EPISODE 10

Sister.

This daughter of the Li family is promised to someone else.

I can't stop An'er.

What should we do?

Must have been a stubborn donkey in a past life.

If we can't pray for it, then there's still a way.

What way?

We snatch.

Aunt.

You usually look kind and gentle,

yet you say something like this.

Really an eye-opener for me.

Lianghan.

I am always nice to you, right?

Yes.

Convince your lady to be an inside helper.

It's an emergency rescue, accumulating virtue and merit,

providing relief for others' difficulties, adding blessings and fortune.

Honey.

Fuhui.

Silly.

Master Chai traveled a thousand miles for Kangning,

plucking a red plum blossom from the old mansion

because it's not yet the season for plum blossoms.

Fearing that Kangning would be disappointed,

he sought out the best craftsman to set it with red gemstones.

No matter how many faults his mother has,

considering his sincere efforts, please also be more lenient.

So, according to you,

this marriage with the Chai family can work?

Although Master Du is good,

him marrying Kangning is to repay the kindness.

For a year and a half,

their marriage will work because Kangning is young and beautiful.

After ten or eight years,

through the ups and downs in the officialdom,

his heart hardens and inevitably, disdain arises.

He will blame us for demanding repayment.

He lacks a powerful family in the officialdom to support him.

What should Kangning do then?

He wouldn't dare.

Human nature is fickle.

But the Chai family is different.

They begged for Kangning.

Mother, please consider carefully.

Seeing those lands when entering the city,

the Chai family is wealthy and comfortable.

Kangning would have reliable support in the future.

What are you talking about with such enthusiasm?

Tell me about it too.

Fuhui's telling me…

It's nothing.

Mom, have some oranges.

Kangning is about to get married.

I still have some personal advice to give her.

Shouhua, stay with Mom a bit longer.

Try it on again, in case there's any part that doesn't fit.

There's still time to alter it.

I made it myself. How could it not fit? Put it there. I'll try it on in a moment.

But…

Chunlai.

Chunlai, you can leave now.

Fuhui.

How come you're here at this time? Have you seen Mom?

Kangning, someone from the Chai family came at noon.

Madam Chai kowtowed and bowed to our mother.

She insisted on having you as her daughter-in-law.

And there's something you should know.

Master Chai is going to sea.

Going to sea?

Fuhui, right after persuading Mom, hurriedly rushed to Kangning's room.

You sure ran fast.

Kangning, at least go see him.

Try your best to persuade him. So that your acquaintance wasn't in vain.

If the marriage doesn't work, so be it. Master Chai has helped many times.

He was literally a lifesaver.

If you choose to ignore this,

then you're not human. Move.

If you wish to send the entire Li family to their doom, just go ahead.

Shouhua, who are you trying to scare?

-That Du family… -Mom might not know.

According to the customs of our dynasty,

the top three scholars of the imperial examination

are imperial supervisors or judges of the Court of Judicial Review.

The rest are also appointed to respective official positions.

At first, each official position isn't prominent,

but those who excel in the imperial examinations

often rise rapidly within ten years.

Many even become chancellors within the court.

How dare you underestimate Du Yangxi?

Who knows if in the future,

he isn't a Lv Mengzheng, who served as prime minister for seven years.

Making such a formidable enemy is tantamount to dooming your family.

The Li family saved his life yet he dares to repay kindness with hate.

If he were a magnanimous person, how could he leave a provoking couplet

at the Liu family's door?

If he remembered to repay the favor,

why would he wait until his mother forced him before mentioning it?

Sister, even great tolerance can't endure the humiliation of a broken engagement.

With you leaving, we can't form a good relationship with the in-laws.

We'll make enemies.

Since he has such deep schemes,

we can't marry Kangning to him.

We can't outwit him.

Fuhui, go back.

Shouhua.

I've always known you're cold on the outside, warm on the inside.

Who would have thought you to be so heartless?

Your mouth is full of schemes and fear.

What about conducting oneself as Father taught us?

How can we stand by?

Fine, if you won't go, then I will.

Fuhui, stand there.

Let our whole family discuss it.

The mother-in-law is not easily fooled. This matter surely can't be accomplished.

Then we need to employ a clever strategy

to persuade Madam Li first.

My lady.

My lady, please sit.

