Original subtitles

Mother, you go through one hall after the other.

It's tiring enough to burn the incense and kowtow.

How could you say it's tiring?

Bodhisattva would certainly not be pleased.

I hope your sister's blessed for a good marriage

when she gets married into the Liu Family.

You know, Yulang,

presently I'm worried about your marriage.

Fortune telling sticks foretold an early marriage.

But I'd sure be glad if you do.

I just don't know whom you'll marry.

No one knows. There's simply no point in rushing.

Who knows? She could be right around the corner.

Yulang, let's go for some vegetarian noodles.

I'm not hungry. You go ahead with my elder sister.

I'd rather be here.

Alright.

It's a nice day, the bird is singing on the branches.

I'm done with studies & taking a stroll in the Temple.

The breeze feels great.

Walking around leisurely.

What a beauty!

Where's the fairy from? I go forward for a closer look.

Mother and daughter arriving at City God Temple.

Being crowded in the front, we pray in the back hall.

My son Liu Pu has fallen sick.

City God, please bless the people.

I hope my elder brother will recover soon.

Weiliang, what does the divination stick say?

It's one of the best, mom. Hurry & get the explanation.

Wait for me here, don't run around.

I know, mother.

She's too strict with me.

A daughter is like a caged bird.

I've no freedom.

It's quiet and empty in the back hall.

Let me take a closer look at the murals.

Chang'e stole the elixir of life in this one,

she's condemned to eternal loneliness on the moon.

And this one about the filial son Dong Yong,

the fairy broke the rules of heaven for him.

This is the love story of herder and the weaver maid,

they can only meet once a year.

I begin to panic,

I can feel my temperature rising.

I just worry that I'll have a bad marriage.

That'd be such a waste. Bodhisattva, please help.

Do help me find a good match.

I wish...I wish...

To pick a gentle, ambitious and handsome husband.

He also should be talented.

So as to be successful in his career.

What's the matter with you?

I wasn't talking to you, who needs your comment?

I noticed you pouring your heart out to Bodhisattva,

and you couldn't exactly say it out.

Just want to help.

That's why I completed your sentence.

It was kindly meant.

I didn't ask for your help,

I can speak properly on my own.

But I've already said it.

I mean... what should we do?

Take it back.

But I said it, how could I take it back?

You're a scholar,

don't you know some proper manners?

You deserve a lecture.

Yes...I do!

Please be gentle.

I don't want to have anything to do with you.

Not only I'm going to lecture you, I'll report you.

Report me?

Your frivolous act.

To teach properly, the teacher may also give a beating.

Beating?

Yes, with a ruler.

Lady, please. You can't report me.

My teacher would really beat me up.

Then run off now; If my mother sees you,

she won't let you get away so easily.

Very well, I'm off.

Miss, please forgive me.

I didn't mean to bother you.

What a handsome, slick young man.

Very talented, and very articulate.

It's by chance we meet here.

He makes me blush.

I pray again for my husband to be handsome & talented.

Mother.

Read this...

An auspicious event can turn all the bad luck around.

Turn the bad luck?

Great! It's time for a wedding,

for your brother's sake.

Mother. But my brother is sick, how could he marry?

What do you know?

Would the City God make a mistake?

Go on...burn some incense.

You go on first, I'll catch up.

What are you doing here alone?

Not alone.

What? Who else is here?

No one...

Let's go.

Mother, look at these murals.

I want to take a closer look.

What's so interesting about these? Let's go...

I'll be back again.

What? No, we won't.

She's so charming, I'm beginning to fall for her.

A natural beauty, and she talked with me.

But I don't know her name, how could I propose?

It's hard to find a right match; hope I see her again!

Bodhisattva, my name is Xu Ya, my daughter Wengu,

I hope she'll stay smart and could get married soon.

My name is Fei Jiulao, my son Fei Zheng,

please bless him for a good marriage & official career

Kowtow.

Let's go.

Wengu, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Admiring the murals.

I think my paintings are better.

Move aside.

Why didn't you follow me?

I...

Let's go.

Zheng, what are you doing here again?

I'm looking at the pictures.

Come on. Let's go and burn some incense.

Wengu...Zheng

Coming...

Weiliang...Yulang

Coming...

Liu Weiliang.

Xu Wengu.

Not realising the mistake, they sent for matchmakers.

