460 times. Thank you for being alive
.
My father had never told me anything about my mother.
“Do you know my mother?”
“I had been with your father before he took me as his second wife. That was the first and last time.”
“Ah yes…”
The disappointed young enemy’s shoulders drooped.
If so, that would have been all I heard when I met my father when I was six years old.
“Man’s destiny is so bizarrely intertwined. Baek Mi-joo tried so hard to raise the Waryongjang that your late father had built for your mother.”
“I see.”
I couldn’t help but agree with what Namgung Byeok said.
As a child, he stepped on his mother’s dream and finally got rid of it, so there is no such disrespect.
“When you think of marriage, your head is complicated. I don’t want to hear the sound of thieves, and I’m reluctant to let Yeon-yi sit in the inn, and I’m not even a guru.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I am. lol.”
“Your face resembles your mother’s.”
Namgung Byeok suddenly thought, ‘That’s why white rice wine seems to have bothered him even more’.
“Looking at how innocent you are, it seems like not only your face, but also your speed. That’s why…”
Namgung Byeok stopped talking and looked at Yeonjeokha blankly.
“yes?”
“How about recreating Waryongjang, which is your mother’s wish?”
“to? Are you a dragon chief? me?”
“Don’t you like to live leisurely too? I think it’s okay to get away from the world like a waryong. Just as your mother wished.”
The seasoned Namgung Byeok brought in Lee Buyong, his biological mother.
I’ve never seen Yeon Jeok-ha’s face, but I think that’s why it’s more affectionate.
Even if it wasn’t, it was tempting to have a thin ear.
If it had been his father Yeon Mu-ryong’s wish, he would have heard it with one ear and let it go.
But my mother is different.
No, on the contrary, he even had a sense of indebtedness to his mother, albeit weakly.
Because she died giving birth to herself.
Even so, he avoided an immediate answer that was related.
“I will think about it.”
“okay. There is no rush.”
Namgung Byeok only hinted at his rhyme, but did not urge an answer.
It is to decide the direction of life, so shouldn’t it be worthy of careful consideration?
As the conversation flowed into trivial daily life, Namgung Byeok said to Namgung Yeon and Yeon Jeok-ha.
“Only one thousand two remain, and the two of you go out. Aren’t there a lot of stories that have been pushed back in the meantime?”
“Father why me?”
“It’s because I’m afraid I’ll hold on to the enemy and stretch. Why do you hate being with your father?”
“Oh no. I’m not that stupid either.”
“Why did the guy who said no start shaking his butt? Sit tight.”
“Yes….”
At his father’s resolute words, Namgungcheon eventually had to give up the idea of burying him.
Namgungyeon and Yeonjeokha got up from their seats with confused faces.
Namgungcheon threw a word at Yeonjeokha who opened the door.
“Hey enemy, don’t go far.”
“Ah yes.”
After sending the two out first, Namgung Byeok secretly asked Namgungcheon.
“What do you think? Do you think Waryongjang suits the enemy?”
“Honestly, when my father first brought it up, he was shocked. I didn’t think about that at all because the enemy had something to do with Waryongjang.”
“I like that too.”
“But if it’s what my aunt wanted, I think it’ll be all right. As my father said, if the enemy resembles my aunt, then it seems like a good fit. Didn’t you buy an inn to hang out and eat? Life in the manor will be better if you have the wealth you have accumulated.”
“Wealth is overflowing to Yeoni, isn’t it? There should be some income from the Namyeon guesthouse.”
“But you don’t even take out your son-in-law?”
“You alone are enough for me to roll around in my house. I don’t see my son-in-law fooling around in the house. We have to take care of each other so that we can live well.”
“When did you say that I was rolling around? I work hard from morning until sunset.”
“It’s okay to roll around. If you want to lead Sega, you have to work hard from dawn to late at night.”
Namgungcheon couldn’t even make a sound at the bruise on the wall of Namgung.
It was because he knew that his father practiced swordsmanship at dawn and worked late at night.
It’s spring, but the weather is still chilly.
After going around the family of the Namgung Family, who is related to Namgung Yeon, they drank tea in Namgung Yeon’s room.
He wrapped his arms around the matched teacup and smirked.
Now, unlike before, I didn’t feel awkward or ashamed even if there wasn’t much conversation.
We know each other’s feelings, but more than that, it’s because we’ve gotten used to Namgung-yeon.
Namgung-yeon, who was quietly savoring the scent of tea, suddenly spoke.
“Tell me the story of Baekhwa Sangbang.”
“Are you kicked out?”
“No, after that. Seeing that I came with them, I feel like I’m joining them again, but Sangbang isn’t such a generous person. What happened?”
“Ah, once, the escorts came to me and argued with me, saying that I was annoying by following them around. That’s why they gave me a hard time with a broken bone.”
“and?”
“When I was sleeping on the street in Suhyeon, Jungyang Daeju and five escorts came to me in the middle of the night.”
At the word midnight, Namgungyeon’s eyes flashed.
It was clear that the escort of the upper ranks had moved in the middle of the night, that is, for the purpose of killing and killing.
“So I burned all of their hair. And I received 2,000 nyang as settlement money and shared it with the coachman.”
“I see.”
When Namgung-yeon’s expression did not ease, Yeonjeok-ha hurriedly gave an additional explanation.
“I got an apology from the clerk as well as the settlement money.”
“Baekseonhwa?”
“uh? How does your sister know his name? Are you famous?”
“Because it’s one of the upper reaches of the Namgung family. As the eldest daughter of Baek Han-saeng, I heard that she is good at discerning her own interests, but looking at what she did to you, it seems that is not the case.”
“The children of the original family take the benefits they received for granted.”
