[Episode 7]

14
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,360
We did it!

15
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,440
We finally got the dragonfly pattern.

16
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,060
Good heavens. I've been working for over ten years.

17
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:56,240
These plates are the hardest I've ever fired.

18
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,830
Let's head to the trade guild now,
and show them what we've achieved.

19
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:01,700
Let's go.

[Lingquan Town Porcelain Trade Guild]

21
00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:06,030
Stop right there!

22
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:08,360
Please announce my arrival. I need to see Young Mr. He.

23
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,520
The Young Mr. He said he's ill and isn't seeing anyone,

24
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,380
especially women.

25
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,710
My Lord, the porcelain trade guild
has submitted a joint report,

26
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:26,640
accusing the Yushao Porcelain Shop in Lingquan
of illegal land acquisition.

27
00:02:28,990 --> 00:02:30,240
Who?

28
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,390
Yushao Porcelain Shop
from the porcelain trade guild.

29
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:37,640
The trade guild has been monopolizing
the porcelain business for years.

30
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,040
Ms. Liu only bought a piece of land.

31
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,960
It can't be considered
illegal land acquisition.

32
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,410
I must take this opportunity
to teach the trade guild a lesson.

33
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:58,490
B-But the porcelain business accounts
for a third of Lingquan Town's tax revenue.

34
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:02,140
Besides, the date for the royal tribute
is just around the corner.

35
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:05,090
Ms. Liu dared to do that.

36
00:03:05,090 --> 00:03:09,010
She should be the one... to be punished.

37
00:03:09,010 --> 00:03:11,730
Ms. Liu purchased the land legally.

38
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:14,460
What crime is there?

39
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:18,940
Sorry I made a mistake.

40
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:25,270
How should we handle this case?

41
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:29,920
I await your instructions, My Lord.

42
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,100
I've already cut their taxes
to support their road expansions.

43
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,000
The routes they choose are totally up to them,

44
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,180
and Zhenzhou authority shall not interfere.

45
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:43,690
Yes, My Lord.

46
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:53,970
What are you thinking?

47
00:03:56,150 --> 00:04:00,560
Honey, I was turned away
by the He family today.

48
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,850
Then I asked around and found out they accused
me of illegal land acquisition to His Lordship.

49
00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:09,000
I heard about that.

50
00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:12,200
That's not your fault.

51
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Even if this issue reaches Lord Huaiyang,
you still have a valid case.

52
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,020
But those merchants
have held power in Lingquan for a long time.

53
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:22,390
I'm afraid Lord Huaiyang will listen to them.

54
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:23,930
No, he won't.

55
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:27,700
From what I know of Lord Huaiyang,

56
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:31,930
he will uphold justice and remain unbiased.

57
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:36,030
Right.

58
00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:37,560
How did I not think of that?

59
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,020
- Do you trust him now? 
 - No.

60
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:41,900
I trust you, honey.

61
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:43,980
We can't take a hit and stay quiet.

62
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:48,900
Let's go meet Lord Huaiyang
and petition him to clear this up.

63
00:04:50,350 --> 00:04:51,990
Honey?

64
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,030
Lord Huaiyang is very busy.

65
00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:58,000
That's why you must help.

66
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,830
You play Go with His Lordship,
so you can introduce me to him.

67
00:05:00,830 --> 00:05:03,370
- I...
- Nanny Li.

68
00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:05,130
Prepare a formal outfit for me.

69
00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:08,270
We'll go to the Mansion
of Lord Huaiyang this afternoon.

70
00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:20,780
[Cui Mansion]

71
00:05:20,780 --> 00:05:22,960
To the Mansion of Lord Huaiyang.

72
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,230
Drive steadily.

73
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:25,770
Yes.

74
00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:30,280
[Cui Mansion]

75
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,320
What a disaster.

76
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,600
Honey. When we meet His Lordship, follow my lead.

77
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Follow your lead?

78
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,960
Well, all you need to do
is build a good rapport with him.

79
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,150
I'll handle the business.

80
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:05,760
You won't need to say anything.

81
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,780
Don't be so nervous.

82
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,470
His Lordship and Ms. Liu will arrive soon.

