Chapter 9: Selling one's body to bury one's father is also a trick
I saw a pair of little guys dozing off.
Chunliu thought of a way to tease them, "Hey, little treasure, Chuntao will be here soon. Just wait with your sister!" However, no matter how much teasing they did, it was of no use.
After a while, Xiaobao and Xiaobei both fell on the bed, no longer paying attention to Chunliu, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Chuntao fetched water, she looked at the two little pigs in front of her, and looked at Chunliu helplessly. It had just begun, when would this day end? They had no choice but to let them sleep, holding handkerchiefs to help the two little guys.
Wipe yourself.
The next day, early morning.
Because he had to go to court early, Rong Xuan was used to getting up early. The maids took care of him and changed his clothes. After washing his face, it was the same as every day in the past.
On the dining table in front of me, there were four or five kinds of millet porridge, crab roe buns, lily cakes...
Manager Xu noticed that Rong Xuan's appetite didn't seem to be very good today. He put down his bowl and chopsticks before finishing the bowl of millet porridge.
"Your Majesty, these are not to your taste today?!"
"No, today my father wants to discuss matters with me in the Southern Kingdom. I have to go to the palace early." Rong Xuan stood up and took the water from the maids. After rinsing his mouth, another maid came over with a jade basin.
"You give these to those two brats from yesterday!"
The carriage was already waiting outside. Manager Xu sent Rong Xuan to the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was far away, when he was about to close the door and enter the house, he found a woman-like figure in the corner of the door of the palace, wearing coarse linen clothes, kneeling there secretly.
Wiping away my tears, I saw something swept with grass on the ground in front of me, which looked like a dead person?
The entire Rihe City knows that this is Prince Xuan's Mansion, and they would never come here to cause trouble. What is this woman talking about today? Don't you know that this is Prince Xuan's Mansion?
Manager Xu walked over, but before he could say anything, the other party noticed him first. His almond-shaped eyes were already red from crying. Although he was dressed in coarse linen, he was also fair and fair, making him not so annoying?!
In front of the woman was a sign with the four characters "Sell yourself to bury your father" written on it.
"Uncle, please do me a favor and buy a slave as a girl. I am very hard-working. I can do anything. Please give me some money so that my father can be buried as soon as possible. Please, uncle,
You do well!"
This girl opened her mouth with a lot of shouts, "Uncle, uncle." The sobbing and crying sounds made Manager Xu feel so unbearable, but outside the gate of the palace, how could she be allowed to do this? How unbecoming was it?
Fortunately, the prince has just entered the palace. If he saw it, he would definitely be unhappy.
"What are you doing? Hey, this is the palace, how could you come here? Go, go, stay here early in the morning, don't let the palace get into trouble..."
"Uncle, I am a weak woman who fled from the north with her father and came here. She wanted to join her relatives here, but she didn't know that her relatives were long gone. Now that she has no money to pay, her father is seriously ill and has no money for treatment. Now, now..."
The woman cried so sadly that she was out of breath.
"Uncle, you just bought a slave! I can really do anything. I don't ask for anything else. I just want you to reward me with some money for the coffin... Oh, just ask for my father to be buried in peace. From now on, I will do whatever I want."
I will repay you like a cow or a horse." As she said that, the woman kowtowed vigorously.