Only the Bodhisattva understands.

The Bodhisattva could only laugh.

Sun Yulang took Wengu as Weiliang,

he sent the matchmaker to the Xu family.

The matchmaker does a good job.

Wengu overheard the matchmaker

and thought Fei Zheng is Yulang.

Her father approved the engagement.

She's thrilled.

Fei Zheng holding the handkerchief,

mistakes Weiliang for Wengu;

He hadn't the slightest idea that he had got it wrong.

And he sent the matchmaker to the Liu family.

Weiliang overheard the matchmaker,

she thought Yulang is Fei Zheng.

And her parents approved the engagement.

A pleasant surprise.

She's very happy.

Weiliang is engaged.

Pu is about to get married too.

Two weddings in our family!

Yes.

Weiliang...

Weiliang.

Coming.

Father, mother.

Weiliang.

Just now, Fei Jiulao sent the matchmaker

on behalf of his son Fei Zheng to propose to you.

We've agreed to it.

They are a reputable family.

And Master Fei is a scholar.

It's a good match.

Weiliang, the matchmaker said that

Master Fei saw you at the temple.

Did you see him?

Me? I'm not sure.

Lady, please. You can't report me.

My teacher would really beat me up.

Looking at the fan, she thinks of him.

We're destined to meet in the temple.

We've exchanged the tokens of love.

Thinking of the person I like.

Life's so empty before I met him.

I feel sad during the day,

and lonely in the night.

It's hard to be alone.

Since I met him,

I've fallen lovesick.

He's handsome and I'm committed.

His image is in my dreams.

I miss him and he misses me.

I wish I can be married soon.

Then I can talk to him to my heart's content.

Then I can talk to him.

Madam! We've a problem.

Madam! We've a problem.

What is it?

The young...

Young what?

Speak up.

The young master has fainted.

Ruaner, hurry and send for Doctor Ding.

Yes.

My son...

Elder brother.

My son is really ill.

What should we do?

Madam, I think the wedding must be postponed.

It's a wedding!

How could you postpone it?

We should carry on with it.

But my brother is so ill, how can he get married?

Maybe we should pick another day.

What do you know?

We must listen to the City God's behest.

Pu will recover once the bad luck turns around.

Turn the bad luck around?

Yes. The wedding will be held as planned.

As for Pu's condition,

we must never let the Sun Family find out.

Pay attention, Guixiang.

You can't leak a word about young master's health.

I know, I won't leak a word.

Alright, time to send the betrothal gift over.

Where are you off to?

To buy something in the market.

Have a seat, madam.

The Liu Family has sent someone

here to deliver the betrothal gifts to the young lady.

Madam, Mr. Sun.

Madam.

Mr. Li has sent me here to deliver the betrothal gifts.

This is the wedding invitation.

Have a seat.

No, thanks. Congratulations, Madam! Lady!

Where's the young lady?

In her room.

Must be busy with the dowry.

Madam, I'm off to buy something.

Madam, let's take a look at the gifts.

There's no rush.

Young master Liu and Miss Sun are such a good match.

As the matchmaker, I...

Sister...

What is it?

Congratulations!

The Liu Family has sent betrothal gifts here.

You're about to be a bride.

Shut up! I'm not getting married.

You're not? Look!

A pair of mandarin ducks,

sticking together forever.

Day and night.

Shut up!

Will you stop?

No.

I dare you to say another word.

Staying together day and night...

You are terrible.

What are you two doing?

Mother, younger brother is bullying me.

No, Mother. She said she doesn't want to get married.

But in fact, she can't wait.

Enough! Yulang!

Zhuyi, they are very generous with the betrothal gifts.

I must prepare a bigger dowry for you.

Treat your in-laws well when you're married to him

and take good care of your husband.

Yi Shou Medicine

Fat girl! Why do you need to take some medicine?

Who said I need the medicine?

It's for the young Master Liu.

Master Liu is about to get married.

But he can't, he's really sick.

He's not getting any better.

I'm really worried.

What for? You're not the bride.

Shut up!

Who's the young lady that your master will marry?

The eldest Miss Sun.

When Miss Sun is married to your master,

what if something happens to Master Liu?

Then...it's bad news for the young lady.

Miss, are you saying you're from Mr. Liu's family?

Yes.

The bride is Miss Sun?

Yes.

Oh...

What?

