[ Unbeaten popularity - a song alluring the whole city ] (TN Qu Manting's family name means "song")

Miss Yuan!

- Miss Yuan! - Miss Yuan!

- So pretty! - Miss Yuan!

- You're really pretty, Miss Yuan! - Miss Yuan!

- Miss Yuan! - Miss Yuan!

- Look here! - This way!

Miss Yuan!

Look here, Miss Yuan!

- Miss Yuan! - Miss Yuan!

Look here, Miss Yuan!

Miss Yuan!

Little Tao,

my shoes are dirty.

Wipe them for me.

Miss Pingting,

your shoes aren't dirty.

I told you to clean them, do it.

What's this nonsense?

Yuan Pingting,

how mighty you are.

Not as mighty as you, big sister.

You even dared steal Dong Huiseng's daughter's fiance.

Dong Huiseng struck down.

Chief Duan couldn't take it.

From now on, in this circle,

I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet you again.

Did I tell you to get up?

You aren't done polishing.

Yuan Pingting,

why are you so resentful?

Resentful?

How could I be resentful?

As far as losers are concerned,

getting mad at them is a waste of time.

If I talk to you

it's just to make fun of you.

If you make fun of someone

you still need to watch who they are.

Young Master.

Who is this woman?

She's... from Baihua Pictures,

Miss Yuan Pingting,

sent to replace Miss Qu

to perform in Shunyuan.

Who agreed to let her come?

Well...

From now on,

I don't want to see this woman in Palimo again.

Yes.

Understood?

Understood.

Little Tao,

come with me.

I see Little Tao is quite smart,

find him something to do

with a generous salary.

All right.

What's with you?

Don't you know what it means to give a tooth for a tooth?

You let her bully you like that without uttering a sound?

What have you learned from me in so long?

How screwed.

You don't take after me at all.

What could I do?

She's boss.

I still depend on her for my wages.

Besides, Miss Manting,

Miss Pingting's bad temper

compared with the trouble you stir

is just a breeze.

I'll beat you to death!

What's to laugh?

Nothing.

How are you?

How could I have any problem?

People's affections are fickle;

fortune has highs and downs.

That's how this circle works.

I mean,

Uncle Qu didn't punish you?

This last couple of days I haven't seen Director Guo.

What? He quit drinking?

How could Director Guo...

How could Director Guo quit drinking?

The sun will sooner rise from the West.

He was here drunk a moment ago

and was quite sick.

I don't know if he saw someone or simply crazy drunk,

he ran out as fast as a hare.

And you didn't hold him back?

In such a chill weather, he's lucky if he doesn't freeze.

I... how would I catch him?

He ran away like a hare.

It does still work.

Really beautiful.

Yu, how about a dance, you and me?

I'll teach you.

I... I can't...

I'll teach you!

It's very simple.

Here.

Hand on my shoulder.

Then, I step forward and you step back.

I stepped on you?

It's nothing.

I really can't.

Did I hurt you?

It's nothing.

At the beginning everyone is like this.

I really can't,

really can't do it.

Dance a little more.

I really can't.

Here, I'll give you a demonstration.

Good, right?

Yeah.

Our new wine. No bad, is it?

Not bad at all.

[For your travels please choose SANHE CARS Fashionable ladies - noble enjoyment]

Wherever I hide, you can always find me.

You know?

I just saw Pei Nianqing.

I really saw her.

Sit back straight, quick.

Be good.

Be good.

Come on.

Are you sure, you won't stay at my home a few days?

No.

I'd best go straight back to the academy.

After two weeks in hospital,

I fell back on a lot of classes.

Besides, didn't Shen Junshan

skip going home to rest, too?

I can't get special treatment.

- I'm here! - Fine.

The hard laborer's here.

All packed?

It's all here.

Let's go.

Shen Junshan said he'd come pick you up from the hospital, didn't he?

No need for him to pick him up.

Let's go by ourselves.

He already said it.

If you leave,

instead, you're calling him to be stood up.

Let's just go!

You really don't have to wait for him?

No need.

You sure?

We still have little Song, don't we?

All right.

Miss Xianrong?

Junshan's hand is injured.

He can't drive,

he sent me to pick you all up.

Get in.

All right. All right.

Liangchen.

Miss Xianrong, you can also drive.

You're really awesome.

Mr Xie, is your wound healed?

More or less healed.

Mr Xie, you and Miss Tan share a beautiful feeling.

I see this time

it was Miss Tan who took care of you all along.

We are good friends.

I heard from Junshan that you, Mr Xie, also have a sister

and she's studying in Shunyuan, too.