83
00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:15,710
You'll pose as a military officer
and meet them.

84
00:06:15,710 --> 00:06:17,680
Don't give away His Lordship's identity.

85
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,130
But... Why is it happening so suddenly?

86
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:21,860
Cut it out now.

87
00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:25,200
If Ms. Liu insists on seeing His Lordship,
tell her he is still at the military camp.

88
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Quickly. Go, go, go!

89
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Alright, alright.

90
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:32,460
They're here!

91
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:34,080
Send the owner of Yushao Porcelain Shop in.

92
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,020
It's not the owner of Yushao Porcelain Shop.
It's the members of the trade guild.

93
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:38,520
They're on their knees at the door
to make a petition.

94
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,910
His Lordship and Ms. Liu are here.

95
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:43,140
Won't that give it away?

96
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,250
The 12 trade guild members
are asking Lord Huaiyang

97
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:51,910
to address the Yushao Porcelain Shop's
illegal land acquisition.

98
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:57,420
- Please rule and judge fairly, Your Lordship.
- Please rule and judge fairly, Your Lordship.

99
00:06:57,420 --> 00:06:59,000
Honey, did you hear that?

100
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,620
These merchants are making
nasty accusations right here.

101
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:03,470
I can't hear it clearly.

102
00:07:03,470 --> 00:07:04,760
Then come here.

103
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,980
- Look at them.
- I...

104
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:08,220
Come and see for yourself.

105
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:13,600
I saw it. I saw it.

106
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:18,410
They won't succeed.

107
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
- General Huang. 
 - There he is.

108
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,450
Look. There he is.

109
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:28,290
But that's not His Lordship.

110
00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:31,030
Crowding in front of His Lordship's residence,
how disgraceful!

111
00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:32,900
Stand up!

112
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:36,588
We didn't mean to disturb His Lordship,

113
00:07:36,588 --> 00:07:41,960
but Mrs. Cui has been unfair in business
and illegally seized land.

114
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,370
If this isn't resolved,
our livelihoods will be at risk.

115
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:48,640
Yes.

116
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,470
If I don't sell my stock soon,
my shop will go under.

117
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:54,510
Please rule and judge fairly.

118
00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:59,400
Please rule and judge fairly, Your Lordship.

00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,500
Where are you going?

122
00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:09,120
Coachman, let's go back.

123
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,000
We're not seeing His Lordship?

124
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,320
With them causing a scene,
we'd better get out of here.

125
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,980
Exactly.

126
00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:25,460
Besides, they might not be targeting me.

127
00:08:25,460 --> 00:08:27,220
What do you mean?

128
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:30,000
They might be targeting Lord Huaiyang.

129
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,200
- Where is His Lordship?
- Their carriage has left.

130
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,750
It's ridiculous.

131
00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:36,960
This is a joint petition from
12 trade guild members.

132
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,460
Please give it to His Lordship.

133
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:42,300
[Petition]

134
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,846
Merchants only see profit In everything they do.
[Please favor the guild's annual tax and offer more benefits]

135
00:08:45,846 --> 00:08:48,080
If His Lordship punishes me,

136
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,730
the Zhenzhou authority will have to change its policies. That will upset the people.

137
00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:57,280
If he doesn't punish me, those merchants will definitely make unreasonable demands.

138
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,510
That's not our problem but Lord Huaiyang's.

139
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:06,590
Honey, is there a problem? Are you not feeling well?

140
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,570
Just now, I bumped into something.

141
00:09:11,570 --> 00:09:13,360
It was too bumpy.

142
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:22,350
Dear, that's Lord Huaiyang
we are talking about.

143
00:09:22,350 --> 00:09:25,109
Even if those members overstep,

144
00:09:25,109 --> 00:09:30,000
His Lordship just needs to be a bit firm,
and they'll back off.

145
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:36,900
If Lord Huaiyang really resorts
to rough measures...

146
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:41,630
If I were him, I wouldn't do that.

147
00:09:41,630 --> 00:09:43,950
Do you have any good ideas?

148
00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:50,580
Great. Great.

