Lin Shenzhi's courage had grown stronger, and his true nature was revealed. With a smile, he saluted to Old Mrs. Lin and the elders around him, and slipped into Old Mrs. Lin's arms with ease. Although Old Mrs. Lin was attentively listening to Fuquan's whispered reply.
, but had no intention of pushing him out, and casually grabbed a green-skinned orange and handed it to Lin Shenzhi, and casually responded to the question from a guest next to him: "He is young, only five years old, and has not yet enlightened."
Lin Shenzhi blinked, gently tugged on Old Mrs. Lin's sleeve, and whispered a few words into his ear. Old Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up, but a very stern look appeared on his face: "You never lied to me?
"
Lin Shenzhi nodded confidently and touched the old man's palm a few times. The fourth sister asked him to find a way to let his grandfather know that he was already literate and well-behaved. He finally had a chance.
Old Mrs. Lin felt confident and stroked his beard: "In that case, just write your name for me to see."
Even though Lin Shenzhi is young and naughty, he was raised by Tao himself and he learned calligraphy at a very young age. This will definitely show off his face in public! Lin Yizhi's eyes darkened, and he quietly held back his hands, then retracted them.
Standing behind Mr. Lin San, with his head and brain drooping, Mr. Lin San became somewhat interested: "Hey, Qi Lang can already read and write?"
As soon as he said this, someone looked at him strangely. Didn't he, the father, know this? Old Mrs. Lin glanced at him with a sharp look, which frightened Mr. Lin San to shrink his neck and dare not speak. Over there, Lin Shenzhi
Niao Sheng said a few words humbly: "It's so pitiful that I can't see anyone."
The crowd roared with laughter.
However, Lin Jinrong learned from Tao Fengtang that Shoudao passed the test without any danger, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, cousin." As for the information related to Lu Mian, she treated it as nothing.
did not hear it.
Tao Fengtang is nineteen years old this year. Because he always follows Uncle Tao to the village, shop, and farm all year round, he is strong and strong, and his skin is a healthy wheat color. He is not at all like a man from the Lin family.
He is white and frail, but he has a rare cheerful and meticulous temperament. He whispered: "Even if your grandfather suppresses me, others will just be dissatisfied and come to settle accounts with you afterwards. How will you treat me?"
Lin Jinrong smiled lightly: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. As long as it doesn't involve my seventh brother, I'm nothing." The worst outcome of the incident just now was that she would be punished, but Lin Shenzhi's fate might not be the same.
Being able to be personally educated by Mrs. Lin! This is what she hopes and needs most. Even if Tao wants to give the best to Lin Shenzhi, the education of boys cannot be separated from outstanding male elders. The one in her family
You can't count on a fairy father at all.
Tao Fengtang said: "There are times when your teeth touch your tongue. There will always be troubles in living at home. As long as you don't care about it and think openly, it will be fine." He was silent for a moment and whispered: "I have brought you all novelties.
, there is a mezzanine under your sister’s box, tell her..."
Lin Jinrong smiled knowingly, but said: "I won't tell you! My eldest cousin hid good things for my sister and told the elders to know about it, and we will all be punished!"
Tao Fengtang was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She cupped her hands as a gift and begged in a low voice: "It's just a pair of crystal hairpins. I bought them with the money I earned from this business trip. In the future, when my brother has more money, I can give them to you and him."
Seventh Brother buys better ones."
Lin Jinrong smiled slyly: "Cousin! I'm risking my life. You have to remember that you owe me a favor! Don't let me beg you and you push back again!" Next year it will be Aunt Wu.
In his forties, he had to find a way to go to Cheongju and see what was going on in the market.
What extraordinary thing could a little girl ask of herself? It was nothing more than eating and playing. Although Tao Fengtang didn't take it seriously, she teased her little cousin to bargain: "Didn't I just listen to you and help my seventh brother? Why do I owe you again?
Favor?"
