♫ 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 ♫

[Marvelous Woman]

[Episode 31]

- I'll chase him out.
- Xiao Lan, don't go out.

I know you are capable.

It's also good to let her experience such things.

I can't control you.

But I need to control my own daughter.

Father, get up first. You speak nicely.

Get up first, Father.

Speak nicely. Get up!

- Father, it's me who didn't want to get married. It has nothing to do with Lady Shen.
- Look, look!

- Get up first. Get up!
- You all look!

- Learnt bad things from Lady Shen. How can this be right?
- This is unreasonable.

- Lady Shen, come out!
- Speak nicely.

What have you taught my daughter for her to become like this?

This Jinxi workshop is offending public morals!

Immoral!

- Smash it!
-Smash it!

Let's all smash it!

- You must don't lay your hands on it! You must not smash it! What are you doing?

- I'll need to go out and see.
- Don't come in!

Uncle Fu has already blamed me for teaching Xiao Lan badly.

If you go out now, wouldn't I be accuse of one more thing?

- You look after the kids well, I'll go.
- You must not smash it. What are you doing?

You are a big bully!

Xiao Lan, move aside, let us get in.

Who dares!

- Who dares!
- Lady.

I say, who has such loud voices.

It's actually Ren Shu and Ren Liang from the third house.

Don't be afraid of her. She's not the matriarch of the main house anymore.

Yes, don't be afraid of her.

Destroy the Jinxi workshop! Let her know without the Ren family

she's nothing!

Ren Liang, you are also educated.

What does a line in the Qing's law say?

Trespassing private property without the owner's permission,

you will be caned 100 times and exiled three years.

Master is so great.

Isn't it? Master even knows the Qing's law.

So girls must read books and be literate, understand the reasoning.

She's a woman. How can she know the Qing's law?

She's lying.

The Qing's law has this line indeed.

It was cited from the Han dynasty's ancient law.

Ren Liang, what benefits has Third Great Uncle given you

that you have to make things difficult for me?

It has nothing to do with my Father. We just want to help Uncle Fu.

Lady Shen, you used learning art as an excuse.

Instigating girls not to marry. That won't do.

Today we will bring the kids back.

Yes. I want to take Xiao Lan away.

- She's my own daughter. I must take her away today!
- Let's see who dares!

Who dares to touch Lady Shen?

Eldest Master.

Don't talk anymore. Eldest Master is here.

Today who dares to touch a strand of Lady Shen's hair,

will be making things difficult for me, Ren Xue Tang!

Let me ask you all. These years when I was not at home,

travel, education, the Four Rites of Ancestor Worship,

which house provided the money?

The main house provided it.

How about the alms in the winter days?

The main house also provided the money for it.

Who is the person-in-charge for the main house?

I know there's a type of person in this world.

Holding the bowl to eat rice, right after putting the the bowl he scolds his Mother.

I don't care about others. But anyone who's surname is Ren,

I will deal with the person strictly!

- Xiao Lan
- Yes?

Those words about not wanting to get married, did Lady Shen teach you how to say it?

No. It wasn't Lady Shen.

It..it was my Father.

My Father found matchmaker Qian

because he wanted to marry me off to a rich household and become concubine.

- Become a concubine?
- This girl is quite pitiful.

So in a fit of anger, I said those nasty words about not getting married.

Eldest Master, I know I'm wrong.

Uncle Fu,

originally because you were in debt, Xiao Lan

was sent to be a maid for Lady Shen.

Last time Lady Shen was kind

and part of our family, our clan and didn't sign the contract to sell her as a concubine.

But even biological brothers should settle things clearly.

to avoid the family being muddled and destroy good feelings.

I reckon the agreement should still be supplemented.

Make up for it?

Disperse. Let's go.

The Jinxi workshop just opened and a woman

bringing a group girls, its inevitable that people will talk rubbish and make wild guesses.

Don't take it to heart.

If

you really want to manage well the Jinxi workshop

I could use the Ren family name to send out invitations

to ask Suzhou's influential and famous families daughters to come and ask you to be their teacher.

There's no need.

Eldest Master have you forgotten? We have peacefully separated.

Now you are standing at the door to my Jin Xi workshop

making decisions for me.

What does this mean?

What do you want to make clear to me?

You just said brothers should settle things clearly

to keep things from being hopelessly muddled

and hurt the good will.

