A person holding a shamisen sat upright behind her.

"Location" refers to the women in gebuki who are responsible for playing the shamisen and singing songs. They do not wear buns, do not apply heavy makeup, and wear simple kimonos.

According to Zi Yang, the dance she will perform next is the most representative and classic geisha dance in Gion: "Gion Minor".

Zi Yang, who was well prepared, turned his head sideways and glanced at the place behind him.

Fang nodded in response, then flipped the plectrum in his right hand, lightly strummed the strings, and the sound of music immediately sounded.

The light and comfortable melody spreads out soothingly and melodiously like flowing clouds and flowing water.

This local's piano skills are quite superb. Under her skillful plucking, the beautiful notes wandered and lingered in the banquet hall, like large and small crystal beads falling into a jade plate, like a ding-dong song. A loud gurgling stream.

Ziyang moved her waist and danced gracefully to the sound of music.

In an instant, after Ziyang appeared, the breathing of the whole audience stopped again.

Aoto is no stranger to geisha dance.

He had seen geisha perform many times before in various occasions such as high-end restaurants in Edo and private banquets of certain dignitaries.

To be fair, he didn't really like geisha singing and dancing.

In his opinion, geisha's singing and dancing performances were too soothing and too slow-paced. Watching them too much would make him want to sleep. It was not until this moment that his thoughts completely changed.

Aoto... no, all the guests present, including Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Souji, all stared at the dancing Ziyang with breathless concentration, without even blinking... or in other words, they forgot to blink.

What kind of dance is this?

It looks like fluttering ribbons!

It looks like a whirling Luan bird!

The slender waist seemed to be broken at a moment's break, twisting as lightly as a water snake. Even if he was wearing thick clothes, he could clearly feel the softness and fleshiness of his waist.

The paper fan in her right hand flew up and down dexterously, as if it would transform into a gorgeous butterfly at any time, fluttering its wings wildly.

The delicate little feet stepped lightly on the tatami, and the tender soles of the feet, which were white and rosy, were looming.

The warm breath of youth brushed across Qingdeng's face.

Her light and graceful dancing posture has a pure, kind, pleasing, and at the same time elusive charm.

It makes people feel as if they are on a beautiful sunny day by the river bank full of flowers. Surrounded by flowers, a beautiful and pure girl expounds her understanding of music and her feelings about beauty enthusiastically but yet gently. .

Even Qingdeng, who had watched countless songs and dances, couldn't help but be distracted by this indescribably wonderful and perfect dance.

Vision, hearing, smell... all the senses in the body, all of them are concentrated on Zi Yang's body, on this beautiful woman who seems to be a dancing fairy descending to earth.

It wasn't until Ziyang finished dancing that his five senses returned to his body and he "gained" control of his body.

After dancing a song, Ziyang's breath was still calm.

She lowered her body and saluted around her in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"This servant has made a fool of himself."

After the words fell, silence fell inside and outside the banquet hall, and the whole place was quiet.

About five seconds later, a wave of warm applause came overwhelmingly towards Ziyang.

Ziyang smiled slightly and gave another salute.

…

…

With the company of geishas, ​​the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became completely different.

After performing singing, playing, dancing and many other talents, all the geishas including Ziyang spread out to accompany each guest.

This is one of the services of a geisha.

In addition to performing songs and dances to entertain the guests, geishas are also responsible for accompanying the guests to drink and chat, and play zashiki games with the guests.

So, looking at everyone in the audience, who is qualified to be accompanied by Ziyang?

The answer to this question is naturally obvious at a glance.

"Master Tachibana, I have admired your name for a long time! I admire you very much! I have always wanted to see you in person! Today I finally got my wish!"

Ziyang said this in an excited tone while pouring wine for Qingdeng.

Her wine-pouring skills are perfect.

Her eyes kept falling on Qingdeng, without even glancing at the wine bottle in her hand.

This was obviously the case, but her hands holding the wine bottle were extremely steady. The wine was like a trickle, drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and fell steadily into the cup without any deviation. Not a drop was spilled.

"Your heroic deeds of defeating the Yi group and wiping out the Qingshui clan really inspires me!"

Ziyang is surprisingly talkative.

Different from the fairy spirit when dancing just now, as if falling from the heaven to the mortal world, Ziyang, who is accompanying Qingdeng at this time, has an easy-going smile on his face and an approachable look on his cheeks.

Yanye, still smiling beautifully.

Qingdeng smiled and said modestly:

"Miss Ziyang, I just did what I should do."

After that, he took a sip of his drink and asked casually:

"'Ziyang'... this is a really nice flower name. Did you choose it yourself?"

"Well, yes!"

"Why did you choose such a name? Do you like hydrangeas very much?"

In Japan, "Hydrangea" is the name of the flower. Hydrangea is also called hydrangea.

Zi Yang shook his head gently.

"No, the reason is not complicated. It's just because my real name is related to hydrangea, so I took 'Purple Sun' as the flower name."

"Oh? May I ask what your real name is?"

Ziyang blinked her beautiful eyes, showing a playful expression.

"Tachibana-sama, it is very rude to ask a geisha her real name."

Qingdeng laughed dumbly.

"Sorry, I'm rude. I don't often interact with geishas, ​​so I'm not familiar with your rules."

"Master Tachibana, do you rarely go to Flower Street?"

"Well, for some reasons that I cannot explain in detail, I have always stayed away from romantic places such as Flower Street and Youkuo."

"That's it...that's such a pity..."

Ziyang flattened her red lips, with a look of melancholy on her face.

"I also hope to have more interactions with the man I admire in the future..."

As she spoke, her little hands climbed up to Qingdeng's waist, gently caressing, and occasionally pinching.

At the same time, she narrowed her eyes, her eyes as charming as silk.
