Chapter 73

“Am I right now?”

Geom Woo-bin blinked and turned his gaze to Seo Seok-san. As if Seo Seok-san was also bewildered, she was smoking a tantrum.

―Geum Hong-ah, am I really out of touch, or is she being cruel?

At this, Seo Seok-san and Yeon Ji-hong exchanged messages. “I… You know I’m thirteen, right?”

“Yeah, I’m 18 too. It’s a good age to get married.”

Suddenly, Geom Woo-bin remembered Jegal-hoon’s Jeon Seo-gu. When he asked why she sent the recipe for the famous painting soup… It seemed that the reason was really because of Zhuge Sega.

“Cadet! I’ve come a long way and I’m tired. Will I have a room? It could be next to your room. It’s a bit like we’re still sharing the same room.”

“…”

Geom Woo-bin made his mind that he had to give his own room. “It’s here.”

Geom Woo-bin hurriedly ignored the room she had prepared, and she led her to the farthest room. As a result, it became a simple room with only a bed, a table, and a small library. However, Zhuge Sega didn’t care at all.

“Good. Will you always wake me up to eat? If you don’t wake up, put it in your mouth. It is my iron rule that I never skip meals.”

He was so tired that he slept for two days. When he woke up to eat, they asked him to bring it like a sleep talker, and when he brought it, the rice was emptied cleanly and only the empty bowl was brought out. Oh Da-rae, who served as the attendant, thought it was the first time she had such a comfortable boss.

As she came out with her empty bowl, a passing Geom Woo-bin asked. “How about the Zhuge Sega? Isn’t it uncomfortable to live with?”

“I slept all day, so I couldn’t hear a voice.”

“How about a meal?”

Oh Da-rae showed her empty bowl to Geom Woo-bin. “You’re doing it little by little.”

“It doesn’t look like it hurts, so that’s okay.”

Geom Woo-bin turned around and let out a sigh of relief. She was forced to accept, but she was a rather annoying guest than I thought. Because of her, all the characters in her manor had to be careful of her words and actions. “I’ll have to think of a way to get it back….”

For some reason, the thought that the recipe for the famous painting soup would not be expensive ran through her head.

Zhuge Sega lived quietly as if there was no one. He had no choice but to be quiet because he had only a few waking hours in the day. He ate breakfast and swung around the manor, talked for a while with Gum Woo-bin, then went to sleep, woke up at lunch to eat, and when he met a Blood Lion, they chatted and fell asleep.

After spending three days like that, some workers did not even know that a guest had arrived at the Oseon Manor. After lunch, Oh Darae went to Zhuge Sega’s room with fruits and tea for dessert.

“Girl, have dessert.”

There was no answer, so I carefully opened the door, but he heard a low snoring sound. He has only eaten half an hour and was already asleep. He even wondered if he had a disease of sleeping too much. Oh Darae was putting a tray on his table when Zhuge’s palm broke.

“Uh? Did you bring something to eat?”

“Yes. I prepared some tea and some leeks.”

Zhuge Sega, rubbing his eyes with a yawn, got out of bed and sat down on a chair. “Thank you. I will eat well.”

Oh Da-rae thought that Zhuge Palm-ryeo was very strange. He was like that, he just slept and didn’t do anything special, he then ate all his meals like that… Surprisingly, the Zhuge Palm didn’t have the slightest bit of flesh.

In addition, Moorimmae was polite and not like a woman. “Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?”

“What is inconvenient? I love it so much that I think I will live here for the rest of my life.”

Zhuge Sega spit out the story that would have been terrifying if Geom Woo-bin heard it. In fact, he was thinking that he would like to serve him for the rest of his life if he was such a comfortable boss. As Zhuge Palm was peeling the red lychee, Oh Da-rae said cautiously. “Girl, I have a bit of mucus in my eyes.”

From Zhuge Sega’s eyes rubbing his eyes, a drop of mucus of a considerable size fell. “Wow! It’s king! Are you there again?”

“Yes. A little bit on the inside of the left eye….”

Only then did Oh Darae realize his mistake and added his words. “Can I heat the bathwater?”

