Dear Herbal Lord Season 1

Episode 8

Come on, pull it like this.

Yeah.

Like this?

Clever girl.

Are you okay?

Jiang Qingyun.

Herbal Lord .

What has Your Lordship

come here for?

Jiang Qingyun,

what are you doing?

What a coincidence, Your Lordship.

Jiang Qingyun,

why do you veil your face?

Well, it has no special purpose.

Your Lordship.

Miss Xiao.

What's your business?

Your Lordship,

it was by accident that I hurt you previously.

My dad has punished me by locking me up for a self-reflection.

I promise I'll never do it again.

It was me whom you hurt by accident.

Why do you apologize to Herbal Lord?

Miss Xiao is unskilled in archery,

so she's likely to hurt herself

as well as other people.

That's true, Your Lordship.

I promise that I'll practice

more diligently from now on.

How about

I teach you archery?

Does Your Lordship

really mean it?

Are you going to teach me archery in person?

When shall we begin?

How about now?

Your Lordship is awesome!

Your Lordship is excellent.

A bull's eye again!

What's the big deal?

" You're such a petty man,

ignoring me when you can't absorb my herbal essence."

Keep your hands steady.

"Do you really feel so happy with Xiao Ya?

I'll ignore you, too."

Right.

Sorry.

Sorry, Mr. Xiao.

I was distracted just now.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Really?

How can you say it doesn't hurt?

I'll blow the wound for you.

Your pain will be relieved after the blowing.

" It's unexpected that Herbal Lord doesn't sneeze anymore.

Previously his sneezes were incessant

whenever I was within two steps of him,

but now he shows no sign of repulsion

even when I'm so close to him.

Does it indicate that

he's willing to accept me?"

Ain't I right?

See? Herbal Lord never lacks the company of girls.

Don't they say Herbal Lord is woman-proof?

How come he stands so close to a girl now?

He would be closer to your good daughter.

What are you mumbling?

Nothing, nothing.

How come Chu Zhimo

doesn't sneeze now when he's near a woman?

Tell me about it.

A few days ago,

his sneezing had decreased a little,

and now it seems that

the symptom has totally disappeared.

The time is ripe for a marriage.

Master,

whom are you going to marry?

Not me, but Herbal Lord.

Do you mean that Herbal Lord can marry Qingyun now?

Wretched disciple!

What nonsense are you talking?

Did I say something wrong again?

If Herbal Lord marries someone,

wouldn't my daughter be safe then?

Naughty as Qingyun is,

she would never do damage to other people's marriages,

to say nothing of being a man's concubine.

Wait a moment.

Master,

you're making me more and more confused.

There's no time to lose.

I got to visit the City Governor

and discuss Herbal Lord's marriage,

trying to get him engaged

during the hunting period.

See you!

Master, master.

What a daughter protector.

A blind date?

Yes.

My uncle sneezes whenever he comes near a woman.

How can he have a blind date when he has this strange disease?

Fortunately,

he seemed to have recovered from this disease a few days ago.

I just confirmed with Yiran

that he has indeed recovered.

Really?

Absolutely.

Your Lordship,

as the biological nephew of Herbal Lord

and his only blood relation,

if you don't organize his wedding for him,

wouldn't there be no other people caring about this?

Lord Jiang,

aren't you caring about this matter for my uncle?

Me?

Uh…

Well…

I know, I know.

Lord Jiang,

you want me to bestow marriage

on Miss Jiang and my uncle.

No problem, no problem.

No, no, you're mistaken.

You're very much mistaken.

That's by no means my intent.

Besides,

as the three major families are checking and balancing each other,

we the Jiang family definitely wouldn't damage the present situation.

Please rest assured on that, Your Lordship.

You're speaking too seriously, Lord Jiang.

I'm well aware of your integrity.

It's just that

if Miss Jiang and my uncle

really take a fancy to each other,

then I definitely wouldn't…

No, no, no.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Previously,

I was indeed negligent in educating my daughter.

Now that you've seen the attitude

of Herbal Lord,

you mustn't believe those street rumors.

But I do find

my uncle and Miss Jiang a perfect match.

If she can be my aunt-in-law…

Please consider the marriage

between my uncle and Miss Jiang.

No need to consider that.

It's impossible.

What's your opinion, Lord Jiang?

Your Lordship,

the daughters of all the distinguished families

in Daxing City will be present at the hunting occasion.

