EP.251

“This room would be nice. “Please stay here from today.”

Lunchtime after the chaotic morning work hours. I took Lim Ha-yeon to visit the main building of the print shop.

“Ugh…”

Why did Lim Ha-yeon not even pretend to listen to me and bang her head against the wall?

“Hayeon Sojeo?”

“How…”

“Hmm?”

“How can you just say it’s nothing and get away alone?”

Lim Ha-yeon looked at me with an expression of injustice in the world and asked.

Have you been bothered by the staff a lot in the morning?

No one except me can enter the attic of Daseogak, so it’s easy to cause misunderstandings. Even before going down, Ha-yeon Lim had just washed up, her hair was clearly damp, and she had even changed her clothes.

But I’ve been busy since morning too.

“Usually, the best thing to do is to just pretend like nothing happened.”

Even if you make a fuss and deny it, you will be misunderstood, and if you affirm it, you will be in bigger trouble. It’s best to just ignore it calmly.

“Do you know how difficult it was for me to just check in the morning and then disappear? Soso continued to question me with shining eyes, asking if the advice was helpful, but the other female employees were nonchalant…”

Was the situation more difficult than I thought?

“Just accept it calmly.”

“I don’t know. really! “What should I do if all the rumors spread among the employees?”

Lim Ha-yeon asked me with a worried face, like a woman caught having a secret male relationship.

“Why are you so worried?”

“That much?”

“I’m not going to go to work at the same time anymore.”

“uh?!”

Ha-yeon Lim couldn’t keep her mouth shut at my words with a shocked expression on her face.

Since there is an employee who works at a printing shop, naturally rumors will spread that Lim Ha-yeon and I are living together at the printing shop.

Responding one by one will only encourage misunderstanding.

Im Ha-yeon must have understood the situation, but could not escape from the shock, looking as if she had fallen into an unexpected trap.

“Prince Kang.”

“Ha pyodu.”

Was it because he suddenly said in the morning that he wanted to work at a printing shop? Ha Pyo-du of Seocheonpyo-guk came to see me as the person in charge of guarding the printing office.

“The main house has been cleaned in advance, so there is no problem in moving in from today. “However, can you tell us why you are asking us to strengthen security?”

“As you may know, I had my life threatened in the middle of Uichang not long ago. “Now, if I hear a rumor that the dark-haired manager of Daseogak has moved, I worry that someone will take the initiative and climb over the wall.”

I don’t know how many warriors will come to transport Lim Ha-yeon away. I used my security as an excuse to make a special request to Pyodu.

“I wonder if there are robbers who would dare target the mansion guarded by Seocheonpyoguk. We will increase security starting today. And what about the person next to you?”

When Ha Pyo-du looked at Im Ha-yeon, she quickly adjusted her shocked expression and looked out the window with a calm expression.

That kind of attitude encourages misunderstanding. Why are you trimming the hair under your ears all of a sudden? What’s new?

Say something.

“Starting today, I am an employee who will live at the print shop and manage it.”

“….”

Why is he suddenly glaring at me?

“I see. It certainly seemed like there had to be at least one full-time employee. You probably already know all about the facilities. “The kitchen hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Would you like to use it?”

“It’s the kitchen… Hayeon Sojeo. “Do you know how to cook?”

“…The tea is brewed well.”

Ha-yeon Lim played with her hair and avoided my gaze as if she was unsure.

I can’t. Well, I’ve heard that courtesans learn to dance and sing, but I don’t think I’ve heard that they learn cooking separately.

“It’s not urgent, so please just clean it up.”

“I will do that.”

Ha Pyo-du nodded and left to go back to his business. Anyway, it’s a kitchen.

“I wonder when I will be able to eat a warm meal prepared by a woman…”

Even Sega’s successor, Salsu Dok-in. If you think about it, they were all women who were reluctant to cook.

The dream of waking up in the morning and having a woman put on an apron and cook for you seems unlikely to be realized in the future.

“….”

Lim Ha-yeon I didn’t say that to you. Since you are silent for no reason, it seems like I made a comment that caused misunderstanding.

“Let’s move some stuff together later.”

I told Lim Ha-yeon about my future behavior and discussed my future plans.

***************

“I’m here? We are finally living together! I definitely knew this would happen! men and horses! “You won, give me the money!”

The evening after work was over. Lim Ha-yeon stopped by the Haomun branch to see if there was any news from Wuhan.

“Brother, why are you trying to take my subordinate’s money?”

“I told you to call me branch manager, not brother!”

“It’s not like that.”

What on earth did he bet with himself?

Lim Ha-yeon wanted to say something, but since the branch manager’s prediction was correct, she thought that asking would only get more difficult, so she just clumsily denied it.

“No, it’s not true. Now that I think about it, Manager Kang is the courtesan’s courtesan, so is he a pillar of the court? “No, we’re giving you a house and we’re living together, so why don’t we just move in?”

“Nuniragyooooo.”

Ha-yeon Lim gritted her teeth and denied with anger.

“ha ha ha! okay. “Your husband came in the morning and paid a generous amount of money to inspect the umbrella business.”

“Already?”

That’s why he disappeared in the morning.

The news of the move was announced to Seocheonpyo Bureau and even a request was made to Haomun.

Ha-yeon Lim felt her resentment disappear when she realized that the reason Kang Yun-ho got her in trouble and disappeared in the morning was to solve his own problem.

