Kang Seung-yoon, who was looking at Jong-seok's handwriting with surprised eyes, opened his mouth.
"You know how to write Wang Mung-kyeong'
Kang Seung-yoon, who had been serving in the military until now, changed his words to honor Jong-seok after reading his writings.
As Kang Seung-yoon is an expert in ancient books, he was well-versed in calligraphy.
As soon as he saw the writing, he recognized Jong-seok's calligraphy and treated him with respect.
People who do calligraphy think of themselves as scholars, so the moment they see Jong-seok's handwriting, they treat him with respect as a scholar, not as a young person.
Although Kang Seung-yoon wants to take Wang Ga-hoon to the museum so that many people can see him... Not a bad person.
"A little."
Kang Seung-yoon, who was watching Jong-seok for a while, opened his mouth.
"If you write this much of Wang's handwriting, is there a reason you want to sell it?"
"My acquaintance is sick and needs hospital bills."
Moon Jae-chul said to Jong-seok.
"Is it because of Ko Young-dong?"
"Yes."
"Well, if it's for the treatment, I can help you."
"Really?"
"We'll have to find out, but the support policy for the working class in our hospital will help pay for it."
"Well... isn't someone else getting the benefit?"
"That's... that's right.”
It is true that if Ko Young-dong takes the position, others will not benefit from it.
"That's all right. I can't take the benefits away from those who need it."
Then Jong-seok looked at Kang Seung-yoon.
"Can you tell me the price range?"
At Jong-seok's words, Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth after watching the Royal Household Flag for a while.
"The booklets written by Wang Mung-kyeong are not very much left, but rather high in price."
Kang Seung-yoon, who was watching the Royal Household Flag while talking, continued.
"However, the book is not in very good condition, nor is it branded by Wang Mung-kyeong. I don't know about Jongseok, but there's a big price difference depending on whether he's branded or not."
"So how much do you mean?”
At Jong-seok's straightforward question, Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth while looking at him.
"If you sell the Royal Order to a private collector, it'll cost somewhere between two and three hundred million."
"Memories to Three Million? I thought the price would be low just because there was no stigma... It's expensive.'
When Jong-seok thought inside, Kang Seung-yoon continued.
"The stigma and storage are not good, but the handwriting is good and the content is good."
Wang Mungyeong left a book to teach the family, so the contents were good.
And one of the factors that set the price of ancient books was the content.
Even an ancient book written by the same author changes the price depending on the content.
"In addition, Wang's handwriting is gathered like this, so Chinese collectors would like to buy it at a higher price."
At Kang Seung-yoon's words, Jong-seok said with curious eyes.
"If there was an optimism, what would it be?"
"It depends on who meets the owner, but... At least it will be designated as a treasure in China."
"Treasure class?"
When Jongseok was surprised to hear that he was like a Chinese cultural asset, Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth while looking at him.
"If you need money right now..."
Kang Seung-yoon, who was thinking for a while, opened his mouth.
"The museum is willing to buy it for 100 million won."
Jong-seok looked at Kang Seung-yoon for a moment. And the adults of Moon Bang-woo looked at it with curious eyes.
"You just told me that the Royal Household Warrior would be two to three billion won.”
The question was why 100 million won. Looking at the stone, Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth.
"There are three ways to get ancient books in the museum. The first is for a private collector to donate, and the second is for a private collector to lend to a museum as an organ."
"The third must be paying for it.”
"Yes, but due to the conditions of the National Museum, it is difficult to buy old books for a large sum."
Jong-seok, who was watching Kang Seung-yoon for a while, looked at Moon Jae-cheol.
"How much will Ko Young-dong's hospital bill be?"
"Hmm... wait."
The director of the hospital does not even know all the costs of treating patients. No, it is right to say that you don't know.
Doctors treat but pay for the hospital.
Moon Jae-chul, who called the hospital, checked Ko Young-dong's condition and medical expenses.
Then soon the phone boiled and looked at Jong-seok.
"We'll probably have to think about a thousand because we'll be in the hospital by next month."
"Isn't medical insurance available?"
"It's because of medical insurance.
"Ah..."
When he said 10 million won, Jong-seok thought for a moment and looked at Kang Seung-yoon.
"What happens when I enter the museum?”
"First of all, some restoration work will be done in the old book management office, and it will soon be on display in the museum and open to the public."
"Open to the public..."
The inside of Jong-seok's head has become complicated.
"Sells what's worth two hundred million or three hundred million... What shall we do?’
When you think of money, it's not worth worrying about.
But... ...if you sell it to a private collector, the Royal Order becomes a book for only one person.
If it is sold in the museum, many people will be able to learn about Wang Mungyeong by looking at Wang Ga-hoon.
Others will know the Wang Mungyeong that they admired.
Ha! I'm worried.’
Two billion, three hundred million... I couldn't feel how much it was.
However, I had a thought in my head that I wanted to hand it over to the museum.
Is that what the merchant experience wants? Sell it for 100 million won? Or is it academic experience?'
It seemed that a bachelor's degree would place more importance on justification than money.
I don't even know whose experience this is.’
Jong-seok, who had such thoughts, said after a while.
