[Brocade Odyssey]

[Episode 6]

I'm coming!

[Color formula]

Ying Ying!

Ying Ying, what happened to you?
Are you not feeling well?

Have a seat.

Do you want me to help you inside
to get some rest?

There's no need to rush for the work.

No need.

I finally figured out the setting method
for the new color.

I must get it done as soon as possible.

New color?

I thought you can't stand to look at red dye?
Why did you use red?

I can't avoid using red dye forever.

I'm fine.

Stop pushing yourself, okay?

I might not know the reason, but I believe you must have
your reason to do that.

Stop torturing yourself, okay?

I promised Mr. Chen and the others
that we'll participate in the Splendor Showcase.

We'll make a name for ourselves.

I also promised my brother
I'll pay off the Hua family's debts.

I won't let them win.

There's not enough time.
There's not enough time now!

How about this? Tell me what to do. I'll help you.

Don't worry. Have a seat.

What should I add into it?

One liang of locust tree flowers.

Three liang of safflower.

Crush them together.

The Splendor Showcase is held once a year
to find the best of the best in the silk industry.

Other than regular purchases,
all the brocade merchants

will also come here to select silk
for the Brocade Weaving Competition.

It is a grand festival
that connects all businesses.

It has always been hosted
by the Brocade Bureau.

Before it begins, silk merchants have to pay a fee
to get the license to enter.

First-time silk merchants will
need to have a referee on top of that.

While a lottery system is used
to assign their stall's location,

there are still some people who would privately purchase
and take over others' location.

To ensure the fairness of the system,
the Brocade Bureau has to check multiple times.

You don't have a care about your voice, do you?
It's cracking from all your talking.

To be precise, you're the one
who doesn't care about me.

You don't want to listen to me talk.

What did we agree on before coming here?

Those who use their fists are yours.
Those who use their pens are mine.

It's good you remember that.

I think there's a lot of people in this venue.

If anything happens, it could get out of hand.

We need to post a notice
to remind everyone to do business honestly,

treat others with kindness,
respect the venue, and not cause problems.

No need to be too lengthy.
Five thousand to ten thousand words are enough.

Yes.

Peace at last. Brat...

Mr. Yang!

Mr. Yang's attentive preparation is what allowed
the Splendor Showcase to be so successful.

Thanks for your hard work. Thank you!

You must be exhausted. Can I treat you to a drink?

The first rule of the event. Focus on your business, and don't talk to me.

When was there ever such a rule?

We're writing it down! It'll be put up soon!

Jing Lan has always been
thoughtful and meticulous.

The second rule of the event.
Refer to me as Mr. Yang.

You're looking for me?

What's up?

What are you carrying?

It's the silk we prepared
for the Splendor Showcase previously.

There's no use for them anymore.
We can't even get in.

Ying Ying said even though
we can't get into the Splendor Showcase's venue,

we can still set up a stall outside.

As long as people get to see it,
it's not a waste of our efforts.

Ji Ying Ying said that?

Hey! Did you forget how she fooled us?

Why do you still trust her?

Do you know why I came to you?

It's because I think
you are different from the others.

You might seem like a reckless scoundrel
on the outside,

but you're a kind person on the inside.

You are honorable.

I guess I judged you wrongly.

Talk properly. Don't go.

It's just the Splendor Showcase! I'll go!

But I don't want to set up a stall
by the roadside.

If we're going, we'll go inside.

But we don't have a license.

My face is all the license we need!

When it comes to silk within the whole of Shu,

if I say I'm the second best,
then nobody would dare call them self the best!

This number one booth is the best spot
within the venue.

Anyone who comes to make purchases
will pass through here.

The Liu family got the spot.

But there was news from the Liu family
this morning that they have fallen sick.

They can't leave their home.

The ones who got the best spot didn't come?
Interesting.

You're done?

Yes.

I should have made you write 20,000 words.

You must be tired, Mr. Yang.

I prepared some snacks for you to enjoy.

The Liu family's booth will be left empty anyway.

- Mr. Yang!
- Why not give it to me?

Mr. Yang,

I have a jade Kylin.

I just wonder if I can appreciate it
with you privately?

You want the Liu family's booth?

- You also want the Liu family's booth?
- Yes, yes.

Zhuge, take them to somewhere... quiet.

Take a close look and compare them carefully.

- Will do.
- Go on.

My dear, do you think Master's method will work?

Can it really determine
Yang Jing Lan's true intentions?

If he accepts the gifts,
he'll just be another greedy moron.

We don't have to fear him.

