180
00:11:07,368 --> 00:11:09,290
The county magistrate said

181
00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:13,630
as long as Ningyan reviews the dossiers carefully during this period,

182
00:11:13,630 --> 00:11:17,130
and wins honors for the county yamen during the Year of Officials Appraisal.

183
00:11:17,130 --> 00:11:21,610
He'll give him a promotion.

184
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:28,280
That's good then.

185
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,550
My nephew is a Ninth Rank warrior.

186
00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:35,290
What if you let him run away? You are so careless.

187
00:11:35,290 --> 00:11:37,230
Right.

188
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:40,450
Is this too much?

189
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:41,830
Not at all.

190
00:11:41,830 --> 00:11:45,280
He's young and strong, can endure some suffering.

191
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,970
Moreover, if he didn't seize
such a good opportunity, he will definitely regret it in the future.

192
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:53,210
Mr. Xu, you are really wise.

193
00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:54,910
You flatter me.

194
00:11:54,910 --> 00:11:58,130
- I am considering my nephew's future.
- Yes.

195
00:11:58,130 --> 00:12:00,030
It has nothing to do with
what we just discussed.

196
00:12:00,030 --> 00:12:02,024
Right.

197
00:12:02,024 --> 00:12:07,150
Ningyan, you just stay inside and read the dossiers.

198
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:09,590
Don't waste my good intentions.

199
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:12,230
Rest assured, no one will come to disturb you.

200
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:15,850
If you need anything, I will come to supply you regularly.

201
00:12:15,850 --> 00:12:21,710
Just stay in there and focus on reviewing the dossiers.

202
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:26,570
Okay, let's go.

203
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:30,192
Have a drink.

204
00:12:38,330 --> 00:12:40,670
<i>Today is the eleventh day of the third month.</i>

205
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:44,410
<i>I've spent another whole night
reviewing the dossiers.</i>

206
00:12:44,410 --> 00:12:48,970
<i>In this way, I will become a corporate drone again.</i>

207
00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:52,490
<i>No, I can't just sit back and do nothing.</i>

208
00:12:52,490 --> 00:12:55,290
<i>Step one, escape.</i>

209
00:12:55,290 --> 00:12:57,180
<i>[Step One: Escape]</i>

210
00:13:05,530 --> 00:13:07,108
Go back.

211
00:13:07,108 --> 00:13:10,510
<i>Unexpectedly, my uncle
has already sided with the enemy.</i>

212
00:13:10,510 --> 00:13:14,950
<i>But it doesn't matter. He can't watch me 24 hours a day.</i>

213
00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:22,270
<i>I was too naive.</i>

214
00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:26,390
<i>For money, my uncle would do anything.</i>

215
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:31,490
Before Mr. Wang arrives, you are not allowed to leave.

216
00:13:31,490 --> 00:13:33,710
<i>Alright, I got it.</i>

217
00:13:33,710 --> 00:13:36,870
<i>Mr. Wang is the key man.</i>

218
00:13:37,490 --> 00:13:39,530
- Have a drink.
- Let's go.

219
00:13:54,590 --> 00:13:56,430
Ningyan, why are you sleeping here?

220
00:13:56,430 --> 00:13:58,990
Cover yourself with something.
Don't catch a cold.

221
00:13:58,990 --> 00:14:02,550
<i>After gradually gaining Mr. Wang's trust,</i>

222
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:06,690
<i>I've finally let him
lower his guard against me.</i>

223
00:14:06,690 --> 00:14:11,250
<i>Alright. Now I'm going to go for my step two.</i>

224
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:12,610
<i>Play the victim.</i>

225
00:14:12,610 --> 00:14:16,750
I don't want to live anymore. Give me a quick end.

226
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:21,570
Just kill me. Let me die.

227
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:27,810
Let me die.

228
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:33,290
<i>As expected, he softened and said to take me out to relax.</i>

229
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:36,090
Let's go to the theater.

230
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:42,150
<i>As a model young man, how could he bring me to a place like this?</i>

231
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:45,150
<i>It's not my style.</i>

232
00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:49,072
- Don't.
- Ningyan is really a blockhead.

233
00:14:49,072 --> 00:14:50,720
Relax.

234
00:14:51,370 --> 00:14:54,250
Here, let's have a drink.

235
00:14:54,250 --> 00:14:55,970
Thank you.

236
00:14:59,010 --> 00:15:00,890
<i>I will hold back.</i>

237
00:15:00,890 --> 00:15:02,160
<i>On the thirteenth day of the third month,</i>

238
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,190
<i>Mr. Wang took me to the theater
to enjoy the music again.</i>

239
00:15:04,190 --> 00:15:08,110
<i>He might think I would fall for his tricks and be grateful to him.</i>

240
00:15:08,110 --> 00:15:09,550
<i>Isn't it just KTV?</i>

241
00:15:09,550 --> 00:15:11,630
<i>I'm too familiar with all these schemes.</i>

242
00:15:11,630 --> 00:15:12,950
<i>Trying to numb me?</i>

243
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:15,090
<i>[Impossible]
Impossible.</i>

244
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:22,310
<i>But after all, it's business socializing.</i>

245
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:29,450
<i>[On the fourteenth day of the third month, enjoy music]
I must say I've picked up a tael again.</i>

246
00:15:29,450 --> 00:15:33,750
<i>It happens every day. The frequency is so high.</i>

247
00:15:34,911 --> 00:15:37,630
<i>[On the fifteenth day of the third month,
Enjoy music in the theater]</i>

248
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:40,590
<i>And why are there more and more taels?</i>

249
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:43,310
<i>This is even quicker
than making money in business.</i>

250
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,990
Ningyan, review them.

