❝ 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 ♫

[Marvelous Woman]

[Episode 29]

I'm very disappointed in you.

Wrong.

Do it again.

It's too troublesome to calculate on the abacus.

Shu Mo, get some water.

Yes.

When you are starting to learn the abacus, it's easy to feel pain on your hand.

Later just put your hand in the water and to cool it, and it will be all right after.

When Shu Fang was learning the abacus, it was like that too.

Have you heard, now the Ren family

has the Concubine Mistress as the person in charge.

Ren's Eldest Mistress don't dare to come out to be in charge.

The whole of Suzhou saw her getting flogged on that day.

The teahouse will soon come out with a new topic

specifically to tell this story.

What you are talking is already old news.

When the Ren family show up, who dares to offend?

Even if you give the storyteller ten guts, dare he tell?

Can the mouths be controlled?

Your mouths cannot be controlled right?

I know you two. Your son is an assistant at Qingyue Workshop.

And you. You Daughter-in-law is an embroideress at Qingyue Workshop.

Eldest Mistress is treating you well usually right?

Eldest Master, we're just gossiping with no malicious intent.

No malicious intent?

Exposing others' scars and chatting about their tragedies, you still say that there's no malicious intent?

Eldest Master, we're telling the truth.

We really don't have any malicious intent.

On the day that Eldest Mistress was wronged, we kneeled down to plead for leniency too.

Everyone in the neighborhood saw it, they can testify.

Yes. Both of them really went there.

They helped Eldest Mistress to cry out for justice. They shouted very loud, we saw them.

- Yes. We all saw it.
- They went there.

We all know that Eldest Mistress is a good person.

Than why are you gossiping about others behind their backs?

Eldest Master, the representatives from the weaving households are all here.

Please.

[Faithful Hall]

Everyone, today is our General Accounts Office's

seventh year anniversary of it's establishment.

Over the seven years,

everyone has their up and downs. It's not easy.

So today.

Here today,

I want Eldest Master to write an article.

Write down all things about Eldest Mistress, General Accounts Office,

and Suzhou's tens of thousands of weaving households,

as well as the experiences.

- Yes, Eldest Master.
- Write it down.

- Write it down, Eldest Master.
- Yes Eldest Master, it was not easy.

Yes, Xue Tang. You must write it.

In recent days, event the children in school

are all asking. There are all sorts of gossip.

They are talking about everything.

Yes, Eldest Master. There are a lot of people in the workshop, so there will be a lot of talk.

We can't explain the serious things clearly.

Speaking of the gossips,

every one of them are realistic and they are traveling everywhere.

Not only you have to write an article, you need do a stele inscription.

So the descendants of the weaving households will remember.

Yes.

- Yes.
- Let them remember.

Eldest Master, please write.

[Faithful Hall]

Since the day of civilization, food is the sky and clothes are the land.

If there's not enough food, everyone will starve.

Insufficient clothings will suffer from the cold.

Today, Jiangnan is the clothing of the country.

It's china's clothings.

And for Jiangnan's clothings, Suzhou has the best.

When Suzhou is cold, everywhere is cold.

Today in the Suzhou city, there are ten thousand weavers,

It has ten thousand weaving machines,
and it produces ten thousand sheets a day.

In Changmen, the most prosperous place in Suzhou, there are three thousand girl singers and millions of taels of gold.

The store gets busy between 3pm to 5pm.

The four seasons and dialects are not the same.

But in the recent year,

the days are not good. Prices of silk soared.

Local economy aren't doing well, and the local officials are taking advantage of the locals.

Everyone pretends to be rich, while the officials impose heavy taxes on people.

People are going bankrupt and begging for relief.

The whole city is turbulent, the marketplace is bleak.

Suzhou's economy is on the verge of collapse.

Thanks for Eldest Mistress at the Ren Family, as a lone woman,,

She save the local economy as her mission,

worked closely with the vendors and established General Accounts Office.

She united the big families to bring benefit for people.

She donated to the poor and helped the people in need.

That's how Jiangnan millions of silkworms famers survived.

The machine shops have ten thousand weaving workers spinning the silk, dyeing and finishing.

