[ "Tomorrow There Will Be Clear Skies" by Estelle ]

♫ Chasing down the moon and stars one by one, whistling and urging my horse into the west wind when the north is snowy ♫

♫ Elatedly using my sword, to remove and leave behind the three thousand worries like hairs from my head ♫

♫ A mountain that touches the sky and a river, meeting by chance once in the secular world ♫

♫ Love and hate enhance the journey, moving forward over time ♫

♫ Drifting through clouds like a lonely wild goose on an unfurled painted scroll ♫

♫ How much more dazzling the blue dome of heaven is as a pair! ♫

♫ My worldly heart is focused upon a pot of wine and a small fire ♫

♫ Tomorrow there will be clear skies, laughter and sorrow surging like a gathering storm ♫

♫ This life, though free and unfettered, is also shared together ♫

♫ Gratitude and grudges both target me, spellbound as though in a dream ♫

♫ Tomorrow there will be clear skies, in the twinkling of an eye, as gentle and tender as in the past ♫

♫ Rushing toward that rainbow's end... ♫

♫ to embrace each other ♫

♫ Bevies of tea girls come in to play with elder brothers and old officials who love to eat spicy food ♫

♫ Clamoring like startled crows, grabbing at Imperial troops, moving to and fro with laughter ♫

♫ Heads like empty gourds, disobediently getting up at midnight to sweep the courtyard ♫

♫ Oh what a nice little drinking house, blessedly sheltering one's excesses... ♫

♫ drink up! ♫

[ Jiu Liu Overlord ]

[ Episode 18 ]

Everyone, today is the day New Silk Road and the Dragon Bamboo Gang are joined together to become the Qinglong Enterprise.

I will toast this cup to Chief Long first.

Let's just forget about the sentiments of loyalty, self-sacrifice and whatnot. I'm not that just or righteous.

All things are profitable. If it profits my brothers, then I will do it.

Today is the day our two factions become one family.

Let's toast to being a family today!

- That's right, that's right! - Let's drink, let's drink! - Here, here, here. Let's drink. - That's right, that's right!

- Bottoms up, bottoms up. - Here. - Let's drink! - Here!

- Here, here. - Bottoms up, bottoms up! - We're a family now! One family!

Bottoms up!

"One family"?

Why have I been left out?

Second Master prepared this "Daughter Red" wine for everyone to drink. (T/N nu'er hong)

Here, I'll drink this first cup in full

to salute the hardship in starting a business.

Under a rainstorm in the month of May,

I waited to distribute money to the first group of clothes-making workers.

This second cup

is to toast myself...

just a person made of iron...

who started up a business with her bare hands with this man whose heart is hard as iron.

Sure, I'll drink with you.

Miss!

Why aren't you chasing her yet? She was talking about you.

Your partner who endured hardship to start a business with you got upset and left. You should hurry and chase her!

No affection at all? How can I count on you to collaborate with us!

Xian'er.

Xian'er.

Xian'er.

You didn't discuss with me about such an important matter.

Do you still see me as the second-in-command?

The marital manual project has been forced onto me.

The collaboration of Qinglong Enterprise is to meet this temporary emergency.

The marital manual is for today.

Maybe there'll be another manual tomorrow?

You've always been cautious in business deals.

Why are you so reckless this time?

I think you like that Long Aoyi.

I need her help to find a painter.

Besides, I'm already the thorn in the eye of the provincial governor,

and it's made your relationship with him tense.

I'm afraid that you'll draw the fire to yourself. (T/N end up drawing trouble to herself)

Draw the fire to myself? All these years,

I stayed by your side to grow the business bigger and bigger,

but you treat me as an outsider.

Two years ago, this place was still a forest.

Under a gardenia tree, we planned the future.

This purse contains the fallen petals from that gardenia tree.

I often take them out to look.

I would think about the future,

think about how you will see these later,

and will never forget how we began.

But right now, you've been entangled endlessly with a lowly female hoodlum.

You want to drive me out.

Xian'er, we've always discussed things calmly.

Why is it that whenever Long Aoyi is mentioned, you simply won't let it go?

