[General's Lady]

[Episode 1]

[Various Types of Ironware are Manufactured Here]

Are all of you present?

I'm on a tight schedule today,

so instead of facing you all one at a time,

why don't I take you all on at one go?

Have you all brought those items from home?

Do you understand the rules?

Understand!

Does anyone still have questions?

Say.

That... I-I forgot to bring it with me.

Get lost!

All right.

Lord Jin has won!

Move your meat stall aside

so it won't block the other produce stalls from doing business.

I agreed on the bet, and I have accepted my loss.

Lord Jin has won!

Stop hitting your child. If you persist, you'll be hit instead.

Lord Jin has won!

Go home and spend more time with your wife and kids!

Lord Jin has won again!

- Pay back the debts you owe over the next few days. - Lord Jin won again!

Go home earlier to cook.

Find someone and get married soon.

Don't let your mother worry about you anymore.

Teach the students well.

He has won.

I agreed on the bet, and I have accepted my loss.

Lord Jin, you let me win. (Said politely after winning a game)

Say. What's wrong?

Lord Jin, please help me open up a treasure chest that was handed down to me by my family.

A treasure chest!

So that was your predicament.

You should've told me earlier so I could open it up for you.

Now I've been embarrassed in front of so many people.

I'll go back home with you later to open it.

There's no need, there's no need. It's here.

That must be it. Over here, over here!

No, no.

It's here.

I-It's here.

Okay.

I'll open it up for you.

Let me borrow your hairpin.

It's been opened so easily?

Let me see.

It's empty.

Where's your treasure?

I said... I was referring to the family treasure chest that was handed down to me.

Okay.

Lord Jin, your reputation for lock picking is certainly not in vain.

- "Practice makes perfect." - What?

Lord Jin, you're actually...

You can't go around mouthing off like that.

If that Devil General were to overhear you, he'd think I was a criminal and lock me up.

How could anyone lock you up, Lord Jin?

That's right.

That's right.

Do not say a thing if anyone asks you any questions!

Don't let him get away!

- Lord Jin! - He's run away!

Lord Jin, don't go!

Move aside!

Stop right there!

Move aside! Move aside!

Stop right there! Stop running!

Move aside! Move aside!

Stop right there! Stop running!

That's amazing!

- Stop right there! - Stop right there!

Move aside! Move aside!

Great!

Stop there!

Stop right there!

Did I get it in?

Jinyan, hurry and run.

Run? Continue running.

Not necessary right?

[Rui Royal Manor]

I-

Jinyan.

The Young Miss of the Rui Royal Manor does indeed have national grace and a divine fragrance. (Is an outstanding beauty.)

This Third Young Miss is certainly capable of causing the downfall of a city or state (Descriptive of a woman so devastatingly beautiful.)

and is so lovable and docile.

[Without the Compass and Square, One Cannot form Circles and Squares]

"Without the compass and square, one cannot form circles and squares."

(An idiom by Mencius - without rules, nothing can be done.)

This time the Emperor has bestowed marriage and the Court Painter's services upon us,

but why is that girl Jin the only one having her portrait painted?

Her mother was only a servant who washed feet.

If she hadn't taken advantage of Father while he was drunk,

we wouldn't be idling our time away right now.

Everything she has in the manor, be it food or clothing, cannot be compared to even my highest ranked servants.

How could she claim to be a close relative of mine?

I'm afraid they'll smear our manor's reputation as they're living there in that bungalow.

Elder Sister, do not fret.

It was my servant who approached the Court Painter

and made sure he painted Third Elder Sister

to make her look as delicate as a flower and as refined as a precious jade. (Describing the exquisite looks of a woman.)

You've made her look slightly chubbier.

This... It's better for her to look more ample. It's better for her to look more ample.

Okay.

You can also go down.

Yes.

Why're you still smiling?

You are dismissed.

The imperial edict has arrived!

The Court Painted has just left, yet the imperial edict has already arrived?

Aren't they moving a little too quickly?

Why're you still smiling?

Stop smiling!

By the grace of God,

the emperor proclaimed:

It is said that the young ladies of Rui Royal Manor are virtuous, generous,

gentle, kind-hearted and outstandingly beautiful.

