=The Sword and the Brocade=

=Episode 14=

(Rear Law Court)

My Lord.

You can set your mind
at rest now, My Lord.

(Official Document)

I hope that after this experience,

Zhun can become stronger

and get rid of his weakness of the past.

As far as I am concerned,

being your son

is the hardest work in this world.

Your words are not exactly right.

What is wrong with my words?

Putting it exactly, being my son is the
second hardest work in the world.

Then what is the number one hardest?

To work as my Deputy General.

My Lord, I was wrong.

(Official Document)

How are you doing
with the investigation?

I have completed it.

It was Mrs Liu of the Xishan Villa

who has put the dog in the box

when the cargo was carried
to the warehouse.

Then she gave it to Concubine Qiao.

(Official Document)

Zhun fell ill when Mrs Liu

brought a dog to our mansion.

And then Mrs Liu was sent away.

What a coincidence!

My Lord, you are thinking that

since the dog that
caused Zhun to fall ill

was given to Concubine Qiao by Mrs Liu,

so Zhun didn't fall ill by accident.

We can't jump to a conclusion
about this now.

Whether this dog

was presented by Mrs Liu or not,

there is no proof that Lianfang knew

it was carrying exopathogen

and would do harm to Zhun.

So Mrs Liu

is the important witness in this case.

But now her whereabouts is unknown.

My Lord, don't worry.

Wherever she is hiding now,

I will find her and bring her back.

My Lord,

as Zhun's recovery from illness,

you should thank one person decently.

If Her Ladyship hadn't been
scrupulous enough

to find the source of illness,

Zhun's life might be in real danger.

♪There is a rooster♪

♪It can fly♪

♪It has been bought
with three copper coins♪

♪It has been brought here from Sichuan♪

♪Its feathers are in all colors♪

Now Zhun is out of danger.

You can feel relieved now,
Your Ladyship.

You have been tiring yourself
during this period of time.

Now you must have a good rest.

However,

the Great Madam is partial
to Concubine Qiao.

Your Ladyship,
how do you like my massage?

You are applying the right strength.

It makes me feel very comfortable.

Even if Concubine Qiao
didn't harbor evil intentions

in the case of the dog,

how could she prove her innocence

in the case of you being kidnapped later?

Now Mrs Liu and the two guards

vanished into thin air.

I don't believe that she was
not involved in this.

Think about it.

If people found that

my chastity was defiled

after I was kidnapped

and then Zhun died of the tinea,

what result, do you think
there would be?

The result would be that His Lordship

would lose both his legal wife
and his legitimate son.

Given the Great Madam's partiality
for Concubine Qiao,

it is very possible that

she would be made legal wife
of His Lordship.

In this sense,

Concubine Qiao has plotted

this series of evil doings.

She is so evil and cold-hearted.

If she continues to be in charge
of the family affairs,

I am afraid Her Ladyship and Zhun

would fall into danger again.

It is a pity that

we don't have conclusive evidence.

Why is the evidence necessary?

In the whole Xu Family,

except Concubine Qiao,

who else has a mind

to harm Zhun and Her Ladyship?

The tree desires stillness,
but the wind will not cease.

Based on the current situation,

I can't stay forbearing any more.

Well, what is your plan, Your Ladyship?

First of all, I can't allow her

to continue taking care of Zhun.

You want Shiyi to take care of Zhun

in the coming days?

I am not objecting to your proposal.

My worry is just that

Shiyi is still young

and she has no experience
of raising children,

so in some matters,

she might not be well-advised.

This time Zhun recovered his health

thanks to Shiyi.

Besides, she has her way

to make Zhun obey her.

So she is the most suitable person

to take care of Zhun.

Though she rendered great service
in Zhun's recovery,

Lianfang and the others also

helped a lot.

She helped a lot?

I am thankful that
she didn't do a disservice.

Great Madam,

I also think

His Lordship's words make sense.

After all, Zhun is Her Ladyship's son

in name.

Mother.

Shiyi is the legal wife
of His Lordship

and the sister of Zhun's biological
mother Yuanniang.

Though she didn't give birth to Zhun,

they are bound by blood.

It is justifiable for her

to bring up Zhun.

Great Madam can't bear to see

Zhun grow without a mother, right?