She set up workshops to train the locals.

All the local businesses are benefiting from each other.

And all commend her for her kind heart and justice.

However, the Suzhou officials

were cunning and greedy,

the corrupted officials tried to take away Ren Family's properties.

They framed her to be the murderer of her husband.

She was arrested and charged.

Flogged punishment with injustice.

She confessed under torture to a crime she didn't commit.

Although the Heaven may turn a blind eye, the people cannot be opressed easily.

There may be dark times, but light will shine again.

All the Suzhou people were upset with the news.

The youngsters and the elderlies came out to the street,

Running, yelling, and the cries at the execution ground was loud enough to shake the heaven and earth.

There were endless complaits, and the whole city was filled with chaos and turmoil.

The provincial magistracy learned of it and ordered a retrial.

The brutal injustice was corrected in Changmen.

The righteous lady received justice as she deserved,
and the people finally set their minds at rest.

Today, places like Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou and Zhenjiang

are smaller than the size of a province, but the taxes collected

are more than half of the taxes collected nationwide.

And over half of those taxes are imposed upon weavers.

The silk industry here is crucial to the nation's economy.

The recession of the silk industry in Suzhou

is indeed detrimental to the country's economy.

The importance of Suzhou and its silk industry weighs more than Mount Tai.

The ruthless officials don't appreciate their opportunity, the support from the people, and the kindness of the emperor.

They plotted treacherous schemes and framed up the kind.

They took immeasurable bribery and were indeed the traitors of the country.

It may be easy to take advantage of the people, but hard to deceive the Heaven. Being in the business can bring fortune,

but that fortune comes from the emperor and the people who support us.

We need to stay alert and remind ourselves

to think of people's livelihood and live up to people's expectation.

We should always work hard and stay vigilant.

To alert future generations, these words are carved into the monument as a reminder.

After Million miles of long river, is sea and sky.
(T/N: After going through all the hardships, will pay off with bright future.)

Cui Xi, have you thought of

step beyond the door?

You startled me.

Do you remember when we were young,

I loved to stand behind you and scared you?

Come.

Where are you here?

I heard you are here at this courtyard.

I want to take a look.

This courtyard has not been changed a bit.

The door still there.

People in Suzhou all know

Eldest Master is the best husband.

I didn't believe it in the past.

Until that day,

you saw me broke the rules and opened up that wall.

You didn't scold at me or say a word.

It's you who gave Bao Qin a way to live.

I should have thank you. Why would I blame you?

Zhen Bao Qin is smart and intelligent.

and for me,

I am reckless and take my own course,

it's all your fault.

When two women aren't following the rules,

why would they become my fault?

It's because you speak your mind and you treat people with sincerity.

You never put those rules and regulation into your heart.

That's why Bao Qin and I became brazen.

You are treating me and Bao Qin well,

I know it.

I truly appreciated it.

Cui Xi,

I thought...I owe you too much.

Let's have a child together.

For a woman, they should have a biological son with them.

then you can be with your son and stay at the Ren Family.

I will take Bao Qin and Xiu Shan far far away to work as an official.

Ren Xue Tang.

Let's divorce.

If Mr. Wei still there,

plus Mr. Wei's tomb stone.

Oh.

Eldest Master, do you

want to have a sip of tea?

Shu Mo, shut up!

Stop tapping.

your fingers are all swollen.

Second Mistress still hasn't said a word.

I haven't seen Shu Fang for few days now.

She doesn't even know my fingers are swollen.

Shall we go visit General Accounts Office?

Show up with my pain?

I think it will work.

Big Brother, why are you here?

Shu Mo, go shut the door.

Got it.

Big Brother, come sit.

What's the matter?

Ru Feng. Can you tell me the story of Wei Liang Gong.

Mr. Wei has left long time ago,
there is nothing to say about it.

Your Sister-in-law wants a divorce.

Divorce? Because of Mr. Wei?

Big Brother, listen to me.

Sister-in-law and Mr. Wei are innocent.
Nothing had happened.

Don't listen to the gossips from the outsiders,
misunderstood sister-in-law.

