❝ 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 34]

You want to be a beautiful bride, don't you? Rest early.

Concubine Mistress.

If there's nothing, I will go do other things.

Concubine Mistress, I'm here to thank you.

To thank me?

My dad stopped hitting my mom

But I know that it's because my dad is afraid.

There's something I can't say to Miss Shen,

so I want to as you, Concubine Mistress.

Ask away.

I want to live like Miss Shen.

Can I not marry anyone for the rest of my life?

Not married for the rest of your life?

Xiang Lan, are you afraid that one day if you get married,

you will be like your mom?

Have you thought about

one day, you will meet someone,

and you both like each other.

The two of you will spend the rest of your lives together.

Have you thought about what that's going to be like?

No matter it's in the past or present,

I feel that my happiest days

are when the Eldest Master has me in his heart

and I have him in mine.

Don't give up on your own happiness

because of your mother's misery.

Is that why you let Ru Yi to get married?

No, getting married is Ru Yi's own choice.

She likes him.

When you like someone, no matter what you have to do for him,

you will be happy to.

I understand now.

Concubine Mistress, I don't know what might happen in the future,

but I shouldn't be afraid of the things that haven't happened yet.

[Qingyue Workshop]
Qingyue Workshop is an old brand.

The grass pattern was originally created by them.

How about going to the Ree's?

But who doesn't have the grass pattern nowadays?

It's was the weavers who used to work for the Ren's who weaved it.

No only they look the same, it's even cheaper.

-Are they exactly the same?
-Yes.

Let's go take a look.

Please, come in, madam.

Looking for something specific, mam?

Let us see the grass pattern weaves.

Yes.

The color is not bad.

Mam, this is the best of our shop.

This is the same ones.

It's also two coins cheaper.

Boss, give me two more of this.

Yes, mam.

Are you taking a nap here in broad daylight?

Concubine Mistress.

Concubine Mistress.

Wake up, you two!

Yes, Concubine Mistress.

What are you waiting for? Go do business!

Yes.

We are the old brand. They want our high quality products.

What's happening right now is that there's always a new trend.

Young people only like new stuff and they compare prices, so all they get is are cheap products.

How about making something new? It's not that we can't.

You make it sounds easy.

If we start to make new patterns, our old customers won't like it.

They are proper folks.

Why do they have to wear what the young people are wearing?

If that's how we do things, not only will we not able to please the new customers,

we will also lose our old customers. It's going to be bad either way.

What do we do?

Only if Big Sister-in-law is here.

Big Sister-in-law is the best Kesi weaver in Suzhou. With her here,

we will be as steady as a mountain.

The old patterns are nostalgic.

The old patterns will be the trend. There will always be people liking them.

But if our business keep being this slow,

we will not have enough cash flow

to even pay people salaries.

[The New Skill Book]

[Ren Xiu Shan]

Dad, look. How's the characters I wrote?

I think you are getting better at writing characters, Xiu Shan.

Learning how to write from your dad, Xiu Shan?

You are here.

Is something up?

Xue Tang, I want to...

Mom, dad said when it's my birthday,

he will carve me a stamp

to stamp on my books.

That's right. I will pick one for you now.

Here.

How's this one?

It's nice.

Mom, do you think this is nice?

I think it's nice.

Xiu Shan, keep learning from your dad.

I will.

Dad,

dad, mom didn't seem happy.

Something must be bothering your mom.

But don't worry, your mom is a smart person.

Also, I know that she will be alright.

[Qingyue Workshop, Kesi]

Second Master, Second Mistress, look.

Concubine Mistress is still not back.

Can we really get paid tomorrow?

When Little Sister-in-law there won't be a problem, so there won't be.

Second Master, Second Mistress. You are all here.

Come here.

If I am not mistaken,

wages aren't paid until tomorrow.

Second Mistress, these weavers are all new arrivals.

They are arguing that they want their wages. There's nothing I can do.