This time, she's really taken a hard stance.

She can't even persuade her own daughter.

Fuhui, we're all family.

You need to think of a good way to help out your aunt by marriage.

Mother.

Although my mother is the head of the household,

in our Li family,

the truly formidable one is someone else.

Your bigger sister?

Shouhua usually doesn't speak much but, in fact, has very calculated plans.

And mother usually heeds her advice.

She's set on marrying Kangning to the Du family,

which makes it even harder for others to persuade.

Then, according to you, this matter should certainly not be pursued.

Aunt.

Do you really want Kangning to be the daughter-in-law for the Chai family?

If I dare not to, then I'll be punished by God.

I'm just afraid your mother and sister won't allow it.

Even deities can't persuade a change of mind, let alone you.

With your words, I'm at ease.

Things have come to this, indeed a bit troublesome.

But it's not necessarily impossible.

Good, my lady.

What's on your mind?

Let's use a two-pronged approach.

On one hand, I'll step forward

and try to persuade Kangning to reconsider.

On the other hand,

we'll penetrate the enemy's camp,

disrupt their foothold,

making it difficult for her to stand alone.

This time, I must confront Shouhua and fight with her.

Now dressed so lively and spirited.

All made new at the shop.

Why bother with this trouble?

It's no trouble, no trouble at all.

Come on. Sit.

How can those made outside

compare to what's made within the family?

I knew long ago my son-in-law is no ordinary person.

Destined to rise high.

It's just a matter of time.

You are, after all, the proud mother of the top provincial scholar.

You need to dress up.

Shouhua arrives.

Feel it, Mrs. Du. Kangning is busy embroidering the wedding dress.

The clothes have been made to fit your measurements.

If you find them ill-fitting anywhere, I'll help you alter them.

They fit well and comfortable.

This was done just by eye and yet they fit so well.

Truly a fine craft.

I had someone find my son-in-law's old clothes

and had Shouhua make two new sets.

Later, there's the imperial examination and the proclamation of his name.

There'll be salutations to the ancient sages and teachers.

A feast to celebrate the good news.

Without several sets of bright and fresh clothing, that just won't do.

My dear in-laws.

If it weren't for your thoughtfulness, I wouldn't have known

about all these conventional customs underlying it.

I really don't understand these things.

Thanks to Shouhua's reminder,

otherwise,

I almost neglected my son-in-law's important matters.

Shouhua must be the Weaver Girl reincarnated.

Such fine stitching.

I wish I had two sons

to marry Shouhua and take her back home as well.

Before I leave, I must settle all the old accounts in the shops.

Clear up all of them.

Okay.

Master, the kitchen at Xiangguo Temple had a leak.

The Chai family donated timber and stones.

The old abbot is very grateful.

Madam wants a water and land ritual for him, hosted by the old abbot.

She copied scriptures specifically. Please deliver them yourself tomorrow.

Okay.

You stole the bracelet from our house? Come on. Follow me.

-I don't know. -Go.

Cousin.

-What? What are you looking at? -Nothing.

Shouldn't we go to the temple to hold the service?

Come on. Let's go.

XIANGGUO TEMPLE

This way, please, Master Chai.

The abbot is waiting in the front kitchen.

Master Chai.The abbot is waiting for you.

Little master.

I've heard your temple has nice scenery and flourishing incense.

I'd like to admire it too. I wonder if that would be possible?

I haven't heard today of any ladies from notable families coming to worship.

Master, feel free to take a walk.

If you encounter any ladies on the way, then just avoid them.

Shouhua.

I invited Kangning to offer incense

to pray for her future husband's imperial examination,

but you're following. Are you afraid I might kidnap Kangning?

We have a traitor in the house.

I must keep a closer eye on Kangning.

Who are you calling a traitor?

In the end, you're one of the Fans.

Come out quickly.

Honey, Shouhua is quite astute.

As though your tricks could fool anyone.

She thinks that by following, I'll be out of options.

Thinking herself clever.

Right, honey, regarding home…

There's no need for you to babble on. I've already hired help. Go check on it.

-Don't let Shouhua notice. -Okay.

This is the newly arrived tea, right?

I will inventory it before storing it.

Haode.

You're here to check the goods. Why didn't you bring the ledger?

The ledger is all in my mind. Go ahead.

