Chapter 332: Mandarin Duck Tower
On the route map to Kyoto's Yanyun Pavilion, Jiang Linxian had already asked the maid of Qingle Zhai, so he would not lose his way.
Seirakusai was originally located in Kyoto, so there is a big road to walk from inside.
Jiang Linxian disguised himself as a bamboo rhyme, walked into the main road, and drowned in the dense ghosts on the street.
To be honest, if he relied on the camouflage skill alone, Jiang Linxian was still quite worried about being discovered by those powerful ghosts, but with the blessing of the personality mask, it was different.
The Personality Mask was able to completely conceal his human aura, and the powerful ghosts would not notice him.
Jiang Linxian followed the ghost flow into the bustling street, and immediately felt its prosperity.
Kyoto is lit up at night, especially in the liveliest streets, with its bustling buildings lit up on both sides.
Rows of shops are lined up on the side of the street, and those ghost vendors are shouting one by one, whether it is delicate and small knick-knacks, or fragrant food, or the rouge and incense powder that women love ghosts, they can all be found in the bustling streets here, adding a unique fireworks atmosphere to the already noisy streets.
Rows of red lanterns hang outside the rows of buildings, looking very festive, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Jiang Linxian walked around for most of the time, and he was a little dazzled.
The night scene here, as he saw the posts on the Forum of the Community of Shared Future for Mankind, is indeed very bustling and lively.
Finally, he came to a stop in front of the gate of a five-story building called Mandarin Duck Tower.
I looked up.
The building is exceptionally bright and shining throughout the street.
There are also bursts of bamboo wind music instruments inside, which is very moving and pleasant.
Whether downstairs or upstairs, rows of female ghosts in thin clothes waved silk handkerchiefs in their hands, beckoning to the outside, as if to attract guests.
What is going on here, Jiang Linxian knows very well in his heart.
Leaving here, Jiang Linxian looked for a route and came to the Yanyun Pavilion on Treasure Hunt Street.
The reason why Treasure Hunt Street is called Treasure Hunt Street is because the shops here are all places that sell black goods.
Things here are generally hard to buy outside, just like the black market.
It's just that this treasure hunt street is more standardized.
Jiang Linxian came to the door of Yanyun Pavilion and glanced at the signboard before walking in.
In addition to purchasing fireworks, Yanyun Pavilion can also buy incense candles for the temple.
This shop is neither big nor small, and it is decent for the entire treasure hunting street.
After Jiang Linxian walked in, he took a closer look inside before his gaze fell on the shopkeeper in front of the counter.
He stepped forward quickly, ready to ask aloud.
As a result, as soon as the shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was the bamboo Yun housekeeper, he immediately put down the things in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be the bamboo housekeeper from Qingle Zhai who came to visit, and I couldn't welcome it from afar, which is really rude."
The shopkeeper walked down from the counter with a smile, greeted Zhu Yun and said, "Bamboo housekeeper, please inside."
[Yanyun Pavilion shopkeeper: the owner of Yanyun Pavilion; This is a place to sell fireworks, incense and candles, and the butler of Zhuyun and the shopkeeper Zhang have been partners for many years, for which Zhuyun has received a lot of benefits here. 】
Jiang Linxian didn't say a word, and under the leadership of the shopkeeper, he walked into the VIP room at the back.
Soon after he sat down, a maid came up with tea.
Jiang Linxian took a sip of tea, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, you should know what I'm here for, right?"
"Yes, of course I do." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Every year the bamboo butler comes to me to buy fireworks, I know very well."
"I've already reserved this year's fireworks for you, and the price is still the same as in previous years."
"That way, you don't have to go through the checklists one by one, as you did in previous years."
"Huh?" Jiang Linxian originally wanted to take out the list and hand it to Steward Zhang to prepare, but he didn't expect him to approve it directly
Ready.
This also saved Jiang Linxian from the worries in his heart.
"Steward Zhang, you have a heart." Jiang Linxian nodded and said.
"It's all what I should do, Butler Bamboo is polite."
"Butler Bamboo, you rest for a while, and I'll take you to see it again." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
"No, take me to see it now." Jiang Linxian didn't even drink tea, got up and said.
