Chapter 9: The Courtyard Shop

The shopping mall is full of all kinds of goods, with brilliant colors and extraordinary beauty.

The fat cat lay quietly on the counter, looking at everyone who entered the mall.

"These paper lanterns were only used in the mansions of nobles during the Heian period. Do you want to buy it? ”

The fat cat saw Guan Hu stop in front of a row of lanterns, and immediately introduced the lanterns to Chen Beibei and them.

"How much does it cost?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"One hundred gold coins, look here, the price of each item will be indicated below the meow ......"

Ibuki pointed to the numbers on the shelves with lanterns and said to Chen Beibei.

The price above is the same as what Chen Beibei saw in the system store.

It seems that Ibuki is still a conscientious businessman.

Or rather.

Ibuki just has a store here and is in charge of selling these goods.

"Let's buy four first."

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and said to it.

Shikami, who temporarily lives in the courtyard, only Tu Wall, Ignorant Fire, and the three brothers and sisters of Jumping.

Tubi does not need to live in a house.

The three brothers and sisters slept in one house, and the other house slept in ignorance.

At present, there are only two houses in the courtyard that are inhabited.

Four lanterns are enough.

"In other words, Hopping Sister, Hopping Brother, Hopping Brother, Hopping Brother, what you like, just choose for yourself. I still have a lot of gold now. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the three brothers and sisters and said to them.

As soon as the three brothers and sisters entered the mall, they already looked like they were about to drool.

Apparently.

There's a lot of stuff in there that they want.

"Well, thank you, master."

The three brothers and sisters said to Chen Beibei together.

After the three siblings finished speaking, they ran directly to the mall, and soon disappeared behind the shelves full of goods.

Zhihuo stood quietly beside Chen Beibei, and his eyes wandered among those goods.

These days.

I don't know that I have always lived in the courtyard, and the life in this must be boring.

It's safe though.

But.

Because there were only the three brothers and sisters in the courtyard who accompanied her, this made her feel lonely.

You must know that Shiranui was once the most popular singer on Yoshiwara Islands.

Even if in the end, I don't know the fire and see through the sinister hearts of people.

The memories that were once crowded, chanted, full of flowers and applause, are also hard to forget.

"I don't know the fire, what do you want, I'll go and see it with you."

Chen Beibei looked at Zhihuo and said to her.

The fiery red flame butterfly gently landed on Shiranui's shoulders, and even in winter, Shiranui was still wearing an off-the-shoulder colorful dress, while the butterfly stood quietly on Shiranui's collarbone, slowly opening and closing its wings.

"Hmm."

Shiranui nodded, and began to choose what he wanted.

Soon.

Shiranui stopped in front of what looked like an image scroll.

Although it looks like a picture scroll.

However, it is clear that it is not a picture scroll, because it is something that seems unreal.

It's not any material, it's something like a cloud.

Those things gathered together, the colors were complex, and they were extremely gorgeous, which reminded Chen Beibei of the scene when he first saw the Liren Pavilion. I don't know why I thought of this, it seems that there are some similarities between the two.

"This girl is really discerning, and the name of the product you see is Geisha Hall Wallpaper, although the name sounds very ordinary. However, this product is a truly rare treasure meow......"

The fat cat said as he gently stroked what looked like a picture scroll.

Geisha hall wallpaper.

This name let Chen Beibei know why he thought of the Liren Pavilion.

After all.

In a sense, the Pavilion is also a geisha house. It's just that compared to ordinary geisha halls, the Liren Pavilion is more mysterious and more advanced.

"The price of this item is very expensive, and your owner looks like a very poor onmyoji, girl, you better not like this item......"

The fat cat's eyes had a hint of funny, and when he spoke, was he secretly observing Chen Beibei and Shiranhuo's reactions. At first glance, it's a idea.

Chen Beibei glanced at the price of the wallpaper in the geisha hall and couldn't help but gasp.

100000!

This is something that Chen Beibei didn't expect at all, after all, Chen Beibei had roughly browsed the goods in the courtyard store in the system before.

The price of it doesn't seem to be so exaggerated.