Just trust me.

I checked it twice at the dock this morning.

This is the 45 wen wax tea.

The 165 wen piece tea, the large roll medium size.

This is Linghua, green sprout.

This is the poplar wood and grass paper required by the steward.

You're all talk. I'll just count slowly.

You're here.

No wonder I couldn't find you.

Shouhua asked me to stay.

I'm learning how to take inventory and receive goods.

You're not one to have the patience for detail-oriented work.

Go play with Leshan.

When you come back, ensure the accounts are clear.

Don't worry, I won't tell her.

Really?

Qiongnu, you're so kind.

I'm leaving. I'll bring you fruit when I come back.

Don't forget.

Go.

-Hey, wood! Hurry up and move it inside. -Okay.

Quick, move it inside.

Quick.

Come on.

Great Compassion, Great Mercy, Guan Yin.

I don't ask for marriage

or the future.

Only because someone is embarking on a long journey.

Especially praying to the Bodhisattva for blessings.

If this trip goes well,

I ask the Bodhisattva for a favorable divination. If not possible…

Kangning.

This divination of yours, for me?

If it's not accurate, then I'll do it again.

Who?

Mother, where's Kangning?

She is worshiping Guan Yin in the front hall.

Shouhua. I've only been away for a moment.

I'm not a criminal. No need for round-the-clock vigilance.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand.

The Du family is sending a betrothal gift.

Mother said we need to get married before the imperial examination.

Bless me.

The wedding date is set for the 18th of February.

Shouhua hopes you can postpone for a couple more days.

Hesitating because she can't bear to part with you.

Some people say yes verbally, but they don't mean it in their heart.

I'm consistent in word and heart.

Shouhua, it's settled then.

Everything is settled. Go back now.

Bodhisattva, I'm leaving.

Such a great opportunity has been missed. All my painstaking planning was in vain.

The wedding date is set for the 18th of February.

That's really rushing it. A mother-in-law fears a good son-in-law being taken away.

February 18th.

What a coincidence,

I'm also setting out on that day.

Won't be able to make it for the wedding drinks.

Prepare a big gift on my behalf.

What?

Prepare gifts?

Madam Li, congratulations!

The Du family has officially proposed.

Quick, bring over the matchmakers' gift boxes.

Join in the joy.

A little token of sincerity. It's not much of a respect.

-Join in the joy! -Stop!

I'd like to see who dares to forcefully marry my Chai family's daughter-in-law.

Li Kangning is my Chai family's daughter-in-law.

Be you a family of official nobility or a wealthy household?

I'd like to see who dares to send a marriage proposal.

I'll smash apart anyone who comes.

-Madam Li. -Who's that outside making such a racket?

-When did your daughter get betrothed? -Go see.

Shouhua has given her instructions.

No matter how much commotion there is outside,

you shouldn't go out.

Why?

Fearing that the Chai family might abduct you.

The Chai family?

Abducting you?

What a joke.

Since when did Kangning become your daughter-in-law?

It's for the sake of your son,

Master Chai,

that I respect you.

Otherwise, I would have kicked you out with a stick long ago.

Dear neighboring gentry and fellow villagers.

You must bear witness for me.

My family, the Chai, resides in the city of Bianjing.

We are a family with a good name and reputation.

I need to pick those families with generations in officialdom

who wish to marry into my family.

Why would I force a connection with the Li family?

Let me ask you.

In early October, our two families exchanged cards and agreed on a marriage.

There is such a thing, right?

Mid-month, my family made the betrothal,

and your Li family gave a reciprocal gift.

Did I ever lie about this?

Two reputable matchmakers can bear witness for me.

A whole ten boxes for the betrothal gift.

How dare your Li family go back on the marriage?

We have been matchmakers for 20 years.

Known far and wide, people all can testify.

Really? How can this be?

-Exactly. -Such a substantial bride price.

So what?

-Okay. -Older sister, please save my son.

Madam Chai, the words spoken that day in the Pan Restaurant,

all have gone down the river.

Just over a few critical remarks about the betrothal gift.

I've already personally visited to apologize.

But I never once said I'd back out of the engagement.

Fuhui, you tell them.

When have I ever said to back out of the engagement?

So, it's true.

In October, one match was made. Now, another one follows.

Mother Li, you've made a good deal indeed.

