00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:11,090
on the ninth day of the tenth month.

00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:47,050
[Young Ji Yingying]
The craft of Shu brocade began in the Spring and Autumn era
5
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:48,420
and flourished greatly in the Han and Tang dynasties.
6
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:51,010
It takes its name from its birthplace, the land of Shu.
7
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,140
During the Tang dynasty,
8
00:00:52,490 --> 00:00:54,900
Shu brocade was greatly prized by nobles and prosperous merchants alike.
9
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:55,940
It was even used as currency
10
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:57,100
within the military,
11
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,370
and for a time, its value rose to extraordinary heights.
12
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:02,740
[Deity Tablet of Leizhu]
An inch of Shu brocade holds the worth of pure gold.
13
00:01:04,090 --> 00:01:05,020
My father
14
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:07,770
[Mixing dyes]
is renowned as the finest brocade artisan in all of Yizhou.
15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,330
[Grinding and mixing]
It was he who crafted the most exquisite shade of red
16
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:10,710
[Dyeing process]
ever seen in Shu.
17
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:13,380
He devoted himself to mastering the art of dyeing,
18
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:14,940
[Hanging to dry]
experimenting tirelessly to perfect his hues.
19
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:16,660
Every step of the process, he insisted upon overseeing with his own eyes.
20
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:18,170
[Ji Guinan, Ji Yingying's father]
He often said that
21
00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:20,900
to attain the richest and most vivid colors,
22
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,090
[Pattern weaving]
the silk must be washed in the pure waters of Huanhua Creek.
23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560
[Pattern transfer]
24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,400

[Weft insertion]
27
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:42,900
It was the most breathtaking red silk I had ever seen.
28
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:44,850
It was bold, radiant,
29
00:01:45,210 --> 00:01:46,450
and alive with brilliance.
30
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:48,700
Father named it...
31
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:49,300
[Ji]
32
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,060
Shu Red Silk.
33
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:54,330
[Shu Red Silk, Ji Guinan]
34
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:55,770
But the silk...
35
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,210
it was too beautiful.
36
00:01:58,210 --> 00:01:58,730
That's my father!
37
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:00,340
My father became the Brocade Master.
38
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:02,410
My father became the Brocade Master!
39
00:02:02,530 --> 00:02:05,020
[Ji]
And with its beauty came trouble.
40
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:07,060
Ji Guinan,
41
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:09,060
how dare you
42
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:10,570
present such shoddy brocade
43
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,060
as imperial tribute!
44
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:14,830
Mr. Liu,
45
00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:17,060
we both inspected the boxes together that day.
46
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:18,980
I personally examined each one,
47
00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:20,170
[Mr. Liu]
and there was no doubt they were genuine.
48
00:02:21,220 --> 00:02:21,980
Yet,
49
00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:23,370
after being entrusted to the logistics officer,
50
00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:25,620
they mysteriously turned into counterfeit goods overnight at the inn.
51
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:28,170
There is certainly something foul afoot here.
52
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:29,060
How insolent!
53
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:31,730
Are you insinuating that the logistics officer stole the brocade?
54
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:32,980
Guards!
55
00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:33,730
Yes, sir!
56
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:34,650
Take him away!
57
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:35,170
Wait!
58
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:37,370
Your position
59
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:39,900
grants you no authority to imprison anyone!
60
00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:43,220
I demand to see the governor
61
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:44,060
and prove my innocence!
62
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:20,370
Don't be afraid.
63
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:22,650
Don't...

by the logistics officer

Yes, sir!

A rabbit cannot slay a tiger with a single bite,
83
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:23,010
but so long as it remains unseen,
84
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:26,010
[Young Yang Jinglan]
it can keep gnawing.
85
00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:27,940
One day,

00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:30,060

We have discovered a robe of Shu Red Silk.
91
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:12,900
It is most likely a gift from the palace.
92
00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:14,940
That's mine!
93
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:16,940

I have already discussed it with the other creditors.

and all that we had was stripped away.

