Episode 555: Bingla

“Oh, I see! If it’s the sincerity of mourning for one’s parents, then of course it’s three years! Oh, somehow, when I was coming down from Dalma Peak, Monk Hyeonwon said I could come back slowly, but four, three years! It’s been three years!”

Oh! If it weren’t for Ryu Daehyeop, I might have been in big trouble! This is the wonder of Monk Hyeonwon!

Everything was arranged!”

Seongjin welcomes my words without any doubt.

Seongjin shuddered with an expression that seemed to indicate a great realization.

And then he put his hands together and asked again.

“Then, can I repay your kindness here for three years!?”

Clearly, he was asking if he could repay the favor for three years at our place, and the voice I heard in my ear was, ‘Would you mind if I became your slave for three years? I would really like to!’

It meant creating unpaid slaves, so there was no way I could refuse.

Moreover, if you get used to it even a little, it seems like you’ll be as sensitive as me, if not older than me, so how can I let you go?

Even if you go, you have to hold on to it somehow.

So he nodded with a very kind expression.

“Is this what you mean? Do whatever you want, monk. I would welcome it even if it’s not three years, but thirteen years or thirty years. Hahaha.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

‘I’m the one who should be thankful. By the way, except for my brother and the delivery boys, all the people at our place are girls. I wonder if that’s okay.’

It was when I looked at Sungjin with a happy face, who was happy that he had become a slave.

There was one thing that was slightly bothering me, and that was none other than the problem of women.

I was worried that it might be a bit inconvenient since there aren’t many men in our group.

Because all the servants are women.

Of course, what I’m worried about is not the woman, but Sungjin.

Our servants had no worries.

Aren’t they women who are not easy going because they are from a kisaeng background and who have also learned martial arts?

However, my concern is that since all the servants are former gisaengs, they might be a bit too stimulating for the monk.

After all, a monk’s job is to stay away from women.

That’s why I asked Seongjin first.

“Excuse me, monk. You said that monks practice with the mindset of jumping into a pit of fire or the fire of hell for the sake of the Buddhist law. Is that true?”

Then, Seongjin answered my question with a very obvious expression.

“I don’t know where you heard it, but it is very true. It is what those who practice the law should do.

“All Buddhist disciples should naturally have such a mind.”

“Oh. Then I guess I should work with the mindset of jumping into a pit of fire and practicing.”

“yes?”

“Oh, no.”

‘Yeah, I guess my magical powers will increase a lot if I work here.’

I was a little worried, but thinking about it the other way around, it was clear that it would be beneficial to Sungjin in many ways.

Originally, faith grew greatly when it overcame temptation.

It wouldn’t be much different from a cross or a swastika.

If you work in our place full of women who you should stay away from at a young age, you will be subject to tremendous temptations, and if you overcome them, your magical powers will grow even more.

It could be said to be a very good growing environment.

Besides, are the servants of our place just servants?

Very sexy servants who are of gisaeng origin.

If he can overcome the temptation, it is only natural that he will become a monk as miraculous as the monk Hyeonwon, whom Seongjin himself respects.

If you can’t overcome it, you will become a slave to the apostate monk for life.

I spoke to Wol-hee, who was listening to our story attentively on one side.

“Wolhee, would you like to call all the Banjeom family members down? Monk Seongjin has decided to work in the kitchen, so I should introduce him to them.”

“Oh my! I see!? Monk ‘Seongjin’ has decided to work at our restaurant!?”

This has never happened before, but Wol-hee speaks with an accent.

Wol-hee greeted Seong-jin with an elegant attitude.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Wol-hee.”

And at the end of that elegant greeting, Wol-hee’s tongue was licking her lips in a strange way.

***

That afternoon, when Seongjin decided to make noodles in the kitchen.

There was chaos in downtown Bokju.

A group of people appeared in the city of Fuzhou with animals such as dogs, monkeys, and leopards.

At first I thought it was a circus, but it turned out to be our craftsman.

With the appearance of the Beast Palace Artisan and the Craftsman Elder, who showed up with a dog, a monkey, and a leopard, our spot automatically became a spot where pets were allowed.

