Jong-seok, who was talking while looking at the writings written by members of Moon Bang-woo, slowly opened his mouth with his bag.

"There's something I'd like you to look over there."

At Jong-seok's words, the principal smiled and said.

"You must have written."

"Yes, go ahead and get it out. I wonder what you've been writing.”

Jong-seok opened his bag to the elders and said, taking out the royal Household Warrior in a cloth.

"I didn't write it, but... It's a book that I studied. I think we should sell it."

"Do you sell?"

Jong-seok nodded as the principal looked puzzled.

"My acquaintance is sick and needs some hospital bills."

At Jong-seok's words, the principal opened his mouth while looking at him.

"Let's take a look at the book you brought."

Jong-seok slowly unwrapped the cloth at the principal's words.

The principal, who saw a book that read the Royal Household Flag, smelled it while looking at it.

"Hmm... I think it's more than two hundred years."

Then the principal looked at the girl.

"Will you bring me some cotton gloves if you have them?"

"Okay."

The lady went out and brought her cotton gloves.

The principal, wearing cotton gloves, handed over the paper.

"Hmm... that's Wang Mung's handwriting."

As he had Wang Mun-kyeong's book in the principal's office, I recognized the handwriting of Wang Ga-hoon.

"I think it's the original, written by Wang Moon-kyung."

When the principal handed over the paper to Jong-seok's words, other members of the literary circle looked at the book with curious eyes.

"I think Wang's handwriting is certainly elegant and beautiful.”

"Are you seeing only handwriting in your eyes and not the beauty and sincerity of this handwriting?"

Moon Jae-chul looked at his friends as if he was pathetic and looked at the book.

"Isn't it like seeing your first love that makes your heart flutter just by looking at it?”

"Jae-chul, this guy loves you even when he's older.”

"So you've been married three times."

Moon Jae-chul frowned at his friends' words.

"It's butterfly life to chase flowers..."

Moon Jae-chul, with a small tongue, looked at the principal.

"What do you do without turning it over?"

"Okay."

Jong-seok was a little nervous when the principal and Moon Bang-woo adults read the book admiringly.

It's a good review, but... What's the price?’

But it was hard to ask about the price easily. It was hard to ask openly because the price was about money.

An adult took out his cell phone when they were talking while reading a book.

Then he called somewhere and said soon.

"It's me."

Isn't that Vice Minister Won?

Adults went straight into the subject's greeting.

"Do you happen to know the Royal Household Flag?"

Royal Household Warrior?

Jong-seok looked at the old man on the phone.

"You said you were vice minister of culture and sports before. Did you say Won Seung-hwan?’

When I was looking at Won Seung-hwan, a former vice culture and sports minister and now an adviser to a company, he slightly blocked his phone and said,

"I thought you might be wondering if it was a true story, so I called my friend to check it out."

"Can he confirm?”

"I'm an old book expert I knew when I was in the Ministry of Culture and Sports."

"I'll take care of it."

Won Seung-hwan nodded at Jong-seok's words and continued the call.

"I have a book that seems to have been written by Wang Mun-kyeong, a writer of the Blue House, so could you please check the original?"

Wang Mungyeong's Royal Household Warrior? Where are you now?

Wang Moon-kyung's voice turned a little excited, as if she knew Wang's name.

"It's a transit stop."

I'll go now.

Won Seung-hwan, who boiled the phone, said.

"He's coming."

"Is he familiar with ancient books?"

"I'm in charge of ancient books at the National Museum."

And when I was watching Wang's performance again, Won Seung-hwan's cell phone rang.

"Have you started?"

It's departing now. Before that, I'm calling to explain it to you because I thought you might be curious about Wang Ga-hoon.

"Have you noticed in the meantime?"

I think I need to know what the Royal Household Warrior is to confirm whether it's a forgery or an original copy. There is a record of Wang Ga-hoon coming to Korea from China during Japanese colonial era.

"When Japanese colonial era?"

As you may know, the independence activists of the Provisional Government traded cultural assets to raise funds for the military.

In order to raise funds, the Independence Army traded cultural assets, which are national treasures and treasures, although it knew they were illegal and bad.

Small and easy-to-move cultural assets were easy to make into military funds.

And Joseon's rich people, who were forced to be aware of the eyes of Japanese police, also preferred cultural assets.

Even if they get caught, they didn't know it was an independent military, and they can just say that they gave money to buy the treasure.

Spending huge sums of money without sources could have been suspected even if it wanted to fund the independent forces.

For example, Kim Yong-hwan, who was considered one of the three most influential figures in the Joseon Dynasty, spent all of his 20 billion won fortune on gambling.

But what was later known was the 20 billion won fund for the independence movement disguised as gambling.

In order to avoid the Japanese eye, he disguised himself as a pariah and a hard worker, disposed of his property and sent it to the military.

So rich people who campaign for independence preferred cultural assets. If you get caught in Japan, it's proof that you spent money on goods.

In addition, the independent forces brought Chinese cultural assets into Joseon and traded them.

It was a secret how they were obtained and brought in, but anyways, Wang Ga-hoon was included in the list.

The principal, who heard the explanation, opened his mouth while watching the Royal Household Warrior.

"Do you think this book could be the book?"

I have nothing to say before I see it for myself.

"Then how much do you think the original would cost?

If it's the original... Don't you think it should be in a national museum?

"I can't blame you for not being the owner of this book.”

Is the owner of the book there, too?

"There you are."

I'll be there in twenty minutes.

Won Seung-hwan, who made a phone call with it, talked about the book while looking at Jong-seok.

"Fund for the independence movement?"

"I see."

"Did he mention the price?”

I heard Won asked for the price.

"I didn't say anything about the price, but wouldn't the original go out?"