00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:22,580
A true gentleman does not seek indulgence.
377
00:19:22,970 --> 00:19:25,010
Guo Kui, even if you're a dog,
378
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:27,660
there are rules to follow.
379
00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:29,180
To be a gentleman is to not be
380
00:19:29,420 --> 00:19:31,180
overly driven by desire for indulgence.
381
00:19:33,010 --> 00:19:34,730
I'll beat you up if you're being picky! Eat!
382
00:19:37,660 --> 00:19:40,250
Yingying, why are you in such a bad mood?
383
00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:41,780
Who did you argue with?
384
00:19:42,330 --> 00:19:43,210
No one.
385
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:44,540
I was just in a fight.
386
00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:47,010
With whom?
387
00:19:47,010 --> 00:19:47,850
I don't know.
388
00:19:48,580 --> 00:19:51,060
They dress in fine clothes,
389
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:52,660
but they have no idea who I am.
390
00:19:53,940 --> 00:19:55,970
Yaoting, we've talked about it before. Stick to the old rule.
391
00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:57,540
If no one comes looking for us, act like nothing happened.
392
00:19:57,540 --> 00:19:59,370
If someone does, take Mother for a walk.
393
00:20:00,130 --> 00:20:00,730
Mr. Ji,
394
00:20:01,850 --> 00:20:02,490
Ms. Ji,
395
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:04,580
Mrs. Hua is here.
396
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:06,090
Yaoting, don't worry. I'll see her.
397
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:08,900
I'll hold her off.
398
00:20:09,330 --> 00:20:09,850
Give me.
399
00:20:17,370 --> 00:20:18,250
Mrs. Hua,
400
00:20:18,660 --> 00:20:20,820
[Hesheng Rice Store]
the silk you ordered are all here.
401
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:21,780
Kindly check the numbers.
402
00:20:21,990 --> 00:20:24,010
[Huarong, the owner of Hua's Dyehouse]
403
00:20:24,010 --> 00:20:26,580
The color is dull, lacking vibrancy,
404
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:28,730
and it doesn't have the luster it should.
405
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:32,820
It doesn't feel smooth either.
406
00:20:35,370 --> 00:20:37,370
Mrs. Hua, take a closer look.
407
00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:39,460
This is the finest mulberry silk of Jiannandao,
408
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:40,610
with a consistent texture
409
00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:41,610
and a soft luster.
410
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:43,780
The color is far more vibrant than anything else on the market.
411
00:20:43,780 --> 00:20:44,780
Mr. Ji,
412
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:46,780
I'll be honest with you.
413
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:49,130
Business has been tough lately.
414
00:20:50,330 --> 00:20:51,090
A few of the major brocade merchants in Yizhou
415
00:20:51,090 --> 00:20:53,460
have been undercutting prices.
416
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:54,780
If this continues,
417
00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:57,660
I won't be able to afford your silk anymore.
418
00:20:58,130 --> 00:20:59,370
Trust is the foundation of everything.
419
00:20:59,540 --> 00:21:00,820
Since we've made an agreement,
420
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:02,210
we should honor it.
421
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:03,970
That may be your business practice,
422
00:21:04,610 --> 00:21:05,540
but my practice
423
00:21:05,780 --> 00:21:06,700
is to buy it
424
00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:08,780
at five-tenths.
425
00:21:09,210 --> 00:21:10,580
If you don't want to sell, that's your choice.
426
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:13,940
I'll pay you at the original price for this order,
427
00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:16,370
but don't expect
428
00:21:16,370 --> 00:21:17,420
any more orders
429
00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:19,580
from me after this.
430
00:21:20,330 --> 00:21:22,780
Mrs. Hua, you're aware of my family's situation.
431
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:24,330
We have to pay you annual interest,
432
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:25,540
and on top of that, my mother is ill.
433
00:21:25,580 --> 00:21:27,780
Her medicine requires a lot of money.
434
00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:29,370
What about this?
435
00:21:29,780 --> 00:21:31,370
If you're truly in need of money,
436
00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:33,540
I can lend you 20 guan.
437
00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:35,330
We already owe you money.
438
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:36,490
If we borrow more...
439
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:37,130
How...
440
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:39,330
How could we ever manage to pay off what we owe?
441
00:21:39,370 --> 00:21:40,180
Yaoting,
442
00:21:41,660 --> 00:21:43,330
Mrs. Hua is joking.
443
00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:45,130
She won't lend us money anymore.
444
00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:48,780
Mrs. Hua.
445
00:21:50,730 --> 00:21:51,610
Why wouldn't she?
446
00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:54,010
Yaoting, think about it.
447
00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:56,370
We already owe her 50 guan.
448
00:21:56,370 --> 00:21:57,660
If we borrow another 20 guan,
449
00:21:57,780 --> 00:21:59,060
the three percent interest
450
00:21:59,180 --> 00:22:00,060
alone exceeds
451
00:22:00,060 --> 00:22:01,970
our family's annual profit.
452
00:22:02,180 --> 00:22:03,460
If we can't pay her,
453
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:04,130
our family
454
00:22:04,130 --> 00:22:05,610
will end up as servants to the Hua family.
455
00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:07,610
But Mrs. Hua
456
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:10,210
is generous,
457
00:22:10,210 --> 00:22:11,210
beautiful, and kind.
458
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:13,010
She wouldn't force us to sell ourselves,
459
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:14,820
so of course she wouldn't lend us money,
460
00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:16,180
right, Mrs. Hua?
461
00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:18,580
Alright then.
462
00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:21,060
Since your family doesn't need the money,
463
00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:22,580
I'll adjust this order
464
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:24,370
to four-tenths of the price.
465
00:22:24,370 --> 00:22:25,180
Mrs. Hua.
466
00:22:25,370 --> 00:22:25,970
Alright.
467
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:29,010
We'll adjust the order as requested, Mrs. Hua.
468
00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:30,580
This way, please.
469
00:22:37,420 --> 00:22:39,780