"Butler Bamboo is in a hurry today." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
"There are a lot of distinguished guests at this Hundred Flowers Banquet, more than in previous years, so there are more things to prepare than in previous years, and I dare not delay half a minute." Jiang Linxian opened his mouth.
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and took Jiang Linxian to the warehouse.
"Butler Bamboo, these are the goods you want." Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Do you think you need me to send you to Qingle Zhai?"
"I'll send a few humans to fetch it tomorrow."
"Humans?" Shopkeeper Zhang frowned slightly, as if hesitating.
"At this year's Hundred Flowers Feast, there are a lot of human beings doing things in our Qingle Zhai." Jiang Linxian said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, you should know what the reason is, right?"
"I know, of course I do." Shopkeeper Zhang naturally knew that humans randomly appeared to participate in the mission, and their Yanyun Pavilion had also become a dungeon area not long ago, and a group of humans had come here.
This strange phenomenon of humans participating in certain activities has been going on for more than a year, and I don't know what the reason is.
It always feels like they are invaders in the chaotic world, but you don't dare to kill them directly.
However, he was quite malicious towards human beings at first, but the more he encountered, the less malicious he became, and he even felt that having such free labor could reduce a lot of costs, which was very cost-effective.
"I've seen the goods." Jiang Linxian looked around, nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will call the humans to come and get it, and they will pay when the time comes."
"Bamboo Yun housekeeper is refreshing, I don't worry." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
The two came to the counter, and the shopkeeper Zhang took out the listed receipts, handed them to Zhu Yun, and said meaningfully: "The price is still the same as before, you can collect these two receipts."
Jiang Linxian glanced at the two receipts.
One of them was a real receipt, which recorded the true price of the fireworks, which was 400,000.
The other receipt needs to be handed over to the steward of Qingle Zhai, and the amount on it is 500,000, and the difference is 100,000.
And these 100,000 yuan finally went into Zhuyun's pocket.
Jiang Linxian comprehended the receipt, and couldn't help boasting: "I am also very relieved that the shopkeeper is doing things."
"We're old friends, we should." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
Jiang Linxian walked out of the Yanyun Pavilion with a smile and hurried towards Qingle Zhai.
Zhu Yun buys fireworks from here every year, and there are 100,000 chaos coins in her account every year, in the past few years, her oil and water are not much, and this is only the oil and water of fireworks, like other things that need to be purchased for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the oil and water should be very sufficient.
So to hold a hundred flowers banquet, she has a lot of income.
Do you attach so much importance to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?
Thinking about it, he left the treasure hunt street and came to the most prosperous area of Kyoto again.
From Qingle Zhai to Treasure Hunt Street, this road is the way to go.
It's almost late at night, and this bustling street is still buzzing and lively.
When Jiang Linxian passed by the Mandarin Duck Tower, he glanced up and walked in.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a female ghost creature with rouge on her face greeted her.
"Gong...... Girl...... We are a place of wind and moon, what are you here for?"
"Cooperation." Jiang Linxian opened his mouth.
"Hop...... Cooperation?" The girl who greeted Jiang Linxian was confused, she couldn't understand that such a big Fengyue Building as Mandarin Duck Tower was a famous place in the whole of Kyoto
Fang, this girl's family, what are you here to cooperate?
Could it be that she wanted to be an Oiran?
"Are you bustards here? I'll talk to her." Jiang Linxian said that Jiang Linxian, who was wearing a personality mask, had the same temperament as bamboo rhyme, and that condescending aura immediately asked this female ghost to find the old bustard.
After a while, a ghost creature with a puff fan and heavy makeup swayed over.
After she approached, she looked Jiang Linxian's posture up and down, sighed twice, nodded and said, "Girl, your posture is not bad, how do you want to cooperate?"
Some of these female ghosts in the Mandarin Duck Building were sold here; Some are desperate and forced by life to commit to this, and some are deceived into coming.
There are always different ways to do it.
But it was the first time that the bustard had heard that someone had taken the initiative to talk about cooperation.
Even if it's cooperation, to put it bluntly, you still have to come out to attract guests.
Even if it is the Oiran of the Mandarin Duck Tower, this is true.
After all, after entering this Mandarin Duck Tower, they can't help themselves, and it's not a place for these girls to think of themselves as high.
