1
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Sir.
2
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Our mistress insisted
to bring your book,
3
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,840
Don't let us hinder your studies.
4
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,760
He also said academic studies
5
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,120
maybe important.
6
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,080
But Mr. Sang,
you have just recovered from a long illness.
7
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,080
Please take care of yourself
and don't rush.
8
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Look? What did I say?
9
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Say thank you to Mrs. Li.
10
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,560
This…
11
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Sorry, that was a mistake.
12
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,320
- This is not for you.
- Wait.
13
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Luxury Dew Notes
from Spring and Autumn. Volume 17.
14
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,920
All the copies I found
at the Xiangguo Temple book market
15
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,840
the last two pages are missing.
16
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Where did you get this from?
17
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,560
- I…
- Listen, Chunlai.
18
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,960
I can keep it for a few days
then I returned it
19
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,640
after copying the last two pages?
20
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,960
It's not up to me.
21
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
I have to go back and ask...
22
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,680
Ask who?
23
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Our third miss.
24
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,120
His literary match failed,
25
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,760
and finally he gives you an ass.
26
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,520
And he plays the flute.
27
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Stop gossiping.
28
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,600
I'll tell madam
to punish you.
29
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Please let me
30
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,040
ask our third miss for permission.
31
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,800
But…
32
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,720
Wait.
33
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,640
If you know him, please talk to him.
34
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760
He holds a grudge against me.
35
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,600
He'll kick me out if I go there.
36
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,400
I don't care. I want that book.
37
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Go, hurry.
38
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,800
Sir, what are you...
39
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,320
I ruined her engagement,
40
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,200
and now I ask him for a book.
41
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,320
If I don't get the book,
42
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,480
remembering Andao's obsession with books,
43
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,800
he will continue to discuss it.
44
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,560
But I think
45
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920
I'll get beat up if I talk to him.
46
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,320
It's all Mr. Chai's fault.
47
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Sir, I'm really sorry.
48
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,440
There he is.
49
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Fast. Shouhua was waiting.
50
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Slowly. Watch your step.
51
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,040
Packaged very neatly. What's this?
52
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Yuanming.
53
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,240
It's very cold outside.
54
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,880
Why are you reading outdoors.
55
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Are you waiting for someone?
56
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Who will visit me?
57
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,640
It's just that,
58
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,680
the room is warm and makes me sleepy.
59
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Out here I feel more awake.
60
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Gentlemen, please come in.
61
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Yuanming, why did you return it
what do we send you?
62
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,680
Why do you insist on returning it?
63
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Do not take it wrong.
64
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,000
Sang Andao is eccentric and strange.
65
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080
He said he accepted the gift for no reason
66
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,760
can be damaging
good luck in our exams.
67
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,440
Besides, we can't
receiving gifts without merit.
68
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120
Do you suspect that I bribed you?
even before you
69
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,120
become an official?
70
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,480
It's just clothes.
71
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,240
The price is not expensive.
72
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,520
You know Yuanming.
73
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,560
He is not friends with us
for material gain.
74
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640
True friendships last the longest.
75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Don't you see?
76
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:25,840
Even though I live here,
77
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,160
he didn't take anything
from the Li family.
78
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Mr. Chai knows me very well.
79
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,000
That's my friend.
80
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,720
It's you.
81
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,040
Mr. Du.
82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Our third miss said
83
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000
that this amber comes from the far west.
84
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,760
It's a rare gift from someone.
85
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,800
We even send it to stores
to be embedded with jade. It's valuable.
86
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Thank goodness you found it and returned it
87
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,000
save us from trouble.
88
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520
We cannot repay your noble deeds.
89
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,440
We just have
a set of ink and inkstone,
90
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,680
which is useful for writing.
91
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Please accept.
92
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320
Everyone says ink
made by Pan Gu in Shezhou
93
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,600
is the best.
94
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Very few know
luxurious ink outside Xiangguo Temple
95
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,320
most of them are fake.
96
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Look.
97
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,960
Created by Eternal Ink
with the trademark.
98
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Over here.
99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Let me see.
100
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,960
This inkstone also looks top quality.
101
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,160
{\an8}PLUM FLOWERS MIXED WITH FALLING SNOW
102
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Our third miss also said
103
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,120
it used to belong to our master.
104
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,240
It would be a shame if it was left covered in dust.
105
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,280
If you don't accept it,
106
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360
he can only reward you with money.
107
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,040
Accept it.
108
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,360
You found the amber,
which is more valuable than gold.
109
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,040
That's a sign of thanks.
110
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400
You deserve it. Just accept it.
111
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,280
If so, pass it on
My thanks to your third miss, Chunlai.
112
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,360
How did this slip out of my hands?
113
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
It's a high quality Dengni inkstone.
114
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Too bad.
115
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Cousin, that's a really good inkstone.
116
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,440
Why so careless?
117
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Listen, Yuanming, calm down.
