Missy? "

She asked, while waving her hand to disperse the smoke around her, "At that time we all heard people say, 'Miss Shenzi from the Aozora family is the most beautiful person in Edo. The reputation of her is only spread among nobles and artists who are similar to her, but anyone who has seen her, even if it is just a glimpse, will be deeply impressed by her beauty."

"I'm very jealous. Thinking about that time, I was indeed famous in Edo, but an adult who once met your lady told me that I was indeed inferior to her. Why should I be inferior to her? I just came from a bad background , I have built my reputation only by the benefactor's mercy. Your lady will never be like me, who was infected at a very young age. My teacher hopes that I can grow into a flower, a flower that blooms for men .I, since I was born in this place, have been told that I no longer have freedom, but if I want to be happy, I have to give to get it.”

"After Edo was blasted open by the Celestial Beings, the artists also began to re-establish order due to the influx of the Celestial Beings' culture, but the famous Aozora, which was once enshrined in painting art, still stands. The two members of the Aozora Family are now Excellent, Shen Kong is known as the master of classical painting techniques, and she is also a pioneer in the innovation of painting techniques, even the trend of introducing new painting tools from heaven and man in the Edo painting circle was led by her."

She talked a long story, which is actually something I don't pay much attention to, but I also know that the young lady is still an important young painter in the painter circle in Edo.

"It should be said that it is the reputation of an oiran. I also naturally came into contact with several painters in Edo. Compared with a noble beauty like Shen Kong, someone like me who can buy it as long as you pay, actually has more chances to be picked up. The painters were selected into the painting. It seems that because they are in the same circle, some of the painters have seen Shen Kong, and they all praise her appearance."

Although it was still mellow, but when it came to the past, there was a faint sigh in her voice: "That's it, I have accumulated a lot of jealousy and resentment in my heart before I met her. I'm in love. I always thought that if I had the same background as her, I would definitely not be just like her. But I didn't expect that when I really met her, I would feel sympathy."

"That child Qingkong, also because of her background, can't even experience the happiness of many normal people." Her words are a bit like the vulgar lines that often appear in TV dramas, but they are indeed very real feelings. I can see her Pinghu The same eyes flashed with sad eyes.

"This is easy to understand. Think about it, if a person is born to stand in a place where he can overlook the entire Edo, then even if he doesn't want to, he will more or less see the suffering that belongs to this city. On the contrary , if you are destined to sit in Yoshiwara and look at the sky of eternal night like me, then you just need to work hard not to feel sad, the world is beautiful."

With eyes that can see through people's hearts, she conveyed encouraging smiles and inexplicable sighs to me.

"I don't know what kind of family Qing Kong's family is. Shen Kong feels to me that she has no character at all. If she insists on saying that as long as a person should have character, I think she is constantly avoiding and struggling. To describe it, it’s quiet, depressing, and empty. But Qing Kong, who has such a personality, has the same ideals as a man. I heard that she went to the battlefield for a while, and you should have gone with her at that time?"

"Yes." I know this is not an extreme secret. As for why we, who have participated in the war, can still enter and leave the high-class social scene in Edo, and become the guests of Tianren in a grand manner, it all depends on my lady's communication skills.

"It seems that she has really been there," she smiled bitterly, and looked at me apologetically, "Sorry, I always feel that there are some things that I can't ask Shen Kong face to face. Not many, I also heard an adult mention it by chance."

She took a deep breath and continued: "I have a vague feeling that Shen Kong seems to be afraid of something all the time. But I really haven't been able to understand what she is afraid of. She is indifferent to everything, but unexpectedly cares about politics. She may Yes, but she's like I said, almost characterless, and you can't tell from her performance."

"Actually, there are some things I don't want to inquire about. After all... I'm about to die," she kept a decent smile on her face, and closed the clothes on her shoulders with small movements, "I think, now I The only thing I still miss is Shen Kong. And the only one who has been with her is you, a loyal servant. Working among those so-called adults, I have always understood how scary "Xin Mi" is. You must know the secret Many times it is not as difficult as imagined, but once you know it, it means you have to be prepared to bear the burden."

