[Wrong Carriage Right Groom]

[Episode 3]

[Qi Residence]

[Watch this!]

Third Young Master.

[Who is it?]

It's me.

I'm sending you the medicine.

Third Young Mistress.

The strings...

I was just playing.

Xiaoqiao,

you're the maid lead of Grandmother,

not one of my servants.

Why do you keep coming to my place?

Third Young Master,

here's the medicine.

Put it there.

Third Young Mistress,

the medicine

is a secret recipe from a famous doctor.

Eighteen precious crude herbs.

Young Master Ke tried so hard

to get these herbs.

Third Young Master,

you'd better take it while it's hot.

Do you want Third Young Mistress to feed you?

Alright, I'll sweep the floor first.

No need.

Xiaoxi will do that.

Get out.

Then...

I'll come back later for the pot.

Why are you doing this?

Neither taking the medicine too often

nor refusing to take it is a good choice.

Sometimes you have to take it.

Sometimes you shouldn't take it.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I'm just saying

let's go out for a walk.

Great. I haven't gone out for a while.

[Hidden World]

Here.

It's beautiful.

What's this place?

This is a garden built by Grandmother

for me to recuperate.

That

[Garden of Harmony] is the calligraphy I wrote for the garden.

Guard of the Honey.

What did you say?

Guard of Honey.

It's a beautiful garden.

Why such a strange name?

Why are you laughing?

Did I read them wrong?

You read them right.

You are always right.

Let's take a look.

♪Enjoying fine liquor while admiring the view♪

♪Consuming the cure of my longing♪

♪Breaking dawn together with you in my dream♪

Mispronounce majorly.

The well educated Miss Du

is actually illiterate.

Strange.

But,

♪The night is too lonely♪

♪Remembering your beautiful looks♪

♪Sleeping on the pillow of lovesickness I long for you♪

she's quite fun.

♪It blows the worries in the mortal realm♪

This pavilion

is quite nice.

♪Borrowing the shining moonlights♪

♪l capture your smile at the corners of the earth♪

♪The night scenery floats adrift♪

♪Combined with my longing for you♪

♪Creating my intertwining thoughts of you♪

We're here.

♪Alongside the shining moonlights♪

♪My longing for you shakes the earth♪

This is my study.

♪Breaking dawn together with you in my dream♪

How is it?

Not bad.

By the way,

how do you like this calligraphy?

[Enlightened and Thus Happy]

Good.

Read it.

Enlightened and...

Happy.

The third

is...

is...

this...

This!

Enlightened and This Happy.

I know.

Everyone knows the word "this"?

So funny.

Yeah.

Your is so beautiful,

but why do you have to build it in such a place?

What a shame.

Well, there's something you don't know.

While I'm here,

first,

I can read and write;

second,

there's a door here

leading right to the garden to enjoy the view.

Let me show you.

Look.

Over there

That is the Sightseeing Pavilion.

[Sightseeing Pavilion]

Did you see that corner?

How interesting.

And there're birds.

And here

is the front gate of our Qi Residence.

Come, let's take a look.

What's wrong?

This is not scenery.

This is spoiling the mood.

Nonsense.

This is a featured scenery of this pavilion.

I build this pavilion here.

You're such a weird man.

You like watching

the abandoned tombs.

I do.

Every time I watch these,

I'll become more enlightened.

Faced with this scenery,

I dare not slack even for one minute.

That's why

I write on that plaque

Enlightened and Thus Happy.

I think it's "This Happy?

Oh yeah.

Enlightened and This Happy.

That's right.

Come have a little rest here.

Do you really like eating these plums？

It is freedom rather than gold

that suits my taste the most.

What the...

Why do you keep these?

That's a secret.

[Yuan Residence]

Hongling, Honglian.

How may I help you, madam?

I'm here to see the garden today.

You don't need to follow me everywhere.

Just give me some space, would you?

Yes, Madam.

I

did your master treated his two former wives

like this too?

Madam, please don't go any further.

Hongling,

you're a maid in the General's Residence.

How dare you defy me?

You're actually stopping your mistress

Madam,

where are you going?

What's this house used for?

I'd like to get in.

Well...

Madam,

it's getting late.

We should head back for supper.

Why are you afraid of me getting in?

Well...

If you don't tell me,

I'll find out by myself.

Madam,

the supervisor told us

not to bring you here.

I'm just gonna get in and take a look.

If the supervisor asks about it,

I'll take full responsibility.

Well...

Madam.

Madam.

-Madam. -Madam.

[Memorial Tablet for Late Wife Li Xiuling, January, Fifth Year of Yonghui]

[Memorial Tablet for Late Wife Yang Kexin, November, Third Year of Xianqing]

[He did marry two wives.]

