Episode 18

You...

You first.

Why are you here at school?

I...

came for a walk.

A walk?

Isn't your home...

Let's not talk about me.

Why did you come back?

I was unhappy at home so I came back.

It's the Lunar New Year

and this is what you're eating?

There's no one at school.

No one is maintaining the boilers.

It's too cold.

Why didn't you live elsewhere?

All the motels are closed.

I can't afford the hotels.

There aren't a lot of people at my home.

Why don't you come and live at my place?

No need.

I'll just put on more clothes.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

I'm just really happy to see you.

Xie Liangchen,

welcome back.

Miss Qu,

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you as well.

You're the only one here?

Yes, it' the Lunar New Year.

Everyone's on vacation and have gone home.

Then send dinner to my room later.

I'm sorry, Miss Qu.

The chefs are off as well.

They won't be back until four days from now.

Also, besides you,

there are no other guests at our hotel.

Oh.

Miss Qu, why don't you go home for the new year?

If you want to eat dinner,

you might need to go a bit further

because all the restaurants nearby are closed.

It's also quite difficult to get a rickshaw right now.

Did you drive?

No.

Then you might have to wait for a while.

I got it. Thank you.

My pleasure.

Miss Qu, see you.

See you.

The hotel staff lied to me and said it was difficult to get a rickshaw.

What a liar.

Recently, it's been difficult to get a rickshaw.

Most of the rickshaw drivers have gone home for the new year.

Then how come I bumped into you once I came outside?

Maybe it's because you're lucky.

That's true.

I've always been lucky.

Where to, Miss?

To the Red Plum Restaurant.

Okay.

Miss, we are here.

Thank you.

No, it's okay.

You don't need to pay me again.

Again?

What I mean is it's the Lunar New Year.

I'm just treating this as a good omen for myself for the year

so you don't have to pay me.

Take it as my blessing to you.

That won't do. Take it.

That's too much.

Take it. Take it.

That... that's too much.

Take it.

Take this as well.

This...

It's not easy coming out to work during the Lunar New Year.

Thank you so much.

Treat this as me giving you a red envelope.

Thank you. Thank you, Miss.

Then I'd like to give you a new year blessing here.

Happy New Year, Miss!

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

Take care.

Hello.

Excuse me, are you closed?

Are you Miss Qu Manting?

Yes, I am.

We're not closed. We're not closed.

Miss Qu, this way please.

Thank you.

Miss Qu, what would you like to eat?

Just a bowl of pasta will do.

Just a bowl of pasta?

It's the Lunar New Year and it's late.

I don't want to cause you all too much trouble.

Just give me a bowl of pasta.

I'll leave as soon as I'm done.

So you can all go home early.

It's no trouble. It's no trouble.

It's our duty to serve you.

No.

What I meant was...

It's our duty to serve our customers.

Just order whatever you want to eat.

We're well supplied in the kitchen.

Then add another order of steak then.

And...

a glass of lemonade, please.

Okay.

Anything else?

No.

Miss Qu, please wait shortly.

You order will be served soon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I... but I...

I...

I didn't order so much, right?

No, Miss Qu.

These are all on the house.

This table full?

On the house?

Yes.

You must be kidding!

Because

as you said yourself, Miss Qu, it's the Lunar New Year.

We don't have a lot of customers

and we bought so many ingredients.

They will spoil if we don't cook them.

Besides, you are a regular here at our restaurant.

So...

Your boss is very "lucky"

to have an employee like you.

Miss Qu, enjoy your dinner then.

Miss Qu, do you need anything?

♫ Turn on the light, it is late at night ♫

♫ The window gently sways in the breeze ♫

♫ Calmly, I ask with a soothing heart ♫

♫ Have you ever truly loved? ♫

♫ The first glance of your eyes ♫

♫ Takes root deeply in my heart ♫

♫ As clear as the bright, round moon ♫

Happy New Year.

♫ Recurring dreams lead my soul (I am deeply enchanted by you) ♫

♫ In this lifetime, I am fortunate ♫

♫ To be able to get to know you ♫

♫ If the wind wafts up your longing for me ♫

♫ Enter a dream and stay there ♫

♫ In this lifetime, hope that you and I ♫

♫ Will be together and will get to know each other intimately ♫

Come. Be careful.

Thank you.

Okay.

Be careful.

Here. Give it to me.

Let's go this way.

Thank you very much.

Cigarettes!

Fruits!

Fruits!

Fruits!

Xiao Song!

Xiao Song!

Liangchen.

You're back as well?

I came back a while ago.

I had something to deal with nearby today.

I heard that there was a train

coming from your hometown.

I guessed that it was about time that you came back

so I waited.

I never thought I would actually see you.

What a coincidence.

Did your sister come back as well?