How about using this opportunity to arrange blind dates for Herbal Lord,

and letting him and the chosen girl cultivate their love

during the hunting period.

In this way,

Herbal Lord's marriage

will naturally be settled.

Perhaps Your Lordship will have

a baby cousin

the next spring!

But…

Thanks for trusting me, Your Lordship.

I'm now going to deal with this matter.

Lord Jiang.

What a happy event.

It deserves celebration!

Raise your hand.

Your Lordship,

I've practiced for quite a long time.

Could I take a rest?

Raise your hand.

Good. Take aim.

Pull the band backward.

Your Lordship,

now that you don't sneeze anymore,

could you,

could you come closer to me

and guide me with your hands?

Good job.

You're very gifted.

Like this?

That's right.

How come Xiao Ya is so close to him?

Does she want to scramble with me for the herbal essence?

Are they also

absorbing the essence mouth-to-mouth?

Qingyun,

what's wrong?

Nothing.

Mr. Xiao.

Ya.

Miss Xiao is exhausted and has heatstroke

after practicing for a long time.

Ya.

Mr. Xiao, don't worry.

It's just heatstroke that Miss. Xiao has.

She'll be alright after drinking several bowls of mung bean soup.

If you're still worried,

I'll call my dad over to treat her.

Thank you, Miss Qingyun.

Qingyun,

I'll take leave now.

See you tomorrow.

I remember you don't like Xiao Ya.

I dislike her indeed,

but she is Mr. Xiao's younger sister.

I should show her some respect on his account.

Seems that you have great respect for Xiao Ziming.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship, why do you ignore me?

Please say something.

Don't walk so fast.

By the way,

I haven't told anyone

that you bit me.

Didn't you say that is a secret between us?

So I've been

keeping it from my dad, my senior apprentice-brother,

and even from Lyuluo.

Your Lordship,

could you stop ignoring me, please?

Never mind.

Now I resign myself to your biting,

but could you please not bite Xiao Ya?

If you don't agree to that,

we can negotiate.

Jiang Qingyun,

how can you say that?

Your Lordship.

Wait, wait for me.

I apologize.

Why are you still mad at me?

Chu Zhimo,

can you just be straightforward with me?

Fine.

I'll be straightforward with you now.

Everyone in Daxing City

knows that I've always been woman-proof.

There's not even

a maid at my abode, the Qinghe Residence.

You said that I bit you.

True.

I admit.

But how is it possible that I would bite other girls?

Do you regard me as an indecent man?

I…

Your Lordship, I just…

Enough.

Cut your crap.

I'll leave you alone to ponder it.

Got it.

In this case,

I…

Your Lordship.

Have they

come here

to bite you?

Qingyun,

please

listen to my explanation.

You liar!

Qingyun!

Qingyun!

Miss Qingyun,

where are you going?

Qingyun!

" It's strange.

Why are they at loggerheads again?"

You wanna find me? Daydreaming!

Jiang Qingyun,

where on earth do you plan to hide yourself?

That's my own business.

Why bother about looking for me when Your Lordship's room

is full of pretty girls?

You're mistaken.

Mistaken?

You said there is no woman at Qinghe Residence,

but I saw a room of women

at the relay station,

wearing skirts of various colors:

white skirts, blue skirts, green skirts…

You mortals are the best liars.

Well,

are you jealous?

Why is there a smell of jealousy on your body?

I'm not jealous.

Don't run into the woods anymore.

Your Lordship has the company of other women,

but I have to busy myself

gathering herbs.

There are many

human-eating monsters in the woods.

Don't you fear?

"You can't scare me.

I'm the one who wants to eat you."

Your Lordship

can leave here now if you're afraid

of monsters.

I am a bold girl.

Your Lordship!

You shouldn't kill me

even if you don't want to marry me!

This tree seems to have been enlightened.

It's also attracted by the herbal essence, I suppose.

Oh no.

Chu Zhimo hasn't recovered from the previous illness,

so he definitely isn't the rival of this botanic immortal.

If they continue fighting,

Chu Zhimo, my source of herbal essence, will be snatched away.

What do I do now?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Don't stand here . Let's go quickly.

Let's take a rest.

I'm really exhausted.

I didn't know you're such a capable girl

until now.

Well,

are you still angry with me?

"The herbal essence smells so fragrant.

No, no.

