The newly replaced Tianzi Room C was clean and tidy, with a firethorn bonsai that stays green in winter placed inside, and the beddings had been changed to silk. On the table were arranged melon seeds, candied fruits, desert dates, and pastries, and even two charcoal braziers had been brought in.
Xiao Man looked on as Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu got busy for a while, then pointed to a brazier and said, "One brazier is enough for the room; we are not paying for the superfluous one!"
Xiao Wu hurriedly bent over and smirked, "The shopkeeper feels extremely guilty for startling all the honored guests just now and has specially instructed this lowly one to prepare these to apologize. Moreover, your room fees have been waived from now on, stay as long as you wish."
Zhang Zheng grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table, cracking them one by one and mused, "Don't your inn want to make money? Why always do this kind of loss-making business?"
