(Good Scenery, Great Yearning. Part 1)

Greetings, ladies.

Mister, get us some preserved plums.

We ran out of them.

How is that possible?

Look at all the plum blossoms
blooming on the streets!

Miss, yesterday, a wealthy client

sent his men here

to purchase all of
the preserved plums we had.

Naturally, we ran out of them
since he purchased all of them.

Besides,

the plum blossom outside
is the red plum blossom tree.

It's different
compared to the plums we use

for our preserved plums.

But the maidservant of the Li Residence

told me that
she bought them here yesterday.

You were referring to yesterday.

Last night's moon has gone down, right?

Even so, the moon
will still rise tonight, right?

You ran out of money yesterday,
didn't you?

I'm loaded today, is that so?

- My fair lady...
- Mo.

My lady?

Since they're out of stock,
we can buy them next time.

We still have some
in the residence, right?

Stop complaining.

Miss,

are you...

Greetings, Miss Lei.

Let's go.

Take care.

What wealthy client?

He purchased that
many preserved plums for himself?

He'll surely die
from consuming them all.

You can't catch me!

He didn't buy them for himself.

Someone will deliver the plums

to our residence by tomorrow
at the latest.

Deliver them to us?

My lady, don't tell me
the wealthy client was actually...

Today's weather is great.

Let's head there.

What do you think?

Listen,

Jade Garden belongs to
the imperial family.

Ordinary people cannot
access this garden usually.

However, the imperial family
is showing us their grace lately.

Since plum blossom is in season, they
open it to the public for half a month.

That's how we're able to
enjoy the great scenery.

You guys

should take a close look
and take a good sniff.

I've sniffed them.

I enjoyed the scenery too.

You should remember it at heart.

I did.

Tell me how you feel then.

- It looks great.
- It looks ordinary.

- It has a generic smell.
- It has a normal smell.

You guys can continue.
I'll check out that place.

I'll head over there.

My lady, you're back?

The wealthy client delivered this to us.

(Dream)

(Chun)

Sir.

Sir,

there's a tricky situation out there.

You have to follow me.

What is it?

You'll know when you follow me. Hurry.

Come.

This...

What's going on over here?

If you don't give me
an explanation right now,

I'll force you to practice
calligraphy with me.

No matter what I say,

I can never explain it
as well as the letter.

You can

read the letter

and enjoy your blooming plum blossom.

(The plum blossoms in
the Capital are blooming.)

(Even the Jade Garden
is open to the public.)

(The place is full of visitors.)

(It's a great time to enjoy
the blooming plum blossom.)

(I know you're busy
with the House's affairs)

(and that you have no time
to go outside.)

(So, I sent you the flowers.)

(And I am)

(enjoying the same scenery as you)

(at our usual spot.)

(Given the circumstances,)

(missing you is the best I can do.)

Greetings, Mr. Thirteen.

My foster father instructed me to search
for a good calligraphy painting.

I've obtained this Hawk of Seasons
just a few days ago.

The strokes are bold, yet calm.

It's the authentic work of
Ouyang Xun of the previous dynasty.

That's why I wanted to
hand it to him personally.

Mr. Thirteen, could I trouble you

to pass the message to him?

The chancellor isn't around.

Marquis, I will hand the painting
to him on your behalf.

Please return now.

Since my foster father isn't around,

I shall wait here for his return.

I will hand it to him when he returns...

Marquis,

your foster father sent you
to find paintings so you'd be occupied.

You'll only stop letting
your imagination run wild

when you have something to do.

Do you understand?

It seems like I won't be able
to meet my foster father today.

Marquis, you won't be able to see him
just because you want to.

You can only see him

when he wants to see you.

As for the calligraphy paintings,

I think you should continue
your search for them.

Yes, Mr. Thirteen.

I shall take my leave.

Good.

Look at how free-flowing his words are.

(Old Materials, New Revelations)
Amazing.

It looks as if
it was enchanted by a deity!

Amazing!

Such excellent words!

Great words.

Amazing.

He's truly amazing!

No one can top him!

It is truly exceptional.

I've never seen such great words
in my lifetime.

His words are superb!

This trip was worth it.

- It was so worth it.
- He writes like an angel.

What kind of words are these?

They look slanted.

It's as if a worm
is wriggling on the paper.

It's so unrefined.

How dare he come here
with such ugly words?

That's right.

Great words.

He actually said they're great?

Everyone said
that my words look terrible.

Why did you say they're great?

Can you please give me your take on it?

That's right. Tell us.

