Episode 28
Ye Xiaotian, Xia Yingying
will love each other their whole lives.
It looks beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
In all those thousands of years,
which man has ever pursued a woman this resolutely?
If a man treated me like this,
I'd marry him for sure.
Dajie, if I had a flying thing like that
I could do this, too.
If you don't want to die,
stay away from me.
Xiaotian ge and Yingying jie are so good together.
So good.
Ning'er jiejie,
Why are you crying?
Yingying must be
very happy right now.
If you're happy,
if she's happy,
then I
should be happy, too.
Xiaotian ge, I'm feeling so happy.
Yingying, I love you.
Do you love me?
Xia Yingying, I love you!
Do you love me?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I love you.
Let's go.
Xia Yingying!
You little brat!
Get down here!
I think it's... it's my dad.
Don't be afraid.
You useless bastards.
What are you waiting for?
Get Yingying down here!
You bastards!
Don't you even listen to my order anymore?
Go quickly!
Let's go. Let's go.
It's fine.
Be good.
Go back with them.
If you go against your dad,
he will get too mad.
But we only just saw each other again.
I did this today
to show that Li Guojiu.
I reckon after tonight
he will be too embarrassed to ask for your hand in marriage again.
So, as for everything else,
I will solve them all for you one after another.
I'll go talk to your dad tomorrow.
But that Guojiu Residence is so strictly guarded.
How will you get in?
Little dummy.
Do you think your dad
will still stay at the Guojiu Residence?
You have a point.
I'm leaving.
We're leaving.
Uncle.
Where do we go? Back to the Guojiu Residence?
You useless thing. Why the hell would we go to the Guojiu Residence?
Find an inn!
Follow them. Yes, sir.
What happened to you?
It's because of that Ye Xiaotian.
I got punished by my dad.
I almost got my legs broken.
Guojiuye.
I've heard about your matter.
There are pretty ladies everywhere.
With your character, your looks, your status and background,
you can have anyone.
Why be in such misery over a girl like that?
What a joke.
Who am I?
How could I be in misery over a girl?
It's that Ye Xiaotian, he is arrogant and disrespectful. He humiliated me.
I'm furious. It's difficult to keep calm.
Guojiuye.
Do you know that Ye Xiaotian's background?
What background?
After the charity bazaar I had someone check his background.
He is a mInor official of Guizhou.
He is just a mere sheriff.
He broke regulations because of a robe, was arrested and taken to the capital.
He should be in prison.
But he is infinitely resourceful,
he managed to escape.
He could even stir up trouble right in front of us.
Is that true?
We can use this information
to make it into a big issue.
It's too late.
The senior grand secretary is very ill. Incurable, even.
The imperial court is looking for a successor.
All the grand secretaries are watching this chance.
No one will pay attention to such a trivial matter.
That Ye Xiaotian had help from minister Qiao of the ministry of war.
He will be pardoned in a few days.
It won't take long until Ye Xiaotian will be pardoned and leave prison.
Unbelievable.
Guojiuye.
Once Ye Xiaotian returns to Guizhou,
we won't be able to do anything to him anymore.
But if we can find a way to make him stay in the capital,
we'll have the chance to have him punished.
You're right.
Listen.
If we can get rid of him,
there won't be any more problems.
Is this plan feasible?
Guojiuye.
I'm not boasting.
If he was a magistrate of the 5th rank, this matter may prove difficult.
But he is just a minor official.
If you make an appearance,
if you want him to stay here,
no one will dare dismiss you.
Then that's settled.
Here.
By the minister of punishments' order,
you are pardoned and free.
I...
I... I'm ok now?
Yes, you are free to go. Yes.
I can go?
Yes.
But my little brother...
Don't say "but". Go quickly.
It's a pity.
Yes.
Brother Feng,
we have no more of this perplexing ethics drama
to watch now.
Those two pretty girls
will also never return again.
Xiaotian.
I did what I promised.
My father made a plea personally,
your case is settled.
Really?
You think I'm lying?
The pardon has been sent to the prison already.
