1
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,040
Master Du, you are quite careless.
2
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,640
Mr. Liu is not an ordinary rich merchant.
3
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,480
His business spread across the Song capital
4
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,480
and in each state and province.
5
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Even the venerable nobles of the capital
6
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,640
often receive financial support,
7
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,840
even though they deal with it
personally.
8
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Today you offended him.
9
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,400
Maybe tomorrow
he will paralyze your hand.
10
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,640
Then, how do you test?
11
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,080
I know.
12
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Do you know?
13
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Knowing this, still brave
mock him in public?
14
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Mr. Chai, you know what I mean.
15
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000
If I don't write those words down
at the gate of his house
16
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,480
and let all of Bianjing know
17
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,160
he was angry because
failed to take the groom,
18
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,360
first,
19
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,280
You won't be able to save me
20
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,480
but took my corpse.
21
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,520
A little physical pain
22
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,560
that's something I can bear.
23
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:24,600
You are right.
24
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,640
But Mr. Du,
25
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Mr. Liu's daughter
26
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
good character and appearance,
even though it's not comparable
27
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,720
with the moon goddess,
28
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,120
and accompanied by a fairly large dowry
from the Liu family.
29
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Why not go with the flow
and make it a happy event?
30
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Maybe you already have a wife at home?
31
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Not yet.
32
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,280
I haven't taken a wife yet.
33
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,240
I haven't been matched yet either.
34
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,640
But in Bianjing,
when taking a wife or marrying off a daughter,
35
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,520
people don't care about moral character
36
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,560
but dowry and betrothal gifts.
37
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,760
This is truly dishonorable.
38
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,800
Wouldn't that make
all Jinshi and Juren
39
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,040
become beggars and parasites?
40
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,080
I hate such practices.
41
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,560
For you, Mr. Chai,
42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,480
because you have a good relationship
with the Liu family,
43
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,560
why not marry their daughter?
44
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,000
In the book, there is a house made of gold.
45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,200
In the book, there is a woman as beautiful as jade.
46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,920
This is not what you guys
are the scholars chasing?
47
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,320
If everyone was educated in the world
48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,000
study for that purpose,
49
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,960
aren't all the talents selected by the country
50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,240
be the one to chase
fame and profit
51
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,280
see beauty above truth?
52
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,600
We're not the same.
53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,640
We part here.
54
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Mr. Du, wait a minute.
55
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,200
I'm just testing you.
56
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,720
When you're friends with someone,
57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,160
I don't look at background or talent
58
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,600
but their character and ambition.
59
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Mr. Du, I'm sure we can be friends.
60
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,120
I'm speaking honestly.
Please don't be offended.
61
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,680
If you don't mind
with my simple house,
62
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,080
why not move
and stay for a while?
63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,000
So, you can prepare for the exam
64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,600
without leaving trivial matters
like money bothers you.
65
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,760
I stayed at Xingguo Temple,
66
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,000
not just because of money.
67
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,720
Many poor students live there.
68
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Very convenient for us
for literary discussions
69
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,040
and exchange lessons there.
70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,160
- I won't bother you anymore.
- Mr Du.
71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480
This is not just politeness.
72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,480
I'm scared
73
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,560
live in this rich man's place
74
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,320
will reduce my resolve
75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,240
to study diligently.
76
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Thank you for your kindness.
77
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,800
- I will go.
- Mr Du.
78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,640
Young Master, this person is really stubborn.
79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,959
He didn't want to be treated by a doctor
but insisted on leaving.
80
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,440
OK, I'll take you out.
81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,720
Andao.
82
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,280
PAN'S RESTAURANT
83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,440
Mr Du,
84
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,920
if in the future Mr. Liu
give you trouble again
85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,400
or if you need anything,
86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,720
look for me at Pan Restaurant.
87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,480
Thank You.
88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Look after yourself.
89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Today finally met a saint
90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,440
who views money as dirt.
91
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,200
Do you believe his bullshit?
92
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,240
He called our meeting,
just waiting for me to save you.
93
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,840
Official state registration
94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,000
starting from becoming a Jinshi in your exams.
95
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,280
Don't look down on him
for now humble and poor.
96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Once you get the highest score on the exam,
97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,480
he will marry the daughter of a high official.
98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520
How would he care
a merchant's daughter?
99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Unless he's stupid and sticks to it
on knowledge and reading.
100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,840
People who don't look for small profits
must be firm.
101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,120
We must not underestimate them.
102
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,400
The quiet one by his side
103
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,480
it also seems unusual.
104
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Give orders. If he comes again,
105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,920
report it to me straight away.
106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Yes.
107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080
- Come in.
- Please come inside.
108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,560
- Please come in.
- Young Master,
109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
recently Kedai Sifu
holding a literature contest.
110
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,280
Every day, they choose a topic
and ask everyone to write a poem.
111
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Author of the best literary works
112
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Tea fees will be waived
113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,960
and given additional prizes.
114
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
He didn't pick the best writers.
115
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,360
He clearly chose a son-in-law.
116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,480
But their method
117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,880
won't last more than two days.
118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Yuanming.
119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,320
Because you have no intention of getting married,
120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,600
you should hide your talent
in front of Liu Tang.
121
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Why deliberately show off your talent?
122
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,680
In this capital city,
eminent scholar
123
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,240
there are many.
124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,960
If I don't do it, what?
125
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,480
will my reputation be known?
Feeling satisfied with poverty,
126
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,320
dedication to the path,
uphold propriety and truth.
127
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,600
How will they know?
128
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,920
Be careful.
129
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,160
Let's take a look.
130
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Miss, take a look.
131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,320
CAKE
132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,320
It smells good.
133
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Sir, would you like to buy a cake?
134
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Everything is freshly baked and still warm.
135
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,120
Look at this.
