The Young Lord from Duke Qi Manor is here.

Saying since he's studied so much at our home academy all these years,
8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,800
he came especially to show his gratitude.
9
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
He brought gifts for each of the Young Masters and Misses,
10

He said the Young Lord, when he sent him to purchase items for the Imperial exam,
13
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800
had him procure a nice brush for you.
14

He went to pay visit to Master and now he should be at Old Madam's room.

21

I'll chant and pray for you outside.

And you've got the two children with no one watching them.

Once Ye'er enters the exam yard, he should have nothing weighing on his mind.

You shouldn't distract him.

you won't just abandon me, right?

For you and the two children, I've already gone to a deadlock with my family.

The ink and tray are wrapped in oiled paper.

Please be careful when you open the oiled paper so you don't soil your hands.

If ink taints the exam paper, that's big trouble.

She just tipped me a few coins and took a few little items.

I didn't even see the Sixth Miss in person.

Even if she wanted to tell you something, she didn't have a way to send it with me.

That sewing shop is quite diligent.
93

I told them to make two pairs of knee guards, and he shoved an extra pair in for me.

I put them all in the basket.

For your son, it's nothing bad.
170
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:37,410
Go on. Pray what?
171
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,550
I have work to do.
172
00:16:17,570 --> 00:16:19,500
Why don't you eat?
173
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Second Son is taking the test. I made a wish.
174
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,110
I'm abstaining from baths and burning incense to pray for blessing.
175
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:29,560
I only eat two meals a day.
176
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,900
You've already spoiled him rotten.
177
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:37,470
Even if you treat him even better, he still won't shine.
178
00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:40,420
He's only a child still.
179
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:42,330
No matter how he wrongs,
180
00:16:42,330 --> 00:16:44,730
I will still, on Sister Bai's behalf,
181
00:16:44,730 --> 00:16:46,730
dote on him more.
182
00:16:46,730 --> 00:16:49,730
Minister, don't nitpick with that child either.
183
00:16:50,530 --> 00:16:53,370
When others go to the exam yard, they call out and embrace.
184
00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:56,470
But he went without as much as a notice.
185
00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:59,490
How does he regard this father of his?
186
00:17:02,090 --> 00:17:05,310
I imagine it's because Second Son is worried you'd might worry
187
00:17:05,310 --> 00:17:07,340
he didn't want to call any the attention to it.
188
00:17:07,340 --> 00:17:11,780
it's not like you don't know that child is always so thoughtful.
189
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:14,800
Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, these great literary scholars. (T/N two of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, 3rd century CE, scholars, writers and musicians)
190
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,090
Which one wasn't poetic and passionate?
191
00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:21,550
Not like you. So just like him be.
192
00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:25,500
Just a petty son and how can he be compared to Masters Ji and Ruan?
193
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:28,240
Don't stick gold to his face now.
194
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,840
Since he passed the preliminary to make it to the exam, I'll be easy on him for a few days.
195
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,510
After the exam, I'll deal with him.
196
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:41,360
Try this. I made this especially for you.
197
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,710
Hurry and eat.
198
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,330
Little chicken eats rice gain.
199
00:17:56,990 --> 00:17:59,660
Feed it slowly.
200
00:17:59,660 --> 00:18:02,610
And a big bean.
201
00:18:03,670 --> 00:18:07,500
Good. Play well at home with Nanny.
202
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,490
Where are you going?
203
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:13,420
I just feel anxious.
204
00:18:13,420 --> 00:18:17,440
So I wanted to go to the temple and pray for Second Young Master.
205
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,060
What did he say before he left the door?
206
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:23,810
He said for you to stay at home and watch the children, and don't show your face.
207
00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:26,460
So you don't get discovered by people from Gu House.
208
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:31,630
Go back. These few exam days, you just stay home.
209
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:50,910
Put the rice in.
210
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:56,270
Sit.
211
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:03,880
These few days with Brothers Bai and Feng taking Imperial exams,
212
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,740
with only two gone, the whole house is suddenly
213
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:10,210
so quiet now.
214
00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:15,570
Replying to Grandmother, my mother says these next few days she's going to abstain from bathing and shut her doors to devote herself to prayer.
215
00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:18,520
Others are not allowed to make a ruckus.
216
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,720
I hear Big Madam is praying to Confucius, Buddhist and Taoist deities, all three at once.
217
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,600
I don't know which is the divine spirit?
218
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,440
Your mother isn't devoted to the gods or Buddha.
219
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,640
But I hear everyone in Linqi Pavilion is holding a copy of Book of Changes lately. (T/N "Yijing", the classic ancient divination text employing cleromancy)
220
