Daozi was drinking tea and chatting with the two old Xiucai of the Wu family in the Moon Pavilion that day, but when he was enjoying himself, he got the news that the Xu family's subordinates came to ask for help, saying that a group of children surrounded the Xu family and forced the Xu family to bind their young lady's feet. The Xu family can't withstand the pressure.

The so-called Tongsheng, in the imperial examination system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, all scholars who practiced the profession, regardless of age, were called Tongsheng or Confucian children before they obtained the qualification of student (Xiucai).

However, it should be noted that children are not exactly the same as students who have not been admitted to Xiucai. According to the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, only students who have passed the two examinations of the county examination and the government examination can be called children, and only those who become children are eligible to participate in the college examination, and those with outstanding results can become talents.

Daozi's second uncle Wu Chengen and Daozi's enlightenment master Liu Xiucai were extremely shocked when they heard the news, and they didn't care about their age, so they scolded and said: "Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to yourself, if the sage teaches these children, have they learned to go to the dog's belly?" ”

"Bound feet, bound feet, did your mother and grandmother bind their feet, did your mother and grandmother and grandmother bind their feet?"

"These ......"

Wu Chengen's thoughts inherit the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism, and he strongly opposes this perverted foot-binding, which can also be reflected in his compilation of "Journey to the West". For example, the twelfth episode of "Guanyin Presents the Golden Cicada" satirizes the Guanyin monk who turns into men's clothes and is a perverted golden lotus lover.

What about Liu Xiucai? He was originally ignorant about the matter of binding feet, and thought that everyone was wrapped, and his daughter should also be wrapped, but that time he witnessed the miserable scene of his daughter after the peach was wrapped in her feet, and he cried all night in distress, and then gritted his teeth, and would rather his daughter not find a good husband's house than let her daughter be bound and suffer.

Now that Daozi advocates not binding his feet, of course he is fully supportive.

These two old Xiucai sang and scolded those troublesome children, but Daozi stood up very calmly, bowed to the second uncle Wu Chengen and the enlightenment master Liu Xiucai and said: I want to take Zhang Shipei and a group of Wu family members to relieve the siege of the Xu family.

Wu Chengen said to be careful with Daozi, and Liu Xiucai said to let him bring more people. Daozi agreed, and then took a group of "dog legs" who were scolded by those children as "extremely vicious" out of the house.

Daozi didn't know that as soon as he took someone out of the house, Uncle Wu hurriedly ran to Wu Dashan's house to report it. Wu Dashanren didn't say anything before and after listening to the matter, and continued to taste his tea.

Uncle Wu is in a hurry, this little young master will inevitably cause a big trouble when he goes out this time, and if he can't say it, he will poke a hole in the sky of Taicang Mansion, how should this be?

At this moment, even Uncle Wu, who followed Wu Dashan and traveled south and north, and was accustomed to seeing the world, was a little uneasy.

But his master is so calm now, does he already have an idea?

Uncle Wu speculated.

After a while, Wu Dashan put the teacup on the table and said to Uncle Wu: "Dao'er is just a child, and no matter how much noise there is, it is also a child." Although the Ming Dynasty is narrow-minded, it is not so narrow as to bully a boy, right? ”

Uncle Wu couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, why did he forget this? Also, the little master is only seven years old now, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, it is just "childlike words" and "boy nonsense". Whether it is the investigation from above or the restlessness of those literati below, it is just a sin of not being strict with the Wu family.

Wu Dashan touched the eaves of the teacup and finally said: "There is nothing in this world that money can't do, just in case, you should go to Suzhou Mansion to find our old friends."

When Uncle Wu heard Wu Dashan say that he was looking for our old friend, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in his heart that he was really in a hurry, as long as that person was there, it would be impossible for this Taicang Mansion to turn the sky upside down.

Uncle Wu had to leave in a hurry.

Wu Dashan closed his eyes and recuperated, like an old fisherman sitting in meditation.

The Xu family.

At this time, the children of the entire Taicang Mansion gathered in front of the Xu family, they sat quietly, raised their arms and chanted, and even threw stones at the Xu family.

And some of the people in Taicang Mansion are idle eggs, watching the excitement, not afraid of big things, and the people who eat melons one by one are almost sitting on a small bench and eating melon seeds at this time.

Although the Xu family is the home of the famous doctor in Taicang Mansion, it is not as powerful as the Wu Mansion, and in the face of these children, they can't beat or scold, for the sake of safety, they can only block the door and let everyone stay at home and not go out.

The reason why the Xu family, who asked the Wu family for help, was able to run out was because he climbed over the back wall and ran out while people were not paying attention.

Daozi came to the door of Xu's Mansion with a group of murderous spirits, and saw that there were three layers of surrounding inside and out, so he asked the four great King Kongs to drive people away, and then looked at the troublesome children and asked them to leave, otherwise they would break into the houses and gather people to make trouble and send them to the yamen for punishment.

Daozi's threat made many of these children frightened and were about to retreat, when one of the children puffed up his chest and shouted: "We are all saint and sage disciples, and we pay attention to Haoran righteousness, how can we be succumbed by the might of your people in the Wu Mansion?" ”

"Besides, we are defenders, for the sake of the etiquette of my Ming Dynasty, it is just"

"Since it is justice, the yamen must be on our side, and even today's saints must be on our side."

The sage in Tong Sheng's mouth naturally refers to the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very shameless, they not only seized the supreme title of secular power, but also robbed the most sacred title in people's hearts, saints!

Of course, it is not denied that the literati of the Ming Dynasty contributed to the troubles without discipline.

The boy was very talented in speech, and just a few words made the children angry. They followed and chanted: "Defend the Dao, defend justice!" ”

Daozi looked at these stupid children who were reading and reading, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to give them two feet and one ear, Taoism, is it Taoism to wrap his feet? This Dao system given by the sage? Is it Confucius or Mencius?

Daozi scolded, but after all, he was a child's voice and was not as high as the children who had already been crowned, and soon his counterattack was drowned in the crowd.

Zhang Shipei next to him shook his head secretly, and Liuqi jumped up and followed Daozi to scold and fight back, but they scolded until their throats smoked, and the onlookers didn't hear a word, they heard it clearly.

Daozi was really angry, he asked Zhang Shipei to grab the boy who took the lead, then pressed him down, took off his shoes, and asked the family to wrap his feet, saying, "Don't you like to wrap your feet?" Don't you like your Taoism? Come on, wrap his feet for Young Master Ben."

A group of wolf-like family members tore off Tong Sheng's belt, and then squeezed and wrapped it in his feet, and the ghost who was in pain immediately cried wolf.

This scene shocked everyone.

Looking at Tong Sheng's stunned eyes, Daozi sneered, he casually pointed at a Tong Sheng and said, "You, defend your foot-binding Dao system?" ”

When the boy saw the dead and alive classmate who was wrapped in pain by the Wu family, he took two steps back in fright, not daring to speak.
