51 – The era of extraordinary sense (6)

The culmination of a marriage alliance is, of course, a child.

Since ancient times, blood ties have been a symbol of the strongest alliance, and no other relationship can compare to blood ties.

Ai means that the two forces are completely combined into one.

The birth of a child means that Yoo Pyo and the Chae family have become inseparable.

“Should I like this?”

“What?”

“Ah, Ryan. I have something to think about for a moment.”

I fixed Zhuge Liang’s hair as he dipped his feet in the water. The hair that had turned white due to the shock in Western Zhou did not turn black over time.

“I heard that my aunt, Mrs. Chae, is having Yupyo’s child. The baby will be born in ten months. No. I recently found out that she is having a child, so I hope the baby will be born before the end of the year. hahahaha.”

“How do I have children?”

“…….”

Zhuge Liang’s eyes staring at me were pure.

The expressionless eyes were literally as innocent as a child, and were like white, well-joined paper.

The paper is so white that it’s difficult to even take a brush and ink on it.

‘Wake.’

I am an adult.

Zhuge Liang is a child.

Adults have a duty to answer children’s questions without losing their innocence.

“When a man and a woman share love, things come true.”

“I see. Is it love?”

“okay.”

Ten points out of ten.

I highly praised myself for answering in what seemed like appropriate words.

“What is love?”

“…….”

It’s love.

‘I don’t know that either.’

Question after question began to follow.

It’s a very troubling question, but I couldn’t help but answer it.

A teacher must always know everything.

You shouldn’t know something.

If you later go home and say, ‘Teacher Geum Taeyang didn’t know this!’, your parents may come and ask you how someone who doesn’t know this can teach.

When it comes to things like pregnancy or love, it would be nice to think with common sense and think, ‘I guess I’ve gotten over it since it’s something kids ask about,’ but there are not only people with common sense in the world.

Therefore, answering that you don’t know is not appropriate. I lightly ruffled Zhuge Liang’s hair.

“I think love has yet to come to Liang.”

“Why do you think that?”

“That’s right….”

“I wonder what love is? Isn’t that a question too difficult for you to understand?”

It was Sima Yi who saved me.

“A child who doesn’t even know what love is is asking about love. Even if I explain it to him, he won’t understand.”

Sima Yi lifted up her skirt and dipped up to her knees in the water, splashing around in the water and laughing at Zhuge Liang.

“Does a kid like you even know what love is?”

“I don’t think they would know anyway.”

“Oh my. I already know love. No, I am in love.”

“Love? Hmph.”

Zhuge Liang shot Sima Yi in the same manner as Zhuge Liang, and when Sima Yi retorted, Zhuge Liang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Did you just laugh at me… ?

“I don’t know what you think of love, but I don’t think it’s the universal meaning of love that ordinary people think of. Aren’t you just delusional?”

“what?”

“You are lost in your own imagination and think that someone loves you. Just because I say I love you doesn’t guarantee that the other person loves me, right? Because love isn’t something that only happens through interaction.”

“this….”

Sima Yi kicked the water at Zhuge Liang.

“Why are you causing trouble to Master without knowing?”

“I’ve never done that.”

“Do you want to get hit?”

“joy.”

Water droplets splashed in all directions, but Zhuge Liang did not move at all.

“Look at this. They use violence because they think they are at a disadvantage. This is the typical example of people who are not mature.”

“It’s because the little boy was saying such nonsense. I think I’m going to hit him hard.”

“You’re saying that you’re using the physical strength that the teacher told you to develop while farming to use it to commit violence? That’s just barbaric.”

“Hmph. I’m not even good at farming. So while you barely manage to choose one piece of land, I choose three pieces of land and sow seeds.”

“It must be great to be able to beat your younger brother, who is four years younger than you, with physical strength.”

“Master, can I hit him?”

“No way.”

Violence is not allowed.

“It’s a bit hard to force people to get along, but that doesn’t mean they should use violence or hurt others.”

“Of course. You shouldn’t brag about your power and use violence ignorantly even though you’re four years older. What you said is 100% correct, Master.”

“Master, he is mentally assaulting me. What should I do in a case like this? Can I really hit him?”

“Can not be done.”

First of all, no violence.

“Have an argument. Win or lose with it. This is it. Whoever wins the war of words wins.”

“We’re still having a war of words.”

“That’s not what it means. It’s a story about an old story, a debate about human morality, or the mindset we should have as humans living in the current era. I’m saying we should debate things like that.”

“But I do that every day.”

Sima Yi’s eloquence was so outstanding that he was the best among the disciples of the Shujing Academy.

“If he doesn’t know what to say, if I tell him, it only hurts my pride, and if I discuss morality, he keeps talking back, saying, ‘How can you be so evil?’”

“You don’t think they only have evil thoughts?”

“It’s not about evil, it’s about human nature.”

