Lu Yuhong said, "I'm only a third full. If it weren't for the fact that it would be impolite to exhaust Miss Wei, I'd ask her to make a few more fish."
Then, Lu Yuhong sighed, "If I could exchange fish for money, it would be easy, but this really as difficult. I do want to offer money, but she is a young lady from a distinguished family, giving her silver would belittle her. And it would be inappropriate to give her something else. She's a young girl and I'm a rough man, to give her gifts may bother her, and worse, if someone hears it, it could ruin her reputation."
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate now," Chu Lan said.
"Your Highness, please don't tease me. I may be a bit rough, but I still understand the basic rules," defended Lu Yuhong, for he, too, came from an aristocratic family.
