[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

[Episode 14]

-Young Master. -My lady.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Madam's orders.

Young Master needs to focus on healing.

My lady, please bear with it and go back quickly.

Honey.

Honey.

Hurry up, haven't you had enough during the day?

Being too lovey-dovey to the point that it affects the plants wouldn't be good. My lady.

Honey, then let's meet again tomorrow.

Honey.

I'll wait for you tomorrow morning.

[Wen's Mansion]

Wen Chenyi.

With a face like a lotus and brows like a painting;

Surpassing countless immortals in heaven.

Today, he is so handsome that it's infuriating.

I shouldn't let my saliva drip

and ruin the mood.

Today, you...

I woke up late today.

I didn't have time to groom and dress up.

This is

my first date since leaving single life.

His first impression of me depends on you, Wei.

Don't worry, Manyi. I've noted it all down.

It needs to be bright, yet clear.

It must be careful, but not deliberate.

It should give a feeling of

being natural even without makeup.

In short,

the “Straight Guy Killer” look.

Does it look sloppy?

Even without dressing up,

you are beautiful.

Your outfit...

I think the same as you.

Great minds think alike.

It's just a casual outfit.

Young Master.

How about this dark-colored long robe?

It makes you look noble and steady.

Old-fashioned.

How about this lake-blue brocade robe with cloud trim?

Too clichéd.

The blue cloud-patterned long robe.

So today

is our two-person world.

Let's start our sweet love.

Master, please.

Honey, you are so considerate.

It was just a casual preparation.

Attention, everyone.

Attention, everyone.

Especially focus on the details, details.

Dongqing, Jiaobai.

You need to put your emotions into the performance.

The emotions need to be sincere.

Understand?

Okay.

Brothers and sisters, the fruit needs to be arranged.

The petals, one by one.

Musicians.

Follow the sheet music I gave you.

Listen to my direction. Pay attention to the atmosphere.

Boss.

The audience tomorrow must be even numbers.

They should be in pairs, so there will be...

A feeling of love.

No problem.

Okay.

Everyone, get moving.

Tomorrow

it's all up to me.

They...

He has a fondness for poetry and literature.

Preparing "The Legend of the White Snake" is definitely correct.

It's a perfect date plan.

Miss.

Your hairpin fell.

Great!

You're awake.

The play is over?

The play was full of twists and turns, deeply moving.

I'm savoring it.

I've known “The Legend of the White Snake” since I was little.

I fell asleep because of that.

It's alright.

Sometimes,

What you do is not important.

What matters is the thought behind it.

The most important thing

Is having you.

Has anyone ever said you're good at sweet talk?

Yes.

Who?

You just said so.

Alright.

Next, just wait for the surprise

I've prepared for you.

Are you taking me to the mountain to enjoy the scenery?

Don't be impatient.

Look over there, Honey.

Slow down, Honey.

What's this?

Why...

Don't you take a guess?

You didn't

prepare 999 roses, did you?

You like that?

Well.

That means I had a wrong guess.

Try guessing again.

Will you tell me or not?

If you don't, I'll just leave.

Honey, look.

Did you make this yourself?

How are you so talented?

Do you have any other surprise skills

I don't know about?

It's just a wooden kite.

No need to make a fuss.

[The Fourteenth Bone of the Kite]

Manyi likes joy and fun.

She will definitely like

this date plan.

Hurry up,

let me experience the joy of flying through the air.

Ready, Honey?

Yes.

Get ready.

One, two, three.

It's my fault for planning this date.

I fell asleep during the play, and it started off badly.

I completely ruined the mood.

He wouldn't regret agreeing to this, would he?

If only my plan had been more thorough,

I wouldn't have ruined our first date.

It's all my fault. She must be angry with me.

Look at him. His eyes were so angry they seemed ready to devour me.

She indeed complains through her eyes.

Jiaobai, stop the carriage.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Not really.

I need to get out and clear my mind.

I also have a few things to take care of.

Let's meet at the teahouse in four hours.

Alright.

It's raining outside. Take an umbrella.

No, I have to make it up.

No, I have to make it up.

Finally, there's a date,

and it's raining.

Heaven truly shows no mercy.

What should I give him?

This one looks really nice.

I will give him...

