[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 3]

Young Lord.

Young Lord.

As expected, the Warehouse Keeper Dong was easily scared and he confessed to everything.

The person who bribed him is Xu Jinzhong.

He's from Fengyi Prefecture and is from a family of blacksmiths.

For some reason, he took up an official post.

Now, he's in charge of military weapons in the Artillery Camp.

He would regularly give Warehouse Keeper Dong some money

and then would turn a blind eye.

As for where Xu Jinzhong transported his weapons

and sold to whom, he doesn't know.

Xu Jinzhong, an interesting name.

I just don't know

who he is loyal to.
(T/N: jinzhong means being utterly loyal)

How long has this been going on?

About half a year.

In the past six months, except for our last battle,

there have been no more wars.

Xu Jinzhong transported an abundance of weapons,

looks like his buyer has some grand plans.

Where is this person now?

Since Warehouse Keeper Dong was arrested a few days ago, he hasn't appeared in public for days.

- Continue investigating.
- Yes.

What should we do with Warehouse Keeper Dong?

He has no knowledge of the transporting of weapons.

The death penalty can be excused but he must still be punished.

As per his crime, he should be exiled to the frontiers.

Tell the prison guard

to let him go visit the Cheng family before his exile.

Catching the culprit and finding evidence

is also partly due to Cheng's fourth daughter's merit.

We can return a favor

by letting the criminal return home to see his family before his exile.

When did the Young Lord learn to return favors?

Didn't he say he didn't care about the Fourth Miss?

Don't ask anymore. Do you want to be punished?

Young Lord wouldn't do that to us.

That depends on my mood.

I'll bring Warehouse Keeper Dong home tomorrow to repay the Fourth Miss.

So many nice things.

I've never seen them before.

This hair accessory is so pretty.

These aren't all of them.

Madam cares about you.

Over the years, if she saw something,

she would save it for you.

There are more nice things?

Of course.

These are all scrolls I've selected for you.

Scrolls?

Here I thought it was something good.

Don't take it lightly. Books are the most valuable things in the world.

Select one and read it for me.

I want to see what you've learned in the past.

Then I'll select some appropriate ones for you.

[Strategies of the Warring States]

Hurry and read it.

Why aren't you reading?

My throat hurts.

Be truthful.

- Is it because you don't know many of them?
- None of them.

- None of them?
- Not all...

There are some that are familiar.

This one. “Cang."

It says "cang," right?

Something... something, something... "yi" (by)

by teaching...

something, something, "zi" (child). There are a few more I know.

It says "Canjie wrote a book by means of teaching descendants."

Yes, that's it.

Young children receive an edict to be prudent and respectful.

There are so many characters but you only recognize four?

Our Niao Niao is so smart.

I should have removed that vicious woman. We left our daughter to her

and she taught her to be like this.

Second Madam is evil and malicious.

Madam is extremely knowledgeable yet she made Young Lady into an...

Illiterate.

Right?

No problem. I also used to be illiterate.

But your mother is here.

Your mother's education, not only in our town,

but even in the whole prefecture, is very famous.

Right?

Actually, we can't totally blame Second Aunt.

I really don't like studying. Maybe I'm like Father.

Then learn slowly.

Your father was busy farming when he was young.

Afterward, he'd been fighting in wars.

He didn't study until he turned thirty.

Now he has no problems reading

government memorials and reports from everywhere.

Studying is a long road.

The Dong family is almost here.

Wife, let's go first.

Niao Niao, get dressed.

Leave all these scrolls here.

Our family has endured such a big problem.

And you still have time to beautify yourself

and make your elders wait for you?

How did I normally teach you?

Second Aunt used to say

the Dong family

is unrelated to me, so I don't need to meet them.

So I didn't know if I should come

or shouldn't come.

How are they unrelated to you?

You're my daughter.

Why can't you meet the maternal side of the family?

The less you say the better.

Everyone here is older than you.

