Chapter 21: Blessings and Misfortunes (1)

Lin Shenzhi's courage was already strong, his true nature was revealed, and he saluted to Mrs. Lin and the elders around him with a smile, and drilled into Mrs. Lin's arms familiarly, although Mrs. Lin was listening to Fuquan's whispered reply, but he didn't mean to push him out, and grabbed a green orange and handed it to Lin Shenzhi, and casually responded to the question of a guest next to him: "He is young, only five years old, and he has not yet been enlightened." ”

Lin Shenzhi blinked, gently pulled Old Lady Lin's sleeve, and whispered a few words in his ear, Old Lady Lin's eyes lit up, but his face showed a very stern look: "You didn't lie to me?" ”

Lin Shenzhi nodded confidently and swiped his hand a few times in the old lady's palm. The fourth sister asked him to find a way to let his grandfather know that he was already literate and well-behaved, and finally had a chance.

Old lady Lin had a bottom in her heart, so she stroked her beard: "Since this is the case, you can write your name and show it to me." ”

Don't look at Lin Shenzhi's young and stubborn age, but in the end, he was personally raised by Tao, and he learned calligraphy at a very young age, and this public appearance is dedented! Lin Yizhi's eyes darkened, he quietly sleeved his hands, and retracted behind Lin San's back, his head was slumped, but Lin San's master was a little interested: "Hey, Qilang is already literate and write?" ”

As soon as these words came out, some people looked at him strangely, didn't he, the father, know? Old lady Lin swept away a sharp gaze, so frightened that Third Master Lin shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak. Over there, Lin Shenzhi said a few words in a milky and modest voice: "It's pitiful, and it's unsightly." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

However, Lin Jinrong learned from Tao Fengtang that Shou Tao had passed the pass without danger, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, big cousin." As for the information related to Lu Xuan, she didn't hear it.

Tao Fengtang is nineteen years old this year, because he always follows Uncle Tao to run in the Zhuangzi, the shop, and the field all the year round, he looks strong and strong, and his skin is also a healthy wheat color, not at all white and weak like the men of the Lin family, and it is rare that he is cheerful and meticulous. He said in a low voice: "Even if your grandfather is suppressed here, others are only afraid of disobedience, and they will settle accounts with you afterwards, how will you be treated?" ”

Lin Jinrong smiled faintly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, as long as I don't implicate the little seventh brother, I'm nothing." "The worst outcome of what happened just now was that she was punished, but Lin Shenzhi might be able to get Mrs. Lin's personal upbringing! This is what she hopes for and needs most. Even if Tao wants to give the best to Lin Shenzhi, the upbringing of boys is inseparable from excellent male elders, and he can't count on his own fairy father.

Tao Fengtang said: "There are times when your teeth touch your tongue, and there will always be troubles in living at home, as long as you don't care about it, just think about it." He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I brought you all novelties, and there is a mezzanine under your sister's box, and you tell her ......."

Lin Jinrong laughed knowingly, but said, "I won't say it!" The eldest cousin particially hid good things for his sister, so that the elders would know, and we would all be punished! ”

Tao Fengtang was so ashamed that his ears were red, and he bowed and begged in a low voice: "It's just a pair of crystal hairpins, which I bought with the money I earned in this run." In the future, when my brother has more money, I will buy better ones for you and my seventh brother. ”

Lin Jinrong smiled slyly: "Big cousin! I'm risking my life, and you have to remember that you owe me a great favor! Don't beg you when the time comes, you're pushing back! "Next year is my aunt Wu's fortieth life, so I have to think of a trip to Cheongju, and then go to see what is going on in that field.

What can a little girl do to ask for herself? It's nothing more than eating and playing, although Tao Fengtang didn't care, but teased the little cousin to bargain: "Didn't I just listen to your help for the little seventh brother?" Why do I owe you a favor again? ”

Lin Jinrong snatched him and said, "Isn't that your seventh brother?" Can you help me? Hum! Big cousin! ”

"Yes, it's also my little seventh brother." Tao Fengtang smiled: "I haven't seen you for half a year, my teeth are sharp!" That's it, it's not good that I've been away for too long, so let's go, don't forget what I told you! ”

"Got it! I just forgot about myself, and I won't forget about you, big cousin! Lin Jinrong waved his hand to Tao Fengtang and watched him enter the building.

There is a cool breeze blowing from the ears, the bamboo forest is rattling, the music on the stage not far away, the chanting of the people, and the laughter in the theater are lingering from far and near, Lin Jinrong stopped and listened, and his face was calm. Look, she's not stupid, as long as she wants to do it, and if she's bolder, she can do it...... She must earn a lot of money in this life, she wants to be the person who is begged and relied on, and do what she wants to do as she wants, not the person who asks for people to rely on others, and she can't be free and autonomous in everything. Maybe the process will be difficult and long, but she always has her own purpose in life.

Seeing her standing still, Lychee didn't urge her, so she stopped behind her and stood quietly, looking down at Lin Jinrong's feet.

I don't know when it arose, everyone women are popular to wrap their feet straight, called "get on the horse", what they want is a straight and good-looking, the girls of the Lin family are naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and the four girls have a pair of very beautiful feet. But I don't know what's going on, the shoes on the girl's feet were made for today's banquet only a month ago, and the first time she put on her feet today, she looked at the width and seemed to be a little tight. If you want to say that when people grow up, their feet will also grow up, but a month's work is like this, which is a bit strange. Lychee couldn't make up her mind, should she tell Mama Gui about it.