118
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600
I will compensate with my inkstone,
119
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,760
made from Qingzhou Hongsi stone.
120
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Don't mind this one.
121
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,520
LUXURY DOWN NOTES
FROM SPRING AND AUTUMN
122
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Express your thanks to Third Miss.
123
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Cousin, why are you surly again?
124
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Wait. I need to talk to you.
125
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Eat it.
126
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Bet on both sides.
127
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,720
Be careful. You might end up
128
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,400
won nothing.
129
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Kangning, it's so cold.
It's best to go back inside.
130
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,800
What is it?
131
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Did you fail?
132
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,520
It's almost done.
133
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,120
But I didn't think Mr. Chai
134
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,559
will drop that nice inkstone.
135
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,200
Really?
136
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Yes, he did.
137
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,640
Kangning.
138
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,720
I told you
to act in his absence
139
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,000
avoid any distractions.
140
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,240
This person has bad intentions.
141
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,640
You carve it all night.
142
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
It's good work.
143
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400
I won't blame him.
I actually thanked him.
144
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,000
Thank You.
145
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Plum blossoms mixed with falling snow
146
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,480
How many flowers bloom on the tree?
147
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,080
In fact, someone
must drink until satisfied,
148
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,360
hope like-minded people will join.
149
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Well composed poem
show gratitude.
150
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,160
So much affection.
151
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,640
Li Kangning,
You tried hard for Du Yangxi.
152
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,040
So, Kangning did this…
153
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,720
I understand. My mother-in-law likes him.
154
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,480
Makes sense.
155
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,320
He really stands out from the rest
with his looks and talent.
156
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Whoever marries her
157
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400
will be respected
as the best scholar's wife one day.
158
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,480
Who wouldn't be tempted?
159
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,760
Cousin, actually,
I'm here to persuade you
160
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,240
representing your mother.
161
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,640
If you don't want to get beat up,
162
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,280
watch your tongue.
163
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:01,480
Aunt promised
164
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,960
don't bring it up again
people you don't like.
165
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,520
It's just that there is family
166
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,920
whose wealth is comparable
with the Chai family.
167
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,080
The daughter of the family is graceful and polite.
168
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960
And you grow together
as childhood partners.
169
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640
It would be great if you two could get married.
170
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,760
Both of your families can prosper.
171
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,880
You know him. That's Liu Baniang.
172
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,200
Who?
173
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,840
You know him.
174
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,240
She is Liu Tang's daughter.
175
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,040
You usually call him "little brother".
176
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,640
- Him?
- Correct.
177
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960
How could I forget about him?
178
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,800
By the way,
I haven't seen him for two years.
179
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,320
We really have to meet.
180
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Cousin, I'm glad you're awake.
181
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,800
I'll ask Auntie straight away
arrange a meeting for you.
182
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,680
Wait for me.
183
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Li Kangning.
184
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,000
This time, you can't blame me.
185
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,440
Even the heavens are against you.
186
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Who are you? Let me go.
187
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Who are you?
188
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,960
Let go. Untie me.
189
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Not my bond.
190
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,360
You guys can go.
191
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,560
- Understand.
- Understand.
192
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,880
You kidnapped me.
193
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,880
If my wife asks,
you have to testify for me.
194
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,360
I didn't sneak out.
195
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,960
I told you, don't tease him.
196
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,320
See how you scare him.
197
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,640
Cousin, please. Untie me.
198
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,680
Cousin, untie me.
199
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,680
Baniang invited you with good intentions.
200
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Who invites guests like this?
201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,840
I'm scared.
202
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Mr. Fan, please don't be angry.
203
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Chai An told me that
204
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,240
you are locked up at home by your wife
205
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,880
to study the ledger.
206
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,200
So, that's my last choice.
207
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720
If one day your wife asks about this,
208
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,160
just blame me.
209
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,760
You make it sound easy.
210
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,040
What if he asked
211
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,000
“Why would a single young woman kidnap you
212
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,480
and not someone else?
213
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:57,840
Is there something between you?"
214
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,960
What should I say?
215
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,000
Say.
216
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Little Brother, let's get straight to business.
217
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Baniang invites you for help.
218
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Thanks to Mr Chai,
219
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,240
we find a great healer
220
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,400
who succeeded in healing
I've been sick for a long time.
221
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,960
I'm just recovering. Why are you coughing now?
222
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,920
That's because I copied this book for you.
223
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,360
How much do I owe you
from a past life?
224
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,440
OK, I'll return it.
225
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,160
LUXURY DOWN NOTES
FROM SPRING AND AUTUMN
226
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,200
Alright, return it yourself.
227
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Take a glance at Li Kangning
228
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,560
for the enchanting sound of the flute.
229
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
The Fan Family invited me
to paint this afternoon.
230
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:46,920
I need to make a draft first.
231
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Go. Do not bother me.
232
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:50,800
Fan Family?
233
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,960
Maybe that was Li Kangning's reason
to meet you?
