Song title: Silk Web - by Li Yu Chun

♫ You are the silk of a web, yet you willingly carry heavy beams. ♫

♫ Intertwined with one another, from daybreak until twilight. ♫

♫ Sometimes meeting and parting, life and death, wither with honor. ♫

♫ Exchange and give love. Let the heart return to its resting place. ♫

♫ Your path follows behind his loneliness. ♫

♫ Meander upwards and there happiness will be. ♫

♫ Worry not over who leans on whom. ♫

♫ Once it begins, it will not end. ♫

♫ The song in the clouds accompanies him on the journey. ♫

♫ Declare all of your love. ♫

♫ You are willing to experience all of the bitterness, ♫

♫ Live the rest of your life with him to the ends of the world. ♫

Yun Zhong Ge (Love YunGe from the Desert)

Episode 8

Hurry up!

Master Liu, you have waited a long time.

The lady was being slow at putting on makeup.

I'll go get some food for you.

Indeed she dares to be arrogant.

She is indeed somewhat educated.

Come. Come to me.

What?

Am I supposed to go to you?

Miss,

you are indeed, among all the girls today,

the most special.

Since you like her...

Go. Pour some wine for Brother Meng.

Come, My Lord.

What? Is this the first time you are serving someone?

You can't even pour wine.

Brother Meng,

are you satisfied with this girl?

Thank you, My Lord.

You cannot leave!

The guards came to report just now,

that this woman doesn't belong here!

I won't keep it from you, My Lord.

She is my woman.

Then I do not understand.

Since she is your woman,

why is she here pretending to be someone else?

In Chang'an City,

She is the elegant chef at Mr Chu's restaurant

We matched very well together.

I put my work with you first,

so I left without saying goodbye a few days ago.

I think her heart was trapped by love,

so that's why she ran here.

I know you're not happy that I'm here.

But the matters between us,

we can wait until we're behind closed doors to discuss!

I can only blame that Rock Meng always bullies me.

This time, I didn't see him for many days again.

I was so jealous when I saw him come here so...

Brother Meng, the king of jade.

He lets you call him Rock?

Looks like you're being serious this time.

My Lord,

this sort of puppy love

isn't worth ruining your task at hand.

Please do not worry.

I am completely loyal to you.

Since she is my woman, I can use my life to guarantee

that she will not create any messes.

If you want to accomplish big things you can't let love get in your way

That I came to Chang'an this time...

-this news cannot be leaked out.-My Lord!

If you will not let her go today,

then please kill me first.

-Stand down.-Yes.

Brother Meng,

Why do you always forget the important things for women?

I've only seen three.

What other loves do you have out there?

Yun Ge, listen to me!

Careful!

Let go of me!

I was wrong to leave without saying goodbye.

But I sent a letter to you later and you ignored me!

I was afraid that you were still angry,

so I didn't dare to look for you when I returned to Chang'an.

You sent me a letter?

Miss Yun, Mr. Meng sends letters over here all the time.

It's just that after you left, you didn't leave behind any news.

It was difficult to find you.

Left quickly feels like it's been so long.

Writing to each other to enquire, disappear without any traces.

Thinking about your food, makes me all messed up.

The twinkling stars are just like my heart.

Enough, don't you feel ashamed?

I'm not the one who wrote it. There's this one too.

You wear a collar blue; at ease I cannot be.

Though I come not to you; why don't you ask for me?

Close the book, play the zither; Thinking about you, so out of the tune.

Hovering in the midnight, unconsciously the day is bright.

Slender green dress, appear in my dream with lightness.

Walking through sea of flowers, the mountain is suddenly far away.

Wake up, repeating your name, again and again...

After reading so many letters, you still haven't told me why you left without saying goodbye.

And how did you become the "Bro" of the king of Fan?

What business were you two discussing?

Is my question very funny?

No.

I just feel happy.

Because you are starting to care about my matters.

Perhaps it is to say that I have a place in your heart.

That's because I owe you too much!

You lent money to me and helped me so much.

Logically I should look out for a friend too. Also in this city.

I'm afraid you will do something wrong.

I am a businessman, I travel everywhere.

But I believe that I have a fortuitous life.

But with you caring about me,

I will be careful in everything from now on.