Upon hearing this, I am very pleased.

Yong Nigbo reached his twenties this year,

it is time for him to get married.

A worthy woman should be chosen.

According the seniority order,

the second miss Shen still haven't been betrothed

and is worth be called a match made in Heaven for Yong Ningbo.

To become a beauty,

you have specially been betrothed to Yong Ningbo as his imperial concubine.

Everything was handed to both

the Board of Rites and the Board of Astronomy according to the princess protocol.

The auspicious time is departing tomorrow,

and proceeding the wedding as soon as you arrive.

By the Emperor himself.

Chu Xiuming.

Yong Nigbo.

Devil General!

Father always loved Zi'er the best.

You can't force me to that devilish living hell!

Isn't it letting me forfeit my whole life ?

It's true, Your Highness. You always loved Zi'er the most.

I believe, you won't have the heart to

let her be devastated by that tyrant.

- Your Highness. - What does a married women like you understand!

If I refuse this, it's defying an imperial order!

It's a crime worth being decapitated!

Father, why are you angry at Mother?

Mother is also harbouring pity.

She feels sorry for the girl forced into marrying far away from home.

Jin'Er, it's mother who spoke too much.

Father. I heard the wet nurses of the palace saying

that at that time, second sister was born just a few moments before third sister.

When third sister was born, because of an inborn weakness,

she still isn't on the genealogical record.

The birth of children at that moment was chaotic.

It's unclear who was born first.

It's true, Your Majesty.

After Eldest sister married,

the Rui royal family didn't have any more daughters of the formal wife.

To the emperor, as long as it's a daughter of the Rui royal family, it should be fine.

Selon l'ordre, je ne suis la seconde.

Father, you always said I am pure, because I'm still young.

Thinking like this...

Shen Jin definitely is the second young lady!

You pretend all day long to be the girl of a wealthy family, you didn't learn anything good.

You're an expert at malicious attacks!

Jin'er. Your Majesty.

On the day she was born, Jin'er really came after the second young lady.

Your Majesty, I remember clearly,

Jin'er was born first.

Moreover, the portrait that was sent to the palace today was of Jin'er!

Since things are like this,

this wedding alliance is extremely important to the Rui Royal Manor.

No matter which daughter has to marry,

His Majesty will be thankful in the name of all Rui Royal Manor

and will send her to get married in style.

Good.

She's right.

Let's do according her way.

Then, let's marry Jin'er.

Your Majesty!

Thanks Your Majesty!

Thanks dad.

I-

I won't marry!

If you don't then who will?

Qing'er. Qing'er, come back.

- Miss! -Jin'er, come back!

Because Shen Jin was weak at birth, she was registered in the family book.

His Majesty always remembered it.

Now, as it's time to talk about marriage, His Majesty opened wide the ancestral hall,

he conveniently wrote down Shen Jin's name and birth.

Consort Chen, why are you not collaborating like this?

Jin'er's Eight Characters [year, month, day and hour of birth used for fortune-telling]

even though they weren't resgistered,

but the family has our own record.

I will be direct with you,

Jin'er's thumb print, you have to press it.

I tell you, you must know how to behave in a delicate sitution.

I'm not going to send to my daughter to a living hell.

You're still so stubborn. Get it.

Stamp it, quickly!

- Stamp it! - Let go of me!

- Stamp it! - Let me go!

Let go!

Stop!

- Stamp it now! - Move away! Let go of our mistress!

Move away!

Get out! Get out!

Still pestering my mom? I told you to get out!

Sister.

If you dare touch my mom again, I will kill you.

What are you doing? Demolishing my Rui Royal Manor?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty save us!

This brat wants to kill us!

Big sister was hurt by her.

She's clearly trying to kill us!

It's true your Majesty!

Murderers should be killed!

They are the ones harassing my mom, can't you see it?

You shut up.

Okay. Stop fighting.

We can talk tomorrow.

Right.

Those... those... seize all those people!

Your Majesty! It's Jin who's hitting people.

We are innocent!

If I refuse this, it's defying an imperial order! It's a crime worth being decapitated!

I'm not the second! Shen Jin is the second lady!

- Let me go! - Stamp it!

