=Episode 19=

Mr. Yuan,

you were considerate enough

to book the stall in advance.

If we booked it today,

we would have failed.

Don't

praise me.

You're more confident now, aren't you?

And I didn't expect

all Feiwan Face Cream

was sold out

in just half an hour.

Listen,

it'll be more smooth

once you open the shop tomorrow.

Okay.

I want to play there.

I've already heard

about the Lantern Festival of Haifang,

and it's indeed

bustling.

It's said

adherents

will go to Lantern Garden

to light lanterns for their loved ones.

Miss, take a look.

- Miss. - It's very lively.

- Buy it if you like. - Let's take a look.

I'll go first.

I sewed up your wound today.

One bead for me.

I applied medicine for you today.

One bead for me.

I...

These two things

are the same thing.

I also hid your injury from others.

I'll let you put two beads in the box

for these three things.

Do you like it?

I'll buy it for you.

Madam, how much is it?

I'll buy it.

No need.

I'm just taking a look.

Thank you.

You don't want it?

Let's go.

Please have a look, Miss.

Come on. Take a look, everyone.

(You haven't got married,)

(nor are you Nie Sangyu,)

(so I don't need to think too much about everything.)

Five pence a banquet. It's very beautiful.

(Tonight is the best chance.)

They're very fresh.

Yes, I just picked them today.

Take a look.

Buy one if you like.

No.

Buy one.

Ms. Nie,

I do have a gift

for you.

What is it?

Here is the money.

Give me a banquet of the most beautiful flowers.

Here. It's the most beautiful one.

Thank you.

Ms. Nie,

it's the Lantern Festival today.

We've known each other

for a long time,

and actually...

No, Mr. Yuan.

I can't accept it.

Take it back.

You...

You don't...

I'm just kidding.

We're friends, aren't we?

It's not funny at all.

You freaked me out.

You're very smart,

but couldn't you tell

that I was joking?

Let's go.

My god.

Take it back.

I won't ask for the money back.

Ms. Nie.

Ms. Nie.

I want to take you

to another place.

Where is it?

Let's go.

Well,

my shop is going to open tomorrow,

so I should go back now.

Have fun.

Ning Yuxuan?

Why are you here?

Mr. Ning.

Why are you here?

My shop will open tomorrow,

so I came here

to sell the Feiwan Face Cream for a test.

How about you?

I...

I'm just hanging out.

Since we happened to meet each other,

why don't we go together?

We don't seem to be in the same direction.

I'm taking Ms. Nie

to put lanterns in the river to make wishes.

What a coincidence.

We're totally in the same direction.

Let's go to make wishes.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

Lanterns for making wishes.

Take a look.

Lanterns for making wishes.

Miss,

do you want a lantern for making wishes?

Yes, I want one.

Okay.

All lanterns are here.

Select one you like.

I want this one.

Miss,

this is a lantern for making wishes.

The wish maker should write the name

and put it into the lantern,

then her wishes will come true.

Take it.

(Gui)

(Gui Bai)

Are you sure not to put one?

Fine.

Give him the money.

Sir, five pence.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Do you know

that it's my first time spending Shangsi Festival?

I left my home at a young age,

and at every festival,

I would either be alone

or have a performance.

I always bring

liveliness and happiness to others,

but the happiness doesn't

belong to me at all.

However, it's different now.

I...

I have you with me this time.

How about you?

Are you happy today?

I...

I've never spent any festival.

Could you

not be so boring?

It's a festival today,

but you have a long face

at such a romantic night.

I'll accompany you to spend the festival,

so smile for me.

I don't know how.

Still keeping serious?

You look handsome when smiling.

Everyone.

Everyone,

today is the Lantern Festival,

and we'd like to add to the fun.

Get lanterns by playing ring throwing game.

Ten pence for three rings.

Ten pence for three rings.

Who

wants to try?

- Sir, I want to try. - Me.

Please come here.

Please come here.

Come on.

- Sir. - Please.

Okay, thank you.

Here are yours.

Miss, here are yours.

Thank you.

Let me do it.

Come on.

Misters, please.

Mr. Yuan,

do you also want

the biggest one?

Of course.

You're alone,

so who do you want to make wishes for?

That's my private thing,

so forgive me for not telling you.

But

you married two ladies,

so which one do you want

to light this lantern for?

