Chapter 459 - mother's dream

Yangil's shoulders, which had shrunk at the sudden change of attitude of the front gate warriors, widened.

He raised his chin and shook the reins lightly, like a coachman from a prestigious family.

A small, ungainly carriage slowly entered the wide open gate of the Namgung family.

Moon to Moon.

Baek Il-woong, acting chief of Baekhwa Sangbang, Baek San-wu, Sangwol swordsman of Jungyangdaeju, and clerk Baek Seon-hwa watched the carriage passing by them with blank eyes.

They were madly curious about the identity of the practitioner, but there was no one to grab and ask.

As the wagon entered, the gate that had been wide open closed again.

Subsequently, the warrior at the main gate spoke to Baek Il-woong.

“I understand that I couldn’t bring the ‘Jade Pearl’ and ‘Tang Three Vegetables’ that I ordered from my family. So, who are you going to tell the situation to?”

In a word, it is the sound of ‘Who are you looking for?’

“The person who ordered it is the Commander-in-Chief, so please let me meet him.”

“I will tell the commander-in-chief. Please wait.”

The warrior briefly explained the situation to the other warriors and disappeared through the side door.

Maybe half an angle (about 7 minutes) has passed?

Musa returned with the commander Yu Jeong Yu-geom and Namgung San-ho.

“Sir!”

Baek Il-woong approached Namgung San-ho as if he had met his deceased ancestor.

“Agent Baek. You've heard the story. Let's eat inside.”

Namgung Sanho comforted Baek Il-woong’s shoulder and led him to the side door.

Baek Il-woong, who saw that even the commander-in-chief went in and out through the side door, tilted his head.

'It's strange. The front door was wide open when the Confucius' carriage entered a moment ago.'

I was curious, but I couldn't dare to ask the general why you walk through the side door.

Baek Il-woong, who was crossing the yard, was surprised once again to see the carriage standing in the yard of the main house.

The small, old wagon was clearly the one the practitioner had been riding.

It means that it was not enough to enter through the front door, so I went directly to the anchae.

Baek Il-woong suppressed his doubts and quietly followed Namgung San-ho.

The fact that King Namgung told them not to show any interest in their work, let alone hide it, is not only applicable to Baek San-wu and Baek Seon-hwa.

The commander-in-chief Namgung San-ho led the three to his office and served him tea.

As the tea scent filled the room, Namgung Sanho got lucky.

“‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’ were burned?”

Baek Il-woong hurriedly put down the teacup and answered.

“Yes, I was attacked by masked people in Buyang County. Stopped because they set fire to the carriage loaded with 'Okju' and 'Dangsamchae'... … .”

“Oh, tsk tsk! Have you lost any property?”

“Yes, we defeated the enemies with the quick response of our escorts from Chungyang University.”

Namgung San-ho looked at Baek Il-woong.

“I wonder. The bandits set the fire without thinking of taking it away. There must be twists and turns.”

“We are also suspicious of it, so we are looking into it in every way, but so far… … .”

“Hmm! A fire was set on a wagon loaded with goods going to the Namgung family near Hebi? How many carriages were there in all?”

“I was in my teens. One of them was burned, and the other was broken in half and repaired.”

“Then it would be reasonable to think that they were aiming for ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’.”

“I guess so.”

“I understand. We will separately investigate who the bandits are and why they did what they did.”

After that, Namgung Sanho did not mention ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’ any more.

Baek Il-woong, who had been watching, spoke cautiously.

“I have no face, but could you give me another chance? In the name of Baekhwa Sangbang, we will procure the finest ‘okju’ and ‘dangsamchae’. As it is our fault, we are willing to cut three percent of the promised goods price.”

“I cannot answer that question right now.”

“Are you thinking of another boss? I'll cut Sahal. There is no place that supplies the highest quality ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’ cheaper than us.”

Namgung Sanho smiled.

The reason why he avoids an immediate answer to Baekhwa Sangbang's proposal is because he thinks something more urgent than 'Okju' and 'Dangsamchae' will happen.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who is known to be marrying Namgung-yeon, visited.

"no. A big guest is coming to the main house, so I can't care about anything else for the time being. If you have free time, consider the department store's offer.”

Baek Il-woong asked sneakily at the word ‘big guest’.

"ah! You have guests. A wagon went in while we were waiting for the commander-in-chief. Is it him?”

However, the leader of the Moorim family is not just anyone.

The soft eyes of Namgung Sanho shone as sharp as a well-honed blade.

“I didn’t know that Baekhwa Shop would pay attention to the customers of the main house. Did you have any intention of managing Murim?”

If it's upstairs, it's the sound of behaving like an upstairs.

Baek Il-woong understood his meaning and hurriedly lowered his head.

“Oops! no. I just asked without thinking when I saw a wagon I was familiar with. I asked my subordinates to always watch their mouth, but I made a big mistake. Please forgive me.”

Then Namgung Sanho responded with a natural smile.

"haha. I don't think I would have thought of Baekhwa Sangbang that way. There is no one who doesn't know that Baek's agent is a born merchant. I know it's going up, but haven't I been holding it for too long?”

As soon as the commander-in-chief seemed to get up from his seat, Baek Seon-hwa hurriedly came out.

“Sir.”

“What is it?”

“I want to present an old book to Empress yeon as an apology. Among the books on the way to Yingcheonbu (Nanjing), I have selected those that might be of interest to Empress yeon. Can I give them myself?”

The corner of Namgung Sanho's mouth went up slightly.

The effort to make connections somehow is imaginary, but it is questionable whether it will work for Namgung-yeon.

“It will be difficult to find time today, so please visit again tomorrow at an appropriate time. Of course, we can't guarantee that the empress yeon will meet Baek So-jeo. I don't know. If there is a good book, he will wake up even after sleeping, so maybe you can meet him.”

