Episode 28
Cheongsong School.
The most famous school in Agyang was Cheongsong School.
It was a place where the children of famous officials and wealthy merchants went, and only the children of families with considerable influence in Akyang gathered there.
There, the medalist was famous for having served as a bachelor in the imperial family, and there was also a record of producing numerous people who passed the exam in the past, although not every year.
The Cheongsong Academy’s medalist Gamwon looked at Hwa So-mi with a stern expression in front of Dan Woo-hyeon.
“Hmm… Is this child going to school?”
“Yes.”
Gamwon raised his eyebrows at the informal language that suddenly came out.
Even if you eat a lot, you look like you’re in your mid-twenties. But first of all, I didn’t get angry.
Just looking at the clothes I was wearing, I felt like I was living a decent life. Not on the adult side, but on the child side. What would the adults say? It looks like they don’t have any money and they feel guilty.
In fact, I didn’t have the slightest desire to accept it, but I had no choice but to accept it due to the influence of the wise spirit, whether I knew it or not.
‘Who on earth are these people to come to the prefectural level?…’
Currently, there were two places in the Honam region that could be said to have great power.
One was Wang Bu, a world-class person, and the other was Hong Won-chang, a prefectural leader who had recently risen to prominence by completely destroying the Heukdohoe.
If he did something that seemed hateful to him, he might not be able to just laugh it off, so even though Gamwon felt sick to his stomach, he had no choice but to treat him with caution.
He quietly looked at Hwa So-mi.
It was quite cute to see him standing behind a man named Dan Woo-hyeon and sticking his head out.
When I grow up, I think I’ll hear people say I’m quite a beauty.
However, I doubted whether I would have the money to attend school.
There were many people who dressed their children in nice clothes but actually had no money at home.
In particular, this is the most expensive school in Agyang, and if you don’t have money, you can’t listen to the request no matter how much it is from the wise man.
“It’s ten silver coins a month. Is
that okay?”
He asked with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
The average worker receives two or three silver nyang per month. Even the fortune tellers in the guesthouse were wondering whether they would receive one nyang or not, so 10 nyang would have been an enormous amount of money.
“It’s ten silver coins… That’s expensive.”
Dan Woo-hyeon had recently realized how much money was worth.
If I saved ten silver coins, it could be enough to cover living expenses for several months.
However, spending money for pixel beauty was not a waste at all.
I searched through my arms while facing Gamwon’s piercing gaze. He took out a golden coin from his purse and placed it on the table.
“Is this okay?”
“Well… of course.”
Gamwon’s voice has completely changed.
Did you ever think that Geumja would come out so suddenly?
The value of gold coins varied depending on the time, but each piece easily exceeded ten silver coins.
If this was real, it would mean paying two or three months’ worth at one time at the current market price.
Gamwon’s gaze focused on Geumja placed on the table.
I wanted to take a bite.
Is this real or fake?
But I held on tight.
Because you shouldn’t do something that may seem light in front of someone who may be a greater person than you thought.
“Hmm nothing! Don’t even worry! “This reduction in personnel will make your daughter a child with such outstanding knowledge that even those who passed the civil service examination will easily look at her.”
Dan Woo-hyeon chuckled without realizing it.
It was funny how a person’s behavior could change so much in an instant.
Moreover, bending your stiff neck in front of money that is not even a force?
I heard that he was a famous bachelor even in the imperial family, but I was disappointed.
He shook his head and opened his mouth.
“There is no need for that. “As long as this child can have fun, I will be satisfied.”
Gamwon flinched at the indifferent gaze.
Although it was only for a moment, when we made eye contact, goosebumps appeared all over my body. I broke into a cold sweat, as if I were a weak animal standing alone in front of a huge beast.
Since the prefect had recommended the child, there must be a good reason and it seemed unusual, so I was thinking of accepting the child.
I wondered if the child would ever be able to adapt, but that was a thought for later.
Right now, taking care of the money in front of me was the priority.
“Are you really going to go to school starting tomorrow?”
Hwa So-mi, who returned to the manor, looked up at Dan Woo-hyeon, who was sitting on the veranda, and asked. Actually, I want to go, but I’m not uneasy.
At first glance, the academy was a place where children from wealthy families would attend, and the person who was a medalist also seemed to be quite strict.
I wondered if I was causing trouble for no reason, and my anxious feelings appeared in my clear eyes.
Dan Woo-hyeon stroked Hwa So-mi’s head.
I know better than anyone that you feel anxious about always being attached and then falling off.
However, since it was inevitable that the child would have to be alone forever, the only option was to go to school, but it was the parents’ duty to provide a path for the child to walk alone.
“do not worry. You will definitely have a fun time with good friends.”
“yes!”
Hwa So-mi smiled brightly and nodded willingly. These are words spoken by Dan Woo-hyeon, not anyone else. Without a doubt, everything will turn out well and only good things will happen like now. Hwa So-mi smiled and turned her back.
Now that I’ve relaxed, I’m ready to play.
It runs vigorously toward one side of the yard. I don’t know what he was going to do, but he seemed quite excited.
“It won’t be easy, right?”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon heard a voice in his ears.
