I want to ask the distant moon

Is that person you?

I dance among the flowers and you accompany with me

Is that person you? The moon doesn’t tell me

Two shadows. A line of love poem.

You protect me from the strong wind

Give me a light in the dark. Give me an umbrella when it rains.

When I cry, you give me a hand

My tears fall on the palm of your hand

You protect me and watch the moon with me

The moon witnesses the time we stay together

Even if time has passed for a long time and we become old

Everything about you is sweet

[Ni Chang]

[Ep1]

Jump, prince.

Xiao Lu.

Prince.

Prince.

Prince.

Palace Bazaar begins.

Welcome Mr. comprador.

Thank you, your excellency.

Hurry...

Hurry...

Ok.

Hurry.

Look at this.

The top merchants will be the imperial merchants.

They will be the imperial provider of the cloths and daily necessities in season.

Even the national presents.

Look at this.

Great.

Great.

More than that.

Winners will bring glory on their ancestors.

Yeah, they will have a rich and carefree life.

Am I right?

Who are you? brat?

How dare you!

Me.

Xie Xiaoni of Xie's Silk and Cloth Shop.

My family will be one of the applicants.

Xie?

Excuse me.

Excuse me...

Who is she?

Excuse me...

We have seen all the cloth merchants in the city.

I want to know how many applicants we got so far.

Go again?

What are you doing?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Gosh, eyes on the road.

Miss, you're so rude.

I'm sorry.

Brother.

Brother.

Uncle Wang, where's my brother?

Lady, finally you are back.

Your brother should be in the workshop.

But the master is looking for you everywhere at noon.

Uncle Wang, Bye.

Lady...

Steward Liu, I have told them to keep it well, right?

Yes, young master.

But this year, the climate is so bizarre.

It's rainy these days, which is why the cloth is so moldy.

Remake it.

But we have no much time left.

I will deal with it appropriately.

They won't find it out.

Bring it here.

Ok.

Ridiculous.

So we should give them the shoddy stuff just because they won't know?

Over time, Xie's brand will be smashed.

Remake it.

I would rather lose money than sell the defective products.

Yes, young master.

Yes, young master.

Aunt Pan, where's my brother?

Lasy, young master is in the living room.

Living room.

Brother.

Brother.

Xie Xiaoni.

Brother.

Where did you go?

I go...

Brother, look at this.

I am asking you, where did you go?

I haven't seen you all day.

Dad is looking for you everywhere.

You are a girl.

You can't run around all day.

Brother, listen to me first

I saw this on the street just now.

Bloody daughter.

Dad.

Dad.

I have told you, you can't go out without elders' permission.

I am looking for you.

See.

The bureau is going to hold a brocade contest.

The winning merchants can become imperial merchants.

A brocade contest?

Does it have anything to do with you?

We can participate.

All the cloth merchants can participate in it.

I go from this street to the end of the street every day.

No store is better than ours.

If someone eavesdrops now,

people will think our family is so arrogant.

I'm telling the truth.

Dad.

Master.

Well.

Go.

Let's talk inside.

Go.

Dad.

The contest is a good news for us.

Once you win,

our Xie's shop will be totally different.

Ni'er.

You are a girl.

You can't go outside every day.

Our shop is not your concern.

I just want to share the burden for the family.

And brother is also a girl.

Why she can but I can't?

Shut up.

From now on, even at home

you are not allowed to mention it again.

I am the only son of Xie family.

But I have no son.

Such a big family business.

I can't leave the family business to a stranger, right?

From now on, if you still talk this, I will give you a severe punishment.

Dad.

I think the brocade contest is an opportunity for our family.

Su's cloth shop is similar to ours.

Whether it's the source, quality or design.

But with city bureau's support,

his revenue is much more than ours.

Now every one wants to make use of the brocade contest.

Dad, we are playing fair with others.

We have no reason to miss it.

Brother is right.

This is the truth.

