[Wrong Carriage Right Groom]

[Episode 9]

[Qi Residence]

Master,

you're a lifesaver.

If you hadn't helped me that day,

I would have...

She would have packed and returned to Yangzhou,

leaving me here all alone.

Master,

I have to bow to you.

You don't need to.

Master,

I have something else to ask you.

You're back from the border.

So, how's Bingyan doing lately?

Bingyan entrusted me

to give the crystal goose to you,

but she kept the sword-shaped jade pendant

betrothed to you by Yuan Buqu.

As for her situation after marrying into Jingzhou,

it's pretty self-explanatory.

Glad to hear that.

Sometimes things work out unexpectedly, and everyone finds their rightful match.

Just like matching fish with fish and shrimp with shrimp.

And? Why did you stop?

And...

Like tortoise with tortoise.

How dare you!

Master.

All right.

Stop it.

I have something serious to tell you.

General won battles in Jincheng Town.

After the victory of the last one,

he can then return in triumph.

But on the frontline,

there's a critical shortage of herbs.

So, I rushed back

to purchase some.

After this, I'm going back to the border.

Conditions there are terrible.

Herbs are in short supply.

The living environment is awful, too.

Bingyan is a young lady from Yangzhou,

but she has lived there, disguised as a man.

She not only saved lives

but also made contributions by offering a great plan.

She's admirable, indeed.

How I wish I could see her!

Master,

take some good rest.

Trust me

with the purchase of herbs.

The purchase of herbs

is hugely important.

You can't be too careful.

It's a great matter of war situation,

and I'll be circumspect.

Master,

you can give me a list of herbs.

I know a reliable herb shop.

It has a nice landlady and all kinds of herbs.

We can buy the herbs there.

All right. I'll write it.

Yansheng,

This is the list of required herbs.

[List of Required Herbs] And this is a letter

about how things should be done.

[To Jingtang]

Go to Ms. Shu's herb shop immediately

and ask Ji Jingtang to prepare everything,

as required in the letter.

Keep it.

By the way,

you have to check carefully

if anyone stalks you.

If someone does,

walk around on the street

until you get rid of him.

And here...

Grapes from the Western Regions that Master brought back.

Yuhu

kept them for you

to have a little taste up.

Yansheng?

What are you doing here?

Come help me.

For me?

[List of Required Herbs]

[Hi, Jingtang.]

[My master is back.]

[As a doctor for frontier soldiers,]

[he has to buy some herbs.]

[This is a very big deal.]

All right. I'm on it.

The grapes are for me, too?

Smells great.

Let's get started.

Jingtang.

Mother.

What are you doing?

Mr. Qi Tianlei had a letter sent by Yansheng,

asking us to prepare some herbs.

That many?

Look.

These herbs will be taken to the border

for soldiers in battle.

[List of Required Herbs]

Jingtang,

who wrote this list?

I don't know.

According to Yansheng,

a doctor did.

Then ask her

about the doctor's name.

Yansheng,

who wrote this list?

I can't understand.

Just tell me

who wrote this list.

[Liu Ruo]

[Liu Ruoqian]

Liu Ruoqian?

Liu Ruoqian, you heartless guy!

Mother.

Mother, what's wrong?

Say something, Mother.

Jingtang,

do you know who Liu Ruoqian is?

He's my husband

and your adoptive father.

He is?

Can it be someone of the same name?

[List of Required Herbs]

It can't be. It's just him.

Yansheng,

take me to him.

[Guihong Restaurant]

Here?

Go.

Come in, please, ladies.

This way.

He's here?

Ms. Shu?

My master is out for some business.

What do you want him for, Ms. Shu?

I...

Ms. Shu, you and my master...

I'm his wife.

Third Young Master, answer me.

Is your master

Liu Ruoqian?

Right.

Is he from Luoyang, Henan?

Right.

Born in the Year of Monkey, he's 41 years old, right?

Right.

Then yes, he's my husband.

We knew each other in our childhood.

