"Only those with high moral character can have it exclusively. I wonder if Official Hu received such an invitation."
"Hmph, I wouldn't stoop to such places." Hu Hua detected Chu Heng's insinuation of his lack of character, and his face turned green with anger as he flung his sleeve and left in shame.
Chu Heng merely took a sip of his tea with a silent smile, saying nothing.
However, a few officials he was familiar with, part of his newly developed connections, came over to console him, advising not to take Hu Hua's words to heart as he was known to be petty and arguing with such a person was a waste of effort.
That was the gist of it.
Chu Heng naturally accepted their goodwill with a smile and handed out a few invitation cards to them.
The officials saw that the package was for a private room, priced at twenty taels per month but could accommodate four or five people, which when divided, amounted to four or five taels per person, not expensive at all.
