Chapter 63 Foot Binding
When Yin Gui's words reached Yin Zijin's ears, his originally burning passion was like a basin of ice water poured over his head, and was instantly extinguished without a trace. He seemed to have lost the strength to support himself. His body relaxed involuntarily and his originally straight back bent slightly.
Yin Zijin couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Opening a clinic might not be a difficult task, but how easy is it to change women's deeply rooted feudal ideas? Since ancient times, women have been instilled with all kinds of outdated ideas. They have been bound by household chores and found it difficult to break free from the shackles of traditional ethics.
Those men even regard women as their own appendages, and exercise strict control and ruthless oppression over them. In such an environment, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task to make women truly awaken and take control of their own destiny.
However, despite the many difficulties ahead, Yin Zijin's pursuit of equality and justice has never faded...
Women in the Dasheng Dynasty obeyed their fathers at home, obeyed their husbands after marriage, and obeyed their sons after their husbands died. In a blind marriage, one can never make his or her own decisions.
Even in modern society, women have not achieved true and complete equality. Is it really possible for me, living in a prosperous dynasty?
It seems like he has figured something out! Yin Zijin's eyes gradually became firm, and he said with a smile: "Uncle San, how do you know it won't work if you don't try it? I believe everything depends on human effort."
Yin Gui said with some appreciation: "Okay, Zijin. Third uncle believes that success is in your hands. The fact that you can talk to me so much shows that Zijin is in good spirits now. But you also need to have a good rest. When Zijin starts to learn to read in the future, Third uncle has a gift for Zijin."
Yin Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, Third Uncle. Zijin is waiting for Third Uncle's gift."
As the two chatted, Yin Zijin became exhausted and fell into a heavy sleep. Seeing Yin Zijin fall asleep, Yin Guicai whispered: "Ruhe, take good care of the Sixth Miss. I will go back first. If anything happens to the Sixth Miss, come to the front yard to find me immediately."
Ruhe nodded, bowed and said, "Yes, Third Master. I will take care of the girl, don't worry!"
Early the next morning, Nanny Zhou brought the best foot-binding maid in the capital city into the Bizhuxuan. As soon as they entered Bizhu Pavilion, Nanny Zhou asked, "Xiaolan, what happened? Did the Sixth Miss fall asleep?"
Xiaolan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam Zhou. The medicine contains a sleeping pill. The Sixth Miss has fallen asleep and won't wake up. By the time her feet are wrapped, the Sixth Miss may not have woken up yet."
Inside the bed, the purple gauze curtain has been hung up, revealing the scene inside the bed. Nanny Zhou brought the foot-binding nanny into the bed.
Looking at Yin Zijin who was already sleeping soundly. The foot-binding nanny said in admiration: "Sixth Miss is really beautiful. Even when she is sick, she is still so beautiful. If you bind her feet again, after she reaches the age of 15, she will definitely be able to find a husband of her dreams.
Don’t worry, Ma’am Zhou! Leave the Sixth Miss to me, and I will definitely bind her feet into three-inch golden lotus. You have to know that in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the younger the Jin Lian'er was, the more respect she would get from her husband and the more likely she would marry into a good family. What's more, some families only looked at the size of their feet when choosing a wife, not her appearance. Aunt Zhou, is the hot water ready? ”
Madam Zhou said, "It's all ready. Miss Six, please help me."
The nanny took out Yin Zijin's white jade-like feet from the bed...