149
00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:52,990
The colors are applied well,
the brushstrokes are strong,

150
00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:54,560
and the composition is exquisite.

151
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,110
What a magnificent
"Snowy Evening on the Broad Road".

152
00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:58,750
I'll take it.

153
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Mr. Jia. This painting has been sold.

154
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,110
Sold...

155
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:07,690
Sold? To whom?

156
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:12,780
Well...I made sure to come on the agreed day.

157
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:18,990
The buyer arrived as soon as
the market opened, and offered this price.

158
00:10:18,990 --> 00:10:21,590
She'll pick it up after it's mounted.

159
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:25,540
You know, I thought it was fate.

160
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,110
Fate?

161
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:31,350
What's fate worth?

162
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:34,430
She offered this price. I'll offer this price.

163
00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:37,540
So, this painting is mine.

164
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,280
I can see you really like this painting,

165
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,480
but I can't just back out and tell
the buyer that the highest bid won it.

166
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,800
How about this?

167
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,160
The buyer seems like a reasonable lady.

168
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,630
I'll introduce you to her.

169
00:10:56,630 --> 00:11:00,750
And you two can have tea and
a nice chat at the Zuixian Tavern.

170
00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:01,960
This will be your treat.

171
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,850
See if she'll let you have the painting.

172
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Alright.

173
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,870
Then, everyone will look good.

174
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:13,510
Yes. Yes.

175
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,860
Hi, Mrs. Xue. I've been waiting for you.

176
00:11:18,860 --> 00:11:22,510
Whenever your shop gets new fabrics,
I'm always the first to buy them.
-Yes. Exactly

177
00:11:22,510 --> 00:11:25,120
Tell me. What fabric do you have today?

178
00:11:25,130 --> 00:11:26,660
Rain silk brocade from Xizhou.

179
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:29,830
The weave is as delicate as rain threads,
perfect for jackets.

180
00:11:29,830 --> 00:11:32,730
And we only have one bolt.

181
00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:37,350
So it's better than Liu's watered gauze?

182
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:39,750
I'll take the rain silk brocade.

183
00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:43,440
Mrs. Xue, what a coincidence.

184
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,860
I'm here first.

185
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:51,200
If that's the case, I won't take what you love.

186
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,780
It's not that much.

187
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:58,500
Mrs. Cui, since you didn't join the trade
guild, how's your business doing lately?

188
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,330
You've hit the nail on the head.

189
00:12:00,330 --> 00:12:03,247
Someone invited me for business

190
00:12:03,247 --> 00:12:07,560
and reserved the best private room
at Zuixian Tavern for the morning.

191
00:12:09,410 --> 00:12:13,790
Right. I heard members of the trade guild

192
00:12:13,790 --> 00:12:16,440
haven't been eating, or sleeping well.

193
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,500
Yet here you are buying fabric, Mrs. Xue.

194
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:23,470
Then I guess your family
has figured out how to transport the porcelain.

195
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:33,560
I'd like to see who is doing business with her.

196
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:37,220
- Let's go.
- Mrs. Xue. Do you want the fabric?

197
00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:40,830
Mr. Jia, this way please.

198
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:45,510
This way, please.

199
00:12:45,510 --> 00:12:50,110
Mr. Jia, this is the buyer of the painting.

200
00:12:50,110 --> 00:12:52,710
I heard someone wants to
get the painting from me,

201
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:55,240
but I didn't expect it to be an old friend.

202
00:12:56,470 --> 00:13:01,220
Ms. Liu must have gone to great lengths
to see me.

203
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:04,580
So you know each other? That would be best.

204
00:13:04,580 --> 00:13:07,200
Whoever gets this painting will be good.

205
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,560
I'll leave you to it. Call me if you need anything.

206
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,470
I have nothing to talk about with her.

207
00:13:13,470 --> 00:13:16,440
It's just a painting. I don't want it now.

208
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,060
Mr. Jia, are you really sure about that?

209
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,070
True. The scenery in this painting mirrors your current situation.

210
00:13:26,070 --> 00:13:31,130
Not buying it to avoid troubling your family
is a wise choice.

211
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,910
What do you mean?

