Episode 7
You're so happy to eat shit.
Shut up!
The bill!
Coming!
Three bowls of noodles. Three pennies.
Do you have any change?
Shit! That guy!
Hey, Sir!
You haven't paid the bill. How can you leave?
My wallet was stolen!
Three pennies.
I just told you that my wallet was stolen!
If I take some money from my wallet randomly, I can buy ten restaurants like yours!
Three pennies!
Give him three pennies.
I don't have money.
I... I don't want your stone!
I want three pennies.
Stone?! Stone?!
See! This is jade! This is jade from Persia!
It is well made by Persian artisans and is extremely valuable.
Three pennies!
Are you out of your mind?
Three pennies! Three pennies!
You are so wordy! You're the most ignorant guy I have ever met!
If you get the jade, you can buy a big restaurant as well as a grand house in the capital.
Open your mouth!
Let's go!
Three pennies!
Theses are the most expensive noodles I have ever had.
No. This is the most expensive shit I have ever had!
Who's to blame? You're the one who lost the wallet.
How can you say that!
The thief was nearby at that time. Why didn't you notice him?
You should be blamed because you showed off your wealth.
You showed off in the wilderness.
Do you want everyone to know that you are Young Master Jin?
Do you want everyone to know that you are a millionaire?
You're so troublesome! Just shut up!
You lost your wallet because you showed off.
Showing off is the biggest taboo when living in Jianghu.
You may be killed because of this.
You should be grateful since you are alive now.
Why do you know the taboos in Jianghu?
It seems like you didn't learn either how to embroid or how to be a mannered woman when you were young.
What were you doing then?
You even know the taboo in Jianghu!
Is there more people with hidden talents at your house?
Who should that be?
I'm the only girl there, I don't get your point.
What you're saying is all useless.Either way we both don't have money.
Let's wait till we die!~What are you saying?
You wanna die because you have no money?
There's so many people without money.How do you think they live?
Eat shit, you!~You just did!
What? Not convinced?
Then who was it eating shit and saying: "Oh, how tasty!"
Slowly.
How is it, feeling a little better?
Much better.
Don't exhaust yourself, go rest if you're tired.
Miss, I'm gonna treat you three more times with medicine.
I'll prepare it meticulously.
It'll enrich blood, energy and mind.
The mind?
I'll enrich it all.
I'll give you all that you lack.
After those three we'll see the effect. I can always give you three more doses...
...and then you'll be cured.
Come, sit down and rest.
Slowly.
Come.
I'm grateful you saved my life.I will never forget it.
My pleasure.
That you want to take my medicine,is the greatest encouragement to me.
Right, Miss, I still don't know how to call you.
You best just call me Xue'er.
Xue'er. Really nice name.
Seen your accent, you can't be from here.
I'm from Nanjing.
I came to the capital to get married.
Then where is that family's house?
I haven't contacted them for a long time.
I only know they live south of the city.
What's the name, I can help you search.
Don't take the trouble, Doctor Gu.
No trouble, I'm familiar with that area, and you are ill.
When you're better, I'll go with you to find your relatives.
Will you?
Alright.
He's my cousin, called Li.Just that one character.
He's really tall.
He's about 25 years old.
Square face, big eyes, thin lips.
His face is a little red.
Okay!
In a while we will go look for him.
Thank you!
Do you know a Li Mansion in the neighbourhood?
A big enclosed building.
I have no idea.
Is there a big house in this neighbourhood?
Big square face, thin lips, about this big.
No idea.
Steamed buns!
Right out of the steamer!
Take one, just steamed!
Come, buy one.
Here.
Eat.
Where did you get them?
Quick, they're still warm.
I'm asking where they came from.
Weren't we just at a bunstand?
How can you buy them with no money?
Stop caring about it, okay?
You stole them!
No coarse language, okay?
It wasn't easy to just take them.
That's stealing!
So what? It's just two buns.
It's stealing, whatever you call it.
Look at yourself, aren't you hungry? I give you a bun.
Making such a fuss.
Hunger is unimportant.Disloyalty is important!
What's disloyalty if you know someone is gonna die?
I rather die of hunger. I won't eat stolen buns.
Hey, Jin Yuanbao...
Let me tell you, with your Young Master style...
...you are still hungry and poor now.
I can understand your thoughts about the lives of poor people.
But it's stealing.
Stealing means that you're a thief. Don't you know?
A thief?
A poor person who is hungry, takes 2 steamed buns to eat. What's wrong with that?
If you're just riding your big horse all day...
...with enough to eat and drink...
...and steal from thin people, then you're a thief!
Apparently your Jiang family has a knack for twisting logic.
I'll tell you what the state sees as stealing.