136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,120
- I bought one.
- Okay.
137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Here is the money.
138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,360
- This.
- Okay.
139
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,600
Andao,
140
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,880
I know you hate it
141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,360
people who seek fame.
142
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,680
But I have to tell you.
143
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,480
To be a good official,
144
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,640
apart from caring about the country and the people
145
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
and diligent and incorruptible,
146
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,560
You also have to be flexible and smart.
147
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,280
You don't have to strictly follow the rules.
148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Apart from that,
149
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,200
how is your injury?
150
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,440
You can't fight,
151
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,440
and don't shy away.
152
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,960
You're really honest.
153
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,920
Mind your own business first.
154
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Wait.
155
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,520
Andao.
156
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Are you here for a literary match?
157
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,760
- Please come in.
- What's this?
158
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Here.
159
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,520
The literary matchmaking event has begun.
160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Please come in.
161
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,040
Please.
162
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,400
SIFU SHOP
163
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,720
A cup of crushed Qibao tea
164
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,400
and a plate of Sanzi came.
165
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,200
- Okay thanks.
- Enjoy.
166
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Li, you use this word "gaze".
well.
167
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Zhang and Wang,
168
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,480
see this article.
169
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,920
This is very nice, right?
170
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280
- Another bowl of salty soybean soup.
- Good. Quick.
171
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720
- That's amazing.
- The brilliance of these strokes.
172
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Look at this.
173
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,600
This is very well written.
174
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,840
What a beautiful poem!
175
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,800
And this one.
176
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,920
This is very well written.
177
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,880
Young Master,
178
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,080
can you see?
179
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,280
What does this sentence mean?
180
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,520
You read this sentence wrong.
181
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,200
This is an acrostic poem.
182
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,720
We read horizontally
183
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,240
starting from this side.
184
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,520
I understand.
185
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Thank You.
186
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,440
To describe the wind…
187
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,000
How about using this character?
188
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,440
Well written indeed!
189
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880
These brushstrokes are clear and strong.
190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Everyone, Pan restaurant
hold a poetry contest.
191
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,760
They invited great scholars
from the Royal Campus to be a judge.
192
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,200
They also publish
list of best scholar candidates.
193
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,600
List of the best scholar candidates?
194
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Do not go! You guys?
195
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,800
Wait. Do not go.
196
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,880
They all go...
197
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,600
You haven't paid yet.
198
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,560
Is it true that there are none?
199
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,040
what attracts attention?
200
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,840
Everything looks good to me.
201
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,280
A faint aroma wafted,
202
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Looks like it's there but not yet.
203
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,440
This is the most suitable incense
for writers and scholars.
204
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920
Sis, the incense you made this time
can sell expensively.
205
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,240
We're worried about you,
but you're talking about something else.
206
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,960
If Shouhua says it's not good,
that's definitely true.
207
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,680
Better to skip it.
208
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,800
But it's been three days.
209
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,600
The tea shop is full every day.
210
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,480
None of them meet the requirements?
211
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,400
There are some poems here
212
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,280
that you haven't read, Sis.
213
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Today, I saw Kangning
from the curtains.
214
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Nobody is handsome.
215
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Handsome?
216
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,480
You care about poetry talent
217
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:58,720
or appearance?
218
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Poetry talent is indeed important,
219
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,600
but appearance is more important.
220
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,600
Royal exams
221
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,240
selecting talented scholars.
222
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,720
How can you judge them
based on appearance?
223
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,880
There will be a provincial exam next year
224
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,680
and palace exams in March.
225
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,160
The ten best papers in the palace exam
226
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,320
all will be ranked
before His Majesty.
227
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,480
According to tradition,
228
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,240
His Majesty will meet him in person
with the best three
229
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,320
to determine the final ranking.
230
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,440
Apart from written works,
231
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,480
What else does Your Majesty consider?
232
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,800
- Self-control?
- It's an unwritten convention.
233
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Moreover, these are the three best.
234
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,200
Not a scholar
most famous this year
235
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,760
all Juren have an authoritative appearance
236
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,040
and incredibly elegant?
237
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,720
Besides, we choose a husband
for Kangning.
238
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,080
An ugly man
239
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,800
unacceptable.
240
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,080
Shouhua.
241
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,600
I'm so angry.
242
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,320
Who else annoyed you?
243
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Of course, Pan Restaurant.
244
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,680
They started
the bets of the best scholars.
245
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,880
They also invite
246
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,000
know-it-all intellectual
to evaluate his poetry.
247
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,240
They attract everyone there.
248
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,680
Stop it.
249
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
I think they did it on purpose
giving us problems.
250
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Choosing a husband is a small matter.
251
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,800
Business is a priority.
252
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,120
I want to take this good opportunity
253
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,800
to increase the reputation of Sifu Shop.
254
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,160
Now, apparently
we have to find another way.
255
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Kangning.
256
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Come on in.
257
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,200
Shouhua.
258
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,720
Are you still up so late at night?
259
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,320
I remember when I was little
Dad taught me how to paint plum blossoms.
260
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,360
So, I was inspired
and took the brush again.
261
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,440
Sis, what do you need?
262
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,560
I have something
263
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:20,000
to add to your dowry.
264
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,960
- Shao, hurry.
- Lee.
265
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,320
Sorry, I am late.
266
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120
When did literary matchmaking begin?
267
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Li.
268
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,000
- Nice to meet you.
- Let's go.
269
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,760
Let's go see.
270
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520
SIFU SHOP
271
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,680
What happened?
272
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Young Master,
273
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,800
Sifu Tavern put on a big spectacle,
274
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,520
there is a literary contest looking for a son-in-law.
275
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,040
It created a sensation throughout the city.
276
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Everyone rushes there
to watch.
277
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Zhao.
