[Song of Youth]

[Episode 20]

Eldest Sister-in-Law, what's the matter?

Do the dishes not meet your taste?

Are you sulking over Eldest Older Brother again?

This is becoming business as usual. What is upsetting you?

Where is Shijie? Why didn't he come to eat?

Eldest Daughter-in-Law, have you made a mistake again and upset my son?

Now he won't even come to eat.

Go and acknowledge you made a mistake in a while. It's not good to keep making a fuss.

It isn't me. My husband was really nice to me today, and he even said he will be good to me from now on.

So why did my son do exactly?

He has been shutting himself in the room and won't let me see him either. I don't know why, but I didn't provoke him.

What urgent matter does he have that he is hiding away in the room?

Do I have to go in person to invite him?

Father, maybe Eldest Brother got too busy and hurt his body. It's fine if he takes a break.

Busy? I think he has lost his mind, more like his soul has left his body.

Father, don't mind me for talking too much. People will sooner or later make mistakes.

Hmm.

Right.

Back then, didn't the Unrest of Sea Bandits was because there was a writing error that mistook 1,000 people to be 5,000?

You should think about yourself!

Master.

Eldest Young Mistress.

Eldest Young Mistress is so unruly. Who was she talking to?

Master, I am not a smooth talker.

That's why I always tell the truth.

Master, you've always said that I'm a tiger daughter from a general's family, and that I will uphold justice. I'll uphold justice and talk straight today.

Eldest Young Master has never liked me. He has just gotten a little nicer. Now that Master gets mixed in, he will dislike me again.

- Eldest Young Mistress, eat, eat.
- It's all Master's fault.Don't you think you have committed a wrong?

I don't want to eat anymore.

Let's eat. Hurry. Xian'er, eat more.

I'm hungry anyway.

Everyone, eat more.

Master, the Red Braised Pork is particularly tender today.

Eat.

Master, didn't the marriage between the Sun and Wu families occur because you highly regarded my father's military authority and wanted to cozy up?

You wanted him to take your side in the imperial court.

In my heart, I thought, even if my father wasn't willing, I would have forced him to.

Why can't you be more understanding about me and Eldest Young Master?

Shut up!

You have become more and more impudent!

Master...

As the eldest daughter-in-law, instead of setting an example for the younger sisters-in-law,

you actually cover for your husband and spout a lot of nonsense at the dining table.

Master...

Go to the ancestral hall and kneel. Do not get up without my permission. Do you hear?

Don't get angry. Master...

Fine, I'll kneel.

Eldest Sister-in-Law,

Master said to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Fine, I'll go!

Madam... Madam, sit down quickly.

Eldest Young Master.

Eldest Young Master.

Miss Tao Yao said that she doesn't deserve reward without achieving a merit. She refused to accept your qin.

She told me to pass a message to you. She said,

You were strangers from the start. Please don't miss her.

So I was just a passerby.

I'm hurting so much.

It's so painful. You didn't know that I...

Sun Shijie, I almost broken my knees in kneeling for your sake.

So you didn't come out for such a long is to make a qin?

Who are you making the qin for? I get it.

You have another woman now. Tell me who that foxy vamp is. I'll beat her up!

I made this qin for you.

You made it for me, Husband?

Husband, you know that I can't play the qin.

No one is born knowing how to play the qin. If you don't know how, you can learn.

I've told you more than once. I like women who can play the qin and understand music.

If you don't want to learn, then forget it.

No, no, no. Don't leave. I want to learn. It's just a qin, right?

But you know that I am a coarse person and don't know these things. Don't be upset.

I'm not upset with you, but you must promise me something.

Before you have learned it, don't come to me.

Shi Jian, I think Eldest Young Master likes me more and more.

He drank the soup I made, and now he's made a qin by himself for me.

Exactly, my good young mistress.

Eldest Young Master is a scholar, not a rough person. He even looks at you with a different kind of gaze now.

I think that you have accumulated virtuous merits to fulfill your wish.

As it is, I should study and practice the qin.

Hurry, hurry, find me the qin playbook.

Yes.

This sounds awful.

Eldest Young Mistress, that wasn't the way to play it.

The left hand should press the strings, and the right should pluk the strings.

I've always taught you that more than ten times.

Before you pluck the strings, you must pay attention to the tone being bright or dark, strong or tender.

Control the strength in your left and rigiht hands to make music from the strings.

When your hands aren't under control, all eight fingers are pressing on the strings at the same time,

I'm afraid the strings will break before you even play a song.

Look at this. Look at this. How long will it take for you to play a single song?

I spent all this money to ask you to teach me, not to lecture me.