Dad.

I can go to apply for it on your behalf.

In my opinion, we should just mind our own business.

I really don't want to join the fun.

But if you have this ambition,

you should try it for some experience.

Western Zhou envoys are coming to visit our country.

Now the emperor orders the bureau to hold the brocade contest.

To demonstrate our strong national strength.

The emperor will reward us if we can make it a success.

Lord Yuan, you are young and promising.

From comprador to deputy commander.

It's just a few years.

You managed it so well.

You made great contributions to the court.

Now you are entrusted to hold the contest.

We are at your service.

And we will do the best for the court.

We will do our best.

The emperor orders Luo Family to be the supervisor of brocade contest.

The winners will be the imperial suppliers.

They will provide the royal family with cloth, daily necessities

and national gifts.

As I know, prince Luo is very impartial, large or small.

As I know, prince Luo, Ouyang Ziyu, often bargains with the people.

And he quite enjoys it.

I think the emperor assigned him to supervise it just because of this.

If we let him choose, he will choose some low-end merchants.

It will discredit our bureau.

Yes.

Just an idle prince who travels outside.

He has no real power in the capital.

The emperor assigned prince Luo a task just on a whim.

We just need to cooperate with him.

Everyone.

That's all for today.

Make preparations after you go back.

Your grace.

Sister Xiaoqin.

If you keep looking this way,

you won't get married.

It has nothing to do with looking at the prince.

You will miss your marriage if you see prince Luo.

You don't know?

Nonsense.

We are maids.

It's very normal to admire and respect the prince.

You should respect me too.

Appreciate me.

I promise you won't delay your marriage because of me.

Go away.

I...

Prince.

Have some tea?

Prince.

I told you to go to Fang city.

Why are you back so soon?

Prince.

I'm your personal guard.

Every day I wander around on the street like an idler.

What a waste, right?

Personal guard?

Yes.

Waste?

Yes.

I told you to inquire about the price of silk.

And the price difference between south and the north of the city.

How's it?

In the south, silk is priced at 3.2 liang per catty.

In north, silk is priced at 3.3 liang per catty.

Why the price difference is 0.1?

Do you know now?

Prince.

I...

Did you hear what I just said?

You still don't know.

Go again.

I...

What's going on?

Come, let me see...

These dark spots still appear in the dye pond.

Even if you wipe them out, they will appear in an instant.

We tried every way possible.

But...

Add more dye.

Triple the dye.

No.

Master.

Dad.

The cost will be doubled.

This batch of cloth is for the brocade contest.

I think we don't need to care about the cost.

Even if it's for the contest,

cost is also one of the evaluation criteria.

Our country is prosperous now.

But we also advocate frugality.

If our cloth cost is high,

we will lose first.

How about dumping the dye to remake?

Stupid.

It will be more wasteful.

We should find other ways out.

Or clean it up with alum.

Great.

Don't worry too much.

It's just a brocade contest.

It's good to win

It doesn't matter if you can't win.

We just need to do our business well.

Yes.

Ok.

Keep working. Everyone.

Ok.

I think the alum is the best way I can think of.

But you can't add too much.

How about double?

Master.

Lady escaped out again.

I'll get her back.

Master.

Ni'er is still not back yet.

She said she was going to the workshop in the afternoon.

Why you didn't keep an eye on her?

Feng'er went out to find her with some men.

Have some patience.

I am messed up enough.

Searching is not enough.

Master.

You should find a way.

If something happens to Ni'er, I will...

Master, madam.

Hongrui.

How's it going?

Young master has been searching outside the city.

He told me to come back to tell you this.

Master.

It's so late.

Ni's still not back yet.

Will she be kidnapped?

By a gangster?

Don't worry.

Wait a while.

Xie Xiaoni.

Young master, lady.

How many times do I have to save you?

Brother, be gentle.

Dad, mom.

We're back.

Ni'er.

Ni'er.

