Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 213

Arriving at the door of the most prestigious store, the famous Pontocho, Xiaoya entered the door and negotiated briefly, saying that she was from China and wanted to make a documentary, and was politely invited to the lobby. The three girls knelt on the tatami and bowed to Ding Xu. salute.

Ding Xu looked at the professionals in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a pink silk kimono, his face was as pale as chalk, his lips were bright red like roses, and he wore a butterfly hair ornament on his hair, which looked like a moving artwork.

Why is the whiteness of people's faces so rosy and so different?
Because of the permission, the two cameras can capture various details. Ding Xu introduced from the side: "This is actually a tea house, which is equivalent to a geisha agency."

"The owner of the tea house is my mother. Most of them are senior geisha, or famous brokers in Hualiu Street. They are old-fashioned in the circle."

"Girls are sent to the tea house from the age of twelve or thirteen to receive strict training in etiquette and the rules of dealing with people. They take at least three years of hard training before they can appear on the stage. "

"Is it a bit like our ancient brothel oiran?"

"That's why geisha have a tradition of performing art and not selling themselves since ancient times. This means that they can't and can't go out with guests casually for the night, no matter how much money they pay!"

"Don't wait to hear Brother Xu finish."

"But rich people can take care of them!"

"It's similar to our ancient times when we married Qingguan and went home as a concubine. Keeping a geisha has been a fashion for men in the upper class since ancient times. Guess how much it is?"

Everyone came to the largest private room, Ding Xu sat in the main seat, and the four vases sat next to him to start, jokingly said: "During the bubble economy period of the 80s of the last century, the annual maintenance fee was at least 2000 million yen!"

"One million RMB per year!"

"Not including the cost of buying kimonos and various cosmetics for them, as well as renting a house, if all of them are added up, it will cost more than 5000 million yen."

"Just ask if you are afraid?"

"I'm so happy." Sakura almost blurted out, and quickly shut up.

Gou Tuanzi and Si Nan looked at each other in shock, too, isn't it too low to raise a mistress now?

Xiaoya brought two geisha into the door and sat directly on the left and right sides of Ding Xu. One of them smiled and handed over a business card that said Meiyue?

"See? This is the rule."

After translating, Ding Xu explained: "As a geisha, you are not allowed to have individual contact with guests. Everything is dispatched by the owner of the teahouse, that is, mother."

"The income also belongs to my mother, and I will be paid a salary every month based on my performance."

After receiving another business card called Lily Leaf, the pattern of each business card is different?
They are all printed on sticky paper, you can peel off the business card and stick it where you like?

Too human, right?

Because of the greeting in advance, they started drinking and chatting formally. Xiaoya sat next to her and was in charge of translating. Ding Xu soon knew that Meiyue did not become an artist since she was a child, but was infected by her profession after finishing university and devoted herself to it.

You must get up at eight o'clock every morning to practice singing, dancing and learning to play the piano until noon.

Eating noon is the happiest time of the day, and the cooking sisters eat together.Start work in the evening, arrange hair and makeup, wear beautiful kimonos, and wait for the call of the guests.

They only serve this store. Many girls have to go to five or six places in one night when they are the busiest.I work very late every day, and I don’t even see off the last batch of guests until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night.

"Brother Xu just got a revelation!"

"Even if a local tyrant falls in love with a geisha, he must first propose marriage to his mother. She will definitely not immediately agree, but will use various means to investigate your background and asset reputation?"

"Only a top-notch man with both wealth and morality will nod in agreement, and send people out gracefully. If there is no permission, there is only one end for a coquettish bitch who hooks up with customers without permission"

"Expelled from the world of flowers and willows!"

Ding Xu stared at the camera with a face full of shock. Although he could not speak the language, Miyue, who was proficient in observing words and expressions, kept pouring sake with a smile on his face. Anyway, the cup was small, so he just took a sip.

The other party was also unambiguous, brought the small wine glass, raised the fragrant sleeve to cover it, and pursed his mouth, the speed was absolutely fast.

Soon after two bottles of sake, the thick white makeup, gorgeous kimono, delicate headgear, and retrospective smile gave Meiyue a dreamlike beauty.

Finally understand what it's like to drink with a geisha!
You can't use teasing and teasing language, you can't touch hands, let alone hug, you can only accept attentive and tender service with appreciation.

Drinking is counted by time, with two hours as a unit. After more than 40 minutes, the luthier was called, and the two began to perform dances.

Sanxian playing and singing accompaniment, three traditional dances, one move and one style, full of charm.Ding Xu felt uncomfortable on his knees, and turned into sitting cross-legged watching. He gradually understood that the so-called sex of a geisha does not mean beautiful appearance, but whether it is gentle and elegant in demeanor, whether its words and deeds are pleasing to the eye.

With just one look, even without any movement, the other party can understand your thoughts, and the service will be in place naturally.

"A true master must know a little bit of everything." Xiaoya whispered beside him: "From the island country's tea ceremony to China, from the temple culture to the cultural inheritance of the two countries, from the ancient streets of Kyoto to Tokyo's Ginza..."

"Whether it's international news or gossip, you know everything well. The most important thing is to know how to cater to a man's self-esteem. The key is to observe the words and feelings."

Ding Xu nodded inwardly. No wonder on TV, when local tyrants treat guests and politicians gather, they like to find geishas to accompany them. They know how to play!
No wonder Mizuki's most admired idol is Mineko Iwasaki, who has seen countless people in her life, and has accompanied President Ford, Kissinger and the Queen of England, and the Prime Minister is even more commonplace.

Whether you have radish legs or a pockmarked face, with a gorgeous kimono, tall wooden clogs, and elegant small steps, you will have a shy expression that wants to refuse but welcome.

Dim the light even more, pour a little wine into the man's belly, and in a hazy state, he is like a fairy!

When you return to your room and turn off the lights,

Done!

"Brother Xu got in touch with it today, and found that the plots of the film and television dramas are all nonsense, and he didn't understand the difference between a geisha and an oiran at all."

"It's no wonder that "Memoirs of a Geisha" was just published, and it immediately aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of the original protagonist Mineko Iwasaki, and directly sued the author with a lawsuit?"

"Deserved!"

Facing the camera, Ding Xu said, "Even if Sayuri played by the international chapter is also a geisha in the eyes of Westerners, I heard that there are no more than two hundred qualified geisha in the entire Kyoto."

"Needless to say the level of business, veterans who have been immersed for many years can easily identify the level of qualifications and rankings of their peers at a glance based on their hairstyles, and they can even see which people only have appearances but no real souls."

"Sure enough, only colleagues are enemies!"

"The tea house needs to train an excellent geisha, which takes more effort than training one's own daughter. Not only the etiquette is perfect, the book is tactful, but also you must know astronomy and geography..."

"Instead, do you have to kill the big one before you get married?"
