Brother Xun refused.

The reason was that he had something else to do recently, but he didn't say anything specific about it.

Bai Gui is not easy to find out.

However, this result was within his expectation. When he invited Brother Xun to go with him at the dance hall, he had already shown a look of rejection, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Please invite me again now, the relationship is much more familiar, and some harsh words of refusal can also be spoken.

…

Kyoto is also called Xijing by the Japanese, which is opposite to Tokyo. It is about 350 kilometers from Tokyo to Xijing and takes about 11 hours by train.

However, this was already very fast compared to a few decades ago. At the end of the shogunate period, it took half a month to travel from Edo to Kyoto using a horse-drawn cart.

Railway carriages are divided into three classes, upper class, medium class and lower class, with different prices.

This time, it was not the embassy that booked the tickets, but Bai Gui’s private booking. Naturally, he would not wrong himself and book third-class tickets. The crowd of third-class tickets was mixed and noisy, especially if he sat for a long time, which was even more uncomfortable.

In the first-class carriage, it was also the first time he saw treasure pills among the goods sold by the waiter.

That is, motion sickness medicine, which is worth a lot of money, two yuan a piece. This thing is something you can't see in lower-class carriages.

The upper-class carriages provide more services and can even provide some dedicated services.

Spacious and quiet.

The nearest newspaper is placed next to the seat, with a full range of categories, and you can read it for free.

Bai Gui had nothing to do and took a few glances. From some news, he also saw the reason why Minister Wu said that "the national affairs are difficult". The court has been in a lot of trouble recently due to the affairs of the cabinet and Congress. It is very worried and has to train new soldiers. ...Wait a minute, where is the money to reward him?

Of course, it is also possible that some people are greedy for ink.

After a short nap, it was noon.

Kyoto Station, get off.

As soon as I got out of the train station, there were rows of rickshaw pullers waiting on both sides, so I randomly hailed one.

Lean less.

Entering the ancient city of Kyoto.

Kyoto was built after the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. Like Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, the main street is Zhuque Street, which runs from north to south, and is divided into Youjing, which was modeled after Chang'an, and Zuojing, which was modeled after Luoyang.

There are also east and west markets in the left and right capitals. At this time, there was also a market system.

Although Bai Gui knew the origin of Kyoto, as a Chang'an native, he still felt a little strange after entering.

It's like looking at a fake, but it's exquisite.

He shook his head and asked the rickshaw driver to take him to Gion Abode.

According to what Ajun told Bai Gui, Xunzi was learning skills at the geisha school in Gion. Gion is the most famous geisha flower street in Kyoto and even Japan, with more than 3,000 geishas here.

Along the way, there are antique buildings. It is very different from Tokyo, which has become more Westernized.

"Sir, are you looking for a girl? I am familiar with the girls in the veranda. I will introduce you to them. The veranda will give you a more favorable price..."

"Look for it yourself, otherwise you will be deceived!"

After walking for a while, the rickshaw driver said as he walked.

Not long after I got off the train, I went to Gion to look for geishas. I saw that they were lechers. He has been working as a rickshaw puller for some years, and he knows that as the saying goes, he usually goes to the verandah to find girls.

The Verandah has also cooperated with their rickshaw shop, and as long as they can introduce customers and customers, they will also receive a commission.

"Nonsense!"

"Do I look like that?"

Bai Gui immediately turned pale.

When it comes to which city's red light district I am most familiar with, I am in the transportation industry. I have seen these jokes on the Internet many times in my previous life, saying that if you want to solve the problem nearby, you only need to go to the taxi driver and you will get something...

I never thought I would be touched by him.

"Sir, are you afraid that I will lie to you? How could I lie to a noble person like you..."

complained the rickshaw driver.

Although it is possible to bully foreigners, it also depends on the status. If you look around, the whole family may pay for it.

Generally speaking, they would not engage in such a lifeless business.

Not to mention that the man in his car was strong and strong. It was obvious at a glance that he would be difficult to deal with. Even three or five big men would probably not be able to get close to him.

Bai Gui had no intention of breaking up with the rickshaw driver. Although he wanted to go to the verandah to see the world, the one introduced by the rickshaw driver was probably a low-level veranda with nothing interesting to see...

Besides, he has to be on guard, who knows if he might rip off customers.

Car and boat shop, legs and teeth, they deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty!

It’s a new arrival, so it’s better to play it safe.

Bai Gui knew very well about himself. He was not a noble gentleman with high moral standards. In addition to Ajun's prayer, he probably had some unexplainable meaning in coming to see Xunzi.

People tend to be afraid of things that are too hot. When you get away for a while, you will think back to its warmth.

In addition, if you come to Kyoto but don’t come to Gion, your visit is in vain.

On your way!

It's all on the way!

When the rickshaw driver saw that the customers in the car did not reply, he knew that the business was in trouble. He cursed secretly but did not dare to express it too much, so he could only pull him to the Gion boundary.

Gion is divided into two chapters: Gion East and Gion A.

Gion Flower Street.

When we got here, the flow of people was a bit crowded. Although the rickshaws were able to pass by, they inevitably slowed down a bit.

Gion is not entirely filled with houses and teahouses. It is also the largest entertainment venue in Kyoto. There are some restaurants on both sides of the road, displaying a variety of delicacies, among which Kyoto confectionery is the most popular.

Kyoto sweets are actually Japanese sweets, but the Japanese sweets in Kyoto are the most famous and are made differently.

Bai Gui got off the bus, paid, and started to walk along the road.

Seeing that the camellia candy sold was good, the candy was pinched into the shape of a camellia, so he bought a box as a gift.

Soon, they walked to the geisha school.

"Please find Xunzi..."

"She is about sixteen or seventeen years old, as tall as my chest, and a new student..."

Bai Gui said to the maid in the geisha school.

There are many geishas named Xunzi. But there are not many who meet the characteristics that Bai Gui said. Especially those who have recently enrolled, there are very few.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

The maid saluted hurriedly.

She could see that the boy in front of her was probably either rich or noble. The suit she was wearing was probably too expensive for her to afford, and the accessories he carried with him also showed his identity everywhere.

After a while, a little maid led Xunzi over.

Xunzi was attending a geisha school at the time, and she was not performing, so she did not apply white powder, and her face was plain. In addition, since the Meiji era, there has been a ban on black teeth, which has been in effect for decades, and most geishas do not dye their hair much.

She walked over in small steps, her steps were very slow, and her two hands, which had just emerged from the sleeves of her kimono, were close to her waist.

Very elegant way of walking.

"Sir..."

Xunzi's face immediately turned red when she saw Bai Gui.

This time, Bai Gui saw it clearly.