What I said is the truth.

Don't look at me like that.

Big Brother has gone crazy?

Zhao Bo, his name is Zhao Gong.
His last name is Ji, his title is Tu Yan.

Family, he found a wife through matchmaker.

This poem with repeated format sentence,

to show the wife's longing emotion toward her husband.

With the repeated lyrics, to reiterate her deep affection.

What kind of person were you?

[Ren Residence]

Eldest Master,

Eldest Mistress just left motion ago.

Where did she go?

[The tomb of teacher Wei Liang Gong]

Liang Gong, how are you doing?

I went to jail recently and almost being executed.

I thought I could almost united with you.

Xue Tang is back.

He is alive.

The Ren Family is doing pretty well.

Bao Qin is also doing well.

I'm also doing well.

I promised you, I will live a good life.

I hope you won't go to heaven too fast.

Wait for me.

[The tomb of teacher Wei Liang Gong]

Eldest Master, you are back.

Shu Yan.

If there is someone you think you owe her a lot.

You try your best to pay her back, but then you realized

your payback is not what she wants.

What will you do?

Eldest Master, what do you mean by that?

I don't think I understand.

I want to be alone for a while.

Wait for me outside the study.

Got it.

You painted this painting so well.

"Fill with spring scenery in the garden,
a branch of red apricot blossom from the wall."

Although, hundred of flowers are not yet blossomed,

but it highlighted a spark of spring on the paper.

For me, I'm looking forward to see your Kesi skill become successful.

Then you can showcase this painting on to Kesi.

But I'm clumsy.

I have only learnt Kesi for a short period of time.

I think you need to wait for a bit longer.

Why don't you ask sister to help you?

She doesn't know the essence behind these paintings.

If we are doing the exact replica of the painting,

then it's just a boring copy.

I believe skill can be trained.

but it's hard to be enlightened.

If I want to develop our family's Kesi skill,

I need to depend

on a spiritual person like you.

But the painting is really beautiful, I like it.

- I will give it to you.
- Thanks.

Xue Tang

Do you consider Cui Xi's Kesi boring?

Hers is not as vivid and natural as Bao Qin's Kesi?

Xue Tang, when it comes to Kesi,

being vivid is important.

But if you want to carry on,

weaving day by day,

train your endurance and your skill,

can only be consider as successful.

But her work looks like a Kesi artist but without spirit.

Normal people do not appreciate this kind of skill.

but when this person reach to the ultimate artistry level,

it will break through the artistry and reflect its vivid spirit on their work.

If someone who has spirit but not willing to train their skill.

Once the spirit is gone, everything will be gone.

Xue Tang, you consider Cui Xi has the artistry.

And she only knows how to work hard to practice her skills.

I know that one day she will be enlightened.

I hope that you are the one who will help to enlighten her.

Mother, I finally understand what you said.

Secondary Mistress, Eldest Master say he wants some quiet time and do not want to see anyone.

Xue Tang, what exactly happened?

Cui Xi wants a peaceful separation from me.

Why? You knew about this beforehand?

Sister did not tell me anything.

But I know these years she went through a lot of things,

suffered a lot of hardships and gotten a lot of injuries.

I thought as time passed, she can

hide the painful past in her heart

and continue to live strongly.

Those few years,

you also used this way in order to live.

Right?

Yes.

I'll go and find Sister and have a good chat with her.

She cannot leave. Cannot leave the Ren family.

Bao Qin.

If Cui Xi is gone, there'll be only two of us left.

A couple for life.

Xue Tang, I know,

Cui Xi for you

is like your blood related relatives.

You and her are inseparable.

I know you have me in your heart.

As long as you have me in me, that's enough.

Eldest Mistress is here.

You two follow me.

Waiter, give me a noddle.

Coming.

I bring you here to try the noodles.

[Shen Family Tenth Lady Noodle Shop]

[Shen Family Tenth Lady Noodle Shop]

Tenth Lady!

- Mistress Shen!
- Tenth Lady.

Haven't seen you for a while.

I'm bringing them to try your noodles.

