Chapter 581 Qingdeng, are you fascinated by the beauty of the new character again?
How could he let such a great opportunity to show his face in front of Qingdeng easily and, if he was lucky, even make Qingdeng remember him? How could he let it slip through his fingertips?
After being given the opportunity by Neng Shiliangbi, the others immediately rushed to say:
"Speaking of this Miss Ziyang, we are already familiar with her!"
"Ms. Ziyo is the top geisha at the Gion Hyakuhana House!"
"In addition to her stunning appearance, her singing and dancing skills are even more proficient!"
"Two years ago - that is, the day she made her debut at the age of 16, all the flowers and wild flowers in Kyoto dimmed!"
"Looking at the whole of Gion... no! Looking at the whole of Gyeonggi, there is no geisha who can compare with her!"
"Truly the number one geisha in Kyoto, the number one beauty in Kyoto!"
"In front of her, Shimabara's oiran is no more than that!"
"Hehehe, it's a pity that Miss Ziyang only sells her art and not her body. Otherwise, if I could spend a night with her, then..."
This guy, who felt deeply sorry for Ziyang's refusal to sell himself, was just halfway through his words when he was poked hard with his elbow by the person next to him.
No matter what, matters concerning the lower body are not on the table.
It would be too vulgar to mention words such as "selling oneself" and "spring night" in this kind of situation.
After being reminded by the person next to him, the guy reacted immediately and quickly tightened his lips and stopped talking.
Qingdeng blinked, silently digesting the huge amount of information he had just received.
Although what these people said was very complicated and fragmentary, he finally understood it - the most beautiful woman in Kyoto in their mouth was an 18-year-old who only did business but not her body, and was the current president of Gion. The top geisha: Miss Ziyang.
Before even meeting the person, Qingdeng had already used the information he knew so far to automatically create in his mind a beautiful figure with beautiful appearance, elegant manners, melodious singing and graceful dancing.
At this moment, someone suddenly said to Qingnobo and Matsudaira Yongho in an excited tone:
"Tachibana-sama, Higo-sama, it's not too late now, let's invite Miss Ziyang to come over and join in the fun!"
In the blink of an eye, echoes arose:
"Yes, yes! Tachibana-sama, Higo-sama, without the help of geisha, the taste of this food will be much duller!"
"As expected, we still have to hire a geisha!"
"I just take this opportunity to let all the Shinsengumi adults see with your own eyes the elegance of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto!"
…
One after another, expectant eyes fell on Qingden and Matsudaira Yongho.
Seeing the public opinion like this, Matsudaira Rongbao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Well... it is not in line with the shogunate's etiquette to invite geisha to entertain at such a serious banquet..."
Although he said this, the strong "demand" for geishas still made his expression full of hesitation.
"...Tachibana-sama, what do you think?"
He kicked the ball to Qing Deng.
"..."
Qingdeng didn't dare to answer the call.
I saw him with his head drooped, looking at his nose and heart, looking like he didn't even dare to express his anger.
It is said that Qingto is still very interested in this so-called most beautiful woman in Kyoto.
Of course! This is not because Qingdeng is lustful or anything, it is entirely out of the purest curiosity!
There is such a woman whose beauty is unanimously recognized by everyone and is praised as "the most beautiful woman in Kyoto"... Everyone would want to see how beautiful she is with their own eyes, right? Right? Right?
If possible, he wouldn't mind being driven by this atmosphere and shouting: "Okay, then let's invite Miss Ziyang to join in the fun!"
However... this sentence was like a fish bone, stuck in his throat, preventing him from spitting out even a syllable.
As for why this is so... the reason is quite simple.
Just now, when he asked out of curiosity, "The most beautiful woman in Kyoto? Who is she?", he suddenly felt three sharp eyes focused on him.
Who are the owners of these three lines of sight... It is self-evident.
At that moment, Qingdeng realized deeply what a big mistake he had made.
Sanako, Mai Kinoshita and Souji were all present!
In front of them, curiosity about the most beautiful woman in Kyoto was revealed... This was basically Wu Dalang drinking giraffe milk - jumping high!
Such a scene, such a situation... it is clear at a glance what to do next!
"...It's better to skip it."
Qingdeng took a deep breath, raised his head, and straightened his face, looking like an upright gentleman.
"We will be stationed in Kyoto for only four days."
"It is really inappropriate to play around with geishas in such a big way before you have achieved outstanding achievements."
"Let's all have a good time eating food and drinking wine tonight."
"We will live in Kyoto for a long time anyway."
"If you want to have fun, you can leave it until later."
Qingdeng's statement naturally made the atmosphere at the scene stagnant.
But who would have thought that as his words fell, Neng Shiliangbi and others had not yet responded. Instead, something happened on their own side:
"Ju, this is wrong!"
