Episode 14

[Jin Residence]

Ruyi.

Ruyi!

Who are you?

I am...

- Ruyi. - Brother Hanwen.

What are you doing here?

I heard you haven't been to Jishi Hall in a while. I was worried and came by to check on you.

Are you all right?

No need for you to worry.

Exactly, no need to worry.

Ruyi is doing great. I treat her quite well.

Didn't I tell you to go buy things, why are you so slow?

You want to starve me to death?

I bought it. I bought it. Ruyi, don't get mad.

What is this garbage? It smells terrible.

Do you even know how to choose?

Ruyi, I was wrong. Don't be angry.

Ruyi, who is that?

He is Wang Daoling.

There's someone to accompany me even if Brother Hanwen doesn't.

Daoling regards me as a treasure.

Unlike some people, whose eye has no lens.

This is good, too. I can stop worrying then.

On the 8th of next month, Suzhen and I are getting married.

If you have time, why don't you and he come to the wedding banquet?

When Daoling and I are getting married, I hope you can come to our wedding, too.

Ruyi, what did you say?

Daoling is also a physician and his skills are not far from yours.

I plan to hand over Jishi Hall to him to manage.

This is good, too.

I'll hand over the accounting book some other day then.

Someday, I'll also resign from Jishi Hall.

What are you saying? You want to draw a line between us?

Is it that Bai Suzhen won't let you have anything to do with me?

How can you say that about her?

She's eager to help you, and I'm the ungrateful one.

She's using such seductive tricks. I admit my defeat!

Ruyi, you can say anything about me, but Suzhen is my future wife.

I hope you can respect her. I-

Whether you come or not, it's up to you.

Ruyi!

Ruyi, don't be angry. We don't have to go to his wedding.

- Don't touch me! - Ruyi!

How can he treat you like this? I'm going to kill him!

Wait!

You can't hurt Brother Hanwen.

- But... - There is no but.

He is just being confused for a bit. He'll understand me sooner or later.

Those things I said earlier were just to upset him. Don't take it to heart.

Ruyi, you had no intention of marrying me?

You, a toad, actually wants to eat swan meat and chase what's out of your class?

You should go look in the mirror. You are nothing compared to Brother Hanwen.

Ruyi! Since you don't like this snack, I'll go buy something else!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

First, bow to Heaven and Earth!

Good! Good! Good!

Second, bow to the parents!

Good! Good! Good!

- Good! - Good!

Husband and wife bow to one another!

- Good! - Good!

Very well suited for each other. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful.

Be together for a hundred years.

- That's right. - Very good!

Great! Great!

Why are you standing foolishly there staring at me?

The more you love, the deeper the feeling is. I fear if I don't see you,

I won't be able to see you anymore.

What foolish talk are you talking about? How can I disappear?

My Lady, am I dreaming?

I am afraid if I wake up,

all of these things will become my imagination.

Are you awake from your dream?

My Lady, do you know?

Many times in my dreams,

I dreamed of marrying you.

I would never have thought

that you are even more beautiful than you were in my dreams.

You are such a sweet talker.

What is marriage?

Say something Da Qian?

I don't know. I've never been married.

I know! Marriage is two people who live together in one den.

Then does that mean we are considered married already?

Ah Luo, you are such a fool.

Only a man and a woman can get married.

If it's fun, why don't we also get married?

Marriage is two people going down the same path.

It is like when a flying bird finds a nest,

and when an ocean fish finds an island.

The heart will also have a place to depend on.

Henceforward, you don't fear the passing of time nor do you fear loneliness.

I'm so happy.

It's been a long time since I looked at the moon like this.

My Lady, I, Xu Xian, give you a toast.

I have no regrets being able to be together with you.

My wish is the same as yours.

In this life, hand-in-hand, we will grow old together.

In life and death, never part even after our hair turns grey.

Teacher, what is wrong?

Did you use up too much energy to help me capture that fox demon last time?

Since we are bound down by our bodies of flesh,

growing old and dying from disease is normal. There's no need to worry.

Did you have a realization after your trip to Lin'an this time?

I doubt something. That thousand-year-old snake demon, to unite with that mortal,

gave her thousand-year-old spirit core to him to counter her snake poison.

I wonder if a demon without a spirit core is still a demon.

