"Madam, bring me a table of good wine and food, plus two girls to sing, two to dance, and two to pour my wine and serve my food."
At that shout, many of the people drinking in the Fragrant Pavilion turned toward the entrance. Where had this big spender come from?
The Fragrant Pavilion was the most expensive pleasure house in Capital City, in all of Great Ming. This man had ordered six girls at once-did he have money to burn?
The madam came out beaming. She appreciated big spenders like this most of all, but the instant she saw who had come in, her smile vanished.
"Great Hero Lu, of course we have wine and food, but more guests will be arriving soon at this hour. Aren't six girls a little too many?"
Lu the Freeloader had arrived. How could the madam possibly smile?
Although Lord Lin had said to put all of Lu Xiaofeng's expenses on his tab, the madam hardly dared.
Lu Xiaofeng looked as though the madam were being terribly stingy. "Fine, then. Three girls as usual, and have a bathtub prepared. I need a good soak to wash away the fatigue."
Early the next morning, Lu Xiaofeng climbed out of bed, drank a couple of mouthfuls of tea, dressed, and made his familiar way to another room nearby.
He knew that as soon as he arrived here, Lin Lang would hear about it, and that Lin Lang certainly would not disturb him the night before.
He grabbed a soup dumpling and popped it into his mouth. His eyes lit up, and he swiftly ate several more before taking a mouthful of steamed egg custard to slow down.
"It's been ages since I had such a good breakfast. Guess what I've been doing lately?"
Lin Lang