Right?

I also think it looks nice.

Clay figurine.

Liuyue Clay Sculpture Studio.

Thank you.

Boss,

I'd like to choose a gift for my husband.

Do you have anything suitable?

Look at these mandarin ducks.

A pair of matching ones,

flying together.

How nice.

I think it's a bit old-fashioned.

Then how about this one?

Golden boy and jade girl.

It symbolizes a talented man and a beautiful woman.

This golden boy and jade girl is quite good.

This gift box looks very exquisite.

What good things are inside?

This, Miss, is specially customized by another customer

for his loved one. It's not for sale.

You can customize here?

Of course.

A handmade gift

will be even more unique.

Miss, your craftsmanship is truly exceptional.

The true and false Monkey King figures you made

are incredibly delicate.

Here's another chance for you to take a good look.

Is your eyesight poor?

Manyi, let me see.

What are you doing here?

Isn't it obvious?

Two catfish.

The male fish is happily holding the female fish.

Right?

Your eyesight isn't as good as the boss's.

Sir.

The item you requested has been fired and is ready.

Okay.

Did you make this?

Yes,

I made it myself.

Manyi. Do you want to open it and take a look?

No,

Manyi.

[Liuyue Clay Sculpture Studio]

Manyi.

Manyi.

Are you angry?

This one is me, and this one is Wen Chenyi.

Don't they look like us at all?

It really is Wen Chenyi?

No wonder the shopkeeper said it looks like a monkey.

Will he be unhappy

if I give him this?

My skills are really poor.

I don't know about him,

but if it were me,

I'd definitely be very happy

because it's a handmade gift

from you.

Yes.

He also said that the thought behind it is what matters most.

No matter what,

he must

like it.

Manyi.

What's wrong?

Do you really like him that much?

No.

I knew you didn't.

I really, really like him.

You're the first to know

that Wen Chenyi and I are together.

Don't say I'm not a good friend.

You really do like him.

Yes.

You should understand this feeling.

Don't you have someone you like too?

Manyi, you know I have someone I like?

The shopkeeper just said,

this clay figurine

is for your loved one.

♫It's like deep and true love losing to time♫

You haven't told me

who your loved one is.

You're really not a good friend.

♫Only sadness and wounds can be commemorated♫

Hurry, hurry, hurry

Actually...

Oh, no. I'm going to be late

Let's talk about it next time.

♫Just like movie plots and stories, only imperfections hold beauty♫

Actually...

Actually, it's you.

♫It can become destined regrets♫

♫When do we feel loved and indebted♫

♫It seems as if deep affection is captured in film♫

[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

Cui Jun.

Manyi.

What are you doing here?

I've been waiting here for you for a long time.

I have a request.

What is it?

Did Cui Jun give Manyi

a love letter?

Manyi, don't forget to give it to Miss Chenwei.

Don't worry.

By the way,

I copied this letter from a book.

Can you help me check if it's correct?

Ah?

I'm leaving now.

You want me to review it?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You're here.

Honey.

Please help me

read this letter.

Can't you read it yourself?

I haven't learned all the characters yet.

Please help me.

Mandarin Ducks. He is really coveting my wife.

Be careful, take it slow.

What's this?

This...

It's nothing.

Upon first meeting you,

I have been thinking about you madly and can't forget you.

I wonder if there's a chance to grow old together with you.

Please reply at the entrance of the Wen residence.

From Jun.

What's this letter about?

A curse letter.

It's... It's not important.

That guy wrote a curse letter?

Yes.

Come on, let's go.

My lady.

Mr. Wen is deeply devoted to Cheng Manyi

and loves her dearly.

Why don't you give up?

Shut up.

What is a momentary affection worth?

She and Wen

are from completely different worlds.

They won't last.

In all of the Feng State,

only I

deserve Wen.

Mr. Jun.

In this fleeting world,

I have three loves.

The sun, the moon, and you.

The sun as the morning,

the moon as the night,

and you are the person I love from morning to night.

Good.

It's easy to find a priceless treasure,

but hard to find a loving partner.

I wish you a hundred years of happiness.

Cui Jun.

Cui Jun.

What are you doing?

Cui Jun.

Is there a lot of homework at the academy recently?

I don't know.