Withstand the temptation, Little Woad."

Stay away from me!

Speaking of the previous matter,

I really have never let any woman

into my room,

except for

you.

"The herbal essence.

I want to inhale it.

I'm dying to inhale it."

Believe me, okay?

What I tell you is all true.

"I can't bear it any longer."

Are you listening to me or not?

Your Lordship,

could you stop tantalizing me?

I can hardly bear it anymore.

I thought

I was the only one who couldn't bear it.

Doctor, doctor,

please treat me.

Please treat me. I've been waiting.

When will it be my turn?

Doctor.

Doctor, treat me first.

Please treat me.

Doctor, doctor.

Come on, give me your hand.

Let me feel your pulse.

Doctor.

Doctor, treat me.

No problem.

I'll treat you later.

Master,

why have you come here?

Where's Chu Zhimo?

He…

He's gone gathering herbs in the mountains with Qingyun.

What?

You wretched disciple!

I…

Master, master.

Calm down, master!

Master!

Master!

How can I calm down?

Calm down, master!

Come back to copy a medical book.

Copy it 100 times!

Qingyun.

Now

is not the time.

How come

this thing is in here?

Is it yours?

Of course not.

How would I own such an ugly thing?

Really?

Sure.

This sachet looks so ugly.

How can it be mine?

I mean it.

Your Lordship,

stop putting such an ugly thing on your clothes.

It's not in line with your manners as Herbal Lord.

I'll embroider a beautiful one for you next time.

Good.

Remember to embroider a beautiful one.

Don't make it as ugly

as this one.

Is this one really so ugly?

By the way,

do you remember the incident I told you last time

about Herbal Lord Valley?

Do you mean the incident

that a large area of Herbal Lord Valley

has been planted with poisonous grass?

Yes.

But I can't find the specific location.

Don't worry.

After the hunting is over,

I'll go there with Lord Jiang to make a thorough investigation.

OK.

Your Lordship,

just now…

Chu!

Wow, so many yummy dishes.

I'll take leave now.

Seems that you feel quite at home .

I've invited you here not for eating.

Oh, how's your health?

I'm so indebted to you, Miss Jiang,

for remembering me, a poor patient.

It's said that you've been as busy as a bee recently,

practicing slingshot with Xiao Ziming

and gathering herbs with my uncle and all that.

How come you've taken time from your busy schedule

to visit me?

Do you still regard me as your bro?

Yes, yes.

I won't forget you even if I forget all other people.

These are the herbs my dad prescribed for you.

They're very effective.

Wish you a quick recovery.

I'll just forgive you this time.

Don't disappoint me again.

Okay.

Don't be so focused on eating.

Let me ask you a serious question:

Which one do you choose

between Xiao Ziming and my uncle?

Of course I'll marry Herbal Lord.

Then you have to hurry up.

Don't worry.

Our relationship

has now progressed to a more intimate one.

I'm presently embroidering a sachet for him.

You call that a progress?

There are numberless girls in Daxing City who want to make sachets

for my uncle.

I mean substantive progresses.

Like this.

And this.

And this.

Have you done these?

I tell you what,

your dad is going to arrange blind dates

for Herbal Lord.

Maybe he'll be engaged after the hunting is over.

And now you're still ignorant of all this.

What?

Then what should I do?

What else can you do?

Just go back and finish embroidering your sachet,

and give it to my uncle on the day

of his wedding,

putting an end to this complete love story

between you and him.

My uncle will thank you for doing this.

No!

Herbal Lord can only marry me.

Chu,

please come up with a way for me.

Please tell me what to do.

Are you really so eager to be my aunt-in-law?

Being your aunt-in-law

is the biggest goal in my life.

Then there is only one way.

There is only one way

to marry my uncle,

which is to "have the rice cooked " (having sex).

Although my uncle appears to be

indifferent on the outside,

he is after all a man of honor.

By that time, he will have no choice but to marry you.

Your Lordship,

let's have the rice cooked.

What's up?

Let's go to cook rice.

Come on.

Have you finished copying the medical book?

Not yet.

But…

Sit down.

Go on copying.

Master, I'll do it here.

Lyuluo,

how come

my daughter hasn't come for dinner ?

Your Lordship, Her Ladyship has gone out.

Gone out?

Where?

Her Ladyship didn't tell me.

She just went out with a bagful of rice in her arms,

saying that

she was going to visit Herbal Lord.

