Xue Miao's cry was high and low, just like the tragic sound of Cai's imminent birth that night.

Jing Hao and Xue Ru listened to this terrible scream, and their scalps were numb with fright, and the embroidery needles trembled a few times, and a flower was crooked, so they had to disassemble and re-embroider.

The people in Xuzhou Mansion are all rich and noble ladies. There are very few girls in the township who have their feet tied, and they have to do daily work, and how can they have the strength to work in the field after their feet are tied. It's that when the girl grows up, she says that she is married, and her mother-in-law's family also looks to see if she can work in the field and get into the kitchen, instead of doing the work with a pair of trembling little feet, and she can't move it, and she goes to her mother-in-law's house to be the eldest lady.

Xuewa ran in, glued the crystal persimmon on the table, broke a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and pulled a handful of Xuejiao's sleeves: "I heard that Wu Yapo from the town came to wrap Sister Xuemiao's feet, and she cried so much, I heard it hurt, or let's go and see how the feet are wrapped and howl like this." ”

Chen Xuejiao was also curious, in her previous life, she had heard some old people say that foot binding was the most cruel torture to girls in the old days. A pair of feet are tightly wrapped with long strips of cloth to make the feet deformed and limit growth, and it is best to wrap them into three-inch nasturtiums. Foot wrapping is the growing foot bend and bend, so the age of foot wrapping is naturally the younger the better, the smaller the foot is softer and easier to wrap small, but too early to wrap the foot, and afraid that the foot will not walk after the foot is wrapped, and I am afraid that the age is too young to endure the pain, so the average rich lady begins to wrap her feet when she is four or five years old, until the bones are shaped in adulthood, and the cloth belt is untied, and Xue Miao is already twelve years old, at this age the foot bones have grown hard, and the mobility of the joint ligaments has disappeared. It's a little too cruel.

Chen Xuejiao got up and looked at the upper room, and Xue Miao's cries entered her ears one by one. A little hoarse, a little hesitant and helpless.

With a flick of her eyes, Xue Ru knew what she was thinking, wiped the embroidery needle in her hand, and whispered: "It's weird and scary, you better not look at it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Miao's heart-rending cry exploded with the sound of cups and saucers breaking. Chen Xuejiao and Xuewa couldn't suppress their curiosity, and slipped down from the kang. Wear embroidered cotton shoes. Straight to the upper room.

Ya Po had a fat face, and in winter she wore a carved silk dress embroidered with a hundred birds in magenta, and a smile on her face. Sit cross-legged on a stool and wrap Xue Miao's feet.

A pair of fat hands have great strength, and a long white cloth is sprinkled with broken porcelain pieces, wrapped in a layer and sprinkled with a layer. Zhao was still pressing his legs with his hands at first, but then he simply turned his back in distress. Xue Miao screamed in her throat. I don't have the strength to struggle, and my feet don't dance around. Pale with two lines of tears hanging from his face.

In addition to relying on a mouth, she also relies on a pair of hands. It is said that the rich ladies in the town, the ladies are all wrapped by her. Even the sister of Cuihualou is her foot.

Xue Miao cried hoarsely, blood oozed from her feet, and the entire footcloth was stained red.

Ya Pozi tightened Xue Miao's instep tightly. He knotted his footcloth and sat down to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "I'm tired." The young lady who wrapped her feet was not wrapped when she was young, and it was the first time she had met such a big girl. ”

Zhao helped Xue Miao to lie down, his eyes were full of pity, and when he heard the words of the tooth wife, he thanked him, gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't think about binding her feet when I was young, and now I don't know if it's too late." ”

Zhao has asked this several times, and he asked it again and again, lest Xue Miao will be disabled in the future, not to mention marrying a rich son, even ordinary croppers don't want to marry him.

Ya Pozi took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, bared her teeth and said with a smile: "If you want to say that my craftsmanship is not comparable to others, you can't even trust me, who else can you trust?" Originally, the child's bones were all long, but they were broken before wrapping. Rest assured, although it is not as big as the three-inch golden lotus wrapped in that size in the future, it will not grow a big foot, let alone a lame. ”

Break the bones and wrap them? Chen Xuejiao gasped, her eyes swept over Xue Miao's face and feet, and she only felt that her feet hurt as if they had been cut by a knife.

Zhao listened to Ya Po's words, thanked him again and again, opened the cabinet door, took out a ruler and a piece of broken silver from it and handed it to Ya Po.

"I've been wrapped up for so long, I'm thirsty." Ya Po smiled and took the ruler and the silver, and put it in her arms.

Xue Yao hurriedly brought the kettle and poured a cup of hot tea, she had learned the kung fu of waiting. He said softly to Ya Po: "The water has been tried, and it is not hot." "In Dingfu, I learned a set of kung fu on how to serve people, combed my hair, drew my eyebrows, dressed and took off my shoes, and even paid attention to the hot tea served.

Ya Po glanced at Xue Yao, and her eyes fell on her feet. Under a bright yellow peony red Bafuxiang skirt, a pair of pointed feet and new shoes with red silk are exposed, and a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water are embroidered on them. Because Xueyao entered Ding's Mansion as a second room, she could no longer wear red in the future, so she wore red clothes every day while she didn't go out.

"Hey, this is Xue Yao, it's grown so big, look at the water spirit that falls." Ya Po's eyes were glued to Xue Yao's pair of pointed feet, and she took a sip of tea, which was the old gentleman's eyebrows brought by Xue Yao from Ding Mansion, and she was full of comfort when she took a sip.

