The voice of the proprietress came with a smile: "Oh, you are so generous, you just gave me five hundred gold coins. You really make me happy. But when a small shop opens its doors to do business, we must be friendly. How can we drive other customers away? How about this? The largest private room in Guiwu Pavilion is reserved for such a generous guest as you. I will take you over to have a look---"
Before he uttered the word "look" there came the sound of benches, tables and chairs being smashed.
"What are you looking at? I don't care whether you are from Guiwu Pavilion or Wugui Pavilion - damn, this name is too bad. No, no, I will give you a thousand gold and drive them away!"
"Master, please don't give me a hard time. You can see that he is a sensible and learned man." The landlady lied without hesitation and said with a crisp and sweet smile, "There are guests everywhere. If you are not satisfied with Guiwu Pavilion, I can also change you to another one. It is smaller, but elegant and beautiful. I will also give you a pipa song and dance for free. Do you think this is okay?"
"No! No! Fifteen thousand! Get them out!" the rough voice roared, "Don't dilly-dally! My master will be angry when he comes!"