Shaoshang is late, but we didn't say anything.

What does it have to do with you?

Third Miss has arrived.

Greetings, Grandmother.

Eldest Uncle and Aunt.
[Cheng Yang]

Mother.

How come you're late, too?

My teacher gave me a lot of assignments.

So I'm late.

I'm not praising myself, but although Yang Yang didn't grow up with me,

she's always been studious, being with her maternal uncle.

Unlike some young daughters,

who only know how to play and be naughty. Not studying at all.

Regardless, I can't spank her or reprimand her.

Really makes her elders worry.

Father. Mother. I don't like to study.

Thankfully, Second Aunt never pushed me to.

She even said that because I'm a girl,

it's enough that I can remember my husband's name in the future.

It's useless to study so much.

No need to be like my mother who is well-versed in literature and martial arts.

Stop talking already, you idiot.

If she's spoiled and uneducated,

she'll be like that young vagrant brother of mine.

Being sent to the frontiers by His Majesty to do manual labor.

My sister doesn't want me anymore.

Let's go. Help me up.

Hurry.

Cousin, why are you sitting? Let's go see the excitement.

Let's go.

Youngest Brother.

You have to take care of yourself at the frontier.

Please, please, do not do any stupid things again.

Also, your family

should not come here in the future.

For Eldest Son to climb up the official ranks, there have to be rules in place at home.

We can't live as we used to in the countryside, where anyone can come into the house.

My older sister doesn't want her youngest brother.

I was wondering from whom Grandmother got her habit of throwing a tantrum on the ground, whenever she didn't get her way.

- How am I not caring about you?
- Look.

Family genes.

We mustn't criticize our elders. If Eldest Aunt hears you, she'll punish you again.

You had servants at your beck and call.

When Father was alive, even he didn't live such a good life.

How am I letting Father down?

But you're living a better life than me!

That's only right!

The good life the Cheng family has is all due to my eldest son braving through life and death.

You're a son of the Dong family.

I'm a daughter-in-law of the Cheng family.

Although we're siblings, the ancestors we pray to are no longer the same.

Do you understand?

Today, the entire Cheng family came to see you off.

It's already a great kindness.

Entire family...

It was you!

This is the Cheng residence. You think you can do whatever you want here?

Cheng Shi, I was wondering who this ingrate took after.

She betrayed her close kin at such a young age.

Her callousness is just like yours!

- Cheng Shaoshang, no wonder she treated you like that.
- Stop talking!

Great!

Grand Uncle, what are you saying?

How did Grandmother treat me?

My older sister told me this personally.

Madam Xiao left this daughter behind.

In the future, she'll probably end up as detestable as her mother.

It's better to kick her out of the family early and save up on the Cheng family's rice.

You... You this...

Didn't you say that?

I— When did I ever say such horrible things? Don't slander me!

This... Uncle has probably gone crazy.

Why is he sprouting nonsense here?

Officers, hurry and drag him away. Quickly!

Oh, yes! You too.

You said raising this girl

was only for ten years or so. Let's turn her into a useless person!

- This way, they won't even be able to remedy it in the future.
- No...

Cheng Shaoshang, now you know

why they didn't teach you literacy and etiquette, right?

The money my nephew sent home all these years

all went into your pockets!

- That's nonsense!
- Why are you still pretending?

Bring him away! Hurry!

You Cheng family...

are heartless.

You left me to be exiled.

I want you people

to live in turmoil!

Who are you? Hurry and leave.

If you don't, we can't live in peace anymore.

Older Sister, in front of Father,

what did you vow to do?

Aren't you letting Father's spirit down?

Is there any news about Xu Jinzhong?

Young Lord, our men have been keeping watch outside his house for several days.

He hasn't returned home and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Does he have any family members?

He has no wife or children. He's all alone.

Let me ask you. If you wish to avoid being noticed,

where would you choose to go?

Naturally somewhere where I'm most familiar, but no one else can guess.

