Chapter 150: Green Water City
Chapter 150: Green Water City
At noon on the third day after Ye Yanxing and his companions arrived in Baiyun Town, Baiyun County Magistrate Zhang hurried over.
"I didn't know that Prince Wei and Prince Yan were coming. I failed to welcome you in person. Please punish me, Your Highnesses!" County Magistrate Zhang knelt down and saluted.
"There's no need to be so polite, Magistrate Zhang. Please stand up," Ye Beiting said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" County Magistrate Zhang trembled with fear.
The psychological activities of other soldiers were the same. If Ye Yanxing came alone, he would also come here as soon as possible, but he would not be so panicked.
Because he could feel that Ye Yanxing actually didn't like their interruption.
Sometimes, County Magistrate Zhang even suspected that if it weren't for these necessary social engagements, Ye Yanxing might not even want to bother with them.
After all, when there were some matters in the county that needed to be reported to their superiors, they would go directly to Fu Qianrun.
Many times, I couldn’t even see Ye Yanxing.
"Sir Zhang manages this place well, he deserves a reward." This was said by Ye Yanxing.
Apart from doing his job impartially, he didn't seem to have rewarded anyone.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness! What I have done is all within my duty. The greatest contribution goes to Hengyu. He is the one who runs the entire salt field, and I am just cooperating with him." County Magistrate Zhang did not take credit for it.
"Don't worry, he will have it too."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Is anything happening here?" Ye Yanxing ignored his compliment.
"Reporting to the prince, nothing serious has happened." County Magistrate Zhang reported truthfully, "Since learning how to eat many kinds of seafood, local residents have also started to catch a lot of seafood for sale. It has now become a unique delicacy in Baiyun Town."
"Yeah." Ye Yanxing nodded, not wanting to comment too much, as long as things were developing in a good direction.
County Magistrate Zhang stayed with them at the salt field for two days. Seeing that Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting had finished their work and were ready to go back, he invited them to go to the city for two days.
Ye Yanxing has no interest in it, but Ye Beiting does!
"Okay, okay, nephew, how about we go out and play for two days before coming back?"
How could Ye Yanxing say no? "Okay."
So they followed County Magistrate Zhang to Bishui City.
Baiyun Town is not far from Bishui City and can be reached in just one day.
They set out in the morning and arrived at dusk.
"Your Highness, would you two like to live in the county magistrate's mansion?" County Magistrate Zhang asked for their opinions.
"No need, we can just stay in the inn." Ye Yanxing replied.
Magistrate Zhang has a wife, four concubines, and several children at home. It would not be appropriate for the two outsiders to go.
"Yes, let's stay in an inn." Ye Beiting thought much more simply. If he stayed in an inn, he could go downstairs and get something to eat.
"Then please follow Your Highness. The two gentlemen, please come in and have dinner!" County Magistrate Zhang tried his best to keep them.
"Okay." This time Ye Yanxing did not refuse.
Ye Beiting also nodded.
Magistrate Zhang ordered the doorman to come over.
"Master, you are back!" The concierge first saluted County Magistrate Zhang, then turned around to greet Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting, "My humble servant greets you two masters."
"Yes." Ye Beiting nodded, "Let's go, Master Zhang."
"Please come in, gentlemen."
Magistrate Zhang came in with his men.
The county magistrate's wife came out with her people to greet them, "The master is back!"
"Well, this is..."
"We are passing by and want to come in for a quick meal." Ye Yanxing interrupted Magistrate Zhang.
"These two are Mr. Ye. We will have dinner at home tonight. Please ask someone to prepare some food." Magistrate Zhang changed his words and instructed his wife.
"Yes, sir." Although the county magistrate's wife was confused, she still obediently left with a group of concubines and several children.
Several concubines were also curious about who the two men their master brought back were. They were so handsome, but it was a pity that they had no chance.
Just because they didn't have the chance, didn't mean they couldn't take a few more glances, so when they left, they secretly glanced at Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting several times.
After being warned by the county magistrate's wife, he restrained himself and followed her away obediently.
"Gentlemen, please follow me to the dining room." Ye Yanxing did not allow them to reveal their identities, so Magistrate Zhang had to change his words.
"Ah."
The three of them came to the dining room, and not long after they sat down, the county magistrate's wife came with her maid to serve the dishes.
After the dishes were served, the county magistrate's wife was unsure whether to leave.
In Qingli, when important guests come, the wife can receive them together with her husband.
But the county magistrate's wife saw that the two guests were of extraordinary status, to the extent that even County Magistrate Zhang had to bow down and serve them, so she was not sure whether she could stay.
Fortunately, Ye Yanxing spoke up, "Mrs. Zhang, please stay and eat with us."
The county magistrate’s wife looked at County Magistrate Zhang.
County Magistrate Zhang nodded, and she sat down next to him. "Excuse me, gentlemen."
"It's okay, let's eat." Ye Beiting now just wanted to eat and go back to sleep, and then go to the city to stroll around and try the local delicacies tomorrow.
"Hey, good!"
During the whole process, County Magistrate Zhang was fine, after all, he had seen such scenes many times, but his wife was more reserved.
Fortunately, Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting did not stay long. They left after eating.
Magistrate Zhang had already asked someone to book a room at the best inn in Bishui City, so they could just go there directly.
"Master, who are they?" The county magistrate's wife couldn't help but ask after Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting left.
Magistrate Zhang stroked his beard and said, "It's Prince Yan and Prince Wei."
There is nothing to hide about this, and the county magistrate's wife has always known her limits. County magistrate Zhang discusses everything with her, and their relationship is very harmonious.
"Prince Yan? Prince Wei?" The county magistrate's wife was also surprised. She actually had the honor of dining at the same table with two princes.
"Well, it's good for Madam to know. There's no need to make it public. King Yan likes quietness."
"Yes! I understand, don't worry, sir." The county magistrate's wife nodded.
Fortunately, she didn't know about it in advance, otherwise it would not be so stable.
However, she also reflected on herself. She had already had dinner with the prince and had seen a big scene. She had to be more stable in the future.
"Yes." County Magistrate Zhang has always trusted his wife, who is very sensible and cannot be compared to his concubines.
So even if he took in more concubines, no one could surpass the county magistrate's wife.
This is also the reason why his inner house is peaceful. He does not give any concubines the opportunity to have wild thoughts and they cannot make trouble.
Ye Yanxing and Ye Beiting followed the servant to the inn. They took a casual look around the inn and went straight into the room.
"Dear guests, do you need dinner delivered to your room?" The waiter led the two upstairs and asked at the door.
"No need." Ye Yanxing replied, "Just prepare hot water."
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. The hot water will be here soon!" The waiter said and went downstairs.
Soon, the hot water came.
Ye Yanxing took a quick shower and then sat by the window to watch the lively scene downstairs. It was not yet completely dark and it was still very lively outside.
He didn't feel tired, but he didn't want to go out either. Now Ye Yanxing just wanted to sit here and daydream.
