[Episode 6]

Cuixi, can't you present this Chinese silk tapestry outfit on another year?

It wasn't easy for Baoqin to cut silk for a piece of garment this year as a gift for mother's birthday.

Not only did you cut one, you even did it to suit mother's intention.

How could you humiliate her?

Eldest Master, I have been with the Ren family for ten years.

I would present an outfit to Old Madam every year.

Perhaps, an embroidery or a Chinese silk tapestry.

This is my filial piety to Old Madam

and also, the homework that she assigned to me.

You have never cared about my usual matters. I don't blame you.

However, if you care about something next time,

and wants to please Old Madam, please let me know in advance.

I can be prepared lest I'm caught off-guard

and cause you to lose your dignity.

I...

Speak prudently and act persistently

Zhiyi Workshop has completed.

Mingcheng Workshop has completed.

Qingfeng Workshop has completed.

Qingyue Workshop has completed.

Yiren Workshop has completed.

[Qingyue Workshop]

Yihe Workshop has completed.

Look, the eldest mistress of Ren family has already left.

Look at how exquisitely she completed the Spendid Golden Pheasant Pattern.

I think we can stop weaving.

This is a competition. We should finished weaving before we talk again.

- Lord Cao, after you.
- Lord Li, after you.

Lords, these are the top ten major silk shops in Suzhou who completed the competition.

Please observe carefully.

[Zhiyi Workshop]

This is Yihe Workshop.

[Yihe Workshop]

My lord, this way please.

[Qingyue Workshop]

This is Fengbo Workshop's Xinshao Pattern.

The ornate artwork is engraved in details and splendor. Not bad.

This is the Splendid Golden Pheasant Pattern by Qingyue Workshop.

This scroll looks nice.

Beautiful.

Lord Li, take a look. The primary and secondary levels are very distinct.

The wealth and glory, joy and harmony are highlighted.

The Chinese silk tapestry skill of the eldest mistress of the Ren family's Qingyue Workshop

has indeed reached its pinnacle.

Thank you, Lord.

Isn't that so, Lord Li?

Take a look at how vivid the clouds are.

The sky and iridescent clouds

- are created from Chinese silk tapestry?
- Yes.

This bird...

But the feathers of this golden pheasant

are created from embroidery.

Lord, they are indeed embroidered.

[Qingyue Workshop]

[Yiren Workshop]

This competition is for Chinese silk tapestry.

However, when I look at this round,

why does it seem that almost everyone used embroidery

for their Chinese silk tapestry?

LOrd, Chinese silk tapestry is through the warp and weft techniques.

The complicated pattern needs to be expressed using the weft technique.

Chinese silk tapestry can't be woven. Hence, only embroidery can be used to make up for it.

The eldest mistress of Ren family integrated embroidery with Chinese silk tapestry.

Her artistic skill surpasses everyone.

Great judgement.

Lord Li, everyone. Whether it's Chinese silk tapestry or embroidery,

anyway, from what I see,

the pattern of the Splendid Golden Pheasant from the eldest mistress of Ren family takes the first prize!

Indeed.

I don't agree.

Is there no one else who can use Chinese silk tapestry to complete this pattern?

Qingyue Small Workshop completed the Apricot Blossom Pattern.

Qingyue Small Workshop?

My lord, please have a look.

Shu De Hall

Apricot Blossom Pattern?

This is Zhao Chang's painting?

Lord, you have great judgement.

This is defintely Zhao Chang's painting from the Song dynasty.

Lord, there are many levels in it

and it could even be fully completed by using Chinese silk tapestry.

The hook lines are meticulous.

The silk lines are like handwriting.

There's a graduation of colors in the apricot blossoms.

In spite of this, it looks like painted by a brush.

This seems to be a new technique.

This is known as the Contrary Color technique.

Contrary Color technique?

Good. It's really good.

Being able to obtain a new Chinese silk tapestry technique at today's event

is indeed a blessing.

Even more so, this apricot blossom is full of spring in the garden.

The person for this apricot is also a blessing.

It's a good omen and has a better meaning.

