Palseonchon’s night market is quite famous in the empire.

First of all, Changunsan itself, where Palseonchon is located, is not only a famous place visited by many beginners of martial arts or Taoist followers, but it is also the only village where people who want to receive the Dharma treasures that can be obtained after donating a certain amount of money to Changungwan can stay. It was.

Although the treasures available at Changwoon Pavilion are said to have been created by imitating the Eight Immortals of Taoism, the fact that they were made by spiritual Taoists themselves was enough to shake people’s hearts.

Even though everyone knows that if you do not do proper installation work, you will not be able to receive the full effect of the law.

Even so, people who wanted to rely on the name of Palseon visited Changunsan Mountain and stayed at Palseon Village to obtain the Dharma Treasure or to pray to Palseon.

For that reason, many people gathered in Palseonchon, which can be said to be small compared to Yangwiseong.

It is natural that money gathers where people gather.

Therefore, merchants targeting people always set up in the night market of Palseonchon.

There were merchants all over the streets selling weapons and accessories for the first time martial artists.

In addition, there were merchants who tried to create a festive atmosphere by displaying splendor by lighting colored lanterns to attract the attention of non-Murim people.

And many people who were attracted by them visited the night market.

When Sayun arrived at the crowded market street, her eyes widened.

They seemed to be busy looking around at stalls open here and there in the alleys and streets, shops soliciting customers, and things like giants breaking their chains and monkeys with tricks to sell unproven drugs.

“Sayun. And then I get lost.”

As if to wake her up, Hongryeon calmly said something.

Sayoon, who finally came to her senses, nodded and naturally took Hongryeon’s hand.

Although there were a lot of people, it seemed like they were worried that they might get lost in the splendor of the shops.

“Can I buy gifts for my teacher and sisters-in-law here?”

Sayoon said worriedly as she carefully put her hand into the bag in her arms.

It looks like he’s planning to use the eunja I sent him this time.

“Of course, I saved the money to buy sweets from the store in Seomhwachon!”

“Haha. so? But I can give you just the right amount. Since you came with me this time, I have to repay you. Of course, you will pay the escort fee separately.”

“No… He also paid for my travel expenses.”

“Don’t worry about that. Nakil Sword. Will you accept it?”

“Umm… well. If you feel comfortable giving what you have to give and receiving what you will receive. Honestly, we received so much that I think it’s safe to say we just did this.”

It sounds absurd.

I just laughed at her weak answer, and in the end Hongryeon just smiled back.

“Then, shall we walk around and take a look? If there’s anything you want to eat, don’t feel pressured and tell me. Most of the things sold at the night market are not that expensive.”

It’s not a lie, it’s real.

In general, it’s all things that can be done for a few pennies.

Of course, if you feel like you don’t have enough after eating it all, you can go back to the guesthouse and eat, so there’s no burden.

“Uh… yes!”

Sayun, who was hesitant, smiled at my gaze and nodded energetically.

nice. That’s how it should be.

“Nakil Sword. You too.”

“Hehe. Okay.”

Although there were a lot of people, Hongryeon and Sayoon did not bump into them or get blocked.

When I walk using Hongseong Shingong’s walking method, I just avoid this.

“Hehe. Isn’t this good training?”

“Well, I can’t say no.”

It’s just as Hongryeon said.

When she walked halfway, she changed her walking method as if she was deliberately showing off, instead of Hongseong Shingong’s walking method.

Just by looking at it and following it, however clumsily, the number of times I bump into something or get stuck has decreased.

“Does Cai know Tai Chi?”

“It’s not perfect, but I know the path and route. That’s enough to teach you. Hehehe. How much do you think I fought with Chaejin?”

Well, that’s true too.

If you don’t know martial arts, you’re right.

Since it is the martial arts of a family rival, of course he must have done some study to prepare.

Anyway, as we followed her steps and got inside, the number of people decreased.

Only when they reached a suitable place to walk did Hongryeon let go of Sayun’s hand.

“When you get back, you should practice your footwork more.”

“U. Yes.”

Hongryeon lightly scolded him for bumping into him a few times on the way.

The sight wasn’t particularly annoying or strange.

Hongryeon’s voice was closer to advice as a leader rather than harsh words.

“Now. Well then, shall we try eating something here? ah. There are mooncakes over there. Sayoon. Do you like mooncakes?”

A type of snack baked with red beans and chestnuts inside flour dough.

I looked at it and asked, but there didn’t seem to be any need for an answer.

Because Sayun’s eyes were shining without realizing it. He must have realized that too, so he hurriedly controlled his expression, but since he had already caught it, he bought three and gave them away one by one.

“It’s better to eat it while it’s warm.”

“Uh. Thank you.”

“Phew. This is delicious.”

It looks like Hongryeon has already quickly given up and decided to enjoy it.

Unlike Sayun, who hesitates, the sight of her holding a mooncake in both hands and squeezing it does not match her seemingly arrogant appearance.

At that difference, I laughed without realizing it, and Hongryeon grumbled with a slightly red face.

“Uh, it can’t be helped. I also like mooncakes.”

“I’m not blaming you, so please don’t do that.”

And I felt like I knew Hongryeon’s feelings.

Sayoon hesitated and noticed that he ate it first.

At the very least, to make the ambassador think that this is okay.

I looked at Hongryeon with happy eyes, and she looked embarrassed and munched on the moon cake again.

“Yum…”

Then I took a bite.

Sayun took a big bite of the mooncake and her eyes sparkled. I think I quite liked it.

“Now. Then, shall we go eat something else?”

Of course, I couldn’t just eat after coming this far.

When you come to Palseon Village’s night market in Cheonsangmyeongwol, you often find items that are hard to find.

