[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

Chapter 65

65 – Because there are too many thieves in the world (2)

The cold winter has arrived.

Sugyeong Academy once again began preparations for winter, and all students left for their hometowns.

reason?

“You should save it in the winter.”

After many years of experience, we realized that it was better not to open the academy in the winter.

If the place where students are taught is cold, it will need to be heated, and a huge amount of money is spent on heating.

So I finished calculating the profit and loss with Sima Hui.

It was decided to close the school when the harvest season ends, when the sun goes down, and when animals hibernate.

This is because the money is more than the money earned by opening the academy, and since I started teaching in the spring and have been teaching continuously until now, I need a break.

We never kick out those who come to our school because we don’t want to spend money on heating.

however….

“Liang, you’re not going.”

“yes.”

Zhuge Liang decided to spend the winter at the Sugyeong Academy.

“why?”

“When I go home, the old man is not there. He has gone to Dongo now.”

“Dong-oh?”

“Yes. My brother said he settled in Dong-o.”

Zhuge Liang has an older brother named Zhuge Geun. There is quite a difference in age, but it is said that he did not come to Jingju after the Western Zhou incident and instead headed towards Dongo.

Perhaps he is going to see Zhuge Geun during this winter.

“What about your brother?”

“Your uncle took your younger brother with you.”

“So he left you here for a while.”

Should I call it wise or embarrassing?

It’s not really a bad thing, but having one more mouth in the winter –

“Didn’t you hear from Teacher Su-kyung? I heard that your uncle made a large donation to cover my lodging expenses…”

“I’ll talk to Teacher Soo-kyung for a moment and then come back.”

After a while.

“Yes. Elder Zhuge Hyeon entrusted you here, so I will take care of you with all my heart.”

“What happened?”

“I caught it before I left on my winter trip.”

“……embezzlement?”

“Uh huh, extortion.”

It’s close to embezzlement.

“ha.”

Teacher Su-kyung’s position in this academy is gradually decreasing.

It means that I am very comfortable with my existence, but I also think that I can replace my position at any time, but I wish I could still protect what I have to protect.

‘It’s not that I don’t want to go out and have fun.’

The land also needs rest.

According to the rumor, if you farm for three years and rest for a year, your intelligence will recover and the next three years will be good harvests. I might be the same.

‘It won’t work, probably.’

There is so much work ahead of me that I have to do it every day with the feeling of grinding my bones.

Even the work at the school cannot be done without being faithful, and land management is no ordinary task.

“I want to go on a trip too.”

“If you are going on a trip, where would you like to go?”

“Well, at least I don’t like mountains.”

I hate mountains.

“Why the mountain?”

“The day will come when you too will learn about the horrors of mountains. Mountains are places that make people difficult in many ways. First of all-”

“Isn’t it because once you climb the mountain there is no place to run to?”

Hot.

“Liang, there is nothing you can’t say to your teacher!”

“But that’s the right answer.”

“That’s right! A mountain is a place where it’s the end if it’s surrounded. I’m not being chased by anyone, but if I were chased, I would never choose the mountain.”

“Then where are you going to run away?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be better to jump off the cliff where the Yangtze River flows?”

“If I fall into the water, won’t I die?”

“hehehe, you know I can swim again.”

Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened.

“Swimming?”

“Yes. Anyone who wants to survive must know how to splash in the water. What would happen if you were walking on a frozen river in winter and the ice suddenly broke and you fell into the water?”

“Unless someone throws a rope or something, you’re going to drown.”

“Yes. Humans must be able to survive the threat of death at any time. That’s why I hate mountains. I’m worried that I’ll be attacked, that I’ll slip and fall off a cliff. In contrast, in water, there’s a lump of stone wrapped around my ankle. “Unless you do, there is a chance you can swim and survive.”

“but.”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the waters of the Yangtze River on a map hanging on the wall.

“What should I do if a enemy appears? No matter how much I learned to swim, if a enemy appears, I will be caught.”

“Bandits come out even in the mountains.”

“Well, I guess this argument runs on a parallel path. I kind of figured out why Master hates mountains.”

“Do you like mountains?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I neither like it nor dislike it. I’ve never really thought about nature. What I think about is….”

Zhuge Liang swallowed his words.

Sima Yi may have blurted out words, but I could tell what he was thinking by looking at his expression, but that was completely impossible for Zhuge Liang.

What are you thinking now?