"I want to think for a moment.”
"Do so."
At Kang Seung-yoon's words, Jong-seok went to his seat and took notes and pencils out of his bag and went to the corner.
Apparently wanting to be alone, the members of Moon Bang-woo started watching Wang Ga-hoon without approaching.
Jong-seok, who glanced at it, wrote in his notebook.
Jong-seok looked at the note for a moment.
'I'll have to carry my writing equipment wherever I go.’
It was better to know the experience right away than to talk to Kang Seung-yoon with a note.
Jong-seok nodded while looking at the note for a moment.
'Yes, money is good, but it's also the same to lose friendship with the elders of the literary circle.'
A muttered into the inside, the sheet covered the note.
'The Royal Household Flag came to me for a while. Let's think of it as a good connection. Friendship is not something you can buy with money. And what little money is 100 million?'
Jong-seok, who organized his thoughts, returned to Kang Seung-yoon.
"I'll hand it over to the museum."
"That's a good idea. I'll take good care of it at the museum."
Kang Seung-yoon reached out his hand with the horse.
Jong-seok held the hand together and said, stealthily.
"Then when will the deposit be made?”
"I think I'll take the Royal Family Medal to the museum, make sure it's authentic, and then make the deposit."
"Do I have to re-check the original?”
"It looks like the original to me, but I need to check it out."
"I see."
"And can you explain to me how you came to have the Royal Knights?"
"That's..."
When Jong-seok was about to speak, one of the members of Moon Bang-woo raised his hand.
"Wait a minute..."
Then the member took Jong-seok out of the door.
"What's wrong?"
An adult said, looking at Jong-seok wondering.
"Do you have coins?"
"A coin?"
I searched my pocket and found a 500 won bill. The adult nodded when he took it out.
"Do you want to hire me as a lawyer?"
"Ah!"
His words reminded me of the business card he had received from Jong-seok.
lawyer Hong Suk
Former Joan Song Partner Lawyer
a former chief prosecutor of the Seoul Public Prosecutors' Office.
"Do I have to appoint you as a lawyer?"
"I do it just in case."
I don't know how I got the royal medal, but I was going to listen to it and help if there was any problem.
"Then why coins?"
"Where is a lawyer who works without pay?"
"Five hundred won?"
"It's the lawyer who decides the pay."
Hong Seok's horse cost Jongseok 500 won Jongseok.
"It's been repaired. From now on, Lee Jong-seok is the client of that Hong-seok, and my conversations are protected under the law of attorney."
Hong Seok, who explained it like a drama with a lawyer, asked.
"Let's start with how we got the Royal Medal."
When asked by Hong Seok, Jongseok talked about how he gained the Royal Medal.
Hong-seok, who heard Jong-seok's story, nodded after a while.
"It could be a problem if the original owner came forward, but... I don't think it's a problem because I went all the way to the junk shop."
"So there's no problem?”
"Even if there is a problem, I think I can solve it if there is a problem."
"I see."
"Go in."
Hong Seok went inside first and said to Kang Seung-yoon.
"I'm Hong Seok, acting as Mr. Lee Jong Seok's legal representative."
"Employee Hong-seok?"
If you think about your age, it's not an age that's strange to be called an old man.
However, Kang Seung-yoon described Hong Seok as an inspiration because he was a prosecutor.
Please contact us for further legal issues. I'll deal with tax and legal issues."
"Okay."
When Hong Seok took out a business card to Kang Seung-yoon, Kang Seung-yoon also handed him his business card.
Then Kang Seung-yoon gave Jong-seok a business card.
"If you need to come to the National Museum, please contact me. I'll show you around the museum."
"Thank you."
Hong-seok said, looking at Jong-seok, who took his business card and put it in his arms.
"I'll take care of the issue of disposing of the Royal Order and the tax."
"Yes."
When Kang Seung-yoon carefully put the Wang family discipline in his bag, the principal said.
"It's too late to eat. Now! Let's have a meal."
People sat down at the principal's words. Won Seung-hwan also sat down and said to Kang Seung-yoon.
"Come and have a meal and go."
At Won's words, Kang Seung-yoon shook his head with a smile.
"If you eat at a restaurant like this these days, you have to take off your clothes right away."
"Ah! Is that so?"
"But it's too much for me to pay for it, so I'll do it next time."
"Then do it."
Kang Seung-yoon, who bowed his head to say "Enjoy your meal," soon went out with the girl.
Soon after, the ladies of the transport boat began to put the food on the table.
He smiled young on Jong-seok's face.
'It looks delicious.'
Smiling Jong-seok began to eat the food.
'As expected, it's delicious.’
Jong-seok, who was eating food with a bright smile, saw a perilla leaf pickle.
'Where?'
If there was a problem with the perilla leaf pickle I ate before, it wouldn't be a problem now... Jongseok picked up the pickled perilla leaves and put them in his mouth.
'It's... delicious.'
The pickled perilla leaves, which are not salty and have a slightly bitter taste, refreshed the mouth.
A smile began to fill Jong-seok's face, who ate a piece of meat.
'The transport boat is a good place.'
