Su Yuejian thought that the matter of foot binding could not be delayed, so she went straight to her father. After all, she dared not fail to think carefully about her father's words.

The custom of foot binding has become increasingly popular among aristocratic circles recently.

Three-inch golden lotus is the symbol of sexiness. The girl whose feet are bound well will be more loved by her husband.

The aesthetic taste of this era is quite distorted. People like three-inch golden lotus and small clove-shaped breasts. They just like that!

Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!

It should be noted that during the foot binding process, the girl's foot bones would be forcibly twisted and deformed, causing constant severe pain.

After foot binding, the feet will become deformed, making it difficult to walk and severely restricting women's activities.

What’s more dangerous is that it may also cause necrosis and infection of the skin of the feet, and even cause osteomyelitis!

Illness will accompany you throughout your life.

Literary men and women love this so-called graceful and delicate gait that is not worthy of being dressed, and only her husband can see such a woman.

Because of their small feet, they could hardly even step out of the house without the support of others.

Su Yuejian still remembered reading an article that described women's feet from a male perspective, which was extremely exaggerated: the lotus feet dangled on the legs, the small socks were clean and white, the little toes were pointed and raised, as cute as the corners of a newly peeled white rice dumpling.

The naked lotus is white like jade, pink with a hint of red, fresh, tender and soft, just as tender as freshly peeled bamboo shoots.

Such a description has attracted countless literati to pursue it!

In the eyes of men, women with three-inch golden lotus feet are regarded as a symbol of sexiness. Sadly, many women in the harem will also join the CPU of their own daughters!

And actually?

You can imagine how your feet will smell if you bind your feet for a long time. Once the dirt and filth are ulcerated, infection is an inevitable fate!

Where is the beauty? A pair of human feet, forcibly bent into horse hooves!

"Daddy, what do you think about foot binding?"

"You are here to discuss Yao'er's foot binding, right? I heard from Madam that foot binding is very popular among all the noble families now. If you don't bind your feet, you may not be liked by your husband in the future."

"Daddy, Madam wants to bind Yao'er's feet, but I don't agree!

Foot binding would cause the feet to become deformed, and my sister would have to endure inhuman and severe pain for a long time. It would become very difficult for her to walk a little bit in the future, and she would almost be unable to walk.

Our family background means we won't have any trouble finding a good husband in the future, so there's no need to let my sister suffer this."

Su Yuzheng didn't expect that this matter would cause his daughter to have such strong resistance.

“ Men admire small feet, but do you know the torment women endure?

Put the four toes into the sole of the foot, and keep tightening them until the toes are completely dislocated. Push the little toe bone hard towards the inner edge of the sole of the foot! Then push the heel forward, press the instep downward, wrap it tightly front and back, and keep tightening it until the toes and heels are tightly attached, and the length of the foot is completely transformed into height!

A pair of deformed feet will become a lifelong shackle for a woman.

If you bind Yao'er's feet, you won't be able to see her smile for the next ten years!"

Su Yuzheng didn't expect foot binding to be so cruel!

When Su Yuzheng thought about his innocent little daughter having to suffer like this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

As a man, he had never known that the process of forming the so-called three-inch golden lotus in the back house was so cruel!

"Now that you mention it, Daddy doesn't want Yaoer to suffer like this!

In fact, my wife is reluctant to let him go, but she is also worried that it will be difficult for him to get married in the future."

"If your future husband marries your sister because of her small feet, and not because he loves her character, appearance and temperament, would you dare to marry your sister to such a man?

If you don't bind your feet and the other party is disgusted, then that's a good opportunity to screen out those sanctimonious hypocrites!

Even if there is really no noble family, it is not impossible to find a son-in-law for my sister.

Can’t our family afford to support my sister for her whole life?

If her marriage goes wrong in the future because of her natural feet, I will support her for the rest of her life!"

Su Yuzheng was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "I will discuss the matter of foot binding with my wife. What you said makes sense, and Daddy will listen to it."

Haoyuexuan

The cloth, gold and silver that the Concubine Dowager had previously rewarded had all been given to Nanny Qin and placed in Su Yuejian's small storehouse.

He picked half of them and kept them, and asked Su Quan to find a place to sell the rest for money.

Look at the girl in the yard, the clothes she wears are very thin.

This winter will still be very cold, so Su Yue waved her hand and asked Shaoyao to buy some cloth for the servants to wear and make some warm clothes in advance.

Some time ago, Su Yuejian asked Chunlan to go to the manager in charge of purchasing to find out which company supplies ducks, and then ask the other party to see if they can help save more duck down.

She takes whatever she can get, and when she works for you, she makes sure everyone has enough food and clothing.

Although the mansion would provide clothes for the servants every November, those were only for respectable servants.

The other servants made their own clothes with the little monthly salary they saved.

People like Qiuju and Dongmei were not given winter clothes, but they often had to go out with Su Yuejian as bodyguards, so they had to dress warmly.

That day, the deliveryman from outside delivered another truckload of duck down.

The duck down that was delivered last time has been processed by Chunlan and the others.

It must be cleaned and handled promptly every time, otherwise it will easily become moldy, rotten and have an unpleasant odor.

Some of the maids went to process the newly arrived duck down.

Su Yuejian led Nanny Qin and the others to make a duck down quilt, which could be covered with a quilt cover for easy washing.

Su Yuejian also taught them how to make down pillows and down jackets.

After it was finished, Su Yuejian gave a down jacket to Old Man Su.

I gave the old lady a down quilt and a down jacket.

I made two small quilts for each of my younger brother and sister, in the shape of pillows, embroidered with the cartoon characters of Su Yao and Su Xiao. They are unique and cute.

My wife gave me a down pillow as a gift.

Otherwise she would lose face and find fault with me again.

In addition, prepare a duck down quilt for Doctor Shen and Concubine Dowager.

In the small courtyard, after the maids had made things for Su Yuejian's own use and for gifts, they used the remaining materials, including down, cotton, and cotton cloth, to make cold-proof and warm clothes, vests, cotton-padded jackets, and quilts.

In the spacious courtyard, a group of hardworking maids were busy working.

These girls all know that only by making full use of existing materials can they make this winter comfortable.

To this end, they spared no effort.

They eat well, wear warm clothes, and they feel that being sold to a young lady is a blessing from heaven!

We have to work harder in the future. Only if the eldest lady is well, their future will be better and better.

Su Yao and Su Xiao simply couldn't put down the down pillows they received this time. They take them with them wherever they go and can put their hands in them to keep warm. It's not heavy at all and they can just open it when they want to sleep. It's so practical!

When Mrs. Lu received the down pillow, she was very disdainful and wanted to throw it away as usual.

But Liu Ma, her confidant, said, "My lady, you have always had trouble sleeping. This pillow looks very different. Why don't you try it? It might help you sleep better. People can be annoying, but things are innocent."

While comforting her, Nanny Liu massaged Lu's head.

Mrs. Lu took the step that the nanny handed to her and used it. Unexpectedly, she had a good sleep that night.

Su Yuzheng wore the down jacket made by her daughter under her court dress every day, so she no longer felt unbearably cold when she got up early.

Whenever a minister noticed his difference, they would ask curiously, "Lord Su, why aren't you cold?"

Whenever this happened, Su Yuzheng would reveal a proud look and say very proudly, "My daughter, a miracle doctor, made me a down jacket. It's very warm and there's nothing like it outside.

Even if it rains knives from the sky, you will still be warm! If you want it, go ask your daughter to do it!"
