It's nothing at all

But lady,

you can't fool me

I can guess what you think

Go ahead and guess

Milady!

You must be under a spell

the spell of Mr. Pien

It's the spell of the painting seller

That's nonsense

Don't be angry, milady

I know you're thinking of him

But you just won't say it

You...

Don't lie!

Have I guessed right?

When a girl grows up she should marry

You don't have to pretend

If you go on I'll kill you

Your future depends on! me

You can't kill the match-maker

You don't thank me but scold me

We'll forget it then

I want him...

What?

Mother-in-law

and you call me... -What?

Grandma

Milady, Madam wants you

Why didn't she tell me she is back

She forgot about the fortune teller

She forgot about the fortune teller

She's a big girl, Don't worry

She's a big girl, Don't worry

I'm not being a nuisance

but Yuet-ying is all we have

I'm worried about her future

I'm worried about her future

In fact she is so dear to me, that

I hate to see her married off

That's right!

I'd like a son-in-law to live here

So we won't feel too lonely

If they can have a child

it will continue our line

But marriage can't be forced

So I sent her to the fortune-teller

Just to see when

her Marriage star shines

Madam!

Milady's marriage star is shining

Just look at this

Chun-lan

The star shines, you meet someone good

Chun-lan! What was he like?

Speak up

Milady asked him to compose a poem

Compose a poem?

He wrote it on her kerchief

I sympathize with Mr. Pien

I must speak to him personally

and judge his character and education

If he is good I have plans for him

If he is good I have plans for him

That's wonderful

We haven't paid him yet

We said we'll pay him tomorrow

Since you want to see him

Ask him to invite Mr. Pien here

Besides, I'm not married

I can enjoy myself outside

I say you're not

When we came up for?

What did you promise?

You've already forgotten, have you?

I haven't forgotten it

Repeat it

Kill corrupt officials and rob the evil

I would never dare to lie

He was never interested in art

Why should he suddenly buy one?

But how can I lie to you

You all won't believe. Look at this!

You don't believe what I said

The couplet is not bad

I don't understand. That poem is good!

With drawn sword I sigh

The time is wrong, I die!

Think of something, sir

He is a bad person

It is all Liu Fu's fault

What?

You got us into trouble

I'm so sorry. I am old and muddled up

I weren't asked you your name yet

You'll have to know sooner or later

Your son-in-law is

known to everybody around here

as Chou Tung, the Hsiao Pa Huang

Don't be afraid

My sturdy arms are at your service

If anyone takes advantage of you

I will teach him a lesson

Mr. Chou.

There is a misunderstanding

I wanted a verse written

I wanted a verse written

1 sent Ya-fu to the bridge

to invite Mr. Pien here,

but the blind fool asked you

but the blind fool asked you

I'm very sorry. My apologies

You wanted Mr. Pien

There has been a mistake

But you wanted a son-in-law

That's why I am here

My daughter is still young

It is too early for marriage

Too young!

Nonsense!

I saw her at the temple

Don't try to pretend

I kowtowed to you and you accepted

You must agree to the marriage

If you dare oppose me

I will show you!

Mr. Chou

Milady

Yuet-ying

Milady

Give her a rub between the nose and upper lip

Yuet-ying

If anything happens to you

how can I go on livings

Yuet-ying!

Milady is conscious now

Oh gracious Buddha!

Yuet-ying!

Ma!

You idiot! Report to the authorities

Liu Fu! Prepare my sedan chair

Sit in the chairs

The sedan chair! You idiots

Oh! Life is so cruel to me

Milady! Tears won't do any good

We must think of something

But what can I think of now?

Your mother will know what to do

She won't let him take you away

She won't let him take you away

That may be, but this is so sudden

That may be, but this is so sudden

My father can only report it

My father can only report it

Chou Tung is a powerful man

What if he does kidnap me?

Milady! Heaven helps the fortunate

Remember what your fortune said

Remember what your fortune said

The path of love is not smooth

The path of love is not smooth

After this it will be smooth

But how can I live pass this?

Don't cry, I'll find a way

I've got it, Milady!

Disguise ourselves as men and run away

Disguise ourselves as men and run away

How? I seldom even go out

How? I seldom even go out

I don't know of any place

Where will I run away to?

Besides Chou Tung won't give up

Besides Chou Tung won't give up

He'll take it out on my parents

Let me kill myself instead

Milady! Don't think of such things

Don't stop me!

