Episode 51. So Eun Pyo Guk2014.02.25.
“Well, first of all, I wonder what’s going on… … No, before that, first look up… … .”
Sonbin said, not knowing what to do. Then, Se-hwa raised her head quickly and covered her mouth with her hand, making a surprised expression.
“Ah, I’ll stop being so reckless… … .”
She turned red and lowered her head again with an embarrassed expression.
“sorry.”
“No, that’s… … .”
Sonbin smiled bitterly.
I felt like I wanted to grab her shoulder and stop her, but I couldn’t carelessly touch the body of an older girl.
‘ha.’
Sonbin sighed inwardly. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but she felt like she needed to hear it anyway.
“It’s a tea with a pretty good scent.”
Sonbin spoke in a calm voice. Sehwag blinks her eyes and raises her head.
“yes?”
The teacup that Sonbin brought was left on the table, giving off a warm scent.
“I will listen, so please tell me what happened first.”
Sonbin spoke in a calm voice.
Jeok Se-hwa’s face was still red, but he quietly put his hand to the teacup. And after a while, Sonbin was able to hear her detailed story from her.
“Nchobin is my friend. “So Eun-pyo is the first child of the country.”
‘Ah, So Eun Pyo Soup.’
When it comes to So Eun-pyo, Son Bin has also heard of it. Like Hoyeonmu Gwan, it is a well-known place in Cheongwon.
“The situation has become a bit difficult for So Eun-pyo’s recent failed attempts. So, I ended up accepting a slightly risky approach that I would not have taken on normally.”
Jeok Se-hwa wrapped his hands around the teacup and spoke slowly.
“But the bigger problem is that the reformist family does not approve of this policy. The Sarangpyo Bureau, which requested the printing, is actually owned by the Tangmun. In other words, it’s the same as being in charge of carrying out the party’s message.”
“Are you a reformist?”
Jeok Se-hwa gives a puzzled look at Son Bin’s question.
“yes.”
“Why is the Revolutionary Family… … .”
“That’s because Hyukryunsega is the place that claims to be the two major leaders of Gangnam martial arts. Cheongwon here is practically the front yard for the Hyeokryun family located in Gwangju. For the party to reach out to such a petition is bound to be a serious challenge for the revolutionaries. Moreover, what if the opponent is Tangmun, one of the five major warriors?”
Jeok Se-hwa spoke in a sonorous voice. It was so different from how she looked before that Sonbin widened her eyes.
“Ah, the teacher over there probably doesn’t know much about this.”
Jeok Se-hwa said, his face slightly red. Sonbin nodded her head in agreement.
In fact, it was the first time I heard that the Hyukryun family was claiming to be the leader of the Gangnam martial arts group.
Looking back, I felt like I had heard of it, but I didn’t have time to focus on anything other than preparing for the past.
“You can’t ignore the Hyukryun family in Gangnam. And this is even more true when it comes to petitions here. Even so, the situation in the country is difficult, and even the revolutionaries hate it, so the existing supporters are leaving and there are almost no new people who want to apply.”
“Then why is So Eun-pyo acting in a way that the revolutionaries don’t like…” … .”
“If we don’t do that, we will have to take down the signboard to mark our country.”
Jeok Se-hwa said without hiding his bitter expression.
“Actually, our Hoyeon military officer should have already stepped in and helped. Eun Cho-bin is my friend, but she is even more so when I think about the relationship that So Eun Pyo-guk and Ho Yeon-mu have developed. However, the policy has already been set to never get involved in this matter. “I want to help in some way, but I have no choice.”
Jeok Se-hwa bit his lip. It seemed clear that she truly wanted to help her friend and her friend’s family.
But Sonbin slowly shook his head.
“But I don’t know anything about Pyoguk’s affairs. “I don’t know anyone in that area, so how can I help?”
In fact, there are almost no areas where anyone knows. So Sonbin’s words were natural.
But Jeok Se-hwa seemed to think a little differently.
“Jungo said.”
Jeok Se-hwa said quietly.
“Teacher, your martial arts skills are the best in the world. “I’ve never seen her eyes light up with such excitement.”
‘ah.’
Only then did Sonbin understand. Why did this young lady come to see me?
“That’s Jung-Oh… … .”
“And my father, or rather the head of the government, said the same thing. “Jungno’s teacher is a spirited tiger teacher.”
‘Guanju?’
It was probably referring to the reign of the martial arts officer Hoyeon.
But when have you ever met someone like that? Sonbin tilted his head at her words.
“Actually, Prince Sun is a little different from what I thought… … “It’s different.”
Jeok Se-hwa is now a grown woman. She did not believe what her little brother said about being the best in the world.
