[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

[Episode 7]

It looks so good.

So beautiful.

So pretty.

See?

Manyi's style is unique

and has a school of her own.

She deserved the name of Feng State's No. 1 Beauty.

Goddess Manyi.

Can I borrow your Qiao Dress to use as a reference?

Goddess Manyi.

I want to copy your entire outfit.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm not considering making a sample

or copying.

We are only considering exclusive customization.

Exclusive customization?

I want one.

No problem.

Let's start our business.

Dongqing.

Collect the money.

Okay.

Here.

It's good to see Young Madam so happy.

It makes Young Master's effort in

arranging the Double Seventh activities this year worthwhile.

Jiaobai.

After today's class is over,

don't forget to send Young Madam to that place.

Don't worry, Young Master.

I've told Dongqing

to prepare the second surprise for Young Madam

properly.

Cheng Manyi. We paid the deposit.

Can you guarantee that the delivery will be on time?

Yes.

Can you guarantee to be on time?

Of course.

I'm in a favorable position thanks to the royal family.

I'm working with Feng Qiwu.

Where is Feng Qiwu?

I haven't seen him today.

What should we do?

If we can't get the Qiao Dress on time,

what is the point?

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

Dongqing, let's go find Feng Qiwu.

[Fengyin Pavilion]

Miss, Young Master is unavailable to meet guests today.

Please come another day.

I'm here to make a fortune with him.

You still can't meet him today.

Miss, please leave.

Wait.

Did something happen?

Don't close the door until you make it clear.

You have no idea.

Today is the anniversary of Young Master's biological mother's passing.

Every year on this day,

Young Master locks himself in the mansion,

avoiding all visitors

and going nowhere.

Miss, please go back.

My lady.

What should we do?

The students are still waiting.

Manyi, I have something to do later.

I can't see you off.

Liu, see Manyi off.

Dongqing, return the entire deposit

to the students

and provide them with double the compensation.

Tell them we can't deliver the Qiao Dress on time.

That's a lot of money.

Money is small; losing trust is significant.

But...

But the Young Master is still waiting.

I almost forgot about him.

This is the only way.

I'll be right back.

It won’t take long.

Tell him I’ll be there soon.

My lady.

Young Master, I-I'll take it.

Young Master, they are here.

Young Master.

My lady has something to take care of and will return shortly.

It won't take long.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother! Mother!

Don't die!

Wake up!

Don't die, Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Are you all right, Feng Qiwu?

Mother.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Feng Qiwu.

Don't leave me.

Feng Qiwu, it's fine.

I'll stay with you.

It's okay.

All right.

Feng Qiwu.

-Feng Qiwu. -Don’t leave me.

It's okay.

♫It's like deep and true love losing to time♫

It's okay.

All right.

Mother.

♫Only sadness and wounds can be commemorated♫

Mother.

♫Just like movie plots and stories, only imperfections hold beauty♫

Don't be afraid. I am here.

I'm here.

♫It can become destined regrets♫

Mother.

Mother.

♫When do we feel loved and indebted♫

Mother.

Mother, don't leave me.

Mother.

♫It seems as if deep affection is captured in film♫

♫Crying, laughing and fading, so the drama can be praised♫

♫The curtain falls, leaving an extra moment of warmth♫

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

♫It's better to part ways than to gather with red eyes♫

Are you okay?

♫But you left in a hurry♫

♫Leaving me with a darkened theater♫

I'm fine.

I will be fine from now on.

That's good.

♫There's no place to say goodbye♫

♫No one forces you to act a certain way towards me♫

I didn't see anything.

I know nothing.

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

Thank you, Manyi.

Thank you for coming today.

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

♫And don't lie when you're tired; Exit quietly♫

Actually my mother

passed away on a rainy night like this.

♫In silence♫

So whenever it rains,

I miss her.

Are you really so comfortable

sharing your secret with me?

♫When do we feel loved and indebted♫

Okay, then I'll tell you

my secret too.

