19
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:45,039
Min'er,

20
00:01:45,779 --> 00:01:50,919
this silver-gilded Ruyi headdress is for you.

21
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Thank you, Mother.

22
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Yan'er,

23
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,519
although you're not engaged yet,

24
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:12,680
I give this pair of silver, jade, pearl earrings to you.

25
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,060
Thank you, Mother.

26
00:02:18,659 --> 00:02:21,399
These two are

27
00:02:21,399 --> 00:02:24,960
my favorites among my dowries.

28
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,400
When you get married,

29
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,839
I can't keep you company all the time.

30
00:02:29,839 --> 00:02:34,479
Let these two pieces of jewelry accompany you both on my behalf.

31
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:36,880
Little Three is getting married.

32
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:38,600
First Madam.

33
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Congratulations, Sister-in-law.

34
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,220
Thank you, thank you.

35
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:44,240
I also want to congratulate Second Madam and Third Sister.

36
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,000
Thank you, thank you.

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,320
These are the dowries prepared for Little Three from our family.

38
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,380
I brought them here to show you.

39
00:02:51,099 --> 00:02:53,359
I appreciate your concern, thank you.

40
00:02:53,359 --> 00:02:55,939
Congratulations, Second Madam.

41
00:02:55,939 --> 00:02:57,839
Madam Kou.

42
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,320
All is going well,

43
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,020
but why are Fourth Sister's eyes red?

44
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:08,220
She couldn't bear to part with her third sister so she cried.

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,919
Sister-in-law, just let me know if you need any help.

46
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,576
- There's no need... Yan'er.
- Since First Madam is so kind to offer, we'll take your offer.

47
00:03:15,576 --> 00:03:18,739
As Elder Sister and Fourth Sister are good at embroidery,

48
00:03:18,739 --> 00:03:22,420
why don't you help embroider a wedding dress for Min'er?

49
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:25,559
I fear we can't as it's less than a month before the marriage.

50
00:03:25,559 --> 00:03:30,739
You were able to use boundary method to embroider "Yan" in a moment.

51
00:03:30,739 --> 00:03:32,179
There's almost a month left.

52
00:03:32,179 --> 00:03:35,120
Such time is more than enough, isn't it?

53
00:03:46,802 --> 00:03:48,400
<i>[Firewood Office]</i>

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,810
<i>Lord Liang.</i>

55
00:03:49,810 --> 00:03:50,800
<i>Oh.</i>

56
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800
<i>Official Qiu will be my father-in-law.</i>

57
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,760
You can just call me Liang Yi.

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,060
The reason I came here,

59
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:03,700
firstly, is to show my appreciation for the betrothal gifts.

60
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:09,400
Secondly, I have some questions on my mind.

61
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,420
As my daughter is an ordinary girl,

62
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:16,060
what makes her worthy of your effort?

63
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:20,320
Do you want to hear the truth or the platitudes?

64
00:04:20,859 --> 00:04:22,959
Of course, I want to hear the truth.

65
00:04:24,119 --> 00:04:26,640
To be honest with you, I investigated your background.

66
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,760
You're an incorruptible man of integrity.

67
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,760
I've led Firewood Office many years.

68
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,300
It's very rare to see someone like you.

69
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,359
Since I chose you as my father-in-law,

70
00:04:38,359 --> 00:04:40,759
I'll just cut to the chase.

71
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,059
Why I put much effort on Qiu Min,

72
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,140
actually, it's since I have my eye on you, Official Qiu.

73
00:04:55,979 --> 00:05:00,660
I hold a low level position with no power in the imperial court.

74
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:03,380
Although my family is a baron,

75
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,060
my elder brother inherits the title.

76
00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:07,780
You do hold a low level position,

77
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:10,419
but your father was Chief of Imperial College.

78
00:05:10,419 --> 00:05:13,040
His students and former colleagues are in our world.

79
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,879
Even if your father passed away, the world's scholars

80
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,920
will more or less show some respect to Qiu Family.

81
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,020
Those are just casual acquaintances.

82
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:24,739
It's clear and light as water.

83
00:05:24,739 --> 00:05:28,280
If you need us to do things, with Qiu Family's small reputation,

84
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,179
I fear it won't be useful to you.