Is a human who received a spirit core still a human?

Is a flower you see through a mirror still a flower?

Is the moon reflected in the water still a moon?

Fa Hai, you need to discern the difference between demons and humans with your heart.

Put it over there. Put this over here.

Okay!

Come here!

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Stop!

Xiao Qing, what are you doing?

You are breaking the tables and burning them, too.

- My table... - It's over there.

Why is my table over here?

My sister said that this table was too old so she chopped it up to use as firewood.

She chopped it up to use as firewood?

Right. I also let Da Qian order a new table.

A Phoebe zhennan table.

- A Phoebe zhennan one? - Yes.

- How much was it? - 300 taels.

Three- It's more than 300 taels.

Isn't it extremely cheap?

Let me tell you. Your house has way too many old and broken things.

In the future, just burn all the ones you can burn. Throw away all the things you can't burn.

- That's right. - Once we finish organizing, won't it be super spacious and super clean?

Suzhen, where did you get so much money?

Yesterday, My Lord gave me his savings. I saw that there were a few dozens taels.

It should be enough for the deposit for this new furniture.

Xiao Qing and I discussed it with them.

Once we finish all this, we'll give the rest of the money to them.

Deposit?

Go, go, go. Quickly.

- Bad luck child. - Get the deposit back.

Don't. Don't take it apart anymore.

Don't take it apart.

Here it is.

You only took back this much?

Even this is a small amount? The shopkeeper said

he shouldn't give us the deposit back. If Hanwen didn't know enough about the Song dynasty law,

we wouldn't have got even this money back.

We've lost so many things this morning.

They only bought those things you don't use often.

Sister, Suzhen comes from a wealthy family.

She isn't used to the lifestyle of commoners like us.

She especially bought this for you. Just take it.

Keep it. This is the gesture from our sister-in-law. Think about it.

When you joined our family, you didn't need to fend for yourself.

Hanwen, do you remember?

When you were little, I said to your sister,

"Go buy me some chives," and your sister bought green onions.

Okay, My Lady, let's stop nitpicking.

Let's just accept Sister-in-Law's gesture.

Am I the type to nitpick?

I did that for you guys, okay?

Besides, I was also once the young mistress of a wealthy family.

Now I don't buy jewelry nor listen to pingtan (T/N: storytelling and ballad singing).

Isn't it all for you guys?

Sister, stop being angry.

I know you've worried your heart to pieces for taking care of our family.

But now it is time to enjoy bliss.

From now on, Suzhen and I will take care of matters for the family.

For whatever Suzhen doesn't know, she'll ask you for help.

With a teacher as great as you,

our family will definitely become even better.

- Does it look good? - It looks good.

These things humans use are really so interesting.

Before, I'd always seen them use them but I'd never learned to use it.

You probably didn't want to learn, right?

You can take care of what to eat and do each day with magic.

That's right. I can freely go in and out of the treasury. Money? I can have as much as I want!

That won't do.

Since we came to the mortal realm, we have to abide by its rules. We can't spend money from unknown origins.

I know, Sister.

But today, when I went to buy groceries with Sister Xu, I felt that being a human was really interesting.

As for money, if it came too easily, then it won't be as interesting.

Look at this accounting book. He works so hard each month and only earns 2 taels of silver.

These two taels of silver can only be exchanged for 770 coins.

After My Lord has been working hard for a month, it's only enough for 200 bundles of vegetables weighing 3 taels.

It's not even enough for me to swallow in one bite.

Why are humans so pitiful?

My Lord has come back.

- My Lord. - My Lady.

Was it not busy today at Jishi Hall? Why did you come back so early?

Today, there weren't that many patients so I came back early.

Oh right, My Lady. This is the pay for this month. Keep it well.

- My Lady, I have something to tell you. - Go ahead and say it.

Sister, let's go shopping today.

It just happens that Official Xu was paid today.

Let's go see if there's anything interesting.

Xiao Qing, he just got paid and you want to spend it all?

I taught you for nothing today.

This money was earned so it can be spent.

Don't just stay in the house all day. If you have nothing to do, go outside and walk around.

If you like something, go buy it.

Exactly.

- Keep pampering her. - Official Xu is pampering you, okay?

You're still laughing at me?

Oh right, you said earlier that you had something to tell me. After she cut in, I forgot about it.