234
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,560
Really?
235
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,120
Leshan really likes to be different.
236
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,480
So much trouble about wontons.
237
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,400
The dough is made with plum blossom water.
238
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040
And the wontons must be cooked
in chicken soup, right?
239
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Mother envied Mrs. Liang's tea shop.
240
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,760
With the Winter Solstice
getting closer,
241
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,440
he thought the wontons would sell well.
242
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,480
But in my opinion, it's too much trouble.
243
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,120
Make different fillings
and cook it all in one pan.
244
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,480
I'm sure the Hundred Flavor Wontons
will sell best.
245
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:21,800
That would be great.
246
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,480
But it's not as beautiful as plum blossoms.
247
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,240
I'm afraid of the scholar next door
won't be impressed.
248
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,760
What? Say it again.
249
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,240
At noon,
250
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Master's servant, Fan Jiu,
open the back door
251
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,600
and guided the young woman inside.
252
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,360
Wow, wow.
253
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,240
I've just been out for a while
254
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,120
and he's already brought women
into the house.
255
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480
He never gave up.
256
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,600
- Move.
- Fuhui.
257
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Kangning. There might be a problem. Watch him.
258
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,240
Fuhui.
259
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,840
FAN'S BIG HOUSE
260
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:00,760
Cousin.
261
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,160
I'm taking a big risk to help you.
262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,360
I let unmarried women
enter the house.
263
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,840
If my wife finds out,
he will skin me alive.
264
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Liu Baniang
just met someone here.
265
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,160
Should you be so anxious?
266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Why here and not at your place?
267
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,120
I'm a married man.
268
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,680
She is a single woman.
269
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,040
When did we get to know each other?
270
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,120
How to explain that?
271
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,160
If my wife finds out,
272
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,680
he will be angry because of jealousy.
273
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,760
You're not the one who will suffer.
274
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,600
Chai and Liu families
were discussing a marriage alliance.
275
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,920
He can't come to my place.
276
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,600
That's why he came here.
277
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,120
Besides, I'm here to defend you.
278
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,480
Sir, the painter has arrived.
279
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,880
I've taken him
according to your instructions, Mr. Chai.
280
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,160
- Good work. You can go now.
- Understand.
281
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,600
I hope Liu Baniang can
vent his anger and leave immediately.
282
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,480
Don't let my wife meet him.
283
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Sister, I'm scared
have to sacrifice you this time.
284
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Stop right there.
285
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040
You're back, ma'am.
Let me tell you sir.
286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360
No need.
I will find what I am looking for.
287
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,760
We'll finish this later.
288
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,840
- Mrs.
- Fuhui.
289
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Mrs.
290
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,360
Fuhui, slow down.
291
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,240
- Madam, sir is not there.
- Listen to me.
292
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,520
Fuhui.
293
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,320
Madam, Sir is not in the study room.
294
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,760
Follow me.
295
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Mr. Chai, what are you doing?
296
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Let go.
297
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Don't you want to know?
What kind of person is Du Yangxi?
298
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Please hide there.
299
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Mr. Du will be here?
300
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,840
I'm an honest man.
301
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,080
Have I ever lied to you?
302
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,640
I'm just trying to figure it out
a person's true nature.
303
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,200
I won't hurt you.
304
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Besides, we are at Fan's house.
305
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,640
- But…
- Cats hide their claws.
306
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,120
How can you marry someone
without knowing its true color?
307
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280
Kangning, I'm trying to help you.
308
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Please.
309
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Get up.
310
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,240
Fast.
311
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,800
My wife is looking for me. Shut up.
312
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,760
My lady, please be careful.
313
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,440
Miss Liu.
314
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,160
Why did you corner me here?
315
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,920
What do you actually want?
316
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,240
I want to discuss everything with you.
317
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,200
Mr. Du, you haven't told me yet
318
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,640
why did you reject me.
319
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,119
I'm a simple guy with
moderate ability, and mediocre talent.
320
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,400
You don't deserve a woman like you.
321
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Nonsense.
322
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,480
I'm sure you refuse to marry me
323
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,680
because you look down on my family
who is a trader
324
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,920
and want to marry into a respectable family
325
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,720
to approach the great lord of the palace.
326
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Then why did you stay
next door to the Li family
327
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,920
and thinking about marrying Li Kangning?
328
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,200
There is no such thing.
329
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,840
As Juren
who came for the royal examination,
330
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,600
you live next door
331
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800
family with five daughters
without staying away from those women.
332
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,040
How dare you deny that?
333
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,320
Miss Liu.
334
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,600
That's my own business,
335
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,120
don't care
336
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,920
is it true or not.
337
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760
If you like women
from a respectable family
338
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,240
because of your arrogance and ambition,
339
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,160
so I accept reality
that we are not meant to be together.
340
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,280
And I don't mind.
341
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,320
But you chose Li Kangning over me.
342
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,520
So I have to ask.