85
00:05:31,179 --> 00:05:33,359
I don't expect you to order those people around.

86
00:05:33,359 --> 00:05:35,279
I don't need anything from them either.

87
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,919
I just need you to help me select talents.

88
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:42,000
Recommend those useful to me.

89
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:44,139
Selecting talents is made by

90
00:05:44,139 --> 00:05:46,919
Ministry of Civil Service Affairs and Imperial College.

91
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:50,740
Lord Liang, I fear you're asking the wrong one.

92
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:54,340
In my opinion, compared to Northern Liang,

93
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:56,259
we, Dashuo, have three big weaknesses.

94
00:05:56,259 --> 00:05:59,879
We have superfluous troops, unnecessary expenses, and incompetent officials.

95
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:03,860
Now Northern Liang eyes us and the vagrants have been rebelling.

96
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:06,920
Many incompetent, corrupt officials are in the court.

97
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,820
If there's another invasion,

98
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:10,920
we, Dashuo, may lose the right to deal

99
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
and ally with Northern Liang.

100
00:06:16,119 --> 00:06:21,900
Firewood Office eliminating those people was deliberate on your part?

101
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,820
Most of them deserved it.

102
00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:28,459
The reason I eliminated them is surely since I need a group

103
00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:31,679
who are capable and dare handle those positions.

104
00:06:31,679 --> 00:06:34,139
Selecting talents isn't my strength.

105
00:06:34,139 --> 00:06:37,259
Men in Ministry of Civil Service Affairs are untrustworthy.

106
00:06:37,259 --> 00:06:40,319
You're the only one I can seek help from.

107
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,660
Then from the military,

108
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:49,579
you sought out General He.

109
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:55,520
Since you ask, there's no need to hide it from you.

110
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,959
Yes.

111
00:07:02,699 --> 00:07:08,039
Lord Liang, you're a precocious and wily man.

112
00:07:08,039 --> 00:07:11,980
I'm fully aware of it today.

113
00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:16,499
I think you've planned for this since that day

114
00:07:16,499 --> 00:07:20,040
when you mediated my family affairs.

115
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:35,319
If you subtract people removed by Firewood Office this past year or so,

116
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,120
what can you see?

117
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,699
Most were from Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Revenue.

118
00:07:40,699 --> 00:07:42,620
They are all wealthy ministries.

119
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:44,820
It's the only part you can see.

120
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:47,220
Look.

121
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:49,879
Xia Zheng Ji from Ministry of Revenue, whom he removed,
<i>[Xia Zheng Ji]</i>

122
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:53,259
his deputy was top scholar in sixteenth year of Chengzhao,

123
00:07:53,259 --> 00:07:55,340
without promotion for many years.
<i>[Vice Minister of Ministry of Revenue, Yuan Ji]</i>

124
00:07:55,340 --> 00:08:01,863
Once Xia Zheng Ji left, this top scholar could rightly take Xia Zheng Ji's place.

125
00:08:01,863 --> 00:08:05,299
So you're saying Liang Yi was bribed by this man?
<i>[Vice Minister of Ministry of Revenue, Yuan Ji]</i>

126
00:08:05,299 --> 00:08:08,359
Liang Yi doesn't care about such little money.

127
00:08:08,359 --> 00:08:10,079
His true purpose

128
00:08:10,739 --> 00:08:14,060
is likely to secretly control imperial administration.

129
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:16,620
"Secretly control imperial administration"?

130
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,120
Look.

131
00:08:24,799 --> 00:08:27,182
Why would Liang Yi marry Qiu Family's daughter?
<i>[Qiu Rong, Qiu Yan, Qiu Min]</i>

132
00:08:27,182 --> 00:08:28,540
<i>[Qiu Rong, Qiu Yan, Qiu Min]</i>

133
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:32,439
It'd be a joke if you said he fell for Qiu Family's Third Miss.
<i>[Qiu Min]</i>

134
00:08:32,439 --> 00:08:35,619
He isn't one who indulges in romantic relationships.

135
00:08:35,619 --> 00:08:38,960
Although Qiu Family is a humble family, they accumulated deep resources.

136
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,526
Qiu Yi's father had students all over the world.
<i>[Vice Minister, Ministry of Public Works, Qiu Yi]</i>

137
00:08:43,526 --> 00:08:46,519
It's the main reason Liang Yi has his eye on Qiu Family.

