How could he let such a great opportunity to show his face in front of Qingdeng easily and, if he was lucky, even make Qingdeng remember him? How could he let it slip through his fingertips?

After being given the opportunity by Neng Shiliangbi, the others immediately rushed to say:

"Speaking of this Miss Ziyang, we are already familiar with her!"

"Ms. Ziyo is the top geisha at the Gion Hyakuhana House!"

"In addition to her stunning appearance, her singing and dancing skills are even more proficient!"

"Two years ago - that is, the day she made her debut at the age of 16, all the flowers and wild flowers in Kyoto dimmed!"

"Looking at the whole of Gion... no! Looking at the whole of Gyeonggi, there is no geisha who can compare with her!"

"Truly the number one geisha in Kyoto, the number one beauty in Kyoto!"

"In front of her, Shimabara's oiran is no more than that!"

"Hehehe, it's a pity that Miss Ziyang only sells her art and not her body. Otherwise, if I could spend a night with her, then..."

This guy, who felt deeply sorry for Ziyang's refusal to sell himself, was just halfway through his words when he was poked hard with his elbow by the person next to him.

No matter what, matters concerning the lower body are not on the table.

It would be too vulgar to mention words such as "selling oneself" and "spring night" in this kind of situation.

After being reminded by the person next to him, the guy reacted immediately and quickly tightened his lips and stopped talking.

Qingdeng blinked, silently digesting the huge amount of information he had just received.

Although what these people said was very complicated and fragmentary, he finally understood it - the most beautiful woman in Kyoto in their mouth was an 18-year-old who only did business but not her body, and was the current president of Gion. The top geisha: Miss Ziyang.

Before even meeting the person, Qingdeng had already used the information he knew so far to automatically create in his mind a beautiful figure with beautiful appearance, elegant manners, melodious singing and graceful dancing.

At this moment, someone suddenly said to Qingnobo and Matsudaira Yongho in an excited tone:

"Tachibana-sama, Higo-sama, it's not too late now, let's invite Miss Ziyang to come over and join in the fun!"

In the blink of an eye, echoes arose:

"Yes, yes! Tachibana-sama, Higo-sama, without the help of geisha, the taste of this food will be much duller!"

"As expected, we still have to hire a geisha!"

"I just take this opportunity to let all the Shinsengumi adults see with your own eyes the elegance of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto!"

…

One after another, expectant eyes fell on Qingden and Matsudaira Yongho.

Seeing the public opinion like this, Matsudaira Rongbao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Well... it is not in line with the shogunate's etiquette to invite geisha to entertain at such a serious banquet..."

Although he said this, the strong "demand" for geishas still made his expression full of hesitation.

"...Tachibana-sama, what do you think?"

He kicked the ball to Qing Deng.

"..."

Qingdeng didn't dare to answer the call.

I saw him with his head drooped, looking at his nose and heart, looking like he didn't even dare to express his anger.

It is said that Qingto is still very interested in this so-called most beautiful woman in Kyoto.

Of course! This is not because Qingdeng is lustful or anything, it is entirely out of the purest curiosity!

There is such a woman whose beauty is unanimously recognized by everyone and is praised as "the most beautiful woman in Kyoto"... Everyone would want to see how beautiful she is with their own eyes, right? Right? Right?

If possible, he wouldn't mind being driven by this atmosphere and shouting: "Okay, then let's invite Miss Ziyang to join in the fun!"

However... this sentence was like a fish bone, stuck in his throat, preventing him from spitting out even a syllable.

As for why this is so... the reason is quite simple.

Just now, when he asked out of curiosity, "The most beautiful woman in Kyoto? Who is she?", he suddenly felt three sharp eyes focused on him.

Who are the owners of these three lines of sight... It is self-evident.

At that moment, Qingdeng realized deeply what a big mistake he had made.

Sanako, Mai Kinoshita and Souji were all present!