278
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,320
Mrs. Li,
279
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,320
when the family was prominent
even hold a matchmaking session,
280
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,280
they have to introduce their daughter
281
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,680
for candidates to see.
282
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Yes. So true.
283
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
You promised a literary match
personally,
284
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
but hiding your daughter.
285
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Could it be that he is not stunning at all,
286
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,240
that you planned this on purpose?
287
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,200
- Yes.
- So true.
288
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,520
He's right.
289
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Please forgive my impudence.
290
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,480
A daughter is born looking like her mother.
291
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,960
If your daughter looks a lot like you...
292
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,520
OK.
293
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,320
I think we should all head over
294
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,680
to Pan's Restaurant across the street
for poetry evaluation.
295
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,680
- Right?
- That's right.
296
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Mrs. Li, did you call us
297
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,880
come here to lazily grind ink?
298
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,560
So true.
299
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,240
How tasteless you guys are!
300
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Who hasn't
past his youth?
301
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Back to my youth,
302
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,320
those who come to apply
303
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
destroyed the eight thresholds of my house.
304
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,120
All of you, on the other hand,
305
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,320
don't provoke me any further.
306
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,920
It's a literary match.
307
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,680
Rules must be obeyed.
308
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,440
What kind of rules?
309
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,080
Come out.
310
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Are there prizes too?
311
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,880
What's this?
312
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,520
It's okay if your daughter is a little ugly.
313
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,440
The generous one.
314
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Both can be helpers
accompany the bride.
315
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400
That's an insult to student elegance.
316
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,560
Lu, please don't be upset.
317
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,960
There aren't any here
318
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,280
who really wants to marry
319
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,240
the daughter of the tea shop owner.
320
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,800
What for? His ability to make tea?
321
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,000
We're all here
just for fun.
322
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,800
- That's right.
- Correct.
323
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Well…
324
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
- What is this…
- It's pearl curtains.
325
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,760
It's worth it.
326
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,440
This is very expensive indeed.
327
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,920
I can't accept this.
328
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,160
This is a souvenir from your ex-husband
for you. Take it back.
329
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,680
This pearl curtain
330
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,080
left to me by my husband.
331
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,920
He was very hopeful
332
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,440
I can live well in the future.
333
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,600
But for me to live well,
334
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,760
The Li family must live well.
335
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,960
This pearl curtain
336
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,160
not specifically for you.
337
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,120
This is a gift for someone
338
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,320
who can protect the Li family
from wind and rain
339
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,560
soon.
340
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,880
Kangning,
341
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,080
you have to remember
342
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,560
all my words tonight.
343
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Tomorrow, you have to open your eyes wide
344
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,240
and choose carefully.
345
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,080
We made a big stage,
346
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360
not just for your wedding.
347
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,880
Even though my family is not a big family,
348
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080
all my daughters were raised well
349
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,680
and treated like pearls.
350
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,640
In the future, it doesn't matter
which family my daughter married into
351
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480
these pearl curtains
352
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,760
will accompany him to his new family.
353
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
- It's worth it.
- It's good.
354
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280
But let me say it at the start.
355
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,360
My daughter is a hundred times more valuable
356
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,720
from this pearl curtain.
357
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,800
This is just a lucky gift.
358
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,560
If someone wins him,
359
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640
that would be a blessing
for his whole family
360
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,560
and pray for good luck
for nine generations of ancestors.
361
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,080
Make way.
362
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,240
How ugly?
363
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,160
your daughter
364
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,560
until you want to separate
365
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,120
with that treasure, Mrs. Li?
366
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,320
Actually, how ugly is he?
367
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,040
She's so beautiful.
368
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,200
- Of course.
- Correct.
369
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,200
- You could say it's amazing.
- Very beautiful.
370
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,160
She is really beautiful.
371
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,720
He is very charming.
372
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Look.
373
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,560
We will choose a poetry topic.
374
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:53,560
Gentlemen,
375
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,640
take a good look
376
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Flowers.
377
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,080
- Sir, look.
- Flowers?
378
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,200
The topic of his poem is "flowers".
379
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Flowers?
380
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Flowers?
381
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,520
At first arrogant, now full of respect.
382
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,839
Your attitude changes too quickly, huh?
383
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,560
- That's right.
- That changes too quickly.
384
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,560
That's right.
385
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,880
That is true.
386
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,359
He is a two-faced man.
387
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,240
Young Miss, don't go.
388
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,200
- Why did you leave?
- Don't go.
389
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,640
SIFU SHOP
390
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,760
- Young Master.
- Go away.
391
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,440
Call someone.
392
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,720
- Who?
- Du Yangxi.
393
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Mrs. Li,
394
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,840
really anyone
winner of this poetry contest
395
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,400
can marry your daughter?
396
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Mother-in-law.
397
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,520
- Move.
- A person's words are binding.
398
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,920
If I'm too serious
399
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,240
start writing poetry,
400
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,680
don't go back on your words.
401
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,360
Who is your mother-in-law?
402
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,720
My poetry skills are much better than yours.
403
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,560
In terms of talent,
404
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,400
who can surpass me?
405
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,360
Stupid.
406
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,000
Its neck bent as it sang to the sky.
407
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,160
What's this for?
408
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,640
This…
409
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,560
In this shop,
410
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,240
there are no clear boundaries
between men and women.
411
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,200
My daughter wants to show her face
412
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,640
that's already an exception.
413
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,840
The one I baked today
414
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,600
is the best scholar cake.
415
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Best scholar cake?
416
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,000
This is good.
417
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Once the cake is baked,
418
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,840
all your poems
419
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,280
must also be ready.
420
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:05,040
I understand.
421
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,040
What are you waiting for?
422
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,040
Fast. Start writing.
423
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
- Good grief!
- Get me two cakes.
424
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600
There are lots of people out there
who wants to be my son-in-law.
