The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

If you come to Japan by yourself and want to see geisha, you will probably just go to Gion Geisha Street for a couple of laps to see if you can be lucky enough to meet a few geisha shopping and take a few photos as souvenirs.As a cultural heritage of Japan, geisha are not something ordinary people can afford.

However, the rich and willful President Shen Chengxuan didn't care about money at all. He took everyone familiar with the way and turned into a hidden alley amidst the feasting and feasting. He found a restaurant with the style of the Edo period, and almost occupied the entire restaurant. All the geisha, so that every member of the development team is accompanied by a geisha, even the girls are no exception, in addition, there are a few young maiko who have not yet graduated from the school to play musical instruments, Perform song and dance.These geisha are versatile, and they speak foreign languages, especially English, very well. Some geisha can even speak Chinese. Everyone speaks a mixture of Chinese, English, and Japanese, so there is basically no obstacle to communication.

"So that's what a perfumer looks like." The geisha with exquisite makeup beside Su Xu had just the right amount of surprise on her face, neither appearing impetuous nor hypocritical, "You are really too young , It is really rare to support a brand at your age." He said, holding up the flagon, "Do you need to add a little more?"

"Thank you." Su Xu handed over the wine glass, and asked the geisha to pour him a glass of fruit juice from a Japanese jug painted with cherry blossoms and green leaves. He would not drink alcohol on any occasion unless wine tasting was required on special occasions. "Speaking of it this way It may be presumptuous, but are you really a man?"

"Yes." The geisha bowed her head gracefully, revealing her swan-like neck, "This restaurant is a family business, and my father was once a geisha. If you find it strange, I can change someone to serve you."

"No, I don't mean anything else." Su Xu waved his hand, he had already smelled the masculine smell on the other person, but he really couldn't imagine the appearance of the weak "Yamato Nadeko" in men's clothing, "Uh, There is one more question, you don't need to answer it. This... If there is a male guest who knows your gender, but still makes such a request, will you agree?"

The geisha raised her eyelids slightly, and the red makeup on the corners of her eyes made him look extraordinarily charming. His eyes flickered, and he seemed hesitant to speak. Finally, his cherry-like red lips curled up into a meaningful smile: "As long as you can let the guests Happy."

This geisha looks about 30 years old. The geisha makeup with a little red in the white snow is worn on his face like a mask. Every expression on his face has been carefully trained, revealing an unreal He is very humble and docile, but it doesn't make people feel stiff and false, but when Su Xu looks at his face, he always feels as if he is in a dream that travels through time and space.

"Guests, please try the sashimi." The geisha smiled, "Since just now, you have only eaten one bite of sushi. If you let you go back with an empty stomach, it will be a real sin."

Shen Chengxuan sat at the main seat in the room, and beside him was a young geisha wearing a pink kimono. The geisha was holding a flagon and was silent, but every time Shen Chengxuan drank the wine in the glass, she would quickly make a drink for him. He filled it up, and remained motionless for the rest of the time, as if to melt into the ukiyo-e on the wall behind him.

"Xiao Xu seems to be having a good chat." Shen Chengxuan said softly, and once again drank a glass of sake, rejecting the geisha's move to pour the wine, playing with the wine glass boredly, looking at Shen Jiarui who was sitting beside him, The latter also didn't drink alcohol and didn't talk to the geisha. He just looked at Su Xu from time to time. Once the geisha and Su Xu got too close, his brows would frown together.

Shen Chengxuan observed him with great interest, and finally let out a "huh" laugh, leaned over and patted Shen Jiarui on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, your father is the cleanest person I've ever seen, and , he wouldn’t like that type of man. Don’t you think so?” In the last sentence, he asked the geisha kneeling beside Shen Jiarui in Japanese. The geisha could understand Chinese and smiled like a gentle breeze. Leaning slightly, he said, "Yes."

Shen Jiarui looked sideways at Shen Chengxuan, sneered, and said in French: "Yes, my father is a very clean and responsible person, and he never sleeps with whoever he wants, regardless of gender .”

Shen Chengxuan sighed, and nodded: "It's really not easy. The most difficult thing for a person to do is to restrain one's desires. One's voice is nothing but a struggle against oneself. Your father is successful, hehe, I lost in a mess 20 years ago. So, people, you must be cautious, restrained, and responsible like your father. Otherwise, you will be at a young and frivolous age who thinks you can master everything. , Throw away what you want with your own hands, and when you know what you are after, that thing will never come back.”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said nothing for a long time, and finally leaned over suddenly, pinched the chin of the geisha beside Shen Jiarui with his fingers, lifted her face, looked at her carefully, and asked in Japanese Said: "How old are you?"

