Chapter 32 – The Lazy Man Shows the Way (2)
Slurp.
On a night when darkness had fallen, Jin Ye-ran filled her glass alone with alcohol. She usually did not enjoy drinking, but on nights like this, she could not come to her senses without drinking.
Jin Ye-ran let out a deep sigh as she looked at the cold liquor filling her glass.
“……Wow, it looks like a painting.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded his head without realizing it as he watched Jin Ye-ran pouring a glass of wine alone on a moonlit night.
It's Wolha Gain… … .
Even Wei Yanho, who could be said to have little interest in others, could not help but admit that the sight was beautiful.
But now was not the time to admire its beauty.
“If I drink alone, I feel sick.”
Wi Yeon-ho walked slowly and sat down across from Jin Ye-ran. Jin Ye-ran glanced at Wi Yeon-ho, but did not stop him from sitting down.
“Would you like a drink?”
As Wi Yeon-ho looked around for a glass, Jin Ye-ran silently handed him the glass that was next to him.
Slurp.
When Wi Yeon-ho received the glass, Jin Ye-ran poured it for him.
“A lonely person is a lonely person.”
“Wouldn’t it be more poisonous to look at your face right now?”
“Hmm, then should I lie down? I won’t be able to see your face.”
“That’s a solution worthy of Confucius.”
Jin Ye-ran bowed her head deeply.
"sorry."
"yes?"
“I know that the above Confucius has done much for me, but I couldn’t control my anger at the moment and ended up saying those words. I thought I should apologize, but I was too shameless to come see you.”
“Don't worry about it.”
“How could I not care?”
Jin Ye-ran looked at Lee Ji-hyeok with slightly dazed eyes. Her face, slightly flushed from the intoxication, was making her beauty shine even brighter.
“It’s not easy.”
“What is it?”
Jin Ye-ran seemed to think for a moment and then continued speaking.
“It’s hard enough to follow the teachings of my ancestors, but what’s really hard is knowing that what a child says isn’t wrong. Maybe I was being a jerk.”
"hmm……."
“No. I’m sure he was being a jerk. He was forcing Soa to follow my ideal path as a doctor, saying that this is how a doctor should be. In fact, my father only asked me to raise Soa to be a great doctor and to rebuild Seongsujang. But I think I’ve come up with my own idea of what a great doctor is.”
“Ugh.”
Wi Yeon-ho did not hide his expression that he was disgusted by difficult stories. Jin Ye-ran, who saw his face, couldn't help but laugh.
“I’m sorry. This has nothing to do with the above story…….”
“Actually.”
"yes?"
Wi Yeon-ho looked at Jin Ye-ran quietly.
As time passed while their eyes met, Jin Ye-ran, unable to overcome the awkwardness, turned her head away with a blush on her face.
“I don’t really understand what you’re worried about.”
"yes?"
Jin Ye-ran tilted her head slightly.
It wouldn't have been such a difficult story. Considering that the Wi Yeon-ho he had seen so far was not a stupid person, even if he was lazy, it should be seen that what he was saying now did not mean that he did not understand Jin Ye-ran's words.
then?
“The Master said… well, I guess this has become a habit these days… anyway, the old man said that if you want something, you have to achieve it yourself.”
“…….”
“That old man was a grumpy and very annoying person, but at least he never said anything wrong. To be exact, he was the kind of person who would always say the right thing, but all the things he said were right things that people didn’t like hearing, so he was twice as annoying…….”
When Jin Ye-ran suddenly felt bewildered after hearing gossip from a stranger, Wi Yeon-ho brought the topic of Samcheonpo back to its original place.
“Anyway, if what the inspiration says is mostly correct, I think it’s also correct to say that if there’s something you want to achieve, you have to achieve it yourself. People usually expect others to do what they want to achieve, but it’s just a thirsty person digging a well.”
"therefore……."
Jin Ye-ran cleared her throat.
“You want me to do it?”
"yes."
Wi Yeon-ho nodded without hesitation.
“Isn’t that what you want too?”
“Your Majesty, the eldest son of Seongsujang is Soa.”
“I think this is the first time I’ve heard that only the eldest son is qualified to establish a family.”
“I am a woman.”
“I think this is the first time I’ve heard that only men can establish a family. Especially if they are doctors.”
Jin Ye-ran couldn't hide her confused expression at Wi Yeon-ho's words.
'Me myself?'
She thought that the mission given to her was to make Jin So-ah a great member of the National Assembly. She never once thought of doing anything on Jin So-ah's behalf.
“Me?”
Confused, Jin Ye-ran asked again and again.

Wei Yanho did not answer with a sullen expression. He knew that the question was asking for certainty, but the person who could answer it was not Wei Yanho, but Jin Yeran herself.
“Can I do it?”
“Nobody knows.”
Wi Yeon-ho spoke honestly.
“But from what I’ve seen, the ideal member of parliament that Jin So-jeo wants is different from the direction of the Seongsujang and the path that So-ah wants to take. But if you force that on others, there’s bound to be a problem.”
"ah……."
“And I think that Lady Jin is thinking about two different things in succession.”
“What do you mean?”
Wi Yeon-ho tapped the glass in front of him with his finger. The alcohol inside the glass created ripples.