Is it because you don't trust my decisions,

or have we already lost the tacit agreement that we've had for many years?

I've always considered you like my real sister. Right now, the urgent problem is to make the marital manual.

Supervisory Official, these are the best ones that I selected.

What do you think?

This... is absolutely unacceptable!

Tell us more.

These drafts absolutely do not meet the requirements of national conduct.

They not only damage the folk customs in our Tang dynasty,

they also totally corrupt our national morals!

The Court has a serious standard for the marital manual.

It shouldn't ruin the morals, and it must be graceful!

As mentioned in the Book of Han, (T/N Han Dynasty history from 111 CE by Ban Gu and his sister Ban Zhao)

"A painting was hung about a man and a woman. Wine was prepared for viewers to drink

and look up at the painting."

Senior, you mean we need to get models?

This supervisory official is too difficult to please.

We will have to think of better ideas in this aspect.

Shadow play! It has the same result as what you just said.

That's right. Shadow play uses puppets made of sheepskin.

- We can use real people. - But...

Find a young woman and a man to demonstrate?

Isn't that Wuyun Pavilion?

Right, Wuyun Pavilion it is.

Find a few good-looking ones as the models.

You're not selecting anymore?

How can I? Look at them.

Everyone is pushing back with excuses.

Let me say this.

Anyone that Master Xu wants

is not allowed to refuse.

Don't set your sights on me. I still need to arrange production.

Production still has to wait for design to come up with a drawing first.

How is my posture? Is it good?

Be more relaxed.

It's just the silhouette, but you still need to pay attention to your posture.

- Yes. - Your face shouldn't be too stern.

Right, right, right. Your back... straighten up.

How about this?

No, you can't be too flirty!

Be more restrained. Find the kind of feeling

when you want to accept, but pretend to refuse.

What exactly do you want?

Are you suffering?

Can you not stand there like a wooden log?

Dull expression, stiff limbs.

What, are you killing someone?

Why are you so unreasonable?

You told me how to position myself, that's what I did.

Why are you still unsatisfied?

How can it be that when a man and a woman are in love,

they look like that when they are enjoying each other?

What is it like when they are enjoying each other?

Have you never liked anyone since you were a child?

Just imagine someone that you like is standing in front of you,

looking at you with eyes full of ardor.

Just like when you see Du Xiaoxian?

What? Du Xiaoxian?

Is your master really stupid or just pretending?

He doesn't understand it yet?

What's going on?

He chased after Du Xiaoxian that day,

and also that day he arranged to meet my Miss at the teahouse.

Isn't he standing on two boats? (T/N dating two women at once)

That does sound outrageous.

This is really when a mountain tiger gets trapped on the plains and is bullied by a dog!

Who are you calling the dog?

Do you dare say that again?

Good, that's right, just like that!

Stay there...

Stay in this position. I'm going to draw it!

"She displayed excellent words and spoke answering," ("The Song of the Goddess" by Warring States poet Song Yu, as translated by Ed Erkes.)

"emitting a sweet smell like orchids." (T/N It speaks of a sexual encounter between a goddess and a mortal, King Huai of Chu.)

"In spiritual association we thereby held intercourse;"

"her heart was mild and quiet, because she was pleased."

♫ In my youth, I secretly worshipped the martial figures ♫

♫ Leaving worldly affairs, one can't help having grudges, or life or death ♫

Aoyi! Aoyi!

- Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao, why are you here? - Aoyi! - Aoyi is...

♫ Listening ears, months later hear me pine with inhuman cries ♫

♫ Alone, fanning oneself by the city gates, standing by the walls,♫

Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao, we are just playing a game today. ♫ Waiting in line all morning, winning and losing without a sound. ♫

Don't be upset. ♫ You and I squandered this life, ♫

Why don't you go upstairs to drink some tea? ♫ writing down only fragments of memories ♫

No need for tea. I just remembered that I have something to take care of.

I'll take my leave first.

♫ It was a time in a dream... gone, without a trace.♫

Miss.

Are you all right?

Why are you here?

I couldn't help but worry about you, so I followed you.

What is there to worry about?

