Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 175
Minute 5
-Boooo. Booooo.
The busy sound of the golden phoenixes flying overhead continued.
Until yesterday, the guys were holed up in the hive and making a room with beeswax, but it seemed like they were going to start filling the hive with honey in earnest from today.
Those heading towards Danggasan and those going back and forth to the large lotus flowers blooming in the pond.
-Wha-eung. Wa-eung.
“Oh, okay, thanks for your hard work.”
A few of them flew over and greeted me as I sat in the pond pavilion, perhaps because they saw me passing by.
I waved back at the guys, and they flew away towards Danggasan Mountain with brisk flapping of their wings.
Well, the sound of bees’ wings fluttering is the same, but the reason why I thought the sound of their wings fluttering felt cheerful today was because they really liked their home.
Yesterday, I went in to check if the interior construction was going well, and when they saw me, they were so thankful that they ran towards each other and it was chaos.
It was so hard to refuse when they kept making a fuss about exchanging nutrients with each other.
The building was large and spacious with five floors, so it seemed that he really liked his new house and wanted to express his feelings.
‘Phew… Dozens of flickering tongues were really hard.’
To be honest, this house was incomparable to my previous house.
No matter how big and good an old tree that was hundreds of years old was, it was obvious that its interior could not be as spacious as a man-made pavilion, and it was also inevitable that an old tree would be dirty and infested with various bugs.
Since it’s a log cabin, ventilation is bound to be poor, and water might leak in from above when it rains, right?
However, the five-story building I prepared for them was state-of-the-art in many ways, so they seemed to like it.
It had a roof to block direct sunlight, and in case it got too hot, there were windows for ventilation, so it was perfect for a beehive in many ways.
Even the Golden Phoenix guys are smart, so when I showed them the purpose of the window, they used it very well.
“The guys seem to really like their new home. The sound of their wings flapping as they fly is really exciting···.”
“Of course. It’s a five-story building, so of course you’ll like it···.”
As I spoke, looking at the backs of the flying guys, I heard Hwa-eun’s sharp voice from the side.
Regarding my action of giving the five-story pavilion to King Geummobong as his new home, Grandfather Mandokshin had no particular comment.
All he said was a few words with a slightly embarrassed expression.
‘Ahem… Well, it’s up to the head of the household to decide on major and minor matters…’
But the reason Hwa-eun was a little grumpy was because this was her favorite place.
It’s mostly empty because it’s only used a few times a year, but it’s said that it was a place where Hwa-eun would sometimes come to heal when she was feeling depressed?
Even though I introduced Hwa-eun to Lang-hu out of regret and made it possible for her to enter the palace at any time, it was clear that she still felt a little resentful.
He smiled and said, gently holding Hwa-eun’s hand.
“Are you still sad? Hwa-eun?”
“Oh, no. It’s a bit disappointing. Just like So-ryong said, once you enter the palace, there are a lot of ‘friends’ there.”
Hwa-eun honestly doesn’t have any friends, so I made some for her, but this is going to be a problem.
But I am a broad-minded man.
He held Hwa-eun’s hand, which was still pointed, a little tighter and spoke in a quiet voice.
“But this place is really nice.”
“Yes, the pond seen from the top of the five-story pavilion was really beautiful…”
“No, that’s not what I meant. There are flowers and bees. Now, if only there were butterflies, I would think this place would be like a paradise.”
“yes?”
There are flowers like Hwa-eun and butterflies like Geummo-bong-wang, and Hwa-eun turns her head away in embarrassment and fanns herself when I say that if only there were butterflies, this would be paradise.
It seems that he was trying to nag me by turning the five-story pavilion that Hwa-eun liked into the house of King Geummo Bong-wang, but it was a waste of time.
At that time, after forcibly releasing Hwa-eun from her duties as a doctor, he was spending some leisurely time in the pond pavilion.
-Beep. Beep. Beep.
A signal came from the direction of the Tang family’s Gujinmun.
Three beeps calling the direct line.
Hwa-eun and I faced each other and quickly performed lightness moves toward Gujinmun.
I guess it seemed like a guest had arrived.
“It looks like we have guests.”
