Chapter 77: The Lazy Man, Appearance (3)
“No, I told you to bow there!”
“I did it.”
“I told you not to bow like that! Your hands are facing the opposite direction.”
“Which side was above?”
“Right! Right! Right! Right! Right! Right, right!”
“Okay, what?”
“No, that’s not it……”
The painting was so beautiful that it made me go crazy.
'Where on earth did this idiot come from?'
An order was given to teach etiquette and manners to someone who was to meet the emperor. The person who gave the order was Lee Wang-ya, so I was a little nervous, but I didn't think it was particularly difficult. His original job was to teach etiquette to people.
but…….
“Why don’t you understand even after I explained it to you?”
“I think I need an excuse for this…….”
"yes?"
Wi Yeon-ho crouched down on the spot and lightly struck the floor with his fist.
Phew!
The solid bluestone that had been laid on the floor was shattered.
“…….”
The famous painter, who thought he was being threatened, felt slightly embarrassed and stepped back.
“You can just gather your strength into your fist and strike. Can you do it?”
“Is that even possible?”
“Right? That’s exactly how I feel right now.”
“…….”
“If everything could be explained, there would only be people in the Central Plains who could do everything. In reality, that’s not the case.”
It was a very convincing sophistry.
If you learn etiquette this many times, you should be able to do the three bows even if you are a monkey.
“Ugh.”
In the end, Myeonghwa gave up with both hands and both feet.
"first……."
The famous painter looked up at the sky once and lowered his head. He saw Wei Yanhu crouching down and dozing off and shouted.
“Stop talking like that!”
The desperate voice of the famous painter resonated throughout the palace.
"……okay?"
“I can’t do it. It’s beyond my ability.”
Lee Wang-ya tilted his head back with a look of despair.
'It's not strange anymore that my back hurts. It's natural.'
I think it was originally like that.
“Are you saying that it is so difficult to learn just one etiquette?”
“I don’t know about other people, but…….”
Lee Wang-ya's impression was completely different.
“I guess he’s just being lazy.”
“To tell you the truth, I don’t think so.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
The famous painter said with a trembling face.
“I’ve heard people call me the world’s laziest person, so I’ve prepared myself for it… But other than being unable to overcome my drowsiness and falling asleep, I’m not trying to avoid learning manners. It seems like I know that I have to do this.”
"however?"
Then why can't you learn?
“When you teach people, you sometimes meet people of that race.”
"huh?"
“There are seeds that show incredible progress in areas that they judge to be ‘worth learning,’ but are slower than monkeys in learning in areas that are not related to that.”
“Ugh…….”
“The bigger problem is that it is not the brain that determines that this is ‘something worth learning.’”
“Is it true that the body makes its own choices?”
“Yes, that’s my opinion, but this is useless. No matter how much you teach them, they’re worse than monkeys…….”
“Enough with the monkey story.”
Lee Wang-ya let out a deep sigh.
No matter how much he complained about the boy named Wi Yeon-ho, he respected what he had accomplished. He even respected the strength he had achieved at that age. So comparing him to a monkey was too harsh.
“After all, it’s hard to teach that guy manners, that’s what I’m saying.”
“Rather than saying it’s difficult, I would say it’s impossible. It’s not that I don’t learn because I don’t have the will.”
“……I understand for now.”
Lee Wang-ya nodded heavily.
'It wasn't unexpected.'
Although it is unclear why Moon Yu-hwan was trying to bring His Majesty the Emperor and Wei Yan-ho together, Lee Wang-ya was fully aware of the dangers of the matter.

If we know the outcome, isn't it the natural course of action for humans to try to reduce the risk?
“At this point, I guess we can say that a formal audience is out of the question.”
This was also for the sake of Wi Yeon-ho.
If you made a mistake in a non-official setting, you could cover it up, but if you made a mistake in front of civil and military officials, there was no room for excuses.
And in that situation, hoping that Wi Yeon-ho would not make a mistake was no different from waiting for a bolt from the blue.
“Ugh, nothing ever goes as planned.”
Lee Wang-ya sighed deeply.

“……I’ll go with you.”
Wi Jeong-han said in a solemn tone.
“No. I will go with you.”
The coral reef also did not back down an inch.
“It is right for me to go. It is my duty as the eldest son.”
“I’m grown up too. I can handle this kind of work. It’s my duty as an older brother to take care of my younger brother.”
“It is a father’s duty to take care of his children. Don’t say anything.”
"one……."
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the two people with a blank expression and then blurted out.
“No one can go with me. I’m going alone.”
"……no."
“Ugh.”
Wi Jeong-han and Wi San-ho lowered their heads with frustrated expressions.
I'm scared. And I'm terrified.
It was scary to think about what he would do if he were to be allowed into the palace alone. Even Wei Shanhou, who had always trusted and believed in Wei Yanhou, was hesitating.
Wi Jeong-han looked at Wi Yeon-ho quietly and then opened his mouth.
“Yeonho.”
"yes?"
“……You do know that if you upset His Majesty, three generations of your clan could be wiped out, right?”
"i know."
“So if anything happens…….”
Wi Jeong-han said with a stern face.
“Somehow, so that the guilt by association is not applied and you can end this on your own…….”
“Arai!”
Wi Yeon-ho grabbed the pillow next to him and threw it.
“Is that something you say to your child?”