Although I might have been surprised, I naturally turned my head. I don’t know how long she had been there, but I saw Namgung Sohye taking a small breath.
“Are you still there?”
“We saw it this morning too.”
“I didn’t know much about it because it didn’t exist. sorry.”
“joy! Are you really okay with that? Cheongsong Academy is quite famous in Agyang…”
“Is it that big?”
Namgung Sohye clenched her eyebrows and shook her head. This person doesn’t seem to know what the world is like yet. The more famous the school, the more children from other families flock there, and the more territorial the area was.
It was important to know whose recommendation you got into, but it was like a small political arena where what kind of background you had had the biggest impact on the children.
The pixel art is quite cute, but if the background is like this, bad things are bound to happen.
“You think the kids there won’t like it? These are children who bully weak people and play mischievous pranks from an early age…”
“Have you experienced it?”
“Have you experienced it?”
Namgung Sohye frowned at Ami.
In the Anhui Province area, the Namgung family was more famous and powerful than Wang Bu, but when Namgung So-hye was attending school, she deliberately changed her name and did not move around outside the school, so no one knew that she was a member of the Namgung family.
Because of that, I suffered severe bullying.
Children who seemed to live in the Anhui Province area frequently started fights and harassed me, and sometimes even swore harshly to the point of going too far
.
She patiently endured the humiliation.
There was a strict command from my grandfather that the strong should know how to protect the weak.
Then, on the day when what I had been holding in again and again burst out.
‘It was very annoying…’
Namgung So-hye smiled awkwardly. She beat up not only the children attending the school, but also the medalist who was just watching her being bullied every day.
Although she was only ten years old, no one could stop her from systematically learning martial arts.
Thanks to this, I had a hard time finding another academy.
“Well, it’s similar. Anyway, it’s not very good. Wouldn’t it be better to send it somewhere else? If I had more money, I could invite a talented bachelor to my house…”
It wasn’t that Dan Woo-hyeon hadn’t thought about such things. In fact, it may be better to stand in Dan Woo-hyeon’s position because there are fewer things to worry about.
But isn’t Hwaso-mi like a bird trapped in a cage?
Only by seeing the wide world and experiencing many things can you grow into a true human being. If you only try to avoid hard work, you will never grow properly.
“No need to worry. “That child will get through it on his own.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to think about that when you’re a little older? “That kid is secretly soft-hearted and kind, so he might fall for me and get into big trouble.” Dan Woo-hyeon quickly turned his head and looked at Hwa So-mi.
On one side of the yard, he was moving his hands as if he was playing with Jang Sam-tae.
“But what is that again? Tai Chi? The tour is similar, but somehow strange. What on earth would you do with something like that?…”
As Jang Sam-tae moves, Hwa So-mi moves along. Rather than acting, it’s just something you do for fun.
Still, the two seemed quite satisfied.
Dan Woo-hyeon glanced at Namgung So-hye.
“Pride is blinding your eyes, so you can’t see anything clearly.”
” yes?”
“Somi is a stronger child than you think. “What Somi can’t solve, I can do for her.”
“…Because they are parents?”
“Yes, because I am that child’s parent.”
“That’s natural. But are you confident that you will not give in to great power?”
Namgung Sohye asked.
This man doesn’t even seem to have mastered martial arts.
It seemed like all I had was this manor and the people in it. Will such a person be able to stop the backstabbing of famous Segana officials in the Honam region?
The answer was no.
‘It doesn’t really matter to me, but Namgung Sohye sighed softly and sat down on the veranda.
Although Hwa So-mi is cute, she is only staying here for a short time and will not return once the work is over.
She just rolled her eyes and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon sitting next to her. His eyes, which were extremely dull, were still following Hwa So-mi, and his tightly closed mouth slowly opened.
“Even if this entire central circle becomes my enemy, I will protect that child.”
“The ambition is good.”
“Aspiration… haha.”
Dan Woohyun laughed.
He was sincere.
Even if the entire midfield becomes enemies again due to Hwa So-mi’s mistake, Dan Woo-hyun will not hesitate to take Hwa So-mi’s side and block everyone.
No one will be able to do anything about that child. As long as this Dan Woo-hyeon is alive,
flash-!
It was only for a moment, but his eyes turned red. Those red eyes that only those born with a thousand-year-old nature scanned the world.
Creepy-!
‘What…what is it?’
Namgung So-hye, who was looking somewhere else for a moment, felt goosebumps rising. Although it was only for a moment, the air was oppressed and the wind was suffocating.
My body was shaking and cold sweat was running down my face.
‘What on earth?’
The phenomenon whose meaning was unknown soon disappeared.
Because it was such a fleeting moment, it was difficult to grasp anything.
She got up and looked around
.
“Bagh……”
O lg .
“what?”
“I just felt a strange energy….”
“I didn’t feel anything.” Namgung Sohye swallowed dry saliva.
If so, it means that only he felt that momentum. Could it be that the master hiding in Akyang fired it?
Then it was clear that it was around here.
Namgung Sohye clenched her fists.
‘I will definitely find it.’
She promised again.
As the head of the Bonghwangdan and a member of the Namgungse family.
Because mission failure is impossible.
