Time flies so fast, and before she knew it, Ouyang Xinyu had been in this strange era for some time. However, what annoyed her was that although she was a first-year student in the history department, she knew very little about the history of China. This is all because she did not work hard when she went to school and did not have the habit of reading extracurricular history books! If she had the opportunity to return to the modern era in this life, she must study hard and memorize the entire Qing Dynasty's history!

Ouyang Xinyu's adaptability is quite good. With the help of her maid Xiaocui, she has basically learned ancient etiquette and all aspects that need to be paid attention to when dealing with the master, wife and servants in the mansion. Although sometimes she will occasionally say a few modern popular terms, the master, wife and servants in the mansion have become accustomed to becoming natural, so she has long disapproved!

Apart from the mixed rules, it cannot be like this or that. The most troublesome thing is the shoes of the ancients. The Shangguan family is a Manchu. Since Manchu women have been riding horses and never bound their feet, they are used to wearing shoes that look like flower pots. These shoes are not easy to wear, but they are not as comfortable as modern people's flat shoes, sneakers, flip flops, and foot-clip slippers.

Speaking of these shoes, Ouyang Xinyu felt a little angry. If you don’t wear them, it wouldn’t work. Why doesn’t the wife wear such high-heeled shoes? Who told her to wear them? Who told her to wear them? Who asked her to have this rule? Who asked her to call her young? These people are really strange. Why don’t you wear comfortable flat-heeled shoes? You have to learn what high heels are wearing in modern people? Moreover, these shoes are not scientific at all. They look like stilts. How can you walk steadily? Ouyang Xinyu, I think you are wrong! Didn’t the high heels of modern people learn from ancient people? They are not modern people learned from ancient people!

The shoes of Manchu women are also called "flag shoes", which are very distinctive. Because Manchu women have been riding horses since childhood and never bound their feet, they are used to wearing this kind of shoes, especially aristocratic women. They are generally wearing this kind of shoes, so they are called "flag shoes". This embroidered flag shoes are made of wood as the bottom, known in history as "high-soled shoes", or "flower pot bottom" shoes, and "horse hoof bottom" shoes. The wooden heels of the wooden sole are generally about 5-10 cm high, some can reach 14-16 cm, and the highest can reach about 25 cm. The wooden heels of the flag shoes are inlaid on the sole, in the middle, more than three inches high, and the whole wooden heel is wrapped in white muslin cloth, and there are also white silk or white powder on the outside, commonly known as "sole".

The fabric of flag shoes is silk, with colorful patterns embroidered on top. There are usually two types of heel soles, one is open at the top and narrow at the bottom, in the shape of an inverted trapezoidal flower pot. The other is thin at the top and wide at the bottom, flat at the front and round at the back. Their appearance and floor marks are similar to horse's hooves. "Flower pot soles" and "horse hooves soles" are therefore named, and are also collectively called "high-soled shoes". In addition to the uppers of the shoe are decorated with embroidery patterns or decorative pieces such as cicadas and butterflies, the parts where the wood heels are not touching the ground are often decorated with embroidery or beads. Some shoes have also been decorated with spikes made of silk thread, which can be reached.

The high-heeled wooden soles of this kind of shoes are extremely strong, and the upper is often broken, but the soles are still intact and can be used again. High-soled flag shoes are mostly worn by middle-aged and middle-aged women over thirteen or fourteen years old. The flag shoes of elderly women are mostly flat wood as the bottom, called "flat shoes". The front end is slightly cut to allow walking. Now they are no longer worn.

As we grow older, the high soles of the shoe soles gradually decrease. Generally, elderly or working women wear slightly shorter or flat shoes.

How did this flag shoes originate? One theory believes that in the past, Manchu women often went up the mountain to collect wild fruits, mushrooms, etc., and to prevent insects and snake bites, they tied wooden blocks on the soles of the shoes. Later, the production became increasingly exquisite and developed into high-soled shoes.

There is another legend that in order to cross a mud pond and regain the city occupied by the enemy, the ancestors of the Manchus followed the white crane and tied high tree branches on their shoes. Finally, they won the victory, achieving the goal of revenge and growth.

