❝ The Old Man of Jiangnan ❞ by Lu Hu - Singers: Lu Hu and Liu Xijun

♫ Apricot blossoms fall on the lake surface ♫

♫ The misty rain dissolves away the longing ♫

♫ The face under the oil-paper umbrella ♫

♫ Hasn’t yet lost the youthfulness ♫

♫ Your face in my dreams ♫

♫ Emerged intermittently ♫

♫ I wish I could return to the past ♫

♫ Lying down drunkenly by the river bank ♫

♫ How attached we were when we met ♫

♫ How inseparable we were when we were together ♫

♫ Mandarin ducks and butterflies couldn't see ♫

♫ The great beauty of this world ♫

♫ I’d like to be carried by the wind to Nirvana ♫

♫ But nothing is comparable to you ♫

♫ If the heart never changed ♫

♫ I would have no regrets on the day I died ♫

A person's words can be feigned.

But a person's cannot feign his feelings in his heart.

Kesi is made with painstaking effort.

Each and every thread reflects what the person is thinking in his heart.

Your picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water is better than mine.

It encapsulates the word ‘feeling’.

If I knew that I need to go through such painful heartbreak to know the word 'feeling',

I would rather not know.

Being drunk can solve a thousand worries.

Come.

It's like a dream.

There's a person in the dream,

who cherishes you,

loves you,

understands you.

It's really a dream.

Unfortunately, beautiful dreams

do not always last long.

A person's fate is given by God.

Long or short,

we can't decide ourselves.

You did not let him down. He didn't let you down.

Then that's enough.

Who says I did not let him down?

He's the one who think too much for me.

In order to give consideration for my dignity,

in order to not cause trouble for me,

he has suffered a lot of grievances.

But me?

Zeng Bao Qin,

the person that I love has died.

He died.

He died. I can't even weep for him.

To live like this,

is it still meaningful?

These words just keep it to our conversation today.

Don't mention it anymore in the future.

If a bystander hears it, your life is at stake.

Liang Gong is already gone.

What do I want my life for?

I really wish that I can go with him.

Don't talk nonsense. You still have many things to do.

Qingyue Workshop, General Accounts Office.

And also Xue Tang's matter.

Xue Tang‘s matter is not settled yet.

Li Zhao is still at large in Jiangning.

Enough.

For the Ren family,

for these so-called responsibilities, enough.

Ren Xue Tang is your man.

Getting revenge for him is your job.

I'll just guard Liang Gong.

But Liang Gong would definitely want you to continue living a good life,

right? There's no setback we can't overcome in this world.

Shen Cui Xi,

you came from being a girl of a fisherman's family,

to the matriarch of the Ren family,

to the Suzhou weaving industry,

you've became an amazing woman.

Sister,

you are stronger than anyone.

- I'm not that strong.
- You are.

- I'm not, I'm not!
- You are, you are!

Pull yourself together. Live your life well.

In the future, when you are below the ground,

you can then tell Liang Gong that you lived a good life.

What is considered living a good life?

Do the things that you want to do.

Congratulations to Qingyue Workshop east river branch

for it's grand opening.

Celebration on starting a business, wishing you wealth and fortune in abundance.

i>[Qingyue Workshop]

This way, please.

Congratulations.

Let's go and take a look.

Are you done with the year end accounting?

Eldest Mistress, we've done 80%.

And the interest is already exceeded the total of last year.

Very Good. The annual gift we send to Magistracy Office

has to be double compare to last year.

Yes.

Hey Master,

when you see younger sister later, you must not be like last time.

Got it. How many times must you nag at me?

With your stubborn personality.

She's our God of Fortune now.

You cannot be like last time with your touchy hands.

Got it. Got it.

She's here, she's here.

It's just over there.

Younger sister, you're here.

Younger sister, why are you still wearing these clothes?

Didn't you marry Second Master Ren?

Married him?

Who did you hear this from? There's no such thing.

I will not talk nonsense.

