Chapter 178 Throwing into his arms, crying even more
"Brother Zeyu."
After a long time, Li Can called out slightly.
"Yeah." Zhao Ye responded lightly.
Li Can raised her little hand and held his face. She looked at him with bright, pure and innocent eyes, and said delicately and domineeringly: "You are not allowed to kiss anyone else again."
The corners of Zhao Ye's lips curled up slightly.
Li Can lowered his eyes and added in a low voice: "At least not before getting married."
After getting married, if she can't control it anymore, then forget about it and enjoy yourself now!
Anyway, she just couldn't help it, she just couldn't forget Zhao Ye!
They are already like this, so at least during the period before getting married, Zhao Ji belongs to her, right?
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to marry her as the crown prince.
She won't be Zhao Zong's concubine either, so let's do this for now and don't want to do anything about it in the future.
But when they were like this, she seemed very sorry for her future husband.
Then don’t find a husband.
Zhao Zhen said nothing and stretched out his arms to hug her tightly.
"Hurry up and promise me!" Li Can raised his head, pursed his lips and shook him willfully.
Zhao Zhen leaned over and pecked her on the lips.
Li Can then curled up his eyes and smiled, leaning on his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and suddenly remembered to ask him: "You haven't told me yet, where did you learn it?"
She was very curious, if it wasn't Du Ziyan who taught him, how could Zhao Gong know this?
"I read it in the book." Zhao Zhi rested his chin on the top of her furry head, with a real smile in his cold eyes.
"What book?" Li Can couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jie said nothing.
Li Can suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "I understand, is it the book Zhao Yinhuan gave me last time, specifically about Zhou Gong's etiquette?"
What Zhao Yinhuan told her that time was that before she had time to read the book, she asked Zhao Ji to take it away.
The thin red color that had just dissipated on Zhao Ji's face was beginning to appear again.
"Oh!" Li Can grabbed his collar and deliberately said in a draggy tone: "It turned out to be a way to enrich his own pockets. He took it away and watched it himself. I want to watch it too."
"No nonsense, you can't read." Zhao Zong flatly refused.
"Why?" Li Can frowned.
He can see it, but she can't. What's the reason?
Zhao Ye stood up and put her down.
"Brother Zeyu, I want to watch!" Li Can hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
Zhao Ye walked out.
Li Can dragged him and refused to move forward: "I want to see it, can you show it to me?"
She was really curious about how this kind of thing was written in the book.
"I'll show you later." Zhao Zhi was a little perfunctory.
Li Can still wants to fight for it again.
Zhao Ye stroked her somewhat disheveled hair and said in a rare gentle tone: "Be obedient."
"Okay then." Li Can reluctantly agreed, almost as if she was hanging on his arm, and followed him out: "Where are we going?"
"Small kitchen." Zhao Zhi replied to her.
When Li Can heard him talking about the kitchen, he stopped worrying about reading and asked him curiously: "Brother Zeyu, didn't you say you can't waste food? What do you do with grass and glutinous rice mixed together?"
"That's not grass." Zhao Ye glanced sideways at her: "That's wheat seedlings that have never seen the sun."
Li Can saw eight big words in his eyes - "If the limbs are not diligent, the grains will not be separated."
"Then what did you do with that?" She became more curious and asked him after him.
"You'll know later." Zhao Zhen paused and said, "After the New Year, it's time for you to learn something new."
"What is it?" Li Can followed him to the threshold of the kitchen.
"Make a fire in the wild, use knots to catch small animals, fish, and roast them, etc." Zhao Zong thought about it and said: "We also need to learn how to set off the fire for help, know some herbal medicines, and let's talk about the rest."
"Why do you want to learn these things?" Li Can heard the novelty and said, "I don't go out."
"Maybe it will come in handy." Zhao Xie opened the lid of the pot.
Li Can curiously leaned over to take a look. There was still steam in the pot. The chopped wheat sprouts and glutinous rice were mixed together, and a lot of juice seemed to leak out.
Zhao Ji took the copper basin and poured out everything in the pot.
Li Can watched him use a gauze bag to squeeze out the juice from the broken wheat seedlings and glutinous rice, and asked him: "Brother Zeyu, you want to teach me so many things, do you know how to do it?"
She was a little skeptical, as she had never seen Zhao Zong do anything like that.
But Zhao Ji has never done what he is doing, so why would he do it?
"Yes." Zhao Zhi replied simply.
"How could it happen?" Li Can sat down on a bench nearby: "I haven't seen you do this?"
"When the princes were in Imperial College, they had a course to learn these things specifically." Zhao Zhi explained calmly: "It is to protect themselves when encountering certain uncontrollable situations."
"Oh." Li Can nodded: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it."
Where would she get those things?
"Learn slowly."
Zhao Jie brought the squeezed juice to the stove and said, "Today, let's learn how to make a fire."
"You want me to light the fire?" Li Can pointed at himself and opened his dark eyes.
How can it be!
How dirty that is!
She doesn't want to!
"Yes." Zhao Ye was already sitting on the small spoon at the mouth of the stove: "Come here, I will teach you."
"I don't want it!" Li Can refused.
When she's grown up, she won't be able to light a fire or even touch the firewood. She doesn't want to sit in a dirty place like that.
"Come here." Zhao Zhi looked solemn.
Li Can didn't want to go there, but was a little afraid of him. She pouted and slowly moved to his side. She lowered her head and looked at the dress she was wearing: "It will get dirty."
