Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 176
Episode 176. For the sake
of it.
As soon as you open the door, the scent of incense fills the room.
The magic of smell that awakens and shakes vague expectations.
Han Ibi felt that she was losing consciousness for a moment.
The courtesans who had been chattering and chatting up until then suddenly closed their mouths.
It was beautiful.
Of course, except for Jo Hwa-ran, whom I saw earlier, there were no characters that could be called extraordinary.
Isn’t youth another name for beauty?
Was it because of her performance in the recent ugly incident?
Despite Han Ibi’s decent and slender appearance, the young and pretty girls all looked extremely nervous.
At that time, a woman approached Han Ibi.
I think he was around mid-30s.
It was true that she looked much older than the other courtesans.
However, she was a woman whose maturity could be felt from her confident steps and posture.
Ahn Eun-ryeon (安恩聯), who plays the role of a courtesan at Yeohwaru.
She said to Han Ibi.
“Commissioner Han is here.”
The charm is overflowing from the way he speaks.
“Please come this way.”
But at the same time, I could feel the cold air flowing out.
That’s right…
Ahn Eun-ryeon was one of the few people who knew that Yeohwaru’s true identity was connected to Cheonseonggung.
He was not dispatched from Heaven’s Palace, but was simply a child who caught Lu Ju’s eye and rose to prominence in an instant.
To her, Han Ibi was nothing more and nothing less.
I didn’t like the idea of gathering courtesans together like this and having a face-to-face ceremony.
In her mind, this was a bizarre thing.
Wasn’t full authority over the courtesans always delegated to him?
Therefore, a cold wind could not help but blow at Ahn Eun-ryun’s attitude, which made it difficult to understand his intentions.
Ebi Han said.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
Of course, it didn’t feel like hospitality at all….
At that time, Han Ibi shouted to the outside.
“Now, would you like to bring the table I prepared?”
A sound was heard outside the door.
“yes. Commissioner.”
Then the door opened and the two youngest Jeomsoi were seen carrying food.
Then, a puzzlement appeared in the eyes of the courtesans, including Ahn Eun-ryeon.
Han Ibi said to Jeom Soi.
“uh? Baekju seems to be missing. “Brother, no, Luju said he would support me.”
At that time, the youngest Jeomsoi Jo Bangje smiled and took out a gourd from his arms.
“Here it is. Commissioner. “It’s so precious…”
Then Ahn Eun-ryeon said in surprise.
“This is… five red wine, right?”
Han Ibi said as she took the bottle of alcohol.
“What is that? “Is it good?”
“I like it. “This is a famous liquor from Zhejiang Province, so it is a rare liquor that is difficult to taste.”
After hearing that, Han Ibi laughed and said.
“Ah, our Luju used it well. “I put a lot of pressure on it.”
Eunryeon Ahn said.
“But why the alcohol….”
Han Yi-bi said as she placed Oh Hong-ju on the floor with a ‘thud’.
“Well, since our courtesans are always busy serving guests… This time, Lord Lu decided to treat several courtesans in a special way.”
Then the courtesans started whispering here and there.
Han Ibi turned her head and spoke to Jeomsoy.
“Now, quickly put the food on the table.”
“yes. Commissioner.”
The Jeomsoys began to busily move the food onto the table.
Then the curious courtesans turned their heads and looked at the food.
Horodu (葫蘆頭), a stew made with pork intestines, stomach, chicken, and seafood.
Ganmyeonpi (擀面皮), a noodle dish made by spreading the dough thinly with a bat.
Washbasin, lamb ‘Pomak (泡饃)’, etc.
These were foods from the Shaanxi region that are difficult to taste in Cheonghae.
So, the room was filled with a delicious smell, and the courtesans’ salivary glands were secreting saliva rapidly.
Ebi Han said.
“These are all things I cooked myself. Everyone, enjoy your meal.”
Then Ahn Eun-ryeon asked in surprise.
“yes? “You cooked your own food?”
Han Ibi smiled in remorse.
“of course. Now I am here as the mayor, but at one time, I was also the guest housekeeper. As a result, I learned to look over my shoulder and cook.”
The courtesans are once again buzzing with surprise.
Yes.
For the first time in a long time, Han Ibi was able to show off her skills to the fullest.
This was possible because Soju Yeom generously provided the ingredients.
He used the wonderful traditional recipes of Cheongyugaekjan Lady Jo Jin-sook and presented excellent dishes with his own flavor.
“Hurp.”
There was also a courtesan who could not stand it any longer and sat down to eat the soup from the horodu.
“and! This is really…”
She couldn’t continue.
Then the other courtesan quickly sat down and began eating the bread in the bag.
“Ahh… it’s so delicious I think I’m going to cry.”
Starting with this, courtesans flocked to the place and began to inhale the food.
Han Ibi, who was smiling happily while looking at that scene, said.
“Everyone, there is enough food. We still have a lot of ingredients left, so we can make more if you need it. And….”
Han Yi-bi took Oh Hong-ju’s bottle cap.
A fragrant, soft yet somewhat strong energy like a flower filled the room.
“…I will raise a glass of wine today. You were always busy greeting customers. Now, first, courtesan Sue.”
Han Yi-bi poured Ahn Eun-ryeon a glass of Oh Hong-ju.
And then the turn came… Hwa-ran,
who played the pipa on the first day, was the last.
Han Ibi said quietly as she poured the drink.
“Joe Sozer. “The pipa performance that day was truly beautiful.”
Then Hwa-ran blushed and said.
“Oh, thank you. I just learned a few tricks from my sisters…”
“Wow! “If the few moves I’ve learned are that much, other people’s performances will be beyond my imagination.”
Jo Hwa-ran said with a bright smile.