251
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:51,650
I'll take you out to play again.

252
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:54,410
Okay, boss, leave it to me.

253
00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:55,610
Alright.

254
00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:58,010
<i>[On the sixteenth day of the third month, enjoy music]
Life has smoothed out my edges.</i>

255
00:15:58,010 --> 00:16:00,730
<i>I can't keep on like this anymore.</i>

256
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:02,630
<i>But I have to do it all the way.</i>

257
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:07,250
<i>[On the nineteenth day of the third month, enjoy music]
Fit in the crowd is the key to success in the workplace.</i>

258
00:16:11,340 --> 00:16:15,243
<i>[On the twentieth day of the third month,
enjoy music in the theater]</i>

259
00:16:16,561 --> 00:16:18,600
<i>[Xu Mansion]</i>

260
00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:25,550
Father, please.

261
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:37,330
Three taels and two qian?

262
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:40,410
Father. Why is there one liang less than last month?

263
00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:42,670
I have just been released, so I have many social occasions.

264
00:16:42,670 --> 00:16:45,750
Next month, I will definitely pay more.

265
00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:03,950
That's all, it's all here.

266
00:17:05,530 --> 00:17:07,790
Fine, go in.

267
00:17:07,790 --> 00:17:10,090
Thank you, Ru. Thank you, Ru.

268
00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:11,990
Three taels and five qian.

269
00:17:16,650 --> 00:17:19,330
This is what I've earned
from copying books and selling calligraphy.

270
00:17:19,990 --> 00:17:21,830
Five taels and two qian.

271
00:17:21,830 --> 00:17:25,470
Nian, you are excellent. Good.

272
00:17:25,470 --> 00:17:28,050
Go in and get ready to eat.

273
00:17:46,050 --> 00:17:47,556
Stone?

274
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:55,570
So many taels.

275
00:17:59,410 --> 00:18:01,290
Where did you get so many taels?

276
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:04,910
Rewarded by the yamen for reviewing dossiers.

277
00:18:10,064 --> 00:18:11,110
Come on, let's eat.

278
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:13,770
Thank you, Ru.

279
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:20,210
Here you are.

280
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:25,740
Let's eat.

281
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:30,630
Aunt. I paid you the most. And this is all I get?

282
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:32,290
If you don't want it, give it to me.

283
00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:35,230
Nian is going to take
the imperial examination soon.

284
00:18:35,230 --> 00:18:36,730
He needs to nourish the brain.

285
00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:40,510
You two are both mere warriors. Just have some steamed buns.

286
00:18:43,860 --> 00:18:45,384
Nian.

287
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:50,070
Come on. This is for you.

288
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:53,630
Nian, what's wrong?

289
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:56,010
Something on your mind?

290
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,790
Nian, what's wrong?

291
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:11,230
An elder from the academy
has taken up a post in Qingzhou.

292
00:19:11,230 --> 00:19:14,670
Tomorrow all students will go
to see him off with a farewell poem.

293
00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:18,510
But I haven't written the farewell poem yet.

294
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:20,190
If you can't write it, then don't.

295
00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:22,330
That elder is a great Confucian
known throughout the world,

296
00:19:22,330 --> 00:19:24,010
and extremely good at poetry.

297
00:19:24,010 --> 00:19:27,970
If I could get his appreciation, it would be very beneficial.

298
00:19:27,970 --> 00:19:31,730
If I could befriend this elder,

299
00:19:31,730 --> 00:19:34,150
perhaps I could save you from the jail.

300
00:19:34,150 --> 00:19:37,670
I wouldn't be that helpless.

301
00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:41,030
What a pity. Xinnian has no talent in poetry.

302
00:19:41,850 --> 00:19:43,650
So did your grandfather.

303
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:47,150
He only knew to write articles, has no poetic talent at all.

304
00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:48,610
What's so funny?

305
00:19:48,610 --> 00:19:50,070
What does it have to do with my father?

306
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:51,730
Is it my father's fault?

307
00:19:51,730 --> 00:19:55,230
Nian could pass the imperial examination
and become Juren. That's all thanks to our Li family.

308
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:56,630
Because he inherits it from me.

309
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:58,450
Here, look at Lingyin.

310
00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:03,390
She inherits it from you, hasn't even begun her enlightenment.

311
00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:06,430
What are you laughing at? You're the same.

