[Melody of Golden Age]

[Episode 13]

At Chen Shoujie's mansion,

only a piece of fabric
from Jinxiu Workshop was found.

As to which year's pattern specifically,

I need to confirm it.

Not your concern?

Very good.

Jing Lin.

Yes, Great Chief.

I'll take this mad woman

and incarcerate her in the eighteenth level
prison of the Imperial Guards.

Who said to bring her back
to the Imperial Guards?

Take Yun Que

back to Shen Mansion for care.

Miss Yun Que, please.

[Yan Mansion]

Miss, a maid from Shen Mansion
seeks an audience.

Xiaohe?

Madam, please hurry back to the mansion to see.

As soon as the Great Chief left this morning,

Yun Que changed her attitude.

If you don't take care of it,
there will be trouble.

You, move this porcelain vase over there.

Wipe the lantern in front.

Madam, look at her.

She's been troubling the entire mansion
for quite some time.

She can even mistake the Great Chief.

The Great Chief took pity on her
and kindly took her in.

But look at her,

she really considers herself
the lady of the mansion.

Better yet to complement
the Great Chief's mansion.

You should go out and look around more.

So when you go out to make cushions,

you'll have an idea.

Has the grass in the backyard been cleared?

Have you wiped the bookshelf,

which was assigned by the Great Chief?

Hurry up and go.

I ordered them to arrange the front hall.

It's not considered formal business then?

Miss Yun Que,

how can you say that?

That's too harsh.

You instruct the servants to do things.

Naturally, they should be done well.

But, we take the silver from the Shen Mansion

and work for the Great Chief.

Firstly, for the matters entrusted
by the Great Chief,

we must arrange them first.

Am I right?

Let's talk about the arrangements tomorrow.

Mr. Shen, sort out the account books
of the mansion

and bring them to me.

I'll have a look.

Sorry, Miss.

Only the lady of the mansion

can check the account books
of the Shen Mansion.

Madam,

good morning.

Mr. Shen,

why do you…?

Madam, I forgot to greet you this morning.

I was wrong.

Please punish me, Madam.

Punish you?

According to the rules of the Shen Mansion,

servants of the mansion

must pay respects to Madam morning and evening.

Female family members must

offer salutations and serve tea to Madam.

Since my first day entering the mansion,

I've kept it firmly in mind.

The Shen Mansion does not keep those
who lack manners.

Today, I was rude.

Madam, even if you

cast me out,

it would be completely justified.

Alright, that's enough.

Isn't it just that you want me

to offer a respectful cup of tea to Mrs. Shen?

I'll offer it then.

Madam, please drink your tea.

Madam,

now that you've had your tea

and almost all formalities
have been established,

let's discuss what is reasonable.

It was the Great Chief who put me
in charge of household affairs.

I naturally have to do my utmost.

Could it be that you want to go
against the Great Chief's wishes?

Miss Yun Que, you just mentioned

you wanted to see the account books, right?

Right.

Since you want to see them,

why not take charge
of the next season's accounts?

Well…

Madam,

are you saying to entrust all accounts
to my management?

I was

not very adept at this.

If you are willing to share the concerns,

nothing could be better.

- Madam.
- Mr. Shen,

please bring over the account books

and hand them to Miss Yun Que.

I have official duties these days.

All matters, big and small,
in the inner courtyard

are to be decided by Miss Yun Que.

Miss Yun Que,

thank you for your hard work.

Madam,

please think it over.

He was momentarily dazzled.

He must have been bewitched

by that outsider vixen.

Using trickery and deception,

she sweet-talked him into bringing her home.

Rest assured,

in his heart, the first wife

is only you.

Furthermore, all of us

are on your side.

Mr. Shen,

it truly has nothing to do

with Yun Que.

Madam,

please don't treat me as a fool.

Had it not been for being angered
by that vixen,

why would you need to move back
to your parents' home to live?

Who said I'm moving back to my parents' home?

I have many investigations
to attend to these days.

