[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

95 – How to survive in difficult times (6)

After drinking tea with Kwak.

I met once more the woman whom I had been introduced to by Mr. Kwak last time.

“Hello, Sister Aman. You have become more beautiful than last time.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Jo Aman.

I met her at the Hedo Manor of the Guo family.

Kwak said he wanted to meet Jo Aman first, and I ended up meeting Jo Aman alone.

“You cut your hair.”

“Yes. I almost got caught in a fire once, but unfortunately my hair got burned a little. Now I’m growing it out.”

“Excuse me.”

“hehehe, it’s our first time seeing each other in almost a year.”

When was the last time you met Jo Ah-man?

It was a time when Cao Cao was wreaking havoc in Western Zhou, boasting of filial piety.

When I met him before, I think his hair was considerably longer than it is now.

…Somehow my hair looks more natural now.

Before, I had a very strange feeling in my head.

“You still look the same, but the length of your hair has changed, so I really think you’re a different person. hahahaha.”

Since it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen each other, it’s not a big mistake to be rude about the length of your hair.

“I heard from Bonghyo that you have made a great contribution.”

“hahahaha, thank you. I just pulled my brain out to protect my land.”

“But what I heard is that you lured the enemy directly from the battlefield?”

“…Well, it just happened to be like that.”

What is the reason for bringing up an uncomfortable topic from the beginning?

If you are an executive of Cao Cao’s army, you can make a sneaky suggestion since it is a job or appointment, but Jo Ah-man is just a person of Cao Cao’s army.

“This incident made me realize again that I am not a person who can go to battle.”

“Aren’t you finding it too difficult?”

“Have you ever been to the battlefield yourself?”

“…I often hear that Jojo has gone, not me. Come to think of it.”

ah. I have insight.

Since I’m clearly showing that I’m uncomfortable, I immediately try to change the subject.

“Has Mr. Geum ever actually met Jojo?”

“no?”

“……to?”

Moment.

Jo Ah-man was quite embarrassed.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t lie.

“I have never met Jojo.”

“Really?”

“Yes. How can a village man like me meet Jojo? Since he is not from Jinryu, I have never seen him from afar.”

“…Do you know what it looks like?”

“Hmm. First of all, she has about one strand of white hair, and they say she is quite a beauty.”

Jo Ah-man gently played with his bangs.

The hair she was fiddling with was particularly darker than the other hair.

Is it itchy?

“It is said that Jojo’s age is almost as old as this year. No matter how capable she is, wouldn’t she at least look like a middle-aged woman now?”

“……hehehe.”

“…Kuhhh, sorry.”

I’m crazy to embarrass Jo Jo in front of the Jo family.

“If you really see it, you’ll be shocked. It’s so pretty.”

“hahahaha, if I meet you in person, I’ll probably be so numb that I won’t be able to stand up properly.”

“We’ll find out later. hehehe.”

“excuse me.”

At that moment, a young man’s voice was heard outside.

Jo Ah-man hurriedly got up and went out the door, making the sound of a chair being pulled.

“Uh-”

“Come in, little brother.”

“……..”

The tall-looking young man entered the room following Jo Ah-man’s guidance.

The man who looked like a military officer looked at Jo Ah and me several times and then immediately nodded.

“Let me introduce myself. This is Jo Ang, the eldest son of Jo Maeng-deok.”

“…Hello, teacher.”

“……Nice to meet you.”

Joao.

He seemed like a very sturdy, healthy, and good man, not unlike the son of that man named Jojo.

Honestly, he was also handsome.

As much as me.

“There, that.”

“Oh my, why are you doing this? Ang. To my sister.”

“……Yes, sister.”

It seems like they exchanged glances and talked about something, but I don’t know what it was. Except that Joao took notice of JoAman’s signal and sighed.

“What is your relationship?”

“Joan and I are siblings. I was the older sister, and Ang was the younger brother. Jojo adopted Ang.”

“Both children?”

“Yes. If something were to happen to you, wouldn’t you need a successor?”

“Oh, that’s right. There is no direct heir.”

Jojo was not married.

JoJo has no children.

“…Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“What’s strange? It’s not strange for a cousin to be adopted.”

It’s a common thing in this day and age.

In the past, Hanshin lived without a son and adopted several men, and it was common for an unmarried woman to adopt children, to the extent that there are historical records of such a relationship with them.

‘Though I don’t think JoJo would do that to this man.’

The image of a true military officer, somewhat far from being a eunuch family, can be seen at a glance.

‘It has to look good.’

He is a young man with a high possibility of becoming a masterpiece.

If Cao Cao was the king of times, this young man is the king of times.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t control my curiosity. Please take a look.”

“No. …Actually, I was so rude because I wanted to see Teacher Geumtaeyang. Please forgive me.”

“Aren’t you here for something else?”

“It’s less important than greeting a precious guest. I’ll talk to you later, sister.”

“Okay, sure. Unless it’s urgent, would you like to sit down for a moment?”

“Excuse me.”

Jo Ang sat next to Jo Ah Man.

Looking closely, there were many similarities.

If we were to infer Jojo through Joang, Jojo is definitely a woman with a very sharp impression.

“Now that I think about it, didn’t you say that Mr. Geum was also your adopted son?”

“Yes, that’s right. I was adopted by the Hwang family in Jingzhou.”