Come in here! Come!
474
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:49,780
Shh!
475
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:51,180
Our dog
476
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,850
can't tolerate shouting.
477
00:22:52,970 --> 00:22:53,780
The louder you get,
478
00:22:53,780 --> 00:22:54,780
the faster it will sink its teeth into you.
479
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:56,420
I'm warning you.
480
00:22:56,580 --> 00:22:58,330
If you deliberately hurt me,
481
00:22:58,420 --> 00:22:59,460
you'll find yourself behind bars!
482
00:23:00,460 --> 00:23:01,210
I'm warning you.
483
00:23:01,210 --> 00:23:02,420
If you deliberately hurt her,
484
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:03,210
you'll find yourself behind bars!
485
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:08,330
It said the food in prison is better than at home.
486
00:23:08,370 --> 00:23:09,420
Oh dear!
487
00:23:09,970 --> 00:23:11,130
It's actually willing to go to jail.
488
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:13,730
What do you want from me
489
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:16,130
for you send the dog away?
490
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:18,130
You know it.
491
00:23:21,090 --> 00:23:21,820
Five-tenths.
492
00:23:22,130 --> 00:23:23,330
Tao Yuanming said
493
00:23:23,330 --> 00:23:24,660
not to yield to a simple five-tenths discount.
494
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:26,090
That's five packets of rice!
495
00:23:26,090 --> 00:23:27,460
Did you even know that?
496
00:23:31,730 --> 00:23:33,850
Six-tenths. Only six-tenths at most!
497
00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:37,900
It said six-tenths isn't even enough to buy its meat.
498
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:39,130
It still wants to go to jail.
499
00:23:42,060 --> 00:23:44,490
Seven-tenths! Seven-tenths at most!
500
00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:53,010

506
00:24:12,090 --> 00:24:14,180
I know Mrs. Hua is doing this
507
00:24:14,180 --> 00:24:14,730
to force us
508
00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:16,180
to become her servants forever.

