Chapter 8 Buying People's Hearts
Ms. Xu immediately turned from crying to laughing, "Then we have to prepare well and let people see that we are really pitiful before they will buy you."

As she spoke, she went to make arrangements for the makeup she was going to wear tomorrow, deliberately using powder to make her face even paler.

As for Lu Zhan, he was naturally wearing tattered and patched clothes, with many black stains on his face.

Before dawn, Miss Xu led Lu Zhan to the street, and then she herself lay on the broken straw mat that had been prepared long ago, with the words "Sell yourself to treat your mother" next to her, and Lu Zhan stood obediently. next to.

People passing by were curious to look at the past, but no one would stay because of it.

Soon, the day was over, and still no one came.

Miss Xu was a little impatient waiting, pointing to Lu Zhan and said: "You are crying, the worse you cry, the better. Standing here dryly, who will care about you?"

It's not that Lu Zhan doesn't know how to cry, but he can't pretend to cry in front of people, and he feels a little guilty when he meets Ms. Xu's resentful eyes.

Seeing this, Ms. Xu had no choice but to go on stage by herself, crying miserably, and soon a young and beautiful woman and a little girl came.

As soon as Lu Zhan saw the little girl, he stood up nervously, "Why are you here?"

Lady Xu also recognized Xie Chunxiao and Zhen Baozhu, coughed a few times and said: "I am completely desperate now, if Mrs. Zhen likes my son, I will sell him to you, just ask you to give me money see a doctor.

"Mother" Lu Zhan didn't want to show her embarrassment in front of Zhen Baozhu for no reason.

But Ms. Xu ignored him and only looked at Xie Chunxiao eagerly.

Xie Chunxiao looked at Zhen Baozhu, Baozhu opened her small money box, took out seven gold leaves from it and put it in Lady Xu's hands, "Miss, do you think this money is enough?"

Miss Xu is not a woman who has never seen the world. When she saw the golden leaves, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she pretended to mutter and said: "You don't know, the doctor said that I have tuberculosis, and I will probably have it all the time for the rest of my life. Only by taking the right medicine can you linger on your last breath."

It means that these gold leaves are not enough.

Zhen Baozhu looked at A Niang as if asking for help, Xie Chunxiao had no choice but to take out a gold ingot from his bosom, and said in a cold tone: "This is enough."

"Enough is enough." Miss Xu said incessantly.

Xie Chunxiao added: "Turning around this street, we came to the nearest pharmacy. I'll take Lu Zhan to grab the medicine you've used for nearly a month, and someone will bring it to you later."

Lady Xu only stared at the gold ingot held in her palm, and said absent-mindedly, "Okay, okay."

Zhen Baozhu walked towards Lu Zhan, and stretched out a friendly little hand towards Lu Zhan, with stars in his eyes, "Brother Zhan, you will be my man from now on."

Lu Zhan hesitated for a while, but put his hands behind his back, "Girl go first."

Zhen Baozhu was only three years old, so he didn't know the difference between men and women, but he was already eight years old, so he was insurmountable.

"Okay." Zhen Baozhu had no choice but to bounce to the pharmacy ahead, bought medicine for Miss Xu, and led Lu Zhan back to Jiangling Prince's Mansion.

At this time, Lu Zhan had vaguely guessed something, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

Fortunately, Xie Chunxiao said to him as soon as he arrived in the house, "Ah Zhan, it was the princess who asked me to bring you back."

"The concubine is a pure and sexual woman, and the most important thing is human relations and filial piety. She appreciates your filial piety that is not bowed by power and wealth, so she still insists on adopting you under her name."

"However." As if knowing what Lu Zhan was thinking, Xie Chunxiao explained: "The concubine is not a very domineering person. When she adopts you, she will also take your mother into the mansion. Auntie's status will give her something to rely on in the future, how about that?"

Although Lu Zhan, who was only eight years old, tried his best to suppress the excitement and gratitude in his heart, tears still filled his eyes uncontrollably. Your wealth and life are more important.”

Xie Chunxiao said with a smile: "It's time to change the name to 'mother concubine'."

Lu Zhan couldn't help but say, "A person of humble origin like me is not worthy of being a child of a princess."

Xie Chunxiao stroked Baozhu's round head, and Baozhu responded, "Little brother is the kindest person Baozhu has ever met, and deserves the best things in this world!"

There was a smile in Lu Zhan's eyes unconsciously.

An hour later, King Jiangling and Princess Jiangling arrived at the scene at the same time. The princess said to King Jiangling, "This child probably has a certain affinity with me. I also appreciate his neither humble nor overbearing demeanor. Why don't you adopt him under my name."

King Jiangling also said: "Since the princess likes him, I will hand over the booklet to the emperor, saying that when the son was out selling himself for his mother, the princess felt pity for him, and brought this son home, only to find out that this son is actually my palace. The children who are living outside feel deeply that they have a deep fate with this son, and I especially ask the emperor to agree to let the princess adopt this son to inherit the family business of my Jiangling Palace."

Princess Jiangling nodded, and said to Xie Chunxiao, "I will leave the rest to my sister."

Xie Chunxiao said: "I'll go back and write a letter to my father, asking him to speak kindly for you in front of the emperor, and that will be done."

Although Guochao has been committed to cutting down the vassals, King Jiangling is too insignificant among the many vassal kings. In the eyes of the emperor, he is not a threat, so it will not be difficult.

After lunch in Jiangling Palace, Xie Chunxiao led Zhen Baozhu to bid farewell to the people in the palace. Before leaving, Baozhu said to Lu Zhan excitedly: "Little brother, I will come to see you whenever I have time." Oh, you have to study hard and eat well, and don't disappoint the princess and my expectations of you."

Lu Zhan's enthusiasm for the little girl has always been overwhelming, and he could only nod upon hearing this.

He also secretly vowed in his heart that he would study hard and practice martial arts as the princess and sister Baozhu thought, and become a useful person who would be responsible for the future of the entire Jiangling palace.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xu was taken to the Jiangling Palace and became Aunt Xu. After the doctor gave her a pulse, she found out that Aunt Xu was not sick.

If money is not enough, he wants Lu Zhan to sell himself.

Lu Zhan was deeply disappointed with Aunt Xu, so he alienated her.

Xie Chunxiao, who returned to Zhen's house, turned away Master Zhen and Mrs. Zhang who wanted to come to disgust her, and wrote to Master Xie about the current situation of Jiangling Palace, and asked his father to speak for King Jiangling in front of the emperor. Li sent the letter to the capital.

Master Zhen didn't care about anything when he saw this, and led Mrs. Zhang to kneel in front of Xie Chunxiao.

"A Xiao, I really know I was wrong. I don't want a son anymore. As long as A Xiao promises me not to tell my father-in-law what I have done, I will have someone abort the child in Mrs. Zhang's womb."

Mrs. Zhang was crying aggrievedly.

Xie Chunxiao personally helped Master Zhen and Mrs. Zhang up, "I've thought about it for the past two days. My husband has reached the prime of his life, but he still doesn't have a son. It's not a big deal. I'll give it to my husband tomorrow. Take a few concubines and spread the branches and leaves for the husband, as for Mrs. Zhang."

"If only Mrs. Zhang gives birth to your husband's only male heir at that time, I will personally arrange for your husband, and let Mrs. Zhang come in..."

vice versa.

If Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a male heir but was not the only male heir in the family, the Zhen family would not recognize her.

For Mr. Zhen, this is already a very good result. He readily agreed, but Mrs. Zhang looked gloomy.
