[Flourished Peony]

[Episode 12]

Fu,

we are already friends.

We can dispense with the ceremony
of becoming sworn sisters.

How can that be acceptable?

Today, we captured the villain together.

Administering justice on heaven's behalf
is a bond stronger than life itself.

How can we treat it lightly?

But the rites of sisterhood are complex.

The required implements are numerous.

We are unprepared at home.

Indeed.

What does a righteous person
have to fear from this difficulty?

The torches are ready and the three sacrificial
animals are waiting to be slaughtered.

I will make sure to prepare
all the necessary implements one by one.

We don't have the God
of Heaven and Earth at home.

Maybe we should just forget it.

The God of Heaven and Earth?

There is one twenty li away.
I will go and invite it.

No need.

Let's take the oath now.

Who is this? Will it work?

This is the God of Wealth.

Sincerity brings divine response.

All the gods and immortals
under heaven are one family.

The God of Wealth will surely
pass our message on.

He surely won't quibble with us.

Let's just take the oath.

Alright.

The stars are brilliant tonight.

Let's turn off the lights
and watch the stars later.

Yes.

Why is there a light over there?

I've heard that Lady He has hired a new hand.

It's the female vigilante who helped them

punish the wicked on the street today.

They're now taking the oath
of sisterhood by torchlight.

She has recruited another enforcer.

Is she doing business or becoming a bandit?

With the supreme heaven above
and earth below as witness,

today, the three of us wish
to form an alliance here,

wishing our united hearts' words
be fragrant as orchids

and our pact as solid as stone.

Joining…

Joining hearts and efforts.

Joining hearts and efforts. Entrusting…

Entrusting each other in life and death.

Entrusting each other in life and death. A…

A complete mess.

[Sisterhood scroll]
Why is forming a sisterhood so troublesome?

She has a child's temperament after all.

Fu, stop looking.

Do you think it's okay to say it this way?

Not seeking to be born
on the same year, same month, and same day,

but seeking to be rich on the same year,
same month, and same day.

Fine, this is pleasing to the ear.

Let's say it this way.

Come on.

Not seeking to be born
on the same year, same month, and same day,

but seeking to be rich on the same year,
same month, and same day.

Ms. Sun said

the incense powder uses cornmeal as the base.

Fragrant materials are spread on top of it.

But the cornmeal will cover the smell
of the fragrant materials,

resulting in the peony scent
being not very rich.

Huaixiuxiang is more aromatic
than the common peonies.

But still, it can't surpass the likes
of magnolias and other flowers.

So if you make incense
using traditional craftsmanship,

I'm afraid it won't be satisfactory.

Madam, I think it might be better

if we directly add floral materials
into the base powder.

This way the peony fragrance
can be more intense.

What do you think?

Alright, I have never seen any incense shop

add fragrant materials into the base powder,

especially not such expensive peonies.

If this can be made,
it is certain to make a name.

But this way, the usage of floral materials
will be greater.

Wouldn't it be more prudent
to use traditional methods?

Peony incense powder is unique
in the two markets.

Even with less floral materials,
it can sell very well.

Since we have decided
to make peony incense powder,

we must make it the best.

Every step must strive for excellence.

We cannot just take the name.

Only then can we be worthy
of our garden full of peony flowers

and be worthy of each
of our trusting customers.

Since no one has any objections,

let's start working.

- Okay.
- Let's get to work.

Come on.

Mudan, the making of incense powder
is divided into five steps.

The first four steps are all
about making the powder.

Selecting fragrant materials.

Can they be used as fragrance?

Yes, they can.

Great, I'll cut some more.

Making the incense powder.

Steaming flower essence.

The flower essence is ready.

Mudan, come and see.

Take a sniff.

I'll smell it.

That's right, this is the scent.

Sweet and fragrant.

Mix the powder with the floral essence.

After drying, make it into base powder.

Then comes the final step,
blending the fragrance.

