Who's that?

Come out!

Troupe Master Yu.

How have you been?

Why are you here?

Don't worry.

We're not here to horn in on your business.

Who the hell are you?

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that

there're mechanisms in the wooden box behind you.

This is not the first time you've robbed

the Song family.

You don't want

them to find out this time as well, do you?

So Yu's troupe members

are the bandits?

You've been disguised as a troupe,

and came here

to spy on all sorts of information.

You even dare to steal goods from the Song family.

With such courage and strategies,

I bet

you're no ordinary bandit, Troupe Master Yu.

Troupe Master Yu.

This place belongs to the Song family.

If we make a scene here,

it'll be bad for all of us.

I don't care about if it's the Song family or the Tang family.

I planned to

do something big today

in the first place.

I didn't expect that

I'd meet you here, Shen.

Since we are destined to meet here,

how about

I, Yu Xiangjin, bend the knee and

invite you to join us?

When we get the money,

we'll split everything fifty-fifty.

Shen,

what do you think?

Watch out!

So this is what you want.

Bad news.

It seems some thieves broke into the backyard.

I've sent someone there to check.

What? This...

What happened?

What's with the arrangement of this banquet?

How could you let thieves get in?

Go get them!

You guys, follow me!

Oh no. What should I do?

Shen Nuo.

[Romance on the Farm]

[Episode 12]

Everyone,

raise your hands and stand up!

Dance!

Sing!

♫Great rivers flow east♫

♫Stars in the sky follow the Big Dipper♫

♫Follow the Big Dipper♫

♫We will follow you to the grave over a bowl of wine♫

♫You go, and we'll follow♫

Move!

Make way!

They're in the room.

Don't let them escape. Hurry.

Okay.

Get out of my way!

Bravo! Bravo!

Again! Again!

Catch as many as we can.

Catch that woman!

Yes!

Since you want it so much,

it must be something good.

Thanks.

Stop fighting.

Let's go.

♫Great rivers flow east♫

♫Stars in the sky follow the Big Dipper♫

♫Follow the Big Dipper♫

♫We will follow you to the grave over a bowl of wine♫

♫You go, and we'll follow♫

Let's go.

That person on the stage is with them.

You guys,

get that performer

off the stage.

Hurry up.

♫When you see injustice in the streets, let out a roar♫

Bravo!

It's Man'er.

We should focus on the bigger picture.

When other guards get here,

we won't be able to leave.

She's deliberately

buying time for us.

If we leave,

she'll be in danger.

You guys, go and block her.

Bravo! Again!

Fire!

Why are you still standing there?

Run for your life!

Or you'll get burned.

Hurry! You guys, go.

Let's go first.

The wound is quite deep.

Let's go to the clinic tomorrow.

Done.

Thank you for today, Miss Man'er.

If you hadn't covered for us

and attracted their attention,

we wouldn't have been able to

get away so easily.

You're welcome.

But

what were you looking for

in the Song family exactly?

You even got into a fight.

I was so nervous

when I was on the lookout outside.

I thought you don't know how to be afraid.

Why didn't you leave

when I asked you to today?

I was worried about you.

If it weren't for the banquet at the Song Mansion,

if there weren't so many people at the banquet,

and if Thirteen and I hadn't

passed by and saved you,

can you

sit here safe and sound now?

I told you again and again about how dangerous it was.

Why didn't you

listen to me?

Why did you insist on staying?

Shen Nuo!

I saved you, and you're blaming me?

What are you doing?

Lian Man'er, let me tell you.

Pride comes before a fall.

Since I was there, I could protect you.

But when I'm not around in the future,

-and if you're still like this... -When you're not around? Where can you go?

I just wanted to remind you that

before you make any decision in the future,

please think twice.

I think you're out of your mind.

You can't tell good from bad.

Ridiculous.

Miss Lian.

Miss Lian.

Why are you standing there and staring at me?

Nothing.

I just find it strange.

Young Master, I've been wondering

why you'd be willing

to stay in such a shabby room

for so long.

Are you still that Shen Nuo I used to know?

Young Master.

You like Miss Lian, don't you?

What are you talking about?

Then why

did you get so angry just now?

You wouldn't understand.

I don't, indeed.

Yu Xiangjin made such a big scene

at the Song Mansion today.

I think the troupe

won't stay in the city.

They took the registration book.

We have to find a way to get it back.

I'll go to the Carters' Inn tomorrow

and see if I can find anything.

Okay, I'll go with you.

No need.

Have a good rest.

Master Liu.

[Liu Fugui, vice president of Jinyang Chamber of Commerce]

This... Eldest...