In fact, he was an abandoned child who had a relationship, so he was sensitive to that part.
Maybe that’s why the conflict with Baek Seon-hwa, who was winning and winning at Baekhwa Sangbang, was also the reason.
“Yes, you should know that life is always relative, but you didn’t know that.”
Not knowing is a big sin.
Namgoongyeon’s eyes darkened.
I feel my blood boil when I think of what I did to Jeokha Yeon at the top of the White House.
It was not a matter to be passed over as a mere 2,000 Nyang and an apology.
***
Next day.
The top of Baekhwasangbang was still motionless in the clearing below Bigasan.
Around noon, Baek Seon-hwa, who was well-dressed, took a porter and headed to Namgung Family.
Just then, in front of the main gate, I saw the warrior I had spoken with yesterday.
She smiled and approached.
For a moment, the warrior asked with a grave face.
“Who are you from?”
Embarrassed, Baek Seon-hwa looked back involuntarily.
Just in case there is someone else.
However, the only people standing in front of the front door were herself and the porter carrying a box of books.
“Me?”
“Then who else is there? Who are you from?”
Baek Seon-hwa was absurd, but she couldn’t bear to express herself and introduced herself again.
“This is Baek Seon-hwa, the secretary of Baekhwa Shop that I visited yesterday. The commander-in-chief asked me to come back today, so I came.”
“Did you come to see the commander-in-chief?”
“That’s why I was going to give a present to Empress Dowager 10 yesterday. Yesterday, Empress Dowager 10 was busy, so come tomorrow and talk to me…”
“Is the person you want to meet the General? Or are you the 10th Empress Dowager?”
“You’re the 10th lady.”
“I’ll come back after asking the Empress Dowager, so please wait.”
“yes.”
When the warrior entered through the side door, Baek Seon-hwa stepped aside.
After a while, Musa came out alone.
“The Empress Dowager Ten told me to bring a hundred sojeos. Follow me.”
Baek Seon-hwa, who had been sweeping her chest, hurriedly followed him.
Musa went inside for a while and stopped in front of ‘Wolrakjeong’ next to a large pond.
“Since Empress Dowager Ten will come out, please wait here. And you give the bag to Sojeo and follow me.”
At the warrior’s words, the porter handed the box he was holding to Baek Seon-hwa.
When the arrangement was finished, Musa returned the way he had brought the porter.
Baek Seon-hwa, left alone, waited for Empress Dowager Ten.
However, even after 10 minutes (15 minutes), no nosebleeds were shown.
Baekseonhwa, bored, walked slowly around the pond.
Did you circle the pond ten times?
A ‘click’ sound was heard from ‘Wolrakjeong’ where no one had been before.
I turned around in amazement and saw a picturesque beauty laying down her teacup on the table.
Baek Seon-hwa, who had been staring at Beauty for a while, immediately came to her senses and hurriedly ran
to the bottom of ‘Wolrakjeong’.
“I am Baek Seon-hwa, the secretary of Baekhwa Sangbang. Sojeo is the world’s preeminent prestige.
Instead of answering, Namgoongyeon took a sip of tea from her teacup.
Usually, tea is served to guests, but she did not recommend even empty words.
Baek Seon-hwa felt intimidated by her somewhat chilly attitude.
But luckily, I got a chance to meet, so I said it again with the intention of making friends.
“As you know, the bandits set fire to the wagon, so both ‘okju’ and ‘dangsamchae’ were burned. I’ve prepared a small gift for my regret. It’s a rare old book from Xi’an, and I don’t know if Empress Dowager Ten will like it.”
Along with the horse, Baek Seon-hwa held up the box containing the old books and climbed the stairs carefully.
It was when she had just put the box down in Wolrakjeong.
Namgoongyeon’s lips, which had been tightly closed, opened.
“From now on, I will forbid you from entering Hefei at the Baekhwa Shop. Get out of Hefei by the end of today.”
Baek Seon-hwa raised her head at Namgung-yeon’s thunderous declaration.
“yes? What do you mean by that?”
“The Yeongongja and the Namgung family are like one family. Did you think that Namgung Family would forgive Sangbang Baekhwa for trying to kill Confucius Yeon?”
I don’t know why Yeon Gongja jumped out here, but Baek Seon-hwa desperately clung to it.
“please forgive me. If I had known about the relationship between Gongja Yeon and Namgung’s family, I would never have done that. Confucius Yeon also forgave us for our unknowing sins.”
“I am letting you live because the practitioner forgave me. I won’t say it twice. There will be no merchants in Hefei who do business with department stores.”
The contemplative Baekseonhwa knelt down under the island stone.
I didn’t know anything else, but I had to block the one that couldn’t even enter Hefei.
“It’s all my fault! There is nothing wrong with the department store. I didn’t know what kind of person the Confucius I opened was, and I harbored a grudge. If you want to punish me, give it to me.”
Namgungyeon looked at Baek Seonhwa with cold eyes.
“Are you saying that now you know what a practitioner is like?”
“That’s… that you are one family with the Namgung family…”
“Tsk tsk! dip.”
Baek Seon-hwa hurriedly asked as Namgung-yeon seemed to soften a little.
“What kind of person is Confucius Yan? Please teach me, who is lacking.”
“The senior is the person who promised to marry me.”
“…”
Baek Seon-hwa’s mouth opened wide at the unexpected words.
Namgungse opened the front door wide open and greeted him with no fuss!
Even before the shock was over, more surprising words followed.
“His name is Yeonjeokha. He is a person who finds it difficult even for masters in the 10th century with the Taesangho method of green forest. Did you hold a grudge against him? Thank you for being alive.”
Namgung-yeon, who got up from her seat, passed by Seon-hwa Baek, who was in a state of fascination.