It is spreading widely out there.

Young Master is falling deeply in love with you.

You have to cherish those romantic relationship.

Shu Fang, why did Second Master Ren not marry you?

Is it because you were lacking woman's virtue?

Were you fooling around with Mr. Wei?

You are blocking my way to fortune.

Cutting off your road to fortune? What do you mean?

Your brother is joking.

This is younger sister's good predestined marriage.

She's my younger sister, why are you pretending in front her?

Shu Fang...the Second Master is a wealthy and influential man!

Wealthy and influential...do you get it? He has a lot of money!

Look at his house and workshops. So huge!

If they give away just tiny little bit of assets,

that's enough to feed our entire family for a long time.

Dear sister...no matter what method you use,

you must marry the Second Master!

Our entire family is counting on you!

Dear sister!

Shu Fang...I will be honest with you.

when I heard you were going to marry
Second Master earlier this year,

I owe so much money because of this bet.

I am expecting you to bring me some money. You are my sister, after all!

You can't play your brother like that!

Play you? What do you even mean?

You want to get me married to the Second Master only to make up for the money you've lost betting.

Brother...are you even human?

Don't talk like that to me! There's no use in that!

You tell me! Are you getting married to him or not?

I am not. I am a person by myself, just like he is!

That's where I will draw the line.

You want me to get married to him so you'd pay your debt. No way!

You're going against me on purpose, aren't you?

You need a spanking!

- It hurts!
- Just hold on a little, it's not a big deal!

If he wasn't your brother, I would have asked for justice at the government's office.

If he comes back again, this time I won't have mercy on him anymore!

I know the Eldest Mistress is very fond of me.

If someone's at fault, it's my brother who can't live up to my expectations.

What happened, Shu Fang?

- Elder Sister!
- Nothing happened! I wasn't careful and fell down!

Stop hiding your face. Let me see!

Who has hit you so hard?

It's just a small bruise. It will be gone within two days. Don't worry about me.

How could I not worry about you?

You are a high-ranked maid of Ren Family. You are not some pitiful girl anyone could mistreat.

You should adopt the attitude of a high-ranked maid!

The entire Ren Family is standing out for you, am I right, Elder Sister?

Tell me, who is the one who hit you? I will avenge you!

Elder Sister, you can't leave things like that. She is like your blood sister.

She felt like a real sister to me from the very beginning.

No one can dishonor. Including you.

I didn't mean to dishonor her. I was just very agitated.

As for this matter...we indeed can't leave things this way.

Since you're here, I will let you deal with this matter.

Don't worry, count on me.

You should rest at home and treat your wound. If you need anything, ask him to do it for you.

Eldest Mistress, these fabrics are so beautiful. Are they all the dowry of Young Mistress Cao?

You can tell Madame Cao gave it all
for the love toward her daughter.

When can I be as good as Eldest Mistress,

weave such beautiful patterns.

Look at this flower, it looks like real.

As long as you put your hardwork into learning,
you will be there one day.

Really? Eldest Mistress, you are willing to teach me?

When master recruit you as the diciple,
your success depends on you.

If you have the talent and skill, I won't stop you.

This pattern is beautiful.

Eldest Mistress, you are amazing.
No wonder my parents has been praising you.

As long as you like it.

Eldest Mistress Ren personally made this.

Yao Niang's dowry is considered a treasure.

I've also finished preparing yours and Magistrate Cao's.

We have some as well?

All the servants have them.

Lord Cao took care of our Qingyue Workshop for many years. My beloved daughter is getting married.

Our Qingyue Workshop must do their best.

You're so thoughtful, Eldest Mistress.

I'm glad you like it. Take a look.

Yao Niang, Eldest Mistress undertook this task.

No one can definitely outdo your engagement banquet.

Thank you, Eldest Mistress.

It's what I should do.

Why don't I try it on?

I hope you like this color and pattern.

I like it.

Is it beautiful?

Yes, it is!

Old Master.

What are you doing in here?