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,250
Even those who are illiterate are holding a compass and making calculations. (T/N divination methods)
221
00:19:40,250 --> 00:19:43,980
Who knows? Maybe a person's life is already fated at birth.
222
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:46,580
Noble is noble, and lowly is lowly.
223
00:19:46,580 --> 00:19:49,050
No matter how you calculate, it's all useless.
224
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:52,700
Fifth Sister, who are you talking about here?
225
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:54,430
I wasn't talking about anyone.
226
00:19:54,430 --> 00:19:58,670
Sister, we are just chatting idly while gathered by Grandmother.
227
00:19:58,670 --> 00:20:00,980
Why are you getting all upset for?
228
00:20:00,980 --> 00:20:02,380
I . . .
229
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,960
Grandmother, actually, no matter what my mother prays for,
230
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,420
it's all for the sake of the whole family.
231
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,560
During the time of your brothers' exam time, we must have the family in harmony.
232
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,580
You sisterhood must help your main mother watch over the house.
233
00:20:36,930 --> 00:20:38,740
Yes.
234
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,130
Miss, the sun's about to go down. How about--
235
00:20:45,130 --> 00:20:49,700
Didn't I tell you? You're not allowed to mention the word "down' these days!
236
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:51,240
Can't you remember this?
237
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,960
A petty air is just petty.
238
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,820
If even he can pass the exam by abstaining from using some words,
239
00:20:56,820 --> 00:20:59,670
then all the monks in the temple would be top scorers. (T/N vow of silence, naturally prevents ALL words.)
240
00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:02,570
Even if this Brother passes with high marks, the concubine-born sister?
241
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:04,900
She still can't social-climb her way into the ducal house!
242
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:06,600
You . . .
243
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,420
How can you say such shameless words?
244
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:12,860
Father already said, no one is allowed to fight over legitimate or concubine line anymore at home.
245
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:17,080
The way you speak, you're disregarding Father.
246
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,350
That act again.
247
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:21,720
Nothing new?
248
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,700
Just cry then. After you're done crying, go tattle.
249
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:26,080
I'm not scared.
250
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,460
You . . .
251
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,700
Fourth Sister, don't cry anymore.
252
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:45,550
Everyone's worried about the exam now.
253
00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:50,000
Later, if Father hears you, he might blame you.
254
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,520
[ Exam Courtyard ]
255
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:42,780
Sixth Miss, it's very cold. Don't catch a chill.
256
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:46,560
Xiaotao, add a cloak for Miss.
257
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:53,150
What are you looking at, Miss?
258
00:22:54,650 --> 00:22:56,950
Fan House has lights on.
259
00:22:56,950 --> 00:23:00,240
I hear it was ordered by the Duke and Duchess of Qi to hang them for luck.
260
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,690
Miss.
261
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,760
They all say Young Lord is loved by a million.
262
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Other than parents, he has others thinking of him.
263
00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:35,370
Brilliantly white like snow on the mountain.
264
00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:40,620
Shining brightly as the moon between clouds.
265
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:17,580
[ Exam Courtyard ]
266
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:26,570
Don't worry, Mother. Second Brother is not a question.
267
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,430
Why isn't he coming out?
268
00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:32,900
The door's not open yet.
269
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:36,370
I know. I'm just anxious.
270
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,330
They're coming out.
271
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,070
Brother Bai is coming out.
272
00:25:01,070 --> 00:25:03,360
You have to make an exception and go drink at Fan House with me.
273
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,310
Father. Mother.
274
00:25:05,310 --> 00:25:06,930
Was it cold in the exam courtyard?
275
00:25:06,930 --> 00:25:10,100
Your family's waiting scratching their ears.
276
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,910
What's he saying there? Hurry and come now.
277
00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:17,420
- Second Brother.
-Feng'er.
278
00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:19,550
Father. Mother.
279
00:25:19,550 --> 00:25:22,900
Bai'er. How did the exam go?
280
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:24,570
Young Master. Over here.
281
00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:26,250
Young Master.
282
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:28,760
Let me. How did it go, Second Brother?
283
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,330
I'm sure he can place at the top!
284
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:34,670
You must be so exhausted.
285
00:25:34,670 --> 00:25:37,270
I'll help you recuperate.
286
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:40,620
- Let's go.
- Did the scholar guess it right?
287
00:25:40,620 --> 00:25:44,090
You've only tested for three days and you've thinned out three rounds.
288
00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:50,370
Were the exam topics very different from what you studied for?
289
00:25:50,370 --> 00:25:52,920