I'm afraid I will be at the Ministry of Justice
until quite late.

So I will not be returning home for now.

Don't worry about me, I'm leaving.

What should we do now?

Speak up if you have something to say.

Great Chief,

during the days you weren't at the mansion,

Miss Yun Que changed porcelain plates

and the embroidered cloth and so on.

Mr. Zhong argued with her every day.

Today, he even gave me an outright order.

If I don't bring you and Mrs. Shen back,

I'm not allowed to return to the mansion.

Since when did Mr. Zhong

get along so well with Yan Liuniang?

Great Chief,

could you please give me a clear indication?

At first, I thought you were

fond of Miss Yun Que.

But ever since you brought her back
to the mansion,

you have never returned.

So who should I support?

It seems your duties are quite leisurely.

You even start to worry
about my household affairs.

I'm at fault.

Get up.

How are the security arrangements

for the coming days?

Great Chief,

all has been arranged.

The security of the Lintai Secretariat

is now completely taken over
by our Imperial Guards.

The original guards

have been transferred to assist

the inspectors at the Hongwen School.

- Jiang Langxing is there.
- That's just perfect.

Let us finish quickly and head home.

Jiang Langxing.

Candidates shall not talk to each other.

Marshal Xu asked us to pass a message to you,
listen carefully.

The latest instructions from above
stress the utmost importance.

This recruitment exam
must be guarded rigorously

so that not even a fly can get out.

Not even a single page can be brought in,
do you understand?

You, you spoke too fast.

I didn't hear it clearly.

Chuichui,

could you speak a bit slower?

Didn't Marshal Xu instruct us

to take a closer look

to see if there are any oversights in security?

We need to take a closer look?

Why not follow me inside
to check the several doors?

We've also set up checkpoints
in the inner courtyard.

Chuichui.

Why don't you two go in first?

I'll wait here for Mojie

until he comes.

Oh right, Mojie also passed
the preliminary exam.

Alright.

- Go on.
- I'm going inside then.

Jiang the stickler, hurry up.

Being the matchmaker is not an easy job.

Excuse me,

could you help me find someone?

Pan Chi.

The person you're looking for

is indeed on the final examination list.

But up till now,

he has not yet registered for the exam.

Pan,

have you really given up?

Who said I have given up?

Pan,

it's really you, you've come to take the exam.

That day, after I sobered up from the drink,

I thought about what you said to me.

It's rare for the Hongwen School
to recruit everyone.

With all the talent I possess,

I must amaze

those decrepit old masters.

Let them see

what a peerless good article is.

Congratulations.

I wish you success in one fell swoop.

To be listed on the honor roll.

Since you are also called Pan Chi,

sharing the name with the No.1 detective
among the people,

you must be equally excellent.

Today, you look even more radiant.

Of course.

I just spruced up casually.

Sure to be handsome and dashing.

Unparalleled in Xiang'an.

Jokes aside.

Your complexion doesn't look too good.

Have you been drinking again these past days?

These few days,

I've been busy investigating cases
and reading case files.

But I'm completely clueless.

The case you mentioned

wouldn't be that one, would it?

The case of the fluttering moth.

You know it?

Of course, I know.

The whole town knows it.

Told in an almost mystical way.

But in my opinion,

you shouldn't just look at the files.

You need to ask around more.

I've asked the people around.

One of the parties is dead.

Another is insane.

So what?

In our line of work,

we fear not the corpse.

On the dead body,

there could be many good things.

Besides, what the madman says

isn't necessarily all nonsense.

[Lintai Pavilion]

This penmanship

is the writing
from before my father got injured.

When Mr. Shen was young,

his brush strokes were like swords,

vigorous and grand.

Later on,

his strokes

became

simple and mellow.

I have practiced for a long time

to make the handwriting exactly alike.

Indeed, it is forged.

If it was really the framing done

by Mr. Yan who understands
my father's calligraphy,

he would certainly not use
the wrong brush strokes.

The forger

is someone else.

Pan, thank you.