Are you sure?

Of course.

Really?

Of course.

I'm a maid from the Liu Family.

I know everything.

If you're not clear, let me repeat it.

Go on.

Master Liu is very sick.

Madam thought that the wedding may bring in good luck.

Oops!

The madam told me not to say a word,

that the Sun Family could never find out.

Don't tell anyone.

Could this be real?

Are you certain?

Yes.

A maid of the Liu Family told me.

And lots of locals have heard it too.

If Master Liu is really sick,

then how can I let Zhuyi marry him?

What should we do?

Nanny, go get the matchmaker.

Tell her to inform Liu Family to postpone the wedding.

Yes, right away.

Hold on. There's no use to send the matchmaker.

The Lius would never admit to brother-in-law's sickness

Since you heard it yourself, nanny.

Then maybe you should go and tell the Lius.

Then...

It's the only option.

You must convince Liu Family that

they'll let Zhuyi come back after the ceremony. And

she'll move there when brother-in-law totally recovers.

That would be best.

Very well, let's do it.

The nanny from Sun Family is here to see you, sir.

Sun Family's nanny?

Yes.

Send her to the living room.

Yes.

My dear.

The Sun Family's nanny is here.

Strange. What is she doing here?

Let me go take a look.

Be careful with your words.

Wait here.

Hello, Mr. & Mrs. Liu.

Please have a seat.

Thanks.

Do you have a message from the in-laws?

My madam heard that the young Master is sick,

she sent me here to check on him.

Thank her for us.

My son had a flu a few days ago,

he's recovered now.

How did she find out?

I told her.

And where did you hear it from?

One of your maids.

A maid? Which one?

The plump one.

Guixiang.

Guixiang?

Coming...you called for me, madam?

You...

She told me.

Oh it's you! Don't you get it?

I thought I was clear enough.

The young master is sick.

Madam thought that the wedding may bring in good luck.

What did I tell you?

Keep your mouth shut about the young master's health.

Especially keep it from the Sun Family.

And you have such a big mouth!

Dear, you told her not to tell,

but you spoke yourself.

How would I?

You did.

When?

You've just said it, Madam.

Shut up! Get lost!

Madam, when will the young master take his medicine?

When it's ready.

Get lost!

Madam, since the young master is sick,

I should go and say hi,

and check on him.

So that I can go back and report to my lady.

That's alright, he's sleeping.

Please thank the in-laws for me.

If the young master is too ill,

my lady suggests to postpone the wedding.

No! They've accepted the betrothal gifts.

The day is set! It can't be changed.

My lady is worried about the young master's health.

Don't worry, when they get married,

I wouldn't let them share the bedroom just yet.

You've put me in a difficult position.

I think it's a good idea to postpone the wedding.

No!

The most important thing is for my son Pu to get better

If that's the case, let our young lady come

for the wedding ceremony, then she'll return home.

We'll send her back when the young master recovers.

Good idea! Let's do that.

She'll return home on the sedan chair right away.

No, mother! Even if I'll come home,

there'll be a wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, I'd be a Liu.

What if Master Liu never recovers?

Zhuyi, this is hard for me too.

But it's too late to call it off now.

Mother, my life could be ruined.

What should we do?

I'm really worried.

Don't be sad, mother. Sister has got a point.

Let me think of something.

Got it! I've a plan.

Tell us.

Father, my brother is still in a coma,

how can he attend the ceremony later?

Go check on him.

Pu...

So? He's still not awake?

He woke up just a while ago,

but fell asleep back again.

He couldn't get up for the ceremony.

The bride is here.

The bride's sedan chair has arrived, sir.

Got it...what now?

The groom's needed for the ceremony.

Well then, you go and stand in for your son.

Me? Are you crazy? How could that be?

We have to find someone.

Find whoever.

How could that be?

It's not a game.

Mother, I think I should go.

You're a girl! She'll be your sister-in-law!

Doesn't matter! I'm doing it for my brother.

It will work.

Very well.

Weiliang, hurry & get changed into the groom's outfit.

Alright.

Guixiang, help the young lady to get dressed.

The shoes.

Where's the groom?

It's rude to keep the bride waiting in the sedan chair.

Don't worry, he'll be here soon.

I heard Master Liu is too sick to get up.

I don't know how he could make it for the ceremony.

Today I'm in disguise, I must hide my femininity.