You needn't worry so much.
290
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,560
I'm talking to you.
291
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Mother. Let me catch my breath first.
292
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,450
I was holed up in that shell of a room for three days. I need to get some fresh air.
293
00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:05,330
Alright, then. Get some air. Let's go.
294
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:06,890
Get in the carriage.
295
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:39,600
♫ One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree,
beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord ♫
296
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,840
What did you see? You're so happy.
297
00:26:43,850 --> 00:26:47,020
I didn't get to see Mother for three days and I've missed you.
♫ Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine,
the wind and rain do not affect them completely ♫
298
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:49,490
Now I'm heading home.
299
00:26:49,490 --> 00:26:51,860
I don't know why but I just feel happy.
300
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:59,520
That mouth of yours is growing sweeter.
♫ In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin,
from on high, your cold tears of distress flow ♫
301
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:09,560
♫ Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,
not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫
302
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,170
Xueniang's man Chiwu was sent off for Yangzhou by Mistress Lin today,
303
00:27:27,170 --> 00:27:29,800
saying it's to procure some items.
304
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:32,910
Such timing she picks.
305
00:27:32,910 --> 00:27:36,590
The entire family is waiting for exam results and there's no room to think about anything else,
306
00:27:36,590 --> 00:27:38,850
so no one will notice her.
307
00:27:38,850 --> 00:27:41,470
Do we go see your aunt later today?
308
00:27:41,470 --> 00:27:45,590
Not later today, right now. You go to the inn right away.
309
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:48,250
Tell my aunt the snake's already shown itself.
310
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:52,310
As long as she follows that Chiwu, she won't need to worry that she won't find some clues.
311
00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:56,740
Miss, you wanted me to pretend like I was sending your aunt back to Yangzhou secretly late at night,
312
00:27:56,740 --> 00:27:59,680
and installing your aunt at the inn.
313
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,490
At the time, I didn't know what you were trying to do.
314
00:28:02,490 --> 00:28:04,730
Now you know then?
315
00:28:06,430 --> 00:28:09,620
Fishing requires a hook and a bait.
316
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:13,600
Now, we just wait for news.
317
00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:55,650
This morning's incense is burning so beautifully.
318
00:28:55,650 --> 00:28:57,680
Great, like a lotus flower!
319
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,240
That's a great auspicious sign from above.
320
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,800
I bet our Bai'er must have placed at the top!
321
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,810
Yes, yes, top placement.
322
00:29:06,810 --> 00:29:09,020
Why isn't Ru'er still not out yet?
323
00:29:09,020 --> 00:29:12,700
We've finally made it through to the results posting and she's still so lazy?
324
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,220
Hurry and rush Fifth Miss!
325
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:18,190
Winning or losing is at one stroke.
326
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:21,340
Bai'er must win for me. Best if my son places at the top,
327
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:25,010
and that little rabbit's name falls to the bottom. Then I'll see--eek!
328
00:29:25,010 --> 00:29:27,460
- Big Madam!
- Big Madam!
329
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:32,670
You put too much power into that stroke. It's off-scale.
330
00:29:36,250 --> 00:29:38,830
You have something on your mind to break through.
331
00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:41,850
If you can't write well, rest a bit.
332
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,510
I can write well.
333
00:29:45,270 --> 00:29:48,120
You're worried about the Young Lord's result.
334
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,490
How can you write well?
335
00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:59,210
N-No. I... I'm not.
336
00:29:59,950 --> 00:30:02,000
I've lived to such an age,
337
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,020
at least I can tell about these things.
338
00:30:06,020 --> 00:30:12,270
The night before the big exam, Young Lord came under pretext of paying respects to come present gifts here.
339
00:30:12,270 --> 00:30:16,630
But in reality, he was just trying to send a gift to you.
340
00:30:16,630 --> 00:30:20,950
That's putting a louse on top of a bald head. So obvious!
341
00:30:26,610 --> 00:30:29,310
You're the flesh on my heart.
342
00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:34,890
Of course I want you to have the best match in the world.
343
00:30:34,890 --> 00:30:40,750
Qi Yuanruo is a great person and his family is great too.
344
00:30:41,250 --> 00:30:45,390
Just that the family is too great and the parents are strict.
345
00:30:45,930 --> 00:30:52,800
If you go over there, first, you may not rise to be the main wife,
346
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,780
and second, even if you rise to be the main wife,
347
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:59,760
your days will still just be full of suffering.
348
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,470
On this, you'll have to be clear-minded.
349
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,800
Princess Pingning is so proud and arrogant.
350
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,000
His prospects are far-reaching and too rich to be a good match.
351
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,170
Your granddaughter understands all that.
352
00:31:17,950 --> 00:31:20,420
It's just a bit hard to take.
353
00:31:32,650 --> 00:31:37,630
Big Madam rushed out and wasn't careful, so she slipped and sprained her foot.
354
00:31:37,630 --> 00:31:40,700
She's fussing about calling a physician here.
355

