[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

50 – The era of extraordinary sense (5) Hyeongju

Past years.

This is consistent with the saying that soul energy is full.

Men set their sights on learning at the age of fifteen, and women get married at the age of sixteen.

“Has so much time already passed?”

It’s already been like last year since Sima Yi came here holding Teacher Suqing’s hand, and Sima Yi has already matured to the point where he can be compared to an adult.

There’s still a little bit of baby fat left on her face, but once that’s gone, it’s no exaggeration to say she’s a fully grown adult.

“So, do you plan on getting married?”

“yes.”

It’s surprising.

I think Sima Yi would have said that he would not get married and that he would live alone for the rest of his life like Zhang Liang and then die, but surprisingly, Sima Yi had plans to get married.

“with who?”

“As you know.”

“…Uiya.”

I faced Sima Yi seriously.

“Are you serious?”

“I have never been sincere, Master.”

“You’ve been giving me trouble ever since I was little.”

Rather than feeling angry, I finally felt like ‘what’s coming has come.’

“Why?”

“I can’t help feeling like that. Just like when you throw something and it falls down, that’s just how my mind feels. Yes, it’s natural.”

“It’s nature.”

I heard that women gradually become interested in the opposite s*x from an older age.

However, I have never raised a child before, and I only knew what I heard from experience.

“I’m a little embarrassed.”

“You already knew, right?”

“Once again, I didn’t expect you to talk like this already.”

It was a truly unexpected time.

“Uiya, what did my dream say?”

“It is a life of idleness and whining about having one of the disciples become a high-ranking official. Later, the teacher’s dream is to become independent from Sugyeong School and open a small school called the Sun School, where he can receive silk and grains sent by his disciples and just breathe day by day. He said.”

“If possible, would you say it’s an empty remote island?”

“Isn’t reality a diagram of inaction?”

When I actually heard it, it sounded like trash.

It’s so shameless and trashy that you wonder if it’s okay for humans to be like this.

But that is my dream.

It is the end point of my life and the goal of my life.

“Okay, okay. Then, let me ask you a question.”

This is an important question for Sima Yi and me.

“Do you think I would give up my dreams for a woman?”

“no.”

Sima Yi’s answer was decisive.

We already knew each other very well, and Sima Yi knew the bottom of the human race better than anyone else.

“Master, he wouldn’t date a woman if he thought it would bother him.”

“You know me well.”

“So I thought about it differently.”

Sima Yi smiled softly at me.

“How would you feel if a high-ranking official proposed to you?”

“To what extent?”

“Um, Taewi level?”

“It’s too high. You’ve seen it too. We’re going through a difficult time where even those who are called the Great Emperor are running away. You wouldn’t know it during the reign, but in these times, rising to the rank of grand magistrate is the same as risking one’s life.”

“I thought something would have changed after what happened with Seoju.”

“People don’t change easily.”

After the Western Zhou massacre.

I started looking at people a little more.

But that doesn’t mean my life has changed dynamically.

In my life of taking care of only myself, I just want to live a life of taking care of the people around me if I have some spare time.

“If you had to choose between the ambition and desire within you, would you be able to choose easily?”

“It must be difficult.”

“Yes. You have to make a choice. You can’t have everything in life.”

“Yes. Normal people are like that.”

Sima Yi opened his fan.

Between the black-dyed fan blades, there were purple feathers that seemed to capture the sky.

“But I will have them all. You can be that greedy, right? It’s Sima Yi.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“I had no intention of taking the easy path from the beginning. There was Mount Tai in front of me from the beginning. But now.”

Sima Yi approached me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

“…I’ve grown to the point where I can reach the top of Mt. Taishan by climbing just a little bit?”

“That guy.”

I flicked Sima Yi’s forehead with my finger.

“You only do pranks like that after you become an adult.”

“I’m an adult. Next year will be the last year. Is that the age at which you can get married?”

“Then what does fifteen mean? You should at least talk about it after you turn twenty.”

Adults are twenty years old.

This is an immutable law that cannot be changed even if Confucius and Mencius come and talk about wisdom.

“In return, I promise. After five years, if your feelings haven’t changed then…”

It’s kind of embarrassing to talk back.

“I’m just going to lie down at home and roll around.”

“are you okay.”

“I’ll just eat, sleep, and sometimes play with the kids.”

“That alone is enough.”

“I won’t open a school or anything like that. Even if a high-ranking official comes, I won’t show my face.”

“On the contrary, that’s what I was hoping for. I also prefer coming home rather than having a private gathering.”

“If a female acquaintance or student comes, I won’t be able to easily dismiss him.”

“…that’s not possible.”

Sima Yi glared at me and held my hand tightly.

“While I’m working at the government, I can’t keep my eyes open and see strange things happening at home. I’m going to plant people there.”

“Am I being imprisoned?”

