is the fifth day of the immersion test,

10
00:02:40,079 --> 00:02:42,079
and the outcome remains undecided.

11
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Renkichi,

12
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:45,490
are you confident

13
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:47,630
your method will prevail?

14
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:51,450
Please rest assured, Mr. Kuroda.

15
00:02:51,590 --> 00:02:53,520
Long before we came to Ming,

16
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,850
we'd already conducted immersion tests.

17
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:57,560
Even if our Sihe Ink

18
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,030
remains submerged for 15 days,

19
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,920
it will emerge

20
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,280
completely intact.

21
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,560
I see.

22
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,800
But what if the Li family's Liuhe Ink

23
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,870
can also last

24
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:22,150
for 15 days?

25
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:23,630
I have

26
00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:26,120
a countermeasure for that as well.

Wenqian,

33
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:43,310
your pacing is making me so anxious.

34
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,750
Your Highness,

35
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:47,460
the two inks

36
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:49,430

00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:54,480
Your Highness,

38
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:57,310
the immersion test

39
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,240
originated with Li Ink.

40
00:04:59,890 --> 00:05:02,630
We're merely the younger generation
following in their footsteps.

41
00:05:02,630 --> 00:05:05,680
That Li Ink has not won by now
is itself a defeat.

42
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:06,830
In my opinion,

43
00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:10,520
there is no need to continue this contest.

44
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,070
What a completely
unreasonable thing to say, Renkichi.

45
00:05:13,070 --> 00:05:15,120
The ink made
by our family's ancestors remained

46
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560
completely undamaged even after being
submerged in water for a whole year.

47
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
And now you wish to decide victory
after a mere 10 days?

48
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:24,160
Isn't that far too frivolous?

49
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,630
In my opinion,

50
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,250

51
00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:30,120

52
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,430
why not just go home,

carve yourself a plaque, and hang it up?

54
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,600
Why waste everyone's time here?

64
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:04,570
Then what do you suggest, Mr. Kuroda?

65
00:06:05,190 --> 00:06:06,390

00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,240
The same as before.

106
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Your Highness,

107
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:08,550
you gave your word.

108
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:10,030
If the immersion test

109
00:10:10,030 --> 00:10:11,270
lasted 15 days

110
00:10:11,270 --> 00:10:12,930
and still produced no winner,

111
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800
then victory would belong to
our family's ink.

112
00:10:31,510 --> 00:10:33,150
Your Highness,

113
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,420
something is wrong with the Sihe Ink!

114
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,490
Go take a look.

115
00:10:38,490 --> 00:10:39,180
Go.

116
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,150
Your Highness,

117
00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:55,670
there is indeed something wrong
with the Sihe Ink.

118
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,320
Impossible!

119
00:10:58,790 --> 00:11:00,960
We tested our Sihe Ink long ago.

120
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,750
It could never be damaged
after only 15 days underwater!

121
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:04,840
It's you.

122
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:06,550
You tampered with it!

123
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:07,240
Insolent!

124
00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:11,320
How dare you question
the impartiality of the Princess of Ming?

125
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,060
Where do you think you are?

126
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120
This is the Literary Association
of the Huizhou ink industry!

127
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,670
Above us stand the gods as witnesses,

128
00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:19,240
and below us stand Ming guards,

129
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,960
jointly overseeing the inks
alongside your Kuroda family!

130
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,550
Who could have tampered with it?

131
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:25,000
Who would dare?

132
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:26,870
Then how do you explain that the ink

133
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:29,360
showed no damage whatsoever
when we tested it underwater in Japan?

134
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,670
May I ask you two,

135
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,240
since you've already conducted tests

136
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240
proving your Sihe Ink didn't deteriorate
when submerged,

137
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,030
were those tests carried out

138
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:36,910
by sinking the ink into a pond

139
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,320
as per the ancient method?

140
00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:40,720
Yes, and what of it?

141
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,390
Your Highness,

142
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:43,630
I know

143
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:46,150
why the Sihe Ink deteriorated.

144
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000
You submerged your ink in a pond.

145
00:11:50,390 --> 00:11:52,390
A pond is deep and wide;

146
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,480
its waters are cold
and maintain a stable temperature,

147
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360
which naturally preserves
the ink intact for 15 days.

