Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Little Foot Two
Back to Pingcheng.
Although the Gao family is wealthy, they are not as exaggerated as they are in modern TV dramas. Everyone is followed by several little girls, and there is a room of servants to serve.
Sprinkle and take care of flowers and a few old servants.
Lin Jinxiu used to have a maid to serve her at home, but she married into the Gao family, but she didn’t bring her over, she still stayed in the Lin family. The one who served her here was a girl who used to take care of the third young master, called Baoying.
“My name was taken by the third young master. I heard that it was two words taken from a poem by a great poet named Liu Yong.”
Looking at the shy and happy expression on Huoying’s face, Mercury thought to herself, this third-year high school master is really amorous, such a Gao Jiabaoyu.
Although there are a lot of young masters and young ladies in the family who are open-minded and love the new style, the old man and the lady are still old-fashioned people, and the girls still wear shiny and smooth braids and wear indecent coats and trousers.
Mercury opened the four-cornered cabinet and the cage, and pulled out Lin Jinxiu’s pile of clothes. They were old-fashioned and well-behaved. They were all robes and black dresses, with few bright colors. That is, the color of the apron is slightly brighter, and the patterns are embroidered carefully. The only bright color was hidden under the dark dress, daring not to be discovered, as if this woman had a deeply suppressed consciousness.
flat.
Mercury has no interest in dressing herself as a dignified old-time silhouette, discarding the bosom strips and old-fashioned black dresses, turning out a hibiscus-purple-trimmed jacket, a horse embroidered with irises of the same color After wearing the face skirt, I slowly moved to the dressing table and sat down.
Bao Ying leaned over to comb her hair, ready to tie all her hair tightly, make a big bun, and insert a bunch of jewelry. In order to look good, she had to pour a lot of hair oil on her head, in order to comb her hair shiny and shiny.
Mercury directly stopped Huoying’s movement, “I’ll do it myself.”
Huoying is very strange, “Does the third young lady not use this oil, the fragrance is very good, how can I comb my hair without oil?”
Mercury just shook her head. Different times have different aesthetics. She couldn’t stand having her hair so greasy and fragrant, tied so tightly that it seemed like it would tear her face off.
Lin Jinxiu has long black and soft hair, which is too long and even a little inconvenient. Mercury combed it for a long time before picking up the scissors.
Huoying was startled and stopped her: “Three young mistresses, you can’t cut your hair casually, and it’s a pity to cut such a good hair!”
“It’s a pity.” Baoying kept talking, it was a pity for the hair.
Mercury looked in the mirror, Lin Jinxiu was actually very good-looking, she had a pair of eyes like water, and she always looked very gentle when looking at others. It’s just that his forehead is slightly higher, and his hair is often pulled back completely and taut, making his face look a bit long.
Another pair of scissors, the mercury cut out the bangs and covered the forehead. She didn’t like Lin Jinxiu’s regular appearance.
After cutting the hair, pull out the eyebrow pencil and thrush. Lin Jinxiu’s habit is to draw her eyebrows slightly higher than the original eyebrows. The eyebrows are slender and curved, and the mercury is not. She prefers thicker eyebrows, which looks more neat and crisp. She drew her eyebrows, and found that Lin Jinxiu’s eyebrows in the mirror fit her eyebrows very well, and they looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Baoying was at a loss for words, and just kept asking: “Mr. Three, don’t you put on powder?” “Mr. Three, how do you put your hair in a bun with such short hair?” “The eyebrows of the third young lady are different from ours, but they are also very beautiful.”
This is a really good-looking face, Mercury felt a little interesting, and I didn’t plan to paint lips, but now I have changed my mind and deliberately painted full red lips.
Use a hairpin to casually coil up her hair, hook up the scattered hair on her temples, and tilt her mouth in front of Lin Jinxiu’s face in the mirror, Mercury whispered to herself, “You Want to see how I’m doing?”
She was going to see the rest of the Gao family. Originally, Gao Jialiang was going to go with her, but he didn’t know where to go for a long time. After finishing myself, I stepped on a pair of small feet and went to the front hall alone.
Her feet still hurt, but there was no pain in her face, and she just walked slowly.
Master Gao is tall and thin, the eldest wife has a cold face similar to that of her son, the third-year master, the second and third ladies are sitting on the side drinking tea and laughing in a low voice. The second young master and the second young grandmother were relatively silent and neither spoke to each other. There was also the youngest fifth young lady, standing there poking her head, as if waiting for the new sister-in-law to come.
“Hey, it’s coming, it’s coming, we just have to wait for a while when we get married, this is big enough.” The fifth young lady, who has always been close to his third brother, pouted. , the tone is full of hostility.
Mercury just heard this sentence when she arrived, smiled slightly, and said nonsense with confidence: “Little sister, this is not right, if it wasn’t for your third brother, I would have come here long ago.”