You always run around rashly.

This is for you.

I don't want you to face any danger.

I'm already so clever

Every time something big happens I get super lucky.

Why would I need that?

You won't accept it?

Is it because of Liu Bing?

You...

I know you've done a lot of things.

Actually Brother Ling and I...

No, it's Brother Bing Yi.

When we were very little in the plains,

We endured the hardship together

and looked at stars together like this too.

And then...he had to return to Chang'an.

He gave me his mother's hairpin as a memento.

I gave him a pair of pearl shoes.

He wanted me to not forget our promise.

Now I've come to Chang'an to find him.

But he's already forgotten me.

It's like this,

but I shouldn't accept your things either.

Why do you not go ask him yourself?

He can't even recognize me anymore. How am I to ask?

Perhaps, it's because he has Sister Xu.

It's just...

He's not quite like how I imagined him to be.

How is he like in your thoughts?

I feel like he should recognize me.

He should...

I don't know how to say it either.

Since you cannot forget him,

Ping Jun is engaged too.

Why won't you make use of this chance?

I can't!

Sister Xu is kind and loyal to me. I cannot make her sad.

That's right. Can you help me with something?

Say it.

You've seen a lot of things before.

You must have a way to help Sister Xu avoid her marriage.

Why are you so foolish?

Why must you go put others together and make things hard on yourself?

I hope that Brother Ling and Sister Xu can be happy.

Okay. But you must promise me too.

After this, you have to go to a place with me.

What right do I have to marry Pingjung?

What a joke!

Brother Liu.

Why have you drunk so much wine?

Sister Xu's heart only has you.

She will definitely find a way to not marry someone else.

Sorry.

Forgive me.

During these years,

I know you've treated me very well.

I was bad.

I shouldn't have forsaken you or made you brokenhearted.

I'm sorry.

Brother Ling.

You've finally remembered me?

Yes.

I still remember when you were little,

your face was bright pink.

You were smart and cute.

During these years,

I've always remembered you were good to me.

But I didn't want you to pass terrible days with me.

I came so far to find you.

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm just afraid that you won't remember me.

I can't.

Pingjun, I cannot drag you down.

I can't...I shouldn't drag you down.

I cannot forsake you.

Brother Ling.

In the end, you still cannot remember me.

Old man, have you seen this?

That stinky brat!

You stinky brat!

The Auho family sent over so many marriage gifts

to be your dowry. But you won't even look at them!

Good daughter, just listen to your mother.

What are you rubbing them for?

You might be willing to forever pass these sort of days, but I'm not!

Sister Xu!

Miss Yun, you've come just in time.

Help me persuade this brat.

A woman's fortune is to marry a dependable man

and to give face to the mother family so others can look upon us favorably.

But our Pingjun doesn't understand this!

Let's go, back into the house.

Let them talk.

Let's go.

I'm telling you! If you keep going on like this,

the one who loses in the end is you!

I'm so angry!

Let's go!

What should I do?

In my whole life, I only want to marry Bing Yi.

To force me to leave him,

I would rather go die!

I entirely understand your feelings.

I believe that Brother Bing Yi knows too.

Please do not do anything foolish.

Perhaps the situation can be changed.

Really?

This it bad, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!

This early morning, the groom drowned in the lake!

Everyone is saying now...

They say that the bride is an unlucky star!

I have no more hope!

What should we do?

Miss Yun, please wait a moment.

Sir has gone out for work, he'll return soon.

Sister Hongyi, your hands are amazing!

I cannot do anything that has to do with sewing.

But you can cook well!

What do you want to make?

I can make it for you.

I have seen this knot at the market before.

It was so pretty!

This is a knot of united hearts.

Knot of united hearts?

I can teach you how to make it.

You have someone you like?

-Meng Jue?-Rock Meng?

No no no! I don't like anyone!

What a shame. It wasn't me.

Meng Jue?

Young men have always liked to play around.

They are best at tricking love from a young lady like you.

Especially like you, such beautiful and outstanding;

and delicate and exquisite of a lady.

Looks like some people really know themselves well.

No, don't say that.

What is going on?

It's getting late. Hongyi, let's go.

Sit.

Did you come to thank me,

Or are you here to keep your provide.