We dyed our silks well.
513
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:23,780
A three-tenths discount
514
00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:24,660
won't hurt her.
515
00:24:25,090 --> 00:24:26,460
She can be angry,
516
00:24:26,540 --> 00:24:27,730
but she's a businesswoman.

00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:35,490
to reason with reasonable people.

No way.

Mother.
540
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:21,900
She's not mute.
541
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:23,490
You don't need to defend her.
542
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:34,540
Mother, I was wrong.
543
00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:36,490
Why don't you punish me?

545
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:38,580
of your condition.

and aggressively
549
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,850
will only ruin your reputation.

Tell me.

Do you have the grace of a noble lady at all?

Mother...
555
00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:01,490
I'm hungry. My stomach is growling.
556
00:26:01,490 --> 00:26:02,700
I'm so hungry.
557
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:04,330
I know I've made a mistake.
558
00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:05,900
Please forgive me.
559

Alright.

00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:21,090
I've been thinking
563
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:24,300
about how Mrs. Hua has been collecting
564
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,210
our debts for the past eight years.
565
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:28,540
She's still our only creditor
566
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:30,490
to this day.
567
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:31,940
I think she has
568
00:26:32,610 --> 00:26:33,900
other motives.
569
00:26:34,130 --> 00:26:35,900
Have you had enough yet?
570
00:26:36,580 --> 00:26:39,330
Let your brother worry about this.
571
00:26:40,090 --> 00:26:41,490
You're all grown up.
572
00:26:41,490 --> 00:26:43,060
You can't keep acting like you did before.
573
00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:44,210
You also have
574
00:26:44,210 --> 00:26:46,660
an engagement with Mr. Zhao.
575
00:26:47,130 --> 00:26:49,900
Mr. Zhao has been generous to our family over the years.
576
00:26:49,970 --> 00:26:51,490
Don't put him in a difficult position.
577
00:26:51,730 --> 00:26:53,700
Yaoting isn't married yet. I'm not in a hurry.
578
00:26:57,420 --> 00:26:59,580
You cannot refuse what is offered by elders.
579
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:09,210
Ting.
580
00:27:09,210 --> 00:27:10,180
I will not marry
581
00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:11,850
until I have cleared our debts
582
00:27:11,940 --> 00:27:13,060
and restored our family's honor.
583
00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:14,580
How resolute!
584
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:19,580
I'm younger, so don't refuse it.
585
00:27:25,180 --> 00:27:26,730
When Heaven bestows great responsibility upon someone,
586
00:27:26,730 --> 00:27:28,130
it first tempers their mind and body
587
00:27:28,130 --> 00:27:29,090
through hardships
588
00:27:29,090 --> 00:27:30,370
to fortify
589
00:27:30,370 --> 00:27:31,210
their character.
590
00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:32,540
Enough...
591
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:34,850
Ji Yingying, tell me.
592
00:27:35,180 --> 00:27:36,820
Who did you fight with today?
593
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:41,780
Mother, I didn't fight with anyone today.
594
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:44,250
Actually, it's because of Huanhua Dyehouse,
595
00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:45,940
Yingxia Dyehouse
596
00:27:46,010 --> 00:27:48,180
and several other dyehouses.
597
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:50,060
There are just
598
00:27:51,210 --> 00:27:51,820
some...
599
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:53,850
I'm not entirely sure either.
600
00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:55,580
Guo Kui hasn't eaten yet.
601
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:57,250
I have to make its dinner.
602
00:27:57,370 --> 00:27:57,850
Ji Yingying!
603
00:27:57,850 --> 00:27:58,460
Guo Kui!
604
00:27:58,610 --> 00:27:59,010
You...!
605
00:27:59,850 --> 00:28:00,660
Time to eat, Guo Kui!
606
00:28:00,660 --> 00:28:01,580
This child.
607
00:28:02,610 --> 00:28:03,130
Ting,
608
00:28:03,610 --> 00:28:05,210
do you know who she fought with today?
609
00:28:05,730 --> 00:28:06,780
I do not.
610
00:28:06,970 --> 00:28:08,820
Find out about it tomorrow,
611
00:28:09,250 --> 00:28:11,540
and make sure to apologize to them properly.
612
00:28:13,010 --> 00:28:13,780
Mother,
613
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:15,580
Yingying isn't the quiet or gentle type,
614
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:17,250
but she wouldn't cause trouble without reason.
615
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:18,850
This matter feels...
616
00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:21,300
Does it even matter who's right or wrong?
617
00:28:21,540 --> 00:28:23,660
Do you not understand too?
618
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:24,730
I do...
619
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:26,460
I no longer desire
620
00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:27,580
luxurious things.
621
00:28:28,300 --> 00:28:29,900
All I wish for is for both of you
622
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:31,420
to live in peace.
623
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:35,180
Yes, Mother.
624
00:28:36,730 --> 00:28:37,580
