Chapter one hundred and ninety seventh brothel alien
Along the way, everyone rarely talked to each other to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed. After three days of traveling, they finally entered Hirado Castle.
Sure enough, their team did not attract the attention of the Li family in Hirado Castle at all, and even did not even conduct routine inspections when entering the city, so they arrived at Ishihara's pottery shop in Hirado.
The Ishihara family’s pottery shop is located in Xicheng. Almost all the local indigenous people live here, with few Han people. Ishihara pottery shop is a relatively good house in this area, with three shops and a large yard behind it. It is full of various pottery. Everyone helped Ishihara unload the pottery in the car into the yard, and then went into the house with Ishihara to discuss the rescue of Li Ying.
"We don't know what Miss Li is going on now. You'd better wait for me first. I'll send two people to inquire and see if I can find out some of the situation about Miss Li. After we find out the situation, we will discuss how to save people." Ishihara said.
Ishihara has lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than two years and speaks Chinese fluently.
"How do you plan to arrange someone to inquire about the news tomorrow? Be careful about this and never be alerted by the Li family." Xu Xinsu asked.
"I have thought about this. I will take action myself tomorrow. In my early years, I learned to be a fortune teller who had been a fortune teller for a few days, so I pretended to be a fortune teller and went around the city to see if I could find any clues."
"I'll go with you!" Yu Ren said anxiously.
"I'm afraid it won't work!" Xu Xinsu stopped him. "I guess no one in the Li family doesn't recognize you anymore. As long as you appear in Dongcheng, you will be recognized immediately."
"But if I go differently, how could Mr. Ishihara find clues? He doesn't know Ying'er, and even if he passes by them in person, he may not know!"
Xu Xinsu lowered her head and said nothing. He knew that what Yu Ren said made sense. In his heart, he considered Yu Ren's safety first, but Yu Ren put the rescue of Li Ying first. For this reason, he took risks.
"I have a way. I guarantee that my husband Yu can walk with me and not be recognized by others?"
"What's the solution?" several people asked in unison.
"Don't worry about this. It's guaranteed that people won't recognize Mr. Yu."
That night, Ishihara took Yu Ren to the most prosperous street in Hirado West Castle. Yu Ren then realized that there were several streets in Hirado West Castle that were not less prosperous than the east town, but there were relatively few streets like this than the east town.
It was already the time to light the lights, and Yu Ren found that the street was brightly lit and brightly lit. After a closer look, it turned out that there were mostly brothels and taverns on both sides of the street, no wonder it was so lively.
Ishihara led Yu Ren to a yard that didn't look too big. Ishihara stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a little girl in a toyo kimono opened the door.
"You are here? The girl has been mumbling these days, saying that Ishihara Jun, you haven't been here for a long time?" The little girl was speaking in Chinese. Fortunately, since Yu Ren arrived at Hirado last time, in order to be useful in the future, Toshishi had learned some Japanese from Xu Qian. Although he was not very good at speaking, he could still understand the general daily conversations.
"Do you girls have no guests tonight?"
"It was originally there, but the girl was not feeling very well these days, so she pushed her off." The little girl said while leading the way in front.
"Girl, Ishihara is here."
The door of the inner room opened in response to the sound, and a woman in her twenties walked out from inside. The woman was very gorgeous, with a light red makeup on her face, a little messy hair on her temples on her head, and a bad face. She was indeed a bit sick.
When Ishihara saw this woman, she hurriedly went up to meet her. "Kyoko!"
When Kyoko saw Ishihara, tears flashed in her eyes, but she did not move forward, but turned around and went into the house.
Ishihara quickly chased after him in two steps, and then gently closed the door. Yu Ren stood aside and was very embarrassed. He didn't understand why Ishihara brought him to such a place, and judging from their expressions, they should be old friends.
This woman named Kyoko is obviously a singing girl. The most annoying thing is that Ishihara actually left behind the serious business and brought him to the kiln at such a time. But Yu Ren was a calm person. Although he was angry, he was not angry.
The little girl next to her was about to lead Yu Ren to the room next to her for tea when she saw a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup twisting her waist and walking over. She also exaggeratedly, "Ah! It's such a handsome young man to come here, it's such a great honor!
Meijin, how can you, a girl, be so sluggish about customers? Why don’t you take the guests into the house to offer tea?"
This person is obviously the mother in this yard. Although Yu Ren had never entered a brothel after the Ming Dynasty, such scenes were common on TV in the past.
The mother said while leading Yu Ren into the house.
"Does my little husband come to listen to music, or do you want to find a girl to drink?" the mother said enthusiastically.
Although Yu Ren understood this mother's words, he was too bad in Japanese. He thought for a long time before he stammeringly said, "I, I am Ishihara's friend, I came with him."
The smile on his face became a little stiff when he heard this. He just said "Oh!" and got up and left.
It turned out that Ishihara Kuji and this Kyoko girl have loved each other since they met three years ago. At that time, Ishihara wanted to redeem Kyoko, but her mother offered a sky-high price of 5,000 taels, which forced Ishihara to temporarily give up the idea of redeem Kyoko.
However, the two met each other, and Ishihara often came here. At first, his mother also liked it. Anyway, she opened the door to do business, and she was naturally happy if there were customers coming to her. However, this kind of place was really a consumption-making cave. In less than half a year, Ishihara spent more than 2,000 taels here, which was his family's income for one or two years.
After hearing about this, Mrs. Ishihara personally rushed to Hirado from Kashima and pulled Ishihara back. Since Ishihara's original wife was met when he was poor and humble in his early years, Ishihara respected his wife very much and was still a little afraid of her. Since she was pulled away by her wife, Ishihara rarely came to Hirado again.
After that, Kyoko began to often refuse to accept customers on the grounds of being unfit. Her mother knew it was because of Ishihara, but she had no choice.
Now that he heard Yu Ren say that he was Ishihara's friend, the mother stood up, turned around and went elsewhere, and no longer cared about him.
Yu Ren waited in the room for a while, and then saw Ishihara coming from the next door.
"I'm so sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's okay!" Yu Ren said politely, but in fact he was secretly wondering what purpose Ishihara brought her here to make her old lover. It seemed that there was no connection with him about asking for news about Li Ying tomorrow.
"My little husband must have blamed me in his heart!"
"I dare not!" Yu Ren said.
Ishihara smiled, "It's okay. It's right to complain. Who told me not to explain it to my little husband in advance! In fact, I brought my little husband to Kyoko today not just because I wanted to see her, but because there was another more important reason."
Speaking of this, Ishihara picked up the tea delivered by the little girl Miaki from the table and took a sip.
"Others only think that Kyoko is a singing girl, but few people know that she actually has a unique skill: she is good at painting makeup for others."
"I didn't know about this at first. But once when I came to Kyoko, my wife came to check my whereabouts. Kyoko painted me in another way and asked my wife to walk past me, but she didn't recognize me."
"Really! Such a good thing?" Yu Ren was overjoyed.
"We will know whether it is good or bad, let's try it right away. I've already told Kyoko that she has promised to change your makeup."
After saying that, Ishihara led Yu Ren to Kyoko's room. Kyoko solemnly gave Yu Quan a gift, and Yu Ren hurriedly returned the gift. Then Kyoko asked Yu Ren to sit down in front of her dressing table and began to carefully observe Yu Ren's face.
"The little husband is so handsome. If you want to dress up as a fortune teller's little disciple, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable! Don't bother me at that time." Kyoko said while looking at Yu Ren's face.
