"The Moon Will Remember" Singer: Guo Jing - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ I want to ask the distant moon if that is you ♫

♫ Wearing rainbow colored clothes, dancing under the falling flowers, and accompanying me through the years ♫

♫ Is that you? But the moon won't speak ♫

♫ The shadows in pairs is a line from a love poem ♫

♫ Protect my little light so it doesn't drift into the wind ♫

♫ There is light in the dark and a wide umbrella in the rain ♫

♫ When the rims of my eyes become red, you hold out your hands to me ♫

♫ My tears then blossom in your palms ♫

♫ Protecting my slight stubbornness and accompanying me to watch the moon ♫

♫ It will remember how we looked shoulder to shoulder ♫

♫ Even with the onslaught of time and hardships caught on the corners of our eyes ♫

♫ It's still all the sweetness you've given me ♫

[Ni Chang]

[Episode 7]

Have we met somewhere before?

I'm from Huaizhou. I have never been to the Capital.

I think Your Excellency must have mistaken me for someone else.

If that's the case, then I must have mistaken you for someone else.

His Excellency is living in my manor.

It'll be easier for you to seek his advice in the future.

Thank you for helping me, Sister Yun.

Governor Zhao, no worries. It's just lifting a finger.

Ni Chang, you can help Mr. Ouyang.

Don't delay the clothes making as well.

Please follow me.

Who is this young childe?

I don't know. I have never met him before.

Ni Chang, this Mr. Ouyang is introduced by Governor Zhao personally.

I think he is very influential socially.

He selected you. It means you are going to get good luck soon?

If you make him happy, maybe he will grant an award to you.

You can pay off the tuition for these years.

You don't owe any tuition but you volunteer your services. What's your purpose?

I...

I was afraid you girls are ignorant

and embarrass Yun Jin Insititute in front of the nonlocal businessman.

That's why I volunteered.

Really? But he didn't pick you.

He doesn't think you have a large stock of information, right?

Alright!

Ni Chang, come.

Ni Chang, do you know who is that Mr. Ouyang?

He is a big shot! He is...

Forget about it. My mother doesn't want me to say it.

You can never offend that person.

What will be,will be. What's the use of being afraid?

I don't believe he will eat me.

Your Excellency, I'm sorry.

Miss Ni Chang, why are you so afraid of me?

You misunderstood, Your Excellency . I'm not.

Why don't you dare to rise your head to look at me?

It is improper for men and women to touch each other's hand in passing objects. You Excellency is a honoured guest.

I'm afraid I will be too rude.

Miss Ni Chang, I came to Huaizhou this time.

I want know deeply about Huaizhou's textile industry.

If you are so submissive, actually you are hampering my business.

You are right. I'm wrong.

What would Your Excellency like to do today?

I want to check prices in the cloth market.

Would Your Excellency like to check the price for dealers or for civil use?

What is the price for dealers? What is the civil price?

The dealers stock shops with goods. They purchase in batches. This is price for dealers.

Common people buy with a retail price. That's civil price.

How much is the difference?

It depends Your Excellency. If you know the business, you can still get the dealer price even though you buy at retail.

If you don't know the business, you have to accept the civil price even you buy for business use.

I see you have a gift of the gab. You are talented at doing business.

Does Yun Jin Institute also teach you to do business?

Master only teaches us embroidery and weaving.

The rest, we have to learn by ourselves.

Would you like to do business

or open an institute like your Master?

Business and institute are both okay.

As long as I have a clear conscience, it's okay.

We

really haven't met before?

Your Excellency are honorable and travel a lot.

Your Excellency have met countless people.

Ni Chang is just an ordinary girl.

There are countless persons resembling me.

It's normal that Your Excellency feels familiar.

How do you know I'm honorable?

Your Excellency's behaviour is so decent.

Your temperament is free from vulgarity. How can you be compared with ordinary people?

This is camellia.

It's the most fresh and beautiful flower.

Mr. Ouyang, what's wrong?

I'm okay.

The tears fall and they moistened my heart

Miss Ni Chang, can I ask you to embroider a camellia for me?

