Show Your Skills

Yunmengze Inn

Chengyu, look over there.

Chengyu.

It's cold at night.

Would you like a hand warmer?

No, thanks.

Jinxiu,

Chengyu has got better,

so he isn't afraid of cold.

Much heat may chafe him.

OK.

I'll listen to you.

Chengyu,

it's Fire God Temple

ahead,

which is the most lively place

at the Lantern Festival every year.

Yes.

Does my Mother worry

I'm seen by others?

You doesn't do anything wrong.

Don't worry.

Relax.

There's a constant stream of visitors

tonight.

So many people.

Yunzhao.

Fortunately,

you're here today.

You should thank me.

Yes.

It's crowded ahead.

Are the best lanterns displayed?

Yes.

It's heard

there're unique and novel lanterns

in various styles

this year.

Let's go

and have a look.

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

Go and have a look.

This year's lanterns are really nice.

Do you like

to watch lanterns in the daytime?

Watch lanterns in the daytime?

I think

it's another kind of pleasure

to watch lanterns in the daytime.

I don't like it.

I just like

the colorful lanterns

on the night of the Lantern Festival.

You're still unchanged.

Yunzhao,

what if you meet

Miss Fang

at the lantern show

today?

What if,

indeed?

Let it be.

Let's just

have a good time.

Even if others laugh at

and talk about me,

I don't care.

You indeed have

a detached attitude.

Yes, yes, yes.

There're so many lanterns.

Grandma, look over there.

Grandma,

may I leave

for a while later?

Over there. Over there.

It's the Lantern Festival today.

Enjoy yourselves.

Don't accompany me.

Go and watch lanterns.

Go and watch lanterns.

Go and watch lanterns.

Let's go.

Let me push, Your Ladyship.

OK.

Chengyu,

is it fun to come out?

Yes.

Look over there.

He's surrounded.

Wonderful.

Good move.

Four seasons-15th day.

Person-15th day.

Your Ladyship,

where's the lantern you made?

Why haven't we seen it?

Don't be anxious.

We're almost there.

I just saw there're nuts for sale.

Would you like them?

I'll go and buy some.

Go ahead.

I'm waiting for you here.

Please hold it.

I lost.

Everyone,

does anyone want to challenge?

You wait

and see.

After we enjoy ourselves

to the full,

you can go and challenge,

which will amaze all the onlookers.

Me.

Be careful.

Don't lose,

or you'll lose face.

I admire your superior skills

in the game of go.

I bow to your superior skills.

Childe, you're modest.

That's

what I should

say to you.

Decisive

and thoughtful,

you thought it over before every move.

Your skills are indeed

better than mine.

You didn't win by luck.

But why

didn't you

drop the last piece?

Did you worry about me?

No.

The victory or defeat is obvious.

I didn't need to make an unnecessary move.

I can know your character by your go moves.

I'm impressed with your elegant go style.

I'm glad to play the go game with you.

I'm Ning Yunzhao.

May I

have your name?

Are you Childe Ning?

Yes.

Who is

your teacher?

My deceased father.

Where is your home?

Can I

have another chance

to have a competition with you?

You have superior go skills.

You are also better than I thought.

Here is for you.

Are you comforting me for my failure?

Happy birthday to you.

He was engaged to Zhenzhen.

If Zhenzhen were still alive,

she would be satisfied with the marriage.

I gave the lantern

to him for Zhenzhen.

Yunzhao.

I lost.

When did you accept a lantern?

Who gave you it?

I met a girl

who won me in the go game.

Won you?

You played a go game?

When did you play it?

No.

You're a child prodigy

who could remember every move at 8

and be well versed in go skills at 20.

Who could

win you in the world?

Who is she?

I also want to know.

Your Ladyship,

wait for me.

I finally saw you.

I thought I lost you

in the crowd.

Where's the lantern you made?

Over there.

"Show Your Skills".

Why is the lantern dim?

The lantern is the chessboard

and lanterns on it are pieces.

Now the black player

can win the game by one move.

Whoever makes the right move,

the lantern will light up.

Try. I'll try.

Wait.

Listen to me

before you try.

The 5,000-tael note in the glazed cup

is the prize.

5,000 taels.

Anyone who can let this lantern light up

can win the prize.

5,000 taels.

5,000 taels.