The Ren family is large. It's only a day or two early.

Right, Second Mistress.

You just wait a couple days. In two days we will definitely give them to you.

If we don't get our wages today,

We'll just leave the Qingure workshop and work for another family.

Second Master, I have a lot of children.

Waiting to receive my wages and return home to eat.

The Ren family is generous. You will understand, right?

The Ren family opened a silk manufacturing workshop,

not a charitable hall.

- Concubine Mistress.
- Concubine Sister-in-law.

This is a silver banknote.

Ru Feng, send out the wages tomorrow.

Not early, and not late.

For three generations, the Ren family has never such a thing as paying wages late.

I don't know where you heard rumors and came here to make a fuss.

Today is the first time, so I won't look into it.

If there is a second time,

I will inform the business group.

Ordinarily if some one causes a disturbance with the Ren family,

anyone in Suzhou who dares to hire them will have a hard time dealing with the Ren family.

Concubine Mistress, we didn't do it deliberately.

But now the Ren family definitely isn't the same as when Mistress Shen was here.

It's - our hearts are not at ease, We're sorry Concubine Mistress.

- Concubine Mistress, we let you down.
- We let you down.

Big Brother, you are still in the mood to read books?

The family has had a big disturbance with the Qingyue workshop, and you don't want to help Concubine Sister-in-law.

Now I'm not paying attention to outside matters.

I have my heart set on preparing for the civil service examination.

Today the foreman and weavers came here to make a fuss and you don't care about it?

Ru Feng, have you ever thought about

why the weavers and the foreman dared to make a fuss?

It started because the Qinyue workshop's business is not a big as before.

Ever since Big Sister-in-law was gone, Qingyue Workshop's patterns and products

haven't been as creative as before.

Wrong.

Bao Qin has spent a lot of time and effort on the new patters,

which is no less than Cui Xi's work.

How come I don't know about this?

In the past ten years or so,

the market has accepted Cui Xi's style.

Therefore those who chase the trend can always make money.

So why would they not do it?

The Bao Qin's challenge is

to create and to market new styles.

They have to be different than Cui Xi's.

I heard before Big Sister-in-law leaves,

she gave a pattern book to Little Sister-in-law.

It has all the new patterns she created.

If Little Sister-in-law can just copy the patterns and put them on the market,

we can turn things around in no time.

Why isn't she taking the shortcut since there's one available?

So we turn things around for this time, what about next time?

What about in ten years?

Don't tell me every times the Ren family

encounters a crisis in business, you will have Bao Qin to go beg Cui Xi?

That's not what I want.

Also, you, Shu Fan, along with the people working in Qingyue Workshop,

always call Bao Qin Little Sister-in-law and Concubine Mistress.

If she is the Little Sister-in-law and the Concubine Mistress,

who is the Big Sister-in-law and the Eldest Mistress?

Big Brother, this is our fault.

Ru Feng,

ever since we were kids, you've always lived in my shadow.

These years, you've finally walked out of it,

so is Bao Qin.

Right now, she is the Eldest Mistress who is managing the Ren Family.

She has her own ideas.

And what we need to do is to trust her and support her,

instead to reminding her to take the shortcuts.

What do you say?

Hmm.

Eldest Mistress.

Isn't it Ji Xiang?

Why are you crying?

I made a mistake again. Eldest Mistress was angry.

She said I was stupid and doesn't know how to read.

She said she will kick me out.

The Ren Family is a generous family. They won't kick you out over small things.

How did your hurt your hand?

What happened?

I will find something to wrap it for you.

Ji Xiang,

Ji Xiang.

Eldest Mistress.

Do you like him?

No, no.

I just think he's good-looking.

Brother Shu Yan.

Brother Shu Yan?

I'm here.

Brother Shu Yan.

Do you remember the ten characters I taught you?

I do.

Brother Shu Yan, I sewed a bag for you.

Ji Xiang, form now one,

don't give out the bag you sew to others easily.

