[Marvelous Woman]

[Episode 11]

Eldest Mistress! For the words Mr. Wei just said,
don't take it to heart.

He doesn't really understand our situation.

[Ren Clan Ancestral Hall]

[The Forefathers' Virtues Will Be a Model for Meritorious Deeds]

You tell you,

as Ren Family's matriarch,

what's the purpose to live?

What's the purpose to live?

Please tell me,

What's the purpose?

Miss Zeng is home safe and sound.
Don't worry.

Thank you.

Eldest Master, you might want to give up your hope.

The matter between you and Miss Zeng,
Old Madam will not give you the blessing.

I know my mother will not approve.

Do you understand when the love comes,
you can't control your own will.

17th next month is a good day, let's get married.

Cuixi.

I came to Ren Family when I was nine,

the entire Suzhou knows about it.

I'm the appointed daughter-in-law of this family.

I'm the future family matriarch.

Eldest master, if you married Miss Zeng,

how am I going to live in the future?

But Cuixi, all these years,

Miss Zeng is the only person in my heart, you knew that.

I know you only has Zeng Baoqin in your heart,

I don't complain and I don't blame you.

I just want you to give me a way to survive.

Cuixi, you lost your parents when you were young,

then you take refuge at our Ren Family.
Other people said you had a rough life,

no body to rely on.
In addition to my mother's strict treatment.

Kesi requires lots of heart and patience.
No matter how tough and tired you are,

I never seen you complain.

You are a good lady. Truly.

But...

I...Ren Xuetang,

is a heartless and ungrateful man.

I don't deserve you.

I don't know what is deserve or what not.

I am as educated as Miss Zeng,
I cannot say all the beautiful words.

I am begging you, Eldest Master.
Please give me a way to survive.

Give me a way to survive, eldest master.

Eldest master.

I promise you, I will let you live.

We will get married on 17th of next month.

I will let you to become the matriarch of the Ren Family.

Miss Shu Fang.

Is Eldest mistress doing well?

Thanks for your concern.

Eldest mistress eats well, sleep well.
She is doing well.

I heard...Eldest Mistress is sick?

You must have heard wrong.

I hope Eldest Mistress will forgive me to what I said.

Mr. Wei, who do you think you are?

Why would Eldest Mistress care about the words you said?

You think too highly of yourself.

That's good to hear Eldest Mistress is doing well.
It's a relief to me.

Sorry to bother you, Miss Shu Fang.

Second master, why are you here?

I pass by here.

Did you hear anything earlier?

Are you afraid of me heard of something?

Nothing. Eldest Mistress is waiting for me.

That's right. I haven't congratulated Miss Shu Fang.

Congratulate me? About what?

Of course is to congratulate you and Mr. Wei,

lifetime of happiness and grow old together.

Don't worry, when Miss Shu Fang and Mr. Wei get married,
I will definitely send you an expensive gift.

Miss Shu Fang, what do you like?

Jewelers? Cosmetic? Writing utensils?

Ren Rufeng, are you done here?

What...is...it?

Shu Fang!

How are you do that to me?
Second master!

Miss Shu Fang and Mr. Wei didn't make it.

Didn't make it?

What happened?

I heard Mr. Wei looks down on Miss Shu Fang.
He rejected the marriage.

What did you say?

Wei Lianggong is not even that good.

He's just a teach with no money,
how dare he looks down on our Shu Fang.

He is insane!

No! I need to give him a lesson.

- Calm down! You can't go.
-Why not?

Think again, there aren't that many people know about this.

If you go and make a scene, everybody would know.
Miss Shu Fang's feeling must be hurted.

That's right.

I will let it go this time but I will remember this.

Remember.

Calm down!

- Her kick was no joke.
- Are you in pain?

Mother.

It's for me?

What happened to your hand?

It's nothing.

Did you make this?

This figure looks a bit like me.

I'm happy as long as mother likes it.

Teacher.

Did you take my wooden figure?

I want to make my mother happy.
Teacher, you may punish me.

Consider your filial affection, I'll forgive you.

Thank you, Teacher!

Xiushan, slow down!

Xiushan!

Xiushan! Slow down!

- Take Xiushan for dinner.
- Okay.

Xiushan, let's go.

This little wood figure,

there is no way Xiushan made this.

Eldest Mistress, I hope you don't mind.

It's because I'm thinking of someone in my heart,

I cannot accommodate another one.

I'm something to do. I'm heading out first.

Eldest Mistress, it's late.
It's time to go to bed.