Please don't be upset.
625
00:28:39,610 --> 00:28:40,420
Eat your food.
626
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:41,900
I'll go tomorrow.
627
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:56,540
Mr. Yang,
628
00:28:57,090 --> 00:28:58,580
I know
629
00:28:59,210 --> 00:29:00,540
I've failed you.
630
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:03,180
You trusted me
631
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,210
with looking after your mentor,
632
00:29:05,820 --> 00:29:07,330
but he's gone now.
633
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:09,900
Three brocade officers
634
00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:11,250
have died
635
00:29:12,210 --> 00:29:13,940
in Yizhou alone.
636
00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:16,700
He could have chosen any path.
637
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:17,940
Why choose to be a brocade officer?
638
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:18,900
I don't...
639
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,940
What was it that he wanted you to pass on to me?
640
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:25,820
He told me
641
00:29:26,540 --> 00:29:28,900
to pass this on to you
642
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:30,460
when I saw you again.
643
00:29:34,210 --> 00:29:36,210
This is your best friend in Yizhou.
644
00:29:36,490 --> 00:29:37,490
What is so good about him?
645
00:29:37,820 --> 00:29:39,010
He trusts me.
646
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,490
[Zhu Gehong]
647
00:29:40,490 --> 00:29:41,330
What message did Mr. Shen
648
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:43,250
leave for you then?
649
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:44,820
Do I have to report to you?
650
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:47,460
I forgot my place.
651
00:29:48,850 --> 00:29:50,460
What are your plans for tomorrow?
652
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:51,940
Are you going home or...?
653
00:29:53,090 --> 00:29:54,490
I am meeting a friend.
654
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:56,660
You have friends in Yizhou?
655
00:30:07,820 --> 00:30:09,010
The messenger only mentioned that
656
00:30:09,210 --> 00:30:10,370
soldiers surrounded your house.
657
00:30:10,660 --> 00:30:11,970
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.
658
00:30:18,090 --> 00:30:19,060
You again?
659
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:19,940
It's you!
660
00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:21,900
Something urgent came up at home!
661
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:23,850
Please give me a lift.
662
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:36,850
If my family makes it through this crisis,
663
00:30:37,780 --> 00:30:39,580
I'll be your friend.
664
00:30:50,210 --> 00:30:51,420
A future friend!
665
00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:04,420
[Huanhua Dyehouse]
Tell Ji Yingying to come out!
666
00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:07,970
Ji Yingying, show yourself!
667
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:08,460
Ms. Ji!
668
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:09,330
Ji Yingying, I know you're in there!
669
00:31:09,330 --> 00:31:09,780
Ms. Ji,
670
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:10,940
what should we do now?
671
00:31:10,940 --> 00:31:11,370
Open up!
672
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:12,250
Now I see why
673
00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:14,060
Mrs. Ji asked me who you were fighting with.
674
00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:15,330
No one knows.
675
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:16,940
It turns out he wasn't from Sandaoyan.
676
00:31:17,010 --> 00:31:18,300
He's Mr. Sang from Yizhou!
677
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:20,660
What should we do?
678
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:22,730
Mrs. Ji and Mr. Ji aren't home right now!
679
00:31:22,730 --> 00:31:23,850
They are out restocking!
680
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:24,820
Don't worry, Gui.
681
00:31:24,820 --> 00:31:25,820
I'm here!
682
00:31:27,610 --> 00:31:29,940
Wait... Ms. Ji, what are you looking for?
683
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:31,850
I'm looking for a useful tool.
684
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:32,850
Open up!
685
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:36,250
I'm dying!
686
00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:40,850
What's with all the commotion early in the morning?
687
00:31:44,370 --> 00:31:46,970
So it turns out Mr. Sang has honored us with a visit!
688
00:31:48,010 --> 00:31:49,330
Are you scared now?
689
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:50,420
Listen here!
690
00:31:50,420 --> 00:31:52,460
Get on your knees and apologize to me!
691
00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:54,180
I'll spare you this once,
692
00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:54,940
out of generosity.
693
00:31:54,940 --> 00:31:57,330
Thank you for your generosity.
694
00:31:57,330 --> 00:31:58,370
You're truly kind.
695
00:31:58,850 --> 00:31:59,730
But...
696
00:31:59,730 --> 00:32:02,460
From head to toe, or left to right,
697
00:32:02,460 --> 00:32:04,540
I don't see any wounds on you?
698
00:32:04,540 --> 00:32:06,180
Look at my leg! My head!
699
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:06,940
Here!
700
00:32:06,940 --> 00:32:08,780
This arm! Here! They're all broken!
701
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:09,540
Does it hurt?
702
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:13,370
Ms. Ji!
703
00:32:14,210 --> 00:32:15,370
Did I use too much force?
704
00:32:15,540 --> 00:32:16,330
I don't know.
705

