Episode 825. I thought all adults were like that
. Mt. Cheongseong.
Seochokwan Annex.
Drink time (8:00 p.m.).
Namgungyeon quietly put the sleeping baby on the bed and looked at Yeonjeokha.
“So you’re going to go upstairs with old Sim?”
“yes. It just happened that the destination at the top was opening. While I’m gone, I’m going to stop by the Namyeon guesthouse. It would be nice to take this opportunity to receive money that I haven’t received in the past.”
“That’s right. It’s already been two years.”
“I don’t know if that snarky old man is still alive.
“You must be alive. M So, it must be difficult to manage it alone. well thought out I think it would be good to take this opportunity to look around. I don’t know if it fits with the schedule of the upper division, but make sure to stop by the Namyeon Inn.”
“Okay.”
“Didn’t you say you were leaving in three days?”
“yes. In the meantime, they said they would attract merchants. Old Sim and I are participating in the escort, so this is the time.”
The imperial family couldn’t use their strength, so thieves infested them.
From the perspective of the Gold Shop, it was natural to increase the scale as long as safety was guaranteed.
Namgungyeon, who came across Yeonjeokha, picked up a teapot and asked.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Good.”
Namgung-yeon poured tea into an empty cup and pushed it in front of Yeonjeok-ha.
The scent of tea subtly soaked the dry interior.
Namgung-yeon, who had been quietly fixing the teacup, suddenly smiled.
“why?”
“I smile when I think that I am now a mother. I thought I was going to live as a girl all my life.”
“I never thought I would be a father either. The father in my memory was different from me.”
“Do you remember your father?”
“of course. I was six years old when I entered the warehouse. I haven’t seen them often before, but I’ve seen them from afar.”
“How was your father?”
“A stiff uncle? Whenever he saw me, he always frowned. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a smiling face. I thought all adults were like that. There was no one laughing around me. Are you curious? It was the first time I saw adults laughing when I was living in Obongsan. I don’t know if that’s why I’m more affectionate. I hope your brothers are doing well.”
“It must not have been Father’s true intention not to smile at you. I think it must have been because it hurt. My uncle passed away right after my father took Mubaek’s older brother to the Namgung family.”
“sister. me If I thought I was going to die soon, I would be better for my baby. As much as we won’t be able to see each other in the future, we have to do better now.”
“Each person has a different way of dealing with death. There are people who only see their own pain, and there are people who think of the people who will be left behind like you. I like you like that.”
Yeonjeokha, recalling the past, suddenly said.
“really! You know what? That you get a lot more money from Namyeon Inn for helping one trip up than you should get for two years?”
“Whoops! How much do you get for saying that?”
“I decided to accompany you for two months back and forth and receive 200 nyang of the hermit. I received 100 Nyang first and decided to receive the remaining 100 Nyang two months later. Originally, I said I would give you three hermits a day, right? But Jang Ark said, ‘Since 90 nyang is out of shape in a month, I will use 10 more nyang to make up for 100 nyang’. That’s why I became a hermit of 200 nyang in two months. The money you will receive from the Namyeon Inn for two years is about 70 nyang of hermits, but two hundred nyang in two months! I must have bought the Namyeon guesthouse for no reason.”
“On the other hand, the Namyeon guesthouse is money you get without lifting a finger. How hard is it to follow the ascendant? I don’t know how difficult it is for you to rise to the level of fame, but people say that ordinary people lose their bones.”
“Old Sim said that his bones decay, but does your sister know how to say that too?”
“I know more than that.”
“What is it?”
“What is it?”
Namgung-yeon only aroused curiosity and laughed bashfully.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was all alone at the sight of him, got up from his seat and approached Namgung-yeon.
“uh? why?”
“If you go now, you will see your sister for two months.”
“So suddenly?”
Yeonjeokha said with an impudent face.
“The baby isn’t the only one who needs a sister.”
“Wait a minute. I haven’t even washed yet.”
“are you okay. Because I am dirtier.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha recklessly pushed forward, Namgung-yeon also pretended to be invincible and entrusted herself to his hands.
***
After three days.
Sichuan Saints.
gold statue.
Early moning.
The front yard of the Golden Shop was full of merchants from Chengdu.
The merchants were excited with the expectation of a large-scale upstream of the bay.
As the departure time drew closer, the merchants glanced at the upper escort.
Namcheon Yeonjeokha and Gucheonno are also looking for heartache.
Jangyang Ark, surrounded by gangsters, beckoned the clerk.
“Yes, Lord.”
Hwang-gyu came closer and lowered his head.
“What happened to the Namcheon Grand Hyeop? Time is running out, why can’t I see it?”
“That I don’t know either. First of all, we released people in and out of the upper room. When the Namcheon Daehyeop appears, I told them to notify me immediately.”
Deung Won-yong, acting manager, said with an uneasy face.
“Lord Ark. Surely you can’t just accept money and not come?”
Zhang Yang then shook his head.
“Have you not heard of the Namcheon Grand Hyeop? He’s famous for keeping his word. So they say you should be careful what you say in front of him. there are no empty words Besides, the money given to Namcheon Daehyeop is only 100 nyang of the hermit. Would you do anything to damage your reputation for that money?”
“I do, but I’m from Green Forest… I’m not very trustworthy.”
“He is from Nokrim, but he is also a disciple of the shaman faction and the son-in-law of the Namgung family. Even for the sake of the shaman faction and the Namgung family, they won’t eat and splash.”
Even as he said that, Zhang Yang’s eyes were shaking.
In fact, he only hoped for that, but deep down he was half-confident about his rival.
This is because, to the Noklimdos, trust is nothing more than shit.
