Chapter 140 The Significance of Yoshihara
Chapter 140 The Significance of Yoshihara
In the time it takes to speak, Taifu and his party have already arrived outside the door.
The attendants who walked in front opened the sliding door, and they were not allowed to enter the house in their identities. The virgin girl holding a pipe and tobacco followed behind Fujihime, and then two 'apprentice' girls, if there were no accidents, they Just stand behind Taifu all night like this.
Fujihime walked in reservedly, without looking at anyone in the room. After a while, these people would naturally show her great hospitality, and she just had to sit and accept the amazing gaze.
The Fusangshen were indeed looking at her, but their feelings were completely different.
...It feels that it is not as beautiful as imagined.
Xiaohumaru looked suspiciously at the unusually petite woman who was set off by the gorgeous kimono. She wore a high bun and was decorated with more than ten various hairpins. When she passed in front of her, she carried a gorgeous and luxurious fragrance.
...is musk.
The big fox ducked back unhappily, and then took a researching look at Sanriyue.
Although it's rude to think so, she still doesn't look more 'beautiful' than Sanriyue.
The Five Swords Under Heaven couldn't even maintain a natural smile anymore.
All Fu Sangshen would look at him subconsciously after sizing up the Taifu passing by.
...Do you think I can't see what you are thinking?
The unhappy Sanriyue snapped open the folding fan, using this method to vaguely remind these guys of their faux pas.
The crisp voice attracted Fujihime, who had just sat down, to look over there from the corner of her eye, because it was just below the side, even if she looked over, she would not appear to be moving too much, and could maintain a natural posture.
It's not the main position, it's probably because I want to attract my attention... force... maybe...
The other party raised his eyes to meet her gaze, then turned the folding fan slightly, and smiled at her with the cover of the fan.
……
I don't know how long my mind was blank, Fujihime lowered her eyes and stared at the wine glass in front of her as if nothing happened. The wine in the vermilion shallow glass was crystal clear, and she seemed to be able to see the smile precipitated in it.
...It's beautiful, it's a beauty that you can forget your identity and gender and just be impressed.
Originally, he was ready to face the bald and bloated country samurai who opened his mouth and pretended to be elegant, but the words did not express his meaning, but the contrast was too sharp, and Fujihime was a little at a loss for a while, not knowing how to identify the other party's identity.
... What is it? This is the real beauty, and those blind people should really take a good look at it.
She finally thought, relieved and sad.
Although Fujihime felt that she was super professional and immediately looked away, the fusangshen present could see her actual situation clearly and sighed in their hearts.
Ah, it's an ordinary human being who froze after seeing the crescent moon.
The Five Swords of the World had already started drinking as if nothing had happened. On the way, they repeated their tricks and smiled at the judge, but what they got was still a helpless shake of the head. and pampering.
It's a pity that the people who most want to be useful turn a blind eye to it.
The Five Swords of the World sighed, and decided to continue to work hard in the future, at least to get rid of Dian Dangfan once.
Um?Of course, there is no more sense of accomplishment in being lazy by yourself.
The program that had been interrupted due to waiting for the Taifu to appear was re-arranged and began to perform. The rhythm of the snare drum sounded densely, and the actors began to sing.
Amidst the familiar bustle, Fujihime felt that she had calmed down again, and looked arrogantly at the guests who invited her tonight. With the smile just now, it doesn't matter if everyone else is ugly and bald.
...What the hell is going on here, is it actually me who is paying the bill tonight?
After seeing the faces of the people in the room clearly, Fujihime, who had doubts about her identity for a moment, blinked uncomfortably. A shopkeeper who dresses up as an entertainer also...
The point is that each of them is keenly aware of Fujihime's gaze, and some even smile (subconsciously) after meeting her eyes.
No, when I came out today, there was no powder on my face, and any changes in my face can be seen clearly, so I absolutely can't lose my composure just like that.
She hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at these people again. Although she tried her best to maintain the cold demeanor before, Fujiji had already complained to the proprietress of Yangwu ten thousand times in her heart. , It is too difficult to make the other party fall in love with yourself. If you are yourself, you can be satisfied just by looking in the mirror.