“Let’s go.”
After kicking out Hwa-eun and Jeong-ja, we run a little down the road and see the main road leading to Gujinmun ahead.
As we ran down the mountain along the road, the Tangga Gujinmun Gate came into view against the backdrop of the cool, flowing river.
And when you pass through the nine gates from the ninth gate and arrive at the first gate, what you see in front of you is the craftsman.
I thought a guest had arrived, but it seemed that it was not a guest, but the master of the house, who had returned.
“Hello, Father-in-law!?”
I ran to my father-in-law whom I hadn’t seen in a long time and greeted him warmly. My father-in-law smiled.
“Oh, son-in-law! You have arrived.”
“father!”
“Did Hwa-eun come back safely?”
Currently, throughout the Central Plains, the Emperor’s commanding officers and martial artists are taking action to root out the Blood Cult.
If you learn the martial arts of the Blood Sect, your blood flow will be faster, so if you feel the pulse, you can catch it with a fairly high probability, so random blood pressure checks are taking place on the streets.
That is why the Tang family also participated in this blood pressure control, and the craftsman led the warriors to the castle, and it seemed that he was returning after completing the mission.
‘By the way, aren’t all the hypertensive patients being arrested too?’
I had some doubts about the crackdown process, but the Central Plains that I learned from history was a place where it wouldn’t be strange for something like that to happen.
Thinking, ‘Wouldn’t the craftsman have known how to do it?’, I decided to guide the craftsman in front of him.
“Okay, then let’s go in. I wonder what happened. Oh, and Hwayang is now···”
So I was trying to invite the craftsman in.
The craftsman who had stopped us stepped aside slightly and spoke.

“Please wait a moment, son-in-law. I have brought guests, so you two should greet them.”
“Customer?”
“Are you a customer?”
As the warriors split behind the craftsman who had stepped aside, three people walked out from inside.
A fat man in official attire, an old man in armor, and an old swordsman with a familiar face were all smiling.
One of them is the head of the Cheongseongpa faction who used to come running to help Dangga.
The other two looked like they were missing people at first glance, so I quickly greeted them.
“Nice to meet you. I am the little dragon of the Beast Palace. I greet you as the son-in-law of the Tang family.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Dang Hwa-eun.”
“This is the Lord of Sacheon, Ho Gwan-yu. And this is General Maeng Gyu-seong of the Iron Cavalry Corps, who was sent down from the imperial family. Everyone knows Baek Heo-ja, the leader of the Cheongseong faction.”
The craftsman who introduces us to Sebun during our greeting.
As expected, they were all high-ranking officials.
“Oh, these two are the daughter and son-in-law of the Tang lord? I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time. It’s nice to meet you. Is this how I meet my benefactor?”
“Oh. Is this the son-in-law of the Tang family?”
“How have you been? I saw you last time. Nice to meet you. Sohyeop. Long time no see.”
The craftsman who brought the Lord of Sacheon and the General of the Imperial Army’s Iron Troops as guests.
When Hwa-eun and I looked surprised, the father-in-law smiled and said,
“They caught five of the Blood Cult members who had been hiding in Sacheon, and they wiped out the place where they had been recruiting people. They invited them all together to have a drink.
“I guess it’s better at home than outside.”
My father-in-law invited his co-workers over for a drink after work outside.
I was worried that I would get scolded by my mother-in-law for bringing a drunk guest to my house without saying anything, but my father-in-law smiled cheerfully and asked Hwa-eun to do it.
“Hahaha, Hwaeun, hurry up and run and ask your mother to look after the drinking table at Dokhwaru. The lotus flowers are in full bloom right now and will be beautiful, so it will be a great place to entertain guests.”
At that question, Hwa-eun looked at me with an expression that said, “What on earth am I going to do now?”
‘No, did you know I would end up like this? The timing was really…’
They say life is all about timing, and I really felt that the timing of my life was an art in many ways.
***
-Whaaah. Boooooong.
The Golden Phoenix Kings, passing by, came by and watched the drinking party with curious expressions.
The guests flinched and became tense at the sight.
“Wow, this is my first time at a drinking party like this.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“I saw it last time too, but it’s really amazing.”
