Episode 18

Guys,

today is the day Xinsilu and Longzhu Gang

open up Qinglong Firm together.

I hereby make a toast to Master Long.

Let’s forget about those small talks.

I’m not such a righteous person at all.

I’m just doing it

because it’s profitable.

Today is the day,

we form a big family.

Let’s drink to the big family!

Yes.

Cheers!

Yes. Cheers!

Cheers!

Come on.

- Come on. - Cheers!

To family.

Cheers.

Family?

Aren’t I a member of this family?

This is Nyuerhong liquor from second master.

Please enjoy yourselves.

Come on.

The first drink is to show my respect.

Let’s drink for our hard work.

In the heavy rain in May,

I waited to pay the workers delivering the first garments.

This second drink

is to myself.

Like a cast-iron man,

I accompanied this hard-hearted man

to start from scratch.

OK.

Let’s drink together.

Lady.

Run after her!

You hurry up!

You piss your partner off.

Hurry up!

How can I expect to cooperate with

such an indifferent man?

Xiaoxian.

Pancakes.

Xiaoxian.

Freshly made pancakes.

Xiaoxian.

Never discussed such a big deal with me!

Do you still regard me as the second master?

Nyuertu deceives me too much.

We are forced to establish Qinglong.

Now there is a Nyuertu,

tomorrow there might be a Nanertu.

You are always cautious.

Why are you so headlong this time?

I think, maybe it is because you love Long Aoyi.

I just want to find the painter with her help.

In addition,

I have become a thorn for commissioner,

leading to tension between you and him,

and I am afraid you will suffer from it.

Suffer from it?

For so many years,

I help you to develop the industry,

while you treat me as an outsider.

Two years ago,

there was a forest here.

We were planning our future

under a gardenia tree.

This purse

is full of fallen flowers of the that tree.

I used to take it out and look at it,

and look forward to the future.

I hope when you see that,

you will never forget when we started.

But now,

you’ve been having an affair

with a lowlife girl

and you’re kicking me out.

Xiaoxian.

We have always talked calmly.

But why every time I mention Long Aoyi,

you would never let it go?

Because you don’t believe my decision?

Or there has been no privity

between us?

I always treat you like my own sister.

The most urgent task now is to make the Nyuertu.

Mr. Supervisor,

this is the fine product I selected.

How is it?

This is totally unqualified.

Please tell us the reason.

These lines are totally inconsistent with

the requirements of a national gift.

It not only affects the folk customs of our Tang Dynasty,

but also extremely corrupted

the customs of our country.

The court has strict requirements

on Nyuertu.

It is required to be

neither immoral nor rigid.

As mentioned

in the Han History,

a couple have a sex in the studio,

set up a banquet for parents and sisters.

Make people look up to draw pictures.

You mean,

find a demonstration.

This damn supervisor is too strict,

so we have to think about it

from this perspective.

Shadow play is the same as what you said.

Exactly.

Shadow play is made of sheepskin,

and we’ll change it into a real person.

But...

Let a girl and a man demonstrate...

Isn’t that the Wuyun Pavilion?

Yes, Wuyun Pavilion.

Find some beautiful girls to demonstrate.

See?

Why you give up?

How can I continue?

Look at them.

No one is willing to have a try.

Let me tell you,

anyone chosen by Master Xu

is not allowed to refuse.

No way.

I have to arrange the production.

How can you produce before he finishes the design draft.

What about my posture, is it OK?

Just relax.

Although it is a shadow,

you still need to pay attention to your posture

- and take it easy. - Yes.

Yes, that’s right.

You should straighten your waist.

How about this?

Wait.

You can’t be too seductive, either.

You should be reserved.

Try to welcome while saying no.

What’s that on earth?

What a grievance you have!

You’ll just stand there like wood,

with glazed face

and stiff limbs.

So, you want to kill someone?

You are such a badass.

I have done whatever you want me to do.

Why aren’t you satisfied?

If a couple like each other,

how can they be like this?

What is love?

Have you never liked anyone?

Imagine that, the one you like stands in front of you

and looks at you with love,

just like when you see Du Xiaoxian.

What?

Du Xiaoxian?

Is your master really stupid or playing dumb?

I can’t believe why he doesn’t understand.

What’s up?

He went out to chase Du Xiaoxian that day.

Then another day he asked my lady out

in the teahouse.

He fell in love with two girls at the same time.

He is quite bad to do so.

What an insult the dog has done to the tiger!

Who is that dog?

Do you dare say that again?

OK.

Yes, that’s right.

Keep that gesture.

Both you guys keep it.

I’m going to draw the picture.

She gently refused me,

and her elegant talk is just like fragrance of bluegrass.

We confided our love to each other,

and our hearts were filled with passion and joy.

Lady.

Are you all right?