I'm bleeding...

00:32:20,780 --> 00:32:21,540
You're bleeding!

00:32:21,660 --> 00:32:22,580
Bleeding?

Mr. Sang,
711
00:32:25,180 --> 00:32:26,970
Ms. Ji was apologizing earnestly to you!

00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:28,970
Aren't you going too far?
713
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:30,580
Don't blame me!
714
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:31,610
She hit her head on her own!

I'm an unmarried young woman.
716
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:38,460
I value my appearance too much to harm myself.
717
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:40,580
Why would I ruin myself?
718
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:41,970
Enough with the accusations!
719
00:32:41,970 --> 00:32:43,660
Listen! Y-You...

00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:46,420
Mr. Sang is fine?

00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:48,300
How can you be even more shameless than me?
722
00:32:48,850 --> 00:32:49,540
Do you want me
723
00:32:49,540 --> 00:32:50,700
to lock you up?
724
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:51,540
You...
725
00:32:51,540 --> 00:32:53,580
I have a very obvious wound on my head.
726
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:55,780
Everyone saw it, right?
727
00:32:55,780 --> 00:32:57,210
Yes! We all saw it!
728
00:32:57,210 --> 00:32:58,300
Can you let the officials
729
00:32:58,300 --> 00:32:59,850
check your wounds, then?
730
00:32:59,850 --> 00:33:00,250
I...

00:33:00,250 --> 00:33:01,970
We can go to the state magistrate
732

if you want!
733
00:33:03,850 --> 00:33:06,490
I've heard that Chief Sang is a man of fairness.
734
00:33:06,730 --> 00:33:07,780
I'm sure he'll deliver justice

It's okay. Let me see.
738
00:33:18,460 --> 00:33:19,250
It's really her.
739
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:23,940

Do you really know her?
742
00:33:28,610 --> 00:33:29,660
Or is this for a case?
743
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:32,730
No matter the reason,
744
00:33:33,460 --> 00:33:36,250
aren't you going to help her out of this predicament?

No need.

Her wound is fake,
748
00:33:41,660 --> 00:33:43,420
but her reaction is certainly convincing.