212
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,760
Mr. Jia, since you're here,

213
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,590
why not sit down,

214
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:47,830
and appreciate this painting with me?

215
00:13:47,830 --> 00:13:51,250
It might ease your mind.

216
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,800
That's right. Please, take your time to appreciate it.

217
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,400
I'll wait outside.

218
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,140
- Stay.
- Stay.

219
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:03,380
Alright. Let's make a deal.

220
00:14:03,380 --> 00:14:05,630
We'll only discuss the scenery in the painting.

221
00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:07,350
No business.

222
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:08,890
Deal.

223
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,200
This painting is called
"Snowy Evening on the Broad Road".

224
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,580
Mountain villagers lead
a horse team carrying goods

225
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,940
but encounter a severe snowstorm.

226
00:14:30,940 --> 00:14:34,260
When they reach the deep mountains,

227
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:38,060
they might run out of food and starve.

228
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,180
Honestly, what does that mean?

229
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:45,050
When resources are exhausted,

230
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:46,810
eating horse meat is also an option.

231
00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:52,420
But which horse will they
choose to slaughter first?

232
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:55,900
A horse team can't do without a lead horse,
so the lead horse must be spared.

233
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,900
The young horse is strong
and has great potential.

234
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,850
But the second old horse after the lead horse,

235
00:15:03,850 --> 00:15:07,450
which bears the most burden and suffers the most,

236
00:15:07,450 --> 00:15:10,400
has a bleak future.

237
00:15:11,530 --> 00:15:12,830
Wrong, wrong.

238
00:15:12,830 --> 00:15:16,080
This painting focuses on the
snow and mountains, not the horses.

239
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,920
Let her continue.

240
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,840
Why does the second horse have a bleak future?

241
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,980
When the snowstorm hits, the lead horse
has its own survival strategies.

242
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:31,710
The young horse, though weak, isn't burdened.

243
00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:34,950
Only the second horse,

244
00:15:34,950 --> 00:15:39,340
which isn't as strong as the lead horse, carries a load equal to the lead horse's.

245
00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:42,800
With each layer of snow, the risk increases.

246
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,580
While other horses can endure,
this second horse can't afford any delay.

247
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:51,950
If this continues, the second horse

248
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:54,940
is likely to be the first one to die.

249
00:15:57,940 --> 00:16:03,160
If the villagers spread the load
among these horses and work together,

250
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,730
they might make it through the snowfield.

251
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:13,780
Mr. Jia, you must know best how the burden is shared.

252
00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:18,580
As for the so-called unity,
is it about sharing the hardships,

253
00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:23,580
or is it just an excuse from the lead horse
to prevent others from surpassing it?

254
00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:27,250
After all, if I can figure it out,

255
00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:31,970
so can you and others, for sure.

256
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:42,580
Yes. That's right. I didn't expect such a simple painting

257
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:45,940
to have such deep meaning.

258
00:16:45,940 --> 00:16:48,750
I've gained a lot from it.

259
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:50,610
Ms. Liu.

260
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,900
Although you are a woman,

261
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:56,220
you truly have a great understanding of paintings.

262
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:57,800
I admire you.

263
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,490
Are you saying that women
are only meant to manage the household,

264
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:03,770
and make meals and bed?

265
00:17:03,770 --> 00:17:09,510
Are women not allowed to appreciate
fine art, and elegant porcelain?

266
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:12,740
What men can do, women can do too.

267
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:16,680
The only real difference
lies in people's hearts.

268
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:21,580
Mr. Jia, if you buy this painting,
we'll become fellow art enthusiasts.

269
00:17:21,580 --> 00:17:25,860
From now on, we can appreciate
this "The Broad Road" painting

270
00:17:25,860 --> 00:17:28,100
and the beauty of art together.

271
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:31,430
Mr. Jia, if you could introduce more art enthusiasts,

272
00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:33,400
we could enjoy it together.

273
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,500
It would turn personal joy into shared joy.

274
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:38,300
Wouldn't that be wonderful?

275
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,100
Mr. Jia, since you bought "The Broad Road"
painting for a high price,

276
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,370
please take good care of it.