My hands are hurting from the practice.

Eldest Young Mistress, nothing is accomplished overnight.

Learning the qin is about diligence, not about how much money it takes.

If you neglect daily practice, even if the celestial fairies come down to teach you, you still wouldn't learn.乖觉

You are so smart, even talk about celestial fairies. If you can do it, go ahead and ask the celestial fairies to come teach me.

I spend a huge sum of money to ask you to teach, but you can't make me learn.

You are just a useless wine sac and rice bag. Go, go, go. You don't need to teach anymore!

(sigh)

Eldest Young Mistress, don't be anxious.

You will definitely succeed in time. When that time comes, you can play any music in the world.

In time?

My hands are hurting so bad.

You are useless. Leave!

Eldest Young Mistress.

Just tell me if there is a quick way.

How about this?

Eldest Young Mistress, you can just keep poking the strings randomly.

This way, you only have to pay attention to the hand gestures and poise.

What are you saying?

I've always been honest and open. You want me to cheat?

Besides, when my husband stands in front of me, wouldn't I be exposed?

A totally useless way. Scram! Scram!

I'll leave right now. I'll leave right now.

I beg you to let me scram immediately.

Aren't I doomed? Spent all that money, I learned nothing.

What is this d*mn thing!

Young Mistress, don't get anxious. Let's do it slowly.

You really are my wife.

Don't be shy. Love is in the eye of the beholder.

Why be so shy about it?

Hey! Hey!

The sun is shining, and you are being lovey dovey. Aren't you embarrassed?

Who has upset Eldest Sister-in-Law?

Brother Yulou, what do you like about Shaochun?

My Shaochun is kind, righteous, intelligent, talented, and courageous.

Furthermore, she is delectfully beautiful.

Just those?

Those are not enough?

I am all of those.

Why doesn't Eldest Young Master like me but like a qin-playing woman?

Look at how my hands are from playing!

Eldest Sister-in-Law, don't be anxious.

To have harmoney between a couple, you must let himm see your strengths.

You shouldn't aggrieve yourself to change yourself based on his preferences.

He likes someone who knows music today, so you learn to play the qin. Tomorrow he likes someone who knows how to paint, are you going to learn how to draw?

Strengths?

That's right. Eldest Sister-in-Law should think about what you excel at.

What strengths do I have? I just know some martial arts.

But when I was still at home, I could play polo.

If there were a polo examination, even if I can't win as number one, I could at least be among the top three.

What a coincidence! Ther will be a polo competition in a few days outside the city. Women folk from every manor will be attending.

In our manor, only Eldest Sister-in-Law knows how to play polo.

Why not take Eldest Brother-in-Law with you at that time?

He is a scholar, so he rarely goes to that kind of event.

If he sees your heroic bearing on horseback at the polo filed, it wll definitely leave an unforgettable impression.

I'm not going. Those precious daughers of big families cannot withstand a single blow.

I can surely win, but it will look like I win with an unfair advantage.

You will win with your own ability. How is that winning with an unfair advantage?

This is for you to make him see how invincible you look. Why conceal such skill that you have?

Later you'll complain that Eldest Brother-in-Law doesn't like you. Why make yourself suffer?

Will it really work?

Regardless of whether it will work, it will at least let Eldest Brother-in-Law see that you aren't useless.

It's fine to try it, but I'm afraid he won't come.

Eldest Brother-in-Law will definitely go. You just need to enter the field to play. The rest,

let Yulou handle it.

Let me?

Sure.

Eldest brother!

Eldest brother, what are you drawing?

Nothing really. I'm just drawing random things to kill time.

Don't be down in the dumps. Father is punishing you,

but we're a family. Don't take it to heart. When father cools down in a bit, I'll put in a good word for you.

Thank you, but you don't have to.

Staying at home all the time, you'll drive yourself crazy.

There's a match in the polo pitch outside the city today. Why don't we watch it together?

You can go by yourself. I'm really not in the mood.

Come with me.

I heard that every family has someone participate in it. Maybe we'll see some acquaintances.

Just have a good time since you all enjoy being in the crowd. If I go, I'll be a killjoy.

Alright. Listen to me. Go now. Don't disturb me while I'm reading.

- Go now.
- What is that?

You know my temperament. If I want to do something, nothing can stop me.

Why do you have to force me? Huan Lang.

Hurry.

Eldest brother.

Eldest brother.

Eldest brother. Eldest brother.

Eldest brother, you're finally woke up.

Yulou, what are you doing?

Don't be angry. I was going to take you here to watch your wife's performance,

but you wouldn't come no matter what I said, so I had to force you.

Ridiculous!