425
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,320
Quickly make way.
426
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,440
Drink a kettle of tea.
427
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,520
Flower.
428
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Okay.
429
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Only these two people have the best poetry.
430
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,200
The plum blossom poem was ordinary.
431
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,000
But this one…
432
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,920
Whether read from left or right,
433
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,800
this is not poetry by any means.
434
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,720
Back from looking at flowers
Horses fly like the wind
435
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040
The horse flew like the wind
I got drunk with a little wine
436
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,320
With wine, I woke up at dusk
437
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280
It was dusk when I woke up
Back from looking at flowers
438
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,720
This is a palindromic poem.
439
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,280
It appears there is only one "flower",
440
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,360
but both lines hide the word "flower".
441
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,520
Really smart.
442
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,000
But between the two of them,
443
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,440
Who is the real champion today?
444
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,760
Both of them.
445
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,680
And neither.
446
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,120
Creating poetry requires inspiration.
447
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,760
When everyone sat down in this teahouse,
448
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,680
writing poetry is a challenge,
449
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,360
how can you write the best?
450
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Knowing they can't do it well,
451
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,920
why make that challenge?
452
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,000
The topic of the poem is ordinary.
453
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,120
Who knows, maybe they might take someone else's poetry
454
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,600
to fool us?
455
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,680
This is very nice handwriting
456
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,880
very rare.
457
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,720
I don't know much about writing.
458
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,960
How does this compare
your writing, Shouhua?
459
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,040
This goes way beyond my writing.
460
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,360
Need calligraphy
461
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,120
at least ten years of diligent practice
462
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,360
all season.
463
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,480
Not an easy job.
464
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,000
With such perseverance and talent,
465
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,680
that person must be educated.
466
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,800
But
467
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,040
I still have to test again.
468
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Limited by baking time
in the inner room
469
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,200
and surrounded by spectators in an outdoor space,
470
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,880
This round is testing
471
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,640
their intelligence and calm.
472
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,360
Know more about them
it's not difficult.
473
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,160
Isn't there a second round?
474
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,120
Kangning, go test them, you'll find out.
475
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,760
{\an8}It is difficult to judge excellence
the poetry of the two of you at this time.
476
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,760
I have a couplet here.
477
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,080
Can I ask you to match it?
478
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,960
Please continue, Young Lady.
479
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,840
This is the first line.
480
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,120
Li Boyang's surname is "Li",
481
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,720
born with knowledge.
482
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,120
Li Boyang?
483
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,040
It refers
484
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,400
on Laozi, who was born
with knowledge about everything.
485
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,560
The difficulty of this first line
lies in the facts
486
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,520
that first sentence
there are two characters "Li".
487
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,840
Not only that.
488
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,360
Characters are "born" under it
489
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,840
also parallel to the right arm
the "surname" character above.
490
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,360
It's a character dissection game.
491
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Young Miss, did you do it on purpose
complicate things?
492
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,160
Who can match
this verse right now?
493
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,400
- Yes, really.
- This is too difficult.
494
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,520
Better listen carefully.
495
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,800
My verse is “Ma Wenyuan
his body was wrapped in horse skin,
496
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,360
die without giving up."
497
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,160
"Ma Yuan" corresponds to "Li Boyang".
498
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000
"Die without surrender" corresponds to
"born with knowledge".
499
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,920
Very good.
500
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,360
- Good.
- And the character "death"
501
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,320
corresponds to the character of "corpse".
502
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,120
Very clever.
503
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,120
Clever.
504
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,440
Very good.
505
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,120
Young Master, what is your name?
506
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,400
How old are you, and where do you live?
507
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,600
I have a daughter
508
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,600
the good one
509
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,320
in appearance and character.
510
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,720
I want to get him engaged to you.
511
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,640
Congratulations, Young Master.
512
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,080
May it be a big success
513
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,400
came after the wedding.
514
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,480
Happy.
515
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,920
- Happy.
- Happy.
516
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,880
I'm Jia Ming, from Hongzhou.
517
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Thank you for your kind advice, Madam.
518
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040
But are you sure
do you want your daughter to be engaged to me?
519
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:15,880
I made a literary challenge in public.
520
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Everyone here is a witness.
521
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,200
How could it be wrong?
522
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,920
This can't be rushed.
523
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,400
I need to finish my exams
and return home first
524
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,320
then discussed it with my wife.
525
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,040
Your wife?
526
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,200
So, he has a wife.
527
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,160
Mrs. Li,
528
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,000
you will not betroth your beautiful daughter
529
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,040
with her as a concubine, right?
530
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:35,720
All the fuss was for nothing.
531
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,320
It's best to marry your daughter to me.
532
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,760
Wait.
533
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,880
You...
534
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,240
If you are married,
535
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,720
why didn't you say so from the start?
536
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,720
Madam,
537
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,480
I'm just passing by
538
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,280
and see it's very busy here.
539
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,600
I thought there was
poetry contest or literary contest.
540
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Want to find friends through literature.
541
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,520
Who would have thought
542
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,840
Your family is looking for a son-in-law
543
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,600
before the Ministry of Rites starts the exam?
544
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720
Are you fooling me?
545
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:01,800
Ha?
546
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,680
Mother, wait.
547
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,160
My Third Daughter,
he fooled us in public.
548
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,280
Young master,
because you already have a wife at home,
549
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,120
It's natural that I can't marry you.
550
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,480
There is no need to discuss pearl curtains anymore.
551
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,080
But you are still the champion today.
552
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,800
So, you can take another prize.
553
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,000
- Any other prizes?
- What's that?
554
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,840
- Another gift?
- There are other prizes.
555
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Besides the pearl curtains and you,
556
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,040
are there any other prizes?
