Chapter 470: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (9)

Su Xiangran sat quietly beside the bed, her eyes fixed on the movements of Nanny Hong's hands.

When the foot binding was slowly removed, the stone in her heart that had been hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.

"Miss, please don't blame Madam for tearing the cloth." Madam Hong consoled her while tearing the cloth, "Such a big thing happened in the family. Not only did we lose money, but the eldest master also hit his head.

But you can rest assured that even if you no longer bind your feet, Madam will do her best to find a happy marriage for you."

In fact, Su Xiangran understands her mother Cao Wanning very well deep in her heart.

In this era, for a woman from a wealthy family, marrying into a good family seems to be the only way out.

It was for this reason that Cao Wanning was so persistent in having her daughter's feet bound.

However, no matter how persistent one is, one has to give in to certain practical interests.

Therefore, Cao Wanning felt guilty towards her daughter, but she really had no say in the matter.

However, others did not know that this series of events was actually secretly planned by Su Xiangran.

However, she cleverly made use of the "enlightenment" power of the intelligent abbot.

As for who was responsible for everything that happened afterwards?

For some reason, the handsome young man whom she had met at Anyang Temple emerged in her mind.

"I originally thought you just wanted me to say a few words for that girl, but I never expected you to do it yourself." The intelligent abbot slowly stood up and filled the tea cup for Song Chengjing who was sitting opposite him.

While sighing, "In this world today, which lady doesn't have bound feet? But you are the only one who likes to meddle in other people's business."

Song Chengjing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked directly at Abbot Zhineng with a sharp gaze. He said in a firm tone, "Hand over the jade pendant."

Abbot Zhineng was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He argued, "You are a bandit, and I am a bandit? This jade pendant was given to me as a thank-you gift by that little girl, and you actually want to take it back."

"Forget it!" Song Chengjing shook his head helplessly, then fumbled out a small and exquisite gold bar from the bulging purse at his waist, put it on the table and pushed it towards the intelligent abbot, "I can use this to exchange for the jade pendant with you.

The value of this 'small yellow croaker' is enough to buy the jade pendant in your hand, and you have never been interested in these things. Isn't gold more practical than the jade pendant?"

The intelligent abbot first took the gold bar and examined it carefully, then put it into his mouth without hesitation and took a big bite. After confirming that it was correct, he said with a smile: "Haha, of course I like gold more!

As the saying goes, in troubled times, gold is hidden; in prosperous times, antiques are collected. The current situation is turbulent, and hard currency like gold is the most popular. Naturally, I will accept all offers! "

After saying that, he put the gold bar into his arms with satisfaction.

"Give it to me!" Song Chengjing stretched out his hand to him, "Since you have accepted my gold, give me the jade pendant!

And you should be more reserved. If someone sees you like this, who would want to donate money to you?"

"Hey! I've really had enough!" The intelligent abbot patted his bald head and complained indignantly, "When I was a bandit, I lived a carefree life!

Eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink wine with big bowls, do whatever you want, no one dares to control you! It's not like now, all day long, even words have to be said carefully, it's really boring!"

Hearing the complaints of the intelligent abbot, Song Chengjing quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, abbot. Those people of the Cao family have basically been buried deep underground by us.

Just wait a few more years and you will be able to get away with it. So, just be patient!"

However, the intelligent abbot did not seem to appreciate it. He said with contempt, "Humph, I actually think that the Cao family has no real ability at all. Aren't their so-called wealth and power maintained by marriage?

Everyone says Cao Ce is capable, but compared to his father, he is far inferior! General Cao is a real hero who fought and emerged from the battlefield. Cao Ce is nothing! "

Regarding the intelligent abbot's opinion, Song Chengjing just sighed softly and said helplessly: "In this era, it is useless to just know how to fight. Some enemies do not only exist on the battlefield."

After hearing this, Abbot Zhineng nodded in agreement.

As if he had thought of something, Song Chengjing coughed a few times before speaking, "Remember to arrange for the Cao family's important in-laws to be present."

Although Abbot Zhineng was a rough man, he had been a spy for several years and was considered to be meticulous. He also knew Song Chengjing relatively well. He looked straight at the young man in front of him, waiting for him to blush.

He smacked his lips and said, "Oh my! Who is this? This elegant gentleman admired by many women has thoughts about a little girl? Don't blame me for not reminding you, there is a ten-year age difference between you two! She is only six."

Song Chengjing poured him a glass of water instead: "Even drinking tea can't stop you from talking. I just thought she was special, so I paid attention to her. Besides, the Su family, as Cao Ce's financial provider, was originally under our surveillance."

Can this be considered a nobleman of the Republic of China?