- I want a big bowl of noodle with meat. Also, two plain noodles.
- No problem.

You should go upstairs. There are too many people here.

Common in!

Common in here.

Come and sit here.

Here is more quiet.

Eldest Master, please sit.

Come sit here.

- Mistress Shen, you really haven't been here for a long time.
- That's right.

This person must be Master Ren?

You come back alive. No one in Suzhou doesn't know you.

Please keep an eye on my business.

Lady boss, check please.

- You go get busy.
- Alright.

Wait for me.

Cui Xi,

this person is...

Back in the days when I heard about your disappearance,

I met Tenth Lady when I was on my way to Hangzhou,
we got along very well.

She once was the daughter of a rich businessman's daughter in Hangzhou.

Later, she felt in love with a scholar from the capital.

They finally got her parent's approval,

and got married. She happily moved to the capital.

Then it turns out that scholar is married with children.

He wanted to approach Tenth Lady was because of her generous dowry.

He did everything to take that position.

How ridiculous is it? What's the name of that scholar?

You don't need to worry about it.
Tenth Lady spent ten years

to collect that cheater's corruption evidence, and send him to jail.

She lost all her possessions, then she left the capital.

When she arrived here, she opened this noodle shop.

Mistress Shen,

noodles are here.

Eat them while they are hot.

Noodle with meat is for Eldest Master.

Please eat while they are hot.
If you need anything, let me know.

Thank you.

This Tenth Lady is her real name, isn't it?

Who cares about her real name?

All you need to know is to eat while it's hot.

Once it's cold, it won't taste good.

Eat!

- Sister.
- Don't speak.

I think of you as my younger sister, so of course I have to consider for you.

If you speak to let me stay in the Ren family by Xue Tang's side,

anyone else can say this,

except you, Zeng Bao Qin, cannot say it.

If you think of me as an older sister, then listen to my sincere words coming from the heart.

I want to peacefully divorce Xue Tang, not because I'm so generous and want to fulfill you two.

On the contrary, it's because I am selfish.

I want to do as I wish.

Cui Xi.

I studied silk weaving and endured hardship and exhaustion.

When I was young, it was for Old Madam's compliments.

After I married, weavving silk, taking care of the household and business,

I tried to make sure everything was done well.

What I waited for was Ren Xue Tang saying

a word of affirmation.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

It's my own affair.

It was I who spent my days

living for other people's compliments ad affirmation.

I should be sorry to you.

If you say that, I would feel even more ashamed.

Because of you,

because of the Ren family,

that's how the present Shen Cui Xi came to b.e

She is no longer the Shen Cui Xi who kneeled down

to beg you to give her a way to live.

She has become self-confident, self-reliant,

and not want to depend on you.

or depend on the Ren family or anyone else.

I want to become my own Shen Cui Xi.

Ren Xue Tang,

fulfill my wish.

I will write the peaceful divorce letter.

I will fulfill your wish.

Thank you.

Shen Cui Xi,

live the life that you want.

Thanks.

Look, you haven't finished your noodles. They're getting cold.

When they are eaten hot, these noodles

can taste the flavor of the wheat.

Thanks.

Is this really it?

Write the peaceful divorce letter and let her leave the Ren family just like this?

Xue Tang, you are a man.

Men stand upright in this world.

Among the splendor of mountains and rivers, you can leave when you say so, and you can go anywhere.

But for us women,

we never leave the household since childhood.

When we show our face in public, we are defamed as damaging the society's values.

If we encounter anyone stubborn and pendantic,

we'd have to endure any scolding or beating.

All these values that you're talking about,

of course I know of them.

In our dynasty since its founding, a woman obeys her father at home, and obeys her husband when she 's married.

If the husband dies, she obeys the son and cannot establish her own household.

But Cui Xi, what a stubborn person she is.

I'm sure you know her better than I do.

If she wants to do something, who can stop her?

I know that.

But if a woman is divorced from her husband,

how difficult it will be for her to live in this world,

I know all about it.

Alright, alright.

I understand your concerns.

Just think this way. Perhaps on the outside,

she might suffer a little and return by herself?

That's all that we can do now.