Eldest Young Master.

Please spare his life, Master Wu.

It was supposed to be

the Elder's day

to worship Buddha today.

Therefore, Changsui

scheduled a banquet.

No one would have expected that

those performers

are bad people.

They...

They failed to steal money,

so they stole the registration book.

It's all because of Changsui.

It's because he didn't plan it carefully,

and he's incompetent.

I've tied him up and brought him here

to apologize to you.

[Wu Zhonglian, president of Jinyang Chamber of Commerce]

I'm reading the allusion of

"Having So Much Fun That One Forgets About Shu".

After Liu Shan was captured,

he was imprisoned

in the capital of Wei, Luoyang.

General Sima Zhao of the State of Wei

invited Liu Shan

to watch a dance performance of the State of Shu.

The officials from the State of Shu all cried after watching it.

Only Liu Shan was unaffected

and continued being merry.

Young Master Song.

What do you think about this?

Master Wu.

You're really knowledgeable and erudite.

Thank you for your enlightenment.

To be honest,

since the registration book was stolen,

I've been so worried

that I couldn't eat.

I've lost a lot of weight.

However,

when you told me the story of Liu Shan,

I had an epiphany.

You're absolutely right.

No matter

what circumstances we are under,

we should be optimistic and open-minded.

What a waste

of the name of Kun.

Please elaborate, Master Wu.

You're like Adou who couldn't get anything achieved even with great assistance.

Master Wu.

I know

the registration book that was stolen

will affect your cause significantly.

I deserve to die.

I... I...

It's okay.

You've worked for me for years.

I know how loyal you are.

Go back.

Thank you, Master Wu.

Young Master.

Young Master Song, hold on.

This...

You still don't understand?

Do it.

Eldest Young Master, please don't!

For the sake of

me working for you for more than 20 years!

Eldest Young Master!

Eldest...

Eldest...

Eldest Young...

[Shisanli Camp]

Mother.

Why did you make so many dishes

early in the morning?

It wasn't me.

Father?

Why aren't you eating?

You made these?

You swept the yard as well?

You also fed the pigs and cows?

You guys

are kind enough

to take Nuo and I in.

I thought I should do something

to repay you.

It's so nice of you.

You two are from the same hometown.

However, one is diligent and delightful,

while the other...

Forget it.

Miss Man'er.

In fact, Nuo didn't mean it

like that. He...

Put it down!

Auntie, it's cold in the morning.

From now on,

leave the chores like this to me.

No need, I can do it myself.

It's okay.

I'm good at doing laundries.

Trust me.

No need.

I can do it.

No.

Give it to me.

Mother, let's eat.

This...

Look at this kid.

Miss.

Our bodies, to every hair and every bit of skin, are given to us by our parents.

How can you give your life up so easily?

I'm not...

I know what you want to do.

Miss, you must be optimistic.

There's no difficulty we can't overcome

in this world.

Even if there is,

we may as well

stay near that difficulty for a while.

It's also an option, right?

I wasn't going to...

Of course you were.

Why can't you listen to reason?

You're jumping into the river on such a freezing day.

If you fail to die,

you'll only be half alive.

Even if you manage to die,

you'll be soaked out of shape

in the river.

It's terrifying.

You know that?

I wasn't trying to commit suicide.

My clothes fell into the river.

Don't make unreasonable excuses like that.

I didn't see any clothes...

I'm sorry, Miss.

I misunderstood.

Wait for me here.

Miss.

Your clothes.

Thank you, Young Master.

Young Master.

Where do you live?

Why have I never

seen you before?

Do you know Shen Nuo?

We are from the same hometown.

We live in Shisanli Camp for now.

So,

what's your name?

My name is Chang Feng.

Everyone calls me Thirteen.

Just call me Thirteen.

Chang Feng.

Buddy.

Excuse me,

but wasn't there a troupe

performing here before?

Where are they?

Don't get me started.

Those performers

are bad people.

They robbed the Song family and ran away.

Really?

What a pity.

I loved

their opera.

Do you know

where they went?

How would I know?

If I knew,

I would have gone to the government's office to collect the reward.

Look around here.

Government officials

came to raid here

again and again.

We're totally messed up.

Who would dare to

stay here at the Carters' Inn after this?

There's nothing we can do.

Let me help you.

Where should I put this?

Just put it there.

This wine jar...

He.

Are there nails on your butt

that get you pinned to the bed or what?

It's already this hour.

Why haven't you started cooking?

Ye'er.

Ye'er.

Why isn't

she back yet?

Mother.

Why did it take you so long to do the laundry?