Mom.

Ni'er.

Where did you go?

Do you know how anxious your mom is?

Dad.

I saw her right out of town.

She didn't go far.

She was walking around the city gate.

Say it.

Why did you go to the gate of the city?

Ni'er.

Tell us the truth.

Dad and mom are really worried about you.

Ok...

She is back.

Have a nice talk, don't scare her.

Ni'er.

Tell mom.

Where did you go?

Say it.

Say it.

So you won't tell us the truth without being spanked.

Steward Liu.

Bring me the ruler.

Yes.

No, husband.

Don't be angry.

She is back.

Can't we have a good talk?

Today I will teach you a lesson.

Master.

Master, you can't.

Go away.

No.

Dad.

Punish me not her.

I won't let you hurt her.

Dad.

It's my fault.

I didn't take good care of my sister.

Punish me.

I will get spanked for my sister.

You...

Go away.

Go away.

I did nothing wrong.

You just don't believe me.

Punish me now.

You...

Kill me.

Mom.

Ni'er. It's okay, mom is here.

Don't be afraid.

It's okay now.

Finally you are back.

Why did you go out of town?

You don't tell me?

Forget it.

Kids are naughty.

Brother.

Never mind me.

If you can't fix the dye, what will you do?

We have to drop out.

It's no big deal that we can't win.

It's a big deal if we ruin the reputation of our family.

Our family values reputation most.

We can't take any risk.

For businessmen,

reputation and faith are the foundation.

Well said.

Come...

Excuse me.

Master.

Take a look.

It's really gone.

Young master, you are so amazing.

Feng'er.

What method did you use?

Dad.

It's not my credit.

I don't know what's going on.

Dismiss.

Yes.

Everyone, dismiss.

Keep working.

Keep working.

Great.

Bring the rest of the cloth.

Ni'er.

Come here.

Help me.

Why do you run in again?

Ni'er.

Did you put something in the dyeing pond?

I...

Why your nails are black?

I...

I...

I was playing the mud.

Tell the truth.

I won't punish you.

From the books, I know the charcoal has a good adsorption capacity.

So I tried it.

So I...

So you threw charcoal into the pond?

You went outside the city for charcoal yesterday?

No shops in the city had it.

So I went to the charcoal kiln outside the city.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

Otherwise dad wouldn't be so angry.

I don't know if this method will work.

I am afraid dad reproaches me again.

By the way, dad.

after I go outside the city this time,

I find the villagers' water tanks and reservoirs full of dark spots.

I have inquired them.

It's probably because of the abnormal weather this year.

The rain has destroyed the water quality.

That's why the dark spots are formed.

Dad, we need to pay attention to it in the future.

You saved the dye.

But you did it without telling the family.

You are still inexcusable.

Do you admit a mistake?

I...

Admit a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Ok.

I won't punish you this time.

Dad.

Can I learn how to do business with my brother?

Learn to do business?

Dad.

Ni'er is smart.

She knows how to audit.

Right?

We should let her learn more.

Tell me why you want to learn to do business.

Because our Xie's Silk and Cloth Shop has high quality and low price.

I, as a descendant of the Xie family,

have the responsibility to carry forward Xie's Silk and Cloth Shop.

I want more people to use our Xie's fabric.

You are right.

But you are a kid.

You are too young for this.

I...

What's wrong with my young age?

I want to do business.

I will run the business well like my brother.

Fine.

You are naughty at home.

You should learn something from your brother.

Feng'er.

Teach your sister more.

Yes.

Thank you, dad.

Thank you, sister.

Daughter, come back.

It's my honor to see you, prince Luo.

It's ok. Master Yuan.

But I want to ask you a favor.

Flattered.

What seems to be the problem?

Please sit.

I have traveled abroad for many years.

I don't intervene in the capital's affairs.

Now the emperor told me to supervise the brocade contest.

I hope you don't mind if I make some mistakes.

Flattered.