Dong Won-yong muttered as he watched about 300 people come and go in the yard.
“Huh! If the Namcheon Daehyeop does not appear, the credibility of our gold merchants will be greatly reduced…”
First of all, it is the worst accident as a merchant since he lied to the merchants of Chengdu.
The large-scale trade unions will be reduced, and the gold merchants will have to take responsibility for this.
It means losing money and losing trust, so it’s like being struck by lightning from the beginning of the new year.
At that time, Hwang-gyu, who had been looking at the gate with his neck stretched out, made a fuss.
“came! came! Namcheon Daehyeop and Gucheonnodo have arrived.”
At those words, Zhang Yang and Teng Won-yong looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief.
Soon after, Zhang Yang stepped out to meet Yeon Jeok-ha.
“Namcheon Grand Gorge. You came on time. This is said to be for the promotion of the acting chief of the Gold Shop.”
Zhang Yang pointed at the desolate dragon standing next to her.
Then, Deung Won-yong bowed deeply as if his head were about to touch the ground.
“It is an honor to meet you, Daehyup. It is for climbing.”
“Ah yes. It’s serial. You came on time, but you’re not late, are you?”
Yeonjeokha turned his gaze to Jangyang.
Jangyang replied with a slightly exaggerated gesture, waving her hand.
“Oops! no. You came just in time. You have to come early to wait in the cold. The checking of the ledger and goods was finished a little while ago, so we can start now.”
“By the way, there are more merchants than I thought?”
I stuck out my tongue at the scale of the ascending line.
I saw about 50 wagons in front of the gate, and there were about 300 merchants and porters in the yard.
If you add the 50 escorts here, there are about 350 people alone.
‘Is it the biggest of the upper decks you’ve ever seen?’
Baekhwa Sangbang, who accompanied Namgung family in the past, was incomparable.
When Yeon Jeok-ha was surprised, Zhang Yang said with a proud face.
“You can see that the people in our gold store are eight percent, and the rest are cooperative merchants.
“It’s amazing.”
Deung Won-yong noticeably intervened in the conversation.
“Geuminang is a big prize that goes into the top ten. It is bound to be different in scale from the other upper chambers.”
When Yeon Je-he was listening to Jang Yang and Teng Won-yong about the teenage years, someone approached.
The leader of the escort was Taesan Sword Ha Huchan.
Three days ago, he exchanged greetings with Yeon Jeok Ha’s heartache.
“It is time for the ark to depart. What should I do?”
“Then let’s go.”
After Zhang Yang gave permission, Ha Hu Chan hurriedly returned to the escort.
Soon after, merchants and porters gathered in the yard began to pass through the gate in an orderly manner.
***
Yeon Jeok-ha and Shen-tong did not ride horses like the other escorts, but rode in wagons.
The escort leader, Ha Hu-chan, had a heartache with Yeon Je-ha, but did not say anything.
And when it was break time or meal time, he sent someone to take care of Yeonjeokha and heartache.
Yeonjeokha, who nodded as the wagon shook, muttered to himself like a mutter.
“iced coffee! remembered It was like this when I went hunting for the Twelve Horsemen before.”
Simtong, who tilted his head, couldn’t bear it when he had no words to follow.
“What do you mean by this?”
“I was tired of riding in a carriage all day without doing anything.”
“Even if you’re tired, hold on. It’s just the beginning, so don’t do that already.”
“Who said what? It’s just because I’m bored.”
“Oh, Gongja-nim. If you’re bored like that from the first day, what are you going to do for the remaining two months?”
“What the heck? They said I was trying to run away?”
As the two bickered, the carriage slowed down and finally came to a halt.
Soon Ha Hu-chan, who was in the lead, came running on horseback.
“Namcheon Grand Gorge. I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to be homeless from the first day. There is a village a little further along, but it is too small to accommodate us. I think being homeless would be better than being scattered from the village, even if it was difficult.”
Yeonjeokha nodded his head with a nonchalant face.
“We’re all right.”
In fact, homelessness was a little uncomfortable for the two people, but it was not difficult.
“Thank you for your understanding. I will gather the wagons together and make a place to rest.”
Ha Hu-chan returned to his bright face.
Heartache lightly clicked his tongue.
“Tsk! Somehow, I noticed it from a while ago. After all, I’m homeless from day one. Confucius, how do you feel? Do you think you will suffer properly?”
“What is suffering? Compared to winter in Kuju, this is not cold.”
“Well, the Savior was rather cold, right? Even I, who is not amenable to the cold, would have stiff skin if I stayed outside for a long time. Still, Confucius-nim, are you all right?”
“no. I also get goosebumps when I’m outside for a long time. How much did it snow again?”
He shook his head with a tired face.
Even when the Savior thought about it again, it was not a place for people to live.
I still can’t understand why such a harsh world is a higher world than the present world.
While the two chatted, the wagons gathered in groups of three or four to block the wind.
Yeonjeokha and Heartache came down from the carriage late.
Just in time, workers sent by Ha Hu-chan rushed to make a bed.
However, all the workers who were involved in the raid were sent back.
After that, I took out a tent from the space warehouse ‘Mahadam’ and put a wooden pallet and a thick blanket inside.
The coachmen couldn’t close their gaping mouths as Yeonjeokha kept taking household tools out of the air.
“Come in, guys, if it’s cold.”
The coachmen who entered the tent at the invitation of Yeonjeokha looked inside the tent with curious eyes.
The huge tent is amazing, but I couldn’t believe it even when I saw the trees on the floor and the thick blanket.
They feared Yeonjeokha, who took all of this out of thin air, as if it were a freshman.
So I didn’t dare to go near Yeonjeokhe and spent the night at his feet.
