Jiang Linxian had already asked the maid in Qinglezhai about the route map to Yanyun Pavilion in Kyoto, so he would not get lost.
Qinglezhai was originally located in Kyoto, so there is a road to walk from it.
Jiang Linxian disguised himself as Zhu Yun, walked into the road, and was lost in the dense crowd of ghosts on the street.
To be honest, if he relied solely on disguise skills, Jiang Linxian would still be worried about being discovered by those powerful ghosts, but with the blessing of a persona, it would be different.
The persona can completely cover up his human aura, and those powerful ghosts will not notice him.
Jiang Linxian followed the ghost stream into the bustling street and immediately felt its prosperity.
At night in Kyoto, lights are everywhere, especially the busiest streets, where the bustling buildings on both sides are brightly lit.
There are rows of shops lined up along the street, and the ghost vendors are shouting at their throats. Whether it is exquisite and small ornaments, fragrant food, or the rouge and powder that female ghosts love, they can sell them all. Found in the bustling streets here, it adds a unique fireworks atmosphere to the already noisy streets.
Rows of red lanterns are hung outside rows of buildings, looking very festive, as if celebrating a new year.
Jiang Linxian walked around for most of the circle, which made him a little dazzled.
The night scene here, just like the posts he saw on the Community of a Shared Future for Mankind forum, is indeed very lively and lively.
Finally, he came to a stop in front of the gate of a five-story building called Yuanyang Tower.
He looked up.
This building is particularly bright and shining on the entire street.
There were also bursts of silk and bamboo wind instruments coming from inside, which was very moving and sweet.
Whether downstairs or upstairs, rows of female ghosts wearing thin clothes were waving silk handkerchiefs in their hands, waving coquettishly toward the outside, as if they were soliciting customers.
Jiang Linxian knew very well what this place was for.
After leaving here, Jiang Linxian looked for a route and came to Yanyun Pavilion on Treasure Hunt Street.
The reason why Treasure Street is called Treasure Street is because the shops here are places where illegal goods are sold.
Things here are generally difficult to buy outside, just like the black market.
It’s just that this treasure hunting street is more standardized.
Jiang Linxian came to the door of Yanyun Pavilion, glanced at the sign, and then walked in.
In addition to buying fireworks, Yanyun Pavilion can also buy incense candles for temples.
This shop is neither big nor small, and for the entire Treasure Hunt Street, it is quite satisfactory.
After Jiang Linxian walked in, he took a closer look inside, and then his eyes fell on the shopkeeper in front of the counter.
He walked forward quickly, ready to ask.
As a result, the shopkeeper looked up and saw Butler Zhuyun. He immediately put down what he was doing and put on a smile on his face: "It turns out that Butler Zhu from Qinglezhai came to visit. I was really rude for not being able to welcome him from a distance."
The shopkeeper walked down from the counter with a smile, raised his hands to Zhu Yun and said, "Butler Zhu, please come inside."
[Shopkeeper Zhang of Yanyun Pavilion: The owner of Yanyun Pavilion; this is a place where fireworks, incense and candles are sold. Housekeeper Zhuyun and Shopkeeper Zhang have been partners for many years. For this reason, Zhuyun has received a lot of benefits here. 】
Without saying a word, Jiang Linxian walked into the VIP room at the back under the leadership of the shopkeeper.
Not long after he sat down, a maid came up to him with tea.
Jiang Linxian took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you should know what I am here to do, right?"
"I know, of course I know." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The Bamboo Butler comes to me every year to buy fireworks. I know it very well."
"I have reserved this year's fireworks for you, and the price is still the same as in previous years."
"This way you don't have to make a checklist like in previous years."
"Huh?" Jiang Linxian originally thought of taking out the list and handing it to Butler Zhang to prepare, but he didn't expect that he would just go ahead and prepare it.
Ready.
This also saved Jiang Linxian's worries.
"Steward Zhang, you are interested." Jiang Linxian nodded and said.
"This is what I should do. Butler Bamboo is too polite."
"Butler Bamboo, please rest for a while and I'll take you to see it again." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
"No need, take me to see now." Jiang Linxian stood up and said without even drinking tea.