That's right.

When one is in danger, one will usually choose a familiar place.

That's why Warehouse Keeper Dong hid in the countryside

where he and Old Madam Cheng lived when they only had each other.

Xu Jinzhong has no wife or children, and his old house is in Fengyi Prefecture.

Hence in the capital, the place he's most familiar with,

other than his own residence,

is the blacksmith shop.

I'll search all the blacksmith shops in the city immediately.

Permission granted.

This darn scourge

has finally left.

I almost couldn't catch my breath because of him.

You're also a muddle-headed fool.

How can you use the reward money my eldest son worked so hard for,

to invest in the Ge Family Textile Shop? Everything's lost now.

Fortunately, my eldest and third sons are reliable.

If I had to rely on you, I'd have to drink the northwest wind.

Mother, Third Brother sent a letter saying that he can return to the capital in a few days.

He'll be able to spend the first day of the lunar new year at home.

Ever since I started fighting in the war more than ten years ago,

it's rare for us three brothers to spend time with Mother together.

It's going to be lively.

For so many years, you brothers were separated, in the east and the west.

My heart...

has never been whole.

Mother-in-law, Third Brother and his wife will meet up with

Song'er and Shaogong at Qing County and return home together.

Other than Yong'er and his wife who are still guarding the borders and thus unable to return,

our whole family will be reunited.

Right, that's right.

You, hurry and tidy up the place.

It's been a long time since our Cheng family has been so boisterous.

Mother-in-law, but...

How is it possible to empty out so many rooms at once?

Oh, right! Didn't they say to prepare a study room for Fourth Miss earlier?

I don't think she'll have a use for it.

How about we use those two rooms for my nephews first?

Fourth Miss, I don't think you'll mind letting your older brothers stay in them. Right?

But Mother said I need to study every day. What will I do?

If your heart is bent on studying, every place will be like a study.

This is just for an emergency.

Sister-in-law is right. If you truly want to study,

you'll be able to do so even in the stables or the straw shed.

Niao Niao, didn't I ask you to study in your room every day?

Why aren't you going?

Qing Cong, you supervise Niao Niao. If she doesn't finish memorizing, don't allow her to eat or sleep.

Since Sister-in-law doesn't object either,

I'll get someone to empty out the study tomorrow.

Those two are my precious grandsons,

how can they squeeze together to sleep in the study? Since you have no sons,

and there're only a few people in Second Son's household,

how about you move out of the master bedroom and exchange places with your eldest brother-in-law.

No!

Mother-in-law, you don't understand.

Th-The master bedroom only looks good.

But actually, it's old, in disrepair, and humid. It isn't suitable for living.

Then hurry and repair the place.

It's perfect timing and just in time for the lunar new year

to welcome my precious son and grandsons home.

It's all my fault for marrying a useless bum like you.
[Cheng Cheng]

All you do the whole day is stare at these books and scrolls.

Instead, you leave your wife to fight the battles outside.

In your Cheng family,

your oldest brother is a general who fights wars,

your younger brother is a civil official.

You're the only one who is useless.

Now, we can't even keep the master bedroom anymore!

All these useless scrolls!

If they can't even help keep the master bedroom,

we might as well burn them, once and for all!

My scrolls!

Father!

- Father...
- My scrolls!

Be careful, Father. Don't worry, I'll go.

- I'll do it.
- Be careful.

Be careful. Be careful.

- Are you all right?
- I'm fine.

It's only right for the eldest son and his children to occupy the master bedroom.

It's only because Elder Brother was always away at war

that we took over the master bedroom. Now it's only right for us to return it.

Nonsense!

It's been two hours.

Have you memorized the first ten lines of "Jijiupian"?
(T/N: a Chinese character primer containing a series of orthographic word lists)

Mother, I'm hungry.

I'm afraid I have no more energy to study.

Instead, I think you going hungry

can help you clear your mind.

You can't rush studying.