Actually, it's not much. It's just that I suddenly remembered

today, the physician on duty is sick.

I still have to go to Jishi Hall. You don't have to wait for me for dinner.

Oh right, the other thing was about the Jishi Hall salary.

It will be paid 2 times a month, one tael of silver each time.

I'll give you the rest at the end of the month.

Then I'll go now.

Why did Official Xu suddenly leave? Why is he suddenly on duty?

It's so hard for him.

Oh no! He left so quickly that I forgot to prepare a box of food for his dinner.

Xiao Qing, let's go prepare and send it to Jishi Hall.

Okay.

Get up.

Useless. Now that Brother Hanwen is gone, there aren't any patients anymore.

Are you even a physician?

Ruyi, come and sit.

Don't fret. Once I've cured a patient or two,

the reputation will come. Once the reputation comes, the business will come.

I'll go to work then.

Why did you guys come? Are you sick?

I spit on it. You are the one who's sick instead.

My sister came to deliver Official Xu's dinner.

Xu Xian was already fired by Jishi Hall. You two didn't know?

He isn't a physician at Jishi Hall anymore?

I paid him off.

He no longer has anything to do with Jishi Hall.

If you two aren't sick, quickly leave. We don't welcome you here.

Seriously, Official Xu.

You lost your job and didn't even tell us; making us take a trip there for nothing.

For him to become like this with Ruyi is also largely because of me. He likely didn't tell me because he was afraid I would worry.

It's also hard for him to pretend that nothing happened in front of me.

I wonder where he is now.

Sister, is that Official Xu?

Let's go.

[Hundred Physicians]

Physician Xu, your skills are outstanding. The entire Lin'an city knows this.

However, we still cannot use you.

I won't pressure you. You don't need to feel guilty.

However, I still have something to request.

Do you want to ask why none of the clinics in Lin'an city are taking you in?

Yes. I can take a lower monthly salary.

Physician Xu, to be honest,

a rumor spread from Jishi Hall that you studied 7 years at Jishi Hall,

obtained Master Jin's handed down techniques, acted in bad faith,

and didn't keep your words to marry Miss Jin.

Shopkeeper Zhang, it is not as the rumors say.

I know the way you conduct yourself.

However, Jishi Hall is now

supported solely by Ruyi, a lone girl.

If we were to use you, that would be to mistreat an orphan.

I will be criticized by the industry.

So, it is like this.

Then, thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang.

That Jin Ruyi used such a cruel method to get back at Official Xu?

This is too much.

I have to go teach her a lesson.

Ruyi and My Lord have been friends since they were young. Although Ruyi goes against him,

he doesn't want Ruyi to suffer.

Then, we just have to leave it at that?

After marrying a human, you have to worry about this and that. It's so annoying.

You spoke very well earlier.

President, Xu Xian's medical skills are outstanding.

Why can we not use him?

Although Xu Xian's medical skills are outstanding,

he behaves arrogantly. He is difficult to control.

I have already spoken to all of the clinics in Lin'an.

I wan to let him run into a brick wall, demoralize and humiliate him.

You can't use your spell.

What?

Once he reaches a dead end,

I will then bestow favors upon him, admit him into the Three Royal Originator Association.

He will then definitely be deeply grateful

and be utilized by me.

You-

A mosquito.

- Walk slowly. - I want to buy a mask!

The shop in the front has really delicious steamed buns.

Mother will buy steamed buns for you.

Here, customer, this is for you. Enjoy it while it's hot.

My Lady? Why are you here?

I was going to send dinner to you at Jishi Hall but...

My Lady, sorry. I should not have kept it from you.

This is nothing. Lin'an is so much more prosperous than Central Shu, yet I have not had the chance to walk around and see it yet.

Now, I can walk around and take a look.

Then, I will accompany you and walk around. If you see anything you like, tell me.

Let us go.

- Thank you. - This one is so pretty.

My Lady, is there anything you want to eat?

No.

This is so interesting.

Is there anything you like?

No. None of these suit me. Let's go.

Come, customers. Please enjoy.

Okay.

It smells really good.

My Lady, I think I left my wallet at the Perfect Treasures Pavilion.

- Then let's go back to look for it. - No, no, no! I can look for it myself.

