Chapter 56 The Eight-Bearer Sedan Chair (2)
Welcome to the A-level dungeon - The Eight-Carried Sedan Chair
The difficulty of this dungeon is only A-
Dear streamer, have fun playing the game.
Lin Chujiu was momentarily stunned by the white light, then realized that Zhou Shen's scene had suddenly changed.
It was still the same bedroom where I slept after my feet were bound, but the details were even clearer.
The house is antique in style, with carved railings and painted beams.
The porcelain on the table was exquisite, with delicate flower branches inserted among them, which were only meant to be played with.
The doors and windows are exquisitely carved, with lifelike flowers and figures. The calligraphy and painting of "The Classic of Filial Piety for Women" hang on the wall, exuding a Confucian atmosphere.
Lin Chujiu found herself sitting on the bed, wearing a light blue dress, beneath which were a pair of small, adorable feet.
Lin Chujiu looked at the foot and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Having learned from her previous experience, she examined her body again.
Everything was perfect except for her feet; a frail yet beautiful young girl's body.
Lin Chujiu breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know what the purpose was of suddenly turning her into an adult.
What exactly is going to happen in this instance?
Lin Chujiu subconsciously summoned the blue light panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that the information could now be loaded.

Lin Chujiu frowned as she looked at the game background.
As expected of the feudal era, even the descriptions are so disgusting.
Now that the game's background has been revealed, can we also start looking for the rules?
Thinking of this, she asked the system in her mind.
Lin Chujiu: "Why is this instance so strange? It even made me go through several days of foot binding?"
The system ignored her.
Lin Chujiu suspected that the system was unhappy because she had guessed some information about the Linhai University instance last time.
She turned away speechlessly.
"What a stingy person," Lin Chujiu thought.
Lin Chujiu tried to get out of bed to look for it, but when her small feet touched the ground, she found that she couldn't stand up at all.
She swayed and fell to the ground, her brows furrowing in pain instantly!
The audience who rushed over were somewhat surprised to see Lin Chujiu in this state, and then they saw Lin Chujiu's feet.
Why has Jiu Jiu gotten so big?
【Oh my god, what is this?】
Small feet? I never thought we'd still see something like this in X025.
My goodness, bound feet really couldn't walk! I thought what the history books said was just a lie.
Walking will hurt a lot.
My feet felt cold.
Lin Chujiu hissed, a sharp pain shooting through her foot, as if she had twisted it.
Lin Chujiu struggled to her feet, looking at the pair of tiny feet in front of her with a helpless expression.
It seems that this instance will also restrict player movement.
Lin Chujiu got up and walked while holding onto the bedpost.
A sharp pain shot through her feet as she moved.
She endured it and staggered as she searched many places.
This is the second floor of a wooden house. The upper floor is her boudoir, and the lower floor is the living quarters for the maids.
Her boudoir was small, but it looked exquisite and petite, just like her feet.
Lin Chujiu felt another chill.
Finally, she found the rules in the cabinet behind the vanity mirror.
Lin Chujiu quickly opened it to take a look.
I don't know if it was for the occasion, but the rules were written with a brush.
First, as a daughter of the Lin family, you must be filial to your parents, listen to their words, and not disobey your father and elder brothers.
Second, you must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, diligent in needlework, and well-versed in the works on your desk, such as "Rules for Women" and "Instructions for Women".
3. When someone asks you if you have read books, answer "I know a few characters and have read 'Rules for Women' and 'Instructions for Women'".
Fourth, the older sister is a taboo subject in the family; she should not be mentioned to the parents.
Fifth, bound feet are a symbol of beauty and a source of pride for both your maternal and paternal families; you must bind your feet every day.
6. The husband is the head of the household, and you cannot interfere in anything your husband does. You must obey your husband in everything and always consider your husband and his family.
7. Do not meet with men outside the family without permission.
8. At home, obey your father; after marriage, obey your husband.
I don't know if it's because the dungeon is one level more difficult, but there are obviously more rules this time than before.
Lin Chujiu had a premonition that this would be an even bigger challenge.
After memorizing the rules, Lin Chujiu tore them up as usual and threw them into a wastepaper basket.
She had just finished throwing it away when there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
"Miss, I'm coming in."
Before Lin Chujiu could refuse, a maid with her hair in two buns pushed open the door and entered.
Her face was pale, her lips were bright red, and she had a large red dot on each cheek, making her look like a zombie from an old Qing Dynasty movie.
Lin Chujiu felt her hair stand on end.
A maidservant entered and curtsied. "Miss, Master and Young Master will be back soon. Madam asked me to come and fetch you."
Lin Chujiu was a little confused about the situation, but for now she could only accept it.
Furthermore, Rule 1 also mentions filial piety towards parents, so she should not go against her mother's wishes.
Lin Chujiu had difficulty walking due to her small feet, so the maid helped her walk outside.
She had read in a book that women with bound feet had great difficulty walking due to skeletal deformities, and were as unsteady as walking on stilts, often needing to hold onto walls, use canes, or be helped by others.
Lin Chujiu sighed, hoping she could get through this challenge quickly.
The maid helped her downstairs, and Lin Chujiu wandered through several courtyards in a daze, arriving at a place that resembled a restaurant.
Lin Chujiu had read some books and knew that this was called Zhongtang, a more formal dining place in the homes of officials in some dynasties.
She saw the woman in brocade who had bound her feet. As Lin Chujiu grew up, the woman aged a bit, with a few strands of white hair at her temples, but she still retained her charm.
This seems to be the mother of her identity.
Upon seeing Lin Chujiu arrive, he quickly greeted her:
"Come on over, today is a big day for our family. Your brother has finished his exams, and we're going to have a big celebration for him today!"
Lin Chujiu was seated in a secluded spot, watching people come and go as dishes were served, and dared not make any rash moves.
This instance is not as easy as the previous one.
On the contrary, it has a strict hierarchy and imposes strict restrictions on people's behavior, making people dare not cross the line at all.
Lin Chujiu looked at the dishes in front of her, silently wondering who the player who had participated in the dungeon with her was.
This was her first time playing a two-player dungeon, and Lin Chujiu was very curious.
Before she could be curious for long, her mother pulled her to the dining table, made her stand up, and respectfully looked towards the door—
Someone is coming.
