The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty

Episode 16

Sis Kaiyang,

do you have feelings for brother Meng Dong?

I think

I do, kinda, yes.

Did you tell him that?

No.

But if you don't tell him,

at least give him a hint.

How?

Kaiyang.

Mr.Meng.

Kaiyang.

I can tell there's something on your mind.

Anything you wanna tell me?

My heart is clear as the moonlight

shining on a fair green lake.

The feelings are unparalleled

that I don't know how to say that.

Kaiyang.

Just tell me bluntly.

Would you marry me, Mr.Meng?

Yes.

Bollocks!

Stop it!

Stop running!

Marry me!

Who is it?

What is it?

Have you noticed

our statue sister has finally become a real girl.

I'm saying that she likes brother Meng Dong.

Go away, go away.

That is none of your business.

She found someone she likes,

what's it got to do with you?

It's not like you're involved.

What are you so excited about?

It's annoying.

Sis Kaiyang is introvert in a way.

We should help her.

We'll be their go-betweens.

How about it?

Not interested.

You like sis Kaiyang, don't you?

She's a few years older than you.

I've seen child brides.

A few years older is nothing.

Sis Kaiyang is gentle and introvert.

She's the kind of person

that always keeps things bottled up.

She needs a sensitive boyfriend.

You, on the other hand

are rude

and reckless.

You are not good enough for her.

What about me?

Whether I like her or not, it's my business.

Even if I'm not good enough for her

I'm still too good for you.

Goodbye.

Explain,

what's not good about me?

You?

What's good about you?

We were just having a disagreement,

you got mad and busted another door.

Who could stand

a firecracker like you?

Talking about being rude and reckless,

is it me or you?

Look at you.

You don't behave like a girl at all,

more like a tigress.

It just occurred to me,

you are even mean to your dad.

A fierce girl like you,

would make your future husband

utterly miserable.

Yaoguang!

Are you trying to dismantle the house?

Yaoguang?

What's happening?

Oh shit.

You're dead.

Yaoguang!

Yaoguang!

Snap out of it!

Yaoguang,

don't you do that!

Those are painstaking effort of sis Kaiyang.

You can't destroy them!

Yaoguang!

Yaoguang!

Yaoguang,

snap out of it!

She's not after me now, is she?

Who knew, kissing could stop her rampage.

Sounds about right.

She went berserker when provoked.

Kissing is

another kind of provocation,

which made her come to her senses.

Now I know

how to deal with her rampage.

Wait,

it's nearly impossible to get close when she's on the rampage.

How do I deal with that?

Oh my dear doors.

Kill me now..

Sis Kaiyang!

That's strange.

Seems like I forgot to bring it.

Sis Kaiyang

what did you forget?

I'll go get it.

I applied for a spool of gold thread.

But apparently I forgot to bring it with me.

Do you remember where did you leave it?

It should be on the cupboard.

Ok,

I'll go get it now.

I'll..I'll go as well.

Meng Dong.

My heart is clear as the moonlight

shining on a fair green lake.

What did sis Kaiyang see in him?

I'm better than him.

Taisui.

What is it?

We live our lives

regardless of the bitterness,

the happiness,

the sorrow,

or the joy.

Life has to go on.

Why not enjoy it along the way?

You'll forget about your troubles

after a few drinks.

Come,

let's go get those drinks.

I've been here before.

Just listen to me.

I'm always right.

My hair.

Sorry baby.

Goddamned Taisui, what's taking so long?

Taisui,

be ready.

You and me,

we will get hammered.

OK.

We're trying something new

when we get to Red Sleeves House.

Okay.

Let's go.

I'm done.

I'm drunk.

No, no.

The last one.

Now kiss him.

No, no.

No kissing, no kissing.

Brother Liu,

you're killing me today.

I'm telling you,

don't blame Yaoguang for constantly bugging you.

She has a temper.

But ever since she came into the department

I've never seen her like this with anyone else.

So I'd say she is quite...

Relationships are

so complicated.

Enough already.

Stop talking about her.

We're here now,

enough about her.

Leave these two men.

Others, run along if you wanna live.

Bro,

good luck with that.

Come with me.

Let go of me!

This is none of your concern.

I'm doing this for your own good.

Let go.

Who do you think you are?

Under what authority can you order me around?

I'm your supervisor,

and your shifu,

how's that for authority?

What supervisor?

We're not on duty!

Mind your own business.

Taisui,

you...

You kissed me.

That means you'll be responsible for me.

I kissed you

means I'm responsible for you?

Then

I got kissed by a lot of people,

am I now their responsibility?

What?

You compare me to them?

You think you're better than them?

In my book,

they're way better than you!

What?

Are you going berserker again?

Are you going to hit me again?

Fine.

Go ahead.

Hit me.

Hit me.

I dare you.

Taisui,

you're a jerk.

That was harsh.

Girls,

they can't be yelled at.

You have to be nice and patient.

What?

Go after her.

Apologize.

