Congressman, Live Again - Episode 163
Episode 163
“Okay, that’s it! Anyway. Let me cook something.”
“yes?”
“I heard your food is so delicious! This time, the Joowangbu will properly send donations, so I'll prepare at least one meal for me, Yoo Rang-hoo, and Baek-ah..”
Baek-ah is the royal grandson who came to the royal family as an adopted daughter..
It was a worry for many people that King Zhou had no child to carry on the lineage, but you can't tell how relieved everyone was that a child who continued the royal family's blood was born as a daughter..
‘Now that I think about it, I’ve never met you..’
It wasn't like we had a social party in this spacious Juwangbu..
I'm just doing treatment and living like a rat, so I don't know anything..
“What can I do for you??”
“As expected, my eyes light up when I hear about donations..”
Foundation after Baek Hwan. Dad, I'm working hard today too..
Dad, I'm going to make money..
“There are many uses, so earn it while you can..”
“Hehehe. Isn’t there a certain thing I like?.”
King Zhou said slyly.
“meat. Make it with meat.”
You want meat that is easy to digest..
‘However, Joowangbu Suksu also cooks Korean food, but will it be suitable for his taste buds?…….’
I'm a little worried about this.
‘good. Teacher, we can cook together too..’
Master Zhuge Lin is also skilled at it..
* * *
I worked hard to prepare food with my teacher and served it to His Majesty the King..
‘By the way, we also ate some..’
Jin Cheon-hee took a small portion of the sweet and sour sea bream that the teacher had made and put it in her mouth..
“Does it fit your mouth??”
“It's very delicious?”
“Since all bones and thorns have been removed, it is safe to eat as is. I made the batter crispy to suit your taste. Do you like it??”
“Yes, very much!”
The teacher felt better after hearing the disciple's words..
“Eat a lot. That way you can gain weight too.”
He was a teacher who was always concerned about his student who was drying up from overwork..
He used to lament that he obviously eats well, but he doesn't know where it all goes..
‘Where are you going? I'm overworked.’
King Zhou seemed to be in a good mood and shared a drink with Yu Langhu..
As expected of her, it is not a formal table setting, but rather an ordinary table setting, like what a martial artist would eat at a banquet, but full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea..
After wandering, I swallowed my glass little by little, as if I was happy..
After Jin Cheon-hee treated him, his complexion improved and he was always full of smiles..
Between those two people, Poongbaekah is just rolling her eyes..
They look like an ordinary family, but Baek-ah is the adopted daughter chosen by the emperor..
For some reason, King Zhou, who could not see his grandson, had an adopted daughter to succeed him..
‘I don't know if one of you is infertile or just doesn't want to have children.…….’
It would be tactless to listen to such a sensitive issue..
Since meeting King Zhou, Jin Tianxi has not said a word about this matter..
It's the same for Master.
If you get deeply involved in the royal family's problems, if you try to solve it well, you will be caught by the imperial court's royal court like Grandpa Mangtae, and if you can't solve it... … A situation like that happens when you see a fictional day in a TV historical drama..
Soon, the Pungbaekah in question sat down next to Jin Cheonhee..
“I heard it was Sobaekryong. He tried to say hello, but he never got the chance..”
Jin Cheon-hee showed a small courtesy..
“I hope you don't think too hard about it. My mother said that there's no one who cares too much about manners and isn't an idiot..”
The King is also raising his children in his own way. But I couldn't figure out if that was sincere or if he was just doing what he was taught, so I answered hesitantly..
“Ah, yes…….”
“I wish you could call me Princess Sobaek. It is a name given by His Majesty..”
Just like calling Cheonyurang “Yuranghu”.
Pungbaekah was also given the title of Princess Sobaek..
In the future, when he grows up, he will be called 'monarch' or 'king', but if he fails in his struggle for power, there is a possibility that he will be called a different title..
‘Still, since King Joo is the parent, it won’t happen like that..’
Even though she wasn't related by blood, there was no way she would have treated her daughter like that..
“yes. All right. Princess Sobaek.”
Princess Sobaek's cheeks turned red at Jin Cheon-hee's words..
Living as the daughter of King Zhou, I saw many men with outstanding beauty, but Jin Cheon-hee's beauty was quite special among them..
‘……handsome.’
The teacher next to him, Baek Rin Uiseon, was difficult to approach because his age was difficult to determine and he had a somewhat cool look, but his student So Baek-ryong was different..
Slightly folded eyelids and a soft cat-like mouth.
In addition, he seemed to have good social skills and talked to people easily. At the same time, it seemed considerate to quietly avoid talking about a topic that was uncomfortable..
And this dish was also half made by So Baekryong..
‘Hehehe…….’
Of course, since she is a princess, she can't reveal this kind of affection hastily..
‘I wish I could become friends with this handsome guy.’
I thought other princesses would be jealous if I said I was friends with the handsome martial arts master..
I continued the conversation even though I felt like I was a bit of a snob for thinking this way..
“I heard that martial people develop their special abilities through training..”
“It is a martial arts skill rather than a special ability. Natural abilities are revealed through blood, and martial arts are revealed through training..”
“Yep. I know that.”
I nodded repeatedly with a red face..
She said.
