Honey, what are you looking for?
My wallet.
We have so many wallets. Take another one.
This one is different. You embroidered it.
What? You lost that? You're so careless.
Somethings wrong. I lost my wallet. She's still being so gentle?
You lied? Why did you lie to me? Talk.
Forgive me please.
Mrs. Chen, why didn't you hit him?
Hey, you...
Right. Why? Guess.
Because you love me.
Wrong. Guess again.
Because you...I really don't know.
I'll tell you then. Because I want to pinch you.
That hurt.
Talk.
OK...
Why? Did that woman bedazzle you?
Which woman?
Hong Mei, where did you find his wallet?
In Tied Together Fans.
Tortoise Fairy, please give me strength.
Honey, please listen to me. I will never be mesmerized by Su Damei.
I just happened to pass by the shop. I just dropped the wallet. It's just that.
You passed by?
Yes.
You dropped your wallet?
Yes.
Or did you forget to take it after took your clothes off.
How is that possible? How big is Tied Together Fans?
How could there be room to take my clothes off?
You even know how big the place is. You're not mesmerized by her?
I swear to God that I only love you.
Where's the money in your wallet? I put 20,000 copper coins in it.
That's impossible.
Did you give her the money?
Absolutely not.
Or did she take it herself?
She doesn't like taking people's things.
You didn't give it to her. She didn't take it from you.
That means you lent it to her. Why did you lend her all your money?
Not all my money...
So you did lend her money?
Ouch...
Yes, Master Chen lent me money to help me. I'm very grateful.
Just grateful? Don't you need to repay?
Honey, Damei pays us interest.
To be honest, I need money for the business' cash flow.
Fine. You want me to repay, right? Give me a moment.
Miss Damei, where are you going? You want to borrow from a wan shark?
Don't worry, Master Chen. I won't put you in a difficult position.
Stop. I don't want your sister-in-law
to think that I forced you to borrow money just to ruin my husband's old lover.
Then I'd a sinner.
What do you want then?
Let's compromise. The money will be capital.
I'll become a shareholder of Tied Together Fans.
You'll run the business and make money for me.
Shareholder?
Yes.
No, you'll lose all your money very soon.
Our business is just so-so. There's no profit.
How come? The craftsmanship of your fans is so good.
The price is reasonable Why aren't there any customers?
And there's only one employee even though the shop is so big.
And he's not very smart.
Your revenue must exceed expenses. I'm sure there are profits.
I know your worries.
Why would I spend my time on such a petty business?
I just want some income every month. I won't interfere with anything else.
Honey, is this a good idea? Shall I become a shareholder?
That's a viable solution.
See? Even your ex-lover thinks that. It's decided. Lets sign a contract.
Don't you grieve on seeing your grey hair in the mirror?
What was so dark in the morning, has turned grey as snow in the evening.
Well...
A person...
Oh, a person must enjoy life when times are good.
Don't raise an empty cup on a moonlit night.
I'm gifted so I must be...
Useless.
It's useful. You're useless.
This is so easy. But Mom Runzhi still can't remember it.
Isn't she useless?
You're so rude.
Sir, Mai is just making a joke. Mai, be good.
I'm gifted so I must be useful. Don't go without food on a moonlit night.
Isn't that right, Mom Runzhi?
Mai, the lesson’s not over yet. Where are you going?
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The handkerchief must be useful.
I'm not sweating. It seems you're taking advantage of me.
What? You just don't see your sweat. See? There it is.
So a lover can see sweat. Look. You're sweating too.
What?
What? Uniform bangs freak. You stepped on me first.
Lousy long legs.
Uniform bangs freak.
Lousy long legs.
Uniform bangs freak. Ah...
What are you two doing?
Xiaomei, he's our teacher. How could you disrespect him?
Sir, it's not good if people see you quarreling with a girl.
No, it's not.
Yes, Sis Runzhi.
So my silk scarf's here. Knock it off.
OK.
Why did you call me uniform bangs freak just now?
Actually I really like your hairstyle. Why did you call me lousy long legs?
I like your long legs too.
It's so painful to meet in secret. When can we tell Brother Dongpo about us?
Just let it be. Take one step at a time.
OK. Whatever you say.
Take a look. Is the green one or the white one better?
