[Peacock in Wonderland]

[Episode 12]

The atmosphere here

make me want to write my test papers.

Ladies.

I'm the author of the Qingjiang Collections.

I'm known as the God of Poetry in Peacock City-State.

We are honored by your presence here.

I would like to write a poem for you.

Good.

The first time I played the Chinese lute.

Its music touched the fairies in the sky.

You two came from afar.

I'm so happy to see you here.

I'd like to play the guqin

to please you.

Ladies, you look like elegant girls who are talented

and well-educated.

I'd like to draw a portrait of you.

Good.

I know something about painting.

There is a wound on the assassin's collarbone.

Pay attention to it.

It's said you're all very talented.

I admire you very much.

I'd like to

propose a toast to all of you.

-We need to drink? -We'll drink?

My master appreciates your talents.

Don't be nervous.

You just need to drink three cups of wine

to show your politeness.

-Three cups? -Three cups?

That's too much wine.

I don't drink.

Come on.

Miss, I really don't drink.

Sorry I don't drink.

Come on, drink some.

Sir, have a cup.

Let me pour wine myself.

Let me propose a toast to you, talented men.

-Sir, let me pour wine for you. -Miss.

Let me do it myself.

Let me propose another toast to you.

Let's continue.

Miss, are you alright?

My Lady, you're still recovering from your illness.

You can't drink.

This...

It's okay.

It's my pleasure

to drink with the gentlemen.

You don't look well.

I'm afraid you'll catch a cold.

Hurry.

Close the windows.

Get some charcoal here and burn it.

-Hurry. -Okay.

My Lady.

Is she okay?

Are you okay?

How come none of them have a wound on their collarbones?

I don't know.

The assassin isn't here?

Let's keep waiting.

Moon Pavilion is really special.

It's just a tea house but there are so many guards here.

It's heavily guarded here.

We shouldn't barge in.

We need to be more careful.

What should we do next?

We've been here for so long but haven't found any clues yet.

Maybe the assassin's not here.

Muyang.

Young Master.

Holy Envoy, how is your investigation going?

Your tricks are smart.

Let's go.

Let's go downstairs.

Let's go.

The Contest of Intelligence

now begins.

Why is the painting being hung here?

Moon Pavilion

holds a Contest of Intelligence here every month.

Participants can have matches of lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The work of the winner

will be hung in the lobby for a month.

You two came on the right day.

Today, we're holding the Contest of Intelligence.

This is the battle of the best brains.

I need to find a good seat.

Mr. Qing Jian comes.

Mr. Qing Jian is here.

That is a Feitian leap.

Moon Pavilion is really a special place.

Who is Mr. Qing Jian?

So many people know him.

Mr. Qing Jian is the most talented man in Moon Pavilion.

He's also the owner of Moon Pavilion.

He's very talented

and elegant.

Many dignitaries in the city

spent much money on him but still didn't get to see his face.

If you can win the Contest of Intelligence,

you'll win Mr. Qing Jian's recognition

and get to see his face.

This is another example of hunger marketing.

Many celebrities tend to use this strategy.

The Contest of Intelligence now begins.

Who would like to have a try?

Me.

It's a child.

He's not tall,

but he's brave.

That's right.

Kid.

What would you like to show us?

My name is Shen Tong.

I heard there were many talents here.

I'd like to compete with you.

He's brave.

This painting is a good one that shows childlike innocence.

This kid is really interesting.

The kid must have impressed Mr. Qing Jian.

You're really a wonder boy.

But you're too young.

You need to improve your skills.

Keep practicing

and you'll see Mr. Qing Jian one day.

Anyone else

wants to have a try?

I major in science

and didn't learn any arts.

I can talk about something about the governance of a country.

I'm not good at

lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy or painting at all.

Okay.

Since no one wants to have a try,

I announce tonight's Contest of Intelligence...

Miss.

What are you doing?

Do you...

I'm raising my hand for him.

What are you doing?

Do it for Flowers Kill.

Lord Li is an artist.

Apart from you,

no one can get to him to take off his mask.

Go and show your talent.

Don't be afraid, My Lord.

Go!

Muyang.

You can do it.

You can do it.

You can do it.

Come on, Lord Li.

Please.

I trust you, Lord Li.

Lord Li, please.

Come on.

Have a try, Lord Li.

[Clear and Clean]

Sir.

Please lend me your sword.

Muyang is so amazing.

