Chapter 10 - Lodging
Yin Xu went to change into clean clothes, then led a group of people to the county magistrate court in a grandiose manner.
The guards who went to report first had already woken up County Magistrate Chen's concubine. They were currently ordering all of the household's servants to clean up the place.
“Hurry up, you haven't eaten yet!” “All the corners have been wiped clean for this official, not a single speck of dust is allowed to fall …”
“Hurry up and bring out the mountain and river double-sided embroidered screen from the storehouse and place it in the main room. Move faster, the First Prince and the other young masters will be arriving soon …”
“Is the Plum Blossom Bottle ready?” What? Even the plum blossoms had fallen? “Then hurry!”
“Madam!” Quickly go to the kitchen and see if the supper is ready… “If there's not enough ingredients, we'll smash open the Luck Tower and have them prepare a few snacks and send them over!”
When Yin Xu arrived at the magistrate court, he saw that it was brightly lit and busily waiting, while County Magistrate Chen led his family and waited outside the door.
Upon seeing this person, County Magistrate Chen led his family to kneel down and kowtowed nine times before respectfully bringing the person in.
Yin Xu looked at the flattering and terrified faces and smiled slightly. This was power, how joyful would it be to see all these people crawling at his feet? How could it not be tempting?
In Yin Xu's previous life, he was not obsessed with fame and wealth, he only pursued strength! However, strength often brought fame and benefits.
However, his reputation would probably last for more than ten thousand years.
If it was another world, everything would have started anew. Yin Xu would naturally not be satisfied with his current state, and let others yell at him as they pleased, enduring all their contempt.
County Magistrate Chen looked at Yin Xu who was walking at the back of the group. Could it be that the First Prince and his men went to the Huo Family Manor first?
It was only now that the County Magistrate Chen truly believed what Yin Xu had said in the day. Perhaps, in the eyes of the First Prince and the others, he was only comparable to a piece of trash with the surname of Huo Family.
However, speaking of trash, the current Huo Tian was no longer the same as before. Although he was still wearing a torn cotton-padded jacket, his noble aura was not inferior to any of the young masters present.
This Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters might really soar into the sky!
County Magistrate Chen had people set up supper time in the Flower Hall. A mahogany table filled with food was placed, and eight small plates of snacks were placed on it.
Yin Xu indifferently occupied one of the seats on the Eight Immortals Table. County Magistrate Chen broke out in a cold sweat because of his actions, as he was not sure if the Seventh Young Master Huo had the qualifications to sit at the table or not.
But since even the First Prince did not open his mouth to chase them away, of course the County Magistrate Chen would not act as such.
The only person who looked angrily at Yin Xu was Huo Yiloong, but he was not stupid enough to make Huo Tian lose face at such an occasion.
Yin Xu had not eaten much recently and was always hungry every day. It was just that he had a strong restraining force, saying that he wouldn't eat meat if he didn't want to eat it.
He tried all the pastries on the table and secretly decided to take them with him when he returned. Compared to the other dishes, these sweet and not greasy pastries suited his taste.
Since he liked it, he directly asked for it. County Magistrate Chen was also generous and not only did he nod his head in agreement, he even gave him a master who would cook dim sum for him.
Yin Xu's opinion of this man had greatly improved, and he decided to spare young master Chen's little life.
Since sleep was near, they did not use much, the rest were rewarded to the guards who followed them.
County Magistrate Chen gave his main house to the First Prince to live in. The house was burning with incense and several charcoal pots.
The First Prince was rather satisfied with the environment and said amiably, “When I came here to spend the night, Lord Chen spent quite a bit.”
County Magistrate Chen fearfully replied: “Your Highness has changed my life. Your presence brings great honor to my humble house in An County. It is my great honor to be able to receive Your Highness.”
After settling down the First Prince, County Magistrate Chen went to each of the young masters' rooms and showed his face.
Yin Xu leaned on a pillar of the corridor with both hands, seeing County Magistrate Chen coming out from the last young master's room, he laughed and asked: “Master Chen, how about staying here for the night?”
The County Magistrate Chen was not that courteous to Yin Xu, but his attitude was still a lot more respectful than before, “That's only natural, how can we let Seventh Young Master travel at night, it's just that the number of rooms in this yamen is limited, we can only inconvenience the Seventh Young Master and this official's residence.”
“Thank you very much.” Yin Xu turned his head to look at Huo Yiloong's room, and then silently followed County Magistrate Chen.
