[Timotoya] is located in the most prosperous area of [Kyoto], Yuguo Street.
This place is called "Paradise on Earth", not because of how beautiful the scenery is, nor because of how prosperous the streets here are.
Rather, this is the best place to enjoy a luxurious life.
Along the way, the buildings on both sides of the street are all built in the Japanese classical style.
Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to the pavilion; the waist of the corridor is unobstructed, and the eaves and teeth are high; everyone is holding on to the terrain and fighting each other.
Panpan Yan, Yan Yan Yan, honeycomb water vortex, I don’t know how many tens of millions have fallen!
According to Wang Hao, since it is daytime, the true appearance of Youguo Street cannot be seen.
If it comes at night, the place will be glittering with stars, feasting and feasting, and crowded with people. It will be like an imperial capital, making people forget to leave.
Not far away, Wang Hao brought Chen Qi and Suzaku to a tall wooden building.
"Here we are, right here."
Chen Qi raised his head slightly and saw a plaque with Chinese characters for "Tibenwu" standing in front of the wooden building's door.
Suzaku couldn't wait any longer, "Then let's go in quickly."
She was about to move inside, but was stopped by Wang Hao.
"Sister Zhuque, why don't you wait for us outside."
Suzaku wondered, "Why?"
Wang Hao touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.
Suzaku narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, why bother hiding it?"
"This place, in a sense, is only accessible to men."
"Only men are allowed in?"
Zhuque still found it funny, "What kind of weird rule is this?
Are you looking down on us women?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Wang Hao coughed twice, "Because this is that kind of place, that kind of..."
"What kind of place?
Please make it clear."
"It's a place where men can live happily, which is what we call a brothel in the traditional Chinese sense."
Suzaku: "..."
Wang Hao continued to explain, "Generally speaking, when a woman comes here, she either goes to perform as an artist or sells herself, and Sister Zhuque, you definitely don't want to be misunderstood like that, right?"
so……"
Suzaku suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She took a sip and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."
Then, she glanced at Chen Qi with some ill intentions.
"Lord Dragon, before I left, Sister Miaoyu repeatedly asked me to keep an eye on you to prevent you from messing around with others."
"When you go to a place like this, you have to be careful and don't let those vixens lure you away."
Chen Qi was a little dumbfounded, "Who do you think I am?
Aren’t we here to do business?”
Zhuque pursed his lips, "Who knows."
After saying that, Suzaku puffed out his cheeks slightly and left with a puff of energy.
After Zhuque walked away, Wang Hao asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, what is your relationship with Sister Zhuque?"
I thought you were a couple at first, but then I thought you were a couple, but why did I hear Sister Zhuque say just now that you have a lover?"
Chen Qi rolled his eyes and said, "She and I are just an ordinary boss-subordinate relationship. Don't make random guesses."
"Let's go in and have a look."
After saying that, Chen Qi stepped in.
Wang Hao saw this and showed an ambiguous smile, "Is this the relationship between the boss and the subordinate?
Why do I feel like it’s not just that?”
Entering [Tiben House], you can see that the decoration here is luxurious and dazzling.
Perhaps in order to better support the atmosphere, although there are windows on all sides, they are covered by curtains and only illuminated by a few warm-colored lanterns.
As Wang Hao said, [Tibenwu] is a brothel in the traditional sense.
Most of the women who come here are forced by life to sign a contract of prostitution.
In exchange, their food, clothing, housing and transportation can be guaranteed.
If you get ahead, a rich person may redeem your life.
There are also different levels of courtesans, and the highest-ranking courtesan is the one who stands out the most.
Needless to say, she is beautiful. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as eighteen kinds of martial arts.
They are the money-making signs that each brothel spends a lot of money to cultivate.
The reason why Wang Hao brought Chen Qi here was because Taichi Sugata had a soft spot for the courtesan of this brothel.
He will come here often to spend money, and if you are lucky, you may be able to meet him.
"You two, do you have a reservation?"
As soon as Chen Qi and Wang Hao entered, a woman stepped forward to ask.
Wang Hao took a step forward, "I made an appointment yesterday to meet Li Xia Oiran."
The woman nodded, "Please follow me."
Afterwards, the woman took Chen Qi and the two of them to a spacious hall.
It's as big as a basketball court, with a pool in the center where flowers are blooming and water is surging.
Above the flower pond is a stage covered by curtain beads, which should be used for dance performances.
Around the pool, there are some tables, chairs and benches scattered here and there.
It is separated by a screen to roughly create a private space, where all kinds of tea, desserts and desserts are available, and there is also a dedicated person to serve you.
Under the guidance of the woman, Chen Qi and Wang Hao came to a reserved VIP seat and sat down.
Looking at the luxurious decorations around him, Chen Qi asked subconsciously, "It should cost a lot of money to reserve such a seat, right?"
Wang Hao nodded, "Because Li Xia Oiran is very famous in Youguo, many people will come here because of her reputation. If you want to reserve such a seat, you may have to queue for half a year."
"Then how did you make the appointment?"
"I'm in Japan, so I have some connections, hehe."
Wang Hao scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.
Chen Qi couldn't see through it, but he discovered last time that Wang Hao should have a close relationship with the [Nakamori Family], one of the top five golden families in Japan.
Now it seems that his guess should be correct.
Otherwise, how could Wang Hao, an international student, reserve such a rare seat?
This requires not only money, but also a certain amount of momentum.
Wang Hao looked around and said slightly nervously, "I wonder if Taichi Sugata will come today."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come," Chen Qi responded. "Anyway, we already know his whereabouts. We will definitely be able to find him. It just takes time."
Wang Hao nodded, "That's right."
While Chen Qi and Wang Hao were chatting, some of the guests around them began to touch the maids around them. Some maids also took the initiative to pour wine and tea for them and looked at each other. The atmosphere was very ambiguous.
Wang Hao's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
Chen Qi sneered for a moment, "If you want, you can order one too?"
Wang Hao quickly shook his head, "Forget it, I don't dare. I only came here secretly today. If any tigress finds out, I will definitely be torn alive."
"tigress?"
Chen Qi raised his eyebrows.
Wang Hao smiled awkwardly, "She is my fiancée."
At this time, I saw a young woman walking up to the stage in the pool.
She first bowed slightly and saluted everyone, and then said with a smile.
"My lords, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to [Tiben House] and spend this wonderful afternoon with Li Xia Oiran."
"Next, I would like to invite Li Xia Oiran to come on stage and perform a song for all of you."