What's most valuable is that this pattern

is fully completed by using Chinese silk tapestry.

It fully meets the criteria for this competition.

I think, for today's competition,

we should accept this Apricot Blossom Pattern as the winner.

Everyone, what do you think?

Lord, you are right.

Eldest Master, look.

I've woven from your drawing.

That fast?

Although it's good,

but there are places that need embroidery to achieve what silk weaving cannot.

Even though it's commonly done, but I've alway thought

Weaving and embroidery are two different methods.

When they are mixed, it doesn't give a feeling of a perfectly integrated match.

Only use silk weaving without embroidery?

There is such a technique?

Ask Mother. Maybe she knows?

Only use silk weaving without embroidary?

I've never heard of this technique.

- But...
- Come.

Cuixi, let me take a look at your handiwork.

Has it improved even more?

Qingyue Little Workshop's Apricot Blossoms wins.

New leading weaver of Suzhou, Qingyue Little Workshop's Shopkeeper

Ren Rufeng, please come up to the podium.

Rufeng, now that your Qingyu Little Workshop's Apricot Blossoms has won,

you are naturally the new leading weaver.

I shall not disappoint my lord's appointment.

Good, then I will wait for you, the new leading weaver,

to buy silk and recruit workers for the Suzhu Weaving Bureau.

Yes.

Let's leave.

Sister Shu Fang, what does it mean by buying silk and recruiting workers?

The Weaving Bureau will buy silk and hire weaving workers to weave silk tapestry for the royal court.

Wouldn't it be like our Qingyu Workshop then?

Hasn't Qingyu Workshop all these years been hiring workers to weave silk tapestry?

Go.

[Qingyu Little Workshop]

Eldest Madam

Eldest Madam, my lady wants to see you.

Eldest Mistress, don't go there. Who knows what schemes they are planning?

Qingyue LIttle Workshop has been given the title of leading weaver.

When the leading weaver wants to see the weaving workshop, I don't have any reason to refuse.

Come in.

Mother treats me well. She's given me a room that is next to the water view.

Open the window and you can see the scenery outside.

Whenever I am free, I'd sit over there and play the qin.

Playing the qin, looking at the view, reading books...

My days are about the same as before.

Baoqin.

I'm here to take you home.

I won't go back with you.

You can come see me.

I can already die without regrets.

I'll say it again. I'm here to take you home. If you don't go, I won't leave.

You take a music performer home.

What for?

Xuetang, once I've been in a brothel,

I'm a performer.
(T/N: Condemned noble family's women are penalized to become performers or prostitutes)

No matter how long I stay here,

even for a day or an hour,

I'm a performer for life.

The Zeng Baoqin you knew back then,

she already died.

The girl standing in front of you now

is no longer

a noble family's daughter who can be paired with the Reng family's eldest young master.

She is only

a lowly woman from the brothel.

Baoqin.

Baoqin.

Did you forget?

We grew up together.

We ate together. We played together.

We read books. We drew pictures.

We also went to see the dragon boats.

Do you still remember?

We are soulmates. As soulmates,

I know your heart and your person.

I know the world is a difficult place for women.

I don't care about anything else.

I only know that you are Zeng Baoqin.

You are the wife that I've wanted to marry since I was young.

It's fine.

If you don't feel assured,

I can pledge an oath. If I ever mistreat you in the future,

or even mention the brothel, I will be struck by lightening...

I'll go back with you.

I'll go back with you.

Yes.

I, Zeng Baoqin, greets Eldest Mistress of the Ren family.

Why are you looking for me?

Do you not concede the defeat?

Everyone knows that Old Madam liked you and appreciated you.

But people also know that you are not the one that Xuetang loves.

She feared that if you and Xuetang would break up someday,

you would do something to ruin the Ren family.

That's why she kept a move to guard against you.

She did teach you the technique to mix silk weaving techniques.

But her own innovation in gradiant color technique

was taught to Xuetang upon her pending death.

So

Xuetang taught you the gradiant color technique.

Xuetang treats me as his only wife.

He naturally wouldn't conceal anything from me.

