Oh My General

20

If a cow won't drink water, don't press on its head. I do know that principle.

Divorce Letter

21

I really am very grateful that you're willing to let me go.

22

The art of war: psychological warfare.

23

I don't believe I won't be able to subdue you.

24

Lu Zhenting is coveting my family's lamb meat secret recipe.

25

He bore a grudge and devised such a sinister trick to frame my son!

26

What's going on?

27

My husband wants to continue betting so you must continue letting him play.

28

I admit defeat.

29

Husband, where's my labor fee?

30

What labor fee? Look at you.

31

You're even a great general?

32

Episode 8

33

Say, who do you think is the owner of the casino?

34

Probably Prince Qi.

35

Prince Qi? No way.

36

With my understanding of him, he looks honest and virtuous.

37

He doesn't look like a person that will get involved in messed-up business like this.

38

You think Prince Qi is some upright gentleman?

39

He's like me,

40

from head to tail, a complete money-grubber. (T/N: idiom - through and through)

41

Pour me some tea.

42

In earning money, I still have principles. I don't kill innocent people,

43

but he will get any kind of wealth. No moral principles. No limit.

44

But based on my understanding of him,

45

his moral character is not bad and so is his reputation.

46

Bullshit! He still has moral character and good reputation?

47

He's just pretending in front of you.

48

I know him very well.

49

If it's really like what you said, then this is bad.

50

Why?

51

Think about it. You let Xiao Xiazi cause a ruckus in Old Gao's place.

52

It might look as if it has nothing to do with you.

53

But when Lu Zhenting realizes it and finds out that Old Gao has fled,

54

won't he vent all his anger on Your Highness?

55

So what?

56

If he dares to open a casino, then he should be willing to accept losing money.

57

What can he do with me?

58

In the past, Royal Uncle got mad at me and had me flogged twenty times.

59

The Empress Dowager then scolded him for an hour.

60

Since then, Royal Uncle keeps a blind eye on my matters.

61

Unless it involves a human death, otherwise, he would never interfere.

62

Prince Qi can't do anything to me either.

63

But... what if he will take revenge on you?

64

One should always leave others some space.

65

Prince Qi loves beautiful women.

66

I heard that a few days ago, he married another concubine.

67

I'll send him this debt receipt as a wedding gift then.

68

After all, I'm also afraid that he will dare to give me a staggering blow.

69

If he dares to do that, I'll give his whole family a staggering blow!

70

But you must not keep his money.

71

Don't worry. I'm not stupid.

72

In a few days, it is the sixtieth birthday of the Empress Dowager.

73

The national treasury is quite empty and His Majesty is worrying about it.

74

I plan to donate my money to them to show filial piety.

75

At the same time, chat with the Empress Dowager about the bad luck of that casino to make her smile.

76

Husband.

77

Husband,

78

can you tell me how you cheated and won money?

79

There is no one else here now. Tell me about it.

80

It's my private secret technique. I won't teach it to outsiders.

81

I can understand the language of the dice.

82

Really? Who taught you?

83

Natural-born talent. Training on my own.

84

Even if that's the case,

85

you have to train for ten to twenty years before you can be that good, right?

86

Where did you get the patience and will?

87

Who trained?

88

I naturally have a cold body. When I was four years of age, I fell into a cold pond. (T/N: TCM type of malady)

89

It caused my illness to worsen and I was unable to leave the house.

90

My mother then locked me up in this house for fourteen years.

91

I was so bored every day. Other than playing with dice, I could only play with crickets.

92

It's just my right hand playing with my left hand every day, and naturally, I've figured it out.

93

Do you still remember how you fell into the cold pond?

94

I remember that I was playing with a little brother.

95

He was carrying me and then we fell into the pond.

96

Do you still remember what that little brother looked like?

97

So...

98

You're not planning to hit him, right?

99

I'm warning you. He didn't offend you.

100

I also will never tell you what he looks like.

101

Although I'm simple-minded and violent, I don't just hit anyone that I see.

102

What kind of memory do you have? You can't even remember the person who bullied you.

103

What's wrong with my memory?

104

I'm saying that your water skills are too poor.

105

Okay already. I'm tired after busying about for a whole day.