The proprietress, who didn't dare to look up at the nobleman's face and only had a general impression, was very wronged.
After seeing the change of performers, Tsurumaru lost interest in the show. In fact, he regretted that he didn't sit next to the God Judge just now. The smiling face and the drug seller seemed to be watching something interesting from before.
Who let him be a retainer now, he can't get too close to his master, and he can't just sit beside him, alas, it's so boring.
Taifu has already seen it, can't you find something else interesting to do?
Bai He leaned on the ground with one elbow, held the wine glass in the other hand, turned his head to see what they were doing now, but soon, he knew what was going on without looking at him.
Yao Lang was mixing the incense, and the quiet and distant fragrance rose from the furnace, spreading faintly to other corners of the room.
"It's such a familiar fragrance," Sankaiyue closed the fan in her hand, "Tsurumaru?"
"Hey, are you going to hold a nostalgic meeting today?" Tsurumaru said in surprise, "It's been a long time—Meihua Xiangwan."
"But it seems that there is a lack of taste," San Riyue thought for a while, and smiled meaningfully at the judge, "My lord is really considerate, do you know there are people here who don't like the smell of animals?"
Jing Mo smiled and acquiesced to his statement.
"If you lack one taste, the fragrance will not be thick enough," Yaolang said softly, "This incense burner has regrets."
"I have a special incense here, Yaolang, do you want to try it?" The boy next to the god judge stepped forward and opened the box he was holding - not the one containing the little pornographic book, which contained four Porcelain box, "Maybe it can make up for it a little bit."
After one of the porcelain boxes was opened, there were some tortoiseshell-shaped translucent sheets inside, and there was no aroma.
"Just do a little demonstration." The judge told the boy.
The boy nodded yes, and took the small burner beside him to replace the incense slices, and then put the fine silver needles that had touched the spices on the incense slices. After this simple and rough demonstration, he raised the incense burner and asked the medicine man to try the incense.
The fragrance on the needle was very faint, and you couldn't smell anything if you were a little further away. No matter how curious Tsurumaru was, he could only see Yakurou's reaction.
"...Do you want to give it to me?" After sniffing, the medicine seller put down the incense burner, looked at the porcelain box pushed over by the boy after putting it away, "such a precious thing."
"It won't be needed anymore," the God Judge smiled, "After Yao Lang accepts it, let's find a proper use for it."
"Then... it's better to obey than to be respectful."
Watching Yaolang put the box into the cage, the judge turned his head to look at the grandpa who was sitting up front. The woman had been sitting there without moving the cups and chopsticks in front of her, but the four children standing behind her were always sneaking up. He raised his eyes to look this way, and his face flushed when he accidentally caught someone's gaze.
Hasebe seemed to be thinking about something, but it was completely different from Candlestick who was also in deep thought but kept smiling. Even if he was in a daze, he still had a serious face with a frown and a very worried look.
The kabuki girl on the stage covered her face with a fan and walked in a small walk, and the Tsurumaru in the audience held the pipe she just got and joined hands with Mikayuege on the opposite side. With the eunuch present, it was inconvenient to say many things, and there were limited things to do, which made drinking very boring and the atmosphere in the room was not good.
The judge sighed, and looked at the shikigami who had brought in the wine from the corner of his eyes.
After receiving the order, the adult Shikigami pushed open the sliding door and walked out. Not long after, there was another commotion in the courtyard.
A group of people brought fireworks for performances in the courtyard, carefully avoiding the dry mountains and rivers in the courtyard, and began to release them. The flames are not very high, most of them are below three meters, like flower branches and waterfalls, which is a suitable height for viewing in the house However, the gorgeous flames have a special interest in the cold wind of winter nights.
It's just that the people around who look nervous for fear of catching fire are a little bit unpleasant.
Fujihime admired the fireworks sideways for a while, a little undecided whether to drink and leave.