Hijikata Toshizo straightened his back, looked solemn, and had an extremely serious expression.
He continued the words word for word:
“Kyoto is the birthplace of geisha!”
"Geisha herself has become an important treasure that is inseparable from Kyoto!"
"We are all descendants of Guandong, and we don't know much about everything above."
“Getting to know Kyoto more fully by getting along with geishas – I don’t think that’s a bad thing!”
Although Hijikata Toshizo spoke clearly and logically, as if he was expounding some worldly truth, anyone could tell that he was completely talking nonsense! The preface and the follower were completely inconsistent!
Does playing with geishas have anything to do with your understanding of Kyoto?
However, Ainoto understood what Hijikata Tobizo wanted to express: I want a geisha! I want to watch a geisha's performance! Hurry up!
With him taking the lead, the others began to express their opinions.
"Well... um... Mr. Tachibana, I think... it would be good to invite geisha to join in the fun."
Nagakura Shinpachi said this.
"That's right! Mr. Tachibana! How boring it is to just eat food and drink wine like this!"
Harada Sanosuke patted his thigh, his expression full of impatience.
Tu, Yong, and Yuan's eyes converged and fell on Qingdeng.
Their eyes were so intense that they seemed to set Qingdeng's clothes on fire at any moment.
I'm afraid there are no more lecherous people in the entire imperial examination hall than these three brothers. When they were in Edo, they had always been Yoshiwara's regular customers.
Therefore, it was not surprising to Qingdeng that they said such words.
Qingdeng twitched the corner of his mouth, then swept his eyes to observe the entire scene.
Looking at it, in addition to the cold-looking Saito Kazuo, the pure Shannan Keisuke and the three girls, such as Kondo Isamu, Todo Heisuke, Serizawa Kamo and others, although they are not like the "prostitute trio"
She blatantly expressed her strong desire for a geisha, but she basically looked like "She is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto... I really want to meet her".
Such an attitude of the Shinsengumi generals certainly made Nose Ryōbi and others more motivated.
Suddenly, voices calling for geishas were heard again.
Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel helpless.
To be fair, such a trivial matter is not worthy of Qingdeng going against the public opinion.
But if he obeys the public opinion, everyone can have fun, but he himself may face serious consequences in the future... Ah, no, correction, it will be a disastrous consequence...
Just when he was in trouble... the "little cotton-padded jacket" who never let him down took action.
The Souji blinked his beautiful eyes a few times, looked at Qingden, and then looked at his companions beside him.
Suddenly, she heard a "pop" sound, and she clapped her hands vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"I think Mr. Hijikata is right! I have long wanted to see the famous Kyoto geisha with my own eyes! Miss Kinoshita, what do you think?"
As she said that, she turned to look at Mai Kinoshita who was sitting on her right - the three girls were sitting side by side, Souji was sitting in the middle, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita were sitting on her left and right respectively.
Her abrupt question caused the eyes that had gathered because of her sudden voice to shift to Kinoshita Mai.
Kinoshita Mai was stunned for a moment, and then she was in a hurry, her eyes were wandering, her speech was unclear, and she mumbled vaguely:
"Huh? Ahhh... um...!"
Not only is it very noisy, but there are also many strangers... Such an occasion is simply a nightmare for a socially anxious girl like Kinoshita Mai!
Therefore, from the beginning of the banquet, Kinoshita Mai has been tightening her shoulders, drooping her head, saying nothing, and trying her best to be a little transparent.
Faced with the unexpected question from the chief executive, she was completely unprepared.
The innate introversion, the countless sights on her shoulders... the "tension" produced by the superposition of the two directly exceeded the limit of what her brain could bear.
In a panic, she hesitated for a long time without uttering a coherent sentence.
What a coincidence. The director asked further:
"Miss Kinoshita, you also want to see a geisha, right?"
"Eh? I, I'm not very fond of geisha..."
"Right?"
"Huh? This...that...!"
"Right?"
"Yes, yes..."
Kinoshita Mai seemed to have given up her struggle, her shoulders slumped and her head lowered, and her delicate body shrunk even smaller.
Looking at the surrendered girl in red, the corners of the Souji's mouth were slightly raised, and a faint "planned" look appeared on his pretty face.
"Miss Sanako, what about you? What do you think?"
She turned her gaze 180 degrees and looked at Sanako sitting on her left.
"..."
Sanako did not respond immediately.
She turned her head sideways and glanced meaningfully at Qingdeng who was sitting on the main seat. Then she let out a long breath and said softly:
"...I don't care."
The "planned" look on the director-general's face became even more intense.
Then, she raised her gaze and gave Qingden an intriguing look.
