I formed the strongest swordsman group

When the 32 geishas entered the banquet hall, they immediately lined up on both sides and knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the door, with their heads lowered and their ears lowered.

That expression of reverence was like that of the most sincere and loyal servant.

This humble gesture seemed to be welcoming their emperor!

Swish...swish...swish...swish...

The soft sound of clothes hems brushing against the tatami came from the direction of the corridor.

The person who takes the stage must be the most famous character - this is a truth that even a 6-year-old child knows.

[Note: The finale is the second to last appearance, and the stage is the last to appear]

As a result, all the banquet guests here cheered up, turned their heads, stared at the open door, and stood tall.

The "prostitute trio" widened their eyes even more, without even blinking, as if they were afraid of missing every scene and scene that followed.

Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Souji all glanced at the door, their beautiful eyes flashing with curiosity - they were also very touched by this renowned beauty in Kyoto. curious.

Under everyone's eager anticipation, finally - a graceful figure with a calm and charming aura broke into everyone's field of vision.

A young girl dressed in green walked into the banquet hall with her feet sticking to the ground.

Nana is so graceful and graceful.

In an instant, the whole place fell silent.

Qingdeng was not the only one who was stunned.

Those whispers, those murmurs of changing cups and cups, and those patchy breathing sounds all stopped.

Dozens of glances, the attention of the banquet guests, and the minds of everyone were all snatched away by this girl in green!

In this silence, the girl in green came to the center of the banquet hall.

She knelt down, supported the ground with three fingers, lowered her head, and bowed to Qingden and Songping Yongbao who were sitting on the main seat. Both her posture and movements were extremely standard, and there was no flaw in them.

"Ziyang of the slave family, I would like to pay my respects to the two adults."

The soft and long Jingyan leaves are reminiscent of soft cotton.

Because the collar of the girl in green's kimono was slightly open, when she knelt down and assumed a humble and submissive posture, the entire back of her neck and less than half of her lower back and spine were exposed to Qingto's eyes.

Most of the skin on her neck was painted with snow-like white powder. Only a part of the back of the neck was not powdered and retained its original flesh color - this is the classic look of a wandering girl and a geisha.

In the Edo period when "back neck control" was very popular, this look of "painting the face and neck a very white color, but deliberately leaving part of the skin on the back of the neck white so as to retain the true color of the body" was considered to be rich in lust, The most attractive makeup look for men.

In Japanese, there is even a word specifically used to describe the back of a woman’s neck, called うなじ, which sounds the same as unaji. Its original meaning refers to the part of the back of the neck that is slightly exposed when bending down and bowing.

Matsudaira Yongho smiled slightly:

"I have heard for a long time that she is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. When I see her today, she is really extraordinary. Get up."

"Thank you, sir."

Looking at the girl in green clothes who was getting up, Qingdeng thought to himself:

——She...is 'Miss Ziyang'?

Qingdeng was convinced at just one glance: the girl in green was the famous and most beautiful woman in Kyoto - Miss Ziyang!

Not just because she appeared last, but also because of her face.

When Zi Yang appeared, the whole place was silent because everyone was shocked by his beauty.

It would be really unreasonable for a beauty of this level not to have titles such as "first" and "most beautiful"!

Because he was just in a daze and didn't have time to look at him in detail, at this moment, Qingdeng, who had regained consciousness, silently swept his eyes and looked at the other person carefully from head to toe.

The first thing that caught his attention was her long black hair.

The rich, soft and shiny hair is neatly combed, pulled back tightly at the top, and the temples are coiled into a bun. Viewed from the front, the hair is styled into a peach-shaped "peach cut" bun.

The flower bun on the head of a geisha has a specific style every month.

It's February, and the flower buns they wear are naturally the plum blossom buns that represent February.

With every step she takes and every big movement of her delicate body, the sparkling delicate ornaments on the flower bun will vibrate, making a sweet and crisp sound of "ding bells".

Underneath the clear and handsome willow eyebrows are the deep eye socket lines, the clear black and white eyes and the straight bridge of the nose. The red lips look particularly delicate against the high-quality lipstick.

The skin is like gelatin and can be broken by blowing a bomb... These old-fashioned idioms are not enough to describe the whiteness and tenderness of her skin.

Geishas and wandering girls in the Edo period always used special white powder to paint their faces and necks white. At first glance, they looked particularly scary and almost caused the "uncanny valley effect".

But in fact, there are very practical reasons why this kind of makeup is popular in Huajie and Youkuo.

Lighting conditions were poor during the Edo period.

Indoor lighting facilities are nothing more than oil lamps and candles, the brightness of which cannot be compared with modern spotlights.

In addition to insufficient brightness, the light emitted by oil lamps and candles is dim, which will make people's skin very dull and look particularly ugly.

Performing with such an appearance will only scare the guests away.