Yes, sir... The white one is delicate.
The green one has uneven coloring. There are stains. It's not that good.
OK. Thank you.
I will give the green one to Minister Li's son-in-law then.
What? Why did you pick an inferior piece for a gift?
It seems you don't like that guy.
You don't understand. A man must build his career on his own.
I dislike brownnosers most. Take you, for example.
Your Silkworm Farming in Gao You is well written.
Thank you, sir.
I've decided to assign you
to write reports on Huangzhou, Jinzhou, Mizhou, Tianzhou and Gongzhou.
What? Huang Jin Mi Tian Gong?
That's right.
You said you dislike brownnosers most.
Did it ever occur to you that I have to work really hard on the reports?
Shaoyou, what are you thinking?
You don't want to travel? Then I'll ask someone else to do it.
No, it's OK.
Thank you for your trust in me. It's my honor.
Brother Dongpo, a late snack.
OK. Put it there.
I made the lotus seed and egg sweet soup myself. Sir, this is yours.
I happened to get yours.
Really?
Yes.
Xiaomei, every time you treat me to sweet soup, you have a favor to ask.
I don't think this time's an exception.
Actually I want to tell you that the tutor and I...
I know. You want to keep fighting me.
So you want to go with me to
Huang Jin Mi Tian and Gong to conduct the inspection, right?
Don't.
What's Huang Jin Mi Tian Gong? What are you talking about?
Xiaomei, last time you went with him to Gao You. You shouldn't have gone.
So you mustn't go with him again this time, OK?
Brother Dongpo, that's not what I meant.
What do you mean then? That means there's nothing else?
Then, go. You're disturbing us.
The sweet soup is really nice.
What were you doing just now?
You spoke gibberish. You wouldn't let me speak.
It's better not to tell anyone about our relationship yet.
Why?
I'm staying in your home right now. I feel like I don't deserve you.
Can you give me some time?
When I've scored a high mark on the Imperial Exam,
then we'll tell people that we're in love.
You're so ambitious. OK. I'll do as you say.
Will you wait for me?
Of course I will.
I'll wait for you while you travel far to prepare reports.
I'll wait for you to sit the exam to become the top scholar.
Even if you fail, I'll still help you make a come back.
What are you looking for?
A token. You're leaving for a couple of months.
I'm worried that you'll forget me if you don't carry a token with you.
Your pretty face is firmly embossed in my heart already. I will never forget it.
Why do I need a token?
Really?
When love is enduring, need we meet day and night?
So sweet. Can you say that again?
When love is enduring, need we meet day and night?
I didn't hear it clearly.
When love is enduring, need we meet day and night?
Say it at a higher pitch...Higher... Don't stop.
Tied Together Fans.
The handle's color is uneven. As is the length of the fan ribs.
It's not made of mottled bamboo. You must make it again.
Master Tian's coming in two days to pick up the fan.
I can't finish it. I need four days to make a fan.
Forget it. You don't need to do it again. We won't use you anymore.
Even though you don't want this fan, you still have to pay for it.
Yuan Ji, pay him.
OK.
What do you guys want?
Why are you so mad?
I spent a lot of money to have this feng shui master come here
Listen to his advice.
This place is relies on the fortune of earth now.
There isn't a big problem.
But there's a spot that causes a nuisance.
You must hang a big fan there
to ward off the back luck and bring in more money.
Mrs. Chen.
Yes?
We agreed that as long as there's income for you every month,
you won't interfere with how Tied Together Fans is run.
I'm the major shareholder here.
I want to help bring in more money for the shop
so there'll be more profit for you.
Am I wrong to do that?
I want to ask Buddha to give Tied Together Fans more customers.
You attend to everything yourself
Business will be good even if you don't ask Buddha to help you.
I can't let that Liu Yue'e beat me.
Wow.
How come you're so careless? Master Tian?
Master Tian, what a coincidence?
So it's Boss Su of Tied Together Fans. You came here to pray?
Hey, where's my fan? Is it ready yet?
I'm so sorry. It still needs to be touched up a bit.
I think I'll be able to deliver it to you in two days.
Are you serious?
I'm giving the fan to Minister Li. His daughter is getting married tomorrow.
If I give him the gift late, do you know what the consequences will be?