Fifth Miss Gao Jiayun rolled her eyes and folded her arms to attack her: “Then my third brother, why didn’t I come with you!”
Mercury: “I can’t wait for him, so I have to come first. Your third brother is ignorant, so I can’t follow him.”
Gao Jiayun: “You! Arguments, it’s clear that you don’t want my third brother to like him, so you don’t want to come with you, you forced him away!”
Master Gao frowned: “Jiayun, why are you talking to your third sister-in-law! Apologize soon!”
Gao Jiayun was reluctant, snorted, and said perfunctorily, “I’m outspoken, I can say anything if I have anything, third sister-in-law, don’t mind.”
Mercury: “Of course I don’t mind. Coincidentally, I am also a straight-hearted person. When we talk together in the future, no one will have to dislike anyone.”
The eldest lady couldn’t help but said: “Okay, what’s the quarrel. What’s the matter with you? You just got married yesterday and still look like you, how can you do this today, and your hair is not well combed! Who are you doing this for!” This was said to Mercury.
The eldest young master said at this time: “What’s the matter, I don’t think the third brother and sister are well dressed.”
The reason why the eldest lady dislikes Lin Jinxiu is not the same as her son. She dislikes Lin Jinxiu because Lin Jinxiu is three years older than Gao Jialiang. Later, there was no news of that family’s son running away from home. Lin Jinxiu dragged the eldest brother and couldn’t drag it on any longer. This marriage was over.
The eldest wife always felt that Lin Jinxiu’s life was not very good, and the Lin sisters marrying instead is to let them collect the **** and marry an old girl who no one wants. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lin Jinxiu has small feet and is an old-fashioned girl, she wouldn’t let her be married. But even if she was married, she was still upset.
She didn’t intend to have a good relationship with anyone here, she just got up and left after eating.
The eldest wife complained to Mr. Gao, “Look at what daughter-in-law you chose, she didn’t say she would serve her in-laws when she got married! Are there any rules!”
Master Gao waved his hand indifferently, “Okay, you have no shortage of people to serve you.” After that, he ignored the old wife and went directly to the study to read his ancient books, leaving the eldest wife alone The popular slap table.
Mercury went back to get the money and hired a car to go out.
The Lin family gave Lin Jinxiu a generous dowry. With such a large sum of money, Mercury first went to buy the clothes and shoes she liked for daily use, and bought the shoes of normal size, not that Plant apricot leaf shoes.
Seeing the life utensils she likes, she also buys a bunch of them to send back. In addition, she also buys some cakes. At this time, there are many more pastries and desserts than she imagined. Seeing that it was novel, she bought some and tried it out.
After shopping, she did another haircut.
The guest looked at a rich lady who looked like a college student.
Seeing a small-footed woman in a jacket and skirt from Mercury came in and said she wanted a perm, the boss was very surprised, and asked several times before confirming that she really wanted a perm.
Lin Jinxiu’s long hair was trimmed a little again, curled at the end of her hair, and it looked especially good when draped over her shoulders.
Several female guests who were also cutting their hair perm saw it, and whispered, “It looks so good with this perm!” “I also feel that I would have known that I would not have cut my hair so short, the perm What a beautiful curl like this.” A girl also touched her hair that was cut under her ears, a little annoyed.
Mercury left the barber shop and finally went to the pharmacy.
“You said you need to straighten your feet?” The doctor was surprised when he heard her request, and sincerely disagreed with her, and even scolded her in turn: “This foot is well wrapped, why is it? If you want to waste like this, aren’t you doing something stupid? How can you be worthy of your parents?”
Change to another pharmacy, just after Mercury finished speaking, the middle-aged doctor waved his hands repeatedly, “This is not good, this is not good, how can a woman’s feet be easily seen, I can’t do this.”
I don’t blame these doctors for refusing. For women at this time, feet are the third private sexual organ on the body. When washing feet at home, they must close the doors and windows and wash them secretly, and must not be seen. , Many people will not untie their tabi socks even if they sleep with their husbands in the same room.
That’s why nine out of ten doctors shook their heads when they heard this request. They didn’t dare to do such a thing, because they were afraid that their reputation would be ruined, or that the family members of the patients would come to ask for trouble.
Mercury asked several pharmacies in a row, and only one old doctor was willing to give her a straight foot.
“This is very painful, can you really bear it? Don’t think it’s an easy thing, how hard it was for you to bind your feet in the first place, now it will only be more painful and more difficult to straighten, and you can’t It’s completely back to normal.” The old doctor looked solemn.
Mercury: “Thank you, sir, I’ve thought about it.”
The old man looked at her for a while, and seeing that her eyes did not waver, he got up and grabbed a few packets of medicine for her, “Since you have made up your mind, I will not advise you to take this medicine. Go back, boil your feet and soak your feet in water for two days and come back to me to fix your feet.”
