I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

After all, Yoshihara is not a castle in the true sense. Although there are residential areas for ordinary people and small-scale markets, they do not occupy a large area.

Occupying most of Yoshihara's land, it is the densely layered Yunv's house.

"The most central avenue in Yoshiwara is called'Nakanomachi.' It is considered the most spacious street in Yoshiwara. Almost all important events will be held in Nakanomachi."

After taking Ogata to visit the residential areas and markets of Yoshihara briefly, Guasheng led Ogata back to Nakanomachi, the road that cut Yoshihara flatly into two halves.

I plan to take Ogata to take a brief stroll around the large Yumeya with Nakanomachi as its center.

"The closer you are to Nakanomachi, the more advanced it is, and the relative-the farther you are from Nakanomachi, the lower the level."

"The Rashomon Riverbank, where I told you last night that gathered sick and old wanderers, is located on the westernmost side of Yoshiwara."

"The'Rashomon River Bank' is also the key supervision area of ​​our Shiro Bingbei Club."

"That place is the most chaotic place in our Yoshihara."

"Because the wandering girls who beg for life on the'Rashomon River' are basically sick or old."

"So there are always beasts who have spotted the weak body of the wandering girls in that place, and ran to the bank of the Rashomon River."

Guasheng's eloquence is very good, very good at preaching, Ogata thinks she might have the prospect of being a teacher.

After coming out of Guasheng's house, Guasheng's mouth has not stopped, and has been introducing various details of Yoshihara to Ogata.

However, Gua Sheng can always use the shortest and most interesting words to summarize the knowledge that should be very complicated.

Thanks to Gusheng's continuous popularization of Yoshihara's various knowledge, Ogata did not feel bored when traveling around Yoshihara.

Before they knew it, the two returned to Nakanomachi, the most central avenue in Yoshiwara.

The time now is about 9 o'clock in the morning.

Because it was past the early morning hours when the sun had just risen, the number of people walking around the streets of Yoshiwara gradually increased.

The lifestyles of the wandering girls and ordinary people are reversed.

Ordinary people work during the day and sleep and rest at night.

The wandering girls sleep and rest during the day, and start work at night.

At this time, many wandering girls are still sleeping and resting in the bed.

Of course, there are also some very energetic wanderers who have slipped out of their own wanderers and played around.

After returning to Nakanomachi, Okinawa found that compared with when he just arrived at Yoshiwara, there were many more Yugosas who slipped out to play in Nakanomachi.

However, because there are not many entertainment activities in this era, they can't leave Yoshihara freely, so the only way for these wanderers who sneak out to play is to get together and talk about the entertainment and relaxation.

Some of these wandering girls who slipped out to play, still combed their hair and put on makeup properly.

Some are very casual, not only without makeup, but also without combing the hair, dragging a long hair.

Ogata and Guayu had just appeared in Nakanomachi, and Ogami saw the three Yuu girls who had gathered to chat not far away and suddenly beckoned to them.

After seeing the three wandering girls beckoning to them, Gua Sheng immediately walked towards the three wandering girls with the wooden knife on her waist.

Although it is not clear why these three Yuu girls beckoned to them suddenly, Ogata hurriedly followed.

Two of the three wandering girls wore well-groomed Shimada updos, and only one had loose hair, leaving long, straight black hair draped behind him.

After Guasheng saw the three of them beckoning and walking quickly, the only wandering girl without a hair bun said to Guasheng grinningly:

"Yoshihara concentric! Have you started patrolling so early?"

"Um... it can be regarded as a patrol." Guasheng smiled, "I am now taking this newcomer who just entered our club to work today to get acquainted with Yoshihara. By the way, I will also patrol Yoshihara."

After all, Guasheng turned sideways and introduced to Ogata who was standing behind him:

"This is the newcomer who joined our club today-Goro Mashima."

"Gui'an." Ogata bowed to the three wandering girls in front of him, "In Shimo Majima Goro."

"Roar~~" The girl with long hair looked up and down Ogata several times with curious eyes. "It looks like a very reliable samurai! Yoshiwara's security, please!"

"There will be a dead end in the next meeting."

"The number of outlanders flocking to Edo has increased a lot recently." Another petite girl standing next to the girl with a draped hair suddenly sighed slightly, "It made us Yoshihara now. It’s also a lot messier than before, it’s really unbearable 6"

"Don't worry!" Gusheng raised his hand and patted his little chest. "All those who dare to make trouble in Yoshihara, our Shiro Bingbei Club will bring these people to justice!"

