Chapter 21: Misfortune (1)

Chapter 21 Misfortune (1)
Lin Shenzhi's courage has been strengthened, his instincts are revealed, and he smiles and salutes Grandpa Lin and the elders around him round and round, and drills into Grandpa Lin's arms by himself, although Grandpa Lin is concentrating on listening to Fuquan's whispered reply , But didn't mean to push him out. He grabbed a green peeled orange and handed it to Lin Shenzhi. He also casually responded to a question from a guest next to him: "He is young, only five years old, and he has not been enlightened yet."
Lin Shenzhi blinked, and gently pulled the sleeve of the old man, then pressed him to his ear and said a few words softly. The old man's eyes lit up, but his face showed a very stern look: "You never lied to me? "
Lin Shenzhi nodded confidently and stroked his hand in the palm of the old man's palm. The fourth sister asked him to find a way to let his grandfather know that he was already literate, so behaved, and finally had a chance.
The old man Lin had a sense of it, so he stroked his beard: "If this is the case, you can write your name and show me."
Regardless of Lin Shenzhi's young age and stubbornness, but after all, Dow personally raised him, he learned the handwriting at a very young age, and this public appearance is Luding! Lin Yizhi's eyes darkened, and his hands were silently sleeved, before he retracted behind Master Lin San, his head slumped, but Master Lin San showed some interest: "Huh, Qilang is already literate and writing? "
As soon as this was said, someone looked at him strangely, could it be that he, the father, didn't know? Old Mrs. Lin swept a sharp gaze, and Mrs. Lin San shrank his neck in fright and dared not speak. Lin Shenzhi over there humbly said a few words: "It's so pitiful, it doesn't look anyone."
Everyone burst into laughter.
However, Lin Jinrong learned from Tao Fengtang that Shou Tao had passed the hurdle without any risk, so he let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, big cousin." As for the information related to Lu Yan, she took it all. did not hear it.
Tao Fengtang is nineteen years old this year. Because he always runs with Uncle Tao to the village, shop, and market, he grows sturdy, and his skin is also a healthy wheat color, not at all like the Lin family man. White and weak, the rare thing is that he is cheerful and meticulous. He whispered: "Even if your grandfather presses down here, other people are afraid of dissatisfaction. They will ask you to settle the account afterwards, what will you do?"
Lin Jinrong smiled faintly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a misfortune that cannot be avoided. As long as the little brother is not involved, I am nothing." The worst outcome of the incident just now was that she was punished, but Lin Shenzhi might suffer. Can be brought up personally by Mrs Lin! This is what she hopes and needs most. Even if Dow wants to give the best to Lin Shenzhi, the upbringing of boys is inseparable from outstanding male elders, and his own fairy father can't count on it.
Tao Fengtang said, "When my teeth touch my tongue, there will always be troubles in living at home. As long as you don't care about it, just think about it." He was silent for a moment and whispered: "I brought you all novelties. , There is a mezzanine under the box of your sister, you tell her..."
Lin Jinrong laughed knowingly, but said: "I won't tell you! The big cousin hides good things for her sister so that the elders will know that we will all be punished!"
Tao Fengtang was so embarrassed that his ears were red, and he bowed his hands and begged in a low voice, "It's just a pair of crystal hairpins. I bought them with the money I earned this time. When my brother has a lot of money in the future, I will give you and The seventh brother buys better."
Lin Jinrong smiled slyly: "Big cousin! I risked my life, you have to remember, you owe me a favor! Don't beg you when the time comes, and you will push three things!" Next year it will be aunt Wu. In his forty whole life, he had to go to Qingzhou for a while, and then mixed to see what was going on in that market.
What special things can a little girl ask for herself? It's nothing more than eating and playing. Although Tao Fengtang didn't care, he teased his little cousin to bargain: "Didn't I just listen to you and help the little brother? Why do you owe you favor?"
Lin Jinrong grabbed him and said, "That's not your seventh brother? You help me? Humph! Big cousin!"
"Yes, it's also my seventh brother." Tao Fengtang laughed: "I haven't seen you in half a year, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is sharp! No matter, it is not good for me to leave for too long. Let's go. Don't forget what I told you!"
"Got it! I even forgot about myself, my cousin, you!" Lin Jinrong and Tao Fengtang waved, and watched him enter the building.
There is a cool breeze blowing by the ears, the bamboo forest is rushing, not far away, the sound of music on the stage, the singing of actors, the laughter in the theater building, haunting from far and near, Lin Jinrong stops and listens. , His face was calm. See, she is not a fool, as long as she wants to do it, she can do it with courage... She must make a lot of money in her life, she will be the one to be asked and relied on, doing whatever she wants The person who does what he wants to do, instead of begging for others, cannot be free in everything. Maybe the process will be very difficult and long, but she always has her own life goal.
Seeing that she was standing still, Lychee didn't urge her, so he stopped behind her and stood quietly, looking down at Lin Jinrong's feet.
I don’t know when it started. It’s popular for women to wrap their feet straight. They call it "Hurry up." What they want is a slender and beautiful girl. Naturally, the girls of the Lin family are not exempt. One of the four girls is very beautiful. Feet. But somehow, these shoes on the girl's feet were made only a month ago for today's banquet. The first time she went on her feet today, she looked at the wide area and seemed a little tight. To say that when a person grows up, his feet will grow up, but this is the case for a month's work, which is a bit strange. Lychee was undecided whether to tell Mother Gui about this.
