[Love in the Galaxy]

[Episode 7]

[Marquis Quling's Manor]

Congratulations on moving into your new residence, General Cheng.

- Thank you so much. Please come inside.
- Brother!

Congratulations on your new residence.

- Brother Wan. Brother Wan.
- Congratulations.

Today you have a lot of company here.

Oh, right! In a few days will be my mother's birthday feast.
[Wan Songbai]

Your family must all come.

We younger generations will definitely attend Old Madam's birthday.

Why isn't Qiqi here?

She originally wanted to come, but my mother had her stay home.

It's her fault because she went horse riding a few days ago and caught a cold.

Oh, right! Where's your fairy daughter? Let me meet her.

Niao Niao, come meet Uncle Wan. Come here.

Greetings, Uncle Wan.

Good. Good.

Brother, I thought your excessive compliments about your daughter

were boastful. I never thought

you really did such a great job raising her.

Oh, right!

Take this, Niao Niao. It's my hello gift from me.

Take it.

Thank you, Uncle Wan.

- You're welcome.
- She's just a child.

Isn't your gift too precious?

What do you mean? Only good items are suitable for Niao Niao.

Niao Niao, your father and I are sworn brothers.

From now on, if you run into any trouble, come and find me. I'll definitely have your back.

Especially if your mother gives you trouble.

Come and find me any time.

All right.

Niao Niao, don't just stand here.

Go serve your grandmother.

Hurry and put that away. Why don't you know any manners?

You wife is just too rigid.

She talks about rules with you and also for Niao Niao.

If people have rules for everything, then how boring would life be?

Who said it's boring? When I go out now, people don't make fun of me for being rough around the edges.

Thank goodness for Yuanyi teaching me.

Young Master Yuan, son of Yuan Zhoumu from the Yuan family in Jiaodong, gifts 10,000 qian as a token of congratulations!

Our family has no connection with the Yuan family from Jiaodong.

When did you send the invitation?

General, I didn't invite the Yuan family.

You haven't been promoted for that long, so I haven't gotten the chance to acquaint myself with these noble families.

But I heard that Yuan Shen is usually as cunning as a fox.

This time they came on their own. What are they scheming?

How would I dare scheme in front of you two generals?

Young Master Yuan.

My father and Eldest Young Master of Marquis Quling's family were taught by the same teacher.

My father said that his teacher often praised how clever his junior fellow was.

I have admired your eldest son for a long time.

Today, I heard word of your housewarming, so I came without invitation.

But my eldest son isn't home.

Like father, like son.

I thought if I could personally see your elegant manner,

it's equal to a chance to see how elegant Young Master is.

Young Master Shanjian, welcome.

I didn't know that my eldest son had such a reputation.

Brother Wan, please come inside.

Your earring is so nice.

My husband gifted it to me yesterday.

You're so lucky to have such a good husband.

Please, come inside.

Please, Lord Liu.

You came all the way to my humble place. I'm so honored.

You're too polite.

- Come inside, please.
- All right. Let's find Lord Li over there.

Young Master Cheng.

Lord Song. Lord Li.

- This way, please.
- What a good-looking man.

Both of you, please come with me.

Come on! Hurry! Hurry!

Over here.

Carry it carefully.

Because of General Cheng's promotion, Old Madam is looking more radiant now.

You've become more youthful.

You've never seen me in my youth.

Back then I was really lovely.

Even though we can say my appearance hasn't changed much,

but I'm no longer eighteen.

Right?

When did grandmother have that hair piece made? It's so thick.

Grandmother added two full taels of gold to it.

Why didn't you try to talk her out of it? How embarrassing.

I wouldn't dare.

- Old Madam Cheng, we wish you good health.
- Thank you.

This is Wang Ling, daughter of General of Chariots and Cavalry, Wang Chun.
[Lou Li]

Her mother Lady Wenxiu is the empress's cousin.

Today, she came with us to congratulate the Cheng Family.

[Wang Ling]
I originally didn't want to come.

But because my father had some connections with General Cheng, he ordered me to come.

Fine, fine. I don't want you to feel uneasy with old women like us.

Yang Yang, hurry and invite our guests to sit and enjoy themselves.

Yes.

Please come this way.

So that's the rumored Fourth Miss of the Cheng family.

Seeing is believing.

She is arrogant indeed.

Right?

I heard that it was exactly because she was too rude and ignorant,

that her Second Aunt locked her in a room not allowing her to go out.

Not to mention visiting others.

But things are different now. She has her parents backing her up now.

In the future, we'll be running into her more.