That time, when you ran away from the Dragon Bamboo Gang,

I watched you and Master Li from afar, but I didn't know what you talked about.

Yue'er, I don't want to talk about him tonight.

I don't want to go back either. Just walk with me for a while.

Miss, you should put away this purse.

Who allowed you to decide to pick it up?

This purse has been with you for so many years,

you've always carried it with you like a treasure.

I couldn't bear it.

What's contained inside

are just some wilted flower petals.

I was crazy to treat them like treasure.

How about this?

I'll put away this purse for you for now.

Whenever you've thought it through, you can take it back.

As you wish.

[ "Our flavors are moderate, hailing from both the south and the north, and suit both the young and the old" ]

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Hall of Eternal Life, when no one is murmuring in private at night,

we wish to be inseparable birds flying together in the heavens, and be connected branches on earth.

Even heaven and earth may reach an end, but this love will last eternally."

Perhaps they don't need to be staying by each other like regular mortals.

They can still live happily until they're old even though they are gazing at each other from across the Milky Way.

This is probably the reason why this long poem of love can last through generations.

"The Cowherd star is to the west of the Milky Way, and the Weaver star is to the east of the Milky Way."

"They gaze at each other through the millennium. They will meet on the seventh day of the seventh month."

Such a romantic poem passed down through the centuries is full of lies.

I'm the only one who would believe it.

Miss, please don't say this.

Young Master Li is only temporarily fooled by a vixen.

He will definitely regret it.

Don't say this to console me.

Even if he had feelings for me previously,

it's all changed now.

No matter what I do, we can't go back to the way we were.

Yue'er.

Wulin?

It's so late. What is he doing here?

Is it because Prince Zhao is here too?

Your Highness, I bought the last pork knuckle from Knuckle Zhang's place.

Luckily my eyes were sharp, and my hands were quick. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so lucky as to eat it. Here.

I've been eating those plain and boring, but nutritious dishes at the Du Manor.

I've been ruined. This is what I've been hungry for lately.

Come. Let's eat.

But Your Highness, I just saw Yue'er and Miss Du outside when I was at the doorway.

Why are they here?

It's so late at night. Maybe they are fellow desolate souls?

This... I don't know. But since it's so late at night,

it's really not safe for two young ladies outside.

I know what you're thinking.

Go, and ask Miss Du whether she is interested in drinking a cup or two here.

Yes.

Miss Du, please.

Miss Du, please.

I'm bothering Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Since Miss Du is willing to sit down and drink with me, there's no need to be so reserved.

Why don't we put away our usual identities.

I'm not a royal prince, and you're not a wealthy heiress.

We are simply two strangers who met accidentally

and are drinking to while away sorrow.

Miss Du, you have something on your mind?

Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao, aren't you also full of thoughts in your mind?

Fine.

Then the two of us are kindred spirits comforting each other.

"There's wine today, we'll drink until we're drunk. Tomorrow's worries are for tomorrow."

I will respectfully obey then.

Look at how your Miss Du and my prince are sitting together like that,

they look like a handsome pair that's a match made in heaven!

But who would have guessed that their hearts are separately belonging to someone else?

They are both desolate in this night. My heart really aches for them.

Do you think the Old Man in the Moon made a mistake? (T/N ties red strings to link lovers for life, marriages)

I have never seen someone so devoted to love ever since I've grown up!

I now have seen two of them! One is your Miss Du,

the other is our Prince Zhao.

Of course.

Our Miss once told me that

she first saw Master Li when she six years of age

and she developed feelings for him.

Six years old?

Wasn't that their childhood years?

They developed feelings even at that age?

That's right.

But it wasn't the two of them.

It's my Miss.

At that time, my mother took me to a silk store in the northern part of the city to buy new clothes

as a gift for reaching the age of eight. That's when I first met Qingliu.

Sheep, Water, Ghost, Wood,

Gold, Fire, Han.

If that's the case, then Master Li was taken in and adopted by the young couple running the silk store as a child.

Actually, Nanny was the one who brought Qingliu

to Yincheng when he was only a boy.

An unforeseen happenstance was what brought them to the childless Li couple.

They saw how adorable he was, and thus decided to adopt him.

