[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

42 – Second Disciple (4)

Before leaving for Sugyeong Academy.

Zhuge Xuan decided to stay in Yangyang, Jingzhou.

Still, it was helpful that one of his family members had worked in government and had become acquainted with Yu Pyo, so Jegal decided to get help from a fairly prestigious family in Yangyang.

Hwangga.

There is a person named ‘Hwang Seung-eon’ as the head of the family, but the head of the house has been away for a long time, and in fact, Lady Chae and Chae-hyeon are managing the Hwang family as well.

However, Hwang Seung-eon is not always away.

When Zhuge Xuan came to Yangyang, miraculously, Hwang Seung-en was staying at the royal family in Yangyang.

“Nice to meet you! “My name is Hwang Seung-eon.”

“Thank you very much for your hospitality. And thank you for coming to say hello in person. “Matriarch.”

“It was nothing. My job is to go out and explore the world every day. LOL. “It’s okay because gold is what you get from all over the world, and what you have in abundance is assets.”

Hwang Seung-eon pointed to the gold nuggets piled up in the yard. The people of the Hwang family were moving the luggage, clapping their tongues at the numerous gold items brought by Hwang Seung-eon.

“I didn’t mean to brag. Coincidentally, it just happened because the time was right.”

“I know. “I have heard and know the story of Hwang Seung-eon.”

“Do you know about me?”

“Well, he’s famous as a ‘solver’ in Yangyang….”

“hehehehe! yes. “I am somewhat famous in Yangyang for helping people who are in trouble.”

Hwang Seung-eon burst into laughter.

“So there is no need for you to feel burdened at all. “I had a brief relationship with Mr. Zhuge Gyu a long time ago.”

“Brother…are you saying?”

“exactly. Even though it happened when I was young, I owed him a great deal of gratitude. hehehe, I remember that day. …Oops, look at my mind. “So, these kids are Teacher Zhuge’s children?”

Hwang Seung-eon waved his hand at the two children standing behind Jegal-hyeon.

“Nice to meet you. But as far as I know, um, the eldest son…”

“There is a child named ‘Geun.’ The child headed to Dongo, Yangju. “There was someone who offered to teach Geun well.”

“Hmm… Did you leave with your intention, or did you leave in advance because you were afraid of being a burden?”

“…….”

Zhuge Hyeon was silent.

Zhuge Gyu’s eldest son, Zhuge Geun, left for a place other than Jingzhou.

Although they did not break off their relationship, it was clear that Zhuge Geun wanted to break up with his younger siblings and follow his own path.

“It’s okay. At a young age, I may become successful and later try to bring myself to the place where I achieved success. Isn’t it possible that you don’t know? If that child succeeds, he or she may ask his relatives in Jingju to come here.”

“…Yes. I just hope Geun-i becomes a big person. Of course, Ryan and Gyun.”

“Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Gyun. Indeed, they seem like children with excellent intelligence. Especially Liang, um….”

Hwang Seung-eon looked at Zhuge Liang for a while.

Zhuge Liang, who was staring blankly at the floor, was somewhat startled by the attitude of Hwang Seung-eon, who was approaching him and watching him closely, and took a step back.

“hahahaha, you don’t have to be scared. Uncle is not a bad person. “Rather, I want to help you.”

“…how?”

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth.

The trembling voice was like a snowflake ready to crumble at any moment.

“We just ran away from our hometown.”

“Ryan.”

“That’s right. “We have nothing, all we have is…”

“It’s okay because I have it. Even though I look like this, I am a person with quite a lot of assets. Mrs. Chae! “Let’s talk for a moment.”

Hwang Seung-eon called Chae-hyeon, who was sitting far away.

The fact that he called his wife ‘Mrs. Chae’ gave a glimpse into their relationship.

“Can you give them a manor?”

“……Which manor?”

Chaehyeon blatantly frowned at Hwang Seung-eon, but since it was in front of Jegal-hyeon, she immediately changed her expression and asked again.

“Where are you talking about?”

“Well, isn’t there a manor in Jungjung?”

“There…”

“You can buy a new manor with the gold I brought you this time. Ah, I have a life-changing love for Teacher Zhuge-gyu, so how can I pretend not to know his children?”

“…ha. all right.”

Chaehyun shook her head as she looked at the gold nugget Hwang Seungeon brought.

Of course, the manor in Yungjung was much less valuable than the gold that Hwang Seung-eon brought, but still, giving up a house was something that made Chae-hyeon nervous in many ways.

“Ryan, Gyun. From now on, you will have to think of Hwang Seung-eon as your godfather. Do you understand?”

“I follow what my uncle says.”

“hehehe, godfather. Follow Mrs. Chae more like your mother than me. I only have one adopted son. I haven’t even seen your face yet! ha ha ha!”

“…yes?”

Zhuge Hyeon felt dizzy for a moment due to the incomprehensible words. Chaehyeon’s expression hardened at the mention of adopted children, and Hwang Seungeon chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

“For various reasons, Mrs. Chae adopted the child. Perhaps when I die, that child will inherit the royal family. Do you know of a Sugyeong Academy?”