Silk cloth or handkerchief are both okay.

I was lucky to see the embroidery of camellia pattern from your esteemed institute.

I think the embroidery technique is exquisite and delicate.

Okay.

It's the cloth market in front.

You ask the price and let me listen, is it okay?

Your Excellency's clothing is so gorgeous.

I can't get discount if you follow me.

No worries.

We just ask but don't buy. Just annoy them.

Flowers bloom and wither, and I only wait for you

I'll hide the blosoms in my heart

This is the biggest cloth shop of Huaizhou, Jinxin Shop.

The opposite one is called Hanyuan Hall.

Their price is the most economical.

What are you looking at?

You scared me! Why are you here?

You are tailing after Ni Chang.

- No! - Stop pretending! You are tailing after her!

Why are you here?

I...I'm here to protect Ni Chang. I'm worried about her.

Will Mr. Ouyang eat her?

Don't worry. Except for you, nobody will like her.

You are talking nonsense. I don't have crush on her.

Alright. Stop pretending.

You always try to get close to Ni Chang.

Everyone knows you like Ni Chang in Yunjin Institute.

Yes and so what?

Although Ni Chang has many disadvantages,

her appearance is quite outstanding.

Maybe Mr. Ouyang really feels for her!

No way!

So, we can't give Mr. Ouyang this opportunity.

Ni Chang is the apprentice of our Yun Jin Insititute anyway.

If she is reported scandal, it's shame for the whole Yun Jin Insititute.

What do you think?

So, I think we should separate them.

What do you think about it?

Ni Chang is serving Mr. Ouyang following my mother's order.

How can I separate them？

I said you were dull! It's easy.

Mr. Ouyang wants to hear about weaving and embroider of Huaizhou, right?

Does Ni Chang know as much as I know? Or can she explain as better as me?

I will replace her.

Alright. Don't hesitate.

Okay. We do as you said.

You eagerly look forward to getting close to Mr. Ouyang anyway.

But don't blame me for not warning you.

The status of Ouyang is different from us.

It's none of your business. My status is different from you.

It's none of your business. My status is different from you.

What do you think about this shop?

- The one at the corner— - Ni Chang! Ni Chang!

- Chengtian? - My mother wants to see you for emergency.

- What's that about? - Don't ask now.

Mr. Ouyang, my mother was afraid to delay your business.

So she assigned another person to serve you.

Don't worry. Feel free to order her.

- What is it? - Don't worry.

Mr. Ouyang!

Mr. Ouyang!

Wenxiu would like to work in service of Your Excellency.

I hope Your Excellency don't laugh at my stupidity.

Sir, there are many crafts shops in Huaizhou

and many novel trinkets. Why don't I take you shopping?

No need. I'm only looking at fabrics today.

Sir, it's going to be noon soon.

If you want to know the features and styles of embroideries in Huaizhou,

why don't you invite me for a cup of tea?

I can take my time to tell you. What do you think?

I don't need to trouble you. I have other matters to attend to.

I'm leaving. Please go back.

Sir-

Here's your change.

Is Master waiting here for me?

Take a seat.

Where's Master?

I tricked him.

It's better that we don't provoke that Master Ouyang.

Let Wenxiu handle him.

It's not easy for us to be here. Let's drink some tea and have some food before we go back.

Forget it. If Master finds out, she will take you are spending money frivolously again.

I purchase stocks and handle accounts every day.

It's not easy to have a day of leisure.

So what if I spend frivolously? I'm willing.

Waiter, bring a pot of tea.

Alright.

Seems like Young Master Yun doesn't has anything important to do.

How did you know we are here?

This market extends in all directions.

Blame yourself for panicking and escaping and unable to avoid my path.

Sir, you are mistaken. We are not escaping.

Your Master dispatched you but you were unwilling.

If you can't even admit this, this is too irresponsible.

Who's irresponsible?

Fine. Tell me why you are unwilling.

You are a major merchant from the capital

and didn't explicitly state why you want to do business with Yun Jin Residence.

Although Yun Jin Residence is a small business but others still make the best use of it

by choosing someone to do so much work.