I know.

Promised twice.

Honored neighbors.

You must all stand up for me.

The Li family, watching closely

as the Du family gained an academic champion,

developed mercenary intentions

and used trivial matters as an excuse

to call off the marriage.

This…

This is just too outrageous.

Madam Chai.

Our two families merely discussed marriage without actually concluding the betrothal.

So, how can there be talk of retracting the marriage to marry another?

Who says I didn't give a betrothal gift?

The betrothal gift from my family is clearly in your house.

This is my family's storeroom. There's nothing inside, just tea leaves.

-It must be here. -No.

Someone come here. Search for me!

-Yes. -No.

-The stuff in here is too delicate. -Mother.

-I need to sell it for silver, Mother. -The dowry is but a shadow of a matter.

Have her search and see what she can find.

-No, take a look. -I need to sell it for silver.

Sudden clearings and rain are not traits of a good matchmaker.

Unnecessarily stirring up this trouble.

However good this Li Kangning might be,

I'm afraid this may not be the good fortune destined for my son.

Careful! Careful. I need to sell this for money.

-Ms. Chai. -If it gets damp, it won't sell.

-These are all our family's tea leaves. -Everyone, take a look.

Tea that's dampened doesn't sell well.

It's okay.

Are these tea leaves?

Look.

Everyone, look.

This is from my Chai family.

A prepared beaded and jade coronet.

Four pairs of gold bracelets.

This is a tea cake.

This is foreign wine.

Look.

How did my fine tea goods

all become a dowry?

Mother, there is a girl at home serving as an offering.

She betrayed her own mother and sisters.

Right, everything in this box is of the highest quality.

-Fine silk. -The evidence is as solid as a mountain.

Dare to marry off the daughter to someone else!

I'll take you to court over this!

Madam Li, it's your fault.

How can you go back on your word?

This shouldn't be said like this.

Your love for your daughter has made you a mercenary.

It's human nature, after all.

But one mountain always looks higher than the next.

Promising marriage and changing your mind. This violates the Great Song laws.

That's right.

Sue me. It's up to you.

Sue me. Go ahead and sue me.

It was your family who despised poverty and loved wealth first

and did not marry into my family.

Now, it's all good.

Now, you turn around and come back crawling.

Is there such a headless lawsuit?

I wonder who will take your complaint?

Quickly ask your two daughters.

Dare to betroth the daughter and marry her off to another.

That calls for a hundred strokes of punishment.

A punishment of one, a hundred strokes indeed.

Mother.

-Injustice! -How can I, one woman, marry two men?

This is bad, Fourth Sister. Discuss with the Du family.

-It's making my life difficult. -I'll have to go right away.

It's not good to let the Du family know.

The matchmaker's left.

With such a commotion, the neighbors will hear.

-No, hurry up and go. -But…

Don't push. Who is this?

Madam Li, Madam Chai.

My old lady has said

that both of you come from respectable families.

Let's not let outsiders laugh about it.

Everything can be discussed.

You two, please talk in the courtyard.

Madam.

An'er, rest assured.

Although the Li family are troublemakers,

if it really comes to a fight, then Mother won't lose.

If she still refuses to back down, then I'll take her to court.

Auntie, you're really imposing.

You dare to say it was all your instigation.

Mother.

It hurts.

What?

-Isn't it all for you? -I don't need it.

For this marriage, to frame the Li family for reneging on the marriage.

You've the nerve to think of it, all rotten ideas.

Let me tell you.

I'm definitely going to Quanzhou.

The date is set. No one can change my mind.

If my mother makes a scene again I'll beat you up.

Aunt.

Does it hurt, scratching yourself like that?

What do you think?

-The skin is broken. -Exactly.

That was quite a heavy hand.

Have these two gone mad to actually manage a laugh?

Master, for whom are mistress and Master Fan here?

You know well. Anyhow, accept this kindness.

-Just-- -Hold your tongue.

-Prepare the gifts right away. -Let's go to the Li family now.

After this slap, without sweets, wouldn't my hand hurt in vain?

Come with me to the Du family.

Du family.

Master.

Isn't it winning first place on the provincial exam?

Two years ago, when Meng wanted a house, didn't he ask our lord for a loan?

And he gets to act big in front of you.