What are you doing here?

I’m really worried about you,

so I followed you all the time.

Nothing.

Back then,

you ran out from Longzhu Gang.

I looked at you and Master Li from a distance,

and I didn’t know what you said.

Yue’er.

I don’t want to mention him tonight.

And I don’t want to go back.

Please accompany me for a walk outside.

Lady.

You’d better keep this purse.

Who allowed you

to pick it up?

It has been with you for so many years,

and you regard it like the treasure and wear it.

I just can’t bear...

What’s inside

is just some fallen petals.

I was so stupid

to regard them as treasures.

How about this?

I’ll keep it for you

for the time being.

You can take it back when you think it over.

Up to you.

Wine

On the seventh day of the seventh moon when none was near,

at midnight in Long Life Hall, he whispered in her ear,

on high, we’d be two lovebirds flying wing to wing;

on earth, two trees with branches twined from spring to spring.

The boundless sky and endless earth may pass away,

but this vow unfulfilled will be regretted for aye.

Perhaps it was because

they don’t need to wait for each other like humans

that they could live happily until they died

even though they were separated by the Milky Way.

That’s why these love songs

can last for thousands of years.

Altair appears to the west of the Milky Way, Vega to the east.

They look at each other forever, but who has ever seen them together?

This love poem handed down through the ages

turns out to be a lie.

Maybe I’m the only fool.

Don’t say that, lady.

Mr. Li just lost his head for a moment,

and he’ll be sorry later.

Don’t comfort me.

Even though he loved me before,

now things are different,

no matter what I do

we cannot go back to the past.

Yue’er.

Wu Lin.

What is he doing here at that deep night?

Is Prince Zhao also there?

Your Highness!

I bought the last pork leg

from Zhouzi Zhang!

Thanks to my agility,

or you can’t enjoy it.

Come on,

every day, in the Du’s Mansion,

I have to eat a diet without meat,

which makes me malnourished.

I’ve been craving a leg of pork these days.

Here, eat some!

But, Your Highness.

Just now, at the door,

I saw Miss Du and Yue’er outside.

Why are they here?

At this late hour,

are they hungry, too?

I don’t know.

But, you see, it’s very late now,

and the girls aren’t safe

out there.

I know what you’re thinking about.

Go ahead and invite Miss Du

if she wants to have a drink.

OK.

Miss Du, come on.

Miss Du, come on.

I am so sorry to disturb you, Your Highness.

You needn’t be so stiff

since you’d like to have a drink with me.

We may as well

forget our ordinary status,

I am not the prince,

and you are not the rich girl.

We are just two passersby who meet by chance

and drown their sorrows in wine.

Miss Du, you got something on your mind?

Your Highness are also full of worries.

Well.

Then we two similar miserable guys get together

to enjoy the drink.

Leave our trouble until tomorrow!

Whatever you say.

You see, Miss Du

and His Highness sit together,

and they are really

a perfect match.

But who would have thought

they both liked someone of their own?

Both lonely people in the deep night.

So heartrending.

Do you think the God of Love

accidentally hooked up the wrong couples?

I have never seen someone

so dedicated to love in my life,

and here are two.

One is your Miss Du,

and the other is Prince Zhao.

Of course.

My lady once told me that,

when she was six years old,

once she first met Master Li

she had a different feeling for him.

Six years old.

That’s just a kid.

They fell in love at such a young age.

Exactly.

But it was not the two of them,

only my lady.

Back then,

my mother took me to a silk store in the Northern City

to buy new clothes

as a gift for me being a teenager.

That’s when

I first met Qingliu.

Goat.

Water.

Ghost.

Wood.

Gold.

Fire.

Han.

Therefore,

Master Li was adopted by a young couple in a silk shop

from an early age.

In fact,

he was taken to Silver City by his nanny

when he was a little child.

By chance,

he met Mr. and Mrs. Li, who had no children.

Because he looks lovely,

he was accepted as an adopted son.

After his adoptive parents died,

the nanny raised him.

Later,

the nanny raised Yan Bin to accompany Qingliu.

We three are partners who grew up together.

Qingliu is eccentric,

and doesn’t want to make friends with others.

So apart from Yan Bin and me,

he has few friends around him.

I am very envious

of the childhood relationship

between Master Li and you.

It would be great

if there were such an opportunity

between Miss Long and me.

Can she

feel your love?

Faith can move mountains.

I believe that I will move her one day.

I also believe that

Master Li and you

will stay together forever.

It’s no use having only the two of us believe that.

From now on,

we should also help each other.

OK.

Come on, drink more.

You haven’t spoken up all this way.

If you have anything to say, just speak up.

I heard that

Miss Du and Prince Zhao

drank together all night yesterday.

Finally,

taking Miss Du by the hand,

Prince Zhao sent her back to Du’s Mansion.