277
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,030
Gentlemen, please.

278
00:17:50,790 --> 00:17:55,600
I didn't expect Ms. Liu to transfer
this painting to me.

279
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,780
Congratulations, Mr. Jia.

280
00:18:00,030 --> 00:18:04,740
Madam, will Mr. Jia's words
really help you join the trade guild?

281
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Let's go home. Good news will come.

282
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,580
I saw and heard everything myself
at Zuixian Tavern.

283
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:22,610
Mr. Jia spent a fortune to buy the painting
"The Broad Road" from Liu.

284
00:18:22,610 --> 00:18:24,970
They were talking in a private room

285
00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:27,710
and had a middleman involved.

286
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:30,220
Yes, Master. I also saw it clearly.

287
00:18:30,220 --> 00:18:32,550
- Let them through.
- On the land in Shuangling Village,

288
00:18:32,550 --> 00:18:34,550
Liu allowed a convoy to pass.

289
00:18:34,550 --> 00:18:37,270
It's most likely from the Jia family.

290
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:42,030
They were talking at Zuixian Tavern.

291
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:46,640
Jia even found a middleman
to persuade Liu Miantang.

292
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,640
They were talking about "The Broad Road"
or something.

293
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,450
Also, there was a lot of silver on the table.

294
00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:58,340
I mean it. My wife saw and heard everything.

295
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:00,410
It can't be wrong.

296
00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:07,870
Young Mr. He.

297
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,450
We have no tea here.

298
00:19:21,450 --> 00:19:26,710
We haven't found the trade guild's
main transport route.

299
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:29,200
We didn't talk much,
and there was nothing we could do.

300
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,210
So we didn't feel thirsty.

301
00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:33,900
Right. Not thirsty at all.

302
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,390
Come. Serve the tea.

303
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,400
Mr. Jia probably feels thirsty

304
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,070
because he talks a lot.

305
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:52,820
Do you have any good ideas
about our main transport route?

306
00:19:54,130 --> 00:19:56,340
I'm also worried about this.

307
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:59,370
What good ideas could I have?

308
00:20:02,550 --> 00:20:04,450
Everyone is at a loss.

309
00:20:04,450 --> 00:20:08,440
But just sitting here and staring at each other

310
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,360
isn't going to help.

311
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:11,790
True.

312
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:13,370
How about this?

313
00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:16,840
Let's all go to Shuangling Village,

314
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,310
take a look, and see that "broad road".

315
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:24,230
Okay.

316
00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:25,930
That's a good idea.

317
00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:31,170
Maybe we can see Liu in Shuangling Village.

318
00:20:31,170 --> 00:20:34,030
We can also take this chance to meet
and talk to her.

319
00:20:34,030 --> 00:20:36,850
- Yes.
- Mr. Jia, what do you think?

320
00:20:36,850 --> 00:20:39,680
What's the point of going to a remote village?

321
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,210
Besides, Liu might not even be there.

322
00:20:43,210 --> 00:20:46,030
Mr. Jia, that's not what I meant.

323
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:49,860
We might not necessarily see Liu.

324
00:20:49,860 --> 00:20:51,880
That place is flat.

325
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,960
Perhaps we can find a suitable place
to build a road.

326
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,150
As long as we work together,

327
00:20:58,150 --> 00:21:02,970
we will certainly find a solution.

328
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:06,230
Mr. Jia, what do you think?

329
00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:13,160
The route in Shuangling Village
is the only flat one nearby.

330
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:18,150
And also, building a road would cost a lot of money,

331
00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:21,710
and consume much time.

332
00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:24,070
No route would be better than the current one.

333
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:27,170
So, I think that is not a good idea.

334
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:29,580
I suggest we give it another thought.

335
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:31,780
Give it another thought.

336
00:21:31,780 --> 00:21:34,670
There might be a better solution. A better solution.

337
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:37,170
By sowing discord.

338
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:40,210
Since you already know, I won't tell you more.

339
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:43,620
No, no. Dear. I'm not that smart.

340
00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:48,180
Please tell me clearly how to help our Yushao Porcelain Shop

341
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:52,540
join the trade guild openly and honestly.