138
00:08:48,340 --> 00:08:50,100
Once Qiu Family and Liang Yi join forces,

139
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,059
one will be responsible to select talents,

140
00:08:52,059 --> 00:08:54,839
and the other will eliminate obstacles.

141
00:08:55,740 --> 00:08:57,279
Within a few years,

142
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,340
he'd be able to secretly control the imperial administration.

143
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:03,800
It seems you think we must rid Qiu Family no matter what.

144
00:09:04,819 --> 00:09:07,240
I can't sit and watch the imperial government

145
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,419
fall into the hands of that villain, Liang Yi.

146
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:31,250
<i>[Taiying Temple]</i>

147
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:34,340
Aunt Qiu. Cousin Min.

148
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:36,780
Qiu Yan, what a coincidence.

149
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,719
Young Master Qin, are you going to the temple, too?

150
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,780
Today is the fifteenth.

151
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,699
So I want my family's safety amulets from the temple.

152
00:09:43,699 --> 00:09:45,780
I didn't expect I'd meet you all here.

153
00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:47,560
It is fated.

154
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,680
Why don't you travel with us?

155
00:09:55,699 --> 00:09:58,420
Then I'll respectfully accept.

156
00:09:58,420 --> 00:10:01,420
Xiu Yu, you all can wait outside the gates.

157
00:10:01,420 --> 00:10:03,020
Yes, Madam.

158
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:06,619
Bei Xue, you wait here.

159
00:10:06,619 --> 00:10:08,219
Yes, Master.

160
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:22,480
Why are you here?

161
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,660
I've copied the new chapter of "The Crime Investigations of Lu."

162
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:29,859
I thought you must be in a rush to read it so I brought it to you.

163
00:10:29,859 --> 00:10:32,540
When we enter the temple, you go and pray with Aunt first.

164
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:34,593
I'll wait for you at the Sutra Chamber.

165
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:03,019
Master, I searched the storage room.

166
00:11:03,019 --> 00:11:06,259
I finally found the key before your marriage.

167
00:11:06,259 --> 00:11:09,259
You finally can take off that annoying eyesore.

168
00:11:09,259 --> 00:11:11,420
I'll ask someone to send the key to Qiu Manor after that.

169
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:13,360
So Miss Qiu Yan can take it off, too.

170
00:11:15,059 --> 00:11:17,640
<i>You'll go to my home to propose marriage in a few days.</i>

171
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,839
<i>Won't it cause trouble to leave this on?</i>

172
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,219
They're praying at Taiying Temple today.

173
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:29,840
I'll take it to her.

174
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,119
My lord, your true intention is not to send the key,

175
00:11:33,119 --> 00:11:36,060
but to see Miss Qiu Min, right?

176
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:48,571
<i>[Profound Truth of Heaven]</i>

177
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,599
Amitabha.

178
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:12,880
This is Master Zhen Yan from Taiying Temple.

179
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,760
I got your amulets ever since childhood from him.

180
00:12:23,359 --> 00:12:25,499
I made your daughters' amulets many years,

181
00:12:25,499 --> 00:12:28,640
but this is the first time I meet them.

182
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,540
As the Qiu family's wedding is soon,

183
00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:33,640
I think it must be the good karma you've accumulated for years

184
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320
as you sincerely learn Buddhism.

185
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:42,059
Your daughter will be safe and happy after getting married.

186
00:12:42,059 --> 00:12:44,660
Thank you for your kind words, Master.

187
00:12:47,220 --> 00:12:51,859
My lord, that street vendor looks very suspicious.

188
00:12:51,859 --> 00:12:53,200
He's from Main Administrative Office.

189
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,399
He follows us since early on.

190
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:58,499
A street vendor carries daily goods in early morning.

191
00:12:58,499 --> 00:13:01,320
But he can still carry standing straight.

192
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,359
That Yuan Lang isn't willing to let us go for even a moment.

193
00:13:04,359 --> 00:13:06,200
I'll go and size up the situation.

194
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Now I must act like I'm preoccupied with the marriage

195
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,300
and pray and worship Buddha at the temple.

196
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:13,519
How could there not be an audience?

197
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,279
But it's okay for you to see how many people there are.