343
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,880
What do you ask?
344
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,080
That's because they are rich
or because they offered a big dowry?
345
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Even though she's beautiful,
Am I much uglier than him?
346
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,120
Even though he is talented,
do I look stupid to you?
347
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Mr. Du.
348
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,960
Take a good look.
349
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Did I lose to him?
350
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,880
No.
351
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,280
You are perfect just the way you are.
352
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,720
But the marriage was destined.
353
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,960
It cannot be forced.
354
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,760
I don't care if you reject me.
355
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,240
But you licked them while rejecting me.
356
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,840
You're clearly embarrassing me.
357
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,320
Everyone in Bianjing will think
Li Kangning is better than me.
358
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,680
Even Juren
who have not passed the royal examination
359
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,000
dare to deceive me,
threw me away, and humiliated me.
360
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,880
Don't think about leaving
if you don't give me
361
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,800
explanation.
362
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,880
Okay.
363
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,760
You want an explanation. I'll give it to you.
364
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,920
There are three things I don't value
in taking a wife.
365
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,320
First, his family background.
366
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,880
Second, the dowry he offered.
367
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,120
Three, his appearance and talent.
368
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,040
I come from a humble background,
369
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,600
living a difficult life alone
with my mother who was a widow for 20 years.
370
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,080
Others won't understand that.
371
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,400
Daughter of a rich official and merchant
372
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,320
most are arrogant and spoiled.
373
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Can they treat my old mother
and poor with kindness and respect?
374
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Can't.
375
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,480
Even if your wealth rivals Shi Chong's,
376
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,720
and you're as beautiful as a fairy,
377
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,800
You're not the "Meng Guang" I'm looking for.
378
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Fan Lianghan.
379
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Fan Lianghan.
380
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,160
There's no one there.
381
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,200
No.
382
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,640
Why did he come back?
383
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,400
- If he sees us…
- Fan Lianghan.
384
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,680
- I will have to marry you.
- Where are you?
385
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Mr. Fan is too useless.
386
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Are they there? Get out of the way.
387
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,880
No, there's no one inside.
388
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,560
Fan Lianghan.
389
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Go out.
390
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,200
- Fan Lianghan.
- Mrs.
391
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,400
Madam, I swear
no one inside.
392
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,400
No one? Then who is he?
393
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Do you think I'm blind or stupid?
394
00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,160
How dare to fool me?
395
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Fan Lianghan, you'd better come out now.
396
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,160
It would be worse if I caught you.
397
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,680
I'll open the door
and tell him everything.
398
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,880
Liu Baniang.
399
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,600
Who asked Mr. Fan
400
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,400
invite me to come paint?
401
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,320
Well…
402
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,000
Still not coming out?
403
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,400
Should I look for it myself?
404
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,480
Fan Lianghan, come out.
405
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,680
Fan Lianghan.
406
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Are you going out or not?
407
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,160
Fan Lianghan, I'll count to three.
408
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,200
Hide. Go.
409
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,840
- Fast.
- Fan Lianghan.
410
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,640
Fast.
411
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,640
Enter.
412
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,560
I'm innocent.
413
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,720
- Why am I hiding?
- Fan Lianghan
414
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,840
Please do this for me.
Please. Come on in.
415
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Open it, Fan Lianghan.
416
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,880
Come on in.
417
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Yuanming, please.
418
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,800
Fan Lianghan, open up.
419
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,720
Mr. Chai, surprising.
420
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:01,360
- Fan Lianghan.
- I know what to do.
421
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,120
Okay.
422
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,200
Fan Lianghan.
423
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,240
I know you're in there.
424
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,920
Open.
425
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,720
Open.
426
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,320
Madam, he jumped out the window.
427
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,640
- Useless.
- Useless.
428
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,920
Fuhui, please calm down.
429
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,720
Fuhui, there is a reason for this.
430
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,200
It's my fault. Don't blame him.
431
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Look for him first.
432
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,480
Talk nicely.
433
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,480
You'll find out.
434
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,160
Yuanming.
435
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,120
Yuanming.
436
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Mr. Chai.
437
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,600
That's what you did
438
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,680
very dishonorable.
439
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Yuanming.
440
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,560
The Chai and Liu families have been friends for a long time.
441
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,720
Baniang ask for my help.
442
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,280
I have no choice.
443
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:14,760
Please forgive me.
444
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,520
I hid there, just in case
if Baniang acts as she pleases.
445
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,640
I'm really sorry
we bother you.
446
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440
I will apologize to you officially.
447
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,120
Housekeeper.
Before Fuhui came back,
448
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,680
go quickly.
449
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,120
- Take Mr. Du out.
- Mr. Du, please.
450
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,120
Yuanming, hurry.
451
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,840
You trapped me.
452
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,320
That's such a mess.
453
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,440
You owe me an explanation.
454
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,680
Baniang.
455
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,600
I do this
for you to talk to Mr. Du.
456
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,240
You misunderstood me.