Yes.

What's her name?

Xie Xiang.

Which school is she in?

Miss Xianrong, how did you suddenly become so interested in me?

According to what you said,

may I also understand it as to mean

that Miss Xianrong has taken a fancy for me?

On this I have to give you a clear explanation.

I only have a particular interest in all the friends surrounding Junshan.

Nothing more.

Then it's just too bad.

What's it mean?

Buy grapes! Come have a look!

Hey, have some grapes.

Fresh grapes!

Are you all right?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Nurse,

where's the patient of that room?

He was just discharged.

Look at you, so jealous.

I don't like her.

Why?

I just feel she's odd.

I also feel that Miss Xianrong is odd.

Do tell, how is she odd?

Does she like Shen Junshan?

You-you're so smart.

You-you've managed to see that!

Liangchen, you're back.

Impressive.

Ji Jin, lend me your bike a while.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Liangchen?

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Miss,

Prince Rong's household has already started sending out invitations.

What kind of people have they invited?

More or less just these ones.

Not many people.

The Chamber of Commerce of Shunyuan received an invitation, too.

Good boy.

There's an improvement.

I'm at risk of falling for your tricks.

These are not "tricks",

it's skills.

"Skills", even.

Since you were little, you were never in my league.

Can you not bring up stuff from before I was 10?

Anyway, you've lost to me again.

I was injured.

This arm can't put in the strength!

When I asked you to play before, you found all sorts of excuses.

You chose this time. What would you be thinking?

But...

I still beat you.

Right, in a couple of days

go to Prince Rong's Mansion in my place.

What for?

It's Her Highness, their Lady's birthday.

They sent me the invitation.

Why don't you go?

Their young prince has too much going on in his mind.

I've been watching with detachment this couple of years,

it seems he's in the restoration party.

In the past I've come in touch with him,

he wanted to pull me to his side,

but I turned him down.

Prince Rong in Feng'an

has deep ties with the government and army.

Their reach in the troops is even more gnarled and intricate.

We would be unwise to offend them.

But under the current situation,

we shouldn't get too close to them either.

If you go in my place

it's a gesture.

Fine.

Come, another round?

If you are good, wait two days and we'll spar again.

You're bullying a wounded man,

what kind of skill is that?

Where are you going?

Back to the Academy.

Were you blinded?

I've only been gone for a few days and my bed got snatched?

I'm talking to you.

Xie Liangchen!

Xie Xiang!

Keep pretending.

Are you crazy?

I'll ask you a serious question.

Shoot.

You have to answer me honestly.

You want to ask or not?

Have you hooked up with Shen Junshan?

I don't feel like dealing with you.

Tacitly admitting!

Cut the crap.

You made such a mess.

Clean it up now.

You're next to me

and you can still be attracted to other men?

I'm injured!

How is he better than me?

Is he as handsome as me?

Is he as bright?

Is he as lively?

Is his family as rich as mine?

He's always got a long face

as if he were a superstar.

Is there something wrong with your eyes?

Are you blind? Are you?

Are you done?

I'm not.

I'm telling you, Xie Liangchen,

I've put up with you for a long time.

If you make sweet eyes at him again,

I will...

Junshan.

You need anything?

I need to talk to you.

All right.

You can't go.

I said you can't go.

He's not going!

Stop!

Don't leave...

What did you need from me?

It's about Lingdang.

It's not all right that she always stays at your friend's house.

I found an orphanage.

This afternoon you and I can go take her there.

An orphanage?

It's a very legitimate orphanage.

The director is an old acquaintance of our family.

There's also rather good treatment and medical facilities.

Lingdang, staying there,

can get even better care and treatment.

If you think it's good, I trust you.

I'm just afraid that she's solitary

and the other children will bully her.

Don't worry.

I spoke with people.

You can go visit her very often, too.

All right.

Then this afternoon

let's go get her together at Xiaojun's house.

All right.

A moment ago

Gu Yanzhen said...

He was spouting nonsense.

He's just like a child,

blabbing his mouth,

you don't have to mind him.

How's your wound?

It's fine now.

Good.

You still need to be careful.

For a few days don't let it get wet.

Lingdang,

from now on you'll be staying here.

You have to obey the director

and be friendly with the other kids.

We'll come visit you very often.

Director,

please take care of her.

It's my duty.

Then I'll take her inside.

Come, Lingdang.

In truth, the way Lingdang is, is quite good:

living in her own world,

no joy, no sadness,

no ties, no cares.

She won't suffer for the loss of her family,

neither will she be sad for leaving her home.

Maybe in her heart she knows everything,

only...

she can't express it.