That’s what I heard from someone else.

I thought you really have something important to say.

How can such a trifle make you hold it all the way!

Aren’t you worried?

Worry for what?

You said, what if Prince Zhao

is really a heartbreaker?

What should we do?

Whose heart was broken by him?

Master,

you are very clever at ordinary times,

but why

are you so insensitive emotionally?

Prince Zhao’s love for Master Long

is well known to everyone,

but now,

he dare interfere with you when you quarrel with Miss Du.

No matter how careless he is,

he should avoid suspicion.

When you deal with the affairs here,

you always fail to get a good idea,

But when it comes to love,

you have so many words to say.

I...

It seems that you don’t want to be in charge.

Alright.

I’ll send you to the silkworm farm tomorrow.

No, you wouldn’t.

Don’t worry about these things from now on.

Leave it to me to do.

Wu Lin,

Tea you go to the tea market tomorrow morning.

Before we go back to Chang’an,

let’s take some tea back to my mother.

OK.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Master Li,

you come here to say hello to me,

because you want to talk to me.

You are so smart.

I wonder...

Sit down.

Master Li, please speak out straightly.

I have something important to do.

I wonder whether you like

Xiaoxian

or not.

Wu Lin.

What’s wrong?

What happened last night?

What?

Don’t pretend to be innocent.

I have heard that.

Well...

Although Yue’er is lovely,

I just chatted with her last night

and never did anything wrong.

Are you stupid?

What I want to know is about Prince Zhao and Miss Du,

not about you and that hot girl.

Tell me!

Don’t talk about His Highness at will.

You go back and stand and get away from me.

It’s you who let me come here.

Go away.

I…

From public,

she is my business partner to run our silk store.

Personally,

she is a good sister I grew up with.

Therefore,

I hope Your Highness

will get rid of the habit of being too romantic.

Are you here to warn me?

Well.

Are you concerned about

Miss Du

or Miss Long?

No need to tell you.

Last night,

I did talk with Miss Du for a long time,

and now I know her a little bit.

The deeper I know her,

the less likely I will love her.

On the contrary,

I have known you better,

especially your fickle feelings.

Since you want to talk to me about

romantic love.

Well.

Miss Long is my good friend

and the only person I love.

So I hope you will stay away from her.

Please do not

disturb her often,

lest it doesn’t conform to

your magnanimous status.

As for Miss Du,

before criticizing me,

consider what you owe her

in these years.

Owe her?

What do you mean?

Miss Du accompanies you

throughout her youth.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t cherish her,

but why did you break her heart?

Don’t you feel guilty?

Xiaoxian and I

are always just brother and sister.

No way.

If you really have no intention,

just tell her directly.

Don’t break her heart,

but pretend to be so affectionate and righteous.

Right?

That’s all.

I’ve told you what I want to say.

I have to do an important favor for Miss Long,

I’ll be leaving now.

Excuse me for not keeping you company.

Wrong.

Wrong.

You lost.

Impossible.

Let’s finish now.

I’ve already lost ten times.

Usually, I can always beat you once

every five times, right?

That’s because I give in to you.

How about this time?

I don’t want to.

You should have had a date tonight, right?

Xiaoqin was supposed to go to dinner with me,

but she went out to dinner with Master Long

and Prince Zhao.

So I’m alone.

Jealous?

Rumor has it in Chang’an that

you made great efforts in Jiannan Dao

and promised the first tax revenue

in the country before the Emperor.

You officials from the capital

always tease me,

the old poor man in distant place.

Come on,

let’s propose a toast to Mr. Du

with his wine.

The food is so great,

especially this sheep stewed with pepper,

which is actually seasoned with pepper.

Only Mr. Du

can make such

a high-grade meal.

He deserves his title, the Minister of Six Ministries.

It’s just home cooking. Come on, cheers.

Come on.

I am so curious.

How is the Nyuertu now?

Everybody,

Nyuertu

is supervised by me in the whole process,

and its creativity is from the Three Menaces,

which can be viewed from far and near,

and is loved by both young and old.

Well.

Through it,

let’s wish Mr. Du a pleasant journey

in Chang’an.

In the future, when you become the head of officials,

don’t forget us.

I still need your help.

When I arrive in Chang’an,

please remember to

help me expand my connections.

Come on.

- Finish it. - Sure, sure.

Come on.

Look, everybody.

That... Look...

Mr. Du.

The workmanship of this picture is nice,

but it could be better if you put more materials.

Mr. Du,

isn’t this picture a bit too explicit?

It will inevitably affect the dignity of our Tang Dynasty.

I think so.

It’s hard to avoid being criticized

for showing it so fair and square.

As for this Nyuertu,

since the other party didn’t make us more requirements,

I’ll make the decision now.

