Chapter 12: Growing Up 2
When Yin Fengyu was more than two months old, Yin Xu returned home. Yin Xu was very happy to see his two daughters. Perhaps Yin Xu liked Aunt Li very much, so he named Yin Fengyu Yin Zijin, which means "Green Zijin is in my heart forever."
The seventh girl was named Yin Ziniao. Zuo Si's "Ode to Wudu" said: "The green tent is full of fragrance, and the lady is graceful and elegant." It was also hoped that the seventh girl would be as light and weak as her mother, and grow up to be more gentle and virtuous.
At that time, Yin Xu also praised Zhang Shi specially. Yin Fengyu still remembers what Yin Xu said. Yin Xu happily said to Zhang Shi: "Thanks to you for bringing the sixth girl here to raise her. Li Shi was born in a brothel. Although I like her very much, she doesn't know how to raise a child.
Keep her by your side and teach her together with the Seventh Girl. The Sixth Girl will have a good future when she grows up. ”
Then he said to Zhang: "Don't worry, no matter how much I like Li, I will not favor my concubine over my wife."
At that time, Zhang was very proud and complacent, thinking that she had made the right move. In the days that followed, Zhang treated the concubines in the mansion very well, and treated her food, clothing and other expenses as well as the legitimate daughters. This was especially obvious to the sixth lady, Yin Zijin. On the surface, Zhang also treated her concubines very well.
From then on, Zhang appeared to be more virtuous than her husband to the inner chambers, but to the outside world, she always put her husband first in everything. So after two years in the capital, Zhang's reputation for virtue spread throughout the capital. She became a role model for the inner chambers women to learn from and an object of envy for them.
When Yin Fengyu was three years old, Yin Xu ascended to the position of the second assistant of the cabinet and became a favorite of the emperor. In addition, the virtuous concubine in the palace was Yin Xu's biological sister. From then on, the Yin family could be said to be extremely wealthy and prosperous.
When Yin Fengyu was five years old, the emperor gave Yin Xu the house of Princess Xianyang, who had passed away many years ago, in order to reward Yin Xu for his contribution in suppressing bandits.
And in the eighth year of Emperor Jing of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the end of the hour of Mao on July 27 was a good day to move into the new home.
At 2:45 pm, Yin Fengyu was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Nanny Zhou had already opened the purple gauze curtains on both sides of the bed, picked up Yin Fengyu, who was only five years old now, and said while changing her clothes: "Sixth Miss, wake up quickly. I told you before I went to sleep yesterday that we are moving to a new home today..."
Yin Fengyu was still in a daze at the moment. When she heard what Nanny Zhou said, she immediately woke up like a frightened bird.
Although Zhang was very good to Yin Fengyu, Yin Fengyu was still afraid of her during these five years! I was afraid that I would get hit accidentally.
Yin Fengyu looked out the window at the sky. It seemed to be only two quarters past three in the morning, which was only four or five in the morning. Yin Fengyu wanted to cry but had no tears. This was even earlier than when she was in junior high school...
At this time, Nanny Zhou had already taken off all of Yin Fengyu's clothes. Nanny Zhou took the bra from Xiaolan's hand and wrapped it around Yin Fengyu's chest layer by layer.
Yin Fengyu was hurt and came back to her senses. She said softly, "Madame Zhou, please be gentler. Zijin is in pain. And Zijin is only five years old. Does she have to start wearing a chest wrap?"
Nanny Zhou looked at Yin Zijin frowning slightly and felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but loosen her grip. After all, Yin Zijin was brought up by Nanny Zhou, and she had developed feelings for him. As long as it didn't touch on the most fundamental things, Nanny Zhou was still willing to pamper Yin Fengyu.
Nanny Zhou patiently explained: "Sixth Miss, it is normal to start binding your chest at the age of 5 in the Great Sheng Dynasty. Now that Sixth Miss has passed her 5th birthday, we should start preparing.
Men in the Great Sheng Dynasty liked flat chests, so they had to prepare to bind their chests in advance. The earlier they bound their chests and the tighter they bound them, the more obvious the effect would be. Otherwise, when the Sixth Girl got married, she would be disliked by her husband's family.
We will wait until Sixth Girl is six years old before binding her feet. We will do it one step at a time so that Sixth Girl will have some buffer time. ”
Yin Fengyu's body couldn't help but tremble, and she couldn't help thinking that she still couldn't escape this disaster. Within this year, she would have to think of a way to escape this disaster.
Yin Fengyu knew that she couldn't be like the ancient idol dramas in TV dramas and foolishly climb over the wall to escape. She was only five years old now, so small that there was nowhere to escape.
In the past five years, Yin Fengyu had hardly ever left Yimeyuan. Before she was two years old, she and Seventh Girl were raised in the partition of Zhang's bedroom. After she was two years old, Yin Fengyu and Seventh Girl moved to the second floor of the west wing of Yimeyuan. Their rooms were very close to each other, and they could walk to each other in just a few steps.
Yin Fengyu had almost never been outside the Yimei Courtyard. She was not familiar with the road, and she could not escape. She had also tried to ask Madam Zhou about the world outside the Yimei Courtyard, but was always blocked by Madam Zhou. When Yin Fengyu asked, Madam Zhou said, "Sixth Miss is still young. When she is six years old and has her feet bound, we will ask a teacher to come and teach her in person. Then Sixth Miss will know it naturally."
Yin Fengyu also secretly asked Ruhe, a personal maid who was of the same age as him, where there was a dog pen in the Yin Mansion, as he wanted to raise a puppy. And asked indirectly where the dog hole led to