There is nothing to doubt the financial resources of these people, and the appearance of the proprietress of Yangwu can explain everything, but after so long, she still hasn't recognized the identity of the land from these people, which can't be said to be a smooth progress.
They don't have any family crest marks on them, and it can be seen that they are hiding it intentionally. The two of them have a Kyoto accent, and the others can't hear it. The person sitting in the main seat is very powerful, but they don't get along like ordinary people As a retainer, such information is far from enough.
Besides... Except for the beginning, these people no longer pay attention to her, like watching some strange bird, it's over after watching it, and even the content of the conversation between each other has been restrained, sitting here like The decoration is average, and it is still a bit of an obstacle.
Just as she was hesitating, a boy came over and put the wooden box in front of her.
"Let's express your heart," Jing Mo smiled, "Miss Fujiji, please accept it."
The box was made of ebony, with exquisite mother-of-pearl flowers on it. Fujihime took a quick look, and it seemed to be a scene from the Tale of Genji.
The meaning of the other party's words was obvious, but Fujihime found that she was very calm inside, and she was not angry that she was underestimated. She even thanked the other party for giving her this step. go.
The virgin hurriedly picked up the heavy box on the table, and then chased after her.
Probably because of the urgency to get up, Fujihime's legs and feet were a little stiff, and she couldn't slow down after taking a few steps, so she could only move forward in small steps, the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't do it.
Not wanting to lose face in front of these people, Fujiki bit her lower lip and walked out as naturally as possible.
"Let me take you out," Candlestick cut up and stretched out his arms, motioning for the other party to support him, "The road is not easy to walk, please be careful where you step."
He also has a deep understanding of how it feels to walk with numb feet after kneeling, and he can't bear the hard work of this heavily decorated woman.
Fujihime put a hand on her arm, and found that the other party didn't take the opportunity to get close to her, and couldn't help feeling complicated again.
"Sister, today's guest is really handsome."
After returning to the Fuji House, Fujihime sat down and asked two girls to help her untie her hair. The ebony box was placed in front of her. After opening the lid, there was a set of pure gold hair accessories inlaid with coral. The weight was amazing, but there was still nothing Directional ornamentation.
"Yes."
She replied casually: "Looking at what Hongye House has to say, this one guest is much stronger than the sum of all her places."
"The Red Leaf House will definitely be very angry," the girl said, "When will they invite sister to a banquet next time?"
"I guess it will be soon." Fujiji said lazily, but he was thinking about the purpose of these people.
It's definitely not for ordinary fun, she has seen enough guests, some are fascinated and some are disappointed, some she looks down on and some look down on her, but no matter what kind of emotion the center of gravity is on her, like this It was the first time that I was called to have a look and then ended.
It's like going through a cutscene.
"Today's fireworks are also very beautiful, but it's a pity that it didn't snow, otherwise it would be even more beautiful. I don't know what show will be next time, so I look forward to it."
The girls happily discussed what they had seen in the evening. Young, handsome, elegant and rich, this time the guests could satisfy their best imaginations.
"I don't know if they will stay here for a long time. I don't think they are like Edo people."
The girl behind carefully looked at her face, and continued: "It would be great if I could be like Mrs. Takao, I can go somewhere else..."
Fujiki sneered, then turned around and pinched the girl's face with two fingers: "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts! Sister, I was wrong..."
Fujihime didn't keep her hand, the girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, she was aggrieved but didn't dare to struggle.
"It's good if you know it hurts," Fujihime let go, picked up a hair comb from the box, let go and let it fall back into the box with a clang, "this is Yoshihara, and we are wandering girls, no matter how much we brag about it outside, You also have to remember why you came here and who we are.”
"Now that you've come here," Fujihime's beautiful face was numb, "Don't think about romance, but think about how to become a useful person and live a good life."
The author has something to say: Yoshiwara’s Taifu, the Oiran’s rule of meeting guests at the beginning, is like this
But Dao Dao will only think: I have seen her, why is she still leaving?So boring, hurry up and do something else
...Do you still remember that there is a mission to come here...