What?
Master Tin, your memory must have failed you.
Minister Li's daughter is getting married in five days.
Boss Su is just going to be two days late. Why give her a hard time?
Your memory is so good, Master Wang.
Since it's not the deadline yet, I don't need to pressure you.
I'll give you three days. You must finish making the fan for me.
Sure...
I heard that there's a fine collection of fans at Tied Together Fans.
I wonder if I may have the honor of being served by the lady boss?
You're most welcome.
Master Wang is very knowledgeable about fans too.
He's got a fine collection of them in the prime minister's mansion.
So you're Wang Pang?
Do you know me?
She doesn't.
But everyone knows Prime Minister Wang has two sons. Both are called Wang Pang.
My name has the radical "Rain". My younger brother's name doesn't.
Master Wang ranks tenth among his siblings. People call him Wang Shilang.
So you won't mix up their names, Boss Su.
Thanks for the tip. I'm sorry, Master Wang.
I have something else to do. Let's chat another day.
Sure.
See if we have enough money to pay back to Liu Yue'e.
That won't be necessary.
Yue'e found out that Damei borrowed money from Jichang.
So she wanted to become a shareholder.
She's now Tied Together Fans' boss too.
She promised me that she wouldn't interfere with the shop's business.
But I've heard something differently.
Someone told me that Liu Yue'e hung a huge fan in Tied Together Fans.
I wonder why she did that.
You know she's superstitious. She said the fan will bring in more money.
I don't think it's that simple.
You believe shes superstitious. But I think she's sly.
Why did she put a fan in Tied Together Fans?
I wonder if she's using it against Damei. We must repay her quickly.
On the one hand, I don't want to owe her money.
On the other hand, I don't want to give Jichang an excuse to see Damei again.
Do you understand?
Brother Dongpo, I can't believe you still think that of me.
I don't mean you'll definitely see Chen Jichang.
I'm just worried that Jichang might...
He's worried that you're so busy that you don't eat.
Chun Xue, serve her some food.
Yes, Mrs. Su.
It's OK. Thank you, Sis Runzhi.
I have a terrible headache. I don't have an appetite.
Besides, I don't want to talk.
Are you really not well? Let me see.
Hey...
Damei...
See? Whats that attitude of hers?
She left in a bad mood this morning and now she's come home angry in the evening.
What do I want? I just want her to be fine.
That fan there has blocked the nuisance.
Is everything much smoother? Is business better?
Yes.
Miss Damei, you've had a headache for a couple of days already.
Why don't I take you to a doctor?
Honey.
There are lots of people waiting at Zhong Feng Lou.
It'll take at least four hours before we'll get a table.
Should we wait in the line?
That Zhong Feng Lou thinks it has good food. So it makes everyone wait in the line.
It shows no respect for rich people like us.
Mrs. Chen, why don't you go to Zhong Cai Lou?
They'll give you a table.
OK.
The food at Zhong Cai Lou is nice. But we'll still need to line up.
The important thing isn't the food. It's about the people there.
They love money.
I see.
Let's go, honey.
OK.
Honey, I eat vegetarian food with you every time we eat out.
Do you think I'm echoing you properly?
If you become a vegetarian like me, then you'd really be echoing me.
You could eat meat like me, if you truly loved and respected me.
You know I was born vegetarian. I've never eaten meat before.
What do you mean you've never had meat? Mrs. Chen is your meat.
Honey, do you know there's a splinter in my heart?
Tortoise Fairy, please give me strength...
Honey, of course I know. I understand perfectly. And...ouch...
What's the matter?
My stomach really hurts.
Go then.
I'll go to the bathroom then.
Come back soon.
Will you wait for me?
I'll order sweet soup for you.
OK...
Master Chen?
Where's your lady boss?
She has a headache. She went to the doctor.
Who told you to hang this fan here?
You wife insisted on doing that to bring in more money.
LOOK at it, Yuan Ji. This is a shell.
These two are not vases. They're a pair of claws. This is a crab.
There's a pair of eyes too.
Damei's being pinched by the claws all the time of course she has a headache.
This isn't a formation to bring in more money.
It's to bring sickness.
Why are you still standing there? Take it down now.
OK.
Come on.
Honey.
Honey!