10 taels for each try.

If you have no money,

get out of here.

Your Ladyship,

Is the 5,000-tael note…

Yes.

You take the engagement annulment money of the Ning family…

You take the engagement annulment money of the Ning family as the prize.

If we lose,

we'll suffer.

Don't worry.

Few people can crack it

in this world.

That's good.

That's good.

Then I'll be a looker-on with ease.

Zan,

the streets are crowded with visitors

when lanterns are lit.

I think the Lantern Festival of Zezhou

is as lively

as that of the capital city.

Zan,

you've been tired lately.

Relax yourself.

Let me tell you.

There's a go game today,

with 10 taels of silver for a try.

The winner

can win a 5,000-tael note.

I'm determined to get it.

Determined to get it.

Zan.

Baotang.

Zan, look.

I'll get down to my work.

Don't lead me

to these irrelevant places later.

Zan, here we are.

It's just ahead.

Don't, don't go.

Don't go.

Accompany me to have a try.

Sorry.

Miss Jun of the Fang family sets a go game ahead.

Let's go and have a look.

Go, go, go.

A go game?

With 10 taels of silver,

you can just buy a bottle of top rouge

in a top rouge shop of Zezhou,

buy a set of famille rose teacups

of the Ding kiln,

a tableful of first-class feast at Luyang Restaurant

and a writing brush

made of north wolf's hair.

Your Ladyship,

did you teach him to say that?

No.

Having been in Zezhou for such a long time,

we're indeed short of money.

Zan,

you've changed.

Have I?

No, no, no.

You haven't changed.

You haven't changed.

You haven't changed.

You haven't changed.

Don't hesitate.

You can have a chance to win the 5,000-tael note

with only 10 taels of silver.

It's

a god-given chance.

This keeper

knows a lot.

It seems he must often travel widely.

I, a businessman,

would like to try.

Your Ladyship,

we earned 10 taels.

Look.

Quickly.

I'll try.

It's interesting.

Yunzhao.

It's so difficult.

Yunzhao,

you've been skilled at go games since childhood.

Go and try.

Of an extraordinary mood,

the setter must be clever

and skilled in go games.

But I can't

crack it.

Can't you?

Go and have a try.

It's

a rare chance.

If you don't go,

I'll go later.

It can't be cracked at all.

Chengyu,

this year's lanterns

are much nicer than those in previous years.

They look joyful.

Yes.

Grandma,

that lantern is pretty.

Look at that.

Is it pretty?

Grandma,

do you know

where Zhenzhen is?

Why hasn't she come?

The lantern show is very bustling.

She must enjoy herself a lot

and forget us.

Do you know

where her lantern is?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Grandma,

I'm sort of tired.

Let's go home.

Chengyu,

are you alright?

Yes.

Having been here for a long time,

I'm also tired.

Let's

go back.

Go back.

Grandma,

I haven't enjoyed myself.

Let's go back, Jinxiu.

That lantern is very pretty.

Quickly.

Let me try.

It's a wrong move.

No one wants to try.

Yes.

Me.

I've watched here for a long time.

It isn't

a big deal.

It's important to be happy.

It's wrong.

He lacks self-knowledge.

Me.

No one can crack it.

As a sugar figurine seller,

you're a layman in go.

Don't make trouble

here.

Leave there.

Yes.

I'll show you

my real skill.

He's so confident.

Lay your piece.

Can't you crack it?

You're baffled.

Lay your piece.

Lay your piece.

Take back your silver.

Can you make it?

Can you, indeed?

Can you make it?

Lay your piece.

Lay your piece quickly.

It's hard to make money.

Lay your piece.

Yes.

Can you make it?

It lights up.

It lights up.

It lights up.

5,000 taels.

I cracked it.

I cracked it.

Yunzhao.

I cracked it.

He really made the lantern light up.

I cracked it.

I cracked it.

I cracked it.

I cracked it.

Where is the note?

No matter whether I can play the go games or not,

I cracked it.

Send the rest small bits of silver to my house.

Return our silver to us.

Your Ladyship.

We lost all our silver,

5,000 taels.

How long will it take

to earn so much money?

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

I was kidding.

Just 5,000 taels.

You're so clever

that you can earn it quickly.

I'm not thinking about the lost silver.

Watch out.

Your Ladyship.

