Chapter 20: Rourou
These things, he can still recognize, that is, an incense burner, when he reads, isn't there a joke that "the sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke", Li Bai Li Shixian's wife is called Zhao Xianglu, and her daughter is called Ziyan.
He was surnamed Li, so he naturally knew this, because at that time, because he was also surnamed Li, and at the same time sat with the representative of the Chinese class, the girl was also surnamed Zhao, so she was called Li Bai and Zhao Xianglu......
Of course, after the college entrance examination that year, Li Xiangqian was admitted to the military academy, and the class representative went to a liberal arts university in the imperial capital, and the two were separated, and they never met again......
The incense burner seemed to be very old, and the design was very exquisite, and a girl who was not very old and had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes walked over step by step, first serving tea for herself, although she didn't know what kind of tea it was, but it was very good, and then she blessed it, turned around and walked to the incense burner, and lit it with a flint, wanting to ignite something.
"Poof...... Poof...... "After a few hits, only some sparks can appear, but they can't be hit, from the side, Li Xiangqian suddenly saw that the girl's face was flushed, her cheeks were slightly sweaty, and when she just came in, her steps were also very wrong, and her heart moved, so she stood up and walked behind her.
When the girl heard the voice, she seemed to be frightened, put her hands in front of her, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't blame me, the weather is humid these days, and this flint is already a little difficult, so the slave family will get it right." ”
The old society really turned people into ghosts, this girl is the age of a primary school student, about the age of the fifth grade, but the frightened eyes made the expression very frightened, so thin, he sighed and said, "I'll just come." ”
He doesn't smoke, and has quit smoking since he decided to work on the passenger ship all day long, but in the emergency kit, there are all kinds of things, and a small electronic lighter is also there, which is the standard on the ship, and with a very easy press, he jumped out of the spark, and then took the sandalwood handed by the little girl, lit it, threw it into the incense burner, and then said with a smile: "That's it." ”
The little girl looked down and said, "Thank you, master, the slave has taken her leave." ”
"Wait a minute," Li Xiangqian said suddenly, walked behind, lifted the girl's skirt, and said, "What's the matter with your feet." ”
He had already noticed that as soon as the little girl entered the door, her steps were very unsteady, and sure enough, as soon as she pulled away, there were small feet wrapped in cloth below, and the shoes were very weird shapes.
On both feet, it can already be seen that it is disproportionate, and there is already a part, which should be the part of the toe, which has been bent to the center of the foot, and it is very deformed.
It's really foot-binding, Li Xiangqian didn't know how to be good for a while, this foot-binding thing, Kang Youwei almost used up all his energy at the beginning, and even his daughter was almost forced to bind his feet by the ignorant hometown, it can be seen how ignorance is, according to the original plan of the Presbyterian Church, this kind of feudal bad habit, naturally after grasping the power, take your time to do it, you know, from 1894, people of insight realized that foot binding must be stopped, and it was not until 1949 that the real Celestial Empire was put on the right track before the abolition of foot binding, which shows the difficulty of change.
In their eyes, how beautiful it is, is actually completely pathological, and for a group of weak scholars who never exercise, they may not be able to beat men, and may not be able to subdue a woman, but a woman who binds her feet can be suppressed and satisfy their desire to vent.
Shaking his head, he suddenly realized that the girl was frightened, so he immediately let go and said, "It's okay, do you want to sit down and rest." ”
The little girl did not dare to answer, and said, "The slave and maid have retired." ”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Rourou, are you disturbing the guest officer again, lock it out, and see how I punish you!" ”
Li Xiangqian squinted his eyes, it was one thing to be patient, and it was another thing to hit someone in front of him, so he said, "This ...... Auntie, I think this girl is smart and lovely, so what if you ask a few words? ”
The old bustard looked nearly forty years old, wearing a satin skirt, a white jacket, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry on his head, the face of the middle-aged woman was slightly fat, and she could still see the beauty of her youth, with a thick fat powder on her face, which just covered the skin that had begun to loosen and yellow, and her lips were very bright red in color, a little kitsch, but at least it could not be said to be ugly.
However, she spoke very meritistically: "This son, although you commanded, it's just that this little girl has just entered my yard, and she doesn't understand the rules, and her body hasn't grown, so I'm afraid that I can't comb it and serve the son." ”
What do you think you are! However, Li Xiangqian confirmed one more thing, this bustard's words are so skillful, obviously, many of the prostitutes who come here have tried to a girl of this age, and were so carelessly blocked back by the bustard, of course, just looking at her eager eyes, obviously, if he takes out a gold nugget, it is enough for this bustard to be willing to provide this "combing" service.
Combing, that is, the first time to pick up a guest to stay overnight, the virgin in the brothel only combs, and combs the bun after picking up customers, called "combing", recall, Bian Yujing, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun have not yet been combed, so they hold their braids and use hairpins as ornaments.
There was a slight anger in his heart, but he tried to tell himself that if he wanted to be a politician, a pioneer of the generation of national founders, then he could not be angry just for this kind of thing, but should spend his energy on saving thousands of people who had the same fate as this little girl.
Well, her name is Rourou, right, Li Xiangqian listened to the old bustard's words, didn't pay attention, but returned to his seat, ignored her, and said, "Rourou, come and help me pour tea." ”
He simply tasted the tea, the taste was good, after all, it was one of the most famous courtyards in Nanjing, and the people who came here were all famous people, and their mouths were all tricky, so they naturally would not give people ordinary tea.
Although the old bustard was annoyed by Li Xiangqian's unreasonableness, she greeted the guests with a smile, naturally knew the advance and retreat, and also knew that Li Xiangqian's background was extraordinary, just looking at the official horse he rode, he knew that it was not easy to deal with, although the guests in the courtyard were also all kinds of official gentry, not to mention that those old people who were not ashamed to come to their own place to "taste" the new goods, the background was hard, and today the people from the Yin Yamen came to the palace, not that they did not dare to come hard, but only dared to urge.
So she walked over and said, "The woman is the bustard mother of Lichun Building, and she dares to ask where the son is from. ”