♫It seems as if deep affection is captured in film♫

Actually, I'm not some talented woman.

♫Crying, laughing and fading, so the drama can be praised♫

♫The curtain falls, leaving an extra moment of warmth♫

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

I should have thought about it.

How you act

is totally different from a talented woman.

♫It's better to part ways than to gather with red eyes♫

Then we are like close friends

who've exchanged secrets.

♫But you left in a hurry♫

Don't tell anyone.

Okay, I won't.

♫Leaving me with a darkened theater♫

Thank you. Manyi.

♫There's no place to say goodbye♫

♫No one forces you to act a certain way towards me♫

Deal.

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

It's a deal.

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

Manyi. What did you write?

If I tell you my wish, it won't come true.

♫And don't lie when you're tired. Exit quietly♫

Okay.

I won't tell you either.

[Get rich and go back soon] [Wen Chenyi, please be less annoying]

I know even if you don't tell me.

♫Without a sound♫

Don't worry. I am a loyal friend.

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

I'll have your back in the future.

Okay.

♫It's better to part ways than to gather with red eyes♫

Look.

The sky lantern ascends into the sky,

so the person you miss will be able to see.

♫But you left in a hurry♫

Can it be seen

no matter how far it flies?

♫Leaving me with a darkened theater♫

Of course.

That's great.

♫In silence♫

[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

You're like a scumbag

who blew off her husband

to hang out with the wrong crowd.

You are truly a master at infuriating Wen Chenyi.

You haven't left yet?

You've been waiting for me all this time?

But I'm two hours late.

♫The candle is burning out. The dawn is breaking♫

Whether it's one hour

or ten hours,

as long as you said you will come,

♫The moon knows my thoughts♫

it's fine to be late.

♫Life is so long, I hope to spend♫

I'll always wait for you.

♫The rest of my life with you♫

It's a pity.

♫It's a long way to go♫

The food for the Double Seventh Festival I bought for you have gone cold.

I'll throw it away.

♫May I have a lifelong partner♫

Don't throw it away

Whether it's cold or hot,

as long as it's bought by you,

it's delicious.

♫Let me be your lover♫

♫Hope you can get to know my love♫

The outer crust is crispy

and it melts in the mouth.

♫Wait for the arrangement of fate♫

The red bean paste filling

is sweet and chewy.

♫Let us be together♫

It's no surprise that it is chosen by

the World's Greatest Scholar, Wen Chenyi.

♫It's a long way to go♫

You...

There are more fun activities

♫I want to be with you♫

waiting for you.

Let's go.

Go, go, go.

Hurry up.

So much delicious food.

Miss, what's your zodiac?

Candied hawthorn.

This one looks nice too.

That ring toss.

I want to play that.

What is this?

Wen Chenyi, what is this?

Good.

Bravo!

Bravo!

One more.

Let's go over there.

Are you having fun?

Yes.

Which one do you want to play?

I'll follow your lead.

Consider it my apology for being late today.

I see.

I have to think about it.

Well,

that one.

Let's go.

Which one do you like?

I like that one.

Okay.

Great!

Interesting.

Next.

Next.

Do you trust me that much?

Of course.

You are Heroin Cheng.

According to you,

I have to increase the stakes.

[Bring it on!]

Fun, fun, really fun.

Wen Chenyi, what's next?

To make Manyi laugh,

the cold-faced brother sacrifices himself for some fun.

I'm already tired of saying

how well-matched you two are.

Where are they?

Your Highness.

I've never seen you

at the Double Seventh Lantern Festival.

What makes today different from usual?

It's a rare sight!

When do I have to

report to you?

Let's go.

Congratulations.

Solve the lantern riddles and win a lantern!

Boss, how much is this?

Excuse me, Young Master.

Our lanterns are given as prizes, not sold.

If you solve the riddle,

you can get the lantern.

[Shou Chun Liu Du]

'Shou', 'Chun', 'Liu'...

You can't even read the word 'Du'.

Could it be that you are a martial artist

with no knowledge of literature?