Eldest Master you better not come anymore.

You are drawing the line with me?

Yes.

Xiao Lan, let's go in.

[Jinxi Workshop]

Can't believe that you can still laugh.

In front of so many people, she

just shut me outside the Jinxi workshop door.

I froze there like a fool.

Something bad will happen in the future.

It's a pity I was tied up with things at home today.

I couldn't watch that scene.

All right.

Don't be angry.

Actually sister did this because she put a lot of thought into it.

She don't want to drag the Ren family into it.

Most importantly I'm afraid that she want to disassociate with us.

It's alright if she wants to make a fuss.

But in front of outsiders she said those words.

Now if outsiders heard this

and thought that the Ren family doesn't care about her anymore.

In the future, if one or two of them go down to the Jinxi workshop to

find trouble for her, then in time,

bad things will definitely happen.

I know. I know your worries.

These two days I've also been thinking about this.

On the one hand, I feel sorry that Sister is outside suffering,

and being wronged.

I want her to come back to the Ren family as early as possible.

She's our loved one and

sister for life.

As long as the Ren family, you and me are around,

she shouldn't have to worry about making a living for the rest of her life.

But on the other hand,

I saw that Sister was so happy that day.

I was also thinking

if leaving the Ren family and opening Jinxi workshop

is something Sister is doing wholeheartedly,

and can let her be truly happy and cheerful,

then shouldn't we support her?

Has everyone split it?

Master, I've split it.

This won't do. Look, this thread is all coarse.

Master, why you have to continually split the threads?

Your requirements are higher than other's.

If you want to be a good embroiderer, every piece of silk thread

must be smooth and slippery. Understand?

Continue.

You're here.

Sister Shu Fang, Second Master, you're here.

Let's go inside and talk.

Elder Sister, let me do it.

You're now Ren family's Second Mistress.

I'm Jinxi Workshop's Mistress Shen. It's better if I do it.

How about I do it? Let me serve the tea.

Allow me.

You do it then.

Elder Sister, are you treating me like an outsider or are you trying to hurt my feelings?

Alright, I was wrong. Okay?

Shu Fang, little Shu Fang.

Elder Sister, I heard the rumors outside

saying that you have fallen out with Eldest Master.

And that Ren family and Eldest Master will no longer care about your matters.

Elder Brother is himself. Nothing to do with Ren family.

Elder Brother doesn't care about Elder Sister, but I will. I shall see who dares to come.

I fell out with Eldest Master on purpose.

Why?

Elder Sister, why must you do things the hard way?

As the saying goes, 'A large tree is good for shade'.
(T/N: Influential people can offer protection')

Ren family can be considered a large tree, with enough branches and leaves (with enough influence)

Why not take advantage of it?

You two are usually clearheaded.

Why are you two pretending to be muddled when it comes to my matters?

I... How am I pretending to be muddled?

Elder Sister, you know me. I have never been clever since young.

I know.

On one hand, Eldest Master divorced me.

On the other hand, he keeps coming to my place.

He doesn't even care if it's day or night.

Not just other people,

but isn't it that even you two think

I will return to Ren family one day?

Well Elder Sister, Eldest Master left for seven years.

No matter who it happens to, that person will be angry too.

Yes, Elder Sister.

If you want to spite Elder Brother, I will raise both hands to agree with you.

One year?

Three years?

Seven years? You want to spite him for seven years?

Enough, you two.

In the future, don't intervene in my matters.

Either we just drink our tea,

or you two hurry up and go back.

- Drink tea.
- Drink tea...

You're that happy?

Yes. Coming here to offer incense with Concubine Mistress,

and the scenery here is so beautiful.

And I'm even wearing new clothes. Of course I'm happy.

Ru Yi, have you thought about Shu Yan recently?

Concubine Mistress, I'm begging you.

Can you betroth Ru Yi to me?

I promise you. I will treat her well.

Shu Yan, at this point,

do you know what your mistake is?

Concubine Mistress, Ru Yi is still young.

She's foolish and doesn't know better. Are you just going to let her be?

As we live in this world, how can we not follow the traditions and rules?

Ru Yi is of age to marry.

I'm just very worried about her.

Where's she going to find another man like me,

who loves her whole-heartedly?

Shu Yan, all these you just said,

I don't agree with a single word.

But I do understand your sincerity.

Concubine Mistress, so you mean?

