[The Sword and the Brocade]

[Episode 14]

[Rear Law Court]

My Lord.

You can set your mind at rest now, My Lord.

[Official Document]

I hope that after this experience, Zhun can become stronger

and get rid of his weakness of the past.

As far as I am concerned, being your son

is the hardest work in this world.

Your words are not exactly right.

What is wrong with my words?

Putting it exactly, being my son is the second hardest work in the world.

Then, what is the number one hardest?

To work as my deputy general.

My Lord, I was wrong.

How are you doing with the investigation?

I have completed it.

It was Mrs. Liu of the Xishan Villa who had put the dog in the box

when the cargo was carried to the warehouse.

Then she gave it to Concubine Qiao.

Zhun fell ill when Mrs. Liu

brought a dog to our mansion.

And then Mrs. Liu was sent away.

What a coincidence!

My Lord, you are thinking that

since the dog that caused Zhun to fall ill

was given to Concubine Qiao by Mrs. Liu,

so Zhun didn't fall ill by accident.

We can't jump to a conclusion about this now.

Whether this dog was presented by Mrs. Liu or not,

there is no proof that Lianfang knew it was carrying an exopathogen

and would do harm to Zhun.

So, Mrs. Liu is the important witness in this case.

But now her whereabouts are unknown.

My Lord, don't worry.

Wherever she is hiding now, I will find her and bring her back.

My Lord,

as for Zhun's recovery from illness, you should thank one person decently.

If Her Ladyship hadn't been scrupulous enough to find the source of illness,

Zhun's life might be in real danger.

♪ There is a rooster ♪

♪ It can fly ♪

♪ It has been bought with three copper coins ♪

♪ It has been brought here from Sichuan ♪

♪ Its feathers are in all colors ♪

Now, Zhun is out of danger.

You can feel relieved now, Your Ladyship.

You have been tiring yourself during this period of time.

Now you must have a good rest.

However, Great Madam is partial to Concubine Qiao.

Your Ladyship, how do you like my massage?

You are applying the right strength.

It makes me feel very comfortable.

Even if Concubine Qiao didn't harbor evil intentions in the case of the dog,

how could she prove her innocence in the case of you being kidnapped later?

Now, Mrs. Liu and the two guards vanished into thin air.

I don't believe that she was not involved in this.

Think about it.

If people found that my chastity was defiled after I was kidnapped

and then Zhun died of the tinea,

what result, do you think there would be?

The result would be that His Lordship would lose both his legal wife and his legitimate son.

Given Great Madam's partiality for Concubine Qiao,

it is very possible that she would be made the legal wife of His Lordship.

In this sense, Concubine Qiao has plotted this series of evil doings.

She is so evil and cold-hearted.

If she continues to be in charge of the family affairs,

I am afraid Her Ladyship and Zhun will fall into danger again.

It is a pity that we don't have conclusive evidence.

Why is the evidence necessary?

In the whole Xu Family, except Concubine Qiao,

who has the mind to harm Zhun and Her Ladyship?

The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.

Based on the current situation, I can't stay forbearing any more.

Well, what is your plan, Your Ladyship?

First of all, I can't allow her to continue taking care of Zhun.

You want Shiyi to take care of Zhun

in the coming days?

I am not objecting to your proposal.

My worry is just that Shiyi is still young

and she has no experience of raising children,

so in some matters, she might not be well-advised.

This time Zhun recovered his health thanks to Shiyi.

Besides, she has her way to make Zhun obey her.

So she is the most suitable person to take care of Zhun.

Though she rendered great service in Zhun's recovery,

Lianfang and the others also helped a lot.

She helped a lot?

I am thankful that she didn't do a disservice.

Great Madam, I also think His Lordship's words make sense.

After all, Zhun is Her Ladyship's son in name.

Mother,

Shiyi is the legal wife of His Lordship

and the sister of Zhun's biological mother Yuanniang.

Though she didn't give birth to Zhun, they are bound by blood.

It is justifiable for her to bring up Zhun.

Great Madam can't bear to see Zhun grow without a mother, right?

Since you all said so,

let it be so.

However, Zhun must continue to live in my place.

Of course.

You love Zhun so dearly, Mother.

It is his blessing.

Why did His Lordship suggest Her Ladyship take over Zhun?