557
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:29,160
Bright eyes, long ears, big mouth,
558
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,800
and his feet were even more nimble.
559
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,160
Even though I don't know what place this is,
560
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,440
they just barged in.
561
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,960
Today's gift really suits you.
562
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,160
They say I have sharp eyes,
563
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,600
long ears, and a big mouth,
564
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,440
and I rushed there cheerfully,
565
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,760
wherever there is joy.
566
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,240
At first, I was confused.
567
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,680
But after I thought about it,
568
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,040
he's talking about donkeys.
569
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320
Mr. Chai, you probably don't know.
570
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,640
But now,
the Li family's literary matchmaking
571
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,560
became the newest joke in all of Bianjing.
572
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,680
Do you know what people call me behind my back?
573
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,920
Best Scholar Donkey.
574
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,000
Luckily that day, I disguised myself.
575
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,160
Otherwise, my reputation
576
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,320
would be completely destroyed by the Third Princess.
577
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:22,960
Too bad.
578
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,040
What?
579
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,480
Li Boyang has the surname "Li",
born with knowledge.
580
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,800
He can make this verse.
581
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,480
This young woman definitely has talent
who is no less than me.
582
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Unfortunately I came late
583
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,480
and did not see her beauty.
584
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,760
But makes learned men submissive,
585
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,520
she is definitely a beautiful woman with talent.
586
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,520
I don't agree.
587
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,600
Chai,
588
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,200
what grudge do you have
towards Third Miss?
589
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Why do you intend
destroy his marriage?
590
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,720
No resentment or anger.
591
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,360
It's just that we met on business.
592
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,360
That little Sifu shop
593
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,720
take business this whole way.
594
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,320
Can't I give back a little?
595
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,720
Then, you are too rude.
596
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,640
You didn't see
597
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040
Mrs. Li's face
almost turning green with anger.
598
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:15,240
Very angry
until it could rip me in two.
599
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,320
Do you really think
Li Kangning will lose?
600
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,360
He has made a lot of money.
601
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,120
It's like a dream.
602
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Quickly save it
my precious curtain of pearls.
603
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,680
Next year, Haode can still wear it.
604
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,000
And next year,
Leshan can still wear it.
605
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,400
These two houses were originally one.
606
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,680
Only separated by a wall.
607
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,720
Initially this was intended to be rented to someone else.
608
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,680
I saved it especially for you.
609
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,200
I told you about this shop
brings good luck, right?
610
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,320
As I thought, it wasn't long ago.
611
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Business is growing.
612
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,480
You extend the shop lease for another two years.
613
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Now you also rent this page.
614
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,640
Bless your future
615
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,200
there will be no end.
616
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,160
Sorry you waited.
617
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,000
The wall between these two houses
too short.
618
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,520
If you rent it to someone else
619
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,720
they will take a chance
spying on my back yard.
620
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,640
Right?
621
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,560
You are right.
622
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,520
If so,
623
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,960
I'll hand you the key.
624
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,560
- Make sure to store it safely.
- Yes.
625
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,760
You should call "good woman"
to get porridge.
626
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,000
Good woman.
627
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,600
This girl is quite beautiful.
628
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,920
- Enough.
- Mrs.
629
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Okay. Now I have the key
630
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,320
let's drop the formality.
631
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,440
I'll come to you if there's anything.
You can go now.
632
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,880
- Make sure to come to me.
- Be careful.
633
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,960
- Come.
- I'm not delivering.
634
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,440
Come to me.
635
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,040
This. Take this.
636
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,640
The hawkers
who roam the streets
637
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,320
really cunning and dangerous.
638
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,880
They are experts at finding loopholes
sneaking into people's private places.
639
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,400
Your sister is still small.
640
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,880
In the future, when I'm not home,
641
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,200
don't open the door for them.
642
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,160
I know.
643
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,200
Mother,
644
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,480
since that literary match,
645
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,920
lots of parades wandering around
outside our door all day.
646
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,720
I've seen them several times
exit time.
647
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,200
- That's scary.
- So true.
648
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,400
Our household is all women.
649
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,440
Inevitable
we attract the attention of assholes.
650
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,440
Luckily, we often do
visiting each other with the Fan family.
651
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,800
Otherwise, our lives will
652
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,520
- far from peaceful.
- This.
653
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,800
I have to get married sooner
you two aren't any slower.
654
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,480
That will solve it
one of my worries.
655
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,000
Mrs. Li, don't worry.
656
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080
We are here to guard your gates.
657
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,640
Thank You.
658
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,960
This porridge is ready.
Bring it back and share it with them.
659
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,280
Okay. Thank you, Young Miss.
660
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,440
Go. Don't spill.
661
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,520
Remember to return the bowl.
662
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,480
Okay.
663
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,520
I hold it.
664
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Where is Shouhua?
665
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Leshan has a cold.
666
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,280
Haode took care of him inside.
667
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,320
Shouhua said he thought about it
668
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,960
her ex-husband's recipe.
He goes to get the medicine.
669
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,040
He returns.
670
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,840
Shouhua.
671
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,880
You...
672
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,160
- What happened to you?
- He froze stiff in the middle of the road.
673
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,560
I was passing by.
674
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,880
He froze.
675
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,040
Poor young man.
676
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,800
- Can he survive?
- Qiongnu, hurry.
677
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,760
- The water is coming.
- He froze.
678
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,160
He's so cold. Fast.
679
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,120
- Get him some ginger soup.
- Okay.
680
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,560
Poor kid.
681
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,280
Wait.
682
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Here he is.
683
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Don't save him. Stop.
684
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,360
Don't sleep here.
685
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,960
- Get out of bed.
- Mother, he's not awake yet.
686
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,080
- What are you doing?
- Wait. Kangning,
687
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,040
don't you remember him?
