Episode 42
The head of the Chuna clan opened his mouth.
“In that case, the Chuna Party will no longer ask about the identity of Sogongja.”
Her judgment was quite refreshing.
On the other hand, the acupuncturist began to persistently delve into Jin Cheon-hee’s medical skills.
“Doesn’t the head of the medicinal plant have anything to say?”
At those words, the head of the herbal medicine department laughed empty-handedly.
“I haven’t lived my whole life as a vassal of the Zhuge family. This old woman has been single all her life, and isn’t it wrong for Gakju to get married as well? “But now that you have brought in a student who looks like a rice cake toad, it’s so cute that I’m dying.”
“Hey, I guess I’ve already gotten over it.”
The bedding owner clicked his tongue. Then, this time he asked the leader of the military leader.
“How do you feel about the military leader?”
“What kind of bastard leader are you when you come here with a master of fireworks? “Please just let me retire.”
“….”
“It seems like this old lady is the only one who is against it.”
The discussion continued for a long time after that.
One thing was certain: the atmosphere became much calmer after Yoo Ho vouched for Jin Cheon-hee.
Yuho’s trust seemed to be that high.
In the end, the head of the acupuncture shop, who had been struggling alone until the end, gave up his stubbornness.
“Then let me conclude. A new party, Busuldang, will be established in the future, and Jin Cheon-hee, the head of Busuldang, will create a book on the Busuldang, provide education within the council, and conduct verification.”
“I follow your orders.”
That’s how the meeting ended.
* * *
On the night after the meeting, Jin Cheon-hee could not sleep for a long time.
That’s four hours of sleep a day. Normally, I would fall asleep as soon as I buried the back of my head in the pillow. But for some reason, today something was stuck in my solar plexus and I couldn’t come down.
‘Oh, that won’t work.’
Eventually, Jin Cheon-hee came out.
It was because I wondered if I could fall asleep if I used my body a little.
When I came out, stars were blooming like buckwheat flowers in the pitch-black sky.
Jin Cheon-hee recalled a novel she read when she was young. It really felt like the black sky was filled with the scent of buckwheat flowers.
I was thinking about taking the Samjaebobeop method with the mind of Bongpyeong Heo Saengwon when I suddenly noticed that the light was on in the conference room.
‘Who doesn’t sleep at this hour?’
As I walked toward the conference room, I heard voices.
“Hee worked hard. “Children have become entangled in the inner thoughts of adults.”
“The leaders of the House of Representatives were not ordinary bettors either. “Didn’t you all plan to attract the idiot to your party?”
“Except for Yakjaedangju, that is.”
“I guess that’s because he noticed that the bastard didn’t have much ability in medicine. “Actually, I admit to the bastard’s destruction skills, but other than that, it’s like a blank slate, isn’t it?”
“But the learning speed is incredibly fast. Even at the age of three, I could not have acquired knowledge so quickly…”
“Is this true, master? To that extent…”
“Haha. Of course, I also had a reputation for being a world-class technician, and in fact, my medical skills improved faster than others. But… if it comes to just memorizing it, Hee is probably better than me.”
‘Master is painting my face with gold. ‘My face is getting hot.’
Jin Cheonhee thought so as she listened to the voice.
“I didn’t know it would be that bad.”
“Besides, I already have the necessary sense as a doctor, so acupuncture will soon reach that level. And everyone knows it. That’s why all the heads of the family were surprised and became so greedy.”
“So, from the point of view of the head of the Yakjae clan, it would have been more advantageous to continue the relationship after making the master independent as Busul party.”
“From her perspective, you could say it was a choice for Yakjaedang.”
“Maybe that’s why it was the bedding owner who didn’t give up until the very end. “The master of the army must have been jealous of the young master’s speed of achievement, so he went out of his way to ask for his retirement.”
“No, it seemed like you really wanted to retire?”
“Are you holding a council meeting for a day or two? “Master, will the people who have served the Zhuge family for generations just throw a tantrum?”
Zhugelin’s small laughter was heard.
“okay. yes. It is our intention that even the sword-wielding leader uses tricks. Originally, I would have reluctantly asked Jin Cheon-hee to teach me directly. “Since the master of Hwagyeong is the person you serve, wouldn’t it be good for you to teach martial arts yourself?”
“You know it well, but you say that. In the end, I quietly stepped in and put a stop to it.”
Is that why it came out like that in the first place?
I just thought they were being suspicious because the child was unfamiliar with the fundamentals of unproven medical techniques.
The head of the acupuncture shop seemed to be suspicious of Jin Cheon-hee until the end, so he thought it was natural that he had not yet trusted her.
But it seems that wasn’t actually the case.
“The person who truly had no regrets was probably Lord Chuna. “After he stabbed me once and confirmed that I, the Commander-in-Chief, was behind him, he let go.”
“If you step forward, doesn’t that mean that’s what I mean? “Everyone noticed.”
“Still, the bedding owner couldn’t give up.”
“Isn’t the bedding room a place that is already short of workers? Although we have the highest percentage among the members of the National Assembly, we are still lacking, so I told you everything. Also, wasn’t our Hee a little better? “I must be very coveted.”
‘Hey. They all said that a really smart snake was a really smart snake.’
At that time, the two people stopped talking.
Even though he was quite far away, he seemed to have noticed Jin Cheon-hee’s presence.