Butler Gao,

this is the keeper of your lantern last night,

Lei Zhonglian.

Why are you seated?

It doesn't matter,

Butler Gao.

I saw you last night.

You did a good job.

Did you also go to the scene last night?

I should see

who could crack my composition.

Do you know

who won the prize

in the end?

I heard others call him

Chen Qi.

Yes,

he's Chen Qi,

a sugar figurine seller.

In fact, he…

He can't play the go games.

Really?

Then he won so much silver

by luck.

Mr. Lei,

today I invited you here

to ask you a question.

Did you find something suspicious

after he cracked my composition?

Pay me for guarding your lantern.

Liu'er.

Last night…

Can I ask you a question?

What question?

5,000 taels is enough for you

to spend your life.

Why didn't you take it away?

Childe,

don't look down upon me.

We reached

an agreement.

If you hadn't reminded me,

I might have made a wrong move

and lost the chance to earn several thousand taels of silver.

You're true to your word.

Pay me.

Why?

I lost a sugar figurine.

Zan,

he is so mean.

Two childes of about 20

and one called the other brother,

right?

Since you know it,

why do you still ask me?

Um…

Well.

Lei Zhonglian.

Lei Zhonglian.

You…

What did he do before?

He took care of carriages in a bank.

He has been in our family

for years.

Your Ladyship,

are you angry about

losing so much money yesterday?

No.

They cracked my composition by their skill.

I don't care about who the winner is.

Yunzhao.

No.

Yunzhao.

Yunyan,

you're so naughty.

Yunzhao,

is it worth pondering?

You've watched it

since you came home last night.

I tried to crack

this ancient composition.

You're well versed in go games.

I'm sure you can crack it.

Yunzhao,

the lantern looks good.

I'll take it

and put it together with the one in my room.

No.

I don't have it,

and I'll give it back to you

after placing it in my room for several days.

If you like this kind of lantern,

I'll buy you a new one.

Why do you

come to me?

Our Mother wonders

whether you fix the date of going back to the capital city.

I'll leave in several days.

I'll go and tell our Mother personally.

Yunzhao,

I'm leaving.

OK.

Why didn't you

tell you

before entering?

Santao asked me to come.

Seeing you're

in a good mood,

I didn't disturb you.

Did you have a good time

last night?

Yes.

No wonder

you didn't come to us.

I didn't trouble you,

so surely you could have a good time.

Are you angry with me?

Come on.

It's all my fault.

I watched who could crack my composition

most of the time

and failed to accompany you.

I know

you lost

a big sum of money.

Do you know all that?

Yes.

Grandma told me yesterday

and asked me not to mention it before you.

Then why do you mention it?

I'm glad to do it.

Give me your hand.

You've recovered quickly.

You can take a medicated bath soon.

Don't bother you with it.

Let Santao take care of me.

She also needs to listen to me.

And you and I

will get married.

Don't be shy.

You…

Childe,

you have a visitor.

Miss Jun,

what brings you here?

You managed to crack my composition last night.

Don't you wait for you?

Miss Jun,

what do you mean?

Does the sugar figurine taste good,

Zan?

Miss Jun is extremely intelligent.

I wonder

how you cracked my composition.

I can answer you,

but you should answer me a question first.

OK.

Go ahead.

How did Deshengchang start to go up?

Why do you ask this?

I find

its business is booming,

so I want to learn how to do business

and make some money.

So you came to me

in the lantern shop

and managed to ask me to visit you by winning my 5,000 taels by trick

at the Lantern Festival?

Yes.

I haven't finished.

The customers' information,

such as destinations and names, is recorded

as for the transport of general cargos.

Deshengchang has lots of customers,

so there must be documents.

He's indeed investigating the secret of Zezhou.

You really overestimate me.

I, one beyond the Fang family,

can't know

such a secret.

So can you

answer my question?

Because I am

extremely intelligent.

You…

Come on.

I'm not kidding you.

In fact,

my dad told me it.

When my dad taught me

how to crack this composition,

I listened

very carefully beside.

I'm extremely intelligent,

so I got it soon.

The people beside us

praised me loudly.

They said

I was very clever,

I was a matchless hero

and I was extremely intelligent.

I…

So I'm indeed extremely intelligent.

Zan,

the Sky Pavilion figured out the medicinal materials.