Lin Jinrong overcame him and said, "Isn't that your seventh brother? You help me? Hum! Big cousin!"
"Yes, he is also my seventh brother." Tao Fengtang laughed: "I haven't seen you for half a year, and I have a sharp tongue! That's all, it's not good for me to be away for too long, so I'm leaving now. Don't forget what I told you!"
"I know! Even if I forget myself, I will never forget about you, cousin!" Lin Jinrong and Tao Fengtang waved their hands and watched him enter the building.
There was a cool breeze blowing by my ears, the bamboo forest was rustling, the sound of music on the stage not far away, the singing of actors, and the laughter in the theater lingered from far to near. Lin Jinrong stopped and listened.
, with a calm look on her face. Look, she is not stupid. As long as she wants to do it and is braver, she can do it... She must earn a lot of money in this life. She wants to be begged and be asked by others.
The person she relies on can do whatever she wants, while the person who depends on others cannot be free and independent in everything. The process may be difficult and long, but she always has her own goals in life.
When Lychee saw her standing still, he didn't rush her, so he stopped behind her and stood quietly, looking down at Lin Jinrong's feet.
I don’t know when it started. It is popular among women to wrap their feet to be slim and straight, which is called "quickly mount the horse". What they want is to have a slim and straight look. Naturally, the girls of the Lin family are not immune to this custom. The fourth girl has a very beautiful pair.
But for some reason, the pair of shoes on the girl's feet were made just a few months ago for today's banquet. Today, when she put them on for the first time, they seemed to be a little tight at the wide area.
As people grow up, their feet will also grow up, but it's a bit strange that it lasted like this for a month. Li Zhi couldn't decide whether he should tell Aunt Gui about this.
The master and the servants were in a daze with their own thoughts. Guiyuan ran up from behind angrily and said: "My good girl, thank you for having the leisure to spend time here! Do you know how much injustice my wife has suffered for you and the seventh young master?"
!" Then he went to pull Lin Jinrong's sleeve: "Let's go and let them see how wronged you have been. Where is the seventh young master?"
Lin Jinrong glanced at Guiyuan coldly, threw her hand that was holding his sleeve, and said calmly: "Zhahahuhu, scratching and pulling, it's getting more and more unruly! Do you want others to see it and ask for punishment?"
My mother asked you to come look for me?" Lin Jinyin told her not to go up, but Guiyuan came to pull her. What was she doing?
Guiyuan didn't notice the displeasure in Lin Jinrong's eyes at all, and just said stupidly: "No, it was the eldest lady who called the slave. The third lady called the old lady, she must be punished, you don't know the sixth lady
, how did the seventh girl arrange for you? You should go and tell the truth clearly. I'm afraid it will be a big problem if you are late."
How much trouble can a face-conscious old lady like the old lady bring to such an occasion? Besides, aren't there Lin Jinyin and her aunt here? My mother's temper is so bad that she doesn't make a fuss even after she suffers a loss? She stood there
It's been quiet downstairs for so long, how could there be any big event? Even after the incident, wasn't there still an old man sitting in charge? Lin Jinrong raised the corners of his lips, the eldest aunt was so busy that she just wanted to catch someone.
When I became a gunman, I could stab the second roommate on her behalf. I had experienced that experience and had seen through many things. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have just rushed upstairs without asking anything?
Seeing Lin Jinrong standing motionless with a half-smile but not a smile, Guiyuan felt anxious and confused: "Girl?"
Lin Jinrong covered her mouth with her hand and yawned gracefully: "I'm tired, I'll change my clothes and lie down. If you go back to the eldest wife, just say that I'm not feeling well and can't hold on any longer. Thank her for her kindness."
After throwing away the longan, he headed towards his own yard.
In such a grown-up life, how had she ever suffered such grievances from the fourth girl? Guiyuan saw Li Zhi following Lin Jinrong closely, leaving her standing here alone. She couldn't help but feel aggrieved and her eyes were red. After standing for a moment, she finally
Go upstairs to get back to the eldest lady and inquire about other news.