Stealing family wealth is stealing.
Stealing a bun is stealing.
No matter if you are common or noble...
...if you steal, it is a crime. Do you understand?
Are you done?
I don't want to hear your nonsense. Do you want it?
Otherwise I'll eat it.
Come with me!
What are you doing?
Steamed buns! Let me go! Come take a look!
Just out of the basket.
Come here. Steamed buns
What are you doing? Let go.
I want to exchange my clothes for buns.
This.. are you kidding me?
I have a little business.
I'm not joking.
Look closely
my clothes are the only one in the city.
The embroidery is from Persia.
I will trade my clothes for your steamed buns.
You've already worn this and it's dirty. How can it work?
How can you be so insensitive!
Boss, I can prove this.
His clothes are really expensive
Trading it for your steamed buns, you won't lose anything.
This.. This
It's already worn. Well you can wash it
Look at the work done, it's definitely worth it.
Ok, then trade it for one tray.
What one tray?
Look at the clothes, the qualities,
If you wore this
then people would line up till the end of the streets to buy your steamed buns.
How about it? Five trays and it's yours.
Two trays
Three trays
Fine, I'll take it.
Good
Take it off, take it off. Waiter three trays.
OK, here you go
Sir, your three trays of steamed buns.
Please enjoy
Your steamed buns are here right?
These clothes are
for you
I look nicer in these clothes than you do
Please enjoy
Looks nicer on him
Dig in!
What kind of steamed bun is this?
With no dried scallop, no shiitakes...
...and no balsamic vinegar...
...how can you eat this?
You traded your clothes for those buns.
At least there is food to eat, stop being picky
Using your clothes to get something...
It's cleaner than your way.
It's not stolen
Let me tell you, you are now the Madam of Jin Mansion
There's a limit to what you can do.
I am the capital city's number one detective
If you steal anything again...
...I won't hesitate to punish you.
Ok, I know
Eating steamed buns doesn't need that many rules.
Minor things will become bigger things.
You didn't understand.
From today onwards
you must understand this principle
What are you looking at?
I suddenly understand what 'depending on what you wear'...
...actually means.
Look how you look in those vulgar clothes.
What? Even more handsome right?
Let me tell you
I see now that you being an outstanding...
...young master totally depends on your outfit.
You in those clothes now.
Look at that mister selling fruit over there.
You're just like him now.
Are you stupid? There's nothing alike
A young master is always elegant.
No matter what rotten clothes I wear...
...I'm still looking incomparably formidable.
Let me tell you the secret.
if I don't wear anything, it's even more...
Even more what? stop flattering yourself
Isn't that the Li Mansion over there?
I don't know
Thank you
Boss
Give me mantou ok, right away
The Shun family's young lady.
Didn't she just get married recently?
Why is she still living at home?
Here's your buns. This is what you don't know.
They found a son- in-law willing to give up his last name. The grandchildren's last names will be all be Shun.
that Sun's little daughter this years is already 28 years old
Her personality is so nasty, and there is someone who actually wants to marry her?
How is he?
A poor scholar
She smitten to him like something
His surname is Li.
He's called Li Jun.
Li Jun?
I don't recall anything
Big Sister, who were you just talking about?
Are you from the Sun family?
No, no. I am looking for Li Jun.
Who is the one you talked about?
On Changqin street, the Sun family.
Just go ask and you will know
Thank you
No problem
Boss, i'll put the money here
ok
Mister, Madam. We're here
Get up, get up!
Get up!
What are you doing?
Where did this beggar come from?
I'm not a beggar, I'm looking for someone
Who? Speak
I'm looking for Li Jun.
Li Jun? I'm Li Jun
You're Li Jun?
That's great! Do you know Miss Xue'er?
What Yu'er or Xue'er? I don't know her?
Who is this? A relative?
I don't know him.
He's speaking nonsense
I don't have this relative
It doesn't matter if you know me. Your Miss Xue'er's older cousin right?
Because of you, Xue'er can't sleep or eat
Li Jun!
When did you have a younger cousin?
I don't know him! He's speaking nonsense
Who knows where he came from?
Did you hear that?
My husband says he doesn't know you
Faking a relative to cheat off us.
I've seen these people many times
No, I'm not, I'm not
Honey, don't bother, let's go
Honey?
What are you standing there for?
Get rid of him!
Go, go.
No, wait Go, go, go
Xue'er. What are you looking at?
Hurry and go away
Miss
Doctor Gu, did you find him?
I found him
How is he?
I think Li Jun
Isn't like what you said
And his wife has a bad temper
Wife?
You must be mistaken
I'm not mistaken.