I will do no such thing.

I don't owe her anything.

Come on,

let's go back to our drinks.

Gotta pay for the damage, again.

Brother Meng is whimsical as always,

which I admire a lot.

I don't do traditional well.

I'm into things that traditional people

considered strange and unorthodox.

That's why I failed the imperial examinations.

No official career to look forward to.

Your appreciation is a rare gift.

Everyone in uniquely talented

in a certain way.

Forget about the imperial examinations.

I was about to recommend you to the plough department.

After they vetted you,

You shall be one of us.

As talented as you are,

you'll be a military patrolling adviser at least.

What happened?

Look at you.

You

are good at martial arts like your father.

But you're a girl after all.

A girl who doesn't know needlework

nor cooking

has no idea how to be a wife.

Nobody would want a wife

who only plays with swords.

Nobody would?

Then I don't want a husband.

This is awesome!

How did you make the fire?

I was gonna ask you the same.

How did you make yours?

Thunderball.

Thunderball?

What's wrong with you?

Who makes fire with a thunderball?

I,

I just want it to burn faster.

Right.

It was fast.

If it gets any faster,

we're all going to

meet our maker.

I mean,

you can't cook, fine.

You can't even make a fire.

How are you qualified as a woman?

I'm not.

I can't cook.

I can't sew.

You don't like it?

Bite me.

She is a really good person actually,

except the temper.

Always so childish like a kid.

Sis Kaiyang.

What's wrong?

One day apart

you got a lovesick heart.

It's a beautiful day,

come walk with me.

Yaoguang's father

General Cao Wei came from a family of generations of warriors.

Seven brothers, all formidable soldiers.

Their militarized family traditions

passed down to Yaoguang's generation.

And she grew up amongst boys,

which made her a

not-so-feminine girl.

Her mother came from an eminent family

where she was pampered growing up.

She is not a very docile lady.

Their marriage went though a rocky path

when they were young.

Don't be fooled by Yaoguang's carefree appearances.

She is in fact very sensitive.

Whenever her parents got into a fight,

she would be upset for a long time.

She told you all that?

Despite all her tough appearances

she's very fragile on the inside.

The aggressive and impulsive way she acted

is from a deeply insecure place

in her heart.

I know that

she would kill for a committed relationship.

But she always lets the fear of losing

get in the way,

makes everything worse.

But...

I have feelings

for you.

Do you really prefer me

to Yaoguang?

Of course I do.

I...

Not so fast.

Close your eyes and think.

Think it over.

We are talking about

spending a lifetime together with someone.

You little girl,

you seem kinda cute.

What happens if someone bullies you?

How about you come with me,

to be my wife?

how's that sound?

In your dreams.

You're a thief.

I'm an officer.

Officers and thieves

have always been incompatible.

You are to redeem yourself by good service.

Therefore,

move along.

From this day forward,

I'm your supervisor.

Call me shifu.

Shit foot.

Shifu, not shit foot.

You,

tread carefully.

You don't want to step on my toes.

Ha ha, Scary!

Wait!

Who gave you permission to hug me?

You were trying to take advantage of me.

I wouldn't try even if I could.

You're dead!

Come here!

Get away from me!

Stop!

Come here!

Do you know how much effort

she put in your 'funeral'?

She went to

every single store in Tainan County,

to pick out the best coffin and candles.

I noticed that Yaoguang doesn't hate you at all.

She's just

can't help pranking on

people closest to her.

I'll never

quarrel against you again.

I won't bicker with you

nor call you a violent woman

ever again.

You,

you kissed me.

That means you'll be responsible for me.

I got kissed by a lot of people,

am I now their responsibility?

Taisui,

you're a jerk.

How was it?

Do you have an answer now?

I like you for your tenderness and gracefulness.

However, I don't share

your love for poetry.

I did enjoy all the playful banter

I had with Yaoguang.

Sis Kaiyang,

you're into building machinery, tranquilly.

While I like

running wild with Yaoguang,

doing stupid and funny things like

catching frogs or chasing pheasants.

So who is the one you truly want?

When Yaoguang is around,

I'm annoyed by her literally all the time.

Now that she's gone,

I'm starting to realize that

it is so boring

without her being here

constantly annoying me.

I think

the happiest,

the most light-hearted days I had

was the ones with her around.

Forging a relationship

is like to weave a piece of cloth.

You started out

carefully

stitch by stitch.

But it takes only one pull

to fall apart.

Losing a relationship is much faster than building one.

Therefore,

we must learn to cherish what we have.

I think I understand this now.

Little lady,

may I offer you my courtesy?

Are you seeking divine prophecy on your love life?

Ice-sugar Hawberry!

Ice-sugar Hawberry!

Mister.

Young lady.

How much?

Two coins.

It smells so good.

Do you want one?

All you have to do

is ask...

You haven't paid yet.

Here you go.

This is for you.

Piss off.

The spring breeze blows

over a boy by the fence.

Who is this lovesick dude?