106

Now, if there is a hot lamb meat soup, that would be great.

107

Let's go.

108

Go where?

109

- Return to my study.

- Why?

110

To drink lamb meat soup.

111

Not bad.

112

This soup from Old Gao's shop is indeed very delicious.

113

Too bad I won't be able to drink it anymore.

114

It's fine. Other lamb meat soups, there's still chicken soup, duck soup, and "ten-in-one great nourishing soup."

115

It's also good to change your taste.

116

That's right.

117

Oh right, Husband. Let me tell you that the Empress Dowager really cares a lot about us.

118

A few days ago, she even called me for an audience and taught me some proper wife conduct.

119

What did the Empress Dowager teach you?

120

She told me that in marriage, one mustn't be too overbearing.

121

She told me to learn more from other women.

122

And then, she told me not to always dress this plain.

123

I should put on make-up, make my body softer, and learn to amuse men.

124

I'm still thinking... how do you amuse men?

125

Although I dislike you for not looking like a woman,

126

what will you look like if you force yourself to be a woman?

127

Husband...

128

No... That's too scary.

129

You must not. Just be like how you are now.

130

Okay. More importantly, I never knew how to be like a girl ever since I was little.

131

But Meiniang taught me some tricks a few days ago.

132

She told me that they are very effective against men.

133

Let me demonstrate them to you.

134

What was that again?

135

Let me think.

136

First, twist.

137

Second, smile.

138

Third, turn around.

139

One, cough.

140

Two, act dizzy.

141

Third, shake your body.

142

It's ugly?

143

She said that men can't handle it if I do that.

144

It can bewitch a man to death, without killing him.

145

How is that bewitching a man? That's totally scaring a man!

146

You were scarier than a ghost.

147

That... was too frightening.

148

Okay. I... just love your tactfulness.

149

We should act as we please. Don't force yourself too much.

150

Okay.

151

Prince Zhao Manor

152

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com

153

Husband, what are you busy with?

154

You're here.

155

I made you some daily clothing.

156

For me?

157

Try it on.

158

I've long heard from Xuan'er and Meiniang that you've designed most of their casual clothing.

159

Never thought that you really know how to make clothes.

160

You like to fight, so I used elastic fabric in critical points of the dress.

161

This way it will be convenient for you to wield swords and spears.

162

- Try it on.

- Okay.

163

It's my first time to have someone custom-make a piece of clothing for me.

164

It fits you well.

165

What is that?

166

A few days ago, the Empress Dowager gave me a copy of "Nü Ze" and told me to read it. (T/N: thirty volume work)

167

It's useless to get you to read such a thing.

168

That's right. I just love wielding swords and spears. I can't understand scholarly and refined things like this.

169

If not because of military matters, I wouldn't be reading books in my lifetime.

170

But never thought that the Empress Zhangsun of the past dynasty was this cultured. (T/N: Empress Consort of Tang Taizong, aka Li Shimin)

171

Look. Within this book, it's sentence after sentence of similar phrases.

172

Looks like you are moved by it.

173

It indeed affected me greatly. After reading it for three seconds, I guarantee that I'll fall asleep.

174

Fall aleep?

175

Why then is your divorce letter written in such a coherent manner?

176

The Military Tactician wrote it on my behalf.

177

Huli's scholarly skills are unrivaled and he has pretty penmanship.

178

You scoundrel! You even had to let an outsider write your divorce letter?

179

How is Huli an outsider?

180

If he isn't an outsider, is he your intimate person? (T/N: wife or husband, marriage partner)

181

Then... next time, I'll let Huli read "Examples for Women."

182

Once he has fully mastered it, I'll let him explain it to me.

183

Why must you look for your tactician for such a minor matter?

184

Haven't you had enough embarrassment?

185

Okay already. I'll help you study this.

186

That will be great, Husband.

187

I still have to handle matters in the military camp. I'll get going then.

188

Quickly go...

189

Thank you for the clothing that you made for me.

190

"Any woman should learn to properly conduct oneself first."

191

"In summary, the manner that a proper lady should conduct herself is simply being pure and chaste."

192

This is not right. How come I'm reading the "Examples for Women" here,

193

while she's doing nothing?