Maybe he's under too much pressure.

Stay away from such a strange person.

Let's go.

Father and Mother, I understand.

What are you looking at?

Miss Chenwei.

Cui Jun?

Is Cui Jun really cursed?

Fortunately, I didn't give the letter to Wei.

Exactly.

In the future,

you should stay away from him.

Wait.

Giving the letter to Wei?

Yeah.

He begged me for a long time to help him review the letter.

How can't recognize so many characters?

How ridiculous.

What jealousy have I consumed?

No.

He can't like Wei, either.

Fortunately, she didn't give the letter to Chenwei.

[Wen's Mansion]

Be careful.

Have we arrived?

Almost, almost.

Come on,

Move forward a bit.

Okay,

We're here.

Honey, please take a look.

This...

This is what you prepared?

You mentioned the flowers today.

These are all the varieties I could find.

Including

roses.

How is it?

Are you satisfied with the first date experience

I prepared you?

As long as you prepared it, I like it.

Actually, I prepared something too.

♫The candle is burning out, the dawn is breaking♫

♫The moon knows my thoughts♫

♫Life is so long, I hope to spend♫

Is this me holding you?

♫The rest of my life with you♫

You're the first to notice.

To reward you for noticing,

♫It's a long way to go♫

I will let you know the other name for roses.

♫May I have a lifelong partner♫

The other name for roses is...

Love you.

Love you.

♫Let me be your lover♫

You're really smart, you learned it right away.

Say it again.

♫Hope you can get to know my love♫

Love you.

♫Wait for the arrangement of fate♫

Love you.

♫Let us be together♫

♫It's a long way to go♫

♫I want to be with you forever♫

It's raining harder. Let's find shelter.

Let's go.

Okay.

♫In halcyon days♫

♫I can hug you♫

♫And give you a happy life♫

What kind of place is this?

♫Let's hold hands and grow old together♫

Only the members of the Wen family know about this place.

It is rarely known to outsiders.

♫Let that story be sloppy♫

I usually come here alone

to study and research.

♫It's worth the love♫

The place is indeed quite secluded.

♫It's good that it's you♫

When you come for seclusion and study,

♫It's okay to be a little late♫

I'll reluctantly accompany you

in seclusion and cultivation.

Then, I'll trouble you, Honey.

It's a pity that the weather isn't cooperating.

Heaven is jealous of lovers.

So frustrating.

Please don't be angry, Honey.

♫Let me be your lover♫

Actually, it's enough for lovers to be together.

♫Hope you can get to know my love♫

♫Wait for the arrangement of fate♫

But this is a date I've been looking forward to for a long time.

♫Let us be together♫

I want a perfect ending.

♫It's a long way to go♫

♫I want to be with you forever♫

Then,

for example, what do you want?

For example...

♫In halcyon days♫

♫I can hug you♫

♫And give you a happy life♫

♫Let's hold hands and grow old together♫

♫Let that story be sloppy♫

♫It's worth the love♫

♫It's good that it's you♫

♫It's okay to be a little late♫

[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

Sister!

Oh, no!

Please.

Let's go.

Thank you, Doctor.

Farewell.

Farewell.

I've confessed.

Grand Master. He confessed everything.

Speak.

The doctor said that every time Wen Chenyi has a fever,

his mind returns to when he was nine years old.

Young Madam.

What's wrong, Young Madam?

My lady!

Young Madam.

I succeeded!

Honey!

I'm really a little genius.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

How did you get dirt on your face?

It scared me to death.

This is for you.

This...

What is this?

This is called a heating sachet.

Hold it.

It heats up by itself?

How amazing.

The principle of making it is quite simple.

If we mass produce it in the future,

as long as you carry it with you, you won't be afraid of getting sick from the cold.

So you got up early

just to make this for me?

What are you talking about?

How come there's only this?

The heating sachet is just for emergencies.

To fundamentally improve your health,

you still need to strengthen your body.

This is a fitness plan customized just for you.

I want you to check attendance.

This is part of my reward system.

It can't be given out casually.

Ready.

Three, two, one.

Rise!

Again.

Keep going.

Again.

Is this a reward for the Young Master,

or for the Young Madam herself?

What do you understand?

This is clearly a reward for us.