Let me die!

Milady! Listen to me

We must die for a purpose

It's not worth it, doing this way

This started with Mr. Pien

Because of him you get into trouble

He doesn't even know about it

He tied the knot, he should untangle it

We should ask him to solve it

We should ask him to solve it

But what can I do?

You've got to think of something

Because of you, she is in trouble

Because of you, she is in trouble

Trying to shirk your responsibility?

Please don't shout, Miss!

Let me think...

Erh...

Erh. What? When you think of something

Erh. What? When you think of something

milady would be kid-napped

How can you be so calm

Don't be hasty! Haste breeds waste!

Stop talking and come with me

Discuss it with milady

But how can I do that?

And why not?

I mean how...It's different with man and woman

I can't walk into a lady's boudoir

That's against ethics

Who cares about ethics now

Who cares about ethics now

Come with me

Lady

Hurry!

But I can't go

But this is bad

But this is bad

What's bad? Come on!

We can talk here

I'll wait for you here

Stop arguing and come with me!

Miss Chun-lan!...but...I can't

Please let me go back!

What do you mean by can't!

Come on

How could you say so?

Milady! Mr.Pien is here

Mr. Pien. Please sit down

But Miss Chun-lan! It's not nice

But Miss Chun-lan! It's not nice

I'll wait outside

You can't leave here!

Bringing you here hasn't been easy!

Sit down!

Milady!

Mr. Pien is here

Don't hide!

Come out and meet him!

Please let me go. If it is found out

I'd be branded as immoral

Ah! I'm worried to death

Mr. Pien! You can't go!

Mr. Pien! It was because of you

Mr. Pien! It was because of you

that Milady is in trouble now

If Chou Tung kidnaps her

If Chou Tung kidnaps her

she will kill herself

You'll be responsible for her death

You'll be responsible for her death

Will you stand by and let her die?

Wan Chi-liang won Meng Chiang-nu's heart

Wan Chi-liang won Meng Chiang-nu's heart

by just a glimpse of her arm

Today you're in milady's boudoir

Today you're in milady's boudoir

Mr. Pien

What do you think of that?

If you understand what I mean

If you understand what I mean

You'll think of something

C'mon now, don't hesitate

Or you'll regret it afterwards

You two must understand now

You two must understand now

Here I'm worried to death

I know now! With me around

you can't talk freely, right?

you can't talk freely, right?

I'll leave. This is your affair

I'll leave. This is your affair

Chen-lan! Don't go!

Miss Chun-lan!... You can't leave?

Open for the son-in-law

Open up!

Chun-lan!

Madam! What is it?

The bandits are at the gate!

The bandits are at the gate!

The squire is not back yet

I'll pack a few things

Ask Yuet-ying to hide with me

Ask Yuet-ying to hide with me

One is silent and in thought

the other sits with head bowed

Well. The bandits are here!

The bandits are here

What will we do?

I told you to think of something

But you won't listen to me

You studied so much

Why can't you think of something?

But... but what can I think of?

Erh...But...

This... what have I been called to do?

I'm very sorry

It all started because of me

I can only die now

to be worthy of your attention

It's not your fault but my fate

I brought you into it.

Let me die

No! Let me die instead

No! Let me die

No! Let me die

I want to die!

I'll die

What's all this about dying?

When the bandits get in, we'll all die

When the bandits get in, we'll all die

When the bandits get in, we'll all die

Nobody knows what to do?

But I know. Milady!

Come with me

Where to?

I want to say something to Mr. Pien

Hurry up then

You were frightened because of me

I am most grateful to you

I can't be shy now

If you want me, I am yours for life

If you want me, I am yours for life

I am most fortunate

I will die for you

I will die for you

My mind is troubled now

I can't think of anything to give you

This kerchief is embroidered by me

You wrote the poem.

Keep it

Chun-lan! What's holding you up?

Hurry! Milady!

Where is your master?

I really don't know

Where is your lady?

She is in her room

Wait here.

Don't scare my love

Yes

What will we do now?

Don't get excited

Don't you have a plan?

Yes. Let me thinks

I can't even kill a hen

If I have to fight the bandits

how will I be able to do it?

I've got it! I have a plan

Tell everybody to wait outside

Miss Liu! I'm here!

Miss Liu my love! I'm here

Where's my bride? Don't be shy!

My bride! I'm here

The bride is here. Come down!