If you want to eliminate the negative effects of poor quality lighting, the simplest and most effective way is to paint your face very white.

Therefore, Zi Yang, whose face is painted just right, under the dim candlelight, not only does not make people feel ugly or scary, but also makes people feel suitable and beautiful.

In addition to her beautiful face, icy muscles and jade bones, her clothes are even more eye-catching.

As the saying goes, "A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle."

Geishas and wandering girls who relied on attracting men to eat were considered models, celebrities, and the best at dressing up during the Edo period.

The origins of popular hairstyles such as the Maru bun, Katsuyama bun, and Hyogo bun can be traced back to the geishas and wandering girls who once dominated the scene.

It is no exaggeration to say that every time those popular geishas and traveling girls change their clothes and hairstyles, they will trigger new fashion trends and attract thousands of women to imitate them.

I don’t know if it’s because of her status as “Gion’s top geisha” that she is qualified to wear high-end clothes. Zi Yang’s appearance is extremely elegant and gorgeous.

The gorgeous green furisode embroidered with bamboo leaves, the very lively and vital goose yellow belt, and the light blue sash hanging behind the back.

Underneath the ankle-length clothes, there are a pair of bare feet with plump insteps and toes as crystal clear as white jade. The toenails are neatly trimmed. Not only are they very white and tender, but there is no trace of dead skin. They are really beautiful! It makes people strongly doubt whether she walks on these little feet.

Otherwise, how could a pair of feet that are often used for walking be so delicate and attractive?

In a word - this is a stunning beauty who is not inferior even to Sanako and Tenzouin!

Qingdeng finally understood why Nengshi Liangbi and others admired Ziyang so much.

On her body. Idioms such as "water lotus" and "natural beauty" have been best interpreted.

The 32 geishas who had entered before, were kneeling on both sides of the banquet hall, and were still greeting Ziyang, were all severely compared to each other.

In front of her, these were just pretty women, not worth mentioning.

However, although the most beautiful woman in Kyoto is stunning, in the eyes of Ayoto, the most beautiful woman in Edo is still better.

He even thinks Tenzouin, Kinoshita Mai and Souji are more beautiful than Ziyang!

On the one hand, it’s because of Aiya and Karasuta that Aoto always has a special filter when looking at Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Souji.

On the other hand, it is due to personal preference.

I saw that Ziyang's chest was straight and straight, as if it had been stuffed with an iron plate, without any curvature at all.

Although women's kimono has the function of concealing the figure, after wearing it, B becomes A, C becomes B, and D becomes C.

But on the other hand, as long as the "scale" is large enough, a mere piece of clothing cannot restrain you at all.

This is the case for Sanako, Tenjoin and Kinoshita Mai - as for Souji, Aoto has never seen her wearing women's clothes, so let's leave it aside for now.

They are all turbulent people. Even if they wear the best-fitting kimono, their flaming presence is still as strong as a black hole, enough to attract everyone's attention.

Not only do they make the kimono skirts full and rounded, but because the southern hemisphere is placed on the belt, it makes it even more sexy.

[Note: The obi of women’s kimonos is very wide and covers the entire belly, so Sanako and others do not hang down to their waists]

On the other hand, Ziyang - big A, special A.

Qingto felt that if he wore a women's kimono, the lines on his chest might be more conspicuous than Ziyang's.

It is conceivable that her "scale" must not be very good.

Qingdeng never considered himself a big breasts fan - he just had a strong interest in big breasts!

At this time, Matsudaira Yongho spoke again beside him, bringing Qingto's thoughts back to reality.

"Miss Ziyang, please dance and let us appreciate the unparalleled beauty of Gion's top geisha!"

Ziyang smiled sweetly.

"Higo-sama, the slave family is truly undeserved for your high praise! Sir, please rest assured! No matter what kind of banquet or occasion, as long as the music sounds, the slave family will go all out! Never! Make the guests return disappointed!"

…

…

Ziyang holds a paper fan and stands in the center of the banquet hall.

A person holding a shamisen sat upright behind her.

"Location" refers to the women in gebuki who are responsible for playing the shamisen and singing songs. They don’t comb their hair in buns, don’t apply heavy makeup, and wear simple kimonos.

According to Zi Yang, the dance she will perform next is the most representative and classic geisha dance in Gion: "Gion Minor".

Zi Yang, who was well prepared, turned his head sideways and glanced at the place behind him.

Fang nodded in response, then flipped the plectrum in his right hand, lightly strummed the strings, and the sound of music immediately sounded.

The light and comfortable melody spreads out soothingly and melodiously, just like flowing clouds and flowing water.

This local's piano skills are quite superb. Under her skillful plucking, the beautiful notes wandered and lingered in the banquet hall, like large and small crystal beads falling into a jade plate, like the ding-dong making. The loud gurgling stream.

Zi Yang catered to the sound of music, swaying her waist and dancing gracefully.