Marvelous.

Mudan, thanks to your reminder,

the rich scent of peony root can
be incorporated into the fragrance.

In doing so,

our peony incense powder

will be effective for invigorating blood
and removing spots.

Madam, regarding this final step
of blending the fragrance,

does it have any particular requirements?

Blending scents isn't difficult.
Anyone can do it.

The intensity of the fragrance
and the amount used

all depend on the shop owner's preference.

Everyone has put in effort together.

How can it be decided just by my preference?

Let's blend it together.

Shengyi, you first.

Peony is noble and elegant.

I think the incense powder should
also be subtly elegant.

It makes it more extraordinary.

Yours is too mild.

It dissipates with a gust of wind.

It's fine for ladies to use indoors.

For someone like me who does physical work,

I need a rich and long-lasting scent.

No, that's wasteful.

We don't have many Huaixiuxiangs left.

If we blend it this strong,
we can't make many boxes.

Well, that's not a problem.

Besides Huaixiuxiang,

don't we have
many other floral materials to use?

We can

sell a variety of incense powder together.

Customers will have more choices.

But making the base powder
has already taken a long time.

Now we have to blend fragrances,
package them, and sell them.

I'm afraid we are short-handed.

I actually have an idea.

Without worrying
about the strength of the scent,

it also solves the problem
of insufficient manpower.

[West Market]

Bravo!

The pattern of the fabric
is almost the same as last year.

It's really dull.

Same with the incense powder.

Each shop still has the same old ways.

I've grown tired of using Yao's.

The scent of this incense powder
is uniquely delicate and elegant.

Which incense shop produced it?

This young lady
has a good command of martial arts.

Bravo!

Well done!

Who wants your reward?

Take it away.

I'm not a performer.

Take a look.

We just opened a new flower stall.

Everyone, come take a look
at our flower stand when you have time.

It's just right here.

Right here on this small flag, do you see it?

[Peony Incense Powder Made as You Wish]
It's right here.

It is here.

Uniquely original, fragrances made as you wish.

Choose and mix your own,
a thousand scents for a thousand people.

This one is better.

Here, take your handbasket.

Madam, forty wen.

This way.

Previously, the incense powder in incense shops

- Thank you.
- was always too sweet.

Now, at last, one can blend their own.

I want a kind that is unique and captivating.

I have some pepper stored at home,
can it be added?

- Yes, it can.
- Really?

Okay.

- Thank you, Madam.
- This way.

Uniquely original, a thousand scents
for a thousand people.

Choose and mix your own.

Everyone, come and take a look!

Shengyi,

we have earned back all the money
we invested in the Chunyiwan fertilizers.

That's great.

Once this batch of Chunyiwan sells out
successfully,

we'll be able to recoup
all of our lost capital.

Not only that, we could even
make a profit by then.

Shengyi,

this is for you.

[Silver Note]

The business is something we do together.

Of course, the money earned
should be shared equally.

I've opened an account
in your name at the bank.

All of this month's profits
have been deposited there.

Before long, you'll be able
to bring your younger brother over

and you can be reunited.

Mudan, thank you.

We don't need to say these things between us.

From now on, this will be your pocket money
for leisure.

You will no longer need
to look at other people's attitude.

Shengyi, remember,

from now on, you only need
to act in accordance with your heart.

Be free and easy.

[Silver Note]

Your Highness is unwell. Why not take a leave?

It's just a minor illness,
hardly worth mentioning.

State affairs should take precedence.

Your Highness loves the people
and cares for all things.

I'm ashamed of not measuring up.

Since when has the court become a theater?

Every day, the act of loving the people
as one's own children is performed.

Aren't you tired? I am already weary
of watching it.

Gentlemen,

I bring a message from His Majesty.

Having diligently studied throughout the night,
His Majesty has caught a chill.

He will not attend court these days.