Stamp it! Put your hand down!

You promised yourself making Jin marry.

How can you go back on your word?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

-Your Majesty! - Enough!

[Marriage Agreement]

Jin'er.

-Jin'er. - Miss!

Miss!

- Jin'er, you can't! - No!

You can't do this Jin'er!

Jin'er, you can't get married!

Jin'er!

From today on

I am Yong Ningbo's young wife.

Mother, you are this dynasty's honorary lady.

Your Majesty, I have a request.

Wherever in the mansion,

nobody is allowed to bully my mother!

I promise you.

Mother.

Jin'er.

It's okay.

Jin'er.

[Great Virtue Gate]

Mother. Qing'er will take care of herself

Jin'er always loved living freely.

Going behind the Great Wall's frontier,

maybe there's a beautiful scenery waiting for Jin'er.

Jin'er only wishes for Mother to never be bullied again

to never be bullied again

and enjoy the rest of your life.

Mother, don't worry about me.

Qing'er. Mother is old.

I don't have any other wishes.

Mother just hopes

that you never need to come back.

Miss, we are leaving town.

[Great Virtue Gate]

Miss, I heard, that this Devil General,

all of his three wives passed away.

So what?

Seeing you speaking like this, then I don't have much long to live.

You'll live to a hundred years!

What I'm saying is that this Devil General is certainly ugly.

He scared to death those wives.

Then I should make myself uglier to scare him.

That won't do.

What if you are too ugly and shock him?

we will all get killed.

If he dares touching me, I'm killing him first.

Don't act rashly.

Always wanting to cause trouble.

I already prepared myself.

Everyone says

he's being the general, I'm being the wife, we won't interfere with each other's life.

If I'm being a servant, I can bear it.

I only ask for not being bullied.

Okay. Then I will stay with you.

Miss, look outside.

Yong Ningbo sent us here to welcome his Lady.

The wedding escort shall now return, without delay.

A small troop like yours still dares to cross my territory.

Where's your general?

You came to give us a present.

Miss! Miss!

What should we do? Will we die here?

Don't be scared Ruoruo. Don't be scared.

We will have a way to get away from here.

I'll go.

Quick.

Miss! Run!

Miss, run!

Miss!

Miss! Miss! Run!

Miss! Are they killing people?

Yes, they are killing a lot.

What people are they killing?

Bad people.

It's a trap!

Great! Great! Great! Great!

Ruoruo.

- Miss, what is it? - Let's go.

- Where? - They left!

Let's go, quick.

Miss, how come so many people died?

They.

Will they come back?

No way! They must have forgotten us!

They forgot about welcoming the bride.

You are right.

They really seem like they forgot us.

Miss, will we die of hunger here?

Even though it's desolate here, but the soil is soft.

If we follow the horse tracks, we can find them.

But they are riding horses.

We don't know how to ride, we can only walk.

How long must we walk?

No matter how long I must walk, I must find the general's manor.

Miss, wait for me!

- Give it to me. - I'm too tired.

Miss, I'll soon be to tired to keep walking.

What is this for?

Don't close the doors! We haven't got in yet!

Don't close the doors! Wait for us!

[Eternal Peace Manor]

Miss, it must be here.

We finally arrived!

It's right here. Chu Xiuming! Yong Ningbo Chu Xiuming!

Open the door! Come out and speak!

- Don't pretend to be dead inside! - Open the doors!

The general's bride arrived! Open the door!

- Open the door! - The general's bride arrived, open the door!

I knocked until my hand got red, how come no one opens the door?

Miss, there must be no one.

Is it that they are not back yet?

I say, they don't dare coming out!

Let's think about a way to get in.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

[Eternal Peace Manor]

Let's go.

This wall is too tall.

I don't believe that I, Shen Jin, can't get in!

Look! There should be fine!

It's okay.

Ruoruo, let's go!

Are you ready?

Ruoruo, come up!

It's okay. Please spare me.

Then wait for me at the door.

Once I'm in I'll open the door for you.

Good thing Ruoruo didn't come in.

- Miss! - What is it?

Give you this.

What is this?

For emergency needs!

I'll wait for you at the door.

Okay. I know.

Such a big general's manor, how come there is no one?

