Episode 153
“Oh… it’s so big…” Ho-Yeonji was speechless as he looked at the manor.
I’ve been to Agyang several times, but I never thought there would be a house like this nearby.
When I was young, I went along when they were delivering alcohol to the imperial palace, and it seemed like it was built even more magnificently than that.
What particularly caught the eye was the large pine tree located in the very center of the yard.
Just looking at the figure standing upright, as if it had been guarding this land for a long time, felt intimidating.
Even though it is only one tree at most.
［Honam Danga］ The signboard with beautiful handwriting also caught her attention.
I don’t know whose handwriting it was, but it seemed as if the dragon was alive and moving.
The reason she stopped hastily and could not go inside was because of this intimidating feeling.
“Come in.”
However, Dan Woo-hyeon opened the door without any hesitation.
The scenery revealed inside the open door shocked her even more.
“You… what on earth
are you doing?”
“He is a father raising a child.”
“…Oh really?”
In her eyes, he was no ordinary father raising a child.
At this level, it was not strange to have several wives and concubines in the royal family. However, the sound coming from inside was quieter than expected.
I couldn’t hear anything except the sound of a woman cheering.
“Are you here?”
At that time, a small child came running towards Danwoohyeon.
He jumped right in front of me and jumped into my arms, and Dan Woo-hyeon lightly picked him up.
“Okay, say hello. “As of today, I have become a gourmet.”
“Hello, I’m Dansomi!”
“Yes, I am Hoyeonji.”
Seeing the child in Dan Woo-hyeon’s arms raising his hand in greeting, Ho Yeon-ji’s heart pounded without even realizing it. I felt like I was falling.
‘What is this?’
How can a child’s greeting and smile have such ridiculous destructive power? Without realizing it, I was attracted to his cute appearance.
“Ehehe, Somi learned martial arts from Grandpa Namgung today!”
“Haha, how was it?”
“Mmm! I’m not sure yet… but it seems easier than what my dad taught me…”
“Martial arts are a means to protect your precious body, so learn as much as possible.”
‘Grandpa Namgoong?’ Even Ho Yeon-ji, who lived almost completely disconnected from the world, knew very well the weight of the name Namgung.
‘Oh, really, that Namgung family?’
The main axis of the Eight Great Families and the founder of the Emperor of Swords.
Why would someone like Namgungse be in a place like this?
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, thinking that it didn’t make sense.
“Hmm, is that him? “The person you mentioned comes from a family that is good at making alcohol.”
“Yes, I went there and found myself alone.”
At that time, an old man with a rather thin build slowly approached me. I looked up and down Hoyeonji as if observing with interest.
I trembled, but strangely, the gaze was not unpleasant.
Perhaps it was because there was no flirtatious intention or sinister feeling in those eyes.
“But do you wash?”
“four!’?”
Hoyeonji couldn’t help but be taken aback by the word that came out of nowhere.
Now that I think about it, I haven’t been able to wash properly because the weather has gotten cold recently. Even if we could fetch river water, there were no large barrels to heat it, and even making a fire with firewood was a luxury.
I sniffed to see if there was a body odor.
“How do you know what your body smells like?”
“Is that so?”
“Being grumpy doesn’t give a good impression. “I’m going to dress up a bit, but…”
Sadohak clicked his tongue and turned his head.
I saw Namgung Sohye wiping her sweat after completing her training from afar.
“Like that, like this, they’re all just strange things.”
“Never mind!”
“…Ugh!”
Unlike Ho Yeon-ji, who screamed out of embarrassment, Namgung So-hye swallowed a moan and turned around.
The fact that she rushed out with a bright red face indicated that she also recognized that she had not washed properly recently.
“Mujin-! “You guy!” Sadohak suddenly visited Moojin Kwon. Sigh!
In an instant, Kwon Moo-jin appeared in the empty air.
He bowed his head to Sadohak and Dan Woohyeon.
Hoennji trembled at the sudden appearance of the figure.
“Did you call me?”
“Give this girl a separate house and clean up. “It smells so bad that I can’t stay with you.”
“…yes? “Do you want me to wash it?”
“I can wash it myself!” Hoyeonji blushed and screamed.
His tone was full of embarrassment, and he looked down without even being able to raise his gaze properly.
“Hehe, Sohye has some spare clothes, so I guess I can give them to her.”
Another kind-hearted old man came closer.
‘Why are there so many old people in this manor?’
Ho Yeonji turned his head to look at the old man and shook his head.
“Oh no. “I’m grateful just for letting me stay…”
“It’s because your clothes smell.” I couldn’t even resist Dan Woo-hyeon’s sincere words and bowed my head deeply.
His fist was clenched so tightly that it seemed as if he was going to hit him.
But without being able to do anything, I followed Kwon Moo-jin and headed toward the annex. Her back was very weak as she trudged along.
“You’re an interesting kid. Is Hoyeonse a direct descendant of ?”
“It seemed so. “It would have been nice if there were people who made alcohol… but it’s a shame.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled bitterly as he received Nam Gung-cheon’s words.
A little bit of alcohol that I drank in Hoyeonsega.
It fell far short of Dan Woo-hyeon’s expectations. Perhaps she knew about it too and couldn’t bring herself to give it to her parents, so she threw it away.