Where's my big brother?
If he can sit in prison for you,
he'll be able to leave prison for you, too.
So that means,
I can finally go home properly.
Thank you, brother Qiao.
But right now,
I need to get Yingying back.
Dage.
Whether you play nice first and then use force, or use force first and then play nice,
whether you poison the dogs or drug the people,
we are prepared and ready.
We are ready!
OK.
May you succeed.
Thank you, brother Qiao.
Let's set out!
Miss Zhan.
Good morning.
Morning, brother Qiao.
Why are you up so early, Miss Zhan?
Watched the lanterns last night?
I did.
How was it? Pretty, right?
I didn't see much. I came home early.
We were busy till 2 o'clock.
You made this, didn't you?
This is a man's robe.
For Xiaotian, right?
He isn't that lucky.
I did it for fun.
Miss Zhan, you are truly skillf...
Miss Zhan.
Let me give you an advice.
Marriage is a serious matter.
You and Yingying can both be first wives.
No one will feel upset.
Women are all like that.
Brother Qiao.
Perhaps, in your eyes,
women are all the same.
But I, Zhan Ning'er,
I'm not the same as the others.
Why be so hard on yourself?
Since he and Yingying have promised themselves for life,
I'd rather die alone
than to destroy their marriage.
That's who I am.
That's Zhan Ning'er.
But if you knew you can't have it,
- why did you... - Brother Qiao.
You know,
when I see him happy,
I feel happy, too.
Somehow I just
want to do some things for him.
To make him happy.
I wish the best for both of them.
It's better to forget than let oneself suffer.
Miss Zhan, you are a passionate one.
You have my respect.
Sir.
Excuse me...
I'm sorry, sir,
our whole inn is rented out.
Please find another inn.
I wanted to ask you,
is it the Xia family who rented out this inn?
Yes.
Thank you.
Sir.
They are very rough.
Be careful.
It's fine.
I know them.
OK, OK.
Where's Yingying?
Yingying.
She's still sleeping.
That brat.
She has no care in the world.
Uncle.
Say, that Ye Xiaotian,
will he really come?
He will for sure.
That jerk
he's shrewd as a monkey.
A mischievous monkey.
All right.
Wait here for me.
I'm going in by myself.
Dage.
They look so fierce and malicious.
Let me come with you.
It's fine.
They are my relatives. They won't do anything to me.
Dage, you can't.
The Xia family is unreasonable.
Let Yunfei and I come with you.
Yes.
It's fine.
None of you come.
I'm the Xia family's son-in-law.
How can they beat up their son-in-law?
Don't be so sure.
It's fine.
Da... Dage.
Dage.
Dear brothers-in-law.
Good morning.
This yard looks quite small.
Maybe you shouldn't train with these big rocks.
They are quite heavy, too.
You may hurt yourself.
And what if you hurt someone else?
See, that could cause disharmony, right?
Bear it.
Don't embarrass our Xia family.
Hurts.
It hurts.
- It hurts. - Brother.
Brother!
Quick, brother. Let's go see the physician.
Quick. Go.
Be careful.
Uncle.
You little jerk.
Good skills.
Li Guojiu, such a respectable man.
Your trickeries made him run away in fury.
Actually, I don't have any skills.
I'm just playing animal chess,
the weaker chess pieces eating the stronger ones.
Li Guojiu has much more restraints than me.
That's why he has much more scruples.
You think I'm praising you?
Speak.
On what condition will you let Yingying go.
Uncle.
I love Yingying.
You want a promotion?
Our Xia family
will ensure you get promoted by 5 ranks within 20 years.
How about that?
I love Yingying.
You want money?
I will give you 2 million Liang of gold, how about that?
I love Yingying.
You like pretty ladies?
OK.
I'll give you 10 beautiful girls. How about that?
I love Yingying.
I think you love to die!
I know what you're worried about.
But no one knows
what will happen in the future.
Then will I put my daughter's marriage at stake
just to bet whether you'll succeed or not?
3 years, all right?
