Episode 546: Incomplete

Finding Ryuga Banjeom No. 2 was harder than I thought.

This was because as spring came, more people were moving in from the north, causing real estate prices to rise.

In other words, it has become difficult to find an empty house.

Biyeon, Okryung, and General Bang searched diligently for an empty house in the city of Bokju, but there was no suitable empty house for us to use.

It had to be as close to our spot as possible, but also large enough to be used as a spot. There were a lot of small houses, but no buildings with large lots.

“The wedding is just around the corner and guests will be flocking in soon. This is a big problem.”

“How about just renting a different guest house for a month or so?”

That’s why I suggested that we just rent another spot or guest house for a month, but both General Bang and Biyeon told me not to even think about that.

“Let’s think about that when it’s really urgent, Cheongun-nim.”

“That’s right, Ryu Dae-in. Other spots and guesthouses aren’t as clean as ours.”

“That’s right. You know that too, Cheongun.”

“Oops···.”

Thinking about what the two said, the guest houses and spots of this era are like a pillow covered in human grime and a blanket with a dirty neck.

Most of the rooms there had a musty smell.

If you’re unlucky, it’s common to stay in a room full of bedbugs.

It would be a great loss of honor for me to have my wedding guests stay in a room like that.

‘Then, my face is precious.’

Now that the localization patch is complete, I value my reputation as much as my life.

How dare you let your guests stay in a room like that.

This nationalist (Jin) Liu Qingyun’s reputation could not tolerate that.

This is not the reputation of the author, a third-rate commoner, but that of the Song Dynasty’s Duke Liu Qingyun.

“Then what should we do?”

As I was pondering in the third-floor room with a serious expression, Biyeon leaned closer to me and whispered.

I couldn’t help but be startled when Biyeon slowly came closer to me.

Because the rain was too close.

It wasn’t that I was surprised by Biyeon’s closeness because I was a married man, but rather because of another closeness.

‘No, is it possible to be this close to a woman?’

Something about the fact that when I try to whisper to my wives, I can’t get this close, so Biyeon felt too close.

It was impossible to even whisper to Garyeon.

Anyway, I was surprised when I heard Biyeon’s voice in my ear.

“How about going to see Po and asking for help?”

Biyeon’s idea was to go and ask Brother Po, as he would definitely be of help.

The person who will even create an empty house for me is my brother.

My brother, who is a civil servant in the Central Plains, thinks a little differently from other people. To him, an empty house is something that happens when people are kicked out.

I nodded at Biyeon’s words.

“Is that the only way?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Then, as the saying goes, ‘get rid of the bull’s horns in one go.’ Let’s go see him right now.”

“Okay, then I’ll get ready. Okryung, get ready.”

“Yes, Biyeon.”

These days, Biyeon and Okryeong have become very close and are now like best friends, always hanging out together.

When I heard that I was going to the government office where my older brother was, the two of us took the lead and headed downstairs.

That’s when I arrived at the first floor.

The cashier at the checkout counter was already welcoming the first customer.

Not the first guest at our wedding, but the first guest at our first business.

“You’re early, Father and Mother.”

“Yes, how are you? Can we be late? It’s your only daughter’s wedding.”

The guests that Qingyi was meeting were Master Zhuge and Master Buhai.

Perhaps he came earlier than the wedding to prepare something for me.

The warriors who had followed the family entered the restaurant carrying something wrapped in cloth.

“Sir, which side should I put this on?”

“I will ask my son-in-law and let you know, so put it on the other side of the heresy.”

“Okay, everyone, you heard what I said? Everyone, move quickly!”

“Yes, General!”

And then I hear my mother-in-law’s voice.

“I regret not being able to see your wedding in person, but now I can see you again. Even if I die, I have no regrets now.”

The mother-in-law held Cheong-i’s hand with tears in her eyes.

He approached his mother-in-law with a mischievous smile and said:

“What if the person I have to show my grandchildren to says he has no regrets even if he dies?”

“Huh? Son-in-law!”

My mother-in-law approaches me with a happy face at the sound of my voice.

My mother-in-law held my hand tightly and said.

“How have you been?”

“Of course, mother-in-law. How have you been?”

My mother-in-law looked much better than before, and when she saw me, she was as happy as if she had met a new person.

Well, he is my son-in-law who saved my daughter, so he is truly a benefactor.

“I’ve been fine too. By the way, you’re my grandson now? No way?”

‘Oops.’

A situation where you greet someone with a happy heart but end up saying something you shouldn’t have said.

I quickly smiled and brushed it off.

“Well, ah, that’s what I’m saying it’ll be like that in the future.”

“Ah, I see. I wish I had a handsome son like my son-in-law.”

“How is our son-in-law?”

As I finished greeting my mother-in-law, the person who approached me was my father-in-law.

It was the moment when I turned my head with a smile at the craftsman’s greeting.

“Okay, master?”

“Why is this person so surprised?”

The craftsman was smiling brightly, but he looked very haggard.

The craftsman, who looked like he had been seriously ill for a long time or was seriously ill, had a very kind smile on his face.

A face that seems to have been liberated from everything.

Is it like he’s accepted his future?

I feel like it’s hereditary for the women of the Zhuge family to squeeze men.

It seemed as if I could see my future in the old man’s haggard appearance.

‘No, I thought you were definitely a Central Plains elf, but you’re not a succubus either…’

“Oh, no.”

Let’s quickly brush it off. The mother-in-law came out and linked arms with her father-in-law, smiling.

“How is it? We lost a thousand years. Don’t you think it looks much better?”

I feel like if I lose weight twice, I’ll probably be left with only bones.

Judging from the way the father-in-law’s eyes wavered when he heard that his mother-in-law had lost weight, it seemed that his mother-in-law had probably lost the weight herself.

