As soon as he arrived, the madam hurried up to greet him.
Huo San generously rewarded the madam with a silver ingot, and her face broke into a wide smile. She immediately summoned a girl familiar with Huo San to accompany him.
Huo San took the girl upstairs.
Huo Guangli had five sons and three daughters, and there were also concubines in his inner courtyard. Aside from his meager salary, the dowry from his main wife wasn't substantial either. None of them were good at making money grow, so where did Huo San get so much silver to squander?
Just as Zhang Xiaoying was about to follow, she was blocked by the madam: "This master looks unfamiliar; is this your first time visiting our establishment? Whatever type of girl you want, we have them all here!"
Zhang Xiaoying pulled out two silver ingots and passed them over, "I'm simply looking for a place to drink. Is there a private room upstairs? Please bring your best qin-playing girl! If she pleases me, there will be an extra reward."
