"In Japan, if you want to become a geisha, you need to work as a geisha in a house for a year when you graduate from junior high school. Then you can become a maiko, that is, a trainee geisha. Before you can become a real geisha, geisha and maiko need to Living together in a home ownership house, the 'mother', that is, the proprietress of the home ownership house, takes care of the food and daily life. Of course, this is not free, let's not mention it now, I will talk about it later."
Yan Kai slowly told Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu and others.
"By the way, if you don't understand the house, let me explain briefly. You have just been to the tea house, so I won't go into details. It is the place where geisha perform and entertain guests, and the so-called 'house' is the place where geisha are trained. The jobs of geisha who have moved out of the house and become independent are also arranged by the house, which is equivalent to a brokerage company for the geishas."
"Although maikos also have to work in tea houses, perform dances and accompany guests to drink, they are not paid and can only have a small amount of pocket money. In order to prevent them from knowing the outside world and preventing them from escaping, maikos do not You are allowed to have mobile phones, and the only way to communicate with the outside world is through public phones and writing letters... Well, I dare you that there are public phone booths on the roadside in Japan now, just to take care of these maikos? What kind of humanistic care is this..."
Yan Kai fell into deep thought as he spoke.
He has always felt that in this era when everyone has a mobile phone, it is stupid to still maintain public phone booths. He did not expect that the Japanese government has thought so deeply behind the scenes...
"Don't interrupt, keep talking!"
When Kasumigaoka Shiyu heard this, her heart was filled with anger. She could not imagine that in Japan, in the country where she lived, there was such a thing that restricted personal freedom and treated women as objects!
The angry people were not only Kasumigaoka Shiu, but also Busujima Saeko. She could not help opening her hands, holding them empty, opening them, and holding them empty, as if she wanted to kill someone with a knife.
The three Lala sisters were not Japanese, but they still felt instinctively uncomfortable after hearing what Yan Kai said, especially Mengmeng and Nana, who were about to graduate from junior high school and could empathize with it the most.
When she was buying a house, Ayumi Yoshida had longed for those geishas in beautiful clothes. Her face turned pale. She was so scared that she was trembling when she thought that she once wanted to be a geisha. Ling and Haibara Ai also frowned after hearing this. Eyebrow, and Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko also began to feel scared.
What a terrible thing it is to confiscate your mobile phone and not be able to contact the outside world or know about the outside world...
"When a maiko reaches the age of twenty, she will become a geisha and become independent. A geisha's life requires a lot of money to maintain. The kimonos they wear often cost millions of yen. A geisha must not have only one kimono, so they They need a sponsor who can spend tens of millions of yen for them every year. This sponsor is their 'husband (dana)'. The sponsor has a physical relationship with them, and the sponsor pays the geisha's high living expenses. This kind of husband also Called 'Shuiyang Husband'."
"Remember what I just said, isn't it free for Home Ownership to train geishas? When the funder contracts a geisha, he needs to pay a large sum of money to Home Ownership to purchase the geisha's 'right of first night', and this money is given to Home Ownership as a training tool. The geisha herself doesn’t get a penny from the geisha’s fees.”
Listening to Yan Kai slowly telling the inside story of the geisha, Kasumigaoka Shiu trembled all over: "Crazy, simply crazy... Didn't you just say that those geisha also need to work in the teahouse? How can that house have the face? What do you want...quan's money!"
There are some words that even Kasumigaoka Shiha, who is full of pornographic accents, is unwilling to say. She usually uses pornographic accents to amuse her appearance and establish the persona of an "experienced and mature big sister", but when those words are spoken, she feels that they are They are trampling on the dignity of those geishas - even though the women who become geishas have no dignity whatsoever.
"Maybe the homebuyers regard the opportunity to work in the tea houses as a gift, so they don't feel the need to pay them."
Yan Kai thought for a while and said.
In Japan, the relationship between the company and its employees is not a two-way choice. The company gives employees the opportunity to work, that is, the company is kind to its employees, and the employees should be grateful to the company.
Putting it on the house and the maiko, the house provided the maiko with food and shelter, and also gave the maiko a chance to practice. How could the maiko have the nerve to ask her for wages? Isn’t this repaying kindness with hatred?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought of some realities in Japan and instantly became cold.
It's not that she's not angry anymore, it's that she knows it's useless to be angry, because the current situation in Japan is like this.
"Wait a minute, Kaijun, you said that maikos cannot become geishas until they are twenty years old. In other words, maikos are still minors. Minors can do what you said... accompany drinks and hang out... …Is it a bathing job? Does Japan’s law allow this kind of thing?”
Mengmeng asked.
"Mengmeng asked a good question." Yan Kai cast an approving look at Mengmeng. Mengmeng blushed and suddenly found that communicating with Yan Kai without glasses seemed less natural than before.