You cut those treads

and prepare to weave.

What are you doing?

[Excel in Both Field Work and Academy To Pass On Through Generations]

Eldest Sister-in-law, something happened.

Suzhou Weaving Bureau spot checked and said our colored flower brocade is bad quality.

They said it is not up to the standard, need to redo.
They will inform us the deadline.

The inspector was Ding Rong?

That's correct.

How about Zhang Family, Zhao Family and Lu Family?
What did Ding Rong say about their qualities?

They didn't say anything and accepted all of them.

They accepted everything?

Did they say when will they pay?

As you know the Weaver Bureau will take the products this year and pay us with silver next year.

As how to settle the payment and what whether the silver is pure or not,

that depend on the Chancellor and Magistrate's mood.

In the past few years, Chancellor's mood has not been great.

Delinquent payments to the weavers is not uncommon.

That's right. We all holding our angers.

Eldest Mistress and Second Master,

Ding Rong is here.

Prefect timing. Let him wait.

Got it!

Let him wait?

Sister-in-law, Ding Rong is a the Lead Weaver, he is also backed by the Chancellor, Li Zhao.

We cannot mess around with him.

For this particular matter, no matter is Ding Rong or Li Zhao, I will be upsetting them.

We have no way out.

Sister-in-law, are you making the move?

I'm making the move, why are you so excited?

Sister-in-law, I'm not going to lie,

I've enough after all these years.

I have not bitten someone up for many years.
Ding Rong thinks he is a big deal.

Base on what he comes to our family to declare his power.

Base on what?

Isn't that the Lead Weaver of Suzhou Weaving Bureau?
[Qingyue Workshop]

- Why is he being rejected outside the house?
-Let's go!

Isn't he the Lead Weaver of Suzhou Weaving Bureau?

Lead Weaver of Suzhou Weaving Bureau.

Let's go.

How is it?

Lead Weaver. I'm sorry, please wait a bit longer.
There are no appropriate space to greet you.

Water?

I'm sorry, Lead Weaver. We know you buy silk and recruit weavers,

all the good weavers are at the Weaving Bureau.
We, Qingyue Workshop is doing so poor.

We can't even afford tea leaf.

I hope you understand.

Shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Lu.

Zhao...

Lead Weaver.

What? Why can't I go in?

Our Eldest Mistress has said, please wait!

Your Ren Family's Eldest Mistress,

is overly arrogant.

It's because Lead Weaver, you low down on the products from our workshop.

We have to think of a way to give you some sort of explanation, isn't it?

[Qingyue Workshop]

This really can be seen as

rich and displaying light and colour.

I don't think it is rich and displaying light and colours. It just turned out rough.

Rough?

Who said that? I'm afraid they are blind.

The Director, Ding Rong. He said it.

So it was that brat Ding Rong.

Then that isn't that he is blind. That is that his heart is dark.

Now, the Director has ordered our Ren Family

to send in another batch that's of better quality.

But the question is whether the quality is good or not

and that all depends on what he has to say. There is no criteria at all.

Then this way, there will be no end to this all in the future.

Eldest Mistress has spoken a big truth.

Whether the quality is good or bad, it all depends on what the Director says.

If he says that it isn't good, if you be nicer to him,

the most you get is him saying 'good'.

If you aren't not nice to him, then no matter what, you will never be praised for your work.

Can he let people live anymore?

That's right.

Lives like this, who knows when it will end.

That's right.

All the shopkeepers of Suzhou's silk shops are here.

Why don't we take a bet.

Bet on what?

I bet that Ding Rong is using our family as a start

to dig out the roots Suzhou.

This...

[Qingyue Workshop]

Director, our Eldest Mistress invited you in.

Eldest Mistress, Director Ding Rong is here.

He's here.

Eldest Mistress.

Shopkeeper Zhang. Shopkeeper Lu. Shopkeeper Zhou.

Lead Weaver, you are too courteous.

Eldest Mistress, this...

Eldest Mistress,

recently in Qingyue Workshop,

there has been a bit of problems with quality.

I also had no other solutions as well.

In the whole of the history of the Ren Family, it was the first time

someone said that our quality had some problems. I have no solutions anymore.

Tell us. How are we going to do this now?

I...

The new brocade patterns from Qingyue Workshop are

has auspicious flowers and turtle at the back of the brocade,

green mugwort ground, twin lions, balls and road brocade.

And also, blue ground, rectangular marks, mirror and flower brocade.