Afterwards, his adoptive parents passed away,

so Nanny brought him up herself.

Later on, Nanny also fostered Yan Bin, so he could keep Qingliu company.

You could say the three of us grew up together.

Qingliu has an eccentric disposition. He does not like making profound friendships with others,

so apart from Yan Bin and I, he does not have that many people he can converse with.

The relationship of starting out as innocent playmates that you and Master Li have

truly leaves one in envy.

How wonderful would it have been if If Miss Long and I could have had a similar opportunity?

Is Miss Long aware of your intentions toward her?

"Faith can move mountains."

I believe I will be able to move Miss Long.

I also believe Master Li and yourself

will stay together for the rest of your lives.

It makes no difference if only the two of us believe it.

We must assist each other from this day forth.

All right! Here, let's drink.

I can see you've been holding it in for a long time. Just tell me what you wish to say.

I... heard that yesterday, Miss Du and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao drank together all night long.

In the end, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao held Miss Du's hand and took her back to the Du Manor.

I only heard this from other people!

I thought it was something important.

You've been holding this in the entire time?

Aren't you worried?

What should I be worried about?

If His Royal Highness Prince Zhao turns out to be a heartless rat, then what should we do?

How has His Royal Highness Prince Zhao been heartless?

Master, you're highly intelligent most of the time, but why are you such a blockhead

when it comes to affairs of the heart?

Everyone knows how serious His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is towards Chief Long,

but now he's taken advantage of the fight that took place between you and Miss Du

and inserted himself in. He should avoid arousing suspicion...

no matter how unintentional his actions were.

You're usually unable to think up any ideas when it comes to taking care of matters in the store.

- But you're so full of thoughts when it comes to relationship matters? - I-

It seems to me you're not interested in your position as Steward anymore.

That's fine. I'll dispatch you to the silkworm farm tomorrow.

P-Please don't. You can't bear to anyway.

Stop worrying about these matters from now on.

I'm going back to work.

Wulin, I want you to make a trip to the tea market tomorrow morning.

We must bring some tea back before we return to Chang'an for Consort Mother to try.

Yes.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Master Li?

You've specially come to greet me. Is there something you'd like to discuss?

Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao, your intelligence certainly surpasses that of others.

I wonder if this one who is beneath you could...

Have a seat.

Please be direct with me, Master Li. I still have pressing matters to attend to.

Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao, do you have any intention of pursuing Xian'er?

Wulin.

What's the matter?

What happened last night?

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending. I've already heard about it.

Then... Although Miss Yue'er is clever and lovely,

all I did was chat with her last night. I never crossed a single line.

Is your head made of wood?

I'm talking about His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and Miss Du. No one asked about you and that Xiao Yue'er!

Tell me, tell me.

No one is allowed to speak rashly and casually of His Royal Highness.

Return to your spot and remain there. Stay far away from me.

- You're the one who told me to come here! - Go away! - I-!

In public, Xian'er is my business partner in the silk store.

In private, she was a childhood sweetheart who I now treat as a virtuous younger sister.

Therefore, I would like Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao to cease your habit of treating everyone equally with favor.

So you've come here to warn me?

All right, then. Master Li, are you focusing

on Miss Du, or Miss Long?

I am not obliged to inform you of that.

It's true that Miss Du and I had a long conversation last night.

Now, I finally have some sort of understanding when it comes to Miss Du.

The more I've come to understand her, the more I realize I have no romantic notions toward her.

On the contrary, my level of understanding

of you has deepened a little.

Especially when it comes to your lack of affection while being a man of shallow feelings.

Master Li, you've brought up the issue of "treating everyone equally with favor". All right.

Miss Long is my confidante, and also the only person I admire.

I hope you will distance yourself from her.

Don't always put her in a bind no matter the situation

so as to prevent the loss of your magnanimous demeanor.

As for Miss Du... Before speaking ill of me,

perhaps you should consider the debt you owe her for all these years.

The debt I owe her? Please explain yourself.

Miss Du has continually been at your side since the days of her youth.

It can't be helped if you're unable to have tender, protective feelings for her, but now you've even hurt the feelings of a beautiful woman.

