Episode 4
Mother,
I'm sorry.
I will follow your plans.
Okay, okay. Stand.
Father is getting married!
Brother.
You're getting married?
Then we're not building a house anymore?
No, no.
Sir Han said
we could have the wedding here at Zhou Jintang.
Then we don't need these firecrackers anymore, do we? (To celebrate a new home).
Let me return it.
Do weddings not need firecrackers?
Set off firecrackers.
Yes! Weddings need firecrackers too!
Child,
you will not be at a disadvantage as a wife in the Yue family.
My son is an excellent man.
That's right, sister-in-law. In the future, I'll take care of all the chores at home.
I won't let you suffer at all.
Hooray!
In the future, whether times are good or bad,
this rice
has been planted.
What rice?
Planting the rest of our lives.
Regardless of what comes our way,
we are tied together.
These books are from my lifetime collection.
Today, you are returning to your hometown.
Think of them as my farewell gift.
Sir,
I cannot accept these books.
What?
You look down on them because they are not gold and jade?
Is this gift too light?
No, in my heart,
these books are more precious than gold or diamonds.
I know
you have spent many years
collecting all these books.
For them, you could not eat or sleep comfortably.
Such precious items, I really cannot accept.
The one who understand me is Yue Fei.
Here. Take them.
Fei er,
As the saying goes, a good man knows about all directions. (Is very knowledgeable).
You earnestly wish to serve your country.
In the future, you will definitely be an irreplaceable subject to the Song.
I have high hopes for you.
That's why I am giving you these
military strategy books.
You musn't disappoint
me.
I will not forget
your grace in helping me.
After Yue Fei and Li Shi married,
they brought the whole family back to their hometown.
While Yue Fei lived there,
he stayed at Yang Yin County, Xiangzhou, Henan Province.
From then on,
he lived as a farmer and his wife as a weaver.
This Li Shi,
was not only beautiful,
but also extremely virtuous.
She was very filial to her mother-in-law,
and did her best to serve her husband.
Yue Fei
studied in the morning and practiced martial arts at night.
No matter how late he practiced,
his wife would always wait for him
and wipe his sweat away with a towel.
Yue Fei was very thankful,
and the couple loved each other.
Soon, two years passed.
The relationship between the Jin and the Song continued to deteriorate.
There were many conflicts on the borders,
and smoke signals were everywhere.
Move quickly.
Move it.
Move quickly.
I am the Song's Wang Yuan,
a level-five official personally appointed by the Emperor!
How could I suffer such disgrace.
Emperor? My a**.
You have been captured as the great Song's defender.
Your great Song's self-respect
has been completely lost.
Pei!
You nothern barbarians
must not be so arrogant!
Oh Wang Yuan.
Look for yourself.
You're fighting a war, yet you bring so many riches and jewels with you.
No wonder you can't run away.
Anyway, you don't need these goodies anymore.
Use them all to pay your respects to me.
F*** you! Kill me or cut me,
do as you see fit.
A sh*tty official like you
does not deserve to be killed by me.
Looking at the weather, it seems like it will snow soon.
Somebody come here.
Undress Sir Wang.
Let him cool down properly.
This is not good! He has run away!
Han Shi Zhong
So many officials have come today.
Our Fan Lou (the restaurant/entertainment facility) is honored.
Especially since we can see Eunuch Yuan!
It is luck earned from our past life!
I won't say more. Let me make a toast to you.
Let me make a toast to all you sirs first.
To fill the air with some cheer. Good!
Madam Hong, our Eunuch Yuan is in good spirits today.
Why not take out Fan Lou's treasures (women) and show us?
What other treasures huh?
Sirs, why not have some drinks first.
Our Miss Hong Yu
will be here soon.
But you guys should rub your eyes,
because our Miss Hong Yu,
might be too bright for your eyes.
Sure...
"Liang Hong Yu"
Very good.
Good.
Good!
She is very different from the others.
Why don't you invite her up here?
Let us take a good look at her true appearance.
Of course. I will call her.
I will call her.
Greetings sirs.