100,000 gold coins, this number is still a bit much for Chen Beibei.

When he asked the three brothers and sisters to pick what they wanted, Chen Beibei only felt that he had more than 300,000 gold coins, which should be enough.

Now think about it.

Seem...... More than 300,000 gold coins are completely insufficient.

"It's not like Ibuki changed the price himself, right?"

Chen Beibei glanced at Ibuki, who was also staring at Chen Beibei secretly from the corner of his eye.

"The price is set by the system, although I am the owner of this store, but I have no way to change the price. If you don't believe me, you can check it out for yourself in the system. ”

Ibuki looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

When Ibuki spoke, he looked fearless.

Probably because I really didn't do anything wrong, I was so arrogant.

Chen Beibei directly entered the system.

At this time, Chen Beibei didn't just plan to look at the price of the geisha hall wallpaper.

I also want to figure out the total number of gold coins I have.

Before, I just looked at the number of gold coins I had, and I just thought that the gold coins would not be used up, so I didn't care much about the number of gold coins.

That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Gold coins may also need to be used carefully, otherwise they may be used for more than one.

【Geisha Hall Wallpaper - 100000】

Chen Beibei quickly found the price of the wallpaper at the Geisha Museum, which was the same price as the price in the Ibuki store.

It seems that Ibuki didn't lie to himself, and the price of the store, Ibuki can't change it.

"Notice of Balance Change: Onmyoji-sama, you have purchased four lanterns in the Ibuki Shop, and they cost a total of 400 gold.

310,000 gold remaining! ”

When Chen Beibei just clicked on the interface of the gold coin asset, a message popped up.

The remaining gold coins were only 310,000.

This also means that Chen Beibei's gold coins are actually not too many, and there is no way for these gold coins to build a perfect courtyard.

Chen Beibei's gold coins were mainly in the period when he had just obtained the system.

During that time, bounty quests will be refreshed every once in a while, and rewards can be claimed by completing them. At that time, Chen Beibei would almost as soon as there was a bounty task, he would immediately do it.

But then there was a task of a drunken boy, and that task made Chen Beibei a long, long time.

Later, the role of gold coins in Chen Beibei was no longer great.

Bounty quests also lost their appeal to Chen Beibei.

So I didn't go to the bounty quest all the time, but looked for the legendary demon in various places.

"Onmyoji, I didn't lie to you. The price of this item is 100,000 gold coins, and if you are going to buy it, then I will tell you the story of this item. ”

Ibuki said.

At this time, Shiranui's gaze still fell on the wallpaper of the geisha house.

Apparently.

Shiranui has already been attracted to this commodity.

Ibuki turned his head to look at Shiranui, a smug smile on his face.

The cat laughed......

Especially this kind of fat, shrewd cat laughs, which really makes people's hearts hairy.

"Tell me about it."

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and said to him.

At this time, Chen Beibei was already planning to buy this product.

Although Chen Beibei only has a total of 310,000 gold coins.

But.

Since it's something that Shiranui likes, it's worth spending 100,000 gold coins.

After all.

In Chen Beibei's heart, it was originally a very lucky thing to be able to take Shiranhuo as his own Shishen.

After taking Shiranui as a Shikigami, Shiranui has always lived in the garden.

This made Chen Beibei feel a little guilty about not knowing the fire.

"Then I'll start talking about meow......"

Ibuki jumped onto the container with the geisha's wallpaper, and the white-orange cat seemed to blend into the pair. Since Chen Beibei couldn't tell whether there was a fat cat with white and orange in the wallpaper.

"Ah...... The cat got into the wallpaper ......"

Shiranui, who was obsessed with watching it, suddenly exclaimed.

"Meow, girl, it's me!"

Ibuki said in a very gentlemanly voice with a funny expression on his face.

This made Chen Beibei feel.

Ibuki is a very unserious cat......

"During the Tokugawa Ieyasu period, Yoshiwara was established as the Land of Wind and Moon. It was one of only three Fengyue places opened by the imperial court at that time. Dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy families all linger here.