Her... school resumed classes a long time ago.

She has classes today.

Liangchen,

then let's go see her at her school.

I happened to bring back some seafood.

I want to give some to her and Xiaojun.

No need.

We can just eat it ourselves.

It's fine.

There's a lot.

You really don't have to give her any.

My sister... she doesn't eat seafood.

Don't be so courteous with me. Let's go.

Follow me, Liangchen.

Let's go.

What do you mean there's no one by that name?

Teacher,

let me in.

She's a student here.

You don't believe me?

Ask her brother.

Liangchen?

Liangchen?

Liangchen?

Xie Xiang.

This is an all-girls school.

You can't just come in as you please.

Teacher,

you must not have checked thoroughly.

She is here.

How about... you let me come in and look for her?

Who is this?

Xie Xiang?

Is there someone by that name in our school?

- No. - You can't go in.

I'm afraid not.

Teacher, just let me in and look for her.

We really don't have someone by that name in our school.

Xie Xiang!

- Didn't I already tell you already? - Xie Xiang.

- You really can't come in. Go away. - Xie--

Xie Xiang.

- Xiang. Xie Xiang. - We really don't have someone by that name.

Xie Xiang.

Classes are starting.

- Please go away. - Xie Xiang!

- Xie Xiang! - Take a look.

Students are attending class.

- Why are you yelling?! - Xie Xiang!

Xie Xiang!

Xie Xiang!

We don't have a person by that name here.

Please get out.

Otherwise, I'll call the police.

Huang Song.

Xie Xiang!

- Xie Xiang! - We don't have a person by that name here.

Huang Song.

Xie Xiang.

- Xie... - Hurry up and leave.

Don't come back.

Xie Xiang.

Xie Xiang.

Why were you yelling?

Xiaojun,

I brought some food for you and Liangchen's sister.

That teacher wouldn't let me in.

Nonsense!

This is an all-girls school.

Of course, they wouldn't let you in.

What did you bring?

I brought some fish, shrimp, and scallops.

I caught them all personally

and it's already been pickled.

Why don't you just give them to me?

I'll give them to Xie Xiang for you.

No.

I brought these for you and Xie Xiang.

I have to give them to you both in person.

Xie Xiang, well,

she didn't come back from Beijing yet.

I just came back with Liangchen.

He said his sister came back a long time.

Didn't classes start for you guys already?

Then where is Liangchen?

He was here just now.

He disappeared all of a sudden.

Xiaojun,

did something happen to Xie Xiang?

No.

What can happen to her?

It's so chaotic outside right now.

She didn't go missing, right?

Nonsense.

Don't think too much.

Hurry up and go back to your school.

I'll bring all these to her for you.

Okay?

No.

You are her good friend.

You don't even know whether she came back yet.

That means she didn't come back yet.

Furthermore, the teacher said that no one by that name attends this school.

No.

Something must have happened.

I have to go and ask.

Don't, don't, don't. Don't let him go.

Will she let you in?!

Wait for me here.

I'll go and ask for you.

Okay, then I'll wait for you here.

Don't yell again.

Wait here.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

Xie Liangchen is really unreliable.

He left without a word.

Where did you go?

I went to get my bag.

Take that idiot away with you.

If you don't, you'll be exposed.

I can't.

He'll be even more suspicious if I take him back now.

Then what should we do?

Give me your clothes.

Are you planning to⁠—

I'll change into woman's clothes

and let Xie Xiang meet him.

Are you stupid?

Even if you change into woman's clothes,

your hair will expose you.

That's why I went back and got this.

You even prepared that?

Anytime and anywhere in case of emergency.

Do you think it's that fun pretending to be a man?

Pull in me.

Here.

You were looking for me?

I'm your brother's classmate.

My surname is Huang.

My name is Huang Song.

I heard about you from my brother.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Why... were you looking for me?

I...

I brought you some seafood from my hometown.

That isn't good.

I can't accept it.

Why can't you accept it?

Your brother and I are like brothers.

You're his sister so you're like my sister.

Take it. Don't be so courteous.

Take it.

All right then.

Thank you.

Is it a bit heavy?

Let me bring it in for you.

No need.

This is an all-girls school.

Males are not allowed inside.

That's true.

If there's nothing else, then you should head back.

It's getting late.

Okay.

I'm leaving then.

Remember to eat it.

Otherwise it will spoil.

Okay.

Remember to eat it.

Goodbye.

I'm leaving.

You have to eat it.

Goodbye.

It's all over.

That idiot definitely has a crush on you.

What are you talking about?

Take it home to your parents.

You're not eating any?

Xiao Song will save some for me.

He'll save some for Xie Liangchen.

It's quite nice pretending to be a man.

You even get gifted two of everything.

Cut the crap.

Hurry up and change. Let's change back.

