[Episode 26]

Left push.

Right push.

Why didn't it work?

It worked.

It worked.

It... It worked.

-It worked. -It worked.

-It worked. -Come on.

I'm gonna do it again.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Come on.

Hold it properly. Let me take a look.

I know. I know.

I know.

Instructor Shen.

Left push.

I heard from my seniors and juniors today...

well...

many squires donated money to Yiyang Academy.

They even set up a charity organization for this.

I heard the purpose of the money of this charity organization

is

to help those students from poor families.

Right?

Why...

Instructor Shen.

Yes.

When Yan Qinruo was admitted to Women's Academy,

her father, Duke Yue,

donated a large sum of money.

At that time,

we were building the dorms.

Stay away from me.

I thought building dorms

was a good thing.

But Dean

advocates frugality.

He refused to accept the donation.

It was deadlocked.

So Duke Yue

used the money to set up a charity organization.

Move aside. Move aside.

Hold it straight.

The charity organization...

would allocate money to students from poor families.

It's also a way to cultivate some talents for the country.

That's right.

The move...

You need to lift it up.

Well, what happened after that?

What happened?

I-Inhale.

After that,

more and more people donated money to the charity organization.

The charity organization

asked the four academies to allocate the money.

It's not proper for Yiyang Academy to stay out of it, right?

So Dean

asked me to find some students from poor families to give them money.

This angle...

Higher.

Okay.

That's right.

Okay.

Then...

Then who is in charge of this charity organization?

Duke Yue.

He would donate money every month.

And the amount is the largest.

I think it's the most reasonable that he's in charge.

What about Yiyang Academy?

Who is responsible for this in Yiyang Academy?

Mr. Zhang.

He is responsible for checking the ledger.

I am responsible

for checking the donation list,

finding the students, and giving them money.

Then... are you... are you responsible for giving money to all of the students?

I'm only responsible for the students in our academy.

Others are responsible for the students in other academies.

My energy has been leaked again.

Well, there are so many things to do in Yiyang Academy.

Instructor Shen, can you handle all of them?

I can make more contributions by doing those things.

It's just a donation list.

What's so complicated about it?

It's just a piece of paper, right?

I just need to go to the teachers' office to take a look.

Something is not right.

Why did you ask so many questions today?

Donating money is a good thing.

I just have nothing to do.

So I want to know the great achievements of Yiyang Academy.

Instructor Shen,

can you take me with you

to handle the donation thing next time?

If I take you with me,

what can you do?

I want to do good deeds.

I want to do good deeds just like you.

Fine, I'll think about it.

Why do I vaguely remember

this martial arts book can't be given to other people?

Stop!

I said I'll think about it.

Did I say I won't take you with me?

It's a good thing that young people do good deeds, right?

So I'll take you with me, okay?

Then it's a deal.

This martial arts book is a bit interesting.

It really can't be given to other people?

Of course it can't.

Can I see him in person?

Young Master, I really can't do this.

You can do this.

Young Master, don't make it difficult for me.

You can do this. You can do this as long as I say you can.

You can do this.

Instructor Shen.

Here. Let me introduce.

This is the master who gave me the martial arts book.

His name is...

His name is...

People in this world are like duckweed.

We are just dust in the universe.

Our names are unimportant.

You can call me anything.

No.

Master, I must know your name.

Then you...

Then you can call me Little King Kong.

Little King Song?

Little King Kong, not King Song.

Master, your name is indeed amazing.

I heard you really admire my martial arts book.

I like it very much.

I've been studying all kinds of martial arts books since childhood.

You can say I'm obsessed with martial arts.

Master Little King Kong, Not King Song, if you don't mind,

we can have a further discussion.

Further...

Further...

Further...

Looks like Instructor Shen is a master too.

Of course.

Instructor Shen is the top martial artist of Yiyang Academy.

In that case,

let's begin.

Impressive.

Master Little King Kong, Not King Song,

this way, please.

Don't...

