$125, Flower Street

Still the same Shimada bun.

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 her, the more he looked at her, and the more she looked at her, the more heart-pounding she 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 on his bicycle to fall into a trance. In geisha schools, geishas are specially trained to express their charms and capture men.

"Thank you sir."

Xunzi bowed and bowed her head, the ribbon hanging from the hairpin swaying 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.

The two sat 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 poured tea for Bai Gui thoughtfully, 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 see 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 satisfying.

"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 his teacup and couldn't help but said: "There are always some disadvantages to studying in a geisha school. Well, it's not that I look down on geishas, ​​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 Drama School, he has regarded Xunzi as his private property. This is a very overbearing concept. Human beings' possessive desire is always so strong, especially when faced with someone whose status is lower than themselves, who happens to have a good impression of him...

The urge to treat things as private property is always so strong.

Bai Gui also noticed that something was wrong with him and immediately said: "I will not interfere with your own choice. I can only provide you with some help that I can..."

Xunzi smiled and didn't say much.

The two seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness they had just had, and started talking about other things again. For example, Xunzi asked Bai Gui if she missed her hometown during her life in a high school. 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 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.

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 last time in the sweet tea house, 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..."

Rongji 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 spoke 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 it was someone who had just gotten off the train.

"Brother, how could Mr. Bai be crowded 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 can't 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 Rong Ji had already spoken, so 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.

The figures shuttling back and forth were mostly geishas. They were not dressed casually as they did during the day, but in formal geisha costumes, carrying shamisen and drums, and hurried through the streets.

There are many temples in Kyoto, and you can also see some monks visiting prostitutes, and even worse, monks and nuns flirting with each other...

Bai Gui was not surprised, and he could occasionally meet some such monks in Tokyo.

It is recorded in "Laoshoutang Dongying Xinglu" that a Goryeo envoy once asked a Goryeo person living in Quannen Temple: "The monks and nuns in this temple often stay overnight in the Buddha Hall. Are there any young monks and nuns who can't help but offend each other?"

Meaning, won't these monks and nuns stay overnight together, won't there be any trouble?

The person smiled and replied: "If a nun is pregnant, she will return to her parents' home and return after giving birth."

After Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, publicly advocated that monks could marry and have children, no monks in temples in Japan followed any rules and regulations. For example, Rennyo, a famous monk from Japan, even had five wives and concubines and 27 children.

Monks usually have temples and rich family wealth.

It's just that there are too many temples in Kyoto, and these monks staying in the flower streets at night are too eye-catching.

After seeing it so many times, I got used to it.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, I was far away from the Gion flower streets and came to a dark area. There were few people here, and almost no pedestrians were seen.

It's normal. Most prosperous places are very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to rent.
