It was the first time for Concubine Mao to see the concubine so undisguised disgust, and she glanced at Concubine Mi with disgust: "Good and decent, what are you talking about these pickled things?" ”

Concubine Mi sneered.

Shu Jinxin said: It's those dog men who are pickled!

Shu Jin rubbed her eyebrows, she also knew that she couldn't manage this now, so she turned to say: "The emperor has exempted this year's draft, and Hongxin's marriage is afraid that it will take three years to come." ”

Hongxin was born in the first month of the fourth year of Yongzheng, and he is only fourteen and a half years old so far. It's like a playhouse.

Concubine Mi was relieved to see that the concubine was not angry with herself, and said: "Although I hope that he will start a family as soon as possible, but he is married, and no one will mention the matter of dividing the house." Alas, later, later. ”

Shu Jin smiled: "Good things are not afraid of being late. And do not be in a hurry to give him any concubines, lest he lose his temperament and refuse to concentrate on his studies. ”

Concubine Mi nodded and said, "This concubine understands. The fifth elder brother only had a trial marriage before he got married. It's time to ask Hongxin to follow and learn a little. ”

chattered a little more, and then the second concubine got up to say goodbye.

Lan Ruo's grandmother personally sent the two concubines out of the door of the palace of Laning, and when she returned to the palace, she saw that her mother had already handled the palace affairs in the study, and she couldn't help but feel relieved, so she took the pear soup from the hand of the palace maid and brought it in person.

Shu Jin took the soup and took a sip.

Mama Lan Ruo said in a low voice: "When did Niangniang dislike Han girls? ”

Shu Jin shook his head: "I just think that some men's habits are too disgusting." ”

Lan Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "How many of these Han girls are willing to bind their feet?" Who doesn't know that it hurts when it hurts themselves? But there is no way, I am forced by my parents, relatives, and even neighbors to be tortured like this.

Shu Jin saw the compassion in Lan Ruo's eyes, so he couldn't help but ask: "A girl with bound feet, can she really marry into a rich family when she grows up, and she can stretch out her hands for food and open her mouth?" For example, Sibeile's current concubine Su, although in her opinion, being a concubine is not a good way out, but for ordinary Han girls, it is already a very rare home.

Mama Lan Ruo smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The slave grew up in the ancestral house in the countryside, and he was used to seeing small-footed women washing and cooking, going up and down the mountain, and still having to do hard work. ”

Shu Jin's brows furrowed tightly: "Three-inch golden lotus, I can't even walk steadily, how can I do heavy work?" ”

Lan Ruo said, "Why can't you?" If you can't walk steadily, you will be on crutches, and if you can't do it, you will kneel and lie on your stomach! ”

Shu Jin only felt harsh and piercing when he heard it! If it is to marry high and live a good life, at least it is not a crime in vain! But where are there so many rich and noble families in this world, and where can they digest so many three-inch golden lotuses?!

Most of the women who bind their feet end up only marrying poor croppers, and they still have to face the loess with their backs to the sky!

Obviously, it is more convenient to have a pair of healthy feet and can do more physical work!!

But even if you understand this, there are still so many women who are forced to bind their feet.

Shu Jin had nowhere to vent her resentment in her heart, she had never thought that it was a glorious thing to cross into a concubine from Baoyi Banner before. But now it seems that she at least has a sound body and does not have to be crippled since she was a child!!

Shu Jin bit and said: "One day, this palace will completely abolish foot binding!" ”

Lan Ruo hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Niangniang, be quiet!" ”

Although foot binding is a woman's business, it is also a court matter! How can Niang Niang influence these now? Unless the fifth master ......

Lan Ruo's mother hurriedly said: "In fact, many parents and elders are not really willing to bind their daughters' feet, but they are afraid that their daughters will not be able to marry, and they are afraid that their girls will be called 'unruly' and 'dishonest'. ”

Shu Jin was furious and patted the case: "If you wrap your feet, you will be honest?" What kind of fallacy is this?! ”

"Oh my mother, just keep it quiet!" Lan Ruo bitterly comforted, "Women have been binding their feet for hundreds of years, and this is not the case in ancient times, and it is not unique to this dynasty." ”

Shu Jin snorted coldly: "Is it right to be like this in ancient times?" ”

Lan Ruo sighed and said, "The slave naturally hopes that one day all the women in the world will no longer have to bind their feet. As she spoke, Mama Lan Ruo smiled bitterly, "But this kind of thing has been banned many times in this dynasty, but it is still repeatedly banned." ”

Shu Jin was silent for a while, Chongde, Shunzhi, and Kangxi all had a ban on foot binding, especially in the early years of Kangxi, anyone who bound girls' feet, his father blamed forty boards and traveled thousands of miles.

It's a bit harsh, but in the end it's getting looser.

The reason, Shu Jin thinks, is still not strict enough! Otherwise, why can men's heads be shaved and their knees soft, there is no reason to waste foot binding.

Moreover, the upper ruling class of the Qing Dynasty gradually accepted this "habit", and in the later period of the Kangxi Dynasty, even Kang Mazi's harem had several small-footed female concubines! In this way, the ban on foot binding has become a dead letter!

Therefore, Si Baylor's habit is really perfectly inherited from his grandfather!

Fortunately, Yongzheng doesn't have this habit!

Although this guy's aesthetic taste for women is not much better.

"That's it, it's useless to say anything now." If you have that idle mind, let's hurry up and deal with the palace affairs, if you don't hurry up, it's going to be dark.

Looking at the piles of folds, Shu Jin's face was like a bitter gourd: "Lan Ruo~"

Mama Lan Ruo couldn't help but cover her heart, slave, I shouldn't talk to you about these things!

After asking again, Shu Jin stuffed the brush into Lan Ruo's hand, and picked up the big seal of the concubine himself, "You come to review, the palace will seal it!" ”

Lan Ruo: ......

An hour later, twilight had fallen.

Shu Jin finished a day's work, and the person was already crooked on the beauty couch, "Oh, I can exhaust the palace." ”

Lan Ruo's hands are stiff when she is rubbing her wrists, and the stamps can also tire you?? Why don't I believe it, slave?

"Hey, old man~" Shu Jin rubbed his old waist and let out a disease-free moan.

Mama Lan Ruo couldn't help but look directly at her mother's black sideburns, and then at herself reflected in the mirror - her sideburns had been mixed with silver threads.

The palace maid Moxiang had already sat on the pedal obediently, rubbed her back waist to her own mother who was tired and shouting old, and said sweetly: "If the mother's skin is condensed and her hair is dyed like ink, it is only twenty years old." ”

Shu Jin smiled and said, "You girl, your little mouth looks like honey!" ”

Mama Lan Ruo: Look, I'm glad of you!

"They are all going to be grandmothers, how young can they be?" Shu Jin is really a little sad.

"Alright, my concubine!" Mama Lan Ruo couldn't help but say, "Look at your appearance, how do you look like a person who wants to be a grandmother?" ”

Shu Jin: ?? Always feel like you're counting me down?
