Chapter 148: Three-inch Golden Lotus

"Mr. Nie actually has such a peculiar hobby!" Meng Xin Zhi felt somewhat incredulous.

"Which man does not fancy feet?" Nie Guangyi responded somewhat offhandedly, "If men did not fancy feet, where would the three-inch golden lotuses come from?"

"Does Mr. Nie find the three-inch golden lotus beautiful?" Meng Xin Zhi grew even more astonished.

No matter how little one respected women, there should be a limit.

In ancient times, one meter was three chi, and one chi was ten inches.

Three inches converted to modern measurements is roughly ten centimeters.

How could the foot of a normal adult be only ten centimeters?

Three-inch golden lotuses, four-inch silver lotuses, anything larger than four inches was considered an iron lotus.

If we use such a standard, the feet of contemporary adult women would all be regarded as the base iron lotuses.

Given the ancient men's obsession with small feet, women began foot-binding either voluntarily or by coercion.