What?

Taisui,

Say that Yaoguang, Kaiyang and I

were to fall into the water at the same time.

Which one of us would you rescue first?

Let's see.

I'd definitely kill you first.

What's wrong?

You drove her off,

couldn't get her back?

I just want that perky, noisy girl back.

But

now she's stone-cold

and totally ignoring me.

Silly.

You threw in the towel for one minor setback.

I did not.

I just completely ran out of options.

There is an old saying

which must have been very wise

for it was well spread by people.

You need to follow it.

What old saying?

It takes a persistent man to tame the fiercest lady.

Tell me,

is Yaoguang fierce?

Very.

Are you a man?

You betcha.

There you have it.

What does it mean?

It means,

be persistent, be brazen.

You need to haunt her till she comes around.

She went home, didn't she?

Go to her house.

Seriously?

Great.

Talk later!

What kind of wicked idea you just infected Taisui with?

Nonsense.

I am an honorable person,

don't you smear my good name.

I don't believe you.

I merely asked him to show some sincerity

by visiting her family home.

The Cao residence?

That's general Cao's property,

the place has militarized house rules.

Taisui will get hurt

if he shows up there.

No pain, no gain.

No way.

We're going to keep an eye on him.

Come on.

Let's go.

My lady.

There's a man from the plough department named Taisui,

he wants to see you.

No.

You're being impolite.

He came here to see you,

there's no harm to meet him.

Where are your manners?

No.

I won't see him.

This kid.

Come on.

Drink up.

Cheers.

General,

there's a young man from the plough department

says he's name is Taisui.

He wants to see lady Yaoguang.

He has the audacity to come here

after making my little girl cry.

Bludgeon him out.

Yes.

Wait.

Cao.

what's going on?

Is our Yaoguang seeing someone?

That'll be an overstatement, big brother.

My Yaoguang

has a crush on this kid.

She wouldn't have come home

if it weren't for him.

She'd still be mad at me.

This kid.

Well

forget about bludgeoning,

just throw him out.

Throw him out.

Wait.

This is the man Yaoguang likes,

don't throw him out just yet.

We brothers have to

get a good look at him.

Right.

Brother,

what is there to see?

Yaoguang likes this kid,

but the feeling is not mutual.

A man who doesn't appreciate our girl exists?

Brother,

I have an idea.

We could test his intentions.

If Yaoguang doesn't like him any more,

we'll rip him a new one,

just to defend Yaoguang's honor.

He is resourceful as usual.

Pray tell.

What?

It's true.

Everyone in the residence has heard.

They're on their way there to watch.

Very well.

I don't care.

Hit him.

He deserves it.

Rip him a new one.

Kick his sorry ass.

Beat him senseless.

He deserves it.

You little brat.

You wish to see my daughter?

Yes.

Fine.

You'll have to go through me.

Kid,

If you can last

the duration of a burning joss stick.

I'll let you see Yaoguang.

Young man,

I

will not hold back.

Even it's the hell,

I'll see it through.

Stop, stop.

It's me.

You?

Here I come!

You little brat!

You cheat!

What sorcery is this?

You have no idea.

It's called illusion tricks.

Stop, stop, stop!

What's going on?

I used illusion tricks.

Is it against the rules?

Yes.

You have to fight honestly.

Real skills, no tricks.

Do you hear me?

OK.

Goddamned Taisui.

Total jerk.

Stupid.

Stinky.

You dare not walk all over me again.

This is bad, bad news!

What is it?

How is he?

Young lord is half dead.

What did you just call him?

He means absolutely nothing to me.

Kid,

don't you wanna see Yaoguang?

Get up.

Get up.

This kid is tough.

He's resolute enough.

I like it.

Kid, come on!

This can't go on.

Wenqu,

you go help him.

No need to worry.

They are avoiding his major organs.

That's not good enough.

You see what he looks like now.

You know Yaoguang,

only if Taisui learned his lesson

can those two kids

be straightened out.

Tell me how he is.

Young..

that young man who means nothing to my lady

has been beaten to death by

all the old lords.

What?

Here.

It's fine.

He won't die.

Is he really hurt that bad?

He is.

I can feel the pain just by looking

Idiot!

Even though

even though he can't die,

the pain

is no joke.

Easy!

Liu!

You see that?

He can't get the girl

until he proves himself.

Stop!

Stop!

What are you doing?

Daughter.

You're here.

You are all bullies!

Do you see how badly you hurt him?

Daughter,

he insulted you,

I was defending your honor.

Who insulted me?

He is my..

He's my disciple.

He did no such thing.

Daughter, here's the thing,

this kid came here to...

You guys get down here.

We, uh...

What a lovely day!

Let's go get a drink.

Let's go.

Go get a drink.

Taisui.

Taisui.

Let's go.

Yaoguang.

It's really you.

It's worth it

as long as I get to see you.

You are an idiot.

How about that?

Behold, another brilliant foresight

by yours truly.

Dinner time!