[People say that]

[they both were tortured to death.]

Madam,

you shouldn't be here.

Supervisor Li.

How did I tell you before?

They're not at fault.

I broke in by myself.

Madam,

you should go back to rest.

You...

Please, Madam.

[Qi Residence]

Tianlei,

you just got married.

So,

why aren't you spending time with your wife

but coming to my place?

Master,

now things are really confusing.

This marriage is too suspicious.

How do you mean by that?

I've heard long ago

that Miss Du Bingyan from Yangzhou is my age

and is both well-educated and gentle.

But now this bride...

After getting to know her in a few days,

I don't think she fits that description.

She seems younger than me.

Although she's cute,

or even heroic in character,

she doesn't have too much education.

She actually misread Garden of Harmony

as "Guard of Honey".

And "Enlightened and Thus Happy"

as "Enlightened and This Happy".

Talking Grandmother into forcing me to marry

is already an ill-intentioned move.

Do you think this is his another scheme?

Did he swap the bride somehow?

Xiaoxi, hurry.

Your Ladyship,

you need to be quiet and refined.

You're the gentlewoman Du Bingyan.

Don't give yourself away.

I get it.

Don't you know

how good I'm at pretending?

Your Ladyship.

Save your breath.

Third Young Mistress, there you are.

Old Madam is expecting you inside.

Please.

Come on.

Mother.

We specially saved a seat

by Old Madam's side.

Sit down now.

Grandmother.

We're expecting you.

Today, the kitchen served us crabs.

The women of the family

drink wine and compose poems here

to pay respect to the moon.

Let's have some fun.

Tianlei is too weak

to eat this cold stuff.

Shizhao is too occupied with his shop.

He can't come.

That's why all of these crabs

are ours to enjoy.

By the way,

these crabs were bought from your hometown.

Guess this will remind you of your home.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Bingyan is the most talented girl in Yangzhou.

As for the fun facts about crabs,

we're counting on you to tell us some.

Mother,

Grandmother,

you flatter me.

Speaking of fun facts,

I can't remember a thing or two for now.

But I know a lot of

popular wisecracks.

Please don't laugh at me

if I tell one.

Why would we?

We all know you're a scholarly girl.

We'd love to hear anything

coming out of your mouth.

Eyes popping,

foaming at the mouth,

such an arrogant creature.

Even with thick skin, dark guts,

ironlike shell, strong pincers, and fast legs,

it can't avoid

the fate of being ripped and eaten.

Interesting, huh?

Indeed.

When it comes out of Bingyan's mouth,

it simply sounds like proper literature.

How unique and fun.

That's right.

Grandmother, you flatter me.

[Luckily I often go to]

[pubs and teahouses with my dad.]

[Who'd have thought the spiels]

[of the bartenders come in handy.]

Serve the eight tools for eating crabs.

The hammer.

The spoon.

The tweezers.

The scissors.

The block.

The axe.

The needle.

And the scraper.

[What the hell is this whole set?]

[Do these people have too much time to kill?]

[Why can't they just eat with their mouths?]

Ours is a literary family.

Now the Old Madam has

a talented granddaughter-in-law like Bingyan,

why don't we take this festival chance

to eat crabs, drink wine, and compose poems?

Old Madam, what do you say?

Good.

Let's compose crab-themed poems.

How about I go first?

Sure.

Ripening paddy,

which means the rice crops are ripe.

The fall offers us ripening paddy

and crabs that are fighty and muddy.

Good one!

Good one!

Then, who's next?

Old Madam,

why don't we let Third Young Mistress go next?

She can show us how graceful

a gentlewoman from Yangzhou eats crabs,

while composing a masterpiece.

[Fang Xiaoqiao, huh?]

[You really wanna embarrass me.]

[Sister Bingyan,]

[your role is too hard to play.]

Wisdom in hold, elegance in mold.

Third Young Mistress is surely the best candidate.

Well...

[The little axe and hammers]

[are no different from the weapons]

[at Mighty Martial Arts Center.]

Grandmother,

then I'll have a try?

Go ahead.

Cut off the tail and rip off the legs,

Hit the back and hammer the chest.

Lift up the shell and pierce the heart

Taste the meat with tongue of sword.

Good.

Very manly.

Quite heroic actually.

But it sounds...

A bit ungraceful.

We're dismembering the crab, aren't we?

It can't be all that graceful.

Being a bit unbridled is forgivable.

But why do they sound like

martial art moves?

Old Madam,

our lord often says to Her Ladyship,

girls should also be broad-minded

and magnanimous.

There's no need to be too girlish.

