Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 48

When Qin Shou returned home, the family had returned to calm. Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Xiaosong were busy setting up the tent. When they saw Qin Shou coming in, they immediately turned around and saluted, and continued to work. The ups and downs of life made Zhang Dacheng's family very nervous. Be cautious, for fear of making Qin Shou unhappy if you make a mistake.

"Brother." Seeing Qin Shou coming in, Dong'er yelled with a smile, put down the embroidery work in his hand, and greeted him.

Qin Shou was also happy, then smiled at Feng Xian'er who was standing beside Dong'er, and asked, "Are you still used to living here?"

"Well, it's not bad." Feng Xian'er replied softly, and secretly looked at Qin Shou. When she heard Qin Shou's story, she was also taken aback. The change was too great. No matter how tall a person is, it can make a huge change in a person.

"That's good. I still have things to do. I'll take you into the mountains to play when I'm done." Qin Shou said with a smile, looking at Feng Xian'er with his big eyes, full of youthfulness.

Feng Xian'er nodded, but was actually embarrassed by Qin Shou. She blushed, turned around and walked back to the room, not daring to face Qin Shou.

Hehe, Qin Shou chuckled twice, it seems that a female man also has a time when he is a little girl, Qin Shou stood in the yard holding his chin, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment!

"Brother." Dong'er yelled again, approaching Qin Shou with staggering steps, and whispered, "Brother, I heard that the Sun family is planning on you, you can't agree to it!"

"Understood, little housekeeper." Qin Shou pinched Dong'er's little nose, smiled and responded, his eyes suddenly fell on Dong'er's feet, and he asked in surprise, "Dong'er, what's wrong with your feet?" ?”

Hey, Dong'er smiled at Qin Shou uncomfortably, and said, "Aunt He came today, and she bound my little feet for me. I should have bound them when I was eight years old. At that time, our family was poor and we had to Work, so let's put it off until now."

Qin Shou felt pain in his egg when he heard it, he stretched out his hand to lift Dong'er from the ground, walked quickly to the chair and sat down, hugged Dong'er and asked softly, "Dong'er, do you want to bind your feet?"

Dong'er stared at Qin Shou for a long time, shook her head, pointed in the direction of the room and said, "Sister Xian'er didn't bind her feet, I think that's pretty good."

Well, Qin Shou nodded, he also thought it was pretty good, and said: "If you don't like it, then don't bother. If a man really likes you, he will like you even if your feet are as big as a bucket. If he doesn't like it, Even if it's wrapped into a three-inch golden lotus, it's still the same as a concubine."

"Brother also doesn't want you to bind your feet. If you bind your feet like that, it's hard to walk. If you encounter danger, you can't run without thinking. Let's not bind your feet, okay?"

Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Zhang listened to Qin Shou's bold remarks, their mouths turned into an O, and they couldn't help looking at their girls. Maybe they don't need to bind their feet. In fact, not every woman bound their feet in ancient times, and life at home was difficult. People don't bind their feet, and they still expect girls to work to earn money to help the family.

There are also some special people who don't need to bind their feet. These people are usually servants like maids who do things, so there is a misunderstanding that women with small feet can marry well. In fact, whether they marry well depends on the family. It has something to do with strength and not much to do with big feet or small feet. At least Qin Shou is confident that his two younger sisters will marry well.

"Brother, it's all up to you." Dong'er burst into laughter when she heard that there was no need to bind her feet. She lowered her head and pulled the wrappings on her feet. It was Mrs. Fu who moved quickly and stopped her first, and dutifully asked Qin again. Based on Shou and Dong'er's opinions, he took Dong'er back to the room and unraveled the cloth.

Not long after Dong'er entered, Feng Xian'er came out of the room with the expression of seeing an alien on her face, and shouted, "Wow, Qin Shou couldn't see that you are so nice, you would agree with your sister Do not bind my feet. You must know that I almost starved to death because of my hunger strike!"

Pfft, Qin Shou burst out laughing, this is the first time he heard someone go on a hunger strike in order not to bind their feet, so he couldn't help but look at Feng Xian'er's feet. According to Qin Shou's modern thinking, Feng Xian'er's feet are actually not too big , at most it looks like 37 yards.

It’s really not that big compared to those 39 and 40 yards. With the improvement of living conditions, not only the height of modern people is generally higher, but also the feet have grown a lot, but when the foot length of 37 yards appeared in ancient times, it meant changed.

"Look at what!" Feng Xian'er shrank her feet and scolded.

"I didn't see anything, my feet are good, haven't you heard someone say something? My mouth is full of food, my feet are walking everywhere!" Qin Shou explained with a smile, and Feng Xian'er's phoenix eyes widened.

She really has never heard of this, and this is the first time she has heard someone say that her feet are good. Even her mother was worried when she saw her feet, and worried that she would be bullied when she married, but Feng Xian'er didn't think so. When I saw my mother walking, I felt sorry for her, and wished I could walk for her behind my mother's back.

"Why, you still don't believe me, then you have to follow Brother Shou from now on, Brother Shou will take you around to appreciate different customs and customs, and see all the beautiful scenery in the world, okay?"

Feng Xian'er met Qin Shou's expectant eyes, and unexpectedly nodded and agreed. Qin Shou immediately burst into joy, his big mouth almost reached his ears, and he jumped up and shouted: "Xian'er, then we It's decided, you can't be foolish!"

"Hmph, I don't know how to be lazy!" Feng Xian'er raised her head proudly, her phoenix eyes shone with an inexplicable light, her heart was moved by Qin Shou's proposal.

Just when the fragrance of peach blossoms was exuding between Qin Shou and Feng Xian'er, Patriarch Sun's house became lively again. Mrs. Sun Liu knelt in front of Patriarch Sun and refused to get up. He insisted that Patriarch Sun send someone to Niutoushan to negotiate.

But Patriarch Sun is also in a dilemma. Who he can send, no one agrees with who he sends. Everyone knows how cruel the bandits on Niutoushan Mountain are. , How could she agree to let her man take risks.

If the patriarch Sun can't send anyone, Sun Liu will not get up. At this time, Sun Liu really regrets it. If he knew that going up the mountain to report the letter would end up like this, he would have stopped his man at that time. Now it's good, his man It's life and death, but Qin Shou's family is living a good life, no matter how you think or regret!
"Mr. Sun Liu, get up first. We'll discuss this matter later." Patriarch Sun sighed and persuaded again.

The patriarch's wife was not happy about it. They didn't do this, so why did they rely on their own family? They didn't leave at meal time, did they want to rely on their own family's food?He came out angrily and shouted: "Sun Liu, didn't you hear what the patriarch said? Do you want to rebel? If you are really capable, you can go up to Niutoushan by yourself!"

Patriarch Sun frowned unhappily when he heard his wife's words, but he didn't refute, because he really had nothing to do with Mrs. Sun and Liu. This bitch just knelt there, and he couldn't be beaten or scolded. Charged with bullying a woman.

The patriarch's wife saw that Mrs. Sun and Liu still didn't respond, she rolled her eyes, thought about it, and shouted loudly: "I don't think you should send anyone else, your family looks good to me, so let him go! "