342
00:21:53,230 --> 00:21:58,820
Buying the land in Shuangling Village seems
like a way to control the land transport route.

343
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:02,410
Actually, I don't intend to trouble
the merchants.

344
00:22:02,410 --> 00:22:07,400
It's just that they are stubborn,
and refuse to do business fairly with me.

345
00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:12,700
So you sowed discord among them?

346
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:14,580
Merchants prioritize profit.

347
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:19,990
Even long-term partners don't have solid trust.

348
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:26,000
Especially when they hear that someone has secretly allied with me for transport benefits,

00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:34,060
Moreover, I let the so-called Jia's convoy
pass.

351
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:36,510
But Lord Huaiyang didn't cut off
their livelihood.

352
00:22:36,510 --> 00:22:39,710
He only made them wait an extra month.

353
00:22:39,710 --> 00:22:44,400
Will they betray the trade guild,
for this momentary loss?

354
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,840
Those merchants are all sharp.

355
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,530
Every day goods are stored in the warehouse

356
00:22:50,530 --> 00:22:53,220
is a day of real money lost.

357
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:58,070
Now, they all think Mr. Jia and I
are in collusion.

358
00:22:58,070 --> 00:23:02,170
At present, the most anxious

359
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:04,600
are those from the trade guild, except for the He family.

360
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,990
Especially the Xue family,
who hold the third leadership role.

361
00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:11,650
They will definitely come seeking help from me.

362
00:23:11,650 --> 00:23:15,890
Dear, your reasoning is very clear.

363
00:23:17,130 --> 00:23:22,970
As long as we open the door with Mr. Xue,
the others in the trade guild won't stay idle.

364
00:23:22,970 --> 00:23:26,020
Once they get tangible benefits from me,

365
00:23:26,020 --> 00:23:30,690
who would risk offending
Lord Huaiyang to cause trouble?

366
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:37,000
This way, we will gain benefits, and Lord
Huaiyang's troubles won't affect our family.

367
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,680
Our family can't get by without you, dear.

You can't blame me.

It's all Liu's fault. She's going too far!

380

Besides, aren't we close with the Prefect?

381
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,310
Why isn't he doing anything now?

00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,880
Are you making crab roe rice?

526
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,410
Yes.

527
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:13,670
My mother taught me this.

528
00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:17,300
When I was a child, she often made this dish
for my father and me.

529
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:23,050
She said crab roe rice is best enjoyed
with someone you love.

530
00:35:25,260 --> 00:35:29,180
We've bought a lot of crabs in the past,

531
00:35:29,180 --> 00:35:32,880
but I don't remember you ever making this.

532
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,620
Why do you suddenly want to make it now?

533
00:35:35,620 --> 00:35:37,990
Are the scallions chopped?

534
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:39,820
Yes, they're ready.

535
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Here.

536
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:54,680
What's wrong? It's not hot.

537
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,830
Soft and glutinous. Delicious.

538
00:37:07,140 --> 00:37:09,320
Tasty, right?

539
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,360
I'll serve myself.

540
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,450
Why do you need to be coaxed
just to eat like a child?

541
00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:26,070
Madam, dinner is ready.

542
00:37:26,070 --> 00:37:27,590
Okay.

543
00:37:27,590 --> 00:37:29,380
I'll be right back.

544
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,560
Go ahead, taste it.

545
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,520
How is it?

546
00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:20,840
Even more delicious than
the usual June yellow crabs.

547
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,300
I simmered the male crab's roe
to make crab fat,

548
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:25,320
and stir-fried the female crab's roe.

549
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,470
I used black pig lard for flavor,
and mixed it with steaming hot rice.

550
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:29,470
The hotter, the better.

551
00:38:29,470 --> 00:38:32,090
That's how to bring out the original taste.

552
00:38:33,190 --> 00:38:34,830
Exactly.

553
00:38:41,410 --> 00:38:46,880
Madam, even with your old injury, you
insisted on picking out the crab roe yourself.

554
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,360
Next time, just ask me to do it.

555
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,050
It's okay.

556
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:17,150
Is it hurt?