Cousin, you are proof today. I have not acted in an unruly way at all.

But some people humiliate others. I don't know who's more unruly.

My younger sister was raised by my mother.

My mother wasn't able to guide her properly.

That's not Niao Niao's fault.

I thought Young Master Shanjian was coming here, too. Why have I not seen him?

Miss Wang, you're here to see Young Master Shanjian as well?

Of course. I was just bored at home.

I heard that there's a big celebration at the Cheng Manor. So I came over to take a look.

Young Master Shanjian!

Look! Young Master Shanjian is here!

I'm from the Yuan family in Jiaodong. Old Madam, I wish you good health.

Good, good, good.

Young Lady,

I have lost my manners.

Return to you!

Young Miss, it's cold in the yard. Why did you come out?

Here, put on this coat. Don't freeze.

I'd rather freeze to death than sit with them.

These people mock me every chance they get.

I'm tired of arguing with them.

I came out to get some fresh air.

Young Miss, why do you need to lower yourself to their level?

Young Miss, when you were leaving, did you see a handsome Young Master arrive?

Who cares who he is?

I'm going to get some air. You don't need to follow me.

Young Miss, how are you doing?

You?

What? Young Lady,

you don't welcome me?

We are honored by the presence of Young Master Yuan, how would I dare not welcome you?

My father and my brother are both in Jiuzhui Hall.

Young Master Yuan, you can find them there for a chat.

But I specifically came here to find you.

I've done nothing else but catch your embroidered ball. I've already returned it to you.

Why did you chase me all the way to my house? Is that necessary?

Hey.

You just turn and leave.

Is that how the Cheng family treats their guests?

Isn't that a little rude?

We don't know each other and our families are not acquainted.

Young Master Yuan blocking me here is truly rude, isn't it?

If you have something to say, why not just say it?

All right. Straightforward talk for a straightforward person. I just want to ask you

to pass my words to your Third Aunt, Madam Sang.

If you wanted to tell Third Aunt something, you can tell her in person.

Why are you being so round about?

There's a reason that I can't tell others.

I can only ask you to help.

The matter isn't significant nor trivial—

Hurry up and say it.

You agreed this fast?

What do you want to say to Third Aunt? Just say it.

Young Lady, this is what I need you to tell Madam Sang: "I knew it was a lie but I would rather believe it was sincere.

I look forward to meeting you in the Li Palace in the south of the city.

I ascend the Lan platform to look at you from afar

and it feels like a dream.

The request of your old friend

is nothing more but the sound of the wind and water.

That's all I ask."

Young Lady, is there something bothering you?

I didn't understand what you said.

I didn't understand a single thing you said.

Can you get rid of all the excessive words?

This isn't excessive.

It's an ode.

Then get rid of those excessive things in the ode.

Just say one sentence. I can remember one sentence.

Fine. Young Lady, please pass along,

"Your old friend misses you, and only wants to say a few words..."

Got it.

She definitely didn't remember it.

Come.

Try this one.

This is good. What is the brand?

Did they defame me after I left?

No. Young Master Yuan came.

Right now, they have no time to worry about us.

Come, please.

Who invited Yuan Shanjian here?

Is our family acquainted with the Yuan family?

According to Young Master Yuan, his father and eldest cousin

were taught by the same teacher.

That's a pretty distant connection.

Plus, my older brother isn't home.

He's really put in a lot of effort just to get acquainted with our family.

Whoever came is our guest. We shouldn't be gossiping about him.

Could it be you...

think he's a good person?

I... I... haven't even spoken a word to Young Master Yuan. How would I know if he's good or bad?

If you speak to him, you'll know what he's like.

He is nothing but an abrupt philanderer.

This matter isn't significant nor trivial—

Hurry up and say it.

Cousin, I want to ask you something.

Have you ever heard of this kind of "ode"?

I I knew it was a lie but I would rather believe it was sincere. I look forward to meeting you in the Li Palace in the south of the city.

- Something like... palace in the south of town.
- I ascend the Lan platform...

Lan platform.

- And... And...
- The request of your old friend

is nothing more but the sound of the wind and water.

Is it the famous ode of Long Gate by Sima Xiangru?

Maybe. Is it a famous ode?

It's not that famous.

But people love its flow and it doesn't discuss any politics.

So it's often given to girls to read for fun.

Niao Niao, don't worry. Once Eldest Aunt teaches you a bit more, you'll be just as knowledgeable as others.

No need. I think I'm good the way I am. I don't need anyone to teach me.

You are good.

Fabric! Superb quality fabric for sale!

Vegetables for sale!