You have just presented a batch
of rare and exotic items

and then His Majesty fell ill.

Such unfortunate timing.

Given that His Majesty is ill,

what politics are there left to discuss?

Gentlemen, quickly follow me
to visit His Majesty.

Master Xu, please wait.

What's up?

His Majesty specifically instructed
that no one should go to see him.

He does not wish to delay
state affairs on account of himself.

Everyone should go on
discussing the matters at hand.

Isn't Prince Ning is here?

Let all decisions be made by him.

Master Xu, you are most sympathetic
towards the sovereign.

You wouldn't fail to appreciate
His Majesty's hard efforts.

Gentlemen, please continue
with the discussions.

I wish to report on the matter
of the Ministry of Revenue's taxes.

Since the new tax law replaced the old,

the court has reduced taxes and corvee
on farmers year after year.

However, upon examining the regional reports,

I found that although land taxes were reduced,

the farmers are still burdened
with many levies of tribute.

Consequently, the people's burdens have not lightened,
and the national treasury has not been filled.

The implementation of the new taxes
was overseen by Prince Ning.

Now there are discrepancies in the taxes.

Can it be so?

Presumably, it's due to the frequent changes
in the new tax laws

and different interpretations
from place to place.

That's why such oversights have occurred.

In that case, I will send someone
to inspect the situation tomorrow.

The issue will certainly be resolved.

This matter has far-reaching implications.

I fear that simply saying Prince Ning will
handle it will not solve the problem.

Don't you trust in this?

Let's discuss the next matter.

Having just finished playing the role
of a leader who loves his people like his children,

now there's an act
of a fox exploiting the tiger's might.

You really treat the court
as if it were your own backyard.

Floral Envoy, you are so biased.

How can we even discuss politics like this?

So what if I am biased towards Prince Ning?

I went to inspect Luoyang before.

The locals live in peace and contentment,
well-dressed and well-fed.

It's clear that the government affairs
are well-managed under Prince Ning's leadership.

How can the great affairs of the court tolerate
the reckless talk of a minor Floral Envoy?

Don't forget, Minister. I am also the Vice Minister
of the Office of Imperial Ceremonies.

Moreover, I am as close as family
to His Majesty.

How can I not speak?

Prince Ning and His Majesty
are even closer as blood relatives.

The political achievements over the years

are there for all to see.

Could it be that His Majesty does not trust
the two of us

and instead trust you, these ministers
of different surnames?

You!

Arguing with these old men
is really meaningless.

It's better to go play with my fish.

Please continue, gentlemen. Farewell.

I takes my leave.

The jumping clown has finally left,
good riddance.

Gentlemen, please continue the discussion.

Your Highness, Minister Cui from the Ministry
of Personnel, responsible for selecting officials,

has been accused by the students.

His judgments have been ghostwritten by others.

As a dutiful official,
I offer my remonstration.

Please, Your Highness, deal with this.

This matter is of great importance
and requires further investigation.

Perhaps it's better to put it aside for now.

Students are an important asset to the country.

How can we treat them with neglect?

Minister Cui's actions of forgery
are enough to prove

that our current system of selecting the worthy

has become a place for private dealings.

The prosperity of the country depends
on talents.

Therefore, the selection of talents
is of utmost importance.

Imperial examination reforms are imperative.

I have already drafted a strategy.

Please, Your Highness, make your decision.

First, standardize the selection system.

Those who serve in the court also need
to be re-evaluated and adjudicated.

Those whose virtue does not match
their position, dismiss.

Second, lower the threshold
for the imperial exam.

Redistribute the numbers
of successful candidates.

The admission ratio of official
and private schools

should be changed from the original nine
to one to six to four.

- Master Xu.
- Well…

The official school is established
by the imperial court.

The enrollees are all relatives
of the numerous officials.

It can be called a selection
of superior talents.

Naturally, they should be granted more spots.

But the character of the commoners is uneven.