Zhuge Sega waved his hand. “it’s okay. I can’t go anywhere.”

“Then let’s go.”

Zhuge Sega, who was left alone, looked out the window. The garden filled with warm sunlight seemed like the most peaceful space in the world. It was good weather for a walk. Zhuge Sega, who had eaten both tea and lychee, got up, pushing the empty plate to one side.

“Ah! I’m sleepy.” Then he dug into the duvet.

After taking a sip of tea, Do Pyeong-su then asked Jeon Yeon-hong. “Why did that kid really come here? It’s so strange that he came because he had nowhere to go. Is the death penalty really the purpose?”

When he first came, he thought he was clearly aiming for the ambassador, but seeing that he came and lived, it seemed that he came to eat for free and sleep well. “I will find out.”

The three of them had puzzled faces at the words of Yeon Ji-hong. “How?”

“Catch him, torture him, and ask him what?”

The three nodded. “Yeah, that’s a good way.”

Geum Hong then sighed. “What is a good method? How come you don’t think like this?”

Do Pyeong-su murmured as he looked at the outgoing Geum Hong. “Why do you get angry when you say you’re going to do it?”

Ignoring the protests of the three, Yeon Ji-hong went to Zhuge Sega’s room. He was surprised to see him and asked Oh Darae, who greeted him. “Where’s Zhuge?”

“He’s probably sleeping?”

“Huh?”

It was convenient because you don’t have to worry about anything else… “I get it.”

After sending Oda-rae in, Jeon Yeong-hong knocked on the door. Zhuge Sega’s voice, full of sleep, was heard from inside. “If the sky doesn’t fall, I’ll just cut it.”

Geum Hong opened the door and poked his head inside. “Am I trying to give you a good view?”

“Auntie.”

When Geum Hong arrived, Zhuge Sega forced himself to stand up. A patient who had been seriously ill for several years seemed to be moving. “What kind of sight is it?”

“Follow me and you will know.”

It was on the roof overlooking the blacksmith’s smithy where Yeonjun Hong took Zhuge Sega. “It’s a wonderful scene that can only be seen at this time.”

Where her gaze stopped, there was Seong-tak, who was quenching with her top off. “Wow! Look at those muscles! There are many people in our Sega who have mastered the martial arts, but I have never seen such sassy and delicate muscles!”

“Right? It looks like you’ve stripped all the bear’s hair.” “

Oh Seon Manor is heaven, heaven, I say.”

“Here?”

“No one interferes. Even if I roll around in bed all day, no one nags. There are no guests, so there is no need to wash up, and when you wake up, you can enjoy this view. How could it be more perfect than this?”

Geum Hong then took out a portable tea canister from his pocket and poured tea into a cup with a lid. “There is even the most delicious tea in the world.”

It was the car that Eun Bi-yeon took care of when they parted. As he was in Zhuge, he was able to drink a lot of tea, and when he tasted the Zhuge Sega, his eyes widened. “What car is this? Oh my gosh! How can tea taste like this?”

“I told you. It is the most delicious tea in the world.”

When Gong Seong-tak changed to a large hammer and quenched it, it seemed that the muscle would break through the skin at any moment. Zhuge Jong-ryeo, who was looking at him, said: “Can I just keep living here?”

“Are you ready to continue living?”

“Hey, I’m shy too. There has to be a good reason for that.”

“A good excuse?”

“Well….”

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Sega spoke. “Originally, I was going to ask Woobin to marry me. But now that I’ve been there, I think it would be much better for me to get married.”

He couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking just by looking at his face. “I’m serious?”

“Of course. You have such a pretty aunt. Aunt, how are you so pretty? I hardly ever wear makeup. Were you in the first place? Can I call you my sister?”

“What about your sister? I hate it when others see it. Ho ho ho!”

“Oh! After waking up today, I need to go to the market.”

“Why the market?” “I came all the way to Hangzhou, but I have to see the city.”

Zhuge Sega raised his arm and sniffed himself. “I don’t think it smells. Aren’t you?”

