Although Ito Kyo always shakes a fan in his hand and is a bit pretentious, Chen Xiao can feel that he is not the kind of playboy from an aristocratic family who has no scheming ideas. There is always an occasional look in this young man's eyes. There was a hint of feminine shrewdness, but it was concealed very carefully.
All the way down the mountain, Chen Xiao looked at Ito Kyo and said, "I still have some things to go out for."
Ito Kyo immediately laughed: "I have nothing to do anyway, so just go with Chen Xiaojun. I grew up in Kobe, and I am familiar with everything. I can accompany you to visit everywhere."
Chen Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it and thought, I'm going to see Poseidon. If you cause trouble yourself, don't blame me.
As expected, Tatsuichi Toryu is a famous family in Japan. After Ito Kyo gave some instructions, the two of them walked to the gate of the official residence. There was already a black luxury car outside the door, and several young disciples had already changed into uniforms. Standing at the door in a black suit, waiting for the two of them to come out, he immediately bent down and bowed at 90 degrees, with uniform movements.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Do you Japanese like to talk about pomp and circumstance like this? It doesn't look like an Ito-ryu, but like the Yamaguchi-gumi."
Ito Kyo curled his lips: "It's funny... But how can something like the Yamaguchi-gumi be compared with my Kamiucha family."
With that said, he invited Chen Xiao to get in the car.
It was still early before the sun set, so Ito Kyo simply acted as a tour guide and led Chen Xiao around Kobe by car. In Chen Xiao's opinion, Japan's so-called scenic spots and historic sites are just average. He is used to seeing the majesty and grandeur of domestic ancient buildings. It is really hard to be shocked when seeing those so-called historic sites in Japan.
However, Ito Kyo is extremely smart, funny in conversation, and extraordinary in behavior. Moreover, he deliberately tries to please Chen Xiao and is very measured in doing things. Not only will he not be annoying, but he will give people a feeling of spring breeze. .
As time passed, Chen Xiao gradually became more fond of him, but he would take out his fan and wave it around from time to time, which was a bit funny.
Accompanied by Ito Kyo, Chen Xiao finally tasted the authentic and famous Kobe beef. It's just that he is not really a gourmet, and he has no taste for food. He just feels that apart from the slightly tender and delicious taste, it is not much different from other beef he has eaten.
In the evening, Chen Xiao arrived at the meeting place agreed with Poseidon.
I just looked around, but couldn't find the figure of Poseidon. Finally, I saw a line of handwriting carved on a simple stone street lamp by the roadside.
"I went to Mount Fuji to see the snow. I'll see you when I get back."
The handwriting was crooked and scrawled, but it destroyed a simple-looking lamppost in that paragraph.
When Chen Xiao saw this, he felt relieved. That woman who acted unscrupulously was really troublesome around her, so it would be best if she left for the time being.
At this moment, Chen Xiao also learned from Ito Kyo that Zhang Xiaotao had gone back alone with the prince. As for the fireworks and peacocks, they have already left.
Chen Xiao also tried to use words to trick Ito Kyo, wanting to find out why Tang Xin wanted to keep him here for two days, but Ito Kyo was very tight-lipped and would easily change the subject after a few casual jokes.
"Since it's getting late and I have nothing to do anyway, how about I serve as a host and invite Chen Xiaojun to taste some authentic local sake?"
Ito Kyo took out the folding fan and shook it again. However, the sun had set at this moment and the temperature was very cool. His behavior seemed a bit artificial.
Chen Xiao was noncommittal, and Ito Kyo laughed and pulled him into the car.
It can be seen that in Kobe, Kamichatsu Ittoryu seems to be quite powerful.
Ito Kyo took Chen Xiao to a remote place. When I got off the car, I saw a wide cloth curtain in front of me. On both sides were palace lanterns imitating the Chinese Han and Tang Dynasties. There was also faint Japanese-style silk and bamboo music coming from inside.
Lifting up the curtain cage, you will see a screen embroidered with exquisite patterns, with golden edges and gold threads. It is obviously a very precious object.