Xiao Song.

Give it to me.

Xie Liangchen,

where did you go?

I had diarrhea.

Did you meet your sister?

Yes.

She asked me to thank you for her.

Don't mention it.

Could you smile less pervertedly?

Liangchen,

your sister is really beautiful.

Don't we look exactly the same?

Of course not.

How so?

You just don't look the same.

Her eyes are bigger

and her skin is fairer.

Her lips are also redder

and they curl when she smiles.

Anyway,

she is much better looking than you by a lot. A lot.

Are you sure about this?

I saw her with my own eyes.

Then your eyes are useless.

Where is your seafood?

I gave it to your sister.

All of it?

Yeah, I gave it all to your sister.

Then what am I going to eat?

You don't need to eat it.

Why are you fighting with your sister over it?

Let's go.

- Come back to school with me. - Hey!

Let's go.

Yanlin,

Ji Jin and Junshan haven't come back yet?

They live nearby.

I'm guessing they'll be back tomorrow.

Then... how about Gu Yanzhen?

Didn't he stay at Shunyuan for the Lunar New Year?

Gu Yanzhen?

I don't think he'll be back anytime soon.

What's wrong?

Didn't you hear?

His father is participating in

the negotiation of the Twenty-one Demands.

The government will most likely give in.

Are they really going to sign it?

Who knows?

Nowadays, everyone is protesting on the streets.

You can't depend on the government at all.

Oh right, Liangchen,

aren't you from Beijing?

You didn't participate in the protests?

It was too chaotic on the streets these past few days.

My parents didn't let me go outside.

Luckily, you didn't go.

I heard that the government

sent the military directly to suppress the protestors.

Many people were arrested.

If they really do sign,

then it will be really bad.

If they really sign, then our country is over..

The Beijing government is a coward.

You can't count on them at all.

Right now,

we can only put our hopes in the UK and the US,

hoping they don't want to see the Japanese troops get all the benefits

and do absolutely nothing.

Isn't this ridiculous?

One bully forced his way in,

but we have to count on two other bullies

to bring us justice.

What the heck is this?

What can we do about it?

Our country is weak

so everyone rushing in to bring us down.

Let's hope they don't sign.

If they do, Gu Yanzhen and his family

will be drowned in spit.

You still have one last chance.

You can still leave.

Miss, please don't push me away.

I have no one.

I only want to stay by your side.

Miss,

Chengrui Beile seems to have boarded this train as well.

Did he come here for me?

We don't know yet.

Tell me when you see him.

Yes.

Miss,

I found him.

Xianrong.

Brother.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

Fourteen years.

Brother, did you miss me?

You've been back for a while,

yet you never came to see me.

I have a lot on my hands.

You're that busy?

My life isn't worth much

so I have to do everything myself.

I can't compare to someone like you.

You are one of the royalties.

You are always be able to live so freely.

Such sharp words.

Looks like there was no need for me to worry about

you being bullied out there these past few years.

Maybe you should worry.

It would be best if

you continue feeling guilty.

That way,

if I ever need to ask you for help,

it'll be easy for me to ask.

The times have changed.

I'm afraid I won't be able to help you

with what's going on outside.

I didn't even say what I needed help with yet.

Why are you so quick to turn me down?

If it's a favor for you personally,

I'll definitely help.

However, if it's a favor for Chairman Oda of the Japanese Daiwa Association,

I'm afraid I can't help.

Brother, hearing you say that,

really makes me sad.

Yes.

We haven't met in 14 years.

Our first meeting is like this.

I feel sad about it as well. .

Why are you going to Beijing?

I'm just someone with nothing to do.

I just want to travel around.

Unlike you, Sister Xianrong,

you're extremely busy.

That's true.

The Emperor has abdicated.

Royalties like you

are all civilians now.

It's good to do nothing.

It's safer that way.

The fate of a nation

depends on its people,

even more so for people like us.

The Emperor was doing well in the Forbidden City.

The throne had been passed down for over 200 years.

There were plenty of setbacks.

The hardships we're facing currently mean nothing.

Based on what you said,

you're still dreaming about to reviving the throne.

As humans,

we need some goals to fight for.

You're right about that.

All of a sudden,

I realized that we still have something in common to talk about.

Maybe later,

we may have opportunities to cooperate.

Even though the road ahead is difficult,

it isn't hard enough for me

to ask an invader for help.

If you put it that way,

it really makes me sad.

Xianrong,

don't force me into becoming your enemy.

Not just anyone

can be my enemy.

By the way,

please pay respects to the Empress on my behalf.

It will be her birthday in a few days.

I will personally go to their home

to celebrate her birthday.

My mother believes in Buddhism.

She doesn't like to waste money and hold lavish parties.

We haven't had a birthday celebration for her in many years.