Since you all said so,

let it be so.

However,

Zhun must continue to live in my place.

Of course.

You love Zhun so dearly, Mother.

It is his blessing.

Why did His Lordship suggest

Her Ladyship

take over Zhun?

If Her Ladyship

and the legitimate son become closer,

your interests will be
greatly jeopardized,

madam.

We'd better

figure out other ways to deal with it.

Madam?

Let's drop this topic.

I am more worried

about another matter.

What is it?

I don't know whether I got it wrong.

But I have got a feeling that

His Lordship has changed
his opinion of Her Ladyship.

It seems that he has
started to trust her.

That's because she
has taken advantage of

Zhun's illness

and gone to all lengths

to impress His Lordship.

But she has successfully

made His Lordship look
at her with new eyes.

I tried so hard.

I have been trying so hard,

but failed

while she won

hands down.

Tell me.

Have I helped her

unknowingly?

You are so skillful
with your hands, Your Ladyship.

Everything made by you is beautiful.

Your Ladyship, Zhaoying is here.

Your Ladyship,

His Lordship ordered me
to bring you this.

He said that

this was a reward for your hard work
over this period of time.

What is it?

It is the brocade-feather fan.

Brocade-feather fan?

This brocade-feather fan is made of

lustrous and resilient feathers.

The more unusual thing is that

the feathers look gorgeous and bright

and possess a natural charm.

I guess it must be very valuable.

Your Ladyship, you don't know that

it is made by His Lordship himself.

Thank His Lordship for
bestowing it on me.

What else?

Your Ladyship.

Such a classy brocade-feather fan

is rare even in the imperial palace.

Your Ladyship, so don't you think...

Dongqing.

What? Isn't it enough?

Yes, it is enough.

Thank you for your reward.

If you don't need my service now,

please allow me
to take leave, Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

All servants of the Xu Family

want some rewards when
doing you a little service.

The monthly payment

we managed to save up

is not enough to cover
all these expenses.

You've got a point.

It seems that

we have to figure out a
way to deal with it.

Dongqing.

Don't even think of it! No way!

I have no private savings.

I want to ask you to put away the fan.

My Lord,

you look a bit perturbed.

My Lord, the brocade-feather
fan you gave Her Ladyship

boasts beautiful and bright colors

and is really precious.

When Her Ladyship receives it,

she must be very grateful.

I guess she might be heading here

together with Zhaoying.

I am not expecting

she will come to extend thanks
after receiving my gift.

-Zhaoying.
-My Lord.

Why are you back alone?

Her Ladyship has accepted
the brocade-feather fan

and she asked me to

extend her thanks to you.

What else?

That's all.

How could that be all?

What's more,

Her Ladyship rewarded me with silver.

It is enough to know she
has accepted the fan.

I hope that in the coming days,

she can take care of
Zhun more devotedly.

Linbo.

Would you like to patrol
the city tonight?

No, I'd rather not.

Seeing that you are so concerned about

the safety of the populace
of the capital city,

I think I must allow you to do that.

Otherwise, I will dampen
your enthusiasm for

serving His Majesty and
protecting the people.

That's not my actual thought.

Zhaoying,

prepare food and water for him.

-Yes, My Lord.
-Hurry.

Yes, My Lord.

My Lord! My Lord!

Zhaoying!

Zhaoying!

-Try again.
-Zhun.

You almost succeeded.

It is lucky that the Marquis

distinguished right from wrong
and handled things fairly,

as a result,

you didn't suffer wrong.

We outsiders

only know that he
is serious and majestic.

We never expected that

he also has a soft side.

Stop talking about me.

How have you been
doing recently, Wuniang?

Is everything going well in family?

Yes, everything is fine with my family.

The only problem is that

I am always so idle.

It is not a good thing.

I have to find something to do.

Now

I am planning to start a
business to make money.

Are you interested in
joining hands with me?

What is the business?

I want to open a dried fruit shop.

I have decided on the store.

It is located in the West Street.

A lot of people will pass by.

I think the location is good.

I have also found the source of goods.

It sounds good.

But it entails a lot of money, right?

Yes.

If we do it together,

we can each contribute 100 tael of
silver as capital.

I think that will be enough.

Let me work out the accounts for you.

The rental of the store will be

fifty tael of silver per year.

