(Yunshui Manor)

Today, after court,

people from the Ministry of Rites mentioned

Princess Fuhui will still hold

the Qixi Poetry Gathering this year.

She will invite scholars and notables.

If we could use it

to socialize with the Princess,

it would not seem deliberate.

Yes,

I heard that the Princess's invitations

are always arbitrary.

In previous years, she even invited the Liu family from Guixiang Tavern.

She has no prejudice against merchant families.

But why does she specifically avoid

sending invitations to our Capital Prefecture?

After Father left,

several Capital Prefects in a row didn't last long

and had no interest in socializing.

I suppose

they drifted apart from the Princess.

How about

I directly request one

on your behalf?

Requesting an invitation ourselves

would seem like trying to climb the social ladder,

and it would be too conspicuous.

Befriending nobles

should be as natural as possible.

I will think of another way.

Where is the tea brewing stove?

Late last night,

the Shen family borrowed many things from our residence.

They said it's better than what they used for their stall before.

Didn't you instruct yesterday

that the kitchen would be open for their use?

I thought about it and gave it to them.

I'm working to overturn the Cui case,

and my future is uncertain.

Even if we publicly say the Shen family is a distant relative,

if something happens one day,

they might still be implicated.

Young Master, your intention is

to terminate the engagement early

and send them out of Yong'an, right?

Lady Shen isn't fixated on the engagement.

They came to Yunshui Manor seeking refuge

just to give their family

a temporary place to stay.

They also said

they really want to return to their hometown.

Well, isn't that perfect?

When the Cui family incident happened,

the Shen family

must have been implicated, too.

Even if Lady Shen doesn't mention it,

I can't pretend not to know.

Even if we send them away,

I should fulfill my responsibility

to ensure their future livelihood.

How about

giving them a sum of money?

That would seem like we are trying to drive them away.

It's better to teach someone to fish than to give them fish.

They have a hard time in business.

We should support them more.

Liu Chang,

please watch over them diligently.

If they need anything,

provide it.

Understood.

They have already...

taken everything.

The flat pan for frying tea,

the stove with charcoal,

and even...

the salt,

all borrowed.

They certainly...

were polite.

(Jianbing)

Daughter,

listen, our ancestor's things

are truly good.

Look at this charcoal fire,

it doesn't smoke

and doesn't choke people.

Come take a look.

Yong'an's one-of-a-kind

Jianbing Guozi!

One qian per piece.

The only Jianbing Guozi in the dynasty,

back on the market!

Guaranteed not to disappoint!

Come here...

Don't miss out as you pass by!

- Here, take a look. - Hurry up, or it will be sold out.

Take a look.

No need, no need.

I am baffled.

In such a short time,

have they already

gotten tired of it?

Jianbing Guozi...

It smells so good.

Inside, there are eggs and sesame.

- Truly a delicacy in the world. - Dad!

I know. I see it.

Where did their Jianbing Guozi come from?

(Yunlai Tavern)

- Jianbing Guozi! - Here you go.

Special offer in Juxian Alley, three pieces for one qian!

- Rare to taste! - Got it.

- Sweet or savory? - Here they are.

That place also sells Jianbing Guozi? Let's go.

Take care.

Three pieces for one qian, take your pick!

- Here is one for you. - Take this.

Here you are.

Everyone,

three pieces for one qian.

Three pieces for one qian!

Good quality and cheap. Three pieces for one coin!

Good quality and cheap.

Three pieces for one coin!

Look,

isn't this our Jianbing Guozi?

It's yours.

- Good, thank you. - Give it to me.

Give it to me quickly.

How shameless

for such a big tavern

to copy us!

How dare they?

Everyone, don't crowd!

To make money, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

What should we do?

They copied ours,

and their price is lower.

Then, should we lower our price, too?

They must have cheaper supplies than we do.

We have no advantage in a price war.

If we have no advantage,

then...