688
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,640
He was the man from a few days ago…
689
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
He's a man from the literary matchmaking days.
690
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,320
Here he is.
691
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,680
- Right? You recognize him.
- He is.
692
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Such a heartless criminal
deserves to die of cold.
693
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,640
Let's beat him to death.
694
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,960
- We won't save you.
- Mother.
695
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,920
- Stop it.
- Mother.
696
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,680
Don't. It's okay if we are
let him freeze to death earlier,
697
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,920
but if you throw him out now,
698
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,160
those who don't know the whole story
699
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,880
can condemn us as people
heartless and faithless.
700
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,720
Mother, I was the one being teased
I don't even hold a grudge.
701
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,760
Doesn't it save lives?
better than food donations
702
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,240
- and donate money?
- Xing…
703
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Xingguo Temple…
704
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,320
There's someone there.
705
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Who is there?
706
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,520
There's someone there.
707
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,160
He kept mentioning Xingguo Temple.
Who do you think is there?
708
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Maybe he's Juren
who came here from the royal exams
709
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,360
and he was worried about his luggage.
710
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,720
In my opinion,
711
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,960
we can send messengers
to Xingguo Temple
712
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,120
to find out the details
713
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,800
and take care of his belongings,
714
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,280
especially poetry and essays
which he regularly wrote,
715
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,720
- to make sure it doesn't get lost.
- You can't go.
716
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840
You two are too kind.
717
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Because we know its origin,
718
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,680
we send him to Xingguo Temple.
719
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,240
I don't want to feed it
This wolf-hearted bastard.
720
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Mother, he was forced to live in Xingguo Temple.
721
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Who is taking care of him there?
722
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,240
If you send him and he dies on the road...
723
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Mother, he is Juren after all.
724
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Juren, huh?
725
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,120
We have to save him.
726
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,760
But we have to find out
if he is married.
727
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,320
We won't save him if he's married.
728
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,800
- We won't save him.
- Okay.
729
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,240
You deserve to freeze to death.
730
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,200
What did you say?
731
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,640
I was told to bring Mr. Du
732
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,240
charcoal and cotton clothes
for winter.
733
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,760
But the temple guard said he moved.
734
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Move to where?
735
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,160
He said Mr. Du has a fever.
736
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,440
He went around looking for medicine for him.
737
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,920
Unfortunately,
he also fell ill on the side of the road
738
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,120
and was rescued by the Li family.
739
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,160
The Li family also took the goods
740
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,720
along with his sick friend.
741
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,880
Yes,
742
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,400
why the Li Family of all people?
743
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,520
I've checked.
744
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,120
Leshan had taken medicine and was sweating.
745
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Now he sleeps soundly.
746
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,080
Save the medicine dregs
747
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,440
and send it to the man
748
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,840
to avoid looking for a healer.
749
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,760
If not, remembering that Mom is frugal,
750
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,560
he wanted to throw them both out.
751
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,760
I understand.
752
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Chunlai, you can continue.
753
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Those two people
754
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,480
living in a cramped room
755
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,360
as small as a chicken coop.
756
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,160
Besides the worn slate,
757
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,280
some brushes are broken,
758
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,000
and several volumes of ancient books,
759
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,320
what remains is an oil lamp
760
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,520
which doesn't even have a drop of oil
761
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,000
even if you rub it for three days.
762
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,920
The temple guard said
763
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,960
if there is a day when they
764
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,200
don't make a kiosk to sell writing,
765
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,160
they might not fill their stomachs.
766
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,440
In this world,
there are Juren who are really poor.
767
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,440
It's amazing.
768
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,160
If so, he's lying
769
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,440
when he said he had a wife.
770
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,160
That poor,
how can he support his wife?
771
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,080
To collect travel money
to the capital to take the exam,
772
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,200
it is common for people to sell land
and borrow money.
773
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,040
Besides, I found out
in their book collection
774
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,840
many rare hand copy editions,
rarely seen on the streets.
775
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,400
It seems,
776
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,800
whenever these two people
have a little money,
777
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,760
they spend it
at the book market at Xiangguo Temple.
778
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,800
Shouhua, you mean
are they master and servant?
779
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,040
No.
780
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,040
The temple guard said
these two people are quite strange.
781
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
They often exchange clothes.
782
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,600
And take turns manning their writing booth.
783
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:16,960
I understand.
784
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,360
Even though they are poor Juren
who went to the capital for exams,
785
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,920
definitely need to go to a friend.
786
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,639
Without a servant by his side,
787
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,000
can't enter the gate of someone else's house.
788
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,239
Pretend to be each other's servants
789
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,480
it was a good way to save their face.
790
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:29,920
Shouhua, your findings are quite great.
791
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,400
Actually you found two Juren.
792
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,440
These two know-it-all scholars
really interesting.
793
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,679
How strange.
794
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,000
- Two scholars.
- Mother.
795
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,199
- Leshan is much better now.
- Two.
796
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:48,520
Mother?
797
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,000
Two scholars.
798
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,400
Did you hear that?
799
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Hear what?
800
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,679
He looked very happy.
801
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:05,600
Yuanming,
802
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,840
if Cousin Fan didn't say,
803
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,680
I wouldn't have known you moved here.
804
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,960
How can you live
in a very simple place?
805
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,280
Deqing.
806
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,040
Quickly pack Mr. Du.
Take him to my house to recuperate.
807
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:16,960
- Mr Chai…
- Yuanming,
808
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,960
This time, you have to listen to me.
809
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,160
Do.
810
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,000
- Mother-in-law.
- Mrs Li.
811
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:27,840
What's wrong with my house?
812
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,440
He can't stay here?
813
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,560
My whole family lives here,
814
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,920
and we are fine.
815
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Mrs. Li, you misunderstood.
816
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,920
I do not mean it.