That's why

he had Her Ladyship

read a lot of frontier fortress poems.

So her style is naturally bold and heroic.

That's right, Grandmother.

I love frontier fortress poems.

Who would have thought Third Young Mistress

to have the makings of a heroine?

Of course.

Females are as excellent as their male peers.

Old Madam,

the chrysanthemums are ready outside.

Why don't we go out

to appreciate them and draw pictures?

Good idea.

Let's go.

Let's see our chrysanthemums at the door.

Bingyan,

Old Madam used to be

a famous woman painter.

You're also a famous gentlewoman from Yangzhou.

I trust that you must be good at

all the fancies of men of letters.

So today,

do show us your excellent skills.

Why don't you draw that White Phoenix Pearl?

Okay.

Okay, then let's all get started.

Okay.

It's so hard to be a gentlewoman.

Your Ladyship,

you must hang on.

I can hang on when I'm doing chin-ups.

But the literary stuff...

I'll do my best.

Oh, chrysanthemum.

You're the White Phoenix Pearl,

and I am the Tanned Black Bug.

I should've studied harder

when dad sent me to school.

Old Madam,

the Red Lips you drew looks so vivid.

What a graceful painting.

Third Young Mistress has also finished.

Let's all take a look at Bingyan's work.

Grandmother,

actually I'm not good at drawing.

It's okay.

These are just for fun.

Let mother have the first look.

Bingyan,

how did you draw

with this seal-like style?

Watch this now.

This style is so unique

and so special.

It's a whole new experience.

Great!

Let me have a closer look.

This...

Grandmother,

I'm a little hungry.

We spent too much time on poems and drawing

and forgot to let her eat.

Okay.

What do you like to have?

I'll take you.

I'd like to have sweet-and-sour ribs

and braised pork.

No problem.

Sweet-and-sour ribs and braised pork.

Tell the kitchen to serve these.

Sheng'er, come on.

Careful, Grandmother.

Okay.

[Dear Father and Mother,]

[This is your daughter hoping you well.]

[You would never have imagined]

[I was married wrongly to General Yuan's mansion in Jingzhou.]

[Now I'm like living in prison.]

[Sincerely yours, Bingyan]

[Sincerely yours]

Even if I didn't get on the wrong bridal sedan,

being married to the Qi Residence in Linzhou

to counteract bad luck for a dying man

is not much better than this.

I wonder what's going on with sister Yuhu.

Could she be like me?

Did she go to Linzhou

and end up in a fire pit?

Sister Yuhu,

how are you now?

[Dear Father and Mother, this is your daughter hoping you well. You would never have imagined]

[I was married wrongly to General Yuan's mansion in Jingzhou.]

[Now I'm like living in prison.] [Sincerely yours, Bingyan]

This is so boring.

If I stay in here a bit longer,

my kung fu will get rusty.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

Remember,

you're now Miss Du,

who's well-educated and quiet.

How can you use a sword?

I haven't practiced kung fu for so long.

My hands and feet itch.

You just can't, no matter how they itch.

What if you give yourself away?

Think about the consequences.

How careless.

Okay, I got it.

I won't practice again.

I'm not gonna do it. Let's go.

You're the miss, and I'm the maid.

Fine, I'll act like one.

Will this do?

That's more like it.

Let's sit over there.

[The maid doesn't look like a proper maid.]

[The miss doesn't look like a proper miss.]

[Interesting.]

Your Ladyship,

we've been at Linzhou for so long.

What do you think of this Qi Residence?

Strange.

Then what about Young Master Tianlei?

Also strange.

Then what about that mute miss?

Who is it?

Take a guess.

Is that Xiangyun?

Nope.

Aizhu?

Nope.

Baozhu?

Not even close.

I... I can't guess.

Miss Yansheng.

Thank you.

This Miss Yansheng is a good girl.

But what a shame.

She's mute.

Xiaoxi,

I think everyone in the Qi Residence

is weird.

The person in charge is Grandmother.

The only miss in the house is mute.

Crazy may she looks, she's kinda cute.

The only young master in the house

is seriously sick.

But this sickness of his is also weird.

He'd faint any moment.

You think he's about to die,

but a minute later,

he's all recovered.

And he's always smiling while talking.

I can't tell if he's telling the truth.

Your Ladyship,

you're such a straightforward person.

Third Misstress,

Third Young Master needs you urgently.

Urgently?

What's so urgent?

It is urgent,

and also not.

Just cut to the chase.

Here's the thing.

You've been at Qi Residence for some days.

According to customs, we should send someone to Yangzhou

to let your family know you're safe

and to show some respect

to my parents-in-law.

What do you think?

Sure.

You arrange that.