If many are chosen for court positions,
there must be hidden dangers.

I myself am from a humble background.

I am the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor
favored by the late emperor.

Remonstrating Minister, are you belittling me

or the late emperor?

Master Xu, stop talking nonsense.

How dare I be disrespectful
to the late emperor?

A slip of the tongue.

Gentlemen, the country itself is composed

of countless ordinary commoners.

Only by letting them step into the officialdom

can they truly work for the benefit
of the common people.

Your Highness, if you truly have
the people's interests at heart,

I hope you will purge the corrupt practices
in the official circles.

From now on, deemphasize pedigree
and value capability.

I agree.

- I agree.
- I agree.

Xu Zuping is truly cunning.

Act first and report later,
leaving us no way to respond.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

I have already ordered someone
to write Minister Cui's petition.

Once the accusing students are settled,

order a halt to the local officials'
recommendation of tribute scholars.

Then we can make things work out from there.

Tens of thousands of commoner students

are just like this water.

Carrying the boat, overturning the boat,

all regard Xu Zuping as their leader.

Xu Zuping is the cup that can gather
the force of many waters.

If this cup breaks,

even steaming tea will spill instantly,

losing its power to gather together.

Xu Zuping is a prestigious veteran
of two dynasties.

Your Highness, perhaps you might reconsider it.

He neither retires nor submits.

He has interfered
with my grand endeavors several times.

It's just that His Majesty
deeply trusted this teacher

and I cannot overly defy him.

But I have tolerated him for too long.

I understand, I will go handle it.

Your Highness, Minister Liu
requests an audience.

Let him in.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Highness.

It seems you have not adapted
to life in Chang'an yet.

You still think of yourself
as the son of a judge.

Even the minor officials in the Ministry
of Revenue are aware of our relationship.

My son-in-law, assuming the position
of Additional Secretary,

you have forgotten it.

I hope you won't blame me.

I am not yet married to Youzhen.

I dare not rashly change my address.

Although I have your protection,

I still dedicate myself to my official duties
in the Ministry of Revenue.

I don't wish to broadcast it widely
and be treated differently.

Gossip is not worth mentioning.

What brings you here today?

Father,

I have reviewed the Ministry of Revenue's
archives of the past few years

and found that the revenue and expenditure
of the ministry are unbalanced over the years.

Much of it is due to flooding.

If we want to resolve this situation,
we must prioritize water control.

I have studied the water systems
of various regions

and have prepared a policy paper.

I now present it for you to review.

Zishu, what is this?

In these past days, writing the policy paper,
I've hardly taken off my clothes.

I must have carelessly gotten some ink stains.

As the husband of the County Princess,

every word and action, every item
of clothing and accessory,

all represent my dignity.

When serving as an official outside, you
cannot lose your status and nobility.

Yes.

Besides, these clothes of yours

were all meticulously prepared by Youzhen.

You should cherish and love them.

Do not forget your duty.

I understand.

This policy paper…

I will read it later.

Recently, the late peach blossoms on the outskirts
of the city are blooming beautifully.

When you're free, go accompany Youzhen
and take a walk.

Yes.

I shall take my leave first.

Mudan,

have a taste.

The cake is sweet and fragrant,
the taste is excellent.

It's good if you like it.

You had me infuse the scent of flowers
into the fragrance.

That's when I thought of using it
to make cakes.

No matter what you wish to do,

I will always be with you.

You've loved the rose steamed cakes.

Eat some

so that you will have strength to help me
sabotage Liu family's deal.

After I finish handling the matter,

I will eat them together with you.

My lady, hurry to the shop.

I'll hold them off here.

Make way, move aside!

- My lady, hurry and go.
- Let me through!

Quickly, my lady, go!

Hurry, quickly stop the Young Madam!

- Quickly!
- Yes.

My lady.

Step aside!

My lady.

Yulu, don't scare me.

Yulu, could you wake up, please?