After your reminder,

it seems I've thought of another method.

Me?

I didn't remind you.

Madam, you've made it difficult
for me to find you.

You're not at the Ministry of Justice
discussing matters.

Why have you come here to chat?

Great Chief,

I come here on official business.

You take good care of your Imperial Guards

and attend to your duties.

What I do and where I go every day,

it's not your place to interfere.

Affairs at the Ministry of Justice
are beyond my control.

But what if it's a matter concerning you?

The backyard is a mess.

As Mrs. Shen,

you should go back and take charge.

Return to the mansion.

Do you delude yourself

to be on an equal footing with Mrs. Shen

and share a husband with her?

Let me tell you,

as long as I live,

you can't join the Shen family.

This is not up to you.

I'll say it once more.

Hand me the account books.

Great Chief, Madam.

My Lord, you've brought back Mrs. Shen.

The old saying goes well.

A couple quarrels at the head of the bed
but makes up at the end of it.

Only then can they grow old together.

Mr. Shen,

I'm a bit hungry.

Could you go check out today's dishes
in the kitchen?

Alright, I'll go right away.

Miss Yun Que,

don't argue with the old housekeeper.

You don't need to worry.

From the first day of my marriage,

I had an agreement with the Great Chief

to divorce in the future.

The account books

will be under your management sooner or later.

Divorce?

Such a good man as the Great Chief,

yet you don't cherish him.

The Great Chief is a person
of remarkable appearance.

Graceful as a fine jade tree.

Anyone who fails to see that

is truly blind.

Such a fine young lady.

What a pity her eyes don't work well.

What are you laughing at?

Could it be

that you find the Great Chief very ugly?

No.

Miss Yun Que, you can be careless with food,

but you mustn't speak recklessly.

I think we have nothing more to do here.

It's best to leave quickly.

Don't pull me.

Then you go on your own.

Come back to the mansion and stay.

After all,

we…

I understand.

I am not the one in your heart.

If outsiders were to find out,

it would only lead to more gossip.

Once the case is concluded, I will come back.

I won't cause you any trouble.

[Hongwen School]

The Empress Dowager

has drawn today's final exam question.

We have been ordered to open it.

The question is

appreciating the sky after the geese return

and observing the grand view of Xiang'an.

There are no restrictions on literary forms.

Poetry and essays are especially good.

Take him away.

[End]

Your Majesty,

we've reviewed the papers for three days

and have decided on the final recruitment list

for Hongwen School.

Please review it, Your Majesty.

The examination papers have been arranged
according to their scored ranking.

The first one on top

is the essay by Cheng Bojian,

this time's top scorer.

Pan Chi

is the last one?

Yes.

Wan,

you read out this last one's

to me.

Tall pines planted at the mountain's foot.

Short saplings grow at the peak.

With the saplings' diameter just an inch,

they overshadow the hundred-foot pine branches.

I feel

that the literary grace of this last one

is also remarkable.

Pan Chi did not lose in literary grace.

But

it is somewhat off-topic.

I don't quite understand

these things.

Wan,

interpret them for me.

This candidate uses the towering pine trees

at the foot of Yangui Mountain

to symbolize the talented scholars
from humble backgrounds

and uses the low-lying saplings
on the mountaintop

to symbolize the offspring of noble families.

Because their position at birth
is already high,

the inch-wide saplings

can overshadow the hundred-foot pines.

I think

the scenery at Yangui Mountain

is exquisitely depicted.

Continue reading.

Laughing heartily under the open sky.

Striding high across the divine land.

[Hongwen School]
Though the noble prize themselves,

I regard them as mere dust.

Though the lowly demean themselves,

who says they aren't important.

Flapping my gown, I gaze at the mountains.

Washing my feet in the long river.

I not only want to take the exam

but also tear off your repulsive masks.

I see your mind

is not on the chessboard at all.

Are you trying to ask me?

It's clearly seen

the selection at the Hongwen School
involves unsavory practices.

Why

was the original list still approved?