If Her Ladyship and the legitimate son become closer,

your interests will be greatly jeopardized, Madam.

We'd better figure out other ways to deal with it.

Madam?

Let's drop this topic.

I am more worried about another matter.

What is it?

I don't know whether I got it wrong.

But I have a feeling that

His Lordship has changed his opinion of Her Ladyship.

It seems that he has started to trust her.

That's because she has taken advantage of Zhun's illness

and gone to all lengths to impress His Lordship.

But she has successfully made His Lordship look at her with new eyes.

I tried so hard.

I have been trying so hard, but failed

while she won hands down.

Tell me.

Have I helped her unknowingly?

You are so skillful with your hands, Your Ladyship.

Everything made by you is beautiful.

Your Ladyship, Zhaoying is here.

Your Ladyship, His Lordship ordered me to bring you this.

He said that this was a reward for your hard work over this period of time.

What is it?

It is the brocade-feather fan.

Brocade-feather fan?

This brocade-feather fan is made of lustrous and resilient feathers.

The more unusual thing is that the feathers look gorgeous and bright

and possess a natural charm.

I guess it must be very valuable.

Your Ladyship, you don't know but it was made by His Lordship himself.

Thank His Lordship for bestowing it on me.

What else?

Your Ladyship, such a classy brocade-feather fan is rare even in the imperial palace.

Your Ladyship, so don't you think...

Dongqing.

What? Isn't it enough?

Yes, it is enough.

Thank you for your reward.

If you don't need my service now,

please allow me to take leave, Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship, all servants of the Xu Family want some rewards when doing you a little service.

The monthly payment we managed to save up

is not enough to cover all these expenses.

You've got a point.

It seems that we have to figure out a way to deal with it.

Dongqing.

Don't even think of it! No way!

I have no private savings.

I want to ask you to put away the fan.

My Lord, you look a bit perturbed.

My Lord, the brocade-feather fan you gave Her Ladyship

boasts beautiful and bright colors and is really precious.

When Her Ladyship receives it, she must be very grateful.

I guess she might be heading here together with Zhaoying.

I am not expecting

she will come to extend thanks after receiving my gift.

- Zhaoying. - My Lord.

Why are you back alone?

Her Ladyship accepted the brocade-feather fan and she asked me to

extend her thanks to you.

What else?

That's all.

How could that be all?

What's more,

Her Ladyship rewarded me with silver.

It is enough to know that she accepted the fan.

I hope that in the coming days,

she can take care of Zhun more devotedly.

Linbo,

would you like to patrol the city tonight?

No, I'd rather not.

Seeing that you are so concerned about the safety of the populace of the capital city,

I think I must allow you to do that.

Otherwise, I will dampen your enthusiasm for

- serving His Majesty and protecting the people. - That's not my actual thought.

Zhaoying, prepare food and water for him.

- Yes, My Lord. - Hurry.

Yes, My Lord.

My Lord! My Lord!

Zhaoying!

- Try again. - Zhun.

You almost succeeded.

It is lucky that Marquis distinguished right from wrong and handled things fairly,

as a result, you didn't suffer wrong.

We outsiders only know that he is serious and majestic.

We never expected that he also has a soft side.

Stop talking about me.

How have you been doing recently, Wuniang?

Is everything going well in the family?

Yes, everything is fine with my family.

The only problem is that I am always so idle.

It is not a good thing.

I have to find something to do.

Now I am planning to start a business to make money.

Are you interested in joining hands with me?

What is the business?

I want to open a dried fruit shop.

I have decided on the store.

It is located on West Street.

A lot of people will pass by.

I think the location is good.

I have also found the source of goods.

It sounds good.

But it entails a lot of money, right?

Yes.

If we do it together,

we can each contribute 100 taels of silver as capital.

I think that will be enough.

Let me work out the accounts for you.

The rental of the store will be fifty taels of silver per year.

We can first stock our shop with half of the goods.

All the assistants will be our own people.

We only need to fill their empty stomachs at first.

After a year,

we will be able to earn 200 or 300 taels of silver at least.

I know that now you are not the past you anymore.

A profit of 200 or 300 taels of silver is no longer attractive to you.

But think about this.

If you can make this extra amount of money,

you will be able to buy some rouge and face powder.