"Butler Bamboo is here in a hurry today." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
"There are many distinguished guests coming to the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time, more than in previous years, so there are more things to prepare than in previous years. I don't dare to waste even half a minute." Jiang Linxian said calmly.
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and took Jiang Linxian to the warehouse.
"Butler Bamboo, these are the goods you want." Shopkeeper Zhang said calmly: "Do you think you need me to deliver them to Qinglezhai for you?"
"I'll send a few humans over tomorrow to get it."
"Human?" Shopkeeper Zhang frowned slightly, seeming to hesitate.
"This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, there happened to be a lot of humans working in our Qingle Zhai." Jiang Linxian said calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you should know the reason, right?"
"I know, of course I know." Shopkeeper Zhang is naturally aware of the random appearance of humans to participate in missions. Their Yanyun Pavilion also became a dungeon area not long ago, and a group of humans came here.
This strange phenomenon of humans participating in specific activities has been going on for more than a year, and the reason is unknown.
It always feels like they are invaders from a chaotic world, but you dare not kill them directly.
However, he was quite malicious towards human beings at first, but as he met more people, his maliciousness became smaller. 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, "I'll ask the humans to come and pick them up tomorrow, and they will pay then."
"Butler Zhuyun does things quickly, I can rest assured." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
The two came to the counter. Shopkeeper Zhang took out the listed receipts and handed them to Zhu Yun. He said meaningfully: "The price is still the same as before. Please keep these two receipts."
Jiang Linxian glanced at the two receipts.
One of them was a real receipt, which recorded the real price of the fireworks, which was a full four hundred thousand.
The other receipt needs to be handed over to the steward of Qinglezhai. The amount on it is 500,000, and the difference is 100,000.
And these 100,000 yuan ended up going into Zhuyun's pocket.
Jiang Linxian put the receipt away understandingly and couldn't help but boast: "I feel relieved that Shopkeeper Zhang is doing the work."
"We are all old friends, as we should." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.
Jiang Linxian walked out of Yanyun Pavilion with a smile and hurried towards Qinglezhai.
Zhuyun buys fireworks from here every year and earns 100,000 Chaos Coins every year. In the past few years, she has a lot of oil and water, and this is just the oil and water for fireworks. Like other things that need to be purchased for the Hundred Flowers Feast, the oil and water should also be Very full.
Then she would earn a lot of money by hosting a Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Do you think you value the Hundred Flowers Banquet so much?
While thinking, he left Treasure Hunting Street and came to the most prosperous area of Kyoto again.
From Qinglezhai to Xunbao Street, this road is the only way.
It was almost late at night, and this bustling street was still bustling with activity.
When Jiang Linxian passed Yuanyang Tower, he looked up and walked in.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a female ghost with a rouged face coming towards me.
"Mr.....Girl...this is a romantic place. Why are you here?"
"Cooperation." Jiang Linxian said calmly.
"Cooperate...cooperate?" The girl who greeted Jiang Linxian was confused. She couldn't understand that a Fengyue Building as big as Yuanyang Building was a famous place in the entire Kyoto.
Fang, this girl’s family, why are you here cooperating?
Doesn't she want to be an oiran?
"Is your madam here? Let me talk to her." Jiang Linxian said calmly. Jiang Linxian, who was wearing a personality mask, had the same temperament as Zhu Yun. That condescending aura immediately made the female ghost go to find the madam.
After a while, an adult ghost holding a cattail leaf fan and wearing heavy makeup came swaying over.
After she came closer, she looked up and down Jiang Linxian's figure, clicked her tongue twice, nodded and said, "Girl, you look pretty good, how can we cooperate with you?"
Some of these female ghosts in Yuanyang House were sold here; some had no choice but to devote themselves to this place due to the pressure of life, and some were deceived.
There are always various ways.
But this was the first time the Madam heard someone come to discuss cooperation.
Even if it's cooperation, to put it bluntly, you still have to go out and attract customers.
This is true even for the oiran of Yuanyang House.