That's my private thing

and has nothing to do with you.

Please.

Don't be shocked.

Come on.

Mr. Yuan.

Thank you for letting me win.

It doesn't matter.

Hold on.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Mr. Ning,

don't learn from me.

Go on.

It was close.

I did it on purpose.

I did it on purpose.

I'll get it this time.

I'm sure.

It's...

Everyone,

let's

applaud to cheer for the two misters.

Come on.

It doesn't matter.

It's the last ring.

It's the last ring.

Your Ladyship,

something happened. It's on fire.

Your Ladyship.

What's wrong?

The storage is on fire.

What?

Where are the materials?

They are inside it.

Oh, no.

Make way.

Make way.

Do...

Do you want to make wishes with a lantern

for your loved one?

I'm loyal to His Lordship,

but

yes.

Gui Bai,

then

let's...

Mr. Gui,

something happened.

What is it?

Haoxue Cosmetics is on fire.

Haoxue Cosmetics is on fire?

Keep guarding.

Protect the people.

Put out the fire now.

Hurry up.

Put out the fire!

Dear.

Move.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

keep away from the fire.

Put out the fire now.

Dear!

- Stop. - Let me in.

Let me in.

No.

Let me in.

No.

- Let me in. - Listen.

I'm here.

Leave everything to me.

Trust me.

stay here.

Look at me.

Don't stop me.

The only thing I can do

is to protect you.

(I've been liking His Lordship)

(since childhood,)

(and all I want is to light a lantern)

(with him.)

(Why do you treat me like this?)

Tanxiang,

do it.

(Magistrate's Residence)

You're awake.

Do you feel better?

Why am I here?

You fainted just now.

Don't move.

Put out the fire.

Don't worry.

It has been put out

and didn't affect the surroundings.

It was put out?

Here.

The ginger soup was just cooked,

and it's still hot now.

Drink it.

Don't you think

the fire was strange?

Muxu said

she found a burnt lantern

in the storage's right backyard,

so it seemed to be an incident

in others' opinions.

A burnt lantern?

Do you think it's an incident?

I think we can regard it

as an incident.

It seems we have the same thought.

But I'm still worried.

I'm afraid the troublemaker has another plan.

No matter what plans they have,

let's make preparations

and catch them.

Sorry.

It's my fault.

I know you're afraid of fire,

but I still asked you to put it out.

How...

How do you know I'm afraid of fire?

When the kitchen

was on fire,

I saw you

fainted in the bath bucket,

and I thought

your reaction

was related to fire

at that time.

Was it you

that saved me at that time?

Of course.

I've told you that before.

Thank you

for saving me.

Why do you look at me in this way?

Do you want a red bead again?

No.

I want to ask you a question.

Okay, go ahead.

Why are you afraid of fire that much?

I...

Fine.

After all, you saved me,

and I saved you.

We're even.

In fact, I've changed a lot

after you came into my life.

I also didn't expect

that I would go to put out the fire.

It's you

that make me change.

I've never felt it

from others.

Thank you.

Don't let Nie Sangyu

hear these words.

Otherwise, she'll come back to punch you.

Nie Sangyu

has died.

What?

(To Your Lordship)

I searched for

the First Lady's whereabouts under your order,

and after searching along the river for over half a month,

I finally found a clue

in a farmer's house at the riverside.

The farmer saw a female corpse

floated to the side from the middle,

so he set up a grave for her out of kindness.

After opening the grave and having an autopsy,

I found the corpse

had the same clothing as the First Lady's.

And I found

a jade pendant of right moon as the proof.

Nie Sangyu and I

shouldn't have gotten married.

She was determined

to marry me,

and I thought

even if we didn't love each other,

at least we could treat each other well

for our whole lives.

However,

it turned out...

She was pitiful.

No matter what,

it's my fault.

Since I was five,

I have closed

my heart to everyone.

I've done many bad things

whether to her

or to you.

I...

I don't want to be like this anymore.

I...

I think it shouldn't be too late.

What?

Go and clean yourself.

Change into a piece of clean clothing.

Miss Shui.

The wound's scope is big,

so you may have scars.

Don't get them wet during these days.

Okay.

Sorry.

I made you hurt.

I'll do it gently.

It's fine.

You've done well enough.