Your grandma is asking you to make lunch.

Go.

Mother.

I want to go back to my room and have a rest.

I feel freezing.

Freezing?

Why is there no water?

No one went to get water?

Ye'er, go get some water.

Hurry, go get your father some water.

What's wrong with you?

I froze from doing the laundry outside.

Come here.

She caught a cold.

No way.

She can't be that fragile.

If you feel cold,

go to your room and put on some more clothes.

Then start cooking.

Go.

I think she has a little fever.

Should we take her to see a doctor?

Stop it.

The money we have

isn't even enough for Jizu's gifting next month.

Besides,

there are so many chores to do at home.

What if the doctor

says she's sick?

Who will do the chores?

You're right.

She'll get through this.

Yes.

Young Master.

You're back so soon.

Did you find anything?

Here.

When the troupe ran away,

they left many costumes

behind.

They all smell like this.

Besides,

when I fought

Yu Xiangjin last time,

I accidentally got some

fragrance powder from her sachet.

It also smelt like this.

It smells like

it's made of some kind of herb.

If we investigate in this direction,

we may find something.

Ye... Ye'er.

Man'er.

You should probably sit down

and take a break.

I'm almost done.

Put it down, Man'er.

Why is your forehead so hot?

Let's go to the clinic.

No.

I still have a lot of chores to do.

But you have to be alive first, right?

I happen to have something to do at the clinic.

Come with me.

Man'er.

Thirteen, let's go.

Let's go see a doctor.

Thank you, Miss Man'er.

I'm okay now.

Don't.

The one Lian Man'er is taking you to see

is a doctor named Wang Youheng.

Wang Youheng collects herbs up the hill a lot.

Maybe he's quite familiar with

the herbs.

Go let him take a look at this.

Miss Man'er, wait for me.

Aren't you coming?

I'm not.

Man'er must still be mad at me.

Go.

Okay.

I'll go.

[Liu's Clinic]

It's a cold.

Let me get the prescription for you.

Youheng.

I don't need medicine.

It's common to have a cold,

but if you don't take it seriously,

the consequences can be serious.

Besides,

you have such a high fever.

It's very likely that

you'll get other diseases out of this.

You have to take it seriously.

I'm okay.

Youheng, please get the prescription for her.

By the way,

the one outside is my friend.

He's name is Thirteen.

He's injured.

Please take a look at him.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I'm injured.

Where?

Here.

Take off your clothes first.

I'll get you some medicine.

Ye'er.

What are you looking at?

Look at you.

You're the one

who does the most chores at home.

You are ordered around all the time

like a servant.

You can't suffer in silence like this anymore.

You have to rise against them.

Man'er.

I know you're saying this for my own good.

But look at me.

I have no ability

to rise against them at all.

Everyone has their own fate.

This must be my fate.

What fate?

If you want,

you can come make money with me.

When you are financially independent,

you'll be able to fight back.

No one will dare to bully you by then.

Financially "indeed"?

Anyway,

I'll always be on your side.

Thank you, Man'er.

Youheng.

Can you tell

what spice this fragrance is made of?

There's more than one kind of spice in it.

It's mainly made of common spices, like

fennel, mugwood,

calamus, and lemongrass.

So,

anyone can make

this fragrance, right?

So it's nothing special?

Not really.

There is a herb in it

called moonwort.

This kind of herb

is quite rare.

This kind of herb is mainly used

to expel a kind of insect called Qianjia earwig.

This kind of insect only appears in few areas.

It likes to suck blood.

Once bitten,

people will get rashes all over their bodies,

and they itch intensely.

In serious cases,

their lives may even be at risk.

So,

only those who're

troubled by this kind of insect

use moonwort to repel them.

Moonwort...

Youheng.

Do you know where

this kind of insect often appears?

If you want to find them,

go south down Hua Ridge

for 50 to 60 miles.

There are fields of moonwort there.

Ask those who collect herbs.

Maybe they can give you some information.

Okay.

Sorry for the trouble.

You're welcome.

You can go now.

Take this cold remedy twice a day

for three days, and you should be fine.

I brought you some extra doses.

This way,

you can take this medicine as soon as possible

if you catch a cold again.

It also has a preventive effect.

Man'er.

This wine is said to be from the Western Regions.

It's called grape fine wine or something.

Take it back and try it.

Grape wine?

There's wine sold here?

We don't have it here.

My father brought this back

from somewhere else

when he went to collect debts.

We'll have it

here as well very soon.

50 to 60 miles south down Hua Ridge?

Yes.

Great.

This way, we can locate where they might be.