My bride! We're home.

I'll carry you

Wait!

You're impossible!

When did you get back?

Just came back.

Where did you get her?

This is all very legal

If you don't believe just ask them

Chou Tsai! I ask you...

where have you kidnapped that girl?

Speak up

No need to do that

This has all been very straightforward

She is willing

But I'm not...

I'm not willing

Please release me

Carry the sedan chair to the back

Did you hear me? Go on!

Yes

What do you mean by that?

Carry it to the back

Sister!

She is unwilling.

You can't force her

I'll keep her an my room

I'll reason with her,

if she changes her mind, you can marry her

if she changes her mind, you can marry her

But if she refuses

I must take charge of this

But sister!...

You know my temper

No one can come in

No one can come in

If I catch anyone near, he'll be sorry

Milady!

Why can't you change?

It's late! Go to sleep

But I don't like his behavior

What we said in the courtyard

You must have heard it all

Don't worry! If you like him

Don't worry! If you like him

I'll let you marry him right away

Don't you trust me?

No! It's not that!

Come on! Take off your clothes

I can't! I can't!

How can you sleep with them on?

Come on ...Take it off...

I can't take them off

You're stubborn.

Forget it then

I want to sleep even if you don't

You aren't smart

Even if you get out of this room

How can you leave this placed

Aren't you afraid of my brother?

Spend a night quietly here

You are safe with me

Take off your clothes and sleep

You had a gentle upbringing

You need maids to help you

I'll help you take them off

Where are you going!

You can't go out

You...

Obey me or I won't be nice

Obey me or I won't be nice

How can you wear your shoes to bed

You...

I...!

You!...Are you going to sleep?

Come...sleep!

You're a man!...

How dare you?

Speak up! Who are you?

I...!

Speak up!

Everything I said is true

I swear I have not lied

Why didn't you tell me before?

I'm a scholar and I know ethics

I'm a scholar and I know ethics

But I had no choice, forgive me

But I had no choice, forgive me

It's not all your fault

But for brother this won't have happened

But for brother this won't have happened

But idle tongues are dangerous

It'll be bad if this gets out

If my brother finds out

you won't got away

Please help me

Let me out of here

I can easily let you leave

but brother can still find you

but brother can still find you

So...

The best thing is to leave this area

Leave Peach Blossom Villa?

What if he goes after Miss Liu again?

What if he goes after Miss Liu again?

Don't worry! I can handle him

Don't worry! I can handle him

But I'm surprised at you

For love you won't think of your future

For love you won't think of your future

Why don't you go for the exams?

Why don't you go for the exams?

I fell sick in this place

I fell sick in this place

I used all the money I brought along

In that case wait a while

In that case wait a while

Take these 50 taels of silver

Take these 50 taels of silver

But how can I do that?

But how can I do that?

It is my own savings

How can I ever repay you for it?

How can I ever repay you for it?

Succeed in your examinations

Then you have repaid me

Say no more. Go now

Thank you

Wait!

My brother must be still awake

Come with me

Miss Liu won't know I'll gone

Miss Liu won't know I've gone

I can't send her a message

I mean... is there a way out?

I may not know Miss Liu

But I may meet her one day

But without any proof

even I can meet her

she won't believe me

She gave me this

Please keep it

If you have chance,

tell her that if I succeed

I'll come back to marry her

I know that

I am grateful for your help

I will never forget it

See you later!

Open up! Open up!

Who do you want?

Is your master here?

Our master!... Master!

Masters

Mr. Chou!

What is it?

The magistrate wants to see you

The magistrate wants to see you

You came on my happy day

You came on my happy day

I must give you a drink

You are wanted right away

What do you mean by that?

This is the magistrate's order

I have treated you well

But you won't give me face today

I'm sorry! This is our duty

Move!

What is this coming to!

How can you take him to her room?

How can you take him to her room?

What will happen if this gets out

What will happen if this gets out

It's no use regretting now

If it weren't for Mr. Pien

Chou Tung would have got Yuet-ying

then it would have been terrible

The problem is not solved yet!

When Chou Tung finds out she is a man!

It's all over

We had no other plan

It was an emergency

You've killed Mr. Pien

If anything happens to him,

If anything happens to him,

I'll...

Don't think of that, my child

If this ever gets out

If this ever gets out

your father will lose face

We must try to save Mr. Pien

We must try to save Mr. Pien

We can only ask the magistrates to help

We can only ask the magistrates to help

Why don't you go then?