Gui Bai,

why did such a thing happen

when Haoxue Cosmetics

was just about

to reopen?

Although it was easy

to cause fire at the Lantern Festival,

why was it so coincident?

Why us?

It's my fault.

It must be.

If I could have gone back early,

it wouldn't

have happened.

Don't be guilty, Miss Shui.

I promise

to help His Lordship

find out the truth of the fire.

Please trust me.

I swear to give you a result.

However,

if you meet

this kind of dangerous thing again,

leave it to me.

Don't get yourself injured again.

I didn't think about it carefully back then.

I just

wanted to reduce losses.

After all,

we all devoted

to Haoxue Cosmetics.

As long as I can do something for it,

it's worth it

even if my arm gets hurt or no one wants to marry me.

I do.

I'm...

I'm willing

to go to all excellent physicians

to cure

your arm.

What if they can't cure it?

Then...

Then I'll be your arms

and under your order

for my whole life.

How about Mr. Ning?

I'll also serve His Lordship

for my whole life.

If I want you to make a choice

between me and him,

who will you choose?

I'll choose...

His Lordship.

Nerd.

Ji Man,

I...

I want to put this lantern for you.

It was

my fault.

I shouldn't have kept the truth from you.

From now on,

I won't keep any secrets from you.

Stop being mad at me.

♪Wait for years to portray the scenery of this life♪

Miss Ji Man.

Sorry.

♪Seek the love you never have in this life♪

♪I used to lie in your arms that have snows♪

♪And look at illusions♪

♪Four seasons linger into brocade and dye into silk♪

♪Dressed in red and waiting for years to do the makeup in the heart mirror♪

♪Looking at the rippling waves in the starry river♪

♪And plucking at the strings in my heart♪

It's floating over.

♪It's like a dream♪

Thank you.

I also put a lantern today.

It's floating away.

♪We're destined to meet♪

So beautiful.

By the way,

how are you feeling now?

What's wrong?

Do you feel any pain?

Do you feel any pain?

I'm fine.

You lied again.

You said you wouldn't lie to me.

It's the last time.

The last time.

It better be.

(Ji Man,)

(I promise to light the biggest lantern for you)

(next year.)

(Shuiyan House)

(250 taels)

(Bingyan,)

(I'm living)

(in my cousin's house,)

(and I don't earn money.)

(I collected 500 taels)

(and sent them to you with the letter)

(in case of emergency.)

(After this matter,)

(I hope you can)

(totally give up on gambling,)

(focus on studying and be an official through imperial examinations.)

(If you gamble next time,)

(I really can't help you.)

(I'll pray for you every day.)

(Hope you can be an official through imperial examinations)

(and go on the right way as soon as possible.)

(Your sister, Qian Lianxue)

I hope

it's the last time.

Yao.

Miss Qian.

Ask someone

to deliver the letter to Bingyan as soon as possible.

Yes, Miss Qian.

Miss.

- Everyone. - Come in and take a look.

We have a new discount

and new products.

Our Feiwan Face Cream is very effective.

Take a look.

Our Feiwan Face Cream is very effective.

No.

Bah.

Miss Xue,

I've almost become dumb,

but no customers enter our shop.

Never mind. Go in.

We'll have a way.

We reopened the shop

and have a big discount,

so there should be

lots of customers.

Miss Shui.

Where is my lady?

She went to the backyard to prepare.

Miss Shui,

the moment I thought Haoxue Cosmetics

was about to open again,

I was so excited that I didn't sleep last night.

I was agloat

and wanted to work well,

but

why are there

no customers?

Calm down.

Those ladies

can't know everything in time.

When the news is spread,

I'm sure you'll be busy.

Calm down.

Go on with your work.

Muxu.

- How is it? - How is it?

Have you informed all ladies

of the reopening of Haoxue Cosmetics?

Yes.

Miss Huang of Sea Trade Guild,

Miss Xia and Miss Xie of Jinxuan Pavilion,

and Miss Qiu.

I've met them all.

What did they say?

They said they would come here after finishing their work of this period,

but I don't think

they will.

Never mind.

We can't shut everyone's mouth.

I just didn't expect

those ladies

would believe the rumors.

Sorry to let you feel wronged, Muxu.

Thank you.

By the way,

the fire burnt

half of the materials,

so we must

raise money as soon as possible

to buy the next materials.