Well, they were apart for 20 years, so it must have ‘piled up’.

‘That, that longing.’

***

First, I greeted my in-laws and went outside.

I explained carefully that I was going to meet my brother.

“I have a prior engagement, so I think I’ll have to go out for a bit···.”

“I was thinking of having a meal together? Is it urgent?”

“Oh, actually, I have some business to attend to, Mr. Podaeryun Bokju, my brother-in-law.”

“Oh, then I should go. Go quickly. I guess you’ll be waiting.”

That was when I was heading to the government office where my brother and I were.

A voice heard from the bridge where the fireworks of Biyeon are located.

“Huh? Wasn’t it Cheongun?”

When I turned my head, the people standing there were Grandfather Mandokshin and Father Dangga.

The people standing behind are the family members of the Tang family I saw once before.

I thought they would be the last to arrive since they were the ones who lived the furthest away, but it seems they arrived before I knew it.

“Father-in-law! Father-in-law!”

“Oh, so you’re doing well, Cheongun?”

“Who is this? Isn’t this our son-in-law? It seems like we just parted ways, and here we are again.”

“Yes, Grandfather. How have you been? Welcome, Father-in-law.”

The people in my family are always the ones who say I’m pretty.

As we shook hands and greeted each other, Grandfather Mandokshin asked.

“Then, we were fine. So, is Young-young inside?”

“Yes, Master Zhuge arrived from the Zhuge family a little while ago, so he must have come down to the first floor because of that.”

Although he wasn’t visible when he came out, Jegaljangin is Yeongyeong’s uncle.

It was clear that he had probably come down to say hello.

When he informed the Tang master that Zhuge Jang had arrived, he responded with a bright face.

“Oh, really? Cheon-i is already here? I should go quickly.”

“But you came so early?”

I thought the people who were the furthest away would arrive late, but they arrived earlier than expected.

When asked the reason, both of them spoke with apologetic expressions.

“Ahem. We have a conscience too.”

“Well, then. We are people too···.”

As I blinked at the words of conscience that suddenly came with an apologetic expression, my father-in-law and Mandokshin-gun’s grandfather placed a hand on each of my shoulders and spoke with serious expressions.

“I mean, forever.”

“Forever?”

“Yes, I feel bad about marrying off a child who knows nothing to you. I brought the women of the family with me to teach them some housework.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what to do···.”

Originally, it was common in this era to teach children how to do housework before getting married.

Even the elders of the family taught Young-young about the first night before marriage, and it seemed like they would teach Young-young a hard lesson for just one month.

I don’t know about anything else, but for the first night, since Young-young is a genius and has thoroughly studied in advance, there’s no need to study separately.

“Oh, is that so? I’m fine…”

But cooking is something I know how to do, and other things I can do by hiring someone else.

When I said that it was okay because Young-young was like a elixir to me even though she couldn’t do housework, the two of them shook their heads with stern expressions.

“Oh, even if you’re okay, we’re not okay.”

“Okay! By the way, where are you going?”

“Oh, I wanted to see my brother-in-law, Lord Bokjiju.”

“Oh, then I should go. Go quickly, Cheongwoon. Even though it’s not perfect, we’ll thoroughly educate you until the wedding, so Cheongwoon, don’t worry and go.”

“Yes, ah, I understand.”

It seems like Young-young will be receiving strict training before her wedding.

I prayed for Young-young’s soul to rest in peace and headed to the government office where my older brother was.

And as we headed to the government office, we realized we had miscalculated our guest bill.

I thought that since it was just a wedding, only about ten guests per family would come, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Come to think of it, each wife is an only daughter in their family.

Since her daughters were getting married, she brought a lot of servants and also brought a lot of things.

Right now, there are only two families, the Zhuge Family and the Tang Family, but it seemed that many people would come from the Beast Palace, the Namgung Family, the Murong Family, and the Hwangbo Family, who were about to arrive.

It seemed like we would need a fairly large house.

“I think we miscalculated our guests.”

“I definitely don’t think you can fathom the feelings of a parent who has a child.”

“That’s right, brother. With just two families, it seems like the spots will be full, so we need to find a house quickly.”

That’s why I hurried to the government office.

But the strange thing was that the government office was very deserted.

Usually at this time, there would be someone being bitten by my brother, or people outside the building crying out for help, but it was strangely quiet.

“What? Is your brother inside?”

When I arrived in front of the government office and asked the soldiers if my older brother was there, the soldier scratched his head.

The officer hesitated and answered.

“I heard you got sick today and couldn’t come out···.”

“What!? Brother, you’re sick!?”

No, it’s nonsense to say that my brother is sick.

It’s unbelievable that someone who has the digestive power to chew through steel bars and has accumulated energy several times that of other people is sick.

I was startled and quickly headed to my brother’s house.

That’s because the Sahapwon, which feels like a residence behind the government office, is where my older brother uses it.

“Tongue, bro!”

As I ran into my brother’s house naked and shouted inside, the door creaked open and my brother’s face, wide-eyed, appeared from his quarters.

“Who is this? Isn’t it Cheongun? What are you doing here at this hour?”

Who has been sucking the life out of my brother?

My brother’s appearance doesn’t look normal.

I quickly ran over and grabbed my brother’s hand and asked.

“What the hell is going on!? Are you seriously ill or something!?”

Then my brother held my hand and spoke with tears in his eyes.

“Cheongun! Ugh! How on earth do you manage to raise six of them!? Even I have a hard time with just one···.”

“Huh? What is that?”

When I tilted my head at my brother’s words, my brother looked at his pants and said.

“I’m not the same as I used to be….”

‘Wow, is it erectile dysfunction!?’

A very cruel disease that comes at a man’s age and turns him into a man who cannot raise his head.

It was clear that the disease had come to my brother as he was getting older.