356
00:31:42,940 --> 00:31:46,750
Whether you go see it or not, the rankings won't change.
357
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:48,580
Old Madam is right.
358
00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:51,820
Master said to have Fifth Miss go and look.
359
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:54,760
But Big Madam just insists on going personally.
360

She's fussing about it now.
361
00:31:57,510 --> 00:32:01,290

362
00:32:01,290 --> 00:32:03,560
The Minister does not find it convenient to leave.
363
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,570
He needs to send a messenger, and you're my messenger.
364
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:13,430
Go take a look at the grandsons' result on behalf of the grandmother. That's reasonable and proper.

Since the old days, Bianjing has had the custom of picking out son-in-laws before the posts.
368
00:32:42,740 --> 00:32:45,580
Those people are waiting eagerly for the day the results are posted.
369
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:49,660
Watching outside the exam courtyard, seeing who passed, and they snatch him into their own carriage!

Thus forcing him to marry their own daughter!
371
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,620
We must be careful so our Second Son isn't snatched away.
372
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:59,540
Those people are mostly town peddlers, merchants of the land.
373
00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:01,970
Don't mention merchants again!
374
00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:09,050
A merchant is one thing.

But Second Son's temper.
376

You know, if he's bent on being stubborn,
377
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,540
I don't know who he would pick,
378
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:23,530
and it will affect his future career as an official.
379
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:27,400
He's keeping a singer outside.
380
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,160
Did he think about his government career then?
381
00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:39,280
If we can get our Second Son to chase that woman away, that would be great.
382

But with his temperament?
383
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:44,030
He surely won't be willing.
384
00:33:44,030 --> 00:33:45,920
He dares?
385
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:52,460
Whether he passes this exam or not, he must separate from that woman regardless.

And also, no one passes the exam on first try.

He's got that unique air about him.

00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,200
I mean, if Heng'er likes one of them, we should look into it,
511
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,600
see if the girl is promised to another.
512
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,400
Are you senile?
513
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,600
Does their house have a noble title?

[ Exam rosters ]
515
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:25,500
He passed.
516
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:34,200
Second Brother. Actually, not passing isn't such a big deal.
517
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,300
I'll accompany you and study a few more years.
518
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:42,900
Then, we should return.
519
00:42:44,540 --> 00:42:47,010
I don't want to go anywhere.
520
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,000
Actually, there aren't many like that Su House.
521
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Most don't pass.
522
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,400
Even the Duke Qi Manor one, theirs didn't pass either.
523
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,400
I finally know.
524
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,600
Why my maternal grandfather, back then,
525
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,800
insisted on marrying my mother into the Marquis Manor.
526
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,800
Those merchant families snatching top scorers are like my Bai House.
527
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,580
All for the daughters' next half of their lives.
528
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:24,200
I had thought I had higher resolve than others.
529
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,400
I didn't imagine,
530
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,000
that I failed to roster.
531
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,200
And it turns I am no different than they are.

00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,800
Second Brother, you are the legitimate heir of the Marquis!Manor.
533
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,000
You are different from the rest!
534
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,400
I am not much different than the rest.
535
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,000
You are different from them indeed.
536
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,700
You only came out of your resolve.
537
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,600
And this resolve has dissipated.
538
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,200
You didn't make it on the first try and there's a next time.
539
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,700

- Second Brother.
- Hey, slower.