194

One Hundred Thousand Liang in Paper Currency

195

Your Majesty, there have been wars for successive years. Many things are waiting to be done.

196

The national treasury is now empty. It's also the Empress Dowager's birthday soon.

197

Although Your Majesty ordered the celebration to be very simple, we still shouldn't make it too simple.

198

This one hundred thousand liang in paper money that Nanping Junwang delivered as budget for the birthday of Empress Dowager

199

is, after all, an expression of his filial piety.

200

The source of the money is quite clean, too.

201

A casino can open up for business as long as they get a government permit,

202

as long as one doesn't openly disregard the law and suppress the citizens. Winning is completely based on one's ability.

203

Trashing one or two evil casinos and beating up two scoundrels,

204

as long as no one dies, just let the Imperial Censor give him a few scoldings at most.

205

This is really not a big deal.

206

Absurd.

207

A distinguished Nanping Junwang causing trouble in a casino. You completely brought shame to our royal clan.

208

You...

209

This time, I'll temporarily let this off in consideration for your filial act towards the Empress Dowager.

210

These capital officials are getting more and more unruly.

211

This Grand Tutor Liu already has so many vassal lands, yet he still keeps dredging for money.

212

Brothels, casinos, dominating the market... And furthermore, there's that Minister Lu,

213

just for a vacation villa, he permitted his servants

214

to destroy the farming fields of other people and even occupied their farmhouse.

215

That's right! If not because the government is in need of people right now,

216

those officials should have been removed from office and investigated already.

217

Isn't it so, Royal Uncle?

218

Are you the only one sensible here?

219

This is a real work by Wu Daozi. It was drawn so cleverly.

220

Thank you for Royal Uncle's gift! Your Majesty is busy with official affairs. I'll take my leave then.

221

Stop! Stop right there!

222

Noble Consort.

223

What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?

224

Your Majesty, calm down.

225

Your Majesty, although Yujin is naughty,

226

he is still more sensible and obedient than other hedonistic sons of the rich families in the capital.

227

My favored consort, you don't know

228

how helpless I am...

229

with this nephew of mine.

230

Your Majesty, Noble Consort must have some important matter to discuss with you.

231

I won't bother you two anymore. I'll go visit the Empress Dowager now.

232

Wait!

233

Yujin.

234

Yujin, you've been conferred as Nanping Junwang for quite some time already.

235

You can't keep playing around your whole life.

236

How about I give you an official position,

237

so that you can exert some efforts for Song?

238

Did this weasel get enchanted by a vixen to the point of having a disordered mental state?

239

Does he want the empire to end?

240

Royal Uncle, you also know my capabilities.

241

Other than eating, drinking, and playing around, I don't know how to do anything else.

242

Imperial scholars have taught me for so many years,

243

but I could only read a few books. How can I know about the principles of being a government official?

244

Letting me become an official might bring harm to a lot of people.

245

Yujin, don't belittle yourself too much.

246

After pondering on it for a long time, I think that you're the best choice for this position.

247

What position?

248

Dongjing City's patrolling Imperial Censor.

249

A city's patrolling Imperial Censor may sound high and mighty, but it's just a sixth-ranked minor official that handles street matters.

250

He handles fights of old women,

251

not paying when going to brothels, and other measly, unimportant matters.

252

Junwang,

253

it's not easy to manage the big streets of the capital.

254

Just a bunch of leaves falling off a tree might land on the heads of two or three nobles.

255

This is a place where high ministers gather,

256

where numerous masters and servants of royal family and aristocrats can be seen,

257

where there are different, complex and entangled relationships. Although the City Patrol Censor

258

is of low rank, his duty is very important.

259

Forget it.

260

How can I handle major matters like that with my abilities?

261

You even dared to meddle with Lu Zhenting's matters,

262

is there any other person that you won't dare to bother?

263

What if they won't listen to me?

264

You have Ye Zhao as your backer.

265

Then... if I mess it up, will you fire me?

266

Fire you?

267

Not really. At most, I'll just behead you.

268

I will lose my head? I...

269

I...

270

Yujin.

271

Yujin!

272

Informing Your Majesty and Your Highness the Noble Consort,

273

Nanping Junwang is all right. He's just overly-exhausted and suffered a little shock.