My lady said

this is called "shipping someone."

It's even more enjoyable than watching your own romance.

Dongqing knows me well.

No wonder you're a loyal reader

of "The Domineering Scholar Falls for

the Pricey Little Sweetheart"

Young people are so full of tricks.

Why don't we

try it when we get back tonight?

At our age,

how inappropriate.

Let's talk about it back at the house.

Alright then.

Master.

Young Master.

The City Guard Department sent someone to inform us

that the investigation results

for the academy fire are out.

This operation really made me laugh.

The black-clad man started the fire right in front of me.

And you're telling me it was an accident?

Can it be any more absurd?

This is the final verdict.

If you have objections, you may go to the government office

and appeal to the Imperial Censor.

You have failed to act for so many times.

Do you live up to this sacred profession?

Where is the public servant's sense of duty?

Farewell, no need to see us off.

Stop right there!

Honey.

I'm going to the Imperial Censor

to appeal.

Who is it?

It's almost time to close the court, and you're still here beating the drum?

Sirs,

I need to appeal to the Imperial Censor.

The Imperial Censor stayed overnight at the brothel last night.

Go look there.

Isn't this Mr. Wen and Miss Cheng?

It might have been a matter of life and death earlier.

Is this how you treat the common people?

Miss Cheng, you're overthinking.

Our Feng State is peaceful and prosperous.

There's no life-and-death matter.

Right.

If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving.

I haven't said anything yet.

I haven't told you my matters yet.

Alright, Honey.

Honey, alright, alright.

Do not get angry.

Do not get angry.

This is all because

the Feng State highly values education.

Everyone is eager to take the civil service exams,

but no one applies for the martial arts exams.

The city guards and the officials

are selected randomly.

So,

this leads to sloppy work.

In that case,

the Imperial Censor is also selected randomly?

Not at all.

Only those who pass the martial arts exams and become martial champion

can be appointed as Imperial Censor.

I've decided.

I will take the martial arts exams.

I will become the martial champion.

I will become the Feng State's first female Imperial Censor.

The Feng State's first female Imperial Censor?

Yes.

I want to uphold justice for the people.

While I am still in this world,

I'll protect everyone I care about

and fulfill the professional dream I haven't achieved.

Honey.

Will you support me?

Yi.

The Wen family has a special status.

To avoid concerns from the court and potential disturbances,

I established a family rule

that prohibits participating in the Imperial exams

or holding official positions.

It's a pity for your talent in the academic field and government service.

Father, I understand your concerns.

I won't feel sorry for it.

Even if I spend my whole life teaching in the academy,

to establish principles for heaven and earth,

to give life meaning for the people,

and to continue the learning of past sages, I will be content.

Fool,

how could I not support you?

I will support anything

you want to do.

Especially your dreams.

If you want to do anything,

just go ahead and do it.

I'll be here for you.

Then come here for a moment.

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Mr. Wen?

To take the martial arts exam.

Mr. Wen, just focus on teachings.

You don't need to worry about

this matter of wielding a sword.

It’s not him who's going to take the exam.

It's me.

Well.

What did Miss Cheng say?

Did I just hear that wrong?

I said

I want to take the the martial arts exam.

I want to become

an Imperial Censor.

Did you hear that clearly?

You should stay at home, and support your family.

Isn't that a nice thing to do?

Why bother participating in such a crude thing as the martial arts exams?

Maintaining order

and protecting the people

should be left to us men.

Miss Cheng, being a woman,

you should hurry back home.

-Go home. -Go back.

Fine.

You look down on women, don't you?

I, Cheng Manyi, will show you that I can do it.

The first step

is to make a name for myself in the martial arts world.

[Free Case Solving for the People]

Manyi.

Thank you for thinking of me.

Helping the people with their troubles

is also my dream.

You're my little brother,

so naturally, I will protect you.

If there's good fortune, I'll share it with you.

Manyi, do you think we

will soon solve major cases

and gain fame far and wide?

Let's wait and see how we can show our skills.

[Free Case Solving for the People]

For three consecutive days,

there hasn't been a single person watching the excitement.

[Crafting Gold and Silver Jewelry]

Everyone would rather tolerate the inefficiency of the City Guard Department

than believe in us.

Do you know why?