Eldest Mistress Ren made new clothes for you.

Take a look. Take a look at this material.

This is the secret double-sided weaving skill of Qingyue Workhop that is not passed down.

Secret of Qingyue Workshop that's not passed down?

That's right. With this customer,

my daughter's dowry can be counted as acceptable now.

I'm loving forward to her engagement party

and let the Magistrate of Anqing know about our dignity

to prevent them from saying that we don't know the rules.

Mistress, if it's really like what you said

that Yao Niang's dowry are the double-sided weaving skill from Ren family,

don't let the Magistrate of Anqing know. I fear we will become famous in Jiangnan.

Is it just a few garments?

You may not know about the double-sided weaving skilll of Ren family.

No matter how hard people try, they can only obtain one or two outfits.

Yao Niang is fortunate to be able to use Qingyue Workshop's quality products.

The Ren family has lost their hard-earned capital.

Old Master, you are the Magistrate of Suzhou.

If she doesn't fawn on you, who will?

Think about it. Ever since you became the magistrate,

I've never slept well. I'm scared every single day.

We run into debts every day. Fortunately, we encounter the Ren family.

Is Eldest Mistress Ren the Goddess of Wealth for our daughter?

You don't know how much trouble the government has brought me.

An official goes to a distant place only for wealth. She helps you to make money.

Shouldn't you be helping him?

Moreover, you are the Magistrate of Suzhou. Is there anything you can't do?

Okay. Come, come. Try on the garment.

- Come.
- I'll try it.

- Try it on.
- Okay.

This...

A joyful occasion boosts your spirits. You are getting younger.

Not at all. I'm getting old.

How can I compare to your age?

The spring rain seems to have chosen a good time.

Mistress Cao, congrats.

Be blessed with double happiness too.

Mistress Cao, hurry and come over.

We're waiting to congratulate you in person.

- That's right.
- Coming.

People talk about how luxurious weaving products are in Jiangning.

Everyone in the Cao family is paying attention to what they are wearing today.

I fear they want to pressurize them.

Otherwise, why would the son of Magistrate of Anqing

get engaged to their beloved and pampered Yao Niang?

Isn't this to gain favors?

I heard these outfits are from Qingyue Workshop.

They seems to be the double-sided weaving skill and even used the paintings from Song Dynasty.

These are good items handed down from thousand years ago.

That's right. One inch of weaving silk is one inch of gold.

Why don't we order from Qingyue Workshop too?

Alright.

- Mistress Cao.
- Mistress Cao, you're here.

- You're getting prettier.
- Come on. Congrats.
- Have a seat.

Congrats, Mistress Cao.

♫ Miss, ♫

♫ please come and groom yourself ♫

Everyone, come and take a look. Lord Cao's double-sided silk tapestry drawing

is really exquisite.

Has everyone heard of this?

- I saw it before.
- You saw it before?

- No.
- Come on.

Let everyone take a look.

Be careful.

Here.

- It's indeed nice.
- Let me talk about it.

This is the pattern of prosperous flowers in Song Dynasty.

It gradually disappeared during Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Fortunately, the current Emperor,

and after the painstaking research by Suzhou's Qingyue Workhop,

Eldest Mistress Ren could restore this skill.

As the local official, I shall certainly work on celebrating this important event.

Seated in this room are local distinguished personages.

And I rely on you for singing praises of the beauty of Suzhou.

Our local craftsmen's livelihood depends on that.

- Yes.
- Yes.

The beauty of Suzhou is already known to all.

And it can well speak for itself.

And your lordship care so much for the reputation of this town.

You are definitely an official's role model.

Yes, definitely so.

A role model.

Not at all. Everyone,

People struggle for their livelihood. I myself am simply following the doctrines of the sages.

When regulating people‘s assets,

one must ensure they have enough to take care of their parents

as well as to support their wives and children.

The return of the Double-Sided Weaving Technique brings glory to our town.

Qingyue Workshop‘s contribution has been enormous.