"What did I just say..." Yan Kai asked everyone to recall what he just said, and then said, "Maikos are not paid, they only have a meager pocket money."
"..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu and others.
Of course, minors will not work in such sexy places, but if they don’t pay, it doesn’t count as part-time work!
"In the house, all the maikos are the adopted daughters of mamasang. If you let your adopted daughter help, even if you are busy until midnight, it does not violate the "Young Workers Labor Law".
Yan Kai spread his hands and said.
In Japan, the body of the law can be very soft and flexible, especially regarding laws related to that area.
"Why don't they run away?"
Ayumi Yoshida suppressed her blush and said.
Fortunately, she had longed for geisha before, but now it seems that she is basically, basically...
She is just a seven-year-old girl with a limited vocabulary. Even though her horizons are wider than those of other children of the same age, she does not know that there is a word called "prostitute."
"This question... I still hope you will recall what I just said."
Yan Kai replied.
"Brainwashing, right?"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu sighed.
Yan Kai said before that maikos are not allowed to have mobile phones, so they cannot accept consultation from the outside world. Most of them are girls who have just graduated from junior high school or even younger. They have very weak minds. With a little bit of tricks, they can be They dare not resist, let alone run away, and are severely disconnected from the outside world. What can they do even if they run away? A woman who has learned a lot of skills to please and serve customers when she needs to learn the most, will probably end up just being a bartender and a woman of customs even if she escapes outside!
Yan Kai nodded slightly, and then continued: "Do you know why geisha are so popular with those powerful people? Is it because they can sing and dance well? Is it because their ballads are tactful and their shamisen is moving? No, it's because they only say flattering words. Extremely obedient, never resisting, putting dignity on the ground for those guests to trample on, satisfying their psychological needs as superiors."
When Yan Kai said this, everyone's good impression of geisha had been completely shattered. Kasumigaoka Shiyu remembered the news about Yan Kai just now, and said in a boastful tone that she felt ashamed to watch a geisha performance.
As a woman, how can we use the misfortunes of other women to please ourselves?
…………………………
"Xiaoling, how old are you this year?"
"Sakuraya", in the maiko's lounge, the heroine of Sakuraya, the proprietress Yamakura Tae, asked the maiko in front of her how to do it.
This maiko is named Chika Suzu, and she is the maiko who previously performed dances in front of Hattori Heiji, Sakura Shozo and others.
"Mother Duohui, Xiaoling is already nineteen this year."
Qianhe Ling bowed.
"In other words, you will become a geisha in one year at most."
Yamakura Tae said to Chiga Suzu.
There was no emotion on Qianhe Ling's face covered with thick white powder. Her voice was calm and she said: "Yes, Tahui's mother."
"Mr. Sakura offered 50 million yen to buy your first night, but I refused. He is just an antique dealer with some bad money. If he gets your first night, it will affect your future worth."
Yamakura Tae's tone was filled with disdain.
"Sakuraya" is not the best teahouse in Kyoto, but it is also one of the best teahouses. It has hosted countless dignitaries. Sakura Masazo is just an antique businessman who suddenly became rich in the past ten years. Yamakura Duo Hui is respectful on the surface, but deep down she looks down on him and doesn't think he will be a good donor.
"Your mother is my good sister. Don't say I won't give you a chance. That Hattori Heiji, you can take him down for me."
Yamakura Tae stroked Chiga Suzu's head and said.
"Yes, Mom Dahui."
Chika Suzu said respectfully.
"My mother couldn't bear to give you to those old men. This Hattori Heiji is the son of the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and a famous high school detective in Kansai. If he can make you a real Woman, this will be of great help to your future development. Of course, if he is willing to be your sponsor, that would be even better. In order to let him leave an impression on you, during the day today, I also I specially created an accident for you to meet each other. I originally thought that it would take some time for him to come to the door, but he actually came here tonight. Sakura Masazo has done a good thing!"
Yamakura Tae laughed as she spoke.
Yes, this is not the first time Hattori Heiji and Chika Suzu have met. During the day, Hattori Heiji rode his motorcycle to Kyoto and met Chika Suzu on the road. Chika Suzu happened to be robbed of her bag. Hattori Heiji stepped forward and knocked the bag thief to the ground, and helped Chika Suzu grab the bag. Chika Suzu got acquainted with Hattori Heiji, and gave Hattori Heiji her business card, so that Hattori Heiji could go to the tea house to find it when he had time. She, she will entertain Hattori Heiji well.
This unexpected encounter was actually deliberately arranged by Yamakura Tae, so that Hattori Heiji and Chika Suzu could get acquainted, and there was a reason why she chose Hattori Heiji.
"Have you remembered all the things written in the magazine? As soon as you get the chance, you will sing "Maruzhu Yi" in front of Hattori Heiji, making him think that you are his first love. Do you understand?"
Yamakura Tae warned Chiga Suzu.
"Yes, Mom Dahui."