She still needs to work late to compensate when she goes back.

Talk less.

You only thought about your convenience.

However, have you thought if it's convenient for me?

So to say, seems like you are blaming me.

If your Master hears what you said,

do you know the consequences?

Although I didn't explicitly state that I wanted to do business with Yun Jin Residence

but I wouldn't deliberately come to Huaizhou for no reasons too.

Naturally, there's big business.

What if I'm optimistic about Yun Jin Residence and changed my decision due to your statements?

Will your Master let you off?

You are a prince. What big transaction would you have?

You have been strolling on the street and wasted a lot of time,

Would there be any merchant who do business business like you?

You are wrong. Doing business is just like seeing a physician.

Looking and hearing is for checking the actual condition

in order to guarantee there are no risks involved.

The truth of knowing yourself and knowing the enemy in a hundred battles.

Didn't your Master teach you this?

- Master Ouyang- - Or should we say,

you think that doing business is simply just an exchange of money and goods?

Master Ouyang, we have an urgent task. Please go back early and rest.

Wait.

Your Master sent you to be my guide. You are not qualified.

However, out of respect for Yun Jin Residence,

I must teach you today.

Sit.

Sit with us.

I wonder what advice do you have.

We went to the fabric market today. Tell me

how many shops we visited and how many products we enquired.

Which shop has the highest and lowest prices for cloud crepe?

Where did the supplies come from? Via water or land?

Master Ouyang, don't be angry.

If we did anything wrong, I will apologize.

She's still young and immature.

We visited a total of seventeen shops and made nineteen product enquiries.

The highest price for cloud crepe is at Jinxing Shop and the lowest is at Hanyuan Court.

Jinxing Shop is the largest fabric shop in Huaizhou City.

They established branches in Huaizhou, Lingbei, He River and Shansui.

The goods are always transported via water routes.

Hanyuan Court doesn't has its own workshop.

They main rely on Jinxing Shop to distribute and maintain low-end goods.

This is the reason why their price is lower.

- Waiter. - Coming.

Sir, what would you like to order?

Serve this lady with a pot of the best Biluochun tea

to moisturize her throat.

Alright.

[Su Residence]

Second Uncle,

I heard from the steward that you are looking for me.

Have you collected money from the fabric shops in east city?

There's one more. The shop owner said that they have been strapped for cash recently and asked for a few more days.

Bastard.

This cunning man is obviously taking advantage of a youngster like you.

He's blatantly cheating.

If I were to go, let's see if he dares to say that.

Wenyu, you must remember this.

It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

As a young boss, you must not let these people lead you by the nose.

You must not be like your father

who's always so benevolent and left behind a bunch of bad debts.

If it weren't for me, we won't have collected those old debts of his.

Uncle, you are right. I will remember this.

By the way, regarding Madam Yan from Huaizhou, do you remember this?

Are you referring to Uncle Yan's family in Huaizhou?

Of course, I do. They are doing well.

Your Uncle Yan's daughter, Yan Wenxiu,

is now learning skills outside of Huaizhou City at Yun Jin Residence.

She will complete her studies in a few months.

Your Uncle Yan wants her to come to the capital to experience life

and learn business at the same time.

He wrote a letter

and wants us to receive her at Su Residence to stay here for a short period of time.

Wenyu, show her around when she's here.

I met her when I was young. Su and Yan families are long time friends too.

It's no trouble at all. Please reply his letter immediately

and tell him not to worry.

I will show her around the capital.

This sounds great.

That year, Uncle Yan wanted arrange a betrothal of minors between you both.

Now that you both are adults,

we might as well settle this marriage.

Second Uncle, Younger Sister Wenxiu and I only met once during childhood.

An important matter like marriage requires long-term planning.

- Besides, Second Uncle- - Su and Yan families are well matched in social status.

I have seen this young lady a few years ago.

She has become more beautiful.

Second Uncle, I regard Wenxiu just like a younger sister.

It will be extremely hard if we talk about marriage.

Stop being mischievous.

It's not for you to decide when parents act as intermediary for your marriage.

I don't have any intentions to start a family now. I only want to take good care of the Su family's business.