My father opened a herb shop

and adopted an orphan as his disciple.

It was your master.

He and I grew up together.

I know. I know this.

Childhood sweethearts.

I'm embarrassed to admit,

but he and I were meant for each other.

I had a crush on him at the age of eight

and married him at the age of 18.

Now, at this age,

I still have to travel all around

just to find him.

Tell me.

Isn't he being ridiculous?

He is.

So, Master didn't even write to you?

Before,

he wrote to me when he was away from home.

But once he was away for two years,

I was impatient with all this waiting.

When I was young, I used to be gentle.

But when I was no longer young,

I became impatient.

I then reproached him fiercely.

Why didn't you come back home?

What's so bad about our home?

So,

he was scared away.

Sometimes,

the closer you got to someone,

the more bitingly you spoke to him.

What exactly did you say

to have scared him away?

Just one word.

What is that?

If you have the guts,

don't set foot in my house!

That was harsh, Ms. Shu.

No wonder Master didn't go home.

I knew that.

But when I said that,

I didn't really mean it.

We were just

quarreling.

And I thought we would make it up soon.

Unexpectedly, I hurt his feelings.

Ms. Shu,

if you knew it was your fault,

why didn't you just apologize to him?

Yeah.

I know it was my fault.

That's why I've been looking for him everywhere.

And after such a long time,

now I just know he's your master.

Ms. Shu, nice to meet you, then.

Stop, stop.

Don't do this.

Oh, Ms. Shu,

Master came back from Jingzhou to buy some herbs

for wounded soldiers on the border.

So, I'll cover all the expenses.

Please go back to your shop

and pack the herbs with Jingtang.

I promise you.

When Master is back,

he'll be reunited with you.

All right.

Yansheng,

go back to Jingyou House and wait for my master.

When he's back, bring him to me.

We should go, then.

Sorry for not walking you out.

Ms. Shu is

really vixenish and straightforward.

Miss Li,

you won't be such an old lady, will you?

I won't.

I will

just turn into a giant tiger

and eat you up.

Oh, what a poor man I am!

I'll be eaten by a tiger.

Watch this!

[Jingyou House]

Yansheng.

Want me for something?

All right. Go.

Um-hmm.

After you.

What's the hurry?

Master.

Miss Yuhu.

What's up, Tianlei?

Master,

thank Heaven you're back.

The landlady came personally,

saying two herbs ran out,

and she wanted to offer substitutes.

We were waiting for you

so that you could make a decision.

What herbs ran out?

They are...

Rehmannia root

and Chinese angelica. [*Sounds like "You should return home."]

Chinese angelica?

That's the most common herb.

How can it be in short supply?

She just said that.

Yeah.

Chinese angelica.

Master.

Let me tell you something.

The landlady is a close friend of mine.

She's straightforward and helpful.

As soon as she knew

you needed herbs for frontier soldiers,

she closed her shop

and packed the herbs with her adopted son.

She wouldn't even charge a penny.

It's really hard

for a businesswoman like her

to be so generous.

I'm going to see her now.

All right.

Yansheng.

Take Master there.

Jingtang.

Yes, Mother.

Why haven't they come yet?

Mother, rest assured.

We prepared so many herbs.

Adoptive Father will come.

Jingtang,

you must keep in mind

what I just told you.

Mother, don't worry.

Today,

I'll get you and Adoptive Father back together.

Good.

Here they come.

Really?

Come on.

I'll count on you.

Got it.

Yansheng.

Cure the sick?

You must be Mr. Liu from the border.

Yes, I'm Liu Ruoqian.

I'm Ji Jingtang,

the shop assistant.

Where's your landlady?

Oh, her.

She was here, waiting for you.

But unfortunately,

she went out for some emergency.

Wait a minute, please.

She'll be right back.

Sure.

Do what you got to do.

Sure.

What was that sound?

Could it be a rat?

Humph, you're the rat.

Oh, Mr. Liu,

I heard you were from Luoyang, Henan.