I don't need your advice

I had already spoken to him

He has agreed

He has sent men out now

You are responsible for his arrest

You were supposed to look after him

But I've tried to dissuade him

But I've tried to dissuade him

What can I do if he won't listen to me?

Stop lying! You think I don't know

It was all your idea

It was all your idea

Madam

You must think of something

to save master

He brought it on himself

Let him suffer a little first

You know, miss

that master is reckless

For the sake of his dead father

you must try to save him

Bride-napping is a small matter

but the Black Forest affair is not

If it is found out, he is in trouble

Go up the mountains tomorrow

Send a gift to chieftain Li

Ask him to help

Yes

Open up! Open up!

Why are they here late at night?

Go and answer the door

What if the Lius are here now

What shall we do?

Never mind! I'm on my way there

I want to see what Miss Liu is like

I want to see what Miss Liu is like

I'll pass her Mr. Pien's message

I'll pass her Mr. Pien's message

I'll pass her Mr. Pien's message

Open up!

You arrested master!

Who do you want?

None of your business

Miss!

Who do you want?

We want Miss Liu

I'm Miss Liu

Miss

Good! We have orders

to escort you home

Good! I'll go with you

Okay

But miss!

Your lady is back

Your lady is back

Thank you! Thank you!

This is for you from the squire

This is for you from the squire

Thank you

You are welcome!

Come in for a cup of tea

No, thank you.

We have work to do

Bye!

Please come down, Mr. Pien

Please come down, Mr. Pien

Don't worry! This is the Liu residence

The squire had you rescued

He is waiting for you. Come out

Is Mr. Pien backs

I think so.

Master! Mr. Pien is back

Bring him right away

He refused to come down

Is that so?

Mr. Pien is a scholar

He is in woman's dress

It's so embarrassing!

I have brought his clothes

Ask Liu Fu to take them to him

He will come down then

Right! Take the clothes to him

Let him change first

Let him change first

Yes

I'll tell milady

Milady!...Mr. Pien is back

Mr. Pien is back

Well...!

God! You're so scared!

Please come in

Please sit down. Liu Fu! Bring tea

Yes

Be seated!

After you, sir

Because of you our daughter is safe

We are very grateful to you

It was nothing

You disguised yourself as a girl

It was a magnificent gesture

It was a magnificent gesture

I admire you for it

Thank you, sir

May I ask if you are married?

May I ask if you are married?

I am betrothed

But I am not married yet

I want to give you my daughter's hand

I want to give you my daughter's hand

are you willing to accept?

But...how can...

You were in her room

You can't back out now

But...I...

Are you in any difficulties?

I have no future and am poor

You are being modest

Don't said so!

I don't despise the poor

You will have a bright future

You will have a bright future

The marriage is settled then

I have a request

Can I see her now

You've done it once, but not again

But what's wrong with that?

A woman and a woman...

What's wrong with that?

What a woman with a woman...

No! A man with a woman is wrong at that

No! A man with a woman is wrong at that

I want the marriage immediately

Tomorrow is a propitious day

The ceremony will be tomorrow

So that nothing untoward happens

You must be tired and need rest

You'll sleep in the study tonight

Liu Fu!

Here!

Take care of Mr. Pien

Yes

Please excuse me now

Please

Please come to the study

Madam prepared this

If there's anything you want

just let me know

I just sleep outside

You must be tired. Go to sleep

You must be tired. Go to sleep

Tomorrow you're a groom

I'll help you to undress

No!

What's wrong! You're not a girl

I'm not used to it. I'll do it myself

I'm not used to it. I'll do it myself

Good-night

Mr. Pien! You're still awake?

Who's that?

Chun-lan. Don't you recognize my voice?

Chun-lan. Don't you recognize my voice?

What do you want?

Milady prepared lotus seed soup

Milady prepared lotus seed soup

She asked me to take it to you

Thank her for me, I don't want it

Thank her for me, I don't want it

You will hurt her feelings

You will hurt her feelings

Eat it first before sleeping

No! I don't want it

You're sleeping with your clothes on

It's spring! You may catch cold

You're not Mr. Pien! Who are you?

I...

I'll tell the squire

Master. Master!

Listen to me! Listen!

Who are you?

Don't be scared! Sit down!

Chun-lan! Chun-lan!

It s no use shouting!