Second Uncle, please don't mention this again.

- I'm leaving. - You-

[Xie Residence]

Ni'er,

when are you coming back?

Miss, why are you here to pollute people's ears and eyes?

Aren't you afraid to ruin the beautiful scenery of the moonlight?

Over here.

I'm playing in my own courtyard.

I'm polluting my family's ears and eyes. How does this concerns you?

If you like melodies,

why don't you come and discuss with me?

Being able to give you a few pointers is also considered my honor.

I don't need it.

It's late. Please do whatever you like.

How arrogant.

But I keep finding her more and more familiar.

In a daze again?

- What are you doing? - I have been looking for you for a long time. Why are you hiding here?

None of your business.

I told you to look for the physician. Any news?

Prince, I consulted various renowned physicians. They said that short-term amnesia can't be treated with medications.

Since there's not much damages, we might as well forget this.

It's even giving you a headache for the whole day.

Lately, I keep thinking that something important happened in the past.

I must recall it.

What important matter?

If I were to know, would I still need a physician?

Rightly so.

However, we have stayed here for quite some time.

Why don't we go back to the capital?

Thinking of your Older Sister Xiao Qin again?

But I still want to stay here for a few more days.

Why?

It's interesting.

Interesting?

Rocks?

No, I should find you a doctor.

Thank you!

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

Hey...

Wait for me!

There are easier paths, why do you want to climb up this hill?

Then why are you still following me?

Hey!

What is it? Are you really so timid?

You're afraid to even cross a bridge?

Unhappy? Cross it, then.

Don't move about too much. I might end up falling with you.

If only you could be so restrained when you're bickering with me.

If only you could be so restrained when you're bickering with me.

To be able to make all this clothing in such a short time,

while also demonstrating your own styles...

that's pretty good.

Aunt Mei, is there any particular one that you like?

Aunt Mei, try mine! I guarantee you'll like it.

All right!

Who was the one who said the other day that Aunt Mei was ugly?

Today, let's see which one of you can make Aunt Mei pretty!

Today, let's see which one of you can make Aunt Mei pretty!

Aunt Mei, what do you think?

I was thinking about how Aunt Mei had to do work, so I shortened the sleeves,

and used this method of cutting, so the clothes won't drag as she walks.

I also added tassels at the waist for aesthetic reasons.

As for colours, I chose peacock blue and rose,

so it'll look more splendid!

It's too tight at the waist, it makes me uncomfortable.

See here, what use do I have for these tassels?

Do I use it to wipe my nose?

Aunt Mei, I made the waist according to your measurements. It fits.

I accept that it looks good when it's fitting, but it's not suitable.

If I dress like this, how will I chop wood, boil water, and cook?

This colour will get dirty easily when I work at the stove.

- But... - I'd like to try what Ni Chang made.

Wenxiu, this outfit that Aunt Mei is wearing makes her look so plain.

How can it compare to yours? The difference is between the sky and the earth.

Aunt Mei, what do you think?

This outfit is good. I'll choose this.

Tell us your reasons.

You know that I do menial work.

I usually don't like being garish.

Hence, those silk and satin don't suit me.

Red and green don't suit me at all.

This outfit is plain and not showy.

It's just right. The best part is that I fetch water and wipe the floor every day.

I'm always kneeling down on the ground. There's also a double layer on the knees of this outfit.

The cuffs are also suitable and the hems

are neither too wide or narrow. It's suitable for me to chop woods and fetch water.

I can move freely too.

It fits everywhere and is very thoughtful.

Even if the outfit is suitable for work, it's not beautiful at all.

Master already said that innovation was the topic.

This outfit is unremarkable. Where's the innovation?

Aunt Mei chose this because she gets along well with Ni Chang.

About this, one should be impartial.

Ni Chang, tell us.

Why did you tailor this unremarkable outfit?

The most important aspect for Aunt Mei's outfit is practicality.

But other than practicality, I also took aesthetics into account too.

I wonder if anyone notices that Aunt Mei's complexion is dark and yellowish.

