Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

As expected of Fumanlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, the floor is paved entirely with white jade, each piece polished smooth as a mirror.

The jade was coated with a special oil, making it as clear and translucent as amber, which illuminated the entire hall.

The seams are almost invisible.

As you walk up, your shadow is cast on the floor, so clear that you can see your features clearly.

Lin Feng was amazed.

For modern people, this kind of decoration is nothing special.

Marble floors and glass are everywhere.

But in the Great Wei Dynasty, it was absolutely extravagant.

As soon as Lin Feng led the four women through the gate, a servant immediately followed behind them with a rag and carefully wiped the floor they had stepped on.

They moved swiftly and without missing a single detail. By the time they reached the counter, the floor behind them was spotless again.

Two servants stood at the door, each holding a rag, responsible for cleaning the floor.

It's similar to those cleaning ladies walking around with mops in modern hotel lobbies, but with a much more imposing presence.

Lin Feng walked to the counter.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, with fair skin, a small mustache, and shrewd eyes.

He glanced at Lin Feng and his group's attire and immediately put on a smile.

"Young master, would you like to stay at an inn or have a meal?"

"Checking in at a hotel."

Lin Feng asked directly, "How much is the best room here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"The best room in Fumanlou is the Tianzi room, which is a two-story independent building in the backyard. It is quiet in the middle of the city and costs twenty taels of silver a day."

Eight people were assigned to serve her—four maids and four servants, all of whom had martial arts skills and could act as bodyguards.

They also deliver fine wines, snacks, and seasonal fruits every day—everything you could want.

He paused, then added, "The 'Di' grade is one level lower; it's a courtyard house, ten taels of silver a day, with two maids and two servants, and also some snacks."

Lin Feng nodded.

"That's right, the top-tier one."

The shopkeeper didn't reply, but just smiled and shook his head.

"Young master, having money alone isn't enough to secure a top-tier position."

Those who could stay there had to be of high status—at least they had to be from a prominent family or be relatives of officials of the fourth rank or above in the imperial court.

"Does the young master possess any family heirlooms?"

Lin Feng waved his hand.

"No, we don't have that."

"Then forget it, let's just use the address."

"Alright!" The innkeeper wasn't disappointed and quickly took out the account book. "How many days does the young master plan to stay?"

"Ten days first."

"Okay, the deposit is fifty taels, the room rate is one hundred taels, that's one hundred and fifty taels in total."

The shopkeeper quickly wrote out the receipt and handed it to Lin Feng with both hands.

Lin Feng took out some silver from his sleeve and placed it on the counter.

The shopkeeper nodded, put it in the drawer, and called out to the side:

"Someone, take the young master to the Earth section in the backyard!"

A waiter came running over, his face beaming with smiles.

"Young master, this way please."

-

After passing through the lobby and going around a corridor, the view suddenly opened up before me.

The backyard is a separate world, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and shady green trees.

Several courtyard houses are scattered throughout the area, with a small garden in the middle featuring artificial hills, flowing water, birdsong, and fragrant flowers.

Despite being in the most bustling area of ​​Beijing, this place is as quiet as another world.

A quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle.

The waiter led them to a courtyard house and pushed open the gate.

"Young master, this is the place."

Are you satisfied with this?

Lin Feng walked in and looked around.

The courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs and planted with several green bamboo stalks.

There are three main rooms and one wing room each on the east and west sides, which is enough for them to live in.

Upon entering the room, one finds it equally luxurious.

The floor was covered with a thick plush carpet.

Several paintings and calligraphies by famous artists were hanging on the wall. Lin Feng immediately recognized one of them as a landscape by Zhang Chengwen—he could now paint Zhang Chengwen's works with his eyes closed.

There was a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) by the window; it was exquisitely crafted and must be quite valuable.

Several blue and white porcelain vases and a few small bronze items were displayed on the display cabinet.

Every corner exudes luxury.

Xueyao, Su Shi, and Su Qin had all been to brothels and seen the world, but even they couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

The brothel was already quite luxurious, but compared to this place, it was several levels below.

"Young master," Xueyao whispered, "no wonder the deposit is fifty taels."

"If even one thing in this house is broken, it would cost a lot of money to pay for it, right?"

Lin Feng nodded.

He looked at the painting by Zhang Chengwen on the wall and suddenly felt a little itchy.

Zhang Chengwen's paintings are so valuable, and he can paint well and has seals, why don't we paint a few and sell them?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

waste time.

There are so many good things in this space, you could easily spend them all by taking out just one item.

Why bother making fake paintings?

-

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Young master, we are your maids."

Xiao Tao hurriedly ran to open the door.

The door opened, and two pretty maids stood in the doorway, both around fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Xiao Tao.

She had a pretty and charming appearance, wore a uniform light blue dress, and had her hair neatly combed, clearly indicating that she had received training.

As expected of Fu Man Lou, even the maids are so beautiful.

"Greetings, young master." The two maids curtsied in unison.

Lin Feng turned to look at the four women.

Are you hungry?

Xueyao shook her head.

"I'm not hungry, but I'm sweating all over and want to take a shower."

After two days of travel, although the helicopter ride wasn't tiring, the two days of tension left me drenched in sweat.

The women had been wanting to take a good bath for a while.

Lin Feng said to the maid:

"Go get some bathwater, we're going to have a nice bath."

"Yes, young master, I'll arrange it immediately."

The two maids turned and left, their footsteps light and silent.

"OK.

There are still three months until the provincial examination; there's plenty of time.

Let's enjoy ourselves in the capital first, no rush.

"Yes, young master."

-

In less than a quarter of an hour, two servants carried in a large wooden tub.

The wooden tub was enormous, a full two meters in diameter and deep enough to hold four or five people. They placed the tub in the center of the living room and then went out to fetch hot water.

The two servants were quite strong; each of them carried two large buckets of hot water, making trip after trip to deliver them inside.

In no time, the large wooden tub was filled with steam, and a few flower petals floated on the surface of the water—it was unclear when they had been added.

Two maids stood to one side, hands at their sides, respectfully standing.

"Young master, the water is ready."

Shall we serve you and the ladies a bath?

Lin Feng waved his hand.

"No need, we'll do it ourselves."

You may all leave.

"Yes, young master, we'll wait outside."

Please feel free to contact me if you need anything.

After the two maids finished speaking, they curtsied, quietly left the room, and closed the door behind them.

After the maid left, Xiao Tao and Xue Yao surrounded Lin Feng and helped him undress.

Su Shi and Su Qin exchanged a glance and came over to help.

The water in the large wooden tub rippled, reflecting the sunlight outside the window.

-

One hour later.

Outside the door, two maids stood on the veranda, their faces as red as ripe shrimp.

They kept their heads down, neither daring to look at the other.

Having served as a maid for so long and served so many guests, this is the first time I've ever heard such a loud commotion.