457
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Let's discuss the details later.
458
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,200
Go home first. Fast.
459
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,160
- I'm dead.
- Sir.
460
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,280
I'm dead.
461
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Master, don't be afraid. It's me.
462
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,560
They were both gone.
463
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Madam can't catch them.
464
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,600
That's good.
465
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,200
Who said I was hiding from him?
466
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Why should I be afraid?
467
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,440
Even though he stands here,
468
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,520
I will…
469
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,040
What are you going to do?
470
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,760
I made a stupid mistake.
471
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,600
As long as I kneel and repent,
472
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,040
how can it be my darling
scold or hit me?
473
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,400
Am I right, darling?
474
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Get up.
475
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,720
Get up.
476
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,040
- You can go.
- Understand.
477
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,920
Fuhui.
478
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,960
My cousin asked me to do this.
479
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320
Du Yangxi refused
Liu Baniang for no reason.
480
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,760
He felt humiliated
and insisted on hitting him.
481
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,480
My cousin made me do this.
482
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Look at you.
483
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,680
You made it so much worse
by saying that.
484
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,480
You did everything your cousin told you to do.
485
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Don't you know my mother wants
486
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,960
Du Yangxi married into our family?
487
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,200
Have you ever thought about Kangning?
488
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,280
You always listen to your cousin
and never cared about me.
489
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,400
How dare you not tell me?
490
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,280
Here.
491
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:30,640
Oh, darling.
492
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,720
The gentle one, darling. Sick.
493
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Kangning.
494
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,120
What Du Yangxi said
may sound sincere,
495
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,600
but not completely true.
496
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Woman from a rich family
497
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600
can also uphold
devotion to parents and moral principles.
498
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,560
I'm sure he just wants someone
from poor families for other reasons.
499
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480
He probably fooled Liu Baniang,
but can't fool you.
500
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Your evaluation of Mr. Du
501
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,680
completely speculative with no hard evidence.
502
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,200
Apart from that,
everyone has their own destiny.
503
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
We're not engaged anymore,
nothing to do with him.
504
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,640
Don't bother him.
505
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,520
This has something to do with him.
506
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,080
Kangning, you promised to marry me.
507
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,240
You keep bothering me, won't give up,
508
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,920
just because of pride
and don't want to admit defeat.
509
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,880
You have your pride.
510
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,160
I have my integrity.
511
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,880
My advice is that you let it go.
512
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,120
Don't stick to it.
513
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720
If he's a good guy, I'll let it go.
514
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920
But judging from
what he says and does,
515
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,120
he clearly had an ulterior motive.
516
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,920
You can't trust yourself to him.
517
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,720
Impossible.
518
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,680
I won't allow it.
519
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,600
Come back. I know what to do.
520
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720
- Go. Fast.
- Chai An.
521
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Chai An, since when
you broke up my marriage?
522
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,680
Fast.
523
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,080
You're too bossy.
524
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,640
Chai An.
525
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,960
Take him home.
526
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Did he really say that?
527
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,520
Assessing someone's character
from just a few words
528
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,320
that really doesn't make sense.
529
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,920
Who knows if he is jealous
530
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,400
and try to destroy your marriage
with some lies?
531
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Mr. Chai is not that kind of person.
532
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,480
But there are both of them
have lived next door for a long time.
533
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,240
Shouhua, you've read the poems and essays.
534
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,760
Didn't you praise him?
for his insight and talent?
535
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,800
You even copied his writing, because...
it hides strength and passion.
536
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,360
Even if they are bandits or criminals,
537
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,160
we have no wealth or power.
538
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,440
What do they want from us?
539
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,480
Kangning, what do you think?
540
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,560
I can't understand
what exactly does he want.
541
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,440
But it doesn't have to be him.
Aren't there other candidates?
542
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,920
Impossible.
543
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,120
Just forget it. That won't work.
544
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:09,360
What hair oil do you use?
545
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,640
I…
546
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,880
High quality osmanthus hair oil.
547
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,960
That was the first time I saw a man
548
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600
vomiting because of the smell of hair oil.
549
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,920
He deserves to stay single forever.
550
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,840
Don't tell anyone
about what happened to Mr. Du.
551
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,160
Don't tell mom either.
552
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Time reveals a person's heart.
553
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280
If there's something wrong with him,
we will know about it.
554
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,440
Come on, wait a moment.
555
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Your mother and I are best friends.
556
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,840
You come with him here
557
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,920
when I was little
and ran behind An'er.
558
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,400
I haven't seen you in years.
559
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200
You grow
become a very beautiful woman.
560
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,320
So charming.
561
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,600
I heard you travel a lot
with your father.
562
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,400
He is very reckless.
563
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,640
How can I let you run around
in a public place in the prime of your youth?
564
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Now, Chai An has grown up.
565
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Yesterday your mother told me.
566
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,520
OK, stop here.
567
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,000
I'll discuss it with your mother.
