[Family of Books and Ritual]

Mr. Liu

had bloodshot eyes

and was eager to see you.

It turned out that he couldn't cover up the matter any more

and wanted to see the person in charge.

Actually, my father

is not only their investor.

The time when my father

was going to marry my mother,

he was ostracized from the Zhou family.

Fortunately, he had his old friends

that supported him.

Now they are in trouble,

we should help them out as much as we can.

Are you two having a meeting now?

Just some chit chat.

Why are you here?

It's my brother's place,

am I not allowed to come?

You got a problem?

Of course not,

Your Ladyship.

Mother wants you to join us for the Shaoxing Opera.

Is today a festival or something?

Why are they doing a Shaoxing Opera show?

It's because of my brother.

For me?

The people who were here to pay their respects to the ancestors

haven't left,

instead they stayed

to attend your engagement banquet.

Don't you think they would get bored quickly

staying here in the mountains without any entertainment?

Mother felt sorry

and called some of her old friends

to perform for a few nights.

Just so they wouldn't get bored.

So are you two coming or not?

I'm fine with anything.

It's up to your brother.

Let's go, Chen.

Well, then...

Come on.

Come with me.

♫Three years of studying together nurtures a deep love♫

[Lotus Fragrance Pavilion]

♫Shanbo was reluctant to part with Zhu Yingtai♫

♫They accompanied each other to go down the hill♫

♫And soon ascended the Qiantang road♫

Chen,

I saved a spot for you in the front.

Chen.

I'll sit here.

Now you see?

It's better to sit behind.

You get to leave anytime.

I did a lot of talking to persuade them to come,

now are you trying to ask them to leave?

No, I am not.

You know you are in poor health

and you can't afford to have a cold,

yet you are not wearing more layers.

Now that you're at this age,

you've become meaner.

I know you are not a big fan of these shows.

If you want to leave, just sneak out.

Why would you take it out on me?

Because I know our brother is here.

Ren is right.

You should keep yourself warm.

Here. Put this on.

♫Please have a safe journey home, Zhu♫

♫-Please, Liang. -Please, Zhu♫

♫Out of the city♫

Why is your brother not here?

♫And crossed the Pass♫

I heard that father's friends came to him.

They needed some help.

I guess he's not in a mood as he just got back.

The friends your father made in the early years

are all honest men.

We must give them as much help as we can.

That's for sure.

Before Chen returned,

they often came to me.

Song.

Go to ask the chef

if they had something after they came back.

Okay.

♫Another mountain lies before us♫

♫It is the Phoenix Mountain♫

♫Flowers on the Phenix Mountain were in full blossom♫

♫Yet missing the peonies♫

[Lotus Fragrance Pavilion]

[Reception Office]

Sorry, excuse me.

It's already so late. Who are you?

Would you mind opening the door, please?

The factory has halted production.

No one is allowed to go in or out.

I am Zhousheng Chen,

I was here during the daytime.

Zhang!

Zhousheng Chen?

Who is it?

It's you.

Let him in.

I have to ask.

There's already no one in the factory,

what are you coming here for?

I want to go to the laboratory.

The laboratory?

It's on the third floor, the room at the end of the hall.

Okay, thanks.

[Family of Books and Ritual]

♫With mild wind and bright sunlight, the flowers look beautiful♫

Zhousheng Xing.

You are old now.

Am I?

It's not just me.

Every one of us here is old.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I remember that

when we were in high school,

Qin Wan was still learning from her teacher,

and you would pick up her every day.

How time flies.

Now half of our life is gone.

♫Walking through the Green Pine Ridge♫

Where is Chen?

He went out.

How rude of him to leave without informing us.

♫Let's take a break in the pavilion♫

Hello, Mr. Zhao.

I am locked inside the printing factory.

Can you get someone here

to open the door?

Thank you.

Why are you here?

I knew you would be here.

Open the door.

It's locked.

Someone is taking it out on you

because the production was halted.

I mean, it's in the middle of the night.

Why did you even come here?

I came to get some water sample

and send it to my students for testing.

I thought they had admitted

they were exceeding the standards.

What's the test for?

I just want to find out

how bad it was?

Hello?

Hi, Wenchuan.

