Chapter 494: Fishing in the Flower House
The coachman took the wooden tray, walked to the carriage and handed it back to Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili took the tray curiously, opened it and saw an exquisite and unique hairpin mask.
The driver explained, "Princess, the unwritten rule of Feiyue Tower is that customers entering the building need to wear masks to hide their identities."
After Jiang Lili heard this rule, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This rule didn't sound very serious.
However, in the group chat, Guan Yue was already urging me.
Jiang Lili put on the mask and entered Feiyue Tower.
After entering the gate of Feiyue Tower, the surroundings immediately became bright. Jiang Lili, who had never been to such a place before, was like a villager entering the city, and her eyes were suddenly opened.
The middle of the attic of Feiyue Tower is empty. Looking up, you can directly see the top of the seventh floor. The top is painted with murals of various flowers with golden glitter paint. When illuminated by the bright lights in the building, the layer of gold powder looks like the gold plated on the flowers by the sun, which is very beautiful.
On the railings of each attic, there are gauze curtains of different colors and textures hanging, which look very beautiful when illuminated by the light.
Lanterns of various shapes are dotted between each layer, shining brightly and dazzlingly, giving a real feeling of wealth and dazzling beauty.
Everyone in the brothel was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked elegant and dignified. They wore all kinds of masks on their faces. Jiang Lili felt like she was in another world.
The sounds of the guzheng and pipa linger in the ears, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Jiang Lili attracted a lot of attention as soon as she came in. Immediately, a handsome man in Feiyue Tower's uniform, who was also wearing a fox mask like the receptionist at Feiyue Tower, came towards her with a glass of wine on a tray. "Is this your first time visiting Feiyue Tower?"
The other person's voice was clear and pleasant, and it felt refreshing.
"I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."
"The people you see wearing fox masks are the junior officials and maids of our Feiyue Tower."
The servant led her around the stage in the lobby on the first floor, explaining as they walked: "The first, second and third floors are private rooms, where you can watch the various performances of our Feiyue Building. From the fourth floor upwards, there are the chess and card room, the tea room, the worry-solving room... The seventh floor is the area where the shopkeeper is located."
Jiang Lili was a little skeptical at first, but felt a little relieved after hearing the servant's explanation.
It is indeed a serious place that is elegant and green and healthy.
Jiang Lili politely refused the wine glass handed to him by the waiter, stuffed a silver ingot into his hand, and said bluntly: "I want to go to the seventh floor to find your acting storekeeper. Can you lead the way for me?"
The servant accepted the silver, and beneath the mask, his red lips curved up, revealing a refreshing and non-offensive smile: "So it's an acquaintance of yours, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person."
The servant made an inviting gesture: "Please follow me."
Jiang Lili followed the servant through the crowd of people in gorgeous clothes. She thought she was going up the stairs, but unexpectedly the servant brought her to a cabin with the same structure as an elevator, except that the main material of this cabin was wood, which had a more ancient atmosphere.
Seeing Jiang Lili curiously looking at the sedan, the servant introduced: "This is called the Cloud Ladder. It was designed by a master of mechanical devices. It can carry distinguished guests to and from the floors."
His voice sounds like a spring breeze, and it has the naturalness of a chat between friends, without the feeling of stereotyped jokes.
Jiang Lili felt that if she was not a relative or friend who knew the owner of Feiyue Tower inside and out, but a first-time customer, she would definitely be fascinated by this place at once.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Hou Xiaoxiao's ability to recruit people was simply at the ceiling level, worthy of being a human resources major.
Riding the ladder all the way to the seventh floor, Jiang Lili soon saw Guan Yue, who was also wearing a mask. Jiang Lili was very familiar with the whip on Guan Yue's waist and recognized it at a glance.
Guan Yue wore a golden fox mask and the red robe of Feiyue Tower.
The only difference is that the belt and collar of her clothes are golden, which is unique and obviously a symbol of her status.
Guan Yue saw Jiang Lili spread her hands and said, "How is it?"
"You must be bored staying in Prince Zhao's mansion these days, right?"
"Would you like me to take you on a shopping spree? I, Guan the shopkeeper, will pay for all your spending tonight."
Jiang Lili shook her head. She didn't feel bored in Prince Zhao's Mansion. After all, this was a real royal garden. It was impossible to visit it all in a day. Sometimes she was afraid of getting lost. "I just came here to chat with you. What else can I spend here? I'm not interested in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting."
"If you say you want to take me fishing, I'd be quite interested."
Jiang Lili misses the time of fishing on the sea.
"You really underestimate Feiyue Tower. Of course there is a fishing project!"
Guan Yue waved her hand cheerfully: "Come on, I'll take you to the fish pond now!"
Jiang Lili's eyes lit up immediately. He really can fish!
She was already looking forward to it.
Could it be that Feiyue Tower has an outdoor artificial lake on Zhuque Street, where there are carved beams and painted buildings and every inch of land is valuable?
Jiang Lili was led by Guan Yue to take the ladder back to the first floor and walked towards the southeast area of the first floor.
Passing through numerous corridors, Guan Yue brought her to the fish pond.
Jiang Lili was dumbfounded when she saw the so-called fish pond.
She still remembers seeing an inflatable pool for children to fish when she was working part-time in a shopping mall.
There are various small fish toys and ocean balls in the pool.
The children held mini toy fishing rods while the parents sat on benches and waited.
The fish pond in front of you is a luxurious upgraded version of the ancient style.
In the marble pool, which is as big as two classrooms, various kinds of ornamental fish are swimming.
There are several stone bridges across the pool, creating a pleasing landscape.
Guests who come to fish can choose to fish by the pond or on the stone bridge.
Fishing on the stone bridge is a VIP seat and requires extra payment.
Jiang Lili saw with her own eyes a pair of gorgeously dressed men and women stuff a tael of silver into a servant wearing a fox mask by the bridge before they went up the bridge.
This is too dark!
Jiang Lili faced the distinguished guests who came to fish, each of whom was holding a mini toy fishing rod for children, and forced a smile on her face.
It was so easy to make money in ancient times!
These ornamental fish are only a few dollars each in modern times, and they will die after being raised for a month or two at most. The fishing fee is ten taels of silver per quarter of an hour.
These small colorful fish were rare in the eyes of ancient people.
Jiang Lili spread her hands: "That's it? I thought it was something else! I usually go fishing at sea."
Guan Yue stretched out her finger and poked Jiang Lili's forehead: "You don't understand, this is what makes it fun!"
"Now that you're here, why don't you try fishing for a while?"
Jiang Lili looked at the fact that many people only had a few small fish in their buckets, snorted, and rolled up her sleeves: "Just wait, or I'll catch all the fish in your pond!"
She is the woman who conquered the ocean with a fishing rod!