It's fun to pose as a man.

Look at me! A dashing young man.

My posture and walk outperforms

any young scholar. No one would suspect me.

I'm standing in for my brother.

Sisters-in-law in a wedding ceremony.

This is a first.

My lady, it's time.

Don't let the bride wait.

Alright.

Coming...

That's not master Liu.

Looks like Weiliang.

Weiliang?

Who's she?

Miss Liu.

What is she doing here?

Strange.

Very strange.

Xiliang.

Weiliang as the groom?

I haven't heard of it.

What? Two women in a wedding ceremony? That's odd.

Madam, she and her?

Why not?

How could that be?

They're sisters-in-law, not a couple.

Keep it down.

It's just the same.

The same? Not at all.

Just the same...

Oh, very well then.

Let's begin.

First bow to the heaven and earth.

Bow...done.

Second bow to the parents.

Bow...done.

Then to each other.

Bow...done.

The couple be sent to the nuptial chamber.

Madam, now that the ceremony is over,

My lady should be sent home.

C'mon, there's no rush.

All brides need to be sent to the honeymoon suite.

You should know the rules.

Today is a wedding day.

Dressed in disguise, the two get married.

It's the Liu Family that has been duped.

It's by fate that they met, and they meet again today.

They've swapped roles.

It's strange indeed how it works out.

I heard that the bride is a beauty.

Could she be a beauty like Weiliang?

How would I know?

You need to take off the veil first.

Everyone...to the front hall.

It's time for the wedding banquet.

Madam...

Please let the bride return home.

How could that be?

No bride can return home after the ceremony.

I thought Mr. Liu promised.

So?

I'm the mother, I'm in charge.

You're a nanny, you should know better.

When a woman is married into a family,

her mother-in-law is in charge.

Technically she can't go home until three days later.

Don't you know?

Weiliang, Guixiang.

You stay here with the new mistress.

Oh.

Weiliang...

Mother, is the banquet finished?

Yes, they want to have a party in the honeymoon suite.

It took a while to get rid of them.

Weiliang, remove the bride's veil for your brother.

Guixiang, get the beam scale for the young lady.

Madam.

Looks a bit strange.

Not at all...

I've met the young lady before,

she doesn't look like this.

It's been years.

Madam, you know how a young girl could grow.

Of course her face would keep changing.

Changing face?

Would the sister-in-law transform later?

She might be.

Madam, since you won't let my lady to return home,

she could only stay here.

Yes. Of course she must stay here.

But my lady is easily frightened.

She doesn't like to sleep alone.

I'll let Weiliang stay here with her.

That can't be.

They're sisters-in-law, it's fine.

Weiliang, keep your sister-in-law company.

Yes, of course.

Madam, then...

There's nothing for you to worry.

Not at all.

I'm not worried either.

Weiliang, go get changed first.

Sure.

In the bride's outfit the whole day,

and not making a single move sitting here.

It's hard to take it.

Lower your voice.

We had a deal that I could go back,

but now I must stay.

What to do now?

Get changed first.

Master, Miss Liu will come here later.

You could never...

Remember.

Nanny...

Nanny...

Coming.

Miss.

Nanny, my mother said you've been busy the whole day.

You must be tired, you should go to sleep.

I'm not tired, I'll stay here with my lady.

That's fine. I'll stay with my sister-in-law.

I'll stay for a little bit longer.

It's late.

Let the young lady keep the young mistress' company.

You come with me, let's go.

Master, remember you mustn't...

What now?

Don't worry.

They'll keep each other's company.

That's what I worry.

What for? That they'll fight?

They won't...let's go.

It's getting late and the two sit in different corners.

They've no idea they're sitting so close to each other.

Though in doubt, they dare not ask.

She'd never know what I'm thinking.

Sister-in-law looks so pretty & resembles my sweetheart

My sister-in-law looks handsome,

though she's in make up and dress,

but she looks like Master Fei.

She looks like Xu Wengu.

I could never forget Wengu.

My sister-in-law looks so similar to Master Fei.

I know what he looks like.

Could she be Miss Xu? But this is the Liu Family.

She's my sister-in-law, how could she be Master Fei?

Let me take a closer look...

Sister-in-law, you...

Sister-in-law, what did you say?

You look very familiar to someone.

Who?

Fei Zheng.

Fei Zheng? He's your...

