"Three-inch golden lotus, what does this mean?"

Wu Shan gritted his teeth and made enough mental preparations before he said the disgusting vulgarity.

"They call the wrapped feet 'lotus', and the feet of different sizes are different grades of 'lotus', larger than four inches is 'iron lotus', four inches are 'silver lotus', and three inches are 'golden lotus'."

"Shhh

All the women present couldn't help but pour out a cool breath, what kind of three-inch golden lotus is this? The difference is to break the feet of those girls, even if the fingers are injured on weekdays, it hurts very much, they all say that ten fingers are connected to the heart, aren't the toes a part of the human body? I can't imagine how much it hurts!

"No, to break off people's feet, and to break off good feet, isn't that a brain disease? What are they doing this for? Human hands and feet are born with size, what is the point of forcibly making them smaller? ”

Wu Shan's face is not very good-looking, he is a doctor, especially if he does not hurt others. What's more, those little girls are only five or six years old, what do they know? Their parents did it. It is really jaw-dropping that he can be so ruthless to his own daughter.

Especially when Wu Shan thought of the reasons why those people did this, even if it had been several years, he felt depressed in his heart.

"It is said that in the Jiangnan region, women bind their feet to make them look small and delicate, so that they can marry those high-ranking officials. Just like Ning Ning once said, if something is good at the top, it will be followed by the bottom, and the standard for those high-ranking officials and nobles to marry wives has become a small-footed woman. From top to bottom, gradually those days were just ordinary civilians or merchants, and such a fashion also emerged. ”

"Some people want to wrap the girls' feet and find them a dignitary to marry in the future, so that they can cling to it. And some parents are purely helpless, because everyone is bound feet, if they don't wrap, not only will they be criticized by the people around them, but more seriously, girls can't find their in-laws when they grow up, and they even call those women who have not bound their feet big-footed women. The people of those places have always been ashamed of big-footed women. ”

There are even many literati who write poems to praise the three-inch golden lotus of those women. What do you say, only a woman with a light posture like dancing in the palm of her hand is a good woman. ”

But what all the women present didn't understand was what was the beauty of such a small and exquisite illusion created by breaking off people's feet?

Wu An's face was very ugly, and she glanced back at her husband, who looked quite gentle.

"We're all women, so we don't understand why we broke the girls' feet just to make them look smaller. Xianggong, you are a man, do you know why? ”

You Sifang struck a clever blow and quickly shook his head. No, although he was a man, he did not despise this custom of foot binding. Who would like a deformed foot that has been destroyed? Those who like it must have something wrong with their head or something.

So he hurriedly explained to his wife.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law! You have to believe me, even though I'm a man, I don't like three-inch golden lotuses at all. Is it normal to have bad feet? In addition, if the woman's feet were really wrapped like that, how would she walk? Walking must be a pain in the heart. If they really love their daughters, then those parents and relatives will definitely not be willing to let their children suffer such a sin. ”

"Even so, I don't think it will look good after wrapping any three-inch golden lotus. Normal feet are the ones that look the best. ”

Boss You, a few adult men hurriedly shook their heads and denied it. They come from the heart, especially in families like them, because life is so poor, so the men have to go out to work every day, and the women have to take care of the housework and take care of the house. If the woman's feet are really entangled, and even walking becomes a problem, then how can you take care of everything at home?

They only pay attention to practicality, not to mention that it is not beautiful at all, as long as you think about how the toes and arches of those feet were broken, it feels terrible.

In fact, at this time, Ning Ning also felt strange, what was good after giving birth to a three-inch golden lotus? In addition, after breaking the toes and arches, wrapping them up with cloth and stuffing them into the shoes, it is bound to cause a peculiar smell because it is stuffy and not breathable. Could it be that those literati are particularly fond of the smell of foot odor?

Wouldn't they just smell themselves? Why do you have to smell someone else's?

"Grandfather, what will those women who have been wrapped in three-inch golden lotus look like when they grow up? Or why do those dignitaries like to marry women who have their feet tied? Do you like to see how they don't behave? ”

Wu Shan didn't understand this question either, after all, he was a normal man. In addition, the Wu clan and the Central Plains culture are still somewhat incompatible. Especially after the locals noticed his disgust for foot binding, they were extremely wary of him. So until the end, he didn't figure it out, this question had been pestering him for a long time, and it happened to be mentioned at this time, so he said it.

So the only person present who can answer this question is ......

Everyone silently turned their heads to look at Mr. Song, Mr. Song couldn't help but brush his beard, in fact, he wanted to find a crack to get into, these were indeed made by those so-called literati. And he, who was also a literati, was ashamed of this.

It's just that Mr. Song has never been a person who escapes problems, and after being mentally prepared at this time, he still speaks slowly.

"Let me show my attitude first, I don't like this so-called three-inch golden lotus at all."

The You family nodded, they never thought that Mr. would like this kind of thing, after all, Mr. Song is such an upright person.

Seeing that everyone trusted him, Mr. Song breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to recall the scenes he had seen before.

"When a woman has bound her feet, she will wear shoes of a particular character when she reaches adulthood. That kind of small shoes will make their feet look more beautiful. It's just that, because of the binding of feet since childhood, those women can't stand for a long time, can't run, can only move forward step by step, some people think that such a woman walks gracefully, with the beauty of lotus step by step. ”

Others say that women with bound feet will be more supple than those with heavenly feet. Because they believe that in the process of binding the feet, the bones that are broken are not only on the feet, but also on the backbone of the women. ”