For these brocades,

There were some problems with the quality,

then it must be that something went wrong with Madam's way of doing it.

So... I was thinking

to have Eldest Mistress come with us to Suzhou Office

to carefully tell the way to make this

to the workers in the office.

To carefully look at the way to make it. I wonder what Eldest Mistress thinks.

Not bad, Ding Rong.

He really was someone who stayed at my Qingyue Workshop and was the shopkeeper. He really knows what to do in the industry.

As soon as you try to do something, you try to get to the roots of our workers.

And try and to tell the workers at the Suzhou Office

carefully about the different techniques.

It sounds so easy.

The years of work that my Ren Clan have done,

and you really have no shame, Ding Rong. You just immediately ask for it liket hat.

In this world, there really is something that cheap?

Eldest Mistress, I...

- Ding Rong.
- Shopkeeper Zhao.

It's not that I'm trying to scold you,

but you are a craftsman as well.

Doing this, are you not afraid that you'll die as the last person of your family line?

Ding Rong.

This is just despicable and shameless.

- Ding Rong.
- Second Master Ren

you actually know to call me Second Master?

Second Master.

You dare?!

Why would I not dare? I've already hit you. Ridiculous.

You...

You... You...

What do you want to do? Are you rebelling?

Shen Cuixi,

I am not afraid to talk to you clearly.

If this person who officiates over the law of weaving

is the current Director of Suzhou Weaving Bureau,

You have to give it to us. Even if you don't want to give it, you have to hand it over!

When us businesses come into contact with the government,

we will give money and so.

But, this is the first time

Some people say the Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau has a

proper title, but chooses to be a robber.

To come and steal our craftsman's life work.

- No, that's not it.
- Someone come

and chase out this nasty person who's corrupting the Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau's name!

- Shen Cuixi, you...
- Get out!

I... Shen Cuixi!

Idiot.

Ren Rufeng! Shen Cuixi!

[Qingyue Workshop]

Shen Cuixi. Ren Rufeng, you come...

Why are they even fighting?

Ding Rong. Hurry up and scram.

Despicable nasty man.

Disgusting!
(T/N: He's spitting in contempt)

Are you okay?

Eldest Mistress. What do we do now?

Behind Ding Rong, he has Li Zhao.

Although Li Zhao is trying to go against our Ren Family,

but if we let him get his way, then the next time,

it will be your turn to look out for Zhang and Lu Families.

Do we still want those skills that have been passed down for generations?

So this time, we cannot surrender.

This started because of the Ren Family.

I am in charge of this house.

Naturally, I would be the one to take the lead.

[Qingyue Workshop]

[Stopping business]

They're stopping business?
[Qingyue Workshop]

What's going on?
[Stopping business]

[Little Qingyue Workshop]

- Five goes to five, enter two.
- It's wrong.

It's five goes to five, enter one.

Why is Qingyue Workshop closed at this hour?

[Qingyue Workshop]

Boss, Eldest Mistress Ren and the other top four weaving businesses have closed.

A lot of other weaving businesses have closed too.

Go, close out shop too.

- Yes.
- Wait a second!

Miss, Lord Li has always taken good care of us.

If we close our shop now, would he be upset?

He made a huge mistake this time.

Go ahead. Close the shop.

[ Little Qingyue Workshop]

[This shop is closed. We hope you will be magnanimous.]

Boss, everything's fine. Why did everyone suddenly close shop?

The Ding Family Silk Workshop,

the Ding Family's Silk Workshop of Head Weaver Ding, right?

Yes.

[Li Ji Red Bean Porridge]

Seventh Uncle.

Ding Rong's wife,

now you are no longer Eldes Mistress' servant girl.

Hence, no need to address me as Seventh Uncle.

Also, everyone says an evil servant deceives their master. Your family

has shown me what that really means.

[ Qingyue Workshop]

Lord Li.

- Lord Li.
- Lord Hao, you're in a good mood.

You didn't eat yet, right? Come have a bowl of wantons.

Alright.

Boatman, please dock over there.

Alright.

- Here, Lord Li.
Lord Cao.

Please sit.

Master Liu.

This is so strange. This street used to be full of shops.

- Enjoy.
-Thanks.

But, I also feel that the more people, the more chaotic.

Now that it's suddenly calm, I'm not used to it.

Add some vinegar.

Thank you.

Lord Cao's impeachment of Li Mou's accounts, I fear it has been delivered to the capital during the night.

It's my duty. Please forgive me.

