Chapter Twenty-Five: Footbinding?
Just when Shuxuan was so bored that she was about to grow mushrooms at home, it was clear early in the morning, before dawn, and Shuxuan hadn't gotten up yet, Mrs. Liu came to Shuxuan's room, followed by a large group of maids, holding things in their hands and walked in.
Shuxuan thought strangely, did her mother prepare something for herself?
I brought it to myself so early, didn't I usually wait until I went to her room?
"Xuanxuan, it's time to get up, you're still sleeping so late." Mrs. Liu walked to the side of the bed and said while letting people serve Shuxuan to freshen up.
Shuxuan listened to Mrs. Liu's words, tilted her head and glanced out of the door, making sure it was still dark!
My mother, it's not dawn yet, and you're late! Do you have any misunderstanding of the word "late"?
Of course, Shuxuan only dared to think about this in her heart, and if she said it, she would have to face Mrs. Liu's tirade.
Don't look at Mrs. Liu's soft and weak appearance, but she is a character with typical feudal era thoughts.
So even if Mrs. Liu loves Shuxuan again, she is not relaxed at all about Shuxuan's rules, and she is not ordinary when she thinks of people.
When Shuxuan was a little older, there were some things that didn't understand the rules, she could catch Shuxuan and read to you in her gentle and gentle tone for a long time, until she confirmed that you really listened to her words, and she would let you go, Shuxuan was afraid of her.
So Shu Xuan usually wants to be a little cleaner, basically the rules she taught or something, Shu Xuan remembers it clearly, Shu Xuan's performance in front of her, it is all decent, there is no mistake.
"Alright, you guys bring the things."
Just as Shuxuan was getting dressed and about to put on her shoes, Mrs. Liu opened her mouth to stop her.
Hey? Is it time to give it to yourself?
Shuxuan only saw that Mrs. Liu picked up a long white cloth from the tray held by the little maid, walked to Shuxuan and squatted down.
Mrs. Liu held the cloth in one hand, and gently picked up Shuxuan's feet with the other, and wrapped the white cloth in her hand around Shuxuan's feet.
What is this for?
Shuxuan suddenly had a bad premonition!
Shu Xuan, who looked confused, looked at Mrs. Liu's series of movements, and the whole person was stunned, until a sharp pain came from her feet, which shocked her back to her senses.
"Ahh It hurts ......."
Shuxuan retracted her foot violently in pain, retreated to the bed, and looked at Mrs. Liu with a frightened face.
"Mother, what are you doing here? Xuanxuan is in pain. ”
"Xuanxuan, sit here, my mother will kiss for a while."
When Mrs. Liu saw Shuxuan retreating, she gently coaxed her, hoping that she could sit back obediently by herself.
"Don't, Xuanxuan will hurt."
After Shuxuan was shocked at first, she quickly figured it out, isn't this the foot-binding that prevailed in ancient times?
When I saw it on the Internet in my previous life, I also complained fiercely about this custom of mutilating a woman's health, but I didn't expect it to happen to me now!
I also blamed myself for having a too smooth life in the past, so many people in the house were bound to their feet, and I didn't even notice it, and I didn't think of a countermeasure earlier.
Now it's time to come, but there's no trick at all.
"Xuanxuan is good, be obedient, come over quickly, otherwise my mother will be angry."
At this time, Mrs. Liu was still there coaxing Shuxuan.
"Every beautiful girl has to wrap her feet, if Xuanxuan doesn't wrap it, she won't look good when she grows up."
Mrs. Liu was still talking there, and Shu Xuan looked at her like that, if she hadn't known what it meant to bind her feet, maybe she would have believed it.
It's good to have your feet wrapped, what kind of aesthetics do these people have?
I've seen the picture of the foot wrapping, and the whole foot is deformed, which is pretty good!
Shu Xuan looked at her mother's appearance, and knew that she would definitely not give up the idea of wrapping her feet so easily.
What to do?
If you are a modern person, you actually travel to ancient times and be bound by your feet, it will definitely be a lifetime of black history.
Moreover, he is still a cultivator, if he breaks the customs of this mortal world, it will really be a shame for the cultivator.
However, now his mind is full of the pictures of those foot-bound pictures he saw in his previous life, and he can't calm down at all to think of a reason to let his mother dispel this terrible thought.
No matter what, run away first!
"My mother is bad, bully Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan don't pay attention to my mother's kiss, woo woo woo woo ......"
Shuxuan, who couldn't think of a way for a while, could only pretend to be a child with a temper, crying, and quickly ran off the bed, pushed away the maid standing in front of her, and ran towards the door barefoot, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Miss......" The maids were pushed by Shuxuan, and no one came to stop her for a while.
"Xuanxuan, don't run." Mrs. Liu was so shocked by Shu Xuan's actions that she froze in place for a moment, and when she reacted, she couldn't see Shu Xuan's shadow anymore.
"Why are you still stunned, why don't you go and get the young lady back." Mrs. Liu didn't expect that her daughter, who is usually obedient and polite, would have such a big reaction to binding her feet, but now that the person is gone, it is better to find the person first.
So, the room full of maids and ladies all ran out to find someone, and the room was quiet again.
……
Behind a rockery in a garden, blocked by flowers, Shuxuan sat barefoot on the ground, holding her legs with her hands, her head was weakly on her knees, her hair was on her shoulders, and she looked ahead with empty eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Shuxuan was indeed confused, it was really too sudden this morning, and she was not mentally prepared at all, and now she has been running out for so long, and she still can't think of a good solution, so she can't keep hiding.
Now my mind is in a mess, how to find a way to solve it?
Or directly by force?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by Shu Xuan. This is his own family, and he can't use force.
Ay!
It's sad!
"Whew! Finally got rid of them, this day is late, annoying me! ”
Just when Shuxuan was still worried, a sweet child's voice sounded next to her.
Then, the flowers around him trembled, and a small body got behind the rockery.
The little man turned around and found that the place he usually came to was actually taken by someone today.
I didn't think that there would be two children in this place, who were staring at each other at this time, you look at me, I look at you, and then they were silent with a tacit understanding, and everyone stopped talking.
The person who came was Aunt Zhao's daughter, Liu Shuxue.
As soon as Shuxuan saw her, her eyes lit up.