312
00:20:06,430 --> 00:20:10,370
Wait. Why are you blaming me
when your son can't write a poem?

313
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:12,350
Quite a loud voice.

314
00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:13,550
Did I say something wrong about you?

315
00:20:13,550 --> 00:20:17,250
If you were cut out for studying, you wouldn't have learned martial arts back then.

316
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:18,590
Wait, what about me learning martial arts?

317
00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:20,330
Do people who learn martial arts are ignorant?

318
00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:21,930
If no one learns martial arts,
where would the constables come from?

319
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,510
If I don't learn martial arts,
who will review the dossiers?

320
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:26,570
- And who would solve so many cases?
- Have I underestimated you?

321
00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:28,890
Ningyan.

322
00:20:28,890 --> 00:20:31,730
Ru, I take a day off today.

323
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:34,350
I'll stay with you.

324
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:36,124
Stop.

325
00:20:36,124 --> 00:20:38,130
Eat up.

326
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:41,270
If you're capable, create a poem.

327
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:43,430
Just a poem.

328
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:44,990
Alone in a foreign land, I am an exile.

329
00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:46,610
Whenever holidays come,
I miss my kin even more.

330
00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:49,250
- Is it a poem?
- Yes. Let's eat.

331
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:51,830
Alone in a foreign land, I am an exile.

332
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:55,210
Whenever holidays come,
I miss my kin even more.

333
00:20:59,730 --> 00:21:02,090
Alone in a foreign land,

334
00:21:02,090 --> 00:21:04,390
I am an exile.

335
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:06,870
Whenever holidays come,

336
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:08,890
I miss my kin even more.

337
00:21:08,890 --> 00:21:10,310
Good poem.

338
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:12,930
It is simply marvelous.

339
00:21:12,930 --> 00:21:17,970
You… Since when could you create poems?

340
00:21:17,970 --> 00:21:20,290
When did I ever say I couldn't create poems?

341
00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:21,750
Is this poem good?

342
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:23,790
- Is it good?
- It's very artistic.

343
00:21:23,790 --> 00:21:26,350
After all this talk,

344
00:21:26,350 --> 00:21:29,430
the one who's potential to be a scholar
in our family is Ningyan.

345
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:31,150
Had I known, I would have sent you to study,

346
00:21:31,150 --> 00:21:34,170
and let Cijiu go learn martial arts.

347
00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:37,670
But the poem is created by Ningyan.

348
00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:39,270
Just admire it.

349
00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:41,910
Cijiu, do not claim it as your own work.

350
00:21:41,910 --> 00:21:44,150
This is not what a scholar should do, right?

351
00:21:44,150 --> 00:21:47,110
What's the point of doing so?

352
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:48,810
Qi'an, lend me this poem.

353
00:21:48,810 --> 00:21:51,710
I will certainly credit you as the poet.

354
00:21:56,770 --> 00:22:00,230
Qi'an, eat some more. Eat more meat.

355
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:02,040
Those who learn martial arts
should eat more meat.

356
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,750
Here.

357
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:05,572
I'll feed you.

358
00:22:06,250 --> 00:22:08,150
Alright.

359
00:22:08,150 --> 00:22:11,070
Just take this poem.

360
00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:13,270
Take it and show off.

361
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:14,912
Good.

362
00:22:16,570 --> 00:22:18,890
Alone in a foreign land,

363
00:22:18,890 --> 00:22:21,070
I am an exile.

364
00:22:21,070 --> 00:22:23,710
Whenever holidays come,

365
00:22:23,710 --> 00:22:26,510
I miss my kin even more.

366
00:22:26,510 --> 00:22:28,870
Excellent poem.

367
00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:32,130
Qi'an, what about the last three lines?

368
00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:39,150
I haven't finished reviewing the dossiers.
I'm going back.

369
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:44,190
Let me accompany you.

370
00:22:46,670 --> 00:22:49,950
Any student who wishes to compose a poem

371
00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:53,190
<i>[Zhang Shen, Dean of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank]</i>
to farewell Mr. Ziyang?

372
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:55,610
<i>[Yang Gong, Dean of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank]</i>
Quezhi, even your poem has been failed.

373
00:22:55,610 --> 00:22:58,270
Let's not go up there and embarrass ourselves.

374
00:23:00,370 --> 00:23:03,510
Sir, I have a poem.

375
00:23:04,410 --> 00:23:07,470
Alone in a foreign land, I am an exile.

376
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:11,330
Whenever holidays come,
I miss my kin even more.

377
00:23:12,410 --> 00:23:15,750
Don't be anxious about having no friends.

378
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:20,090
Everyone in the world knows you.

379
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,548
<i>[Li Mubai, Dean of Yunlu Academy, Fourth Rank]</i>
Excellent.

380
00:23:28,548 --> 00:23:31,330
- What an excellent poem!
- Excellent.

381
00:23:31,330 --> 00:23:33,070
Excellent.

382
00:23:33,070 --> 00:23:34,210
What an excellent poem!

383
00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:36,010
Don't be anxious about having no friends.

