In any culture, the ruling class forms their own small society.
What this small society does is extremely simple, or to put it in the style of the Qing hometown, it is like this.
Ladder kick.
This is because they are an alliance to enjoy the power they hold tightly in their hands for a thousand years and ten thousand years.
Yongbong Branch also cannot be free from that aspect.
Isn’t it the best networking training center where young people from wealthy families can form friendships and become friends with each other?
So, of course, not everyone can attend the Yongbong branch.
It is not for nothing that Daesae Seok takes in the disciples of the Old Daemun Sect and treats them with the utmost respect. It is not free, but the participation fee for the Yongbong Branch of each group is also included as a fairly large share.
And the day of holding a grand banquet like today was the day to repay that debt.
Even though the entire seven-story pavilion was rented, there was quite a crowd.
Of course, in the central banquet culture, people do not stand and talk, so this is to provide ample seating.
Since Jungwon is a standing-room culture area, people should not sit on the floor, but rather pull a chair and sit in front of the table.
“Wow, there are a lot of people.”
“joy. These people are just wandering around. “After all, there are only people on the first floor with nothing special to see.”
“It’s me. “Why don’t you speak nicely?”
Tang Nan-ah is not only a beautiful woman, but also the daughter of the Tang family, the ruler of Sichuan.
Of course, it was said to attract all attention as soon as one entered the pavilion.
“That’s it. “Sleep, Cheong, let’s go up.”
Dannan crossed his arms and pulled Cheong towards him.
Cheong pretended not to be able to resist him and climbed the stairs with a light, graceful gait.
As I went up to this floor, people appeared, awkwardly saying hello to Tang Nana.
Although no one decided, the young people on the second and third floors are young people from the Murim Bangpa faction, which is well-known in the local area.
And from the fourth floor onwards, the youth of famous Bangpas whose names were widely known took their place.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the real Yongbong branch begins here.
And after climbing another floor, I finally saw a familiar face.
“Oh, Geomwoo! “Isn’t it Geomwoo!”
“Prince Nangong. It’s been a while, right? Of course, I saw you yesterday, but we only said hello for a moment, so today should be the day to properly meet you and clear your mind.”
“hmm? “Isn’t it Geomwoo?”
“I have this womanly talent, so I bring it up sometimes because I feel like I might forget it if I don’t do it. Are you feeling awkward?”
“Really people. Since their faces are covered, I’d believe it if they said they were very different. I never thought I would know how to properly pretend to be a woman. Um, is that right? “Geomwoo is a great man who would send someone else to imitate him.”
“Confucius Nangong, do you know that if you use your tongue, everything will become clear? “Even dogs have tongues, right?”
“I believe it. “You are Geomwoo.”
Cheong trembled his shoulders and held out his sword.
Namgung Shinjae did not hide his pleasant smile as he clinked his sword sheaths together.
“Yes, yes, is Changbin up there too?”
“ah. Changbin is on the fifth floor. “It looks like he climbed up to avoid the women.”
The fifth floor is usually used by the Blue Dragon Society, and the top floor is usually used by the Phoenix Society.
Of course, it is not strictly defined, so any member of Cheonmudae can participate as much as he wants, regardless of gender.
However, it was not a good look for there to be a woman when there were only men, and vice versa, so it was not easy to get involved, especially if you were not close friends or lovers.
Of course, it’s easy for Cheong.
As Cheong climbed the stairs with Tang Nan-ah, who looked somewhat displeased, only the head wearing a cotton yarn stuck out to look at the fifth floor.
Cheong raises his index finger and puts it in front of his mouth to the men who are looking at him, and everyone just pretends not to see him.
And a loud voice from the audience.
“Ha, that’s why you don’t have a woman. A woman, yes, a woman’s heart, is like a loach. If you try to gently grasp it, she is a sweet horse that has completely disappeared into ancient times. Very tight! “You have to hold it very tightly to get it in your grip, do you understand?”
“Oh, as expected, Changbin. “So, you’re saying I should push you harder?”
“then. They say that if a man pushes, a woman will somehow open the door to her heart. Just grab her wrist and let’s go! “Go somewhere quiet and beautiful, whether it’s a lakeside or a garden!”
Cheong put his index finger in front and gently headed towards Changbin.
Then everyone just smiled mischievously and pretended not to notice.