817
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,480
Mother-in-Law,
818
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,240
My cousin didn't mean that.
819
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,240
I mean this page
Originally used as a warehouse.
820
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,080
And it will be uncomfortable for Mr. Du
821
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,720
if he wants to study for the exam.
822
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,840
What's uncomfortable?
823
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000
He lived in a wing room of Xingguo Temple.
824
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,040
Now you can't live here?
825
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,560
Is the roof not tile enough?
826
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,320
or is the floor not brick enough?
827
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,280
Or does the Chai family own it?
one wall more than the other?
828
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Mrs. Li,
829
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,280
I really mean well.
830
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,960
The Li household was all women.
831
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,280
It would be uncomfortable
for young men stay long here.
832
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,760
Two courtyards separated by a wall,
833
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,240
and each has its own gate.
834
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,960
This is completely disconnected.
835
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:17,200
As for me, I have planned
836
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,960
to rent out the east and west wings
837
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,280
and use the main room as a warehouse.
838
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,120
But our household is all women.
839
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Not worth renting
on complicated tenants.
840
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,200
For both of you,
you are good students.
841
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,520
If you stay at my place,
842
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,520
You can study with a peaceful mind
843
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,840
and help me look after my house.
844
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,840
Sifu's shop is often visited
many literary guests.
845
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,360
So, there will be no shortage of satire.
846
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,480
I'll reduce the rent
847
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,480
and provide food every day.
848
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,880
You can help by writing on the booth.
849
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Isn't that convenient for both parties?
850
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,080
But Mrs. Li, if Yuanming stays…
851
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,480
But the healer also said
852
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,360
the situation of your friend in the other room
853
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,520
very weak.
854
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,720
He was like a tree whose roots were damaged.
855
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,320
If you move,
it could mean death for him.
856
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,400
Young Master Du,
857
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,720
you have to decide for yourself.
858
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,160
Yuanming, say something.
859
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:15,280
Chai, Mrs. Li is full of good intentions
860
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,640
and consider all aspects.
861
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,520
To reject him was truly rude.
862
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,000
So, I have no choice
apart from accepting his kindness
863
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,600
and return the favor in the future.
864
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,840
You called me out early in the morning
865
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,640
to accompany
met these two scholars.
866
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,280
If you don't come,
will the Li family let me in?
867
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,920
Cousin, what do you want?
868
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,240
What are you doing?
869
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,880
I just want to know
what's wrong with this wall
870
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,040
until you look at it for a long time.
871
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,280
This wall
872
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,800
too high.
873
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,600
Too high?
874
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:31,720
Mother.
875
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,240
Shouhua. Kangning.
876
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Come here quickly.
877
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,520
- Come here quickly.
- Why the rush?
878
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,520
What are you doing?
879
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,720
What's this for?
880
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,400
You... This...
881
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,800
You...
882
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,400
Who are you guys?
883
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,760
How to tear down walls
without talking to the owner?
884
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,960
Who are they?
885
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,400
Mrs. Li, don't be upset.
886
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,240
My master told us to clean up
887
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,160
and reorganize this place
888
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,360
so that Mr. Du can live comfortably.
889
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,720
I'll tell them to be gentler
890
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,800
and don't bother you.
891
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,320
So, what's the problem with this wall?
892
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,640
Household behind the wall
all women.
893
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:19,000
Real men prevent problems before they happen
894
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:19,920
and avoid suspicious places.
895
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,640
I told them to raise the walls
this is several tens of centimeters short
896
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:23,920
eliminate the reason for gossiping.
897
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,800
And Mr. Du agrees to this.
898
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,920
- What do you think?
- I think…
899
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,720
You...
900
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,720
Yuanming, you are still sick.
901
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,200
You need someone to take care of you.
902
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,720
I'll just leave these two here
903
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,000
to prepare medicine, serve tea,
904
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,560
and prepare your bed.
905
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,400
You can't
always trouble the Li family.
906
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,920
After all, they are all women.
907
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,320
Chai,
908
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,080
you may not know
909
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,400
Andao, the guy next door,
910
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,480
How stubborn can he be?
911
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,760
If women serve him nearby,
912
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,960
I'm afraid he might want to
913
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,880
threw himself into the lake when he woke up.
914
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,800
For me, when I study,
915
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,640
there's nothing I'm more afraid of
apart from the noise of people.
916
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:02,800
Can't ask them
917
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:03,840
not to talk.
918
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,440
They don't need to stay.
919
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,320
I know you won't get used to it.
920
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,960
- Lingyao
- Yes.
921
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,000
Starting today.
922
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,720
You stay here to serve Yuanming.
923
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,680
Understand.
924
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Yes…
925
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,200
You must not refuse a male servant.
926
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,520
If you refuse again,
927
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:19,640
I will be very angry.
928
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,920
Okay.
929
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,560
I'll accept it.
930
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,240
I heard Mr Sang
931
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,280
still not recovered after taking the medicine.
932
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,680
Maybe the healers here are ineffective.
933
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,840
To avoid unwanted things,
I'm specially invited
934
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Physician Liu of Yutang Gang
935
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,720
expert in treating flu-related illnesses.
936
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,680
He is guaranteed to recover quickly after treatment.
937
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,200
Be careful.
938
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,600
Be careful. Slowly. I hold it.
939
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
He didn't just raise the walls,
940
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,960
they also assigned servants
to watch the gate.
941
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,480
They treat us like thieves.
942
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,240
Guests take over as owners.
943
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,640
Visitors become hosts.
944
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,920
What do they want?
945
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,600
Shouhua, what are you laughing at?
946
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,040
Today, I finally understand
947
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,400
meaning "evil always wins
948
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,360
of justice."
949
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,080
Kangning,
950
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,120
we managed to keep them here.
951
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,280
But it is still difficult to make our wishes come true.