She stared at my heart, with a seemingly eternal smile on her beautiful face restored under the candlelight.

"Actually, I can tell that she was indeed a lovely virgin when she came to see me for the first time, and she was not when she visited me again later."

My heart skipped a beat, and a question came to my mind instantly, so, what happened during the few days when she didn't see my young lady?

"Why such a surprised expression, Xi Chunyu?" She burst out laughing suddenly, the cheerful smile dispelled the heavy topic she just said, "Surprised expression is the ugliest!"

Facing the abnormal behavior of her sudden change in painting style, I was deeply astonished, but I would never admit that it was my fault to show an even more surprised expression.

"Oh my, you guys still don't believe me?" She was right about her age, but she spoke in a charming tone without any pretense, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of childishness.

Well, I admit, compared to Miss Oiran who speaks in a surprised tone but still looks impeccably good-looking, I am indeed uglier.Although, I was originally ugly.

She tilted her head and looked at me again, different from the previous charming, the slightly faster blink rate made me think her cuteness value increased suddenly. "Have I ever been called ugly?" she said.

...It's too much to intentionally create such an effect to show cuteness.

I said to her with a straight face: "You are very beautiful, don't be joking."

"It's because I saw your lady's jade pendant hanging on a man, so I was surprised and lost my temper, and then I was told by that guy that his expression was ugly... Ah, the men who are related to your lady are indeed all Is it too much like you?"

"……what did you say?"

The bottom of my heart was already overwhelmed, and by the way, an even uglier expression appeared on my face.

"What I mean is, it's all caused by your young lady, and I was also said to be ugly."

I half-lidded my eyelids bitterly.I know that Miss never gives away her personal belongings to others, and even the guests who come to visit at home will only get obvious gifts such as calligraphy and paintings.Could it be Takasugi who got Miss's jade pendant?But what is he doing here again?Compared with these speculations, in fact, I still don't believe more in my heart.

"Is that true? But you don't need to do that at all. Maybe it's just a jade pendant that looks very similar. A jade pendant is a small one, so it's possible to misread it."

She poked her neck forward and said, almost in my face, "Guess when I saw that?"

I turned my gaze to the side, but I could still smell her breath, sweet and clean.

"Let me tell you, it was not long after your lady came to my place for the second time. Then guess..." Her eyelashes could almost touch my face, and I felt even more uncomfortable, but Still listening stiffly, "How do I know it's your lady's jade pendant?"

As a normal man, in fact, I have not experienced anything.As the housekeeper of the Qingkong family, I can be regarded as a small and dignified person, and naturally I will have a lot of contact with women, but even if this young lady also respects a friend, I dare not have the slightest desire.

So, so, so, I don't have the guts to look directly at this woman who is still charming even if she is a little bit old.

"Are you distracted? I'm so rude... Let me tell you once and for all. In my line of work, of course you have to study people's clothing. I noticed this pendant the night your lady came to my place for the first time. , she must have often worn it next to her body. But the second time she came, her waist was empty except for the belt. After that, I saw it appearing on a young man's waist. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Clever, clever, clever... Mr. Butler, I feel like I'm about to be looked at and collapsed, and I'm really a little nervous.

[-]. Never make irrelevant predictions

do you know?Maybe it's because I dare not look at you when I look at you, now only the moon knows that I like you very much.

It was almost dawn when I returned to the house, and I was a little overwhelmed by the huge amount of information I received that night. I felt extremely tired, but I was mysteriously pulled aside by Ai Qiufeng just after entering the door.

Yes, you are smart, you remember correctly, he is a poet supported by Qing Kong's family, and he is also a poor ghost who claims to have been in love with Miss many years ago.

In the concierge, our great poet stared at me, but with a slightly evasive expression.Impatiently I wanted to flip the table, I was almost sleepy.

"Xi Chunyu, come here..." He insisted on me listening, but when I opened his restless hand, his eyes flashed, and he stood there and whispered, "Someone just came