Please don't be mad, honey.
I'll punish myself by copying the scriptures until daybreak.
No.
I'll put a vase on my head.
No.
Then punish me by... What punishment will pacify you, honey?
A cane? Double cane.
Double?
Chen Jichang, don't think I'll let this go.
Honey, what's the big deal? I just went there for the bathroom.
Did you need to take down the fan if you were going there for the bathroom?
Don't tell me you didn't have toilet paper so you had to tear up the fan.
No, the fan was askew. I just wanted to fix it.
You're still lying to me? You want to die?
No, honey.
Actually you put a sickness formation there. That's wicked.
How wicked? I just gave her a headache. It won't kill her.
Don't tell me that you still love or miss your ex-love or you still care about her.
No, I don't. I care about you.
I'm worried that you won't be able to reincarnate as a human.
You're so thoughtful?
Well...
You're cursing me?
I didn't...
You won't admit your wrongdoing?
Honey, don't hit my face.
You're so nice to come with me?
You've been having headaches. I wanted to pray for you.
You said you wanted to pray for me. Then why are you keeping the safety charm?
Oh, this is for Brother Dongpo. I'll get another one for you.
Miss Damei, look.
What a coincidence? Damei, I've got a safety charm for you.
At first I wanted to ask Brother Dongpo to give it to you.
I don't need to trouble him now.
I hope this charm can alleviate your headache.
Brother Chen, since I've run into you here, why don't you get me a safety oracle?
OK. No problem.
Let's go then.
Ouch...
What's the matter?
Ouch...
Let me see. What happened?
Nothing...Ask the temple attendant to get you a safety oracle.
I've got something to do. I need to go.
Hey...
Damei.
Sis Runzhi.
Are you OK? Do you still have a headache?
I'm much better now. Thank you.
You've been so busy lately. Who got this safety charm for you?
I'll tell you. But you mustn't tell Liu Yue'e about it.
Chen Jichang? So your Brother Dongpo is right to worry?
No, Jichang and I are really over.
He loves his wife very much. He just treats me like a friend.
But Yue'e won't believe it.
Exactly. I don't know what I can do to make her believe it.
Jichang tried to help me. As soon as she found out about it,
she hit him with a cane so his hands got badly injured.
She did that? I must lecture her.
Don't do that. I don't want them to quarrel again.
Actually I'm content as long as I know Jichang still cares about me.
Yue'e won't let Jichang take you as his concubine.
I'm not thinking about that.
Then you're even sillier. Why make your life so difficult?
You're young. You must find yourself a good husband.
I know you have many educated admirers. You just turn them down.
Are there many?
One is enough. It's like a famous fan.
It's also waiting for the person who knows how to appreciate it.
Only then will you be happy.
OK.
Boss Su, I heard that there are lots of fine fans here. I've come too late.
It's not late...Take your time to look.
OK...
You have really good taste. The fans here are all exquisite.
The craftsmanship is refined. The pictures on the fans are so vivid.
Your compliment sounds so cliched.
We're sharing our feelings though we've just met. A fan brings wind when it's hot,
But in autumn it hangs on the wall, and moves in the wind.
I have a poem from Zhang Yunsou here. See if you like it.
Not too many people know Uncle Yunsou's poem.
I can't believe you know it.
I have several fans from the year Tianbao.
Do you have time to come to my place to see them?
Would I be disturbing the prime minister?
You and I are good friends. How could you be disturbing?
Pang, why didn't you tell me that you were coming home with a guest
so I could prepare tea and snacks for her?
Miss Su is the owner of Tied Together Fans. She's busy.
So Miss Su is a businesswoman? You're really pretty and clever...
Thank you for your compliment, Mrs. Wang.
Miss Su, do you mind standing up so I can look at you more closely?
Can you turn around? Turn...Stop...It's so big.
Mrs. Wang, you're so humorous.
Pang, you said you wanted to show Miss Su your fans. Why don't you go now?
Yes, Dad.
Go ahead.
Honey, you see that? She can have lots of children.
Listen carefully. Su Dongpo can never be our in-law.
Why not?
Don't ask.
Treasure Trove.
The next item is a piece of jade from Zhanguan Period.
It's delicate and pure like a cicada singing on a tree.