We're in the bridal chamber

It's too late to regret now

How dare you impersonate Mr. Pien?

I'll tell father

And have me arrested?

I may not be Mr. Pien, but I've his rights

I may not be Mr. Pien, but I've his rights

I may not be Mr. Pien, but I've his rights

What do you mean?

I won't tell you. You won't understand

Do you know the relation between us?

Mr. Pien is my blood brother

He must be blind

How can he have you as a blood brother

What'd wrong with me?

You say you're his brother

but did this cheap thing to me

Don't scold me yet

Let me explain it first

Go ahead!

Mr. Pien is a scholar

Ho was on his way to his examinations

But he got sick and became broke here

But he got sick and became broke here

The examinations are near

He borrowed 50 taels of silver from me

He let me have you as a deal

You're the prettiest girl here

So I agreed to it

Nonsense! He won't do such a thing

I don't believe you!

I know you won't! But look at this!

You embroidered it. He wrote this

You still won't believe me?

You still won't believe me?

Fate is so cruel to me

He shouldn't have forsaken me for glory!

And for the sake of money

sold me off to someone else

I suggest you go with me now

He is such a faithless man

He is such a faithless man

I may not be of noble birth

But I know the ethics too

A girl can't have 2 husbands

A girl can't have 2 husbands

I'm betrothed to Mr. Pien

He broke faith with me

I'll never re-marry

I'll repay you the 50 taels of silver

I'll repay you the 50 taels of silver

Please leave me right away

I don't want silver, I want you

I don't want silver, I want you

You...

You must marry me

Please give me a chance

I don't have a kind heart

It's late! Let's go to bed

Miss Liu!

Miss Liu! Don't do it

Don't take it for real

Miss Chou is teasing you

Miss Chou?

What? They got married?

Why wasn't I told earlier?

I waited here a day and a night

I waited here a day and a night

But you weren't in. Where were you?

You didn't leave any message

Whom did she marry?

I know Liu Teh-ming has a daughter

I never heard he had a son

Our master kidnapped Miss Liu

That may not be your business

Why did the squire get the authorities

and get our lady arrested too

and get our lady arrested too

Why should he do it?

There is no other man in the Liu home

Apart from the squire himself

Guards!

Yes

Come with me

Yes

You're a nuisance

I had nightmares last night

Dreaming of your Mr. Pien

Dreaming of your Mr. Pien

I don't blame you. Chun-lan is bad

She knew it, but won't tell me

I asked her not to tell you

I asked her not to tell you

Mr. Pien asked me to see you

so you won't worry about him

so you won't worry about him

You are a perfect match

But what will I do now

How will you get out of here?

You can't continue to stay here

You can't continue to stay here

If the squire should find out

What will we do then?

I should leave here as early as possible

No! We were married yesterday

And you want to leave today

That would make me the laughing stock

I have my affairs to attend to

I can't stay here forever

When Mr. Pien comes back

And you're together, what will I do

And you're together, what will I do

I have an idea

Tell us about it

You said Mr. Pien is at the capitals

You said Mr. Pien is at the capitals

That's right

When you see the squire

You say...

I'm most grateful to you ...

for your daughter's hand in marriage

but I have achieved nothing yet

the examinations are drawing near

I would like to take part in them

when I succeed in the exams

I shall vindicate your faith in me.

I shall vindicate your faith in me.

Good idea. But you just got married

Good idea. But you just got married

You can't leave so soon

If this event gets out

It is bad for the family name

Gossiping tongues are dangerous

How can we face people?

How can we face people?

I have thought of the consequences

But the exams are too close now

For my future, I have to do it

You must forgive me

Your future is important

What do you think, Yuet-ying?

His future is more important

I can't, because of my love

come between him and his prospects

I am in favour of his going

When he succeeded he not only

brings honour to his family

but glory to you too, sir

Since Yuet-ying has agreed

We should not stop him

We'll have a farewell banquet tonight

Thank you. Sir

Something terrible happened

Open up! Open up!

Master! It's terrible

Peach Blossom Hill bandits are here

What shall we do?

Don't panic!

I'll handle them sir

You?

When young I learnt the use of arms

I can easily handle them

But you must stay here

But you must stay here

Where is milady?

Release her immediately

If you don't

I will kill all of you

Did you hear that?

How dare you petty thieves come here

How dare you petty thieves come here

Who are you?