274

I'll prescribe some medicines, let him recuperate, and he'll recover in no time.

275

Yujin, don't worry. You just need to rest for a few days.

276

I've already told the Empress Dowager of your taking on the job of the capital's City Patrol Censor.

277

When the Empress Dowager heard it, she was so happy. She kept praising you as having sensibly the desire to improve.

278

I'm a distinguished Nanping Junwang, yet I have to become a sixth-ranked official

279

and wear some green-colored robe. When I stand in between my cousins who are wearing red and purple robes,

280

how embarrassing will that be!

281

All jobs are equal. Someone must do it.

282

Just get promoted in the future then.

283

Good!

284

Good, Good!

285

So great!

286

Very good!

287

Xuan'er, look!

288

General, you've got great moves!

289

- So handsome.

- This move is called "Majestic General sweeping away a thousand miles of wind and frost with one move."

290

- What's majestic? You're clearly just some bandit leader.

- Great!

291

Good!

292

This move is called "General defeating thousands of soldiers with one sword."

293

That is clearly a violent female brawler pulling out her sword, stunning and shattering human integrity.

294

The heavens will throw down a lightning bolt to strike and kill this scoundrel.

295

- Junwang, you're back.

- You're back.

296

Husband, you're back!

297

- General! You must be tired!

- I'm fine.

298

General, come. Drink some wine.

299

How come I've never seen you three being this enthusiastic when I'm in the house?

300

Yujin, you're back just in time. I'm also tired from swordplay.

301

The good wines and good meat are all here. Come, drink some wine.

302

Swordplay? I think you're just showing off.

303

I really want to divorce you four... wife, concubine, and tongfang maids,

304

who are unfaithful and are trying to infuriate me. (T/N: lit. "the red apricot tree leans over garden wall")

305

My actions are indeed a bit crude.

306

Don't take it to heart. Didn't I leave behind good wines and good meat for you?

307

Come. I'll fill one to the brim for you.

308

I want to eat meat.

309

Okay. Eat meat.

310

I'll choose a lean one for you.

311

General, Junwang, that... You two just chat first.

312

I'll take my leave now.

313

Meiniang and Xuan'er, weren't you two supposed to meet Madam Hai to do some flower embroidery?

314

- Right... Look at my memory!

- Right!

315

Let's go.

316

Let's go back to our rooms and burn some incense to Bodhisattva. (T/N: Buddhist saint who delays going to Nirvana to help suffering mortals)

317

Let's pray that their relationship will heat up and that they will never divorce.

318

Sister said it right. Better also to bless us three

319

to being able to enjoy grandeur and splendor forever.

320

- Let's go.

- Let's go.

321

The Princess Consort Dowager has been having successive good happenings lately.

322

You just got a great general as a daughter-in-law.

323

And now, your son is the Capital City Patrol Censor.

324

Fortune is really shining down on you.

325

Don't mention it anymore. The Junwang now is so docile and obedient to the General.

326

I heard that in a few days, they're moving out of the Prince Zhao Manor and living in their own house.

327

It's true that a mother can't dictate a grown son's life.

328

His Majesty gifted a new manor to the Junwang.

329

We mustn't refuse the grace of His Majesty. Moreover,

330

Yujin and the General are both now working for the government. It's just right for them to have their own manor.

331

My son doesn't want to live a comfortable life under the protection of the Zhao family.

332

He insists on working and making a name for himself.

333

Why must he make it hard on himself? He has a big tree like the General to rely on.

334

But the Junwang just had to insist on being some City Patrol Censor.

335

Could it be he just wanted to experience how it is to be an official?

336

But the position of a City Patrol Censor is so insignificant.

337

Even if the elder minister's wife herself looks down on a very minor City Patrol Censor,

338

my son is still working for the Emperor,

339

not unlike old Minister Lu who is also above all the regular people.

340

In my opinion, no matter if your position is high or low, you just have to do your best in fulfilling your duty.

341

I heard that a few days ago, General Ye brought the Junwang to the brothel to drink wines and cause a scene.

342

They even beat up Manager Lu of Changsheng Casino.

343

Beat up and hurt Manager Lu? Is there really such a thing?