Ru Yi truly liked you before.

But how she feels now,

I don't know.

I thought of him a few days ago.

But later, I realized it made me very unhappy,

so I stopped thinking about him.

I remember in the past,

you were very happy whenever you thought about Shu Yan.

Yes.

That's why I used to think about him whenever I'm free.

But now, I don't.

I'm fine with how I am now.

Miss, I'll go catch fish.

It's raining. Don't go.

It's fine.

- Don't catch a cold.
- Miss, I'll catch a big fish for you.

It's been several years, but Gusu's scenery is still the same.

I heard that these few days,

Brother Weng's mother has been visiting the daughters of illustrious families,

in order to find him a wife.

Talking about wives, I heard that earlier,

the Eldest Mistress of Ren family,

Mistress Shen, voluntarily asked to leave the family.

While Mistress Zeng became the official wife. If it were you, how would you choose?

Of course I'll choose Mistress Shen.

She has great artistry skills and is good at handling the business.

She's also good at managing the household.

If it wasn't for this capable matriarch,

with Eldest Master Ren gone for so many years,

the Ren family would have crumbled long ago.

If it were me, I will choose Mistress Zeng.

She's beautiful and intelligent.

She's well-known in Jiangnan as a talented lady.

A scholar and a beautiful lady. That's a good match.

If it were me,

I'll choose both.

Mistress Shen will be the matriarch,

while Mistress Zeng will be the companion. Isn't it?

They'll be the talk of the town if that happens.

If Mistress Shen hadn't left voluntarily,

Ren family will probably be in chaos right now.

Brother Weng, after talking so much,

what kind of woman do you wish to marry?

Me?

I just want to marry a woman who makes me happy when I see her.

- Makes him happy when he sees her?
- Happy?

- Brother Weng!
- Where are you going?

I caught one!

I caught one! I caught one!

I caught one! I caught one!

What are you doing?

I'm catching...

It's all your fault! My fish is gone.

I'll help you.

Over there.

Ouch.

Let me take a look.

Don't...

Don't move.

Ouch.

Rub it like this and your head won't hurt at night.

All done.

I can tell you don't know how to catch fish. Now you're all wet.

Alright, let's get up the bank.

Miss, I thought you wanted to catch a fish to eat?

That was my plan initially.

But the fishes in the river are so adorable.

I was having so much fun that I forgot.

It's fine. I caught one and had enough fun anyway.

I'm going home.

You can do that?

Of course I can.

Do you study just to become the top scholar?

If you can't become the top scholar, you're not going to study? That's meaningless then.

That's true.

Of course. My words are always true.

I'm Weng Jin, from Changshu, unmarried.

I wish to marry you.

Please tell me where you live. I'll go ask for your hand.

Miss?

Are you a scholar?

I entered school when I was fifteen, and passed the provincial civil service examination.

Although I'm not well-known in Jiangnan, but I guess I'm still considered a scholar.

You look pretty upright and you're a scholar.

In the novel,

Tang Bo Hu met Qiu Xiang three times before he married her.

If you meet me three times, I agree to your proposal.

Miss, where are you from?

Ru Yi!

I have to leave.

I heard that Ren family's Eldest Mistress went to Hanshan Temple to offer incense today.

I'm guessing it's highly likely that you're from Ren family.

Ru Yi...

Her name is Ru Yi...

Everything one could wish for...good name!
It's a pun in Chinese.

"Three thousands count of grey hairs"

" The sadness seems to last forever"

Brother Weng! Brother Weng! Where did you go?

Why are you so wet?

I just went to the river to wash my hands and I accidentally got my clothes wet.

Brother Weng, what happened with your head?

Have you got beaten up?

I wasn't careful and I have bumped it into something.

Brother Weng, you are really lucky you haven't encountered any bad person!

Come here! Let's have a drink!

The Court has alcohol, the Court is drunk!

Cheers!

Very good!

You tell me if it's not ironic. You were just talking about Ren Family

and just that I've bumped into a girl from their clan.

Her name is Ru Yi. But I don't know from which house she is.

Ru Yi...

It seems that this little boy who locks him up home spending his entire day reading,

doesn't really know what's happening outside his house.

Uhm...what's wrong with this girl?

This so called Ru Yi...

She is just a bastard from a brothel.

What honorable man would marry a girl like her?

That's something obvious.

A few days ago...

she was desperately clinging onto a man.