Old mister, your words looked entangled

as if dead snakes hanging on a tree.

It's great

because it's extremely ugly.

What kind of logic is that?

Since you think it looks terrible,

why did you praise it then?

From afar, they look like
wriggling earthworms.

From near, they look like autumn snakes.

When it's at its ugliest form,
it is also the most beautiful form.

Only people of exceptional capabilities
can produce such words.

Those words just now
are pretty good too.

They look good
due to their artistic effects.

But mister, your words are good

because they're captivating.

However, it's a pity.

Although they're great,

they violated the rules of calligraphy.

You do sound like an expert yourself.

Why don't you show us your writing

and explain to everyone

what you meant by captivating
and the rules of calligraphy?

That's right.

He's right.

Show us your writing.

Show us your writing.

Show us.

Let us learn something new.

Since the old mister has spoken,

I shall gladly oblige.

(Men Should Have Strong Minds
And Broad Aspirations)

You're a hidden expert.

It may seem uneven at first glance,

but in reality, the structure of the
characters is dignified yet gentle.

Great words.

I've lost.

It was my loss.

Old mister,

I wasn't referring
to the structure of the characters

when I said that the words
violated the rules.

It's because you didn't utilize

the strokes you excel at.

You actually could tell?

Among the 16 characters you've written,

you only wrote the two words
"Should Not" in one go.

It revealed your usual
carefree demeanor.

From these two words alone,

I know that you're much better
at writing than me.

Can you give this to me as a gift?

Of course.

All right.

Mister, you can take it if you like it.

I'm not a famous figure.

That's great.

This trip is worthwhile indeed.

If you're free,

you may visit

my Plum Blossom Garden.

By then, I'll show you

my true writings.

I will surely visit you
when I have the chance.

All right.

Make way.

Make way.

Make way.

Please make way.

Please make way.

Please make way.

Make way.

Get out of the way!

Why are you still here?

You stepped on my foot just now.
Didn't you feel that?

You!

Sorry about that.

How rude.

Pardon me for the rudeness.

Make way.

These two guys

are worse than little girls
who need coaxing.

This is the time I love the most
throughout the entire day.

It's you?

Did you tail me?

I often come here to enjoy the sunset.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Let me warn you.

Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei
are right over there.

If you dare to try anything funny,

you won't be able to escape.

Look over there.

People are heading back as
the tired birds return to their nests.

(Hanxiang Pavilion)

During sunset,

it's as if time itself has slowed down.

We're willing to slow down our pace too.

That day,

why did you say
that I lived like a puppet?

I just think

that no matter what you do,

you do it for the sake
of showing it to other people.

At least a puppet can make others happy.

I'm even worse than a puppet.

I exist

merely for the officials

to feel as if they have the power.

My father passed away

when I was very young.

Taking his Blood River Sword with me,

I was escorted to the Capital.

But when I arrived in the Capital,

all those officials
feared my father's legacy.

They were afraid that
the Blood River Sword might resurface.

They hoped that I could become
a good-for-nothing.

And I had no choice
but to become a good-for-nothing.

Those officials can kill me

as easily as squishing an ant.

They're only keeping me alive

because I am willing to obey them.

I'm just a Marquis
who's waiting for my time to come,

wielding the Blood River Sword,
killing no one.

I sound like a good-for-nothing.

But I can only survive

by doing so.

This is power.

That's why I said

I was worse than a puppet.

I've spoken so much,

and I guess you're not willing
to listen to my rambles.

In your eyes,

all of these might be my excuses.

It's good as long as you can survive.

I don't know

what kind of person you want to become,

but you'll only get the chance to do so

if you stay alive.

What are you smiling at?

People say that women always
speak with their tongue in their cheek.

Although you may look like you hate me,

you're willing to listen to my rambles

and console me.

Did you fall for me?

I guess a leopard
can't change its spots.

I wasted my breath on you.

(Studious Legacy)

Sir.

Please have a seat.

Leave.

Fang Yingkan came today.

He said he found
a calligraphy painting for you.

Open it.

He's been restless lately.

I suppose Guan Qi's case

is related to him.

It was Guan Qi's fate.

He can't do anything about it.

He'll understand that eventually.

Hawk of Seasons?

This is a rare painting indeed.

Keep it away.

Famous works like these

lack surprises.

When it comes to calligraphy,

sir, you are one of the top experts.

Naturally, your taste would be different
from mere mortals like us.

However, today,

I finally found a calligraphy painting
that I have taken a liking to.

This calligraphy painting
is pretty interesting.