I understand.

I don't know why

but today's wantons are especially good. It's so opened my appetite.

Make two more bowls.

Shopkeeper, make two more bowls. Hurry.

[Suzhou Weaving Bureau]

[Soldiers]

[False]

These merchants are truly merchants.

They'd rather have money than their lives.

I just want some brocade weaving strategies and they're bold enough to threaten me.

Do you think they even respect the imperial court?

- Sir—
- Is Ding Rong still kneeling outside?

- Yes.
- Go bring him.

Yes.

You still have the face to kneel here. Bring him in!

Greetings, Sir.

Ding Rong,

what did Shen Cuixi say when she chased you out of Qingyue Workshop?

Sir,

that day she said,

Someone come and chase out this nasty person who's corrupting the Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau's name!

Ding Rong. You acted rashly by yourself.

Outside, you hurt my reputation.

You caused the whole of Suzhou Weaving Bureau to close business. Tell me,

how should I deal with you?

Lord. I did everything by what you told me to do.

My orders?

What did I order you to do?

Is it possible that I ordered you

not to slack on the Weaving Bureau's assignments.

It also couldn't be that I ordered you to strictly monitor product quality.

Sir, please don't be angry. Forgive me.

Ding Rong. You have offended Shen Cuixi.

You have brought me such a big problem. How you are going to make it up to me,

how to solve this problem, how you are going to save my reputation,

deal with it yourself.

Sir.

Sir, what ideas could I have?

I...

Ding Rong, I heard your wife is pregnant.

Yes.

Sir,

his wife was Shen Cuixi's personal servant girl.

Ding Rong made such a big problem,

as his wife, she should go kneel in front of her previous master.

And beg for mercy. It's also human nature.

Isn't that right, Ding Rong?

Sir, my wife is pregnant. Her body isn't that well.

If something happens, then two live will be lost. Sir, I beg you.

I'll take responsibility for everything myself.

Tomorrow, I'll go kneel in front of the Ren Residence. I'll go beg Eldest Mistress.

If she doesn't agree to meet with me, I'll hit my head and die right there.

Lose two lives at once? That's not that easy.

- No.
- It's just to put on a show.

Ding Rong, Zhen Cuixi hates you to the core.

Even if you die in front of her, she won't furrow a brow.

It's better for your wife to go. She's pregnant and Shen Cuixi is a woman. Woman to woman,

she's show some mercy, right?

Rest assured. You, your wife, and your entire family

will all be alright.

Sir, my wife's body is really weak.

I beg you.

Scram.

Qiao'er, only you can help me with this now.

If you're not willing to help me,

I-I can only go die.

But with what you did, how can I go beg Eldest Mistress?

You were her close servant girl.

If you go beg her, it will definitely work.

Eldest Mistress cares so much about you.

She will definitely agree, don't you think?

[Ren Residence]

- Eldest Mistress.
- Hurry, get up.

- Second Master, Older Sister Shufang.
- Who told you to kneel here?

Hurry and get up. Hurry!

What are you doing here? Where's Ding Rong?

What a coward.

Ding Rong doesn't have the face to meet you.

He doesn't have face?

But he has the face to have a pregnant woman and her two kids kneel here?

- Hurry up and go inside.
- Eldest Mistress, it's all Ding Rong's fault.

He was blinded by greed and coveted your weaving techniques.

So he falsely used Lord Li's name to make things difficult for you.

Eldest Mistress, just kill me. My family has wronged you.

Qiao'er, he's confused and you're confused now too, is it?

You're even willing to bear the weight of such a huge crime. Can you handle it?

Yes, it is Ding Rong's fault. It's our entire family's fault.

No matter how you punish me, I'll endure it. My life was given by you.

- I'll return it to you.
- Get up, Qiao'er.

Hurry and get up.

Ding Rong, come out here!

Ding Rong! A man

should take responsibility for his actions.

You had a pregnant woman and two children kneel here.

Are you even a man?

Qiao'er. Qiao'er! Qiao'er!

- Qiao'er, are you alright?
- Qiao'er!

Hurry! Hurry and call the doctor!

Hurry, hurry! She's inside.

How do you view this situation?

Whether it's Qiao'er or Ding Rong, they were both sent by Li Zhao.

The words they said at the door were probably instructed by Li Zhao.

He distinctly covets our Ren family's weaving technique.

Yet he pushed the responsibility onto Ding Rong.

Qiao'er is pregnant and cried at our door. So many people witnessed it.