So that's all you have to say?

If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.

Shen Cuixi.

You've always loved Xuetang, haven't you?

I am the Eldest Madam in the Ren family.

It's natural and legal for me to love my own man.

Old Madam Ren taught you embroidary, silk weaving,

and housekeeping. She taught you how to be a matriarch of a household.

Except that she didn't teach you how to love your man.

Everyone says that I have a bitter fate. I finally know today,

loving your own man but cannot say it out loud,

Eldest Mistress of Ren family has an even more bitter fate.

Just give it up.

Give it up?

Give up what?

This is a letter that Xuetang gave me before he left.

Xuetang

wrote you a letter?

That's right.

Qin, hope you see my words as if you're seeing me.

You are full of fear after drifting through half of your lifetime.

I haven't had the strength to fully do what I wish, and I'm unable to stay by your side to protect you.

Childhood friends became young lovers. We vowed to follow each other in life and death.

That promise should be carried out.

Our hearts are one until we're white-haired. You are the only one for me.

Once I succeed in my endeavor, I shall follow Dou Tao's example.

- High mountains and long rivers, we will be carefree—
- Enough. Don't read anymore!

Shen Cuixi.

So what that you are controlling the Ren family's business?

Xuetang doesn't have you in his heart.

If Xuetang doesn't have a place for you in his heart, then how can you possibly be a member of the Ren family?

I am the Eldest Madam of the Ren family.

I am the matriarch of the Ren family.

Hmm, that's right.

You only have this empty title left, right?

You took away my child.

It was this empty title that you relied on.

But it's so ironic that

the position of Suzhou's leading weaver, after passing three generations in the Ren family,

has been lost by you, the current matriarch.

You are such a good matriarch. I want to see you

explain this to everyone in the Ren family.

Zeng Baoqin.

The new leading weaver of Suzhou is Ren Rufeng.

He is Ren family's Second Master, a Ren family's descendant.

How did the Ren family ever lose the position of the leading weaver?

Is it fun to argue with forced words?

Shen Cuixi, I'll wait for you to personally hand me back my child.

[Bring Honor to Ancestors and Benefit Future Generations]

Where is Mistress Shen?

Today, she must give an explanation to everyone.

Everything has been fine, so how did she offend the Weaving Bureau?

Stop right there, Rufeng.

What do you plan to do about this family matter?

What family matter?

You are now Suzhou's leading weaver. Xiushan is still young.

You are the one who now needs to make decisions for the family.

Seventh Uncle, what are you saying?

Didn't you already decide to let Xiushan be the patriarch of the Ren family?

Xiushan as the patriarch? He is still a baby, but you are a grown man.

Xuetang encountered trouble. It's natural for you to inherit the family enterprise.

But you weren't capable early on,

that's why the clan continued to entrust the heaven burder to Mistress Shen.

Now that you have stood up.

Then the Ren family doesn't need to let a woman stay in charge.

Don't you understand?

I . . . but I . . . .

Sister-in-law

Mistress Shen, what do you plan to do about the current matter?

Seventh Uncle, please just say whatever you want to say.

No need to beat around the bush.

You hand over the family affairs to Ru Feng.

Ru Feng is Xiushan's uncle.

He will take good care of Xiushan. You have nothing to worry about.

As for yourself,

you can pack up things and move into the small courtyard.

Women should behave and be obedient.

- Seventh Uncle, you don't need to—
- Rufeng, you are still young.

You don't understand the twists and turns in officialdom.

Today, the Weaving Bureau was particularly harsh.

Our Ren family must deal with Mistress Shen

so that we can respond to the Weaving Bureau.

Seventh Uncle, please rest assured.

Let me arrange the people and matters by my side in the next few days.

I will definitely give a proper response to the Ren family.

Okay.

This is Ren family's patriarch tally. With this tally, you not only can take money from any of our stores,

you can also mobilize the crew and goods.

Second Master, I have entrusted the Ren family to you.

You must safeguard it for your elder brother.

I, Rufeng, will surely not disappoint Eldest Sister-in-law.

