Pan Jinlian's eyes were filled with allure.
"If Brother Huan likes it, I'll wear this kind of bellyband too, so you can admire it to your heart's content..."
Li Huan's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm.
"I'll buy you a larger size tomorrow; this one doesn't fit you."
Pan Jinlian put down her underwear, looked around the bedroom, and then looked up at the air conditioner.
"What is that?"
Li Huan said, "Air conditioning."
"Air conditioning?" Pan Jinlian asked, puzzled.
Li Huan said, "It can blow out cool or hot air, thereby regulating the temperature of the indoor air."
Pan Jinlian understood, and with her delicate fingers raised, she pinched the collar of her dress.
"It's stuffy in here, let's blow out some cool air."
Li Huan picked up the remote control, and with a beep, turned on the air conditioner.
Soon, a cool breeze blew towards Pan Jinlian, surprising and delighting her.
"Such a wonderful thing exists in the world, even better than a fan! I no longer need to fear the scorching heat or the freezing cold!"
Li Huan took the opportunity to observe Pan Jinlian's upper body and estimate her bust size so he could buy her clothes the next day.
Then, Li Huan glanced at Pan Jinlian's small feet and frowned.
According to the customs of the Northern Song Dynasty, women had to bind their feet. When they reached marriageable age, the smaller a woman's feet were, the more likely she was to be favored by men.
Hu Sanniang was born in Hu Family Village and learned martial arts from a young age. She did not have her feet bound.
Pan Jinlian, on the other hand, had feet that resembled rice dumplings under her skirt.
Li Huan knew that if people in modern society saw Pan Jinlian's bound feet, they would definitely think she was a "monster" and despise her.
Therefore, Pan Jinlian could not wear high heels or sandals, but could only wear casual shoes and sneakers, and avoided exposing her "three-inch golden lotuses" in daily life.
Seeing Li Huan staring at her bound feet, Pan Jinlian blushed slightly.
"Why do you keep looking at my feet... could it be that you want to..."
Pan Jinlian was only halfway through her sentence when a foxy glint appeared in her eyes.
Li Huan shook his head and said truthfully, "In foreign countries, bound feet are considered ugly! Anyone who binds their feet is considered ugly!"
Pan Jinlian was shocked: "Heavens! Instead of valuing bound feet as beautiful, they are considered ugly. What am I to do?"
In desperation, she referred to herself as "this humble servant".
Li Huan comforted her, saying, "I'll buy you new shoes to cover your small feet."
Pan Jinlian hurriedly asked, "Is it possible to buy suitable shoes?"
Li Huan instructed, "Take off your shoes, I'll measure your small feet."
After saying that, Li Huan walked out of the bedroom and found a ruler in the cabinet in the living room.
Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang were still sitting on the sofa, looking at their phones.
"Li Lang, what are you busy with?" Sun Shangxiang asked.
Li Huan waved the ruler in his hand and laughed, "Let's measure Xiao Pan's feet."
He returned to the bedroom and saw Pan Jinlian sitting on the edge of the bed, looking shy and bashful.
"Why aren't you taking off your shoes yet? Hurry up!" Li Huan urged.
Pan Jinlian's face flushed red: "This servant...this servant cannot easily expose her feet..."
Li Huan grew impatient: "Stop calling me 'this servant'! If you say 'this servant' again, I'll send you back to Yanggu County!"
Pan Jinlian hurriedly said, "I dare not do it again, I won't do it anymore, I will never say that about me again!"
Li Huan said, "In foreign lands, women can freely show their feet, arms, and thighs without feeling ashamed; on the contrary, they are proud of it! Don't worry about it! Take off your shoes now!"
Pan Jinlian's beautiful eyes widened, thinking she had misheard.
"Showing off your thighs so casually?" Xiao Qiao's voice rang out from behind.
Li Huan turned around and saw Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang also entering the bedroom.
They became curious and came to watch Li Huan measure Pan Jinlian's feet with a ruler.
Li Huan said, "The customs of foreign lands are more open, and there are not as many restrictions on women. They advocate gender equality and value freedom, so people can dress more freely!"
After listening, Pan Jinlian hesitated for a moment before slowly taking off her shoes and socks.
"Wow! Your feet are so small!" Sun Shangxiang exclaimed.
Li Huan stared intently at it.
Although Pan Jinlian's feet were small, there were no obvious deformities.
This shows that the requirements and methods for foot binding among the common people in the Song Dynasty were far lower than those in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Pan Jinlian's feet do not appear twisted or deformed.
Li Huan measured with a ruler and found that Pan Jinlian's left and right feet were both about 16 centimeters long, which meant she could wear size 23 shoes.
This size is equivalent to children's shoes.
Li Huan decided to buy Pan Jinlian size 25 shoes, put insoles inside, and stuff some toilet paper in them.
Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Try on my shoes first."
She picked up a brand-new pair of casual shoes and handed them to Pan Jinlian.
Sun Shangxiang's shoe size is 28.
Pan Jinlian tactfully replied, "Your shoes are too big for me to wear."
Sun Shangxiang said, "See if you like them. If you are satisfied, you can ask Li Lang to buy you the same shoes, just a smaller size."
Pan Jinlian understood and immediately tried it on.
She stood up, took a few steps, and smiled broadly: "It looks absolutely beautiful, I love it!"
Xiao Qiao said, "I like it too, let me try it."
Li Huan said, "You don't need to try them on. Tomorrow I'll take you directly to the mall to buy shoes and clothes."
“I’ll go too!” Pan Jinlian said.
Li Huan advised, "Your feet are too small; you shouldn't show yourself in public for now, lest you become a laughingstock."
Pan Jinlian walked with small, quick steps.
She does look elegant when she walks slowly, but she looks comical when she walks fast.
Sun Shangxiang scrutinized Pan Jinlian again: "Li Lang, where does your friend come from? And why is he with Sister Xiao Qiao?"
Xiao Qiao said, "She was a woman from the Song Dynasty, nine hundred years in the future, a wealthy woman from Yanggu County, and the wife of Wu Dalang."
"The Song Dynasty? A wealthy woman? Wu Dalang?"
Sun Shangxiang was completely bewildered and couldn't understand a word of it.
Xiao Qiao said, "Mr. Li Huan's 'Light Escape Technique' can not only instantly change location, but also alter the date and dynasty. Shang Xiang, are you unaware of this?"
Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise, "Could it be that Li Lang used the 'Light Escape Technique' to take my sister to nine hundred years in the future, where she met Pan Lianlian?"
Xiao Qiao nodded: "Exactly!"
Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha... When did you become so witty, sister! Such absurd things can only fool children, I don't believe it!"
Pan Jinlian said, "What Xiao Qiao said is true, Li Huan is indeed..."
Li Huan raised his hand, interrupting Pan Jinlian: "Let's not discuss the matter of the light escape for now. I'll explain it to you in detail in a few days!"
"In short, everything in this foreign land is completely different from your original living environment! From now on, you need to work hard to adapt and learn as soon as possible."
They started learning as soon as they were told to.
Li Huan led Xiao Qiao and Pan Jinlian into the bathroom and began teaching them how to use the faucet, toilet, exhaust fan, and shower.
Witnessing Li Huan's demonstration, Xiao Qiao and Pan Jinlian could not believe their eyes; their souls were deeply shaken!
Li Huan asked with a smile, "Which of you two will take a bath and change first? Or, shall we take a bath together?"
