Feng Shi was still smiling a moment ago, but suddenly his face changed, and he asked if he hadn't bound Gu Zhaoxi's feet. Xu Shuhua's heart sank slightly, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he explained in a good voice: "It hurts too much to bind her feet, Xi'er is very active, so we didn't wrap her."

Feng Shi was very dissatisfied with this answer, and rebuked, "What is this? Just because I'm afraid of pain, I don't pester? Have you done that? Aren't you harming children?"

When he said this, Xu Shuhua's expression stiffened slightly, and his smile faded: "Aunt Cousin, didn't she misunderstand something? Xi'er is the meat that fell from my body, how could I harm her? Foot binding on the left and right is just a trivial matter, and it doesn't affect anything if it is not entangled, how can it be as serious as you say."

Although there are a lot of foot binding phenomena at present, it is not very common, even if it is a woman from a rich family, it is not necessary to bind feet, Xu Shuhua did not bind her feet when she was a child.

But she once had a good friend with bound feet, and her feet were indeed smaller than ordinary women, but her movements were greatly restricted, and she would cry out for pain in her feet if she walked a little longer. When she took off her shoes, her feet were seriously deformed, which was shocking, leaving a lot of psychological shadows on Xu Shuhua, and she felt that foot binding was not a good thing.

Later, Xu Shuhua married into the Gu family, and found that not only was he not entangled, but Gu Yunqiao, Zheng Xiuyun and others were not bound to their feet, so they felt that foot binding was not very important, at most it was a personal choice. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, but the elders didn't mention it, and Gu Yunji didn't mention it, so she gradually forgot about it.

Hearing this, Feng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by not affecting? The impact is great! The most direct thing is to affect your daughter's future marriage, so that she may not be able to get married! Nowadays, men prefer small feet, and your daughter has a pair of heavenly feet, which in-law will want it in the future?"

said this, as if Gu Zhaoxi was an object, born to marry into another family.

Xu Shuhua didn't like it when she heard it, but Feng was an elder, so she couldn't refute it directly, so she picked up the teacup to cover it up, and said lightly, "Auntie, you said it too seriously. We didn't bind our feet back then, and now we are still doing well, have we ever encountered obstacles in our marriage?"

Fung stiffened his face and said, "It was back then, but now it's different, and it's only been the last two years since I learned about the change in the atmosphere. My granddaughter is 17 years old, and she just started to discuss marriage last year, and she fell in love with a family, and she was satisfied with all aspects, and she was about to settle down, but when they saw that our daughter was Tianzu, they immediately turned their faces and cut off contact, let alone get married."

"I didn't understand what was going on at the time, but when I asked around, I learned that men in many places now, especially us in Jiangnan, prefer women with bound feet. I think a pair of small feet are delicate and delicate, and big feet are vulgar, and I don't like women with natural feet."

Speaking of these, Feng's face was also ugly: "In recent years, all women who have wrapped their feet are better to marry than the other, and families who raise sons are rushing to ask for them. In vain, our Xu family is a scholarly family, and all the daughters in the family are beautiful and knowledgeable, but they were picked and picked because of a pair of heavenly feet, and they are left behind."

"My granddaughter can't help it, she's already over ten years old, and it's too late to pester. Your daughter is still young, and she must not be allowed to suffer this loss again, and while the child's bones are soft now, she will bind her feet early, and she will be spared many sufferings in the future."

Xu Shuhua frowned slightly when he heard this: "A few years ago, it was fine, it didn't matter if I didn't bind my feet, and I didn't see any daughter who couldn't marry because of Tianzu, how could it be so serious now?" Yunji's hometown is Songjiang Mansion, which is also located in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have never heard of the custom of binding feet prevailing here? How the hell did this get around?"

Feng Shi snorted lightly: "Who knows, once you pass on ten to hundred, when you see others like this, you want to learn." Don't talk about people, just say that my bastard's youngest son is a father himself, and he is itchy to see that someone has married a daughter-in-law with little feet, so he has to let us find him a concubine with little feet, otherwise the trouble will be endless, and it will not stop until he entered the door a few days ago."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua's chest suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't hold it down after pressing it several times, and finally couldn't help but say, "Even if other people's families are okay, how can our family be like this? This is an unhealthy trend, and if it hinders the marriage of my niece, we should strictly resist it."

"Our Xu family is a big Shaoxing family, as soon as we start this, it will attract thousands of people even more, and then the Tianzu woman will become a sin, and our daughter can't do it if she doesn't want to bind her feet."

If his son is no longer successful, he can say it himself, but others can't say it, not to mention that Xu Shuhua is still a junior.

Listening to the implicit interrogation in her words, Feng Shi collapsed his face and said coldly, "Are you blaming me for not disciplining my son effectively and conniving at this kind of atmosphere?"

Xu Shuhua was stunned, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The juniors don't dare."

is also the descendants of the Xu family, the long room and the second room are in stark contrast, the long house is scarce, but one is more promising than the other. Xu Chengyu will not say it, the official is the first assistant of the cabinet, and his son Xu Shujing is now serving in the household department, with increasing powers and a bright future.

Daughter Xu Shuhua also married a good family, Songjiang Gu is a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, her husband was a first-class tanhua back then, and now he is young, and he has achieved the prefect of the fourth grade. The second room occupies the name of a patriarch, but it is crushed by the long house, and it can't compare to others everywhere.

Feng Shi was already faintly uncomfortable in his heart, and when he saw that Xu Shuhua dared to question herself, she felt that she had taken advantage of her husband's family to go back to her mother's house to play prestige, so he immediately put on the shelf of an elder and reprimanded:

"I reminded you to bind your daughter's feet, it was also out of good intentions, you don't appreciate it, it's just that, you still count mine! Xu Shuhua, don't forget, no matter how well you marry, you are still surnamed Xu, this is your root!"

"What do you think you rely on to live well in the Gu family? It depends on Shaoxing Xu's! It's your mother's family who is supporting you! You are now hardened in your wings, and you think that your husband is the prefect of Shaoxing, and our Xu family has to live by looking at his face, so you don't take us seriously, right?"

Xu Shuhua didn't understand why he just said two wrong words, how could Feng Shi get so angry. The daughters of the Xu family are all in this house, and the daughter is also watching from the sidelines, and the Feng family is very serious, so it can be said that she didn't save face at all.

Xu Shuhua was extremely embarrassed, his pretty face turned white, red and white, and the nails in his sleeves unconsciously pinched into the flesh, and whispered, "I didn't ......"

"Dare to talk back!"

Feng's voice was fierce: "I am your elder, I reprimand you, you have to listen!" Your father is a big man, and it is inconvenient to raise a daughter, and it is impossible to take care of all aspects. In the end, it is different to have no mother since I was a child, and I have no mother's upbringing, and I have grown into this disrespectful appearance of my elders."

At the mention of her deceased mother, Xu Shuhua's face turned pale, a huge sense of humiliation and anger rose, her body trembled uncontrollably, hatred accumulated in her chest, and her emotions were on the verge of exploding.

"What's wrong Shuhua?"

At this time, a slightly hurried familiar voice sounded at the door, pulling Xu Shuhua's reason back. She looked up at the door, and when she saw her husband's figure, tears instantly filled her eyes: "Yunji ......"