There is also my maidservant, Shu Fang. She is very familiar with all the family affairs.

If you don't understand anything, just ask her.

As for Xiushan, he is still young. Just let him stay with me then.

[Ren]

Eldest MIstress, you are the matriarch who was married by three matchmakers and

carried into the Ren family on a eight-bearer palanquin.

How can they treat you like this?

Qiao'er, they have given me enough respect.

If it were another family, I would have been kicked out already.

How could I still stay in the small courtyard and keep Xiushan?

Eldest Mistress, Sister Shu Fang has gone to Second Master.

I will go with you to the small courtyard then.

I've already talked to the Ding family. After a few days, I'll send you off to be married.

No. How can I marry at this time? If I leave, who's going to take care of you?

You are being childish.

I'm a grown adult. I can take care of myself.

Qiao Er, this is my gift to you for your dowry.

The tapestry of Ten Thousand Years As Intention.

Eldest Madam, I'm not leaving. Don't chase me away.

Qiao'er, I'm going to the small courtyard.

I don't know which year or which month I'll come out.

You are a young girl like a fresh flower. Don't waste your time to endure the days with me.

These past few days, I've made you suffer.

I was going to marry you off in a grand style.

Now, I can't do it.

Stop crying.

Elfest Mistress, Fu Shen an her daughter have come and want to see you.

Fu Shen, what are you doing?

Eldest Mistress, take Xiao Lan to the courtyard.

Don't talk nonsense. I'm not even taking my personal maids. How can I take your daughter?

Eldest Mistress, you are Xiao Lan's savior.

Now that the savior is in trouble, but we do nothing. Our whole family will not feel at peace.

We'd be criticized our whole lifetime.

Eldest Madam, I beg you.

Please take in Xiao Lan.

- Quick, Xiao Lan.
- Please take me in, Eldest Mistress.

Eldest Madam, please take me in.

I beg you to please take in Xiao Lan.

Fine then. If you are willing to follow me,

then follow.

Eldest Madam.

Give me the bag.

Mistress Shen, we hope that you will behave inside.

Don't leave the courtyard randomly.

An assigned servant will send in your daily needs and supplies.

Go.

[Qingyue Workshop]

-[Qingyue Workshop]

Why is the loom moved out?

Slowly.

What's going on?

Is it because Eldest Mistress got defeated?

It looks like Qingyue Workshop will be emptied out.

Chancellor of Weaving Bureau has issued his order. Who dares to say no?

See?

Ru Feng.

- Seventh Uncle.
- Why did I hear that

you've even moved the looms out of Qingyue Workshop.

What exactly is going on?

The Chancellor of Weaving Bureau ordered to buy silk and recurit workers.

All the weaving workshops in Suzhou are sending in the looms.

Even if you are sending in the looms, you can't empty out the Ren family.

What will everyone in the Ren family, so many mouths, eat and drink?

We've entrusted the Ren family to you.

It's not to ruin the Ren family under your management. Do you understand?

Seventh Uncle, I'm not only Ren family's patriarch now, I'm also Suzhou's leading weaver.

There are countless number of eyes watching our Ren family.

If there is any mistake, that will mean putting the Ren family over the fire to roast.

Seventh Uncle, I must leave first.

This kid! I'm not done talking yet!

We've entrusted the Ren family to you.

It's not to ruin the Ren family under your management. Do you understand?

Here are the latest Expenses Journals. Please have a look.

Shufang. They all say that I'm the one who emptied out the Ren Family.

They say I'm an unworthy descendant.

The Eldest Mistress sent you here to watch over me. Why didn't you say anything bad about me?

You're the master. I'm the servant.

What rights do I have to say anything bad about the Second Master?

That means you will if you can.

I knew it. You all think I've colluded with Concubine Mistress Zeng and set us up on purpose.

But I didn't expect it would turn out like this!

I thought she was just competing against the Eldest Mistress for nothing.

Who knew she would gain support from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau?

It's too late to make those comments. Second Master, why don't you take a look at the Expenses Journals?

I know you don't believe in me. But I still have to say it.

Everything that happened was not my intention.