My...

Who's he to you?

Fiance.

Have you met him?

Yes.

Where?

In the back hall of City God's Temple.

Didn't he give you a fan,

and you gave him a handkerchief?

Correct. How did you know?

Yes. My younger brother Yulang told me.

On your handkerchief,

did you have "Xu Wengu" embroidered on it?

No, my name "Liu Weiliang" on it.

And what's the name on the fan?

Fei Zheng.

Not Sun Yulang?

No.

Oh no! I was in a rush the other day.

I took Wengu's handkerchief,

and Wengu must have got my fan.

Who really are you?

Me? I'm me.

You're not my sister-in-law.

Tell me now! Or I'll call for someone.

Your sister-in-law Sun Yulang is my elder sister.

So I mistook you for Fei Zheng.

And I presumed that you are Wengu.

It's a mistake.

Oh no! It's all wrong.

You're Yulang.

Then why are you dressed as a woman to dupe us?

I heard that my brother-in-law has fallen ill.

As the wedding got near, my sister got cold feet.

Day after day she cried, thinking that

she'll be ruined if anything happens to brother-in-law.

That's why I dressed in disguise, trying to help her.

I see. What a coincidence.

If I didn't fill in for my brother at the wedding...

we wouldn't have met.

Could this be a dream?

Tonight is a good night.

I'm only in love with you, I'll never marry Master Fei.

We're a match made in heaven.

We'll marry each other only.

It's a shame that we made a mistake,

but luckily we still have time.

Although tonight isn't the Chinese Valentine's.

But we still meet each other.

It's destiny.

We're here to declare our love.

We shall not separate from each other.

The candles shine on the newly wed.

They belong to each other.

What a loving couple.

This is their wedding night.

The breeze has brought the fragrance from the blooms.

The flowers are blooming and birds singing.

It's so enjoyable to be in each other's company.

We'll be together.

You're prettier than the blooms.

We've such a strong bond of love.

Look at the lotus, two blooms together.

The trees are great,

but nothing like the way you walk.

How the leaves shake,

it's important to have a proper posture.

Enjoying having my love by my side.

We only envy the mandarin ducks.

Singing along with my husband.

It's as if we complement each other.

And we'll follow each other's footsteps.

We shall never be parted.

Young madam, miss. The madam's here.

Mother's here.

Don't worry, she doesn't know that you're Yulang.

Mother.

Mother-in-law.

Look at you two!

Getting along so well.

If your brother finds out, he'd be jealous.

They look like a couple.

Mind your words.

Weiliang, your brother is much better,

he can sit up now.

You two haven't met yet,

go on and meet him.

Guixiang, go to the young master.

Tell him that his wife's coming over.

Pu will be happy to see you,

he might recover soon. Come on...

Young master, the young mistress is here.

Pu, your bride's here.

Help your sister-in-law.

My dear wife.

Dear husband.

You've finally met.

Mother, my brother has just improved slightly.

He should get back to rest.

Brother, don't talk too much.

Talking will tire you.

After you've recovered, you can see the sister-in-law.

Please take care of yourself, my husband.

Thank you, dear wife.

A couple who treats each other with proper manners.

I really hope I'll have a grand child soon.

Mother, my brother begins to recover,

let him have his rest.

It's bad for him when too many of us are here.

That's right. Let him rest.

Lie down. Rest well.

Rest a few more days. Don't worry about other things.

Look! They're so nice to each other.

And the sisters-in-law are getting along.

We're a harmonious family.

Yes, we indeed are.

Mother, I'll accompany sister-in-law to their chamber.

Very well. Go on.

Guixiang, let's go.

Young master, you can't stay on any longer.

What if Master Liu gets well and asks for you?

It will be a mess if they find out.

You must go now.

I can't walk out like this.

Weiliang, what should I do?

Think of something, Miss Liu.

We'll think of something this evening.

Stay here.

Yulang.

Weiliang.

Pledging our love,

and we're now engaged.

Hoping to get married properly soon.

Too bad we have to be parted tonight.

I love you dearly, and I hope you feel the same.

We've an engagement, I promise I'll come back.

It's time to say goodbye.

I've so much to say to you, too bad there's no time.

We'll be bonded together,

and we pledge to one another.

I'll only marry you.

And I with you.

Master, go now.

I'll walk you to the back door.

Alright.