Take your time. I'm going back to the dorm first.

Instructor Shen,

be careful with your swords.

Mr. Wang, I'm going back to the dorm first.

Okay.

I'll go to your place later.

Okay.

No.

I think I have forgotten something.

I need to go back to Wenjing Hall again.

Why didn't you take the front door?

Why are you here?

I want to ask you the same question.

Why are you here furtively?

I'm the teaching assistant.

Why would I enter the teachers' office furtively?

It's just that

I forgot to put back the documents

Mr. Chen gave me.

Mr. Chen and the others weren't here.

So I went in through the window because it was convenient.

Wait. Wait.

You didn't even go to class.

Mr. Chen asked me to sort out the documents.

I was sorting out the documents.

What's wrong?

Why are you looking at me like this?

It's like you are looking at a thief.

Let me ask you.

In the teachers' office, there are only papers and books.

If I'm a thief,

is there any gold or silver inside

that I can steal?

That makes sense.

Let's talk about you.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for you.

Tell me.

Why did you tell Qinruo that you don't like her?

Why shouldn't I tell her?

Then why did you tell me you like her?

Why did you tell her I like her?

Because you told me that.

I told you not to tell her.

So it's my fault?

No one is to blame.

Just blame me.

Well, why did you do this to her?

Since it's a misunderstanding, it's better to clarify it early.

I...

You are really...

I was wrong about you.

You said it like you were right about me.

What do you mean?

Come back. I haven't finished cursing you.

This is the list of and information on the poverty students accepting the donation

that I copied from the academy.

Keep it.

The money has almost been given out.

I think there are many suspicious people among them.

I'd better go to Luoyang tomorrow.

Uncle Hu, be careful.

I will visit the students accepting the donation

with Instructor Shen tomorrow.

Let's meet later.

Mr. Wu, wait for me.

Hurry up.

It's good that you came

to do good deeds voluntarily.

But you should work harder and do something concrete more frequently.

In that way, you'll be worthy of being a member of Yiyang Academy.

It's... It's so heavy.

Is it heavy?

It's not that much.

I delivered it on my own back then.

You need to exercise more.

Yes, you're right.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Yiyang Academy is my great benefactor.

Come on.

Get up.

Under a man's knees lies gold.

Sir, there are things you don't know.

Our family has a kid to raise and elders to support.

My father died of an illness a year ago.

We didn't even have money to eat.

If it weren't for the money,

I'm afraid I couldn't have been able to keep studying.

It's been so hard for you.

Here, take the money.

Study hard.

Serve the country in the future.

Thank you.

Put away the money.

We're going to visit the next student.

Let me walk you out.

Okay.

Please.

Thank you.

Miss, look at my cloth.

All of them are top-quality.

There are all kinds of colors.

-Let me take a look. -Help yourself.

Does this one come in other colors?

Finally, it's done.

How much did we give out in total?

100 taels in total.

Good.

Instructor Shen.

Has the academy ever revisited the students

accepting the donation?

The academy doesn't have enough manpower.

Duke Yue will ask someone to revisit them.

We just need to give out the money.

Aren't you worried something might go wrong in the process?

You're judging a gentleman's intentions with the mindset of a villain.

Duke Yue donated the most money.

Don't you believe him?

Focus on something important.

Let's go.

Let's go back.

Not bad.

Put it away.

Okay.

Put it away.

Come on. This way.

This way, please.

Okay.

Cai, this way, please.

This way.

Cai, be careful.

Stop.

Who are you?

Stop him!

Go!

Don't come over.

I'm warning you.

I have someone powerful behind me.

You should think twice before touching me.

Young Master,

look.

Uncle Hu,

you came back to Yiyang in a hurry.

Why did you bring so much money?

I took it.

Where can you take so much money?

After Li Yi, the dean of Wenshang Academy,

gave out the money,

I followed him all the way.

I found that the students accepting the money

returned the money to Zhao Shoucai.