384
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:39,130
Everyone in the world knows you.

385
00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:40,910
Cijiu.

386
00:23:40,910 --> 00:23:43,730
Why is this poem only half completed?

387
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:45,110
This poem is only half completed.

388
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:48,610
- Only half completed?
- No matter.

389
00:23:48,610 --> 00:23:50,530
No matter.

390
00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:54,830
It is already astonishing.

391
00:23:54,830 --> 00:23:58,550
Xu Cijiu. Does this poem have a title?

392
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,650
No.

393
00:23:59,650 --> 00:24:00,890
Then we shall call it,

394
00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:05,730
"Mianyang Pavilion Seeing off Yang Gong to Qingzhou".

395
00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:11,490
Don't be anxious about having no friends.

396
00:24:11,490 --> 00:24:16,650
Everyone in the world knows you.

397
00:24:16,650 --> 00:24:19,630
He has tied the poem and his name together.

398
00:24:19,630 --> 00:24:21,670
He's so lucky.

399
00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:25,210
Upon first hearing this poem, indeed it's so artistic.

400
00:24:25,210 --> 00:24:28,930
This poem will surely
be passed down through ages.

401
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:32,690
Xu Cijiu, come here.

402
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:35,590
What is wrong?

403
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:37,510
Such a fine poem,

404
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:39,470
why didn't you present it to me sooner?

405
00:24:39,470 --> 00:24:42,310
Actually, I'm not the one who created this poem,

406
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:43,550
but by someone else.

407
00:24:43,550 --> 00:24:46,190
Who is it? Is it one of our academy's students?

408
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:48,110
- It's my elder brother.
- Your elder brother?

409
00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:50,230
Why have you never mentioned this to me before?

410
00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:52,870
What is his name? Who did he study under?

411
00:24:52,870 --> 00:24:54,110
My elder brother's name is Xu Ningyan.

412
00:24:54,110 --> 00:24:57,590
He has been studying the classics at home
and has not yet taken a master.

413
00:25:01,570 --> 00:25:02,570
Come on.

414
00:25:02,570 --> 00:25:05,856
Take a seat.

415
00:25:05,856 --> 00:25:07,290
Drink tea.

416
00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:11,190
Well, I suddenly have the desire
to take on a disciple today.

417
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:13,790
I have nothing to do today,
maybe you should take me to your home

418
00:25:13,790 --> 00:25:15,750
and meet your elder brother.

419
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:18,550
Xu Cijiu, where does your elder brother live?

420
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:20,030
I want to pay him a visit

421
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:22,950
to have a long talk with him, and play the chess.

422
00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:24,790
What?

423
00:25:24,790 --> 00:25:26,950
A scholar must first learn the essence,

424
00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:29,310
understand strategy, cultivate himself
and manage the family's affairs well.

425
00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:30,510
Teachers.

426
00:25:30,510 --> 00:25:34,270
My elder brother is not a scholar, but a warrior.

427
00:25:34,270 --> 00:25:36,130
Warrior?

428
00:25:38,090 --> 00:25:39,270
What are you laughing at?

429
00:25:39,270 --> 00:25:40,430
You!

430
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:44,230
Against Wei Yuan, you've never won.

431
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:46,470
You shameless old folk! Shut up.

432
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:48,470
Don't mention Wei Yuan in front of me.

433
00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:51,650
I have always cherished talents.

434
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:54,590
I have decided to take this student.

435
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:56,570
You just covet his poems.

436
00:25:56,570 --> 00:25:57,750
You shameless old folk!

437
00:25:57,750 --> 00:26:00,310
See how I'll beat you to death!

438
00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:01,670
Fine, I'm not afraid.

439
00:26:01,670 --> 00:26:03,850
I will burn you to death.

440
00:26:03,850 --> 00:26:06,250
- I'll beat you to death
- I'm not afraid.

441
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,930
That's impressive.

442
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:32,710
Uncle, are you alright?

443
00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:34,950
Okay, I'm okay.

444
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:37,150
I'm totally fine.

445
00:26:41,770 --> 00:26:44,670
Nice, there's improvement.

446
00:26:46,450 --> 00:26:48,710
But if you want to go further,

447
00:26:48,710 --> 00:26:51,270
then you must reach the realm of refining qi.

448
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:52,590
Realm of refining qi?

449
00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:56,050
This realm of refining qi is different
from the realm of refining essence.

450
00:26:56,050 --> 00:26:58,130
To reach the Eighth Rank realm of refining qi,

451
00:26:58,130 --> 00:27:00,670
you must use Marrow Cleansing Fluid to nourish,

452
00:27:00,670 --> 00:27:04,530
or find a master
of the Seventh Rank realm of refining spirit

453
00:27:04,530 --> 00:27:06,770
to enlighten you.

454
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:17,590
Have some water.

455
00:27:22,930 --> 00:27:27,650
Back in the days, I fought so hard

456
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:31,410
during the battle of Linyuan Pass to accumulate a bit of military merit,

457
00:27:31,410 --> 00:27:35,270
then I asked a master
in the army to enlighten me.