344

They haven't even moved out yet, and they are already doing things behind your back?

345

After all, this daughter-in-law of yours is an uncontrollable wild horse.

346

Be careful that one day, the horse might trip and hurt your son.

347

Look at what you're saying. The two of them are just in the prime of their youth,

348

they can't help but make some mistakes.

349

Mother-in-law, no need to worry. Drink your tea.

350

Once General Ye has given birth to children and becomes a parent, she will also become more reserved.

351

My two sons both have married and had concubines early on.

352

But until now, not one piece of good news has reached me. (T/N: no pregnancies)

353

I heard that Prince Qi's Wife has returned to their vassal land in Jiangbei.

354

Behind her back, Prince Qi has married another new concubine.

355

Prince Qi's Consort is quite pitiful. She's the main wife, but she has no children.

356

This has made her situation at home very awkward. The vassal territory of His Majesty's older brother Prince Qi

357

is located adjacent to the borders and is quite infertile land.

358

Jiyu has no family or friends over there.

359

She is really lonely.

360

That's right. Other than marrying the right person, a woman must be able to give birth,

361

or else the family assets that you've helped managed all your life will just go to the concubines.

362

I heard that Prince Qi's Consort once had a baby boy, but it unfortunately died.

363

From then on, Prince Qi's Consort refused to give birth again.

364

She's very foolish! Since time immemorial, a mother relies on her son to promote her status.

365

But she instead chose to have no descendants.

366

Fellow madams, just continue chatting. The Princess Consort Dowager is tired.

367

We'll take our leave now.

368

Princess Consort Dowager, take care.

369

Zhao Yujin has been pampered by Princess Consort Dowager Zhao since he was little.

370

Until now, he hasn't had any manly ambitions.

371

Now, he relied on the General's reputation to earn himself a Capital City Patrol Censor position.

372

Haven't you heard people saying he's useless with no talent?

373

A useless person with no talent will never be a respectable person.

374

To make a long road short,

375

the Junwang became useless because he got spoiled too much by his mother.

376

Why did you ask me to come here this late at night?

377

I saw that you're in a bad mood this morning and you didn't finish the meat.

378

I then heated up the remaining meat. It will be done soon. Quickly sit.

379

Is your dagger a creation by Expert Yu of the past dynasty?

380

You have good eyesight.

381

This dagger is called Chanyi. It can cut steel like it's mud. (T/N: cicada wing)

382

When the Jianghu hero Changhao assassinated the eunuch Lu Huchen, this is the dagger that he used.

383

After I got this dagger, I used it to dig out the heart of

384

Yelu Dadan and bring it back as an offering to my Ye family ancestors.

385

It is indeed a good dagger for killing people and digging out their hearts.

386

My wife indeed has eaten people.

387

Let me slice you some more meat.

388

Don't worry. I've washed the dagger.

389

Oh, right. Why did His Majesty ask you to see him today?

390

Today, that weasel asked me there to confer me some official position called "Capital City Patrol Censor."

391

Husband, you've entered the government now?

392

Congratulations, congratulations! Remember to take good care of me from now on.

393

Even you are mocking me?

394

I wasn't. I really wasn't.

395

But how come His Majesty suddenly thought of making you an official?

396

His Majesty most likely gave me this position because of my hedonistic reputation.

397

No one really likes to do a tiring job like this. If you're able to do it well, then that would be a surprise.

398

If you can't, it's not frightening either.

399

Husband, you're naturally smart. It's impossible that you won't be able to do it well.

400

If not because of my status, I fear that no one would be willing to bother with me.

401

Your status is given to you at birth.

402

Others couldn't even have that one even if they want to.

403

His Majesty marrying me off to you is a blessing and he hopes that in the future, you could be my support.

404

I'm going to be your support?

405

What joke are you saying?

406

I'm not.

407

Since time immemorial, good subjects, generals, and ministers haven't ended well.

408

His Majesty married me off to you,

409

first, because he wants me to continue working for the government.

410

Second, he wants the military power of the Ye Army to belong to the country.

411

This way, my descendants will inherit the royal status of Nanping Junwang and not only the Ye family status.

412

There I believe you. That sounds like what what weasel would do.

413

- Let me ask you a question.

