Chapter 035: We Don't Bind Our Feet
Michiko was furious, he remembered the history of the persecution of women by foot binding, the deformed feet of women wrapped in the photos of the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the twisted feet of his deceased grandmother, his chest seemed to be boiled, and his eyes were full of fire.
Fuck you, Song Dynasty!
Daozi slammed his fist on the stone table, and Mei'er and Xing'er, who were waiting next to him, saw it and turned pale with fright.
The reason why Daozi scolded the Song Dynasty was because the Song Dynasty literati's advocacy of the "three-inch golden lotus" brought out the bad atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty gentry family.
Looking at Daozi's crazy appearance, Jiayi was very moved in her heart, and after a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, wiped away her tears and said: "Brother Daozi, my mother said that if I don't bind my feet, I won't be able to marry when I grow up, and I will go back to bind my feet." ”
"Brother Daozi, I'm just coming to see you......"
After saying the last sentence, Jiayi blushed with shame. Daozi looked at this little witch who was his childhood sweetheart, and then looked at the red and swollen feet, and shouted angrily: "Jiayi, let's not wrap our feet!" ”
Jiayi stared at him with big eyes in surprise when she heard Daozi's words: "Brother Daozi, if my mother said that if I don't bind my feet, I won't be able to marry in the future." ”
Hearing this, Daozi stood up, patted his chest and said, "I'll marry you!" ”
Yes? Brother Michiko!
The little witch Jiayi is blushing and her face is like a burning cloud. Mei'er and Xing'er in the pavilion were even more dumbfounded.
The reason why they were stunned was not because Michiko said that he wanted to marry Jiayi, but mainly because Michiko would not let Miss Jiayi bind her feet.
In this era, which daughter of a big family does not bind her feet? Those who don't bind their feet are sluts like them, and they have to stay without wrapping their feet because of their livelihood.
Daozi personally escorted Jiayi back to Xu's house, and told Dr. Xu that he would marry Jiayi in the future, but the premise was that she could not bind her feet, otherwise not only would he not marry Jiayi, but also the Wu and Xu families would break off contact from now on.
After the Xu family made a fuss, Daozi left in the carriage, and Dr. Xu didn't react at all, and when he woke up, he remembered Daozi's little adult appearance, and laughed.
However, because Daozi made such a fuss, Jiayi's footwrapping was gone. In the next few days, Daozi was afraid that the Xu family's thief would not die and resurrect, so he always went to the Xu family to find Jiayi to play if he was fine, but his intentions were self-evident.
Through Jiayi's incident, Daozi had a thought, he wanted to see what kind of situation the trend of foot-binding in the Ming Dynasty had sunk?
From the Xu family and his mother, Daozi learned a lot about the foot-binding of this era, which made him very angry.
He didn't notice the fashion of foot-binding in the Ming Dynasty before, and that was because Daozi's mother was Tianzu, and Daozi's maids and wives were also Tianzu. Later, he took it for granted that the foot-binding of the Ming Dynasty might just be a special phenomenon.
Some time ago, he went to the painting boat and saw the girl in the painting boat binding her feet, and he thought it was just to satisfy some people's special habits. Now he understands that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Jiangnan, it is simply a symbol of people's desired status, and it is no different from the trend of marrying girls to ask for sky-high bride prices in later generations.
This is the distortion of Cheng Zhu's scientific thoughts, this is the distortion of human nature, and this is the distortion of the values of the entire dynasty since the Song Dynasty!
It's sick!
To change.
Yes, change!
But how to change it?
Daozi thought in his heart, by the way, the "seventh son" Wang Shizhen!
A figure suddenly flashed in Michiko's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wang Shizhen is not only an advocate of Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties, but also the boss of this faction.
Daozi thought about this, his fists were clenched very tightly, and his eyes were extremely firm, he must worship Wang Shizhen's door, must.
In Taicang Mansion these days, people are talking about the topic of "Journey to the West" in addition to the Wu Family Grand Theater, which is Daozi saying that he should not bind the feet of Jiayi, the granddaughter of the Xu family.
This time, it was much more vigorous to open a grand theater with Daozi at the beginning, after all, opening a theater is a family affair, and at most he hates iron and steel. But this time is different, "no foot binding" is an impact on the values that everyone has formed for a long time.
Many Tongsheng Taoist priests, holding small flags, wanted to protest in front of the Wu Mansion, but they were frightened and fled by the vicious appearance of the four King Kongs of the Wu family and the dog raised by the Daozi.
The reason why these child guardians dared to do this was not unrelated to the Ma family's secret instigation and support.
Ma Wencai witnessed it through the "spy", although he knew that the Wu Family Grand Theater was a stage play instead of singing music, and his mood changed a little, but every time he saw so many people go to the Wu Family Grand Theater to watch a stage play, he was unhappy.
He came up with some bad ideas for Ma Hu, such as finding someone to watch a stage play and then causing a disturbance during the stage play.
It was only soon that these troublemakers were caught, the truth was exposed in person, and finally they were beaten half to death by the four great King Kongs of the Wu family and thrown into the river.
After Ma Wencai learned about it, he understood in his heart that this was the warning of the Wu family, you sing your song, I will play my play, our well water will not violate the river water, if there is a next time, it will not be half dead.
Regarding the Wu family's warning, although Ma Wencai was furious in his heart, he had no choice but to increase the plot leakage publicity of "Journey to the West" on the one hand, and on the other hand, he pitifully begged Liangxi people to perform a few more plays in Southeast Qing to bring customers back.
Not to mention that his initiative still works.
Although the southeast youth is not as overcrowded as before, as long as it is performed by Liangxi people, it must be full, except for the Wu Family Grand Theater when the new "Journey to the West" is updated.
But Ma Wencai didn't expect that another opportunity to fight the Wu family would come again, the little gentleman of the Wu family would not let Miss Xu family bind her feet, and she also swore that foot binding was an insult to women.
Marven was immediately happy when he heard the news, and asked the housekeeper to arrange for someone to agitate the matter in Taicang Mansion. Sure enough, his agitation had an effect, and some stupid and cute melon-eating masses who didn't know the truth were menacing to crusade against Daozi.
Every day, people in front of Daozi's house came to scold and ask Daozi to retract what he said before, but how could Daozi take it back. His answer was the Four King Kongs and his big yellow dog standing in front of the door.
Wu Dashan was like a mirror in his heart, he knew that the reason why the matter between his beloved son and Miss Xu was rumored this time was definitely related to the Ma family. So he also started to fight back.
After the Wu and Ma families, that is, the Grand Theater, another vigorous tearing began.