“That’s good. Should I just kill Geumtaeyang? I’ll be reborn as a new person.”

“You are such a scary child! You are trying to erase the traces that a man has built up all his life.”

“That’s what I want.”

Sima Yi looked up at me and smiled.

It was clearly looking up at me from below, but it felt as if a snake was creeping around my body from below.

“Master. You just need to stay quiet. And all you have to do is yell and complain at home that you have a wife who is a monk, or rather, a monk.”

“It’s no different from the limit.”

“That’s the life that Master wants. Don’t worry. There’s no way you’ll rebel and your family will be killed or anything like that.”

Sima Yi buried his face in my arms and hugged me.

“I will protect you, Master, so that no one can mistreat you.”

Crack.

Sima Yi bit my collar.

“I am a greedy woman.”

“It’s marriage. Well, you’re old enough so you can think about it.”

My adoptive mother, Chae-hyeon, did not come up with any solutions to my concerns.

“Mom, I’m serious right now.”

“If you’re serious, what’s the answer? My marriage, my sister’s marriage, they’re all far from ordinary marriages.”

“…That’s right.”

Chae-hyeon’s marriage was not just a marriage, but in reality it ended up being a union of families and clans.

The Hwang family was already living as if it were a branch of the Chae family, and the head of the family, Hwang Seung-eon, is still living his own life far away in a different place.

“Is your adoptive father not here today?”

“Yes. He gave me gold a while ago and left again. How can there be such noble people in the world? I heard that for 10 days, I was looking for just one person and talked to him and made friends with him.”

“Is that a way to become friends?”

“That’s right. I went to talk to him even after hearing him say ‘I don’t see any benefit in talking to you’ right in front of him. He’s not an ordinary strange man.”

“It seems like the opponent is a formidable person.”

“Is that so? Ugh. Still, it was nice of you to leave a piece of gold for your own home, but… it seems like you’ve been moving around more since you became an adopted son.”

“No way.”

“No. It’s true. I take care of all the affairs of the family, and you think that you are the head of the family, even if only in name.”

“…….”

At a time when thieves are running rampant and the world is in turmoil.

What kind of life does Hwang Seung-eon live?

If there were no problems with bandits, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to escape the war and live as you please in the southern part of Hyeongju, Ikju, or Dongo.

It’s a problem because it’s something a married head of a household does.

“Isn’t the responsibility of being the head of a household truly enormous? What on earth is marriage?”

“I want to tell you not to do it, but if you do it, there’s no need to stop you? I don’t know, but my younger brother said that’s the case.”

“Did Mrs. Chae say that?”

“No. Mo. Can you make a seat for me later?”

“…hahahaha, I decline.”

Chaemo.

I know him, but he’s not a particularly friendly guy.

“Still, it seems to me that your son is mentally prepared to be the best, right?”

“yes?”

“You’re thinking seriously about marriage.”

“…….”

It was not a matter to think about in vain.

As the saying goes, marriage is a matter of human ethics, and it was not something to be decided rashly.

“Mom, if I were to say, ‘I want to marry someone!’ would you allow me to get married?”

“huh.”

“yes?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Are you the one who will listen to me trying to stop you? In my opinion, you are that kind of person.”

Chaehyun looked at me and shook her head.

“A man whose eyes turn when he falls in love, who throws away everything and devotes himself to a woman?”

“Hey, me? That’s not it.”

“You never know. Have you ever loved someone passionately?”

“…….”

does not exist.

I was so busy with life that I didn’t even think about it.

“My son, I thought you knew everything, but you don’t know love.”

“Then, mother, do you know love?”

“Of course. How much I love my son.”

“It’s a little different from that, hahahaha, no.”

If I say more here, I’ll be the only one with a headache.

“Son, I am welcome to marry anyone. If possible, it would be better if it comes from a prestigious family, especially someone holding a high government position. hehehe, I think you will not be able to compare yourself to the hill called Yupyo, but rather the hill you have built.”

“It would be the person who would be my wife, rather than me.”

“Yes. It would be nice if my wife-to-be were a very high-ranking person. How about someone who is appointed king by the emperor?”

“That’s a bit much.”

I’m worried that someone might hear it.

“I understand. It’s late. I’m going to sleep overnight today…”

“Oh, by the way. I heard my sister is pregnant.”

“……yes?”

pregnancy.

Brother.

Mrs. Chae.

“when?”

“…Three months ago?”

“…….”

“hehehe, your expression suddenly gets worse? Why is that? Huh?”

“…Oh, it’s nothing.”

Chaehyun patted my shoulder with a fan.

“Don’t worry. I’m still here. Or is that more of a worry?”

“It’s not because of that.”

“Really? I thought that was definitely the case.”

Chaehyun covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

“Sometime after my younger brother gives birth, we’ll schedule a day where the three of us can have another drink together. hehehehe.”