Come take a look!

Come!

The invitation said they're inviting the Cheng Family Young Lady.

They never said if they were inviting you or me.

Of course, they're inviting you. I'm lucky because of you.

If it wasn't Wang Ling who invited you to Princess Yuchang's birthday party,

Mother wouldn't have let me leave to come with you to

pick a birthday gift for the princess.

Where is the lantern from?

General, I purchased all of them from the market.

A few of them were also left here by guests for people to come guess the lantern riddles.

Let's go!

I've investigated it. These lanterns are different from the one Prince Xiao has.

After making such a huge commotion, they wouldn't leave the same lanterns for us to find.

They decided to destroy the evidence no matter the cost.

This proves that we didn't investigate the wrong person.

Did you guys find anything regarding Prince Xiao's spending over the last six months?

Just as you guessed, within the last six months,

that Prince Xiao complained about not having enough money to support his living in the capital.

But in the past six months, he was very generous when it came to money.

He's been traveling, drinking, and having fun all day.

Does he have any properties?

He has a few shops in town.

But he's not good at doing business and lost all his money.

In the first half of the year, he wanted to rent these shops out.

But in the end, he did not rent out any of them,

but had some extra money to open a few more shops.

Warehouse Keeper Dong and Xu Jinzhong did business for half a year,

and Prince Xiao was rich during the same period.

Nobody would believe it if we said they were not related.

Send people to find as much trouble as possible for Prince Xiao's shops.

We have to cut off their source of income. If they're used to being extravagant,

they won't settle for an ascetic life. He'll definitely take the risk again.

If he contacts his accomplice,

we'll have a chance to find the person who embezzled the armaments.

Isn't that the Cheng family's carriage?

Young Lord, something bad happened. Madam Chunyu is visiting the residence.

Let's go back home.

Young Lady, we're here.

Young Lady, I've been waiting for you here for quite a while.

- May I ask if this is the inn that General Cheng, the Marquis of Quling, established?
- It is.

Our young master was on a long trip and he is short of something.

I'm wondering if I may ask for some firewood from you.

Please come with me.

Young Master Yuan. It's cold outside. Why don't you come inside and get some rest?

No need.

Young Master Yuan, it's been several days of not seeing you, so my older brother is missing you.

He wonders when you will get together again to recite poetry and sing?

Young Lady, you must be mistaken.

“I knew it was a lie but I would rather believe it was sincere. I look forward to meeting you in the Li Palace in the south of the city."

"I ascend the Lan platform to look at you from afar."

That day, what I said to discuss again

was an ode, not poetry.

Fine.

Ode.

Ode.

The scenery is good today. I am idle in free time.

I happened to want to find someone to chat with about poetry, prose, odes, and songs.

I wonder, is Miss Cheng available to talk on the side?

Why did you want to meet me, Young Master Yuan?

I've been waiting for Young Lady for several days but haven't received a reply.

Have you forgotten that I asked you to pass a message to your Third Aunt, Madam Sang?

I never wanted to pass a message for you.

What's this about forgetting or not forgetting?

Do you understand the reasoning of once a promise is made, even a fast stallion cannot chase it back?

No.

That's right. I didn't keep the promise. So what?

I don't have a horse, nor four of them.
(She made a mistake thinking he said four horses, but he meant fast horses)

For all the matters in the world, they are either pleading,

threatening, or using.

Since Young Lady won't speak civilly,

I have other ways, too.

Scared now?

Don't worry. I can't do anything to you.

I have some reputation. If you are willing to pass the message for me,

I'll be willing to do something for you in the future to reciprocate the favor.

Anything?

Except for scheming to revolt, reneging on promises,

and not being able to marry you, anything else is fine.

I... When did I ever say that I wanted you to marry me?

When did I every say that I wanted to marry you?

Young Lady has never wanted to marry me,

that is really a surprise to me.

You kept delaying the passing of the message. Weren't you keeping me on the hook

so that you can lure me to meet you?

If you really don't want to have anything to do with me,

why haven't you just quickly passed the message to Madam Sang?

From then on, we would not come across each other at all.

Well said.

Young Master Yuan, it's my fault.

Your lecture just now

has made me suddenly understand.

Since I've been asked to help, I should faithfully complete the request.

Let's do this. When I go back today,

I will pass the message to Third Aunt. No need to thank me.

Also, please forgive me for my delay.

From now on, we don't owe each other anything.

If I still need you to pass a message in the future, what then?

If Third Aunt doesn't mind,

when Young Master Yuan asks me to pass a message,

I naturally will not decline. But if Third Aunt doesn't like it,

I will certainly respect the elders.