(Virtue and Fragrance)

These are the Jianbing Guozi

Yunlai Tavern copied from us.

I bought back all the flavors.

Let us taste them to see what they are like.

Here, Yangyang.

It's a chicken cutlet!

Delicious!

The taste is indeed good.

Inside, it has...

Actually, if you taste it carefully,

the flavor is just average.

Still slightly inferior

to ours.

But this Jianbing Guozi itself

has no technical difficulty.

With a little effort,

it can be imitated quickly.

Who says it has no technical difficulty?

Vice Prefect!

Vice Prefect.

Is this

a full pancake feast?

Vice Prefect,

quickly, sit down.

Sit down!

Vice Prefect, try this.

Okay.

Mr. Liu,

here, have a taste, too.

Auntie, thank you.

You are welcome.

For this pancake,

the outer egg skin is soft and tender,

but the inside, like fried dough twists,

is very crispy.

Tastes wonderful!

What do you think?

Delicious.

Didn't

today's stall sale

go well?

No,

these are all made

by Yunlai Tavern.

They copied us,

and no one stops them.

Vice Prefect,

you must uphold justice for us.

Yes,

you're in charge of justice.

Is there no law

to restrain them?

Don't worry, Vice Prefect.

We can handle it.

Besides, to make money in business,

you always face all kinds of troubles.

We are fine.

Actually, this pancake

is nothing special.

Liu Chang, isn't that right?

Upon careful tasting,

this pancake still has...

Lady Shen, your family pancake

has more chewiness

and aftertaste.

Uncle Liu Chang,

you are lying, aren't you?

Uncle Liu Chang?

- It's just... - Don't comfort us.

Once Yunlai Tavern starts following trends,

soon all of Juxian Alley will imitate.

The market will saturate quickly.

We must switch tracks as soon as possible.

What is the market?

And...

what are tracks?

Just some terms we invented.

Simply put,

it means selling something different.

Want to copy?

Fine,

as long as they can keep up.

(Shen Family Lamb Skewers, Special Sale)

(Come for Skewers)

(We Are Live Now)

(Yunlai Tavern)

Hurry up, give it to me!

(We Are Live Now)

Here they are.

Shen Family Lamb Skewers, Special Sale,

officially starts today!

Officially starts!

Everyone,

don't miss out

as you pass by.

What do we bring you today?

Lamb Skewers!

♪Joy within♪

♪Heart has love, happiness arrives♪

This Lamb Skewer

is crispy outside and tender inside,

blending the spiciness of nutmeg and pepper

with the seasoning of salt and cumin.

Layers of flavor with an endless aftertaste,

making you unable to stop eating.

One bite after another!

Unable to stop eating!

♪Feast begins, smiles must bloom like spring♪

So lively. Let's go, take a look.

Is this Lamb Skewer really that delicious?

I must try it.

Do not leave!

Don't leave!

Don't!

♪Happy laughter makes wrinkles bloom joyfully♪

Everyone, listen,

since I was little,

I have never eaten

such delicious Lamb Skewers.

It's really that good!

Manager Feng,

they have started selling Lamb Skewers.

They came up with some new tricks

and drew people away.

Usually,

such a big bunch of Lamb Skewers

would cost about 30 or 40 qian.

Today, we have slashed the price

for everyone.

Slashed it!

Today, if you buy at the direct sale stall,

we will not charge 40 qian.

No!

Not 30 qian.

No!

Not 20 qian.

- Not even 20 qian? - So cheap!

So cheap.

For just ten qian,

you get such a big bunch of Lamb Skewers.

Unprecedented! Ten qian for so much!

Is it still not enough?

Buy one bunch, give one free!

Still not enough?

I will give you another bunch.

Daughter,

we can't give more.

We will lose money.

We will lose money!

Daughter...

Give it...

(Shen's Diner, Likes) Can't give more.

Give it...

No!

Customers are like family.

I must let family

enjoy the most affordable prices!