Sister Xu's fiance suddenly died.

Is it your doing?

Brother Meng, I don't want to marry anyone else.

I only want to marry Bingyi!

Even if life is any harder, I can accept it!

If you really become Liu Bingyi's wife,

you might have to suffer even more pain.

Have you really thought things through?

I'm not afraid!

Did you do it?

If I say no, will you believe me?

This situation was too coincidental.

Besides you, I don't know who else it could be!

Am I that sort of person in your heart?

I don't count as a good person.

But I won't kill innocents either!

This was just an accident.

It's just that the heavens helped Xu Pingjun and Liu Bing Yi.

I didn't do anything.

This has to do with a human life!

How can you say things so easily?

Since you didn't do it,

then our agreement can be erased.

Now you are going to destroy the bridge after crossing the river, aren't you? (idiom)

Okay. Since you're in such a panic,

I will tell Hsu Bing zhun about the pearl shoes.

You dare?

In your heart, what would I not dare to do?

You're despicable!

I never thought that I'm a righteous man.

Were you waiting for me?

I know you are angry at Meng Jue.

Meng Jue is really pitiful.

You must be understanding of him.

What is he like to you?

Ambitious.

How long have you known Meng Jue?

Why do you know so much about him?

I've been with Liu He for over ten years.

I've known Meng Jue since childhood.

All that he has accomplished today,

was all done by his own two hands.

To protect his position, he'll do anything.

But he doesn't lie.

So you are saying... Mengjue is someone that will not lie?

Sister Xu's fiance suddenly died.

Is this the heaven's will or...

If Sister Xu was willing to marry into the Auho family,

then would someone not have died?

No. Then Sister Xu wouldn't be able to live on.

Even if Meng Jue did something despicable,

but I went to ask him myself.

This way...aren't I wrong too?

I remember you were bullied when you were little,

and your entire vegetable patch was broken up.

If it was another girl, she would have broken down in tears long ago.

You were good.

You chased after them crying and beating them.

In the end, you made that bully run away.

Are you saying that I'm spicy? (not girly)

Why would I? Only if you are little spicier are you tasty.

What are you saying? We're not cooking.

To be able to see them laugh and talk now,

Isn't that what I wished for?

What am I being sad for?

Ah Fu! I've come to see you!

-Ah Fu?-Ah Fu, Ah Fu!

What's wrong with your face?

Is there some problem with my herbal medicine?

Bai He, you're back?

So you were being mischievous!

Granny said she wanted to make noodles.

Ah Fu threw flour all over us!

You should leave noodles to me!

Big Sister, when will it be done?

I haven't had noodles in a long time.

My mouth has grown tired.

Very soon, it'll be done soon.

Big Sister, you are so amazing! No wonder Big Brother comes so often to wait for you!

I hope to be able to see Big Sister every day too!

When did I do that?

Look, Big Brother's face is red!

Hurry and eat!

Okay, thank you.

You should be okay now.

Did the red marks on your face come back at all?

Thank you for your care, miss.

Why do you always seem like you have a heavy heart?

It's good to smile more.

You look so nice smiling!

It looks even better than the stars in the sky!

Are you really Ah Fu's biological older sister?

What? You feel like we don't look alike?

No.

I just feel like you make me think of someone.

Meeting someone is of course predetermined by fate.What's the point of getting to the bottom of it.

It's like your heart for Ah Fu. If you have a real heart for him, then it's real.

I haven't asked what your name is either.

Yes. I still haven't introduced myself, I have embarrassed myself.

My surname is Liu. My name...

Chang Feng, meaning "zepher and clouds".

Liu Chang Feng...

That you feel like I am familiar,

it's possible that I am similar to an old friend of yours.

Yes.

Actually, I don't know what she looks like now either.

Since you cannot forget her,

you should be a person who values the past.

I made a promise with her when we were children.

A man should keep his word.

But not everyone will value their promises.

In my whole life,

I will be with Pingjun until our hair turns white.

Promises made in childhood,

sometimes people will forget you long ago.

In the end, it is only your own one sided wish.

Do you really think so?

Affections only leads to heartache. Time can change everything.

If the one you like already has another,

you can only bless them, right?

What you say makes sense.

If wishing good fortune can fool a person. They can't be together.