Where's the main gate?

Finally somewhere lighted up!

It's pitch dark.

Even though it's advantageous to take cover, but it's unconvenient to move.

Good thing I'm prepared.

Who are you?

You can't be...

Chu Xiuming's page boy!

Looking at your refined look, you are.

Then I'm not hiding you

I'm your general's wife.

General's wife?

No need to be so courteous.

Can you let me go first?

Don't worry.

I won't tell the General you flirted with me.

But you need to help me do something.

Today when I was in distress, there's one thing I want to ask.

If you help me, I'll repay your kindness.

Where is that devil Chu Xiuming?

Quick, tell me!

Tell me!

Devil?

Look at you this young inexperienced in life, ignorant and ill-informed appearance of yours.

You must not have seen Chu Xiuming on the battlefield killing people without blinking an eye.

It's okay. You're usually in this room cleaning.

It's a fortunate thing.

As long as you tell me where is Chu Xiuming, I'll give you this.

If he's a devil, why looking for him?

Didn't I say? I'm his wife.

He said he'll come get me, but left me behind halfway.

Since you were left behind,

is coming to get married once more?

I walk all this way to get here, not to get married with him.

I came to argue with him.

Marrying me or not is his business, accepting or not is mine.

But he can't leave me behind in a shady manner.

Moreover, I was also forced by circumstances to come here to marry.

Then, leaving me is okay.

But, I can't go back.

How do I explain if I'm going back?

You're just a sloaw coach, there's no use in telling you.

Since you don't know where is Chu Xiuming, you still must know where's the main door?

Tell me where's the main door. My maid is still waiting for me by the door.

Okay, okay.

Thanks for your kindness.

I'm not a spy! I'm accompanying the girl who's getting married!

We came by foot.

I know you are accompanying the bride.

- Where's the lady? - She went in.

Liar! I just came out and haven't seen her shadow.

I saw you talking with this spy when I came out.

You're treating me unjustly!

Miss! Come and save me!

Let her!

- Let go of Rou Rou! Let go of her! - Miss!

Miss! Save me quickly!

Let me go.

This Devil General isn't only a demon, but is also unbelievably ugly.

Having an appearance like this, he really is very ugly.

And dares to bully Ruoruo!

Let her go. Look attentively,

Look attentively,I am your wife. [T/N: Wife and Lady are pronounced the same.]

What are you doing?

Does this mean this demon realized he has a conscience,

or is it that I am naturally the ennemi of demons?

As soon as he saw me, the demon submitted himself to me.

It seems I was destined to act.

Since you recognized my position as Lady,

then you must know where you have been wrong today.

Let's not mention being husband and wife for now.

Let's just talk about how you left me, your wife, in the wild,

- who do you think you are? - General.

- General.

Still General?

You even kneeled in front of me, what face do you fear to lose?

I'm telling you, a mistake is a mistake.

Just acknowledge your mistake. Moreover, I can't do anything to you.

Afterall, you, Chu Xiuming, are a very outstanding person.

It's just that your reputation is a little bit lacking.

Madam, General—

Again General.

I'm calling you Chu Xiuming! What's wrong with Chu Xiuming?

Having a name isn't it to be used by others?

Why do you care about those titles?

You aren't born with those titles and won't bring them with you in the afterlife!

Miss!

General!

You're also the general?

- In your back. - What in my back?

Isn't Chu Xiuming right there? What in my back?

General.

General, Madam came back.

Who is the general?

I am Chu Xiuming.

[Easter egg]

Today's victory, you worked hard.

General, today we beat the Falcon tribe's strongest troops.

Most likely, their strength must have greatly suffered.

The previous three wives were all spies.

General, are you suspecting the new bride is also one?

The Falcon tribe is well informed, using her as a bait is most suitable, but

if it's a spy, bringing her back to the manor to deal with her, there's no way to account for it to the imperial court.

If she was killed by the Falcon tribe, then there's no problem.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

General, this is brilliant.

Where is she?

We only cared about our victory, we forgot about her.

That she's still over there is my fault. I'm leaving right away.

Wait.

Bao Zitou go instead of deputy general Chu.

Yes.

Go back to the barracks first.

Yes!