Yes!

Today,

only today,

at the direct sale stall, you get

three big bunches of Lamb Skewers for ten qian.

Everyone, are you tempted?

Yes!

Who wants to get it?

(Vice Prefect Likes) Shout on the road, "Shen Family Lamb Skewers

are delicious!"

Shen Family Lamb Skewers are delicious!

(Vice Prefect Sends Cheese Bun) Shen Family Lamb Skewers are delicious!

Shen Family Lamb Skewers are delicious!

(Vice Prefect Sends Chicken Leg) Shen Family Lamb Skewers are delicious!

Good! Three, two, one,

serve the Lamb Skewers!

Friends who want it,

pay here!

Lamb Skewers coming!

(Shen Family Lamb Skewers are delicious!)

Mine, I want it, too.

I have long promised to treat you to a meal,

but that day,

we only focused on drinking

and didn't eat well.

I got drunk

and remember nothing.

Luckily, today we finished court early,

and Brother Anran, you need to inspect the West Market.

We will make it up to you on the way.

Brother Anran?

Vice Prefect or Censor,

addressing each other like that

seems distant.

Calling you Yan

isn't appropriate.

Anran,

I'll call you Anran.

Perfect.

I'm the twelfth son.

From now on, call me Twelfth Master.

Censor Pei,

we have not...

When not on official business,

just call me Twelfth Master.

Twelfth Master, no need to be so polite.

No problem.

We shouldn't stand on ceremony.

I heard that the Shen family, which offered free tastings,

is now selling

those grilled Lamb Skewers.

Three big bunches for only ten qian.

I can afford to treat you to that.

Let us go try it.

But one thing puzzles me.

Lamb is so expensive.

Look, my salary isn't high,

and my rank is insufficient.

Every year, when salaries are distributed,

I don't get a single lamb.

How can the Shen family's lamb

be sold so cheaply?

I really can't figure it out.

Want to copy?

Fine,

as long as they can keep up.

Vice Prefect, please lend us one more thing.

What?

If I guess correctly,

when you took office,

the court's supplies should have included lamb, right?

Brother Anran, how many lambs do you get a year?

Enough to eat.

That means

at least

four or five lambs, right?

- Don't crowd! - Take it.

Fresh Lamb Skewers.

Fresh Lamb Skewers!

Queue up!

Finally, my turn.

Listen, our ancestor's

welfare benefits are so good.

He has got so many lambs.

I'm telling you, it's all thanks to him.

When we leave, remember to cook a delicious meal

to reward him.

Right...

Don't crowd, everyone gets some.

- Don't crowd! - Thank you.

Queue up.

Fresh Lamb Skewers!

A small stall, but bold enough

to challenge our Yunlai Tavern.

- Don't rush, everyone gets some. - Be careful, it's hot.

Line up.

Don't crowd.

Dad!

Disperse.

Disperse!

Disperse now!

Disperse, go away!

Go away.

Make way!

Seems like something happened.

Let us watch first.

Our Yunlai guests

are all of noble status.

Dining at our place

emphasizes tranquility.

Look at your stalls,

so noisy that our guests

can't eat.

What a disgrace!

Move away!

No!

Don't touch!

No, what is this?

No!

Who told you to move?

- Don't touch! - Yangyang!

- Yangyang! - Move away!

Don't touch my daughter!

- Yangyang! - Painful.

Put it down!

You... what are you doing?

See who dares to touch our family?

See who dares!

- Are you okay? - Who dares?

- It's fine. - What?

Be careful, you!

Drew a knife!

Yangyang, are you okay?

I don't even dare to touch my wife.

Who of you dares?

Want to die?

Sir,

which article in the market regulations

says you can't set up stalls outside Yunlai Tavern?

What?

You refuse to move?

Anyone can see

we have not obstructed any shop.

If you forcibly dismantle our stall,

we will have to inform the guards.

Lady,

daring to call the guards

on our turf?