Lin Jinrong returned to the room, and was helped by Lizhi to change into a half-worn emerald-colored skirt. Then she sat on the couch and stretched out her feet to let Lizhi change into the soft shoes she wore in the room.
Lizhi took out a pair of bright red soft satin shoes embroidered with white plum blossoms, squatted in front of Lin Jinrong, and took off the royal blue satin hard-soled shoes embroidered with magnolia on her feet. When she touched Lin Jinrong's feet, she couldn't help but press them with her fingers.
One card wide - there is indeed something different. She has been serving the girl since she was a child. She even knows where there is a mole on the girl. She is very clear about these small changes, even better than Aunt Gui.
.
Where did this change come from? While pondering, Lychee quickly put on Lin Jinrong a pair of bright red and white plum soft satin shoes for home use. These were for home use, relatively loose, and they looked just right. She pondered, packed away the pair and changed them.
He was wearing sapphire blue hard-soled shoes and met Lin Jinrong's eyes as soon as he raised his eyes.
Lin Jinrong was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You stuck my foot just now, but did you find something wrong?"
This matter is not simple! Lychee's mind suddenly changed, and he nodded gently: "I look at you, the girl's feet seem to be fatter than before."
Lin Jinrong stood up and took out a Jianzhou rabbit hair cup from the tea bed beside him, poured the cold tea into it casually, and sipped gently: "So what?"
There was an indescribable coolness in her voice, and Lychee was a little at a loss for what to do. After a long while, she asked, "Did the girl put it on her own?"
Lin Jinrong raised her eyes and looked at Lychee, and said bluntly: "It's me. I'm not feeling well." She had her feet bound when she was a child, and because she didn't hurt her muscles or bones, she didn't feel much pain at first, but it still hurt over time, and she shed tears.
, Mrs. Tao and Aunt Gui both advised her: "This is what makes her look good. Let's see which popular girl doesn't bother her? Just be patient. Could it be that you want to be a big-footed girl?" Then she pointed to the side and watched the excitement.
Guiyuan and other girls said: "Look, they have no chance of tampering with her!"
Her mother would never harm her, and besides, everyone was like that. She endured it for more than ten years. Her feet were really pretty, small and exquisite, slender and beautiful, but she could only walk in small steps.
It hurt to walk, let alone run for her life. And later, she also saw girls from other places who were from similar backgrounds to her. There were also girls who didn't have their feet bound and could run as fast as possible. Why would she want to let those stinky men do it?
Why do you feel so good about yourself? Do it timidly for who to see? So the first thing she did after waking up was to put her feet away. Of course, Aunt Gui and Guiyuan couldn't let them know about it, but Litchi was different.
Besides, these changes can't be hidden from anyone but Lychee.

Well, since it is a local female rebirth text, and it is not from the Tang Dynasty or before, I have to talk about women's foot binding. Regarding foot binding, I checked the relevant information. The earliest rise of foot binding cannot be examined in detail, but it only became popular in the Song Dynasty.
It is true in later generations. And according to the information I found, in the early Song Dynasty, women's feet were bound so that they were straight and not bent, which was called getting on the horse quickly. It was different from the so-called three-inch golden lotus in later generations (discovered from archaeology
, the shoes were much larger than the later three-inch golden lotus). And at that time, women's foot binding was not generally accepted by society. It was only popular among the upper class and prostitutes. This beauty was not popular among ordinary women.
Because of the setting of the heroine’s identity and background, I will borrow it here (mainly because I can’t bear to see the photo of the real three-inch golden lotus). You can imagine a pair of slim and straight, and of course not too big.
For your feet, wear a pair of beautiful little shoes. Of course, those little shoes are not triangular, haha... and then, it is just a theory, not a professional archeology, so please forgive me for the inexhaustible details. (To be continued)