If he doesn't accept it,

that proves he's after something
more important than wealth.

Then we must be even more careful of him.

You're right, my dear.

San Hua Pavilion's aged wine
is just what I wanted!

He accepts bribes in public.
Yang Jing Lan must have lost his mind.

The greedier he is, the better it is for us.

Not bad.

This is an exquisite jade peony.
It should be worth at least a fortune, right?

Mrs. Hua, you're too kind.

I'm glad you like it.

Place this peony in my study.

Yes.

Mr. Yang, you're going to place the peony
in your study.

Then the empty...

Booth?

Zhuge, send some men to prepare light refreshments

and place some mats for the people passing by
to get some rest.

Mr. Yang!

You've accepted our gifts.
Why aren't you keeping up your end?

Aren't these the gifts you prepared
for the winners of the Splendor Showcase?

Gifts?

Why did you bring up the booth?

Are you trying to bribe me in public?

Zhuge, what's the punishment for bribery?

Light whipping if it's not serious.
The death penalty if it is.

Death penalty? Hmm?

My dear, what should we do now?

He has completely played us for fools.

Can that work? Why don't we listen
to Ying Ying and sell outside?

Don't listen to her. Listen to me.
I have the final say!

Sang Shi Si.

Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?

What did I do?

Firstly, I did not take any of your booths.

Secondly, I am not selling silk.

This is my outfit. I want to wear this
and take a spin around here.

Can't I? Can't I?

Sure. Here.

You like to spin?

You can spin inside this circle
until the event ends.

I'll send someone here
to bring you some food and drinks.

Don't say I'm not nice to you.

However, if you dare take a step
out of the circle...

- Beat him!
- Yes!

Mr. Yang, you...

Are you still my best friend?

Best friend?

I... Mr. Yang, are you going to do this to me?

Mr. Yang, are you going to do this to me?

You really plan to lock them there
until the event is over?

If I don't do that,
who knows what trouble they will attract?

Without their mastermind around,
they're setting themselves up to fail.

Their mastermind hasn't showed up.
I heard she locked herself up at home.

Do you think Ji Ying Ying gave up?

She won't.

She won't? How do you know that?

She's not Ji Ying Ying
if she knows the meaning of giving up.

Look! What is that?

So pretty!

Look!

Flowers are falling from the sky,
yet the wind is coming from the southwest.

Ying Ying, I think someone is here.

I am indeed waiting for someone.

If not, it would be a waste
of my silk's elegant appearance.

Catch!

So it was you, Ms. Ji.

Are you here to enjoy the view too, Mr. Yang?

Ji Ying Ying,

what are you doing?

Since I cannot participate
in the Splendor Showcase, there is no longer any use for this silk.

So, out of boredom, I turned it into pom-poms
and tossed them around for fun.

Mr. Yang, this is not illegal, is it?

Who said that the silk is useless
if you cannot enter the Splendor Showcase?

Miss, I would like some silk dyed in this color.

We can place an order right now.

This silk is a new color, correct?

I have never seen it before.

That is correct. This is a new color
produced by my family, the Ji family.

The lovely girls are drunk on wine,
their faces flushed.

Hence, this color is named Flushed Rose.
[From Qu Yuan's "Summons of the Soul"]

Since it is a new color, it has to be registered.

If you sell it without registration, Ms. Ji,
you will be sent to prison.

When have I ever said I would sell it right now?

The formula must be stable
if you wish to register a new color.

The color must be long-lasting.

Your new color has not been tested yet.

Do you suppose it was a random color
produced by chance, never to be made again?

Everyone, do you not deem it too hasty
a decision to place an order right now?

Since they have their doubts,

Ms. Ji, would you like to accept an order
from my family, the Yang family, first?

I would like five dans of Flushed Rose silk.

I will be expecting them
one month after registration.

We can discuss the price later. Here is the deposit.

Mrs. Yang, you paid the deposit
without signing an order.

Are you not worried that I might cheat you?

Our family can afford to lose this bit of wealth.

Ms. Ji, with talent like yours,
surely such things are below you.

This is merely a formality.

Mr. Yang, surely you would not object
to such a small request?

You both willingly agreed to it,
so that is none of my business.

Thank you for your patronage, Mrs. Yang.
I will not disappoint you.

She advertised her silk
even though she was not selling it.

She accepted an order for a new color
without registering it.

Mr. Yang, is this not against the rules?

Yes, it has indeed violated the rules
I have established.

Ms. Ji, you have scattered pom-poms
all over the place,

hence disrupting the cleanliness of the venue.

You should clean the place up.