He said he was Li Jun
And the woman with the bad temper called him honey
No
You are mistaken
Li Jun wouldn't get married
What's wrong?
Miss? Miss?
You've never worn something this dirty right?
Not just me
The lowest servants don't even wear stuff like this
I feel like my body is molding
It won't mold so easily.
Your hair is just messy, taking a bath would solve the problem
How are you not uncomfortable
Your household
no matter how conservative, won't let you wear dirty clothes
I'm what you call unpampered.
My mother taught me
...there are many things in life you can't get.
It's no use crying.
the only thing one can do is calmly deal with it
that's right, i agree
Stay calm and collected.
Your mother taught you well, and you learned very well
My mother is great. Wait till you see her
It's so hot, let's take a bath
I'm washing up first
Then go ahead
But you're a man!
So what? Of course I am.
You will secretly look
Who will look at who? I won't even look even if you pay me
Be honest here
Good
You can wear this
With this on...
...I can be sure you'll stay here.
No peeping, be good!
if we were fated to love each other
Why is there so much pain
what is covering your eyes
that made you not value my efforts
if love is about mutual protection
Why is there so much sorrow and grief?
what is blocking me from going on
no longer feeling pity for you
Even the destined fate has bitter times
we shouldn't care if it's right or wrong
Giving into love isn't considered losing
I just want to spend my time holding your hand
Pervert! Scoundrel! B*stard!
You.. saw it all?
There's nothing to see anyways
Get up!
Stop faking, I don't believe this kind of stuff
Hey! Jin Yuanbao get up!
Get up!
Jin Yuanbao
Jin Yuanbao!
Wake up! Are you alright?
Jin Yuanbao!
Jin Yuanbao
I just want to spend my time holding your hand
What do you want?
Try hitting me one more time
Let me go
Who wants to touch you
Stupid pervert
Sir, is this valuable?
Not at all
I knew I was tricked
That man and woman left without paying.
I knew they were bad people
Look, eating for free
Jade can be fake
But this can't
Tell me where they went
This will be yours
They went over there
To the Dong family's place.
How did you untie yourself?
Do all detectives know how to do this?
Of course not
Only geniuses like me know how
You big-talker!
I've always wanted to ask
You are a big general's son,
why do you want to be a detective?
Why can't a general's son be a detective?
I've hated people wo bully weaker people since I was young.
So I wanted to become a detective
Bullying the weak, isn't that you?
Didn't your mom want you to be a high official?
A detective doesn't need much martial arts.
Just a brain.
How to differentiate criminals
How to find evidence to capture the person is important
All that only requires a brain.
So I think being a detective fits me
You think you're very smart?
I've never seen someone smarter than me
Someone's bragging again
But I've never seen you wear an official uniform.
Are you stupid?
If I do I'll be recognized immediately.
Then how will I ever catch any criminals?
Make sense
Are you never at your office then?
Can I catch thiefs there?
They are everywhere but at the office.
Makes sense as well.
But if you don't know martial arts...
...then how can you ever arrest anyone?
The smart one only has to find out who has to be arrested...
...so that the fighting experts...
...can arrest him. They don't need much brains.
It seems you want to be the city's best detective.
I already am, my aim is to be the world's best detective.
So, are you never afraid when you meet bad guys?
Never.
Really? I don't believe you
These years, everything afraid to me
I'm not afraid of anything
See.. you're afraid
No, I'm not. I'm just standing here so I'm prepared to protect you.
Protect me?
Don't make me laugh! You better think about...
...how you're gonna deal with a wolf.
Hey, I heard wolves attack weak people first.
Come here, you will be safer with me.
Come over here!
I'm not coming.
You coward!
I'm going to get some water.
Hey, where are you going? Come back!
Come back!
Fresh flowers!
I'm telling you guys to keep it up.
We are lacking so much.
Think of something.
Customer, do you want steamed buns?
Excuse me, I was mistaken.
Where did you get that piece of clothing?
This... piece of clothing?
Hurry up!
Excuse me, is Nanjing far from here?
Nanjing?
You're going the wrong way then.
Nanjing is in that direction.
Go to that mountain, and then follow the river.
Thank you.
Hey, we're going wrong the wrong way.
Really?
We shouldn't go that way.
Maybe I was mistaken.
Mistaken?
We've been on this road all along.
Where exactly do you want to take me?
To Nanjing of course!
But I'm a little road-blind.
Why did you take me this far then?
Why didn't you ask me?
Oh, please!
What does a Young Master like you know about roads?
What does a girl like you know about roads?
I...
I've been here before, so I'm more familiar than you.
You're lying.
No, I'm not.