The starting price is 100,000 copper coins.
110,000 copper coins.
Honey, I want this piece of jade.
Got it.
130,000...140,000
You're competing with me?
150,000...160,000
The blood comes from dead people It's haunted.
When the pattern of blood looks like worms, they'll come out at night to sting people.
Are you serious?
170,000.
Of course. You'll be fine if you're lucky.
But people who are unlucky could get killed.
What?
170,000 going once...going twice...
Their families will be ruined too.
170,000, gone. It's sold.
This piece of jade goes to that gentleman. Good job, honey.
Your wife cheated. She scared me.
That's because my husband is competent.
Honey, go pay for me and so we can take the jade home.
OK...
Damei? What a coincidence? This is...?
This is Wang Shilang, Prime Minister Wang's eldest son.
This is Master Chen Jichang. He's my brother's good friend.
Master Wang. Master Chen.
Hey, what a coincidence?
Right. This is Master Wang. They're here bidding in the auction too.
What a coincidence?
This is my wife.
Hello, Mrs. Chen.
We both know Miss Su well.
Since we've run into each other here, why don't we go to lunch together?
OK.
Master Wang, you're really resourceful.
Usually we have to line up here at this hour at Zhong Cai Lou.
You didn't have to line up at all. They even gave you a VIP room.
They're just giving face to my dad.
Your dad is?
He's Minister of Personnel, Literary Hall Grand Scholar,
Jiangning Prefecture Magistrate, Manager of Governmental Affairs,
Senior Deputy Head of the Department of State Affairs
and Director of the Ministry of Supervision.
Which means?
He's Wang Anshi.
You're so clever, Damei.
Do you need to show off with so many official titles?
You could have just told me that he's the prime minister.
You're so clever, Honey.
The food's getting cold. Dig in.
OK.
Damei, try the bamboo shoots.
Master Wang, Damei doesn't like bamboo shoots.
What?
I like them now. They're really good.
Honey, eat some white nuts too.
What do you mean white nuts? They're gingkoes.
Right.
It doesn't matter what they're called.
Mrs. Chen, what's most important is having money.
I have plenty of money.
Damei, you work so hard in the shop. You must eat more. Come on.
What? It's a louts seed bun!
You're so sweet when you smile.
Really? Shilang, you must eat too. Don't just give me food.
OK...
Honey.
Yes?
Have some taro, then you won't be a fool.
Shilang, you must eat too. Eat more.
OK.
Then you'll grow tall and healthy.
Honey, you must eat more too. Come on.
What? More?
Come on.
You'll be more chubby if you eat more.
Eat some more.
Thank you, Damei. This is really special.
But there's so much food. How can I finish all of it?
That's right. It'll be a waste if I can't finish this potted landscape.
You must finish all of it.
OK.
If you can't finish it, I'll eat with you.
You're so nice, Damei. But I don't know where to start.
Master Wang, have you been to Su Mansion?
Not yet. I still haven't had a chance to meet Officer Su yet.
I see. You haven't met him yet.
Su Mansion.
Sis Runzhi, you said there's a happy event so I had to come home for dinner.
What's the happy event?
Are you?
What? Honey, you're pregnant? That's great. I want a daughter.
I'm not pregnant.
You're not pregnant? What's the happy event then?
Damei, sit down...
What's the matter with you two?
It's rare we get to dine together. Can't you two be happier?
I'm fine.
I always listen to you.
Good. Serve the food.
Roast suckling pig?
Lotus seeds, lily bulbs and lotus roots?
This dish of goose drumsticks and chicken wings symbolize a happy couple.
Honey, those are dishes for a wedding banquet.
You told me that everything we do has to be relevant.
I know someone's getting married soon.
Getting married? Who's getting married? Honey, don't make me guess. Tell me.
You won't tell me. Is it you, Gao Gui?
Of course not. Is it you?
Is it you?
Or you?
Or...Master Su, there's no one else to ask.
Honey, there's no one to ask. Who is it? Tell us.
Don't ask.
Xiaomei, this has nothing to do with you. Why are you looking so bashful?
It has nothing to do with me?
Right. It has nothing to do with me. Who's getting married then?
Honey, would you mind making the Wangs our in-laws?
The Wangs? You mean Wang Anshi?