I am Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao.

Here's the thing.

Your brother,

he is locked in the printing factory.

I just

had some wine,

so I can't drive.

If it's not too troubling,

are you available now to go there?

Okay, I'll handle it.

Okay, okay.

I appreciate it.

Uncle, Mother.

Wenchuan,

Mei Xing says Chen is locked

in a small factory

for three hours already

and no one is there to open the door.

I will check it out.

Wenchuan.

Wenchuan.

You are not well,

why did you come out?

There's something

I shouldn't speak in front of our mother.

Mei Xing says that

Uncle Zhao asked you about this.

You said you would go

and told everyone to leave this to you.

That's not what happened!

What I told Uncle Zhao was

no matter who locked the door,

the priority is to get Chen out.

I suppose gossip

is a sure way of twisting people's words.

Anything else?

I will go pick him up then.

Come back soon.

[Reception Office]

You're here as well, Mr. Mei.

Before you returned,

they would come to me every now and then.

At first, I thought

they were father's old friends,

so I tried to help them as much as I can.

Until I finally realized

I couldn't handle them at all.

They must be

ill-treating you since you just came back

and had little idea of what's going on.

Perhaps they thought you were more gullible than I am.

In fact, they just want your money.

They want you to invest in them endlessly.

What's that?

Water sample.

Scientists always do things differently.

Here's my advice.

The crueler you are, the less trouble you will have.

I have to go now.

Actually,

your younger brother

is more suitable to do business than you.

Unfortunately,

his mind is evil.

Come in.

Xiaoyu is still in bed.

A girl who has never been in a relationship

sure has all the energy in the world

when she gets a boyfriend.

Don't mind me.

Enjoy your time.

I take my leave.

Take a seat.

Did you drive back on your own?

Yeah.

It's so dangerous to drive at night.

Don't do that anymore.

There wasn't anything urgent anyway.

Okay.

Take a seat.

I am sorry.

Have a seat.

I promised

to take you to see the wedding house.

The house won't run away,

neither will I.

They happen to be sticking the wallpaper in the master bedroom today.

I want you to have a look

and see if you like it or not.

Oh, and the bed has also arrived.

Uncle Lin didn't tell me

what's it like in the living room

and I have no clue either.

We can check it out when we get there.

But Uncle Lin did say

we are both

somewhat introverted.

So the living room doesn't really matter.

The study and the bedroom would be more important.

The most important thing right now

is your breakfast.

What do you want to have?

Breakfast?

The cereal the other day

would be good.

I gave you that

because there was nothing left at home that day.

It's okay, I like it.

Okay, wait here.

Come on in.

Is this your house?

My father left it to me.

It is still being redecorated.

You can only move into

the wedding house

after your marriage.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Show me around.

Okay.

This study room

will be yours in the future.

I will use the other one.

[Shi Yi]

What's this?

I asked someone to make a stamp with your name

and stamped them here.

What's it for?

The invitation cards would be stamped using a wooden carved stamp.

I asked them to let you pick the font first.

What type of font would your family prefer?

The seniors at home

prefer the Tang style.

They like neat and properly written regular script characters.

Among four great regular script calligraphers,

only Zhao Mengfu was from the Yuan Dynasty.

Since they prefer the Tang Dynasty,

we will choose from the rest of the three.

I quite like Yan Zhenqin's works.

However, he died of unjust treatment.

I suppose it is ominous to use that.

After all, we are having a wedding.

Forget it.

The Liu style.

The Liu style is a bit too serious.

Maybe it won't fit well on an engagement invitation letter.

[Shi Yi]

Since we rule out the former three.

Let's use the last one then.

You two are putting so much thinking into picking the right font

for your engagement invitation letter.

I can imagine

how much trouble you will have for your wedding.

Shi Yi, since you are free,

let's go and try on your dress.

Go give it a try.

Okay.

Why are there so many of them?

It can't be helped.

Our families have been very close to each other for generations.

We will make as many dresses

as we are told.

Do you like them?

Since this is your engagement banquet,

these sample dresses

were made by my brothers and I.

Your wedding dress on the other hand,

would be tailored by my grandma.

The dress she'll make for you would not only be beautiful.