“Shall we play a song now?”
Han Ibi quickly shook her head and said.
“you’re welcome. “Today is a day for us courtesans, so it would be out of place to perform.”
Then Han Ibi stood up and offered me a drink and said.
“Well, we won’t be having any guests this evening.”
The courtesans in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.
Han Ibi continued speaking.
“Lord Su Lu gave permission. “Today is a day just for you, so you can eat and drink as much as you want.”
A moment of silence.
But soon…
“Wow!”
“Really?”
“It’s the best!”
The cheers of the courtesans rang out.
Ebi Han said.
“everyone. You are the main characters of Yeohwaru. “Yeohwaru’s entire value is achieved through your service.”
Ahn Eun-ryeon asked while tilting her head.
“What do you mean?”
“There is something like that. And the main characters always deserve the treatment they deserve. Now…”
Han Yi-bi continued as she lifted Oh Hong-ju up high.
“Just the first drink. Just follow me for the first drink. Please shout out every last word. For the health and happiness of our Yeohwaru courtesans!”
Han Ibi filled her mouth with white liquor and then turned the glass over and poured it over her head.
“for!”
This is truly Korean style leadership.
The courtesans giggled as if they were amused by the sight, and then followed Han Ibi, taking a swig of alcohol and pouring it over her head.
After that, the Pour and Drink feast was held in a very comfortable atmosphere.
Almost two examinations passed like that…
I ended up with a very full stomach.
Ebi Han said.
“great. I didn’t know that courtesans had so many inconveniences. The truth: dealing with customers, tight working hours, self-improvement, raising independent funds, illegal recruitment of prostitutes, etc. Of course, it will be difficult to change it in an instant, but I, Han Ibi, solemnly promise to you that I will discuss with Rouju and improve it step by step.”
“Wow!”
“Thank you. Commissioner Han!”
“You can’t even compare to Commissioner Jeong!”
“What kind of bastard are you comparing me to? “Let’s get downgraded.”
“Our handsome young commissioner. “Please come here quickly.”
“Hey you. Don’t be flirty. “That’s some kind of dirty talking habit.”
The sound of cackling overflowed in Yeohwaru.
They seemed to be in a really good mood.
How many times in your life have you had a party for yourself rather than a party for others?…
Han Ibi looked at them with joy in her heart.
* * *
Sojuyeom said.
“How on earth did you do it?”
Ebi Han said.
“Today’s sales are very average.”
Sojuyeom said while shaking his head.
“No, not sales. “How can everyone move so smoothly without any complaints?”
“It’s all thanks to Rouju.”
“Han brother. “Stop talking nonsense… What did you really do?”
Han Ibi said while shrugging her shoulders.
“Is there anything wrong? I just scratched each person’s itch. “The rest just moves on its own.”
So Juyeom smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
“As expected, one younger brother is our Yeohwaru’s blessing.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Yes.
Ibi Han knew it very well because she had worked in an organization.
How important it is to take control of the organization early when you first become a leader.
Han Ibi was working on this step by step.
At that time, So Ju-yeom’s expression hardened as if something occurred to him.
“Han brother.”
“yes. older brother.”
“Nowadays, as commerce along the Saju Road becomes more active, competition among local Giru is becoming more intense.”
“I know. “In particular, the movements of the Women’s Dan, which is suspected of being connected to Jeong Hoi-soo, and Hao Wen, another rival faction, were unusual.”
“Now that I think about it, what about the recovery?”
“It’s just like they locked me in the room. He rarely opened his mouth, perhaps because he was afraid of Cheonseonggung’s punishment. Anyway, please leave it to me for now.”
“Tsk tsk. “If you’re going to be so scared, why did you do that?”
At that time, Han Ibi suddenly asked as if she remembered something.
“What happened to the people who reported it to the authorities?”
So Juyeom shook his head and said.
“Wrong. They are not part of the Women’s Unit. Jeong Hoe-soo is just one of the local gangsters who hung out at the gambling den. “I thought I was going to get into trouble, but I ended up doing something pointless.”
“You may be a foolish Sisae Samgoe, but it won’t be easy to uncover Jeong Hoe-soo’s dealings with the Women’s Dan.”
“That’s right… Well, there’s nothing to be afraid of those guys, but…”
Han Ibi said with a smile.
“That’s right. Rather, what is scary is that the name of Cheonseonggung is on people’s lips.”
“That’s why I’m being extremely careful.”
This was because Cheonseonggung was a reclusive sect.
They were denying all activities related to the world.
So what Jeong Hoe-soo was trying to do… was nothing short of an enormous threat to Cheon Seong-gung.
Sojuyeom said.
“You are too smart to get away with it. “If the base knew, they wouldn’t like it that much.”
“It sounds like you don’t have such expectations from a mere chief of Giru.”
So Juyeom changed the topic without either confirming or denying it.
“But the Rouges of Giru in this area. We meet twice a year for a meeting. “The meeting is scheduled to be held at Yeonghwanru next week.”
Han Ibi said, raising her eyebrows.
“What is your personality?”
“Well… you could say it was a social gathering.”
“It must be a tense social gathering.”
Sojuyeom said with a chuckle.
“that’s right. “At least one guy gets into an accident every year.”
“Hmm…”
Han Ibi thought for a moment and said.
“yes. All right. Lord Rouge. “Can I say something?”
“However much.”
“Please allow Lord Lu to be unable to go this time due to illness.”
“Well… it’s a friendly gathering, but we check the situation at each base and agree on important decisions such as setting up areas to attract customers. “If you don’t go out, you’re bound to lose money.”
“Brother, please trust me first and do it.”
Then he added, squinting one eye.
“I will make sure you never lose money.”