I revisited them one by one according to the list you gave me

and found a batch of students vanished.

I think... they are not students at all.

Thank you, Uncle Hu.

No big deal.

According to my investigation,

there is something wrong with most of the students in these three academies.

This time,

I took the money from Zhao Shoucai.

If someone is anxious and worried about the money,

he must have something to do with this.

It was Zhao Shoucai again who accepted the money.

And he specially

went from Yiyang to Luoyang to do this.

Li Shancai also cares about this matter very much.

He must be involved too.

Looks like these three academies are just transfer stations.

There might be more people involved behind them.

Anyway, the money has been taken by us.

Let's see who will take the bait.

You even failed to do such a trivial thing.

You are so useless.

Did you see who he is?

Well...

That man was wearing a mask.

I... didn't see him clearly.

Loser!

Darling.

Darling, what...

what are you doing?

You don't know if he is from Luoyang...

or went there from Yiyang either.

Darling.

Do you know how big trouble he caused?

Beating him won't help. The money is still gone, right?

Even if you beat my brother to death,

we still can't get the money back, right?

I don't want to see him.

Ask him to get lost.

Get lost!

Do you know if they find out about this,

we'll all be doomed?

Darling,

don't be angry.

It's not that serious.

You are short-sighted.

Darling, calm down.

Calm down.

Looks like I need to think of a way out.

A way out?

Darling,

I heard

Song Zhu, the youngest daughter of Song Xu,

recently was rewarded by the empress dowager.

The Song family is very famous now.

If we can build a relationship with the Song family,

the Song family can protect us, right?

How?

Song Yi has already rejected our marriage proposal.

Considering our current situation,

we can only make another bet.

If we succeed,

we'll have nothing to worry about, right?

Let me think about it.

Miss,

take this umbrella.

Or you might get wet

and catch a cold.

I didn't expect

Mr. Zhou to draw our meeting under the umbrella.

I don't know when I can get the painting.

But...

I think this umbrella... can be considered a token of love.

It's written like this in novels anyway.

Miss, be careful.

My umbrella!

This stupid Xiao Yu

is a jinx to me.

All of us

will reach our hands into this wooden box.

As long as the missing bracelet is found,

no one will be punished.

Catch it.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Father!

Father!

Father!

What's wrong?

Why do you suddenly want

to propose marriage to Song Yi for me?

I'm doing this for you.

Well, Father.

You know Song Yi...

I'm going back.

You...

Well, you...

You are cowardly. Who do you take after?

Stop talking about me.

Just tell me if we can succeed today.

We've been here many times, but we have never succeeded.

I'm worried we might be kicked out today.

We won't.

I'm the county magistrate.

Song Xu needs to show me some respect, right?

And what kind of person is Song Xu?

He would never do such a thing.

Don't worry.

I will successfully propose marriage to Song Yi for you today.

Okay?

You are right.

I am the most promising young master

in Yiyang County.

I really don't know

who else can be worthy of Song Yi.

Besides, my love for her is so sincere.

That's right.

Let's go.

This is my son.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Ling's marriage was bestowed by His Majesty.

Song Zhu has been engaged since she was little.

As for Yuniang's marriage,

Mr. Song and I don't think

we should interfere too much.

We want her to decide her future husband on her own.

So Lord Li,

I have to let you down again.

Song Zhu is engaged?

To whom?

I've never heard of it.

Xiao Yu, the son of Xiao Chuanzhong from the capital.

You mean Teaching Assistant Xiao?

Mr. Wu, what are you doing?

It's done?

Morning, Mr. Xiao.

Morning.

Since you came back from Luoyang,

the frequency of your return to the dorm has decreased.

Otherwise,

we could have seen each other earlier.

Mr. Zhou, did you...

miss me?

I...

I was just kidding.

Recently, I have been busy with some personal matters.

Mr. Xiao, if you are free,

can you chat with me?

Is this...

wine?

You usually don't drink, right?

People change.

Right?

That makes sense.