He can always impress people.

My Lord is amazing.

No one can beat him.

This work is really exquisite.

It's fantastic.

Your swordsmanship is excellent.

Although it's a good work,

this peacock is still a wooden peacock.

It doesn't have vitality.

What?

This work is so excellent.

You're still not satisfied?

How come?

Don't move.

Very good.

You are indeed extraordinary.

You made me want to compete with you.

I got the first line of an incomplete couplet the other day.

It bothers me that I couldn't think of a line to match it.

If you can come up with a line to match it,

I'll invite you to my room.

What is the line?

The line is,

I held a flagon when visiting the West Lake

and the flagon dropped into the West Lake;

what a pity.

Why are you raising your hand again?

I haven't come up with a line yet.

I learned physics

when walking in the fog

and the physics explains the fog;

why not ignore physics?

What does it mean?

I have no idea.

What a clever line.

But I don't know what physics is.

What is physics?

Physics

is the study

of the laws and principles that govern everything.

The rise and fall of the sun and the moon,

the movement of stars,

and the climate that favors the crops,

can all be explained by physics.

Cheer.

Oh, I see.

Since physics is so important and magical,

why don't you study it?

Why should we ignore it?

Because it's too complicated.

It's hard to understand and hard to learn.

You don't have to force yourself to understand it.

Good.

Good.

That's a good line.

Good! Good!

Very good.

You're so interesting.

If you would like to,

please go upstairs and have a talk with me.

Great!

Miss, please.

You only have thirty minutes.

That's too short.

Yes.

This is the rule of Moon Pavilion.

Mr. Qing Jian hardly sees people.

If you can win his favor,

you'll have more chances to stay with him.

Okay.

Wait, Miss.

What now?

Miss, as you can see, every day,

there are so many people

who want to see Mr. Qing Jian.

If you want to make a deep impression on him

and get him to remember you,

you'll need something to help you.

What is that?

Look.

Mr. Qing Jian's favorite color is green.

If you wear this green hairpin,

you'll get Mr. Qing Jian's attention.

If you don't like the hairpin,

I also have

the Yunfu sandalwood that Mr. Qing Jian likes very much.

If you don't like the Yunfu sandalwood,

I also have this pair of pear-blossom earrings.

Mr. Qing Jian likes pear blossoms very much.

If you wear these earrings,

Mr. Qing Jian will treat you as his confidant.

Stop trying to sell these things to me.

Now I know

why Moon Pavilion is thriving.

You all have contributed a lot.

I need to make money to support my family.

Miss.

[Qing Jian, Owner of Moon Pavilion]

No wonder your name is Qing Jian.

You're a handsome young man.

You are so interesting.

Thank you.

It's hot in here.

You can take off your mask.

Take off my mask?

I don't think it's a good idea.

Why not?

I'm showing my face to you.

What are you worried about?

Oh, you're Holy Envoy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm so famous?

You prayed for rains and blessings for Peacock City-State.

I've been admiring you for a long time.

Of course I can recognize you.

If I had known you were Holy Envoy,

I wouldn't have let you answer the question.

Actually,

I've long heard about you.

So I came to see you today.

Have a seat, Holy Envoy.

It's said you bathed in fire and came

and are the Peacock God's maid.

Is that true?

Of course.

You must have an important mission

and need to work hard for Peacock City-State.

Aren't you tired?

Yes.

But it doesn't matter.

Everyone has their own mission.

Maybe

I was born to be a person who has to work all the time.

Holy Envoy, you are not only righteous,

but also knowledgeable.

That incomplete couplet bothered me for a long time.

I spent much time thinking of a line to make it complete but in vain.

I didn't expect that you would think of a perfect line in such a short time.

I was impressed.

Let me propose a toast to you with the tea.

I came up with that line by luck.

You're really talented.

Here.

A toast to you.

I was so careless.

If you hadn't been quick enough,

I would have made your clothes dirty.

It doesn't matter.

Cool Guy.

I think the outfit you're wearing is pretty.

Can I borrow it?

This outfit is an old one.

How can I give it to you?

If you like it,

I have a new one.

I can give that to you.

Well.

Thank you.

Looks like I have to try my last method.

You sit a lot to read.

You must have a sore waist, right?

Kind of.

Well.

That's a symptom of lumbar muscle degeneration.

Come, sit over there.

Let me show you what I'm good at.

Let me give you a shoulder and neck massage.