“Shouldn’t the living live?”
“Who died? Who?”
“I’m not dead yet, but…….”
“Kaaaak!”
Wi Yeon-ho lost his temper.
“When I die, I will drag you in unconditionally, saying that I learned it from my father, so know that!”
“You unfilial son of a bitch! You have to save your father!”
“You have to save your children! Your children!”
Wi Jeong-han lowered his head as if he was frustrated.
“Oh my, father, ancestors… Look down. Yeonho is entering the palace.”
“I don’t know why everyone is so impatient.”
As Wei Yanho scratched his head, those watching the situation clicked their tongues.
'You don't know, you alone.'
'Do you really not know what you are like? Did you really do it without knowing? That's all?'
“Amitabha.”
Even Musan ended up rejecting it.
“It is fate, so I hope you are reborn in paradise…….”
Kuung!
Everyone shook their heads as they watched Musan fall after being hit once.
'Then why are you beating me?'
'He's so oblivious because he's in the middle of something.'
“Don’t worry, I’ll come back safely. Isn’t the Emperor just a human?”
“……The more you listen, the more anxious you become. That’s talent, talent.”
The moment Wi Jeong-han was about to say one more thing, the door opened and a servant stuck his head out.
“I have ordered you to prepare for the funeral.”
“Eek!”
“It has come!”
"at las!"
People were terrified.
What had only been imagined began to actually happen. That Wei Yanhu entered the palace. Those who knew how dangerous this was looked at Wei Yanhu with anxious eyes.
“Then I’ll be back.”
'If you can come.'
'It would be a great success if I could just get out of the palace again.'
Whether he knew what everyone was feeling or not, Wei Yanho waved his hand brightly and left the room.
“He’s gone.”
“……gone.”
The officials who had been watching the situation looked at Wi Jeong-han with serious eyes.
"senior."
"hmm?"
“Shouldn’t you run away?”
“…….”
“Those who live according to your words should live. If we do something wrong, the Guangdong Wei family will really be torn apart…….”
“Hey! You punk!”
Wi Jeong-han, who had kicked the official, shouted and cursed.
“Is that something you should say in front of people?”
“You did it too, senior!”
“That’s my job, so that’s what I do! It’s not for others to say!”
“I’m saying this because I’m anxious! Because I’m anxious!”
The officials shouted.
“Does it make sense to send that guy to the palace alone? Haven’t you thought about the consequences, Senior?”
"joy."
Wi Jeong-han laughed and said.
“I may have joked in front of Yeonho, but if I don’t trust my own child, who will?”
“……Are you in your right mind?”
“Perfectly.”
Wi Jeong-han said firmly.
“He acts like he doesn’t think much, but he’s actually a deeper thinker than anyone here. And he sees farther than anyone else.”
At that moment, Gong Mu-jin's eyes trembled.
'Are you serious?'
“And even if something goes wrong, should I avoid blaming my child for his mistakes?”
"ah……."
Wi Jeong-han said, closing his eyes.
“If I haven’t raised my child properly, that’s also my fault. If I’ve already missed my chance and can’t go in the direction I want, then it’s the parents’ job to trust and wait for their child.”
Gong Mu-jin nodded deeply without realizing it.
'It may not have been a coincidence that Weichanho and Weiyenho appeared.'
It is thanks to this educational philosophy and teaching methods that such talented people can grow.
When I think about it, if he himself were Wei Yanho's parent, he might have tormented him in the name of curing his laziness and ruined his genius.
'I'm telling you, he's definitely a senior from whom I can learn a lot.'
Although he was a somewhat absent-minded person who made me wonder if he was really the man who was called Jeong Hyo-geom whenever I saw him, I couldn't help but respect him because of the way he sometimes acted.
Even though they are from different directions, he is definitely worthy of respect… … .
At that moment, the door flew open.
"honey!"
"huh?"
Han Sang-ah opened the door and came inside, and began to tilt her head.
“What does this mean? The governor sent a letter asking if it was okay to just dispose of the fields and buildings?”
“…….”
The eyes of the people were all fixed on Wi Jeong-han.
“Khuh-huh…….”
Wi Jeong-han coughed in vain and nodded.
“Just say so and reply.”
“Okay, I understand for now.”
Han Sang-ah looked at Wi Jeong-han with suspicious eyes and quietly closed the door.
widely.
Even though a long time had passed since the sound of the door closing, no one spoke. Wei Zhenghan, oppressed by the heavy silence, smiled awkwardly and said.
“Just in case……. Just in case.”
The reaction was explosive.
“This is awesome.”
“I need to learn that kind of thing.”
“The fact that the letter has arrived now means that you contacted me before I even entered Beijing. Wow, that preparation! His reputation is not without reason.”
Gong Mu-jin said with a sly smile.
“Don’t believe me.”
“Khuhhhhh.”
The awkward sound of Wijeonghan's coughing kept coming out.
“Those who are meant to live, must live! Those who are meant to live!”
“Who said what!”
“You guys, this isn’t something to laugh about. If something happens, the military will rush in from here, so pack your bags in advance!”
“Surely not…….”
Before the official's question could even be answered, people rushed outside to pack their bags.
Wi Jeong-han clicked his tongue at the sight.
“I can’t believe my child was this untrustworthy.”
“I don’t think that’s something a senior should say.”
“…….”