Yue'e has told me everything. Congratulations, Damei.
Brother Dongpo hasn't said whether he approves or not.
You mustn't congratulate me so soon.
Damei, I'm a sensible person.
My political views are different from those of Wang Anshi.
But we don't hate each other. Why would I object?
This is great. Actually Shilang and I...
Are getting married.
Not yet. Anyway he's a gentleman. It's worth being friends with him.
That's great...But we haven't met your Master Wang yet.
We don't know if he's tall or short, fat or thin. What's his favorite food?
What kinds of food does he not like?
Miss Su, are you ready? Lots of people are going to Treasure Trove today.
Master Wang...
Hey, hurry...
I'm sorry. My brother and sister-in-law knew that I was meeting you.
They want to meet you too.
Master Wang, please have some tea.
Master Wang, we know the prime minister too.
Why didn't we see you at the prime minister's home last time?
I've just returned to the capital.
I'm going to sit for the Imperial Exam.
You're the prime minister's son.
You just want to get a post as an official. You don't need to take the exam, right?
I don't intend to rely on family connections.
I want to build my career with my own effort.
Besides, you know my dad's temperament.
He doesn't want people to say he's nepotistic.
He won't pave the way for me.
Good. It's good that you're not like your dad.
You and Damei are a perfect pair. She's extremely career-minded...
Honestly, I'm not young. I should have my own family.
If you don't mind it, I would like to propose to Damei.
Great.
So soon?
A woman won't be young for long.
It's already rate for you to get married now.
It's not. The timing is just right.
I just want my younger sister to marry a good husband
and be happy for the rest of her life.
Thank you, sir. I'm not going to Treasure Trove today.
I want to go home and tell them the good news.
OK...OK...
My younger son Wang Pang used to be a good boy.
But ever since he became your son Su Mai's classmate, he's learned to lie.
If my older son Wang Pang marries someone from your family,
I really don't know if he'll be led astray.
You mustn't say that.
One is my younger sister and the other my son.
How can you make a comparison like that?
Anyway, I oppose their marriage.
Honey, you said it was OK as long as Pang loves the girl.
That's right, Prime Minister Wang.
Listen to your wife. Give them a chance. They do love each other.
I want my daughter-in-law to be obedient. Can you guarantee that?
When I married you, your parents didn't like me either.
I learned in due course. Besides, Miss Su is so clever.
She can learn from you after she marries our son.
Since you're so good at assessing people. You decide then.
OK. I'll decide then. In that case, of course I'll say...yes.
That's great.
It's decided.
Honey, what about the dowry?
Mrs. Wang, we Su aren't tycoons.
But Damei is well educated and well nurtured
I believe that's the best dowry.
But both our families are well known in the capital.
We should adhere to the practice. Let's be moderate.
Five million copper coins as dowry. You won't object to that, right?
OK. Five million then. But I have a request.
Go ahead.
I hope they'll wait until the Imperial Exam is over
before they get married.
That would be the best.
I don't want it to happen so soon. I hope they'll change their minds.
That means it'll be in three months.
I'll confirm their marriage then.
OK.
Get me the pearl hairpin.
Come over here, Damei.
Mrs. Wang will put a hairpin in your hair to confirm the marriage.
Damei, I'm putting this hairpin in your hair for you.
I formally take you as our daughter-in-law.
Honey, you acted so well just now. You nearly fooled me.
If I had readily agreed to their marriage,
Su Dongpo would be suspicious since he's so clever.
This is really to your advantage. As long as Su Dongpo becomes our in-law,
he'll feel the need to hold back from arguing with you in front of His Majesty.
Then he won't oppose your administrative reforms.
From now on, my inﬂuence in the government will be stronger too.
God is really good to Damei.
She lost Chen Jichang. Now she's been given Wang Pang...
But Wang Anshi is so serious. I'm worried about Damei.
Who will Damei spend more time with? Wang Anshi or Wang Pang?
Of course she'll spend more time with her husband.
Exactly. Her husband has to be good to her, like how I treat you.
Are you worried people might call you a brownnoser
since you'll be Wang Anshi's in-law?
I'm not a brownnoser. I don't care what people will say.
I just want my younger sister to marry a good husband. Right?
Right.
Right? But you keep frowning.