“Oh, I know. Anyway, before coming to Yangyang, I came to see Teacher Su-kyung for a while.”

“My adopted son is working there. Um…yeah. “Mrs. Chae, what was his second name?”

“This is the golden sun.”

“Golden sun.”

Zhuge Liang, who remained still, spoke following Hwang Seung-eon’s words.

“Geum…wasn’t it?”

“Gold is just a pseudonym. I adopted him. “The sun is his father, and his real last name is ‘Hwang’.”

“First of all, he is my adopted son. hahahaha, the yellow sun and the golden sun are both the same. hehehehe. How about we go where he is and let him learn? “If it’s Mrs. Chae’s recommendation, he will accept it right away.”

“that….”

“At Su-gyeong Academy, there are many children of influential people close to the governor, Yu Gyeong-seung.”

“…….”

It may have been a snobbish story, but making friends with all kinds of people is never a bad thing.

Even if it is not necessary, Sugyeong Academy is not a place where you can easily enter even if you want to.

“Thank you so much. “How should I repay this favor?”

“Can you call it grace? “I have received something, so I am just trying to repay it.”

Hwang Seung-eon stood up.

“Then I will personally guide you to Yongjung. Madam Chae, please take good care of them while I am away.”

“Ha, I understand. “Aren’t you planning on going somewhere else after going to Yongjung?”

“……that.”

Hwang Seung-eon laughed and pointed outside.

“I have a mission to go on a pilgrimage to Oak.”

“Look!”

“Eek, chuckle, I’ll be back soon! “With a thousand gold!”

Hwang Seung-eon left. Chae-Hyeon was embarrassed and covered her face with a fan, and Je-Gal-Hyun could only stare blankly at Hwang Seung-Eon, who was quickly leaving the scene with his mouth open.

“Even though I am Jiabi, I am beyond embarrassed.”

“Oh, no. “How can a person receive grace…”

“…Take it easy. Well, that…”

Chaehyun placed her hands neatly together and bowed her waist.

“Jingju is safe. Thank you for your hard work coming to Hyeongju. Now, I hope that this will become my home that gives you rest. “The Cai family welcomes the Zhuge family.”

“…I just want to thank you.”

After greeting Chae-hyeon and taking the children out, Zhuge-hyeon walked towards Yongjung and asked quietly.

“Ryan.”

“…yes.”

“Do you want to go?”

“……If you allow me.”

“It’s not your place to ask for permission.”

Zhuge Hyeon was deeply relieved to see Zhuge Liang slowly regaining his vitality.

“If there is something you want to do, I will do my best to do it.”

A few days later.

Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Liang with him and left Yongzhong and headed to Shujing School.

* * *

Although Zhuge Xuan is said to have come from Western Zhou, he is a very prestigious figure.

His ability had already been proven, and Yu Pyo tried to appoint him to the position of governor of a place called ‘Yejang’, saying that he would use him moderately.

The reason why Zhuge County settled in Yangyang and Yongjung was partly due to the influence of the Chae family, but also because he wanted to settle in a place close to the government office in Yangyang and easy to commute to work.

Zhuge Hyeon expressed his intention to commission Liu Biao.

Having already heard the news through Madam Chae, I could understand how she felt about leaving the child named Zhuge Liang in charge.

‘It must have been difficult to raise a girl.’

It was said that Zhuge Liang had sisters who were slightly older than him.

Zhuge Hyeon said that he was looking everywhere to get them to marry into an influential family or famous family in Jingju.

In reality, the situation was not favorable for Zhuge Liang, who had not yet reached adulthood.

So, I had them learn here at the academy and actually took care of them.

It is said that Chae Hyeon and her adoptive father, Hwang Seung-eon, whom I have not yet met, have actively accepted Zhuge Liang, so I cannot justly dismiss Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, he is a child who has been greatly shocked by the Seoju incident.

Putting aside political reasons, morally we cannot throw this child away.

It is impossible to leave only worries and concerns to a child who looks like she will become a beauty in the future.

Moreover, his intellect is also excellent.

“It’s a hundred points. “I got everything right.”

“……thank you.”

Zhuge Liang answered all the questions I asked correctly. Sima Yi gave the same questions he had asked when he first came, and Zhuge Liang answered all the questions correctly.

‘If Sima Yido gives a hundred, he gets three or four wrong.’

This child’s intelligence is unusual.

I thought Sima Yi had the best literary talent, but I learned once again that there can be another heaven above heaven.

“I passed. “You are my disciple from today.”

“Thank you, Master.”

“…….”

Sima Yi next to me had an unusual expression.

She looked somewhat dissatisfied with having another student.

“Uiya, why are you doing this?”

“no. “Please take care of me, Junior Liang.”

“…Why am I a junior?”

Zhuge Liang questioned Sima Yi with a calm look.

“I have become my teacher’s disciple, but I have no intention of forming a senior/junior relationship with you.”

“…hehehe.”

Sima Yi’s eyes were curved like half moons.

“why?”

“you are….”

Zhuge Liang continued speaking calmly.

“I just don’t like it.”

“…….”

Is it because of Seo Joo?

Or is it just nature?

Zhuge Liang was a child who spewed harsh words to his face.