Have you considered

how the guards

will judge you?

Hope that at that time,

in the prison cell, you can still be

as sharp-tongued

as today.

Prison?

How did it come to prison?

Among merchants in Juxian Alley,

there are such heroes

who can sentence people to prison with one word?

Where did this wild dog come from, barking?

Our Yunlai Tavern has been too long

without showing authority in Juxian Alley, right?

Anyone dares to meddle in our affairs?

Who?

Let me see.

Who...?

Lin...

- Who? - The newly appointed Vice Prefect.

Vice Prefect... Lin.

Look clearly now.

Who dares to meddle in your affairs?

Vice Prefect... Lin,

I failed to recognize you.

Kneel!

How dare you?

Not me.

How dare you?

Daring to address the Vice Prefect

as... wild dog.

You're seeking death!

Vice Prefect,

earlier,

it was my subordinate.

He spoke recklessly with ignorance of propriety.

I have already disciplined him.

Not me.

It's a misunderstanding.

Today,

this Shen family stall

blocked the market square

and severely obstructed

our Juxian Alley's

restaurant operations.

I kindly approached them to dissuade them.

Who knew the Shen family

would be so obstinate?

They even insulted us.

You're spewing venom!

- Vice Prefect. - Nonsense!

It's...

Truly.

You misjudge one point.

I didn't just arrive.

I have been watching

since you first brought your men.

Thanks, Manager Feng.

Censor Pei,

I have only recently arrived at the Capital Prefecture.

My duty is to inspect areas and purge misconduct.

Today,

thanks to Manager Feng's

consideration for my official burdens,

he specially came to bully the weak

to gift me

another merit to record.

Vice Prefect Lin,

I shall certainly note this down for you.

You punish the strong, aid the weak,

and eliminate evil root and branch.

Thank you, Censor Pei.

Misunderstanding!

A colossal misunderstanding!

What I said earlier

was all in jest.

In truth, I saw the Shen family

toil at their stall.

So I brought some helpers,

thinking they needed aid

and lacked manpower.

Why are you still kneeling?

Help them!

- Quick! Get up and help! - Yes.

- Hurry! - Thank you.

Thank you, Vice Prefect.

- Thanks. - What are you doing?

Remove your hand!

Who... who said you could touch?

I'll help, too.

Crush the strong, rescue the weak,

and uphold justice through speech.

Brother Anran,

you're truly a model for our generation.

Boss, another skewer for me!

This Shen stall is too crowded.

Shall we switch to another?

- I'll follow... - Boss! Another skewer!

you, Twelfth Master.

After you.

Wait!

Wait for me!

Wait! Future son-in-law!

Auntie,

future...?

Future son-in-law.

Apologies, Vice Prefect.

I ran too hastily.

My mind went blank for a moment.

I misspoke.

I'm sorry, Vice Prefect.

Apologies.

Don't rush.

Thank you for helping us earlier.

These are made by Jicai...

No...

These are fresh Lamb Skewers

made by Shaoguang.

Take them while hot.

Auntie, this is inappropriate.

Quick. Vice Prefect, take them.

- Take them, Vice Prefect. - No need.

Oh, you have a friend present.

Then... I shall not disturb.

But Vice Prefect,

without you,

our family business would fail.

We must give you

your share of the profits.

I asked the mutton sellers

about the market price

and added an extra ten percent. It's not much.

Vice Prefect, don't disdain it.

- Take it. - Auntie...

No, Vice Prefect.

- Auntie, this is inappropriate. - Just take it.

We agreed. Quick. Accept it.

Eat while hot.

Eat while hot!

Liu Chang, return it!

Son-in-law?

What son-in-law?

Twelfth Master, you misheard.

Since childhood,

my ears

could hear any sound within three zhang.

Back in the countryside,

all rumors from the villages around

reached my ears.

I could not possibly mishear.

She called you "son-in-law".

I'm acquainted with the Shen family.