"It's really reliable," said Yoshinori with a grin. "It's worthy of our Yoshihara concentric."

"Please don't call me Yoshihara concentric." Gusheng's tone showed a strong frustration. "The word'Yoshihara concentric' has so many syllables, don't you feel troublesome to pronounce it?"

"I don't think so." As the wandering girl said, she put her hand into her collar, and then took out a small paper bag from the collar, "Come on, this is for you."

"Huh? This is?" Gua Sheng looked suspicious, and reached out to take the small paper bag handed by the Phi Fa You Girl.

"This is the yokan given to me by one of my guests last night."

"According to him, this yokan came from a very popular restaurant in Edo."

"Although I heard the customer say what the name of the store is, I forgot. I tried this yokan, and it was delicious."

"He sent too many yokan, and my friends and I can't eat it together, so I will give you the rest!"

"Ah! Thank you!" Gu Sheng was not polite, and directly said thank you loudly, then looked at the small paper bag in his hand with expectant eyes, and his throat moved due to swallowing saliva.

After bidding farewell to the three wandering girls, Gua Sheng couldn't wait to open the food-packed paper bag that was just given to them by the wandering girl.

There are 6 yokan lying quietly in the paper bag.

Although there is a word for "sheep", Japanese yokan does not have mutton, it is a dessert.

The original yangkan did contain lamb, and it was a soup made by adding lamb in the Tang Dynasty.

After this delicacy was introduced to Japan, it was demolished.

There are many factions of Buddhism in Japan, and some factions hold strict precepts, not eating wine and meat or marrying wives and concubines.

Some factions are no different from ordinary people. They can eat meat and drink or take in three wives and four concubines.

Because those monks who follow strict precepts do not eat meat, these monks have changed the delicacy of "Yokang".

Use red beans, arrowroot powder and flour to make a lamb liver shape. The pronunciation of "liver" and "geng" in Japanese is similar, so "sheep liver" is said to be "yanggeng".

Then it became a famous refreshment when it became popular in the tea ceremony.

In the Edo period, yokan, which was originally a single flavor of red bean, evolved into different flavors such as sweet potato and chestnut.

Ogata glanced at the yokan in the paper bag-chestnut flavor.

Since there are 6 yokans, they can be split in half, so three of them are passed to Ogata's hands.

As soon as Ogata got up today, he went straight to Yoshihara and didn't even eat breakfast.

At the moment when his stomach was a little hungry, Ogata was not welcome, and generously accepted the three yokans that Guasheng handed over, and then feasted on it with Guasheng.

The two had just bid farewell to the three wandering girls, and before they walked a few steps far away, they saw a few wandering girls beckoning to them on the street not far away.

"Xiaoguasheng! Good morning!"

"Good morning! Don't call me Xiaoguasheng! Why do you both call me badly by my name..."

"Isn't it too serious to call you Guasheng? Xiao Guasheng, who is behind you?"

These wandering girls are the same as the three wandering girls just now, but they just came to say hello to Guasheng and ask who the stranger Ogata is by the way.

"Come on, Xiaoguasheng, this is the steamed buns given to me by one of my customers. I know you like steamed buns the most, so I have reserved a few for you."

"Ah! Thank you!"

After bidding farewell to Gua Sheng, these wandering girls gave them some food just like the three wandering girls just now.

This time, the two Ogata received several steamed buns.

...

...

"Gusheng! Good morning!"

...

"Xiao Tongxin, come, here you are, thank you for helping me recover the guy who stole my money when I didn't pay attention!"

...

"I can't eat any of these, so let's give it to you."

...

Following the parade of Gua Sheng in the "Yunnuwu area" is a real "stop and go"...

Every time they walked a certain distance, the two of Ogata... To be precise, Guasheng would be stopped by the Yuu girl who slipped outside to play in the Yuu girl's house.

These wandering girls have different names for Guasheng.

Some call Guasheng's last name in a proper manner.

Some call Guasheng's nickname "Yoshihara Concentric".

Some people call "Xiaoguasheng" or "Xiaogua" very affectionately.

Although the names are different, these wandering girls are very enthusiastic about melons.

They either offered simple greetings to the melons, or they gave me some raw melons to eat at the same time.