Eldest brother, you're here anyway. Just wait and watch.

Stand aside.

Eldest brother.

Is he angry?

What took you so long? I just fell.

You both are brothers. He won't bear any grudge against you.

If I'd shown up, he would've thought it was my idea and blamed it on me.

What should we do now that he's gone?

It's Eldest Young Mistress's turn now. Maybe it'll be a surprise for your eldest brother as he goes out.

The game starts now.

- Nice! Nice!
- Hurry! Hurry!

- She scored a goal! Nice!
- Good!

I never knew that Eldest Young Mistress is so good at it.

Exactly. No wonder she feels aggrieved at home. The world outside is her place.

Brother Shijie, great! That was wonderful!

- Brother Shijie.
- Brother Shijie, your wife is really in high spirits. She's as good as a man.

- She did a great jobs.
- A few of my colleagues lost to her last time.

In retrospect, it's convincing indeed.

- Exactly.
- Calvary General's daughter is quite something.

Stop!

Brother Shijie, how lucky you are!

Mighty and forceful, she does have a commanding presence.

Lady Sun is a heroine for sure. I never saw a woman like her.

- That's right.
- I haven't seen much.

I always thought that women should read a lot of books.

But there's nothing difficult about reading books. Women like her

who can blow away thousands of enemies are rare. Brother Shijie.

She scored again!

I realized that she has something admirable,

and she's not a good-for-nothing as I expected.

Get the ball. Get the ball. Pass it on the right side.

Nice goal!

The red team will win! The red team will win! The red team will win!

The red team will win! The red team will win!

- Nice goal!
- Excellent!

Time's up! The red team won!

Great!

Shaochun!

- Eldest sister-in-law!
- I won! I won!

Lady Sun!

Husband, I'm here! I won!

- Brother Sun, your wife is calling to you.
- Your wife is calling to you.

- Hurry up and go.
- Go now. Go now.

- I don't want to go.
- Go now.

- Go now.
- Husband! Husband!

Husband, I won!

Husband, I'm here!

Husband!

Where are you going to hide?

I've been missing you very much.

I didn't expect to see you here.

This was a polo match held by Lady Zhang, where I was invited to sing songs and liven it up.

Now that I'm done singing, I should head home.

Wait.

I've been thinking a lot the past few days.

I shouldn't have said what I said. It was my fault. Can you forgive me?

No worries. I didn't take what you said to heart.

I hope you won't worry about it.

Where have you been? Why did you suddenly leave when you enjoyed watching the match?

Let's go home.

Have you never thought of me?

Sorry, there's something I need to do. I have to go now.

Why do you have to be so hard on yourself? You have no appetite thinking about Lord Sun every day. Now that you can see him,

- why do you–
- That's not true.

Miss, you can fool anyone but yourself.

Is it true what you said?

You fool, it's surely true.

Since you think about me all the time, why are you hiding it and making us both suffer?

Don't talk anymore.

It's a torture whenever I miss you.

Did you know that I've been soulless the past few days?

My soul is long gone.

At first, I could make a guqin to stop myself from missing you.

Since I've made the guqin, I have no more excuses for not missing you.

Please don't talk anymore.

If you would simply like to listen to songs,

I will serve you as usual. I have to go as there's something for me to do.

Wait for me. I'll go for sure.

Shijian, my husband saw how I played polo.

Yes, Young Mistress. You were impressive in the polo pitch.

It's game over. What does he think of me now?

I shouldn't have listened to Fourth Young Mistress. Other women are ladylike, but I'm always manly.

What if he gets angry and refuses to share the bed with me?

Young Mistress, don't think of it this way.

You couldn't hear it in the polo pitch, but I could hear it clearly outside.

Many men were fascinated by you.

You're making me embarrassed.

But why did he leave after I'd won?

Was it because he thought I didn't look like a woman with the narrow-sleeved robe on?

Shijian, get me the new dress.

Okay.

Eldest Young Master is back. Eldest Young Master. Yes, put this on first. Hurry.

Sleeves. Sleeves. Get ready.

Stop there.

- Eldest Young Master.
- Husband, I was going to put on some pretty clothes.

I didn't know you would be home so soon. That's why you caught me in an awkward position.

That's fine. Your outfit looks good too.

Didn't you find me very manly when I scored?

No.

Everyone praised you at the polo pitch today. I'm also proud of you.

Really?

Yuehong, I haven't treated you well over the years.

I always wanted to turn you into a lady, but I never noticed your strengths.

I must make a sincere apology to you.

I am sorry for many things that I've done to you.

I'll definitely treat you well from now on to make up for it.

Husband, are you okay? Do you have some serious illness?