“It is said that Gwan and Moorim get along like oil and water, but no matter what, taxes must be collected. As a result, he studied diligently about the physiology of martial arts..”
‘Oh, they're already giving me administrative training..’
The King always said, ‘It’s annoying. it's bothering.' Although he talks like a habit, he always takes care of the basic management of the land he has been given..
‘It seems like you think of it as a successor..’
If the Hwa Empire continues like this and enjoys an era of peace without war, there is a high probability that a 'Sobaek monarch' will be born..
‘Originally, I thought there would be some trouble ahead... … I don't know how much they removed..’
He prevented the collapse of the Cloud Dragon Bureau and cured Yuranghu, who was the cause of King Zhou's retirement..
And although it is not mentioned in the novel, even His Majesty II was saved..
Although the flow of history is strong, Jin Cheon-hee expected that it would have been twisted quite a bit..
“Uigak is tax-exempt..”
When Princess Sobaek asked with shining eyes, Jin Cheonhee said with a sour face..
“In any case, it is only related to income. Basic taxes are still paid.”
‘Hi go. I'm sure they won't change the law later and ask me to pay taxes.?’
Sweat is running down my back as I watch the next Juwangbu dream tree..
“I know that. According to reports, Baeklin Uigak's management profits are not as large as expected. Is this really true??”
……this is… Master must be preparing the account books..
If Master heard it, he would say, ‘Hahaha, Heeya. He must have said, 'This is not tax evasion, but tax saving.'.
she continued.
“In particular, the soap business is in deficit.…….”
‘ah. You calculated it by adding all that together..’
Luckily it wasn't tax evasion.
The reason the soap business failed was Chamtrue. And Jin Cheon-hee did not give up and was still pouring in money..
People of this era are already maintaining cleanliness in this era's way..
Even Princess Sobaek right in front of me smells good and is clean..
However, surfactant is a special drug that kills bacteria and viruses. In a world where microscopes had not been invented, it was natural that there would be resistance to bringing such a concept to the table..
“But why are you investing so much again??”
“Because it's better for your body.”
“Destroys toxins easily?”
Jin Cheon-hee introduced the concept of toxin instead of the concept of bacteria..
“yes. Soap bubbles destroy toxins.”
“Umm. That alone doesn't make much of a difference..”
She was lost in thought and gave advice to Jin Cheonhee..
“If it were me, I would try adding fragrance oil to the soap..”
“It's a balm?”
“I know that So Baek-ryong is smart and has excellent medical skills. However, sometimes it is good to think about other aspects besides medicine. Because there are times when a sense of duty clouds a person’s eyes..”
“I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you are talking about..”
“It's a person's heart.”
“yes?”
“Not only the royal family and members of the wealthy family, but also commoners carry sachets in their sleeves when attending important events. No one wants to smell bad. No one knows that if a person smells good, they will like that person. therefore…….”
“The idea is to add fragrance to soap and sell it instead of sachets.?”
“It may be less than a sachet, but if you can remove bad scents with soap and use it like a sachet, it will be worth the money. The idea is to take advantage of that and sell it..”
“…….”
Jin Cheon-hee looked like she had been hit..
Princess Sobaek continued..
“Soap saves people and removes toxins. Of course, it's a good reason. But most people won't be impressed enough to pay money to buy it. So add some perfume. Because no one likes scent.”
Suddenly, Jin Cheon-hee also remembered the memory of using soap in modern times..
Even back then, soap had a scent..
It has a unique soapy scent, but scents such as rose or lavender are also added..
I felt better when I washed my hands with it..
‘Come to think of it, yes. When I was young, there was strawberry flavored toothpaste..’
Even if strawberry flavor was added to toothpaste, the cleaning power would not increase..
Nevertheless, the scent was added to get children used to brushing their teeth..
“That's a good idea. Princess Sobaek!”
“Hehehe. Does this body look a little different??”
“It looks different!”
Princess Sobaek's cheeks turned red again at Jin Cheon-hee's words..
“You're so handsome it's harmful..”
After saying that, he sat a little away from Jin Cheonhee..
“……?”
However, we are not completely distant, but at a level where we can have a conversation..
In this way, one of Jin Cheon-hee's difficult problems was easily solved..
* * *
After the banquet, it was time to go back..
Eunwangya is now healed and it is time to be discharged..
It's like going out with Jin Cheon-hee and his group..
“He said he decided to come to Juwangbu periodically.?”
“yes. I decided to visit once in a while..”
“Well, I guess I can come then too..”
Bees must be washed twice a year. It will be a painful time, comparable to torture..
He chose to spend that time at Zhouwangbu rather than at the imperial palace..
It was clear who he trusted the most..
King Zhou looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression..
“It's annoying just to listen to it.”
After saying that, he sighed..
“I understand this as permission. sister.”
“Is this my job?.”
Looks like the grunting form will help in the end..
‘No matter how I look at it, it seems like you've forgotten all the resentment you had when your mother died... … Eunwangya doesn’t know that..’
Has guilt blinded me?.
Even Geumwangya, who can read the mind, does not work on King Zhou, so the day may never come when these brothers know the true heart of King Zhou..
But that's also their life.
The doctor just healed the patient..