Young lady, who's that?

Young mistress...

Where's the young mistress? What's a man doing here?

Could the young mistress be a man?

Guixiang, are you certain you saw a man?

Yes.

They left from the back door.

Both of them gone

He was in a disguise?

The young mistress was still a woman by the day,

and she turned into a man at night.

Weiliang! You ran away with him?

Mother.

Kneel down...

Tell me, what's going on?

Come on.

Speak up!

Speak up or I'll beat you! Move over! Speak!

Now!

Now!

Weiliang, say something.

Will you tell me or not? Or I'll beat you.

Silence? You asked for this.

Move away! Speak up now!

I'll beat you to death if you won't speak.

How could you do such a thing?

What if Madam Liu finds out?

Madam Liu told Weiliang to accompany me.

But still, you and Miss Liu...

Nanny, why didn't you keep an eye on him?

How am I supposed to?

Don't worry, mother.

Weiliang and I met in the temple.

I thought you're engaged to Xu Wengu.

I got it wrong.

How's that possible?

Only the Bodhisattva in the temple knows.

What now?

I'll only marry Weiliang, and she'll only marry me.

I'll only marry Yulang, and he'll only marry me.

What now?

We'll be in big trouble if old Mr. Fei finds out.

The future daughter-in-law already...

It's all your fault! You let her attend the wedding.

Now we're in trouble!

This isn't the time to blame me.

Guixiang, you can't say a word about this.

Not a word.

Silly girl.

Who're you calling silly? I've a name.

Miss Guixiang.

Miss Guixiang, it's been a while.

So? You're here to buy some medicine for Master Liu?

Go to hell! The young master is all recovered.

You're the one who needs some medicine.

Miss Guixiang, is Master Liu all recovered?

Is he married?

Tell us.

No! Not a word.

If you can't say a word,

you can say more.

That's right, as long as I don't say a word.

It's alright to say more.

That's right. The more the better. Come on.

Listen up! It's so funny.

Master Liu is sick,

so Miss Liu filled in his place at the ceremony.

The Madam told the young lady to stay with the bride.

They're sisters-in-law, so it's not a big deal.

But, the big deal is...

the bride is a man in disguise.

What? A man?

The two of them stayed together for three days.

With her big mouth the silly maid leaked the secret.

Rumours spread like wildfire,

all over the town.

When old Mr. Fei found out, he's furious!

Future daughter-in-law spent the night in a man's room!

Immediately he dragged his son,

and headed straight for the Liu family residence.

Xu Ya heard about it, and he's angry too.

Groom-to-be changed his mind even before the wedding.

In a rage, he runs outside.

He's going to teach Yulang a lesson!

It's chaotic! And people have gathered for a show!

Liu, Sun, Fei, Xu, the four seniors.

They've raised a quarrel.

Oh, they were supposed to be in-laws, and now foes!

It's all because of Weiliang and Yulang.

All because of what they did!

And the silly maid has no idea of the damage she's done

The old and the young of the four families,

are heading straight to the magistrate to sort it out.

Judge, please help us.

You're all talking,

but I've only got one pair of ears.

How am I supposed to hear you clearly?

Now that you're all blaming each other.

Who exactly is the plaintiff?

Kneel over there.

I am, sir.

Shut up! If you're all the plaintiff,

then am I the defendant?

Who's suing whom?

One after the other, speak clearly.

Your Honour.

I'm suing Sun Yulang for duping my daughter Weiliang.

How so?

You see, since my son fell ill,

I told my daughter Weiliang

to pose as her elder brother at the wedding ceremony.

But who'd have known, Sun Yulang dressed as the bride.

A woman dressed as a man and a man dressed as a woman.

That's interesting.

If your son's sick, why not postpone the wedding?

I went for fortune telling in the City God's Temple,

it said that I should turn the bad luck around.

Fortune telling? You should have found a doctor instead

If holding an auspicious event could cure sickness,

then all the doctors would be out of business.

So too would all the medicine shops.

Stop laughing.

This is a court, not a teahouse.

Continue. What happened?

At night,

Sun family's nanny said that the bride doesn't like to

sleep alone, that's why I sent in my daughter.

Who would have thought...

Go on.

I can't.

What a mess!

Send for Sun Yulang and Liu Weiliang.

The rest of you stand aside.

What a couple!

No!

They're not!