Our parents arranged a betrothal between me and Lady Shen.

Please

keep this secret.

An arranged marriage?

But the Shen family is merchants.

If you marry into

such a family,

and if word spreads,

it will harm your career.

Rest assured. I will not spread it.

This is nothing.

Nothing?

How can this be nothing?

Marrying them

will burden your descendants.

A womb betrothal means no formal betrothal gifts were exchanged, right?

It can't hold.

Stay vigilant.

Don't let this family

ensnare you.

Twelfth Master,

they are not such people.

And please don't jump to conclusions.

You...

They use

such food to coax you.

This smells rather fragrant.

Let me taste it.

I have considerable expertise

in appraising fine cuisine.

Rustic fare of country bumpkins

won't satisfy me.

(Juxian Alley)

Delicious.

Truly delicious.

Simply a peerless delicacy of the mortal realm.

Compared to this,

all the exquisite dishes I've savored before

are utterly worthless.

Never imagined

this Lady Shen

could create

such exquisite flavor.

This woman is truly rare in this world.

So rare.

Actually, merchant families

aren't so bad, are they?

Brother Anran,

I suddenly feel

that if you marry Lady Shen...

I should send her away early.

What?

Nothing.

Here, all for you.

All these are for you to eat.

Here.

Anran!

I'm treating you to a meal.

This... this will not do.

(Start Near to Go Far)

I have never seen

so much money.

Let me touch it, too.

See how great Yong'an is.

Just casually selling these Lamb Skewers

earned so much.

Ancient folks have taste.

They know how to appreciate my cooking.

It makes me not want to go back.

Shen Jianshe,

you're exploiting the information gap of a modern person

and making things that these people haven't eaten.

If you were truly capable,

our little restaurant back home

wouldn't have gone bankrupt under you.

I'm the one

who... skewer by skewer...

What did you say?

Louder.

I said...

I said... you... you were right.

Ancient money is easy to earn,

but nowhere to spend it.

No wireless internet.

Can't surf the web.

Can't binge on TV dramas.

No chili peppers. No air conditioning.

Fetch water yourself.

Empty the toilet yourself.

Yes! Tell me, this dump...

Games? Can't play games.

TV dramas? Can't watch dramas.

I say... we should

take the gold back to modern times

and live in comfort. That's the real deal!

Right?

Brother, when are you not living in comfort?

- How could you...? - Your sister is right.

You really should learn from me.

I truly excel in the hall

and master the kitchen.

Handsome looks, perfect physique.

The very image of the head of a household.

How much have you earned?

And you've already forgotten your own surname and nature?

It's Shen.

Actually, I like ancient times, too.

We earn

this huge bucket of money so easily.

Plus,

I don't have to go to school,

study,

or do homework.

Listen,

if we go back,

you'll have to make up all that homework.

Understand?

Don't learn from your dad.

I... When I was little,

I always submitted homework on time.

Let's keep striving.

While we can still earn,

we must earn more.

Then, after returning,

life will be better, too.

Wait. Mom,

I skewer Lamb Skewers every night.

My hands are sparking.

Look at my hands. Reeking of mutton.

I skewered, too.

I also grilled.

Lamb Skewers take time. Cut meat, marinate,

then skewer one by one.

It's truly time-consuming and laborious.

If we want to earn more,

we need to sell things that can be mass-produced

with high unit prices.

This...

What?

These days, some guests

said eating too many meat skewers chokes them.

Could we

make drinks to sell alongside?

Makes sense!

(So Big a Bucket! Finish Homework, Top Exams Crimson!)

(Find an Ideal Husband. Ultracute Maiden Purple!)

(Beat Unfaithful Men. Green Drink!)

What spice is this? So fragrant.

So fragrant.

- Your Lamb Skewers. - Thank you.

Brother,

no slacking today.

Parents went shopping.

We can only rely on you.

Got it. Am I that unreliable?

What a profound misunderstanding.

