"And your daughter is still young, so it is impossible for your daughter to send it."

"So let's deliver it for you. We're pretty free right now anyway."

After hearing what Ogata said, Ajiu's father was obviously moved.

But the hesitation on his face didn't completely dissipate.

"That... we don't seem to know each other, right? Why do you want to help us like this?"

"If you insist on the reason..." Ogata shrugged, "You can treat the two of us as warm-hearted and good people."

Ajiu's father fell silent, and looked at the clothes of the two of Ogata with serious eyes.

Although Ogata and A-Machi didn't wear any top-notch clothes, they were still neatly dressed. Because they had always had enough food and clothing, their faces were healthy, and they were basically dirty, sallow and emaciated ronin There is a world of difference.

After a long silence, Ajiu's father finally nodded.

"Then... I will trouble you."

……

……

30 steamed buns are enough to fill a big box.

Aku's father wrapped the big box neatly with dark green furoshiki, and handed it to Ogata after it was tied into a big knot that could be grasped.

"The store that ordered this batch of steamed buns is 'Sakuramonya' in Yoshihara."

"'Sakuramonya' is one of Yoshiwara's great insights. So after you enter Yoshiwara, you can find out the location of 'Sakuramonya' by asking anyone."

"When you arrive at the 'Sakuramonya', just tell the people in the 'Sakuramonya' that you are the ones entrusted by 'Shiya' Tojiro to help deliver the steamed buns."

Shiwu - the name of Ajiu's tea house.

Teng Erlang - the name of Ajiu's father.

"Understood." Ogata nodded, and then put away the big package.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Samurai-sama." Although his back hurt badly, Aku's father—that is, Tojiro, still forced himself to bow to Ogata.

"I'll go back as soon as I go." After leaving these words coolly, Ogata walked out of the shop carrying the big box of steamed buns.

After leaving the tea house, Ah-machi said to Ogata with a look of eagerness:

"I didn't expect you, Ayi, to be such a warm-hearted person."

"Is it the first day you know me..." Ogata couldn't help but said in a helpless tone, "Although I don't think I'm such a decent person, this kind of thing is just a little effort for me, but I’m still happy to do things that are of great benefit to others.”

"Besides—the reason why I chose to deliver steamed buns to the people in the tea house is not all because of my kindness."

"What Tojiro said just now woke me up."

"Yoshiwara is a place where fish and dragons mix together."

"So let's go to Yoshihara, maybe we can collect some interesting information."

"Especially—maybe we can collect information related to Shiranui."

"So I plan to help deliver the steamed buns, and at the same time see if I can gather any interesting information."

"Collecting information related to Shiranui...the chances are slim." A-cho said helplessly.

"That's right." After a pause, Atachi Asaogata asked, "I just heard that Toujiro said that the 'Sakuramon House' is what Daimise, what is Daimise? "

"I don't know much..." Ogata scratched his hair, "I only heard about what Dajianshi was from Genichi and the others when I chatted with Genichi and the others before."

"Daimise is the grade name of Yoshihara Yugyoya."

"The girls' houses in Yoshihara are divided into 3 levels. The levels from high to low are Daimise, Nakamise, and Komise."

"I heard that Daimise is the highest level of girls' houses, and there are only 7 or 8 in Yoshihara."

"Hey~~ so..."

……

……

Yoshiwara is one of the most famous areas in Edo.

He could tell Ogata and Atachi Yoshihara exactly how to go if he brought anyone along.

It is now October, and the sun goes down much earlier than in summer.

When Ogata and Amachi arrived at the gate of Yoshiwara, it was already evening.

It happened to be when the flow of people in Yoshiwara started to increase.

Looking at the door in front of him, Ogata murmured:

"Is this the gate of Yoshihara..."

Although I don't know much about Yoshihara, Ogata still knows some basic knowledge about Yoshihara, such as Yoshihara is surrounded by tall wooden walls, and there is only one entrance and exit.

In front of Ogata and Atachi was a tall wooden gate that was wide open.

On both sides of the gate, there is a lantern for lighting. The lanterns are painted with a big Chinese character: gate.

Countless people came in and out of this gate. There were men and women who entered and exited this gate, but most of them were men.

There are many young people holding wooden sticks on both sides of the door. These young people must be the guards in charge of the gate.

They are all wearing the same style of dark blue haori. The haori has many decorative patterns, and there are two Chinese characters printed on both sides of the skirt: club.

On the back of Haori is printed a large Chinese character: door.

Looking at the haori worn by these people, A-machi asked Ogata in a low voice:

"Should these people be the officials who are in charge of the Shirobei clubhouse in Yoshihara?"

Ogata nodded: "It should be. Let's go in."

Before stepping through the gate, Ogata noticed that the official of the Shirobei Club, who was also wearing this special dark blue haori, kept shouting "female cut hand" and "female cut hand".

When he led A-cho through the gate and into Yoshiwara, and passed by the official errand who kept shouting "female cut hand", Ogata couldn't help but look at the official errand, and at the same time thought to himself:

——Female cut hand... what is that thing...

Just as Ogata muttered in his heart, he suddenly heard a loud shout from his side:

"Hey! That woman over there, where are you going? Is this your first time in Yoshiwara?"

After hearing the shout, Ogata and A-Machi both looked towards the source of the sound.