“But Mr. Geum…?”

“The name Geummo is so widely known internationally, and my sleeping name is the sun, so I continue to use it. Even the elders of the Hwang family accepted it.”

“hahahaha, it seems like your adoptive father is a very considerate person.”

Where is Hwang Seung-eon and what is he doing?

“So, how old are you, Teacher Geum? On the outside, you look similar to your younger brother.”

“How old is your little brother this year?”

“The terms were finalized last year.”

“…I see. I’m looking at Irip soon.”

You’re younger than you think.

Perhaps because of his imposing, bearded appearance, Joao honestly looked much older than his older sister, Jo Aman.

I don’t know the details of Jo Ah-man’s age, but I think he’s similar to me or younger than me.

“that….”

Jo Ang noticed Jo Ah Man’s gaze and took the gun.

“If it’s okay with you, may I call you brother?”

“No, how could that be…!”

Cao Cao’s eldest son makes me his older brother?

What’s going on?

“Actually, I have heard your story from Teacher Kwak and Teacher Sunyu for a long time. Elder Wen Yak has also said several times that it is unfortunate that he could not recommend you.”

“It’s just a shame.”

“I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but I’d like to get to know you personally. Is that okay?”

“…….”

Ah, is this a connection?

Through the Guo family, he met Jo Aman, a relative of the Jo family, and through Jo Aman, he met Cao Cao’s adopted son, Jo Ang.

“hahahaha, if this continues, I wonder if I will meet Cao Cao through Confucius Cao! hahahahaha.”

“…are you hoping to meet me?”

“Huh? hahahaha, how can one take away the personal time of someone who is working for the country? Also, it is my position. If I were to meet Jojo in private, I would be criticized by many people.”

This is not an appropriate thing to say to Jojo’s relatives.

However, their eyes looked towards me and demanded an explanation.

“…There are many people in Jingzhou who came down from Xuzhou.”

They are smart people, so just tell them this and they will understand right away.

“If I were to say that I met Cao Cao privately, people around me would be dissatisfied. This may be presumptuous, but it is said that people in Jingzhou do not sleep with their heads toward the north.”

“…is that the number of people who left Xuzhou?”

“Yes. Human resentment is truly deeper than you think.”

Especially if it is closely related to the death of a family member.

“Well, those are the people who were harmed. I wasn’t the one harmed.”

“What would you have done if you had been harmed?”

“hmm….”

Have you been harmed by JoJo?

“It will depend on the degree. If my property was damaged, I would swear, if my property was taken away, I would swear twice, and if my family was taken away….”

“What if you went?”

“…Well, it’s my natural instinct to give back as much as I get. hahahaha, but you can’t possibly do that, right? I’m just a man working at a school in Jingju. …You probably won’t tell Jojo or anything like that. ?”

My heart trembles when I say this suddenly.

As I looked at Jo Ah-man’s curious eyes and said, ‘Keep trying,’ I ended up talking randomly without even realizing it.

“Jojo is not the type of person to do that. Rest assured, Mr. Geum.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Instead, if you have something to say to Jojo, please tell me now.”

“yes?”

“If I meet Jojo later and tell him that I met the Golden Sun of Jingju, he will definitely ask about it. Huh? If you think it’s not the case, I’ll explain it to you in detail.”

“hmm….”

Instead of speaking directly, you must speak through one person.

If so, you need to convey your true feelings so that there is no misunderstanding.

“A village rich like me.”

I am.

“As long as it doesn’t harm me, it doesn’t matter what happens in court, it’s okay.”

I conveyed my true feelings.

So In-bae’s mindset.

Geumtaeyang leaves, one o’clock later.

While Guo Jia went out to see off Geum Taeyang, Jo Aman drank tea and talked with Jo Ang alone.

“Ang.”

“Yes, that…”

“mother.”

“…Yes, mother.”

Only Joa, no, Jojo laughed quietly as he and Joang drank tea together.

“I thought that man was mocking me. I thought he knew everything but was acting like he didn’t know me.”

“…I thought so too. If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought up Seoju’s story in front of my mother.”

“therefore.”

Jojo sipped his tea and smiled bitterly.

“Thanks to you, I was able to clearly see what the people who left Xuzhou thought of me. It was a very useful time. Of all the things I talked to him about, that left the most impression on me. What do you think?”

“…He was truly a strange person.”

Joao shook his head.

“From what I hear, he is a talented person like no other in the world. How can he be so humble about himself?”

“That’s right. The capacity is really small compared to the ability. Everything else seems big.”

“mother?”

“hehehe, it’s about distribution. Even if he says it like that, he’s probably a man who does what he does. Isn’t the fact that he personally took action against Emperor Zhang the proof of that? Ang. Take care from now on.”

Jojo patted Joao on the shoulder.

“Even though he is not appointed, he does not mind forming a close relationship with Cao Cao’s successor and actively accepts it. Do you hate him?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but… do I have to keep calling my mother ‘sister’ in front of him?”

“Why? Should I have called you brother?”

“…….”

Joao closed his eyes.

“hehehe, take care of yourselves. And if you hear from me later, let me know.”

Jojo smiled mischievously.

“Who are you going to marry between Sunwook, Sunyu, and the Kwak family? And encourage me to get married behind my back. That way, I…huhuhu.”

Joao didn’t think anything of it.
