Chapter 25: The Seven Days of Trial
Chu Lianruo hooked her lips and stopped talking. The two turned an alley and walked for a while, and at the gate of a secluded courtyard, Siwei stopped, "Concubine Fang, this is it!" ”
She nodded, Siwei went to knock on the door, and shouted a few more times if there was anyone, but there was no movement.
Siwei frowned and said, "Concubine Fang, I inquired about Granny You being at home at this hour, how could no one answer, could it be that she was fooled by that person, and when you go back, you will definitely let that guy come to make amends to you!" ”
Chu Lianruo motioned for her to silence, and said in a clear voice, "I am the fourth daughter of the Chu family in Cen Prefecture, and I came to meet you family, and I hope that you everyone will not be abrupt by the juniors." ”
There was no sound for a long time, and just as Siwei was about to open his mouth to persuade Chu Lianruo, there was a creaking sound of the wooden door opening lightly, and I saw an ordinary woman in coarse cloth clothes half-covering the doorway, "Why do you want to come to visit?" ”
Chu Lianruo smiled lightly, her eyes were as clear and sincere as jade, and she said seriously, "Because the junior has an obsession." ”
The wind lifted and there was a rustling sound from the trees in the spring, accompanied by the sound of jade hitting each other, like the fairy music of the Heavenly Palace, only to hear the voice say, "Lan Jing, let her in." ”
The woman named Lan Jing opened the door and said to Chu Lianruo with a sigh, "Since the master has spoken, you can come in." ”
Chu Lianruo took off her veil cloak and asked Siwei to stay outside the door and wait for her, and then walked into the courtyard, the courtyard was very simple, a stone table and stone bench under a pear tree, a woman in a dark green embroidered dark pattern silk skirt sat on the stone bench, facing Chu Lianruo on the side, her black hair hung down to her hips, and she tied it with a hairband at will.
Chu Lianruo was a little stunned when she saw the woman, she had been the queen of Dahuai for a few years, and the most important thing in the harem was the beautiful woman, but compared to her, it was a difference between cloud and mud, and time did not make this woman's appearance lose half a point, but had more charm after the vicissitudes of life.
The woman sat still, and Lan Jing closed the door and beckoned her to sit down.
Chu Lianruo approached and didn't sit down according to her words, but just knelt beside the woman and said firmly, "Please teach me." ”
The wind blew the woman's black hair, and the words were as light as a sigh in the wind, "What do you want me to teach you?" ”
Chu Lianruo's eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of ice, and she spit out words that shocked her, "Let this person above the subjects of the country fall in love with me!" ”
Suddenly, the woman smiled, as if she thought it was incredibly funny, and as if she was sarcastic about the incompetence of the sentence. She turned her head to look at the kneeling man on the ground, and met her eyes, which contained a deep sadness and determination that made her look frozen.
The woman looked at her for a long time, stopped smiling, and raised a finger like an onion to point between Chu Lianruo's eyebrows, "If you can pass my seven-day test, I will help you." ”
Chu Lianruo leaned down and bowed with her head to the ground, indicating her agreement.
Siwei waited outside for a long time, and when the side concubine finally came out, she was pale and was helped out by Lan Jing, she was startled, she wanted to reason with this woman, but was stopped by the side concubine, she helped the side concubine all the way back to the governor's palace, and then it was like this for seven days, but the side concubine's face became worse and worse, and she would wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and then she had no sleep all night.
In the past seven days, Chu Tan did not return to Cen Zhou, Chu Lianruo excused the invitation of the second Miss Meng and other family members to meet each other, and suddenly said that she liked to eat snacks on Liu'an Street, and every afternoon she sent two maids to Liu'an Street to pack some snacks and go home, this time it was more than an hour, even if others had doubts, they just turned a blind eye, as long as the Lingbian Concubine returned to Shengjing safe and sound, the others were insignificant.