My grandma barely made any dress

after she turned 70.

The last time she made a dress was for Zhousheng Chen's mother.

That was also a wedding dress.

That was at least 28 years ago then.

25 years.

Zhousheng Chen is 28.

But his mother got married

25 years ago?

Choose the one you like.

For us tailors,

people and clothes have a connection.

The one you like at first sight

is the one that suits you the most

and the one that looks the best on you.

I knew it would be that one.

It was pretty obvious that you took a few more glances at it

when I was hanging it.

Let me try it.

I know your grandma is old,

can she still take the workload of making dresses?

She is in good health.

The reason she doesn't make clothes for other people

is not because she can't.

It's because ever since my grandfather passed away,

she didn't have the mood

to make festive dresses anymore.

Why

do they all love Qipaos?

Their family and ours are pretty alike.

Our families became wealthy during the last century,

in the 1930s and 40s.

At that time, the Qipao was fashionable

and trendy.

My aunties' closets

are full of them.

It's a mark of their generation.

And now that habit has become second nature to them.

After this habit takes root,

it becomes a rule that restricts people.

Very clever.

This dress suits you very well.

It belongs to you.

The decorations at the cuffs can be taken out.

A beauty like you does not need a complicated dress.

Less is more.

Try the next one.

Hold on.

I want to go downstairs.

Why did you come downstairs?

I was thinking of

going upstairs to find you

when you were done.

Does it look good?

Yeah.

Come on in.

Chen.

What brings you here?

I heard that you and my sister-in-law

would come here to see the wedding house today.

As I've never met my sister-in-law,

I stopped by for a visit.

I am Wenchuan.

Nice to meet you.

This is my wife, Tong Jiaren.

Nice to meet you.

The two of you

seldom see each other.

How about staying for dinner?

I will get things ready.

Okay.

Shi Yi,

go upstairs to continue trying out the dresses.

You guys can wait for me in the living room.

I will go help Uncle Lin.

I will make some adjustments to the dress when I go back.

When I get to Zhenjiang,

I will take them to the Zhou Residence to have you try them.

You said

the two of you were not only colleagues,

but studied in the same school as well.

He is a lot smarter than me.

While I was still studying for my undergraduate degree,

he was already

a doctoral degree holder.

My brother is a

genius with an IQ score of 190.

He went to university

at 17

and got his doctoral degree at 19.

But as far as I know,

according to the Guinness Book of World Records,

the person who has the highest IQ ever recorded

is not my brother.

There is another person

who got a PhD in physics at 15.

Shi Yi.

Let me in on your secret.

How do you manage to keep in shape?

I don't try to keep myself in shape.

I do aerobics every day till midnight

and do yoga in the morning.

I don't even have staple food anymore,

but still, it doesn't work.

Grandma might have a heart attack

if she hears the noise you make when doing aerobics.

I actually do know of a way

to lose weight.

Utilizing acupuncture

or doing a belly massage.

It promotes urination and draws out the excess water, while simultaneously promoting metabolism.

As long as your metabolism is good,

your body will not store

too much fat or trash.

Thus, you can lose weight.

But be aware

that acupoint might cause your body to become heaty.

Remember to drink some warm water

before and after the acupuncture session.

Okay, I got it.

You know about acupuncture points too?

Just a little.

When did you learn that?

A long time ago.

When I was young, I had poor health

and visited the Chinese medicine doctor a lot.

Because of that, I became interested in the subject

and signed up for a class.

I learnt a bit.

Maybe I can give you a treatment someday.

No need, I am fine.

Your posture must be pretty bad

when you work on experiments.

That's why your neck must be stiff.

Let me have a go at it.

If you don't think it works,

then I will stop.

Your work is already very tiring.

If you need to give me acupuncture at night,

you might not get enough rest.

I won't get tired

if it's for you.

All right.

I had an appointment with my friend.

You guys continue without me.

I have to go now.

Let me give you a ride.

It's fine.

Do you like this?

I was just having that.

It's very delicious.

Man.

Man.

I thought you already left.

Let me drive you home.

No, it's okay.

You knew how much effort I had to put in

in order to take over

what my father had.

You are so smart.

What happened just now,

you definitely know what's going on.