Your grand-father

Today I'll show you General Li's power

Brother Li! Take a look at me

Yu-Lui! It's you

Not so loud! Feign defeat

Go back first. I'll join you soon

Go back first. I'll join you soon

What are you doing?

Don't ask now

Go back

Chief! He beats us up

to retreat and you want

Shut-up!

Master! He drove the bandits away

Master! He drove the bandits away

They're gone

They're gone

I hope you weren't startled

You're both a scholar and a fighter

Thank you. You need not worry

They won't dare come again

But after you leave tomorrow

what'll we do if they come back?

what'll we do if they come back?

The authorities will deal with them

They won't dare cause trouble again

The capital has sent down orders

for Chou Tung to be taken there

for Chou Tung to be taken there

Hmm!

Brother!

What! You released my brides

What if I did?

On what authority did you do it?

Because she was unwilling

But I handed her to you

You should notify me first

I won't interfere if it is legal

I won't interfere if it is legal

But I must when it is by force

But I must when it is by force

Who said it was not legal?

Where is your match-maker?

That's none of your business

I make it my business

There's no need for all this row

Why quarrel over a small matter

Why quarrel over a small matter

A man never worries about a wife

We'll find a good one for you

We'll find a good one for you

No! I went to great trouble

to get her back here

She released her without my knowledge

She released her without my knowledge

She doesn't respect me

Think of your behaviour first

It is not worthy of respect

When we came here we vowed

to kill corrupt officials

to rob ill-gotten gains

But you kidnap women

That is not manly behaviour

You dare preach to me

I'll show you

Stop it! We shouldn't fight

Or we'll make a fool of ourselves

Wouldn't the people mock at us?

Well, just forget it for my sake

Please go in and rest

Master! Why are you so angry

Don't be mad

I have a plan

What plan?

What is this for?

Master respects you

He sent you these gifts

He is coming for the wedding. Your daughter's-

...room will be master's bridal chamber

If you dare call in the authorities

we'll show you what we can do

We'll raze this to the ground

And slaughter everyone of you

Do I make myself clear?

Get everything ready for tonight

Sir, I'm a monk from Wu Tai Shan

I have traveled long and an hungry now

Give me food and lodging

Give me food and lodging

We give only on the 1st and 15th

On other days we don't

I'm a travelling monk

Who cares! You don't get anything

Who cares! You don't get anything

You old slave! You're rude

You evil wicked monk

You evil wicked monk

You dare call me names

I'll get the village police

I could have gone elsewhere

But if you bring the police in

I insist on board and lodging here

Master

You won't get away

Master! Help!

What is it?

A monk got in

How did it happen?

Oh yes!

Where can you run off?

Oh, what the hell!

You won't get away

You can't be rude, sir

A monk should be kind

How can you be so crude

You don't know what happened

I'm a monk from Wu Tai Shan

I asked for food and lodging

but he insulted Me

So I barged in here. My apologies

Liu Fu

Yes

Why did you insult him?

Rev. Monk. For my sake

Please let him go

Buddha be with you

Please sit down.

What is your name?

Lo Chi-hsin

Rev. Chi-hsin! Liu Fu

Yes

Prepare some meatless food

Wait! I don't abstain from neat

In that case, bring meat and wine

How can monks eat meat?

Quick! Be on your way

Oh!

Cheers! squire

Help yourself

Uh!

I'm leaving

But Reverend

I don't force anybody to give me food

if you regret and sign

You misunderstand me

we are in grave danger

Tell me what it is

Perhaps I can help you

It's useless

A monk won't bother with such things

I may be a monk

but I am a busybody

In that case, I'll tell you

We have a rascal in these parts

He is Chou Tung

Chou Tung

Open up!

Squire! He's here

Chou Tung is here! What will we do?

Let him in

Open up!

But how can we do that?

Just open the door

Open up!

This is a great honor

Father-in-law! Don't stand on ceremony

Father-in-law! Don't stand on ceremony

I must apologize for the last time

If you let me marry your daughter

we'll forget about the past

Thank you for your graciousness

Move!

We have some poor wine for your man

We have some poor wine for your man

You're too polite

Liu Fu! Attend to milord!

Cheers! Father-in-law

Please

They have wine for us. Let's drink

Please sit down, Mr. Chou

Sure

This wine is not good enough for you

But I must drink it

Please sit down, father-in-law

Please take the seat of honor

I'll drink a toast to you

Thank you

Thank you! Father-in-law!

