In the dimly lit and cramped room, Wanxiang sat on a low stool in the costume of a maid and stretched her calves, and the red jade picked up the blood blisters on her feet in the dim light.

The subordinates are not qualified to bind their feet, because it is convenient to work. So after Wanxiang reluctantly wore Zhu Yao's embroidered shoes today, her toes had been squeezed out of many blood blisters, and her heels had been rubbed off a layer of skin by the hard ground because they had been exposed all the time, and blood was constantly dripping down at this time.

Wanxiang frowned, and her tears kept flowing down.

Hongyu's eyes were slightly red, and the hand holding the needle was trembling, and she choked and persuaded: "Wanxiang, why don't you tell the young lady tomorrow and say that you have been a maid for her all your life, okay? Miss Ming'er also said that she would help you find an old mother who bound her feet, you are so old now, and you know when Miss was bound to her feet, but how can you stand it at that time. ”

"Ruby, you don't have to worry about me. If you want to get what you want, it's worth the effort. Evening fragrance bit her lip, and the cold sweat on her forehead kept sliding down.

Hongyu lightened the movements under his hand and sighed slightly, individuals have their own fate, don't the masters of Baiyun Temple say that personal choices are actually predestined? Maybe this is Wanxiang's fate. I just hope that she will go out of the gate of this Zhu Mansion today, and she will not regret it in the future.

The next day, the front concierge brought over a sophisticated-looking mother. The mother was wearing a peach-colored slanted blouse, a pair of water-green pants, a red and bright silk flower on her hair, and when she smiled, she showed her ventilated front teeth, and the powder on her face seemed to be falling down.

Zhu Yao held a cup of tea in her hand, glanced at her casually, and a smile quickly appeared on her face, and she said quickly: "Girl, don't worry, my mother Liu is famous for wrapping her feet around here, and my wrapped feet are small and beautiful, and there is no one who has seen it who does not boast." The big girl at the grocery store on East Street is twelve years old this year, and she just asked me to wrap her feet. It turned out to be a pair of big feet like a fan, and now whoever sees it doesn't praise it, saying that my wife is well wrapped. It's also good that the girl knows and knows my mother's craftsmanship. ”

"Naturally, I called you here today to bind your feet, but it is not that I want to bind my feet, but someone else. What about this person, I'll ask the girl to take you to see it later. Just one point, I want to tell you ahead, this man is a little old, he is already fifteen years old this year, you go and see if you can wrap it. If you can't wrap it, I won't tell you to run for nothing. Zhu Yao took a sip of tea slowly and said slowly.

When Mother Liu heard this, she was afraid that Zhu Yao would regret it and run this business again. Hurriedly slapped his chest, and assured him with a stack of voices: "Keep it at ease, you can do it." ”

Zhu Yao lowered her head slightly and looked at her chest, always feeling that Liu's mother was patting her chest with an indescribable pain.

Hiss, Zhu Yao gasped silently, then turned his head and raised his chin slightly, and nodded at Hongyu. Hongyu bowed slightly, and then took Liu's mother to the room that Wanxiang had cleaned up separately.

Mother Liu followed Hongyu, her eyes searched around, and her mouth was not idle: "Oh, the garden of this Zhu Mansion is really big." It is said that the Zhu family is rich, and the old woman has opened her eyes today. Oh, you said that this garden, how many taels of silver do you have to buy it? ”

At the end, Liu's mother rolled her eyes, approached Hongyu and whispered: "Girl, I'll ask you about something." Is there really only two people in your Zhu Mansion, Master Zhu and Miss Zhu? Then Master Zhu has no plans to marry again? Although this girl is good, she can't be used as a son. When you grow up, you will get married sooner or later. After Master Zhu resigns in a hundred years, can this huge family business really be given to outsiders?"

Hongyu looked straight ahead without squinting, closed her mouth, and didn't pay any attention to her words.

Seeing that Hongyu didn't care about herself, Liu's mother made a fuss, so she pursed her lips and stopped talking, only her eyes were still looking around.

The room that was cleaned up separately for Wanxiang was renovated from the guest room, but even so, such an environment was much better than that of the next room.

When Hongyu took Liu's mother in, Wanxiang was sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting. After yesterday's blood bubble was picked up by Hongyu, it still hurts badly today, and Wanxiang didn't go to the ground in the morning, and even the breakfast was brought by Hongyu.

cleaned up the room for her alone, so naturally she had to have matching clothes and jewelry. Zhu Yao had already thought of this, so she asked Hongyu to pack a few clothes and jewelry that she hadn't worn early in the morning and send them to Wanxiang's room. At this time, Wanxiang was wearing a dress that Hongyu had brought her in the morning.

When Mother Liu first heard Zhu Yao say that the girl was old, she thought she was a child from a poor family, and she didn't want to wrap her feet when she was young, but now she has figured it out again. As a result, this is not the case at all. Look at the dress and style of the whole body, it is no worse than the eldest lady of the Zhu family.

The girl stretched out her foot and showed it to the old woman, and then the girl told her how much size she wanted to wrap it in. As long as you can endure hardship, even the three-inch golden lotus can be wrapped up for you. Liu's mother clapped her chest again.

Wanxiang was a little apprehensive in her heart, she naturally hoped that the younger the better. It's just that Liu Qingxin has just entered Shangjing now, and looking at his clothes, you can know that he has a family, if he is too small, it will be inconvenient to marry in the future. But if it is wrapped in a larger size, it loses its beauty.

For a while, Wan Xiang's heart was entangled.

Hongyu watched from the side, squirmed her mouth, and just wanted to persuade Wanxiang again, Wanxiang had already stretched out her foot, and said with a death-defying expression on her face: "Mom, you wrap me a little smaller, and wrap it according to the size of the three-inch golden lotus." ”

"You're crazy!" Ruby exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief. Three-inch golden lotus, that can only be wrapped by a few years old children who begin to wrap their feet, and now she is fifteen years old, where can she still wrap it.

"Mom, don't listen to her. You look at her feet first, you can wrap as small as you can, don't be too reluctant. I still have to do things in the future, and it's inconvenient to be too small. Hongyu opened her mouth to stop Liu's mother, who was about to act, and said categorically.

In Hongyu's opinion, Wanxiang was already dizzy at this time, and she didn't know what she was doing. When she sobers up later, she will definitely regret it. As a maid, where is it convenient to do things with little feet, it is better to wrap a little meaning.