00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,900
- Son.
- Mother.

My son. You didn't disappoint me!

You made it worthwhile that I gave birth to you and raised you!

My son.
547
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:39,800
Changbai. You've added honor to the Sheng House.

00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000
I have not put to shame Father's hope in me.

Don't you say that. You're just the best!

Hurry. Hurry and ease my son with some food and drinks.

Let's hold a celebration banquet. A banquet to thank the teacher!
552
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,600
Set off ten li of firecrackers. Bestow porridge and scatter coins! (T/N 10 li = 5 km or 3,1 US miles)

00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:57,800
Set off firecrackers?
554
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,600
Of course. It's such a happy event.

00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,800
Don't we need to set off the firecrackers to congratulate?
556

Ten li of firecrackers!

Great then.

Big Madam will just be more haughty now.

Today at our family banquet, we'll all chime in to celebrate.

You're raising a ruckus,

so the entire capital knows that the Sheng son passed?
573
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:31,400
They all studied at the private academy in our house.
574
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,660
Young Lord Qi didn't pass.
575
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:35,600
Second Son of Gu House didn't pass either.

577
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,800
Is that to give Duke and Duchess Qi

Have them come back.
581
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,400
We'll close our doors and windows. That firecrackers and porridge donation,
582
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,250
we won't hold it and we won't set it off!
583
00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:05,100
Living in the capital is so stifling.
584
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:07,600
Princes and dukes, noble clans, all squeezed together.
585
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,800
And we have to be sensitive to how others feel. This is worse than Yangzhou.
586
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,200
You.
587
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,400
Big Madam, don't feel deflated.
588
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,000
- We can close the doors and celebrate and that's still the same.
- Right.
589
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,200
I've already prepared a congratulatory gift for Second Brother.
590
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,300
I've been waiting for him to place on the top roster to gift it to him.
591
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:29,200
You're the sensible one, Ming girl. Better than your older sisters.
592
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,900
Fifth Sister also prepared a gift.
593
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:33,500
It's much more precious than mine.
594
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,200
When did I prepare a gift?
595
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,300
Old rules. I prepared yours.
596
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,200
You're the sensible one.
597
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,600
We need to make a marriage match for him or else he's going to be over the age at this rate we're dragging out.
598
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,970
This matter can't be rushed.
599
00:47:50,970 --> 00:47:53,200
Why did I insist on disapproving before?
600
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,300
Think.
601
00:47:55,300 --> 00:47:58,200
There's no hope for me to enter the central cabinet in this life.
602
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,800
At most, I muddle myself into a silver-green-colored grand advisor title.
603
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,510
If I can retire honorably at the court ranking of three, would be considered very respectful.
604
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:09,800
If Bai'er doesn't have his wife's family's assistance, how far can he go really?
605
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,800
If he's just a talented scholar,
606
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,300
then which house will be willing to come assist him?
607
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:19,000
Big Madam, you must not blame him for not setting a marriage prospect for Bai'er.
608
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,000
This is what I did to him back then too.
609
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,600
At the time, he passed and rostered,
610
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,700
and that's how I could afford the shame to propose marriage to you at your Wang House.
611
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:33,500
Mother is right.
612
00:48:33,500 --> 00:48:36,500
My Wang House is quite accomplished.
613
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:42,010
Mother. Yesterday, my sister came to visit.
614
00:48:42,010 --> 00:48:44,800
She brought her niece on her husband's side, Yun'er.
615
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,000
I saw that Yun'er has both great appearance and temperament.
616
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,200
I've seen Yun'er when she was little. She's pretty good indeed.
617
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,600