148
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,320
But this time,

149
00:11:58,750 --> 00:12:01,440
we used water jars for the test.

150
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The jars are shallow and narrow,

151
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,720
and moreover, they've been exposed
day and night outdoors.

152
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Huizhou is a mountainous region.

153
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
The scorching daytime heat
warms the water in the jars,

154
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,360
while the freezing night air chills it.

155
00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:15,750
Your ink has been subjected to
this repeated alternation

156
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:16,910
of heat and cold

157
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,390
and has gradually deteriorated
as a result.

158
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:20,510
Unfair...

159
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,080
This is unfair.

160
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,270
You're familiar with
the climate in Huizhou

161
00:12:24,270 --> 00:12:25,960
and deliberately accounted for
the temperature fluctuations.

162
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,080
I refuse to accept this!

163
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,360
The temperature changes
are merely external factors.

164
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,200
The true cause of the ink's deterioration

165
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,110
lies

166
00:12:32,430 --> 00:12:33,720
within the ink itself.

167
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Your Sihe Ink uses 1000-year-old pine—

168
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,670
the soot made from it is extraordinary,

169
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:41,910
a rarity even in Huizhou.

170
00:12:42,390 --> 00:12:43,870
But too much of a good thing
can become a bad thing.

171
00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:45,240
The older the pine, the harder it is

172
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,150
for the soot it produces
to bond with the glue.

173
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:50,120
Plus, with repeated
heating and cooling underwater,

174
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,320
the glue and soot in the ink
naturally separate over time.

175
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,840
However, our family's Liuhe Ink

176
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,840
uses common pine.

177
00:12:57,910 --> 00:13:01,320
The soot it produces has been bound
through the six-compound glue method—

178
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,870
soot and glue have been completely fused,

179
00:13:04,030 --> 00:13:05,510
making it impervious to heat and cold.

180
00:13:05,510 --> 00:13:07,670
Even if submerged for one

181
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,510
or two months,
it remains completely undamaged.

182
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:13,030
You proposed this method of testing ink

183
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:15,360
because you'd already tested it yourselves
and felt confident.

184
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,270
You then lured us in step by step
until we took the bait.

185
00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:19,150
But in the end,

186
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,550
you only shot yourselves in the foot.

187
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,510
After today's test,

188
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,720
I think it goes without saying

189
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:28,440
which is superior—

190
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,910
Ming Hui Ink

191
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:30,960
or

192
00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:32,600
Japanese ink.

193
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,270
Renkichi,

194
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:38,510
enough. Say no more.

195
00:13:45,790 --> 00:13:47,670
Your Highness,

196
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,380
in this water immersion test,

197
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:52,080
the Kuroda family

198
00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:53,790
admits defeat.

199
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,670
The Hui Ink of Ming

200
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:03,530
truly lives up to its reputation.

201
00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:06,960
We accept the outcome.

202
00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:14,510
Our family's blade-forging method

203
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:18,000
will be presented to
the Ming court shortly.

204
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:22,150
After 15 days of the water test,

205
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,920
the winner has been decided.

206
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,200
The title of Finest Ink Under Heaven

207
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,530
belongs without question to the Liuhe Ink

208
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,390
of Ming's Li family!

209
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Congratulations to His Majesty!

210
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,120
Congratulations to Your Highness!

211
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:41,670
Long live the Emperor!

212
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:45,600
Long live the Princess!

213
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,390
The Li family's Liuhe Ink has won

214
00:14:52,510 --> 00:14:55,080
and has been granted the title
"Finest Ink Under Heaven!"

215
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,390
Wonderful! Wonderful!

216
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,670
"Gold may be easy to come by,
but Li Ink is hard to find!"

217
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:24,080
By imperial decree, Li Ink is granted
the title of Finest Ink Under Heaven!

218
00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:27,790
"Gold may be easy to come by,
but Li Ink is hard to find."

219
00:15:28,030 --> 00:15:32,270
By imperial decree, Li Ink is granted
the title of Finest Ink Under Heaven!

220
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,000
"Gold may be easy to come by,
but Li Ink is hard to find!"