Rest assured, Mr. Yang.
I will definitely rid the venue of all trash.

Good work, Ms. Ji.

Why are you still here?

You are not done with cleaning yet,
so I have to stay and keep an eye on you.

Keep watching then, Mr. Yang,
lest you accuse me of not cleaning properly.

The falling flowers were a pleasant surprise
to everyone present.

Even if I punished you, I cannot prevent
the masses from desiring the new silk.

Your efforts were not in vain, Ms. Ji.

However...

However what?

Flushed Rose has stunned the whole crowd.

It may be exchanged for gold,
but it cannot win hearts.

Mr. Yang, what do you mean by that?

If you do not understand it, forget it.

Ms. Ji, can you please take a look at this silk
and see if there is anything special about it?

Mr. Yang, is this a request?

It can be leverage in a transaction as well.

Transactions must be fair.

If I help you, what do I get in return?

I will clean the place with you.
How does that sound?

I have asked someone to appraise this silk before.

It is called the imperial yellow silk.
It is probably an imitation.

In terms of color, it is identical
to authentic imperial yellow silk.

However, it feels slightly different to the touch.

They dare not confirm the suspicions,
so I would like you to appraise it.

When dyeing genuine imperial yellow silk,

wood ash lye must be used
to form a color sediment to set the dye.

The color mixing process is complex
and the dye is expensive.

It is mainly used to make imperial satin
as a tribute to the emperor.

As for this, it was only treated with sulfur
to brighten and set the color.

The threads were made with blended silk as well.
The color is also not distributed evenly.

Indeed, its quality is subpar.

If it was made for the emperor,

then why would they use blended silk
with subpar quality?

You should ask the person who dyed the silk.

I am not the right person you should ask.

That is true. I should not have asked you.

Mr. Yang, what did you mean by the words
you said just now?

Which words? I said a lot of words.

Winning hearts.

Oh, hearts.

Human hearts are like these fallen flowers.

They have no fixed shape or form.

They rise with the wind
and gather with the breeze.

When the wind stops, the flowers fall.
They come together and scatter without a trace.

Ms. Ji, if you wish to win hearts,

you must first identify the wind
that has gathered them in the first place.

Mr. Yang, if you are insulting me for caring
about profit instead of connections,

you do not have to go to such lengths.

Is that not the case?

Have you ever lacked money?

I value wealth, but I obtain it via legal means.

Have you ever been forced into a corner?

Even in hopeless situations,
I will not succumb to crime.

That is remarkable of you,
but such virtues are beyond me.

I can only prioritize my gains
and use underhanded tactics.

You have cleaned up enough. You may go home.

Goodbye.

Ying Ying.

Yao Ting, why are you still here?

It is getting colder these days. Put this on.

I was just done with work, so I feel quite hot.
I am even sweating. You put it on.

That is exactly why you must be careful
not to catch a cold.

I will be fine. Hurry.

- Just put it on!
- Ying Ying!

Ying Ying, I made some warm soup for you.
Hurry and drink it.

Mr. Ji, I did not know you were here too.
I would have made some for you as well.

That is alright. I do not feel cold at all.

Well, since you are here now,
I do not have to worry anymore.

I shall head back and cover up for you now.

Do come home soon.

Yao Ting, we can go together.

- No need.
- Have some soup then, Yao Ting?

No need!

How did you know I was here?

The flowers floated all around.

After what happened today,
everyone in Yizhou already knows about you.

[Huanhua Dyehouse]
Time is up.

Are you paying the debt,
or are you selling yourself?

Make up your mind, Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Hua, you should be aware that

shopkeepers are ordering
the new Flushed Rose silk these days.

Do you not want a part of it?

I can give you
some Flushed Rose silk free of charge.

You can rewrite the order so that my family's debt
is paid with Flushed Rose silk.

What do you think?

The worth of this silk may change without warning.

Who knows how long your Flushed Rose
can remain in the spotlight?

I would feel more secure
if you pay me real money.

I can lower the price by a third.

You will be gaining a risk-free profit.

I am asking for money, not silk.

If you cannot pay up within today,
you will have to follow me to the bureau.

If that is the case...

Yao Ting, please gather the shopkeepers
who wish to buy the Flushed Rose silk.

We will accept their orders.

[Contracting party: Huanhua Dyehouse]

Eight hundred wen.

[Bond of Debt]

Eight hundred wen.

[Contracting party: Huanhua Dyehouse]

Seven hundred wen.

Two guan.

Mother, this is the last one. You do it.

Today, the Ji family has paid its debts in full.