Get someone to frame it.

Hang it on the wall.

All right.

I'm Zhang Fei,

Zhang Yide!

I'm a pork butcher.

However,
much of my pork meat was stolen!

Today, I will get
an explanation from him!

Where's the red-faced thief?

I'm Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!

I am a gatekeeper.

Why did you say that I stole your meat?

Thief, do you dare battle with me?

The two brothers have been through
thick and thin together.

However, they still
act like little girls

when they argue.

The more they argue,
the more intense it gets.

They even brought up

their old scores.

Let us listen to their stories.

At first, we agreed
to make a name for ourselves

in the Capital.

But now, you're leaving

just because
you've encountered some difficulties?

Talented individuals like me
cannot afford to wait.

This is not the place
for me to build my future.

Is there a better place than the Capital

to showcase your talent?

Did you forget what you said

when we swore an oath

in Kushuipu?

If you dare to leave,

I'll break your legs!

Who said I'd forgotten it?

We will go through
thick and thin together.

We will entrust our lives to each other
and never let each other down.

She's really talented.

I guess she's the only person
who will resort to that.

Amazing!

Why did you bring up the past?

Our hearts change easily.

In the past,
you treat me as your brother.

Now, you despise me for being a demon!

What nonsense are you saying?

I'm not daring enough to criticize you.

I'm just a coward.

Who started the argument first?

It was you!

They're fighting!

Great!

Good!

Good!

I have a strange feeling.

One day, only
the two of us will be left,

stuck inside an iron cage.

Or, we will stand on a narrow path.

I don't know if we
have to fight each other to death

or embrace each other.

I hope it's just my imagination.

Of course that's just your imagination.

Amazing!

Tell us another story!

Great!

Great!

Please enjoy your meal.

They're still ungrateful
even after all I've done.

Fine, just ignore each other
in the future then.

This is so infuriating.

I thought you guys split up?

Why did you come back to find me?

Listen.

From now on, I'll ignore you guys.

The Wen family is full of heroes.

The people we know
are righteous heroes too,

not little girls like you two.

You guys made a huge fuss
over a tiny matter.

What are you two laughing at?

Both of us left early

to buy your present.

That's right.

We split up

because the presents we wanted to buy
were at different locations.

You guys still have the time
to buy presents?

Did you two

reconcile with each other already?

There was nothing
between us from the start.

We've already
been through hell together.

Even if we have different opinions,

we will surely
work together in the future.

That's right.

Besides,

a little girl like you actually
insulted us by calling us little girls.

Of course we need
to do something about it.

You two are really troublesome.

Fine.

At least my effort wasn't in vain.

Thank you, Wen Rou.

Thank you for your kind intention.

How do you plan to thank me?

By just saying thank you?

What do you think about this bottle?

Cabbage, you're terrible
at choosing presents.

What can this bottle do?

What do you know?

The shopkeepers said this bottle

is a good luck charm.

It can keep you safe.

Isn't it great?

And this.

A ceramic craftsman made this.

Plum blossom may wither one day,

but this flower will bloom forever.

You're indeed better
at choosing presents.

But you can have both of them.

Are you happy now?

I guess this is a worthwhile day.

It's a special day,

and it's a happy day for us.

You guys have to remember

what I've done for you two

since this morning, all right?

But why?

He's right. But why?

You'll face ordeals from time to time
when you roam the martial arts world.

In the future, there might be arguments

and unavoidable bloodshed.

So I hope you two

can remember
the happiness you felt today

and keep it in your heart.

When you encounter ordeals

and feel like giving up in the future,

you should remember
how it feels like to be happy.

Use your happy memories

to ward off the snow
and storms in the future.

Why are you staring at me?

Is there something on my face?

No.

I just think that
the Young Lady of the Wen Family

had grown up after living in

the Capital for some time.

Come, let's have a toast.

To

our smooth-sailing future, all right?

One toast isn't enough.

You said we have to store
happy memories, right?

We have to drink until we drop.

- Bring it on then.
- Come.

Cheers.

You won't remember anything
if you get drunk.

Bai, take three cups as your punishment.

What? Me? You should drink too.

All right, I'll join you.

Stop being angry. Come.

Stop being angry.

You shouldn't drink too much.

Here.

Mister,

please let me go inside!

(House of Sunset Drizzle)
I'm looking for Bai Youjin!

Bai Youjin? Who's that?

Leave immediately.

He

is very tall!

I'll surely recognize him!

Mister.

Mr. Bai!

I've finally found you!