458
00:27:35,270 --> 00:27:38,810
But now, in the time of peace, it's hard to obtain military merit

459
00:27:38,810 --> 00:27:40,930
and reach the realm of refining qi.

460
00:27:40,930 --> 00:27:41,930
Indeed.

461
00:27:41,930 --> 00:27:46,570
Do you have to reach the realm of refining qi before marring?

462
00:27:48,330 --> 00:27:49,710
I am getting old.

463
00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:54,110
My only wish is to see you take a wife and have children.

464
00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:56,790
Then I would be relieved
for your deceased parents.

465
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:58,090
No, wait.

466
00:27:58,090 --> 00:28:00,910
Does the realm of refining qi have anything
to do with marrying and having children?

467
00:28:00,910 --> 00:28:02,530
Of course, yes.

468
00:28:02,530 --> 00:28:04,650
If you take a wife and have children

469
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:06,050
while you're in the realm of refining essence,

470
00:28:06,050 --> 00:28:09,130
then you can only stay
in the realm of refining essence for life.

471
00:28:09,130 --> 00:28:12,800
Your arts martial path is like a chasm.

472
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:16,040
Is there no other way?

473
00:28:16,730 --> 00:28:18,520
Actually,

474
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,900
yes.

475
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:25,370
- It's all about money.
- Money?

476
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:29,570
The Marrow Cleansing Fluid and the master can all be solved with money.

477
00:28:29,570 --> 00:28:32,450
Uncle. Give me back my money,
I want to reach the realm of refining qi.

478
00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:35,030
I want to take a wife and have children.

479
00:28:35,030 --> 00:28:36,610
When did I take your money?

480
00:28:36,610 --> 00:28:39,670
You said to save it for me. I want to withdraw it now, give it to me.

481
00:28:39,670 --> 00:28:41,610
I've paid it to Ru.

482
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:42,890
Do you hide it under the shoe sole?
I just saw it.

483
00:28:42,890 --> 00:28:44,050
What did you say?

484
00:28:44,050 --> 00:28:45,650
I don't have money. Don't talk nonsense.

485
00:28:45,650 --> 00:28:48,230
How could I do such a thing?

486
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:49,730
Don't ruin my reputation.

487
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:51,590
I want to take a wife and have children.

488
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:55,390
Father. I've almost finished tilling the land.

489
00:28:55,390 --> 00:28:56,890
The weather is so good today.

490
00:28:56,890 --> 00:28:59,070
Maybe take me and Lingyin out for a walk later.

491
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:00,530
I have things to do.

492
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:02,970
What is it? Drinking with colleagues again?

493
00:29:02,970 --> 00:29:04,070
You have quite a lot of money.

494
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:09,610
No, no. I have to do official business.

495
00:29:09,610 --> 00:29:12,350
Lingyue, you are always running out.

496
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:14,330
Don't you want to stay at home?

497
00:29:14,330 --> 00:29:16,890
Not at all, mother.

498
00:29:16,890 --> 00:29:20,050
I saw that the flour jar at home
is almost empty,

499
00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:22,530
so I want to go out to buy some.

500
00:29:22,530 --> 00:29:24,770
Let Ningyan accompany you.

501
00:29:24,770 --> 00:29:29,110
Me? I need to review the dossiers, I… I can't leave if Mr. Wang doesn't come.

502
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:30,750
Stand over there.

503
00:29:30,750 --> 00:29:32,950
Want me to ground you again?

504
00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:34,830
Bring me the locks.

505
00:29:34,830 --> 00:29:36,484
Wait.

506
00:29:37,410 --> 00:29:39,730
Ladies, let's go.

507
00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:44,010
Douding, get on.

508
00:29:44,010 --> 00:29:45,450
Qi'an.

509
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:48,090
- Come back early.
- Be careful.

510
00:29:49,850 --> 00:29:52,330
Come back early.

511
00:29:55,533 --> 00:29:57,488
<i>[Picture Book]</i>

512
00:29:57,488 --> 00:30:00,811
<i>[The Dashing Swordsman Gu Ruohan]</i>

513
00:30:02,990 --> 00:30:05,610
Douding, Douding.

514
00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:09,070
You can't eat anymore. You've already had two.

515
00:30:11,030 --> 00:30:14,850
Lingyue. Lingyue, take care of her.

516
00:30:16,985 --> 00:30:18,170
<i>[The Dashing Swordsman Gu Ruohan]</i>

517
00:30:18,170 --> 00:30:20,130
How much have you eaten already?

518
00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:21,610
Let's go, eat it tomorrow.

519
00:30:21,610 --> 00:30:23,010
- Kids.
- All over here.

520
00:30:23,010 --> 00:30:26,630
What flavor do you want? The last one.

521
00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:28,130
- Take it.
- Here, take it.

522
00:30:28,130 --> 00:30:29,650
- Let's go.
- Come again.

523
00:30:29,650 --> 00:30:33,830
Take it slow. You've finished another one.

524
00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:35,910
Lingyue, thank you.