In fact, she's not suitable for bright colors. On the contrary, grey, black, scarlet and brown

can show obvious signs of Aunt Mei's agility and vitality.

Even if the color matches the skin tone, it's not considered innovation too.

Aunt Mei, let me help you to reverse this outfit. Yuan Xiang.

This outfit can be worn on both sides.

This side is for doing odd jobs but it will inevitably get dirty.

If there are sudden guests and it's too late to change, she can reverse the outfit.

This saves time and can also takes care of the etiquette.

You are only concerned about the magnificence and exquisiteness of the outfit.

You didn't consider the requirements of the person who's wearing it.

Whereas Ni Chang is the only one who paid attention to this.

You are only racking your brains on how to make the outfit more gorgeous and eye-catching as possible.

Ni Chang is the only one who spent time to observe Aunt Mei

to look at the details and consider her requirements.

- Do you need my help? - No need.

Go back to work.

Hence, Ni Chang is the only one who passes this class.

The rest

are disqualified.

Aunt Mei, when I have the time,

I will tailored two more sets of outfits for you.

This is great. I can replace them.

I can look good too.

You have always been good looking.

- Alright, I'm going to work. - Aunt Mei,

your hair is messy.

Is that so? When I changed my outfit just now,

I may have been careless and messed it up.

Master Ouyang, are you here to look for Master?

I have nothing to do today and wanted to wander around in the market.

Hence-

Ni Chang didn't rest for a few days due to the test.

Master specifically instructed her to remain at home.

Why don't I go with you instead?

I'm more familiar with that place than Ni Chang.

- I- - Master Ouyang, this way, please.

Ni Chang, there are no classes today. Where do you plan to go?

I made an appointment with Master Ouyang to visit the market today.

Didn't Master Ouyang already left?

- He left? - That's right.

I saw Master Ouyang and Wenxiu leaving together just now.

Ni Chang, although Master Ouyang doesn't seem like a bad person

but his background is terrible.

It's best that we don't provoke him.

- Master wants me- - Just let Wenxiu go with him.

We don't have any authority and power. We should avoid him whenever we can.

- Fine. - We don't have anything to do today.

Why don't we take a walk in the street?

Alright.

I'm going to call Yuan Xiang. Wait for me.

Why Yuan Xiang again?

- Everyone likes this- - It's almost time.

Let's stop here today.

But we have yet to go there.

I have almost done what I wanted to do.

Thank you for keeping me company today.

I won't trouble you anymore.

Buns for sale.

Master Ouyang.

Master Ouyang, are you bored with me?

Why do you say this?

I'm not stupid. How could I not know

if I'm boring?

Miss, you misunderstood. This is not my intention.

I admire you

and want to do my best for you.

You are bored by me today.

How can I withstand such a blow?

I'm not bored with you. You are thinking too much into this.

If this is true, you must prove that you are not bored with me.

Why don't you treat me to a meal?

Let's forget about today. What about tomorrow?

-Fine. - Thank you, Master.

Let's meet tomorrow. Be there or be square.

Everyone knows today that

Master Ouyang and I went out together.

Tomorrow, they will see us

dining together alone again.

Older Sister Wenxiu, come and take a look now.

Older Sister Wenxiu, you look beautiful today.

Is Master Ouyang meeting you for a meal?

What's the relationship between the both of you?

Could it be that Master Ouyang is interested in you?

Stop spouting nonsense.

Master Ouyang and I are currently just friends.

Ni Chang, I'm going out.

Do you want me to take anything for you?

No need. It's getting late.

Go now. Don't delay.

You are right. It's getting late.

I must not let Master Ouyang wait for too long.

I'm leaving now.

Older Sister Wenxiu, take care.

Does Master Ouyang has an eye disease?

Is he really interested in Wenxiu?

Probably not.

I think these two are compatible.

Who says so? Wenxiu has a crooked mind.

- Whoever is interested in her, he will be unlucky. - You don't understand.

How a man sees a woman, it's different from how a woman sees another woman.

How is it different? Aren't you just like me? You hate Wenxiu too.

Perhaps, that Master Ouyang only looks at Wenxiu's face.