Let's set out tomorrow

and get the registration book back from Yu Xiangjin.

After that, we can go back to our hometown.

Tomorrow?

What's wrong?

Young Master.

Is it because you're reluctant

to leave Miss Man'er?

I'm afraid

we won't come back here this time.

-Do you want to... -One day.

Give me one day.

We'll set out the day after tomorrow.

♫Wrapping my heart♫

Lian Man'er.

Where are you going?

Where I'm going

has nothing to do with you.

I was too anxious yesterday.

I was worried about your safety,

so I got a bit over my head.

A bit? Was that a bit?

You almost ate me alive.

Young Master Shen.

You had so much to say yesterday,

and you became all sweetness and light today.

You're really moody.

I'm sorry.

Man'er.

I forgive you. Let's go.

I have something to tell you.

I just wanted to ask you

where you're going.

I'm going up the hill for grapes.

Grapes?

What idea did you come up with this time?

Yesterday, Youheng

gave me a jar of grape wine.

I was thinking,

it's something rare

here.

So I think I'd go up the hill

and pick some wild grapes.

When I get home,

I'll wash and dry them.

What do you think about

my idea of making grape wine?

Not very good.

If you want to make wine,

not to mention the complicated processes,

it'll be very hard

to sell it.

Think about it.

The poor can't afford it,

and you can't reach the rich.

How about distilled grape wine?

Distilled grape wine?

It is to reduce the difficulty of brewing wine

by distillation.

It preserves the fragrance of the fruit

while lowering the price

of the wine.

It sounds like

something worth a shot.

From the emperor and the officials,

scholars and literati,

to ordinary folks,

they all like wine.

Since it's cheap

and rare,

it will be able to sell.

But why do you

know so well

about the dignitaries?

That's what I've been told.

What you've been told. Again?

What other secrets do you have

that I don't know?

I didn't expect that there would be a hot spring cave

in the backwoods.

Cave, cave, cave, cave.

Listen. There's even an echo.

Jinyang County is located at the southeast.

It's surrounded by mountains.

I've heard

there are many

hidden hot springs nearby.

So it's true.

It's warm in the winter,

and there's sunlight in the day.

With hot springs on the side.

And it's always damp in every season.

Perfect timing, geographical and human conditions.

What do you mean by that?

It's perfect timing because

I came up the hill with you today.

The perfect geographical condition

is this hot spring cave.

The human condition

is that this hot spring cave

was discovered by

me, the smart Lian Man'er.

The echo is so loud.

Did you come up with

another idea?

It's a secret.

I'll give you a surprise some day.

Since we're here,

we should enjoy ourselves.

Otherwise,

this gift from God

will be a waste.

-You... -Hurry up.

You are really different

from other girls.

Lian Man'er.

If I leave

some day,

will you make me stay?

If I make you stay, you will?

What I hate the most

is saying goodbye.

If I have to leave some day,

I won't

tell the people around me in advance.

It's useless.

It will only make them sad.

I might as well

say goodbye in my heart secretly.

Do you really think so?

How many times have you said that

you're leaving these days?

Are you really leaving?

Where are you going?

When?

What do you mean by that?

Are you throwing me out?

I just thought

I can't stay here in the Lian family forever.

I have to plan

for my future.

But no one in the Lian family

is trying to drive you away.

You're a perfect match

for our woodshed.

Besides,

now that the garlic peanuts business has hit a dead end,

we need to

find a new business to do as soon as possible.

We can't waste any more time.

Although

you don't work neatly

and you're not as smart as me,

it's still better to have a helper than not.

Just stay here at ease.

Okay.

As I said earlier,

I think the distilled wine business

is really good.

I'll ask my father

to see if he can

make some equipment for distillation.

My father is skillful.

He must be able to make it.

Let's come up the hill and pick more grapes

tomorrow morning.

Okay.

After the wine business starts,

we'll be able to save up a lot of money.

Then we can do real business.

I'll make good use of

this cave as well.

You have to help me.

Okay.

I didn't even say what I need your help with.

All you do is saying "okay".

I'll do

whatever you want me to help you with.

Then,

can you give me all the money you make?

Really?

It's a deal.

Pinky swear, never change.

Whoever changes their mind is an idiot.

The location of the East Market is pretty good.

Let's go check it out when we have time.

Maybe

we can do business there in the future.

After I make money,

I'll buy land for my parents.

Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo.

Let's go pick grapes.

He's not in?

[Till we meet again. Don't look for me.]

If I have to leave one day,

I won't

tell the people around me in advance.

It's useless.

It will only make them sad.

I might as well

say goodbye in my heart secretly.