525
00:30:35,910 --> 00:30:38,690
Otherwise, I couldn't
cope with this little foodie.

526
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:43,010
She's clever, knowing you would spoil her.

527
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:46,330
Right. I saw you staying at that bookstall
for a long time just now.

528
00:30:46,330 --> 00:30:47,932
What did you read?

529
00:30:48,850 --> 00:30:51,150
That stall has
some treasured collections of poetry.

530
00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:53,530
Although I'm not a scholar like Xinnian,

531
00:30:53,530 --> 00:30:56,000
I also want to read poems.

532
00:30:56,510 --> 00:30:58,810
Do you like poems?

533
00:30:58,810 --> 00:31:00,630
Not exactly.

534
00:31:00,630 --> 00:31:04,730
They are not as good as the one you created.

535
00:31:06,090 --> 00:31:10,270
Right, Qi'an. When did you start creating poems?

536
00:31:10,270 --> 00:31:12,710
You're really a different person than before.

537
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:16,190
The you before never created poems.

538
00:31:21,490 --> 00:31:24,010
Then, what did I do before?

539
00:31:24,010 --> 00:31:26,790
- I don't know.
- You don't know?

540
00:31:26,790 --> 00:31:29,070
Before, you were always reticent.

541
00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:33,250
Father called you several times, yet you were unwilling to eat with us.

542
00:31:34,330 --> 00:31:37,150
But now, you eat the most,

543
00:31:37,150 --> 00:31:39,190
and even dare to talk back to Mother.

544
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:41,480
How arrogant!

545
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:45,690
But the current you feel like family to us.

546
00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:53,450
Candied hawthorns for sale!

547
00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:55,010
Sweet candied hawthorns!

548
00:31:55,010 --> 00:31:57,630
Qi'an, candied hawthorns.

549
00:31:57,630 --> 00:31:59,870
Why are you still wanting to eat?

550
00:31:59,870 --> 00:32:01,710
It's no use looking for Qi'an.

551
00:32:01,710 --> 00:32:04,410
Candied hawthorns are so sweet,
don't you want your teeth?

552
00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:06,870
Well, beg me.

553
00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:09,750
I'm begging you, Qi'an.

554
00:32:10,530 --> 00:32:13,670
Alright, I will go buy it for you. Wait here.

555
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:23,510
- Look.
- Butterfly.

556
00:32:29,890 --> 00:32:31,610
- Look over there.
- Butterfly.

557
00:32:31,610 --> 00:32:34,790
- Over there.
- Butterfly.

558
00:32:36,770 --> 00:32:38,924
Butterfly.

559
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,280
Look.

560
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,180
<i>[Zhou Li, Son of Minister Zhou
of the Ministry of Revenue]</i>

561
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:54,050
I want to swing on the swing. Push me.

562
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:10,250
Don't go. I will catch the butterfly for you.

563
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:13,690
- No need.
- We must catch it.

564
00:33:13,690 --> 00:33:16,490
Where are you going?

565
00:33:16,490 --> 00:33:18,770
You bad guy!

566
00:33:18,770 --> 00:33:21,170
Girl. I have caught the butterfly for you.

567
00:33:21,170 --> 00:33:22,490
Take a look.

568
00:33:22,490 --> 00:33:25,410
- It's dead.
- Don't be afraid.

569
00:33:31,450 --> 00:33:33,450
- Don't move.
- Come on, come to me.

570
00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:35,810
Come to me, hurry.

571
00:33:36,810 --> 00:33:41,990
Candied hawthorns for sale!

572
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:44,970
Sweet candied hawthorns!

573
00:33:44,970 --> 00:33:47,116
Where are they?

574
00:33:47,116 --> 00:33:48,970
What's going on?

575
00:33:48,970 --> 00:33:50,950
What have I taught you?

576
00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:53,150
Treat the ladies well.

577
00:33:53,150 --> 00:33:57,550
And you, they wanted a live butterfly,
yet you caught a dead one.

578
00:33:57,550 --> 00:33:59,230
Learn from me.

579
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:03,330
Excuse me, please make way.

580
00:34:03,330 --> 00:34:05,228
Girl.

581
00:34:06,090 --> 00:34:08,376
Move.

582
00:34:08,376 --> 00:34:10,220
Come on.

583
00:34:10,220 --> 00:34:12,048
Qi'an.

584
00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:15,570
Douding, don't be afraid. I am here.

585
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:17,910
- Here you are.
- Qi'an.

586
00:34:17,910 --> 00:34:20,890
Lingyue, take Lingyin away.

587
00:34:20,890 --> 00:34:22,490
Go.

588
00:34:25,970 --> 00:34:27,150
Sir.

589
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:29,490
Sorry, I was too agitated earlier, truly sorry.

590
00:34:29,490 --> 00:34:31,830
- Your clothes are ruined.
- Let go.

591
00:34:32,690 --> 00:34:33,744
What happened? What's going on?

592
00:34:33,744 --> 00:34:36,164
So many people.

