"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 during the whirlwind ♫

♫ 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 in watching 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 would be the sweets you'd given to me ♫

[Ni Chang]

[Episode 6]

Why would you end up like this?

Miss, fear not.

Tell us where your home is.

Once you get a bit better, we'll send you back, okay?

I don't remember.

How could you not even remember your own home?

What about your parents and family?

I don't remember.

Do you not remember or not want to say?

Surely it's not bad enough that you don't even remember your own name?

My name is Ni Chang.

It's clear just from hearing it that she made it up herself.

Younger Sister!

Young Miss,

Lady Yun is Huai Zhou City's famous cloth making instructor.

This is her workshop.

If she's willing to take you in, that's your good fortune!

Hurry and grasp this opportunity!

Hurry and go!

Master, please accept me as a disciple.

Learning embroidery

cannot be achieved by a person lacking attention to detail.

What makes you think you have the talent?

I am not sure if I have talent,

but I want to learn skills.

And become a successful businesswoman!

You young lady,

speak ambitiously.

You did not remember anything before.

Have you remembered now?

My parents...and family have all passed away.

I'm a poor orphan with nowhere to go.

Brother Zhao and Elder Sister, I think you should take her away.

Since she wants to stay so badly,

-why don't you see how she does first? -Elder Sister,

please don't make this hard for me.

This child is clever enough.

She doesn't speak one word of truth.

Yun Jin Institute is a place to learn arts.

We can't afford to have such a person.

I beg you. Please let me stay.

Although my Yun Jin Institute is small,

it's still not a place that anyone can stay in.

There's five water pots out in the front yard.

Tomorrow morning,

if you can fill those pots

then I will take you in.

-If you're afraid of hardship, then go home. -Five pots?

Ok. You promised.

Just looking at her figure, she was obviously spoiled as a child.

I doubt she can take any hardships.

Sister Yun, this is certainly hard on her.

Why must you do this?

What are you looking at?

Hurry and go back.

Let's go!

Be careful!

The water's all spilled out.

You won't be finished in time like this.

Let me help you.

My name is Cheng Tian. The person you call Master is my mother.

You won't fill it completely like this!

You might as well go beg my mother for her favor!

Hey! Hey, you really don't need my help?

Hey!

Hey...

Are you alright?

So clumsy.

Watch out next time!

Hey! Hey!

I'm fine if I say so?

Father, Mother, Brother

I will definitely remain in the Yun Jin Institute to take revenge for you.

I must survive first.

If I want to survive,

then I have to learn skills for survival.

I won't let you down.

♫ From dawn to dusk, I still miss you like always ♫

♫ Rouge tears like rain ♫

♫ waters the spring soil ♫

♫ Falling such that the bo trees lack fruit ♫

♫ As if it were yesterday, I sweetly remember ♫

♫ a poem ♫

♫ With no one to long for and a furrowed brow ♫

♫ during the deep autumn and winter ♫

♫ My memories are wiped away ♫

♫ No emotions lie where the paper fan falls ♫

♫ The words from the brush ♫

The water fetched last night might as well be nothing.

What an idiot. If I were here, I would've stopped long ago.

Even though she knows it can't be done, she still does it.

How pitiful.

That's not pitiful.

It's ambition and perseverance.

From what I see, she's better than any of you.

That's the only good thing about Cheng Tian. He can always find something good about someone.

What do you mean by that?

Why are you comparing us with her?

That's right. Setting us aside, just Wen Xiu's

appearance, education, and skills

shouldn't even be compared to that wild girl.

Jin Chan's right!

With that girl's poor and dirty appearance,

how could she have the right to be compared with Sister Wen Xiu?

Cheng Tian doesn't mean it like that. Don't misunderstand.

You two followers,

I'm sure Young Miss Wen's benefits are quite good

for you two to defend her like that. And you.

Don't talk with these sort of people in the future.

You'll be learning bad.

Hey, watch what you are saying!

-What sort of people? What sort? -You tell me!

What sort of people?

It's raining.

Let's go. Hurry, hurry!

Child, did you fetch water the entire night?

The sun's already come up,

but the water pots aren't full yet.

Just leave them. The rain's pouring harder.

Let's get out of the rain first.

-Hurry, let's go! -Go on!

♫ I only wait for you ♫

This way, this way!

-The rain's so heavy. -I've told you already.

