"Actually, I know very well that their courtesy is not to us geishas, but to something else. Most of the time it's the same," Qianhe Ling smiled and said to Chi Feichi, "It seems like saying this in front of children. It’s a little too heavy.”
Chi Feichi didn't dare to say anything. He looked at Haiyuan Ai and said, "To put it simply, it's too expensive for geishas to appear. They are accompanied by high-ranking officials, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Even if the newcomers don't have enough connections, they still have potential. Who can guarantee that it won't happen?" Which big shot likes Miss Qianhe? If a woman like Miss Qianhe, who is so eloquent, offends someone casually, she will give a blow to a big shot while she is making him happy, and get rid of the person who offended her? "
"Furthermore, Sannoji Temple where Ryūen is located needs benefactors, Mr. Mizuo needs popularity as a Noh actor, and Mr. Saijo has to be like everyone else for the vest of the owner of the ancient bookstore. If he has friendship with Chiga Suzu, he will have If you are troublesome, you may need Chiga Suzu to help you connect with a certain big shot. It would be best if you can make good friends with him. The courtesy of those three people is towards Miss Chiga, but not towards Miss Chiga."
"They still have to be polite when facing Ms. Chiga, even if they were once her guests, and the attitude of these people from middle-class backgrounds makes people who can't afford and are reluctant to hire geishas feel uncomfortable Geishas are very noble, and the status of geishas comes from this."
This statement was so straightforward that Chiga Suzu could only laugh.
"Then you shook your head at me before..."
Haihara Ai probably understood.
Chi Feichi indicated that she didn’t need to follow him in the big salute, because they didn’t need it. Zhenchi Group and Field Group didn’t need a geisha to bridge the gap. The interests involved with other consortiums and groups were too big, and she wasn’t a geisha. They don't need to be polite to Chika Suzu if they can turn things around.
Salute out of politeness?
No, if they follow up with the big salute and spread the word, maybe... others will feel embarrassed? For example, people from the Ooka family?
After all, even when facing people from the Ooka family, except for some elders, they don't seem to need to pay that kind of courtesy. If they lower their posture in front of a geisha, people will be unhappy, thinking that they mean that the famous family is not as good as a geisha.
"It's not necessary, it's not possible," Chi Feichi originally wanted Haiyuan Ai to understand these twists and turns, so he deliberately revealed them. He never thought it was bad to let his children see more complex and dark things. You have to have seen everything to have experience. "Unless Miss Chiga becomes the guest of an elder like the head of the Ooka family, in that case, we have to bow."
"Ooka family?" Chihe Ling looked at Chi Feichi curiously, "Mr. Chi should not only be a shareholder of THK Entertainment, right? I heard that THK Entertainment is supported by the Tokyo Suzuki family and multinational groups. Mr. Chi is a shareholder of Chi Feichi." From home, right?"
Chi Feichi nodded. Even in Kyoto, a geisha had to understand the trends of many large consortiums and companies. It was not surprising to guess his identity.
Hattori Heiji scratched his head and said, "Brother Fei Chi, if you say this, it makes people feel that Mr. Mizuo and the others are a little too realistic, that is... just..."
"This is how the adult world is, just for survival, for a better survival," Chi Feichi said in a calm tone, but his words were so straightforward, "Miss Qianhe felt emotional, she should have seen me Sister, I thought of one thing. Geishas are sometimes praised as princesses, but they are never real princesses. To put it simply, Miss Qianga feels uncomfortable."
Geishas wear expensive and luxurious clothes. It takes an average family several years or more than ten years of annual salary to buy a set. Ordinary girls are naturally envious of it, but some people can wear it casually.
That night, Hui Yuan Ai rubbed off a lot of the gold while playing with bows and arrows, but Hui Yuan Ai didn't care, and he didn't care either.
Even if Haiyuan Ai throws away or cuts off the clothes, what he and his mother will consider will not be the value of the clothes, but whether Haiyuan Ai is in a bad mood, whether he doesn't like something, or whether he is overly pampered. , which is not conducive to the growth of Hui Yuan Ai.
As for the etiquette and gentleness of geishas, famous families such as Ooka Momiji, whose families pay attention to women's cultivation and etiquette, train girls who are no worse than geishas, and even have dignity and magnanimity that geishas do not have.
The way Haibara Ai played with the bow casually at that time did not make people feel rude. Instead, she had the freedom and ease that Chiga Suzu envied.
Hattori Heiji held it in for a long time before saying, "Miss Chiga can be her own princess!"
What did Brother Chi say? It's so realistic that it makes people uncomfortable.
Conan also nodded, adhering to the worldview that everyone is equal.
"Thank you." Qianhe Ling smiled at the two of them and said no more.
The reality is that geishas really don’t have their own lives.
However, she also felt that such realistic matters should not be discussed in front of teenagers, boys, and girls. Young teenagers and girls should be full of beautiful fantasies and expectations for the world.
"I am not the biological child of the Chi family," Huiyuan Ai paused, "Although I want to comfort you so much, when I say this, it seems to hurt my godmother and brother's heart a little. The reason why I say it is because I found out that this My beloved brother is also not careful about his words and deeds."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Well, I even complained about him.