But I think if I can find someone

who is as capable and kind like you to be my husband, that'd be nice.

Ji Xiang, remember this,

you have to look for a responsible one to be your husband.

Understood?

[Jinxi Workshop]

Mr. Li, can't we think of anything to save Miss Cao?

This is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Don't even think about it.

The workshops,

embroidery and Kesi always change. You need to think

about what you are good at and what's unique about it.

Qingyue Workshop

is yours to manager now.

Big Sister, I will catch up to you.

Not through any shortcuts, only skills.

Where are you going?

I'm going out to do something.

Where are you going?

Why do you look like you are processed?

You never leave me alone.

The room is dark. I'm afraid to be a lone.

You've even been through thousands of miles of banishment. How are you afraid of the dark now?

I will be back soon.

You... What are you doing?

You just won't give up.

You are still trying to ruin her.

You know she always loves to doll up.

If you ruin her face, you might as well kill her!

What else could I do?

I'm her father.

I also want Yao Niang to live in this world and being a beauty.

But darling, in this world,

if woman doesn't have her reputation and innocence,

she might as well be dead since there's no point to live!

Give it to me.

-Give it to me.
-No!

This is the best option for Yao Niang!

Have you even read those books about morals and sins?

Tell you what. If you keep following me,

I will kill her for real!

Books about morals and sins.

[A Woman's Moral]

[A Woman's Moral]

Please have some tea, Master.

Ok.

Now that Jinxi Workshop is doing so well,

I bet it should be fine if you leave it for a few days, Miss Shen.

These kids know that it's not easy to have the opportunity to learn embroidery.

If they love to learn and always be practicing, it is fine to leave them to it.

That's good.

Miss Shen, I have an important favor to ask from you.

Please ask away.

The Imperial Household Department has the word out,

saying the Grand Empress learned that the Kesi from Suzhou is the best in the world.

In order to impress the Grand Empress,

the emperor wants to fine female weavers from everywhere

and compete to be the best weaver in the world.

Suzhou has always been the best on that.

We have to keep the title for this time as well.

After much thinking,

if you, Miss Shen, can show off your skills,

and earn the title of the best weaver in the world,

this way you can bring honors to Suzhou,

and also gain fame to yourself.

If the Grand Empress is happy with you,

she might reward Jinxi Workshop handsomely,

which is entirely possible.

When that time comes,

even if I retire and go back to my hometown in the future,

your Jinxi Workshop

will not lack protection and get picked on by the bad people.

You are being so considerate for Jinxi Workshop, which I am thankful for.

I've been the governor for Suzhou for decades.

In this city, Jinxi Workshop

worries me the most.

Now that we have this opportunity, I hope you won't let it pass.

I will not let you down, Master.

Good.

Is someone here? I'm from Jinxi Workshop.

Is someone here?

Mrs. Cao.

May I hlep you?

Miss Shen asked me to tell you that she will be competing to be the best weaver in the capital.

One of the reasons is to save Miss Cao.

She asked you to wait and not worry.

Tell her

that I will take good care of Yao Niang and wait for her good news.

Open it.

-Did you design all these?
-Yes.

I didn't expect you to improve so much in such a short time.

Thank you for having faith in me.

I remember I said that I will always protect you.

I know that. You let me face my own problems and grow.

This is one of the ways to protect me.

Xue Tang, I've thought it through.

With the Ren family's situation,

the problems can't be solved by just having me create a few new patterns.

I want to participate in the competition.

If I can come in first, I can revive Ren's family business.

Have you really thought it through?

Ok. Anything you want to do,

I will support.

Thank you.

Do you remember back when we just got married?

I loved taking you here

to sit in the boat and look at the moon.

The moon was just as round as today's.

Remember when I just became a governor,

why did I work so hard?

For having our family

to live a good life.

I made it.

Master, let's go.

Let's leave this place and go somewhere far away.

Just pretend we didn't have Yao Niang as our kid.