I'm perfectly fine. Also, what I just said is true.

I'll treat you well from now on. I won't yell at you anymore.

Husband.

Fourth Young Mistress is right. I have to thank her for that.

Husband, what are you doing? You just mentioned treating me well, but now you're moving.

I've been waking up in the middle of the night the past few days. I haven't slept well.

Sleeping in the study room, I won't disturb you.

You don't need to. I'd be fine even without sleep for ten days. Look.

Yuehong, I want to treat you well, but are you not giving me a chance?

I just want you to sleep well.

- Really?
- Listen to me.

Shijian, come here.

- Young Mistress.
- Slap my face.

Slap my face.

I can't. Young Mistress, what are you doing?

Hurry.

Slap me harder!

Young Mistress. Young Mistress.

It hurts! I'm not dreaming.

Fourth Young Mistress is my savior

and a goddess who helps people in need and distress.

I have to treat Fourth Young Mistress well.

I'll kill whoever bullies Fourth Young Mistress.

Eldest Young Mistress, let me hold it for you. Be careful not to scald yourself.

That's fine. I need to blow it for my husband so he won't scald himself.

Where are you going with this outfit?

You look even more decent than you did when we got married.

Someone wants to make poems with me at Bronze Bird Park.

Make poems?

Why are you wearing such a glamorous outfit to make poems?

Because...

You look great today. Is there any joyous event going on?

Because...

Because of your soup.

Isn't it hot?

It's not. It's not.

Someone's waiting for me. I have to go now.

Husband. Husband.

Making poems. Aren't they just taking turns reciting poems?

I'll go too when I've mastered them!

Eldest Young Mistress, where is Eldest Young Master going in a rush?

Fourth Young Mistress, why are you here?

I was going to thank you.

He liked the soups you taught me how to make.

Recently he's been treating me well, talking to me gently and willing to get close to me.

Really? Congratulations!

I guess he's been in a better mood and had a better appetite.

But there's something strange.

What is it?

Since Master stopped him from working,

he's been busier than he was at work.

He goes out early and comes back late.

Whenever he goes out, he takes a bath and puts nice clothes on.

He says he's going to either make poems

or play chess and guqin.

He also says that he doesn't sleep well so he wants to sleep in the study room.

If it continues, Madam is going to say I have no control over him.

Shaochun, do you know how to make enchanted soup

so that he can spend a night with me?

Shaochun,

do you know how to make enchanted soup so that he can spend a night with me?

Why did you stop when you just heard the good news?

What's wrong?

Do you find Eldest Young Master really strange?

Strange? In what way?

Let me ask you. Under what circumstances will you take a bath before going out and put on different clothes every day?

Also, he's suddenly in a good mood and has a good appetite.

Sometimes he's absent-minded. He wants to go out all the time.

I was like this when I first fell in love with you.

Stop it. I'm being serious.

I am too.

When I missed you very much, I was like what you just said.

Men aren't like women. We usually don't care much.

But in order to see you, I cleaned up myself every time I went out to see you.

After I saw you, I was on cloud nine and had a good appetite.

What's strange about it?

Actually it's still the same now.

Alright. I'm talking about your eldest brother.

Your eldest brother has been like this lately.

Do you think he's fallen in love with someone outside?

If he's fallen in love with another woman,

he can inform Master and Madam and let her marry into our family as a concubine.

What's the point of hiding it?

Having a concubine is fine. The thing is, that lady may not like it.

She may want to be a mistress instead.

Miss.

Miss.

Does it look good?

I mean, does the house look good like this?

It does.

But... today isn't a holiday or a festival.

Why did you light candles throughout the house?

Why have you turned into an ordinary person?

Who says you can light candles only when it's a holiday or a festival?

Can't I light candles when there's something joyous at home?

You're right.

Am I beautiful?

You're the most beautiful lady I've ever seen.

Do you blame me for causing you to make such a huge mistake?

I still find myself too greedy.

I said we wouldn't see each other every day,

but now it's getting out of control.

Don't say that. It's I who committed a great sin

and did such a thing to you.

I'm to blame.

If I had to blame you for something, it would be the Dear John letter you wrote.

If you had really left,

I would've given up everything to look for you.

Would you be so heartless and destroy my life?

Why would I?

Then promise me not to go.

Once you promise me, you have to keep it.

I'll come and see you tomorrow.

He's very obsessed with you. As long as you act like a spoiled child,

you'll become Eldest Young Mistress of the Sun family soon.

It's not time yet.

Our family backgrounds are totally different.

If I want to marry into his family, I need to have a kid.

Wu Yuehong has never had any kids.