Father-in-law, I mean to ask,

Why isn't your daughter here?

So she can drink with us

My daughter can't drink

What do you mean?

This is our happy day

She should keep the groom company

She is shy and won't come out

Ah?

Shy? Where is she?

In her room

Take me to her

Let's go

Upstairs

You may go now

Damn it!

I can go up myself.

But I warn you

I'll kill you. if it is a trick

My bride! I'm here

My bride! I'm here

My bride!

My bride! Where are you?

My bride! Say something

So you're waiting for me here

Why is the room so dark?

My bride!

Don't you have any manners?

How can you kick me?

That's a mule's kick

A mule's kick! You're strong

A mule's kick! You're strong

You even use a mule's kick

We should go to bed

Wait! You must do one thing first

Before I'll go to bed

Darling! Not just one thing

I'll do a 100 things for you

Just tell me

You must kowtow to me first

What? Kowtow to you!

Why should a groom kowtow to his bride?

Will you do it?

Alright!

Hen-pecks are always rich

1..2..3

Lift your head and see who I am?

Who are you?

I'm your grand-father

Help! Chou Tsai

Help! Chou Tsai

That's master! He needs help!

Let's go upstairs

I'll kill anyone who comes up

Spare me, reverend monk

I'll spare you in the name of Buddha

I'll spare you in the name of Buddha

lf you do this again

my sword won't spare you

my sword won't spare you

I won't dare do it again

It shalln't happen again

Get the hell out of here

How dare he?

He uses his stinking money

to get the magistrate to help him

to get the magistrate to help him

Wait! I don't believe it

I don't think it was true

This time it is true

They really beat us up

Stop lying to me

Tell me why the Lius beat him up?

Tell me why the Lius beat him up?

I'm not taking his side

I must start from the beginning

Since you quarreled with master

because of Miss Liu

I had reasoned with Master

I asked him to change and he agreed

He felt that he had been wrong

He felt that he had been wrong

He took me along to apologize

And ask them not to get the police

And minimize the matter

so that it would be forgotten

That's right

We weren't wrong in the first place

Master sent me with 50 taels of silver

as a token of apology

But before we could say anything

A monk came out

A monk?

This monk was ferocious

This started to boat master

That's too much

But that's not all

When master said we were from...

Peach Blossom Hill; and our chief was Mr. Li

My name is known to many

He would give you face

It was better before, I mentioned you

but the monk swore at your name

What did ho say?

I can't repeat the awful things

Tell me

The monk said

Those petty thieves

I'll wipe them out tomorrow

The whole bunch of you monkeys

I'll slaughter all of you

Is that true?

I have only one life

I don't dare lie to you

That monk is too much

Don't be rash

Don't stop me

I must see who he is

Chief

Come with me

Over here

Knock on the gates

Yes

Open up!

Who is it?

We're from Peach Blossom Hill

Open up!

Master! Master!

Master! Help!

What is it?

Peach Blossom Hill bandits are here

Reverend! Please wake up

Reverend! Please wake up

What is it?

The bandits are here

With me here, you need not worry

You hide! I'll handle them

We'll break it down

You bald ass! My master is here

You evil monk! I dare you

We do everything in the open

Hey monk! Come out

I dare you to come in

I'm not afraid of you

That's the bald ass

I don't kill a nameless person

What is your name?

Speak up

I don't kill nameless persons either

What is your name?

I will never change my name

It is Li Chung, the Tiger General

So it's brother Li

Ah!

Who are you?

I'm Lo Teh

It's brother Lo

You must forgive me for being rude

You must forgive me for being rude

This is a real coincidence

We didn't know we are friends

Squire! Squire

Squire! I must tell you

Chief tan Li is an old friend

He is a good man

He is a great man

Brothers! I don't deserve such praise

Brother Chou! You behaved badly

For brother Li's sake I forgive you

But you must mend your ways

Yes

I hand Brother Chou over to you

You must keep him under control

Squire Liu has only one daughter

She has married Mr. Pien. Make no more trouble

If I find out you don't behave

I'll teach you a lesson

Yes

This is settled now

Don't worry now, squire

Thank you

Come on! We'll have a drink

We'll wish your son-in-law be success

My bride! Say something

I want to sleep even if you don't

But lady,

you can't fool me

I can guess what you think

Go ahead and guess

You must be under a spell

the spell of Mr. Pien

Who are you?