Why were you looking for me?

I have good news for you!
And the news is even better for you!

(Honor of Deshao)

Look, I'm here to deliver your payment.

So much?

The important client
I mentioned last time

bought your paintings again.

This time, she paid 50 taels for them.

It's a hefty sum.

By the way, not only did
she appreciate your paintings,

but she also left you a letter.

This letter is for you.

This client
is actually a beautiful lady.

Mr. Bai, I shall take my leave now.

(House of Sunset Drizzle)

It's her?

Bai?

What are you doing here alone?

It's nothing.
I'm enjoying my private time.

What is this?

(Mister, your paintings
are filled with strong strokes)

(and high ambitions.)

(However, the bow will snap
if you apply too much force.)

(Mister, I hope you
can rise together with the wind)

(and achieve your ambition
on cloud nine.)

(Tian Chun.)

So, Miss Tian Chun
was your patron all along?

Wait, isn't this too much
of a coincidence?

I didn't expect her
to like my paintings either.

The carefree Bai Choufei
who went sightseeing on the river

and the painter Bai Youjin

are actually the same person?

I'm sure Miss Tian Chun

would be surprised about that.

What are you laughing at?

Be honest with me.

Do you like Miss Tian Chun?

- I...
- I think this is great.

You two are a match made in heaven.

I just wonder

what Miss Tian Chun thinks about you.

About that,

I'll ask her about it
when I see her in person.

I will ask her out

and confess to her.

Not bad at all.

(Six Half Hall)

Father.

- Okay.
- Have some warm tea.

It's good.

This is strange.

When my daughter makes tea for me,

it smells and tastes better
than the tea other people make for me.

The tea sage, Lu Yu, once said that

mountain water is superior, river water
is mediocre while well water is inferior.

I made this tea

with something better
than mountain water.

We call it sky water,

also known as dew water.

The water I've used to make your tea

was the dew water
we had collected this morning.

This tea is great. I like it.

Chun, you should make tea for me
when you're free in the future.

Everything in the world
has its own category.

It's the same for humans too.

Su Mengzhen is the man among men indeed.

It's because he's an exceptional talent.

But I do think
Bai Choufei is not bad as well.

He's a rare talent.

By the way, Chun,

what do you think about Bai Choufei?

I don't have many friends
in the martial arts world.

He's one of them.

But Father, you didn't want me

to go near the House of Sunset Drizzle.

That's why I don't see him often.

I do think

you can meet up
with Bai Choufei more often.

He's an intelligent man.

I can rest at ease when my daughter

makes friends with intelligent men

like him.

I heard

that the Young Lady of the Six Half Hall

is going to come here.

She's a rare guest.

That's right.

The woman who rejected
Mengzhen's proposal?

Let me see

what kind of woman you are.

Chun, you're here?

Long time no see.

I don't dare to be late
when I'm meeting you.

Hurry.

Have a seat.

Great timing.

You can enjoy a show later.

A show?

Listen.

Later,

the Young Lady of
the Six Half Hall will be here.

She's the woman who rejected
Mengzhen's proposal.

I'll teach her a lesson.

You better hide

when we get into a fight.

If not, I might hit you by mistake.

Wen Rou, are you trying to hit me?

Why would I hit you?

The person I'm going to hit is...

Don't tell me

it's...

It is me.

I...

I took on another identity
because I had no choice.

I already knew you're

Su Mengzhen's martial sister
when we were at Han River.

You're considered a member
of the House of Sunset Drizzle.

We were predestined

to avoid each other in the Capital.

No wonder you left us
on the boat without saying a word.

I was wondering

why I couldn't find you in the Capital.

Do you mind that I've hidden
my true identity from you?

Chun, you're worried for nothing.

Your identity doesn't matter to me
as long as you're my friend.

Although I hate the Six Half Hall,

I like you.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Later, I need to head back

and tell Little Rock
and Cabbage about this.

I'm sure they'll be shocked.

Actually, I asked you out today because
I have a difficult favor to ask of you.

It's related to Mr. Bai.

Cabbage?

I think I know what the matter is.

I could already tell

when we were at Han River.

Cabbage is always proud and arrogant.

However, the way
he looked at you was different

from how he
usually looked at other people.

Not long ago,

I encountered him once again
in the Six Half Hall.

And, after that encounter,

I confirmed his feelings for me.

However, I only see him as a friend.

I need someone to assist me

in waking him up.

After careful consideration,
I still think you're the best candidate.

This is truly a difficult task.

However, it's fine.