Don't you feel guilty?

Xian'er and I have always treated each other like brother and sister.

Cease those pompous sentiments.

If you truly do not share the same feelings that she has, then you should make it clear.

Don't hurt her feelings, and then continue to talk of valuing affection and loyalty in this place.

I will stop myself here. I've already said all that needed to be said.

I still need to handle an important matter for Miss Long.

I will take my leave first.

Forgive me for not keeping you company.

Wrong move.

Wrong again.

You've lost.

That's impossible!

I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore! I've already lost ten rounds to you.

I usually win at least one round out of five.

- That's because I let you. - So why aren't you letting me win today?

I don't want to.

Don't you have something on tonight?

I was supposed to meet Qin'er at a restaurant,

but she and Chief Long have gone to meet His Royal Highness Prince Zhao for dinner.

She bailed on me again.

Is he jealous?

My Lord, rumors have spread in Chang'an that you are exerting yourself to make the country prosperous in Jiannan.

You made a promise in front of His Majesty

saying you would rank first in the whole country with regard to collecting taxes.

You capital officials

only know how to make fun of this old man in this wild, abandoned village.

Come, come, come, my Lords.

Let's use Lord Du's wine, and make a toast to him.

Every dish on this table tonight is a delicacy.

this dish, "Red Lamb Stewed with Pepper".

It actually uses pepper to complement the flavor.

Only our Lord Du has the ability to spend this type of money on such a grand scale.

He has proved himself a high ranking official of the Six Ministries. (T/N Personnel, Rites, War, Justice, Works, and Revenue.)

These are only small appetizers.

Here, bottoms up!

- Please. - Please.

Actually, I'm curious

as to how the marital manual is coming along.

My Lords,

the manufacture of this marital manual from Yincheng is being supervised by this one who is beneath you from start to finish.

Its creation has been chosen naturally from three poetic essays.

It can even be said that it can only be appreciated from afar, but cannot be touched blasphemously.

Both the young and the old can appreciate it.

Good!

Let us take the success of the marital manual

to wish Lord Du victory in raising the flag in Chang'an! (T/N taking the city by storm)

In the future when you've reached the top and become Head of the Three Provinces,

I hope you will not forget about your old buddies here.

I still need to rely on your help in the future.

When I arrive in Chang'an, I must remember to set up a network for you, my brothers.

- Here, bottoms up! - Of course, of course. - Here.

My Lords, please have a look.

This... look.

Lord Du.

The workmanship is all right. But now you'll have to be willing to spend on materials.

Lord Du, isn't the scale of the marital manual

a little... It might be difficult to avoid harming the elegant bearing of our Great Tang.

This lowly official also feels that if it is brought up to the face in broad daylight,

it would be difficult to avoid castigation from others.

Since this is a marital manual and the other party did not lay down any requests,

then I will make the decisions instead.

Produce one lot based on these drawings

What do you all think of delivering it to Jiaermu? (T/N this is a location)

What do you think? I think they are even more lively

than what my master has.

They do have some extra wild flavor.

The characters look realistic and alluring.

Then... let's hurry up with the production.

Master, we are running out of raw silk.

You have a large home and enterprise, so why are you running out of raw silk at this critical time?

The season for silk reeling is over. These things can grow worms.

Therefore, no one has any extra left in storage.

In the past, people usually would store some more or less.

This time when I asked, all the raw silk has been forcibly bought at a low price by the government this time.

The government took all of it?

Yes. They said the raw silk from Sichuan won't do. In future, they want the silk from Jiangnan.

They say no and that's it? Why not just get the annual tribute to the court from Jiangnan then?

Isn't it because the silk brocade made in Sichuan is high quality?

How about you keep looking in the southern part of the city?

I heard there are some cocoons still left among the silk farmers in the southern part of the city.

Me?

He just said that the government has bought them out.

Even if I go, I can't get them out of nothing.

What they have left is to raise silkworms. It's their blood and sweat.

I'll think of something.

[ Raw Silk Storage ]

Your Highness, it's empty inside.

Where is the raw silk? Wasn't it all collected here?