Give me 3 years.
If I can't solve this matter
in 3 years,
then I will never bother Yingying again.
A gentleman never...
Goes back on his word.
Xiaotian ge!
Hurry up.
Slow down. Slow down. Hurry up.
What's going on?
Why did you ask to come home with me yourself?
You even bought so many presents.
Do you find me ugly?
What do you mean, my lady?
Ok, ok, ok.
I have never in my life seen
a fairy as beautiful as Xia Yingying.
OK?
You think it's not awkward for me?
I mean, a girl coming here to meet your dad.
It's because I want to let my dad see my resolve.
You suddenly grew up a lot.
Let's go.
Don't mess my hair up.
You get angry so easily.
I'll do your hair for you.
Stop with that nonsense.
You said... you said your brother came back.
That you were in prison for him.
So where is he?
H-He didn't tell me
where he is going.
Hey!
I just didn't want you to worry,
that's why I came back before him.
You won't stop lying, will you?
Explain yourself.
You think you are all capable now?
You didn't even come home at night.
You learned all these bad behaviors.
Stop hitting me.
Dad is here.
Hit him.
Hit him good.
We were too lenient with him.
You useless thing.
If you had even half the skills of your little brother,
I wouldn't have to worry so.
Daughter-in-law.
Hit him hard.
Saozi.
Still lecturing your husband?
Brother!
Son.
Dad, I'm back.
You really are back.
I am.
Look. Look.
He's really back.
That's what I told you. You didn't believe me.
Dad, actually, I came back
a few days ago to see you. I was posing as my big brother.
You didn't recognize me.
But...
Er, this lady.
This lady is...?
Hello uncle, hello sister-in-law.
Hello big brother. Hello, everyone.
Good. Very good.
Good.
Miss Xia.
Our home is too small, I'm sorry.
It's not.
It's fine, sister-in-law.
Son.
Oh you.
Why didn't you even tell us when you were in prison?
You have to know,
your family won't only see your admirable side.
Dad.
I was
worried you will worry yourself sick.
Son.
Is your case settled then?
Yes, I'm all cleared.
Otherwise,
if I'm not in prison,
my brother would be in prison for me, right?
That's good.
You're cleared. That's good.
Even as an official you aren't safe.
Son.
So what are your
plans now?
Dad.
I have some friends with me,
so I need to stay at the inn for now.
I don't think they can stay in our home, either.
And since the government
isn't holding me accountable anymore,
they will reinstate me very soon.
So, once the order of reinstatement is passed down,
I will return to Huxian.
Good.
But dad, don't worry.
I will come home and visit you often.
2nd brother.
What did you say was Miss Xia's dad's
official position?
It's called... called chieftain?
How big of an official is that?
Yes, yes.
How big of an official?
It's hard to say.
But, in short, in the area under his jurisdiction,
everyone listens to him.
Also, look at our senior grand secretary,
even he will one day step down.
But the chieftain is a sat official,
the position is passed down generation by generation.
Even if the dynasty changes,
their land will still be theirs to rule.
How great.
Last night,
I couldn't stay in prison.
Because if I did,
my pretty wife
would have been stolen by someone.
Yes, yes.
Your wife is pretty.
No, I mean,
Miss Xia is elegant and charming.
So pretty.
Uncle. Look.
This is a present I bought for you.
Er, sister-in-law.
This is for you.
I didn't know what you like.
So I chose the most expensive one.
Most expensive one?
I love it.
You have great taste.
This is too valuable.
It's really pretty.
Quick, help me put it on.
Son.
This girl is bright and pure. She is endearing.
Dad, dad. Is it pretty?
Yes, yes.
It's pretty.
It's really pretty.
Xiaotian ge.
I don't want to go home.
Little dummy.
Of course I know you don't want to go home.
But the treatment I gave Li Guojiu,
later, he lost face in front of everyone.
Your dad would be embarrassed, too.
But it was just his own wishful thinking.
Why do we have to care that he lost his face?
OK.
Even if I not for Li Guojiu,
your dad still doesn't like me.