- Ask.

414

Tell me. We had never met before. Why then did you choose to marry me?

415

Could it be that my character, taste in wine, and gambling habits, all three in one, are being sung as odes in Jianghu?

416

Bullshit!

417

- You can't call it bullshit!

- Why can't I say it's bullshit?

418

You are not a scoundrel. You're a hero. I'm the scoundrel.

419

You are the pillar of the government. I'm Song's garbage.

420

After three years, when you divorce me,

421

you can choose a man that you love. You don't need to live your days with a local scoundrel like me anymore.

422

Who told you that you're a local scoundrel?

423

Everyone is saying it! Those barbaric people in your military camp also think so, too.

424

What's funny about that?

425

Look at you. You even call yourself a local ruffian?

426

Since the age of twelve, I've been running in an unrestrained manner on the borders.

427

I tease beautiful women. Other than I having never hit a woman or a child,

428

what bad things have I not done? Kind people would pray every day to wish that I die sooner.

429

Even my father almost kicked me out of our clan.

430

The absurd and evil things I've done when I was young are too many to be written down.

431

Let's not talk about it anymore. The absurd things that I've done

432

are way more than yours.

433

A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.

434

As long as you mend your ways, everyone will forgive you.

435

Yes.

436

If this was how I used to be, I would have beaten you to death for your action earlier.

437

It's good that you've changed that now.

438

Since you're married to me, you're now happily part of the Zhao clan.

439

All our future children will then have the surname "Zhao."

440

But from the looks of it now, my children are destined to not have the surname Zhao.

441

What will they have then?

442

Don't forget. The divorce letter has been written.

443

After our divorce, if you can't find a good family

444

and no man wants you, you can still come back.

445

You are going to reinstate me as your wife? Husband, this is what you said. You can't take it back.

446

Bullshit! Let me tell you, don't start climbing up just because I handed you a pole!

447

If you come back, at best you will be my tongfang maid!

448

You can be my bodyguard at the same time, too.

449

I won't return then. While I'm alone outside, I'll be able to live a more carefree and happy life. So great.

450

Why do you speak so much nonsense?

451

Eat the meat now.

452

You're a woman, so why would you want to be idle, carefree, and happy all day?

453

Trying to rebel?

454

Eat the meat now.

455

Junwang, stop pacing up and down. You are making us dizzy.

456

After thinking about it, against my conscience, I seemed to have come up with a few good traits of Ye Zhao.

457

Tell us about them.

458

For example, she doesn't get jealous. She won't be like the wife of "Gentleman in Attendance" Xu

459

- who chased him around for five streets with a cooking knife just because he went to a brothel.

- Right. What else?

460

Also, my mother doesn't like Eldest Sister-in-law.

461

She keeps feeling that her status is lowly and not noble-spirited. No matter how she tries to amuse her, it doesn't work.

462

But since Ye Zhao joined the family,

463

her good feelings towards Eldest Sister-in-law have sharply increased. She likes her the more she looks at her now.

464

This is due to Ye Zhao's merit.

465

What else?

466

Also...

467

Because of being a cripple, my older brother is quite depressed.

468

But now when he gets home after work, he calls the servants into his room to narrate some funny thing about Ye Zhao.

469

After hearing the jokes, he can't stop laughing and his mood has improved.

470

What else?

471

Also, she always consults with me as to which restaurant has the best red wine,

472

which restaurant has many beautiful girls. Those kinds of matters.

473

After thinking about this, I couldn't find any problems with her personality.

474

This is also okay?

475

Then you've become more generous about her.

476

Junwang, as they say, life is full of helplessness.

477

We can only slowly become magnanimous.

478

Brother, I'll give you my support.

479

From now on, you only need to be more patient and more shameless,

480

withstand those rumors, keep the divorce letter well, and continue educating, reforming, and changing her.

481

Perhaps, you will have a relatively normal life in the future.

482

Yes, Brother Liu, you make sense.

483

- I'm going to do what I say.

- What are you doing?

484

- I'm going home to transform my wife.

- What?

485

- Brother Yujin.

- Brother Yujin.

486

- Husband.

- What are you doing?

487

What are you doing? You only know how to fight and kill every day. Don't you know how to learn some stuff?