If I have a kid of the Sun family, his parents will definitely welcome me.

Even if they don't renounce Wu Yuehong,

we'll be at least on an equal footing.

Then things will get easier.

If I caused any trouble now, the family would only dislike me.

It'll be a waste of effort

- if he's just being impulsive.
- Exactly.

How thoughtful you are.

Why did I hire a silly maid like you? You ask about everything.

Let's go.

Senior.

What brought you here? Please have some tea.

Why are you doing this?

What do you mean? I don't understand.

Do you really not understand? He literally came out of your house. Why are you pretending?

Has Eldest Young Mistress ever offended you so you have to ruin their relationship?

I see what you mean now.

What you said is a bit of an exaggeration since there's nothing wrong between me and Eldest Young Mistress.

Besides, Eldest Young Master and I are madly in love. How am I ruining their relationship?

Both of us are under the same master. I also keep Master's teachings in mind.

Are you saying that Master's taught you to be a good person but I've become a bad person?

There's nothing to blame when two people fall in love with each other, but they can't hurt others.

You should advise Eldest Young Master to take his wife into account

and not cause any trouble because of you.

You're right. Why didn't I advise him?

Show my junior.

[To be opened by Sun Shijie]

I even wrote the Dear John letter, but Shijie persisted in making me stay. What else could I do?

Since you both love each other, I shouldn't interfere.

But if you want to marry into the Sun family, I'm afraid you'll have to get Madam's approval first.

Don't get me wrong. I've never thought of marrying into the Sun family. There is always conflict between mistresses and concubines.

If I marry into the Sun family, Madam will certainly consider me a thorn in her side. What's the point?

I may as well stay at Tingtao Villa.

I just hope that he can see me in his free time. That's all I'm asking for.

It'd be ideal if you were willing to be a concubine.

You know how nosy I am. I'll have someone find out everything about you.

If I find out something up your sleeve, I will do something.

I'll go now.

What's going on? You've been frowning the past few days.

Even your favorite rose cakes are just sitting there.

I'm thinking if I should love you if you had fallen in love with someone else before we met.

What should I do if you love someone else in a year or two?

Why are you asking such a silly question?

When something happens, you regret not having thought about it.

It'll be too late. I'm just getting myself prepared. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.

What should I do if you do have a soulmate that comes over tomorrow?

You're right. People can't control their feelings.

Look. These two rose cakes were a pair.

They hit it off and loved each other.

But now there's an osmanthus cake that squeezes in.

Look. Do they look out of place?

In my opinion, as long as these two rose cakes stick together, nothing can separate them.

But if the osmanthus cake can squeeze in, it's definitely because one of them is scared

and makes room. That's how someone else gets in.

I'm afraid of nothing.

But I am.

I'm afraid that you are hungry, upset

and suffering. I'm even more afraid that you'll fall in love with someone else.

Both of us need to be like these two rose cakes,

sticking together forever.

But your eldest brother and his wife can't be rose cakes.

- He likes the osmanthus cake. He's with my senior Tao Yao.
- Really?

I haven't told eldest sister-in-law. I'm afraid it'll infuriate her. I don't know what she'll do.

I believe the relationship between your eldest brother and Tao Yao is real.

If I separate them, I'll upset him. What should I do?

Do you know Tao Yao very well?

When I became a disciple of Master Liu, she'd already left Master and gone on an adventure.

It was my first time seeing her on Master's birthday celebration a few days ago.

Don't draw a conclusion yet. I'll have someone find out everything about her, then we'll make a decision.

How do you find out?

Maybe I'll ask Yao Dizhu a favor. Are you jealous?

Actually I've just thought this through. If you don't love me anymore, I won't love you back. Go ahead and contact her.

Give it to me.

Miss, hurry up and come up with some idea.

If she does find out what we've done before and tell Young Master Sun,

- then all our effort will go to waste.
- There's nothing to worry about.

- She has ideas, so do I.
- Miss, have you come up with any?

I have everything lined up.

I almost forgot something.

Get me the dagger now.

Miss, what are you doing?

Hurry up and wipe the bloodstain off the floor.

Tao, Tao!

- Tao.
- Shijie.

I had butterflies in my stomach when I was at the administrative office. I was worried that you'd been gone.

I've made a promise that I won't go, so I keep it for sure.

Why are you so sweaty from running?

You must be tired after working all day. I've made you Green Plum Soup and Job's Tear Sweet Soup.

Hurry. Take a seat here.

- What happened to your hand?
- I'm fine. I cut myself when I was making soup.

Take a seat. I'll get you the soup.

Miss.

I miss you very much every time you leave.

Alright. You should go home now.