“Although I am reluctant to investigate other branches, I cannot say that we are both strangers, so I will help you as much as I can. “I will look after Wuhan as much as possible, so I am staying in Uichang for now.”

One side is the person who brought about the black war for a close friend and the other is the close friend’s agenda. One is a close friend’s daughter. The Uichang branch leader decided to step forward for the two people.

Of course, a big reason was that Kang Yun-ho gave him plenty of money.

“thank you.”

“If you’d like to thank me, please dig up some information about your boss. “Even if we talk about the party’s affairs, the correct information does not come out.”

“Were you still investigating?”

“I’m hearing only strange information? He was the leader of some great band of thieves, a swindler who sold fake drugs that deceived the entire village, and even bullshit that he was a loser from the old days. Is this information or a bunch of trash? If this continues, even Kang Tae-gong will come out just because he has the Kang surname.”

“Because black hair isn’t rare.”

“okay. If you go to Wuhan right now, you can see a lot of black hair. I want to attach credible information and sell it at a high price with premium information. “If this happens, we have to dig up the Tang family, but it’s dangerous to sell the Tang family incorrectly.”

The branch manager grumbled as if he was disappointed.

The head of the Tang family has an illegitimate child.

It was certainly surprising information, but it was not news that the head of the Shaolin Temple had an illegitimate child, nor that the head of the Tang family had an illegitimate child, which was not enough to sell as top-notch information in Haomun.

“I have no intention of handing over Manager Kang Yun-ho’s information.”

“It’s okay to be mean about my Western affairs.”

“It’s not right!”

“I’m not deaf yet! Otherwise, keep one thing in mind in the future.”

The Uichang branch leader lost his playful expression and looked at his friend’s daughter with a serious expression.

“What?”

“Cheonggi, who does not know men, will treat her with honor at Giru even if she is a runaway courtesan. However, I don’t know what will happen to a courtesan who spends one night with a man without Giru’s permission.”

A courtesan is Giru’s property. The courtesan’s body is not her own.

Im Ha-yeon also knew what kind of situation a courtesan could end up in if she had a forbidden love.

“…I know that much. “I’ll go.”

“okay. “Be nice to the West!”

“That’s not it!”

———————

一 Be nice to the West.

“It’s not that kind of relationship.”

Ha-yeon Lim grumbled as the branch manager’s last words lingered in her ears and headed to the printing office.

The West. I was caught off guard because we weren’t in the same room. A man and a woman living together in the main house. It means that they are actually living together.

It may only take a moment for rumors to spread among employees. The man moved his residence for her, but the news that the two were suddenly living together was enough to cause misunderstanding.

“What can I really say?”

“Meat is on sale! Meat for slaughter! Soup street! Sozer there! There’s meat here! Buy it cheaply!”

Ha-yeon Lim stopped when she heard the butcher’s voice while she was busy walking.

For a moment, the meat on display in front of me reminded me of what the man said at lunch today.

When will I be able to eat warm food prepared by a woman?

Lim Ha-yeon remembered Kang Yun-ho’s regretful voice.

Just because she is a courtesan who has to give pleasure to men does not mean she learns how to cook separately. Rather, there is no need to learn cooking separately. Because the life of a courtesan is different from the life of an ordinary woman.

For a gisaeng, a man meant maintaining her status as a gisaeng, from a pillar room that would provide comfort for a night, to a customer he liked buying a miracle and taking her as a concubine.

In any case, neither of them needed to learn how to cook.

However, strangely enough, Lim Ha-yeon found it difficult to leave the butcher shop.

‘Manager Kang Yun-ho is the child of a courtesan.’

Maybe he lived a life far from the warm food a woman cooked for him since he was young. Even after coming to Jungwon, he lived as a beggar, so his life must have been far from that of a woman.

A man who works hard to take care of himself in the morning. Thinking that this was the wish of such a man, Lim Ha-yeon could not easily take a step forward.

“If you’re not good at cooking, there’s pork cutlet here, so take it.”

The butcher showed Lim Ha-yeon a pork cutlet that just needs to be fried and said.

“How did you know I’m not good at cooking?”

“Just by looking at her, she looks like a new wife who can’t cook. All you have to do is add oil and fry properly and your husband will love it. “The pork cutlet sauce is sold separately, so I buy it.”

Im Ha-yeon’s eyes fell on the pork cutlet in the butcher’s hand without even thinking about denying that she was a new wife.

How much money was in your pocket? Most of my salary was swindled by the inn owner, so I had money in my pocket that was not enough to even stay in the inn for one night.

‘There is no need for a courtesan to learn to cook.’

Still, you never know.

Perhaps one day, a man who runs a store will appear who will save up all the money he has and buy a miracle for himself.

If that happens, the man will only be able to eat meat that is on sale. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to practice cooking for that time?

I don’t really want to cook for that man, but there are contingencies.

Maybe I could think of it as practice for the future and cook for him.

“Would you like a pork cutlet?”

When I think about it, the pork cutlet seems too heartless. Frying in boiling oil. Doesn’t she seem like a woman who is not good at cooking?

If you put your mind to it, you can make even greater dishes.

“Please give me pork.”

It’s not because I’m worried that it might seem insincere to the man. She bought meat at the butcher’s and hurried her steps again.

Ha-yeon Lim spent all the money she had in her pocket, but somehow, her steps towards her home with Kang Yun-ho were light.