The few young disciples of the Shangchen family behind them stayed outside and did not dare to follow them. After the two of them walked in, they heard a rush of footsteps coming from the screen, and then they saw a woman wearing a gray kimono, walking towards them. He ran out in small steps and came to the two of them. Yingying knelt on the ground and said in a soft but not greasy voice: "Master Ito!"
This woman looked to be in her thirties, and she spoke Japanese. Chen Xiao couldn't understand it, but judging from her extremely respectful attitude towards Ito, she thought that Ito Kyo was probably a regular guest here.
Ito Kyo was naturally polite and gentle to Chen Xiao, but he did not lie to others. There was no smile on his face. He just gave a faint order and pointed at Chen Xiao beside him.
The woman in kimono raised her head and glanced at Chen Xiao cautiously, bowed quickly again, hurriedly said a few words, then stood up, bent down and respectfully led the two of them in.
When I walked inside, I found a different world.
An extremely exquisitely built courtyard, although the area is not very large, there is a green bamboo forest planted in one corner of the courtyard, with a pond in the center. The evening wind blows through, making the bamboo forest rustle, and the phosphorescence on the pond fluctuates. It's also quite elegant when going up.
Obviously, the people who built this courtyard had their own concerns.
And around this square courtyard, on the four corridors, the carvings on the eaves and walls are extremely exquisite. The kimono woman led the two of them into a doorway next to the east corridor, opened the door, and bowed to invite them in.
The room inside was in a typical Japanese style. Chen Xiao took off his shoes and got on the tatami, sitting opposite Ito Kyo across a small table.
Not long after, two cups of fragrant tea filled with mist were served.
And Ito Kyo is really a wonderful person with excellent eloquence. He casually told Chen Xiao some local anecdotes and ancient legends about Kobe, which made the atmosphere very harmonious. And he was very careful and asked someone to bring a soft cushion to Chen Xiao, for fear that Chen Xiao, a Chinese, would not be used to sitting on Japanese tatami.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the room. The room was not very big. There were paper movable wall doors on the left and right. Looking towards Tsukuru, they saw the bamboo forest in the yard. Looking to the right, they saw a semi-open door. The fence, outside is a calm lake. The scenery is excellent.
After a while, two girls with pretty features in kimonos came up with plates and served exquisite Japanese dishes one after another. Ito Kyo was not polite. He picked up a pair of beautifully carved bamboo chopsticks and pointed at the delicacies in front of him. Then he looked at Chen Xiao and said with a smile: "You Chinese have a saying to describe a good life: I would rather eat without meat than live in a home." There is bamboo! Haha... After I learned this sentence, I thought about it carefully for a long time, and found that it is really wonderful. But in my opinion, if we can do it; eat meat, drink wine, and live with bamboo - then Even if it’s perfect.”
Chen Xiao originally didn't like eating sashimi very much, but the sashimi here was very good. Ito Kyo was actually extremely knowledgeable, and even introduced Chen Xiao to the knowledge of sashimi. Only then did Chen Xiao know that there are so many things to pay attention to when making sashimi: for example, there are many changes in the way of slicing, and the different ways of cutting hair. , can also affect dry mouth. But it's not like I thought before, just get a fish and cut it up casually.
At this moment, Ito Kyo has completely lost the appearance of the ambitious young warrior with brows that he saw in Senryu Palace during the day. He behaves, drinks and laughs, and looks quite like a dandy from an aristocratic family.
After a while, two exquisite celadon bottles were delivered. Ito Kyo suddenly became energetic and said with a smile: "Chen Xiaojun, the wine here is famous throughout Japan! The name of this store is 'Bamboo Spring', but It's because there is an underground spring behind this store. The water quality of the spring is very good. The wine brewed from this spring water is the most refreshing for dry mouth. However, the water of the underground spring is not available all year round, but only in fixed seasons every year. The water will come out before the water comes out. You came at the right time this time. If you come in the dry season in another two months, you will only be able to drink the Chenjiu stored in the wine cellar. Although it is also brewed from this spring water, But the taste of Chenjiu is a bit different."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and was about to reach for the bottle, but Ito Kyo held a fan and gently blocked Chen Xiao's hand across the table, with a smile in his eyes: "Don't be anxious, such a good wine, but not such a drink. of."