All in all, I have decided

that I won't fight with the Eldest Mistress or Xiushan anymore.

I'll do my best to manage the Ren Family.

And when Xiushan grows up, I'll give it all back to him.

Look! Isn't that Shopkeeper Ding of the Ren Family?

Now he's established his own business of a silk workshop!

Stop mentioning him. He's ungrateful.

Nobody from that family is a good person.

Master. Shall I set off the firecrackers?

The guests are not all here yet. Let's wait until later.

Okay.

- Shopkeeper Ding! Congratulations!
- Please come inside.

Shopkeeper Ding! Congratulations!

- Shopkeeper Ding! Congratulations!
- Eldest Master Ye. Please come inside.

We've sent out so many invitations.

Only so few people came!

Look at our neighbor. They had an unannounced opening.

The guests came for their reputation.

Among all these people, Eldest Mistress Ren

just had to upset the Director of Suzhou Weaving Bureau!

Look at Zeng Baoqin! She became a friend of the Director of Suzhou Weaving Bureau

and so many people came to fawn on her!

You don't understand. Can you just drop this stepmother's look on your face?

Our son will be back with his bride soon. We have two happy events at the same time today.

The grand opening of Ding's Silk Workshop, and the wedding day of Ding Rong.

Don't make people laugh at us.

Laugh at us? Who's got the nerves to do that?

Besides, when the girl is married into the Ding Family,

she's no longer the Eldest Servant Girl of the Ren Family anymore.

That's a shortsighted view of a woman.

We're a small family. We can't upset the Ren Family!

Shen Cuixi upset the Director of Suzhou Weaving Bureau. How can she still have a chance?

We should have canceled this marriage if we had known this earlier.

If we break our promise, the neighborhood will laugh at us.

And we open our doors for business.

Honesty matters, right?

Forget about it. Now she's married into our family.

We'll take time to teach her our ways.

The wedding cavalcade is arriving soon.

Now set off the firecrackers!

[Ding's Silk Workshop]

Look at the Tapestry of Ten Thousand Years As Intention in the main hall.

It's the dowry that the Eldest Mistress of the Ren Family bestowed on Qiao'er.

First bow, to heaven and earth.

Second bow, to your parents.

Third bow, to your husband or wife.

Into the bridal chamber.

Eldest Mistress. It's getting late. You should go to rest.

I'm fine. I'll keep weaving for a little longer.

Eldest Mistress, you've been working day and night without eating or drinking.

If something happens to you, what will happen

to our Young Master Xiushan?

Here.

Eldest Mistress, the food they sent us these days have been getting worse.

I'm afraid that the servants in the house are doing this to flatter those in power.

What do we do in the future?

How about Xiushan? Is the Nanny getting some good food?

Her food is a bit better compared to us, but it's still a simple meal.

Haven't seen any meat for days.

Next time when Shufang is here, ask her to talk to the Concubine Madam.

Xiushan is still young. He‘s growing up. We have to treat him well.

Yes, I know.

Little Master, how do you feel?

You'll get in the sun and grow taller, right？

"Dim morning dream to be a butterfly,

Amorous heart poured out in cuckoo’s cry."

Eldest Mistress! Eldest Mistress! Something happened!

Li Zhao came to visit with Zeng Baoqin, saying that they are taking Young Master Xiushan away!

I haven't been here for years. Now, everything's still the same as the old days.

It reminds me of the days

when I had tea and discussed poems with you and Brother Xuetang.

I used to think that these were usual days.

But looking at it now, we were so fortunate back then.

What?

Second Master, the Eldest Mistress said

that if you still think of her as your sister-in-law,

please don't let them take away Young Master Xiushan.

The Director of Suzhou Weaving Bureau came here in person. What can I do?

There is a way.

But it depends on whether you're willing to do it.

Director Li came here in person this time to take Xiushan as your disciple. This is Xiushan's honor.

But the child is still too young to be exposed to the wind.

My sister-in-law has been so protective of him, and wouldn't allow me take him out.

What do you mean that she wouldn't allow you to take him out?