It doesn't matter.

Let's wait for some time.

There must be a way.

Be patient.

Go. Let's go on with our work.

Go.

Miss Wen,

no customers

(Haoxue Cosmetics) go to Haoxue Cosmetics today, either.

It works.

It's working better

than my imagination.

She's not powerful enough

to be a businesswoman in Haifang.

Miss Wen,

you're very far-sighted.

After

Lianxiang's matter happened,

the maids

think it's a shame to use Haoxue Cosmetics' products,

and the ladies

naturally don't dare to use them,

even if

they rarely hang out.

We can't take it carelessly now.

When all women in Haifang

think it's a shame

to use Haoxue Cosmetics' products,

this shop

will go bankrupt.

Someone is here.

His Lordship.

Why are you all

look upset?

Your Lordship,

Gui Bai said

he would be my arms,

and I have something to deal with today,

so I need him for a while.

Go.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

Do you have an idea?

Most materials are burnt,

and no customers come to my shop,

so I only have to

reduce the price.

However, the cost is very high,

so if I really reduce the price,

my shop will go bankrupt.

Since there are no customers,

let's go out

to check

other shops' situations.

No.

Let's go.

Even if you stay in Haoxue Cosmetics,

no customers will come,

so you might as well go out

to see how others run their businesses.

I've checked them.

Across from Zuixiang Restaurant,

which is the most famous restaurant on this street,

is

Fanjin Garment Shop.

It has the best hand-made clothes.

This Liang's Apothecary

sells ginseng the best,

and it's limited.

Besides...

You've made many efforts.

Let's go.

Sir, a pot of tea.

Please come in.

Sit down.

Enjoy yourselves.

Sir,

what tea leaves are they?

It tastes unique.

Miss,

it's not made of tea leaves.

It's Gynostemma.

Its color won't fade

after being brewed for four or six times.

Gynostemma is regarded as Southern Ginseng,

but it's cheaper than the real one.

You have a good taste

to open your stall

across from the shop

that is the most famous for its ginseng.

No wonder your business is booming.

Of course.

Rich people

will buy real ginseng

while poor people

have to choose Gynostemma,

whose function is similar to ginseng's,

to replace it.

Enjoy yourselves.

Right.

There aren't only celebrities in Haifang

but also ordinary people.

If they

can't afford the Feiwan Face Cream,

they may look for

substitutes that have similar functions.

If you only target at celebrities,

the market is very small and risky.

And only when you can bring benefit

to ordinary people

will they

come to your shop constantly.

In the past,

I only focused on

finding the best shop

while ignoring this problem.

Sang Shen said

the reason why I made the Scar Recovering Cream

was for sailors

who got sunburnt.

Therefore,

I shouldn't

forget my original aim.

I should offer

all ordinary people

with products

they are satisfied with

and like.

Am I right?

Yes.

Sometimes,

you just go too fast,

and it isn't bad

to have a stop occasionally

to reflect on yourself.

Put them there.

It's enough.

You don't need to bring more.

Miss Shui,

what else can I do for you?

Nothing.

Just stand there.

Okay.

Gui Bai,

why do I live

such a difficult life?

After I left home

and worked in Shuiyan House,

I had to

be obedient to men every day.

Now,

I have my own business,

and Mrs. Ning trusts me very much,

which causes me to think

I can change my life.

But I didn't expect

Haoxue Cosmetics to be like this

after reopening for several days.

Miss Shui.

Don't look down on yourself.

It's because you're here

that the shop's furnishing

looks much better than the others'.

It just reopened today,

and not too many people know that.

I'm sure

it'll be better and better in the future.

I hope so.

No matter what,

I won't give up.

No matter the business is good or not,

the shop needs to

be decorated.

With these flowers added,

more customers

will be attracted there.

I promised

to be your arms,

so I'll do it.

Your...

Your injury.

It's okay.

It's much better after the medicine was applied to it.

Just watch me.

I'll teach you.

Cut it first.

Cut on the bias. Yes.

Match a flower

with a lighter color to it.

It looks

more beautiful now.

(Formula of the face cream)

Add 50 maces more.

How is it, sir?

Madam,

we have Bletilla Striata Powder, beeswax,

and Delphinium delavayi Franch

that you want,

but are you sure

you really need that much?