The master and servant were in a daze with their own thoughts, and Longan ran up from behind angrily and said: "My dear girl, because you still have a leisurely heart to grind here slowly! I know how much wronged my wife has been for you and the Seventh Young Master. !" Then he pulled Lin Jinrong's sleeve: "Go, let them see how much wrong you have suffered, how about Master Seven?"
Lin Jinrong glanced at Longan coldly, and slammed her hand holding her sleeve, and said indifferently: "What a bluff, grabbing and pulling, it's becoming more and more unruly! Are you trying to let people see you and ask for punishment? My mother asked you to come and find me?" Lin Jinyin told her not to go up, but Longan ran to tease her. What is this going to do?
Longan didn’t notice the displeasure in Lin Jinrong’s eyes. She only said stupidly,
No, it’s the old lady who called the slaves. The third lady called the old lady, and she must be punished. You don’t know that Miss Six How did the Seventh Girl arrange you? Hurry up and clarify the facts. I'm afraid it will be a bad event if you are late."
On such occasions, how can an old lady like a face-saving person make trouble? Besides, aren't Lin Jinyin and aunt still there? The temper of your own mother, won't you make a lot of trouble after a loss? She has been standing quietly downstairs for so long, so how can there be any major events? Even after the incident, isn't there still an old man sitting here? Lin Jinrong curled her lips, the elder mother was really idle and panicked, she wanted to be a gunman when she caught someone, so that she could stab her in the second room. It was also because she had experienced many things during that time, otherwise she would not ask. Did the green, red and white rush upstairs?
Seeing Lin Jinrong standing still with a smile, Longan was anxious and puzzled: "Girl?"
Lin Jinrong stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and yawned gracefully: "I'm tired, I change my clothes and lie down. If you go back to the big wife, you will say that I am unwell and can't support it. Thanks for her kindness." After losing the longan, he headed towards his yard.
Having grown up so much, how has he ever suffered such aggrievedness with the Four Girls? Longan watched Lychee follow Lin Jinrong closely, leaving her alone and standing here, her eyes were red because of grievance. After standing for a while, he went upstairs to return to the old lady's words, and listened to other news without mentioning.
Lin Jinrong went back to the room and replaced the half-old jade skirt with lychee, and then sat on the couch, letting lychee change into the soft shoes that he wore in the room.
Lychee took out a pair of big red soft satin shoes embroidered with white plums, squatted in front of Lin Jinrong, took off the royal blue satin hard-soled shoes with magnolia embroidered on her feet, touched Lin Jinrong's feet with her fingers, and couldn't help but use her fingers. The width of a card-it really is a little different. She has served the girl personally since she was a child, and she knew even where there was a mole on the girl's body, and she knew these slight changes more clearly, even better than Mother Gui.
Where does this change come from? Lychee was meditating, and quickly put on a pair of red and white plum soft satin shoes worn at home by Lin Jinrong. They were worn at home, relatively loose, and they were just right. She groaned, packed away the changed navy blue hard-soled shoes, and met Lin Jinrong's eyes as soon as she looked up.
Lin Jinrong was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You just stuck my foot, but did you find something wrong?"
This is not easy! Litchi's thoughts changed in an instant, and he nodded lightly: "The servant girl looks at her, the girl's feet seem to be fatter than the previous day."
Lin Jinrong got up and took a Jianzhou rabbit millet from the tea bed beside him, poured the cold tea into it at will, and sipped gently: "So what?"
There was an indescribable coolness in her voice, and the lychee was a bit at a loss. For a long time, she said: "Did the girl put it on her own?"
Lin Jinrong raised his eyes to look at the lychees and said straightforwardly: "It's me. I am uncomfortable." When I was a child, I tied my feet. Because I never hurt my muscles and bones, I didn't feel much pain at first, but after a long time it still hurts, and she shed tears. Dow and Ms. Gui both persuaded her: "This is the way to look good. See which other women don’t get involved? Just forbearance. Is it possible that you will be a bigfoot girl?" Pointed aside to watch the excitement. Longan and other girls: "Look, they won't live if they want to hang on!"
Mother will never harm her, and everyone else is like that. She endured it for more than ten years. Her feet are really nice, small and exquisite, slender and beautiful, but she can only walk in fragments when she starts. It hurts to walk, let alone escape. And later, she also saw girls from other places who were born similar to her. There were also girls who did not bind their feet and ran fast. Why did she feel wronged to make those stinky men look good? Who do you show timidly? So the first thing she did when she woke up was to let her feet go. Mother Gui and Longan couldn't let them know, but the lychees were different. Besides, these changes could not be concealed from the lychees.
Description
Well, since it is a local female rebirth essay, and it is not in the Tang Dynasty and before, I have to talk about women's foot binding. Regarding the theory of foot-binding, after checking relevant information, the earliest rise of foot-binding cannot be examined in detail, but it is true that it was popular in the Song Dynasty and popular in later generations. According to the information I have found, early Song Dynasty women’s feet bound their feet straight and not bowed. This is called quick horse riding, which is different from the so-called three-inch golden lotus in later generations (found from archaeology, shoes are also better than later ones. Three inches of golden lotus is much larger). At that time, women's foot binding was not generally accepted by the society, it was only popular among the upper class and prostitutes, and this beauty was not popular among ordinary women.
Because of the setting of the background of the heroine's identity, I will borrow it here (mainly because I see the real three-inch golden lotus photo, occasionally can't stand it). You can imagine it as a pair of thin, straight, and of course not too big, exquisite little white feet, wearing a pair of beautiful little shoes, of course the little shoes are not triangular, ha ha... and then, anyway, overhead, not professional archeology, Please forgive me for the incompleteness or details.