198
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:18,100
Yes.

199
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,679
My lord, so you think I'm an eyesore now?

200
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,398
<i>[Sutra Chamber]</i>

201
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,100

00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,279
Cousin Qin.

204
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,939
Are you here to read the scriptures?

205
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,119
I've been plunged into a gloomy mood lately.

206
00:14:16,119 --> 00:14:20,380
Maybe reading scriptures could help relieve it a bit.

207
00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:24,200
Your wedding is around the corner; why would you feel gloomy?

208
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:30,059
There's something within reach but I can't get,

209
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,760
nor do I have power to fight for it.

210
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,399
I can't learn to let it go either.

211
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,780
Why are you here?

212
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,719
You can come here, but I can't?

213
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,520
I didn't expect you'd be so obsessed with Min'er.

214
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,400
You used to always plan for it.

215
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,220
Now you're justifiably engaged to her,

216
00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:56,880
yet you can't change secretly pestering her.

217
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,200
You spout off even in this holy place.

218
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Can't I be here to pray and worship Buddha?

219
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,499
I...

220
00:15:07,499 --> 00:15:09,781
I have something to tell you.

221
00:15:09,781 --> 00:15:11,381
Follow me.

222
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,540
Why must you say it up here?

223
00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:28,200
I brought you here to enjoy the view.

224
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,900
My mother said

225
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,119
an extraordinary spectacle is here after rain in early summer.

226
00:15:33,119 --> 00:15:34,320
It's nothing special.

227
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,039
I have something to give you.

228
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:39,980
Look!

229
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:42,200
I didn't lie to you.

230
00:16:16,019 --> 00:16:19,919
By the way, don't you have something to tell me?

231
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:21,519
What is it?

232
00:16:24,819 --> 00:16:31,259
Every time we meet, we bicker and never spare each other.

233
00:16:31,259 --> 00:16:33,900
But for He Family matters and the fake notes,

234
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,300
I should thank you

235
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:38,740
for all your help.

236
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:40,840
I thought it was some serious matter.

237
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,699
These mean nothing to you, but you saved me from my predicament.

238
00:16:44,699 --> 00:16:48,320
You could care less about it, but I must say thank you.

239
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,900
It scares me even more as you solemnly thank me.

240
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:55,240
I thought you would pull a prank on me.

241
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,299
Then I'm afraid you'll be frightened later.

242
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:04,240
There's one more thing I must thank you for.

243
00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:08,019
Six years ago,

244
00:17:08,019 --> 00:17:11,119
you saved a girl from a group of bandits

245
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,180
on the capital city outskirts.

246
00:17:13,180 --> 00:17:15,660
You didn't leave your name back then.

247
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:18,599
You only left a folding fan.

248
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,560
She can read the name of the fan's owner now.

249
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,178
And she wants to say

250
00:17:32,178 --> 00:17:33,391
thank you.

Do you know Liang Yi also came here today?

320
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,820
He must have come here to see you.

321
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:46,079
I understand he's not the one you love.

322
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:51,820
But since you chose this path, don't challenge his bottom line.

323
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:55,420
I didn't interrupt you two since I wanted to give you a chance

324
00:21:55,420 --> 00:21:58,420
to finish what you wished to say.

325
00:22:01,479 --> 00:22:03,780
After marrying into Liang Manor,

326
00:22:03,780 --> 00:22:07,099
stop hesitating with lingering feelings.

327
00:22:07,099 --> 00:22:09,219
Otherwise, Qiu Family can't protect you.

328
00:22:09,219 --> 00:22:11,719
They won't protect you either.

329
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:22,479
Don't worry, Elder Sister.

330
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:27,920
My lingering dream is over today.

331
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,800
Cousin Qin looks particularly happy.

332
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,880
I don't know what methods you've used.

333
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,324
But since you can make him happy now,

334
00:22:38,325 --> 00:22:42,320
I hope you make him happy the rest of his life.

335
00:22:54,979 --> 00:22:58,129
I'll think of you

336
00:22:58,129 --> 00:23:00,680
every time I see this jade pendant.