One person can't possibly fill several large pots.

The water pots are not full.

According to our promise,

you can leave now.

Sister...

Elder Sister, don't try to convince me.

Yun Jin Residence values honesty.

We can't break the rules.

Go with Lord Zhao.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Look! The water pots are full!

It's true.

That doesn't count.

The rain water filled the pots, not you.

But...

But yesterday you didn't specify how they were to be filled.

Sister, this is the will of the heavens.

If the heavens are helping her so,

just let her stay.

Sister Yun, this girl is clever and smart.

She has perseverance and determination.

Is she not what Yun Jin Residence needs?

Master,

please take me in. I, Ni Chang, vow to the heavens

that I will not fail Lord Zhao and Lady Zhao

and your kindness in saving me and giving me another chance.

Master, please take me in.

Just take her in, Sister.

That's right, just accept her.

If that is so, then you may stay.

Thank you, Master!

Hurry and stand up.

What fortunate rain.

[Su Residence]

Second Master, this-

Brother Shen, weren't you going to wait outside?

I was just discussing with the master!

There's no need for more discussion! I've completed your work, but my elder brother lost his life!

This isn't the price we discussed before.

Brother Shen Lan, you brothers worked for me. Unfortunately, your brother passed away.

I am also in great sorrow! How about this, I will add 50 to the original price

as comfort. What do you think?

50?

Old man! My elder brother's life is only worth 50?

I can take your life with a swing of my sword.

Brother Shen Lan, let's speak peacefully! Peacefully!

Brother, then how much do you want?

The original price plus my elder brother's life.

500. If you don't have 500, I won't leave today.

500? Where do I get 500 for you?

Old man!

You think 500 is expensive? It's my brother's life!

Do you want money, or your life?

Life! Life!

Go get the note!

Go!

Ok, ok, ok!

Look at your cowardly visage, and you have the courage to buy assassins?

Second Master

Brother Shen, here's the note. You have got to keep this matter a secret!

If this was revealed, there's no benefit to either of us!

My life isn't worth much. I'm not afraid of anything.

However...

For the sake of 500 silver pieces,

I will help Master Su...keep his secret.

Second Master! Second Master! Second Master...

-Look, yours is crooked! Here and here! -No it isn't.

-It's not even as good as the embroidery I made yesterday. -I think it looks fine.

Sure, it does! Give it here!

I won't!

Slow down, slow down.

-Is it easy to chop? -Yes, it's easy.

-I'll help you? -No, I can do this.

-I'm alright. Go ahead with your duties, Aunt Mei. -Alright, alright.

-Slow down, alright? -Ok.

For embroidery, aside from the traditional Bian Xiu,

there is Pian Xiu, Da Dian Xiu, and Yun Jian Xiu.

Yun Jian Xiu is also called Tui Yun Xiu.

You can use the difference between dark and light colors

to display a fuller and richer appearance.

Your hand

should be more straight.

Right. The first batch should start from the edges.

The edges must be neat.

The second batch starts from the middle of the first batch.

You must leave space between the first and second batch.

The third batch curves into the end of the first batch by one centimeter.

-And leave some space for the fourth batch. -Come here.

-It's the same thing. Same thing. -And go from there? Do you understand?

I understand, Master.

Cheng Tian, what are you doing?

Ni Chang, why are you here?

Are you finished with the kitchen work? Why don't you hurry and leave?

Yes, ma'am.

Cheng Tian,

you are such an idiot. Don't get involved with other people's business.

Right, right, right. I think you're right.

Hey, Wen Xiu look over there!

What?

My goodness!

I just fixed it! Why did you draw on it?

What happened here? Who did this? So clumsy!

-Pay me back! -What does it have to do with me?

-You drew on it! Pay me back! -I didn't.

What's going on?

-Master... -You two are disrupting the class. Go stand outside.

-Master, it's Cheng Tian- -Why aren't you leaving?

Why aren't you leaving?

Cheng Tian! Don't stand there! Master already left.

Cheng Tian, didn't Master want us to stand outside? Where are you going?

Ai ya...

[Yi Yuan]

Keep standing!

In the past,

I always thought Yun Jin Residence never had a true beauty and felt regretful for that.

But now, one has finally come.

Who's the beauty you're talking about?

Her?

Of course! Could it be you?

You-

Come in if you want to. What's all the creeping around?