Greetings general.
Miss Hong Yu's dancing
has subdued me.
This Fan Lou treasure...
is really
the best in the world.
What treasure?
If I have not met the seller,
our jade
would have been sold like a stone.
The rumors are really true!
Miss Hong Yu is both beautiful and talented.
That's right!
Han Shizhong,
I heard you brought back hundreds of injured people
in the daytime,
and killed the head general of the Jin
and saved Wang Yuan.
The emperor heard
and was extremely happy,
thus arousing ruling and opposition parties.
I merely had the support of the heavens and won with luck.
I also understand a principle.
As a general, it doesn't matter how many soldiers
or silver you have,
but the amount of loyalty you have.
The loyal always win and surpass any obstacle.
You flatter me. As a government official,
my underlings
ought to take the lead and fiercely engage the enemy.
Excellent!
For taking the lead and fiercely engaging the enemy,
I make a toast to you.
Here. Thank you, Sir.
Just because you did not fear death
and saved me,
for public or for private,
you must drink this wine.
Yes, you must drink.
Miss Hong Yu.
Should General Han drink this wine?
The General does not relent.
I will drink the wine in his place
to express my admiration.
Miss Hong Yu, you are very straighforward!
Beautiful women really do like heroes.
Today, we feast in celebration of our victories.
Everyone have fun.
Don't be courteous.
Come.
Miss Hong Yu,
you shouldn't only drink wine for General Hong.
Shouldn't you also
drink my wine?
Eunuch Yuan,
don't make life difficult for our Miss Hong Yu.
Our Hong Yu has weak tolerance for alcohol.
How could she compare with you?
It doesn't matter if she has weak tolerance.
But you must definitely drink my cup of wine.
Wine does not make people drunk. People become drunk on their own.
You cannot disappoint
beautiful scenery tonight.
I cannot obey.
Just a lowly woman. How does she dare to act so arrogantly?
How dare dare she act so arrogantly? Ruining my mood.
Sir Jiang,
don't make life difficult for Miss Hong Yu.
Eunuch Yuan, our Hong Yu is young.
She's never been at such a grand feast.
She's has offended you all greatly.
Here, let me make a toast to all of you gentlemen
to make amends in her place.
Eunuch Yuan, don't be angry.
General Han is quite a character.
Not only is he a powerful hero on the outside,
he is also not inferior
in the affections of beautiful females.
Eunuch Yuan is sharp indeed.
He immediately saw though to the inner meanings.
Today, I'll make a sacrifice for a friend
and help you guys out.
Madam Hong, from today on, Miss Hong Yu
will be free.
I will pay you in full later.
Ayo!
Eunuch Yuan! Miss Hong Yu,
the day of your freedom has finally arrived!
Thank him quickly!
Thank him!
Thank you sir for your grace.
I cannot thank you enough.
I completely admire
your helping them.
General Han,
I really envy you.
Tonight you've
aquired both
fame and the beautiful girl.
The hero matches with the beautiful woman.
It is a top exciting event in this world.
Today,
I will be the person to witness your wedding.
And we'll help this heavenly fated relationship.
Come, everyone.
Let's toast in recognition of this perfect union.
Thank you sirs for your kind intentions,
but I really cannot accept.
General Han.
Eunuch Yuan has already been a matchmaker for you.
This is honoring you tremendously.
Why don't you just
be the new groom.
Miss Hong Yu,
that you can wait on General Han
is from the fortunes you earned in your last lifetime.
Shouldn't you thank Eunuch Yuan and all the other sirs.
I thank all of you sirs.
Good!
How did you end up at Fan Lou?
I was born in a warrior's home.
My father and brothers had all been awarded for their services in war.
And after two years, the Fang La rebelled.
Because my brothers and father missed the opportunity to fight,
they were convicted and beheaded.
And our entire family was sentenced to death.
Some ran,
others died.
I unluckily ended up at a brothel
and suffered setbacks and loss.
So that's what happened.
My life is rough.
I've long been disheartened.
If Eunuch Yuan had not payed for my freedom
and gifted me to you,
I would only be able to admire your courage.