We can first stock our shop
with half of the goods.

All the assistants will
be our own people.

We only need to fill
their empty stomachs at first.

After a year,

we will be able to

earn 200 or 300 tael of silver at least.

I know that

now you are not

the past you anymore.

A profit of 200 or 300 tael of silver

is no longer attractive to you.

But, think about this.

If you can make this
extra amount of money,

you will be able to buy

some rouge and face powder.

Isn't that nice?

This is the first time for me

to hear this, Wuniang.

I am not sure about it now.

Could you please

grant me several days to think about it?

Then I will give you a reply.

OK. No problem.

But you'd better hurry.

The Spring Festival
is around the corner.

Every family will buy boxes
of dried fruit as gifts

to visit their relatives.

Have you heard of

what happened to Erniang?

Wang Yu got drunk a few days ago.

Then he fought with
others in the street.

Unexpectedly, he messed with someone
that cannot be trifled with.

The opponent kept causing our
sister's trouble for quite a few days.

These days,

Erniang has been

harassed by this matter greatly.

She likes to prevail over others.

She is not willing to
have dealings with us.

When she is in difficulty,

she won't tell us naturally.

That's because she doesn't
want you to belittle her.

She treated you so badly in the past.

But for me,

she is still a sister to us

though she had been acting
arbitrarily and imperiously

before we all got married.

When I heard that
her life is not going well.

I feel sad for her

from the bottom of my heart.

I will say nothing more.

The more I say,
the more worried I will be.

It is late now.

It's time for me to go back.

If not, my husband

will worry about me.

Please think carefully about

the matter I talked with you.

I got it, Wuniang.

Take care on your way back, sister.

Your Ladyship.

Your monthly payment

are only 20 tael of silver.

How could you manage to pool 100 tael?

Lady Wuniang thinks that

you are really living a
wealthy life now.

Money is not the most important thing.

It is true that Wuniang came to me

because she is short of money.

But more importantly,

she wants to take advantage
of the Xu Family's reputation.

I'd better handle this matter prudently.

(Duke Mao's Mansion)

Yu'er really went too far.

How could he hit you in the face?

Your face is so pretty.

Don't blame him.

It is my fault.

Since his childhood,

I have been meeting all his needs

and pampering him.

But I know

he has a kind heart.

If he hadn't got drunk,

he would not have done
such a rude thing.

These are all my dowries.

This headdress

is made of the coral from the South Sea.

It is very precious.

This dangling head ornament

was bestowed on me by Her Majesty.

I value them a lot all along.

Now I want you to have them.

It is normal for a couple

to fight sometimes in a married life.

You need to be obedient to him

and say nice words to him.

I think if you do it,

he won't cause you so much trouble.

Now the most important thing
for you to do

is to bear our Wang Family
some offsprings.

As long as you can bear
him some children,

I will reward you handsomely.

Children?

I got it, Mother.

I am glad that you understand.

If you can bear him some children,

I think Yu'er

will quit

his monkey business.

Have a good rest to recuperate.

I am leaving.

How can such things compensate me?

I am not that cheap.

Children.

Who wants to bear him children?

Young Madam.

Nobody respects me as a human.

It is the Luo Family's fault.

It is Luo Shiyi's fault.

She pushed me into
the abyss of suffering.

Should it be put here, Mrs Zhou?

It is not good. It's not good.

Carry it here.

Dongqing.

Dongqing.

What business has brought you here?

Is there any order from Her Ladyship?

Mrs Zhou, here is the thing.

Several days ago,

when Her Ladyship
went to the Xishan Villa,

she found some old fabrics

in the warehouse there.

She thought that those fabrics

would go to waste lying there.

It would be better

to donate them to the poor people.

It will be a good deed.

Her Ladyship is so kind.

But all the unused
fabrics in the mansion

are stored in the villa.

Is it proper to give them

to the poor people

without any gain?

Mrs Zhou, do you remember

whose abodes have these fabrics

been sent to?

If we obtain the relevant information,

we can avoid

such fabrics

when making donations.

Please don't be hard on me.

It has been a long time.

How could I remember clearly?

Nevertheless,

records were created back then

about the storage of these fabrics.

If Her Ladyship wants to know,

she can go refer to the records.