Tasty.

Mudan,

what's wrong with you?

Nothing.

I was just reminded of someone from the past.

If she were still here,

she would definitely love
the flower cakes you make.

Don't cry anymore.

Shengyi, these cakes are so delicious.

If we were to gift them to customers,

it would surely retain more customers.

How many of these cakes have you made?

Originally, I made fifty.

But as soon as they came out of the oven,
Chuanyu smelled them

and they took them away.

The Floral Envoy

even doesn't spare the snacks of the poor.

We toil from dawn till dusk.

Isn't it just to avoid owing him interest?

But he, on the contrary, takes advantage of us.

Where did they go?

Today, I'll go myself.

If you go,

who knows in whose stomach
these flower cakes will end up?

Then I won't go.

But if someone comes looking for you,

doubting why I didn't accompany you
to see the dancer,

what should I say?

Let them think about it.

If you were to go with me to see the dancer,

all lovey-dovey, would that be proper?

Farewell, my lord.

May I borrow a horse?

Thank you.

Meeting the dancer, with Lady He following.

That's the right way?

- Again.
- Continue.

- Come on.
- This time it must be better than before.

I still want to test you.

I have seven cakes here.

I gave you one, how many are left?

Five.

Tang, if this still isn't clear to you,

I can't give you the cakes.

Sir.

Tang.

Mr. Wu said if I can't count properly,
I can't eat the cakes.

Tang, don't cry.

Don't cry.

Let me ask you,

Mr. Wu gave you three flower cakes

and I gave you two more.

Now, how many flower cakes do you have in hand?

Seven.

First go to Mr. Wu to get the cake.

Just say it was given by me.

- Sir.
- Look at you.

- Sir.
- Come on, what's wrong?

I can't shoot well
with the slingshot you gave me.

- I'll give you the cakes.
- Can you teach me?

Thank you, Mr. Wu.

- Okay.
- Don't cry now.

To shoot accurately, first hold the bow steady.

Aim at the target.

Release.

Thief, where do you think you're going?

You little boy are really interesting.

I'm not a thief, quite the opposite,

I'm here to catch a thief,

the thief who stole my flower cakes.

You stole my things to curry favor

and shamelessly throwing stones at me.

Setting such an example,

aren't you afraid of leading astray
with bad example?

This upper beam of mine
was never straight to begin with.

They might grow up straight
while being crooked.

I wonder why today's pastries

are tastier than usual.

Suizhi just loves to joke.

My lady, don't stoop to his level.

Come in quickly for a cup of tea.

Run slower.

Okay.

Sir.

Mr. Wu, is this place for the care of orphans?

This is the home I share with the children.

Although they have lost their parents,

they are not orphans.

It was my narrow-mindedness.
Mr. Wu, please don't blame me.

It doesn't matter.

I just don't want the children

to feel that they are different from others.

They are being cared for
with great attention here

and they have so many brothers and sisters.

Compared to children from other families,

perhaps they are even happier.

That's true, indeed.

Although they can't compare with children
from wealthy families,

they are looked after by Suizhi.

They don't worry about food, clothing,
or other expenses.

There's the teacher

who comes here to teach them
reading and manners.

Had I not seen it with my own eyes,

I would hardly believe the Floral Envoy

would personally boil water and coax children.

Mr. Wu, the Floral Envoy seems
very familiar with you.

You said you are originally from Luoyang,

Why are you here now

helping him take care of these children?

I left home to work
at the Jiang Mansion years ago,

hoping to earn more money.

I had some knowledge of traditional medicine.

So the servants in the mansion

would come to me whenever they felt unwell.

Later, Suizhi's mother

promoted me to be the steward of her court.

You could say I watched Suizhi grow up.

No wonder he holds you in great respect.

Mr. Wu,

was the Floral Envoy such
a rebellious character in his youth?

Suizhi may seem untamed,

but in fact, his nature is pure and good.