I was a little taken aback by my father-in-law’s sudden request to have a drinking party at Dokhwaru, but what could I do? I had to have it somewhere as close as possible.
For that reason, the drinking party was held in a pavilion next to the pond.
Although the King of Geummobong was sensitive to vibrations, he was able to prepare because he was located across the pond from the pavilion and on the top floor of a wooden building, so he was not very sensitive to the sound of human footsteps.
The guests were tense and couldn’t even get a drink as the golden phoenixes flew overhead and some curious ones flew up to the drinking table.
“Our children don’t shoot people recklessly, so you don’t have to worry.”
Se-min smiled awkwardly when I explained to him that he didn’t need to be so nervous.
“Ahaha. Is that so?”
“Oh, I see.”
“Ahahaha···.”
Then the craftsman’s embarrassed voice was heard.
[No, you bastard. If something like this had happened, you should have told me in advance. What are you going to do if you set up a drinking party here?
Our party is doing various things in Sacheon, so we wanted to give a line to the Sacheon Castle Lord and the Imperial Guard.
I wondered why the craftsman had invited such high-ranking officials, but it turns out there was a reason for that.
The Tang family has several businesses in Sacheon and also sells medicinal herbs and other things to other places, so it seems that they were trying to entertain the Sacheon Lord and the captain of the iron cavalry of the imperial army and open up a new sales route.
‘That was the reason.’
If that’s the reason, then this son-in-law can’t just sit still.
He approached the craftsman and whispered in his ear.
[Then, leave it to me.]
[Huh? To you?]
The craftsman blinks when I ask him to leave it to me.
He spoke to the guests, holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
“Can I offer you a drink?”
Then the guests who were looking at each other slowly nodded their heads.
“Oh, that’s right.”
“Yes, it’s my first time, so I’m a little flustered. I’ve been in battles before. Pour me a drink.”
So, after receiving permission from the guests, he stood up with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
But instead of pouring the drink, he shouted across the pond.
“Langhuya!”
Let’s shout across the pond, the sound spreading.
Soon the humming sound from the fifth floor of the pavilion died down, and Langhu, still slender, poked her head out through the window.
“Wait a minute!”
Originally, the queen bee rarely leaves the house, but since she had only recently migrated, I thought she might come this far if I asked her to.
As expected, Ranhu flew up from the window and headed towards us at full speed.
Langhu, who arrived right in front of me, tilted his head with a puzzled expression as if asking why I called him.
-Huh?
I whispered my request very, very carefully in response to the guy’s question.
[Could you drop a little bit of what you gave me to eat last time on here? I’m not going to eat it, so something a little weaker.]
I was wondering if it would work out, but we’ve become closer recently, and I even gave him a name, so I thought he’d do this much, and of course he did!
When the bottle of wine was thrust into his mouth, Langhu tilted his head, then flew up to the bottle and dropped a drop of golden liquid from his mouth.
If that doesn’t work, I was just going to substitute it with honey, nice.
-Again. Bang!
A refreshing aroma spreads as the golden liquid drips into the alcohol with a thud.
“Thank you. I’m sorry for calling you out. You can go in and rest now. I’ll be busy preparing to lay eggs from now on.”
After patting the guy on the head and sending him away, he shook the bottle of liquor like a bartender and said.
“What I dropped into this wine is a treasure that contains the energy of a mid-level elixir that only the Queen of the Golden Phoenix King can produce once every ten years. I will offer you a drink.”
To be honest, I just made up the word ten years in case someone keeps coming to ask for it, but it is a drink with one drop of elixir added to it for those who have learned martial arts, excluding the Sacheonseongju.
Isn’t this the best hospitality?
As expected, as soon as I finished speaking, the four adults held the glass politely with both hands and quickly offered it to me.
It’s like they’re competing to get it first.
“Oh, thank you.”
“Yes, Dangga is very good at serving guests.”
“I deserve this kind of treatment. Isn’t that right?”
Bonghouwangjangju (蜂后王浆酒) made from Bongwangjang (蜂王浆) is served only to honored guests.
It was the first treat.
