Episode 30. Necessity named coincidence (2)
“Are you here?”
Hong Wi-moon’s greeting was quite polite.
Because of the position, he did not bow down to his waist, but it was not common for the disciples of the religious leader to show such an example.
The other party did not take that greeting lightly.
“Wonhee Hwanhee sees Sagongja.”
“Come up. I made it as expensive as possible, but I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”
So Yeon-shim smiled.
“Hwayeonru (花淵樓) is under the management of the main office. I know best how good the food here is.”
“Oh, I see.”
Hong Wi-moon scratched his head. So Yeon-sim laughed at the action that expressed her own embarrassment.
The two climbed the pavilion amicably.
Hwayeonru is one of the five main bases of Protestant resistance, and was also a main base favored by the leaders. Hongwimun is located in Cheonwijeong (天位亭), which is said to have the best scenery among such Hwayeonru.
Moderately darkened sky, fragrant food and cool breeze added flavor.
So Yeon-shim smiled and asked.
“By the way, how did the shipwreck, who was busy with construction, invite me?”
It’s pretty direct from the start. However, that smile and voice were so soft that it didn’t offend the other person at all.
Hong Wi-moon shook his head.
“Is there any particular reason? It is not difficult to serve dinner to someone who is working tirelessly for our school.”
“Hoho, say nothing.”
They don’t know that it’s an empty word. Even so, her small heart smiled, covering her mouth as if she were sincerely grateful.
Hong Yu-moon smiled.
“This is Geumjoncheong (金尊淸), which was airlifted with difficulty. Please take a drink.”
“thank you.”
The two filled each other’s glasses.
Hong Wi-moon asked as if passing by.
“How did you upload the payment documents?”
So Yeon-shim replied leisurely.
“yes. It was already made to some extent, so there was no difficulty in fixing it.”
“You worked hard.”
“Do you have any trouble? It’s me who reviews and gets confirmation from the upper level, but the people below do all the work.”
“It is not easy to create a good environment so that the lower ones can do well. There will be no one who doesn’t know how much Wonju is working hard.”
“I don’t know what to do with you painting it with gold.”
“I just said what I felt.”
The two laughed and tilted their glasses.
The question about the approval documents could be seen as quite heavy from Soyeonsim’s point of view. It wasn’t that it was a bad thing, but it wasn’t a good thing because it was revealed again.
Even so, there is no shaking at all in the expression.
‘It’s not easy after all.’
Hagiya is a heroine who has endured for decades in the battlefield of the new religion and even attained the position of the Lord of Joy. He wouldn’t be the one to be shaken by these words.
“How about a drink?”
“It’s a little too springy for my taste.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“I don’t really like heavy scents. Still, the aftertaste is not bad.”
Hong Wi-moon’s eyes deepened.
It was nothing more than a personal impression, but it was not something to say easily to the person who prepared alcohol and food. Furthermore, isn’t the opponent a disciple of the religious leader?
‘Are you offended? Just that much?’
After taking a closer look at her, Hong Yu-wen changed her mind.
It wasn’t that I was hurt or that I was looking into the other person’s intentions. Soyeonsim was just expressing her honest feelings.
‘It’s worth it.’
It is not easy to respond in this way in Protestantism, where the difference in social status is clear. It means that you know your own value well, and it means that you have strong self-esteem.
‘I’m not interested in talking back. It’s an opponent you have to attack honestly. It’s a type that is hard to see at our school.’
At the same time, he was also a very manly person. It’s because they don’t bother to hide their power enough that they don’t need to talk about it.
“Would you like another drink?”
“Oh, I drink slowly.”
Also I was right
Hong Wi-moon smiled and handed her the bottle.
“If you do, give me a drink.”
Lee Chae was young in So Yeon Shim’s eyes.
I was interested in the other person’s reaction.
“Of course it should.”
She politely filled his glass.
By the time the glass was completely filled, Hong Wi-moon said.
“I need help.”
Squeak.
So Yeon-sim lowered the bottle without panicking at all. There was no answer either.
Hong Wi-moon also put down his glass. The wine flowed as if it were about to spill, but not a single drop was spilled.
“Please lend me a hand.”
So Yeon-sim, who was staring at Hongwi-mun, raised her glass and emptied it.

“You drank well.”
A slow-moving heartbreak.
A smile formed in Hong Wi-moon’s eyes as she looked up at her.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“Before the inconvenience, it is because I am opposed to empowering any one candidate.”
“What do you think?”
Soyeonshim’s eyes deepened.
“I don’t know about other organizations, but the main office cannot. If the main school moves, the main school will shake.”
It may sound arrogant, but Hong Wi-wen agreed with her words.
Among those who easily refer to the word housekeeping, not many people know how important it is.
Needless to say, if he was in charge of the household of a super-giant force like the Heavenly Demon Goddess. From small food materials to large funds, Hwanheewon was a source of joy.
It may not be a combat organization, but when Hwanheewon starts to exert its power, the game of the succession battle changes. As Soyeonsim said, even Shintoism could be shaken.
“I thought that the sergeant-nim would know about that, but I am surprised.”
She took out a small pouch from her bosom and held it up.
“I ate well. I will pay for what I ate.”
Hong Wi-moon shook his head.
“Since I invited you, I will pay for dinner.”
“are you okay.”
“And it seems that Wonju So is misunderstanding something.”
“A misunderstanding?”
“I asked for a hand, I never asked to be on my side.”
The corner of Soyeonsim’s mouth went up.
It was still a beautiful smile, but there was a bone-chilling chill in it.
“I don’t think you will notice any difference other than the difference in words.”
“It is completely different. As Wonju said, it’s not like I don’t know the characteristics of Hwanheewon.”