She's gone to see him again?

I tried to stop Her Ladyship,

but she said that

she must hurry up and go to cook rice with Herbal Lord,

otherwise…

You wretched disciple.

Don't you know table manners?

Did you just say that

Her Ladyship has gone to cook rice with Herbal Lord?

It sounds like the idiom "have the rice cooked."

Wretched disciple,

explain it to me!

What does

"cooking rice" mean?

Master,

I'm innocent in this matter.

Qingyun came to see me in the afternoon,

saying that…

You freaked me out.

Your dad just made me copy a medical book as punishment.

Did you want to scare me to death?

Sorry, sorry.

Please sit down, senior apprentice-brother.

Please be seated.

I just want to ask you a question.

I won't keep you long.

Go ahead.

The question is,

what does "have the rice cooked" mean?

What did you say?

What…

What did you say to her?

I…

I told her the truth.

What on earth did you say?

Ma… Master.

Miss Qingyun… I…

I taught…

I…

Wretched disciple.

You, you,

you wretched disciple.

Master, master,

calm down.

I shouldn't deceive Qingyun

no matter what she asks me, should I?

How dare you say such sophistry?

You sophistic, wretched disciple!

Be careful, Your Lordship.

Why are you so absent-minded?

Are you also eager to cook rice with me?

What on earth are you going to do?

Have the rice cooked!

In here?

Yep.

We'll do it in here.

But this is the kitchen.

Isn't rice cooked in the kitchen?

Where else can you cook it?

You…

So you mean cooking rice literally?

What else can "cooking rice" mean?

See? I've prepared some rice.

She has prepared rice,

so she really seems to mean

"cooking rice" literally.

Cook it on your own.

I've already driven away all other people in the kitchen,

so even if you shout for help,

there will be no one to help you.

What on earth are you going to do?

Cooking rice. I've already told you.

Step one:

get undressed.

Getting undressed?

Of course the rice

should be undressed.

The layer of bran hasn't been removed.

The bran layer is like the coat of rice.

You have to rub the rice to make it bright.

You…

So what you mean is "undressing the rice"?

There…

There's a better way to do this.

What's the next step?

The next step is crucial.

It requires a good control of heat.

This step is called

"burn faggots with passionate fire."

Now that we've got faggots,

we need fire to light them.

Great!

Perfect.

Now it's time for you to witness

the fusion of water and…

Your Lordship!

You've spewed up all over me!

Your Lordship,

I didn't know you can cook rice.

No,

it's my first time.

Then from now on, you can cook rice with no other people than me,

and you can marry no other girl than me.

After the rice is cooked,

you have to marry me even if you don't want to.

Who told you that

I would marry you in this case?

The City Governor.

Seems that he's been quite idle recently.

But he didn't tell me why.

Never mind.

All is well as long as you'll marry me.

There's only one step left now:

waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Was it also

Chu Qixian who taught you this?

It's said by my senior apprentice-brother.

I knew it was Jing Yiran.

What a slow process.

Well, it should be done now.

Chu Zhimo!

Put my daughter down!

Dad,

why have you come here?

Silly girl, you've been hoodwinked by him!

No, no,

Herbal Lord didn't hoodwink me.

It was me who came here to "have the rice cooked" with him.

And we did it step by step,

so it was very safe. Don't you worry.

What are these steps?

Well…

The steps…

You!

Turn around!

Now

you tell me.

Step 1: get undressed.

Step 2: burn faggots with passionate fire.

Step 3…

Chu Zhimo,

you licentious pervert.

I'll kill you!

Stop, dad!

Jiang Qingyun, why are you protecting this son of a bitch

when he's treated you indecently?

Lord Jiang,

the steps she said merely refer to

removing the bran layer,

making a fire,

and cooking rice.

How dare you say that?

Really.

The rice is almost done.

You can see it for yourself.

It's true, dad.

Let me show you.

Look.

See?

It's cooked.

Were you

really doing this just now?

Did you "eat any loss" (being molested)?

No.

Dad, I haven't eaten anything yet.

You silly girl.

I'll ask my servants to cook a few dishes later.

Lord Jiang ,

please stay here and have dinner

with the two of us.

The smoke chokes me. I'll go out for some fresh air.

Dad, don't walk too fast!

Your Lordship,

now that the rice is cooked,

when will you marry me?

Let's eat first.