It took Madam Ren years of effort to bring the technique back to life.

We should take this opportunity to monumentalize such a great deed for the descendants to remember.

It's a must.

Master Gao is right. The inscription must be written.

It must be written.

Bring the paper and brush.

Brother Xie has the best handwriting. Allow Brother Xie to write it.

No.

Come on.

I'm flattered.

Please, you are too humble.

[Woman]

Excellent.

[Qingyue Workshop]

[Qingyue Workshop]

We've paid a lot of money in advance preparing dowry for Lady Cao,

But after her engagement ceremony, a lot of guests came to us.

After Magistrate Cao brought the Eldest Mistress to fame,

more guests were attracted by our reputation.

This month, our main workshop in Suzhou alone

has made 50% more profits than before. Now, Qingyue Workshop

enjoys the reputation of the best workshop in Jiangnan!

Before, the four weaving families were equally known.

And now the shopkeepers of the other three families admit themselves

that if the Ren Family claims to be No.2, no one dares to say they're No.1.

Now that we have more guests, you should make sure to serve them well.

Don't panic and ignore your guests while you're busy.

Will do. I'll make sure to take care of it.

But can we ask Sister Shufang to check the expense journals earlier?

And Second Master too. The Family is quite busy right now.

Shufang is injured. Let her have a good rest at home.

Second Master has his own business to take care of.

If you want to be the shopkeeper, you can't rely on others to solve these problems for you.

You have to get it all worked out by yourself.

Yes. I understand.

Aren't you seeing the Ruyi girl in the Ren Hut?

Why haven't I see you walking around there in the past few months?

Eldest Mistress, actually Ruyi and I... We've already...

You suddenly decided to leave the Ren Household and become the shopkeeper at the Qingyue Workshop.

I assume it's because of her?

If you like her, then don't give it up.

As long as you live in this world,

no matter what challenges there may be,

If two people face them hand-in-hand, everything will be fine.

This is not right.

What's not right?

Shufang gets two taels of silver each month working as Eldest Mistress's servant.

Plus all the rewards, she gets at least dozens of taels of silver every year.

With so much money, it should be enough for her family to live an affluent life.

This hut looks so old.

Maybe her families have a lot of social engagements and spent all the money.

I don't think so.

Someone's coming out.

- When is your sister coming back?
- Very soon. Very soon.

My sister's indenture will be due very soon.

I'll ask her to come back. Then she can marry you.

If it were not for the fact that your sister had learned some rules in the Ren Family,

and I've been away from home doing business in Suzhou most of the time,

I need a woman to stay by my side to take care of both family and business issues.

At your sister's age,

there's definitely no one willing to marry her.

Second Master, please be careful.

- Are you sure you can make decisions about your sister?
- Landlord Qin, don't you worry.

I'm her eldest brother. Eldest brother is like a father. How can anyone say no?

- I'm a businessman, and I don't want to get into trouble.
- Don't worry, don't worry.

Let's go.

Please have a look.

Is this what you want?

I'm not literate. Just make sure you wrote down what I said.

Especially... 200 taels of silver. Is that written down clear?

- Of course.
- Great! Let's do it now.

- What are you doing? Who the hell are you?
- Be polite.

This is the Second Master of the Ren Family.

Second Master.

You're trying to sell Shufang for 200 taels of silver to this man as a concubine. Does Shufang know?

She's my sister.

Now our parents have both passed away.

- Of course it's all up to me.
- How the hell is it all up to you?

Is Shufang of the disposition to be someone's concubine?

Second Master! Second Master!

It's all my fault. Please forgive me, Second Master!

Second Master! Please forgive me! Second Master!

Here's your commission.

Please bear with us.

I'm just passing by.

I'll be gone right now.

Second Master! Forgive me! Second Master!

Please help change the words on this.

Okay.

Second Master! Forgive me! Second Master!

Please spare my life, Second Master!

Second Master, I didn't know that you had your eyes on Shufang.

I’ve been muddleheaded.

