Chapter 25 “If you're not going to buy something, don't hang around for no reason. Everyone's on edge because business is so bad.” Once they realized Hayoon was not a customer, one of the merchants spoke bluntly. “Alright, everyone, let's break up. Hurry and get back to your stalls.” “Geez, I wasted my time for nothing.” “If I'd known this would happen, I would've slept a little longer.” The merchants scattered and disappeared as if they had never gathered in the…-

Chapter 24 “Each one of us gets a market?” At the unexpected statement, everyone looked at one another with bewildered expressions. Im Sang-ok calmly continued his explanation. “Each haengsu will take charge of one market and help the merchants there. After all, there’s no particular point in everyone going around together, is there?” “That is true…” It was exactly as he said. In truth, not much would change just because the haengsu stepped in.

Chapter 23 “My head…….” Her head felt like it was splitting apart. The ceiling was spinning around and around. Hayoon lay there blankly for a long time before she finally managed to sit up. “Ugh…….” Then, instinctively, she reached out, grabbed the glass of water on the table, and drank it. Gulp, gulp. Only after drinking the water did she finally feel like she could live again. “Phew.” Hayoon rubbed her forehead and muttered. “How did I get…

Chapter 22 “……Hey, Im Ha-seong!” Song Do-hyeon, who had ended up holding Ha-yoon in his arms, shouted urgently. “Wake up! Im Ha-seong! What the hell are you doing all of a sudden?” Smack! Smack! Song Do-hyeon slapped Ha-yoon on the cheeks, but Ha-yoon, completely unconscious, showed no sign of waking up. “Mmm…….” Instead, Ha-yoon buried her face deeper into Song Do-hyeon’s chest. “What in the world is going on……!” Song Do-hyeon looked down at…

Chapter 21 Cheongunru (靑雲樓). At Cheongunru, said to be the most splendid establishment in Uiju, the melodies of the gayageum and the sweet laughter of the gisaengs flowed through the air. Rare foods and expensive liquor that were difficult to encounter normally had been laid out in abundance. “Hahaha! So, do you know what this fellow said then?” “What did he say?” The gisaengs showed curiosity at Han Seong-deok’s words. “Ah.” After a moment, he cleared…

Chapter 20 That night. At dinner time. Mansang, the largest merchant guild in Joseon, was like a logistics center that operated day and night. Because of this, about ten haengsu, including Hayoon, lived here and took care of their meals and lodging. The haengsu who had families went home after sunset. Because of that, the ones who remained during dinner were naturally the young haengsu around Hayoon's age. “Ah, my blood sugar is dropping.” Hayoon entered the dining hall while holding…

Chapter 19 “Depending on your answer, you will be held responsible.” “……!” The usually kind expression on Im Sang-ok’s face became stiff and cold. Only a moment ago, this had been a place filled with casual talk and jokes. Someone had joked with Ha-yoon, while someone else had boasted about his business. But things were different now. When Im Sang-ok showed his anger, everyone held their breath and quietly watched his mood. Even Ha-yoon, who usually never felt…

Chapter 18 “W-Wait, one hundred boxes? Are you serious?” Ha-yoon asked hesitantly. “That is correct. All of them.” Madam Choi’s eyes were firm. “Did you not say that there were only one hundred boxes?” “Yes, that is true, but…” “Then it would be right for me to buy them all before the other magistrates do, would it not?” What Madam Choi was worried about was other people possessing the same item as her. When a person has more money than they know…

Chapter 17 Deep inside the main house. The main house was filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance, and expensive items were piled up everywhere. A cabinet decorated with mother-of-pearl lacquer. A table made of rosewood. Calligraphy works that appeared to have been written by a famous master. There was not a single item that did not look luxurious. Even the teacup Hayoon was drinking from had delicate craftsmanship carved into it. Slurp. Hayoon took a sip from the teacup…

Chapter 16 It was just as Ha-yoon finished his deal with Carpenter Hwang and was coming down with light steps. “Uh?” “What?” As Ha-yoon turned the corner of the alley, he happened to run into Song Do-hyeon, who was walking down the street. Stop! The two men recognized each other and stopped at the same time. Song Do-hyeon was holding a thick bundle of ledgers in his hands, while Ha-yoon was carrying a cloth bundle containing dried yellow croaker. Song Do-hyeon…