"I see."

Jong-seok was writing a royal medal on a piece of paper. He is writing at the request of members of Moon Bang-woo, who asked him to write and show Wang Ga-hoon's writing.

"Just watching you write makes me feel like I'm really studying."

Members of Moon Bang-woo nodded at Moon Jae-chul's words.

Dropping!

When the members of the Moon Bang-woo were reading Jong-seok's writing, the door opened and a middle-aged man and a woman came in.

"Have you come?"

Won Seung-hwan pretended to know, but a middle-aged man bowed his head.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, sir."

"When have you retired and are you still a vice-minister?"

Then Won Seung-hwan pointed to middle-aged people to Moon Bang-woo members.

"It's Director Kang Seung-yoon in the National Museum."

"My name is Kang Seung-yoon."

Kang Seung-yoon greeted the members of Moon Bang-woo. Kang Seung-yoon was also polite as if he knew who the members of Moon Bang-woo were.

Then Kang Seung-yoon slowly turned his head to Won Seung-hwan.

"What about the Royal Knights?"

"This way."

When Won pointed to the book in front of him, Kang swallowed his saliva and looked at the lady who came with him.

Then she put the briefcase you brought on the table and opened it.

Click!

Inside the bag were items such as white gloves, magnifying glasses and tweezers.

Kang Seung-yoon, wearing gloves and holding a magnifying glass, began carefully examining the royal family's discipline.

Then said Kang Seung-yoon.

"Photo."

At Kang Seung-yoon's words, the lady put out a file containing a photo from her bag.

Kang Seung-yoon, who opened the file and lined up the photos, began to compare them with the Wang family motto.

Jong-seok snuck out his head at the sight and looked at the pictures.

The picture was stamped with the letters of the book.

'It's the same handwriting as the Royal family motto.’

When Jong-seok recognized the handwriting on the picture, Kang Seung-yoon said to Won.

"I'll have to find out more about the details..."

Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth after a moment's silence.

"It looks like a true story."

"Is it the original?"

When asked by Won Seung-hwan, Kang Seung-yoon said, looking at Wang's medal.

"As I just said, I'm going to have to do some research on the original, but it seems to me it's the original."

"Then how much would the price range be?"

At Won Seung-hwan's words, Kang Seung-yoon glanced at the members of Moon Bang-woo and said,

"Who is the owner of this book?”

When asked by Kang Seung-yoon, Jong-seok raised his hand.

"It's me."

Kang Seung-yoon looked at Jong-seok's words with a curious look at him.

"You the owner of this book?"

"Yes."

"How did you get this book?”

"Is that important? I'm curious about the price.”

"If you're on the wrong path, wouldn't you have a problem?”

"It's not the wrong path, so you don't have to worry. So how much will it cost?"

Words came out of Jong-seok's mouth. And Jong-seok was a little surprised by it.

It's a word that comes from his own mouth, but he didn't know he would talk about money so easily.

'Is it a merchant's trade experience?'

What you get from the merchant experience is an eye and a deal. Perhaps it was the merchant's trading experience that came out through Jong-seok's mouth now.

At Jong-seok's words, Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth while looking at him.

"How much do you want?"

Kang Seung-yoon wanted to buy this royal medal. Of course, it was not a personal possession, but a willingness to buy it for a museum.

So I wanted to know first how much Jong-seok, who still looks young, wants.

If the price is lower than you think, you can buy it right away, and if you call it ridiculously high, you can lower the price with professional knowledge.

"How much can you give me?”

"Well."

Kang Seung-yoon opened his mouth while watching Wang's martial arts.

"Wang Mungyeong is not a well-known writer in our country..."

"Instead, it is well known in China."

"That's... it is."

"If you're going to sell it at this time of the year, there's no rule that you should sell it only in our country. If you're famous in China, you can sell it to China."

Kang Seung-yoon wheezed Jong-seok's words.

Look at him.’

Kang Seung-yoon, who was watching Jongseok for a while, opened his mouth.

"I don't know how much you know about ancient books..."

"Ah!"

Kang Seung-yoon exclaimed, "I just remembered Jong-seok."

"I heard that Seung-hwan is an expert on ancient books."

"Right."

"Then you must have some knowledge of Chinese characters."

"That's true."

"What do you think of this article?"

Pointed to the royal family motto written on the paper with the horse.

At Jong-seok's words, Kang Seung-yoon looked at the royal medal written on the paper.

"Hmm... well-written is..."

He was trying to say that it was a well-written article, but he spoke up because he thought the writer would be a member of Moon Bang-woo.

"Really?"

Kang Seung-yoon, who nodded to Jong-seok's question, looked closely at the writing.

"I think I just wrote it, but the elegant handwriting really did a good job of keeping Wang's handwriting alive. Also, the addition of lines is very good. I don't think it'll be as good as it was written by Wang Moon-kyung."

It was a bit exaggerated, but it was certainly well written by Kang Seung-yoon.

He stood with the book in front of him, but it is not easy to write so well.

"I've heard that Moon Bang-woo's calligraphy is great, but I didn't know it was this good. Who wrote it?"

Adults looked at Jong-seok at Kang Seung-yoon's words. Kang Seung-yoon looked at Jong-seok in wonder.

In response to that gaze, Jong-seok wrote his name on an empty sheet of paper where he raised his brush.

Kang Seung-yoon's face was surprised at Jong-seok writing his name.

'This kid wrote these things?’

The name written by Jong-seok contained Wang Mun-gyeong's handwriting.

Jong-seok nodded small, looking at Kang Seung-yoon's surprised face.

'At this rate, you know how much I know about calligraphy.’

He showed himself to Kang Seung-yoon that he knew calligraphy well.

I know well about calligraphy.