After his mother passed away,
all the court staff were dismissed.

That year, unexpectedly, there was a famine.

Many children were left homeless.

Suizhi then asked me to come back

to help him take care of these children.

What are you doing?

Ms. Wang, who was supposed
to bathe the children today, has fallen ill.

If it weren't for the lack of hands,

do you think I would have allowed you
to come along?

The girls are your responsibility.

Even though you are my creditor,

at least I am a free person.

Not only do you not repay my money
for the cakes, but you also order me around.

Is there no justice in this world?

You're just so stingy.

Deduct the cost of the cakes and labor
from the dividends, okay?

Mr. Jiang doesn't use the right attitude
to ask for a favor.

But seeing how adorable you are,

I will take you to bathe, all right?

Are you his wife?

- No.
- No.

Why do you make flower cakes for him

and help him?

Of course, it's because she owes me.

Don't listen to him. He's talking nonsense.

Let's go.

Slow down.

I'm going to catch you.

Come catch me, Mr. Wu.

Come on, sit down.

I'm here.

I will teach you how to write it down.

You are peeking.

Horizontal lines must be level,
vertical lines must be straight.

Can't escape, just can't escape.

They are indeed the children
you are taking care of.

Can't even take a bath without making a fuss.

Can't catch me!

Come on.

Ms. Wang is getting on in years.

Why don't you take over the job
of helping them bathe from now on?

Alright.

As long as every month,

you deduct the labor costs from the dividends.

Alright.

I'm here.

Jiang Changyang, when you are
with the children,

you really don't seem like a corrupt official.

You've finally noticed

the redeeming feature of me, a wealthy idler.

Clearly possessing a kind heart,

why do you conceal it?

Are you afraid of being discovered
by other people?

If I wished to conceal it,
how could you have found out?

If you want to go back and clear my name,

I certainly won't refuse.

But I'm afraid others
won't believe what you say.

Instead they'll accuse me of feigning virtue.

I'm not as noble as you think.

It's just that the treasury can't hold
all the money and goods.

So I take some out to do good deeds
and accumulate merit.

After all, you know,

too many people have cursed me to death.

Look, I'm here.

Come quick.

Quick, hide!

Hide!

For the last batch of Huaixiuxiang,

I've thought of a way to improve it.

Don't be greedy for too many flowers.

At most, leave three flowers on one plant.

The leaves need to be pruned massively

to avoid stealing nutrients.

Use a bigger flowerpot.

Increase the thickness of the base fertilizer.

Ensure there's enough space
for the roots to grow.

Carve crescent patterns on the flowerpot

to remind buyers that this flower should
be kept indoors and not exposed to direct sunlight.

Every flower purchaser will receive
a jar of flower fertilizer as a gift,

making it more convenient
for buyers to care for the flowers.

Mudan,

the Floral Envoy has indeed spent money
to buy our fresh flower cakes.

Chuanyu said that from now on, the Jiang Mansion
will order 100 each month.

He certainly keeps his word.

Shengyi,

what do you think of the Floral Envoy
as a person?

The Floral Envoy is always smiling.

He's not as detestable
as the outside rumors suggest.

Children are the most innocent.

They can't disguise their affection
for someone.

It shows he is sincere towards the children.

Perhaps the Floral Envoy is not bad by nature.

Maybe he's just greedy for money.

He

is stingy on regular days.

How could he be generous
and perform charitable acts?

Which side of him is the real him after all?

Mudan, why do you care so much
about the Floral Envoy's character?

Could it be that you've taken a liking to him?

What are you thinking?

He is our landlord and creditor.

Understanding his temperament

is all beneficial and not harmful
to our business.

That's true.

Help out.

Slow down.

When you earn enough money,

haven't you thought about marrying
into a good family?

Life after marriage is certainly
not as free as it is now.

Besides, some marriages are very costly.

I'd better keep my distance.