Indeed, I wanted to ask.

But I have figured it out just now.

Although Pan Chi is a brilliant writer,

his personality is too impulsive.

So he's not suitable for officialdom
from the start.

This examination

was just a trial.

The selection of talented scholars

has been riddled
with longstanding malpractices.

Many officials at court

are involved in it.

It's already as solid as a rock.

It's a stalemate on the board.

Even if I want to make a move
in this chess game,

I have to wait

for the right opportunity to make the move.

Flapping my gown, I gaze at the mountains.

Washing my feet in the long river.

This piece of writing is grand and powerful.

Using scenery to satirize the present.

Implying that some use the pretext
of not sticking to social hierarchy

and fair selection

to actually oppress the humble
and solidify the power of the nobility.

It's so exhilarating.

Alright.

You've been praising this good friend of yours

for quite a while.

Well, he really did write it very well.

Pan is not just

sharing the same name
as the No.1 detective among the people.

He's very likely

to be the detective himself.

Very likely.

Clerk Yan,

Marshal Xu asked me to tell you

that you wanted him to help investigate

into Chen Shoujie's background

and there are leads now.

Chen Shoujie indeed

participated in the investigation
of the Chen Huo'e case

and even got promoted because of it.

However, not long after his promotion,

he went mad.

It turns out that before Mrs. Chen died,

he had already gone mad.

The Huo'e case must be connected

to him.

It's something we haven't discovered.

No, I have to make another trip
to the Chen Mansion.

Shen Du.

Are you alright?

Be careful!

The style of the hidden weapon
is different from that day,

but the moves it executed

are remarkably similar.

You're injured.

It's nothing.

Just a minor injury.

How come you're here alone?

I came to look for someone
but didn't find them.

How can you be alright
with all this blood loss?

Are you concerned about me?

I'm not concerned about you.

You got injured while saving me.

I should take responsibility for you.

This old man really is muddled.

The shop was clearly closed up properly.

Yet he insists I go check
if anything was stolen.

You want to run?

I advise you not to make another mistake
on top of another.

I'm a female official
from the Ministry of Justice.

If you confess voluntarily,

the crime of theft could be punished lightly.

But if you injure me,

that would be a serious crime.

Nosy woman,

go die!

Help!

It's you.

Who's there?

Wait a moment.

Just now,

the patrolling ones

were inspectors.

Why do we have to hide?

I don't want to deal with the officialdom.

You are averse to dealing with the officialdom

and skilled in martial arts.

I know your identity now.

You are

a chivalrous hero
who stands up for justice, right?

Donning a mask at night.

Becoming a righteous enforcer.

Acting valiantly.

Doing good deeds without leaving a name.

Sort of.

Wait a minute.

You can't go.

You killed someone.

Well?

You want to arrest me
and report to the authorities?

But I killed the person who tried to kill you.

Is this how you treat your lifesaver?

Regarding Dacang's laws,

if someone tries to kill people
for no reason at night

and the victim resists
the assailant and kills him,

he can thus be exempt
from criminal responsibility.

But

you can't just leave like this.

What are you doing?

I'm releasing water lanterns for you.

When I was a child,

my mother

often brought me to release water lanterns.

My mother said

water lanterns can drift along with the waves.

They can ward off disasters and sickness

and can also cleanse us

of any ill fortunes from our being.

Although you did it to save me,

I will

release a water lantern for you

to dispel some of the karma of killing.

No need.

I don't believe in these things.

Belief makes it real, belief makes it work.

I didn't believe it as a child either.

So I did it very perfunctorily.

Later on,

my mother's illness got worse and worse

and she left me.

I often think

if at that time

I had taken it seriously

to release each and every water lantern,

whether Heaven

would then fulfill my wish

to let my mother always be with me.

Even if a thousand, ten thousand
water lanterns were released,

those who are meant to go would still go.

In this life, this world,

they had already made up their minds

to only accompany us
for this part of our journey.

It can't be changed.

Nothing can be changed.