If you run away from here, it will only look weirder. Jin Cheonhee cleared his throat on purpose. Then, Jin Cheon-hee was called from inside.
“You’re welcome. “What are you doing at this late hour?”
“Because I can’t sleep.”
Jin Cheon-hee said that and went inside.
Master and Yuho were sitting there alone.
Looking at the bamboo books and books lying around, it seemed like he was sorting out today’s meeting.
The corners of Master’s eyes gently curved as he looked at Jin Tianxi.
“Wait and see. “I’ll make you some tea to help you sleep.”
“Oh my, master. Stay safe. “Soin will cook it for you.”
Yuho went outside to make tea after trying to stop the teacher from making it for him.
Suddenly, Jin Cheon-hee noticed that a teacup was also placed in front of the teacher.
In the past, I would not have known what herbs this tea was made of.
However, Jin Cheon-hee realized what kind of herb was contained just by the scent.
‘It’s a tea that helps you sleep and clear your brain.’
Master had no intention of sleeping at all.
Even if there is an ingredient that clears the brain, it is only a temporary effect.
It’s just a matter of putting off a good night’s sleep until tomorrow, but it can’t make the fatigue go away.
Ultimately, people need to sleep. Especially a patient like you.
‘I want to say something…’
The words keep lingering on my tongue.
This was because I now realized how heavy the responsibility of Uigakju was.
“Hey, is there something you want to say?”
Jin Cheonhee smiled awkwardly.
“Master, how about we share some tea together?”
“Do you mean the sleep tea you are drinking or the sleep tea I am drinking?”
Although he spoke in a childlike tone, there was a bone in his words.
“Either way is fine, so I hope we can drink the same tea together.”
“This is so difficult. “Because I really want to put you to sleep when you’re still young.”
“I’m glad you feel the same way. “Master.”
“After attending the meeting, my speaking skills only improved.”
Master laughed slightly. Then he stroked Jin Cheonhee’s head.
“It’s a big deal. No matter what you say, it’s just good. I guess this is what it means to have a disciple in a river. “I am worried that this teacher is not able to severely scold you for not being able to sleep due to his insensitivity.”
“….”
“Heeya.”
Master’s voice rang through the night.
“yes. “Master.”
“What does Uigak mean to you?”
It was a difficult question.
I wondered what he knew, having only spent so long at Uigak, but it seemed like Master wanted to hear an answer, including even that.
Jin Cheon-hee pondered and pondered before speaking with difficulty.
“For me, I think of Uigak as a watercolor painting in the river.”
“Neither the mountains nor the sea. Watercolors from the river? When you say watercolor, isn’t it a place where water droplets are gathered? “Why do you think that?”
“If we compare human life to water, wouldn’t it be that we are born in the mountains and then flow to the sea and die? And the sea turns into rain again and falls on the mountains. The river is in the middle. “The enemy are evil beings that block the waterway.”
“Uigak is a gathering of bad guys blocking the waterway.”
“By their very nature, enemies are people who only get angry when they start a fight with everything that happens next to them. And they just extort money and valuables.”
At those words, Master burst out laughing.
“okay. Money and valuables are also important. “It’s important.”
The Master seemed to like the disciple’s answer and stroked the disciple’s head even harder.
“Heeya.”
“Yes, Master.”
“If Uigak is called Suchae, then as the leader of one of them, you become the leader of Sujeok. “Is that why you can’t sleep?”
“For some reason, my chest was congested and it was difficult to breathe.”
“That’s how it should be. That’s the right thing to do. As a doctor, I only have to take responsibility for the life of the patient in front of me. But Uidangju is different. They must take responsibility for the lives of all patients in the hospital. That’s why all the party leaders are desperate.”
Master paused for a moment and stroked Jin Tianxi’s head.
“…He has a strong sense of pride and rarely shows his voice on the outside.”
If so, how heavy will be the shoulders of the Uigakju in charge of the Uigakdang?
Jin Tianxi’s eyes looked at Master’s teacup. It was a little larger and heavier than an ordinary teacup.
Jin Cheon-hee pondered the meaning for a long time.
Soon, I felt Yuho’s popularity.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Master.”
“Why?”
“Cold tea has no taste. “Wouldn’t it be nice to drink freshly brewed warm tea?”
Still, since such a teacher was also a patient, Jin Cheon-hee recommends his own.
“Are you saying we should have tea and go back together?”
“The night sky is bright, so it wouldn’t be a good time to walk together. The stars are so beautiful. Master. “Like buckwheat flowers.”
Jin Cheon-hee persistently spoke, recalling that phrase from a novel she read when she was young.
In the end, Master smiled bitterly and said:
“I can’t help it when you say that. i get it. “Let’s walk together and look at the stars.”
“Drink some warm tea.”
“okay. “Let’s drink some warm tea.”
A smile barely appeared on the corner of Jin Cheonhee’s stiff mouth.
“I will follow. “Master.”
“There are no gaps.”
“I’m also the head of Uigak, so I can’t be sloppy.”
“Hahaha, it’s cute, but there’s still a long way to go. There is a lot to learn from General Yu. Even in private, you will have a hard time if you want to be called Confucius instead of Master.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
As a non-military person, he had no pride. I planned to learn anything that would be helpful.
But before that, I had to pour some sleep-inducing tea into Master’s teacup.
That was the most important thing to Jin Cheon-hee right now.