Young Master Yuan,

let's never see each other again.

Whether we'll never see each other again, is not up to you.

It's up to me.

Those of you close guards should take good care in serving.

All the way to your general's manor, I've noticed how cold and cheerless it was.

Not to mention smoke and fire (for cooking), there aren't

even a few flowers and plants.

There isn't even a personal maidservant.

Where is your young master?

I like the quiet.

I don't like flowers and plants.

Zisheng, no wonder.

You are surrounded by rough guys.

Naturally, they don't understand these things.

As I see it, you have everything in a general's manor

except for someone who can take care of the details.

What are you doing here?

I am your stepmother.

No matter what, we are one family. Why can't I come here?

We are indeed one family.

You and Marquis Chengyang are cousins.

When I was a child, I even called you aunt.

Soon after, you took the opportunity of my mother and me straying outside,

you climbed up to Marquis Chengyang's bed

and became his second wife (of a widower).

Around and around,

we indeed became one family.

Even if you hate us, the parents,

don't make yourself suffer.

Princess Yuchang of Prince Ruyang's Manor is really adoring and friendly to you.

You must cherish this good match.

See? In a few days, it'll be the princess' birthday.

You should go.

See the guest off.

I haven't finished talking yet.

I've finished.

Young Lord, do we go to Princess Yuchang's birthday feast?

They especially sent over the invitation.

Go receive the punishment of a beating of ten rods.

Why do I need to get beaten?

Did I do something wrong?

If you still want to keep your buttocks, then control your hands.

Why did I make this move?

Mr. Yang.

Yuan Shanjian, you're finally back.

If you agree, I will immediately help my sister

exchange birthday details with you.
(T/N: for fortunetelling to see if they 're a good match)

Don't worry. As I look around the capital, there isn't any young lady

who is more suitable than my younger sister to marry you.

This... Isn't this the book I gave you?

Unless... you won't be friends with me anymore?

You gave me a book, of course I'd have to reciprocate.

I marked a few places of mistakes to remind you

to be more diligent in studies

and spend less time intervening in other people's marriages.

You...

You don't know what's good for you.

I heard that this Yang Sikong is a famous scholar in the capital.

His younger sister is beautiful,

with a quiet and gentle demeanor.

She's both talented and good-looking. Why did you make him leave in anger?

It doesn't matter. What happened here today,

he'll be too embarrassed to tell anyone anyway.

Young Master, even Madam doesn't concern herself with your marriage.

So I shouldn't mention this.

But I watched you grow up after all

and I am concerned about you.

Young Master, you're already twenty-one.

When are you intending to get married?

Who said one must get married?

Father and Mother have been married for over twenty years.

But they hardly have anything to say to each other.

If married life is so boring,

I rather not get married.

Is there not a single lady in this world

that Young Master finds interesting enough to want to marry?

If I do meet an interesting lady, must I marry her?

For a clan, marriage is like icing on a cake.

For a lady, it's reliance and climbing the social ladder.

But to me, what I've seen since young is that they're just making do.

I, Yuan Shanjian, will never do something that has no benefits.

My wife's fingers are softer than my face.

If you continue to talk nonsense, I may end up cutting your face.

Mother will then cry till the city walls collapse.

Every part of me is yours.

It's just cutting my face.

Even if you want to embroider on my face,

I'll let you do it.

Third Aunt!

Third...

Third Aunt, I have something to tell you.

Third Uncle, can I ask you to leave the room for a bit?

Can't you see that your elders are busy?

What's so important that you cannot say it later?

Ignore him. Come over.

Whatever it is, feel free to say it.

It's all right, just say it. There aren't any of my matters that your Third Uncle doesn't know about.

I'll say it then.

Go ahead.

There's a man called Yuan Shanjian.

He wanted me to pass a message to Third Aunt.

He said a long passage of some really confusing... ode.

I can't remember any of it. But basically, the main meaning is

an old friend is concerned and wishes to have a word or two.

Old friend?

Why couldn't he come personally and made you pass the message instead?

Is Yuan Shanjian the little disciple he took in that year?

Little disciple?

So he's the one.

What does he want?

How would I know?

Anyway, that's what he said.

Apart from that, he didn't say anything else.

Have a word or two...

What word or two?

I haven't seen that person for over ten years.

Oh, I remember now.

It must be because I caught a cold some time ago,

and you were asking for doctors and prescriptions for me everywhere. He must have heard of it.

So that's what it is.

But you've recovered from your cough for quite some time.

Why is he still worrying about you?