Yes.

My landlady is from the same city.

She said she was your childhood friend.

What is her name?

Her name is She Yu.

She Yu?

Sorry, but I can't remember.

Can't remember me?

Think hard, then.

Get to your business.

How long have you practiced calligraphy?

For four years.

Your calligraphy is vigorous.

A promising young man, indeed.

Why isn't your landlady back yet?

Is anything holding her up?

Indeed.

Well, to be honest,

there was a conflict yesterday.

What conflict?

Last night, she and her husband quarreled.

At first, it wasn't a serious problem.

But as they quarreled,

they were both enraged.

My landlady is

a very stubborn woman.

So, she said something

very mean.

That was awful.

So, her husband stormed out.

She was worried, then.

But in order not to keep you waiting,

she forced herself to pack the herbs

before hurrying out for her husband.

Oh, we all have our crosses to bear.

She could have ignored her husband.

Why must she get him back?

You're too young to understand.

Even though

a couple don't actually hate each other.

But she said something mean.

If she didn't look for him,

how could he have a face-saving return?

You heartless man.

I'll save your face, and will you return?

By the way,

my landlady left something before leaving.

She said after I gave it to you,

you would know we had Chinese angelica. [*Sounds like "You should return home."]

Return home.

Who is your landlady exactly?

She Yu...

It's actually Shu.

Ruoqian.

I had great difficulty looking for you.

Where have you been?

Where have you been all these days?

Tell me! Where have you been?

I'm Jingtang. Greetings, Adoptive Father.

You may rise.

Adoptive Father,

look at grapes.

You brought them back from the border.

Through quite a lot of people,

they ended up with Mother.

Ruoqian,

I've made up my mind.

From this day on,

wherever you go, I'll go with you.

We will never be apart.

Xiuyun,

don't worry.

The day after tomorrow, I'll deliver the herbs to the border

and then come back soon.

The day after tomorrow?

Can't you stay for even one more day?

On the frontline,

many wounded soldiers are waiting to be treated.

You always worry about everyone.

But why don't you ever worry about me?

I won't stop you from curing the sick.

But you shouldn't leave me all alone

without caring at all.

Come on.

You were sensible for only a few minutes.

Now, you're nagging again,

and you just won't stop it.

I nag

only because I care about you.

I know you care about me.

Faster! Faster!

Move!

Come in and check it for me.

Press on his wound.

Be careful.

How's he?

Du Bin,

are hemostatic herbs available?

Hemostatic herbs?

We ran out of them.

What do we do now?

We must stop this soldier from bleeding.

Or he would just die.

I've got an idea.

My master once

pointed at the guinea grass and said,

"This herb is poisonous in some way,

but it saves life in case of emergency."

Right in this emergency,

it will save his life!

I'll send some soldiers for it.

Don't bother.

I can recognize it. I'll go.

All right.

Stay safe!

Hurry. Press on his wound.

I found it.

You did?

That's great.

At last.

There must be some more nearby.

Let's search separately.

All right.

What happened, Dr. Du?

Dr. Du! Dr. Du!

Hang in there, man.

This will save your life.

You'll live.

Dr. Du got the herb this very night.

Come on.

Doctor,

I heard Du Bin was injured.

What happened?

To save a wounded soldier,

Du Bin went up the mountain and got some herbs.

He fell and hurt himself.

Is it serious?

No, luckily.

Just a flesh wound.

But anyway, he's rather stubborn.

Letting no one touch him,

he went back alone for some dressing.

Come.

Be right there.

Du Bin.

Du Bin.

How do you feel now?

Pingwei.

Does it still hurt?

I feel much better now.

Come on.

You went out there surreptitiously.

Why didn't you tell me?

I could have accompanied you.

I had no time to tell you.

I had to save that soldier.

Fine.

Let me tell you some good news.

The soldier who spied in the enemy's barrack

was saved.

He was?

And, of course,

he couldn't live

without your timely herbs.