It's a mismatch.

Come forward.

Sir,

you can't let them kneel so close together.

Move aside!

Nonsense! Won't you listen to me?

Do you want to take my place?

Stand back.

Yes.

Weiliang, tell me

exactly what happened.

Yes, sir.

My elder brother fell sick,

and so my parents panicked.

I followed my mother to the City God's Temple.

We went in the back hall for fortune telling.

There I met Sun Yulang, and fell in love.

Who knew Fei Zheng and Wengu were there too.

We were all in a rush,

and simply had no idea about the mix-up.

I took Fei Zheng for Yulang.

When the Fei family proposed,

my parents right away agreed.

We didn't know about the mix-up.

So I see.

Who else knows about this?

No one, except the Bodhisattva in the temple.

The Bodhisattva knows?

Yes.

Except the Bodhisattva can't come forward as a witness.

And then what?

As per the instruction, the wedding went on as planned.

City God's played a joke.

My brother was too ill to be a groom.

Guixiang spread the secret on the streets.

My sister-in-law found out and refused to get married.

I was worried about my brother's health.

Yulang decided to dress as his sister to be the bride.

He dressed as his sister,

and you dressed as your brother.

It's incredible.

Alright. Stand up you two, and show me.

Changed into a man's outfit,

I went in disguise.

We went to the honeymoon suite, and sat in two corners.

Then I realised "she" looks like my fiance.

Still in doubt, we looked at each other.

Only then we found out, and thanked heavens.

For 3 days we cherished our togetherness as a couple.

Our souls belong together,

dead or alive.

Is this the truth?

Absolutely.

Send for Fei Zheng and Xu Wengu.

Sir.

Another couple, correct?

Did you too exchange tokens of love in the temple?

Yes, I understand now.

I took Liu Weiliang's handkerchief by mistake,

and I mistook Liu Weiliang for Xu Wengu.

Accidentally I took Sun Yulang's fan,

and presumed him to be Fei Zheng.

How's that possible?

I heard my father calling outside,

and I made the mistake in a rush.

Me too.

Then it's not your fault.

It's your parents' fault.

It's not my fault, sir.

Of course it is!

If you didn't yell in the first place,

they wouldn't have been in such a rush.

And then they wouldn't take from the wrong person.

You're wrong! Stand back.

Yes, sir.

Send for Liu Pu and Sun Zhuyi.

Sir.

Another couple.

You're engaged

under your parents' orders?

Yes, sir.

Did you make any mistakes?

No.

All six of them kneeling is so marvelous.

Three loving couples.

They've set eyes on their own choice.

She looks at him, and he looks at her.

They didn't know about the mismatch.

And the City God played a prank.

Let me be the matchmaker.

This is really a simple case.

Just to get the facts right.

Only I can settle this.

Sun Yulang and Liu Weiliang,

they were in disguise, and should be punished.

Well said, sir.

Agreed, sir. Punish them!

This is my court, who needs your advice?

Step back.

Yes, sir.

Yulang and Weiliang did it because of their parents.

I'll give them a chance and won't punish them.

Good judgment, sir.

Fei Jiulao, this case is clear now.

Weiliang's engagement to your son is off,

and she should be married to Fei Zheng.

No...sir.

I don't want that daughter-in-law.

I'm not finished yet, what's your hurry?

Step back.

Yes, sir.

I won't force you if you don't want to.

But since Weiliang and Yulang already had a wedding.

Though in disguise, but they're still a match.

Thank you, sir.

Zhuyi is engaged to Liu Pu,

and the two families should get along now.

But Liu Pu could only marry Zhuyi after he recovers.

And shouldn't worry about procuring an heir too soon.

Thank you for your kindness, sir.

Since Yulang is marrying Weiliang,

his engagement to Wengu is considered void.

And Wengu should marry Fei Zheng.

Thank you, sir.

Now it's all fixed.

Yes.

When the three couples get married,

be sure to invite me.

Thank you, sir.

The court is dismissed!

Magistrate Qiao is smart, he's a good matchmaker.

It's quite a legend.

People of different ages are praising him.

He's turned the crisis around; the foes are now friends

Everyone is in great joy!

The two families have a wedding to plan.

Two mandarin ducks bobbing their heads in the pond.

They'll stay by each other forever.

Lifelong marital bliss,

and a true match made in heaven.