For the sake of me as Shufang's brother,

Please forgive me! Please forgive me!

How come Shufang has a brother like you?

200 taels of silver.

From today on, Shufang is part of the Ren family and will no longer have anything to do with you.

Second Master, you've got your eyes on Shufang,

and it's her blessing to be your servant.

It's the blessing of the Lin family.

If you ever dare to come to the Ren Residence again, I will beat you up every time I see you.

Get out!

What are you looking at? Sit down!

Second Master, please don't be angry. Relax.

If he's not Shufang's brother, it won't be as simple as beating him up.

We've got her indenture. Her brother won't be able to bully her anymore.

But how do we explain this to Sister Shufang?

Keep the indenture safe. Don't let anyone know about it.

Tell the gatekeeper that if any of Shufang's family comes to visit, don't let her know and report to me directly.

Okay.

- Sister Shufang.
- Xiaolan.

How long has Eldest Mistress been weaving?

She came here to weave right after she got up in the morning. She's been weaving for three days.

Apart from checking the accounts, she's been at the weaving room for the rest of her days.

Her works are so wonderful.

After Lady Cao's engagement ceremony, everyone wants to get the weaving and embroidery works of Eldest Mistress.

And they asked for the works within one year.

It seems that they've all got an eye for it.

The works of Eldest Mistress are completely different from before.

Different? But they're all made by Eldest Mistress.

Her techniques have always been excellent.

Her state of mind is completely different now.

When you grow older, Xiaolan, you'll understand.

By the way, please keep a close eye on the Eldest Mistress these days.

She's been weaving all the time. Don't make her too tired.

If there's anything, please let me know.

Will do, Sister Shufang.

Let's go.

Two up, one down, and then move the one behind.

Then one up, two down, move the one behind.

Second Uncle, I solved it. I solved it!

I know Xiushan is clever!

Too bad that Second Uncle is not as literate as Mr. Wei.

Second Uncle is Second Uncle. Mr. Wei is Mr. Wei.

By the way, Second Uncle. Can you bring me the trotting horse lamp that you showed me last time?

Okay. I'll bring it to you in a few days.

Go to school first. Don't be late.

Aunt Shufang!

Aunt! Don't blame Second Uncle. I'm the one who wanted to play.

- Wenmo, is that right?
- Yes.

Xiushan, if you still don't leave for school, you'll be late.

Be careful!

Aunt, please don't be angry with Second Uncle.

Shufang, have you recovered from your injury?

Yes. Thank you for asking.

I heard that you've done a good job doing business in Guangzhou?

Well, it's just the old ways that shopkeepers are used to. I've just been following the routine.

Other people respect me for being a member of the Ren Family.

They were flattering. Don't take it too seriously.

It looks like the Second Master have learned some ways of the world now.

This is a gift I've brought back for you from Guangzhou.

Thank you, Second Master. I'm afraid

I can't accept it.

[Precise Scenery]

Gusu has been a prosperous place since ancient times.
(T/N: Gusu is an old name for Suzhou. It's where the ancient Kingdom of Wu was)

People of Wu State were well cultivated and skilled at using ancient crafts.

And their ways were followed home and abroad.

The weaving craft in Suzhou was among the most well-known.T

Suzhou's embroidery and silk weaving is the top in the country.

Now...

Nowadays, Mistress Shen of the Ren family has restored the double-sided kesi

which was near extinction.

Her achievement is great.

Miss, what did the words you just say mean?

[Suzhou Journal]

She's crazy.

[Grave of Teacher Wei Lianggon]

Here rests Master Wei Liang Gong, the beloved teacher

Sister, do you know what you're doing?

The Ren family is in business.士农工商

Scholars, Farmers, Craftsman, and Merchants. The merchants are ranked the last.
(T/N: The four basic professions in ancient China)

Not only that they have to appease people, not show their wealth,

but most importantly, they have to stay low-keyed.

You're being too flashy right now.