-Wow!

When the father-in-law arrived, the first one to run out and greet him was his older sister’s personal bag.

The craftsman patted the boy’s head with a pleased expression on his face at the sight of Baekhwa.

“Oh, so how have you been at Baekhwa?”

And then I was the one who ran out.

I was chatting with Cheong-i at the counter when I heard a familiar voice and ran out in a panic.

This is our first meeting since we decided to become sons-in-law.

“Master, it’s been a while!”

“Oh, so we met as benefactors at first, but now we have this kind of relationship. Welcome to the family. You are now the benefactor and son-in-law of the Beast Palace for life. Please take good care of our Maeng-hee.”

“Go, thank you! Go up. The others are waiting.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go.”

I quickly greeted my father-in-law and went to the third floor to greet him.

It was a place where adults who had already arrived were drinking and partying day after day.

As the door opened and the large beast master entered, all eyes turned to him.

Although it was the first time that the five craftsmen, Jegal, Namgung, Tangga, Murong, and Huangbo, had seen each other, they noticed who it was and jumped up from their seats to claim the prize.

“Nice to meet you, Beast Princess. I am the Sword King of Namgung.”

“This is the King of Hwangbo. Come in.”

“I am Zhuge Chen, the head of the Zhuge family. Nice to meet you. Have you already exchanged letters with the Beast Princess?”

“I am Murong Chengqian of Murong Family. Welcome.”

“This is Dang Ji-un, the head of the Tang family. In a way, he is the closest to me, but this is the first time I’ve seen his face.”

The Beast Palace craftsman who had entered the room at the five’s greeting smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.

“You are the ones who will share blood with our Beast Palace and son-in-law. Nice to meet you. I am Maenggyeom. Haha.”

A large build and an innate generosity.

Other craftsmen smile at the greeting of the Beast Palace craftsman.

When I thought it was time, I asked the servant who was outside.

“Shall I go and tell all the wives to come here?”

“Yes, I understand, Mr. Ryu.”

After the servant ran downstairs, the wives appeared not long after.

The wives asked as they entered the room.

“Gaga, you called us?”

“My lord, why did you call me?”

“Unrang, why did you call?”

From Yeong-yeong to Mimi, and then to Maeng-hee, Cheong-i, Ga-ryeon, and So-so.

When everyone entered, we quickly bowed deeply to the craftsmen who were looking at us.

-thud.

Then the craftsmen blinked in surprise.

“Cheongun, what are you doing?”

“Hey, why are you bowing all of a sudden?”

He seemed a little surprised when I suddenly bowed deeply.

If you bow deeply like this out of the blue in the Central Plains, it is because you are praying to apologize.

“gaga?”

“Old man?”

The wives also seemed a little embarrassed when he suddenly bowed deeply.

I spoke with the most serious expression I could muster, receiving everyone’s attention.

“Son-in-law Ryu Cheong-un! The reason I bowed so deeply to the father-in-laws is because in our family, when a man wants to get married, he visits the prospective bride’s family and asks for permission for the marriage from the father-in-laws. At that time, he bows deeply to the father-in-laws and says this.

“Master! Please give me your daughter! I adore this Ryu Cheong-un daughter! Please allow us to marry!”

As soon as my screaming ended, the room became very cheerful.

“Hehe, was there such a good family tradition? I was worried because I left this to my daughter…”

“What a great family tradition. Ahem···.”

“Even though my son-in-law has not mastered martial arts, he is a man who never lacks in anything. Thank you for telling him that.”

“Thank you···.”

“teacher···.”

“My lord···.”

A group of artisans with reddened eyes.

And the wives were thrilled with emotion.

Please give me your daughter. This is something that brings tears to the eyes of fathers who have raised their daughters, regardless of the era, and makes women tremble.

‘I had a great day today. Cheongun was the best day of my life.’

That was when I was so happy that it was the best timing of my life.

A voice is heard.

“What are you all doing? Your son-in-law is waiting over there. Why won’t you answer him? A man has the courage to ask for a woman, so you must answer him.”