Once I finish it tomorrow, we will go back to the country.

I will be a school principle, and we will have another baby.

I will teach him how to read and write. I will see him to take exams to become a governor.

Yao Niang is only sixteen.

She is at her best age.

I will carve a tombstone for her.

I will write an essay on how tough and loyal she is.

Everyone will remember her by that.

This wine,

this river,

and this bright moon,

are here to say goodbye

to Yao Niang.

Master,

let's use our lives

to pay back for the sins we did.

This drug is good.

It acts fast.

We won't suffer.

Are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

Why are you doing this?

Our Cao family will never have offsprings because of you!

How am I going to face our ancestors?

You...

Master,

we harmed Yao Niang.

We made her end up in the brothel.

If we die,

no one will be after her.

Let's leave this world

together.

♪Do you know I was born to♪

♪love the world?♪

♪love the world?♪

♪And there is no one here♪

♪to see♪
You said

you will let our family to live a good life.
♪the beautiful spring time♪

I've been waiting for that day.

♪No one is disturbed by the birds flying and the fishes siwmming♪

Very good! Very good!

Yao Niang, you sing so well!

Since I sing so well,

come find someone for me, Madam.

You've decided?

That's great!

New month, the 15th,

the moon will be full. It will be a good day.

That's will be the day we do the deed. How about that?

How wonderful!

Goodbye, Madam.

Second Master, you know how to do manual labor now.

Of course, I do.

I can't have you two do it, can I?

That's great. You will be doing all the chores from now on.

I will do them.

You are such a talker.

Don't let others hear us.

Don't mess around here, the two of you.

I have kids here.

Got it!

Big Sister, you will definitely come in first

in the competition at the capital.

Big Sister, you have my support.

Miss Shen,

Miss Shen. Something happened.

[For Miss Shen]

Miss Shen,

after much thinking, I know as long as Cao Wen Bin is alive,

Yao Niang has to die.

I am Yao Niang's mother.

I gave birth to her,

and I can't give her all the happiness and luck for the rest of her life,

but I can give her peace and keep her safe.

That is something I can do.

I am a mother.

I will not allow anyone in this world to harm my child.

No matter who that person is.

Even if the person is my man.

Miss Shen, Yao Niang is for you to take care of.

Get her educated.

Get her to learn skills.

Get her to live her life.

Forget about me and her father.

A mother will always love her child.

No matter what she has been through

and what misery she had in her life,

she will always be willing to do anything for her child's safety.

Even to sacrifice her life.

Bao Qin.

You are here, Eldest Master.

I've been thinking.

How about using this picture as the sample

to participate in the competition? What do you think?

A picture with characters?

Did you write them for this?

Yes, I did.

Using a sample with characters is rare.

Because it's very difficult to weave characters.

We were thinking about the same thing.

I've been practicing calligraphy since I was a child. A sample with characters will be my advantage.

I believe in you.

Do you think I will win the competition,

or Big Sister will?

I was joking!

This competition,

I will do my very best.

Because I want everyone to know

that I, Zeng Bao Qin,

can make something with my own skills.

I will be waiting for you to come back.

I will be leaving you all for a few days

for the competition.

You have to keep working. Don't be lazy.

Here are some Kesi. There's one for each one of you.

Study them well.

I will check them when I come back.

Xiao Ju, you are the oldest. Take care of everyone.

-Yes.
-Master, I will take good care of myself.

Master, I heard people say that you are going to save Miss Cao.

My grandma said she is a bad person.

A girl from a decent family

shouldn't get close to people like her.

If she does, she can't get married.

Your grandma is wrong.

My grandma is right.

I started Jinxi Workshop and accepted you all as students,

not for you to look down on people,

but for everyone in this world who is in similar situations like Miss Cao

can work to live a good life, understood?

Understood.

I will tell my grandma and my little sister.

We are all Master's students. We should be sisters, shouldn't we?

Yes!

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Miss Shen?