In order to remember those miserable days and commemorate the contribution of high-legged wooden shoes, women wore these shoes and passed them on from generation to generation. The more they made them more refined and beautiful, they became like this. After summarizing the following three conclusions:

It is believed that Manchu women like to wear cheongsams and put them on a high bottom so that they can prevent cheongsams from mopping the floor and not exposing their feet.

It is believed that in order to increase their height and show the gracefulness of women, Manchu women put it on the bottom.

Manchu women went up the mountain to work to prevent mosquito bites and avoid muddy soles. Therefore, they are used to attaching wood blocks on the soles of the shoes, which later develop into flower pot-soled shoes.

Next, Ouyang Xinyu has a very difficult and important task to learn, that is, to learn to wear "flower pot bottom" shoes that are full of people. At this moment, Ouyang Xinyu felt extremely wronged. It was inexplicable. Why should I travel to this dynasty that loves to be stinky and beautiful and likes to wear high heels? How great would it be if I could go back to the modern era? Although my mother's nagging is annoying, at least there are not so many unwritten rules!

Suddenly, I miss my parents so much, and miss my home so much! I don’t know when I will return to modern times? Return to my hometown? Return to my parents’ warm embrace? Perhaps, I will never be able to go back in my life! Thinking of this, Ouyang Xinyu couldn’t help but burst into tears with sadness.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying suddenly? You miss home again, do you miss your parents?"

These days, Xiao Cui has been accompanying Ouyang Xinyu in the room to practice wearing flower pot-sole shoes. Seeing Ouyang Xinyu walking in flower pot-sole shoes, Xiao Cui could see how difficult and test this is for people who have never worn such shoes. Moreover, when practicing, you have to hide and hide, so that others cannot see or know. If it were Xiao Cui, she would be annoyed.

"Xiao Cui, I want to go home so much, I miss my parents so much! But how can I go back? Could it be that I will stay in this place for the rest of my life, birth, old age, sickness and death? What should I do?"

"Miss, don't be sad! Isn't Xiao Cui still there? No matter what difficulties you encounter, Xiao Cui will always be by your side! Don't worry, we will definitely find your way home!"

"But, I don't want to stay here now, I want to go home now!"

"Miss, please stop crying. If you cry like this, Xiao Cui's heart will be broken! If you want to cry again, Xiao Cui can't help but cry. Then the maid and servant in the mansion will hear it and tell the master and wife, how will it end?"

"Okay, I won't cry anymore! Xiao Cui, don't cry! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do?" Xiao Cui said very reasonably. Just learning to wear these ghost shoes is annoying enough for her. If she causes a lot of trouble, she really doesn't know what to do.

It’s all because of these damn shoes. Ouyang Xinyu never wore high heels in modern times, and she never wore them once. Because she is still a student and her physical development is not complete, the school does not allow girls to wear strange clothes and high heels. Therefore, she has worn them since childhood, either buckle shoes or cloth shoes. Such shoes are not only light-moving, but also very comfortable to wear on her feet, and it is also very convenient to take physical education classes!

In Ouyang Xinyu's concept, wearing high heels should be something that you should start to wear after graduating from college and starting work! But now she is a freshman, how can she destroy the health of teenagers like this? This is too inhumane! However, if you have come to this dynasty, you have to learn from the rules here. Otherwise, you can't go back, what do you want?

After crying and making trouble, I still have to learn how to wear these Manchu people's flower pot-bottomed shoes. Isn't it just learning to wear high heels? It's just to preview the exercises before starting work after graduation. Anyway, I have to wear them after graduating from college. Why not let her do it this time! At worst, she just falls a few more times and gets injured more often! Didn't Xiao Cui prepare her medicine for striking and spraining medicine and Ruyi ointment?

This is a bit like modern people learning to wear ice skating. Unfortunately, modern people have wheels and can roll around. The flower skates are made of wood and tied to Ouyang Xinyu's feet. Her legs seem to have roots on the ground, and they can't pull them out, and they can't lift them up.

Ouyang Xinyu carefully held her skirt and stared at the ground with her eyes curled up. Xiao Cui was holding the daughter of the daughter on both sides, so nervous that she was so tired that she was sweating all over. In the past, Miss Wan'er didn't seem to be as difficult as her when she wore these shoes. Unexpectedly, this modern person was really stupider than the ancients!