337
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,400
<i>[Xuan and Yan will be together, Xuan]</i>

338
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,200
<i>[Qin Xuan]</i>

339
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,881
<i>When I started reading, I vowed</i>

340
00:23:20,881 --> 00:23:23,500
<i>to read whatever men read.</i>

341
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:24,790
<i>Oh?</i>

342
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:28,900
<i>Because when I was young, I promised someone.</i>

343
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,000
<i>A childhood friend?</i>

344
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,260
<i>My benefactor,</i>

345
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:34,160
<i>like you.</i>

346
00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:38,339
<i>Where have we met before?</i>

347
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:40,019
<i>My lord, never.</i>

348
00:23:40,959 --> 00:23:43,999
<i>Before entering court for Noble Consort's birthday,</i>

349
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,760
<i>we had never met.</i>

350
00:23:57,139 --> 00:23:58,719
Master, I've investigated it.

351
00:23:58,719 --> 00:24:00,759
The street vendor is all alone.

352
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,759
Master, why do you look so depressed?

353
00:24:06,239 --> 00:24:08,739
It turns out I'm the blockhead.

354
00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:12,420
She appeared right before me, but I didn't recognize her.

355
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,080
Then I'll leave first.

356
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Let's go.

357
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,740
Let's go, Min'er.

358
00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:11,800
She seems to be on your mind.

359
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,160
You've fallen for her.

360
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,088
<i>[I've prepared a wedding dinner. I'll wait for your arrival, General He.]</i>

361
00:25:44,151 --> 00:25:49,480
♫ <i>The roof's eave blocks the moon, letting through only a shimmer</i> ♫

362
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,200
♫ <i>Your sweet smile warms my heart</i> ♫

363
00:25:58,054 --> 00:26:03,471
♫ <i>As if the night haze were a silk garment</i> ♫

364
00:26:03,471 --> 00:26:10,578
♫ <i>Only your appearance can bring color to the silk</i> ♫

365
00:26:11,539 --> 00:26:17,515
♫ <i>Looking in your direction</i> ♫

366
00:26:17,515 --> 00:26:23,871
♫ <i>All the images flood my mind</i> ♫

367
00:26:23,871 --> 00:26:31,695
♫ <i>As I trace your eyebrows</i> ♫

368
00:26:31,695 --> 00:26:38,640
♫ <i>I am willing to wait a lifetime for you</i> ♫

369
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,867
♫ <i>I remember your promise</i> ♫

370
00:26:45,867 --> 00:26:54,100
♫ <i>I am willing to wait a lifetime for you</i> ♫

371
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:03,739
Master!

372
00:27:03,739 --> 00:27:05,079
Madam sent this over.

373
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:06,420
She asked you to quickly try it on.

374
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:08,760
So she can fix what doesn't fit.

375
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:14,239
Go and tell Mother it fits me well.

376
00:27:15,619 --> 00:27:18,280
Master, your wedding is around the corner.

377
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,199
Why do I get the feeling you're unhappy?

378
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,177
Why do I feel you don't have enough work to do?

379
00:27:25,199 --> 00:27:26,701
You've been guessing all day long.

380
00:27:26,701 --> 00:27:28,301
Just go.

381
00:27:39,139 --> 00:27:41,440
<i>Carefully hold onto the ladder. Be careful!</i>

382
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,979
Be careful, slow down.

383
00:27:42,979 --> 00:27:44,700
Okay.

384
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:47,800
Madam.

385
00:27:48,959 --> 00:27:50,939
What are these?

386
00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:54,259
- Put them in Third Miss' room.
- <i>Yes.</i>

387
00:27:54,259 --> 00:27:55,859
Be careful.

388
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,959
Madam! Madam!

389
00:28:09,959 --> 00:28:11,760
- Madam! Someone come and help!
- Someone, help!

390
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,560
- Madam!
- Madam!

391
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,059
- Madam, what's wrong with you?
- Madam! Madam! Madam!

392
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,920
Is Physician Li here?

393
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,560
I sent someone to the staging post to pick him up with our fastest horse.

394
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,471
He'll be here today.

395
00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:49,859
Miss, you haven't slept for several days.

396
00:29:49,859 --> 00:29:52,300
- Let me serve her.
- There's no need.

397
00:29:59,619 --> 00:30:01,419
What's wrong?

398
00:30:02,859 --> 00:30:04,559
Speak up.

399
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,839
Mother just took the medicine and slept.