“Even if it is different, it doesn’t matter. We do not provide any support for candidates unless it is reasonable.”
“I’m sure that’s not specified in the church law.”
“It’s my way of loyalty after leaving the church law.”
“I would encourage you to think differently about that mode of allegiance.”
“I ate well.”
So Yeon-shim turned his back.
Hong Wi-moon, who had been quietly looking at her back, opened her mouth.
“Do you need blue leaves four leaves?”
For a moment, So Yeon-shim stopped walking.
She still turned her back. I can’t see what kind of expression she is making.
Hong Wi-moon said in a relaxed voice.
“It is a valuable herb. It is also not available in Yunnan, where most of the herbs that come to our school are grown. Didn’t you say it was a herb that could hardly be found near the far eastern sea?”
“… … .”
“I will give it to you if you need it. I have nothing to write about.”
Hong Wi-moon did not bother to explain at length. It was because he knew that if he talked too long here, he would only irritate his opponent.
how much time has passed like that
slip.
So Yeon-shim turned around.
The beautiful face was still there, but the smile that had never left her lips was gone.
Hong Wi-moon laughed and lifted the bottle.
“Would you like another drink?”
So Yeon-sim, who had been glaring at him quietly, sat down and raised her glass.
Hong Yu-wen never behaved arrogantly. He filled his cup in a polite manner.
Soyeonsim emptied her glass at once.
Hong Wi-moon filled her glass again.
It was only after emptying the glass three times in succession that So Yeon-shim opened her mouth.
“How did you know?”
“Does it matter how you know?”
“Important. At least for me.”
Hong Wi-moon shook his head.
“If you want to hear that, you need to bring the appropriate trade item. I don’t do business that doesn’t fit the abacus.”
So Yeon-shim smiled coldly.
“It looks like there is also an abacus egg called Kangmae stuck in that abacus.”
“I hope you understand that this is because circumstances are not going well.”
Hong Yu-moon smiled.
“For a smooth transaction, you have to offer what the other party wants. At least to Wonju, I think Cheonggusayeopcho is a reasonable item for trading. How is it?”
So Yeon-shim looked at him without answering.
how much time has passed like that
“Let’s listen first. What do you want, sir?”
Hong’s smile deepened.
It’s hard to roll anything the first time, but once it’s rolled, it’s easy from then on.
Now that the confidence that has not been broken so far has been broken, if there is something to do business again in the future, then it will be more comfortable than now.
“It’s nothing. If you are close, it could be solved by asking.”
“… … .”
“I mean start with the main point. All right. I will tell you.”
Hong Wi-moon, who had emptied his glass coolly, said lightly.
“Does the Hwanhuiwon take care of maids too?”
“… … .”
“I would like you to give a secret order to one of the ladies-in-waiting.”
“Which maid are you talking about? What is the secret name?”
“Do you know a maid named Aenghwa?”
So Yeon-sim shook her head.
Hong Wi-moon smiled as if he knew that.
“This is a handmaid who works at the residence of the Three Gongja.”
“… … !”
“Please ask the child to send a letter describing the movement of the Three Gongs for three months. Every day if possible.”
In an instant, So Yeon-shim’s eyes fluttered.
“Are you planning to touch the Three Gongja?”
“I know you as someone who doesn’t ask unreasonable questions.”
“I didn’t see him as someone who would ask for an unreasonable favor.”
“Is that an unreasonable request?”
“That’s an unreasonable request. Do you know what will happen to me, who instigated it, if it is discovered that the child is reporting the daily life of the Three Gongs?”
“Take care so you don’t get caught.”
“It’s dangerous.”
Risk not impossible. At least it means you can do it.
“It is not particularly dangerous. You just have to live your life as usual. I just want you to send me a brief letter at the end of the day.”
“Even if the words are simple, how… … .”
“If there is a problem, it is easy to solve.”
“Is it easy?”
Hong Wi-moon said as she filled her cup.
“As empty as smoke from the beginning of the year is the truth.”
“… … .”
“If the smoking pipe disappears, it is impossible to know who smoked it.”
“… … !”
Soyeonsim’s face was hardened enough that anyone could see it now.
“You mean murder?”
“I was just saying the worst case scenario. You won’t actually be using your hands. You know?”
“… … .”
“If you accept that request, I will hand you a sage leaf plant. In case you don’t know, it’s genuine.”
silence for a moment.
It was a small heart that broke the silence.
“Anyway, it’s a tough request.”
“Won-ju.”
“It is not a matter of belief, it is a matter of uncertainty. I don’t know what kind of child Aenghwa is, but I can’t entrust her with work.”
“In that case, it would be okay to change the lady-in-waiting. As someone Wonju can trust and entrust to him.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”
Hong Wi-moon went into hardening.
“will you do it? Or will you give up?”
Soyeonsim’s mouth trembled.
Hong Yu-moon smiled with satisfaction. She realized she was almost over it.
He filled the cup of his little heart.
“Well then, I know the deal is done… … .”
It was then.
“Well, how long are you going to sip from a glass that’s stained with stains?”
In a moment of surprise, the two turned their heads.
A resounding voice spread beyond the door to the special room far away.
“Originally, I was told to drink the first tea lightly and the second tea thickly. Isn’t it time to finish the first day soon?”
“Who are you!”
The warrior who was waiting opened the door wide.
“… … !”
So Yeon-shim and Hong Wi-moon’s eyes shook.
Beyond the open door stood Xiliang holding a bottle of wine with a fox cub slung over his shoulder.
“Even though it’s cheap baekju, the glass is clean. What are you going to do? Would you like to come over, or would she rather enjoy the place?”