Here, Niao Niao, have something to fill your tummy. Eat.

For every piece you eat, you'll have to memorize five more sentences.

Wife, Niao Niao suffered so much in the past.

Aren't you being too strict with her?

If General thinks I'm being too strict,

I don't wish to be the bad person either.

From now on, you teach your daughter yourself.

Your mother is right.

As the saying goes, a lenient mother often leads to a spoiled child. Only a strict teacher can lead to a brilliant student.

Learn well from your mother.

You'll definitely amount to something in the future.

I shall not disturb you further.

Take the desserts away.

If Brother-in-law is keeping you at home to take care of Old Madam,

we should get some kind of reward. Right?

If it wasn't because of your handicap,

how could Yang Yang have been born a girl?

Twenty-some years and just because I don't have a son,

I've never been able to stand up in front of your mother.

I was thinking about adopting my youngest nephew,

but Fourth Miss messed it up as well.

And now,

I don't have a son

and I don't even get to stay in this master bedroom.

You're still saying they're not bullying us?

Actually... Actually the side courtyard is good, too.

If Father lives there, he'll be able to read in peace.

Shut up already.

Do you think I don't know?

Every time I starved the Fourth Miss,

it was always you secretly giving her food.

That's why I've never managed to get her under control!

You're spoiling my plan and helping her, instead of your closest family!

Look at your father-daughter attitude.

A cat and a squirrel.

How did I get wrapped up with you two?

I would rather have given birth to someone black-hearted like that Fourth Miss.

In the past, when I didn't listen to Second Aunt, she would starve me.

When I felt dizzy and lightheaded from hunger,

then, of course, I'd listen to whatever she said.

I never thought, now that I'm reunited with my mother, it's the same way.

You don't use your efforts to study.

What do you want to do?

I want to know why buildings are so tall,

why the carriages can travel so far,

and why crops grow in the field.

I also want to see the real world.

After I've seen the world,

I can still return and study these virtues and principles.

You're clearly just lazy and want to play, yet you use them as excuses.

You don't want to learn the virtues and principles because you're unruly and have no morals.

You don't want to listen to others

because you're unforgiving.

Do you think I can't see through you?

You tattled on Uncle Dong. Fine.

Then intimidated your grandmother and secretly tattled on your second aunt.

All these years, I can't just overlook all that they've done.

I tattled on them

and did an extremely great deed for the Cheng family. How is that wrong?

It's wrong because you're young

and don't know the consequences of your actions.

You think government politics is child's play.

You almost took our whole family down. And you think you're so smart.

If I don't teach you properly, there will be a day

when you will make a huge mistake and bring down our family.

Sit here and study.

Being bullied to death and still doing nothing?

If I take beatings and reprimands,

I'll already be bullied to death.

You want me to learn from you? In order to save face,

endure it for over a decade?

Now even the master bedroom is occupied by Second Aunt.

Why are you pretending to be virtuous and open-minded?

That's not right.

According to Mother's personality,

how would she let Second Aunt bully her?

Second Aunt, are you sleeping?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see the courtyard I'll soon be living in.

Fourth Miss, don't think you have someone to rely on now that your parents are back.

You dare come here to laugh at your elder?

Why don't you look at your mother

and see if she'll really stand up for you.

Second Aunt, it looks like you already know

many things between my mother and I.

That's right. I sent someone to follow you both.

I just wanted to see

after you two were reunited,

how much affection can there be?

It looks like there's not much between you two.

Since you already know

then I'll speak plainly.

Do you still want to live in the master bedroom?

What scheme do you have now?

What do you mean?

My mother returned from the battlefield.

If you fight fire with fire, how can you defeat her?

But if Second Aunt uses offspring to persuade Grandmother,

who knows whether you'll have a son or not in the future.

Fourth Miss, do I need you to tell me that?

You would be this kindhearted

and stand with me against your mother?

Are you trying to trick me?

Why would I?