What's about the face? Do you think Yan Wenxiu is pretty too?

Frankly speaking, she definitely looks better than you.

Chengtian!

- Don't bully Yuan Xiang. - I didn't.

- Go and pour some clean water. - Why would I do that?

Take a look at yourself. Who says that Yuan Xiang is not pretty?

I didn't say she's not pretty.

What a blockhead. It's your good fortune to meet Yuan Xiang.

You still don't know how to cherish her. I'm furious.

Ignore him. Let's leave.

Did I say something wrong? What's with the temper?

Is Miss Ni Chang here?

I remember you. You are that-

- I'm Master Ouyang's attendant. Yes, that's right.

Master Ouyang would like Miss Ni Chang to help him with something.

Looking for Ni Chang?

This way, please.

I didn't expect Master Ouyang to be here so early.

Not only am I early, I have already ordered the food.

Miss Wenxiu, please take a seat.

- Serve the food. - Yes.

Master Ouyang is very caring.

I feel very apologetic.

I usually stayed in the village.

I will have to trouble you more in the future.

Frankly, we could have sat at any table

and eat anything. Is there a need to spend so much money?

This is my first banquet invitation at Huaizhou.

Of course, it needs to be more serious.

That many? Will we both be able to finish them?

It's not that much. There are snacks and fruits before and after the meal.

I instructed the restaurant to start preparing since yesterday.

I hope they won't make any mistakes.

Master Ouyang attaches much importance in our appointment.

It makes me feel warm.

If you need me for anything in the future, please instruct me.

Let me give you a toast first.

Let's not do this first. It's still not too late to give a toast when everyone's here.

There are others?

Master Ouyang, what a lavish spread.

Smells good.

Come. Let's sit here. Quick.

Miss Ni Chang is indeed giving me face.

If I were to personally issue the invite, I fear everyone may not come.

I won't disappoint what you entrusted me to do.

However, Master doesn't know noise and excitement. If there are some snacks,

we can bring them back for her.

I have already instructed them to prepare two boxes of tea and refreshments

to be delivered to Yun Jin Residence.

Everyone, I have been imposing on you every day.

Hence, I specially prepared some light wine to chat to display my sincerity. Please make yourself at home.

- Please take a seat. - Thank you, Master Ouyang.

Miss Ni Chang, please sit.

Who's this?

Isn't this Wenxiu?

I thought Master Ouyang only invited Wenxiu.

Who knew she would be here first to handle this?

Wenxiu, it has been hard for you.

Wenxiu, why did you hide from us? There are plenty of nice food here. You should have told us earlier.

That's right.

Thank you, Miss Ni Chang,

for inviting so many guests on my behalf today. Here's a toast to you.

Master Ouyang, you are too formal.

Let's give a toast to Master Ouyang.

Yes.

Master Ouyang.

Wenxiu, have some.

Have some, Wenxiu.

Master Ouyang ordered so many nice food Let's toast to him.

Come. Thank you.

Thank you, Master Ouyang.

Thank you, Master Ouyang.

Everyone, make yourselves at home. Let's start.

Let's eat now.

Pass the chopsticks now.

''Even if the Fireworks Finally Scatter'' Singer: Wang Rui - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ Dark clouds covered the moon and flowers turned into blood ♫

♫ Departures never end in life ♫

♫ I hope to end your tears, make you smile, and be daring without guilt ♫

♫ To see you again ♫

♫ How long must I gaze at the starlight, how many absurd things must I do? ♫

♫ So that my whole life will be passionate ♫

♫ To handle the impermanence, how far must I look into the distance? ♫

♫ To be able to stay by your side ♫

♫ My only wish is to live my life with my love ♫

♫ Even if the fireworks scatter ♫

♫ It will do so gradually ♫

♫ I don't have to regret and will have no regrets ♫

♫ How much more courage must I have to see you coming towards me? ♫

♫ My only wish is to live my life as the light under your lamp ♫

♫ Just like the misty rain and haze in Jiangnan ♫

♫ Can you then accompany me like the raised pattern of an embroidery piece ♫

♫ Can you then accompany me till the sky turns blue again ♫