If word gets out, he'll be totally blameless.

Eldest Sister-in-law, since ancient times, the people and officials do not fight with each other.

Since there's someone to take the responsibility, should we take a step back?

Take a step back? That's not like you.

If it were up to me, I would have dragged Li Zhao out and beat him to a pulp.

But our Ren family's business is so large.

So many people need to work and eat, I can't act on my impulse.

For you to think like that, I can rest assured.

Mother!

- Xiushan!
- Mother!

- Xiushan.
- Xiushan, what are you doing here?

Eldest Mistress. Second Master.

My teachers said something happened at home.

I was worried so I came back to see.

Xiushan.

- Second Uncle.
- At your age, you just need to focus on playing. You don't need to worry about family matters.

But...

No buts. Let's go play.

Let's go!

Slow down!

Sorry, Eldest Mistress.

I didn't keep a good eye on Xiushan.

Xiushan is at a mischievous, playful age.

You're not a god, how could you watch him at all times?

Eldest Mistress,

regarding the four great weaving families ceasing business in Suzhou.

how do you plan to resolve this?

I never though you would know about such an ordinary affair.

This is not a mundane matter. It's the likelihood of a hundred thousand of weaving houses in Suzhou.

If only Lord Li had a confidant like you.

Since this problem has arisen,

then there must be an explanation, right?

It's not difficult to come up with an explanation.

Plus, Lord Li already sent people to kneel in apology at the Ren Residence entrance.

If I may ask,

you are making a statement for the weaving houses in Suzhou.

What path do you plan to take?

What path will I take?

I'll decide when the time comes.

When are you available? Can you take me to listen to gossips?

Eldest Mistress, whenever you're available, I'll take you.

Eldest Mistress, Qiao'er is stable now.

Eldest Mistress,

Qiao'er is stable now.

[Bring Honor to Ancestors and Benefit Future Generations]

Eldest Mistress. Eldest Mistress!

The doctor came and said Qiao'er is fine.

It's just that her body is extremely weak

and needs to recuperate. She can't be reckless anymore.

Thank you, Eldest Mistress. Thank you, Eldest Mistress. Thank you, Eldest Mistress.

Lord Li wanted Qiao'er to kneel at the Ren Residence entrance, right?

Eldest Mistress,

Lord Li said you'll hold onto old affection

and won't make her and the children suffer.

I also re—

Everyone is scheming against my Eldest Sister-in-law.

- I'll kill yo—
- That's enough, Second Master.

Ding Rong, go back and tell Lord Li,

"Weaving brocades are a craftsman's basic skill.

Not mentioning outsiders, even within the family, we only pass it down to sons and not daughters."

If Lord Li wants the weaving houses to start operating, it's very simple.

Provide a written pledge to the one hundred thousand weaving houses in Suzhou.

Write it down on paper.

They must not be forced to hand over their brocade skills.

When these words are written,

then we'll open our doors and do business.

Presumptuous!

How extremely arrogant.

Shen Cuixi really said that?

Lord, I wouldn't dare lie. Eldest Mistress...

No, Shen Cuixi...

Shen Cuixi really said that.

I'm to give her a written pledge?

Why would I do that? Who does she think she is?

She's just a virago!

She a virago!

You can take your leave.

Lord,

the cessation of businesses by the four major weaving workshops in Suzhou

has already spread all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

If this continues, it won't be good for your promotion.

Then what should I do?

Should I really bow and yield to the merchants?

Shen Cuixi just wants a guarantee.

If you give it,

then that's enough to appease them.

That will give you the freedom to deal with Shen Cuixi.

One page of writing in exchange for Shen Cuixi's life.

It's a trade-off for a hundred thousand of Suzhou's General Accounts Offices. They will totally collapse.

No matter how to look at it, it's worth it.

[Suzhou Weaving General Accounts Office]

Eldest Mistress,

Shopkeepers. This letter is from Lord Li to the hundred thousand weaving houses of Suzhou.

Eldest Mistress.

[Written Pledge that they will not force the weaving houses to hand over their brocade skills.]

Everyone take a look. The Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau agreed.

In the future, those bad people from the weaving bureau

can't use any excuses to force us to hand over our brocade skills.

I never imagined

that the Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau would agree!

- This is great!
- Take a look!

- We really won!
- Yes.

We are merchants who have been bullied.

Every time we meet officials, we had to bow and present gifts.

- This wasn't easy.
- It wasn't easy.

We won!

So, even merchants can force officials to write a a pledge.