488

It's rare of you to personally visit me.

489

I'm here today to teach you how to be a woman.

490

I want you to correct your attitude and be serious in learning.

491

Are you going to teach me?

492

What's wrong? Not happy?

493

No, I'm not.

494

Let's have a mutual exchange then of each other's standards.

495

I'm making it clear now that the one with a lower standard should follow the one with the higher standard.

496

Good advice.

497

Although I'm sickly since I was little, I'm very smart.

498

My teachers are all the present big shots.

499

After summing them up, I'm at least at the level of Xiucai. (T/N: title of second place in civil service exam)

500

Teaching you a bit of the "Three Character Classic" is too easy. (T/N: Confucius for children)

501

Since I began school at eight years old, I've made nine teachers quit from disgust.

502

In the end, it was Hu Qing's father who couldn't endure the request of my father

503

and used two years to finally pour all the "Thousand Character Classic" into my brain, (T/N: third literacy text)

504

allowing me not to become an illiterate.

505

Looks like you are less literate than I am.

506

Let me teach you then.

507

Take this.

508

I will read a phrase and you read one, too.

509

- "A woman is beautiful in virtue for her weakness.

- As a coarse proverb says,"

510

- "A man is born like a wolf.

- It is feared that he develop a weak, hunched back."

511

- "A woman is born like a mouse.

- It is feared that she'll develop into a tiger."

512

"Any woman should learn to proper to conduct oneself first."

513

"In summary, the manner that a proper lady should conduct herself is simply being pure and chaste."

514

"Follow the pure rule and your body will remain clean. Follow the chaste rule and you will earn honor."

515

Student Ye, did you hear what I was saying?

516

Recite to me now the 'fu rong, fu gong, fu de, and fu yan'. (T/N: from Examples for Women, a woman's proper bearing, crafts, conduct, and speech)

517

Feng-Feng yan feng yu (groundless rumors), fen gong (dividing work), fen rou (dividing meat)....

518

Groundless rumors... gossiping is bad.

519

But dividing work and meat is no problem.

520

Damn bastard! You didn't listen to me at all! Did your brain go out to stroll?

521

Let's see how I put you in order.

522

Husband. Husband.

523

The Wolf's Fang Club is very heavy. Be careful not to hit your foot with it.

524

Don't be angry. I get distracted when I'm studying.

525

When you are usually playing with your sword, why don't you get distracted?

526

How could I get distracted with that?

527

Stop.

528

Wife, what kind of precious sword is this?

529

This is Huqing. I spent a lot of money to get this noble sword.

530

Let me take a look.

531

- Is this sword very sharp?

- Absolutely.

532

- Will it be able to cut a person to death?

- Of course.

533

- Will it be able to cut you to death?

- What do you mean?

534

I don't believe that I can't cut you to death. You crazy woman without any artistic skill!

535

Crazy woman, stop there. I'm going to cut you to death.

536

Stop there. Don't run off, stand still!

537

Woman without any artistic skill, I'm going to cut you to death.

538

Stop there.

539

Stop there. Still trying to run away? Running?

540

Husband.

541

Maybe I restricted and protected Yujin too much,

542

that's why he developed a weak physique and a naughty personality.

543

When you passed away, all matters in the family

544

were handled by me alone.

545

Yujin is young and sickly. I keep worrying that he'll encounter some misfortunes.

546

I could only lock him inside the house and ground him.

547

I initially planned to block the wind and rain for him and protect him a lifetime.

548

But never thought that when Yujin grew up...

549

he'd become a useless, unambitious person in the eyes of others.

550

Husband. Dear Husband!

551

Hearing others saying that my son is useless...

552

my heart is in pain.

553

So painful that I want to leave this world.

554

Thousands and thousands of mistakes your wife has made over this lifetime. (T/N: she feels at fault)

555

Mother-in-law.

556

Why are you crying?

557

It's nothing.

558

Could it be because Yujin is about to leave our manor,

559

that's why you are sad?

560

For Yujin to have his own manor, I should be happy.

561

I'm just worried that when he's alone,

562

he will suffer humiliation and hardship under his fierce wife.

563

I won't be able to be by his side to take care of him.