We can work together for the court.

Yes.

As I know, you went around the market and alleys for a few days.

I want to listen to what you have learned if you don't mind.

Flattered.

You are in charge of the bureau.

You know this better than me.

I still need to ask for your help a lot.

I am flattered.

You have traveled for many years.

You must be knowledgeable.

You dwarfed me.

I have worked in the bureau for many years.

In the capital, few silk merchants can be the imperial suppliers.

I don't think so.

All the silk manufacturers are eligible for the contest.

Maybe we can find some impressive manufacturers.

Yes.

I don't know princeLuo, if you know Su family in the east.

Su family, the largest silk merchant in capital.

Exactly.

Su family has been doing business for generations.

And he cooperates with the bureau for many years.

He never made a mistake.

The winner this time is none other than Su family.

If Su family is awarded with the title of a tribute merchant,

Su Gongming, the second master of Su family, is very smart.

He knows what he should do.

If you choose Su family, it will save a lot of troubles.

I don't understand what you are talking about.

Why it's Su family?

You may not know.

We have been dealing with Su family for many years.

He knows our rules well.

It will save your troubles.

He will handle it well.

The emperor told me to supervise the brocade contest.

I will try my best.

I don't care whether it will save me troubles or not.

We are looking for suppliers among the silk manufacturers.

The fairnesss matters most.

We should let them compete.

I have seen around the city these days.

I think we will find many manufacturers with good quality and cheap price.

So we just need to let them compete fairly.

It's so great that we have an impartial and fair judge.

Maids.

Pour some wine.

I have prepared some wine.

Hope we can have a good drink.

Thank you.

Your Highness, please.

Your Highness.

Lady...

Let's go back now.

Hongrui.

This year, we have much more lanterns.

So many people here.

If master knows you are dressed like this,

I will be skinned.

Don't worry.

I secretly stuffed a pillow in the quilt.

Dad won't know it.

But you will be spotted by an acquaintance.

Stop nagging.

Otherwise we will be late for lantern riddle rewards.

What rewards?

Rewards for guessing out lantern riddles.

Wait for me at the redeem site.

I'll go to see you later.

Go. Don't follow me.

I'm sorry...

Lady.

A pockmarked face looks like a flower from a distance.

Sunflower.

Body, white and fat.

Often hiding in the mud.

Full of honeycombs.

It can be raw and cooked.

Lotus root.

Young master.

How can you take my lantern riddles?

The riddle is for everyone to guess.

Who said it's yours?

You can't guess it out.

You can?

I can.

It's...

I don't know.

I know.

But why should I tell you?

Say it if you know.

So simple.

It's a fan.

Fan?

It's your nonsense.

A deputy minister of finance.

Face like Guan Yunchang.

Taking office is like peach blossoms.

Resign is like the yellowing chrysanthemum.

Your overused fan will be yellow right?

So you have to discard it.

It means resign.

So it's fan.

Makes sense.

Idiot.

Easy as pie.

Fan, easy as pie.

You don't know, either.

Master, wait for me.

Sorry...

Girl, you stepped on my foot.

What do you want?

Come back.

Don't go.

You stepped on my foot, now I couldn't walk.

You need to make amends.

You can help me go home.

Or give me a few kisses.

Asshole.

Go.

Don't go.

Stop, don't go.

Stop.

Brat, stop.

Damn it, none of your business.

You can't bully her.

Out of my way.

I will teach you a lesson.

Go.

Brat, come back.

Brat.

It hurts.

You are a dog, why are you biting me?

Go away.

I kill you.

I'll kill you.

How dare you!

Young master Su.

Young master Chen, what are you doing?

I'm here to watch the lanterns.

He bites me for no good reason.

It's you.

You took my lantern riddles.

Now you are here to bully others.

I am not.

He sexually assaulted others first.

Nonsense.

I will kill you.

Kill you, big tortoise.

I will kill you.