When she has someone she's fond of later on and about to marry,
618
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,100
let me know, so I can send a nice gift.
619
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:05,500
Yes.
620
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Bai'er rostered at a young age.
621
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,800
His talent is rare. What marriage?
622
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,400
Let us discuss this out slowly. We can't rush.
623
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,500
Yes, you are very right in that conclusion.
624
00:49:25,570 --> 00:49:27,800
How many times did I tell you?
625
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,300
Don't go roam around wildly before the exam and you wouldn't listen.
626
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:33,600
If you put that effort you have for wine and entertainment
627
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,800
into studying for the exam,
628
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,700
then today you might have been listed at the top too.
629
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:41,000
We wouldn't need them to wield their might at us.
630
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,600
You've caused me to be scolded by your father too,
631
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,350
saying I am too lax with you.
632
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,400
These last couple days, Father's been staying at Weirui Balcony.
633
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,200
He doesn't even come take a look at us.
634
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,900
Brother's the only one that didn't roster and it's implicated Mistress Lin and I to suffer too.
635
00:49:55,900 --> 00:49:59,400
And that chit Rulan. Her tail is about to point up to the sky!
636
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,000
Can't even walk straight.
637
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,600
One incompetent man makes three suffer.
638
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,200
Passing on first try at the exam is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
639
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,300
It's more common to not pass after seventeen or eighteen years still.
640
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:14,300
Then how did Second Brother pass?
641
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:17,800
Didn't you say your essays are better than his?
642
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,600
If I don't blame you, then I'm supposed to blame myself instead?
643
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,000
If I were a man and I could go out to take the exam,
644
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,400
who'd put hopes in you?
645
00:50:27,730 --> 00:50:31,000
Second Brother's sister is always burning incense and praying to Buddha for him.
646
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,800
Praying for him and doing needlework for him.
647
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,600
How great is my sister though? Even the knee guards for the exam yard were gifts from Minglan.
648
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,000
You're just thinking about reciting and writing poetry all day,
649
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,400
and marrying into a marquis house! Or else, fighting Rulan for attention?
650
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,800
Hopes in me?
651
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,800
You want me to do needlework for you?
652
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,400
You're always surrounded tightly by those witches in your room.
653
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,000
Why do you ask for me?
654
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,200
You all shut up.
655
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,200
What's the arguing for?
656
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,400
This isn't some great act. Some honorable deed.
657
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,800
If others hear you, you will have no honor either.
658
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:12,400
And you. You said you ran out of stamina for the test.
659
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,200
But you come back home, and you've got energy to argue with your sister?
660
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,800
Let me tell you. Your sister's talent is higher than Xie Daoyun! (T/N Exceptional woman of the 4th century - Eastern Jin Dynasty - poet, writer, calligrapher, scholar, debater)
661
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,700
What's wrong with her wanting to marry high?
662
00:51:20,700 --> 00:51:22,400
It's you instead.
663
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,000
If you can't pass the civil exam and can't get an official duty,
664
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,600
then you might have to depend on your sister's husband for support!
665
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,800
Who? Who wants another's support?
666
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,800
Among my good buddies, so many are sons of aristocrats and nobility.
667
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,800
Which one couldn't help me? Who needs my sister.
668
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,000
And you, Molan. Stop saying I didn't pass!
669
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,200
Next time I take the exam, I'm sure I'll pass!
