This means that she is not married yet and is still a young girl.
"This is the souvenir I brought you..."
"Not worth the money."
Bai Gui was startled for a moment, but he didn't expect that Xunzi was quite good-looking. Although he was not as stunning as when he met Bai Xiuzhu, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more heart-pounding he felt.
He calmed down and gave Xunzi a box of camellia candies he had just bought on the street.
Having a heartbeat is extremely normal.
In Memoirs of a Geisha, Chiyo glances at a passerby, causing the passerby to fall into a trance while riding a bicycle. In geisha schools, geishas are specially trained to express their flattery and capture men.
"Thank you sir."
Xunzi bowed and bowed, and when she lowered her head, the ribbon hanging from the hairpin on her bun swayed gently. At this moment, the sun was setting a trace of afterglow, and the black hair shining with the luster of crow feathers was both dazzling and soft.
A very nice fragrance penetrated Bai Gui's nose.
It's floral.
Entering a Japanese-style side room in a geisha school.
It should be a room used to entertain guests. There is a long low table with several plates of snacks on it, and there is also spare tea.
Two people sit opposite each other.
"How did sir know that I was in a geisha school?"
Xunzi deliberately suppressed her joy, but her slightly raised eyebrows could reveal a bit of her mood at the moment. As soon as she sat down, she thoughtfully poured tea for Bai Gui, showing some tea ceremony skills.
"When I traveled to Izu, I met Ajun. Ajun said that you were in Kyoto, and I happened to be in Kyoto to do something, so I took this opportunity to come to Kyoto to meet you. It wouldn't be rude..."
Bai Gui tasted the tea, took a sip and said with a smile.
Paired with refreshments, it's very relaxing.
"Whenever Sir comes to visit Xunzi, it is always unobtrusive. This is Xunzi's honor..."
Xunzi said anxiously.
"Then it's settled."
Bai Gui smiled when he heard this and casually agreed to this sentence. He put down the tea cup and couldn't help but said: "There are always some disadvantages to studying in a geisha school. Well, I don't look down on geisha, but..."
"But...for you..."
Men have two major hobbies: one is to seduce women from good families, and the other is to persuade promiscuous women to be good.
Bai Gui paused, but was speechless.
There seems to be no explanation.
Perhaps since he entered the Gion Garden Drama School, he has regarded Xunzi as his private property. This is a very overbearing concept. Human beings' desire for possession is always so strong, especially when facing those whose status is lower than themselves.
Man, it just so happens that this man still has a good impression of him...
The urge to treat things as private property is always so strong.
Bai Gui also noticed something was wrong with him and immediately said: "I will not interfere with your own choice. I can only provide you with some help within my ability..."
Xunzi smiled and didn't say much.
The two seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and started talking about other things again. For example, Xunzi asked Bai Gui if she missed her hometown during her life in Yigao. She said that she also missed her home in Koshu City in Kyoto.
I also miss Ajun a little bit about Izu.
Bai Gui also asked what the geisha needed to learn, which satisfied some of his curiosity.
"Sir, let's play a game of backgammon."
Xunzi said.
The game of Go is too difficult to learn, but she still prefers the simpler backgammon.
I've just reached the point where I have nothing to talk about.
Bai Gui also took the opportunity to agree.
Play chess.
In the evening, Xunzi's brother, the male geisha Bai Gui met at the sweet tea house last time, came to the geisha school. He was specially responsible for taking Xunzi to and from school.
"Xunzi, the teacher said you were absent from class today, how could you not attend class well..."
Rong Ji pushed the door open and said as he walked.
He saw Bai Gui who was playing chess with Xunzi, and immediately knew who this person was, with a joyful smile on his face, "It's Mr. Bai. I didn't expect that I happened to meet Mr. Bai in Kyoto."
By chance, Bai Gui's black stone defeated Xunzi's white stone, and the chess game ended.
"Yes, I came to Kyoto to do some things."
"Is it Brother Rongji?"
"Xunzi also mentioned you. Well, I met Ajun in Izu a few days ago. It was fate..."
Bai Gui put the chess pieces into the chess box and talked casually.
"Mr. Bai just came to Kyoto. Do you have a place to live? It's too late now. Why don't you go back with us..."
Rong Ji glanced at the Dahao standard black lacquer schoolbag on the ground and the suitcase he was carrying.
At first glance, I knew he was someone who had just gotten off the train.
"Brother, how could Mr. Bai be crowded together with us..."
Xunzi quickly stopped Rongji.
"Oh, I was wrong."
Rong Ji suddenly realized how a high-class person like Bai Gui could be squeezed into the same room with them. He quickly bowed and apologized.
This is an insult to noble people.
"It's okay. I've just arrived in Kyoto and I'm not familiar with it yet. I probably won't have anywhere to stay at night, so I can just squeeze in."
Bai Guisheng felt a little uncomfortable, but he still remembered that he and Bai Youde were crowded in the stable. People should not forget their roots. Although he also likes to enjoy, it does not mean that he cannot endure hardship.
If Rongji hadn't said this, he could have rented a suitable house.
But Rongji had already spoken, and refusing would undoubtedly be a bit rude. Besides, it was just a place to stay, so there was nothing to care about.
Gion is still bustling at night.
Most of the people walking back and forth were geishas. They were not as casual as they were during the day, but in very formal geisha attire. They also carried shamisen and played drums as they hurried through the streets.
In many temples in Kyoto, you can see some monks having sex with prostitutes, and even worse, monks and nuns flirting with each other...
Bai Gui is not surprised at all. When he was in Tokyo, he would also encounter some such flower monks.
It is recorded in "Laosongtang Dongying Travels" that the Korean envoy once asked a Korean living in Quan Nian Temple: "The monks and nuns in this temple often stay overnight in the Buddhist temple. Are there any young monks and nuns who have no choice but to offend?"
It means that if these monks and nuns sleep together at night, won't something happen?
The man replied with a smile: "Ni Yun will return to her parents' home, and she will return it after giving birth."
After Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, publicly advocated that monks could marry and have children, no monks in the temples in Japan kept any strict rules and regulations. For example, the famous Japanese monk Renru, a businessman, even had five wives and concubines and twenty-seven children.
.
Monks generally have monastery property and rich family assets.
It's just that there are too many temples in Kyoto, and it's too irritating for these monks to spend the night in the flower streets.
The more you see it, the more you get used to it.
After walking for a full two-quarters of an hour, after leaving Gion Flower Street, we came to a dark area where there were very few people and almost no pedestrians.
This is normal. Land in most prosperous places is very expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to rent it.
