121. Bai Xiongqi's Warning (Seventh Update, Please Subscribe First)

Geisha are also divided into different grades!

In the Kanto region of Japan, geisha are called "Yunzhe", and the apprentice period is called "Banyu". Google search reading in the Kansai region calls geisha "Yunzi" or "Yunji", and the apprentice period is called "Maiko".

The transliteration of Yunji is "Geisha".

The main role of geisha is artist, and the word "Ji" and "Ji" are just used to distinguish between men and women.

Of course, the so-called not selling sex is also like the female schoolmaster in the brothel, often waiting for the price, and when the time is right, selling "Shuiyang".

Shuiyang has a similar meaning to the previous broken plain.

Now Xunzi has entered the geisha school, specializing in learning the talents of geisha, which is equivalent to a higher grade and more autonomy.

"Is Xunzi living in the okiya?"

Bai Gui poured a cup of green tea for Ajun and him respectively. In Japan, 90% of the tea produced locally is green tea, so the tea in the hotel is mostly green tea, which is cheap and affordable.

He took a sip of tea and asked.

"Sir, you misunderstood. Kaoru is taken care of by Brother Rongji. She is just a nominal employee in the okiya in Banqiao District."

"Brother Rongji is her real brother..."

Ajun explained anxiously.

If it is a geisha in the okiya, it is more troublesome. The body contract is in the okiya, and the owner of the okiya is completely at his disposal. It is equivalent to the madam of a brothel, and it is generally difficult to fool and contact.

In addition, geishas are not allowed to contact customers before they have learned the skills.

That's why Bai Gui asked this question.

With a trace of caution.

Who knows which big man will be behind the okiya? It would be bad to get involved in it...

Make preparations in advance.

Be prepared.

Then Ajun said to Bai Gui: "Brother Rongji and Kaoru are both unlucky at home. They also had assets in Kofu at first. After the death of Rongji and Kaoru's father, they were driven out of the house by their eldest son. They could only run the geisha industry and perform plays everywhere..."

Erjie means troublesome and useless.

Kofu is Kofu City, the capital of Yamanashi Prefecture, and its name is also related to Kai Province.

In Japan, the father and the eldest son have the highest status in the family. When eating, the two sit in the main seat, while the other second sons or younger brothers and sisters can only sit in the lower seat. The eldest son must be addressed as "adult", without any dignity.

The property is also inherited by the eldest son, and other children can't get a share.

If the family conditions are good, like Ichigo Tohei Saburo, although he can't inherit the family business, he still has the possibility of studying. But if the conditions are not good, the family property is not enough for the eldest son himself, and he thinks it is too little, then the other children can only be swept out of the house.

Ajun's words mean that Fumiko is also a good man who is forced to engage in this profession.

However, after entering the geisha school, it is equivalent to "turning over".

Some families are also proud that their daughters can enter the art world.

...

Bai Gui and Ajun have nothing to talk about except Fumiko.

During the chat, Bai Gui also got a general understanding of Ajun's situation. A-jun works as a helper in the hotel, rubbing backs at sento, and occasionally works as a "girl" if the price is right for the customer.

Girls sell their bodies, unlike geishas.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bai."

A-jun asked to leave. If it weren't for Bai Gui being the benefactor mentioned by Xunzi, she wouldn't have talked so much with Bai Gui. He was a person she couldn't reach, and she felt particularly restrained and uncomfortable after a few words.

"I hope to see you next time."

Bai Gui took money out of his wallet and handed over a 1-yen bill.

This was the meal fee.

A-jun also came in under the pretext of delivering the meal for him.

The meal fee was probably not very expensive, maybe one or two cents. He told A-jun that the rest could be used as a tip, and there was no need to give change.

A-jun showed a happy look on his face, and kept bowing and thanking him when he left.

After A-jun closed the paper partition door.

Bai-gui was no longer in the mood to read, so he opened the manuscript and continued to write the book.

The fountain pen he used.

Writing with a hard pen is much faster than writing with a soft pen.

The next morning.

This day passed.

Bai Gui rarely saw Ajun.

But he didn't want to ask.

Some things are just done casually. Deliberately intruding will make others feel at a loss.

On the way back to Tokyo, he saw many people put a bunch of chrysanthemums in front of their doors. Chrysanthemum is the national flower of Dongying, and it also means mourning the dead. Most of the pedestrians coming and going were dressed in black.

The state funeral in Japan to mourn the death of the prime minister also ended yesterday.

These are just aftereffects.

"Meihe, now the situation is changing day by day. After all, you are weak alone. You must learn to cherish your body and keep it for a useful body..."

"Remember to think twice before doing anything."

When they were about to part, Bai Xiongqi warned Bai Gui when they were not paying attention.

Although he also admired Bai Gui's behavior of boosting the country's prestige, if he really became his brother-in-law, he still hoped that Bai Gui could be more stable and think carefully before doing anything.

Now Bai Gui is a teenager, and it is normal for him to have some emotional disputes...

After a few years, after being polished, he will be a real talent and jade.

A gentleman is like jade, which needs to be cut and polished.

"Meihe remembers."

Bai Gui nodded. His thoughts coincided with Bai Xiongqi's. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a little "reckless". But he did not intend to explain these things. Sometimes recklessness is a good thing. At least others can tolerate him more.

A teenager should look like a teenager.

Several people said goodbye one by one.

Bai Xiongqi and Bai Xiuzhu will continue to stay in Japan for a while, while Xun Ge'er will go to the newspaper to continue working. He is not like Bai Gui, who is the editor-in-chief and a cash cow, and has freedom in work.

And Bai Gui also called an open carriage and rushed to the first high school.

There are only two days left in the seven-day vacation approved by Principal Yoshino. In four or five days, it will be the time for the midterm exam.

He also needs to review a little to be prepared.

His schedule during this period was full. In addition to studying hard for a week when he first arrived at the first high school, the rest of the time was spent on writing and practicing martial arts. He did not study the courses of the first department seriously...

However, the midterm exam of the first department only tested Zhu Xi's philosophy and some other literary content.

He still has some confidence in this.

But the problem is that Dongying's Zhu Xi's philosophy and the real Neo-Confucianism are inevitably somewhat different, and only the surface is learned. If you want to get a high score, you still need to study hard for a while, but with the foundation of Neo-Confucianism in China, it is not difficult to take these Zhu Xi's studies.

"Brother Mingda, Brother Huaixian, why do you...look so bad?"

As soon as Bai Gui walked into the dormitory, he was a little surprised to see the two people's haggard faces.

"Nonsense, we both secretly studied in the dormitory, and we both asked for leave, and we didn't dare to go out for a walk, otherwise it would be difficult to explain..., it's not good to eat dry food during this period!"

Liu Mingda rolled his eyes and spoke weakly.