952
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Then, wait and see
953
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,440
in the end who is the bad one.
954
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,080
Young Master,
955
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,640
the page has been cleaned.
956
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:33,360
Do you have any more instructions?
957
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,160
Too short.
958
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Short?
959
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,560
From where
960
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,960
the sound of the flute coming?
961
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:41,480
A crow nests here,
962
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,200
noisy day and night
963
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,160
and surprising the patient,
until you can't rest properly.
964
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:46,520
How can it recover if this continues?
965
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:48,880
Do you know how to take care of everything?
966
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,680
Young Master, I told them earlier
cut down this tree.
967
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:52,920
But afraid of the sound of cutting down trees
968
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,600
will disturb the peace.
969
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Parents often say
970
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,480
when crows nest somewhere,
971
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,160
there must be misfortune.
972
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:02,120
I don't care about these superstitions.
973
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,120
But they face an important test.
974
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,600
So, it feels unlucky.
975
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,640
Apart from that,
976
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,240
cutting down a tree only takes half a day.
977
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,200
If people can't stand the sound of saws,
978
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,640
they have to endure
the sound of crows for another two months.
979
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:11,760
Can't you count?
980
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:12,880
How dare you say it
Isn't that because of your laziness?
981
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,760
You are right. It's all my fault.
982
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,640
Young Master, you are indeed determined.
983
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:18,200
Without the sound of crows in the future,
984
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,840
they can concentrate on studying.
985
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,760
No.
986
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,160
He waited for me to argue with him.
987
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:30,720
Don't be fooled.
988
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:34,200
Kangning.
989
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,280
Kangning.
990
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Try harder.
991
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,880
Can get two more dishes
tonight at Pan's Restaurant.
992
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,240
Okay.
993
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,600
The crows are noisy every night,
994
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,760
made Mr. Sang
rolled around last night.
995
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:49,840
That's very annoying.
996
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,080
Cutting down trees is a good thing.
997
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,280
Lingyao,
998
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,200
your master
999
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,120
what an interesting person.
1000
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,960
No. I have to intervene.
If not,
1001
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,680
they will tear down my yard.
1002
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,040
Mother,
1003
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,440
wasn't it before
You don't like the crow
1004
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,480
because it's noisy?
1005
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960
You also complained about that tree
drop the leaves all over the garden,
1006
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,080
can't be swept clean.
1007
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,520
You said sooner or later
I'll have someone cut it down.
1008
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,120
They disturbed Kangning's performance.
1009
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,760
Kangning, you don't look good.
I hope you're not upset.
1010
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Fuhui, stop teasing me.
1011
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,400
Can't you see that Mom is also upset?
1012
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,160
That's very annoying
1013
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:31,640
until I go crazy.
1014
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,720
Mom, if you're worried,
1015
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,080
just hire a good matchmaker
1016
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,280
to talk to them.
1017
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,960
You're a silly girl, you don't know anything.
1018
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,600
Go.
1019
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,120
You think Mom doesn't want to?
1020
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,200
The last few days,
1021
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,440
I investigated clearly.
1022
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,760
Du Yangxi was very aloof.
1023
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,440
He openly refused
Liu family's marriage proposal.
1024
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,560
Do you know the Liu family?
1025
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,520
They are rich and powerful.
1026
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,000
On the main road outside Chongming Gate,
1027
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,080
more than half of the shops
theirs.
1028
00:44:58,720 --> 00:44:59,840
Now the news is spreading,
1029
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,280
everyone praises him
1030
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,720
because of his humility
and high integrity
1031
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,920
thinks he's a real man.
1032
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,280
He rejected rich and noble families.
1033
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,600
How could he like it
1034
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:09,880
the daughter of a poor teahouse?
1035
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,040
As for that Sang…
1036
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,760
- The Yanrang.
- Correct.
1037
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,960
When he was at Xingguo Temple,
1038
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,400
either he was reading in his room
1039
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,440
or sell calligraphy at their stall.
1040
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,160
He never socializes
1041
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:22,400
with other students.
1042
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,080
Because of his silence,
1043
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,240
people nicknamed him "The Stone".
1044
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,240
He's also a weirdo.
1045
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,400
So what?
1046
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,440
On a heavy snow day,
1047
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,040
not my family
be kind enough to take him in
1048
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,440
offering food and medicine,
1049
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,960
he could have starved to death
or cold somewhere.
1050
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,480
If you dare not return the favor,
1051
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,800
Mother will make him famous in Bianjing.
1052
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,240
Obtained marriage
from forcing gratitude
1053
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,160
will only bring endless hatred
1054
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:44,280
and hostility.
1055
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,040
Mom, we know
You want to marry off Kangning.
1056
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,520
But you can't push it
into the fire pit.
1057
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,960
Haode is right.
1058
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Except for this wedding
something he pursued at all costs.
1059
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,080
That would be more difficult.
1060
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,920
We can't let a girl
waiting in the bedroom
1061
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,280
to apply first, huh?
1062
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,120
What's that there?
1063
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,720
Mom is worried there isn't one
of those who passed the exam.
1064
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,840
So, he told me to move it
all their old books and writings go here
1065
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,680
to find out more
about them.
1066
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Understand.
1067
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,720
He said, people cannot do business
with a forced heart.
1068
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,440
If we want them
ask voluntarily,
1069
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,440
we have to adjust it slowly.
1070
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,360
Ask them to return the book to me.
1071
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,160
Andao,
1072
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,560
no one stole your book.
1073
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,600
The doctor said you just woke up.
1074
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,560
- Don't be too tired.
- I'll say it again.
1075
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,120
I want my book.
Tell them to give it back to me.
1076
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,440
If you can't smell the fragrance of books,
I'm really going to die.
1077
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,080
My book. I want my book.
1078
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,960
