Chapter 195: Memoirs of a Geisha

Holding the bowl with the palm of his left hand and holding the edge of the bowl with five fingers of his right hand, he kneels on the ground and lifts the tea bowl and sends it to Johnson. Take a sip and frown, it's very bitter, far less delicious than Longjing.

She then took turns sipping the cups and finally handed the bowl back to the tea master, who bowed and quietly withdrew through the side door to continue brewing the tea, leaving room for the guests to talk freely.

I heard that in the authentic tea ceremony, it is never allowed to talk about money, politics and other secular topics, let alone love and love.

Leaving the temple in the evening is a good feeling, SC Johnson likes this kind of clean and leisurely life, he was too tired before, and he can finally rest and rest.

Take a taxi, extremely clean and tidy, I heard the driver say that last year the three best services in the island country were selected, the first place is Tokyo Disneyland, the second place is the Imperial Hotel, and the third place is MK Taxi Company.

The vehicle is so clean that it is difficult to wipe off the dust with a white towel, and the driver is amiable and even cares like a family.

Tip and get off the bus to the most famous Gion, the legendary Geisha Flower Street, which has a history of more than 300 years. At the beginning of the 19th century, there were more than 3,000 people, and it is also one of Kyoto's business cards.

Walking down the street, you will see a stone pavement that has been polished to perfection over the years, and there are many small izakaya lined up on both sides.

When night falls, all the paper lanterns outside the house are lit, and the narrow streets resound with the sound of three strings, mixed with the light giggling of women, lighting up the night.

There are some kimono geisha walking by in a hurry, and it is strange that the face and neck are not painted with that special white?

Megumi smiled and explained that these must be tourists who experience kimono photography, and a real geisha will never be so ostentatious!

The so-called geisha are actually divided into maiko and geisha, and the maiko must be an unemployed girl, and the difference in costume is that there is a large pocket behind the back.

"Don't look at the izakaya is very small, and the consumption is very high!" Megumi whispered, "Tourists come here at most, and only the really rich can let the geisha accompany them to drink and chat." ”

Johnson waved his hand, brother is a real rich man, go!

Emi smiled, and she was also very excited, it was cool to follow the local tyrants, whether it was the Imperial Hotel, or the legendary Imperial Three Houses, or even the Kyoto Geisha, for ordinary island people, they were only heard of.

When I came to the entrance of the most magnificent store, Pontocho, I entered the door and negotiated briefly, and in the hall, three girls knelt on the tatami mats and bowed to Johnson.

Dressed in a pink silk kimono, with a pale face like chalk, lips as bright red as roses, and a butterfly hair ornament on her hair, it looks like a moving work of art.

Entering the private room, Emi sat on the left, a geisha sat on the right, and the other two accompanied Xia Long and Xia Hu. Secretly handed over a business card with the word Mitsuki written on it.

"It's a rule, as a geisha, you can't have separate contact with guests, and everything is sent by the owner of the tea house, that is, the mother. ”

After listening to the explanation, Emi translated: "The income also belongs to my mother, and then according to the performance of the appearance, the salary is paid every month." ”

Johnson took it, and saw that Xia Long and Xia Hu were a little in a hurry, one was called Lily Leaf, and the last one was called Mo Lijia. The pattern of each person's business card is actually different. It's all printed on sticky paper, so you can peel off your business card and stick it in your favorite place.

Started drinking and chatting.,Emi is in charge of translation.,Mitsuki is the most beautiful of the three.,She's not from elementary school.,But after finishing college.,Infected by the profession.,Devoted to it.。

Emi was also very interested and took the initiative to chat, and Johnson was happy to be idle, drinking and listening to gossip. Every morning you have to get up at eight o'clock in the morning to practice singing and dancing and learning to play the piano, and you have to practice until noon.

Eating noon is the happiest time of the day, cooking sisters eat together. In the evening, I start my evening work, arrange my hair and makeup, put on a beautiful kimono, and wait for the guests to call.

They only serve this store, and many of the girls run five or six places a night during their busiest hours. I work very late every day, and I don't even send off the last batch of customers until two or three o'clock in the evening.

After three rounds of drinking, he slowly became familiar with it, and secretly broke the news that his mother was also a senior geisha, and she made money and transformed into an agent.

In ancient times, when girls were twelve or thirteen years old, they were sent to a teahouse to receive strict etiquette and training in dealing with people.

Step by step, standing and sitting, to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, it takes at least five years of hard training to appear.

Since ancient times, it has been a tradition that you can't just go out with customers for the night, no matter how much money you pay. But rich people can keep it for a long time, and it has been a fashion in high society since ancient times.

In the 80s of the last century, the annual maintenance fee was at least 20 million, almost one million yuan.

Not including the cost of buying kimono and various cosmetics, as well as renting a house, if you add them all up, at least 50 million or more!

Johnson secretly smacked his tongue, no wonder it is dedicated to local tyrants, and he raises three million a year, which is really not cheap!

If you fall in love with a geisha, you must first propose to your mother, and she will not immediately agree, and you will be investigated through various means to check your background and asset reputation.

Only the best man with both wealth and virtue will nod his head in agreement, and the scenery will send people out. If you don't have permission, there is only one end for a bewitching slut who hooks up with a guest without permission:

Expelled from the Flower Willow Realm!

Mitsuki poured a full face for SC Johnson with a smile on her face, anyway, the cup was small, so she simply took a sip. The other party was not ambiguous, the small wine glass was served, the incense sleeve was lifted to cover it, and the speed was absolutely fast.

Two bottles of sake, thick white powder makeup, gorgeous kimono, delicate headdress, and retrospective smile make Mitsuki reveal a dreamy beauty.

When drinking together, you can't use teasing and teasing language, you can't touch your hands, you can't hug you, you can only use your appreciative eyes to accept careful and tender service.

The accompaniment is calculated according to the time, and two hours is a unit. After more than an hour, the other two geisha stood up, called the luthier, and began to perform the dance.

Three-string playing and singing accompaniment, three traditional dances, one move and one style, full of charm. Johnson sat cross-legged, and Mitsuki knelt for more than an hour......

I slowly understood that the so-called color of a geisha does not mean that she is beautiful, but whether her behavior is gentle and elegant, and whether her words and deeds are pleasing to the eye.

With a look, or even without a movement, the other party can understand your mind and naturally serve in place.

From the tea ceremony of the island country to China, from the temple culture to the cultural heritage of the two countries, from the ancient streets of Kyoto to Ginza, Tokyo, and finally Abenomics?

Even Emi is envious, whether it is international news or lace gossip, she knows everything about it. The most important thing is to know how to cater to men's self-esteem, observe words and looks, it's ......

It's no wonder that on TV, whenever local tyrants invite guests and politicians get together, they like to find geisha to accompany them, or people can play!

Mitsuki's most admired idol is called Iwasaki Mineko, who has read countless people in her life, accompanied President Ford, Kissinger and the Queen of England, and the prime minister is a common thing.

The reason why it is painted white is that there were no electric lights in ancient times, and the oil light line was dim, only white was more obvious in the night, and it was easy for people to see it with a smile.

Deliberately leaving a piece of skin on the hairline and nape of the neck without makeup can arouse the man's desire to hide the skin under her makeup......

Especially in island countries, the neck is the main criterion for evaluating beauty!
