Chapter 38
The old concubine sympathized with Jiang Ci's loss of mother when she was young and was bullied by her brothers, and she also wanted to make up for it, so she happily agreed to Jiang Ci's request.

Order Jiangling King to come to the door in person to propose marriage to Zhen's family.

After coming and going, the marriage was settled.

The old concubine also promised that when the two got married, Jiang Ci's wish would be fulfilled, and Jiang Ci would be separated from the house.

Not only that, but the old concubine also bought another house for Jiang Ci, not far from Zhen's residence.

The old concubine and Jiang Ci were full of sincerity, and the Zhen family didn't mind that Zhen Zhenzhu was only 12 years old, so they set the wedding date in mid-October this year.

Xie Chunxiao passed the news of Zhen Zhenzhu's marriage to Mrs. Zhen who was visiting relatives in Suzhou, so Mrs. Zhen led her married daughter and grandchildren to Qingzhou.

The wives of the Zhen family are busy with the matter of marrying their daughters, and Zhen Zhenzhu is also preparing the embroidery for the wedding, Zhen Baozhu is the only one in the house who is idle.

Baozhu felt bored, she traveled here for the first time, and knew very few people, so she went to Jiangling Palace to find Lu Zhan after thinking about it.

The little girl didn't come empty-handed, she even brought candied haws from the street.

The candied haws were big and sweet, but in Lu Zhan's eyes, they were not as sweet as Baozhu, but he still took the candied haws.

But after not seeing him for a few days, Lu Zhan has already grown a little taller.

Zhen Baozhu walked around Lu Zhan several times, and asked from the bottom of her heart: "Did the princess give you some supplements, otherwise how could you grow so fast?"

"I want to be tall too, hey!"

In fact, Zhen Baozhu is not considered short, but because she looks a bit rounder than ordinary girls, she doesn't look that tall.

"But I'm still young." Baozhu never used the people around her to comfort her, so she came out by herself, shook Lu Zhan's arm, and begged: "Brother Zhan, I heard that the Wangfu and the Jiang family have a very good relationship. Resign?"

Hearing the name of the man next to him from the little girl's mouth made Lu Zhan feel uncomfortable at first, but he covered up his discomfort.

Lu Zhan said, "I've heard about it, why are you looking for him?"

On the first day when he was adopted under the name of the concubine, the concubine took him to record all the people and things related to the Jiangling palace.

He had a good memory, but within three days, he had memorized the things the princess had given him, including Jiang Ci.

When Zhen Baozhu heard that Lu Zhan knew Jiang Ci, the joy on his face increased a bit, "Then brother Zhan knows him well, can you help me ask him out."

Lu Zhan's eyes darkened, "Why are you looking for him?"

Zhen Baozhu subconsciously bit her little finger and said: "He just got engaged to my elder sister, I want to see what kind of person he is and whether he is reliable."

Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, "I know it, but I'm not familiar with it, but you really want to ask someone out? I'm afraid you will be criticized."

The little girl is still young, so she doesn't understand how demanding the world is to women. If she is not careful, she may be accused of "secretly giving and receiving".

"However, I can make an appointment for you in my name." Lu Zhan said again.

Because of Lu Zhan's words, Baozhu's face suddenly frowns, and suddenly smiles.

Lu Zhan felt that Baozhu's small face was so funny, he couldn't help pinching Baozhu's face, and instantly realized that he was overstepping.

"Take it as my reward for helping you." Lu Zhan said without blushing.

Baozhu said angrily, "I already have a lot of flesh on my face. If you pinch it like this again, it will make more flesh. You can't do this again in the future."

"Okay!" Lu Zhan readily agreed, "Let's go, don't you want to see Jiang Ci, let's go."

Zhen Baozhu followed him blankly, "But don't you want to ask him out first?"

Lu Zhan said: "No, the Wangfu and Jiang's are only separated by a wall."

He walked up to a tree, turned around and asked Baozhu, "Are you afraid?"

Baozhu was confused, "What are you afraid of?"

Lu Zhan pointed to the tree, "This tree is very tall, if we climb up, we can see Jiang Ci."

"I'm not afraid of climbing trees, but" Zhen Baozhu has never been a little lady, if it was a trivial matter in the past, but now her legs are too short.

Lu Zhan squatted down, "Come on, step on my shoulders."

Zhen Baozhu was not polite, and her short legs immediately guessed Lu Zhan's shoulder. The little girl looked round and round, but it was not heavy. Lu Zhan stood up without much effort.

Using both hands and feet, Baozhu climbed to the top of the tree's branches, and then stepped on the branches to climb up again.

Lu Zhan was taller, and climbed up with almost no effort. He carefully protected the orb in his arms, and looked at the empty courtyard next door.

"That's the courtyard where Jiang Ci lived. He would go to the courtyard to practice boxing in the afternoon every day, and he would come out soon."

Zhen Baozhu hugged Lu Zhan's waist, looked down, and couldn't help feeling a little scared, "Brother Zhan, how long do we have to wait?"

Being hugged by the little girl like this, Lu Zhan's heart beat faster, and he unconsciously said, "It's coming soon."

As soon as the words were finished, a young man came out from behind the curtain. He took a closer look and saw that it was Jiang Ci, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhen Baozhu also saw Jiang Ci. From her perspective, Jiang Ci was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, with a thin back and a long figure. His long black hair was pulled up high with a bamboo hairpin. .

When he turned around, he could vaguely see his elegant features, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of indifference, and a cold appearance, which shocked Zhen Baozhu into a heavenly man.

"Wow, Jiang Ci is actually a bit more beautiful than the painting, but it is worthy of my sister."

Baozhu couldn't help sighing.

Unknowingly, the young man's face turned cold from behind.

I am used to little girls praising him when they meet, Lu Zhan doesn't want to see Baozhu and then praise others, even if this person will be Baozhu's brother-in-law in the future.

"Brother Zhan, tell him to come here." Baozhu wanted to pay her respects to the beauty.

Lu Zhan's eyes were gloomy, and he whistled.

Jiang Ci looked over vigilantly, and when he saw the young girl on the tree, there was a look of understanding in his eyes.

He climbed over the wall with agility.

Baozhu worshiped Jiang Ci more and more, and forgot what she was going to do.

Jiang Ci coughed, awakening Baozhu's remaining rationality, "Miss Baozhu," he called.

Zhen Baozhu was surprised: "Brother-in-law recognizes me?"

The boy who was originally cold had a look on his face, "You are Pearl's younger sister, of course I know."

"Did Pearl tell you to come and find me?"

He asked impatiently.

Zhen Baozhu shook her head, then nodded again, "Sister Sister didn't ask me to look for you, but I know that Sister Sister also wants to see what you look like."

"I'll tell my sister what you look like when I go back."

Jiang Ci's thin lips parted slightly, with a bewitching smile, "Maybe let Pearl come and see me in person, wouldn't it be more real than what you described?"

"Yeah? Then I'll call Elder Sister over when I get back." Bao Zhu was so engrossed in her future brother-in-law's peerless beauty that she had no thoughts of her own.

Lu Zhan dragged the man to his side, jumped off the tree with the little girl in his arms, and reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget what you are here for."

Zhen Baozhu straightened her back, forced herself not to look into Jiang Ci's eyes, and then said straightaway: "My sister is the most beautiful, gentle and virtuous woman in the world. There were many people who wanted to marry my sister in the past. It's your fate." Only then can you embrace the beauty, you must treat my sister well, otherwise you will lose my sister."

Jiang Ci's smile deepened, and his voice was so gentle that water dripped out, "I will treat Pearl well, then can you call Pearl to meet me?"