Take the money and leave right now.

If you wish to come again next time,
do send us a notice first.

I wish you success and a bright future, Ms. Ji.

Same to you, Mrs. Hua.

My dear, my dear!

Take the money. Do not leave even a single coin!

Yes, sir.

My dear, would we not profit more
if we get the Flushed Rose silk?

Why did you insist on getting money
from the Ji family?

You fool.

I want the Ji family to fall to ruin.

I want Ji Ying Ying to work for me.

I want her to make Shu Red Silk for me.

What use would I have
for the Flushed Rose silk orders?

But the Ji family has cleared their debt.

How do we deal with them now?

New types of silk must be registered
before they can be sold.

The Brocade Bureau will verify the new silk

and then get someone to send the registration
document to Chang'an for approval.

This process takes at least two weeks.

If any trouble crops up in between,

seeing how many orders she has accepted,
she will have a lot to explain to the shopkeepers.

But the Brocade Bureau is impenetrable now.

Yang Jing Lan is obviously
on the Ji family's side.

Can we really do it?

Shall we ask Master for help?

If Master has to do everything herself,

she would not have needed us in the first place.

Pick the greediest person
out of those Master gave us.

Tell them to keep an eye on the people
in charge of verification at the Brocade Bureau.

You are so clever.

Thank you, Mrs. Zhao.

You're too kind, Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Ji, Ms. Ji, a few days ago,

my daughter-in-law acted on her own accord

and visited the Ji family
without proper etiquette.

I hope you can forgive her.

Well, my daughter has just dyed some new silk

and wants to send it here
for your review, Mr. Zhao Senior.

It is indeed a fine color.

When will it be registered and cataloged?

Barring any unexpected delays, in 20 days.

The Zhao family is willing to pay double

for the Ji family
to prioritize supplying silk to us.

To be honest, Mr. Zhao Senior,
you are not the first to make such a request.

In business, fairness is key.

The order of supply must follow
the principle of first come, first served.

If Huanhua Dyehouse wishes to last long,
I cannot break this rule.

Of course...

But the Ji family and Zhao family share a bond.
I cannot ignore that.

This half basket of silk
is a token of my sincerity.

It should suffice for you
to test your brocade pattern.

Ms. Ji, you are most thoughtful.

I hear the Yang family has already
given you an advance deposit.

Indeed. At a time when no one else offered help,

Mrs. Yang recognized the opportunity
and supported us when we needed it most.

It's only right for Ying Ying to repay them.

Of course...

The Yang family has always been known
for their integrity in the brocade trade.

Every brocade merchant seeks talented people.

If the Zhao family had been there,
we never would have stood idly by.

Naturally.

It is getting late,
and Ying Ying must return to dye the silk.

We will take our leave.

Summon Xiuyuan to escort them home.

Yes, sir.

At least we have regained
some dignity for our family.

Ying Ying,

I will say it again.

Mr. Zhao is a good man.
He has done much to support our family.

I once hoped you might marry him.

But after all that has happened,
I have come to realize something.

Breaking off the engagement
may not be a bad thing.

If one day you were to marry into the Zhao family,

I dread to think of how much humiliation
you might endure.

Mother, my response is still the same.

The Zhao family and Mr. Zhao are different.

Silly child.

Marriage is never just between two people.
It is always between two families.

With the Zhao family as they are,

I worry you would only face more grievances
in the future.

Mrs. Ji.

Ying Ying.

Mother...

I am going for a walk in the market.

Why are you staring at me like that?

If you are not saying anything,
I will just head home.

I have designed the pattern
according to your handkerchief.

Really?

I knew you would succeed.

With the pattern done,
even without my Flushed Rose,

your grandfather will surely set you free.

It is not the same.

How is it not the same?

You came here just for me.
That makes it different.

I was still a little slow.

If I had been faster,
I might have seen your falling flowers.

Do you want to see it?

Close your eyes.

And no peeking!

This flower is for you alone.
Are you satisfied?

It is unforgettable.

Flushed Rose is just the beginning.

Once I reconcile with Mr. Chen and the others,
I will focus on growing Silk Society.

In a year or two, half of the Zhao family's silk
will have to come from us.

Your family will be falling over themselves
to curry favor with me.

Are you saying that if I do not become
Brocade Master by that time,

I will not be worthy of you?

- You better work hard.
- All right.

But for now, the most pressing matter
is how to reconcile with Mr. Chen.

I have taken several orders for Flushed Rose,
and I can barely keep up.

Help me out, won't you?

Hurry up! Let's go! Why are you slow?