Asking scholars to restore the Double-Sided Weaving Technique, to record and glorify your deeds.

You are showing off.

If you act this way, it'll harm yourself and the Ren family.

When did you become so cowardly?

We are in the commerce. Help in need rarely arrives.

More turns up to cheer your success.

So you well understand.

Li Zhao is in Jiangning now. He can return anytime.

Magistrate Cao is also ruthless and ambitious.

Two hungry wolves are surrounding you.

Xiu Shan is still young at only six years of age.

The Ren family is simply... rootless duck weed.

You should be restrained. In the future,

if Xiu Shan is successful in establishing,

it's not late for the Ren family to expand at that time.

Are you afraid?

I didn't expect that Zeng Baoqin will be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

I just know

how harsh this society is to women.

Mom.

Mom, listen to me.

Qing'er, our family is ruined.

You've entered jail, and you will even be sold

as servant or slave, you'll suffer greatly.

I can't bear to see you suffer.

- Mom!
- Come with me!

Mom!

Mom, I don't want to die!

Mom, let go of your hands!

Mom! Mom!

Mom, I don't want to die!

Mom!

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er...

Qing'er!

Qing'er!

Don't blame me.

I can't bear to let you die at ths youthful age.

But, if you live, in the future,

you'd like a life that's worse than death.

Mom...

I want to live.

I don't want to die.

Only if I die

will I be able to see Brother Xuetang.

Silly child.

You really are a silly child.

People will change.

He can't protect you.

I can't steel my heart either.

Later...

What will you do later?

Mom.

Mom, don't be afraid.

We won't die.

We will live.

We will get out of here alive.

We won't die.

Mom.

Mom.

Why are you dragging another one out?

- She was willful, won't receive guests, and showed Madam a long face.

Madam struck her a little too hard and killed her by accident.

This madam is really something.

She could have been sold to a cheap brother and traded for some money.

Isn't killing her a waste of money?

Why are you standing there dazed? Move..

This is an official family's daughter that I just bought?

Yes.

Come.

Let me take a look.

She looks good enough to groom.

An official family's daughter...

The one that was dragged out was also one.

She was clever.

Why couldn't she learn to live in our brothel house?

I was forced to teach her a lesson.

You won't become wilfull and make it difficult for me, will you?

Madam is right. I'll listen to you on everything.

You are smart.

Tell me.

What can you do?

I...

I can play the qin.

I can write and draw.

She knows quite a lot.

You look smart and obedient.

Wu'er.

Wu'er.

When I was young, the master always said,

“better death than dishonor.”

Has Young Miss forgotten it all?

I haven't forgotten.

But, Wu'er, you also know

I pledge an oath to my mother.

No matter how hard it will be in this lifetime,

I will survive.

Only if I live,

will I be able to see Xuetang again.

Young Miss, don't be silly.

We are women in the brothel now.

Ren Xuetang won't be coming.

He will.

I believe that he will.

Wu'er!

(chatter)

(chatter)

You haven't come for a long time.

(chatter)

Madam, this new girl

seems very competent, saving you a lot of trouble.

Not bad.

You bought a good one.

This girl will obey.

She can become a top girl.

A merit for you.

Go get your bonus from the accounting office.

Mama, she is here.

This way.

Mama.

You played the qin well.

But you played too formal, too solemn.

Now that you are in a brothel,

you should learn how to play brothel's songs.

I'll find you a teacher tomorrow.

Learn some good songs from him.

Yes.

From now on, you'd better be obedient.

I will groom you to be the top girl.

At that time, you will

live a better life in the brothel

than you could imagine.

Older Sister, you share stay in the Ren residence

and live well as the mistress in charge.

Don't stand out if not necessary.

When you show off too much, it will attract jealousy.

It won't be good to you and to the Ren family.

Lianggong told me to live well.

So I must live successfully.

I know you are saying it for my sake.

But I don't need it anymore.

Zeng Baoqin, what you lost in the past

I will return it all to you.

What exactly will you do?