670
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,200
Mother, look how he's scolding me.
671
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,000
You.
- Alright.
672
00:51:50,030 --> 00:51:53,630
Let me tell you, your father's gleeful lately and your look now,
673
00:51:53,630 --> 00:51:55,850
if it annoys him, he just won't come even more so!
674
00:51:55,850 --> 00:51:58,270
And I've got Yangzhou matters I'm busy with.
675
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,330
Wine, wine.
676
00:52:10,330 --> 00:52:12,550
You said it well!
677
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,100
Yes.
678
00:52:22,220 --> 00:52:24,660
There's a matter
679
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:26,940
that I don't understand, no matter what.
680
00:52:26,940 --> 00:52:30,820
Your essays? I know them.
681
00:52:30,820 --> 00:52:32,910
How can they not pass?
682
00:52:32,910 --> 00:52:35,510
Where was the loss?
683
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:38,800
It must be me.
684
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:46,290
I regarded myself too highly. Actually, my essays aren't so great.
685
00:52:48,670 --> 00:52:54,200
I hear, Duke and Duchess Qi.
686
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,360
The second day after the roster was posted, they went to pay a visit at the main proctor's home,
687
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,760
asking the reason why he didn't pass.
688
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,880
Did Marquis Gu not go and ask then?
689
00:53:12,210 --> 00:53:15,600
Princess Pingning of Duke Qi Manor.
690
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,450
She loves her son more than life.
691
00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:19,980
The elder in my home?
692
00:53:19,980 --> 00:53:23,140
He would rather that I bury myself in a hole and never come out to embarrass him!
693
00:53:23,140 --> 00:53:25,610
How would he possibly go and ask for me?
694
00:53:25,610 --> 00:53:29,050
Come, now. Drink wine.
695
00:53:43,370 --> 00:53:47,870
My father's only a fifth-ranking minor official in court.
696
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,670
He regards himself noble and virtuous. Never socializes or entertains.
697
00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:55,730
He only knows to press me to study to death and I'm a concubine-born at that!
698
00:53:55,730 --> 00:53:57,890
Those princes and nobles are born lucky!
699
00:53:57,890 --> 00:53:59,590
What's wrong with being a concubine-born?
700
00:53:59,590 --> 00:54:01,880
Are all legitimate heirs guaranteed of success?
701
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:07,080
Your elder brother at home, I've never seen him smile ever!
702
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,540
A man like him, even if he rosters high,
703
00:54:09,540 --> 00:54:12,580
he will only be faced with struggles at the government post.
704
00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:14,810
I think Elder Brother Youguang is right.
705
00:54:14,810 --> 00:54:17,270
You have to look at the situation clearly.
706
00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:19,960
His Majesty doesn't have a son. All the high ministers
707
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,670
are all dying to kneel inside the hall daily.
708
00:54:22,670 --> 00:54:26,820
Begging the Emperor to adopt from the Imperial clan. Prince Yong is vulgar.
709
00:54:26,820 --> 00:54:30,810
Prince Yan is capable. The world knows.
710
00:54:30,810 --> 00:54:33,800
You mean Prince Yan, he's going to be . . .
711
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,960
Just keep it to yourself. No need to say it aloud.
712
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,590
Yes, yes. I understand.
713
00:54:39,940 --> 00:54:41,810
Prince Yan is of noble birth.
714
00:54:41,810 --> 00:54:45,790
His mother's clan are third-generation high ministers. Glory and honor never-ending!
715
00:54:45,790 --> 00:54:48,330
All the men that work for him are all capable and fierce.
716
00:54:48,330 --> 00:54:52,280
I can't think of anyone else besides him in the Imperial court!
717
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:56,340
It's nice to be an Imperial clansman. You don't need the exam.
718
00:54:56,340 --> 00:54:58,640
You don't need to toil and study by the cold window.
719
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,060
[ Fan House ]
720
00:55:02,660 --> 00:55:05,080
[ Sheng Manor ]
721
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,130
Slowly.
722
00:55:17,580 --> 00:55:19,570
Where did you go?
723
00:55:19,570 --> 00:55:21,320
I've been waiting here all night without sleeping!
724
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,140
I was going to send someone to look for you but I was afraid your father would know and Weirui Balcony would have one against us.
725
00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:27,050
Where did you go?
726
00:55:27,050 --> 00:55:29,990
Before I left yesterday, didn't I tell you?
727
00:55:29,990 --> 00:55:33,630
Third Young Master Qiu wanted to invite good friends and wanted me to accompany him.
728
00:55:33,630 --> 00:55:36,980
I've always been like this, so why this alarm now?
729
00:55:36,980 --> 00:55:39,860
You're usually not coming home at night?
730
00:55:39,860 --> 00:55:43,470
Then did you go and sleep on some whore's bed last night?
731
00:55:44,550 --> 00:55:48,720
Mother, must you speak so ugly? Not a whore.
732
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:51,220
Flower-adorned beauty is what she is.
733
00:55:53,090 --> 00:55:55,120
You loser.
734