I heard there was a very illicit story going on.

They had tried everything.

And the result?

They got kicked out of the house.

Getting married to a bastard from a brothel

would bring you shame for three generations.

Shame!

I have associated myself with you because I have always regarded you as some respectable gentlemen.

I haven't imagined you'd be gossiping people behind their backs like this.

You are ruining people's reputation, that's not what a gentleman should do.

Just pretend we had never met. We will never see each other.

Brother Weng!

Fine! Don't mind him! Let's carry on.

Forget about it! So what if he doesn't want to hang out with us!

No need to send me back. Go home!

Mom...please don't go back. It's not as if you are an untalented person.

Being able to weave silk tapestries will bring you more than enough.

Why would you return to that house and put up with the harsh conditions.

If your father got crazy, and wouldn't take anybody's word.

If I don't leave now, I will cause trouble to Lady Shen.

That's not something to worry about...I have already spent my entire life with your father.

Isn't everything fine?

Don't worry about me.

Learn Lady Shen's handcraft and live a good life!

Also...please listen to her regarding your marriage.

She is competent and insightful, she can't be wrong.

Remember, you can only marry with someon with Lady Shen's permission.

Understood?

I have understood. I will listen to you.

Don't listen to me, listen to Lady Shen.

Fine. I will listen to her.

Fine. Go back now.

Mother...I am leaving.

You're still coming back! I asked you to find Shen Cui Xi!

I'm telling you, if you are not coming back.

I will send you to the court.

I will sue Shen Cui Xi kidnapping.

I will sue you not following the marital rules.

Who told you not following the marital rules!
Who told you not following the marital rules!

Where did you get them from?

Xiao Lan gave me.

Give it to me.

You!

You also dare hide money!

How dare you!

I will beat you to death!

I didn't know you would also hide money away!

Who told you not following the marital rules!

Who let you hide the money.

I will beat you to death.

How dare you not obeying me.

How dare you hide the money.

I will beat you to death.
I will beat you to death.

Who told you not following the marital rules!

Don't be confused next time.

I understood.

Xiao Lan? Is that her?

Xiao Lan!

Did you come from your home?

Concubine Mistress.

Yes, I am coming from home.

I've something to do, I'm heading out now.

Xiao Lan!

Is everything alright at home?

Has your father beaten up your mother again?

How do you know about this?

Everybody in the Ren Family knew about your father beating up your mother.

Only your mother would think she could hide the truth.

I have a way to stop your father's act.

When you write there is vertical and horizontal strokes.
Do you understand?

It's beautiful.

What's wrong, Xiao Lan?

Take your time to write.

Lady,

Someone like my dad who is a greed and bully,

If I could earn money, a lot a lot of money,

will he stop harassing me and stop beating up my mother?

Yes.

Come.

Look at this.

Here, sew this way.

You can give it a try.

Pleas come this way.

You can take a look at this, they are our double sided weaving.

- It's not bad.
- That's right.

Uncle Fu, you are here to see your daughter?
You are so lucky!

Your daughter is so capable. Also, she is learning from Lady Shen,

her future is bright.

This is our newest product.

This color is so beautiful.

Is there anyone?

Where are you guys hiding?

That's true, so elegant.

- What are you looking for?
- Looking for what?

I'll tell you, what I've got is silver.

I want you to call out your best young lady for me.

I think she's not bad.

She looks pretty lively. She's really pretty good.

How much for the night?

You guys all get lost!

This is the Jingxi workshop.

- Jingxi workshop.
- Jingxi workshop.

You say a single girl taking care of so many girls,

and you don't do that thing? What do you do?

- Right!
- That's right.

What do you girls do all day?

Do you sing or dance?

Sing a song for me.

Give me one. Hurry.

Right, give me one. Sing.

- Don't just stare at me.
- I won't!

Eldest Master, you're going out?

Something happened at Jinxi workshop.

- What happened?
- There are some hoodlums stirring up trouble.

A woman outside doesn't look for trouble,

but trouble looks for her.

Sister is really in a difficult spot.

I'll go have a look.

Eldest Master.

Why don't you let Sister give it a try this time?

If every time something happens at Jinxi workshop you help out,

then in outsiders' eyes they are relying on the Ren family to back them up.

Then what use was it for Sister to leave and open up the Jinxi workshop?

Come look at this!