A rough person solving lantern riddles

is like a blind person lighting a lamp.

It's a waste of time.

Shou Chun Liu Du.

The answer is Qingming.

You think you can laugh at someone

just because you know a few words.

What a disgrace!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ignore them.

Congratulations on solving the riddle.

Please choose a lantern.

You choose.

It's for you anyway.

This one.

Okay. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

The rabbit is soft and cute.

Yes, just like Miss Chenwei.

What?

What brings you here today?

Don't mention it.

I lost my brother and sister-in-law.

I wanted to keep an eye on them

to finish my painting.

I don't know what to do now.

What?

You lost Manyi?

Don't worry. She can't escape my eagle eyes.

Why does Cui Jun

get so worked up when he hears about Manyi?

Don't tell me that he hasn't given up.

Thank God.

Thanks to Manyi for giving me a chance

to show myself in front of my goddess.

I have to do my best.

I can't mess it up.

I found her.

[Yale Hall]

Thank you.

At the beginning of the Double Seventh Festival,

we launched

the silhouette guessing game.

The so-called silhouette guessing game is that

a woman will not show her face

but her silhouette on a folding screen.

The person a man finds based on the shadow

is his destined one.

Sir, how to participate?

Actually, the participants

have already been chosen

before you entered here.

Please take a look at your token.

Tokens with number seven in it

are the lucky ones today.

You are in!

I am in!

[17]

Bingo!

Young Madam, come on!

[47]

You are in.

I'm seven.

Let me see.

[7]

I'll reluctantly

pair up with you.

But can you recognize me based on the silhouette?

It's simple.

Easy said than done.

If you don't recognize me,

I will...

What?

I'll do whatever I want.

The lucky ladies

can get ready in the backstage.

Please.

This way, please.

This way.

My lady, you can do it!

Young Madam, you can do it!

Brother, come on!

Mr. Wen.

The talented men who come with the beauties,

please wait to come to the stage.

I've remembered her dress and posture.

It will be easy for me to find my goddess.

Come on.

Now, try to find her!

That's her, right?

He'll think of me as her, right?

Who will be my destined one?

Will he recognize me?

Or...

recognize me wrongly?

My goddess likes drawing.

One of them is writing and the other is holding the drawing board.

But which one is her?

Wen Chenyi, you pig head, what are you doing?

♫The candle is burning out, the dawn is breaking♫

♫The moon knows my thoughts♫

♫Life is so long, I hope to spend♫

♫The rest of my life with you♫

♫It's a long way to go♫

♫May I have a lifelong partner♫

♫Let me be your lover♫

♫Hope you can get to know my love♫

I found you.

♫Wait for the arrangement of fate♫

♫Let us be together♫

♫It's a long way to go♫

♫I want to be with you forever♫

Time's up. Withdraw the folding screen.

Open.

♫In halcyon days♫

♫I can hug you♫

♫And give you a happy life♫

♫Let's hold hands and grow old together♫

♫Let that story be sloppy♫

How come it's you?

♫It's worth the love♫

♫It's good that it's you♫

♫It's okay to be a little late♫

[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

Today is the happiest day since I come to Feng State.

All the delicious food, fun things, and nice things,

I've done it all.

What else have you prepared?

Next...

Let's take a look.

Old Crow.

[Enjoying Qin Pavilion]

Here's His Majesty's order.

The Double Seventh Lantern Festival is lively today.

It is thriving just like the past.

In order to entertain the people,

we've specially added a poetry battle.

I appoint the World's Greatest Talented Woman, Chen Manyi,

to participate.

What is the Old Crow doing?

Today, all the talented people are here.

Here,

I specially imitated the winding stream party.

It's such a classical and elegant custom.

The poem says, "The wine cup goes with the flow."

The bamboo tube has already been set to flow with water.

The wine cup flows from the top

and slowly flows down.

When the cup stops in front of you,

you have to make a poem.

If you can't compose a poem,

you have to drink three cups as punishment.