Isn't that nice?

This is the first time for me to hear this, Wuniang.

I am not sure about it now.

Could you please grant me several days to think about it?

Then I will give you a reply.

Okay. No problem.

But you'd better hurry.

The Spring Festival is around the corner.

Every family will buy boxes of dried fruit as gifts

to visit their relatives.

Have you heard of what happened to Erniang?

Wang Yu got drunk a few days ago.

Then he fought with others in the street.

Unexpectedly, he messed with someone that cannot be trifled with.

The opponent kept causing our sister trouble for quite a few days.

These days, Erniang has been harassed by this matter greatly.

She likes to prevail over others.

She is not willing to have dealings with us.

When she is in difficulty, she won't tell us naturally.

That's because she doesn't want you to belittle her.

She treated you so badly in the past.

But for me, she is still a sister to us

though she had been acting arbitrarily and imperiously

before we all got married.

When I heard that her life is not going well,

I feel sad for her from the bottom of my heart.

I will say nothing more.

The more I say, the more worried I will be.

It is late now. It's time for me to go back.

If not, my husband will worry about me.

Please think carefully about the matter I talked about with you.

I got it, Wuniang.

Take care on your way back, Sister.

Your Ladyship, your monthly payment is only 20 taels of silver.

How could you manage to pool 100 taels?

Lady Wuniang thinks that you are really living a wealthy life now.

Money is not the most important thing.

It is true that Wuniang came to me because she is short of money.

But more importantly,

she wants to take advantage of the Xu Family's reputation.

I'd better handle this matter prudently.

[Duke Mao's Mansion]

Yu'er really went too far.

How could he hit you in the face?

Your face is so pretty.

Don't blame him.

It is my fault.

Since his childhood, I have been meeting all his needs

and pampering him.

But I know he has a kind heart.

If he hadn't got drunk,

he would not have done such a rude thing.

These are all my dowries.

This headdress is made of the coral from the South Sea.

It is very precious.

This dangling head ornament was bestowed on me by Her Majesty.

I value them a lot all along.

Now I want you to have them.

It is normal for a couple to fight sometimes in married life.

You need to be obedient to him and say nice words to him.

I think if you do it, he won't cause you so much trouble.

Now the most important thing for you to do

is to bear our Wang Family some offspring.

As long as you can bear him some children,

I will reward you handsomely.

Children?

I got it, Mother.

I am glad that you understand.

If you can bear him some children,

I think Yu'er will quit his monkey business.

Have a good rest to recuperate.

I am leaving.

How can such things compensate me?

I am not that cheap.

Children.

Who wants to bear him children?

Young Madam.

Nobody respects me as a human.

It is the Luo Family's fault.

It is Luo Shiyi's fault.

She pushed me into the abyss of suffering.

Should it be put here, Mrs. Zhou?

It is not good. It's not good.

Carry it here.

Dongqing.

Dongqing,

what business has brought you here?

Is there any order from Her Ladyship?

Mrs. Zhou, here is the thing.

Several days ago, when Her Ladyship went to the Xishan Villa,

she found some old fabric in the warehouse there.

She thought that the fabric would go to waste lying there.

It would be better to donate them to the poor people.

It will be a good deed.

Her Ladyship is so kind.

But all the unused fabric in the mansion are stored in the villa.

Is it proper to give them to the poor people without any gain?

Mrs. Zhou, do you remember whose abodes have the fabric been sent to?

If we obtain the relevant information,

we can avoid such fabric when making donations.

Please don't be hard on me.

It has been a long time.

How could I remember clearly?

Nevertheless, records were created back then

about the storage of the fabric.

If Her Ladyship wants to know, she can go refer to the records.

Your Ladyship,

both the account book and the key are in the hands of Concubine Qiao.

Only she can check the records.

Well, I am sure Concubine Qiao won't show us the records.

So we have to figure out another way.

Your Ladyship, but you should take charge of the household affairs of the Xu Family in the first place.

Now, she is in charge and our hands are tied in everything.

It really makes me feel bad.

[Mansion of Xu]

Sister-in-law, I invited you to my place today

to ask for a favor from you.

What can I do for you? If there is anything I can help you with,

don't hesitate to let me know.

Wuniang told me that she wanted me to contribute some capital

to her dried fruit business.