Your Ladyship,

both the account book and the key

are in the hands of Concubine Qiao.

Only she can check the records.

Well, I am sure

Concubine Qiao won't show
us the records.

So we have to figure out another way.

Your Ladyship, but you

should take charge of

the household affairs of the
Xu Family in the first place.

Now she is in charge and our hands
are tied in everything.

It really makes me feel bad.

(Mansion of Xu)

Sister-in-law, I invited you
to my place today

to ask for a favor from you.

What can I do for you?

If there is anything
I can help you with,

don't hesitate to let me know.

Wuniang told me that

she wanted me to contribute some capital

to her dried fruit business.

It is an excellent idea.

But it came to my mind that

doing business would involve
money inevitably.

If something goes wrong,

the Marquis might be affected negatively.

On the other side, she is my sister.

If I don't help her and
cause her to hate me,

it will also be a great loss.

If I refuse her directly,

I am afraid that
she will feel humiliated.

So I want you

to mediate between us in this matter.

We have the same idea.

Wuniang also invited me.

It is a small business.

With so many persons involved,

there may be arguments in the future.

Well,

if she really wants to

start a dried fruit shop,

each of us might as well

invest fifty tael of silver.

Lending or giving,

we are doing her a favor.

That is a really good idea!

It's a deal.

I have some things I need to do today.

I'll be on my way.

Take care.

We are spending

our savings.

Money goes in one hand
and out the other.

We can always be frugal.

After all, we will get
payment next month.

Wuniang has been nice to me.

I should help her

when I can.

Look at that!

(Virtue of Modesty and Patience)
Your Ladyship.

(Virtue of Modesty and Patience)

It's so beautiful.

Zhun is coming.

Your Ladyship,

Zhun has been asking

to pay morning visit to Your Ladyship.

Good boy.

The weather is getting hot.

But your hands are still cold.

Come, let's go shuttlecock kicking.

I'm a boy.

I don't play this kind of game.

Well, perhaps you refuse
to play the game

only because you are not good at it.

What?

I'm so good at this game.

I don't buy it.

Would you mind competing with

Dongqing and Amber?

No problem.

I am not scared.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I won! I won!

Like I said, you are no match for me.

Amber,

it's your turn.

Zhun, please let me off.

I really don't know how
to kick the shuttlecock.

No way. I won't let you go

unless you play against me.

-Zhun.
-Just play with me.

Play with me.

Just for a while, please.

Zhun, I am really bad at this.

Just for a little while, okay?

Zhun.

Yu!

Come and join Zhun.

I'll get him here.

Dongqing will play with you, okay?

Come.

I just want you to play with me.

I'll try.

See?

You lost.

It seems you are having fun.

My Lord,

Zhun is having a shuttlecock match.

Dongqing and Amber

are no match for Zhun.

Only girls play shuttlecock.

Zhun should stay away from this game.

My Lord,

I beg to differ.

Shuttlecock kicking

has been popular among kids
since Sui and Tang dynasties.

Zhun is born weak.

And practicing horse stance

is too boring for him.

It's a good thing that

he finds kicking shuttlecock interesting

and is willing to

exercise and build himself up.

This shuttlecock is light

and delicate.

Did you ask someone

to buy it?

My Lord, this shuttlecock

is invaluable.

It is made by Her Ladyship.

I can tell

that you spent a lot of time on it.

Thank you

for caring so much for Zhun.

I'll leave the capital on business

in a few days.

Knowing that Zhun

has been taken good care of by you

is a great comfort to me.

Nanny Tao,

take Zhun away.

Yes.

Zhun, let's get inside.

My Lord, is there anything wrong?

After several days of heavy rain,

there is raging flood water.

Many villages of surrounding counties

have been submerged.

People affected have lost their homes.

They begged all the way

to the capital.

The Ministry of Revenue
shall take care of the refugees.

Money is tight.

I will be held to account

if refugees become bandits

due to inefficient aid.

The weather is getting hot.

My Lord, you need
light clothes and water.

I've got it ready.

My Lord, what are you looking at?

I've never once seen you

using that brocade-feather fan
that I gave to you.

That fan is delicate

and rare.

It is a shame

to use it during normal days.

It is not a shame if you
make the most of it.

It seems

you are not being polite enough.