And that Lingyao, is another example of ingratitude.

Indeed, it was our fault to begin with.

It's only right to wait a bit longer.

What? Has this already tired out your legs?

I wouldn't dare.

Yuanming.

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Look at me, getting so engrossed in reading I forget all else.

Forgive me if there's been any discourtesies.

It is we who have disturbed you.

Yesterday, it was my mother who was at fault first.

I only fear you might take offense.

We've come to your door to apologize.

We even thought Yuanming would not let us in.

Nonsense. Come in and let's talk.

Please.

Old An.

-Slow down. -Who is that?

That's a famous rich merchant from Bianjing, with the surname Chai.

Chai.

Could it be him?

Old An.

Two years ago,

when Master Chai was on a business trip, did he ever pass through Ezhou?

Let me tell you, when he gets there, he won't have imagined it to be like this.

I know.

Isn't this method quite good?

An'er.

-Cousin. -You're back.

I was thinking of discussing with you.

Mother, I've apologized to the Du family on your behalf.

Explained the ins and outs.

The marriage alliance between the Du and Li families remains as before.

Let this matter end here.

You don't want to marry Li Kangning anymore?

No. If you two make trouble again,

then I'll set off for Quanzhou tomorrow.

An'er.

An'er.

If you want to go to Quanzhou, I won't stop you.

But you have to get married before you go.

-Get married? -Yes.

After all, you can't marry Li Kangning anymore.

Whoever you marry, it's all the same. I'll decide for you.

Do you think marriage is like buying something at the market?

You miss it early, so you get something random.

I don't have that habit.

I advise you to give up this idea.

I brought you up,

and now you're educating Mother.

The Du family's wedding is on February 18. I'll do it on the 16th.

I'll make it grand and lively.

Wait and see.

Fan Lianghan, what are you doing?

Cousin, Aunt sent me to tie you up.

It's only right for a mother to bind her son.

Just be honest and you'll suffer less.

Fan Lianghan. Aren't you afraid I'll dislocate your bones?

No.

No.

No.

Come, prop him up for me.

Move.

Fan Lianghan, tell them to let me go. Who is your master?

You always want to teach people lessons. I've endured you for over ten years.

Today, I can hold my head high and breathe freely.

Chai An, you domineering tyrant.

Now you've met your match.

Come, gag his mouth for me.

-Quickly. -I'm telling you, you're finished.

Fan Lianghan.

Fan Lianghan.

Why are you still tied up? It's not right.

Mother, no.

Look, we just put the wedding attire on him.

It took six people to hold him down.

Look, he bit me.

-Mother, look. -Let him go.

Stop right there.

Try to leave today and see what happens.

If you dare to go to Quanzhou, I'll hang myself right before your eyes.

I'll die right now for you.

You're my son.

Your nature of keeping your word

may not have fallen from the sky.

The son takes after his mother.

Mother, please don't deceive me anymore. I don't believe you would really bear it.

You've got a hold on my pulse.

I understand you too.

You want to leave, I won't stop you, but the wedding invitations are sent out.

Your father's acquaintances and old friends.

The Chai family's close relatives and friends.

And those business associates of yours, I invited them all.

These people are just outside waiting to have the wedding banquet.

I really want to see if you can leave these guests behind.

You can board the boat with peace of mind.

Mother, don't force me.

Madam.

The bridal sedan chair is at the door.

I'm not forcing you. Your choice.

Want to make the Chai family lose face

and become the joke of the city,

or the generations of management destroyed in one fell swoop?

You just go.

He's really gone, Aunt.

What's the rush?

The bridal sedan chair is at the door. Where could he run to?

Right.

Why just stand there? Hurry to welcome the bridal sedan chair.

-Go quickly. -Alright.

Everything's here. It's all here.

Scatter the beans and grains.

Welcoming good fortune now.

Scatter the grain beans.

Welcoming the joy now.

Here comes the bridegroom.

Everyone, make way.

Congratulations to the bridegroom.

Please, everyone, quiet down.

I have something to say.

The Chai family is getting married,

but I, the bridegroom, don't even know which family

the girl I'm to marry is from.

The person in the sedan chair probably

is still in the dark about it.

I will soon set off for Quanzhou

to conduct business overseas.

It might take three to five years to return.

Even if I return, I won't acknowledge this marriage.