It is an excellent idea.

But it came to my mind that

doing business would involve money inevitably.

If something goes wrong, Marquis might be affected negatively.

On the other side, she is my sister.

If I don't help her and cause her to hate me,

it will also be a great loss.

If I refuse her directly, I am afraid that she will feel humiliated.

So I want you to mediate between us in this matter.

We have the same idea.

Wuniang also invited me.

It is a small business.

With so many people involved, there may be arguments in the future.

Well, if she really wants to start a dried fruit shop,

each of us might as well invest fifty taels of silver.

Lending or giving, we are doing her a favor.

That is a really good idea!

It's a deal.

I have some things I need to do today.

I'll be on my way.

Take care.

We are spending our savings.

Money goes in one hand and out the other.

We can always be frugal.

After all, we will get a payment next month.

Wuniang has been nice to me.

I should help her when I can.

Look at that!

[Virtue of Modesty and Patience] Your Ladyship.

It's so beautiful.

Zhun is coming.

Your Ladyship, Zhun has been asking

to pay a morning visit to Your Ladyship.

Good boy.

The weather is getting hot.

But your hands are still cold.

Come, let's go shuttlecock kicking.

I'm a boy.

I don't play this kind of game.

Well, perhaps you refuse to play the game

only because you are not good at it.

What? I'm so good at this game.

I don't buy it.

Would you mind competing with Dongqing and Amber?

No problem. I am not scared.

Let's go. Let's go.

I won! I won!

Like I said, you are no match for me.

Amber, it's your turn.

Zhun, please let me off.

I really don't know how to kick the shuttlecock.

No way. I won't let you go unless you play against me.

- Zhun. - Just play with me.

Play with me.

Just for a while, please.

- Zhun, I am really bad at this. - Just for a little while, okay?

Zhun.

Yu!

Come and join Zhun.

I'll get him here.

Dongqing will play with you, okay? Come.

I just want you to play with me.

I'll try.

See?

You lost.

It seems you are having fun.

My Lord,

Zhun is having a shuttlecock match.

Dongqing and Amber are no match for Zhun.

Only girls play shuttlecock.

Zhun should stay away from this game.

My Lord, I beg to differ.

Shuttlecock kicking has been popular among kids since Sui and Tang dynasties.

Zhun is born weak.

And practicing horse stance is too boring for him.

It's a good thing that he finds kicking shuttlecock interesting

and is willing to exercise and build himself up.

This shuttlecock is light and delicate.

Did you ask someone to buy it?

My Lord, this shuttlecock is invaluable.

It was made by Her Ladyship.

I can tell that you spent a lot of time on it.

Thank you for caring so much for Zhun.

I'll leave the capital on business in a few days.

Knowing that Zhun has been taken good care of by you,

is a great comfort to me.

Nanny Tao, take Zhun away.

Yes.

Zhun, let's go inside.

My Lord, is there anything wrong?

After several days of heavy rain,

there is raging floodwater.

Many villages of surrounding counties have been submerged.

People affected have lost their homes.

They begged all the way to the capital.

The Ministry of Revenue shall take care of the refugees.

Money is tight.

I will be held to account if refugees become bandits

due to inefficient aid.

The weather is getting hot.

My Lord, you need light clothes and water.

I've got it ready.

My Lord, what are you looking at?

I've never once seen you

using that brocade-feather fan that I gave to you.

That fan is delicate and rare.

It is a shame to use it during normal days.

It is not a shame if you make the most of it.

It seems you are not being polite enough.

You did not even thank me for giving you a gift.

Well, I really don't know how to thank His Lordship

for giving me such a precious gift.

His Lordship will leave the capital. It's a long way away.

He will be trekking up hills and crossing waters.

Your Ladyship, you might make a pair of shoes for His Lordship.

That sounds nice.

The Yellow River flooded.

The city is full of refugees.

Lingyi plans to cooperate with high-ranking officials in the capital

to set up soup kitchens to provide the refugees in the capital

with porridge.

They are doing something good.

Hid Lordship is benevolent.

It is supreme goodness to tide people affected over.

You've been running the household affairs for a while.

You are very considerate and reliable.

I want to trust you with disaster relief.

- Great Madam... - Lingyi keeps people in his heart.