568
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,640
Madam, young master is back.
569
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,960
Mother.
570
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,000
An'er, you came back just in time.
571
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Sit with Baniang.
572
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,600
The waiter didn't know
what Baniang likes.
573
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,320
I'll tell them
what snacks do you take?
574
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Don't bother, Mom. Let me do it.
575
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Let me do it.
576
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,240
You grew up together like brothers and sisters.
Do not be shy.
577
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,240
- Mother.
- Sit down.
578
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,400
Deqing.
579
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Chai An, you said you would help me
get justice,
580
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,640
but in fact,
you are selfish.
581
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,960
Du Yangxi rejected you directly,
that pissed you off for a long time.
582
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,720
You insist on meeting him,
so I helped.
583
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,320
I just brought another audience,
584
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,120
but I help you,
so you also have to help me.
585
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,960
You're always straightforward.
Why object to that?
586
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,440
You...
587
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,720
You really tried hard
for Li Kangning.
588
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,840
But I can tell
589
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
that your mother wants me to be her daughter-in-law.
590
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,920
I'm afraid all your efforts are in vain.
591
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,320
Baniang.
592
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,600
You see the painting
and meet him in person.
593
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,480
Du Yangxi really stood out
with its literary elegance and charm.
594
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Aren't you interested?
595
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240
My wedding
completely up to my parents.
596
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,720
I'm just a young woman.
Have no opinion on this.
597
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
- OK then, forget it.
- Chai An.
598
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Do you have any ideas?
599
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,280
This man is quite difficult to understand.
600
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,000
But we are not an ordinary family
who has no power in Bianjing.
601
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,360
Even if he has a thousand tricks,
I can handle it.
602
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,120
What's there to be afraid of?
603
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,840
But your mother really wants a marriage alliance.
604
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,080
How did Du Yangxi…
605
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,520
As long as you follow my plan,
in ten days,
606
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,920
my mother will change her mind.
607
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,520
Even Mr. Du will turn around to propose to you.
608
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,840
- Agreed.
- Agreed.
609
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,600
PAN'S RESTAURANT
610
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,480
- This sucks. The fortune teller!
- Older brother.
611
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,040
It's just a prediction.
612
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,560
Why are you so angry?
613
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,200
Mr. Wang, the fortune teller,
614
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,080
said that the Chai and Liu families
615
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,800
unable to form a marriage alliance.
616
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,760
And he dared to curse my son
with a solitary life.
617
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680
I'm being generous
don't destroy things
618
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,000
right then and there.
619
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,520
But he reads your fortune
620
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,560
and write
what has happened to you.
621
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,880
Everything he wrote was accurate.
622
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,320
I'm sure he found out about it from Lianghan.
623
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,440
Even your son doesn't know
that you disappeared when you were six
624
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,320
and then discovered.
625
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,480
How could the fortune teller lie?
626
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,200
Anyway, he was wrong.
627
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Nothing can destroy a marriage
between my son and Liu Baniang.
628
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,160
I'll have to try someone else.
629
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,440
Mrs.
630
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,560
Has Miss Liu arrived?
631
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,560
The Liu family said
632
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,200
Miss Liu's carriage axle broke
right after he left the house.
633
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,360
Miss Liu thought it was a bad sign,
634
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,040
so he came back
and send people to apologize.
635
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,440
What? Is it broken?
636
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,840
Did you see?
637
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,560
Madam, bad news.
638
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,960
- An'er.
- Mother.
639
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,840
An'er, what happened?
640
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,680
How did you get hurt?
641
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,080
I'm back from work.
642
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000
The horse went crazy and started running wild
643
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,960
without reason.
644
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,920
Thankfully, no one was injured.
645
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,560
Mother, don't worry.
646
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,520
It's not serious.
647
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,720
Fast. Give medicine.
648
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Correct. Fast.
649
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,000
- Find a healer.
- Understand.
650
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,600
I hope you're not offended.
651
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,960
Your son was struck by the Lonely Star.
652
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,080
Her marital fortunes suffered.
653
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,680
Even if you find him a wife,
654
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,560
in just one month
or at most half a year,
655
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,520
disaster will surely strike.
656
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,480
There will be blood.
657
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,080
There's someone
with great energy in his luck
658
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,240
that could suppress his Lonely Star.
659
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,440
It's a shame that the marriage bond was broken
660
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,640
before it was formed.
661
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,680
It's a matter of time and fate.
662
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,640
No.
663
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,680
It should be me
did not cancel the engagement.
664
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,159
You're really cruel.
How can you do this?
665
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,679
The wound looked terrible.
666
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,120
Madam saw the doctor give a prescription
667
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:26,440
then quickly leave.
668
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,080
We don't know where he went.
669
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:29,440
I know where he's going.
670
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,840
There is news from people
the one I sent to Ezhou?
671
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,000
A message has arrived.
672
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,520
That person has been found
and boarded the ship.