You've seen it. As long as my mother is miserable, I'm happy.

Second Aunt, it's getting late. I'm going now.

Rest early.

You know. I know.

Little brat.

As least I didn't waste my effort in teaching her.

Finally, I've raised a good child

for Eldest Sister-in-law.

Peace be to Mother-in-law.

Have you finished tidying up the master bedroom?

Mother, originally, Sister-in-law said she didn't want to tire us.

They didn't mind living in the back courtyard.

So that's why I reluctantly stayed in the master bedroom.

Now they say the nephews are returning.

There's no way I can move out so quickly.

They said some polite things to you and you believed it?

Eldest Son is the master of the family.

You live in the master bedroom and refuse to move.

Do you want others to laugh at us for being unruly?

It's not because I don't want to move.

I've asked the Old Immortal.

Old Immortal said the master bedroom is good for conceiving.

When Sister-in-law lived there,

they had many children.

She had three sons.

But you've lived there so many years and I haven't seen anything.

It's true. I can't conceive as well as Sister-in-law.

Please take pity on behalf of my husband.

He's past the age of thirty but still no son.

Brother-in-law has many sons.

Of course, they don't believe in these superstitions.

But for us unfortunate ones,

Mother, we should believe.

How is that a lot of sons?

Eldest Son has three sons. I don't think that's a lot.

Old Immortal's words may not be true.

If I didn't believe him then,

I wouldn't have left Niao Niao here.

So many years with no one to look after her.

How is Old Immortal wrong?

My health returned because of Old Immortal.

Exactly.

I feel like the Old Immortal is right.

Since the master bedroom is good for conceiving,

then you can continue to live there.

Yes.

Mother-in-law, if Sister-in-law

never has a son, then she never has to move?

Correct. Continuing the family line is of utmost importance.

Mother, today I swear.

If I don't have a son,

then I won't move.

Sister-in-law, no one can change Mother-in-law's decision.

Conceiving a son is of utmost importance.

In the future, you'll have to suffer a bit, living in the back courtyard.

As long as you don't regret your decision in the future.

I've long heard that Sister-in-law likes to compete with others.

Today, I've really seen it.

Being a woman,

we have to know when to act weak.

If it wasn't because you pushed Niao Niao too hard,

how would she come up with a scheme for me

to fight against you for the master bedroom?

What does this have to do with Niao Niao?

Niao Niao isn't very smart.

Sister-in-law, you can't make her a genius no matter how hard you push her.

It's better to let her be more free.

If I may say so, raising a daughter isn't like leading soldiers.

You can't rush it. You must teach according to their aptitude.

Yang Yang enjoys learning. She can learn from the books of the sages.

Niao Niao is good at arguing. We should teach her the ways of a woman's world.

Of course, Niao Niao isn't my biological child.

Why am I here worrying about her?

Even if I worry,

could I take the place of you, her biological mother?

What are you doing, Young Miss?

Mother punished me to copy the books. I'm modifying the brush.

Once I'm done with this brush, I can write three words when I write one stroke.

Isn't it awesome?

See?

Try it.

I have another one.

It really works! One stroke gives three words.

Young Miss, you are so smart.

I'm afraid she is too smart for her own good.

Why do you look so panicked?

Leave. I need to talk to Niao Niao.

- Hurry and go.
- Yes.

Did you look for Second Aunt last night

to give her tips on how to stay in the master bedroom?

Since we're moving to a new house,

just give her the master bedroom of the old house.

How did you know we're moving to a new house?

Second Aunt occupied the master bedroom, but Mother isn't opposed to it.

I know Mother's temperament and you're not someone who would easily compromise.

My guess is...

it must be because Mother knows it's useless for her to occupy it,

that's why you abandoned it.

Besides, Father won the battle with Uncle Wan.

The Royal Court has not awarded Father yet.

Calculating the days,

it is about time.

Your Second Aunt and I have grudges now and then.

It is our problem. You don't need to get involved.