Thank you for your thoughts.

She believes in Buddhism?

Don't joke with me.

Anyway, since she adopted me,

we'll need to meet sooner or later.

You can't hide

from me forever.

Xianrong...

Don't be so reluctant to let me go, Brother.

Later,

we'll have plenty of chances to meet.

The Prince's birthday is in five days.

Chengrui Beile is here to celebrate with him

since he rushed to Shunyuan all of a sudden.

Miss,

I'm afraid he's here for us.

He and his father have been watching over Feng'an for over 30 years.

Even though we are no longer under the rule of the Qing Dynasty,

Feng'an

is still filled with their followers and spies.

Whether they are out in the open or hidden in the dark,

they are all associated with the Rong Mansion.

Even Commander Zhang

has to show them some respect.

If they get involved,

it would be quite bothersome.

Since they know about the goods,

it seems like we will definitely have to sell them.

Why don't we send Mr. James directly to Uiju County

and make the transaction there?

Payment on delivery.

Even if something goes wrong,

it'll have nothing to do with us.

Idiot!

If we make the transaction in Uiju County,

then how would it benefit us?

We were the ones who contacted the buyers.

If we're going to make a transaction,

it has to be made on our turf.

Yes.

Send word down.

Keep a close eye on Rong Mansion.

Report their every move to me.

Yes.

Send a telegram to Uiju County.

Ask Takeda

whether he needs our help in delivering the goods.

Mr. Takeda will most likely not agree.

He can turn us down.

However, if something goes wrong,

then it's not our fault.

What you're trying to say is...

Get some new and capable people

to follow Takeda's men.

If Rong Mansion makes a move,

let them be.

Once they get the goods,

we'll take them from them.

I understand.

Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen!

Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen!

Who is it?

- Gu⁠— - Stop yelling. I'm coming.

Where's Gu Yanzhen?

Miss Qu, what brings you here?

I'm here to find Gu Yanzhen.

Tell him to come out.

I'm sorry.

Young Master is not at home.

Not at home?

Where did he go?

Don't tell me he's at school.

I went to his school to look for him already.

He's not there.

Young Master went to Beijing a while ago.

Come back another day.

When... when did he leave?

Who did he go with?

When will he come back?

Get back here.

I haven't finished talking yet.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You look so down.

Young Master Gu hasn't attended classes recently?

How did you know?

Your school has resumed classes for a month now and I haven't seen him.

You're not feeling down... because of him, right?

It's really because of him?

Where's Gu Yanzhen?

How would I know?

How come you don't know?

In the Lunar New Year,,

he went to find you in Beijing, right?

I don't know. Don't ask me.

Stop lying to me.

Hurry up and tell me. Where is he?

If you're looking for him, then find him yourself.

Stop bothering me!

You're giving me attitude?

I'll tell others about your relationship with him!

You... you... know all about it?

You know as well?

No.

Don't make stuff up.

He didn't have a choice.

- She— - You knew and you still helped him?

Now he's asking you to cover up for him, right?

No.

You didn't really fall for him, right?

No.

So you really do like him?

Oh my god.

Don't be silly, Sister.

I'm telling you, men like him are the most despicable.

They keep you hanging while they use you.

They're cheaters in love.

Abandon your feelings for him immediately.

What are you laughing at?

What are you laughing at?

I'm being serious!

He'll sell you and you'll still be counting money for him!

Do you hear me?

Yes, yes, cheaters in love. I'll break things off with him.

Stupid!

Where's Madam Yu?

I didn't see her.

She's probably out.

Recently, I haven't seen her at night.

Then I'm leaving.

Are you going back to the hotel?

I'm going to look for Gu Yanzhen.

I'm telling you,

break things off with people like him. Do you hear me?

Silly girl.

Be careful.

I have to trouble you again, Ms. Huo.

It is only business.

It's no trouble at all.

This is the deposit.

Once it is done,

you'll get the rest.

You're so generous with just the deposit,

but I'm afraid I won't

be able to do the job you ask, Prince.

If you can't do this job,

then no one in Shunyuan can.

Prince, you flatter me.

Tell me about it.

Five days ago, I heard that

there would be goods

delivered from Uiju County.

Ms. Huo, I hope

you can get the goods for me.

What are these goods?

Who is shipping the goods?

Who is delivering the goods?

Porcelain.

Jade.

Coral.

Onyx.

Calligraphy and paintings.

They are all treasures we lost from the Old Summer Palace. [The Old Summer Palace was looted, burned by British troops (1860);treasures were auctioned to the world; many still unfound]

The one who is delivering the goods

is the chairman of the Japan Daiwa Association,

Takeda Syun.

Back then when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing,

he was one of the captains.

The person receiving the delivery is the chairman of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce,

Oda Xianrong.