In an instant, after Ziyang appeared, the breathing of the whole audience stopped again.

Aoto is no stranger to geisha dance.

He had seen geisha perform many times before in various occasions such as high-end restaurants in Edo and private banquets of certain dignitaries.

To be fair, he didn't really like geisha singing and dancing.

In his opinion, the geisha's singing and dancing performances were too soothing and too slow-paced. Watching them too much would make him want to sleep. It was not until this moment that his thoughts completely changed.

Aoto... no, all the guests present, including Sanako, Mai Kinoshita, and Souji, all stared at the dancing Zi Yang with breathless concentration, without even blinking... or in other words, they forgot to blink.

What kind of dance is this?

It looks like fluttering ribbons!

It looks like a whirling Luan bird!

The slender waist seemed to be broken at a moment's notice, twisting as lightly as a water snake. Even when wearing thick clothes, one could clearly feel the fleshiness and softness of its waist.

The paper fan in her right hand flew up and down dexterously, as if it would transform into a gorgeous butterfly at any time, fluttering its wings wildly.

The exquisite little feet stepped lightly on the tatami, and the delicate white soles of the feet were looming.

The warm breath of youth brushed across Qingdeng's face.

Her light and graceful dance has a pure, friendly, pleasing, and at the same time elusive charm.

It makes people feel like they are on a beautiful river bank with beautiful sunshine and flowers. Surrounded by flowers, a beautiful and pure girl expounds her understanding of music and her feelings about beauty enthusiastically but still gently. .

Even Qingdeng, who had watched countless songs and dances, couldn't help but be distracted by this indescribably perfect dance.

Vision, hearing, smell... all the senses in the body, all of which are concentrated on Zi Yang's body, on this beautiful woman who seems to be a dancing fairy descending to earth.

It wasn't until Ziyang finished dancing that his five senses returned to his body and he "gained" control of his body.

After dancing a song, Ziyang's breath was still stable.

She lowered her body and saluted around her in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"This servant has made a fool of himself."

After the words fell, silence fell inside and outside the banquet hall, and the whole place was quiet.

About five seconds later, a wave of warm applause came overwhelmingly towards Ziyang.

Ziyang smiled slightly and gave another salute.

…

…

With the company of geishas, ​​the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became completely different.

After performing many talents including singing, playing, dancing, etc., all the geishas including Ziyang spread out to accompany each guest.

This is one of the services of a geisha.

In addition to performing songs and dances for the guests, geishas are also responsible for drinking and talking with the guests, and playing zashiki games with the guests.

So, looking at everyone in the audience, who is qualified to be accompanied by Ziyang?

The answer to this question is naturally obvious at a glance.

"Master Tachibana, I have admired your name for a long time! I admire you very much! I have always wanted to see you in person! Today I finally got my wish!"

Ziyang said this in an excited and excited tone while pouring wine for Qingdeng.

Her wine-pouring skills are perfect.

Her eyes kept falling on Qingdeng, without even glancing at the wine bottle in her hand.

This was obviously the case, but her hands holding the wine bottle were extremely steady. The wine was like a trickle, drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air and falling steadily into the cup without any spillage.

"Your heroic deeds in defeating the barbarian group and eradicating the Qingshui clan really inspire me!"

Ziyang was surprisingly talkative.

Different from the fairy spirit when dancing just now, as if falling from the heaven to the mortal world, Ziyang, who is accompanying Qingdeng at this time, has an easy-going smile on his face, and an approachable look on his cheeks. Yanye still smiles beautifully.

Qingdeng smiled and said modestly:

"Miss Ziyang, I just did what I should do."

After that, he took a sip of his drink and asked casually:

"'Ziyang'...this flower name is really good. Did you choose it yourself?"

"um, yes!"

"Why did you choose such a name? Do you like hydrangeas very much?"

In Japan, "Ziya" is the name of the flower. Hydrangea is also called hydrangea.

Zi Yang shook his head gently.

"No, the reason is not complicated. It's just because my real name is related to hydrangea, so I took 'Purple Sun' as the flower name."

"Oh? May I ask what your real name is?"

Ziyang blinked her beautiful eyes and showed a playful expression.

"Tachibana-sama, it is very rude to ask a geisha her real name."

Qingdeng laughed dumbly.

"Sorry, I'm rude. I don't often interact with geishas, ​​so I'm not familiar with your rules."

"Master Tachibana, do you rarely go to Flower Street?"

"Well, for some reasons that I cannot explain in detail, I have always stayed away from romantic places such as Flower Street and Youkuo."

"That's it...that's such a pity..."

Ziyang flattened her red lips, with a confused look on her face.

"I also hope to have more interactions with the man I admire in the future..."

As she spoke, her little hands climbed up to Qingdeng's waist, gently caressing and occasionally pinching.

At the same time, she narrowed her eyes, her eyes as charming as silk.