Mudan, Shengyi.

How have you come back?

The peony incense powder is in small quantity.

It sold out in less than two hours.

My mother said she would look after the stall.

She asked me to come back and transport
all the Chunyiwan over.

- Great!
- Great!

- All of these can be moved.
- Okay.

The improved Huaixiuxiang is growing very well.

Up till today, not a single person
has come back for a return.

Now the incense powder business
is also booming.

We really have gone through hardships
to reap the benefits.

Fortunately, we refunded the money in time.

The flower shop's business
has not decreased but increased instead.

After these peony flowers
are completely off the market,

relying on the money earned from selling
incense powder and Chunyiwan,

we can afford to rent a shop
in the West Market.

Really?

But the rent for a shop is not cheap.

Can we really open a shop?

What others don't have, we have.

That's the foundation for our shop.

Besides, we started our business
with potted peonies.

But eventually, it's just a seasonal gimmick.

If we want to last,
we must cultivate new products.

Actually, I've always felt

that our courtyard is still not big enough.

If we could rent a shop with a flower garden,

we could sell goods in the front space

and cultivate various flowers
in the inner yard.

Wouldn't that be killing two birds
with one stone?

As long as we can grow flowers
that others don't have,

those wasted flowers will be
our ready-made incense powder.

The incense powder business can
also last without decline.

That would be wonderful.

My mother spends all day at home worrying.

She's afraid that once the peony incense powder
is sold out, we'll be out of business.

If we always have novel base powders
as our signboard,

we won't fear others copying

our custom fragrance-making method.

That's right.

Yes, think about it.

Even if these peonies never go out of season,

everyone would get tired of them after a year.

Nothing compares to changing fragrances

in four seasons to retain customers.

That's true.

Fu, I'm good at growing flowers
on a normal day.

We'll have to rely more on Ms. Sun
for the incense powder.

Rest assured about that.

Shengyi, I have thought about it.

If we really open a shop,

besides selling some affordably priced
fresh flowers,

I also want to sell some famous brands.

You are the most skillful and meticulous.

You are already very proficient
at cultivating these common flowers.

In the future, I want to spend more time
cultivating new varieties.

I'll rely on you for the other flowers.

Leave this to me, rest assured.

When Chunyiwan is all sold out,

shall we mainly sell Herbaceous Peonies?

Of course, we can.

There are many varieties
of Herbaceous Peonies to sell.

Oh, right. I bought a few Herbaceous Peony
plants from the flower farmer.

Tomorrow we can transplant them
into the courtyard

to cultivate and improve them.

Tomorrow, you can be at ease
with your business.

Leave the flower stall to me and Fu.

Okay.

- Come on.
- It's almost done.

- Almost done.
- Okay.

Steady it from the front again.

♫ In endless Chang'an,
the zither's melody distant ♫

♫ Plum and willow trees bask in the sunshine,
as splendor returns with the year ♫

♫ Copper palace battlements,
songs and dances, glass goblets ♫

♫ Idle clouds and duckweed,
a thousand flowers burst forth ♫

♫ Time passes gracefully,
affairs settle like fading smoke ♫

♫ Let the years go by,
carried by the wind to early desires ♫

♫ If the heart is like water,
the bloom is ever-present ♫

♫ Still cherish the moon of my hometown,
to meet for long ♫

♫ The distant night sky strewn with stars,
reflecting the lovely moon ♫

♫ The peony's magnificent beauty
fills the fragrant garden ♫

♫ With a heart as my lantern,
I don't mind the distant mountain paths ♫

♫ The flute's sound,
a fleeting life's wishes fulfilled ♫

♫ Time passes gracefully,
affairs settle like fading smoke ♫

♫ Let the years go by,
carried by the wind to early desires ♫

♫ If the heart is like water,
the bloom is ever-present ♫

♫ Still cherish the moon of my hometown,
to meet for long ♫