673
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,480
- Don't come again.
- Mrs Li.
674
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,800
- Mrs Li.
- Go.
675
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,360
- Mrs Li.
- Go out.
676
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,520
Bring this back.
677
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,000
The Chai family is rich and influential,
678
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
with good agricultural land
and great business.
679
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,760
Their wealth and honor
unrivaled.
680
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,639
My family just runs
a small tea stall with one storefront.
681
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,040
We are no match for them
in social status.
682
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,560
That son of the Chai family
the best young man in the world.
683
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,240
He is very special.
684
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,200
But my daughter is just a village girl
685
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,760
who don't have one
education and good manners.
686
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,000
He was no match for the young man.
687
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,400
Whoever wants to approach
688
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,200
this rich and powerful family, please.
689
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,120
Even though they come begging me,
690
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,120
- I won't bother looking at it.
- Mrs Li.
691
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,680
Mrs Chai deeply regretted her decision.
692
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,600
He had long since changed his mind.
693
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,600
So, he sent us here
to apologize
694
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,840
hope you will ignore
past complaints and updating
695
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,920
a marriage bond between two families.
696
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,040
He was completely sincere.
697
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Such good besan is hard to find.
698
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Even if you hold a grudge,
699
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,880
You have to think about your daughter.
700
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,560
Yes, take a look.
701
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,360
This is all good stuff.
702
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,280
Good stuff?
703
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,240
Good stuff?
704
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,920
What's the good stuff?
705
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,960
They hate poor people
and admire rich people.
706
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,640
They are the worst of the worst.
707
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:03,920
Worst.
708
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,840
When I married my daughter,
709
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,800
I won't care
status or wealth.
710
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,880
I'll find a good family
that values education and integrity.
711
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,240
The Chai family returns
to ask my daughter?
712
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,440
In their dreams!
713
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,640
Go.
714
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,920
Take this away!
715
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,840
Go.
716
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,600
Mrs. Li.
717
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,520
Mrs. Li.
718
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,280
- Mrs Li.
- If you guys dare come again,
719
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,600
I'll kick him out! Close the door.
720
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,480
Mrs. Li.
721
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,280
Mrs. Li. Open it.
722
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,560
Why did they close the doors?
723
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,960
- Mrs Li.
- Mrs Li.
724
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,160
You're always brighter
of bright colors. Beautiful.
725
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,560
Your goose yellow dress is also beautiful.
726
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,160
It looks cheerful in winter.
727
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,360
But the waist is a bit loose.
728
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480
Mom wants to fill the blanket with
new cotton for our neighbors.
729
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,880
I'm too busy
to modify my clothes.
730
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Give it to me. I'll help.
731
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,480
But don't let it happen
your hair oil gets on it.
732
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,760
Or someone may vomit in their sleep.
733
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,200
That would be tiring.
734
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,960
The Chai family is asking for my daughter again?
735
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,240
In their dreams!
736
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,040
Close the door. Go.
737
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Shouhua, I just improvised "go".
738
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,200
The rest is exactly his words.
739
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,000
Why didn't you pay attention?
740
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,040
You didn't see
Our mother's attitude is amazing.
741
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,160
So impressive.
742
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,800
They deserve it.
743
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Why the Chai family
feel better and bully us
744
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,680
at first?
745
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,200
First he invited Kangning
to eavesdrop
746
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,480
and make Mrs Chai change her mind.
747
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,360
It seems that Mr. Chai is determined
748
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,760
to win Kangning back
whatever way.
749
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,680
But, it's not easy to change your mindset
who belittles the poor.
750
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,320
If one day Mrs. Chai
changed my mind again,
751
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,240
then our family will be humiliated.
752
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,480
Mr Chai is used to making his own decisions.
753
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,920
He decided to get engaged
and retreat whenever he wants,
754
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,960
treat me
such as pets or toys
755
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,000
who has no opinion.
756
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,080
I will decide who to marry.
757
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,640
If he insists on interfering,
I won't let it go.
758
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,320
You've seen the most luxurious accessories.
759
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,440
I wouldn't dare
offering anything ordinary.
760
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,680
I chose something special just for you.
761
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,880
This jingtai flower tube hairpin
it may seem simple,
762
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,400
but the flare is good for holding flowers.
763
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,640
You...
764
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,200
We got a lot of applications from Bianjing,
765
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,920
even to Daming prefecture.
766
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,280
I'm so overwhelmed.
767
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,640
This is their birth date.
768
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,600
Please take a look and find the most suitable one.
769
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,120
Mrs.
770
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,560
{\an8}XINHAI JIAXU YISI GUISI
771
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,240
Li Kangning. I already guessed.
772
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,480
It was heaven's will.
773
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,040
Even parents should not oppose it.
774
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,720
If you don't take my advice...
775
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,000
What if I don't accept your suggestion?
776
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,760
- Turn this around.
- Wait.
777
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,360
Please do not.
778
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,480
- Arrest him.