Ghost Mask…

Great Chief,

the bandit hanged himself in the deep alley.

We're unable to identify him.

Hanged himself?

Since there's a need to silence someone,

they wouldn't want us to find out the identity.

Go ahead.

Yes.

Great Chief,

do we really not need to call a doctor
to take a look? No need for medicine?

Talkative.

No need.

Who says there's no need?

Apply the medicine.

Is there something else later?

You seem to be in a hurry.

Surely you're not rushing to rest?

Of course not.

I was thinking,

if I finish applying the medicine for you

and it's not too late,

I can go to the Ministry of Justice

to sort out the case details.

The case is so pressing

that there's no rest even at midnight?

Wasn't I just thinking

about solving the case sooner?

Staying up all night is not a big deal.

But I am injured.

Can't you stay tonight to take care of me?

I…

Forget it.

I don't need your care.

Go ahead with your business.

I'll do it.

Who says I am leaving?

You got hurt because you saved me.

If I leave now,

even the heavens would think I'm heartless.

What if a bolt of lightning strikes suddenly?

Wouldn't I be wronged?

♫ Endless long night, the moonlight reflects
on the western window ♫

swaying and trembling ♫

♫ Wish to stay with you ♫

♫ Want to be with you,

Don't get distracted.

Help me dress it properly.

Alright.

♫ Want to keep you by my side ♫

Maybe I didn't bandage it well enough before.

It's fine now.

It's getting late. You should rest early.

My Lord.

My Lord, spare my life.

I have inquired about the matter
regarding the inspectors.

It has been dealt with as a typical case
of thieves fighting each other.

It has not been reported
to the Ministry of Justice yet.

Trash, send someone more efficient
to handle it.

If there's another mistake,

you will be the next one to die.

I know my mistake.
Thank you for not taking my life.

That Lu Chuichui from the Ministry of Justice,

no one is allowed to touch her.

Yes.

You may leave.

These ignorant fools,

a mere fire moth trick

can turn heaven and earth upside down.

It won't take long

before Dacang…

Get up.

Go to the front hall and have something to eat.

When one is injured, they must eat more.

You've seen it.

I am currently seriously injured.

It's inconvenient for me to move.

Going to the front hall is too troublesome.

I just want to lie down.

Alright.

Then you should rest well.

I'll bring you breakfast in a bit.

Well.

Where is Mrs. Shen?

Someone from the Yan Mansion came.

They have invited Mrs. Shen to a banquet.

She instructed that you are severely injured.

There's no need for you to accompany her
to the banquet.

- I…
- We should serve you well during your meal.

You may leave.

Yes.

Great Chief, I…

What's the matter?

I have found out

that Han Shiyuan is no simple character.

[A Land of Natural Beauty and Talented People]

Liuniang,

Mr. Han and I are set
to get married next month.

I use tea in place of wine.

I toast to you and Mr. Han.

I wish you both a harmonious union
for a hundred years.

I was hasty before

and lacked proper courtesy.

Please forgive me for that.

You are good enough.

Alright.

Sit down and talk.

This year in our Yan Mansion,

it's really one joyous occasion after another.

Mojie has been admitted to the Hongwen School.

Liuniang and Caiwei

both have married decent men.

Liuniang,

why have you been frequently
coming back recently?

Is it because you're not on good terms
with the Great Chief?

No, I'm quite well at the Shen Mansion.

A few days ago,

that cook

took a few days off to go home.

The food wasn't quite to my taste.

So I came back home to eat.

That's good then,
as long as there's nothing wrong.

The rumors outside

say that as soon as you return
to your parental home,

the Great Chief would come to fetch you.

This situation

is a bit frightening.

But the last time you came back,

he did not come to fetch you.

I actually felt uneasy.

My Lord, Madam,

the Great Chief has arrived.

Great Chief.

Great Chief, please take a seat.

Aren't you inconvenienced by mobility?

My father-in-law's banquet

cannot be missed.

Yes, Great Chief.

Please come inside.