221
00:15:36,270 --> 00:15:40,910
By imperial decree, Li Ink is granted
the title of Finest Ink Under Heaven!

222
00:15:41,410 --> 00:15:45,050
"Gold may be easy to come by,
but Li Ink is hard to find!"

223
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,870
By imperial decree, Li Ink is granted
the title of Finest Ink Under Heaven!

224
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:52,970
Congratulations!

225
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,150
Congratulations! Congratulations!

226
00:15:57,150 --> 00:15:58,240
Thank you.

227
00:15:58,830 --> 00:16:00,310
There's one for everyone!

228
00:16:02,030 --> 00:16:04,230
Congratulations on winning the title!

229
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Everyone,

230
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:24,170
this time, Li Ink has won

231
00:16:24,190 --> 00:16:26,340
the title of Finest Ink Under Heaven.

232
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:27,440
We shall now

233
00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:29,390
formally bestow the plaque
granted by His Majesty,

234
00:16:29,390 --> 00:16:31,310
inscribed with "Finest Ink Under Heaven,"

235
00:16:29,460 --> 00:16:31,220
[Finest Ink Under Heaven]

236
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,440
to the Li Ink!

237
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:36,720
Li Ink thanks His Majesty.

238
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Thank you.

239
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:38,550
Congratulations to Li Ink.

240
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:39,240
Manager Zhen.

241
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Thank you.

242
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,270
Your contributions in this Tribute Ink selection
have been immense

243
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:46,470
and have brought great honor
to our Huizhou ink industry.

244
00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:50,030
You should receive this plaque
on behalf of the Li family.

245
00:16:50,630 --> 00:16:51,320
Zhen,

246
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,550
go up and accept it.

247
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:11,869
Elders and seniors of the craft,

248
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,300
the success of Liuhe Ink this time

249
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:16,960
is by no means
the credit of our family alone,

250
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,069
but the result of the concerted efforts

251
00:17:19,069 --> 00:17:21,329
of all peers in the Huizhou ink industry.

252
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,750
The Liuhe Ink contains

253
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:25,530
our family's Sihe Ink as its foundation,

254
00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:28,730
along with the Luo family's
ink-mixing method,

255
00:17:28,830 --> 00:17:30,760
the Chen family's glue technique,

256
00:17:30,790 --> 00:17:32,400
the Pan family's ink recipes,

257
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,660
the Xi family's stone mortar and pestle,

258
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:37,030
and the precious medicinal ingredients

259
00:17:37,030 --> 00:17:39,270
from Manager Huang and President Hu.

260
00:17:40,510 --> 00:17:41,920
Every step of its creation was built upon

261
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,520
the painstaking effort
and dedication of all.

262
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,510
And when my grandfather used his own blood
to mix the ink in the end,

263
00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:51,000
what he bound was not merely
a block of ink,

264
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,380
but the unity of Hui Ink
and the eternal inheritance of its spirit.

265
00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:57,270
Therefore,

266
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,980
this plaque of "Finest Ink Under Heaven"

267
00:18:00,510 --> 00:18:02,770
should not belong solely to the Li family

268
00:18:02,830 --> 00:18:05,400
but hang permanently
in the Literary Association

269
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,200
so that all Huizhou ink artisans

270
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:08,930
may share this honor forever.

271
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:10,480
Well...

272
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,510
Zhen,

273
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,830
this plaque was hard-won.

274
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,030
Are you truly

275
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:18,640
not going to keep it?

276
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,240
President Hu,

277
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:22,550
this is the result of a decision

278
00:18:22,550 --> 00:18:24,310
made collectively by our entire Li family.

279
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:25,960
It was not made on impulse.

280
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:28,480
Furthermore,

281
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,430
we've divided the Liuhe Ink into portions

282
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,400
to present to
each ink-making family in Huizhou.

283
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,200
It's a symbol that all of us
in the Huizhou ink industry

284
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,600
spring from the same root

285
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,680
and are nourished by the same land.

286
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:42,310
I believe

287
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,680
this is also what my grandfather,
watching over us from beyond,

288
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,160
truly wished to see.

289
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,440
Zhen,

290
00:18:53,030 --> 00:18:54,640
we can all feel the generosity of spirit

291
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,160
behind your intentions.