The person who yelled was an uncle who was also wearing that special dark blue feather.

This uncle is kneeling and sitting on the side of the Yoshihara gate with several companions, with a small table in front of him.

Behind them is a magnificent mansion.

There is a lantern hanging at the entrance of this magnificent mansion, and the lantern is written with the two Chinese characters "club".

After casting their eyes behind the uncle, Ogata and A-Machi found that the uncle was looking at A-Machi.

After looking around, A-cho stretched out his finger and pointed at himself.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Who else can I talk to besides you?" The uncle said helplessly, "Is this your first time in Yoshihara?"

"Yeah." A-Machi nodded obediently.

"That's it... no wonder you just walked through the gate in such a stupid way... If a woman enters Yoshiwara, she must first come to us to get the 'female cut hand'."

"'Nyokishou'?" Ogata asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"You can understand it as a pass." The uncle said, "When a woman enters Yoshiwara, she must first get a 'female cut hand' before entering."

"When you leave Yoshihara, you have to return the 'female cut hand' before you can go out."

"There's still such a rule..." Ah-machi muttered, walking quickly towards the uncle.

"What are you doing in Yoshihara?" Before and after A-Ming came to the uncle, the uncle asked A-Ming while taking out a wooden sign from under the table.

"Do you have to answer?" A-cho asked.

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer." The uncle shrugged, "I'm just asking casually."

"Actually, I didn't intend to do anything." Ah-Ming said, "I just came to help someone from a certain tea house to deliver steamed buns."

As soon as A-Machi's voice fell, Ooki who was at the side cooperated with raising the big box with Furoshiki in his hand.

"Are you sending steamed buns... Is the girl from Youkuo greedy again... Since this is your first time in Yoshiwara, let me give you a piece of advice." Don't follow strangers."

"If someone tells you that he has some lucrative job and asks you if you want to do it together, you must not talk to these people."

"These people are basically scumbags who trick girls into being prostitutes."

"If you touch this kind of person, you yell."

"There are people from our Shirobei clubhouse everywhere in Yoshiwara."

"As long as you shout, people from the clubhouse will definitely come to rescue you."

"Oh...that's it, thank you for your reminder." Ah-Ming patted his plump breasts, "But don't worry, I'm very powerful, ordinary men can't beat me."

"Really?" The uncle seemed to think that A-Ming was just joking with him just now, so he also responded to A-Ming in a joking tone.

"In short - although Yoshihara is managed by our Shirobei clubhouse, it is not a particularly safe place. Please pay attention to your property and safety."

"Here, this is your 'female cut hand'."

"When you want to leave Yoshiwara, come here to return the 'female cut hand'."

"Be careful not to lose it. If you lose it, it will be troublesome. It will take a lot of effort to confirm that you are not a wanderer from a certain wandering house."

Ah-machi took the wooden sign from the uncle.

This square wooden sign has the words "Shirobei Clubhouse" written in big characters.

There is also a large square seal on the lower left corner of this line of characters.

After playing with the "female cut hand" in his hand for a while, Ah-cho muttered:

"Why do you Yoshihara still have such a troublesome rule that women must rely on 'female cut hands' to get in and out?"

"Do you want to know why?" Uncle's eyes flashed a strange color, "The reason why the shogunate set up such regulations is actually very simple."

"It's just to prevent Yoshiwara's wandering girls from escaping."

"The entire Yoshihara, only this gate can enter and exit." The uncle pouted towards the gate beside him.

"Only let women who have the 'female cut hand' enter and exit Yoshihara, in order to prevent wandering women from escaping through this gate."

"From another perspective, this is also a cruel rule."

"Okay, now that you've finished receiving the 'Female Kishou', let's go to Yoshihara. You keep standing here, and it will prevent others from claiming and returning the 'Female Kishou'."

There was already a long line behind Ogata and Atachi when they came to receive the "female cut hands".

The people who make up this long line are all women of different ages. These women are either empty-handed, or holding the wooden sign called "Female Cut Hand".

Chapter 359 The Enemies of the "Sword Master" Are Gathering in Edo【6100 words】

Falling in love with you Kanshu.com, I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After listening to a book friend's suggestion, I have increased the bonus mentioned in Chapter 357 for the "Imperial Trial" to 100 taels.

As long as you press and hold a chapter, "Whether to reload" will be displayed. After reloading the chapter, you can see the new content of the chapter that has been changed.

Realizing that they seem to be affecting other people to claim or return Nyokiri, Ogata and A-Machi hurriedly left from the "Nyokiri pick-up point".

However, before leaving the "female cut hand pick-up point", Ogata pouted at the magnificent mansion behind the uncle:

"Excuse me, is the room behind you the Shirobei clubhouse?"

"That's right." The uncle nodded, with a faint look of pride on his face, "This house is the Shirobei clubhouse, if you encounter any trouble in Yoshihara, just come to the clubhouse, we will help you your."

"Of course, what we can help is limited to matters within Yoshihara."

"Okay." Ogata said casually, "I will."

After looking up and down the Shirobei clubhouse in front of him, Ogata thought to himself:

It's really the same as what I heard from the lady today. The Shirobei clubhouse is located next to the gate. After passing through the gate of Yoshiwara, you can see the Shirobei clubhouse on the right.

Um?what is that?