I didn’t even think of him as a retired expert. Because you’re too young for that. Moreover, they say he is from Cheongwon.
“Right now, So Eun Pyo Bureau needs at least one person to help.”
However, it seemed clear that Son Bin had learned some martial arts somewhere. That alone would have been a source of strength for So Eun Pyo.
“Please, please.”
Jeok Se-hwa said with a desperate expression. However, Sonbin, who was lost in thought for a moment, quietly shook his head.
“I am a writer. A little sword… … “I know, but I don’t dare call myself a warrior or a warrior.”
Sonbin’s words were sincere. The word unmanned is only suitable for someone like Sajahyuk.
How can you call yourself a warrior just because you have held a sword a little?
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can help you.”
Jeok Se-hwa bit his lip. But he was not discouraged. Rejection was expected anyway.
A person who wants to show off his martial skills would not be making a vow.
Rustle.
Jeok Se-hwa put his hand into his arms and took out a book and a small silk pouch.
“This is a rough sketch of the Hoyeon martial arts officer. “It’s not that great, but at least it’s something that no one but my disciples can see.”
‘Do you do martial arts?’
Sonbin cast his eyes on the book without realizing it.
“And this is a pill that protects energy. “I can’t say this is very precious, but it is the best thing I have.”
A small pill wrapped in waxed paper appears inside a silk bag, and a unique scent wafts out.
“Can’t I do this too?”
Jeok Se-hwa said with a sorrowful expression. And Sonbin barely restrained himself from swallowing his saliva.
‘It’s a welcome relief to the martial arts journey… … .’
Honestly, I was very attracted to it. She saw great dance moves with Lion Hyuk, but it was actually quite limited.
Excluding the Hyeoncheondobeop, it cannot be said that I have seen it properly. So, I couldn’t help but be interested in what martial arts were taught at the military academy.
Additionally, I was very attracted to the fragrant, fragrant tea.
‘Perhaps it could be of help to Sojeo Sa Su-yeon.’
It might be helpful to meet her again sometime in the future. These were items that Mu Gong Do-hae, Hwan Dan, and Son Bin could not help but be interested in.
‘Hmm.’
Sonbin, who was worried, eventually shook his head.
“sorry. But I can’t empty my vow… … .”
At Sonbin’s words, Jeok Se-hwa looked blank for a moment.
“Ah, but soon it will be the rainy season with frequent rain and the hottest time, right? Most vows are for rest… … .”
Sonbin felt sorry for her words. Whether it rains or snows, the earnest seowons preparing for the civil service exam naturally do not rest.
However, small academies, especially those targeting children like Son Bin, do not open their academies at all during the hot summer months. In the case of a seowon based in a rural area, it may take a break during the busy farming season.
“But I still don’t think it’s my job.”
I’m interested in the martial arts adventure, but it’s only limited to interest. Her advice may help her, but she doesn’t know when she will meet her.
It didn’t seem right to go out with a sword for them.
Jeok Se-hwa was discouraged by the clear words of rejection.
“okay.”
Tears well up in her eyes. Feeling like he had done something wrong, Sonbin cleared his throat.
But no matter how much I thought about it, the conclusion was clear. How could it be right for him to go out of his way to help Pyo-guk, who had nothing to do with him, just because he held a sword?
“I’m sorry for making such an unreasonable request.”
Jeok Se-hwa lowered his head and said. Sonbin also bowed his head.
“no. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
Rustle.
Jeok Se-hwa stood up from his seat. He has no reason to sit here since he has been notified of his refusal.
Sonbin also stands up to see the guest off.
Let’s go.
Jeok Se-hwa, who was walking one step, suddenly stopped and looked back at Son Bin’s house.
“It’s a nice, quiet place.”
Sonbin smiled softly.
“I heard that Soso also likes this academy, but it’s a pity.”
“yes?”
Sonbin asked a question without realizing it. Soso?
“Oh, by any chance you didn’t know?”
Jeok Se-hwa spoke as if explaining Sonbin’s reaction.
“So So’s house is So Eun Pyo Soup. If this attempt fails, it will probably be difficult for Soso to attend the academy anymore. “Maybe the whole family will have to move to another country.”
After sighing slightly, Jeok Se-hwa bowed his head to Son Bin. And she tried to leave just like that.
“wait a minute.”
“yes?”
Jeok Se-hwa stopped walking and looked back at Son Bin. Sonbin spoke in a quiet voice.
“I’m sorry, but can I hear the story again?”
Jeok Se-hwa looked at Son Bin with a slightly puzzled expression. However, Sonbin’s expression was quite serious.
* * *
Heat has arrived in Guangdong Province.
Due to the sweltering heat, people refrained from outdoor activities and the streets were so quiet that there were almost no people passing by, but this was not the case in Soeunpyo-guk.