Your Highness, raw silk isn't easily stored, it's all rotted away!

- Preposterous! - Your Highness, don't be angry! Your Highness, don't be angry!

I need the raw silk now. You've collected all of it

but have discarded it. What is the meaning of this?

Taking the raw silk is an old practice in Yincheng.

All the extra raw silk is bought out every year.

It's also to avoid hoarding and price dumping.

All the businesses are almost all like this.

This is how the government adjusts the market.

Where did you throw it away?

Throw-throw-throw away to where?

I don't know that either.

But isn't it useless?

You are right. Get up then.

Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness!

So it's still here. Speaking of special safekeeping,

this is the place.

Yes, look here, Your Highness.

There is a collection of raw silk every year.

But usually the raw silk is collected a month later. This time it's especially early?

It was collected late before because new silk was being produced soon.

It's one thing to pay a low price for it, but this time in order to block New Silk Road,

they exposed themselves.

But the raw silk was taken out after storing it for only a few days?

- Could it be... - Of course it's to turn around and sell it to places where there is a shortage of silk.

Too bad that there isn't any name on the raw silk, so we don't know who stored it.

In Yincheng, who is in charge of raw silk as well as pepper?

Look, there is also a few entries that seem unclear.

I didn't notice them before.

It appears the entire black market depository is Du Changfeng's little gold vault.

Your Highness, are you giving this raw silk to Miss Long?

The fish is so big. I don't want to scare it away.

[ List of Purchases on Credit ]

[ To be given to the Silk Store "New Silk Road" today, twenty thousand dan of top quality Huzhou Silk. Yincheng County, twenty-eighth day of the fourth month. ] (T/N one dan is 50 kg/110 US pounds)

Twenty-thousand dan of top quality Huzhou Silk to be "more" on credit? (T/N She only recognizes the right side of the character, and so is only pronouncing that part)

"She." It means "purchase on credit."

I am very grateful to Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Of course I am giving you support, but it is for Chief Long's sake.

Master Li doesn't even care about a government subsidy.

My miniscule support obviously means nothing much to you.

Good brotherhood. Do you all see?

This is how brothers should be. When it's at a critical time, don't lose your mind.

Who wants to be a brother to you?

Good things come in twos. Since His Highness is giving us high regard,

Dragon Bamboo Gang isn't going to eat a free lunch. Fatty, bring up the big dish.

Yes.

Take a good look to see what this is.

So much raw silk? Where did you get it?

It's the silk farmers' last holding, the raw silk that was meant to grow new silkworms.

But promise me.

They made a sacrifice, so they'll count on you next year for their living.

Of course.

I will doubly pay them back.

Talk is just talk. It's up to your conscience to see if it will come true.

That's right.

Prince Zhao is the awesome one. When the Prince makes a move, they don't dare to disobey!

It looks like your status can be helpful after all.

Now that the problem is solved, let's not look worried and sad anymore.

Chief Long, you promised me.

I can't forget it. It's already prepared.

What did you promise him?

It's nothing to do with you. Why do you want to know?

Your Highness, let's go.

Let's go.

Wait.

It's fine that you are off to take care of things. But if something comes up, where can I find you?

Where else can it be?

Of course it's the place where you blush the most.

Wuyun...

[ Du Manor ]

Father, I heard the chief of household say that you want me to go to Chang'an first?

I haven't finished packing a lot of the luggage.

Besides, I need to finalize things at New Silk Road.

Xian'er, when you reach Chang'an,

I will buy better things for you.

Other than expensive jewelry, don't take anything else.

As for New Silk Road, just quickly cash out.

We aren't running away from disasters. Why do we have to settle it so clear cut?

You don't understand anything.

When I go to Chang'an to report, do you know how many pairs of eyes will be scrutinizing me?

If you don't settle affairs clearly, are you going to wait for others to attack you from behind?

What's even more important is that you must prepare the gifts in advance

for visiting Grand Imperial Consort and Imperial Concubine De.

As the daughter of a high-ranking court official, you must set your sights higher and farther.

Don't keep staring at Yincheng and New Silk Road.

Understand?

Understood.