- Please do not.
779
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
I'm testing you
to see if you're authentic.
780
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,160
You write a few lines
then drop the paper.
781
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:41,560
Then asked about my past.
782
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,600
Even if you don't get anything right,
783
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,400
the guy under the table will fix it.
784
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,840
How could that not be accurate?
785
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,720
That's just a lie!
786
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,240
Mrs. Chai.
787
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Mr Chai arranged this.
788
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,600
I just did what he told me to do.
789
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,920
Madam, please forgive me.
790
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,840
Mrs. Chai, please forgive me.
791
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,000
DELICIOUS FRUIT PRODUCED BY PAN RESTAURANT
792
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,080
DELICIOUS FOOD AND
HIGH QUALITY BEVERAGES
793
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,160
Sir.
794
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:03,680
Gentlemen, please come in.
795
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,520
I understand.
796
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,280
Bring the horse. I'm going to the port.
797
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,520
Fast.
798
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,640
But what about madam?
799
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:13,560
Let him be.
800
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640
Sir.
801
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,200
Sir, I'm going to the port according to your orders,
but there was no one there.
802
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Didn't you find it?
803
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,560
What about guards?
804
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,480
Liu's merchant ship
should arrive at noon,
805
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,240
but I didn't see any trace of the ship.
806
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,280
I don't want to keep you waiting,
807
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,080
So, I told the others to stay
and came back alone.
808
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,120
No.
809
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,000
Liu Baniang.
810
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,760
Why did you break your promise?
811
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,160
You have agreed to my plan.
812
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:04,760
But you betrayed me.
813
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,400
What makes you say that?
814
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,840
Astrologers have pursued this profession
more than a decade
815
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,480
and rarely misses.
816
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,080
But my mother knows the trick.
817
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,600
Previously,
he always gets cheated every year.
818
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,120
The person I found
should have arrived but disappeared.
819
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,840
And just a coincidence
they boarded your merchant ship.
820
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,400
Liu Baniang. Say. Where is he?
821
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,600
Chai An.
822
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,520
Sorry, I disappointed you.
823
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:31,720
He is in the Li family?
824
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,880
- Welcome our guests.
- Understand.
825
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:46,040
Mrs. Du, please get out of the sedan.
826
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,360
Mr. Du is handsome, graceful, and elegant.
827
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,200
How come
her mother looks like this?
828
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,600
Haode, why do you sound
very judgmental?
829
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:22,800
That is not what I mean.
830
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,960
They don't look alike.
831
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,200
MRS DU
832
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,160
She's not like her mother.
833
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:34,080
She looks more like her grandmother.
834
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,560
Let's go.
835
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,160
Brother, here.
836
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:49,680
Please enjoy.
837
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,800
You're very kind.
How do I deserve this?
838
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:54,680
This is the spoon.
839
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,280
Be careful. It's hot.
840
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Good girl.
841
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,600
Thank You.
842
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:52,960
What does Li Kangning offer you?
843
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,440
He told me...
844
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,960
If you marry Mr. Du,
even though he passed the test
845
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,480
and was appointed to Hanlin Academy
or external positions,
846
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,920
the salary will be small,
and you will live simply.
847
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,800
Maybe it's okay
spend your dowry,
848
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,920
but you may have to imitate
Meng Guang ancient times,
849
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,400
remove all accessories,
850
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
replace them with old clothes,
851
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,480
and take care of your mother-in-law.
852
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,480
How can a single young woman
say something like that?
853
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:22,560
Traders value profit
above anything else.
854
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,040
I can't say that
to other people.
855
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:26,440
But you can.
856
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,480
But I also can't marry Chai An.
857
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,760
He's very clever.
858
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,680
I won't be able to take advantage of him.
859
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,440
Apart from scholars
and cunning merchants,
860
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,800
is there no other choice?
861
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,600
He changed your mind
with just a few words?
862
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,840
Hard to believe.
863
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:52,800
Who did he suggest?
864
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,520
All my older sisters are married.
865
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,840
My little brother
only nine years old.
866
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,000
I'll get more
if someone marries into my family.
867
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,120
Luckily, Kangning reminded me.
868
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,040
I don't see the big picture.
869
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,080
The problem is you won't make it.
870
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,040
Let's see what he teaches you
how to convince your father
871
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,640
to keep you at home.
872
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,720
My dear sister.
873
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,120
Traders often chase profits
rather than the truth.
874
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,000
I grew up observing
what the traders do
875
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,560
and learn to obsess
with more wealth than anyone else.
876
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,520
It's not that I want to betray you.
877
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,160
This is just my true nature.
878
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,800
Whoever offers me
highest profit,
879
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,720
I will follow their directions
without thinking twice.
880
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,920
Well done, Li Kangning.
881
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,760
How dare you stab me in the back?
882
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,760
Despicable.
883
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,360
So despicable.
884
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Chai An?
885
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,360
Chai An!
886
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,360