After all, after entering this Yuanyang House, you can't help yourself, and it's not a place where these girls think they are noble.
As long as the customer's price is right, they can play as many or as many games as they want.
"You may have misunderstood." Jiang Linxian took out the Qinglezhai brand and waved it in front of the madam, and said, "You should recognize this, right?"
"Qing Le Zhai?" The old bustard's originally playful and carefree expression instantly became serious and tense.
"Are you from Qinglezhai?"
Qing Le Zhai is quite famous in Kyoto. After all, Mrs. Qing Lian's stunning appearance is "famous".
There is a huge gap between their kind of power and the ordinary ghosts in Yuanyang Tower.
No matter how famous Yuanyang Tower is, it is worthless in front of the powerful.
"Exactly." Jiang Linxian said coldly: "I am the housekeeper of Qingle Zhai, Zhu Yun."
"Ouch~~, it turns out to be the Bamboo Butler." The old bustard slapped his face and blamed him, "It's all my fault that I'm blind and can't recognize your honor."
"I'm really short-sighted~" The old bustard blamed himself a few times, and quickly moved out of the way: "Butler Bamboo, please quickly invite me to sit inside."
"Let's go to the private room to talk. It's quiet there." The madam led the way and asked the girls around to prepare tea and snacks.
After arriving in the box, the madam personally served tea and poured water with a smile on her face: "Butler Zhu, why are you here at Yuanyang House?"
"Cooperation." Jiang Linxian said.
The madam's beautiful eyes were shining as she handed the tea to Jiang Linxian and said with a smile: "Butler Zhu, please don't show off. How can we cooperate?"
"Are there many girls here who are good at singing and dancing?"
"There are a lot of them." The madam smiled and said, "Why do you ask?"
"It's like this. In a few days, our Qinglezhai will hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet, and we need girls who can sing and dance to perform."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
"It is our Yuanyang House's honor to be the icing on the cake for Qing Le Zhai's Hundred Flowers Banquet. How can we ask for money from the Bamboo Butler?" the madam said with a smile.
"Okay, since you said so, I'm relieved."
"I will send three humans over tomorrow to discuss with you." Jiang Linxian said calmly.
When the madam heard about humans, she was surprised again: "Humans?"
"Yes, our Qinglezhai currently does not have enough people, so we can only use humans to handle the work. You can just use our Qinglezhai's logo as your identity."
"No one dares to fake this."
The madam nodded repeatedly and smiled brightly: "It all depends on Butler Bamboo's arrangements."
After Jiang Linxian finished talking about the matter, he stood up to say goodbye. The madam sent him outside with a smile on his face.
After Zhuyun disappeared, the smile on her face still did not stop.
It is their honor to be associated with a noble like Qing Le Zhai.
Although there are many rich and powerful young men who come here on weekdays to look for women, but it is just a transaction, a flesh and blood business.
This time, the Zhuyun housekeeper from Qinglezhai came to talk about cooperation, but the nature was different.
If it is done well, next time a certain prince or minister needs to hold a banquet, their Yuanyang Tower will also catch their attention.
The old bustard thought about things and walked back to Yuanyang Tower.
After Jiang Linxian and Yuanyanglou came out, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already getting late, so he quickened his pace and soon arrived at Qinglezhai.
After taking off his disguise and personality, he turned over and went inside. He followed the path back to his residence. Jiang Linxian took a bath and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, he came to Mrs. Qinglian's residence and waited at the door for her to wake up.
Just like yesterday, he helped Mrs. Qinglian change her clothes, wash and comb her hair, then put on the golden glazed hairpin and pearl earrings, and accompanied Mrs. Qinglian to have breakfast.
Jiang Linxian was already very familiar with this set of procedures.
"What's going on with the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" After having breakfast, Mrs. Qinglian asked Jiang Linxian about the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
"Back to Madam, I have understood it clearly." Jiang Linxian replied: "Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner."
Mrs. Qinglian nodded and said, "This is best, do it well."
"It's done, I won't treat you badly."
Jiang Linxian quickly replied: "It is my honor to be able to work for Madam, and it is also what I should do."
