The group entered the inn.
The entire caravan, including Boss Du and his family, totaled thirty people.
Leng Lanzhi was visiting incognito this time, and she had to avoid being traced by certain people, so it seemed that there were only two of them, her and Gu Zhan.
In order to deceive others, she didn't even wear a veil.
Thirty-two people entered the inn, filling the relatively spacious inn lobby to the brim.
Not long after, Boss Du came over with some embarrassment and said to Leng Lanzhi: "Miss Shui, there are only four empty rooms left in the inn. I and the people below are squeezed together. I can barely squeeze into three rooms. That's it." I wonder if you can share a room with your wife and daughters?"
The identity Leng Lanzhi borrowed was called Shui Linglong, a scholar's daughter with a somewhat special status.
A few months ago, the scholar died of illness. Shui Linglong had no money to bury her father, so she chose to sell herself to bury her father, but she met a bully who was motivated by sex but also poor.
A bully raped a common girl on the street, but Shui Linglong, a weak woman, could not resist, so she had no choice but to die to keep her innocence.
Someone from Jinxing Division happened to be passing by when the incident happened, but that person showed up too late, and Miss Shui was already dead.
Later, Jin Xingsi dealt with the bully and impeached the local county magistrate for dereliction of duty. The magistrate was immediately removed from office.
It's a pity that poor girl Shui will never survive.
In order to fit Shui Linglong's identity, Leng Lanzhi's clothes were carefully selected. The skirt had no features except that it fit well. In order to keep warm, she wore a jacket underneath, which was a bit bloated.
The cloak is also a very ordinary style. Although the materials used on the inside are very exquisite, there is nothing special about it from the outside, and it may even look very poor.
As for Gu Zhan, who claimed to be her servant, he was dressed even more inconspicuously than Leng Lanzhi, and the mask on his face was featureless, just an ordinary black cowhide eyepatch, without any sense of beauty at all.
Boss Du has two daughters and two sons.
The eldest son, Du Jing, was eighteen years old. It was just to arrange marriage for him that the Du family returned to their hometown.
The eldest daughter, Du Lizhen, was the woman who said Leng Lanzhi was pretentious outside the inn.
The youngest daughter, Du Shuzhen, is more lively and seems to be relatively friendly so far.
It is said that the two are twins, but for some unknown reason, they don't look like they are carved from the same mold like other twins.
The youngest son is only eight years old.
Seeing Boss Du being so polite to Leng Lanzhi, Du Lizhen snorted: "Dad, you should ask us if we want to live with this country bumpkin!"
When she looked at Leng Lanzhi, there was obvious jealousy in her eyes.
The people of the Du family did not know that something had happened to the Shui family father and daughter. In their impression, Shui Linglong was the daughter of a poor scholar, and it was not an exaggeration to call her a country bumpkin.
It is unreasonable for such a cheap girl who grew up eating bran and throat vegetables to have better skin than the skinned Ji Wei, and to be more beautiful than she, the daughter of a wealthy family!
Sometimes, hostility between people comes out of nowhere.
Du Lizhen said with a look of disgust: "Anyway, I don't want to share a room with her!"
Boss Du was a little embarrassed: "Zhenzhen, it is inevitable that there will be inconveniences when you go out. Please be more considerate."
Du Shuzhen also said: "Yes, sister, Yiliu Town is holding the Rabbit God Festival, and all the inns in the town should be full at this time. If Miss Shui doesn't squeeze in with us, there will be no other inns at all.
It's so cold outside, we can't let their master and servant sleep on the streets, right? "
Du Lizhen snorted: "Who cares about them! Our Du family caravan has done our best to let these two poor people take a ride. As for where they sleep at night, what does it have to do with us?"
She crossed her arms and looked arrogant: "I don't want to live with this poor person anyway! I'm afraid that she will be infected with the poor spirit!"
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Oh, by the way, when I came here just now, I saw a Datongbu over there. Anyway, a poor person like her would definitely not care about this, so let her sleep in the Datongbu. alright."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of anger.
In fact, neither she nor he had to stay in this inn.
Leng Lanzhi was prepared to face various troubles before going out, and specially prepared some identity documents. These documents would allow her to get help from local officials along the way without revealing her true identity.
Including but not limited to conveniences such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Not to mention Gu Zhan, as the top commander of Jinxing Division, he knows all the strongholds of Jinxing Division, and generally has temporary residences.
It's just that they have a place to live. It's quite vicious that Du Lizhen wants to drive them out without knowing their cards.
Perhaps the other party's purpose was not to drive them away, but just to humiliate Leng Lanzhi...
But no matter which explanation it is, it's enough to make people angry.
Leng Lanzhi ignored Du Lizhen and said politely to Boss Du: "Since Miss Du and I hate each other, we'll say goodbye."
Du Lizhen's face darkened: "What did you say? How dare you hate me?"
Leng Lanzhi smiled slightly and said: "I prefer people with stable personalities. Miss Du is overly emotional and vicious in words. I really don't like you."
Du Lizhen's eyes widened: "You are so poor, what right do you have to hate me?"
Leng Lanzhi thought it was ridiculous: "Since we met, every word you said has been an attack on me, why can't I hate you?
Although I accept Boss Du's affection, there is no need to spoil you, right? "
Boss Du originally had a look of guilt on his face, but after hearing Leng Lanzhi's words, his face darkened.
Everyone in the caravan also looked at Leng Lanzhi with unkind eyes.
In their opinion, this little girl is too ignorant.
Although Miss Du's words may sound a bit unpleasant, but you won't lose two pieces of meat if you listen to a few more words.
What happened to Ren Ren?
Boss Du frowned and said, "Miss Shui, think about it. It's freezing outside, and the inns in Yiliu Town are almost empty. If you leave because of a few words of disagreement, what will happen by then?" Don’t blame our firm!”
Leng Lanzhi's smile turned cold: "Boss Lao Du doesn't care anymore. Since we leave, we won't let ourselves freeze to death."
"You're so awesome, just leave now! What nonsense are you talking about! You lingered and refused to leave, didn't you just dare not leave? Since you don't dare to leave, come and beg me! You made me happy, and I Maybe the young lady will let you stay." Du Lizhen said scornfully: "You are obviously so poor that you are going to die, how can you pretend to be so noble as a young lady! Ah!"
Du Lizhen exclaimed, suddenly bent her right knee and knelt heavily on the ground.
Leng Lanzhi's eyes moved slightly, and she realized that it was Gu Zhan who did it. A smile flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly: "Miss Du, you don't have to be like this. No matter how hard you try to stay, we still have to leave."