“I cannot accept that human nature is evil. The evil ones are the most vicious, but most people have good in their hearts.”

“Really? Then even a newborn child must have goodness. So, was it a good act for those good children to kill the ants in the field by pressing them down with their thumbs?”

“that….”

“Humans are evil beings. Their hearts are full of selfishness, thinking only of themselves.”

I don’t treat her as my assistant instructor for nothing, and Teacher Su-gyeong also expresses admiration for Sima Yi’s words.

“Does that mean that Master is also an evil person?”

“what?”

“Master is not evil. He is a kind, good man. Master lent his land to many Western Zhou refugees. It was an action that most people could not easily choose. It was like a great coercion. Oh, are you denying it? Master “What is this? How can an evil person do such a good thing?”

“No, this….”

The problem is that the person who rivals Sima Yi is none other than Zhuge Liang.

“You selfishly give your land to people and let them cultivate it? You want them to sit back and whine while receiving compensation for lending the land to them? How can you view people as being so selfish?”

“……Ah, yes. You won. That would be nice, that would be nice.”

Sima Yi sighed deeply.

‘This is talent.’

Zhuge Liang knows very well how to win an argument by leaving his opponent angry and speechless.

If it is said that Zhuge Liang came to the Shuqing Academy before Sima Yi and studied under me, or that Zhuge Liang is older than Sima Yi, then I think Zhuge Liang would have the upper hand in a war of words.

When it comes to using his head, Zhuge Liang is slightly better than Sima Yi.

It is an objective evaluation.

“…The problem just now was related to my honor, so let me ask you something else. This time, the person who solves my problem will be the winner of today.”

“…great.”

“I don’t know about anything else, but I can’t stand this.”

One might wonder what is so important about competing for victory or defeat on a daily basis, but Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang had already put their pride on the line in every match, like destined rivals.

The payoff for victory?

There is nothing special.

The loser comes out and does housework, and the winner just goes for a short walk.

They seem to be glaring at each other as they walk with me, their fighting spirit burning. This kind of enthusiasm might suggest an appropriate solution to my concerns.

“Yu Pyo’s wife, Madam Chae, has a child.”

“Oh, really? It’s too vague to congratulate me.”

“Yes. Ryan, do you remember the young man who visited here not long ago?”

“That slightly sickly-looking guy?”

“…First of all, he is a man younger than me. His name is Yugi. He is Yupyo’s legitimate son.”

abandonment.

He is a young man who has just passed his terms and conditions.

He is the heir apparent from Yoo Pyo’s first wife, and his support base is disappearing in real time.

“It must feel a little strange to have a half-brother 20 years younger than me.”

“It must be inconvenient in many ways to strengthen brotherly friendship.”

“That’s right. I don’t know how long Yupyo will live, but in the battle for succession, if we say that he will not pass it on to his legitimate son, it will cause trouble.”

It is convenient to pass on most things to the legitimate child or eldest son.

As in wills and wills, unless the eldest sibling suddenly dies one after another, it is right to pass on the family name or anything else to the eldest sibling.

“…It’s not very good for the Chae family.”

“The Chae family will try to make the unborn child Yupyo’s successor, right?”

“Of course. Mrs. Chae, if Yoo Pyo dies first and her son is born, she will step in and try to get it together, right?”

“Or erase the sickly eldest son.”

Sima Yi’s smile faded.

Zhuge Liang frowned at Sima Yi’s cruel methods.

“It’s cruel.”

“It’s efficient. Do you think that assassinations are nothing? Even Qin Shi Huang suffered from numerous threats of assassination. Even if it’s not my teacher, you never know what someone in the Cai family might do if they get in trouble, right?”

If you get it wrong, you never know what you might do.

There really is no other word that expresses the current state of affairs better than this.

“Yes. The Chae family will try to make the child who inherited the Chae clan’s blood the successor to Yu-Pyo. So who will Yu-Pyo intend to make as the successor? The eldest son who has followed him for a very long time? Or the second child from a new place?”

“Maybe we don’t know that yet.”

“Why, Ryan?”

“Because it’s not yet clear whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

“…….”

Zhuge Liang was thinking about primogeniture succession.

“Heh. That’s why he’s so old-fashioned.”

And Sima Yi… .

“Is there a law that says a daughter cannot inherit the family or position? What the teacher is asking is who will Yoo Pyo choose between the children of Mrs. Jeon and Mrs. Hyeon?”

“Ugh….”

I didn’t think differently about men and women.

Although she was a woman, she wanted to make a stronger claim that women would inherit the family.

“If it were me….”

“Uiya.”

From afar, Teacher Su-kyung came riding up on a horse.

She looked back and forth between me and Sima Yi with a serious expression.

“A guest has arrived.”

“…A guest?”

“Yes. In Hanae.”

Moment.

Sima Yi dropped the skirt he was holding on to.

“Your father has come to visit.”