00:33:47,660 --> 00:33:50,090
you've been instructed to find the Shu Red Silk.
751
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:52,730
This is the taste I've been after!
752
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:54,420
I tried making it myself,
753
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:56,250
but I couldn't get it right. Have a try.
754
00:34:16,050 --> 00:34:18,260
I have made a chance for you.
755
00:34:20,770 --> 00:34:21,610
Mr. Yang?
756
00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:23,460
You've arrived at the perfect moment! Please come.
757
00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:27,020
Be our judge!
758
00:34:27,050 --> 00:34:29,330
Wasn't it her who purposely hit her head just now?
759
00:34:31,090 --> 00:34:32,660
I witnessed everything
760
00:34:32,740 --> 00:34:35,260
that happened just now.
761
00:34:37,420 --> 00:34:38,500
I think...
762
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:41,900
Chief Sang will be back in two days.
763
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:42,700
I wouldn't cause a scene
764
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:43,940
if I were you.
765
00:34:43,940 --> 00:34:44,740
You'd get a beating.
766
00:34:45,130 --> 00:34:46,260
Why would I get a beating?
767
00:34:47,660 --> 00:34:49,420
Look here. Between you two,
768
00:34:49,700 --> 00:34:51,260
who would your father believe?
769
00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:52,850
But I'm wrapped up like this...
770
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:54,460
You can trick everyone else,
771
00:34:54,530 --> 00:34:56,330
but you can't fool your father or me.
772
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:00,740
Fine! Just you wait!
773
00:35:01,220 --> 00:35:02,090
This is not over!
774
00:35:03,610 --> 00:35:04,020
Let's go!
775
00:35:04,460 --> 00:35:05,460
Take care, Mr. Sang!
776
00:35:15,940 --> 00:35:16,530
Everyone...
777
00:35:17,130 --> 00:35:18,460
They have already left.
778
00:35:19,220 --> 00:35:20,700
Haven't you seen enough?
779
00:35:20,850 --> 00:35:22,180
Should I have Mr. Sang
780
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:23,980
go to your home and create trouble?
781
00:35:24,810 --> 00:35:25,460
Come on. Let's go home,
782
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:26,050
Gui!
783
00:35:27,980 --> 00:35:28,500
Sir!
784
00:35:28,810 --> 00:35:29,330
Sir,
785
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:32,530
I accidentally broke a bowl earlier
786
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:33,940
and don't have enough money with me.
787
00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:36,130
Could I trouble you to pay for it on my behalf?
788
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:38,850
If it's inconvenient for you,
789
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:41,330
I'll have to ask Mr. Sang
790
00:35:41,330 --> 00:35:43,090
to come back and pay it for me.
791
00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:53,570
Thank you.
792
00:35:58,940 --> 00:35:59,740
Ms. Ji,
793
00:36:00,290 --> 00:36:01,330
every action has its cause.
794
00:36:01,850 --> 00:36:03,900
If Mr. Hua hadn't mentioned the beauty of the view
795
00:36:04,050 --> 00:36:05,460
at Huanhua Creek,
796
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,810
Shisi wouldn't have insisted to welcome me there,
797
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:09,530
and none of this misunderstanding would have occurred.
798
00:36:09,940 --> 00:36:10,660
The Hua family?
799
00:36:12,810 --> 00:36:14,090
No surprise there.
800
00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:16,020
In that case,
801
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:17,180
I'll have to trouble you
802
00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:18,610
to speak with Mr. Sang
803
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:20,660
so he doesn't hold anything against us folks from Sandaoyan.
804
00:36:21,850 --> 00:36:22,810
What do I get out of it?
805
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:27,610
Good things
806
00:36:27,610 --> 00:36:28,660
come to those who do good!
807
00:36:29,850 --> 00:36:31,090
The speed that it dries...
808
00:36:31,330 --> 00:36:32,130
This color...
809
00:36:32,570 --> 00:36:33,570
Is that dye
810
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:35,130
on your forehead?
811
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:36,850
You've got guts
812
00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:38,530
tricking Mr. Sang like that.
813
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,260
What do you want?
814
00:36:42,610 --> 00:36:43,660
I lent you a hand.
815
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:46,260
The least you can do is invite me for a drink.
816
00:36:47,290 --> 00:36:48,530
Deal. Please, step inside.
817
00:36:50,180 --> 00:36:50,940
Hold on!
818
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:02,740
Sir, here's your water.
819
00:37:05,460 --> 00:37:06,460
You want me to drink here?
820
00:37:07,420 --> 00:37:08,420
It's my family's rules.
821
00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:09,850
It's custom to have a drink once you're inside.
822
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:12,090
Okay.
823
00:37:21,050 --> 00:37:21,850
Alright.
824
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:24,420
We're square. Please leave.
825
00:37:25,460 --> 00:37:26,660
I haven't got in.
826
00:37:27,330 --> 00:37:28,420
You wanted to come in.
827
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:29,460
I let you.
828
00:37:29,460 --> 00:37:30,290
You wanted a drink.
829
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:31,500
I poured you one.
830
00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:33,050
Thanks for your assistance.
831
00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:33,900
Pardon me for not seeing you out.
832
00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:36,020
Wait! I helped you!
833
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:36,850
Thank you.