"Which one did you wear the second time?" Zhao Zhi pulled her and sat down on his lap.
Li Can was speechless for a moment.
Most of her clothes are worn once and then not worn again. Washed clothes are not as beautiful as new clothes anyway. Unless it is an extremely rare and very beautiful dress, she will make an exception and wear it more.
return.
"Take a look first." Zhao Zhi pointed to the inside of the stove.
Li Can reluctantly leaned over to take a look.
There was no flame in the stove, only something like charcoal fire, which was clearly extinguished.
"Watch." Zhao Ye added a handful of soft fireweed to the stove and taught her carefully: "Use the fire stick to push the fireweed up."
Li Can raised his hand, but was still unwilling to pick up the ashes-looking fire stick.
Zhao Ye took her little hand and pressed it up: "Hurry up."
Li Can was disgusted to death, but couldn't get away, so he could only follow what he said and push the fireweed onto the sparks little by little.
"Use this, point it here, and fan yourself." Zhao Zhen handed her the banana fan on the side and pointed to the opening under the stove and ordered.
"What are you fanning for?" Li Can was very curious. His hands were already dirty, but he didn't mind that the banana fan was dirty.
"If you fan it, it will reignite it," Zhao Zong replied.
Li Can felt strange and slapped him vigorously a few times.
"coax--"
There was a soft sound in the stove, and the fireweed instantly ignited.
"I'm really on fire!" Li Can was surprised and happy.
"Add grass." Zhao Zhi told her.
Li Can's life was very precious, so she didn't dare to put any more hands into the stove. She piled all the grass at the mouth of the stove. If Zhao Gong hadn't helped her, the fire that had just been started would have been extinguished.
"While the fire is strong, add some firewood to it." Zhao Ge then taught her: "Once the firewood is on fire, it will not be easy to extinguish, and there is no need to add more firewood all the time.
When it's short, push it in. If there's not much left, add some more."
"Okay." Li Can nodded.
"Do it yourself." Zhao Zhi helped her up and stood up.
Li Can held up her skirt and sat down at the mouth of the stove. The firelight reflected on her bright white face, adding a bit of warmth to her.
Zhao Ji stood by the stove, poured all the juice from the half-copper basin into the pot, and took a long chopstick to stir.
Li Can was busy adding firewood and didn't care to look at what he was doing.
Until Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and told her: "No need to burn it."
"But, there is still fire!" Li Can raised his two small hands, at a loss.
"Don't worry about it," Zhao Zhi said.
"Then can I get up?" Li Can asked him as he poked his head.
"Yeah." Zhao Zong nodded.
Li Can stood up and patted himself all over, before walking to the stove and looking at it.
"Wow! Maltose!" She was surprised when she saw what was in the pot, and took two steps forward: "Brother Zeyu, is this maltose?"
Although the color was a bit white, she could smell the sweet aroma and she was very sure that this was maltose!
It turns out that maltose is really made of malt! After eating maltose for so many years, this is the first time she knows about it. It’s so amazing.
Zhao Zong kept stirring in his hands and had no time to look at her. He only ordered: "Go and wash your hands."
"Okay." Li Can happily agreed and washed his hands obediently.
"Get the porcelain jar on the table." Zhao Zhi ordered her again.
"Coming."
Li Can took the porcelain jar with gold and fish patterns and brought it to Zhao Zhen. He stretched his neck to look at it. After a while, the color of the maltose changed. It looked exactly like the maltose sold in the market.
.
"It's ready, I'll hold it for you." She raised the porcelain pot and stared into the pot with her bright phoenix eyes.
She thought beautifully that Zhao Zhen had no preference for sugar. Such a large amount of maltose would be enough for her to eat for a long time.
"Put it down if it's hot." Zhao Zhi told her.
"Oh." Li Can obeyed obediently.
Zhao Ge took the chopsticks, stirred the pot lightly, pulled off a piece of sugar and handed it to her, and then put all the remaining maltose in the pot into the porcelain jar.
Li Can used chopsticks in each hand to stir the hot and sticky maltose: "It's still hot! It's exactly the same as the ones sold in the market! Brother Zeyu, you are so awesome!"
She gently pulled the two chopsticks apart, and saw that the candy was golden in color, like a piece of translucent amber, and overflowing with sweetness, just right.
She brought the candy to her lips and took a small bite. The sweet aroma of maltose slowly melted on the tip of her tongue. The sweetness filled her entire mouth and slowly went down her throat. Her heart seemed to be instantly filled with this sweetness.
, she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes slightly.
Zhao Zhen put down his things and turned around to look at her.
"Brother Zeyu, it's delicious. Try it." Li Can smiled and raised the candy in front of him: "It tastes better than the ones sold in the market."
It tastes better than anything else, she secretly added in her mind.
"You can eat." Zhao Zhi glanced at her, with a touch of tenderness hidden in his eyes.
"good."
Li Can obediently took back his hand and took another bite. While eating, his eyes suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and tears rolled down his face.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhen noticed something was wrong with her and took a step forward.
Li Can held the candy in his mouth but did not open his mouth. Big tears fell down his pretty face, as if he had been greatly wronged. He looked extremely pitiful.
"You're so good, why are you crying?" Zhao Zhen raised her little face and wiped her tears, his tone was light, but if you listen carefully, it seemed to be different from usual.
When Li Can heard what he asked, she threw herself into his arms. Not only did she not speak, but she cried even harder.
"What happened?" Zhao Zhen hugged her tightly and sighed softly, with a little helplessness in his tone.