But to be so straightforward with reality, he could tell Hui Yuan Ai in private, but speaking in front of outsiders was indeed not enough to be 'cautious in words and deeds'.
"But no one's life will be easy," Haiyuan Ai said in a cold voice, "When you envy others, you are also the envy of many people."
"Thank you for your comfort, I understand," Qianhe Ling smiled and thanked her with a subtle mood. This child is really precocious. He probably has an older brother who doesn't know how to retain the little girl's fantasy. It's not easy for everyone. "By the way, actually Sannengji Temple is on Rokkaku Road, and we are passing by Yichuan Road now... Can Miss Xiaoai sing handball songs?"
"I met two beautiful ladies who taught me before," Haibara Ai counted, "Maruzhu Yiji, Oshi Ochi..."
Hattori Heiji was stunned. Wasn't this the song his first love sang?
"Sister, Rokkaku..." Chika Suzu sang along and smiled, "So we should be on the sixth road now."
"Handball song?" Conan looked at Haihara Ai in confusion.
Haiyuan only came to Kyoto a few days before them, but it seemed like Haiyuan had learned a lot.
"I heard that it is a song composed of the roads in Kyoto from north to south," Haibara mourned, "for children to remember the names of the roads."
"Brother Chi has understood the meaning of that painting. Could it be that..." Conan said mid-sentence and stopped talking.
The meaning of that painting cannot be revealed, and it cannot be ruled out that Chika Suzu is Genji Hotaru's person.
Hattori Heiji kept staring at Chiga Suzu and said thoughtfully, "Miss Chiga, are you...from Kyoto?"
Qianhe Ling nodded, "That's right."
"How old are you this year?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"I am 19 years old this year." Chika Suzu replied.
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other silently.
At the intersection of the next street, Chika Suzu said goodbye and left, "This is Oike Street, so I'll take my leave first. I will consider Mr. Chi's proposal carefully, and I will give you an answer before you leave."
After watching Chika Suzu cross the road, Conan raised his head and asked Hattori Heiji, "Do you think she is..."
"It must be her!" Hattori Heiji said firmly, "She is from Kyoto, and she is two years older than me."
Conan was speechless, "But, all the children in Kyoto can sing that song, even those who just arrived like Haibara..."
"Found it, I finally found her..." Hattori Heiji muttered in a trance, not listening to Conan's words at all, until his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
Seeing Hattori Heiji answer the phone, Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichi.
what's the situation?
Chi Feichi explained, "Hattori is looking for his first love."
Hui Yuan Ai was speechless. She thought he was talking about finding the murderer, "So you guys are still talking about this when we are together."
After Hattori Heiji answered the phone, he explained the situation to the other three people, "It was opened by Officer Otaki. Mr. Sakura's blood was detected on the short knife thrown by the murderer. It seems that it was the murder weapon that killed Mr. Sakura. It seems like that , the other party deliberately left the short knife there after attacking me..."
"It should be that the police wanted to think that someone from outside killed Mr. Sakura and took away the murder weapon," Conan took over. "The only people who needed to mislead the police in this way were the four people who were in the teahouse at the time."
"No, there are three. My first love cannot be a murderer!" Hattori Heiji declared to Conan confidently, and then looked at Chi Feichi with a smile, "Brother Feichi, is there any way you can find out about Miss Chiga?"
"You can ask Officer Ayanokouji or Officer Shiratori." Chi Feichi said, "They are more familiar with me in Kyoto."
Conan was surprised, "Officer Shiratori?"
…
"Mr. Chi, you said so..."
Outside Foguang Temple, Shiratori Rensaburo dressed up as a tourist and ambushed him. He looked embarrassed for a moment, then smiled proudly and said, "That's right, I still have some respect in Zhuyuan."
Zhuyuan is the most representative flower street in Kyoto.
Conan's half-moon eyes: "..."
What's there to be proud of in this kind of thing? It's hard for you, the children of aristocratic families, to understand!
Shiratori Rensaburo immediately made a phone call to find someone to find out about Chika Suzu's situation.
Chi Feichi stood on the street smoking and looking at the Foguang Temple in front of him.
Black tiles, black wood, black wooden doors, and gray walls make the whole temple look very heavy and solemn.
Also weird.
Now that the sun has just moved to the west, he can imagine that in the evening, the setting sun will shine right from behind the temple. If you stand at the main entrance and look at it, it will indeed look like a temple emitting Buddha light. This is probably the origin of Foguang Temple.
He found it strange because it was strange for a black building to emit Buddha light, and the nearest subway to this temple was the Karasuma Line.
After Conan wrote the word "jade" and concluded that Foguang Temple was related to Genji Hotaru, the police were called over and entered the temple for a preliminary inspection. No stolen statues of Medicine Master Tathagata were found. They are now scattered around the temple. Some statues are scattered around the temple. To investigate nearby suspicious buildings, some, like Shiratori Rensaburo, disguised themselves as tourists to observe if any suspicious people passed by.
If this place is related to the organization...
Hey, he said he didn't mean it. I wonder if he believes it?
"Okay... Sorry to trouble you." Shiratori Rensaburo hung up the phone.
Chi Feichi looked away. If he had not received any dangerous information yet and asked him what he was doing, then he would just assume that this place had nothing to do with the organization.