Thanks to the blessing of melons, Ogata tasted yokan, steamed buns, daifuku, glutinous rice dumplings... and other delicacies in less than an hour.

Ogata himself can’t remember how many wandering girls he and Guao have been from

After stuffing a piece of dorayaki that a certain wandering girl had just given them into the entrance and swallowing it, Ogata said with a tone of helplessness and admiration to the melon next to him:

"Miss Guasheng, your popularity among the wandering girls is so high... Every wandering girl knows you and greets you enthusiastically."

"Not only greeted you warmly, but also gave you a bunch of food."

The scene where the girls gave food to melons just now...Although it may be strange to say that, Ogata really has a sense of "feeding pets"...

Whenever there is a wandering girl to give food, the melon will be full of excitement and will accept it. In addition, the height of the melon is particularly short, most of the wandering girls are taller than the melon, so It seems more like "feeding pets"...

"It might have something to do with me as a girl."

Gua Sheng said in a half-joking tone.

"I am the only woman among all the people in the Shiro Bingbei Club who are responsible for keeping Yoshiwara law and order, so compared to other men, the wandering girls definitely prefer me who is also a woman."

After all, Guasheng handed the last piece of big blessing left in the paper bag to Ogata.

"Come on, Mashima-kun, I can't eat it anymore, so let's give you this big blessing."

Ogata didn't make much excuses, and took the big blessing from Guasheng and began to gnaw.

Looking at the Daifuku who had been bitten in half by him, Ogata asked the Guasheng beside him with a vague voice because of the Daifuku stuck in his mouth:

"Why do wanderers have so much food?"

"These foods are basically given by the guests." Gua Sheng replied, "there are very few guests who can generously give gold and silver jewelry to the wandering girls."

"In fact, most of the people who come to visit Yoshihara are ordinary people."

"Ordinary people can deliver it, and it won't look shabby when it is delivered. There are only those delicacies."

"You girls don't usually get in and out of Yoshiwara freely, so if someone brings some food outside Yoshiwara that you haven't eaten much, the girls are still very happy."

"Sometimes the guests give too much food, and the wandering girls will share it with their friends, or share it with the officials at the Shiro Bingbei Club."

Speaking of this, Guasheng licked his lips.

"It seems that I ate too much food just now... I was a little thirsty..."

Hearing Guasheng's words, Ogata also felt a little thirsty in his throat.

Ogata looked around, "Are there any tea houses nearby..."

"Ah!" Guasheng suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly yelled softly, "Mashima-kun, I will take you to a place, and you will come with me."

"Where to go?" Ogata wondered.

"Stay in."

Guasheng said a name that was quite unfamiliar to Ogata

"Every day, different guests visit Yoshihara."

"Some of these guests who visit Yoshihara are ordinary people from the countryside."

"Some are samurai or merchants with good family background."

"If you want to entertain these guests, it's not enough to have good looks, you have to have good conversation, knowledge, and self-cultivation."

"So our Shiro Bingbei Club opened a stay house."

"You can think of staying in the house as a school dedicated to teaching travel girls to read and write."

"Our Shiro Bingbei Club hired teachers to stay in the room for teaching."

"Because it is free, many travel girls who don't know how to read or write or who hope to have a deeper education sign up to stay in the house to study."

"Even our wind chime husband goes to stay in the house to study."

"Where did the oiran go to study?" Ogata raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Anyone who can be an oiran should be better educated than many well-earned samurai, right?"

"The wind chime is a very good person to learn. He goes to stay in the room every day to read and write. He has never slackened."

After that, Gua Sheng raised his head and glanced at the position of the sun.

"Lectures should have begun on the side of the room now."

After quietly listening to Guasheng's introduction of the details of the school, Ogata heartily praised:

"Do you teach the Yu-girls to read and write for free... It’s really nice to stay in the house, so that after the Yu-girls leave Yoshiwara, they can also have a good skill."

After listening to Guasheng's introduction to the house, Ogata couldn't help but become a little curious about this school, which was opened exclusively to wandering girls.

"I also think this stay is great."

Guasheng said with a smile.

"Improving the schooling of the wandering girls will give them the opportunity to entertain those who can spend a lot of money, and they can raise enough money to redeem themselves faster."

"It was the idea of ​​the current leader of our Shiro Biebe Club, the six generations of the Shiro Biebei, to build this staying house open to the wandering girls free of charge."