You know very well

who she cares about and loves.

I can see that,

your wife has a crush on your big brother.

I am not the eldest son

and I only have my mother's support.

Thus I can only accept

who she tells me to marry.

Yes.

I owe you more than an apology.

You are a married man.

Act like one, please.

[With long eyebrows and beautiful, striking eyes, the man is charming and irresistible]

[the man is charming]

[and irresistible]

It's already late,

why aren't you in bed?

Did you write this?

I wrote it when I was bored.

Have you read it?

The whole passage.

The rhapsody Shanglin fu.

Can you give this to me?

If you like it,

I could put in more effort to write another one.

I scribbled this down previously.

No, I'll take this.

All right.

[Bones of a Great Man]

[In this world, very few people have got great bone structure. Some may have good bone structure, but not beautiful facial features; many have beautiful facial features, but not good bone structure.]

[Most people are shallow, for they only see the beautiful facial features, but not good bone structure.]

[With long eyebrows and beautiful, striking eyes, the man is charming and irresistible]

What's up?

In the past, you would never waste a minute

when you travelled

between Zhenjiang and Shanghai.

You would either read a book,

or a magazine.

This is the first time I see you zoning out.

Zoning out for a girl too.

You've put in effort

in designing the invitation letters.

The handwriting looks great.

He wrote it.

The engagement banquet is on next Saturday.

When I asked Shi Yi

to give me a list of her relatives she wants to invite,

she said she's fine

as long as you two are present.

Other families

only hold a wedding banquet.

And their present will be recorded

so they can return a gift in the future.

If we ask our friends and relatives

to come to our engagement banquet.

Do they need to bring gifts?

If not,

they won't feel right.

If they do, then I would feel embarrassed.

My daughter Shi Yi

never cared about

these social conventions in the past.

But she changed a lot

after she met you.

It has nothing to do with him.

It's my opinion.

My family will definitely send gifts in return.

The gifts we return

will surely be of higher value.

So, please don't be too concerned.

Let's forget it.

Let's stick to

your family tradition.

Let's just treat it as a formality.

I agree.

Shi Yi's mother and I,

as parents from the girl's side,

will definitely come.

As for other relatives,

they can come to the wedding.

I think it depends

on the scale.

If it's a grand banquet,

it would seem disrespectful

if only the two of us went.

By the way, Chen.

Where is your family going

to hold

the engagement banquet?

And how many tables would there be?

Right now, it's 16 tables.

We are not going to hold it outside.

We'll have it at home.

They have a big family.

There are not as many people in our family.

Nor are there as many relatives.

How about this?

Let's say we

invite your uncle's family,

along with your grandma and grandpa.

So, we could sit at one table.

Yeah.

That wouldn't be disrespectful, right?

It's all up to you actually.

You don't have to care about

our family traditions.

This matter

is actually giving me a headache.

Well, every family gets their own problems.

In my opinion,

it may be because

you have a lot of family members,

that's why there are a lot of things to worry about.

Honey, what are you talking about?

Who would say his future son-in-law's

got too many things to worry about?

Seriously.

It's just chit-chat.

Right, you guys continue.

I, I will make a call

to your uncle.

The bond between each other

is sometimes hard to explain.

You two are now engaged

but we two

haven't had a proper conversation

or spent some time with each other.

What hobbies do you have?

Playing chess.

Go?

Chess?

I can play them all.

Backgammon is fine, too.

You know how to play Backgammon?

Dad, you've found an opponent now.

Board games are good.

How a person is, is shown by the way he plays chess.

Your innate characters,

and even how generous you are,

everything is displayed on the chess board

Nothing can hide.

Let's find time to play!

Okay.

My dad seems to like you very much.

This is my first time being a son-in-law.

I don't have much experience.

I am just trying to do my best.

Then you need to impress him.

For the game later,

is it better for me to win,

or to lose?

What do you think?

Whether I win or lose,

I need to be respectful and friendly.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Place it more to the inside.

How unsightly!

Will do, Sir!

I'm warning you!

You better do a good job at setting up the wiring.

There are many people wearing high heels

this month.

It would be disastrous if someone tripped!

Sui.

You're up early.

Have you had breakfast?

I did.