Here is the thing.

I'm researching

on a new product's formula,

so

I'm not sure

how much I need for each of these.

How about

adding 100 maces more for each of them?

Okay?

Okay.

Take out the money.

Okay.

This apothecary has all of them.

Great.

You need to pay

25 taels.

Sorry?

25 taels.

How could it be?

I think you must make a mistake.

Count the price again.

I didn't make a mistake.

Listen.

200 maces of Bletilla Striata Powder

costs eight taels.

Eight taels?

Yes.

200 maces of beeswax costs 14 taels.

200 maces of Delphinium delavayi Franch costs three taels,

so it costs 25 taels in total.

It's right.

It can't be that expensive.

No.

I helped Her Ladyship

to buy beeswax five days ago,

and 50 maces of beeswax

cost only one tael.

Yes.

Why is the price more than a double now?

It was the price five days ago.

And it changes now.

Well...

No.

No, sir.

Well,

listen.

Although

we're creating a new product,

I promise to buy materials

from you

after I make it

and sell it well.

Please give me a preferential price.

- Yes. - Okay?

Please give us a preferential price.

I'd like to,

but I can't.

I don't care what

you buy my medicine for.

I'm not responsible

for the price in Haifang.

If you need them,

pay me 25 taels.

If you can't afford them,

I can't help it.

You look down on us, don't you?

Don't you know

how rich our lady is?

Yes.

We're rich.

Forget it.

Sir,

we'll check other shops.

Thank you.

Just do it.

I don't think

you can buy them

with a cheaper price.

I can buy your shop

with 25 taels.

Yes.

Never mind.

Let's go.

He actually wants 25 taels.

Give way for us.

My Lady.

You're back.

Yes.

How is it?

My Lady,

the Bletilla Striata Powder and beeswax...

Alright.

Drink some water, and slow down.

Let me say it first.

Let me say it first.

The prices of Bletilla Striata Powder and beeswax

are the same

as the apothecary's we just went to.

It seems they have made an agreement.

Yes.

Besides,

the prices of Symphytum officinale and Delphinium delavayi Franch

almost tripled

than before.

Yes.

And so is the western street.

Really?

Why?

The price of Bletilla Striata Powder

is the same as pearl powder's.

I've asked the shop owners,

and they said

the price

is decided by the guild.

There is a storm on the sea,

and it's hard to transport medicine from outside,

so

they have to raise the price.

They raise the price

because of the storm?

My Lady,

should we buy them or not?

Even if we don't use them in making cream,

we have to use them

to treat Ning Yuxuan.

However,

the price is very high here.

Perhaps there is another way.

Let's go.

My Lady.

How is it?

(Guo's Apothecary)

My Lady.

How is it?

Surely enough,

two maces of Licorice Powder costs only 15 pence.

I said

this apothecary's price is cheaper than the others'.

Great.

Sir,

something happened.

Move.

Close the shop.

Okay.

Close the shop.

Leave.

- Hurry up. - Leave, everyone.

We're closing today.

We're closing today.

We won't sell herbs today.

(Closed) I'm sorry.

- We won't sell herbs today. - No?

Why, sir?

Sir,

we're still in queues,

and why do you close the apothecary?

Yes.

You all know

the herbs' price in Haifang rose.

The reason why I sell them with a cheap price

is for poor people's good,

but the guild knows that,

and they're going to

close down my apothecary.

Please understand me.

Please leave.

- Sir. - Sir.

- Sir. - Please sell more.

Sir,

my daughter is seriously ill.

I beg you, sir.

What about our materials?

What about those poor people?

Mother.

My child is seriously ill, sir.

I beg you.

I really can't afford

other shops' herbs, sir.

Sir.

Muxu.

Please, sir.

How many taels do we have now?

Here they are.

Sir.

- Madam. - What should I do?

Take these taels.

They should be enough to buy the herbs for your child.

Get up now.

Thank you.

You're so kind.

I can save my child. Come on.

Thank this lady.

Thank you.

Don't delay time. Go.

You're so generous.

But My Lady,

how about the materials?

Compared to us,

these people

who can't buy the herbs they want

are the really worried ones.

I have to think about a way.

How dare the Sea Trade Guild

use the excuse of

the difficult transportation?

Yes.

Transportation?

I got it.