Honestly, Ms. Ji shows so much sincerity.

She visits you three times every day!

Why not just accept her apology?
Why insist on being so stubborn?

You can do it yourself. I cannot do it.

- Mr. Jiang, tell her I am not home.
- Mr. Jiang, are you home?

He says he is not home. Please go back.

But my mother said that,
no matter who is at fault,

since everyone chose to work together,
she should not have kept this from us.

Yao Ting and I have been running around all day,
and everyone ignored us.

It was not entirely fruitless.

At least now, my parents trust you.

Even my father does not want
to control me anymore.

The deal was made, but the friendship was lost.

It is not worth it.

Yu, does your tavern
have to entertain just anyone?

Can you keep those idle busybodies out
in the future?

Pay me double the price for wine,
and I guarantee you will never see him again.

Not worth it!

Zhuge, I heard the registration process
requires my personal seal.

What if I do not want to stamp it?

Then there is no other way.

You are known for your fairness
and integrity, Mr. Yang.

Surely you would not do such a thing.

Am I not an idle busybody
who meddles unnecessarily?

I misspoke. I will punish myself
by drinking the wine.

That is enough.

It was just a joke. Why take it so seriously?

In business, one must know
when to yield or stand firm.

But does that apply to situations
other than that as well?

To you, Mr. Yang, it was a joke.

But to me, it is my livelihood.

It was I who misspoke.

I apologize.

I am unhappy. No one can control me.

Even in the middle of the night,
he will wake up feeling regret for his rudeness.

Look at the silk from Mr. Jiang's place.
Does it not look like hair?

If any of you go bald in the future, come to me.
I am sure you can use it.

Hurry up!

What is all the arguing about?

What a coincidence! We meet again!

Take a look at my newly dyed silk, Flushed Rose.

The weather is far too hot.

I will be in the woods for a while.
Are you going or not?

Did you hear that? Mr. Sang is overheated.
Escort him to the woods!

Understood!

Petty men!

Ying Ying, wait for me.
I will go talk to them myself.

You are being unreasonable!

Us? Unreasonable?

Ji Ying Ying was even more unreasonable
at Leizu Festival.

Ying Ying sincerely wants to make peace with you.

We have been neighbors for years,
washing silk side by side.

Are you going to ignore her forever?

When she wanted to marry into the Zhao family,
did she consider us her friends then?

Yao Ting already explained.
It was a misunderstanding.

All a scheme by Mrs. Hua.

My mother said, without trust,
one has no foundation.

Even if it was a scheme,
she abandoned us for her brother.

A business can recover.

But if someone goes to prison,
their reputation is ruined forever.

Can you not tell what is more important?

You expect me to reconcile with her? Never!

How about the rest of you? What do you say?

Whatever you say is what we will say.

We stand united. No soft-heartedness here.

No soft-heartedness!

Whoever sides with her today is this!

Give me back my hairpin! Or I will be impolite.

Impolite? Did you hear that, everyone?

She said she will be impolite.
Oh, how frightening.

Today, without those boys protecting you,

I would love to see
exactly how you plan to be impolite.

I promised my mother I would not fight.
Do not push me into breaking that promise.

But we want to push you today.

We will push you. We will touch you.

I dare you to touch me!

I'm touching you...

- I will beat you to death!
- Do not do it!

Don't you dare touch me!

Ying Ying, we are coming!

You could not even get a hairpin back?
You are hopeless.

Here, take it.

About Leizu Festival...

I had no choice about everything that happened.

But regardless, you all were hurt because of me.

You are not at fault. It was me who wronged you.

Will you still join me to do business?

- Mr. Jiang...
- This is it.

You are this. All of you are this.

Can I take it as you agreeing to it?

You are hopeless.

Listen carefully, I have come up
with a new name for Silk Society.

What is it?

Bloom Society.

Bloom Society?

As long as we dare to dream, no worldly chains,

towering mountains,
or raging seas can hold us back.

Those major dyehouses either have benefactor

or collude with each other
to monopolize the silk trade and bully others.

But if we stand united, supporting each other,

and ensure our silk is of the finest quality,
we will carve out our own path.

We will never allow ourselves to be bullied again.

We will never judge by birthright,

never cling to old ways,
and never push out our own.

We will work together,
and make our name known in Yizhou!

Are you willing to join Bloom Society?

Hold on. Could you say a little less?

What I care about most is, am I still
the honorary president in Bloom Society?

- Of course you are!
- Then that is settled.

Bloom Society!

Yes, Bloom Society!

Bloom Society...

Bloom Society!