Hey!

00:37:46,050 --> 00:37:47,570
You left me outside!
839
00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:49,460
Ms. Ji!
840
00:38:00,090 --> 00:38:01,090
Slow down, Mother.

Stand right there!

Mother!
843
00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:10,220
I didn't get into a fight. I really didn't!
844
00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:12,570
- You... - Yingying,
845
00:38:13,130 --> 00:38:14,020
you're injured!
846
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:16,180
Oh, no. No!
847
00:38:16,330 --> 00:38:17,370
It's fake!
848
00:38:17,850 --> 00:38:19,020
I'm not hurt at all.
849
00:38:21,020 --> 00:38:21,740
It's fake?
850
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:28,810
See?
851
00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:32,740
So?
852
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:34,660
I can't scold you because it's fake?
853
00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:37,700
But that's the only way I could fool them.
854
00:38:37,850 --> 00:38:39,530
They all believe this is real.
855
00:38:40,090 --> 00:38:40,810
Mother,
856
00:38:40,810 --> 00:38:42,090
Sang Shisi came here
857
00:38:42,130 --> 00:38:43,460
because Mrs. Hua provoked him.
858
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:44,850
Even if Sang Shisi is willing to let it go,
859
00:38:44,850 --> 00:38:46,220
Mrs. Hua won't let this slide.
860
00:38:46,530 --> 00:38:47,020
Yaoting,
861
00:38:47,050 --> 00:38:48,420
we must come up with a plan to deal with her.
862
00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:50,090
Ji Yingying!
863
00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:52,180
Can't you just let this be?
864
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:54,020
Must you always fight everything
865
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:55,180
because of your nature?
866
00:38:55,810 --> 00:38:56,570
Mrs. Hua
867
00:38:56,570 --> 00:38:58,500
dominates the market with no shame,
868
00:38:58,700 --> 00:38:59,260
yet she targets us specifically.
869
00:38:59,260 --> 00:39:01,130
Why?
870
00:39:01,530 --> 00:39:03,370
You think I'm the cause of all this?
871
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,330
Because I wouldn't submit,
872
00:39:05,370 --> 00:39:07,020
that's why they are out to get us?
873
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:09,290
You think that I'm wrong?
874
00:39:09,610 --> 00:39:10,940
How many times have I told you?
875
00:39:11,370 --> 00:39:12,850
I only want our family
876
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:14,740
to have a peaceful and stable life.
877
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:17,290
Even if we face bullying and losses,
878
00:39:17,330 --> 00:39:19,290
as long as there's no further trouble, it's already a blessing enough.
879
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:21,420
Am I wrong to wish for this?

everyone knows
890
00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:07,940
that only the Shu brocade washed in this creek
891
00:41:07,940 --> 00:41:09,460
achieves its vibrant color.
892
00:41:09,570 --> 00:41:11,530