But it's not proper to drink in broad daylight.

It's hot here.

Mr. Zhou,

let's chat outside.

Mr. Xiao,

you're the first person I knew

when I just arrived in Yiyang.

Yes.

In that case,

I think you are also the first person I knew here.

Later, we came to Yiyang Academy.

And you and I are in the same dorm.

I'm very happy.

You've helped me a lot these days.

I'm very grateful to you.

After all, many things happened because of me.

I should take responsibility for them.

We...

are brothers, right?

Since I was little,

I've never opened my heart to anyone,

except my sister and mother.

How should I put it?

Maybe...

I've been used to being given a cold shoulder.

In Yiyang Academy,

I can have a chat

with you.

I'm quite satisfied.

So at least,

we are friends.

Yes.

Then...

I knew Miss Song Zhu.

The Song family's good reputation spreads far and wide.

A number of men want to marry

a daughter of the Song family.

I haven't made any achievement.

I shouldn't have thought too much.

But...

Mr. Xiao,

you should know Miss Song Zhu has feelings for me.

I know.

Then what do you think of her?

She is a good girl.

That's all?

She deserves a good husband.

I like Zhu too.

I know that too.

Since you know it...

But that person can't be you.

Why not?

Zhu has a straightforward and bold personality.

Maybe she will suffer some losses someday.

I can protect her.

You can't.

What if I can?

Alright.

Don't just sit here.

Let's go.

What you want to do is your choice.

It's none of my business.

And I have no right to interfere.

Yueniang.

Don't go back later.

Go to the dorm and chat with me, okay?

I don't plan to go back.

I want to see Mr. Zhou.

Why do you want to see him?

Since we left Yiyang last time,

I've felt he has a lot on his mind.

I planned

to ask him if he needs any help

after I finish the things in the academy.

But there were so many things.

So I haven't had a chance to ask him yet.

It's okay.

If he needs help,

I can go with you.

Yueniang.

Do you think I should stop thinking about Xiao Yu?

You liked him,

and you've invested your time and feelings.

It's normal that you still think about him.

But...

I know you're comforting me.

You said he doesn't deserve me.

But I always think

if I'm really that good,

why doesn't he like me?

Maybe... you used the wrong way?

Or maybe... he was in a bad mood that day.

But I think

every cloud has a silver lining.

Maybe he will pursue you in a few days.

How is that possible?

He hasn't come to the academy for a few days.

He must be avoiding me.

Don't think like that.

Maybe he really is busy.

I think we may see him later.

How is that possible?

Everything is possible.

Speak of the devil.

Qinruo.

Junior Zhou.

Zhu, Senior Yan.

Are you... going back to the dorm?

Yes. Are you going back to the dorm too?

Let's go together.

Okay.

I happen to have something to tell you.

Me too.

Last time in Duke Yue's Mansion,

you helped Feiniang.

I haven't had a chance to thank you.

I don't know... if it's too late to thank you now.

Let's go.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Seize this chance to make it clear.

It's okay.

A bad penny always turns up.

I think the four of you are bad pennies.

What do you mean?

Don't try to drive a wedge among us.

Lady Yan

is Miss Song Zhu's best friend.

You don't hide anything from each other.

Zhou Ji

is the top student in the academy.

He knows everything.

He's very close to Xiao Yu.

What exactly are you trying to say?

You're anxious.

Do you two know that your close friends

are hiding something from you?

You don't know?

I'm a know-all

in Yiyang.

You don't know?

You don't know?

Song Zhu has been engaged

to Xiao Yu, the son of Xiao Chuanzhong, long ago.

Are you

surprised?

This...

Liar.

Liar.

Yueniang,

is what he said... true?

Yueniang.

Is what he said... true?

I...

Say something.

Is what he said true?

I...

I...

Say something.

Song Zhu.

Song Zhu, you are a liar!

Liar!

Qinruo.

I...

I...

I...

I'll explain to you later.

So...

this is why

that person can't be me.