292
00:18:57,310 --> 00:19:00,770
Today, the Huizhou ink industry
accepts the kindness of Li Ink

293
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,720
and will certainly, as you wish,

294
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,640
continue to develop and grow stronger.

295
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,790
It's just that you

296
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,680
and your Li family

297
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,560
have gone through so much

298
00:19:09,790 --> 00:19:11,200
yet kept nothing for yourselves.

299
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Wouldn't that be a pity?

300
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:13,640
Indeed.

301
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,550
Respected elders,

302
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,800
if we are to speak of regrets,

303
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:22,110
I do have one request.

304
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:24,920
I

305
00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:26,990
would like to take back the tooth

306
00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:30,270
my grandfather knocked out
and drove into the pillar to seal his vow.

307
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,660
My grandfather has now given his life
for his craft

308
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:34,340
and held fast to his Way of Ink.

309
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,960
The vow he swore

310
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,050
and the blood he shed

311
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,100
have all become memories,
dissipating like smoke.

312
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:46,510
And this tooth

313
00:19:48,350 --> 00:19:49,480
should also

314
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,350
go with him.

315
00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:54,350
It should no longer remain here.

316
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,070
I want my grandfather

317
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,650
to return home whole and complete.

318
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:03,340
I ask all elders here
to grant me this wish.

319
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,880
Zhen,

320
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,640
how could we not grant

321
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:11,310
such an act of filial devotion?

322
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:12,270
You're right.

323
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,640
We should let Eighth Master Li

324
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,960
return home whole and complete.

325
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:33,310
[Li Residence]

326
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,920
The path of ink-making is

327
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,780
full of hardships and obstacles.

328
00:22:38,180 --> 00:22:39,750
Can you endure them?

329
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,580
I'm willing to endure hardships!

330
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:43,790
Good.

331
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,110
I, Li Jinshui, inheritor of
the Li's Ink-making technique,

332
00:22:48,110 --> 00:22:51,720
take Zhen of the Li family
as my apprentice

333
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,920
to pass on the art of ink-making.

334
00:22:57,310 --> 00:23:00,400
May the Founding Master bless
her path in ink-making,

335
00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:02,440
smooth and prosperous,

336
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,540
and true to her original aspiration.

337
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,680
For others,

338
00:23:08,030 --> 00:23:10,070
the first step in making ink
might be making lampblack.

339
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:11,070
But for you,

340
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,570
you must start by twisting lamp wicks.

341
00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:15,200
The path of ink-making

342
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:18,310
is full of hardships and obstacles.

343
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,790
We grind the ink, and the ink

344
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,480
shapes us in return.

345
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:25,250
What I want to pass on to you...

346
00:23:28,510 --> 00:23:29,720
is the Way of Ink.

347
00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:31,440
The Way of Ink?

348
00:23:38,030 --> 00:23:39,830
To remain upright and honorable

349
00:23:40,510 --> 00:23:42,000
is the Li family's Way.

350
00:23:43,270 --> 00:23:45,070
To live and die alongside the ink

351
00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:47,160
was Luo Wensong's Way.

352
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,400
I truly hope

353
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:55,270
that one day

354
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,310

This cup

is raised in honor of the Li family.

If you hadn't won the selection this time,

396
00:27:56,350 --> 00:27:58,400
how could I have retired from court

397
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,000
with such dignity?

398
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:01,550

399
00:28:01,550 --> 00:28:02,590
Thank you, Lord Yan.

400
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:03,310
Thank you.

401
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:06,480
Lord Yan,

402
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,350
that's not quite right.

403
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:10,790
You shouldn't still refer to them
as the Li family,

404
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:12,000
but as your in-laws.

405
00:28:13,030 --> 00:28:14,960
Lord He is right.

406
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,270
Actually, I've already planned

407
00:28:17,550 --> 00:28:18,960
that after the tribute selection,

408
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960
I will come to propose marriage for my son

409
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,240
and set a wedding date
for Zhengshen and Xianglan

410
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,200
as soon as possible.

411
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,350
Wonderful. I'll be waiting for you.

412
00:28:26,350 --> 00:28:27,110
Okay.