He will appreciate you

handling the issue well.

Great Madam, thank you for trusting me.

I will handle the whole thing appropriately.

I will never bring shame to the Xu Family,

to Great Madam, and His Lordship.

Sure.

My Lord.

It's so late. What brings you here?

My Lord, you will be traveling a long way.

I made this pair of shoes for you, in case you need them.

I've heard that you're a marvelous embroiderer.

Well, it seems there is nothing special about your embroidery.

The stitches are not well aligned.

The bottoms are too thick.

Well, should I take it back and rework it?

I don't think so.

The shoes are not elaborate.

But they look nice.

That doesn't work.

I should make adjustments to them.

I don't want you to wear uncomfortable shoes.

It is a gift from you.

I will accept it anyway.

I'll try them on.

New shoes are tight.

Let me help you.

There you go.

Okay.

Do the shoes fit, My Lord?

Perfect.

Zhaoying!

At your service, My Lord.

Where are my shoes?

They are right under your feet.

I mean that pair of shoes.

Which pair?

The pair made by Shiyi.

Which pair made by Her Ladyship?

All right, My Lord.

I might as well change to another pair of shoes.

What's wrong with the new ones?

My Lord, why do you need to change shoes?

You talk too much.

Wrap them up.

It turns out that you don't want to get new shoes dirty.

Scouts in the Western Region are rare.

[Account Book]

How did it go?

Madam, the soup kitchen has been built.

The service has begun.

I have never seen a line that long.

The refugees say all the good things about the Xu Family.

Great Madam has trusted me with this.

I am set to do it right.

I cannot afford to make any mistake.

This way, we will be confident in front of Shiyi.

Madam, you are right.

Please rest assured. I will do the whole thing right.

Sure.

Qiuhong, tell me.

Which one looks better?

Well, in my opinion,

they both look nice.

I regret even asking you the question.

You don't get it.

I think this one looks better.

Madam, Young Madam Wen is here.

She is here?

What brings you here today?

You have no idea?

What happened?

The Xu Family now purchases silk from the Zhang Family.

It's...

We've been purchasing silk from the Wen Family all these years.

What happened?

Are you aware that Madam Zhang has been close to the Qiao Family?

You mean, Concubine Qiao is behind this?

Now, merchants who do business with Xu and Wen Families

start to doubt if the Wen Family has lost the support of the Xu Family.

Many of them are starting to do business with the Zhang Family.

It's a big loss to us.

It is really serious.

Your brother said he might not be able

to pay you a monthly dividend if the problem remains unsolved.

Dear, you need to figure out what to do.

Calm down.

I'll have to give the matter a little thought.

It will take some time to figure it out.

Dear, a word of caution.

The marquis got a new wife.

He might be too busy to take care of you.

You will need to rely on the Wen Family if you want to live a safe life

with your son Yu.

I understand what you said.

- But... - There is no but.

We are counting on you.

I should go.

We are still looking for a way to get rid of the unsold inventory.

It turns out that Concubine Qiao is a callous woman.

It seems hard days lie ahead.

Perhaps you have no choice but to ask Concubine Qiao for a favor.

The time has come when I have to put my pride aside.

I've heard about your charm and gracious living.

Today,

[Account Book]

I get to see it.

You are gracious, as a legitimate daughter of a prestigious family.

As you know, I come from a merchant family.

I didn't see much about the world.

If I ever said anything that offended you, I never meant it.

Please forgive me.

It's no surprise that the daughter of a merchant family is bad-mannered.

Surely, I will not sink to your level.

This Jade Ruyi (T/N: means as you wish)

looks good in your room.

This is made of Lantian jade.

It is hard to find such a pure jade.

It simply looks perfect for this room.

Rare as it is, my family is not short of invaluable jade articles.

You are welcome to take it back.

You come from a wealthy family.

It's no surprise that these things don't appeal to you.

But this Jade Ruyi is a gift for you.

I'm not a jade connoisseur.

It would be a shame for me to have it.

Please take it.

In that case, I should return the favor.

Xiuyuan, take out the brocade that I just received.

It's my gift to you.

The brocade...

is so smooth and delicate.

You don't have to do that.

This is from the brocade shop of the Zhang Family.

They produce top-level brocades, with which those unestablished brands

can never compare.