What I'm going to talk about next is exactly what happened in Yoshiwara.

There is a sea area in Yoshihara, which is called the Dream Sea, and there is a lonely island in the middle of the Dream Sea.

Known as outlying islands! ”

When Ibuki said this, Shiranui's pupils dilated unconsciously.

"Outlying islands...... Yoshiwara remote islands ......"

Shiranui's breathing seemed a little disordered, and no one was more familiar with this place than her.

The flame butterfly that rested on Shiranui's collarbone flew up gently and fluttered in front of Shiranui. Shiranui watched the flaming butterfly gradually calm down.

"Meow, this girl seems to be very interested in the outlying islands......"

Ibrag said stupidly.

It can be seen that Ibuki must have known about Shiranui.

And.

Ibuki must know Shiranui, too.

You can feel it in Ibuki's eyes, as well as in Ibuki's tone.

"This cat always gives people a bad feeling. You won't be cheated out of money. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and thought in his heart.

The price of the goods is real and cannot be changed at will.

But.

What exactly the origin of the goods is, no one knows.

The story that Ibuki told.

made Chen Beibei feel that Ibuki just wanted to sell this high-priced commodity as soon as possible.

"Ben Meow is going to continue to talk about meow, in the outlying islands, there is a place called Liren Pavilion.

This is not a place for ordinary people to enter.

Even those dignitaries and dignitaries who lingered in Yoshiwara, and wealthy businessmen could not easily enter the Liren Pavilion.

So.

For everyone, the Liren Pavilion has become a mysterious place.

Everybody says.

Yoshiwara's best singing and dancing girls are all in the Liren Pavilion, and the Kabuki in the Liren Pavilion sometimes come out. However, every time they come out, they will dress up in disguise and will not be recognized by anyone.

And then.

On the night of a new moon, a kabuki named Mizuki performs on a high stage in the Rijin Pavilion.

Everybody said it was just an impromptu performance.

Because the Liren Pavilion did not notify anyone in advance, nor did it go out of its way to invite anyone.

Mizuki's performance was discovered by drunken tourists.

It was a scene they will never forget, because they had never seen such a beautiful woman, and they had never seen such a stunning performance.

The performance of the water moon ended quickly.

It's very short-lived, and even just for a few people to see. But even so, there are still people who recognize the true identity of Shui Yue.

- Yukihime!

A geisha who was once enshrined as an Oiran by the Three Great Winds and Moons, the name of Yukihime was once known to everyone, and everyone knew it.

But.

Xue Ji quietly disappeared from everyone's sight at the glorious moment when she was looked up at like the stars holding the moon.

During that time, every day was dark for people.

Yukihime has only appeared once since.

That's when Yukihime improvised on the high stage of the Liren Pavilion.

People are looking forward to it even more.

Even if there will be no one performing in the Liren Pavilion all year round, there will still be people in the sea near the Liren Pavilion, moored until late at night, and those people are probably waiting for Yukihime to appear again.

They didn't wait for Yukihime.

After Yukihime performed once on the high stage of the Liren Pavilion, it was as if the world had evaporated.

In the days that followed, only some rumors about Xue Ji circulated in the alleys.

Another three years passed.

Some people also saw that there were people performing on the high platform of the Liren Pavilion, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful dance, as if heaven and earth had descended to earth.

This singer.

It's called Ah Li!

For the first time, she was already praised as the only singing and dancing girl who could compete with Yukihime.

Then, every new moon night, the singer Ah Li will perform on stage.

Hearing about the name of Ari, there was an endless stream of people from all over the country, and Yoshiwara also reached an unprecedented peak of prosperity.

With Ah Li's performance.

People gradually forgot about the geisha named Yukihime, because Ah Li's status in people's hearts has completely surpassed Yukihime.

After Ah Li became Yukihime, the next Oiran.

And on the night when Ah Li became an Oiran, people gave Ah Li a name that did not know fire. ”

When the fat cat said this, his eyes looked at Shiranui.

Apparently.

The fat cat has already recognized Shiranui's identity, and it is for this reason that the fat cat will tell this story.