Look at this! Embroidered well, isn't it?

Put it down!

- Look at it.
- Really well embroidered.

She could give it to me as a token of her affection.

- Not bad.
- Don't run!

- Get lost!
- What are you doing young lady?

Are you conspiring to murder your husband?

- Hit him!
- Hit him!

Get lost! Get lost!

Are you hitting me?

She should hit him.

But I'm not feeling at ease.

I'm going out, I'll be right back.

Ever since Miss Shen left, Eldest Master is always running over to the Jinxi workshop.

That's because he's worried.

When sister is in trouble, I wish I could be there right away.

But we all have to believe in her.

believe she would able to handle.

Four! Five!

Officer!

I'm innocent, officer!

- Eight!
- Someone told me there is a beautiful girl in there.

Ten!

That's why we are here!

Eleven!

Twelve!

Thirteen!

These people deserve to be flogged until they become crumpled.

Isn't it?

They deserve it!
See if you dare to bully someone in the future.

- They deserve it!
- Eighteen.

- What's going on?
- Nineteen.

Eldest Master.

Twenty! Twenty One!

Twenty two!

Twenty three! Twenty four!

Lady Shen.

Ren Xue Tang is my student.

I heard a bit regarding yours relationship.

Now that your Jinxi Workshop is in trouble.

You better to Xue Tang and ask for help.

He can certainly resolve your problem.

I'm here today is not just because of Jinxi Workshop,

it's also representing ten thousand weavers in Suzhou.

- Why would you say that?
- Half of the ten thousand weavers are women.

When Jinxi Workshop has trouble,
of course I can ask Xue Tang to help.

But for other Suzhou weavers and other women?

Those thugs once ruined people's reputation,
have fun causing disturbance,

In the long term, all the Suzhou weavers will be at risk.

How can we maintain the bustling economy of Suzhou?

Xue Tang, perfect timing.

Come over here.

Greeting to my respectable teacher.

You may skip the formality.

Everybody, today I would like to announce,

Suzhou weaving industry is flourishing today thanks to Lady Shen's leadership.

I always want to honor her contribution.

Today, I would like to take this opportunity to do so.

Bring me ink and brush.

Lady Shen is truly Lady Shen,

Respect.

Jinxi Workshop.

Great! Great!

Lady Shen.

Thank you General.

Once she has the sign written by the Governor General,

Lady Shen's Jinxi Workshop

will have a grand future.

You are back.

I'm back.

I got a new painting.

Master would you like to take a look?

Of course.

Mom!

Xiao Lan.

Why are you here so early in the morning?

Mother, I heard father's health isn't doing well.

I bought a chicken for him to regain his strength.

- Where is the knife?
- On the stove.

Mother, the knife is already rusty.

Let's sharpen it.

How is it possible?

I just sharpened it few days ago.

You better go sharpen the knife now.

You little kid, urged me to sharpen
he knife the crack of the dawn.

Mother, Lady Shen teaches us how to write lately.

I read a story, would you like to listen?

Yes. I'm listening.

There is a family live on the hill.

It's only husband and wife.

When the husband is upset, he beats up his wife.

He hit her until you see cuts and bruises.

One day, the wife couldn't stand it anymore.

She was afraid she will be killed by the husband sooner or later.

While the husband was sleeping,

she went to the kitchen and picked up the clever.

She chopped off the husband's right hand.

What it wrote on the book was horrendous.

Blood flowing everywhere.

The man was dying in pain, rolling on the floor.

Mother, there are more to the story.

That man later got into an accident.

The leg was broken, he had to be taken care by someone.

For the wife, when she was happy,

she would feed him a spoonful of food.

If she is upset, she would ignore him.

Everyday laid down in bed.

His body started to rotten.

Tell me, when a patient doesn't get any caring,

isn't it very sad?

Yes. I

It's quite sad.

Master!

What are you so clumsy?

Take care, customer.

Come, take a look.

Teacher, my house in Chengdong,

are you living there comfortably?

Very good. Very Good.

I found the whereabout of that maid.

She is at the brothel south of Hexi.

How is it?

Have you found our daughter?

Not yet.

I thought this time we would never return.

I can't believe we received the

special amnesty.

But why can't our daughter be pardoned?

Once she sold it to the official,

she has become an object.

She is no longer a person.

This kid has so much pride since a young age.

I wonder if she could survive.

That's right.