“Move that over there! Mr. General Manager, did you check the quantity of this?”
The commander-in-chief, who was quite old to be called an uncle, immediately nodded. The Commander-in-Chief was also busy checking, holding a ledger and brush in his hands.
“for a moment! “That’s over there.”
Eun Chobin was running around with his sleeves rolled up, giving instructions on the preparations, but the new, clumsy embroiderers kept making small mistakes.
In the past, this would have been done by skilled masters and masters, but now there are very few such skilled people left.
In addition, one of the reasons why things went awry was that the top and other representative countries, which were usually willing to cooperate, expressed reluctance to cooperate further.
Thanks to this, the old governor, who had some experience, and Eun Cho-bin, a young lady from So Eun-pyo Bureau, had to run around sweating in this heat.
“Dad, have you heard from Gukju?”
“Not yet.”
The old commander said with an apologetic expression. Even though he has no reason to be sorry.
“is it so?”
Eun Chobin sighed slightly. The head of the So Eun Pyo Bureau had been going out since morning to prepare the supplies needed for the Pyo trip.
“Anyway, as much as possible… … huh?”
While Eun Cho-bin was speaking, he suddenly noticed someone standing at the entrance of Pyo-guk.
“Who is it? “I guess it was written that no other tickets will be accepted for the time being?”
The old general also turns his head at Nchobin’s words. In the scorching sunlight, a young man dressed as a civil servant was standing looking in this direction.
“I will go…” … .”
“no. I’ll go. “The general manager completes the confirmation.”
Without waiting for the Commander-in-Chief’s answer, Nchobin quickly walked towards the entrance.
I lowered my rolled up sleeves and smoothed out my disheveled hair with my palm. Well, there’s no way you’ll suddenly look neat.
“hello.”
Nchobin said, smiling as best as he could.
The young man dressed as a civil servant bowed his head politely as Eun Chobin approached. Eun Chobin also expressed his gratitude.
“Are you here to request an item? We’re sorry, but our bureau is busy with other projects right now, so for the time being, personal tickets… … .”
Rustling.
The scholar took out a small letter to Eun Cho-bin, who was speaking with a smiling face. Nchobin said, still smiling.
“For the time being, we are not accepting any requests for books.”
“It was given to me by Lord Jeok Se-hwa of the Hoyeon military officer.”
“yes?”
Eun Cho-bin accepted the letter with a puzzled expression. Then she slightly bowed her head to the messenger in understanding, then turned her body and read the letter.
The scholar waited quietly until she finished reading the letter.
Crispy.
The book crinkles in Eun Chobin’s hands and makes a sound.
“Oh my, he’s doing this useless thing again.”
There was no more smile on Nchobin’s face as he spoke. She was just full of frustration at her close friend adding to her work while she was busy.
Eun Chobin bit his lip slightly, raised his head and looked the messenger up and down. The clothing has been refined and the appearance is that of a typical civil servant.
“ha.”
Eun Chobin sighed openly.
“Prince Sun… … “Did you say that?”
“yes.”
Sonbin nodded.
“My name is Sonbin.”
“Yes, Prince Sun. I don’t know what I heard from Sehwa, but… … .”
Nchobin’s voice, which was speaking in a hard voice as if admonishing, cut off midway.
This is because the lively voice of a little girl suddenly came out from inside the seal.
“teacher!”
Dododo.
A little girl jumped out with great force. And she jumped at Sonbin without any hesitation.
Because his height was less than Sonbin’s waist, Sonbin had to quickly lower his posture. Because she didn’t know that if she jumped in, she might hit and get hurt.
Pak.
“teacher! What happen? Why did you come to my house? Are you reopening the academy?”
Soso, the little girl held by Sonbin, asked that question with sparkling eyes.
They jump up and down with excitement when they say it’s vacation, but now their eyes sparkle as they ask when it will open again.
Soso’s mouth was filled with a happy smile. Sonbin also responded with a smile.
“I haven’t opened my vow yet. “I’ll do it again when the weather gets cooler.”
“Then why did you come to my house? I came to play?”
“No, I thought I would help Soso.”
“really? Wow!”
Soso raised his hands and was happy.
“excuse me… … .”
A voice full of embarrassment was heard. When Sonbin raised her head, she said Eunchobin with an awkward smile on her face.
“Mr. Soso… … “Was it you?”
“huh! “He’s our teacher!”
The answer was Soso’s clear voice.
At those words, Eun Cho-bin’s expression became even more awkward, but Son Bin, who was looking at her, was thinking about something else.
‘They really look alike.’
Nchobin’s appearance was exactly the same as Soso. It’s to the point where I wonder if Soso will be like that when he grows up.