Look me in the eye
Okay, enough, stop fooling around or we will never reach home
Your mother is clearly in Nanjing
But this route is clearly not towards Nanjing
Where are you taking me? Tell me the truth
Please stop fooling around young master Yuan Bao
Stop suspecting me
I'm not taking you anywhere else, of course I am taking you to my mother
Shouldn't we go to Nanjing then?
Don't worry about it, you will understand soon
If you don't tell me the truth, I won't go with you
Jin Yuanbao, where are you going?
I may not know where Nanjing is, but I do know where the capital is.
You want to return to the capital?
You can't go
Why not?
We've gotten this far
Despite all our difficulties, we can't just leave now
Then you tell me the truth
Jin Yuanbao, trust me, I wouldn't lie to you.
You are lying to me right now
Fine, I promise you, once we find my mother, I will tell you the whole story
I want you to explain it now
So annoying
I am asking you one more time, are you going or not?
I'm not going
Don't force me
Told you to listen
Oh, you awoke.
What are you doing?
I'm telling you, Yuan Bao, you forced me to do this
I just wanted you to meet my mother, but you wouldn't follow me
You lousy girl, I'm telling you...
...to untie me.
It's done. I'm still smarter
I know you're an expert with knots.
Even if you wanted to run, you can't
You're crazy
I must take you to my mother
If you don't want to go, I'll just drag you there
Alright, now you can't run away
You crazy woman!
I will behead you, you know that?
Whatever you say, before you meet my mother
...before you've met my mom. Let's go!
Come on
Doctor Gu
Miss Xue'er!
Your wounds are not completely healed yet. You shouldn't be moving about
Doctor Gu, when would my wounds be healed?
We can't be impatient
The medicine I have given you is very effective
Just give me some time and your wounds will be healed
Doctor Gu, please give me the medicine
I want to heal quickly
Oh
This medicine can't be taken just like that
Your body won't be able to handle it
No, I can
I can do it
Is it because you want to quickly find Li Jun
Yes
There are so many people on this earth
Perhaps, the one you saw isn't my Li Jun
There is that possibility
But
You think...
Then give me more medicine
Please, quickly
How is it?
That is my strongest medicine
Do you feel any discomfort?
No, I am fine
I can do it
I've already told you
This sickness can't be rushed, you must be patient
Don't worry, I'm fine
Stop forcing yourself
You wanting to find Li Jun
Isn't an easy matter
I am fine, just let me try
You see, I can walk
Then let me support you, you careful
See, I can walk
How is it? Are you still dizzy?
I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll be fine
She may look weak, but she's got inner strength.
It hard to find a girl as good as her.
It would be great if I was Li Jun.
Hey, are you done playing?
When are you going to let me go?
Who's playing?
Where are you taking me?
You will know when we get there.
Don't give me any nonsense
Let's go.
Sir, I informed the guards we brought...
...from the Jin Mansion.
We only have to wait for them to show up.
And then, Jin Yuanbao will be history.
Well done.
But I think something's strange.
Strange?
Why?
They're not going towards Nanjing at all.
Maybe they lost the way.
Don't think so.
I think they're going somewhere else.
Strange indeed.
If I'm not mistaken, they must cross the river...
...to go eastwards after that.
I'll arrange our brothers to take over the ferry-crossing.
Go.
Yes.
Boatman!
Boatman, we wanna cross!
Okay.
Get on!
Let's go.
Come.
Boatman, we wanna cross the river.
This...
It's a thief.
Said the traitor to the thief.
If you talk again I'll bind your mouth too.
Let's go.
Go ahead.
Are you ready? Let's go.
What is it?
Stop swaying!
Don't sway!
Don't move!
Stop swaying!
Careful!
Jin Yuanbao!
Yuanbao!
Hold on!
Jin Yuanbao!
Wake up!
Wake up! Jin Yuanbao!
if we are destined to love each other
why does it have to be so painful
what is it that covers your eyes
that you don't value my efforts
if love means mutual protection
why does it have to be so bitter
what is in the way of my steps
that I don't feel sorry for you any more
Jin Yuanbao!~Not enough kisses?
You woke up! Thank god!
I was already awake.
You made me do that on purpose!
I think you liked taking a little advantage of the situation.
You really don't know good from bad!
I tried to save your life! You'd wanna kiss you?
What are you doing?
Favors must be repayed. I just repayed you.
The brothers at the river were defeated.
Who's at the other shore of the river?
The Scarred Masters
Don't disappoint me again!
Yes, I'm going.
Think again if you wanna tie me up.
You really think I can't tie you up?
Still not giving up?
How did you learn how to do that?
As a detective you need a little special skill...
...to handle the bad guys.
Can you teach me?
You wanna learn it?
Walking the Jianghu...
Walking the Jianghu?