Stop it.

I will kill you.

Asshole.

Young master.

Why are you hitting my young master?

Young master Su.

See, he even dares to slap you.

He is so lawless.

Look at my hand, you should uphold justice for me.

Young master.

Brother.

Where did you go?

I have waited for you for a long time.

If dad knows, he will punish you.

Good brother, don't be angry.

I know my brother is the best.

You will cover me up.

Right?

Useless.

Fortunately, dad and mom are not at home today.

Otherwise I will tell dad.

I do not believe it.

Lady knows young master's temper best.

She won't be fooled.

All your fault, you are running around with the lady all day long.

If the master punishes Ni'er,

you won't get away with it.

My brother is the best.

Sit first.

Don't be angry.

I know I am wrong this time.

You know you are wrong every time.

But you never change.

I will change this time.

That's the spirit.

Brother.

You should punish me.

Punish me to do the account checking.

No.

Not today.

Teach me how to make an inventory.

No need.

You just do not believe me.

Just look down on me.

I just want to share the burden for dad like you.

Ok.

Really?

Yes.

I also hope you can help me make Xie's brand bigger and stronger.

I know my brother is the best.

You know just now?

Then I have another request.

What's your request?

You promise me first.

You say it first.

You are going hunting tomorrow, right?

Take me with you.

Take you?

No way.

Dad said, you are a girl, you can't...

Again.

What's the matter with the girl?

Girls can also be the pillar of the family.

You can't look down on women.

You take me there, please.

Ok...

Tomorrow, I will take you for hunting.

Thank you, brother.

Mind the steps.

Be careful.

Come...

Prince, get in the carriage.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Where's the guy driving the horse?

Where is he?

Do you need a coachman?

Thank you for your kindness.

Guardian Lu, I'm here.

I'm coming.

Where have you been?

I have diarrhea.

So I'm late.

Go...

My stomach...

What the hell did you eat?

Go back yourself.

Thank you for your hosting.

I have to escort prince back now.

Ok.

Be careful.

Bye.

How's it?

Rest assured.

The carriage will be broken within the stagecoach.

After he breaks his leg or arm, I don't think he will supervise the contest.

Prince.

Prince.

What?

Fall off the cliff?

Your grace.

It's purely an accident.

I just wanted to break him a leg.

So he won't supervise the contest.

I didn't expect...

He would be so unlucky.

Bastard.

What if the emperor investigates it?

He is a prince after all.

Don't worry.

It's our secret.

They can't blame us without a good reason.

Right?

Did you find the corpse?

I sent them to patrol the mountain last night.

But so far we haven't found him.

But there are many wild wolves in that mountain.

Maybe...

Ni'er.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Strange.

I shot a rabbit just now.

I'll look for it over there.

Where are you going?

Looking for a rabbit.

Be careful, Ni'er.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Don't run too far.

Where is the rabbit?

Damn it.

Xie Feng.

Ni'er.

Ni'er.

Brother.

I shot someone.

I shoot the running rabbit.

It's not intentional.

I didn't kill him, right?

He's not dead.

He fell down from the mountain road.

Injured.

But he still has a pulse.

He is a man of kung fu.

Otherwise he would have died.

There is a village in front.

We should tell the villagers to report to the officials.

Let's go.

Go?

What about him?

Ni'er.

We should leave it to the government.

He will die if we don't save him now.

How can we save him?

Dad said, we can't invite us troubles outside.

After we tell the villagers to report it to the officials,

people will come to save him.

Let's go.

Brother, please.

Let's take him back.

After all, my arrow shot him too.

I can't ignore him.

No way.

We don't know how he is.

I don't care.

If I don't save him, I will be guilty for a lifetime.

Brother.

Please, let's take him back.

I beg you.

Okay.

Take him back.

If dad punishes you, I will cover you up.

Thank you brother.

Come.

Does it hurt much?

Fortunately, it's not a penetrating injury.