413
00:28:28,030 --> 00:28:28,750
Great!

414
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:31,050
Then I must share in this happy occasion.

415
00:28:31,550 --> 00:28:33,070
Everyone, let's raise a glass together.

416
00:28:33,070 --> 00:28:33,750
Come on.

417
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,920
Cheers.

418
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,550
Come on.

419
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:41,590
Speaking of the wedding,

420
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:42,680
Miss Li Zhen,

421
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400
you're also of marriageable age.

422
00:28:45,790 --> 00:28:47,440
In the past, you were too busy making ink

423
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,880
to think about such things.

424
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Now,

425
00:28:49,940 --> 00:28:52,940
you've achieved fame and success.

426
00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:55,040
"Men should marry when they

427
00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:57,410
come of age, and so should women."

428
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:00,670
It's time for you
to think about these matters.

429
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,280
By the way,

430
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,640
I have a disciple in Nanjing.

431
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,510
His family comes from an official lineage.

432
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:09,960
He's talented and of fine appearance,
well matched with her in every regard.

433
00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:12,400
Niece-in-law,

434
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,750
what do you think?

435
00:29:18,510 --> 00:29:20,350
This is freshly stewed old duck soup.

436
00:29:20,350 --> 00:29:21,830
Everyone, please try some.

437
00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:23,510
Go ahead, everyone. Try it.

438
00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:24,310
Lord Qi.

439
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,400
That's hardly fair.

440
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,110
If Miss Li Zhen were to marry into
a family in Nanjing,

441
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:34,310
wouldn't that be a tremendous loss
for us here in Huizhou?

442
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,200
How about I present a memorial
to the provincial governor

443
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,510
and petition His Majesty
for a marriage decree,

444
00:29:41,510 --> 00:29:45,200
betrothing Miss Li Zhen to a scion

445
00:29:45,310 --> 00:29:47,370
of an official family in our Huizhou?

446
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,740
Surely His Majesty wouldn't refuse.

447
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
You should just give up that idea.

448
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,880
Lord He,

449
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:56,030
you're even fighting me over this too?

450
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:56,550
Come on.

451
00:29:56,550 --> 00:29:57,750
Come on, let's drink.

Why are you here?

514
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:27,880
At the banquet,

515
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,800
everyone was trying to
arrange a marriage for you.

516
00:34:32,980 --> 00:34:35,239
But I don't want you to marry anyone else.

517
00:34:36,170 --> 00:34:38,280
I don't want to miss my chance
with you again.

518
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,940
We've already missed each other
too many times.

519
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,400
That year, when I was exiled,

520
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,760
I thought

521
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,000
from then on

522
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,960
we would be separated
by mountains and seas forever.

523
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,090
But later, when I returned, I realized

524
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,360
that however high

525
00:34:55,550 --> 00:34:57,750
the mountains are, they can be climbed,

526
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,760
and however vast

527
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:01,320
the seas are, they can be crossed.

528
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,110
Zhen,

529
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,760
from this day forward,

530
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,620
I want to cross mountains and seas for you

531
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,210
and share every detail
of this mortal world with you.

532
00:35:17,070 --> 00:35:18,600
For these past three years—

533
00:35:21,230 --> 00:35:22,630
for the sake of my mother,

534
00:35:24,190 --> 00:35:25,510
my grandfather,

535
00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:27,510
and Uncle Jingdong—

536
00:35:29,070 --> 00:35:30,930
I dared not let myself think of you

537
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,060
and couldn't allow myself to.

538
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,700
I kept trying to
make myself forget you completely.

539
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,320
But I realized

540
00:35:41,590 --> 00:35:44,520
there wasn't a single moment
when I truly forgot you.

541
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,510
All these years,

542
00:35:49,110 --> 00:35:51,190
I believed it was our entire family

543
00:35:52,010 --> 00:35:54,340
that couldn't move on from what happened.

544
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,550
But in the end, I realized

545
00:35:58,630 --> 00:36:00,800
that the only one trapped in it

546
00:36:02,110 --> 00:36:03,480
was me.

547
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,710
From now on,

548
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,510
you won't be alone anymore.

549
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:16,030
If you can't accept me right now,
that's alright.