Why don't you put the sheet on?

They will come tomorrow.

This is ridiculous.

I will do it tomorrow morning.

No one will be sleeping on it tonight.

It will gather dust.

It's just one night.

How dusty can it be?

You should just put it on.

They won't notice the dust anyways.

Where dust is visible to your naked eye

is called the ancient tomb.

Is it sweet?

Yeah.

Are you tired when you are sitting there?

Not...not really.

Why are you still sitting there?

Do the cleaning!

From tomorrow on, remember,

you shouldn't come here without permission.

Why is that?

They aren't sleeping together, right?

Are you even a man?

I am.

I thought you knew men very well.

All right, I got it.

Madame Sui, where else should I clean?

The whole place.

Got it.

Still alive?

[Lotus Fragrance Pavilion]

Are you envious?

This is what the eldest son gets.

It's even more grand than our wedding.

Aren't you supposed to be happy

that your big brother is getting married?

Yeah, I am.

How about you?

As his sister-in-law,

aren't you supposed to prepare a gift for him?

My parents have done that.

Thank you.

How are you doing?

Are you nervous?

I'm all right.

That didn't sound honest.

It's just whenever I think about going to their place,

the first thing that comes to my mind

is always his mother's face.

That's why I am a bit scared.

The relationship between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws

has always been a topic of Asian culture.

And always the trigger that leads to domestic problems.

Even a beauty like you

cannot run away from it.

Why don't you help me figure it out

instead of making it even worse?

We can't help you

with something like this.

However,

you will live in Shanghai in the future

and his mother will live in Zhenjiang.

Which means you will only see her, once a month.

Don't be afraid.

You've got a point.

Actually, what I am most nervous about

is that I am going to

move in with him soon.

Soon.

Tomorrow night.

You girls feel me?

Totally!

That's why I came here

to give you some encouragement.

Matters like this.

Do it or not,

you will need to face it eventually.

I am not trying to avoid it.

We are not having an affair.

Why should I hide!

It seems someone is not nervous.

She's actually looking forward to it.

Even her heart is racing.

But honestly,

what stage are you guys in now?

Yeah!

Who's got the problem?

I think it's Zhousheng Chen.

It must be him.

Our dear Shi Yi

is as healthy as an ox.

And her mental health is great.

Stop it.

It's not the right time yet.

Maybe it's

our Shi Yi who's got the problem.

We can't only blame the guy.

You two definitely need to stay together for two weeks.

Here's a little advice.

Men

cares about practicality.

You should take your shot, Shi Yi.

Stop fooling around.

You're already 27. You can't be shy about this!

I am looking for a bag to put my shoes in.

Staying there

I need at least a pair of high heels,

a pair of flats,

and a pair of sneakers.

Oh yeah,

do you think I need to bring a pair of rain boots?

They live

deep in the mountains, right?

I guess you do.

What if you come across some muddy roads?

Their home is connected to the main roads!

You are back.

Who's going to pick up the bride tomorrow?

I am a bit worried,

so I came back to have a look.

I will leave soon.

Don't address her

as the bride.

Why not?

Just because his mother doesn't like Shi Yi?

It's none of my concern whether she likes Shi Yi or not.

Marriage is a very formal thing

for a girl.

We need to follow the steps.

They are currently engaged.

It's not their wedding yet.

That's why she's not a bride yet.

I see.

This place

is finally going to have

a hostess living here.

Allow me.

Where is Uncle Lin?

Uncle Lin and Chen went to the wedding house.

They asked me to pick you up.

You need to go to the recording studio first, right?

Yeah, I have a recording session in the morning.

I heard from my uncle

that you have recording sessions

every month.

They are all about

doing charity and making donation

with some famous voice actors and radio anchors.

Yeah.

We have been doing it for 3 to 4 years.

It's like a get-together for some old friends.

Just for fun.

But how do you do charity with recordings?

We have a fixed number of listeners.

So we can do a program

and insert charity advertisements in between sections.

Other times we would compete with one another.

With one person representing one project.

Whoever wins,

the sponsor of the program

will donate the

to that project.

Having skills sure is nice.

Even if you're only doing a good deed, there would still be people to help you. .

Hope in.