Once you enter this doorway,

it'll be nothing but a waste of your youth.

Time will slip away in vain.

Fortunately, the wedding ceremony is not yet complete.

You haven't worshiped heaven and earth with me.

Not entering my family's ancestral temple, then you're not truly one of the Chai's.

I will immediately write a letter of divorce

describing today's events in detail.

The betrothal gifts from my Chai family

were all to provide dowry for the young lady.

May you, miss, soon leave this suffering

and once again don the phoenix crown,

seeking a distinguished and talented family

to form another fine match.

Where did this bridal sedan come from?

Take it back to where it came from.

Kangning, did you hear what the bridegroom said?

He's ordering the bridal sedan to turn around

and head back to the mansion.

Lift the sedan.

Kangning.

Master Chai, where are you going?

-Didn't you let the sedan turn around? -I--

As the dignified head of the Chai family, how can you go back on your word?

Sister-in-law.

Fuhui.

You're so kind.

If you don't show mercy,

then I won't make it through.

I have bowed before you and paid my respects.

Then what do you call me? Call me brother-in-law.

-It's time. Please come down. -Play the music.

Nice.

Hold on.

Let's not mention the earlier rudeness.

Now, we must follow the customs of the wedding ritual.

-Don't worry. It's not your turn yet, son. -Okay.

Here.

If you dare to make another sound, then I'll throw you down the mountain.

-I'll poke you… -Callous, cruel, and shameless.

Done yet?

First wish, for the lotus to bloom with joined petals.

Second wish, for the birth of a precious child soon.

Third prayer, for wealth, honor, and splendor.

Fourth blessing, for auspicious fortune and peace.

For the couple to live harmoniously until old age.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Two newlyweds, please drink the nuptial cup.

Tilting the cup to coincide with a union.

Yin and Yang in harmony.

Great luck and great prosperity.

A match made in heaven.

Good.

Bridegroom, it's time to toast.

Let's go.

Bye.

Good.

Come on. Let's drink.

Let's drink.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What a joy.

-Come on. -We have to be drunk.

Chai An.

Master.

If today inside that sedan chair wasn't me,

then you're really going to Quanzhou?

Yes.

But…

But what?

But…

I'm taking you with me.

Okay.

So your deployment was a self-sacrificing ruse.

No.

My lady.

What I have done

is called "put oneself in apparent peril, then to recover".

The Li family is full of complaints against me.

You're filled with misunderstandings.

My mother is stubbornly misguided.

I had no choice but this last-ditch plan.

To reconcile my mother-in-law with my mother and dispel their past grudges

and to make you constantly worry about me

with anxiety and deep concern.

There actually exists such a deceitful person like you in this world.

-You clearly deceived me into marrying-- -Kangning.

Dear Kangning.

Although you have your strategy,

without my convenient easterly wind

just turning a blind eye,

let's see how you'll manage to hoist the sail

and steer the ship.

Kangning.

There are no strangers here. No need to be shy.

The matter of marriage.

I need to hear your opinion.

I…

Her thoughts…

No need to ask.

You can tell.

Shouhua, you have seen it with your own eyes.

Forced Kangning to marry Du Shengyuan.

Afraid she'll be dissatisfied all her life.

I see that Du Yangxi is very scheming.

Not very easy to deal with.

I worry I can't handle it myself.

The Li family would suffer from it.

Shouhua, good sister.

Save me.

If he had no schemes, then how would he stand in the officialdom?

You are good at assigning roles.

I think you just can't bear to part with Chai An.

What's the difficulty? The Du family just wants to repay a kindness.

It's not necessarily about which one to get.

Nice.

Mother negotiated with the Du family matriarch.

Have someone replace Kangning.

I knew it.

As usual.

As usual, no one renege.

Shouhua said

that she has a way to make the Du family change their stance.

Agree to this "substituting the plum for the peach" strategy.

Okay.

Turns out your family had colluded long ago.

Specifically plotting against this fool in love.

The commotion is inevitable.

Besides, my family is in a tough spot.

Must do it for the Du family to see.

My mother has spoken.

The Chai family's previous cancellation of the marriage was too heartless.

She's still mad.

And you, you even made Fuhui an inside mole.

You must use this counter-espionage strategy.

Can't help but make you worry to the core.