400
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,520
First Madam and Third Madam are here to visit her.

401
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,899
So Mother had to get changed to chat with them.

402
00:30:13,899 --> 00:30:16,760
Consulting the physician and attending to relatives,

403
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880
I see her coughing seriously,

404
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280
yet she must change four or five times a day.

405
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,920
Why didn't you kick them out?

406
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,820
What's the point in crying?

407
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:27,580
They... they meant well by visiting her.

408
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:30,139
I... I'm also the younger generation.

409
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:33,880
You're still young.

410
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,800
If anything happens to you, what's the point of living

411
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800
a life like this?

412
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,839
Third Master got this ginseng in Liao Dong a few years ago.

413
00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:45,520
It's the best for making tonic soup.

414
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,879
Fourth Brother asked me for this many times, but I didn't give it to him.

415
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,112
I appreciate your concern.

416
00:30:54,959 --> 00:30:56,899
The physician said why there was blood in her phlegm

417
00:30:56,899 --> 00:30:58,479
was heat interior stagnation.

418
00:30:58,479 --> 00:31:01,160
Ginseng is too nutritious; wouldn't this worsen her situation?

419
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Third Aunt, take it back.

420
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,439
Yan'er, your third aunt means well.

421
00:31:06,439 --> 00:31:09,040
Yes, we know nothing of pharmacology.

422
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,560
No matter what, it's a good item.

423
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,199
The physician said Mother needs rest.

424
00:31:12,199 --> 00:31:14,079
If First and Third Aunt were really concerned for Mother,

425
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:15,599
you shouldn't come and disturb her.

426
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:17,299
Yan'er!

427
00:31:21,599 --> 00:31:24,539
She's just worried about you.

428
00:31:24,539 --> 00:31:27,239
Then we'll head back first.

429
00:31:27,239 --> 00:31:28,640
Just get some rest.

430
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,340
Okay.

431
00:31:51,460 --> 00:31:53,060
Yan'er,

432
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,680
do you know what you did wrong?

433
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,400
How are they doing it for your good?

434
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,119
They did it for themselves

435
00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:01,839
so they could have Second Branch's favor in future.

436
00:32:12,239 --> 00:32:14,699
Some relationships

437
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:17,260
we must maintain.

438
00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:21,940
If you can't even be a bit soft to your family,

439
00:32:22,479 --> 00:32:25,000
how are you supposed to live

440
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,959
after getting married?

441
00:32:26,959 --> 00:32:28,680
I'll live my life as it will be.

442
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,400
I'll be nice to those who treat me well.

443
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,439
If someone bullies me, I'll return the favor.

444
00:32:33,439 --> 00:32:35,239
Let's see who is tougher.

445
00:32:35,239 --> 00:32:37,359
Those who gossip behind my back,

446
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,060
I'll just pretend it didn't happen

447
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:40,960
if they don't do it to my face.

448
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:46,139
You're smart and clever.

449
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,479
You're not afraid and you don't pick fights.

450
00:32:50,479 --> 00:32:52,460
That's very good.

451
00:32:53,199 --> 00:32:55,500
But do you know

452
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,739
things that are overly tough can break easily?

453
00:33:00,739 --> 00:33:03,160
You don't know how to act weak,

454
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,440
but only how to act tough.

455
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,980
It'll seem you've won, but you'll also hit your head and bleed (hurt yourself).

456
00:33:12,980 --> 00:33:15,839
Mother, are you ashamed of me?

457
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,239
Look at Min'er.

458
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,260
Although

459
00:33:22,260 --> 00:33:24,599
she's too weak,

460
00:33:25,439 --> 00:33:28,839
sometimes the weak can overcome the strong.

461
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:34,660
I originally thought

462
00:33:35,859 --> 00:33:38,920
I could wait until you all get married.

463
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840
But the heavens can't go against time.

464
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,239
Your future

465
00:33:49,339 --> 00:33:51,780
will depend on yourself.

466
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:53,800
I worry about you.

467
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,119
Mother, it's normal for humans to get sick.

468
00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:58,839
You have a headache and fever once in a while.

469
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,840
How can you recover if you keep thinking this way?

470
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,260
It's my body.

471
00:34:05,439 --> 00:34:07,560
I know it well.