I frown as soon as I think of the five-million-copper-coin dowry.
Come on. Don't frown...
Your salary maybe high, but so are our expenses
Food, salaries tor the servants, fee to the tutor, rent tor the house,
money for your hometown and your entertainment expenses every month.
It's a huge sum.
From tomorrow on, we all have to spend less. You must...
Cut my entertainment, right? OK. No problem.
That's easy. I promise I'll go less often.
But that doesn't mean I won’t go to the nightclubs.
Whatever. I'm so troubled now. I couldn't care less.
What's troubling you? I have a plan already.
Tomorrow morning I will sell my antiques. Let's see how much I can get.
I'm sure we can raise enough money.
Will you really sell them?
Why not? I'm doing it for my younger sister.
Those antiques are just things. I just keep them for fun.
You're really nice.
Of course I am. I'm even nicer to you...
The stone is solid. Too bad it's not delicate enough.
The color is rich. Too bad the carving is too simple.
Don't hit it.
This ink slab is smooth. You two are too demanding.
Brother Wanli has good taste.
But it's not worth 300,000 copper coins.
Are you kidding? It's not worth the price? Some don't have taste.
The one who has good taste thinks it's too expensive.
That shows you guys don't deserve to own this ink slab.
I won't sell it to you.
Big deal.
Officer Su, you collect famous ink slabs.
Why are you selling this one now? Are you in need of money?
Are you crazy? Do you know who you're talking to?
Do I need to sell my ink slab to raise money?
Actually I have lots of antiques at home.
My wife is jealous. She says I love my antiques more than her.
So I want to sell some of them just to entertain her.
So you think you have too many.
Later a famous ink slab from the Jin Period is up for bids.
You won't bid for it, right?
I have more than enough. Of course I won't bid for it.
Thank you for coming. The auction will begin in no time.
The bidding will begin.
We're going to Lumin Club for a drink later. All the colleagues are going.
Are you afraid your wife will be unhappy?
I want to show the ink slab from the Jin Period to the colleagues.
You're sure you'll get it?
I'm determined to get it.
Fine. Since you're so arrogant. See you at Lumin Club then.
If I don't see the ink slab, you're buying us drinks tonight.
The girls and the accommodation are on me too.
I'm worried you dare not come because your wife will be unhappy.
You're so dumb. I fear nothing. Why would I fear my wife?
I go to Lumin Club all the time. It's decided. Lumin Club. You're on.
This ink slab is moist all year round.
It's superb.
It's really wonderful.
All the food and drinks are on me tonight.
Great.
Brother Wanli, We seen your wonderful ink slab.
I need to get up early tomorrow for something important. You guys carry on.
Officer Su, you haven't finished the pot of wine yet.
Don't keep him. He needs to rush home to pacify his wife.
I'm sure Mrs. Su has set a deadline. If he's late, he'll be...
Punished.
Everyone knows I fear nothing. So why would I be afraid of my wife?
You guys want me to stay, right? Just say so.
You don't need to use reverse psychology, OK?
Brother Dongpo, ever since you remarried,
you've neglected Miss Yanhong time and again.
I just feel bad for her.
You're leaving so soon. I have so many things to talk to you about.
Yanhong, I can never resist a woman's wanting gaze.
OK. I'll stay for another two hours, OK?
No. No one is going home tonight. We're spending the night in Lumin Club, OK?
Sure.
Brother Dongpo, can you stay?
You think I can't? You want to test me? Drink with me. Come on. Cheers.
No. I want to.
No.
You want me to come over?
No.
I'll use force.
Ah...
Why did you grab it?
You know I can't sleep without my bamboo wife.
You still want to fight me for it?
Sir, you paid so much to make me stay.
I have to make you happy so that your money is well spent.
I'm happy with your performance.
Sir, you usually let me sleep on the bed.
Why don't I steep on the chaise lounge tonight?
You sleep on the bed.
I'm known to be a gentleman.
You may work in a brothel, but I still won't mistreat you.
You must keep this secret between us though
If someone finds out about this, I'll really bully you.
Of course.
It's so easy to earn your money. Of course I won't tell anyone else.
Sir, you're cunning.
That hurts...
OK...
It's so loud. It's like a snoring center...Save me.