I can only continue to keep on waiting.

But express the biggest blessing.

Perhaps you will be luckier than I,

and meet a person who only has you in her heart.

Big Sister, I couldn't catch a butterfly.

Can you help me make a butterfly

for me to hold and fly?

Where in this world does that sort of thing exist?

I can make you a kite.

I'll make one that is big and can fly high, okay?

Okay, then let's hurry and go make it!

-Let's go, big brother!-Okay!

I still have something to do so I must go.

I'll make the kite and come play with you again, okay?

Okay!

Then I'll teach you how to fly a kite next time.

Your Majesty, please punish me.

I know that you only wanted me

to wait outside the door. But I really was curious,

just what kind of girl was it that would make you

look at her with that sort of gaze?

Yes, why do I care so much about this Miss Bai He?

My heart already has Yun Ge. How could I...?

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Have someone make a kite. It must be done well and beautiful.

Yes, I will go make it right now.

Lady Empress.

Brother Emperor, you really do keep your word!

I will thank you again.

Keep my word?

Didn't you promise to go fly a kite with me every third of the month?

It'll be the third in a few days.

So you had Chief Liu hurry and make a kite,

right?

Of course the kite is for you.

At that time, I will definitely play happily with you.

Thank you Brother Emperor.

Who are you taking me to see?

Who would live here?

Yun Ge.

Why would you suddenly change your mind and agree to come out with me?

What? You don't like it?

Then I'll leave.

Yun Ge.

The scenery over there is very beautiful.

I'll take you to go see it.

Let's go.

The wind has messed up your hair.

I'll fix it for you.

♫ Hear no more. Possess no more. I gradually feel your warmth in my hand. ♫

♫ Dare not look, dare not think. ♫

What is that?

This hairpin

Just take it as though your doing me a favour for your postponed debts you own me.

Today, can you wear it for now?

♫ Tears in the corner of my eyes are among the clouds. ♫

♫ Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

♫ Hear no more. Possess no more. ♫

♫ I gradually feel your warmth in my hand. ♫

♫ Dare not look, dare not think. ♫

♫ Memories have you have become hazy. ♫

♫ The green flowing skirt drifts in the wind. ♫

What is that over there?

♫ Yet when I extend my hand, nothing. ♫

♫ Tears in the corner of my eyes are among the clouds. ♫

♫ Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

Yun Ge!

Rock Meng!

Rock Meng, hurry and come save me!

It would be great if I had taken that dagger from him before!

Uncle! Uncle!

Little Miss, why are you running around in the wilderness alone?

You became my hunting prey too, look!

-You set this trap?-Yes.

Hurry and let me down!

Don't rush, don't rush.

Don't panic. Don't panic.

Xin Cheng?

Uncle, what's wrong?

Let me down!

Yun Ge!

-Stepfather! (in an adoptive sense)-Xiao Jue?

Stepfather?

This is my stepfather. People call him Uncle Feng.

I brought you to see him this time.

Hello Uncle Feng.

Little girl,

you really look like an old friend of mine.

Where do you come from?

Can you tell me who your parents are?

I grew up in the plains.

But...my parents ordered

that I cannot say their names.

Your parents live in the plains?

I think I heard my mother say

that when she was young she once came to the central plains and lived for a few years here.

But every time I ask her about it,

she wouldn't say anything.

Your mother...

Has your mother been well during these years?

My mother is doing very well.

It's just that every time she eats peanuts she gets a rash.

But she couldn't control herself.

Precisely, precisely.

The hairpin you are wearing suits you very well.

Pretty.

It's getting late and the mountain roads are hard to travel on.

Stay here one night with Yun Ge.

Get going tomorrow.

Okay, stepfather.

I will temporarily first put this and Falling Star Gang

in your hands.

If you do anything to make me disappointed in you,

I will take it back at any time.

I got it, stepfather.

Also,

you must do all you can to take good care of Yun Ge.

Don't make her sad.

Or else, I won't let go of you!

Don't worry, stepfather.

-Stepfather, we'll leave first.-Okay.

Why did your stepfather specially tell you to take care of me?

This was the first time I met him.

Perhaps he feels like you are similar to him and so likes you.

Why do I feel like you are not very close to your stepfather?