My Lady, you have been busy all day. You don't need to help me with this kind of work.

I am not tired. Besides, I saw so many interesting things today.

It really opened my eyes.

Then, why did you not buy anything if you saw so many things you liked?

They are just material possessions. I do not need to own them.

My Lady, you were originally from a wealthy family.

I have dragged you down.

It's easy to ask for a treasure, but it's hard to have a lover.

To have you as my husband, I wouldn't exchange it even for thousands of silver.

Are you done drawing?

Not yet.

My Lady, I finished drawing.

You finished drawing? Let me see.

I must keep this painting well.

Then, My Lady, please put it in this box.

Okay.

What is this?

This-

You treat me so well.

To me, you also can't be replaced by money.

This hairpin is only worth a few taels of silver.

Gifting it to you

is already making you suffer.

My Lady, don't dislike me for being frugal.

Sister, you've already been looking at this hairpin for an hour.

Isn't it just a hairpin?

This hairpin cost My Lord almost five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver? So expensive?

Sister, how many days have you married that the only thing you talk about is money?

I didn't even want to look at this in the past.

The money is not important. What's important is the gesture.

He has not been able to find a job, yet he wants to do everything he can to make me smile.

This thought is what is most precious.

I really can not stand watching you two being so sickeningly romantic every day.

I think that it's better to be alone, free and independent.

Xiao Qing, once you meet the person meant for you, you won't say this anymore.

I don't want that. I don't want to be like you and Official Xu every day saying,

"My Lady." "My Lord."

I don't even need ice in the middle of summer.

Xiao Qing, you're laughing at me. Right?

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Stop fooling around.

Sister Xu got this vase with a large sum of money. We mustn't break it.

What? It was broken originally. Look at it. It's cracked.

You say, why are humans so odd? The older something gets, the more they treasure it.

Then if I fish some old trash out of the West Lake, wouldn't the value be worth thousands?

You're right. I know how to help him now.

I exerted much effort using illusion spells to make them look new, why did you change them back to looking old?

New things aren't worth money. Didn't you say that earlier?

In the eyes of humans, these antiques are the most precious.

People value old objects rather than new. I find this very touching.

Then, wouldn't I have a lot of meat to eat in the future?

You can eat as much as you want.

Physician Xu, you have seen the situation in this shop. [Huichun Hall]

I'm really sorry about this.

Otherwise, why don't you take a look somewhere else?

I won't send you off.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

Ruyi?

I thought someone was enjoying a newlywed life, flushed with happiness.

I didn't expect that each day was worse than the previous day.

Ruyi, I know that you blame me and wish that I don't live well.

But I hope that you live well. Only if you put down your hatred,

you will be at ease and be able to start a new life.

If you didn't marry that Bai Suzhen, would you have fallen to this?

You don't regret at all?

To be able to be together with Suzhen is the most joyful thing to happen in my life.

Even if I have to be poor for the rest of my life, I am still willing.

Hence, you are willing to be poor and be laughed at by others,

and relying on your wife selling her family assets to get by?

What do you mean?

That Bai Suzhen takes her maid with her

and is selling the antiques in the Bai Manor. Do you know what people are saying about you?

They say that you are so lucky to marry a young mistress who lets you sponge off her.

Bai Suzhen, you will never understand Brother Hanwen as well as me.

He may be in dire straits but he's stronger than anyone.

After ruining his reputation like this, I'll see how you save yourself.

It's good that we have this money now.

This shopkeeper knows his stuff.

Okay, let's go back now.

My Lord, why did you come?

Come here.

Where are we going?

How many things have you sold? We'll get them all back.

Why do we have to get them back?

No matter how incapable I am, I can't use the money exchanged from my wife selling her family's assets.

It's only for an emergency. What is mine is yours.

Since we are husband and wife, why care about these things?

I am already incapable of making you suffer with me.

How could I still use your family's money? Let's go.

I'm not going.

Hey! My money!

What is with Official Xu? Why is he so angry?

He doesn't want to spend my money.

Why?

In his heart, he is him and I am me.

He doesn't see us as a unit at all.

Sister! Official Xu!

They were so sweet with each other yesterday. Why is there a complete turnaround today?

Since you don't want my silver, why should I keep your present?

They say the West Lake is beautiful.