You did not even thank me

for giving you a gift.

Sub by WeTV & Ripped by skysoultan
♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Well,

I really don't know

how to thank His Lordship

for giving me such a precious gift.

His Lordship will leave the capital.

It's a long way away.

He will be trekking up hills
and crossing waters.

Your Ladyship,

you might make a pair of shoes

for His Lordship.

That sounds nice.

The Yellow River flooded.

The city is full of refugees.

Lingyi plans to

cooperate with high-ranking
officials in the capital

to set up soup kitchens

to provide the refugees in the capital

with porridge.

They are doing something good.

Hid Lordship is benevolent.

It is supreme goodness

to tide people affected over.

You've been running
the household affairs

for a while.

You are very considerate and reliable.

I want to trust you

with the disaster relief.

Great Madam...

Lingyi keeps people in his heart.

He will appreciate you

handling the issue well.

Great Madam, thank you for trusting me.

I will handle the whole thing

appropriately.

I will never bring shame
to the Xu Family,

to Great Madam and His Lordship.

Sure.

My Lord.

It's so late. What brings you here?

My Lord, you will be
travelling a long way.

I made this pair of shoes for you,

in case you need it.

I've heard that you're a
marvelous embroiderer.

Well, it seems there is nothing special

about your embroidery.

The stitches are not well aligned.

The bottoms are too thick.

Well, should I take it back

and rework it?

I don't think so.

The shoes are not elaborate.

But they look nice.

That doesn't work.

I should make adjustments to it.

I don't want you to wear
uncomfortable shoes.

It is a gift from you.

I will accept it anyway.

I'll try them on.

New shoes are tight.

Let me help you.

There you go.

Okay.

Do the shoes fit, My Lord?

Perfect.

Zhaoying.

At your service, My Lord.

Where are my shoes?

They are right under your feet.

I mean that pair of shoes.

Which pair?

The pair made by Shiyi.

Which pair

made by Her Ladyship?

Alright, My Lord.

I might as well change
another pair of shoes.

What's wrong with the new one?

My Lord,

why do you need to change shoes?

You talk too much.

Wrap it up.

It turns out that you

don't want to get new shoes dirty.

Scouts in the Western Region are rare.

(Account Book)

How did it go?

Madam, the soup kitchen has been built.

The service has begun.

I have never seen a line

that long.

The refugees say all the good things

about Xu Family.

Great Madam has trusted me

with this.

I am set to do it right.

I cannot afford to make any mistake.

This way,

we will be confident in front of Shiyi.

Madam, you are right.

Please rest assured

I will do the whole thing right.

Sure.

Qiuhong,

tell me,

which one looks better?

Well, in my opinion,

they both look nice.

I regret even to ask you the question.

You don't get it.

I think

this one looks better.

Madam, Young Madam Wen is here.

She is here?

What brings you here today?

You have no idea?

What happened?

Xu Family now purchases silk

from Zhang Family.

It's...

We've been

purchasing silk

from Wen Family

all these years.

What happened?

Are you aware

that Madam Zhang

has been close to Qiao Family?

You mean,

Concubine Qiao is behind this?

Now, merchants

who do business with Xu and Wen Families

start to doubt

if Wen Family has lost the
support of Xu Family.

Many of them start to do business

with Zhang Family.

It's a big loss to us.

It is really serious.

Your brother said

he might not be able

to pay you monthly dividend

if the problem remained unsolved.

Dear,

you need to figure out what to do.

Calm down.

I'll have to give the matter
a little thought.

It will take some time

to figure it out.

Dear,

a word of caution.

The Marquis got a new wife.

He might be too busy to
take care of you.

You will need to rely on Wen Family

if you want to live a safe life

with your son Yu.

I understand what you said.

But...

There is no but.

We are counting on you.

I should go.

We are still looking for a way

to get rid of the unsold inventory.

It turns out that Concubine Qiao

is a callous woman.

It seems

hard days lie ahead.

Perhaps you have no choice

but to ask Concubine Qiao for a favor.

The time has come

when I have to put my pride aside.

I've heard

about your charm and gracious living.

Today,

(Account Book)

I get to see it.

You are gracious, as a legitimate
daughter of a prestigious family.

As you know,

I come from a merchant family.