472
00:34:09,479 --> 00:34:11,800
There are some words

473
00:34:12,479 --> 00:34:14,479
that if I don't say now,

474
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:17,460
I won't get the chance.

475
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,539
My whole life,

476
00:34:21,539 --> 00:34:23,600
I'm someone's wife

477
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,719
and mother.

478
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,460
I initially didn't have any regrets.

479
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,239
I just can't feel at ease for you and Min'er.

480
00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:45,640
The medicine gets cold. I'll go and heat it.

481
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,099
<i>Yan'er,</i>

482
00:34:59,220 --> 00:35:01,900
<i>I know you're listening.</i>

483
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,800
<i>Your dad is an educated man.</i>

484
00:35:07,660 --> 00:35:10,480
<i>No matter the family affairs,</i>

485
00:35:11,139 --> 00:35:13,900
Min'er is too weak.

486
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:18,040
Now, the Second Branch

487
00:35:18,940 --> 00:35:21,299
will be left in your care.

488
00:35:21,299 --> 00:35:23,020
I can't promise you.

489
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:25,359
I can't bear to take care of this family, either.

490
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:20,900
<i>Physician Li, hurry!</i>

491
00:37:22,399 --> 00:37:24,760
Physician Li, I beg you to please save Mother.

492
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,439
Miss, don't panic. I'll try all I can.

493
00:37:27,439 --> 00:37:29,439
Min'er.

494
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,180
Physician Li, what exactly is her condition?

495
00:37:57,180 --> 00:37:58,660
Your wife suffers from infectious disease.

496
00:37:58,660 --> 00:38:00,700
All leave this room right now!

497
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:03,860
From now, no one is allowed to enter without my permission, understand?

498
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:05,761
- Get out. Hurry!
- Okay.

499
00:38:05,761 --> 00:38:07,906
Hurry, hurry! Quickly get out! Go!

500
00:38:07,906 --> 00:38:09,339
- Hurry!
- My lord, hurry.

501
00:38:09,339 --> 00:38:11,039
Misses, please.

502
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,885
Quickly get out!

503
00:38:14,380 --> 00:38:16,080
Close the door.

504
00:38:30,299 --> 00:38:33,539
Mother hasn't gone out since she came back from Mount Taiying.

505
00:38:33,539 --> 00:38:36,059
How could she get an infectious disease?

506
00:38:37,860 --> 00:38:41,080
Father, I think you should send someone to Mount Taiying.

507
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,600
If someone is ill there,

508
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,239
you must quickly notify the imperial court

509
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,180
to prevent spread of disease.

510
00:38:46,180 --> 00:38:49,280
We can't protect ourselves, yet you mind other's business.

511
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,499
In my opinion, once this infectious disease spreads,

512
00:38:51,499 --> 00:38:53,860
we'll be first to meet our doom.

513
00:38:53,860 --> 00:38:55,840
What nonsense are you saying?

514
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,900
My lord, this child is insensible and ineloquent.

515
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:04,879
But it does make sense.

516
00:39:04,879 --> 00:39:06,779
The infectious disease seems ferocious.

517
00:39:06,779 --> 00:39:09,840
Why don't I take Rong'er and the girls

518
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,340
to stay in the courtyard a few days?

519
00:39:13,959 --> 00:39:15,080
That's all we can do now.

520
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,880
I don't want to go.

521
00:39:17,879 --> 00:39:20,059
Physician Li said we're not allowed to go in.

522
00:39:20,059 --> 00:39:21,700
What's the point of staying here?

523
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:24,019
Is there no other work to help her?

524
00:39:24,019 --> 00:39:25,700
Decoct medicine, prepare food,

525
00:39:25,700 --> 00:39:28,499
I won't be at ease if it's left to others to do it.

526
00:39:28,499 --> 00:39:30,280
You're afraid Rong'er will get infected.

527
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,180
You don't have to take me.

528
00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:33,499
I must say.

529
00:39:33,499 --> 00:39:34,579
I'm your biological mother.

530
00:39:34,579 --> 00:39:35,719
I'm doing it for your own good.

531
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,180
My mother is sick. I won't go anywhere.

532
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:39,580
You...

533
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,260
Sister.

534
00:39:44,879 --> 00:39:47,539
Madam, why don't you take Rong'er first?

