Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 7
EP.7 Guryonghoe (1)
Guryonghoe (1)
Sword belt (劍隊).
The sword belt is a group of warriors who can catch monsters that jump out of the demon gate.
It is a must-have for the four generations of the old file room, as well as the small and medium-sized tax collectors and literary factions.
The Swordsman was the most important working entity that could gain fame, support from merchants, and support from the people by closing the gates of the Magic Palace.
The Gu family also had a total of five swordsmen, from the Ilgeomdae to the Ohgeomdae, which were directly under the head of the household.
So, the Guryonghoe (俱龍會) is to comfort the hard work of the swordsman to close the demonic gate for the good people of Shanxi for this kind of salvation.
twice a year. It was a schedule to select new members of the Sword Corps in Kuga.
Gu family’s collaterals as well as small and large clans in the Shanxi region participated, so direct blood relatives of the Gu family were a must.
Therefore, even if I die, it is something I cannot remove.
“Wouldn’t it be taken away when I die?”
“Can’t you just die first before that…?”
“Pretending to be dead?”
“If you fall for it like that, won’t you be killed by the real family head?”
There is no answer,
damn it.
“This Guryonghoe is overseen by Elder Lee, and he told me that if he ran away again this time, he would really tear the young boy to pieces…” “It’s
rotten …. Someone said…”
Among Elder Dunn, Elder Lee was a particularly severe old man.
It was said that if the only son of the Gu Family was properly established, the Gu Family would become a prestigious family comparable to that of the four generations in the future.
‘It’s a responsibility that even my father didn’t have.’
In a way, he was a very grateful person, but he was a very uncomfortable person because he would show up whenever a nobleman, who was busy with his work as an elder, would come and give him forced education and yell at him.
“I did that, but when I saw that I lived like an asshole, I was also really amazing.”
“yes?”
“I’m just talking to myself, so when should we leave?”
“Since they said they do it at Cheonil Shopping Mall, it won’t be too far if you take a carriage.”
“You’re taking the lead with the mall? It seems Elder Lee used a lot of strength.”
Cheonil Market is the most famous shopping district in Shanxi. It was also a commercial house that collaborated with the Gu Family while the family head changed three times.
‘What happened to Cheonil Arcade in the future?’
Didn’t I just keep going to the first shopping mall in Shanxi? It seemed like there were no major problems.
I thought it wouldn’t make much sense. There were still a lot of things to take care of to take care of the shopping mall.
“Anyway, why aren’t you starting like this?”
Isn’t it a little too much that the gasoline is not ready when I’m done?
I thought I should say something about this, so I went to the place where the gasols were gathered.
“Someday when the preparations are over…”
The mouth that was about to say something was immediately shut.
In the center of the place where the gasols gathered and murmured, there was Wi Seol-ah.
It’s embarrassing.
It wasn’t Wiseol-ah who was just messing around with her face completely covered with poorly maintained hair.
It looked just like the girl who looked down at me before I died.
Since it is the same person in the first place, it has to be. It’s just that I couldn’t feel it because of Wi Seol-ah’s behavior and appearance.
Thanks to the trimmed bangs, the face that was covered is revealed.
Clear skin and crimson lips caught my eye.
Black eyes with a shallow blue light seem to shine alone among many people.
After tidying up my hair that I used to be doing haphazardly…
“Seol-ah is really pretty…!”
“How can a person be so pretty? When I grow up, all the men will cry.”
“In my heart, with my son… What, son of a bitch!”
The gasols who had been praising Wi Seol-ah saw me and quickly took their seats.
As I stood there, the woman who had been touching Wi Seol-ah’s hair came forward and said,
“I’m sorry… I have to go to the Guryonghoe, but I think I’ll have to decorate Seol-ah a bit…” I
was so pretty when I decorated it that I was mesmerized.
It was difficult to see that it was decorated, only the hair was tidied up.
Still, that’s about it.
This time, it was clear that they were wrong, so no matter what I said, they would know that there was nothing they could do about it.
Wi Seol-ah walked through the gap.
Wi Seol-ah walks lightly and faces me in front of me.
When I met her jewel-like eyes, my eyes seemed to turn around. Weiss will not know what I am thinking.
It’s different from the eyes that stood in the middle of the day in the previous life. It was completely different from the eyes that looked at me with all kinds of emotions.
“Bocchan’s unnies look at me and say I’m very pretty.”
As Wi Seol-ah spoke, her heart sank once on her slightly smiling face.
It was all the more so because it overlapped with a face that was completely different from now and probably will not be seen anymore.
I try to calm my pounding heart, but it doesn’t come easily.
“Is I pretty too, Bocchan?”
In the end, I couldn’t say anything when I saw Wi Seol-ah talking with a broad smile.
******************
It was a little late, but what happened behind me was swift.
While I was chatting with Mu-yeon, the carriage was ready, and since only a few attendants, including Wiseol-ah, were going, I was able to board quickly.
Just looking at Wiseol-ah, who boasted of himself to Geomzon before he left. Suddenly, the Geomjon petting Wi Seol-ah with sad eyes is a bit memorable.
Soon after, the carriage, accompanied by a few escorts, departed for Cheonil Shopping Mall.