550
00:36:16,030 --> 00:36:17,030
I can wait.

551
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,590
One year, three years, five years,
or ten years—

552
00:36:19,590 --> 00:36:20,800
I'll wait as long as it takes.

553
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,710
What if I said

554
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,380
I want you to stay by my side
for the rest of our lives?

555
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,880
I will.

556
00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:42,110
I will.

557
00:36:44,030 --> 00:36:46,290
I'll stay with you
for the rest of my life.

558
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,760
Wenqian.

559
00:37:07,330 --> 00:37:09,800
Cuiqiao's birthday is next month.

560
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,220
I want to give her
this set of exquisite colored ink.

561
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,550
What do you think?

562
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:15,840
Very good.

563
00:37:16,510 --> 00:37:19,280
Especially this azure color—
it looks like the sea.

564
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,080
Sister will definitely like it.

565
00:37:24,510 --> 00:37:26,400
What have you been drawing for so long?

566
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,360
I was thinking

567
00:37:27,710 --> 00:37:29,730
of making an ink
adorned with a pair of mandarin ducks

568
00:37:29,730 --> 00:37:31,380
and then using that very ink

569
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,320
to write our marriage certificate.

570
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,070
G-Give it to me.

571
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,710
Let me help you improve the design.

572
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:38,590
Come on.

573
00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:42,710
Here.

574
00:37:44,590 --> 00:37:45,510
Look.

575
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,190
Look.

576
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,920
Draw it...

577
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,590
here.

578
00:37:55,130 --> 00:37:56,330
Indeed, much better.

579
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,400
Manager Zhen,

580
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,590
Mr. Xiao is here!

581
00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:59,480
Jixiang?

582
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,150
Young Master!

583
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,190
Young Master,

584
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,600
I heard you were here.

585
00:38:05,590 --> 00:38:06,320
Mr. Xiao.

586
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:06,920
Miss Li Zhen.

587
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:07,840
You rascal,

588
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,280
you didn't even write to me before coming.

589
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,080
Young Master.

590
00:38:11,110 --> 00:38:11,910
What's wrong?

591
00:38:17,030 --> 00:38:18,920
An uprising has broken out
along the Fujian and Guangdong coasts.

592
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,250
The situation is grave.

593
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:23,480
General Yu requests that you
return to camp with me immediately

594
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,740
and assist in suppressing the uprising.

595
00:39:39,470 --> 00:39:40,640
Just see me off here.

596
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:44,510
May you soon return triumphant.

597
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,730
Wait for me to come back.

598
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,920
How did Aunt teach you before?

599
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:07,710
Look,

600
00:41:07,710 --> 00:41:10,150
we have to twist
the lamp wick first, right?

601
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,280
Then keep rolling it like this.

602
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:12,760
Here.

603
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,120
Hold it here and twist downward.

604
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,110
That's right.

605
00:41:19,570 --> 00:41:21,510
Our Tianxin is so clever.

606
00:41:26,030 --> 00:41:26,880
Zhen,

607
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,230
[By Li Zhen]

608
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,150
the ink-making methods of Li Ink
have been compiled and preserved

609
00:41:30,150 --> 00:41:31,710
for the benefit of future generations.

610
00:41:31,710 --> 00:41:32,800
We, the Li family,

611
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,860
have true strength of character.

612
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,920
Good.

613
00:41:43,710 --> 00:41:47,480
You must diligently memorize
the Ink Canon and copy the Ink Scripture.

614
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,810
You're always so energetic when playing,

615
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,900
yet so sleepy when it's time to study.

616
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:54,920
Each inkstick is painstakingly made.

617
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,820
Make sure you cherish them, okay?

618
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,710
Okay, okay.

619
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,530
[Li Zhen honored the trust of her forebears
and restored the glory of Li Ink.]

620
00:42:53,530 --> 00:42:54,990
[She later withdrew into seclusion, where she devoted
herself to writing and passing on her knowledge.]

621
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:56,680
[From the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty onward,
Hui Ink was carried on by the Fang and Cheng lineages.]

622
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,350
[Generations of master craftsmen followed in succession,
preserving the tradition without interruption.]

623
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,940
[The End]