Okay.

Everyone!

Everyone,

ever been betrayed?

Ever tasted the bitterness

of a sincere heart trampled to mud?

So chilling

even in blazing summer!

Today,

our Shen's Diner

developed Happy Water.

One of the signature drinks

is named

"Beat Unfaithful Men. Green Drink!"

Beat Unfaithful Men. Green Drink!

Quenches thirst. Relieves stress.

And portable.

More importantly,

you can experience

the feeling of beating an unfaithful man.

Look this way, please.

Everyone,

this is our process

of making Green Drink.

At this moment,

(Summer Refreshment) Don't suppress your emotions.

Let them out.

Release years of inner pain

and let it all out.

Think of him in your heart.

Don't control yourself.

Explode.

Beat all unfaithful men under heaven.

Beat unfaithful men.

Beat all unfaithful men under heaven!

Beat unfaithful men!

Beat all unfaithful men under heaven!

Beat unfaithful men!

Beat all unfaithful men under heaven!

Beat all unfaithful men under heaven...

Brother!

Doing business here!

Don't really think about

your ex-wife who ran off.

Apologies, everyone.

Behold.

Such a refreshing aroma.

First shake: past troubles scatter like smoke.

Second shake: bright future comes into view.

Third shake: wealth and peace forevermore!

Good!

Here. Open good fortune.

Open good fortune!

So fresh!

What taste must this be?

And ice cubes.

Real ice cubes!

How wonderful for summer heat!

Everyone,

I shall taste it

for you all.

How is it?

I have never

drunk such a delicious drink in my life.

Truly exquisite!

Exquisite!

- Good! - Good!

I want some Lamb Skewers.

I also want this!

- Okay. One Green Drink. - No problem.

Other drinks look good, too.

Give me this one.

- I want this one. - This one!

Alright. You'll all have it.

One by one!

Line up! Here they are!

The last two times, I said

I'd treat you to a meal.

We didn't get to finish properly.

Now... this time,

it's you treating us again.

I'm truly embarrassed.

What is this?

This is a special tea drink made by the Shen family.

It's called Dark Plum...

Dark Plum...

Liu Chang.

This tea is called Dark Plum Bobo,

All Things As You Wish.

Exactly.

Dark Plum Bobo, All Things As You Wish.

All Things As You Wish.

Good name.

Why can't I say it out loud?

It's delicious.

Lady Shen came up with this name, right?

She really has a clever mind.

Brother Anran, you are truly blessed.

I heard

that you recently wanted an advance on your salary.

Has something happened?

That Vice Minister Zhang

just pushed my request back. But he...

But he talked about this matter.

This person, honestly...

If you're facing difficulties,

you should tell me.

It's nothing.

I consider you a friend.

Between friends, when there's difficulty,

why hide it?

Actually, it's...

it's Princess Fuhui,

who's hosting a Qixi Poetry Gathering.

She sent the invitation to the Censorate.

A poetry gathering?

What's so difficult about that?

A normal banquet

wouldn't really be a problem.

But her Qixi Poetry Gathering

is considered Yong'an's premier social event.

I genuinely want to go and see the spectacle.

But...

I... I don't have a decent set of clothes.

So I wanted to get some silk on credit.

Unfortunately, Vice Minister Zhang didn't agree.

Then I just don't go.

Is that all?

I can make

a suit of clothes for you.

Really?

Really.

Forget it.

No need.

The Capital Prefecture's affairs are complicated and burdensome.

Your salaries

are hard-earned.

Forget it.

Then...

then wouldn't it be better

if you lent me a set?

Sure. Take your pick.

Thank you, Brother Anran.

Look,

I haven't managed to treat you to a meal.

And now I'm borrowing a suit of clothes from you.

Brother Anran, are you attending it, too?

You also know

that the Capital Prefecture is a mess.

Over the years, relations with her

have been neglected.

And I've only just taken up my post.