If that's the case,

it's too cruel.

I'd rather she didn't know anything.

Junshan.

Xianrong?

I came to see you.

They said you had gone out,

so I've been waiting for you here.

What happened?

You two talk.

I'll go back to the dorm.

What is it?

Junshan,

do you know anyone in the Rong Household?

I don't.

What is it?

Our family's business

lately needs to get in touch with Prince Rong's House.

I just want to inquire a bit, what kind of people they are,

what they like, what they don't like...

Readiness is all.

My brother knows them.

I'll ask him for you.

In a few days it's Prince Rong House's Lady's birthday.

She even invited us.

Really?

Are you going, too?

Are you?

Our family business is small.

We are not yet in the position to attend such events.

Once I've asked I'll tell you.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Why are you smiling?

Your girlfriend left?

Who told you she's my girlfriend?

Isn't she?

No.

We used to be classmates.

Xianrong has a strong personality,

she's very independent

and good to her friends.

I see.

I think she quite likes you.

You don't like her?

I do.

The same way as I like you,

we're all friends.

Right. Junshan,

what does Miss Xianrong's family do?

I'm not sure.

They seem to be in the lumber business.

Let's go.

Get inside.

You wear shoes in bed again.

If Instructor Lü sees you, he'll punish you with running laps again.

I don't need your care.

You're quite absorbed.

The book is upside down.

Reading it straight up is no fun.

This way, I can recite it backwards. (TN idiom "recite backwards" = "know by heart")

How pretentious.

You're reading?

I saw you as soon as I entered the academy gate,

hanging by the railing just like a monkey.

Who are you calling a monkey?

You went on a date with a man in broad daylight,

you're not embarrassed?

If you're so great speak a little louder,

let everyone on the floor know about it.

You think I wouldn't dare?

You're so bold,

shout out.

You're just frivolous.

Just frivolous.

I share a room with you.

What else should I be afraid of?

Is it the same with me?

What difference is there?

If you do this again, I...

I... I'll report you to Lü Zhongxin.

Do as you please.

Don't think I really like you.

This boss, here, changes two girlfriends a month.

What kind of woman hasn't Gu Yanzhen seen, already?

I was messing with you for fun.

Ya believe, I'll find a trainload of women,

each of them prettier than you,

better shaped than you by 100 times,

nicer to look at than you.

I'm leaving.

Cut the crap.

Hurry up.

If you're late, your train will be snatched away.

♪ Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient route ♪ ("Farewell song", adaptation of "Dreaming of Home and Mother" by Hong Yi)

♪ fragrant green grass joins the sky, ♪ - Barman!

Barman!

Please enjoy.

Young Master Gu,

how can I help you?

Tell her to stop.

Sing another song.

Young Master Ye, what would you like to hear?

A song...

"When men are hurt they'll cry, too".

"When men are hurt they'll cry, too"?

I've never heard of this song.

It's such a famous song and you've never heard of it?

Then sing another one.

"When will you...

finally understand my feelings?".

I've never heard of this one, either.

And she won't be able to sing it.

How come she can't sing anything?

Then why did she come out?

Qu Manting can sing anything.

Young Master Gu, Qu Manting is a superstar.

Our singer here

will sing a month for 10 coins.

I'll give you one more chance.

Sing me another song.

"The person who loves me, I don't love her;

"the person I love doesn't love me;

"the person who longs for me, I don't miss her;

- "the person I long for— - Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu,

are those even songs?

Here we usually sing "Farewell Song",

"Remembrance of Childhood" and the likes.

The ones you're talking about, we really don't know.

It's a small place, of course you've never heard of them.

Bear with us,

please bear with us.

The boss here will sing a song for you.

- Young Master Gu... - Sing for you for free.

Easy, easy.

Young Master Gu, take it easy.

Slowly.

Easy, easy, Young Master Gu.

Take it easy.

Slowly, Young Master Gu.

Easy.

Who is this?

What you looking at?

I'll sing a song for everyone!

The look in your eyes Mr. Gu.

Go away.

Who is this?

♪ The look in your eyes ♪

♪ Crystal clear like the moon ♪

♪ Yearnings deepen... ♪ - Young Master Gu, young Master Gu,

are you in a bad mood?

How about this?

I'll have a drink with you.

We can have a chat.

All right?

Put this down. Put this down.

Come here. Come on.

Don't drop it on your foot.

- Young Master Gu, take it easy. - Young Master Gu,

- easy. - Take it easy.

Easy, easy, easy.

Come here.

Easy.

What are you looking at?

What do you mean?

It's nothing, it's nothing. Go on drinking.