“Asking So-ah to become a great member of the National Assembly and asking her to rebuild Seongsujang are clearly different things, but I think you think the two should be linked together.”
“…….”
“It’s okay for a child to become a great member of the National Assembly. It’s not necessary for a child to rebuild the Holy Water Hall. You think that only a child is qualified to rebuild the Holy Water Hall, so you keep fixating on the child.”
Jin Ye-ran's eyes wavered.
Wi Yeon-ho spoke honestly.
“I’m lazy and can’t think about other people’s business. But I know one thing. I have to do my own work. If you want to rebuild Seongsujang, you shouldn’t leave it to Soja, but you should do it yourself. Especially if you want to rebuild Seongsujang into the ideal doctor you envision.”
Jin Ye-ran looked at Wi Yeon-ho without saying anything.
"why?"
“……The above Confucius is a strange person.”
“That’s a story I hear often.”
“What a strange person, really.”
Jin Ye-ran, who had been quietly looking at Wi Yeon-ho, raised her head and looked at the moon floating in the sky. The moon, half-hidden by the clouds, was brightly illuminating the dark night.
“Can I do it?”
“Nobody knows. But one thing is certain…….”
Wi Yeon-ho lifted the glass in front of him.
“Those who don’t move, those who don’t try, those who just think, can’t achieve anything.”
“Is this self-harm?”
"well."
Wi Yeon-ho smiled brightly.
“I am a person who is very satisfied with the way I live. I don’t have any particular desire to achieve anything, and I don’t think about what I should do. But I think I am happier than Lady Jin right now.”
“…….”
“Because I’m doing what I want to do. Of course, there are times when I have to do things I don’t want to do because of my damn master.”
“That master is really a good person. He moved the above Confucius.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked up at the sky in silence.
– Be happy.
It seemed as if I could see my master's face smiling gently.
“Maybe so.”
Jin Ye-ran looked at Wi Yeon-ho quietly.
It was a fact that was usually not noticed because of his calm expression, but there was a hint of longing in Wei Yanhu's eyes.
“The above Confucius is a truly unique person.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“The above Confucius’ words are right. If there is something I want to do, I must do it with my own hands. Perhaps I have been wishing for So-ah to take a path that is too difficult for me to take. That should not be the case.”
Jin Ye-ran's voice was slightly trembling.
“I… can I do it well?”
“I told you, I don’t know.”
“But please tell me that I can do it.”
To Jin Ye-ran, who seemed to be trying to shake off her anxiety, Wi Yeon-ho told her the best he could do.
“You just have to work as hard as you are anxious.”
“…….”
“It’s natural to feel anxious. Everyone feels anxious. However, there are those who end up feeling anxious and those who put in as much effort as they feel anxious. People who put in effort don’t necessarily succeed, but most people who put in effort end up becoming better people than they were before.”
“Is that so?”
“I know that Lady Jin has been trying hard up until now. However, her efforts were directed in the wrong direction. Now, she just needs to work in a more proper direction.”
The person to whom these words most inappropriately fit would be Wei Yanho.
If Jin Ye-ran had said something like that to Wi Yeon-ho, she would have just listened to it with one ear and let it go out the other.
But strangely enough, the current Wi Yeon-ho feels trustworthy.
'If you think about it… … .'
This guy showed up and everything changed.
Seongsujang, who had been struggling in poverty, was freed from debt, and Jin So-ah declared the revival of Seongsujang by following her own path. And now, she was even showing the way to Jin Ye-ran.
'weirdo.'
He is such a strange person.
The moon was quietly and kindly looking down on the two of them.
* * *
“……Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Are you okay?”
At Saga's words, Gwanggu Shingae snorted.
“Where is the most successful medical clinic in the Central Plains right now?”
“Of course it’s the Holy See!”
"also?"
"yes?"
“Where else but Seongsujang?”
“Well… isn’t that the White-Coated Doctor’s School?”
"yes?"
The Gwanggu Shingae smiled bitterly.
“How is the relationship between those two?”
“Hey, you ask such strange things. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the new elders, Seongsujang, and Baekuimun are enemies who fight and clash over every little thing?”
“Yeah, we’re enemies, we’re enemies.”
The Gwanggu Shingae clicked its tongue.
“From that day on, Lady Jin changed the name of the nameless room with a new heart and new meaning. It was to remind her not to forget her unwavering heart towards her patients.”
"no way?"
“Yes. The predecessor of Baekuimun is Muumyeongbang. Thanks to Wei Yanho’s visit, both Seongsujang and Baekuimun were created in Hubei.”
Saga's eyes trembled.
Seongsujang was famous for its great influence, to the point that it would not be an exaggeration to call it the best medical school in the Central Plains, and Baekuiuimun was famous for treating patients to the point that it was called Uijungjimun. Aren't these two groups, whose personalities and directions are so different, like water and fire, incompatible?
Not long ago, the relationship was so bad that the members of the party even attacked each other with saliva.
But those two medicines came from the same root!
“It only takes a moment for siblings to become enemies.”
The sight of the tongue-clicking Guanggu Shingae somehow looked grumpy. Saga ended up shaking his head with a groan.
