Chapter 15 Arriving at Qianjin Pavilion

Xiao Zhaodi naturally wanted it. She held the map in her hand and looked at it carefully. She remembered some roads and there was no problem with the markings on the map.

"Cuckoo." Xiao Zhaodi covered her stomach. She had been walking all night and was really hungry.

Seeing this, Lan Shi found the soil cake from the package and handed it to Xiao Zhaodi.

Xiao Zhaodi took the soil cake and started eating it with big mouthfuls. Although the people who went to Qianjin Pavilion were not good people, she felt that the people in Lanshi were quite nice.

Xiao Zhaodi relied on her own impressions and pointed out the direction to Lan Shi on the map.

"There are all outsiders there, and they all have something to ask for. What do you want to ask for?" Xiao Zhaodi asked in a low voice.

Lan Shi was a little confused. According to her understanding of the teacher's wife, the teacher's wife was a person who didn't like to be busy and few people could find her. But from Xiao Zhaodi's words, it seemed that many people were looking for the teacher's wife.

"Ask for medicine." Lan Shi didn't hide it.

Xiao Zhaodi glanced at Jiang Sushang, who was being carefully protected by Beilu, and thought that Jiang Sushang must be seriously ill, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go.

Lan Shi followed Xiao Zhaodi's eyes and looked over, knowing that Xiao Zhaodi had misunderstood, but she did not explain.

At dawn, Xiao Zhaodi said goodbye to Jiang Suchang and the others, took the dry food Lan Shi gave her, and walked towards Guazhou County with the map.

Beilu helped Jiang Sushang get on the camel, followed closely by Lan Shi.

In just half a day, the three of them arrived at Crescent Moon Spring Qianjin Pavilion.

Lan Shi looked at the tall buildings next to the Crescent Moon Spring with doubts in her eyes. When did the mistress actually build a tall building?
The reason why Lan Shi wanted to find Crescent Moon Spring was because his wife’s residence was in the underground tomb of Crescent Moon Spring. His wife was a famous Poison Fairy Lady in the world. She offended many people when she was young, so she lived underground next to Crescent Moon Spring. In the tomb, it was also to avoid revenge from former enemies.

Building a tall building so blatantly doesn't really look like my wife's style.

Could it be...

"Ouch! The noble man is here!" A plump middle-aged woman twisted her round figure and walked straight towards Jiang Sushang and others from the bridge corridor over the Crescent Moon Spring.

"What do you want, noble man, for coming here?" The woman's eyes fell on the tall Hokuriku. Seeing the undulating and strong muscles under the brocade, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She saw Hokuriku's excellent appearance and tone. I couldn't help but be more flattering: "Whatever you want, I will be satisfied, as long as you have enough money."

Lan Shi slightly exposed the money in the package, and the woman was very excited: "Oh, you three, please come in quickly."

Beilu hugged the very weak Jiang Sushang and headed towards Qianjin Pavilion. Lan Shi looked around. I don't know when lotus plants were planted in the Crescent Moon Spring. It was obviously still spring at this time, and it was not yet summer, but in the Crescent Moon Spring, The lotus was already in full bloom, and the hot wind in the Gobi Desert blew over the water, carrying a touch of lotus fragrance. The wind picked up the mustache on Jiang Sushang's mouth, rolled it up, and fell into the water.

Look at the Qianjin Pavilion opposite the bridge corridor. It has four floors, each floor is one foot high. It is made of mahogany and covered with white tiles and glazed glass. The brackets and beams are all painted with colorful paintings. The design of this house is unique and exquisite. The city is as prosperous as Chang'an. Except for the Imperial Palace, there are no such luxurious high-rise buildings anywhere else.

Moreover, it is even more difficult to build this high-rise building deep in the desert, which consumes a huge amount of financial and human resources.

A master’s wife is not enough to establish one.Lan Shi thought.

"Another distinguished guest is here." The fat madam said loudly.

The woman on the stage stopped, and so did the guests on the left and right sides.There are long water-red strips of cloth everywhere, shadowy and unreal. The guests at the banquet are all men. Each person's face is covered with half of a ghost mask to cover the skin above the mouth. The ghost mask is well-made, light to the touch, and has oil paint on it. It is made of mineral colored ink, and the ghosts painted are lifelike.

A girl in pink light clothes flew up from the high platform. She was holding a long water-red silk in one hand and a painted ghost face in the other.

She held it in both hands and was about to put it on Jiang Sushang. Beilu turned sideways and looked at the girl warily.

The fat madam smiled and explained: "Everyone who comes here is not a high-ranking official. Everyone comes here to ask for something. I am afraid that if they meet someone they know, it will be too embarrassing. Therefore, wearing a ghost face, after leaving Qianjin Pavilion , don’t interact with each other.”

"Yes." Jiang Sushang, who was in Beilu's arms, responded with a hoarse voice.

The girl immediately stepped forward and put on the mask for Jiang Sushang.

"Hey, Brother Painted Skin Ghost, what are you here to ask for?" Someone at the dinner table carried a white porcelain wine bottle and left the seat, heading in the direction of Jiang Sushang.

Jiang Sushang felt her face itching after putting on the mask, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. As for the person who asked the question, she felt familiar for a moment.

She has always had a photographic memory, and she can recall whatever she sees and hears once she experiences it.It's just that her mind is so dizzy now that it's really hard to think.

"My young master is ill, so it's not convenient for you all to drink." Lan Shi said to the madam, "Madam, where should we stay?"

"Just call me Fatty, and come with me first!" Fatty said to the man covered in a water ghost mask who was carrying the wine: "Master Water Ghost, you have a good meal and drink. The girls will have wine later."

The fat lady led the way, and soon they arrived at the room on the third floor.

The water ghost man was bored, so he folded his seat, started singing, and the veiled woman on the stage danced along with him.

During the banquet, people drank and drank, and men's laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo intermingled.

"The Painted Skin Ghost actually brings a maid here when he comes to a place like this?" The Water Ghost said with a smile, "The girl in Qianjin Pavilion has a good figure and appearance. He! I'm afraid it's his first time here, so he really doesn't know how to enjoy it."

The thin man wearing a mountain ghost mask at the opposite table joked to the obese water ghost: "It's my first time here, mountain ghost. I'm here specifically for women. I know what's appropriate and understand the rules."

The skinny mountain ghost laughed and let out a high-pitched laugh.

As soon as the dance was over, it was the turn of the main event. Qianjin Pavilion was worried that the guests would be lonely while sleeping at night, so they specially prepared twelve girls for them to choose from.In the past, there were too many visitors, and twelve girls were not enough to serve them. The scene of snatching beauties was almost bloody. With the mask in the regulations, the number of people leaving Qianjin Pavilion and taking revenge afterward was reduced.

Young girls wearing various colorful skirts were dancing on the long silk like gods. The guests forgot to drink and laugh, and looked up at the girls one after another.

Each girl has a handkerchief around her waist, with seasonal December flowers on it. Whichever handkerchief the guests grab will be served by that woman.

The girl took off the handkerchief from her waist and threw it away, and the people below started to grab the handkerchief.

"Everyone, no one wants to snatch Plum Blossom Girl's handkerchief from me." The water ghost shouted loudly.

"Here, here." The mountain ghost raised the plum blossom handkerchief in his hand.