That's the rule.

You can sit next to me later.

To show fairness,

I've invited Mr. Wen to be the judge.

He will not participate in the battle.

I'm afraid it's unfair.

Why are you here?

I came to seek justice for you.

Your Highness, what do you mean?

The wine cup floats from upstream to downstream.

If it floats here,

it will definitely spin.

Then the probability of staying

will be greatly increased.

It's not fair for Cheng Manyi.

Really?

Why can't I see it?

You're blind in mind.

No matter how many eyes you have,

it's useless.

Listen up, everyone.

I protest.

As far as I know,

the Fifth Prince was just punished by His Majesty.

Do you want to be grounded?

Shameless old man.

Your Highness,

may I have a word with you?

Okay.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Unfortunately, it's not allowed to enter the inner court,

so I don't know the situation.

I can't help Manyi either.

It's not that hard.

If I carry you on my back, won't you be able to see?

Really?

Leave it to me.

I hereby announce

the Poetry Competition begins.

Good.

Du Yaqin.

Please compose a poem.

Look carefully.

Sparse stars, faint moonlight in the empty courtyard.

Sorrow and resentment, like clouds and rain, are reflected on a lotus face.

After a night of wind and rain, flower petals are scattered about.

The red fragments drift and wither, covering everything.

This poem really moves me.

It's not good at all.

It’s not good.

The Fifth Prince doesn't know poems.

Mr. Wen, please evaluate.

I smell tea.

Why do you like someone else's husband so much?

The entire poem carries a sense of resentment.

If it's limited to

personal romantic matters between men and women,

it feels rather lowbrow.

I...

Mr. Wen is right.

Surely, the World's Greatest Talented Woman, Cheng Manyi,

must have a broad mind.

Please look forward to it.

You are setting me up again.

Okay, continue.

Du Yaqin.

Compose another poem.

Water splashes, and rolling waves shimmer.

Wooden strings hum with a soothing tone.

Rain softly moistens the cloud-fringed hair.

Flowers bloom within the lotus heart.

Good.

Go on.

Du Yaqin.

A thousand miles chasing the wind-blown bird, bright and clear.

Waving butterflies, as fleeting as an inch.

Falling flowers and flowing water reflect unfulfilled love.

Why don't mandarin ducks pair up.

The cup is full.

Stop.

I hereby announce that

the Poetry Competition

is over.

Mr. Wen, good idea.

You're indeed the king of ideas.

Manyi.

As expected of me.

Winning effortlessly from start to finish

without any challenge.

An ordinary chosen one.

Manyi.

Do you really think you're lucky?

Am I wrong?

Manyi told me that

you already know her fake identity as a talented woman.

Yes.

I'm here for this.

I'm afraid the Vice Censor-in-Chief Du is secretly scheming,

so it's likely that Manyi's secret will be exposed to the public.

I have an idea.

What is it?

Mr. Wen, please go ahead.

Do you know that

magnets can both attract

and repel?

I see.

Place a magnet

at the bottom of the wine cup

and then placed a repelling magnet at Manyi's location.

In this way,

Manyi will be safe.

You two are smart.

Not bad.

His Majesty held the Poetry Competition today,

yet Miss Cheng didn't have a chance to compete.

What a disappointment.

Am I right?

Yes.

What?

This shameless old man.

Trying one scheme after another.

What are you doing?

In my opinion,

why don't we compose a poem impromptu?

Point at anything

and have Miss Cheng

and the other talented people take turns composing poems.

If this gets out,

it'll be a grand literary event in our Feng State.

That makes sense.

Come, let’s welcome Miss Cheng.

Okay.

Old Crow doesn't have moral ethics.

He wants a wheel battle

so it will be me against all of them.

You've disgraced

the reputation of the scholars.

Miss Cheng is known as the World's Greatest Talented Woman.

She doesn't dare to fight.

Could it be the title of 'Talented Woman'

is not accurate?

Or could it be that Mr. Wen

was dishonest back then?