Xue Yao pursed her lips and smiled with joy. At that time, Xue Yao entered Ding's Mansion or passed the line of Guò Yapo, Yapo not only ate in Baitu Town, but also climbed up to several housekeepers of rich and noble families in Xuzhou Mansion.

She often walks in the rich house of Xuzhou Mansion, although she has made progress in the second door, but the door is still clear, and she has eaten a few times with the gatehouse, and she has found out the secrets of each family. Xueyao wants to enter Ding's Mansion as a second room in February, she knows the first one, although she is a concubine, but a family like the Chen family, one has no fame, and the other has no family support, such a daughter's family can be a room is the master's family, but I didn't think that this girl grabbed the hearts of Uncle Dingfu and the old lady of Dingfu, and soon she would wear a red hijab and enter the door as a second room.

"I heard that I entered the Ding Mansion in February, and that is a serious grandmother's seat. Look at this appearance, this all-round style can't be compared to even ordinary young ladies. Ya Po is used to stammering people, wiping honey with one mouth, holding Xue Yao's hand and boasting left and right, "When you entered the Ding Mansion, there were so many girls, I saw that you were a blessed person, with a round face and a pointed chin, isn't it a blessing." ”

Zhao listened to Ya Po's flattery one by one, and his heart was as sweet as eating a honeydew melon. Outsiders heard that Xue Yao was going to marry into Dingfu, but those who didn't know said that they were serious grandmothers; Those who know are secretly scolding their daughters behind their backs to be concubines. She always responded in her heart, and after listening to Ya Po's words, her heart was stable and full of anger.

Mrs. Chen had just woken up from a nap, and when she heard Ya Po flattering Xue Yao, she felt as if she had found a soulmate, and went into the house and pulled her hand.

At this time, the voice of the merchant outside remembered again.

Xue Miao's originally pale face suddenly turned bloody, and a pair of big eyes full of tears were full of brilliance. At this time, she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly out to see the lover.

Chen Xuejiao was facing her and could see the expression on her face clearly. Zhao was chatting with Ya Po and didn't notice Xue Miao. Xue Jiao thought, could it be that the Zhao family found out that the fluctuation between Xue Miao and the merchant, in order to stifle the relationship between the two, deliberately wanted to make such a foot binding, Xue Miao is old and this foot can recover once it is not ten days and a half months, it will take a year and a half to walk on the ground.

In this way, how can she go out to meet the merchant, and the merchant will not see her come out, and it is estimated that this relationship will be dissolved.

Sure enough, the merchant came a few times and didn't see Xue Miao's shadow, and he didn't appear at the door of Chen's house, which caused the little daughter-in-law and eldest girl in the village to sigh behind her back: "I will go to the town to buy rouge gouache again in the future." ”

Xue Miao's feet were no longer bleeding, she limped into the yard, the wound involved in walking was heartbreaking, and she couldn't help but squat on the ground and cry, Zhao was distressed but put her into the house, never let her go out again, and persuaded her: "It's good to get through this for a while." ”

Jing Hao hurriedly and hurriedly finished Xue Yao's wedding dress, and she shook it off to show Xue Jiao and Xue Ru.

A double-layered large-sleeved shirt with pink python dark flowers and gold silk, embroidered with a mandarin duck pomegranate pattern on the edges, and a red gold ruby collar buckle on the chest. Covered with a pink double peony embroidered cloud and gold tassels, the peacock seems to be coming to life. Peach satin color embroidered into a double flower and bird twelve pieces of immortal skirt, the skirt embroidered with a hundred sons and a hundred blessings pattern, the long hem of the tail skirt dragged to the ground three feet, the edge of the gold wire embellishment, on each side of each blooming lotus flower, inlaid with colorful pearls. This wedding dress is spread on the kang, and it only feels dazzling, but unfortunately it is not red.

Xue Jiao couldn't help but praise Jing's good craftsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated, such a wedding dress is embroidered outside, and the minimum is a hundred taels of silver, and there may not be such craftsmanship. It's just that it's too much work, and Jinghao's eyes are red.

Xue Jiao and Jing Hao came to Xue Yao's room with the wedding dress together, Xue Yao looked at the wedding dress and nodded slightly, put it aside, and reluctantly smiled and invited the two sisters to tea, and the two of them refused politely when they saw her like this.

"Is it that my cousin is dissatisfied with the wedding dress I embroidered." Jinghao frowned. She is now a professional embroiderer, and she is most afraid that the guests will not be satisfied with her embroidery.

Chen Xuejiao shook her head and comforted her: "Maybe the pink wedding dress touched her heart." ”

Xue Yao spread the wedding dress on the kang, if the wedding dress was red, what a beautiful scenery it would be to wear.

She clenched her nails tightly, and her heart felt cold. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Uncle Ding came to Baitu Town to select the Ice Lantern Fairy, and she asked Qi Lin to deliver him a letter, but Qi Lin did not find him.

When Qi Lin went to the White Horse Academy to study, he took the time to inquire about the second gate of the Ding Mansion, and the uncle of the Ding Mansion fell in love with a sister who should be selected as the Ice Lantern Fairy, and carried him into the door to be a concubine.

Xue Yao received Qi Lin's letter, her heart was full of fire, she knew that she didn't want the vanity of going home to get married, and simply kowtowed to the Ding Mansion as a second room. Now that a fresh and tender person has arrived in Dingfu, Uncle Dingfu is that sex again, who knows if he will leave her behind when she passes the door in February. (To be continued)