How could I have dared to have other thoughts?
If I can live the rest of my life with you,
it would be greatly fortunate for me in this lifetime.
General.
It is said that the heroine Liang Hong Yu
was a warrior's daughter.
She and the Song hero Han Shizhong
met each other
and fell in love.
They sincerely loved each other
with profound feelings.
Kill!
The Jin have strong warriors and horses.
Jin Wuzhu is powerful and cannot be defeated.
At the moment, how should we fight this war?
If only we had Yue Fei here.
Then that Wuzhu wouldn't be able to act so wildly.
Exactly. Yue Brother's martial art skills are amazing. If only he were here.
Yue Fei? Wait.
Where is he right now?
He farming in the countryside.
Go find him immediately! Niu Ge, Wang Gui.
Yes.
Although we failed in this battle,
the government will soon give us a great task.
You two must hurry
and bring back Yue Fei in three days.
Yes sir!
Tomb of Teacher Zhou Tongzhi.
Father!
Teach me martial arts!
If I learn successfully, no one will dare bully me.
Foolish child.
Remember.
Practicing martial arts is so that one day you can protect your family,
and face your enemies on the battlefield.
Do you understand?
Come.
The connections between heart and mind,
mind and energy,
and energy and power
are the three inner connections.
The connections between hands and feet,
elbows and knees, and shoulders and waist
are the three outer connections.
What is it?
Are you unhappy again?
When I see Xiao Yunzi practice martial arts,
I remember the past.
Being tied together with me,
you cannot fly anymore.
I can still fly,
but I cannot bear to fly away alone
and leave my entire family to you.
I am fine.
The fighting has begun again in the north.
I know you wish to return to the army.
I can't keep anything from you.
I just want to ask you one thing.
Husband,
when I give birth to the child,
see the child once before you leave.
I don't want the child to be like A Niang,
unwilling to call you Father.
I promise you.
You are pregnant now.
We won't discuss this now.
Xiao Yunzi, we're going home now.
Master,
you and Yue Fei are like father and son.
Please keep him safe and sound.
Take it slow.
Let's go.
Come brother!
Drink!
Brother, before we left,
General Liu commanded us
to bring you with us to report within three days.
Yeah. Three days?
Isn't that too fast?
Even if we left tomorrow morning, we wouldn't have enough time.
It doesn't matter. We can make it.
After we finish this jar of wine, we'll leave.
Niu Ge, we haven't see Brother Yue in two years.
One jar of wine isn't enough!
Then what?
We need at least three jars!
Three jars!
After we drink these three jars, we'll leave.
Brother, drink!
Drink.
This Sir Liu is really something!
There are so many people that can do the work,
yet he has to ask for Fei er.
And he came in such a hurry to call him back.
You're about to give birth.
I feel really uneasy.
Mother, the country is in danger.
Of course Yue Fei should go.
You really think so?
When I married him,
I knew this day would come.
It's just that...
Do you hope that he
can see his child once.
And they want three jars of wine!
Sister-in-law,
we need another jar.
Coming.
Xiao E.
You're about to give birth!
Quick, carry her inside!
Xiao Hui! Coming!
Quick, carry her inside. You guys can't come inside.
Go boil some water.
Quick, get out.
Get out.
Close the door. It's okay.
Brother,
Is she giving birth?
Yeah.
That's a dumb question.
What should we do?
Use your strength, Xiao E.
Use your strength.
Good, good.
Use your strength.
Brother,
what should we do?
Look, I'm even more anxious than you.
Xiao E.
Hold on. Push harder. What's taking so long?
Brother, stop walking back and forth.
It's almost over.
Push harder!
Why is the baby still not out yet?
Please protect both the mother and child.
She gave birth!
It's a son!
Quick, come inside!
She gave birth!
Here, let me carry him.
Come look at your son.
Look at your son.
Give him a name.
On this dark night, Song gave me thunder and lighting.
Let's name him Yue Ting. (Ting is the second character in the word thunder).
Call him Yue Ting!