As long as the price is in place, the guest wants a few and wants to play, it is okay.
"You may be mistaken." Jiang Linxian took out the sign of Qingle Zhai and shook it in front of the bustard, and said, "You should know this, right?"
"Qing Le Zhai?" The bustard's originally playful and casual expression instantly became solemn and nervous.
"Are you from Qingle Zhai?"
Seirakusai is still famous in Kyoto, after all, Mrs. Seiren's stunning appearance is "famous".
Their kind of power, compared with these ordinary ghosts in the Mandarin Duck Tower, the difference is too great.
No matter how famous Mandarin Duck Tower is, it is worthless in front of the powerful.
"Exactly." Jiang Linxian said indifferently: "I am the housekeeper of Qingle Zhai, Zhuyun."
"Ouch~~, it turned out to be a bamboo housekeeper." The bustard patted his face and blamed him, "It's all because I'm blind and can't recognize your honor."
"It's really me who has no eyes~" The old bustard blamed himself a few words in a row, and hurriedly got out of the way: "Bamboo housekeeper, please hurry up, sit inside."
"Let's go to the box and talk, it's clean." While leading the way, the old bustard instructed the girls around him to prepare tea and snacks.
After coming to the box, the bustard personally served tea and poured water, with a smile on his face: "Bamboo housekeeper, what is the important thing for you to come to our Mandarin Duck Tower?"
"Cooperation." Jiang Linxian said.
The old bustard's beautiful eyes flowed, and he handed the tea to Jiang Linxian, and said with a smile: "Bamboo housekeeper, don't sell Guanzi, what kind of cooperation method."
"Are there many girls here who can sing and dance?"
"That's a lot." The bustard smiled and said, "Why are you asking this?"
"That's right, in a few days, we will hold a hundred flowers banquet in Qingle Zhai, and we need girls who can sing and dance to perform."

"It is the honor of our Mandarin Duck Building to be able to add to the flower banquet of Qingle Zhai, how can we ask for the money of the bamboo housekeeper?" The old bustard said with a smile.
"Okay, since you've said so, then I'll rest assured."
"Tomorrow I will send three humans over to talk to you." Jiang Linxian said.
When the bustard heard about humans, he was shocked again: "Humans?"
"Yes, we Qingle Zhai currently don't have enough people, we can only use humans to do things, you just need to use our Qingle Zhai logo as your identity."
"No one dares to fake this."
The old bustard nodded again and again, smiling very brightly: "It's all up to the bamboo housekeeper's arrangement."
After Jiang Linxian finished talking about things, he got up to say goodbye, and the old bustard sent him outside with a smile on his face.
After the bamboo rhyme disappeared, the smile on her face still did not stop.
To be able to have a relationship with a nobleman like Qingle Zhai is an honor for them in Mandarin Duck Tower.
Although there are many powerful sons who come here on weekdays to look for flowers and willows, it is just a transaction, and it is a skin and meat business.
This time, the bamboo rhyme housekeeper of Qingle Zhai said that when he talked about cooperation, the nature was different.
If the operation is done well, the next time a certain prince or minister needs to hold a banquet, their Mandarin Duck Tower will also be in their eyes.
The old bustard thought about things and walked back to the Mandarin Duck Building.
After Jiang Linxian and the Mandarin Duck Tower came out, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not early, he quickened his strong pace, and soon came to Qingle Zhai.
Removing the disguise and personality bones, turning over and entering the inside, and returning to the residence along the path, Jiang Linxian took a bath and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, he went to Lady Qinglian's house and waited at the door for her to wake up.
Like yesterday, he helped Mrs. Qinglian change her clothes, wash and comb her hair, and then put on a golden glass hairpin and pearl earrings, and accompanied Mrs. Qinglian to breakfast.
Jiang Linxian is already very familiar with this set of processes.
"How's the matter of the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" After Mrs. Qinglian had breakfast, she asked about the Jiang Linxian Hundred Flowers Banquet around her.
"Madame Hui, I already understand clearly." Jiang Linxian replied, "Everything is in orderly preparation."
Lady Qinglian nodded and said, "That's the best, do it well."
"It's done, I won't treat you badly."
Jiang Linxian hurriedly replied, "It is my honor to be able to do things for my wife, and it is also what I should do."
