Chapter 129 Who do you think you are?
When Li Rong heard the voice, she quickly tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and asked Old Lady Li to see if she was beautiful.
Li Fengzhu also used the loose hair she had left to cover the scar on her face, and then tried to squeeze forward.
At this moment, a fat man with a big belly came out. He was wearing official uniform. He was Zhang Boren, the county magistrate of Baishi County.
He glanced at the standing prisoners, the smile on his lips full of sarcasm. What Duke, what National Defense General, they are all here with him, and they have to live their lives according to his mood.
"Which one is the Duke? No, look at me, which one is Gu Jian?"
There was only one older man here, and he clearly said that on purpose.
Mr. Gu didn't argue with him, "Sir, I am."
"My family is in need of a security guard, and I think you're just the right person."
Gu Mingyu couldn't bear to see his father being humiliated like this. Just as he was about to speak, Old Man Gu signaled him with his eyes not to act rashly.
"Why? Not happy?"
Old Master Gu smiled and shook his head. Even though he was deliberately humiliated and made things difficult for him, he remained calm. "Gladly, thank you very much, sir."
Zhang Boren nodded with satisfaction, "You are indeed very adaptable."
"My family is still short of two maids. Your family..."
Zhang Boren thought that the women in the Duke's mansion must be good, and he also enjoyed the service of these noble ladies. However, when he took a closer look, he was shocked.
"Why...are you...like this?" Zhang Boren thought about the hardships they had endured along the way. They were not as pretty as before, but their faces were all dark and had red pimples the size of fingertips. Just one look at them gave him goosebumps.
Song Qiang was in a playful mood and deliberately moved closer, opening her mouth wide without caring about her manners, "Sir..."
"Shut up! What's that smell? Why is it so stinky!" Zhang Boren quickly took a few steps back.
When Song Qiang opened her mouth to explain again, he was sure that the unpleasant smell came from her mouth, and his face suddenly turned sour, "Get away from me."
Song Qiang suppressed her smug smile and went back.
"The Gu family was once a duke's mansion, so why are all the women there so...disgusting?" Zhang Boren complained.
Li Rong deliberately bowed, but her etiquette was actually not standard. Before, when she was in the capital, Gu Yuru asked a maid from the palace to teach her, but she didn't study hard. After learning a little, she thought she knew everything, which made the maid angry and left.
However, in a place like this, no one could tell whether her salute was correct or not. "Your Excellency, their family ate something they found. Who knows if they were poisoned? It looks like it might even be contagious."
Zhang Boren narrowed his eyes, looking at the slender, weak girl in front of him, who was so fragile that she would fall over at the slightest gust of wind. She stood out among the slovenly and dirty women. "Who are you?"
Li Rong stroked her forehead and said softly, "I am Li Rong."
"The young lady from the Li family." Zhang Boren's eyes lit up. If their family had not been exiled, he would not even be worthy of carrying the heels of a young lady like this.
"From now on, I will be your maid, sir." Li Rong said.
Zhang Boren laughed, "If you are a sensible person, then it's you." Zhang Boren hugged Li Rong without any hesitation, and his big hands touched her body randomly.
Li Rong made a shy sound, completely ignoring the presence of other people.
Li Fengzhu also wanted to go. After all, in her opinion, if being a maid in the county magistrate's house was not a good life, Li Rong would not have gone to such great lengths to snatch it.
However, Zhang Boren originally planned to keep her because of her young age.
But Li Rong didn't want anyone to compete with her for favor, even if it was her niece. She deliberately lifted her hair. Zhang Boren was so scared that he screamed, "Get out, get out! You're so ugly and you still want to be next to me. Go to the quarry."
The quarry was the most tiring job, with soldiers watching over the workers. Li Fengzhu hated Li Rong to death.
But Li Rong gave her a victorious smile.
Zhang Boren was holding Li Rong in his arms and was anxious to go in and do something, so he wanted to send the person away quickly.
"Master, just find a village for them to settle down in." Zhang Boren said.
"Sir!" Li Rong hurriedly stopped him. "My family and the Gu family don't get along. They've bullied us all along the way. I'm afraid we'll have a hard time living in the same village from now on."
She cast a coquettish glance at Zhang Boren and said, "Separate us. Let's go to Qingshui Village."
"Qingshui Village?" Zhang Boren pinched her somewhere and said with a smile, "Okay, the Li family will go to Qingshui Village, and the Gu family..."
Although Zhang Boren wouldn't do anything for Li Rong, it was just a matter of a word from him. "Since the Gu family is so arrogant and domineering, let them suffer a little more. Master, which village is the most dilapidated?"
"Go back to Ningxi Village, sir."
"The Gu family should go to Ningxi Village." Zhang Boren smiled coldly and glanced at the faces of the Li family members, especially the women of the Li family. Their facial features were okay, but the pimple on their face was scary.
What a pity.
"Thank you, sir." Li Rong smiled proudly, and when she looked at the Gu family, she raised her chin high.
She never thought that the women of the Gu family were deliberately making themselves look ugly, she just thought that God was helping them.
However, Li Yuan didn't think so. With two villages, it would be inconvenient for him to persuade the Gu family to work for Rong Fei. "Sir, why don't we let the Gu family join us in Qingshui Village?"
Zhang Boren took a breath and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Still the majestic general on the battlefield? Li Yuan, right?"
After all, there are only two men in the Li family, and Li Ye has no manners when standing or sitting, and looks uncouth. It is obvious that he does not look like a general.
"That's right." Li Yuan straightened his back.
"What a fart? You are worse than a fart in my place. I'm giving you face, right? You want to live together? Okay, then you can go to Ningxi Village too."
"No!" Old Lady Li stopped him sternly, winking at Li Yuan repeatedly, "Sir, he... he's confused. Don't confront him again."
Li Rong also glared at Li Yuan, and then tried to comfort Zhang Boren in various ways.
Li Yuan wanted to be closer to the Gu family, but if it meant going to the poor Ningxi Village, he decided to give up.
"Master, please assign them some tasks. I have important matters to attend to."
After saying that, he hugged Li Rong and went in. After taking a few steps, Li Rong made a sound that made people blush and heartbeat.
Hu Xuefu smiled and nodded, "My lord, you are busy, I will take care of it right away."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Boren, Li Yuan went to find Gu Yuru instead. "Yuru, the conditions in Ningxi Village are tough. Life must be difficult for so many of you. Why don't you come back with the children? I will discuss this with Mother."
Gu Yuru's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
She has to go to the Li family to suffer instead of enjoying the good life at home. Is she sick?
"Li Yuan, thank you!"