“and! Interesting! Just move!”
As soon as she got on the carriage, Wi Seol-ah was excited about the moving background.
I mean, the trees are moving fast. Subsequently, another attendant corrected him, saying, ‘It’s not a tree, it’s because the wagon moves quickly.’
Wi Seol-ah, who was already being adored, seemed to change her appearance and be adored even more.
It was about two hours away by carriage to the Cheonil Market. In the meantime, I was thinking of getting some sleep.
After planning this and that, the rest of the time I practiced until dawn before going to bed, so I haven’t had enough sleep lately.
In the meantime, Wi Seol-ah, who was excited, was a little noisy, so I put the medicine in my hand and took advantage of the quiet moment to go to sleep.
******************
The carriage, running non-stop, soon arrived at Sanwol County, where Cheonil Shopping Mall is located.
As if it was the biggest festival in Shanxi, there were a lot of people gathered on the street.
This was a revitalization of the street and an opportunity for the surrounding merchants.
Of course, it was boring for me.
‘..I was going to finish it quickly and start training.’
It was to fix the insolvency caused by the lack of training that I continued to feel after returning.
The training that started suddenly hurt every corner of his body, but it was necessary for the future.
I might die if I don’t do it, but I have to.
When I passed the street and arrived at Cheonil Shopping Mall, people appeared in front of the shopping center to greet me.
A middle-aged man with some flesh was wearing a golden silk with the word Cheonil written on it.
He introduced himself as the rising owner of Cheonil Shopping Mall.
“My name is Chun Yi-sil, the Sangju of Cheonil Shopping Mall. It is an honor to meet and see the little stars of Kuga.”
“It’s called Gu Family’s Guyangcheon.”
Chun Yi-sil looked around behind me and looked at Wi Seol-ah, and her eyes widened for a moment, but it was only for a moment and she immediately fixed her gaze on me.
Perhaps because he was a merchant, he was skilled at managing facial expressions.
“Elder Lee has not arrived yet, but Sojeo Koo is unpacking and resting. Gu Gongja would also like to guide you to unpack your luggage first.”
“…Well, that would be better, please.”
Chun Yi-sil said that he would guide us directly.
It is said to be a place for guests within the shopping district, but I remembered that the Cheoni Daily Shopping Mall was large, but when I returned and felt it again, the scope was too wide.
‘In a way, wouldn’t it be wider than Kuga?’
Of course, due to the nature of the family head, it would not be expanded in part.
Gu Yeon-seo had already arrived.
Since they said they had arrived at the residence and unpacked their belongings, they would not come out until the Guryonghoe started.
Gu Yeon-seo obviously hates me. It seemed that something annoying would happen if we ran into each other.
I was relieved to think that thanks to that, I would not have to lose unnecessary strength.
‘I hope I’ll run into you with bad luck.’
…I don’t think he’s good at catching people.
On the way to the residence, he bumped into Gu Yeon-seo like a ghost as if he had forgotten that he had had bad luck all along.
“To think I had to see an unpleasant face as soon as I arrived.”
These were the words Gu Yeon-seo spit out as soon as he met me.
“Hello sister.”
“Don’t say hello because it’s annoying.”
Why do you say don’t even breathe?
As if she didn’t like my greeting, Gu Yeon-seo opens her mouth in annoyance.
“I don’t think I’m going to mess with it even at the Guryonghoe, but please bear with it, because there’s nothing more uglier than having blood relatives tarnish the family’s name.”
“Hide well and go quietly, so don’t worry.”
“Who said he was worried…”
Gu Yeon-seo spit out at me standing up, then looked at Wi Seol-ah in surprise for a moment, then frowned.
And then he looks at me with more hateful eyes than before.
“You said you couldn’t throw away your old habits, so you’re trying to do something stupid even after coming here?”
“…What kind of strange noise is that all of a sudden?”
“I thought I’d changed a little lately, but after all, people don’t change.”
He just spit out the words to himself and then he swiped past me.
Why are you suddenly screaming…?
Rather, only the cloth thread that guided me was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Chun Yi-sil said that he couldn’t stand the atmosphere.
“Yes, I heard that siblings fight often. I also had a fight with my sister when I was little….”
“….”
You don’t have to
comfort me.
It was clean enough to be of a size comparable to my private residence in Sega and always maintained.
I felt like I wanted to rest a bit more, but I hurriedly moved because it wasn’t long before the Guryonghoe started.
The venue built under the leadership of the Cheonil Shopping Center boasted a considerable size.
Originally, it was said that the merchants were wide open to judge the wealth of the merchant by looking at the size of the business.
‘Isn’t that too big for something like that?’
“wow…! It’s so wide. I’ve never seen anything so wide!”
This time, I agree with Wi Seol-ah’s words.
If anyone saw what was so wide, it seemed that it was hosted by the Moorim Maeng.
On the first day, there will be a festival to give out prizes for the swordsmen of the Gu family.
On the second day that many people have been waiting for, there will be a sparring to select the Gu family swordsman.
Fortunately, blood relatives do not participate in sparring.
All I had to do here was observe.
“I’m just a real observer, is there anything special?”
I hope so.