How could I ask for an invitation?

How can that be!

Brother Anran, rest assured.

Getting an invitation is easy for us.

I'll take care of this.

The Grand Princess finds her previous chef

lacking in novelty.

She's currently searching everywhere

for an innovative, excellent chef to cater for the poetry gathering.

An innovative, excellent chef...

Well, you have

a suitable candidate right here.

- Apologies for the wait. - Sir!

- They're free for you. - How about two more?

Apologies, everyone, truly, we have nothing left.

How about this, everyone, please come early tomorrow?

The evening drum has sounded.

It's time for us to pack up.

Please come back tomorrow.

Sorry.

Could we have one more cup?

Let's go.

Business was incredibly good today.

I really didn't expect that.

- The first day! Business is so good. - Auntie,

the money box is almost full.

So amazing.

Good girl, Yangyang.

So Big a Bucket! Finish Homework,

Top Exams Crimson!

Find an Ideal Husband.

Ultracute Maiden Purple!

Beat Unfaithful Men. Green Drink!

Dark Plum Bobo, All Things As You Wish.

Yangyang, let me tell you.

The flaw in her character

is right here.

She just wants to hear ancient people

say these phrases out loud.

This is simply the collapse of ritual.

Dad,

you know an idiom.

What does that mean?

How come I don't know how to use it?

It's just a collapse.

Collapse?

This tea drink looks novel.

Could you prepare a few barrels

and deliver them to the military tomorrow?

General!

No problem. Later, we...

If it's for delivery to the military camp,

forgive me, I dare not comply.

You...

Why?

General, when you say "military camp",

you mean the Imperial Guard, right?

The Imperial Guard protects His Majesty with great responsibility.

Food procurement has strict regulations.

How dare we, ordinary people,

send tea drinks to the military camp?

It's only tea.

You still dare not send it.

After all, a young woman is in charge,

and you lack courage.

General,

whether this tea is brewed in our pot

or in the camp's pot,

isn't it the same?

Then why not have the official camp cooks brew it?

You wish

to sell me the recipe?

We won't be staying in Yong'an long.

There's no need to keep the recipe secret.

We don't sell the tea drink

because we worry we couldn't bear the responsibility.

But I'm willing to sell the recipe.

The Imperial Guard defends peace.

You deserve to taste

Yong'an's newest and best tea.

Just now, I said the young lady lacked courage.

It seems I misjudged.

You flatter me, General.

Please wait a moment.

General, wait just a moment.

Auntie!

Bold in thought and action.

If she stayed in Yong'an,

she could become a great merchant

in no time.

Young Master, actually...

you admire Lady Shen quite a bit.

Nonsense.

General, here's the recipe.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Look. Look.

We've struck it rich!

Don't flaunt wealth.

It's fine, there's so much.

What are you afraid of?

Auntie, the Vice Prefect has arrived.

- Vice Prefect. - Vice Prefect. Mr. Liu.

Any drinks left? Get them something.

No need.

I came to discuss a matter with Lady Shen.

Alright.

There are still two cups here. Find an Ideal Husband.

Ultracute Maiden Purple!

Please try it.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Good. Alright.

You chat.

Yangyang, come here.

Is this cup of "Ultracute Maiden Purple!

Find an Ideal Husband"

tasty?

Tasty.

Isn't it called "Find an Ideal Husband.

Ultracute Maiden Purple"?

Did you change the name?

Didn't change it.

Vice Prefect, you said it right.

You did it on purpose.

My elder brother said this name

is too "collapse of ritual".

I didn't think so before.

When you said it, I realized.

Stop laughing, Jicai.

So teasing others is quite fun.

Vice Prefect, what matter did you come to discuss?

Princess Fuhui is seeking someone

to cater this year's Qixi Poetry Gathering.

I asked a friend at the Censorate to put in a good word for you.

Would you be willing

to give it a try?

What?

Have us cater her Qixi Poetry Gathering?