In front of them, curiosity about the most beautiful woman in Kyoto was revealed... This was basically Wu Dalang drinking giraffe milk - jumping high!

Such a scene, such a situation... it is clear at a glance what to do next!

"...It's better to skip it."

Qingdeng took a deep breath, raised his head, and straightened his face, looking like an upright gentleman.

"We will be stationed in Kyoto for only four days."

"It is really inappropriate to play around with geishas in such a big way before you have achieved outstanding achievements."

"Let's all have a good time eating food and drinking wine tonight."

"We will live in Kyoto for a long time anyway."

"If you want to have fun, you can leave it until later."

Qingdeng's statement naturally made the atmosphere at the scene stagnant.

But who would have thought that as his words fell, Neng Shiliangbi and others had not yet responded. Instead, something happened on their own side:

"Ju, this is wrong!"

Hijikata Toshizo straightened his back, looked solemn, and had an extremely serious expression.

He continued the words word for word:

“Kyoto is the birthplace of geisha!”

"Geisha herself has become an important treasure that is inseparable from Kyoto!"

"We are all descendants of Guandong, and we don't know much about everything above."

“Getting to know Kyoto more fully by getting along with geishas – I don’t think that’s a bad thing!”

Although Hijikata Toshizo spoke clearly and logically, as if he was expounding some worldly truth, anyone could tell that he was completely talking nonsense! The preface and the follower were completely inconsistent!

Does playing with geishas have anything to do with your understanding of Kyoto?

However, Ainoto understood what Hijikata Tobizo wanted to express: I want a geisha! I want to watch a geisha's performance! Hurry up!

With him taking the lead, the others began to express their opinions.

"Well... um... Mr. Tachibana, I think... it would be good to invite geisha to join in the fun."

Nagakura Shinpachi said this.

"That's right! Mr. Tachibana! How boring it is to just eat food and drink wine like this!"

Harada Sanosuke patted his thigh, his expression full of impatience.

Tu, Yong, and Yuan's eyes converged and fell on Qingdeng.

Their eyes were so intense that they seemed to set Qingdeng's clothes on fire at any moment.

I'm afraid there are no more lecherous people in the entire imperial examination hall than these three brothers. When they were in Edo, they had always been Yoshiwara's regular customers.

Therefore, it was not surprising to Qingdeng that they said such words.

Qingdeng twitched the corner of his mouth, then swept his eyes to observe the entire scene.

Looking at it, in addition to the cold-looking Saito Kazuo, the pure Shannan Keisuke and the three girls, such as Kondo Isamu, Todo Heisuke, Serizawa Kamo and others, although they are not like the "prostitute trio"

She blatantly expressed her strong desire for a geisha, but she basically looked like "She is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto... I really want to meet her".

Such an attitude of the Shinsengumi generals certainly made Nose Ryōbi and others more motivated.

Suddenly, voices calling for geishas were heard again.

Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel helpless.

To be fair, such a trivial matter is not worthy of Qingdeng going against the public opinion.

But if he obeys the public opinion, everyone can have fun, but he himself may face serious consequences in the future... Ah, no, correction, it will be a disastrous consequence...

Just when he was in trouble... the "little cotton-padded jacket" who never let him down took action.

The Souji blinked his beautiful eyes a few times, looked at Qingden, and then looked at his companions beside him.

Suddenly, she heard a "pop" sound, and she clapped her hands vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"I think Mr. Hijikata is right! I have long wanted to see the famous Kyoto geisha with my own eyes! Miss Kinoshita, what do you think?"

As she said that, she turned to look at Mai Kinoshita who was sitting on her right - the three girls were sitting side by side, Souji was sitting in the middle, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita were sitting on her left and right respectively.

Her abrupt question caused the eyes that had gathered because of her sudden voice to shift to Kinoshita Mai.

Kinoshita Mai was stunned for a moment, and then she was in a hurry, her eyes were wandering, her speech was unclear, and she mumbled vaguely:
To be continued...