- Give me a moment.
- Okay.

Here you are.

Please deliver this to him.

Third Aunt, is that all you're writing down here?
[I've recovered from the cough. Don't worry.]

Aren't you going to sign your name?

He knows my handwriting. There's no need to.

[I've recovered from the cough. Don't worry.]

Third Aunt, aren't you going to tell us the story behind this?

For example, what's the name of that person?

And what happened between him and Third Aunt?

It's a long story.

No problem at all.

If it's a long story, you can take your time.

And I'll be patient enough for the whole story. Tell me.

When people say "It's a long story,"

it means they don't want to talk about it.

That's what it means?

Fine. If you don't want to talk about it.

But, Third Aunt, can you tell me

why that Yuan person won't come to talk to you in person?

Why did he have to send the message through me?

I once said this to someone.

Whether it's you, or your friends, or your students,

they should not come to see me again,

or send letters or tokens to me.

I said that out of anger when I was young.

But that person was a stubborn one, and he agreed.

I see.

Anyhow, how did you and Yuan Shanjian meet?

This...

is a long story.

Look at you.

Have you found anything about what I've asked you to investigate?

Young Miss of the Cheng family went to their own shop to pick a birthday gift.

Princess Yuchang sent an invitation to the Cheng family, too.

Who asked you about Fourth Miss Cheng?

I'm asking about Prince Xiao.

Has he visited the Tian family's restaurant recently?

We've been keeping an eye on Prince Xiao for a few days.

He's been with General He's daughter, He Zhaojun, all the time.

Warehouse Keeper Dong is in exile.

Xu Jinzhong committed suicide.

If Prince Xiao still wants to engage in the armament business in the long run,

he can only obtain armaments from other places.

If he becomes General He's son-in-law,

naturally, it will be more convenient for him to get the armaments.

General He may not necessarily join forces with him.

Prince Yong only appoints those people who are close to him.

No wonder his son tends to think of others the same way,

hoping that General He would do the same.

Do we still have the invitation that Princess Yuchang sent over?

Let's pay a visit to Prince Ruyang's Manor, too.

I threw it away already.

Well, Young Lord, didn't you say you weren't going?

General He and Prince Ruyang are old friends.

He Zhaojun must go to Prince Ruyang's Manor

to celebrate Princess Yuchang's birthday.

And since Prince Xiao is staying with her all the time, he'll definitely go there, too.

A'Fei.

Have you recovered from your injury?

It was just ten strokes on my back.

I already applied some medicine. It no longer hurts.

Okay.

Then go receive ten more strokes.

Why?

You threw away the important invitation letter. Isn't that worth ten strokes?

If you get the invitation letter back, this punishment can be waived.

Go!

[Prince Ruyang's Manor]

His manor is so big!

Sister, you've picked a very nice dress.

I think Niao Niao's beauty and manner are not inferior to those girls from noble families.

Yang Yang is good, too. She's gentle and confident.

That's true.

If anyone says they're unfairly treated again, it won't be your fault.

Niao Niao! Don't run around.

Who is that?

Looks like she's put on all the accessories from her dressing box.

Wan Qiqi.

She's the Wan family's tenth...

Which daughter is she, Second Brother?

Tenth?

- Thirteenth.
- Thirteenth?

Wan Qiqi is in fact the youngest daughter of the family.

But she always thinks of herself as the most prestigious one in the capital.
[Wan Qiqi]

She's always more extravagant than others no matter where she is.

Who are you gossiping about?

Cheng Song! Cheng Shaogong!

Greetings, Aunts.

These two must be younger sisters Shaoshang and Yang Yang!

Why are you in such plain dresses?

I'll ask someone to send a few more beautiful dresses to you.

Plain dresses are fine.

- They make us look more gentle.
- Yes.

In a tiger's lair like this, why do you need to look gentle?

Come on! Older Sister will help you dress up!

I think there's still something missing.

Let me take a look.

Sister Qiqi, isn't this your birthday gift for Princess Yuchang...

Hey, don't worry about it. I've got plenty of them.

This one looks nice.

Now you look so much better.

Be careful.

Looks great!

Aunts, I'll take my two younger sisters to...

Please go.

Come with me! Sister will show you something cool.

I'm telling you! There's no need to worry. I'm here to help you!

Are you sure that it was the Fourth Miss of the Cheng family that ruined my plan that night?

It was her.

If it weren't for her, the romantic story of Princess and General Ling would have spread across the capital!

Princess, you can just watch today.

I invited her to come here so we can take revenge for you.

Let's go.

Where should we sit?

There's so much food here!