"Guest, I'm already 19 years old." The geisha raised her head obediently, lowered her eyes, and replied softly, the honorifics at the end of the sentence were tactful like a warbler's cry.

"Have already become a teacher at the age of 19?" Shen Chengxuan said with some surprise, "It's rare in this day and age."

"Yes, guest." The geisha didn't move, "but I started studying when I was eight years old."

"That's it." Shen Chengxuan let go of his hand, sat back, breathed a long sigh of relief, and motioned to the geisha beside him to continue pouring wine for him, "20 years old is a good age. Girls at this time have just grown up. It is not very childish to say that it is naive, but it is not very mature to say that it is mature. It is no longer like in middle school that you will be moved and express your feelings just because of a love letter, but you will be bewitched by the rhetoric of looking forward to the future. Will give everything like a moth to a flame. In fact, this is more dangerous. In middle school, it was teenagers who deceived girls at the same time, but girls of this age are faced with more clever methods and smooth words. , and more ruthless mature men. So, you have to be careful." He raised his chin at the geisha beside Shen Jiarui, "Men are not good things, a well-behaved and gentle girl like you, but Don't believe the hypocrisy of those veterans in the field of love, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you cheat yourself. You must keep your eyes open and find a good man who is also gentle and honest, just like that gentleman." He pointed Pointing to Su Xu, "That kind of man is a reliable man who can satisfy your desire to be a good wife and mother, and a man like me," he pointed to himself, "must stay far away. .”

The geisha covered a chuckle with her fingers, and said, "Guests, don't underestimate yourself. After all, true love is like a rose with thorns, which always hurts the person who owns it. Therefore, true love in the world will mostly be due to The hurt is constantly missed, and the beginning and the end are less than one in ten, which is why love is so precious and people yearn for it.”

Hearing this, Shen Jiarui sneered, and looked at Shen Chengxuan with cold eyes. The latter curled his lips, then stopped looking at him, and waved to the geisha who spoke just now, saying: "You are quite good at talking. Sit down and chat with me." After the geisha exchanged places with the geisha Shen Chengxuan had ordered before, Shen Chengxuan immediately grabbed the geisha's hand and began to stroke it, leaning close to her ear and whispering something.This restaurant is not a custom shop in Kabukicho. It claims that geisha are just drinking and chatting, and do not provide other services. It’s just that sometimes the principle of such things is just a matter of price. Businesses that pay well are turned away.

It is a smart way to retreat.Shen Jiarui sneered in his heart.It's a pity that He Yuanjing is already dead, otherwise if he is still alive, Shen Chengxuan will start from her, even if Shen Jiarui doesn't want to, he can only follow Shen Chengxuan back to Shen's house, help him deal with Mrs. Shen, and fulfill his mother's wish to enter the family.

Shen Chengxuan knew that his secret history of romantic affairs had long been made public, and the internal strife in the Shen family was no longer a family secret. If he rashly appeared in front of Shen Jiarui at this time, changed his mind, pretended to miss He Yuanjing affectionately, and swore that he would never forget He Yuanjing from the beginning to the end. Loving only her alone will not only fail to awaken Shen Jiarui's affection for him as a father and son, but will have the opposite effect and make him vigilant. He Yuanjing's mother and son suddenly appeared now, coupled with the recent chaotic internal strife within the Shen family, they knew that there was a fraud in it with their toes.So now Shen Chengxuan does not put on a gesture of repenting and turning back as a prodigal son, but only uses the faint sense of sadness in his words and the vague nostalgia for He Yuanjing to test Shen Jiarui.

After all, the nature of father and son, every child abandoned by their parents, no matter how sharp and tough on the surface, still looks forward to family affection in their hearts.Shen Chengxuan wants to draw out Shen Jiarui's resentment and anger towards him, so that these negative emotions will continue to accumulate and finally explode.As long as Shen Jiarui vented out, the two of them could start over.

Shen Jiarui analyzed the thoughts in Shen Chengxuan's mind clearly, sneered in his heart, but showed a patient expression of anger and resentment on his face, turned around and ignored Shen Chengxuan, let the geisha leave, and walked to Su Xu's side, tightly Leaning on his body, hugging his waist, looking sullen.

"What's the matter?" Su Xu glanced at Shen Chengxuan carefully, and hugged his son's shoulder.Shen Jiarui immediately leaned his head on his shoulder and said softly, "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to the hotel."

Seeing that he looked sleepy, Su Xu hurriedly confessed to Shen Cheng, took him away first, and went back to the hotel to rest.