Mother...

What is it?

If you want to speak up for Ni Chang, then there is no need.

Mother, why do you treat her this way?

She's still a disciple you agreed to accept.

Since you let her stay, then you should teach her things, right?

Why does she have to learn things? Did she pay a fee or is she naturally talented?

Mother, you were never a snobbish person.

Ni Chang doesn't have parents, and came to us alone.

We should take care of her more.

She has no one, so I have given her a place to stay.

But she even refuses to speak about where she came from.

I don't want to teach a disciple like her.

Alright. It's late. Go rest.

Mother!

Close the door when you leave.

I don't know what's going on either!

But this cloth...is so discolored. We can't use it either!

I don't care! Give me back my silvers.

This-No, no, no! I can't decide this.

This is obviously a dye mistake on your part! Only a few days have passed,

and the color's faded so much! You have the face to sell something like this?

I can't return goods? Alright, let's go find your manager.

-Don't, don't, don't! This batch of cloth was my responsibility. -What don't? Hurry and go!

-You have to pay me back! -If you let me manager know, I'll get scolded!

-I don't care! -Please take pity on me!

-Don't! Don't go find the manager! -Aunt Mei,

Where did you store this batch of cloth after bringing it back?

Why are you asking that? I'm busy right now!

I don't have time for you! Go, go, go, go! Hurry!

Hurry up!

Good Aunt Mei, just tell me. Where did you store this cloth?

The storage rooms were full, so I placed this cloth in my closet.

You've reminded me! The cloth was fine when we handed it to you!

-How did you store it? -You're blaming me now?

-Putting cloth in a closet where there's no wind or rain, what's wrong with that? Tell me! -What's wrong?

How would I know what's wrong?

Now you aren't being reasonable!

Return my silvers! You must return my silvers! -I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

It can't be that you took all the silver yourself,

and used that coarse dye to trick me?

-Come with me! Come! -Ho-How can you speak such nonsense?

-Come with me! -They were clearly fine when I gave it to you!

-What does it have to do with me? -Who believes you?

Stop arguing! I know why the color faded.

Where is your cabinet?

Here.

I place eaglewood in my cabinet for a nice aroma and to get rid of bugs.

Aunt Mei, the cloth he sent was made with Wu Mei water and spoiled red flower cake,

and washed with clean water multiple times, or dyed with withered rice ash.

And red flower cannot combine with eaglewood. If placed together, in a few days

the cloth color will fade along the scent path of the eaglewood.

So...you've misunderstood this person.

I was just saying, how could such good cloth fade in color?

If it wasn't for this young miss, I couldn't have proven my innocence.

So it was my fault.

I'm sorry for wronging you.

I say ugly things without thought sometimes. Don't hold it against me.

It's fine. It's fine.

All these rolls of cloth all have faded color.

What will I do?

Aunt Mei, don't worry. I have an idea.

- Let's go, let's go. - Let's take a look.

Ni Chang,

what are you doing?

You'll know soon.

- The colour fading is serious. - Aunt Mei

Rest assured. I can definitely change the colour of the cloth.

Don't act foolishly!

If you spoil it, it'll be harder to fix it.

That's right, Ni Chang. Don't act foolishly.

- Exactly - I trust Ni Chang.

She must have her reasons for doing this.

Cheng Tian's right. I trust Ni Chang too.

It changed!

- See, I was right! - It really changed. - I knew she could do it.

It's amazing.

Aunt Mei, look at this.

- Really. - Ni Chang what did you pour in just now?

It's alkaline water. This cloth was originally washed in alkaline water to remove impurities.

Hence, I thought that by adding alkaline water, it could restore its original color.

You solved a huge trouble for me.

Where di you study all this?

Master mentioned it in class before.

When I brought tea in, I accidentally overheard the conversation.

Turns out it was taught by the Master.

Looks like the ones really paying attention are only a few.

Master asked you to do odd jobs? You have been wronged.

I think you're even better than them.

- Aunt Mei, you must be joking. - Wait for me!

They have been studying for years. I haven't even entered the threshold.

- How can I accept such words. - You can.

Why are you all still standing here? Go and do what you're supposed to do!

[Xu's Silk and Fabric Shop]

Lord Yuan.

This is the Su family's Silk and Cloth Shop.

Many of the silk merchants in the capital

obtain the silk from the Su family

and made their products from the wholesale of inferior fabric from them.