After saying that, he took the folding fan and tapped it three times on the corner of the table.
Then Chen Xiao heard a burst of light footsteps coming from behind the sliding door next to him. Through the thin translucent door curtain, several slender figures were vaguely visible behind the sliding door.
As the sliding door was gently pushed back, the previously kimonoed woman was already kneeling and sitting outside. She bowed gently, with a respectful smile on her face, and said something to Ito Kyo.
Behind her, several young girls with exquisite looks wearing various kimonos sat there on their knees, with lowered eyebrows and indescribable meekness and gentleness in their eyebrows.
When Chen Xiao saw this scene, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that this was originally a place for drinking flower wine? This Ito Kyo actually brought himself to a place like this to entertain people. Isn't it too underestimated
Ito Kyo saw Chen Xiao frowning and immediately guessed what he was thinking. Without explaining, he just looked at the girls outside and nodded.
The kimono woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief, clapped her hands, and the four girls walked in carefully one after another, and sat two each next to Chen Xiao and Ito Kyo.
Two charming girls sat down next to Chen Xiao. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable, his movements became stiff, and he wanted to get up and leave. But after all, I spent a day with Ito Kyo. Ito Kyo is funny and very polite to me. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smile. It's hard to fall out when someone treats you so politely.
After working hard for a while, I saw that the two girls did not come close to me, and I felt relieved.
Chen Xiao sat between the two girls and felt the fragrance of the girl next to him. Looking sideways, he saw that the two gentle faces were full of submission and gentleness, with light eyelashes and delicate skin. Although there were some traces of makeup, it was obvious , are also carefully selected people.
Ito Kyo noticed Chen Xiao's embarrassment, smiled slightly, and signaled with his eyes. The girl on Chen Xiao's left immediately picked up a piece of salmon with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The girl on the right immediately poured wine. , and personally brought the wine glass to Chen Xiao's mouth.
A slender little hand held a blue and white porcelain wine glass in front of him, and he smelled a gentle fragrance, but he couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of the wine or the fragrance of the girl's little hands.
Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Ito Kyo across from him smiled and said, "Chen Xiaojun, don't think too much. This is not a tacky place. The girls who accompany the drinks here are all carefully selected. Make sure that everyone is a pure virgin. Only such a clean girl, serving this wine with her delicate and clean hands, has a unique flavor."
He spoke in Chinese, and the four girls in the room were stunned for a moment. They probably didn't expect that there were Chinese guests here.
After he explained this, Chen Xiao felt relieved. It turned out that it was really just a matter of serving food and drink, but it was not a vulgar place for romance. He was relieved, but after all, he was a little embarrassed. He only took a sip of the wine glass brought by the girl next to him and stopped drinking more.
On the other hand, Ito Kyo, who was opposite, was sitting there with ease. The girl on the left was picking up food, and the girl on the right was serving wine. After eating and drinking, a pair of small hands held a plain white handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of his mouth.
The girls who accompany the food here have obviously been carefully trained. Guests do not need to speak, but just look at the dish and it will be brought to your mouth immediately. They are meticulous and considerate.
Although there is no real vulgar romance, when a delicate girl feeds you and gives you wine, her body will inevitably touch you gently. The slightly ambiguous softness and fragrance are the most subtle.
This kind of enjoyment is quite enough. But when Chen Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
This Ito Kyo seems to be accustomed to such a gentle and luxurious life. It's just that as a martial arts practitioner, if you live too much like this, your bones will become soft. How can you still retain your martial arts spirit
Looking at Ito Kyo, who was enjoying the look on his face, he was reminded of the way he looked eager and majestic when he talked about the deeds of General Tian in the past in Senryu Palace today. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
In the end, which one is the true face of Ito Kyo