593
00:34:36,164 --> 00:34:38,950
Come on, go to the yamen with me.

594
00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:42,110
Sir, my uncle is Xu Pingzhi,
the Imperial Sword Guard.

595
00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:43,570
The two just now are my younger sisters.

596
00:34:43,570 --> 00:34:45,210
I wonder why they have offended you.

597
00:34:45,210 --> 00:34:47,376
Xu Pingzhi?

598
00:34:47,376 --> 00:34:51,250
The one who lost the tax taels.

599
00:34:51,250 --> 00:34:53,770
Exactly, it seems you know my uncle.

600
00:34:53,770 --> 00:34:56,430
Then it's good. I will bring my uncle
and visit you another day.

601
00:34:56,430 --> 00:34:58,630
Hey you!

602
00:34:58,630 --> 00:35:01,570
Take him down.

603
00:35:09,570 --> 00:35:11,950
Who is beating the drum to appeal for justice?

604
00:35:11,950 --> 00:35:14,410
- Lingyue.
- Uncle Wang, Qi'an is in trouble.

605
00:35:14,410 --> 00:35:15,650
Please save him now.

606
00:35:15,650 --> 00:35:17,170
Also, go inform my father.

607
00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:19,610
He's at Li Baihu's place drinking.

608
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:35,590
Sir, we merely had
a verbal disagreement with you.

609
00:35:35,590 --> 00:35:37,530
You don't have to kill me.

610
00:35:37,530 --> 00:35:40,610
Sever his tendons in the hands and in the legs.

611
00:36:21,870 --> 00:36:25,424
Don't come over. Otherwise, I'll kill him.

612
00:36:26,210 --> 00:36:30,250
Do you know who I am?

613
00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:31,710
I don't care.

614
00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:35,010
Let me tell you. Even a common man would get angry.

615
00:36:35,010 --> 00:36:37,250
Once a common man gets angry, I…

616
00:36:37,250 --> 00:36:38,930
Stop!

617
00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:40,590
Make way.

618
00:36:40,590 --> 00:36:45,570
Who is so bold to commit violence on the streets
of Changle County Yamen?

619
00:36:48,170 --> 00:36:49,790
Arrest him.

620
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:54,710
I will certainly make him suffer.

621
00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:03,410
- Take them all away.
- Yes.

622
00:37:06,350 --> 00:37:09,010
What do you mean? Let go.

623
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:12,030
- Let go.
- Why did you mess with him?

624
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:14,870
He's the son of Vice Minister of Revenue.

625
00:37:16,490 --> 00:37:18,216
Have you lost your mind?

626
00:37:18,216 --> 00:37:20,250
Don't you know who I am?

627
00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:24,270
I don't recognize you.

628
00:37:24,270 --> 00:37:27,070
Go talk to the county magistrate yourself.

629
00:37:27,070 --> 00:37:28,250
Go, go! Come on.

630
00:37:28,250 --> 00:37:29,810
How dare you?

631
00:37:29,810 --> 00:37:32,030
- Let go of me.
- Go, go.

632
00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:36,470
Have you informed my uncle?

633
00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:39,930
I've sent someone to. Do something.

634
00:37:39,930 --> 00:37:42,032
Let's talk when we get back to the yamen.

635
00:37:42,032 --> 00:37:44,850
You really are good at causing trouble.

636
00:37:46,904 --> 00:37:48,570
Qi'an.

637
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:50,630
Where's Lingyin?

638
00:37:50,630 --> 00:37:54,430
She was a bit frightened, and already asleep in the side hall.

639
00:37:54,430 --> 00:37:55,944
Sir.

640
00:37:55,944 --> 00:37:58,210
Take your sister to the back hall. Don't come out no matter what.

641
00:37:58,210 --> 00:38:00,070
Yes, let's go.

642
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:04,330
Who let you go? Stop right there.

643
00:38:04,330 --> 00:38:05,910
Go away.

644
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:08,030
This is Mr. Zhou.

645
00:38:08,030 --> 00:38:09,910
Is Minister Zhou well?

646
00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:13,430
He attempted to murder me on the street. Seize him.

647
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:17,570
You are too serious. Mr. Zhou, it's just a small deal.

648
00:38:17,570 --> 00:38:18,690
We are all one family.

649
00:38:18,690 --> 00:38:20,930
You are generous, please don't blame on him, such a nobody.

650
00:38:20,930 --> 00:38:23,190
Stop this act.

651
00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:25,290
Arrest him or not?

652
00:38:25,290 --> 00:38:27,070
No?

653
00:38:27,070 --> 00:38:29,410
Fine, I'll arrest him myself.

654
00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:31,330
Someone, get that guy.

655
00:38:31,330 --> 00:38:32,810
Don't, Mr. Zhou.

656
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:36,870
I am an imperial official, and will handle matters
according to the regulations.

657
00:38:36,870 --> 00:38:38,370
Someone.

658
00:38:40,730 --> 00:38:46,520
I have a writ of complaint, suing you, bullying a young lady.

659
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,790
The plaintiff is Xu Lingyue.