535
00:39:47,539 --> 00:39:50,279
Sister and I will stay here a few more days.

536
00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:54,339
Little Min, I must say that your sister

537
00:39:54,339 --> 00:39:56,700
is stubborn. I'll just leave her be.

538
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:58,360
But your body is weak.

539
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,583
If anything happens to you, how do I explain to Old Madam?

540
00:40:02,583 --> 00:40:06,499
Mother! Since my sisters aren't willing to leave, just let them be.

541
00:40:06,499 --> 00:40:08,511
Anyway, I'm leaving.

542
00:40:12,859 --> 00:40:17,420
Master, this is medicine the Duke of Ying Manor's Young Master Qin sent.

543
00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:27,279
Sister.

544
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,360
<i>[Qiu Manor]</i>

545
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,320
Miss, eat something and take a break.

546
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,399
Just let me do it.

547
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,180
Where is Min'er?

548
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,700
Keep an eye on it.

549
00:40:57,700 --> 00:40:59,400
Yes.

550
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,420
(Prayer for Mother's health)

551
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:11,280
Mother waits for us to take care of her.

552
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,498
Yet you hid here for peace and quiet.

553
00:41:13,498 --> 00:41:15,520
I'm copying scriptures to pray for Mother.

554
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,900
As long as I'm sincere, I'm sure they'll keep Mother safe.

555
00:41:19,900 --> 00:41:23,439
If these were useful, how would there any seriously ill?

556
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:25,159
Only medicine and food can cure the disease,

557
00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:27,720
not some strange power or deity!

558
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,800
We seek physicians and medicine in the whole capital city.

559
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,180
The medicine she takes is more than food she eats.

560
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:36,199
Yet her condition grows more serious.

561
00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:39,080
Physician Li said Mother can't even drink water now.

562
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,619
Didn't you say Physician Li is a miracle doctor?

563
00:41:41,619 --> 00:41:45,860
If even he can't heal Mother, what else can I do?

564
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,360
I have faith in ancestral gods.

565
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,060
As long as I'm sincere, they won't lie to me.

566
00:42:14,180 --> 00:42:15,600
<i>Dear Ancestors,</i>

567
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,840
<i>if you can really keep Mother safe,</i>

568
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,360
<i>I, Qiu Yan, am willing to stay unmarried forever</i>

569
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,979
<i>to serve you ancestors.</i>

570
00:42:32,859 --> 00:42:34,900
Is Physician Li not around?

571
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:37,700
He freshened up to meet Master.

572
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,140
Is my mother doing well? Hey!

573
00:42:48,919 --> 00:42:52,460
This infectious disease is no joke.

574
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:54,000
No one is allowed

575
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,719
to enter Second Branch's yard before Madam Han's belongings are cleaned.

576
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,499
Also, the incense fragrance,

577
00:43:01,499 --> 00:43:04,900
every branch's mistress should pay more attention to it.

578
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:07,479
As a precaution, Old Three, Old Four,

579
00:43:07,479 --> 00:43:09,959
go prepare the things for a funeral.

580
00:43:09,959 --> 00:43:12,180
Just keep everything simple.

581
00:43:13,180 --> 00:43:15,080
Wait.

582
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,080
My mother is still alive.

583
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,080
Instead of finding ways to treat her, Old Madam

584
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,919
prepares for a funeral.

585
00:43:20,919 --> 00:43:23,239
Little Yan, you're young and don't understand.

586
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,879
Discussing a patient's funeral is to counteract her bad luck.

587
00:43:25,879 --> 00:43:29,639
First Aunt, don't shut me up with fancy words. I heard it all.

588
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:31,420
How is this a discussion?

589
00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:33,220
You're giving up on her!

590
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:35,959
Yan'er, the adults are discussing.

591
00:43:35,959 --> 00:43:37,280
What are you doing here? Just go back.

592
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,052
I don't want to.

593
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,620
Second Brother, why don't you try my method?

594
00:43:44,620 --> 00:43:47,059
Fourth Brother, stop messing around.

595
00:43:47,059 --> 00:43:48,080
Li, Li.

596
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,979
Even Physician Li has no other way.

597
00:43:49,979 --> 00:43:53,040
How could we count on a charlatan's remedy?

598