But whatever happens,
he is still your dad,
and my father-in-law.
So we can't anger him.
But I don't want to go back.
Stay home and wait for me.
I will find a way soon
to deal with all of my troublesome issues.
Oh right,
I already discussed it with my dad.
He agreed to it, too.
Once I've gained a firm foothold in Huxian,
I'll let my whole family move there.
And then you and I can
grow old together.
When that time comes
even if you have enough of me,
I'll take you with me everywhere I go.
All right.
When you have time you have to come see me.
Wrong.
I will have to go pick you up.
Ning'er jiejie.
OK.
I don't know how to say this.
I don't know what to do either.
But thank you for everything you did for me.
No problem.
Xiaotian and I are brothers who live and die together.
I'm leaving.
Let's go.
Go, go, go.
Why did you buy so many things? Are you visiting someone's grave?
Hey!
It was you who told me
to ask those rich ladies
to come to your charity bazaar.
Are you not willing to buy them a little something?
It's not that I'm unwilling,
but you should have told Luo Daheng to carry these.
He is so fat,
he should do some sport.
Was it Luo Daheng who asked this favor of me? It was you, ok?
And you always say that we're brothers.
You complain so much when you do so little.
Isn't that Xiaotian?
He got another girl?
He's quite capable.
Xiaotian! Xiaotian!
Xiaotian.
Sister-in-law?
Are you grocery shopping?
Xiaotian, whose daughter is this?
She is Miss Zhan of the Shiqian king of chieftains.
A chieftain's daughter?
Hello, sister-in-law.
Hello Miss Zhan.
Sister-in-law.
It's not what you think.
We aren't in that kind of relationship.
I know.
It's not that kind of relationship, but you can still come have tea at our house.
Let's go, Miss Zhan.
Miss Zhan, come.
But...
You must be tired.
Come have some tea.
Sister-in-law!
Why are you taking her home?
To drink tea!
Miss Zhan.
Please sit.
You are a chieftain's daughter?
This... This house is too small.
I'm really sorry.
Please don't mind.
I won't.
Have some water.
Thank you, sister-in-law.
Miss Zhan.
A chieftain's daughter.
Here, drink some water.
Drink, Miss Zhan.
Thank you.
These... these things...
are they all for... for us?
No, sister-in-law.
Oh, you didn't have to, Miss Zhan.
It's fine.
Thank you.
It's so generous.
Hey, son,
who is this lady?
Is she a.... what did he say last time?
Some... Some chieftain's daughter?
A local king's daughter?
When I was pretending to be my brother in prison,
I met her once.
She came together with the other lady.
By the looks of things....
It's troublesome.
Miss Zhan.
When did you and our Xiaotian meet?
Him and me?
A while ago.
We met in Huangzhou.
Later, we went to Huxian.
And after that, to Tongren.
We met again when we went back to Huxian.
Met again?
It's fate.
Fate.
Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?
Ning'er and I,
we are brothers who have been through thick and thin.
Am I right, Ning'er?
Yes.
We are good brothers.
See?
Brothers are good, too.
A chieftain's daughter.
Brothers are good.
Drink some water.
Miss Zhan.
Your hairpin looks so pretty.
This?
No.
The butterfly one.
Ning'er, Ning'er.
Sister-in-law.
Don't you have a hairpin in your hair?
Why want another one?
I... no, I mean...
It's fine.
I only said Miss Zhan's hairpin is pretty.
It's yours.
It... It's mine?
Xiaotian, look.
The chieftain's daughters are so generous.
Thank you, Miss Zhan.
Miss Zhan, help me put this on. See if it looks good.
Here.
Is it pretty?
It is.
Xiaotian, is it pretty?
It's really pretty.
Welcome.
Please come in.
I told you.
For a woman, marriage is just as important as her reincarnation.
I mean, how important is being reincarnated into a good family?
See, my wife,
she liked her cousin more than me.
She almost became someone else's wife,
but she still ended up being mine.
All these years,
my wife has been very happy.