Chika Suzu replied calmly.
The reason why Yamakura Tae fell in love with Hattori Heiji was because of the interview published by Hattori Heiji in a magazine, which recorded some details of Hattori Heiji's first love, and those details happened to match Chika Suzu, which made Yamakura Tae Hui thinks it's an opportunity.
Whether Chika Suzu is Hattori Heiji's first love or not is not important at all. What is important is that Hattori Heiji thinks so. Anyway, as long as Chika Suzu doesn't directly say that she is Hattori Heiji's first love and Hattori Heiji himself misunderstands, even if From now on, Hattori Heiji knows that Chika Rezu is not his first love, and Chika Rezu can act very innocent.
"Well, man, the first love is always the most unforgettable, especially Hattori Heiji is just a young boy. As long as Hattori Heiji misunderstands that you are his first love, he will try his best to get you. , considering that your mother and I are good sisters and your father has been sending me your living expenses, I will only accept 10 million yen for Heiji Hattori for your first night. His father is an Osaka policeman. The head of the headquarters, my mother is also a famous swordsman in Osaka, it’s only 10 million yen, I can easily get it if I think of a way.”
As Yamakura Tae spoke, she sighed with great regret: "To be honest, your most ideal partner should actually be the young master of the Three Extremes Sect who has just arrived in Kyoto recently. If you can become the jade in his hand, ', Mom can also follow suit, but it's a pity that we can't catch up with people like him... Well, Hattori Heiji is also a good choice. Compared with other sisters, you are lucky to have such a choice. .”
"Yes, Mom Dahui."
Chika Suzu seemed like a robot that could only repeat this sentence. Yamakura Takiye didn't mind this. After all, she was the one who trained Chika Suzu to be like this.
Japan's service industry is world-famous, and the core of that world-famous service industry is to put service providers completely under the feet of guests, so that guests can have an incomparably great feeling. The geisha profession has magnified this to the extreme, and is known as People who have been served by geisha often feel like they are generals, as if they are on top of the clouds, making people forget to leave.
The skills, words and deeds, makeup and hair accessories that geishas are trained to develop are all to please men and cut off contact with the outside world. They are to make those underage girls ignorant of the world, simple and innocent, with snow-white makeup and dark and lush hairstyles. The neck, smeared with snow-white powder and deliberately exposed to satisfy male aesthetics, is the part that can most arouse Japanese men and make them want to have wild dreams.
The words and deeds of geisha and maiko all revolve around Japanese men's requirements for a perfect woman: gentleness and obedience. When serving banquets, they are observant, considerate, soft-spoken, always smiling, and will never contradict guests.
In the male-dominated Japanese society, the existence of geisha fully demonstrates the traditional concept of male superiority and female inferiority. It is a model of the Japanese service industry and an accessory for dignitaries to show off their financial resources.
There are many requirements for becoming a geisha, including arduous training, being able to sing, dance, and be charming. It requires you to become a symbol of a perfect woman, but it does not require you to become a living person.
Growing up in such an environment, Chika Suzu didn't have the idea of self. She didn't even feel much about the "goodwill" of Duo Hui's mother. After all, sooner or later, she had to sleep with those old men, even on the first night. What if it's given to a young handsome guy?
"Okay, if everything is known, you can go out and continue to accompany the guests." Yamakura Tae ordered, and then added emphatically, "Remember to attract Hattori Heiji's attention, he doesn't seem to have even thought that you are here today. That person I met during the day!”
The powder on Chika Suzu's face weighed two kilograms, and the maiko's hair accessories were similar. She also changed her clothes, and Hattori Heiji was able to recognize her until he saw a ghost.
"Yes, Mom Dahui."
However, Qian Heling still nodded in agreement, because she didn't know any other answer other than nodding in agreement.
Just when Chika Suzu was about to walk out of the lounge, a waiter from the tea house opened the door of the lounge in a panic: "Sorry, General, Mr. Sakura... Mr. Sakura was killed!"
"ah?"
…………………………
After knowing what kind of existence a geisha was and what kind of activities were going on in the tea house, Kasumigaoka Shiu felt that Mourilan and the others could not be left there, especially when the child Conan was still there, how could the child be exposed to such things!
Conan is already precocious enough, and it will be worse if he matures any further!
Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought so.
So Kasumigaoka Shiyu sent a message to Mao Lilan, asking her to leave the "Sakura House" quickly.
Soon, Kasumigaoka Shiyu received a reply from Mao Lilan.
"No, Shiyu-senpai, there was a murder here, and we can't leave now!"
"Huh? Murder?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned.
Yan Kai glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's mobile phone and saw the message Mao Lilan responded to. In response, Yan Kai only had two words to comment: "You deserve it!"
I don’t even think about where I am. Even a primary school student dares to put it in (the one who puts it in is a primary school student who is the god of death). If you don’t kill someone, who will die?