Changbin was drunk and talking without even noticing the woman approaching from behind him.
“Just hold on to his shoulders and talk like a man. Sojeo, please my child-”
“Oh my, aren’t you Changbin Dojang? “Oh my God, aren’t you a living legend, a Taoist monk who has mastered women’s hearts and makes women fall in love with just his eyes?”
“hmm.”
“now. Don’t do this. “Since we’ve met like this, I’d like the girl to pour me a drink.”
“Yes, thank you… … ”
“ruler. Drink it all the way. Wow, you’re so generous. Hey, Nanaya, what are you doing? Isn’t the cup empty and on the right side of Changbin Dojang, the male middle-aged man, the volcanic pleasant man and the female heart slayer? “I’ll fill you both.”
“uh? I?”
“hurry.”
“Uh, yeah… … .”
Dannanah sat down on Changbin’s right and poured a drink in a clumsy manner.
How much alcohol would Tang Nan-ah of the world have poured?
Jwacheong Woonan, poor Taoist Changbin, whose palms were pierced by flowers on both hands, looked straight ahead like a person caught in both sides.
“So, what was the last part of that statement? Would you be able to tell the girl that magical confession that will melt her heart? Please my child. “I wonder what happens next.”
“that is… … , child, child, no, I mean… … “Mother, mother.”
“mother? Sucrose? Jadang wants to take a look? “Those are scary words that will definitely melt a woman’s heart.”
“That’s not it… … ”
“But Master, don’t you know the girl? iced coffee. Feel sorry too. After all, to Changbin Dojang, the killer of women’s hearts, she was once just a woman who passed by.”
When Cheong let out a sullen voice, Changbin began to sweat profusely.
The sound of laughter spread throughout the audience.
“Well, Sojeo, I’m sorry… … . memory… … ”
“How could you so cruelly forget, after always asking to see the plum blossoms in the mountains together? “Are you really saying that you have forgotten the times we had together?”
“no… … Even if you say that… … Well, some respect… … ”
“It’s called the girl Seo Mun-cheong. Master Changbin, do you remember anything now?”
“What? Preface Soger? Ah, I thought the voice sounded somewhat familiar… … . How have you been?”
“How have you been? Oh, by the way, the Sojeo on the right is the Haeeodoghwa of Sacheondanga, Dannanah Sojeo. “Naya, this is Changbin Dojang, the best expert on women’s hearts in Joongwon.”
“This person? Women’s heart? Well, I’m a bitch.”
When Tang Nan-ah revealed her name, Cheong counted the beats in her head.
One, two, “Haefish poisonization!” “Sea fish poisoning!” “Sea fish poisoning!”
yes! Now I know how it works.
In fact, this seemingly meaningless repetition of the star name is imbued with the meaning of respect for the other person.
“Well, it’s Changbin… … ”
Changbin spoke in a voice that could only be heard if you were listening, and he lowered and opened his head stiffly like a wooden doll.
One of the Taoists across from us, who had been watching while suppressing laughter, finally burst out laughing and asked Cheong.
“No, Changbin. Are you saying there really was a woman? How could you not introduce yourself until now? Sojeo, it is said to be the reincarnation of a shaman. “Changbin is too embarrassed to speak, so if it’s not rude, may I ask you to introduce yourself?”
“iced coffee. It is called Seomuncheong, a foreign affairs officer of the Shinnyeomun. And my teacher is Seomun Surin Dogo. Um, yeah. How is it distributed?”
Then, the sound of chairs falling over and being dragged loudly rang out all at once.
“The shaman’s Hwanyuk meets the elder.”
“The tradition of Cheongseong meets the elders.”
“Jongnam’s duty is to see the elders.”
“Jongnam’s spirit is seeing you.”
“Community Myeonak sees the elders.”
… … …
… …
…
Apparently, Taoist disciples who were uncomfortable dealing with women were gathered on the fifth floor.
Cheong answered in a friendly voice.
“Well, there is a bit of a difference in distribution, but since the girl is just a young woman who reached her retirement age this year, there is no need to be too polite. “They said the etiquette is proportional, but I feel like it’s too much, to the point where I’m uncomfortable.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do I look that old? “You mean you’re an elderly person?”
“Yes, senior.”
Wow, you’re acting like a senior with this taste.