You made another contribution.

Our soldiers fought in the battle.

And we saved that man together.

That's not my credit to take.

You contributed, anyway.

I'll get credit for you from Buqu.

What?

There you are, Buqu.

Want credit for him?

Yes.

Our main force is still out there.

Out you go.

Aye.

Du Bin,

I should go.

Come on. Sit.

Where are you hurt? Show me.

I'm fine.

Let me check it.

Does it still hurt?

Why didn't you tell me before you went up the mountain?

It was an emergency last night.

I had to save his life.

Sorry for all that you've suffered.

I really didn't know

you were from a rich family in Yangzhou.

Actually,

it's not bad to leave Yangzhou for somewhere strange.

Before I came here,

I didn't know

this world could be so big

and I could do so many things.

Now, I'm no longer as homesick

as I was when I first arrived.

A girl like you is staying away from home.

You must be homesick,

and that's human nature.

Bingyan,

I want to have you sent back to my residence.

No.

I would be bored there.

Then I'll have you sent back to Yangzhou.

Still no.

The scent of victory is in the air.

I want to return with you in triumph.

But it's inconvenient for a lady like you

to stay here, disguised as a man.

You made sense.

When I live in the barrack,

there are a lot of inconveniences, indeed.

How about this?

Tomorrow, I'll repeal the military notice.

You can't.

You're on an important imperial mission.

Don't worry too much about me.

When I'm resting for recovery,

I'll try to figure out a way.

Fine.

But from this day on,

you can't be out of my sight.

Soldiers,

since we were stationed on the border,

we've fought the enemy

and won every single battle.

Because you're fierce warriors,

and we have very strict discipline.

According to the sixth term,

no woman can come in without permission.

But lately,

a woman ventured

to have sneaked in!

-Woman? -Woman?

I've never seen one.

Where's the woman? I didn't see her.

I didn't see any woman sneak in.

What's a woman doing here?

Buqu,

there isn't a woman here.

It's nobody else

but my wife

who came from Yangzhou to Jingzhou.

Bring her to us!

Du... Du Bin?

Buqu,

did you get the wrong person?

Don't be scared.

Du Bin.

According to military regulations,

a woman who enters the barracks without permission

shall be executed!

Wait.

I don't think

this is appropriate.

Why is it not?

Now that she's your wife,

she isn't a woman who just sneaked in.

Besides,

after she came here,

she offered a great plan

and saved wounded soldiers.

Buqu,

you had an arrow wound,

and she took good care of you

day and night before you recovered.

Giving her no chance to explain,

you want to execute her.

It's unfair, anyway!

That's right.

-It's unfair! -It's unfair!

There are rules for a country.

So are there for an army.

And the rules are set

for a reason.

She's my wife who I didn't meet before.

But she broke the discipline I made.

I'm a man

who keeps strictly the rules!

General,

please let go of Dr. Du.

Yeah, General.

Let go of her, please.

My wife violated military regulations,

and I cannot escape blame.

I allowed her to stay,

and I deserve to be punished.

Guards!

Beat Yuan Buqu up

100 times with military canes!

Buqu...

No, General.

You're my wife,

and we're a couple.

I can't let you suffer this alone.

Do it.

But General...

Do it!

Sorry, General.

Wait.

General,

as your military counselor,

I keep the rules most strictly.

Listen to me, please.

Prime Minister Cao of the Three Kingdoms

ordered that horses should be killed for treading on young crops.

Yet his own horse

trod on some young crops.

To abide by his order,

he planned to kill himself.

And he didn't allow himself

to escape punishment.

Later,

all military counselors pleaded

that he could cut his hair instead of his head

as an apology.

Right, I know that story.

What you did ignorantly is not a sin.

General, you were flogged

for implicated responsibility.

So,

this is over.

-General is innocent! -General is innocent!

Buqu.

Fine.

Today, I'll emulate Prime Minister Cao

of the Three Kingdoms.

-General! -General!