When I was little,

my family experienced a huge change.

Later I met stepfather.

He was very good to me.

He taught me many things, that's why I am the way I am today.

I am very grateful to him.

But I can only respect him.

I cannot treat him as my real father.

Is he not good enough to you?

Because I hate my father.

In this world, what child would hate their own father?

My father's decision

ruined our entire family.

I became an orphan with no parents.

Wind came like cotton flying,

Fire became ashes.

Every time I hated stepfather,

I will remember my cruel father.

All that hate...

made me unable to face him at ease.

Okay.

It'll be okay.

Let's go.

Ah Fu! Ah Fu, come look!

What is this?

Give it to me, give it to me!

I like the big butterfly you gave me more!

What this or that? Do you have another big butterfly?

Big brother had someone send over a big kite this morning.

It is very pretty.

But I don't like it.

I don't want to like Big Brother either.

If you leave, there is only me and Granny.

I don't really want a big beautiful kite.

I only want Big Brother and Big Sister

come be with me a lot.

Ah Fu.

Big brother must have been busy today and so cannot come.

How about this? I'll fly this kite with you.

-Let's see if it can really fly, okay?-Okay!

Let's go! Hurry!

Ah Fu, do you see that big butterfly?

-I see it!-Does it look good?

So he isn't a person who keeps his word either.

-Ah Fu, is it high up?-High!

Has the matter been dealt with?

Your Majesty, the kite has been delivered.

I also sent a message just like you said.

It's just...when Ah Fu knew you couldn't come over,

His heart was so broken he cried.

Since I cannot go again,

it's good if Ah Fu is fully disappointed in me.

You must remember.

Send people to deliver what they need on time.

Yes.

My heart can only have Yun Ge.

Since she isn't Yun Ge, let's finish everything here.

Yun Ge, it's time. Let's set out.

Okay, I'll be ready soon!

Come, I'll help you.

I haven't seen you wear this hairpin before.

It must be gold and silver casted. It's particularly exquisite.

Okay. Brother Meng must have given it to you.

You look especially pretty today. When Brother Meng sees you,

he'll definitely like it!

Big Sister, you're teasing me again!

Pingjun, I...

Bing Yi, why didn't you wear the new clothes I made you?

But today is Tang Tang Store opening day!

Big Brother Meng has a wide range of friends.

There will definitely be a lot of high ranking guests there.

We cannot lose propriety.

I came to tell you,

that I don't feel very well today.

I cannot go with you two. You two go alone.

-Big brother!-Let him go.

Lately, once I talk about Tang Tang Store's matter,

Bing Yi is always like this.

Perhaps when he sees Brother Meng improving so much,

he thinks about how he is now...

It's unavoidable that he's a bit disappointed.

Big Sister, perhaps Big Brother really is tired recently.

He has been busy with the family's livelihood and had to protect his friends.

Let him get some rest.

You only know to protect him.

Let's go!

-Congratulations, congratulations.-Thank you, thank you.

-Wow, such an elegance place!-I agree!

This place is so big and pretty!

Congratulations, congratulations.

-Please look around as you wish.-Okay.

Brother Meng's appearance is outstanding,one look and you'll able to locate him!

Why are you alone? Where is Liu He?

The eldest Sir doesn't like this sort of atmosphere.

I was curious so I came to see the festivities.

You are so pretty today.

You're saying I'm pretty?

-Congratulations.-Thank you.

Not bad.

Brother Yang, look at this.

-This isn't bad either.-Yes.

Daddy, come.

Sir Meng.

Daddy, this is the Meng Jue that I've told you about, Sir Meng.

Minister of War you have graced me with your presence. I have embarrassed myself.

Sir Meng, you are young and accomplished.

That day at the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant we only saw each other once.

At that time I just knew,

you were not an ordinary person.

I will have to ask you Minister of War to help me a lot in the future.

Excuse me for a moment.

-Look, he really is young and accomplished.-Yes.

-There are so many people here today!-Yes.

-Brother Meng has a lot of friends.-You are so beautiful today.

Especially when you are wearing this hairpin.

You scared me!

Sir Meng, this is...?

This is my adoptive little sister, Yun Ge.

Known as Mr. Zhu the Elegant Chef.