I was wondering why on earth people from special landing units were so anxious to show off.
“Preface Soger? “Was it your vacation this year?”
“Geomwoo? “A vacation?”
Namgung Shinjae intervened in surprise.
But since Cheong wasn’t happy, he just ignored him and kept teasing Changbin.
“I thought things were a little better, but you’re still confused about respect? Hey, take it easy, regardless of distribution, we are friends, right?”
“How can I feel comfortable in a situation like this?” … ”
“Oh my. Changbin, do you want to keep doing this?”
“hmm. Okay, no, I will.”
“okay. How have you been? From what you were talking about earlier, it seems like it’s still the same. So what was it? “A great confession that will melt a woman’s heart at once.”
“I ask you to be my child’s mother… … ”
“Uhm. Nanaya, what do you think of this confession? “What if you hear it?”
Cheong sought the appreciation of a real woman, Tang Nan-er.
Tang Nan-ah’s evaluation was scathing.
“I feel so stupid. “It seems like a man with a child is looking for a second wife.”
I thought it was pretty good, but based on the locals’ reactions, it seems like it wasn’t right.
“Changbin, you said that’s right?”
“Then give birth to my child…” … .”
Still, even though it was in a small voice, he started talking because we were traveling together.
It was such an amazing sight that even the Daoist family members, who were uncomfortable seeing it in front of their elders, looked at Changbin with wide eyes.
“hmm. The child is a bit ambiguous. “It’s still unclear whether she is his first wife or second wife.”
“You’re paying particular attention to that?”
“Well, anyway, if I get married, I will become your son-in-law. That’s not the case, if you go to your in-laws’ house, you will definitely not be able to do it unless you are a member of the headquarters.”
Then Namgung Shinjae intervened again.
“Dang Sojeo, if it’s an opportunity to hear a woman’s evaluation, I also have something in mind. How about this confession? I want to share a sword with you until I die. “Wow, it’s prestigious.”
Then Tang Nan-ah answered with a puzzled expression,
“No, isn’t it just a matter of life or death if we share swords until we die? “What enemy are you looking for?”
“Oh my, this is why I can’t communicate with people who aren’t swordsmen.”
“What is it? “Then why did you ask?”
“Right. It’s my fault. I’m sorry. I should have asked my female swordsman. “What does Geomwoo think? Oh, right, more than that, Geomwoo is on vacation this year?”
Was this kid the type that was secretly sensitive to age?
Cheong smiled and answered in a kind tone.
“Why not choose your words well? “If you’re going to at least say that you look older.”
“No, I’m not that kind of person. hmm. Well, what does age have to do with the test? How does Geomwoo hear this confession? “I will hold my sword until I die-”
“At first, I thought it was okay, but after hearing Nana’s words, I can now only think of it as a matter of life or death. “If we fight until one of us dies, it’s a matter of life or death, right?”
“Of course, after hearing it, I felt like I missed it. Then, um, yeah, I want to share the sword for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life. oh. This is also a prestigious name. Dan Soje, how about this time? “It is a confession of conversion.”
“It’s better than life or death. But do you really have to share the sword? Is the sword a sign of some kind? “Share the sword?”
Jeongpyo was once a popular thing to do, dividing a decoration into pieces and keeping them together.
It was used by lovers, and it was also used by men who secretly took in concubines to run two households as a gift to their illegitimate children.
Then Geomwoo went one step further.
“oh. That’s a good idea too. If we divide the sword and use it as a sign of the covenant… … “Well, that doesn’t work. If you split the sword, it ends up becoming half a sword.”
“Of course, half-black is an important matter. Besides, you can never win if you split the sword.”
Cheong nodded in sympathy.
It is said that the fifth floor is located and the sixth floor is a resting place.
The seventh floor is said to be a place where women who are tired of men’s bickering and members of the Phoenix Society gather.
Now that I’m here, I thought I’d take a quick look.
And to be honest, I was curious about what the sea lily was wearing.
When I saw it briefly yesterday, the outfit was so desirable that it was nice to look at.
Yesterday, I couldn’t look closely at Gongsun Yaoye because I had some business to attend to.
Hmm, I guess you’ll be wearing short-cut clothes today as well, right?
Cheong quickly climbed the stairs with a heart pounding in anticipation.