The mother-in-law of the Bukhae Ice Palace urged the craftsmen who were unable to answer right away.

Then the craftsmen looked at each other, nodded, and answered simultaneously in moist voices.

“““Please, take good care of our daughter.”””

It seemed that Ryu Cheong-un’s wedding with his six wives was just around the corner.

***

The price for thrilling the craftsmen and their wives was high.

I had to drink so much alcohol that I couldn’t come to my senses while being handed over to the moved craftsmen.

Everyone is feeling better so they ask us to have one drink each, but then we have six drinks.

Even if you drink two glasses each, it’s still twelve glasses.

“It seems like it can’t get any harder….”

In the Central Plains, there are no odd numbers, so three glasses is not allowed, and four glasses is not allowed because it is unlucky.

So we should have had six glasses per person, so we already had thirty-six.

Since I received it in a large Chinese wine glass, four glasses would be one bottle of wine, which meant that I would have emptied about nine bottles by myself.

They can drink happily because they can blow off some steam, but for me, who is a criminal, nine bottles is excessive.

As I was barely holding on to my senses, Master Zhuge Liang smiled and spoke to me.

“Oh my, this guy, who can’t hold his liquor well, asked for my daughter? Oh my… I think I need to reconsider this….”

“No, that story is already over···.”

Zhuge Jang-in threatens that if you don’t drink, your wedding will be ruined.

“Stop it. Thousand. If you do that, I’ll catch your son-in-law.”

“Hahaha, he’s our son-in-law, can you catch him? Do whatever you want.”

With the help of his mother-in-law and the Beast Palace Jain, he barely manages to stay conscious and escape. When he enters his room, Cheong is waiting for him there.

Cheong-i was sitting quietly, waiting for me.

It was a somewhat timid appearance, no different from usual, but when a person becomes this much, they start to have a sense of humor, and after spending time together, they can read Cheong-i’s mind just by looking at her eyes.

No matter how I looked at it, Cheong-i’s eyes were full of the intention to give him a lot of gifts in return for impressing me.

A drink that suddenly breaks your spirits.

But he said that while maintaining his drunken appearance and almost falling into bed.

“Father, wife, oh my, I’m tired. I had a hard time today because I drank too much. Hmm···.”

And as I was about to fall asleep, Cheong put her hand on the top of my head.

‘What, what? Are you telling me not to talk nonsense!?’

My whole body flinched at the feeling of Cheong-i’s warm hands on my scalp.

No matter how you look at it, this was a hand gesture that said, ‘If you do something stupid, you’ll get kicked out.’

But once you decide to maintain a certain position, you have to keep doing it.

If I open my eyes now, I’ll be squeezed even more because I tried to deceive you.

So, I was about to close my eyes and go to sleep.

It feels like something is being sucked out of my head.

Suddenly, I came to my senses.

And then I heard Cheong-yi’s quiet voice in my ear.

[The old man and the drunkard have all been sucked out.]

When you say you’re drunk, it means you’ve sucked the alcohol out of your head.

It seemed that there was no way to avoid Cheong-i’s emotional feelings today.

‘I can’t take whatever I want since I have a wife who is a martial arts master!’

It was a time when I was screaming to myself that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted anymore.

Cheong-i’s next words.

[My mother brought me some new clothes this time, so I wore them inside.]

‘New clothes?’

A situation where your eyes, which had been closed, suddenly open slightly at the mention of new clothes.

Cheong-yi continued speaking, tickling my ear.

[My mother said that she asked the Ice Palace to bring it to her, and because it was as transparent as ice, the Ice Palace called it Bingla (??).]

‘Rain, Bingla!?’

Eyes sparkling at the mention of silk as transparent as ice.

The moment I opened my eyes, my vision felt very refreshing, perhaps because I could feel the energy of the North Sea.

Because Cheong-i was wearing only a piece of transparent plastic.

Before I knew it, my fist had covered my mouth.

‘Gyaaaah!’

And from today onwards, the wives’ devotion to repay the favor will continue one after another, but I am beginning to wonder if I will be able to survive until the wedding.