How's their business?

With Master Yuan taking care of them,

naturally, the business is good.

Lord, please go in.

We have checked everywhere.

This looks nice.

I did not know Lord Yuan would give me the honour of coming to my humble place.

Please forgive me.

Boss Su, you are too serious.

Lord, please come in.

Boss Su,

our Lord Yuan has come here this time

not for an urgent matter.

We just wanted to look at the account book.

Lord, why did you trouble yourself to come here?

If you want anything,

- you can just give an order. - Second Uncle!

I can't calculate this account clearly. Can you help me take a look?

How reckless. Can't you see I have guests? Leave now.

Boss Su,

this must be the Su family's eldest son.

Why don't you introduce him to us.

I am Su Wenyu. Nice to meet you.

If you have important matters to discuss with Second Uncle,

I shall not disturb you. I will take my leave.

Lord, lord. I am wrong.

My nephew is lacking courtesy and has offended you.

- I hope you can forgive me. - Not a problem.

Boss Su, get up quickly.

Boss Su,

earlier we saw that your Su family

opened up many new shops in Cheng Nan.

Your business is getting better.

So about the later portions,

should it also be mentioned.

Lord, you are right. Manager Xiao!

Go and pick a couple of top-quality cloths and send them to Lord Yuan and Lord Gao's manor.

Yes, Second Master.

Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Su.

Yes.

Take care, Master Yuan.

Boss Su

remember to bring the account book as well.

Yes, yes.

Second Master, their ambition is getting bigger and bigger.

We won't be able to supplement our accounts soon.

Then what solution do you have?

Besides, in the future we'll have to rely on them.

Ni Chang.

Master.

Do you have any instructions?

Come and attend the lesson with everyone else tomorrow.

Or do you want to do odd jobs your entire life?

Thank you Master! Thank you Master!

Congratulations.

- Yuan Xiang! - Master.

If you sleep again, go and stand at the back as punishment.

Look here.

- Yours is not nice at all. - Ni Chang, here.

- Ni Chang, you're here! - Don't worry, it's just us.

You guys teach her.

Take this. Wait a second.

What are you doing?

Your needlework has improved,

but your color matching is not good enough.

Why do you always use purple? Why do you do this?

Because I love eating eggplant.

What are you laughing at?

I will let you pass this time. Don't be lazy next time.

Yes, Master.

Master, this is my embroidery.

Wenxiu, are you imitating Huaizhou's Lingyun Workshop's technique intentionally?

Master, my family has always been weavers.

Before I came here, my father told me specifically

to learn all parts of the trade and not to focus only on one skill.

If master doesn't want to see this, then I won't do this next time.

No, it's a good thought.

It's indeed important to learn many different styles,

but before that, you must master the basic skills.

Otherwise, you won't be able to pull off new methods well.

If you just learn a bit of this and a bit of that, then you'll lose out on your own unique style.

You are right, master. I understand.

[Checked off: Yuan Xiang, Yan Wenxiu]

Where's Ni Chang?

Master, I'm sorry. I'm late.

What were you doing?

The kitchen was out of firewood; I went to chop some.

Go and sit down first.

Come over here.

Where's your embroidery piece?

Why have you only embroidered half of it?

Everyone else turned it in on time. Why is it only you were late?

Ni Chang, you've embroidered that flower all lopsided and crooked.

Wow, no one better say it was embroidered by someone from Yun Jin Residence,

or it'll ruin our reputation.

It's completely horrible.

Don't be like that, you two.

Ni Chang doesn't have the basic skills, of course she would embroider it into this.

But with this level of skill, how many years will it take to catch up with the rest of us?

- Explain. What happened? - Mom.

This is the classroom. Who's your mom?

Ni Chang has to chop firewood, fetch water,

make food, sweep the yard, water flowers, make beds,

and wash clothes for all of us.

She has too many chores to do everyday. Besides,

Jin Chan and Cui Yu are always making sarcastic remarks at her,

how is she supposed to learn in peace?

Don't spew nonsense. I don't do that.

You always say that Ni Chang hasn't given any tuition money,

isn't fit to stay at Yun Jin Residence to learn, and even push her around a lot.

I see all of this.

Master, Jin Chan and Cui Yu wouldn't do that.

Maybe Cheng Tian misunderstood.