I've never taken a boat ride on the West Lake.

You can't see anyway.

It's really expensive to take a boat ride.

So what if I can't see?

I don't have much time to live.

I just want to take a boat ride on the West Lake and feel the breeze.

Can't I?

Take it. I have some money.

Okay, okay, okay.

If it makes you happy.

Be careful, be careful!

Miss, are you coming on board as well?

My boat can take four people.

Wait a minute!

I want to take a tour of the West Lake with my wife, too.

It's raining.

My dear, our luck isn't so bad.

We get to see two different sceneries with just one boat fare.

Look outside. The clouds linger all around.

It looks just like the place where the immortals live.

You say it like you've seen the place where the immortals live.

How nice it is!

- Here. - Old Man. Old Lady. You both have a good relationship.

We've been together for decades.

I became blind in my youth.

He is my eyes.

We've wanted to ride a boat on the West Lake for a while now.

But we were afraid of the expense.

My wife made this an important goal.

Using the excuse that she doesn't eat in the afternoons,

she saved her food money to spare this expense for me.

And yet she says that she's the one who wants to ride the boat.

Old Man, you knew it?

Of course. You know my thoughts.

Wouldn't I be able to figure out yours?

My Lady, I'm sorry.

I was too impatient.

I never once thought of separating from you.

It's just that my heart aches for you.

I don't want you to sacrifice too much for me.

Truthfully, I wasn't mad at you at all.

I was mad at myself for making you suffer with me.

So that's why you followed me?

You noticed?

I worried about you being alone.

If I followed you,

you would get mad at me.

Then, you could have followed me from a distance. Why did you come on board?

If I followed you from a distance,

how would I know if you were angry or not?

Of course, I'm angry. You were so fierce before.

Did you two have a squabble?

Don't worry.

Look at the lake. Rain and sunshine

are all part of the scenery.

Happiness, smiles, anger, and scoldings

indicate true love between a married couple.

The rain has let up.

Has your heart also let up?

Boss, this won't do.

Why not? Xu Xian doesn't allow us to pawn anything. We need to find ways to make money.

You don't know that I've been eating vegetables at the Xu home every day.

If I don't earn money to buy some good food,

I'm going to turn from a green snake into a green vegetable.

But Boss, Miss Bai already said

we are not allowed to obtain money using illegitimate ways.

- That's right. - How is this not legitimate?

I saw someone busking on the street before.

And it's pretty interesting.

I'm also much better looking than them. What are you afraid of?

All right. Come, come. Come closer.

In a little while, make sure you put on a good act with me.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Come, come, come!

Come, come!

Come!

Hello, everyone. I've just arrived at this treasure land of Lin'an.

I will show my rough skills.

My fellow brothers, some are lame, blind and mute.

I was extremely poor.

I really couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, I know some showy martial arts.

I can show you some moves. Everybody, if you have money, donate some.

Those who don't have money, give some applause.

- Thank you, everyone! - That's great!

Come, come, come!

All right, all right. It's your turn.

- It's here. - I will show my rough skills.

Uncle Gui, what are you doing here?

I was passing by.

Aren't you going to the Li's house? We are going the same way.

Uncle Gui, the Li's house is not in this direction.

They're fixing the road. Let's take another route.

Fixing the road? Wasn't it fine this morning?

Uncle Gui, is there something you're hiding from us?

Nothing. It's really nothing.

Ruyi, if you don't like those products from overseas, it's okay.

Let's check out the old shops in Lin'an

and find a skilled craftsman to custom order you a bracelet or hairpin.

With that money of yours, how can you afford an expensive gemstone?

Customized item? I feel bad wearing it.

If you have the money, please donate.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

Cheat! She's a cheat!

Don't be tricked.

Stop spouting nonsense. We relied on our skills to earn money.

There's no such thing.

Everyone, you may not know.

She treated a patient and he died and implicated

Jishi Hall. She's Bai Suzhen's younger sister.

No, no.

Jishi Hall has already chased them out.

Now that you're left to idle, you're here to swindle and bluff people.

Do not let them fool you.

No, no. Don't believe her.

- Who threw that? - He spoke! He's not dumb! Hit him!

Look! He's talking! They're liars!

- Sorry, excuse me. Excuse me. - Let me explain!

Xiao Qing?