557
00:39:22,570 --> 00:39:23,880
The rice will get cold.

558
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,040
It took me so long to make it. My arms are sore.

559
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:38,010
Who's that at this late hour?

560
00:39:38,010 --> 00:39:39,670
Coming.

561
00:39:39,670 --> 00:39:40,840
Who is it?

562
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,630
It's me, Physician Zhao.

563
00:39:43,630 --> 00:39:52,820
Today, I bought some crabs and
stopped by to let Ms. Liu have a taste.

564
00:39:52,820 --> 00:39:57,260
I-I didn't know why
Physician Zhao would bring crabs today.

565
00:39:58,030 --> 00:40:00,280
I invited him.

566
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,970
It's better to save trouble.

567
00:40:01,970 --> 00:40:04,860
Honey, you go meet Physician Zhao. I'll go to the backyard.

568
00:40:04,860 --> 00:40:06,480
Okay.

569
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,000
Master.

570
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:35,040
Where is she?

571
00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:38,280
Who?

572
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,360
Well, where's Ms. Liu?

573
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,340
Why do you care?

574
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,970
Do you even know where your true home is?

575
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,410
Cousin Lian asked me to bring this to you.

576
00:40:53,490 --> 00:40:55,190
Good for her for finding you.

577
00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:57,730
Although she didn't say anything, I could see in her eyes

578
00:40:57,730 --> 00:40:59,990
that she was thinking,
"You, Zhao Quan, are no good.

579
00:40:59,990 --> 00:41:02,010
All men are the same."

580
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,520
Give it to me.

581
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:13,840
So delicious!

582
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,140
This wasn't made by Nanny Li, was it?

583
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:18,340
Move your chopsticks away.

584
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:25,380
W-What do you mean?

585
00:41:25,380 --> 00:41:26,960
It wasn't made for you.

586
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,780
If you want to eat, go back home.

587
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,050
Are you jealous?

588
00:41:35,050 --> 00:41:37,620
No. It's mine.

589
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:39,620
Then why don't you share some with me?

590
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:42,460
These are for you. Have as much as you like.

591
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:48,930
Are you really jealous?

592
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:52,530
Then it's right.

593
00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:54,220
Right about what? I'm not jealous.

594
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:56,830
You are not interested in her,
and in her confusion, she mistakes you for her husband.

595
00:41:56,830 --> 00:42:00,110
she mistakes you for her husband.

596
00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:03,440
This doesn't even count
as the start of a romance.

597
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,240
What if she meets a man
who truly wins her heart...

598
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:07,620
That won't be you.

599
00:42:07,620 --> 00:42:09,260
Why not?

600
00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:12,170
I'm so charming. I can be the one.

601
00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:13,900
Give me a bite.

602
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,920
What are you doing?

603
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,880
Nanny Li, clear the dishes.

604
00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:46,010
Since Ms. Liu joined the trade guild, she's
taken over the He's imperial tribute business.

605
00:42:46,010 --> 00:42:48,140
She's been well-regarded by the other members.

606
00:42:48,140 --> 00:42:51,520
Business at the Yushao Porcelain Shop
is thriving.

607
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,660
This month, it brought in over
300 taels of silver.

608
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,520
My Lord?

609
00:43:01,590 --> 00:43:03,230
My Lord?

610
00:43:05,010 --> 00:43:09,070
Yes. She's more interesting
than I initially thought.

611
00:43:09,070 --> 00:43:13,340
Ms. Liu has diligently taken on
the role of hostess for the Cui family.

612
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:17,970
But what if she finds out the truth later on...

613
00:43:20,530 --> 00:43:24,330
Please forgive me for being blunt, My Lord,

614
00:43:24,330 --> 00:43:27,920
but have you started falling for her?

615
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,990
I don't want to trouble her with rules.

616
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:31,590
So let her be.

617
00:43:31,590 --> 00:43:35,990
Let her earn enough for her future.

618
00:43:35,990 --> 00:43:42,380
Once I catch Lu Wen,
this playing house game will be over.

619
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,450
Now I understand, My Lord.

620
00:43:59,450 --> 00:44:09,800
