Yumenglou

Guests, the proprietress over there also called us back. "

"That's it." Why was he a little nervous just now?Chiyo was silent for a while, and said: "I really want to go there too, although there are such beautiful cherry blossoms on the side of the store, but I heard that the cherry blossoms on the other side of the mountain are quite magnificent, like a dream... That's what Gezi said, but I haven't seen it either."

"How can I ask you to go there as an accompanying drinker? Of course, I have to stay in the restaurant to be the first dancer or waiter. My sister will be the oiran of Yumenglou one day, and it's possible to take over the store someday! "Qianhui said, seeing Qiandai blushing and looking like she was about to defend herself, she said, "Isn't that what everyone says? The first dance has already been completed so beautifully."

"..." Chiyo was a little embarrassed for a while, "I think Qianhui's dancing is also very good, and she can be an oiran in the future. This time, there are customers who like you very much and ask you to stay."

"What's that, that weird guy!" Qian Hui sneered, "The samurai from Kyoto had such a large group last time, I didn't expect to see more at the restaurant this time! It looks like hundreds of people! Why come here, it looks scary, although they are not bad."

"Of course it is to accompany the master from Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Where is the master, these samurai have to follow." Chiyo said.

"What kind of master? I like cherry blossoms so much?" Qianhui asked curiously.It's unbelievable that hundreds of people would travel all the way to Liutiao City just to see a single cherry blossom.

"It's probably a young young master or young lady. People like us can't even see such a tallest master."

"Young young master and miss..." Qian Hui thought deeply, but shook her head again, "I can't imagine, that must be a very happy person."

"Eh? Why." You can't even imagine their lives, how do you think they are happier?Chiyo was suddenly a little angry, but thought again, what is happiness, this kind of question has never been thought of by herself.When did Qianhui start thinking about such a question?

"Because I always feel that they are self-willed, and they are very popular with those subordinates, so they can always do what they want... I don't know." Qianhui's confused face gradually showed a smile, and she yawned , "I want to sleep, I'm really busy this afternoon, good night." As he spoke, he took off his kimono and fell asleep next to Chiyo.

"Good night. I'm tired too." Chiyo pulled the quilt, and saw Chiyo's peaceful sleeping face and gentle side face under the candlelight, the faint shadows swaying gently, projected on her long hair flowing on the pillow like water waves post.Ah, such a beautiful Qianhui must be the kind of beauty that people say is like a fish or a wild goose.As if it was just yesterday, when the days of fleeing were not over, the two of them were just orphans with ragged clothes and disheveled faces on the street. Who would have expected that only a few years later, the two would become well-known famous prostitutes in Liutiao City? Where are the sisters?No matter how much the day-to-day joyful songs come from sincerity, as long as Qian Hui has a smile on her face, she will be a unparalleled beauty in the world.As long as it makes you happy, I will stick to it no matter what.You are the meaning of my life.Chiyo thought silently, brushed Qianhui's hair lightly, and lay down beside her.

Another busy day.There were nominations from guests early in the morning, and Qianhui has been busy with several important banquets recently, so she set off for the restaurant in the mountain area before Chiyo woke up.After a rare good night's sleep, Chiyo took a leisurely morning walk to the courtyard.In the morning when the business was relatively light, there were not many cars and horses passing by, and only one room was heard where the luthier was playing the Sanxian slowly. Amidst the slow and melodious sound of the piano, the maids began to clean for the day.Chiyo, who had nothing to do, leaned on the window sill on the second floor and looked downstairs, watching the paper umbrellas of various colors floating and disappearing at the end of the street, and the sedan chairs of wealthy families passing by slowly passing by. I also thought of going to the mountain where Qianhui worked.In this busy world, everyone is moving towards a fixed destination.What kind of work is she doing? "Recently, there are really many people going to see the cherry blossoms." A voice sounded from behind.Turning around suddenly, what I saw was Gezi leaning on the railing and smoking a cigarette.

"I want to go too. Now Qianhui can see the cherry blossoms every day." Chiyo said with her chin propped up.

Gezi laughed, "I'm afraid it's not just cherry blossoms, but this is a beauty that is more dazzling than cherry blossoms. The flowers are blooming—"

"What do you mean?" Chiyo glared at Utako.

"Do you know? Recently, a samurai named Qianhui." Gezi narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly.