Of course, I had to be lucky.

Still, you never know.

We walked calmly, looking around, and when we found some snacks to eat, we bought them and shared them.

It’s the first time I’ve felt peace in a long time.

Although it was crowded with people.

“Oh.”

At that time, Hongryeon stopped walking. What caught her eye were thread, fabric, and needles. And it was a store that sold things like dolls.

Is it because there are not only ordinary threads, but also threads and fabrics from all over the empire?

Hongryeon was amazed and couldn’t take her eyes off that area.

“Want to take a look?”

“Huh? Oh, no. let’s go. I’m the only one interested in things like that…”

“Then I guess you’ll just watch for a moment. Sayoon and I will go to the store in front of us.”

“Uh… over there.”

Sayoon said she wanted to buy gifts for her sisters-in-law, and the gift she had in mind when she came here was scented candles.

Hongseongmun is located on Hongseong Mountain, where a thousand plum blossoms are always in bloom, so you can always enjoy the scent of a thousand plum blossoms.

But wouldn’t it be boring to smell the same scent for a long time?

So, I want to buy another scented candle with a good scent.

If so, you should buy it.

“Because it won’t take long. If we are next to each other, it will be Nakil Sword. You can’t see clearly either, can you?”

“Uh… Well, that’s right. Then wait… can I ask you a favor?”

Hongryeon said sorry, and I shook my head.

There are a lot of things to be sorry about.

***

What a strangely considerate person.

Hongryeon thought as she watched Yuwol entering the store on the other side with Sayun.

It feels good to see that person pretending not to be like that but looking at it carefully.

Anyway, if you got the time thanks to his consideration, shouldn’t you make a choice quickly?

Right now, I want to add more threads for new clothes, as well as other sister-in-law’s clothes.

I also want to see some good thread so that I can make clothes for Yuwol later.

Also, the prices at this store were cheaper than I expected, so I thought it would be better to buy it here if I can.

“Why is it actually so cheap here? Isn’t this a defective product?”

“What is a defective product? Since it is from a different region, it is not used often here.”

In other words, it means inventory clearance.

If so, there was no problem. Hongryeon smiled and put things like thread and needles into the basket.

Is this okay?

“Oh my. My new wife only buys good things. I have very good eyes. How about Cheonghongjeoksa Temple? That guy from earlier. It looked good and dependable. Isn’t it your husband? From the looks of it, the girl he was taking with him seemed to be his daughter. This also means that if you make clothes for your family, you will be healthy…”

“Ah. No, we are.”

“If you don’t like Cheonghongjeoksa Temple, how about this? If men make clothes with fabric and thread, they won’t look that good.”

“Oh, oh.”

“Or how about this? It’s called Hwiseongsa (輝聖絲)… If you embroidery with this, the color can’t be that beautiful.”

Hwiseongsa Temple was also known to Hongryeon. If you embroider with the thread that can only be obtained from Hwisan silkworms that grow by eating only the precious starlight mulberry leaves, as the hostess said, the color will be really beautiful, as if you were embroidering a star.

The problem is that handling that thread is not easy.

It is weaker than other threads, so if you apply even a little force, it may break.

In other words, in order to use that thread properly, you must either have top-notch embroidery skills or be able to embroider while protecting the thread using your inner strength.

It was a thread that only a very small number of those interested in handicrafts in the Murim League could handle.

Still, if you embroider it beautifully with that thread as the owner said, your clothes will receive special blessings. If you use it well, you can make something really good.

If you use it well.

“Tsk.”

The owner said that she had not found anyone who could use it well, so she just kept it in storage.

In that case, it can be considered as a stock, but Hongryeon looked at Wheeseongsa Temple and shook her head.

It’s a good thing, but it’s expensive.

“Are you asking your husband to buy it for you? It looked like he had some money. ah. My new wife really doesn’t know. Wouldn’t it be perfect if I embroidered this and gave it to my husband, or if I made him clothes? If you make it very well, do you think they will like it because it was worth the money? Normally, when men go to work wearing clothes made for them by their wives, they brag about it.”

“Am I not your husband?”

“No? They seemed to get along so well that I thought they were like that.”

They seem to get along so well.

The hostess’s words remained in my heart.

“Anyway… Then, shall we just calculate these?”

Hongryeon thought about it and nodded. and.

“Did you buy everything?”

“Surprise.”

While the store owner was packing food inside, Yuwol and Sayun approached. Hongryeon smiled when she saw the scented candles in their hands.

“I guess I only bought good things. I can already feel the scent.”

“Hehe. The guest owner knows a lot about scented candles.”

“What do you not know?”

“I know only what I know. Rather… isn’t this Hwiseongsa Temple? They say you can make good things by embroidering with this.”

“…Do you know this too?”

“If you use it well, you can receive special protection. But why are you just watching? I think you can handle that with your dexterity.”

“Ahaha…and the price too.”

Hongryeon remembered the words of the hostess earlier.

husband.

New house.

Goes well.

For no reason, my heart started pounding and my face got hot.

“Owner. Please give me this too.”

“Gasp!”

Before Hongryeon, who was surprised, could stop her, the hostess smiled sinisterly.

With a smile, it was as if the two of them were in such a relationship, so why would they cheat?

I should tell him it’s a misunderstanding, but my lips won’t move.

So in the end, all she can say is one word.

“Well… thank you.”

“Nothing to say. If you really appreciate it.”

Yuwol casually pointed to Hwiseongsa Temple.

“Please make something with that. If it’s made by Nakilgeom, something good will come out.”

Hongryeon closed her eyes.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth, as if he had decided on something.

“Okay. I will give you a gift.”

Then, I opened my eyes and looked straight at him.

“The best work.”