660
00:38:52,050 --> 00:38:55,250
Mr. Zhou. May I have a word with you?

661
00:38:57,250 --> 00:39:03,770
Mr. Zhou. During the Year of Officials Appraisal, if a royal complaint is filed,

662
00:39:03,770 --> 00:39:08,910
I fear it might affect Minister Zhou.

663
00:39:08,910 --> 00:39:10,390
Get lost.

664
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:11,870
Jiuzhi, are you alright?

665
00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:14,450
What are you waiting for? Arrest him.

666
00:39:14,450 --> 00:39:16,000
Zhou Li.

667
00:39:17,450 --> 00:39:22,470
Assaulting someone in the county yamen. Guards, seize him.

668
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:26,170
You! How dare you catch me!

669
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:30,470
Guess if I dare.

670
00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:32,210
Alright.

671
00:39:32,210 --> 00:39:35,950
Just a mere county magistrate, how bold!

672
00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:44,390
Tell my father someone looks down on him.

673
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:46,070
Yes.

674
00:39:48,870 --> 00:39:50,110
Terrible.

675
00:39:50,110 --> 00:39:53,050
Zhou Li might be calling for help.

676
00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:55,730
It seems today you can't escape.

677
00:39:56,430 --> 00:39:57,590
Leave now.

678
00:39:57,590 --> 00:39:59,640
I will send someone
to escort you out of the city.

679
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,290
The farther you escape, the better. Leave.

680
00:40:02,290 --> 00:40:05,010
If I leave, what will happen
to my uncle's family?

681
00:40:05,010 --> 00:40:07,710
What's the point of thinking so much now?

682
00:40:07,710 --> 00:40:09,610
Just escape.

683
00:40:18,810 --> 00:40:21,430
Boss, lend me a tael.

684
00:40:21,430 --> 00:40:25,070
A tael, that's a lot.

685
00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:28,990
I'm afraid I don't have one.

686
00:40:29,830 --> 00:40:32,590
That's all. It should be enough for you.

687
00:40:32,590 --> 00:40:35,330
It's enough. Ride a horse and get to my house.

688
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:37,090
Look for a book
inside the cabinet beside my bed.

689
00:40:37,090 --> 00:40:39,110
A blue-covered book. Don't take the wrong one.

690
00:40:39,110 --> 00:40:40,520
Once you get the book,
go to the Bureau of Astronomy

691
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,110
and find a girl named Caiwei to deliver a message for me.

692
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:45,628
Xu Qi'an is in trouble, rescue him immediately.

693
00:40:45,628 --> 00:40:47,080
Alright.

694
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:52,390
Wait, can someone like me go to the Bureau of Astronomy?

695
00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:56,390
If something happens to me, no one will return this tael to you.

696
00:40:57,690 --> 00:41:01,170
Once it is done, you'll have
my entire salary next month.

697
00:41:03,470 --> 00:41:07,010
Money is not important.

698
00:41:07,010 --> 00:41:09,290
But remember to pay me back.

699
00:41:12,144 --> 00:41:13,230
- Yellow?
- Blue.

700
00:41:13,230 --> 00:41:14,784
Blue, okay.

701
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,804
Qi'an.

702
00:41:24,070 --> 00:41:33,970
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by

703
00:41:35,790 --> 00:41:38,650
Don't worry, I am here.

704
00:41:41,850 --> 00:41:43,890
Mr. Zhou. Please calm down.

705
00:41:43,890 --> 00:41:45,870
Actually, it's not a big deal.

706
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:49,090
How about I give that guy
twenty strokes with the rod to vent your anger?

707
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,930
If that's not enough, I'll give him fifty.

708
00:41:51,930 --> 00:41:54,810
- I want him dead.
- You…

709
00:41:57,290 --> 00:41:58,590
The Ministry of Justice
comes to arrest the criminal.

710
00:41:58,590 --> 00:42:00,090
Bystanders, step aside.

711
00:42:00,090 --> 00:42:02,210
If anyone interferes,

712
00:42:02,850 --> 00:42:04,790
will be punished for the same crime.

713
00:42:05,950 --> 00:42:08,930
Ministry of Justice?

714
00:42:08,970 --> 00:42:10,532
Xu Qi'an.

715
00:42:10,532 --> 00:42:11,750
You!

716
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:15,750
Xu Qi'an. Don't pretend you can't hear me. Come out.

717
00:42:19,828 --> 00:42:21,012
Take him down.

718
00:42:21,012 --> 00:42:23,096
Qi'an.

719
00:42:23,096 --> 00:42:24,170
- Sir.
- Lingyue.

720
00:42:24,170 --> 00:42:26,570
He insulted me first, Qi'an only stepped in to stop him.

721
00:42:26,570 --> 00:42:29,070
Why would Qi'an be punished?

722
00:42:31,250 --> 00:42:34,230
Whether he's guilt or not, I will make a judgement.

723
00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:35,290
Step aside.

724
00:42:35,290 --> 00:42:37,210
- Sir.
- Lingyue.