I've prepared the gifts.

This is the list.

See if you wanna add something.

These will do.

Okay.

Also,

I've written this letter.

But I really don't know

your parents' names.

How do I spell them correctly?

So I'll trouble you

to write them personally.

I don't know.

Just write them, Your Ladyship..

Please.

Please.

Young Master,

back in Yangzhou,

when Her Ladyship is reading or writing,

she never needs anyone to serve her.

She

only likes me to be by her side.

Because

only Xiaoxi knows,

when Her Ladyship writes,

she needs to grind the ink till it's so thick.

That's how the letters look good.

Don't you agree?

Her Ladyship

is known for her beautiful handwriting.

Right, Your Ladyship?

Xiaoxi,

you've said enough.

Just let her write it now.

Cut the crap. What should I write?

Your Ladyship,

this letter is the first one

you two write to Yangzhou, right?

In my opinion,

the envelope

should be written together by you two.

Your Ladyship,

please write Mr. Du Zhixiang.

Du Zhixang?

Young Master,

please write Madam Wang Guihua.

Which "Xiang"?

Wait a sec.

The husband should write the lord's name,

and the wife write the madam's name.

Your Ladyship,

please write "Madam Wang Guihua".

Wang Guihua.

Young Master,

please write "Mr. Du Zhixiang".

Okay, Xiaoxi, I got it.

How can we write a letter like this?

I'll do it myself.

Wrong.

It's wrong.

[To Wang Guihua and Du Ziyang]

Du Ziyang?

Misspelled two out of three characters.

Young Master,

need me for anything?

I'm calling you here today

not for anything major.

I just discover how clever you are

when you were grinding ink just now.

You're no common maid.

I'd like you to serve in the study.

Back in Yangzhou,

I served mostly in the study.

You can read?

I can.

Miss taught you?

Yes.

Then can you write?

I can.

Miss taught you?

Yes.

Okay.

Then I'm gonna test you.

Since you're a maid from Yangzhou,

recite a Yangzhou ballad for me.

Ballads are our local specialty.

A grass falls and breaks a wok.

I see my donkey lay eggs at home.

I see a horse making a nest outside.

What the hell is this?

This is a ballad of Yangzhou.

It's called The Big Liar.

The Big Liar?

You've got a big liar in Yangzhou, huh?

Xiaoxi,

I think you are that big liar.

How...

How can I be the big liar?

Of course, you are.

You said your Miss taught you this

and taught you that.

But your Miss's handwriting is so poor.

Tell me what exactly is going on.

Yes,

Young Master.

That's because

when Her Ladyship went out the other day,

her hand was pinched by the door.

That's why

when she was writing this,

her hand was shaking.

Stop!

You're clever.

While you're grinding ink, you told her

that her father is called Du Zhixiang

and her mother is called Wang Guihua.

But she somehow wouldn't accept the favor.

She wrote two characters wrong out of three.

Is there really a daughter in this world

who doesn't even know her parents' names?

She wrote wrong even after you told her!

When she took a stick as a sword

and tried to practice it in the garden,

you tried to stop her

and taught her to walk like a lady.

You didn't know I was watching, did you?

How dare you

pretend to be Mr. Du's family?

Young Master,

I wasn't pretending.

I am from the Du family.

Miss Du isn't the daughter of the Dus.

I mean

Miss Li isn't.

Tell me the truth.

The truth.

The truth is like this.

[That day,]

[the Du family and the Li family in Yangzhou married off their daughters on the same day.]

[Somehow]

[the two bridal processions merged into one.]

[What's more bizarre is]

[it started to rain heavily]

[right after we passed the city gate.]

[The two bridal processions]

[entered the Fairy Temple in the suburbs to take shelter from the rain.]

Miss,

it's raining cats and dogs outside.

Let's wait it out here, okay?

Miss, let's go.

Bandits are coming.

That's how Miss Li was sent to Linzhou

by getting on the wrong bridal sedan.

She refused to come initially.

But we told her

that she and Miss Bingyan were both poor girls.

Being a straightforward girl,

Miss Li couldn't bear Miss Du suffering.

That's why she agreed

to be the fake Third Young Mistress here

to do Miss Du a solid.

Young Master,

Miss Li is a heroic good girl.

I beg you.

Please don't blame it on her.

Get up.

Yes, Young Master.

About what you said just now,

except for me,

you mustn't tell anyone.

From now on,

speak less and work more.

Do be cautious.

Don't give yourselves away.

Yes.

Yes, Young Master.

Also,

don't mention this conversation to your Miss.

If you dare reveal a tiny bit,

you'll be severely punished.

Keep these in mind, will you?

I will.