"What's so strange about this, isn't it that customers have always named Qianhui? Qianhui has not been in the store, so I can't respond to them." Qianhui said immediately.

"Huh? What about the same person?" Utako stared at Chiyo and said.

"!" Chiyo was a little surprised, but then immediately replied: "That's not surprising, regular customers are not usually like this." Although he said so, the aftermath in his heart still couldn't be dispelled.Qian Hui, who seldom dances in front of guests, besides her outstanding looks, is actually just a geisha serving drinks, how could she have regular customers?If there is, there should be a lot of extra income every month... If there is, why hasn't it been mentioned to me?

"There is a samurai from Kanda's family in Kyoto. He came to the store several times and named the child. The last time the luthier actually told me that the man asked: 'Is she back yet?' Isn't it very interesting? There is a husband at such a young age I have to sacrifice to her." Gezi sighed, "I didn't encounter such a good thing when I was young."

"... Kanda... ah" Chiyo said in a daze, "ah, it's the family that came to the store to hold a banquet at the beginning of the month."

"Yeah, you danced the first dance, and you definitely stole the limelight!" Gezi nodded happily at Chiyo, "Surely you have attracted a lot of nominations, right? I heard that Mr. Sakai has sent someone to pick you up." Have you been to the house several times in the past? Tell me, it must mean that, right? Chiyo?"

"Ah..." Chiyo felt a little annoyed for some reason.If this is the case, then why did Qian Hui hide it from herself?She knew that someone was naming her, so why didn't she come back to our shop?Or was she actually responding to that person all the time when I wasn't around?

"I said you should also take a little bit of light. This is a good thing that only makes money. Although this kind of once-a-year business is not much to look forward to, it can still make a good fortune once. After all, women are young. A few years, when I am a big age, I can only die in this Yumenglou! If you are like you, if you try harder, you may be taken back to Kyoto by that adult What!" Gezi babbled, with an excited look on his face.

However, Chiyo was even more disturbed because she couldn't answer the conversation. She only felt hot and cold. She just said to Gezi, "I'm a little tired, go back to the house and sit down" and left first.Back in the empty room, Chiyo searched for something he didn't know what it was, and finally buried his head deeply on the pillow.The only thing I can feel is that I am calling Qianhui strongly from my heart at this moment.

It has been half a month since I was transferred by the proprietress to be a helper in the kiosk.Compared with the work in the shop, Qianhui felt that the work in the kiosk was much easier.Now I only work during the day, and in the evening, I will have a car to pick me up with my geisha, so I can rest early at night.Even if it is a daytime job, it is purely to accompany drinks, and there will be no guests to name or pester me. After all, this is a kiosk rather than a store.The work of serving wine has long been the best thing I have done. I am ashamed to say that this is actually the most basic thing in the geisha profession.In contrast, although my sister who joined the industry at the same time was only one year older than me, she was already carefully cultivated as a promising oiran. She performed dances at the banquet early on. The first dance at the beginning of the month was even more exquisite, and she did not disappoint the team leader. And the expectations of the proprietress.Even so, I can support myself with this little ability, and I can work as a geisha with my sister in the new home in the six cities - Yumenglou, I already feel very satisfied.So when I was transferred, I didn't complain at all, and I just worked from morning to night.Sometimes when I go back, I will see my sister, who is obviously so tired that she is about to fall asleep. I think it is harder than myself, so how can I not work hard.

Every day, all the samurai of the famous clan are received, except for the Kanda family who served in the store at that time, only now does Qianhui know that there are so many other families here for cherry blossom viewing gatherings.Those magnificent chariots and horses shuttled back and forth, the neat and tidy warriors, as well as those noble ladies and young young masters in fine clothes, just looking at them from a distance made Qian Hui's heart agitated.The distinctive noble aura they carry is what makes people yearn and favor them—ah, they must be people from Kyoto.Only people from Kyoto are worthy of enjoying the beautiful cherry blossoms here, Qian Hui thought to herself.

During the annual Spring Appreciation Season, I am lucky to be able to see this beautiful scenery that is only for the nobles to appreciate by chance.It's a pity that my sister can't come.Every time when Qian Hui sits on the stone steps at the entrance of the restaurant and looks up at the pink cherry forest like flowing clouds in the distance, she thinks so in her heart.In fact, I also want to tell you what I have seen and heard here, but I can't describe such a touching beauty no matter what.