Now I'm in charge of the household affairs.

I cannot allow my family to wear those vulgar and ridiculous clothes.

Don't you think so?

That's right.

I'm tired.

Xiuyuan, send her out.

Madam, please.

Have a good rest.

I should be on my way.

In the past, I would never have tolerated her impoliteness.

Madam, calm down.

We are at the end of our rope.

We are living under her roof. We need to obey her rules.

Concubine Qiao now holds dominion over the business of the Wen Family.

You should focus on the big picture.

By the way, your money can last you the whole life.

As far as I'm concerned, you're putting yourself

in a dilemma, feeling miserable.

You might as well play dumb and breeze through life.

In this world, no one can breeze through life.

I wish I could.

I guess I'm not that lucky.

In the Xu Family,

wives and maids respect me only because of my money.

Without the support of the Wen Family, there is no flow of capital.

The money stays in the account.

We'll be depleting all the money.

It can sustain us only a few years.

With the support of the Wen Family, there is a flow of capital.

Money will be making money.

It is our golden goose.

If I stay out of the business of the Wen Family,

if I don't rely on the Wen Family,

can I count on His Lordship?

His Lordship is not a callous man.

I don't see any reason why you can't count on His Lordship.

We have been

estranged for a long time.

Madam...

As for the future,

I don't care much about myself.

But I have a son.

So, no matter how difficult the future may be,

I will carry on.

[Nature of Jade and Gold]

[Nature of Jade and Gold] "Broaden the minds.

Bring benefits to the people.

Carry forward the great knowledge of the sages.

Bring peace to the world for generations to come."

Yu, what are you reading?

You look so absorbed.

Mother,

I am reading the Hengqu Sayings of Zhang Zai,

a great master of the Northern Song dynasty.

Really?

Well, tell me what these sayings are about?

They are about the truths of study.

That we are expected to read books of the sages in order to build

a vibrant society, show the way for the people,

carry forward the knowledge of saints like Confucius and Mencius,

and lay the foundation of sustainable peace for generations to come.

Well, it sounds like a load of hocus-pocus.

That's absurd.

Why make it sound so deep?

Mother, you can understand the meaning?

Of course I can.

It says that you should study hard,

make a name through the examinations and become successful.

Then, we can live a safe life

even after we leave the Xu Family.

Master Zhang didn't mean that at all...

[Le or Yue] (T/N: fourth tone, means music or happiness)

It will be a great relief to me

if you get scholarly honor and official rank.

Concubine Qiao is very pretentious.

She would love to put up a front with calligraphy and paintings.

I know what to do.

Mother, what are you saying?

What calligraphy and painting?

[Mansion of Xu] The devastation is sweeping.

The thought of poor refugees keeps me awake at night.

It would be nice if I could visit Ci'an Temple with Great Madam and Second Madam.

I heard that you've been serving porridge at the soup kitchen these days.

You've done a lot.

I'm sure the refugees can feel your benevolence.

The soup kitchen is currently our top priority.

Therefore, you must do it right.

That is what is expected of you.

Do remember one thing:

you should be very careful.

Great Madam, you may rest assured that I will do as you say.

Bear that in mind.

[Mansion of Xu] Let's go.

♫ In my life, I can draw everything but lovesickness ♫

♫ The mountain city is waiting for the rain ♫

♫ I am waiting for you to pass in my memory ♫

♫ The sky is in a more lonely color than your face ♫

♫ The wind rises and the candlelight flickers ♫

♫ The thin clothes can't stand the cold days ♫

♫ Full of twists and turns, fate is untold ♫

♫ I ground my thoughts into ink ♫

♫ But I still can't sketch your contours ♫

♫ How could the ink and paper exhaust our stories? ♫

♫ Who picked up the pen to disturb the heart ♫

♫ Who visited to remind me of the past? ♫

♫ If feelings can be kept in mind, but cannot be confessed ♫

♫ I won't escape from whatever end ♫

♫ In the dim lantern light, with you there is me ♫

♫ Who picked up the pen to set free lonely tears? ♫

♫ Whoever visited my life, only you stayed every day ♫

♫ If the moth doesn't fly into the fire ♫

♫ How can it be said to be persistent? ♫

♫ Coming to the end of your story, there is me ♫