I didn't see much about the world.

If I ever said anything

that offended you,

I never meant it.

Please

forgive me.

It's no surprise that the daughter of
a merchant family is bad-mannered.

Surely, I will not

sink to your level.

This Jade Ruyi
[*means as you wish]

looks good

in your room.

This is made of Lantian jade.

It is hard

to find such a pure jade.

It simply looks perfect

for this room.

Rare as it is,

my family is not short of

invaluable jade articles.

You are welcome

to take it back.

You come from a wealthy family.

It's no surprise

that these things don't appeal to you.

But this Jade Ruyi

is a gift for you.

I'm not a jade connoisseur.

It would be a shame

for me to have it.

Please take it.

In that case,

I should

return the favor.

Xiuyuan,

take out the brocade

that I just received.

It's my gift to you.

The brocade

is so smooth and delicate.

You don't have to do that.

This is from the brocade shop

of Zhang Family.

They produce

top-level brocades,

with which those unestablished brands

can never compared.

Now I'm in charge of the
household affairs.

I cannot allow my family

to wear those vulgar and

ridiculous clothes.

Don't you think so?

That's right.

I'm tired.

Xiuyuan, send her out.

Madam, please.

Have a good rest.

I should be on my way.

In the past, I would never
have tolerated

her impoliteness.

Madam, calm down.

We are at the end

of our rope.

We are living under her roof.

We need to obey her rules.

Concubine Qiao

now holds dominion

over the business of Wen Family.

You should focus on the big picture.

By the way, your money

can last you the whole life.

As far as I'm concerned,

you're putting yourself

in a dilemma,

feeling miserable.

You might as well play dumb

and breeze through life.

In this world,

no one can breeze through life.

I wish I could.

I guess I'm not that lucky.

In the Xu Family,

wives and maids

respect me

only because of my money.

Without the support of Wen Family,

there is no flow of capital.

The money stays in the account.

We'll be depleting all the money.

It can sustain us only a few years.

With the support of Wen Family,

there is flow of capital.

Money will be making money.

It is our golden goose.

If I stay out of the business
of Wen Family,

if I don't rely on Wen Family,

can I

count on His Lordship?

His Lordship is not a callous man.

I don't see any reason

why you can't count on His Lordship.

We have been

estranged for a long time.

Madam...

As for the future,

I don't care much about myself.

But I have a son.

So,

no matter how difficult
the future may be,

I will carry on.

(Nature of Jade and Gold)

(Nature of Jade and Gold)
Broaden the minds.

Bring benefits to the people.

Carry forward the great
knowledge of the sages.

Bring peace to the world
for generations to come.

Yu, what are you reading?

You look so absorbed.

Mother,

I am reading the Hengqu
Sayings of Zhang Zai,

a great master of the
Northern Song dynasty.

Really?

Well, tell me

what these sayings are about?

They are about the truths of study.

That we are expected to
read books of the sages

in order to build

a vibrant society,

show the way for the people,

carry forward the knowledge
of saints like Confucius and Mencius,

and lay the foundation of
sustainable peace

for generations to come.

Well,

it sounds a load of hocus-pocus.

That's absurd.

Why make it sound so deep?

Mother, you can understand the meaning?

Of course I can.

It says

that you should study hard,

make a name through the examinations

and become successful.

Then, we can live a safe life

even after we leave Xu Family.

Master Zhang

didn't mean that at all...

(Le or Yue)
[*fourth tone, means music or happiness]

It will be a great relief to me

if you get scholarly honor
and official rank.

Concubine Qiao is

very pretentious.

She would love to put up a front

with calligraphy and paintings.

I know what to do.

Mother, what are you saying?

What calligraphy and painting?

(Mansion of Xu)
The devastation is sweeping.

The thought of

poor refugees

keeps me awake at night.

It would be nice

if I could visit Ci'an Temple

with Great Madam and Second Madam.

I heard that you've been
serving porridge

at the soup kitchen these days.

You've done a lot.

I'm sure the refugees could feel

your benevolence.

The soup kitchen is
currently our top priority.

Therefore,

you must do it right.

That is what is expected of you.

Do remember one thing:

you should be very careful.

Great Madam, you may rest assured

that I will do as you say.

Bear that in mind.

Let's go.