“Huh.”

“Then we can just leave. I’m tired of washing. Hehe!”

“Are you just going to the market to see?”

“I’m going to go buy some books.”

“Why a book?”

“Woo-bin likes books. She might be a westerner, but she has to look good when she can. I will clean this up.”

At the same time, the quenching of Gong Seong-tak was finished, and the Zhuge Sega went down the roof without any regrets. Even though he hadn’t washed it, the clothes Odarae gave him were clean. After he yawned profusely, he left the room and Sehwa was waiting for him. After watching Sehwa for a moment, Zhuge Sega clapped her hands. “Ah! Are you your aunt’s disciple? The name is….”

“It’s Sehwa. I will guide you through the city.”

“Really? that is great. I was very worried about getting lost. Hehe!”

“But you want to go out like that?” Zhuge Sega, who had roughly trimmed his hair by hand, put a furoshiki over his head and under his eyes.

“Isn’t this messy enough?”

He wanted to say that he built a new house on his head, but Sehwa, who was not in a position to nag her to wash, just nodded. The first place Zhuge Sega stopped by out of town was a bookstore. ‘Still, Zhuge’s women are different. He kept his books close even after running away.’

After walking around the musty-smelling bookstore for half an hour, Zhuge chose 20 books. “What books do you buy so much?”

“It’s a novel. Especially this author’s novel is amazing. I love writing scenes that I love really well.”

Because they had bought in bulk, the owner was happy to take care of the delivery as well. After leaving the bookstore, Zhuge Sega went into the confectionery store opposite him. She made a beautiful flower by choosing from all the colorful sweets in her box.

A satisfied expression, as if he had everything in the world, appeared on Zhuge’s face. “I won’t be bored in bed for the next full month. Hehe!”

That meant I won’t go back to Sega for a full month…

‘Looks like he’s going to live in a manor at all.’

Even if it was hard to see a person’s face, it was tiring if one should have a secret to hide. “Can you go to the manor alone? I have to go to the place where the girder is built.” Palmer Sega, who was taking out a cookie and muttering, clasped Sehwa’s arms.

“Unni, can I take a look around?”

“It’s not finished yet, so there shouldn’t be anything to see.”

“I’m not going to go get a drink anyway, so what does that matter?”

Sehwa had no choice but to take Zhuge Palm to the construction site. “Uh-huh! Whether there is a person in charge or not, if an official has to stop the construction, what do you have to say?”

When Sehwa went inside, one worker was stunned in front of the three officials. “I’m in charge, what’s going on?”

The official looked up and down Sehwa. “A woman?”

“Does the construction have to be stopped because a woman is in charge?”

“It’s not, the documentation is wrong and the construction is halted while we fix it.”

“What documents?”

“I don’t know.” Sehwa then spoke, suppressing the anger that was about to explode. “There is no stopping the construction unless it is an official document.”

“Do you dare to disobey the commander’s orders?”

In fact, if one had to try to set up a fish farm at a construction site, one can catch hundreds of pods. That was why he always paid bribes on coffins for big projects, and Sehwa also spent ten hermits to put money here and there. It was partly thanks to Oh Seon-won’s fame, but it was also because of Sehwa’s back money that so far there had been no obstruction of the coffin.

In other words, Sehwa thought that if a government official was now arguing, there was a high possibility that something else had intervened. “Where did you tell me to disrupt the construction?”

“What do you mean?”

“Tell us, and we will fix it.”

“Uh-huh! Saying that your work was wrong….”

“Don’t make things you can’t take responsibility for. For just a few pennies!”

“You dare frame us as corrupt officials! I was trying to get over it….”

Bang! A board flew and locked itself in the wall with a loud sound, and the officer’s face was right next to it.

“Hey, what is this…?” Zhuge Sega’s words penetrated through the stuttering officer’s voice.

“It looks like they are money-loving officials, but since there is no way for such people to have an eye, it won’t be resolved if I tell them who I am, right?”

With that, the officers flinched at the woman’s words, whose face was half-covered with a strange cloth.

“Just wait for a moment.”