How about producing a batch

and sending it to Dongnyu State first?

What about it?

I think,

these are more vivid than those from my master.

More wild fun.

The characters here are very vivid and provocative.

Then arrange the production quickly.

Master, we don’t have enough raw silk.

Your career had developed very well,

but at that time,

you had no raw silk.

The silk reeling season has passed,

and silk is prone to insects,

so no one will stock more goods.

If in previous years,

everyone would have saved some silk.

But this time,

all the raw silk was forcibly taken away

by the government at a low price.

It was taken away by the government?

Yes.

It is said that the Sichuan raw silk is of poor quality,

so they will produce silk in Jiangnan in the future.

They have the final say?

Then why not pay tribute with the silk from Jiangnan?

Because our Sichuan raw silk

is of good quality.

Why don’t you look for silk goods in Southern City?

I heard that silkworm farmers in Southern City

still have some raw cocoons.

I...

As he just said,

all the silks were taken away by the government,

so I can’t get it though I go there.

Those are to be used as rearing shed,

and they are so important.

I’ll figure it out.

Raw Silk Warehouse

Your Highness, there is nothing.

Where is raw silk?

It was all collected, right?

Your Highness,

this raw silk is not easy to preserve, so it turns bad.

Ridiculous!

Calm down, Your Highness.

Now we need raw silk,

you received it all but threw it away.

Why?

It is regular for Silver City to collect silk.

Extra raw silk should be collected every year.

Also to avoid the accumulation and price reduction.

Almost all industries are like this,

and the court’s regulation for the market

can be reflected like this.

So where did you throw it?

I don’t know...

That place...

However, even if you find it, it’s useless.

That’s right. You may rise.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Si

Chen

Raw silk is best kept in this place.

When it comes to special preservation,

it can only be realized here.

Well,

you see, Your Highness,

this raw silk brings income every year.

But it’s usually collected one month later.

Only this time it was collected very early.

Different from as before.

That’s because new silk will come out soon.

It’s OK for people to collect it at a low price.

But this time,

he did these things

to bully Xinsilu.

But the raw silk

will be taken out in a few days.

If...

Of course, it was sold at a high price to

other places lacking silk.

Unfortunately,

there is no name on the raw silk,

so we can’t find its owner.

You say, in the Silver City,

who can take charge of raw silk and pepper?

Look,

there are some vague records

on it,

which I didn’t notice before.

It seems that the whole black bank

belongs to Du Changfeng.

Then, Your Highness,

would you like to give these raw silk to Miss Long?

The fish is so big

that I don’t want to scare it away.

Bill on Credit

Today, give 1,000 tons high-quality Huzhou Silk to Xinsilu Silk Store on credit

Purchase orders on “critic” for 1,000 tons superior Huzhou Silk.

“Credit”, the word is pronounced “credit”.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I should support it,

but it’s for Master Long at this time.

Master Li,

you even look down on government investment.

My little support

is certainly nothing for you.

Good buddy.

That’s what brothers should do to help.

It works when it’s critical.

Who wants to be your brother?

Good things come in pairs.

Now that Your Highness have come for help,

I’ll do my best to help you.

Fatty, bring it up.

All right.

Look, what it is.

So many raw silks!

Where did you get it?

They belong to those silkworm farmers,

who take it out from silkworm varieties.

However,

these farmers contribute these to you,

their livelihood will depend on you next year.

Of course.

I will repay them twice as much.

Anyway, your promise is just words,

and whether it can be fulfilled depends on yourself.

Right.

Prince Zhao is so useful.

When the prince asks for help,

they dare not help.

It seems that your identity

does a little bit work.

Now that everything has been settled,

don’t worry about it.

Master Long, you promised me that.

I can’t forget. I have prepared for you.

What did you promise him?

None of your business. You don’t need to know.

Your Highness, let’s go.

Here we go.

Wait.

I can wait for you to do business,

but if something happens later,

where can I find you?

Where else could it be?

Of course, the place that makes you blush.

Wuyun Pavilion...

Du’s Mansion

Father.

The housekeeper tells me that you let me go to Chang’an first.

But I still have a lot of luggage to pack.

Moreover,

Xinsilu still needs to be handed over.

Xiaoxian,

when you get to Chang’an,

I’ll buy you a better one.

Don’t take anything but money.

As for Xinsilu,

just sell it quickly.

It’s not a flight.

Why leave in such a hurry?

You don’t understand.

This time I go to work in Chang’an.

Many people are supervising me.

If the settlement is not clear,

do I have to wait for someone to set a trap for me?

More importantly,

prepare gifts in advance

to visit the Empress Dowager and Concubine De.

As the daughter of the imperial official,

you should set your sights high,

and don’t always care about the Silver City and Xinsilu.

Understand?