Specifically asking Sanako and Kinoshita Mai for their opinions on geisha... No matter how stupid Ayoto is, he can still understand the purpose of Souji's operation.
Qingdeng's cheeks were suddenly filled with emotion, and emotion flashed through his heart:
——Xiao Si is indeed a girl like the sun!
Now that he has obtained the permission of the three women, he no longer has any worries.
He immediately turned to Matsudaira Yongho next to him and said:
"Higo-sama, since everyone agrees like this, let's invite Miss Ziyang to cheer us up."
Matsudaira Yongho nodded lightly:
"Well, okay then. Nose-kun, this task will be left to you. You must invite Miss Ziyang... no, invite as many geishas as possible including Miss Ziyang as quickly as possible!"
"
He stood up vigorously and said loudly:
"Higo-sama, just leave it to me!"
After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the banquet hall in a hurry, his footsteps fading away.
…
…
Gion is located on the east bank of the Kamogawa River, not too close to Kinkei Kwangji Temple.
Qingto originally thought that he would have to wait at least an hour before he could see the graceful figures of the geishas.
But I didn't expect that Neng Shiliangbi's movements were quite fast.
When the minutes on the clock crossed half a circle, Qingdeng, who had excellent hearing due to the blessing of his talent "Wind Perception +1", heard the soft sound of footsteps coming from far to near.
Then - with a bang - the paper sliding door of the banquet hall was pushed open.
Nengshi Liangbi: "Come in with me!"
Like little ducks following a mother duck's buttocks, a group of geishas, slim and graceful, well-dressed and with bare feet, filed in under the leadership of Noshi Ryobi.
In an instant, the inside and outside of the banquet hall were filled with the alluring fragrance of powder.
Except for a very few people such as Saito Kazuo and Shannan Keisuke, most of the people present opened their eyes wide and stared at the geishas intently.
Or look at other people’s pretty faces.
Or glancing back and forth at the back of someone's neck.
Or lock people's feet directly.
When a woman wears very little, her eyes will focus on the places where there is fabric; when a woman wears a lot, her eyes will focus on the areas where there is no fabric - men are such simple creatures.
The women's kimono is so tight that even half of the calf is not exposed after wearing it.
In addition, the pattern structure of the kimono also has the function of concealing the figure.
Unless you're a turbulent person like Sanako, Tenjoin, and Kinoshita Mai, your breasts will just be pressed upright by the kimono skirt.
The fair skin and hot figure were all invisible... As a result, all the men's attention was naturally focused on the parts that couldn't be covered by the kimono.
For example: the back of the neck.
Another example: feet.
In the Edo period, most men were "neck-controlled" and "foot-controlled", and women were proud of having a pair of "feet."
The body is tightly wrapped in beautiful clothes, but a pair of slender feet are exposed, looming, exposed and covered, lightly stepping on geta and tatami... Such a scene was praised by countless literati in the Edo period.
A very few "radicals" have even left outrageous comments such as "want to become a tatami", "want to become a tatami that has been stepped on by XXX".
Therefore, in order to attract customers, even in the twelfth lunar month of winter when the wind is biting, wandering girls and geishas will not wear socks.
Wearing white socks is a symbol of dignity, while not wearing socks is a symbol of fashion.
In the eyes of wandering girls and geishas, wearing socks is a very old-fashioned behavior.
As the saying goes, "The most beautiful woman in the city can finally reach the age of twenty-eight," and "I have never known the size of my foot bag for more than twenty-seven years."
Qingden was also keeping a close eye on the geishas.
However, his eyes were not filled with vulgarity or obscenity.
He spends many years getting along with top beauties like Sanako, Tenzouin, Kinoshita Mai, and Souji, and his threshold for women has been raised extremely high.
It is undeniable that these geishas currently in attendance are all beautiful.
But in Qingdeng's eyes, they were just a bunch of mediocre and vulgar fans who could not bring up his sexual interest at all.
Qingnobo is now looking for the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.
He really wanted to know: How beautiful a person must be to gain the unanimous recognition of the powerful people in Kyoto who have visited countless people.
Although he didn't know the specific appearance of Miss Ziyang, Qingden could intuitively conclude that these ordinary people were definitely not the most beautiful women in Kyoto!
Within a few moments, all the geishas - 32 in total - were in attendance.
When the last geisha crossed the threshold, Ayoto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking to himself: What? Is it gone? Are these all geisha?
At the same time that this thought popped up in his mind——
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak...
Light footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Qingdeng raised his eyes and followed the sound - the green color, reminiscent of the fertile fields in early summer, broke into his field of vision.
Although saying this seems to make Qingdeng very lustful, at this moment, when the woman in green walked into the banquet hall calmly, Qingdeng was really stunned on the spot.
