Chapter 36
Where Did This Important Figure Come From?
“Shopkeeper Huang, this is the new Longjing this year. Please drink first, our lord will be here soon.” The bailiff forced a bright smile on his face and asked the beautiful maid to serve Huang Rongfa tea.
Huang Ronghua’s face was full of fear and trepidation. He took the teacup with both hands and carefully sat on a third of the chair’s surface with his b.u.t.t. He could stand up immediately if there was any movement.
There were no extravagant and expensive decorations in the flower hall, but the simple decorations could not hide the imposing manner. It was the first time for a commoner like Huang Ronghua to come to such a place, so he could not help but feel a little nervous.
“The County Master is here!” The attendant’s announcement soon sounded.
Huang Ronghua raised his head and looked in the direction of the Flower Hall’s main door with a smile.
However, what surprised Huang Ronghua was that the person in the lead was not the County Master, Fu Cheng, but a man with an extraordinary bearing.
The moment he saw the man, Huang Rongfa thought that he had seen a G.o.d descending into the world.
Huang Rongfa had never thought that there would be a man with such exquisite looks in this world. The man was dressed in a dark long robe. He was as handsome as a sculpture, and the aura around him was imposing without being angry. The moment he appeared, he had the pressure of a superior. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths and kept quiet out of fear.
Huang Rongfa’s legs went soft and he knelt down with a thump. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat!
The man did not say a word, but he could make people kneel down and submit just by relying on his aura.
Such a person was obviously from a n.o.ble background. He was definitely not a n.o.ble person that could stay in a small place like Qingyuan Town.
However, Huang Rongfa felt that this Young Master’s aura was somewhat similar to Lady Gu’s. Although Lady Gu’s aura was not as sharp as this Young Master’s, she was also like a cloud on a mountain peak, cold and n.o.ble.
Huang Rongfa did not dare to offend such a n.o.ble person. Even though he was thinking about it, he did not dare to look at this Young Master directly. He was afraid that if he were to offend him with his gaze, he would get burned.
It was only when Rong Zhan and Huang Rongfa brushed past each other that the frightening pressure dissipated a little, causing Huang Rongfa to heave a sigh of relief.
Only then did Huang Rongfa have the chance. He carefully looked up and saw a square-faced middle-aged man in a dark purple robe following closely behind Rong Zhan.
Huang Rongfa recognized this person. He was the County Master of the Yamen, Lord Fu Cheng.
Huang Rongfa maintained his kneeling posture and turned to bow to the few of them. “Greetings, County Master.”
Fu Cheng saw that Rong Zhan had no intention of speaking, so he smiled slightly and said kindly, “You don’t have to be so polite, Shopkeeper Huang. Please take a seat.”
Huang Rongfa nodded and then watched helplessly as Fu Cheng took the initiative to give the main seat to Rong Zhan. He was like a small follower, obediently standing behind Rong Zhan.
At that moment, Huang Rongfa looked at Rong Zhan with more and more fear in his eyes.
Where on earth did this big shot come from, to actually let the County Master accompany him?
Huang Rongfa’s little heart thumped, and his b.u.t.t leaned against a chair as he sat carefully.
Rong Zhan acted as if he did not see Huang Rongfa. He stretched out his hand and took a sip of the tea that Liu Yi handed over. His movements were lazy and calm, exuding the demeanor of everyone.
“I just heard that Shopkeeper Huang is here to deliver the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s? I wonder where it is?” Fu Cheng did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
The master beside him traveled thousands of miles to Qingyuan town just to understand the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s. If Huang Rongfa really brought the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s, it would also be a great contribution to him.
“Reporting to my lord, the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s is here.” Huang Rongfa stood up quickly. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Cheng.