What disease can they treat?

This prescription is used

to treat a stubborn disease.

But such a prescription

with so many detoxification medicinal materials

is rare.

Only one

in the Fang family

suffers from a stubborn disease.

That dying Childe Fang.

Put all medicinal materials aside.

Handle it.

OK, shopkeeper.

Hello, Miss Jun.

Yes.

Have the medicinal materials

I booked last time come?

Yes.

Wait a Motherent.

I'll fetch them for you.

Thank you.

Miss Jun,

would you mind me asking you a question?

Who made the prescription

for you?

What's wrong with it?

No,

it's sort of strange.

Each of these medicinal materials

is effective,

but it's strange

to mix them

in a parcel.

Most of them are used for detoxification.

One or two medicinal materials can work,

but why do you use dozens of them?

As the saying goes,

every medicine has its side effect.

Many of them may accomplish the very opposite.

Miss Jun,

they may not remove the toxins

and even hurt the patient.

Thank you for your tips.

I know about it.

Never mind.

OK.

It's good that you know it.

Please take them.

Thank you.

Miss Jun, see you.

It is a small world.

Is it hard

to meet me?

Do you want to

remove Childe Fang's toxins?

Don't always think yourself clever.

Why did you

buy these medicinal materials?

I'm ignorant.

I wonder what disease can be treated

with dozens of detoxification medicinal materials.

As a doctor,

is it improper for me

to do research with some medicinal materials?

It makes sense.

Miss Jun, listen to me

and think

whether my idea also makes sense.

The Fang family has had the only son for three generations in a row

and been cursed evilly.

It's said Childe Fang

can't live to 16

as he suffers from

the hurt of toxins.

It's an accident if such misfortune happens to one generation

and it's a coincidence

if such misfortune happens to two generations.

Is it strange

if such mischief happens to three generations?

I can't understand your words.

Maybe it's predestined.

Let me make a guess.

In fact, the curse of men of the Fang family

are caused by others, fabricated

and Young Master Fang

was secretly poisoned.

You're so smart.

But it's my duty

to treat Chengyu,

and it has nothing to do with you.

So please don't stop me.

Miss Jun, don't worry.

I won't tell others.

But please

do a favor for me.

Find the list of freight customers

of the Fang family over the years

by virtue of your identity for me.

Your Ladyship.

Here is a letter for you.

Where does it come from?

The Ning family.

Miss Jun,

there was a misunderstanding between the Ning family and the Fang family.

Please go to

Room 3 of the sky level in Jinyun Restaurant

on March 3 for a chat.

Ning Yunzhao.

Jun Zhenzhen,

you'll be tricked definitely.

Yunyan,

your idea is wonderful.

With Childe Ning's letter,

she'll definitely go.

By then

she will be blemished

and won't bother

Childe Ning anymore.

Yes.

But,

do we

go too far?

Aren't you afraid…

So what?

It's her fault.

She shouldn't have blackmailed our Ning family

and humiliated us

again and again.

What I did

is to get even.

Yes.

Your Lady,

drink tea.

Your Lady,

will you go to see Childe Ning by appointment?

This letter was sent by Childe Ning's manservant,

but it doesn't mean that it's written by Childe Ning.

Why?

Childe Ning was born from a scholarly family

and acts magnanimously.

If it was really inconvenient

for him to say something at home,

he probably wouldn't invite me

to a private room

which may stump girls.

Of course, it's just my guess.

Cousin, why didn't you let Mujin send a message as usual,

but let me meet here?

There are so many people in the mansion.

It's too risky to do so.

This matter is very serious.

So we'd better agree on many things ourselves.

In case of mistakes,

even if Mujin can afford it,

can you afford it?

Then let's get to the point.

If it takes a long time, I'm really worried that

Mujin can't cope.

At the lantern show last night, I checked carefully

and found that Chengyu's condition had not improved.

He was still half dead.

It seems that a wedding can't help.

It can't save his life.

But now the only mistake is that

in case Jun Zhenzhen is pregnant with the children of the Fang family

after the wedding…

What do you mean by that?

If Jun Zhenzhen dies,

where can the Fang family find

a woman to marry him voluntarily

in such a short time?

Are you going to kill Jun Zhenzhen?

No one wants to kill her.

She is just unlucky enough

to have an accident.