Sima Yi said this about Zhuge Liang.

-If that child just stares at the teacher, he or she is having strange imaginations about the teacher.

Sima Yi’s gossip was so ugly that I hit her on the head with a fan.

-Oh, it’s true. Master has no idea what’s in them!

-If you know a woman’s heart, is that a wise man?

-Then do you know how I feel?

-You know very well. You’ve been with me for several years.

-…….

Sima Yi said that a black fog was spreading inside Zhuge Liang’s stomach.

Even though I don’t think of myself that way, I have a rough idea of what Zhuge Liang thinks of me.

Now, I have a sense of what he is thinking.

“Are you feeling sorry for me now?”

“……yes?”

Right on target.

I chose the most likely one out of the five and got it right.

“Are you sad that I just work at the school every day, that Teacher Soo-kyung seems to have passed the work on to me and disappeared, and that I am doing all the hard work alone? I left for my hometown to take a break from the students, and I was talking about how I like the mountains and the river here. “Are you sad about working at the academy?”

“…Honestly, yes.”

at las.

Zhuge Liang began to reveal his true intentions.

“I didn’t know it when I first came here, but the more I studied here, the more I thought it was a solar school.”

“Yeah. I think so too.”

Although it is a Su-kyung academy, the importance of what Su-kyung teachers do gradually decreases.

“Except for giving lectures for about an hour in the morning, Teacher Su-kyung spends most of his time meeting people. While the students at the institute are eating and drinking with the tuition paid, Master is making lecture materials for you and Teacher Su-kyung. Even in the kitchen- “

“Stop. Don’t talk nonsense about the kitchen.”

Although my workload has decreased considerably since Seo came in, it is still a drawback to have a man in the kitchen.

Does that reach the ears of adults who send their children to school?

-Where did they say they learned from the guy who uses meat in the kitchen! Burn the books, now!

The school is turned upside down.

“I work in the kitchen because what I make is the most delicious.”

“You’d rather use someone.”

“Isn’t it because Seo Seo used people? It’s a shame. If Seo Seo’s mother had said she would come down here, she could have received a lot of help.”

I previously tried to take Seo Seo’s mother to Jyeongju.

That was the hope, but it ended in failure.

‘You said you couldn’t go down and dispose of the land where your husband was buried carelessly.’

A land with a story.

You can’t just leave without permission.

“Don’t talk about kitchen matters to outsiders. Do you understand?”

“I understand. …But Master, of course, you are in charge of not only that, but also the use of people at the Sugyeong Academy. How can this be called a Sugyeong Academy?”

“You might think so. But Ryan, Mr. Soo-kyung is already doing his job.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Just putting our name on the water park school is doing a good job!”

Sima Hui’s role has been like that from the beginning.

“Teacher Su-kyung’s reputation, connections, and, in vulgar terms, are called name values. Just by not tarnishing her own name, Teacher Su-kyung plays the most important role in our academy more than anyone else. Your uncle also runs the academy run by Teacher Su-kyung. Didn’t he trust you and leave it to you?”

“that….”

Once again, Zhuge Liang was lost in thought.

Zhuge Liang’s expression as he stared at me seemed to be laughing at me, saying, ‘That’s not true at all.’

Although I can’t read it at all.

“Probably so. hahahaha, I hope to live a life like Mr. Soo-kyung someday.”

“A life where you build a reputation, open an academy, and then hire a capable person under you and entrust all the practical work to him or her?”

“You’re being too explicit!”

Actually, I’m hoping for that.

To me, Teacher Su-kyung perfectly shows me the blueprint for how I should spend my golden years.

“Then…Master, do you wish to run the academy in the future?”

“It could be a school, or something like a training center where you just put up business cards. I would like to live a life where I can make money by just having fun and doing nothing.”

“Then I will help Master.”

“you?”

Zhuge Liang smiled softly.

“I don’t know who will suffer under Master, but wouldn’t it be good to help at least one person?”

“hahahaha, yes. Thank you at least for your heart.”

“…….”

I stroked Zhuge Liang’s head.

She seemed somewhat upset, but seemed to just drown her dissatisfaction inside.

“Sama Yi also said that, and you say that too. Sima Yi said that he would take over the Sugyeong Academy. hehehe.”

“……..”

Oh, I took a step back. Did I stroke it too long? My hair became a mess.

“Now that I think about it, I forgot to put my books away. I’ll just go.”