It's all right.

It's nothing. Keep drinking.

Everyone, keep drinking.

What's with that guy?

Easy.

Is he drunk?

This way, please.

I think so.

You go.

Young Master Gu,

what is it with you?

I'm crossed in love.

You're crossed in love?

But... Young Master Gu,

even you can be crossed in love?

Right,

Even a man like me can be crossed in love.

It is quite hard to imagine.

I can't believe it myself.

Why?

Her taste is poor.

Doesn't like my type.

But...

Young Master Gu,

considering your circumstances,

she still doesn't like you?

Then what kind does she like?

Playing cool,

taciturn,

Shen Junshan's level

of ugly face.

That's a little tough

Playing cool... you can put an effort

an still manage it.

Young Master Gu,

the ugly face...

that's too much for you, Young Master.

No matter how your wreck yourself,

you can never get ugly.

You have a good eye.

Young Master Gu, the wine's gone.

Some more?

Bring it.

The most expensive?

Wait a moment.

Here.

Actually, with your situation,

what kind of woman can't you find?

Why do you have waste yourself

on that woman with poor taste?

Isn't that right?

The problem is I've already fallen in love with her.

This way, Young Master Gu:

you...

sacrifice yourself a bit:

follow the direction she likes

and put up an act.

Maybe she'll have a change of heart.

Put up an act?

Put up an act.

Yanzhen?

What are you doing sitting there?

Let's go eat together.

No need.

I like to be alone,

a little solitude.

Step aside.

Step aside.

Step aside.

Step aside.

Yes, that's the feeling.

Step aside.

I'm sticking to the hem, boss.

Step where?

This much space is not enough to let you through?

Step aside.

Is Shen Junshan possessing you?

Let's go.

Cool!

What's with him?

The devil knows it!

Let's go eat.

Liangchen,

what's with him now?

Who knows?

He's crazy as usual.

Does anyone know

what "protective fall" means?

Gu Yanzhen.

Here!

You answer the question.

Did... I raise my hand?

If you don't know it, why did you raise your hand?

Sit down!

The same as him.

Fine.

Quantity can't be any less.

What are you doing?

I'm eating!

Can't I?

Liangchen! Liangchen!

Isn't Gu Yanzhen allergic to tomatoes?

Is he healed from that?

Who knows what's gotten into him.

Aren't you a pain?

I'm eating.

I like sitting here, can't I?

He's been weird these few days.

When is he not weird?

You guys eat first, I'll go check on him.

Liangchen,

when you were in the hospital,

did your sister come visit you?

She did.

You just happened not to see her.

Did she?

What a pity!

What pity?

Nothing, nothing.

What I mean is... I only saw your sister once.

Anyway, it's just...

it's just... it's just...

What on earth do you want to say?

I...

I...

Nothing.

Forget it.

Nothing.

I say you're weird, too.

Gu Yanzhen,

you...

What happened to your face?

What happened with what?

Just...

To... to... tomatoes!

It seems he's still allergic.

Serves him right.

Gu Yanzhen,

are you better now?

What's up?

I'm talking to you! Did you...

What are you laughing for?

The doctor said I can be all right by tomorrow.

Laugh...

Laugh my foot.

It's just... I say, Young Master,

can we not mess around again?

Who's messing around?

Who do you think?

Take a look in the mirror and see who it is.

Isn't this all because of you?

What does this have to do with me?

Fine, fine, fine.

My fault, my fault.

I apologize to you.

Then, from now on, can we behave a little?

Can we not make trouble?

You apologized to me?

Yes.

My fault,

I did wrong by you.

Are you sincere?

I'm sincere.

Then from now on

you can't make sweet eyes at Shen Junshan!

Are you done?

See! You were not speaking from your heart at all!

Am I right?

Boss, he thinks I'm a man.

What could he do to me?

You can't you like him in your mind, either.

I...

I pay too much attention to you!

I'm hungry.

If you're hungry, go get food for yourself.

Why are you telling me?

How can I go out like this?

Didn't you have dinner?

I threw up.

What are you doing?

I'm waiting upon you, Great Young Master!

Going to get some food for you.

Pork rib noodles, soy sauce fried noodles, beef noodles.

Quick!

Not even pimples can obstruct my beauty.

About Prince Rong's Household

how are preparations coming along?

Everything according to your orders, Miss.

It's all in order.

You don't need to join this mission.

Stay outside

stop Shen Junshan from getting into Prince Rong's Mansion.

Is that clear?

It's clear.

No matter what,

you must not let Shen Junshan

see me in Prince Rong's House.

Yes.