"Although we are responsible for the construction and operation of the stay at the Shiro Bingbei Club, almost everyone in our club likes Shiro Bingbei's idea of ​​teaching the wandering girls to read and write for free. Keep talking."

"But does this have anything to do with our staying in the house now?" Ogata nodded and asked.

"There is always a good tea in the room."

"I usually patrol in Yoshihara, and when I am thirsty, I will go to the residence and order their tea."

"I will take you to taste the tea in the house now."

"By the way, I will also take you to remember where to stay in the house."

"Okay." After listening to Guasheng's introduction to the house, Ogata, who was already a little curious about the house, nodded without hesitation.

"Then let's go." Guasheng helped the wooden knife on his waist, and then led Ogata to the intersection next to him.

Turning past this intersection, Ogata and Guasheng suddenly noticed that there were 3 travel girls gathered on the side of the road not far away, looking sneaky,

Feeling a little puzzled, Gusheng walked forward:

"What are you doing?"

The three wandering girls did not show any panic after seeing Gua Sheng come over, and they greeted Gua Sheng enthusiastically.

"Nothing." said a tall wandering girl among the three. "It's just that a guest gave me a very interesting thing last night, and I'm showing it to these two friends of mine."

"Oh? Something interesting?" Gusheng looked curious, "What is it?"

"This...Miss Guasheng, you'd better not know what it is." The tall girl smiled bitterly, "I don't think you would like this kind of thing, Miss Guasheng. So I still don't show it to you. I'm sorry."

"That's okay." Although rejected by the tall wandering girl, Gua Sheng, who was not a gossip, did not show any frustration or dissatisfaction.

After waving his hand heartily, he said: "Then I will go first, and the three of you will talk slowly."

...

...

After Ogata and Guasheng left, the three Yuu girls hurriedly regrouped side by side again.

"Look at it." The tall girl took out a thick paper bag from her arms, and after unwrapping the paper bag, the contents inside were revealed-a strange smell as thick as an adult thumb Of pills.

"This is the ‘Ren Dan Pill’." The tall wandering girl said word by word.

The other two wandering girls looked at the black pill and swallowed.

"Is this the'Rendan Pill"..." one of the wandering girls murmured.

"Is this really a genuine product from the Yamada Asemon family?" asked another Yumi.

"It should be..." said the tall wandering girl. "Anyway, the customer who gave me the pill said it was the genuine product. As for whether it is the genuine product, I am not sure."

"The customer who gave you this pill is really weird...why do you want to give you a pill specifically for treating lung diseases?"

"He is a drug dealer." The tall girl said, "He can't give out gold and silver jewelry, so he always gives me medicine."

"I told him a few days ago that I always cough recently, so when he came to see me last night, he specially gave me this'human gall pill', but he was late to deliver this medicine...My cough is all right. ."

"This is the first time I have seen it... "Human gall pill" made from human gall...Will it taste very bitter... By the way, why didn't you give me a guts just now to see your "human gall" Maru' ah?"

"I’ve heard people say before—Miss Guasheng doesn’t like this kind of medicine made from human internal organs, so don’t show her this'human gall pill', which will make Miss Guasheng unhappy. That's not good."

After all, the tall girl wrapped the human gall bladder again and put it back in his arms.

"Since your cough is gone, how do you deal with such a'human gall pill'? Do you want to sell it? If this pill is really a genuine product from the Yamada Asemon family~www.wuxiahere.com~ That should still be able to sell a lot of money." asked the girl who was standing on the left hand of the tall girl.

"I don't like that little money." The tall girl smiled bitterly, "Anyway, let's collect it first. Maybe I can use this medicine someday in the future."

"Yamada Asemon's family..." The girl standing next to the tall girl's right hand seemed to be thinking of something horrible at this time, and she stunned, "I can't think of my lifetime, but I still have a chance to watch it. To that medicine made by the Yamada Asemon family."

"Me too." The tall girl nodded in agreement. "I have always heard that the house of Yamada Asemon's family is full of dead bodies... It's scary to think about it..."

"I have also heard that the house of the Yamada Asemon family is full of corpses, and new corpses will be sent into their house every once in a while... I have always been curious that their family sleeps with the corpses every day. Together, won't you feel unable to eat or sleep?"

"They might be used to it a long time ago." The tall girl replied, "Anyway, I can't imagine what their usual life is like... Forget it, let's not talk about this horrible topic, let's talk more easily. , Interesting things."