“Okay, then I’ll see you again tomorrow.”

When Baek Seon-hwa was allowed to visit, Baek Il-woong and Baek San-wu's expressions brightened.

***

The anchae of the Namgung family.

Three boys and one girl were sitting facing each other and chatting.

Sword King Namgung Byeok, Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon,Namgung Yeon and Yeonjeokha.

When Yeon Jeok-ha told him the story of his time in Wulong Palace, Namgung Byeok spoke.

“There was a time when the magic of Oryonggung was called a martial art. That's why I sent you to the shaman faction. It seems like it hasn't been long since we went up the mountain, but it's great that we're already down. It wouldn't have been possible if the cloth was the same.”

Namgungcheon hastily excused herself for her father's comparison.

“Father, didn’t you hear that I was a genius in swordsmanship?”

“If you are a genius, what about your younger brother? Are you a genius?”

“To be honest, I am not a person who has a relationship. Aren't I still useful in the human category?”

“If you had maintained your original intention, would you compare it to Yeon-i?”

Namgung Byeok regretted that her son, who had heard of her genius, had become Beomjae as he grew up.

Of course, his life is not over yet, but he has expectations.

At the words of her father, who was full of regrets, Namgungcheon quickly changed the topic.

“So Jeokha stopped by Namyeon’s guesthouse and came right away?”

"yes."

“Your eyes are dark, so you managed to find me?”

“So I got a wagon. The coachman knew how to find the road.”

"aha! coachman. Did you use your hair quite a bit?”

At the mention of wearing her hair, the elated Yeonjeokha added an explanation.

“In addition, I met a white merchant on the way and buried it.”

“A department store?”

“Yes, on the way to Eungcheonbu, I heard that the Namgung family also has business. So it caught on its tail.”

“What kind of business did you have with the department store?”

Namgungcheon glanced at her Namgungyeon.

Then she said Namgoongyeon calmly.

“I heard that the second uncle asked them to purchase ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’.”

Then Yeonjeokha received a message.

"that's right. ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’. Right before crossing the river, I met bandits and messed up.”

Namgungcheon looked at Yeonjeokha with a surprised face.

"what? Could it be that the goods ordered by the second uncle were robbed by bandits?”

“Are you glad you were robbed? The bandits picked out a wagon loaded with ‘okju’ and ‘dangsamchae’ and burned it.”

"her! Are you sure jeokha?”

"I don't know. That's what I heard later."

"I don't know? I heard you moved with them too? Didn't they pretend not to see it because it was green?”

“Oops! older brother. Even though I have my feet on the green, I always stood on the top side when moving with the top.”

“But why is the carriage on fire?”

“Actually, the day before, I was kicked out of the guild because I was filmed by the top clerk. So I only found out after the situation was over.”

"what? You said you were kicked out?”

Surprised, Namgungcheon raised her voice.

Contrary to the notoriety of Kang-ho, who has a rivalry, it is because people are gentle and far from evil.

Namgung Byeok and Namgung Yeon also stared at Yeonjeokha, hoping for her explanation.

When people's eyes focused on her, he scratched her head with a confused face.

‘I said it would be okay if the inn went bankrupt because of sister Yeon, but that happened… … .’

The more I thought about it, the hotter it sounded.

Namgungcheon, who had been waiting, secretly threw the bait.

“Looks like the brother did something to get kicked out. Is it something to do with women?”

"It's definitely not what my brother thinks."

“That’s a woman. that's right."

When Namgungcheon decided, Yeonjeokha, embarrassed, said in a crawling sound.

"That's actually... … .”

She confided what happened at the top in front of the three people who were in a relationship.

“… … That's how it happened.”

Namgungyeon blushed at him, and Namgungchun laughed and even shed tears.

On the other hand, Namgung Byeok was always serious.

After Yeon Jeok-ha's story was over, Namgung Byeok asked quietly.

"That's what happened. Let's ask Kim when the words came out. When you get married, how will you live?”

“… … Do you want to live happily like your uncle’s family?”

“That is natural. What I mean is, what are you going to do for a living after marriage? Are you planning to continue running the inn as you are now?”

“… … .”

I couldn't answer right away.

She herself is from Green Forest, so she doesn't feel much of an inn, but she gives Namgoong-yeon a snack.

In did not fit.

Dry spittle continued to flow as far as the throat.

It feels like something to come.

Suddenly, I remembered what Gu Cheon-no-Do Sim-tong had said.

―Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to have a empress yeon lady running an inn? I think people will swear at Confucius, saying, ‘Let’s sell women.

― Dwiung-bak does not cut the gourd, only makes a hole near the top, and digs out the inside of her gourd to dry it. Grain or seeds are put in this hole. Of course, rich households put ‘rice’, but poor households sometimes put ‘meat’. So, ‘the content that can be contained changes depending on which house it is in’, or something like that.

Simtong said that the Namgung family said that the inn was the same as the food for the people.

Seeing it with my own eyes, it certainly seems so.

Didn't the people of the baekhwa shop, who used to be so powerful, wait at the front gate?

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was hesitating, heard Namgung-yeon's voice in his ears.

“Father, I will be with brother no matter what he does. I don't think the guesthouse is bad either. Since I am quick at counting, it will be of great help to the inn.”

At her words, the atmosphere became tense for an instant.

Even the owner of the inn, Yeon Jeok-ha, shook her head as if that wasn't the case.

At that time, he said Namgung Byeok.

he said, “The last time I saw your father, she said this. There is one thing I did well in my life, and that was to build Waryongjang. Originally, Waryongjang was the dream of your biological mother, Lee Bu-yong. Your mother wanted Yeonmu-ryong to live a life of contemplation, like Waryong. Unlike the Yeons who want to reign.”