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:59,340
You fail to make the list, and you go to the brothel and drink wine?
735
00:55:59,340 --> 00:56:02,980
If your father finds out, what will happen? Have you thought it?
736
00:56:02,980 --> 00:56:05,520
So what if he finds out.
737
00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:09,240
Who is that Young Master Qiu?
738
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:12,470
His father. His older uncle.
739
00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:16,300
They are officials serving Prince Yan. The current monarch has no sons.
740
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:20,290
When Prince Yan ascends, he becomes the new Emperor.
741
00:56:20,290 --> 00:56:23,880
I have my reason to socialize with these friends.
742
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,950
Didn't you say if I didn't pass the exam,
743
00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:29,750
I will need my sister's husband's support?
744
00:56:29,750 --> 00:56:31,910
I just won't!
745
00:56:31,910 --> 00:56:34,070
Slower.
746
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,920
Prince Yan?
747
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,380
Hurry and make some sobering tonic for Third Young Master.
748
00:56:42,380 --> 00:56:45,000
Yes, don't worry, Mistress Lin.
749
00:56:54,150 --> 00:56:57,130
Marquis, you've come this early.
750
00:56:57,130 --> 00:57:01,580
Is it over the matter of your Second Son failing to roster?
751
00:57:02,250 --> 00:57:05,630
My humble son lacks talent and I knew he wouldn't pass.
752
00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:08,620
But if he wants to retake the exam, I must ask clearly.
753
00:57:08,620 --> 00:57:12,900
Where was he lacking, so he doesn't repeat this again?
754
00:57:14,710 --> 00:57:17,220
I really don't know how
755
00:57:17,220 --> 00:57:20,790
- I can even begin on this.
- Why?
756
00:57:21,730 --> 00:57:26,950
Yesterday, Duke and Duchess Qi came to ask too.
757
00:57:26,950 --> 00:57:29,820
Their Young Lord Qi,
758
00:57:29,820 --> 00:57:32,720
he's innately-talented and smart.
759
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:37,650
His essays are beautifully written, but they lack a backbone.
760
00:57:37,650 --> 00:57:43,660
If he can grind on it more, it's hopeful if he retakes later on.
761
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:47,940
Yes, yes. But what about my humble son's essay?
762
00:57:52,090 --> 00:57:55,920
This is where I sigh.
763
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:00,720
Your son's essays. I've seen them with the two other proctors.
764
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,940
They were considered excellent text and imposing in vigor.
765
00:58:05,940 --> 00:58:10,420
His writing reminds me of Duke Wenzheng's. (T/N Fan Zhongyan, scholar, poet, statesman of Song)
766
00:58:10,420 --> 00:58:12,140
That's an over-praise.
767
00:58:12,140 --> 00:58:17,130
So by rules, he should be listed.
768
00:58:17,130 --> 00:58:20,250
But then, why did he not end up on the roster?
769
00:58:40,850 --> 00:58:44,400
Find two men and go fetch that scum!
770
00:58:45,550 --> 00:58:50,730
Second Young Master is already back. He's drunk and asleep.
771
00:58:50,730 --> 00:58:54,950
He's got enough shame to drink wine? Beat him to wake him up!
772
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:56,860
I don't dare.
773
00:59:10,940 --> 00:59:13,160
That scum!
774
00:59:15,870 --> 00:59:18,360
You can still sleep?
775
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,600
Do you know what wreckage you have caused!
776
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,380
Do you!
777
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,310
Not passing the test is considering making wreckage?
778
00:59:31,310 --> 00:59:34,130
Does the law of Gu Family allow one to live?
779
00:59:34,130 --> 00:59:36,560
Who's that Yang Wuduan?
780
00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:41,680
You return to the capital to take the exam, but you indulge in the entertainment outlets.
781
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,620
It's one thing if you just make some lousy poetry. But you get yourself and drunk and say what?
782
00:59:45,620 --> 00:59:49,020
Passing the test isn't as good as attaching yourself to brothels?
783
00:59:49,020 --> 00:59:52,390
The Emperor made it absolute to disallow him to retake the test!
784
00:59:52,390 --> 00:59:54,390
But for a thing like that,
785
00:59:54,390 --> 00:59:56,330
you roll your tongue wildly?
786
00:59:57,260 --> 01:00:00,220
Scholar Wuduan is a rare talent.
787
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,190
Can't be that you're coming to beat me over his matter too?
788
01:00:05,190 --> 01:00:09,870
I can't beat you little scum?
789
01:00:09,870 --> 01:00:12,510
You went out and spoke wildly outside lamenting the injustice to Yang Wuduan.
790
01:00:12,510 --> 01:00:15,260
Those words went to the Emperor's ears.
791
01:00:15,260 --> 01:00:18,430
He had you scratched out from the top-three ranking!
792
01:00:18,430 --> 01:00:22,740
And he said you can only retake at age fifty like that Yang Wuduan!
793
01:00:22,740 --> 01:00:25,110
If you were good and stayed home
794
01:00:25,110 --> 01:00:28,140
and had not gone to those brothels and to your rogue friends,
795
01:00:28,140 --> 01:00:30,600
then how would you have fallen to this plight?
796
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,430
And you say I don't give you a way to survive?
797
01:00:38,540 --> 01:00:42,700
I know! I've got it!
798
01:00:44,010 --> 01:00:45,680
What are you doing?
799
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:58,030
