

Zhao Xixiao was relieved at this time, and said in a worried and whispered: "This can't let my wife know, if it is...... Don't talk to your wife. ”

Rui Xue saw that Zhao Xixiao's face suddenly changed color, and nodded hurriedly: "Got it." Looking at Zhao Xixiao's stitching again, he said with a smile, "Seventh girl, how do you embroider this, teach me?" On weekdays, I always hear them say that the three masters are in a big place, and I only know when I see your acupuncture today. ”

Zhao Xiyun also surrounded him, and carefully looked at the lines of Zhao Xixiao's embroidery: "I have also studied with Rongyue for many days, and I have never seen her embroider like this, what is this called?" ”

Zhao Xixiao said a little embarrassedly: "This is sprinkling thread embroidery." It is a kind of embroidery method in the north. It is said to be a double-strand thread, embroidered according to the yarn hole of the square hole yarn. Speaking softly and softly, there are some unclear places, if Ruixue and they asked, her cheeks were red and burned until her ears, so she had to say, "I can't say it, the maid in my house will be able to, I will ask her to teach." ”

Zhao Xiyun shook his head and said, "Don't let them say it, what you said is very good." What else is embroidered in the north? ”

"That's a lot, there are thorough embroidery, hair embroidery, flat gold embroidery, velvet embroidery...... Thoroughness is ......"

Zhao Xixiao seemed to be rare to say so many words, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little like water in the sluice, gushing endlessly.

Rui Xue and Zhao Xiyun listened on the side, but they couldn't digest it for a while, and it didn't take long for them to feel bored.

Zhao Xixiao said for a while, looked at their expressions, stopped, and said curtly: "I talk too much." ”

Ruixue pushed Mei to her: "Shengjin quenches your thirst, Seventh girl, are you dry in your mouth?" ”

Zhao Xiyun also smiled, and personally poured tea for her to eat: "No, it's just that so many of us can't listen to it at once, anyway, you have to stay here and teach us slowly in the future?" ”

Rui Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't know if I want to apprentice?" ”

Zhao Xixiao's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "No, no, let's learn from each other, just learn from each other." ”

Zhao Xiyun pretended to beat Ruixue: "Now that you have learned from the third brother, you know how to play the seventh sister." ”

Rui Xue hurriedly ran away, and said with a smile: "What I said is true, how can I mean anything else." If you call the seventh girl, I will be convinced. ”

Zhao Xixiao watched Rui Xue running around in the house, but Zhao Xiyun couldn't catch up with her, Fang was a little surprised, but when he saw Rui Xue's big feet, he couldn't help but say, "She's ......"

Zhao Xiyun couldn't catch up with Ruixue, so he had to stop, took a fan and fanned it gently, seeing Zhao Xixiao pointing to Ruixue's feet, he said with some envy: "Ruixue didn't wrap her feet, the third brother gave her a solution." How good, I can run freely, although I also let go of my feet, but it is still inconvenient, I didn't run two steps, and my feet hurt. ”

Mei: In addition to appetizing and quenching thirst, it also treats chronic cough, hypothermia and thirst, malaria, diarrhea, blood in the urine, blood collapse, abdominal pain and vomiting. As I said in the second chapter, plum was a condiment in ancient times, and it was sour to adjust the taste, and making snacks was a matter of the future.

Originally, the plum was used by the storyteller to moisten his mouth, because after talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, so he put a salted plum in his mouth, and the sour and salty taste stimulated the taste buds, so that the saliva secreted into the mouth was full, and he could continue to speak. Mr. Storyteller's "book" is called "Word Book", and his plum is also called "Word Plum".

Uh~ Red envelopes prefer to eat the shared nine-system plum and Guang Aomei, but now Guang Aomei has not seen it sold. Quietly, there is a kind of sweet and sour talk in the fool's melon seed shop, and the plum is also more delicious.

Today is Valentine's Day, everyone gives their couples a glass of Sprite with a few plums, and tastes the feeling of recalling the first love - sweet and sour mixed with a hint of saltiness, oh ~ There is a feeling that the heart is like a deer hitting ~