I will come up with a way somehow.

Thank you, Wen Rou.

Here, have some tea.

(Four Virtues)

Is it nice?

I'm talking to you. Is it nice?

You look troubled.

What's the matter?

I'm thinking about Cabbage.

Why are you thinking about him?

I think I should tell you.

You can assist me
in coming up with an idea.

Do you know

that Chun is actually
the Young Lady of the Six Half Hall?

So, you already found out?

Wait, you knew it too?

Bai told me about it.

I was planning

to find a suitable opportunity
to relay the news to you.

So, both of you actually knew.

If so, do you know...

Bai likes Lei Chun, right?

Everyone can tell
as long as they're not blind.

And,

Bai will be meeting Lei Chun today.

He plans to confess
his feelings for her.

You didn't know, right?

What?

That can't be.

Isn't it great?

Bai is confessing to the girl he likes.

Moreover, Bai is handsome and talented.

He's a skilled martial artist too.

- I think...
- But Chun

had an engagement
with Mengzhen before this.

The person she likes is Mengzhen.

Bai Youjin is a strange man indeed.

Even though he hasn't seen you before,

he asked Wang Er to arrange
a meeting for you two.

And he hasn't even shown himself yet.

What a strange man.

All talented individuals are prideful.

I can understand how he feels.

You better don't be this rude

in front of outsiders later.

No, I won't.

I'll ask the innkeeper
to prepare some snacks for us.

All right.

Mr. Bai, it seems like
you're in a fine mood today.

Where are Wang Xiaoshi and Wen Rou?

I'm here to wait for someone.

Naturally, they won't be here.

However, if the person
I'm waiting for doesn't turn up,

I can at least
drown myself in sorrow alone

and avoid their mockery.

I might be mistaken,

but Mr. Bai, were you waiting for me?

That's right.

Since I'm here,
you don't need to drink alone.

Amid the excellent scenery,

let us be honest with each other.

All right.

This painting

represents my intention

and the words I want to tell you.

It's not like I don't know
what's good for me.

It's not like I don't understand

the rejections

you hide under your words.

However, I just want
to complete this painting

and wait for your answer.

(Bai Youjin)

You've bought
all of Bai Youjin's paintings.

But you didn't know
that I was Bai Youjin.

At least today,

the two names have finally
acknowledged each other.

Lei Chun,

I like you.

I like you no matter if you're Tian Chun

or Lei Chun.

I like you

no matter
if you had bought my paintings or not.

It's because
I fell for you at first sight

on Han River.

Those are

my honest feelings.

Mr. Bai, I will remember

your honest feelings.

However, to me,

you're just a friend,

just like Wang Xiaoshi and Wen Rou.

I have no other ideas about you.

Moreover,

I've already fallen for someone

long ago.

(Li's Candies)

At the edge of the market,

there was a small dried fruit store.

I met a person in that store

when I was ten.

Since then, I knew

that he's the only one

for me.

Mr. Bai, you're an exceptional man.

You will meet someone
you truly like in the future.

When you meet that person,

you'll realize

that your past love
is as transient as a fleeting cloud.

Take care.

Vice House Master Bai?

Welcome, Vice House Master Bai.

Do you recognize me?

My store is thriving
all thanks to the House's support.

Vice House Master Bai,
do you want to buy something?

I have all kinds of dried fruits

and preserved snacks available.

Have you been working here
since its opening?

That's right.

I inherited this store
from my ancestors.

It's been operating nearly 40 years
after I took over the store.

If so, I have something to ask you.

Around 13 years ago,

the Young Lady of the Six Half Hall,
Lei Chun, was here.

Do you remember what happened back then?

I do.

I think there was a fight

in this area.

I went outside and took a peek.

I saw a red-clothed young man

standing beside Miss Lei Chun.

And, he was even wielding a red sword.

♪A solitude and regretful life♪

♪I discard my attire, I cut off my past♪

♪Will happiness bloom?♪

♪Perhaps I should get rid
of mortal desires♪

♪They are the source of woes♪

♪If♪

♪It's possible, that sentiments
don't go in a blink of an eye♪

♪That to stay out of it
isn't like an unreachable dream♪

♪I'm glad to have you accompany me
on my journey♪

♪Begone, the thick evening mist♪

♪We will weather through the storms♪

♪If♪

♪It's possible,
that time can move slower♪

♪That the wish to leave behind a legacy
isn't just a wishful thinking♪

♪I found it, I pierced through
the layers of fog♪

♪I will not allow my life to be wasted♪