She has long forgotten about her first love.
Miss Zhan.
When a man chases a girl, there is a mountain between them.
When a girl chases a man, it is so much easier.
Ning'er jiejie.
I don't know how to say this.
I don't know what to do either.
But thank you for everything you did for me.
Ning'er and I,
we are brothers who have been through thick and thin.
Am I right, Ning'er?
Yes.
Ning'er.
We are good brothers.
Right?
What do you want?
I'm sorry.
My sister-in-law is like that.
She is too philistine.
She even took your hairpin.
How much did it cost?
I'll pay you back.
No, no, it's fine.
Er, I wanted to give it to her.
I think it looks good on her.
I don't wear it much anyway.
I think it suits her quite well.
Why do you have a man's robe?
Hey! Give it back.
You made this?
You know how to do needlework?
Let me see.
Let's take a look at Miss Zhan's craft.
How... How do you wear this robe?
One side is for an adult, the other is for a child.
It's for a weirdo.
Give it back.
It suits you well.
- What are you doing? - Wait. Wear it.
Where are you going?
I brought some clothes for Dong shu.
I think Dong shu is very strange.
He always plays with his stupid bugs. I think he is related to spiders.
Cut it out.
Ye Xiaotian, take it off.
I won't.
Take it off already!
I won't.
If you don't take it off I'll hit you.
I'm not taking it off.
Hurry and take it off.
I won't take it off.
If you don't I'll hit you.
I won't.
Zhan Ning'er, I'm impressed.
I'm impressed.
Is she trying to do it with him?
Er...
I think we should probably leave.
Why leave?
Look at this.
This... This robe was made by Miss Zhan.
Ye Xiaotian.
Are you taking it off or not?
Let me laugh for a while first.
I'm ending our friendship!
I'm taking it off. I'm taking it off.
Why is she mad?
Dage, women...
Go comfort her.
Here, you try it on.
Give it to me.
Why comfort her?
I'm off.
Da... Dage.
[Luo's Jade Ware]
We came to the capital
to assist in prison break, take some great action.
In the end,
we just opened up a shop.
Dage.
The senior grand secretary will soon pass away.
A change in the political world is coming.
You're right.
With the minister of war helping him,
who cares about a dying senior grand secretary?
Ye Xiaotian's case
just evaporated.
This would mean
that Ye Xiaotian will return to Huxian very soon.
Let's head back to Huxian at once.
Dage, why the hurry?
Tell Xu Boyi
to get ready.
Guojiuye.
The pardon was passed down.
Thankfully we informed them early,
otherwise Ye Xiaotian would be leaving for Huxian in just a few days
to resume his post.
So did the ministry of personnel agree our request to keep Ye Xiaotian
in the capital?
It's just an appointment of a mere sheriff,
of course they'd agree.
This means...
Ye Xiaotian will stay in the capital.
As long as he stays here,
we'll be able to have him punished.
Good.
I will watch him fall before me.
Dage.
Your crime was pardoned.
Why don't you stay home a few more days?
I think your father misses you a lot.
Dage and I were born together and we grew up together.
Now that I've made it this far,
my dage...
I'm worried my sister-in-law will feel unhappy.
Dage.
I think you worry too much.
Well, for me,
Dave's dage is still dage.
Right?
Excuse me, who is
Huxian's sheriff Ye Xiaotian?
Me, what's the matter?
This is a writ from the ministry of personnel.
This is far too quick.
My dad only just pleaded for your matter.
And their reinstatement letter already arrived?
Ministry of personnel's Tiju?
What position is that?
There are many titles in the departments and ministries.
How would I know what kind of position a Tiju is?
What does it say in the appointment order?
It says same rank transfer.
That is strange.
The capital isn't like other places.
Being able to become an official here,
people would fight over it
even if you had to drop by 2,
no,
by 3 ranks,
not to mention staying at same rank.
That's right.
Why is he suddenly to stay in the capital?
Whose favor did you gain?
My enemies, my love, and my chances.
None of them are here.
I need to return to Huxian.
