Episode 97. My older brother
is my older brother (2) “Mr.
The fireman’s eyes widened at the words of the poet, but soon changed to a worried expression.
‘It’s congratulatory for the Hyeonbi Mama, but the Cheongbi Mama must be jealous. Please don’t let the sparks fly on me.....’
“Yes. I should go and congratulate you.”
“His Highness Sang and Hyeonbi Mama are still waiting for Congressman Hwabu.”
“ah-. You came to pick me up.”
“yes.”
“Hyung, I’ll be back before Hyeonbi.”
“Okay, I’m fine now, so don’t worry.”
Hwabok, who regained her energy after drinking the decoction, thought to herself as she waved her hands.
‘The poets look at the original painting so highly.’
Hwabok was feeling a sense of alienation while watching his younger brother.
At home, I was just the youngest. At least recently, it has been known that medicine is good, and he has healed his mother, but the youngest brother is still the youngest brother. But when I came here, I saw that my younger brother was already a high official.
‘By the way, I heard that you turned down the position on the city council... Why are the city council members so polite?’
Hwa-bok did not know that his younger brother had been given an inspection plaque to supervise the government of all prefectures in the defeated country. Because of this, it was mistaken that the poets were admiring their younger brother’s medical skills.
‘ha-. Anyway, I don’t have the face to look at the original painting anymore. To think I couldn’t even keep a small promise like this with my younger brother... I’m not qualified to hold a government post.’

Sang Jin-gyu was determined to recommend Hwa-bok to filial piety after hearing Eun-muk’s evaluation. But in the meantime, when Hyeonbi also became pregnant, the painter looked better.
Hyeonbi felt more like that than Sang.
It was unpleasant to have the same slander against Cheongbi, but in fact, it was not that he did not understand the painter’s position on it, and since he had conceived first of all, he did not hesitate to make such a small fault an issue.
“How are you? Did you really have a meeting this time?”
Hyeonbi asked with a slightly nervous expression as he looked at the painter who took a step back after sifting his hand.
Seonghwan of the city council had already diagnosed that she had conceived, but since Gyeongdeok of the city council had made a misdiagnosis in the past, anxiety remained.
The painter smiled and nodded at Hyeonbi’s question.
“Cut down. A healthy baby is growing in Mama’s belly.”
“You really had a meeting. After hearing what Congressman Hwa said, I feel relieved now.”
Hyeonbi’s eyes were even slightly reddened.
Sang Jin-gyu, who was watching Hyeon-bi, opened his mouth.
“Chief Hwa, then, is the baby in Hyuni’s belly a son or a daughter?”
“The baby is still too small to determine the sex.”
Jin-gyu made a slightly puzzled expression at the fireman’s answer.
“Didn’t you guess the sex of all babies just by looking at them without taking a pulse?”
“At that time, everyone was full, so it was possible.”
“I’m hoping for a son, so maybe you didn’t tell me on purpose?”
“How can you say you don’t know when you know?”
“There were things that Congressman Hwa couldn’t do. I am surprised.”
“My medical skills are still very poor.”
“Tsk, that bastard’s humility. Anyway, I heard that my brother came.”
For a moment, the painter’s complexion hardened slightly.
“Yes, I’ve been here, but there must have been some accidents on the way, and I’m almost dying, so even though I have to get to know your Highness first, I’m treating you first.”
“I heard about what had already happened through Eun Dok-woo.”
“Are you poisonous?”
The fireman suddenly remembered what Ohbo had told him. I couldn’t believe it when I heard Obo’s words, but it seems that he was a real friend.
“Then... the test you were talking about at the time...”
“That’s right. It was directed by Eun Dok-woo. A secret from your brother.”
The painter sighed deeply and knelt down towards Sang Jin-gyu.
dump.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“My brother had circumstances, but I couldn’t keep the promise you made until the Dragon Boat Festival. I hope that His Highness will bestow the same grace as Hahae.”
“How happy my mother would be if she found out that I was being recommended for filial piety.”
Hwabok shed tears as she stroked the letter of recommendation with the official seal of the award.
“I’m in a hurry because I have to go to treat Hwang Wan-tae-wei, but hyung can drop by my house.”
“Didn’t His Highness tell me to go with you?”
“But it is not urgent. I’m not going to start training right away just because my brother is leaving anyway. So come and see your mother.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, do it.”
“Yes, there is no fixed period, and you can get rid of the horse, so it will be a little late, but it won’t make a difference in a few days.”
“I will not enter the imperial palace. I’m going to treat Taewi Hwangwan, so I’ll be at Hwangjijang, so please come when hyung comes to Hwangdo too.”
“I get it.”
“Have a drink from me.”
When the painter poured wine into his brother’s glass, the older brother also poured alcohol into the painter’s glass.
After lightly clinking their glasses, the two emptied their glasses at the same time.
“It is the first time in my life that I have tasted such delicious alcohol.”
“It’s the first time I’ve had such a delicious drink.”
“Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve done a masterpiece like this with you.”
“uh! I see. Boon and hyung drank it a few times, but this is the first time for hyung.”
“If I knew that the alcohol I drink with you is this delicious, I would drink it often at home.”
“Later, when my older brother finishes his imperial class and is appointed to the prefectural government, then the whole family has a drink.”
“Yes, I will. Thank you anyway. It is entirely because of your virtue that I was recommended for filial piety.”
“It can’t be. Is Sang really that kind of person? All of this is because my brother is good at it. Congratulations brother.”
“It’s all thanks to you, so don’t be humble. Get another drink.”
“yes.”
The two drank as if they were drinking water.
While drinking with his brother, the painter was secretly worried about what kind of disease Taewi Hwang-wan, who was called Sang-sang’s uncle, was sick.
‘I hope it’s a disease that can be cured...’

‘Huh? What is that bastard?’
Ok-ju secretly started following the fireman and his older brother as they left the castle. In the meantime, I realized that there was someone following behind me ahead of me.
Ok-ju realized that the man secretly following the fireman was of the same type as herself.
‘It looks like it’s Salsu...’
Ok-ju kept a little more distance and followed Salsu.
‘uh! That’s a tombstone. Could it be that he is the executor of the cult?’
Myohyangbo was a secret step that kills signs like that of a cat.
‘It looks like a very skilled enforcer with at least a second grade.’
I swallowed dry saliva.
The B-level enforcer is the same level as the escort chief when he is the branch manager of Chohyeon. If you look at your skills alone, you can overpower yourself, but... The problem is that B-level enforcers basically bring three or four Byeong-level enforcers with them.
‘It would be difficult if that guy ambushed the enforcers...’
He paused.
When the leader suddenly lowered her posture and hid, Ok-ju also reflexively hid herself.
The painter broke up with his brother and went to the stable to buy a horse.
After a while, the horse the fireman rode and the horse the two disciples rode started running, and the man chasing them also hurriedly ran somewhere.
Because Ok-ju already knew where the fireman was going, he did not chase after the man who was following him.
Ok-ju saw three men waiting for the trailer at the corner of the village. They had already finished their preparations by the end.
‘As expected, he had a group of enforcers.’
The follower immediately mounted his horse and began to run down the side road in the direction the fireman had gone.
‘Looking at the shortcut, they also know the destination of the Hwabu Councilor.’
Ok-ju hurriedly ran to the stable, bought a horse, and drove the horse in the direction the painter had gone.
‘If I let them know that Salsu is chasing them and help me avoid them... I’ll be more inclined to treat them.’