The master and servant were in a daze, and Gui Yuan ran up from behind angrily and said, "My good girl, you still have the leisure to grind here slowly!" You can know how much the wife has been wronged for you and the Seventh Young Master! Then he went to pull Lin Jinrong's sleeve: "Let's go, let them see how much you have been wronged, what about the Seventh Young Master?" ”

Lin Jinrong glanced at Gui Yuan coldly, threw her hand holding her sleeve, and said lightly: "What are you talking about, grabbing and pulling, there are more and more rules!" Do you want people to see it, and ask for punishment? My mother asked you to come to me? Lin Jinyin told her not to go up, but Guiyuan ran to pull her, what is this going to do?

Gui Yuan didn't notice the displeasure in Lin Jinrong's eyes at all, and only said stupidly: "No, it was the eldest lady who called the slave maid to come." The third lady called the old lady, and she will inevitably be punished, you don't know how the sixth girl and the seventh girl arranged you, you hurry up and explain the facts clearly, I'm afraid it's a big deal if you're late. ”

On such an occasion, how far can a face-loving person like an old lady go? Besides, aren't there still Lin Jinyin and his aunt? My mother's temper, don't you make a big fuss when you suffer a loss? She has been standing downstairs for so long, and she has been quiet, how can there be any big deal? Even after the fact, isn't there still an old lady in charge? Lin Jinrong curled the corners of her lips, the eldest aunt was really idle, she wanted to be a gunman when she caught a random person, so that she could stab the second room for her, and she had experienced that experience and seen through many things, otherwise wouldn't she rush upstairs without asking?

Gui Yuan saw Lin Jinrong standing still with a smile on his face, anxious and puzzled: "Girl? ”

Lin Jinrong stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned elegantly: "I'm tired, I'll change my clothes and lie down." If you go back to the eldest wife, just say that I am unwell and can't support it, thank her for her kindness. He lost his longan and went in the direction of his yard.

I grew up so big, how could I have suffered such a grievance from the fourth girl? Gui Yuan watched Lychee follow Lin Jinrong step by step, leaving only himself standing here, and his eyes turned red with grievance. After standing for a moment, he went upstairs to reply to the eldest lady's words, and listened to other news without mentioning it.

Lin Jinrong went back to the room, and Lychee waited for him to change into a set of half-worn jade-colored skirts, and then sat down on the couch, stretching out his feet to let Lychee change into the soft shoes he wore in the room.

Lychee took out a pair of soft satin shoes embroidered with red and white plums, squatted in front of Lin Jinrong, took off the pair of royal blue satin hard-soled shoes embroidered with magnolia on her feet, touched Lin Jinrong's feet, and couldn't help but use her fingers to jam the width of a card - it was really a little different. She has served the girl since she was a child, and she even knows where there is a mole on the girl's body, and she knows these slight changes, even better than Mama Gui.

Where did this change come from? While pondering, Lychee quickly put on a pair of big red and white plum soft satin shoes for Lin Jinrong to wear at home, which is worn at home, relatively loose, and the wearing is just right. She groaned, packed up the pair of royal blue hard-soled shoes that she had changed, and met Lin Jinrong's eyes as soon as she raised her eyes.

Lin Jinrong was smiling on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You stuck my foot just now, but did you find something wrong?" ”

It's not easy! Lychee instantly changed her mind and nodded lightly: "Look, the girl's feet seem to be fatter than a few days ago." ”

Lin Jinrong got up and took a Jianzhou rabbit cup from the tea bed on the side, poured the cold tea into it at will, and sipped gently: "So what?" ”

There was an indescribable coolness in her voice, and Lychee was a little at a loss, and said for a long time: "Did the girl put it herself?" ”

Lin Jinrong raised his eyes to look at Lychee and said bluntly: "It's me." I'm not feeling well. When I was a child, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, so I didn't feel much pain at first, but it still hurt after a long time, she cried, Tao and Gui Mama persuaded her: "This is good-looking, see which woman is not entangled?" It's good to be patient. Do you want to be a bigfoot girl? He pointed to the longan and other girls who were watching the excitement on the side: "Look, they don't have this life if they want to entangle!" ”

Mother will never hurt her, and everyone is like this, she endured it, and she endured it for more than ten years, and her feet are really good-looking, small and exquisite, straight and beautiful, but she can only walk in broken steps, and it hurts to walk more, let alone run for her life. And later, she also saw girls from other places, who were from a similar background to her, and there were also girls who didn't bind their feet and ran fast and walked far, why did she wronged herself in order to make those stinky men feel good-looking? Who is it for? So the first thing she did when she woke up was put her foot down. Mama Gui and Gui Yuan can't let them know, but Lychee is different, besides, these changes can't be hidden from Lychee.

——*——Description——*——

Well, since it is a local female rebirth text, and it is not the Tang Dynasty and before, I have to talk about women's foot binding. Regarding the theory of foot binding, I checked the relevant information, and the rise of the earliest foot binding cannot be carefully examined, but it is true that it flourished in the Song Dynasty and became popular in later generations. According to the information I found, in the early Song Dynasty, women bound their feet to wrap their feet straight and not arched, which was called fast horses, which was different from the so-called three-inch golden lotus in later generations (from archaeological discoveries, the shoes were also much larger than the later three-inch golden lotus). And at that time, women's foot binding was not generally accepted by society, and was only popular in the upper class society and **, and ordinary women were not popular with this beauty.

Because of the setting of the heroine's identity background, I'll borrow it here (mainly to see a photo of the real three-inch golden lotus, and I can't stand it occasionally). You can imagine a pair of thin and straight, of course, not too big delicate little white feet, wearing a pair of beautiful little shoes, of course, the little shoes are not triangular, hehe...... And then, anyway, it's overhead, it's not a professional archaeology, and I apologize for the details.