You're the best at faking a good person.

Yuan Xiang, you say it. Do they often push Ni Chang around?

Cheng Tian is right. They often make fun of Ni Chang

and order her to do this and that.

Yuan Xiang, don't lie just to get on Cheng Tian's good side.

I'm not!

I know that since your dad died, your family has fallen.

It's already been over half a year without paying tuition. I understand you.

If you want to stay at Yun Jin Residence, you have suck up to the young master.

But in front of this many disciples—

Yuan Xiang!

You've gone overboard!

Alright! Everyone sit down. Look at you all fighting like this!

You explain. What happened?

Master, I purposed embroidered the flowers to be crooked.

When I was embroidering a flower I saw in the courtyard,

a butterfly just happened to rest on a petal.

When the butterfly moved, the flower also swayed with it.

It was fresh inspiration. But it stayed too short,

and I wasn't able to finish the piece. Master, please punish me.

So that's what happened.

Master, don't believe her.

Clearly she just didn't finish embroidering and found this excuse.

She really is shameless.

Since the embroidery isn't finished, no matter what I can't pass you.

However, your desire to look to nature for inspiration

is a very rare.

Thank you, master.

Stop crying.

Let me tell you, the sadder you are, the more satisfied they feel.

Are you like them too? Who see me like that?

See you like what?

That because my family's in hard times

and don't have any money for tuition, that I'm sucking up to you.

You've been sucking up to me? How come I don't see that?

- I haven't been. - Alright.

Since you haven't, why do you care so much about what others say about you?

But- but I do treat you pretty well.

That's because I'm unrestrained and elegant, loved wherever I go.

That's not your problem, it's mine.

Alright, don't keep crying.

Your face was already round. Crying just makes it even rounder.

You're round!

Who...!

Come back here!

You're an eggplant-filled bun, am I wrong?

- And you're a dumpling! - And you're a big pancake too!

You should change your name from Yuan Xiang to Yuan Xiao! (Yuan Xiao is a dumpling eaten during the Lantern Festival)

Sorry.

It's fine.

Yuan Xiang, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

In the future, don't get into an argument with Wenxiu and them.

I just comforted one, and then you came.

Wenxiu always gets people to bully you.

I don't like to see it. Besides, Cheng Tian doesn't like that either.

Exactly, I can't stand it.

My skills are poor and I learn slowly. It's normal for others to look down on me.

You're already working so hard. In my eyes, you're better than all the rest of them.

Cheng Tian, don't say that anymore.

The more you say that, the more they'll hate me.

Like with Yuan Xiang, asking her today to face off with Wenxiu in front of everyone

just gave them an opportunity to humiliate her.

Cheng Tian, don't say these things in the future.

It sounds like it might be my problem.

I didn't mean to blame you, I just mean

in the future, you can be more subtle.

That's right, what you say is right. I'll listen to you.

This is so ugly!

Exactly, how is it so ugly!

You two go back first. I'll go grab something.

- See you later. - Okay.

Ni Chang, since Master complimented your cleverness,

that means we can all learn from it.

How about we hang up this half-made art piece somewhere? It can be an object lesson for everyone.

For this amazing work of art,

where would it look best?

How about we hang it here?

Of course it should be hung in the very middle.

Yeah, right there!

What are you doing?

Ni Chang, we're all just joking around. Why are you getting angry?

Joke's over. Can I go now?

This is where you're wrong.

We all just want you to improve.

Then, thank you very much.

The girl is so arrogant! She doesn't listen to teaching.

Exactly, who does she think she is?

Why are you in the kitchen again?

I can never get the account balances right. I'm afraid mom will scold me, so I'm hiding in here for now.

Auntie Mei, from the shipment of cloth we got at the beginning of the month, we returned 13 bolts,

then we got back 10 bolts. Does this count under total stock or business loss?

You're the account manager, and you're asking me? Who do I ask?

Who told you to go steal eggs from trees instead of studying?

If the accounts don't balance out, we'll see how your mom will take care of you.

It's because what she's written doesn't balance out; you can't blame me.

It's clearly because your studies are lacking.

Whenever you manage the accounts, it's always a mess.

Last time you wrote incoming stock instead of outgoing stock,

we almost had to pay up money.

That time was recorded wrong.

Cheng Tian, can you let me see that?

What's so interesting about this? It's all just numbers...