You are not the only one who has grudges against her.

They've bullied me, humiliated me.

Mother pretends not to see it.

I just gave her a taste of her own medicine.

How come you can't stand it?

Your father and I were not with you and couldn't teach you.

Madam Ge raised you up to be a reckless girl.

We didn't do our part as parents.

It's fine that you pretended to be ill

or reported your elders. I can let it go.

But this is the last time I will tolerate your behavior.

I will not let it go easily if you do it again.

You should conduct yourself well from now on.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Where is the other one?

Read your books.

Conduct myself well.

Conduct myself well.

Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, receive the edict.

Commander Cheng Shi

is reputed to be wise in helping the nation to prosper, and he should be conferred to be a pillar of the country.

Cheng Shi is patriotic and filial, and has achieved many military victories.

He is now conferred as Marquis, the domain of Quling,

a fiefdom of 500 households, to publicize his meritorious deeds.

This subject accepts the decree and thanks His Majesty's grace.

[Cheng Manor]

Please rise, Marquis Quling.

Marquis Quling, congratulations.

Thank you, Eunuch.

Old man...

Old man, you've given us a blessing.

Our eldest son has made it.

He's a general and now conferred as a marquis.

It's such an incredibly happy event!

Mother, it's more than that.

I heard that His Majesty also bestowed a lot of farm land to him.

Eldest Brother has brought honor to the ancestors and the family.

We are truly happy for you.

We've heard the decree already, why don't you go back to the room?

If you get blown by the wind and get a chill, Mother will worry for you again.

Your wife is right.

Oh my second son, second son.

If you were half as successful as the eldest son and third son,

I could close my eyes and go see your father.

Mother, among us three brothers,

the one who has worried

and worked the hardest for this family is Second Brother.

How can you say that he isn't successful?

Second Brother, you usually enjoy reading the most.

This time, His Majesty has bestowed many books.

Go choose whatever you like.

Thank you, Eldest Brother.

Eldest Son, your second brother has been filial to me in your place.

So you're giving him some books.

Then, my son, I brought you up step by step every day.

Are you going to...

leave a little something for your mother?

Of course, I won't forget Mother.

All the gold and valuables will go to you, Mother.

My son! My son! Tell me. What did His Majesty bestow?

A lot. All those treasures,

not only have I not seen them,

I haven't even heard about them before.

When they carried them past me,

- there were so many that I didn't have enough eyes to watch.
- Don't say anymore.

- Don't say anymore. Take me there so that I can see for myself.
- Okay.

That's nothing really.

I heard His Majesty bestowed General Wan a huge manor.

Yes?

Yes. But Brother Wan said,

he will give us his current manor.

Mother, at that time, you will live in Old Madam Wan's

current place.

Yuanyi and I will live in General Wan's previous place.

Previously, when I visited General Wan's manor,

I really liked that house.

I never could have imagined that we would move in there someday.

Sister-in-law won't need to move there.

Didn't you say that, if you never give birth to a son,

you'd live in the master bedroom forever?

Since the master bedroom is so beneficial for you, you should stay.

Stay until you die.

Don't worry, no one will bother you.

Even Second Brother will move into the new manor with us.

He'll definitely not bother you.

Mother... Mother, please make decisions for me.

Make what decision?

What you've been wanting, Sister-in-law,

is today. Isn't that right?

Old Immortal has made the decision for you.

Don't forget you pledged an oath in front of Old Immortal.

- Isn't that right, Mother?
- Yes. Yes.

- Yes, to what?
- Yes, to hurry up to see the treasures.

Oh, yes! Yes, that's right.

I should hurry up to see the treasures bestowed by His Majesty.

Go, Second Brother, I'll take you to see.

Eldest Brother, thank you.

Come, come! Let's see if there's anything you like.

Tell me quickly. What books has His Majesty bestowed?

- Go. We'll go together.
- Let's go. We'll see together.

Cheng Shaoshang!