“But I like physiognomy. “This is a prize that will be a great success.”
“His personality wasn’t harsh and he was fine. This is a child with great expectations for the future. “Hehe heh.”
Namgungcheon stroked his beard and looked at the back of Hoyeonji who was disappearing. Although he has a scruffy appearance, the things on his face are not going anywhere.
I’m crouching now, but someday I’ll stand up.
Perhaps that was why Dan Woo-hyeon brought him there.
But strangely, the two people were silent.
As he looked away, Sadohak took a deep breath.
“Are you being a contemplative because you have nothing to do these days?”
“Oh no, that’s not it. If you just look at it, won’t it come out?”
“It’s not coming out? In my opinion, it’s just a beggar. “It smells… Can you see any facial expressions in that face?”
“Are you pretending to read heavenly records? “It’s interesting to see people’s physiognomy.”
Namgungcheon was speechless.
There was no way Dan Woo-hyeon of the Department of Sadohak could not have seen what he had seen, but when the two of them spoke like that, their faces turned red at the thought that they were showing off for no reason.
I fanned my hand to cool my heated face.
“These people are catching real people. This old man said something meaningless. But isn’t that completely wrong?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled. A pleasant wind blew.
“Haa…”
Hoyeonji couldn’t even remember the last time he soaked himself in hot water.
When winter came and it snowed, all the wood used for firewood got wet and no matter how much we dried it, the fire would not start well.
It became a far cry from washing my body naturally.
“Still, there’s no need to say it so openly…”
Hoyeonji gritted his teeth, remembering Sadohak’s grumpy face.
Of course… I know it’s embarrassing.
Hoyeonji sighed again and stood up. I wiped my body with the cloth I had prepared and quickly changed into the clothes Kwon Moo-jin brought.
It was a garment made of good silk.
Although it was light, it touched the skin smoothly.
I was surprised by that soft feeling.
How long has it been since I last wore clothes like this?
Except when I was young, I couldn’t even see it properly.
Sarreuk- Sarreuk-!
She went back to her room and looked at her reflection in Tokyo.
My skin was in disarray because I hadn’t taken care of it for a long time. My shoulders slumped as I remembered the image of the woman who owned these clothes.
“Are you okay there?”
Just as she was sighing longingly and lamenting her appearance as a woman, the door was carefully opened and there was a person sticking out their head.
Ho Yeon-ji, startled by this, retreated from Donggyeong and quickly bowed to greet him.
“Oh hello! My name is Hoyeonji…” The person who
opened the door and came in was the owner of this outfit.
The moment Ho Yeon-ji saw the woman’s face, he was enchanted by her beauty.
She boasted such overwhelming beauty that it made you wonder how there could be such a difference even though they were the same woman.
“Hoho, you don’t have to be so stiff. Do your clothes fit better than that?”
“Ah yes! “I think it’s an expensive outfit, but I’m just sorry.”
“are you okay. “Women should help each other.” When Namgoong Sohye smiled brightly, the room seemed to become brighter.
‘Is this human laughter?’
The appearance that captivated even women was almost like the legendary nine-tailed fox.
Thanks to this, I didn’t feel nervous.
“Still, I’m thankful… Thanks to you, I got to wear nice clothes like this.”
Yu…2”
Namgung So-hye, startled, opened her eyes wide.
‘ma’am…?’
It meant that he looked like a married person.
She had a blank expression as if she was shocked for a moment.
Namgung Sohye realized that the other person had misunderstood.
‘But who have you misunderstood me with?’
Then, only one person comes to mind.
The moment Dan Woo-hyeon’s face was pictured in her mind, Namgung So-hye waved her hand with a red face.
“No no! I am just a foodie here. “But… I don’t have that kind of relationship with Confucius.”
“to? is that so? I’m sure… W
I heard that he was the father of a child and I also saw a beautiful child. Of course, I thought the child’s mother would be there too.
And since the only woman he met here was Nam Gung So-hye, Ho Yeon-ji naturally guessed their relationship.
But seeing him deny it so vehemently made me feel like I was wrong.
“No, if not, I’m really sorry.”
“I’m even sorry… hehe…
Namgoong Sohye put her palm to her red cheek with a bright smile and muttered something unintelligible.
Because it was so small, I couldn’t hear it in detail, but it seemed like Dan Woohyun was saying something.
As I looked at that, the answer came to me.
‘I fell in love.’
Hoyeonji nodded, confident.
“Hey… are you okay?”
“ah! are you okay! The introduction was later than that, right? I’m Namgoong Sohye! As I just said, I am a guest at this manor. “We’re the only two grown women, so let’s get along!”
“I?”
At that moment, Ho Yeonji was so shocked that he was speechless.
Namgoong Sohye.
Is there anyone in Moorim who doesn’t know that name? The person who was recognized by the Murim Alliance with the body of a woman and became the youngest person to hold the position of Danju.
His skills were said to be the best among the late exponents.
I can’t believe that Namgung Sohye was the woman in front of me.
What kind of person is Dan Woo-hyeon that he lives with Namgung So-hye, a direct descendant of the Namgung family and who can rightly be called the most beautiful woman in the world?
Hoyeonji just stared blankly for a while.
