" Huang Fei Hong " Episode 23
Westerner.
What's wrong?
Old man Huang, thank you for taking care of me these days.
I'm leaving now.
You knew about Fei Hong and Gui Lan's thing?
I always imagine Huang Fei Hong would follow me...
...back to France to fix the kinetoscope.
I thought we could take photos at Seine River and under parasol tree.
Then we would go to the south to watch the lavender blooming in May.
We can't decide the other's feelings.
Just let it be.
Why didn't George Sand and Chopin get together in the end?
How do you know about them?
Didn't you always say about George Sand?
I went to look for it. I'm quick-minded and eager to learn.
Old man Huang, although you're old, pedantic and have a bad waist...
...you're quite a kind person.
You're so much better than your son.
Are you praising me, or teasing me?
What're you doing? Mind your manners in the public.
Old man Huang, this is how we greet friends in France.
Thank you.
Don't move.
I'll leave now.
Old Man Huang, what're you thinking?
Isn't it great that westerner has left now? You should feel happy now.
I should sleep now.
Zhi, what's wrong?
What did I do?
- I remember now! - What do you remember?
I remember I'm a prince now.
Come and sit here.
Tell me, what do you remember?
I remember...
...I went to an island and saw many creatures.
I've killed many people there.
You really have killed many people.
Then, will they catch me?
Seems like Hua Sheng's treatment works.
But, it takes more time for you to recover fully.
It's okay. We have plenty of time.
Then, before everything else...
...you should arrange my daily life.
What?
I've remembered all those I've used and wore.
I've also remembered the food in palace...
...and the Mansion of Prince Rui.
Since I'm the prince, then of course I should live like one.
- Am I right? - Zhi, we'll talk about it later.
Later?
My head is so painful now. It's painful!
- Are you really in pain? - Yes!
When I had headache...
...Troops will buy me white kidney bean rolls.
- White kidney bean rolls. - Alright.
- My head is so painful now! - Zhi.
You became a plebeian because of me.
Now you're suffering from this strange sickness.
Don't mention white kidney bean rolls...
...I'm willing to prepare you the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
- Really? - Yes.
Then, go and prepare now.
Aren't you preparing the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
Why're you sleeping now, Little Huang?
- Go away! - Aren't you preparing the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
- Go away! - I'll sleep then.
Don't hug me!
You have to hold me.
Little Ying and Little Gui.
Who're those?
What're you looking for? I'm calling you both. Come here.
Stand here.
- Come here. - Hurry and come. Stand here.
Listen properly. I announce, from now on...
...I'll elect Little Huang as the Chancellor of Harem.
From now onwards, you both have to listen to Little Huang.
Let me warn you.
If you dare to slack, I'll punish you with the sticks.
Chancellor of Harem? Does it mean a eunuch?
Don't speak nonsense. From today onwards...
...we'll have five dishes, one soup and three main courses in the morning.
We'll have beef, mutton and assorted meats in casserole for lunch.
Dinner will be easy. Seafood and desserts are must haves.
Let's work together to help His Highness to recover his memory.
Little Gui and Little Ying. Do you understand now?
- Yes. - How dare you!
You shouldn't say that. You should say 'yes, Your Highness'.
Alright, that's all. I'll go back now.
Oh, right.
Next time when you answer me, you have to kneel down.
Don't forget it.
Take care, Your Highness.
What're you doing?
His Highness finally remember he's a prince now.
So, we have to follow His Highness's standard of lifestyle now.
Nonsense. He's just plebeian now. Why pretend as a prince?
That's right. But finally he's recovering from his sickness.
Just do it for me. Treat him as a prince.
Then is the assorted meat still necessary?
That's for sure.
- Who'll do it? - You.
Me?
- Let's play! - I want to play too.
- We want to play too. - Listen to me!
If anyone calls me 'Your Excellency', I'll give him a sweets, alright?
- Alright! - Your Excellency, give me sweets!
- Everyone will get it. Don't rush. - Your Excellency!
- Come. Everyone'll have it. - I want it too!
Don't rush.
Everyone'll have it.
- It's mine! - Don't take it!
Seems like I'll soon know his secrets.
Dad, think before you make the move.
Little kid, don't try to bluster.
- Come. - Alright. Check mate.
- Let's play again. - Something happened!
What's wrong?
- I can't eat that anymore. - What's wrong with the food?
- Don't go. - No.
Follow me and have a look.
We're not finished with this chess yet!
Little Huang!
What was I saying? Fei Hong!
- What's wrong? - Look at it.
What's all these? Are you feeding a cow now?
Didn't I tell you? Five dishes, one soup and three main courses.
Assorted Yuan Yang and shrimp dumplings are must haves.
Where're they?
I wanted to prepare them as well. But...
Didn't I give you the money for this month? It was just three days ago.
Let's not talk about the others. That Assorted Yuan Yang...
...has half a roasted goose, a hundred gram of pork bellies...
...chicken ham, twelve types of fried vegetables.
All of these costs three taels of silver for just a breakfast.
It's still the simplest meal among the day.
Do you think the money you gave was enough for all this?
Being a constable is tiring too. I only get two taels every month.
Why is she so rude now?
Little Huang, what's silver?
It's nothing something to eat anyway.
- Alright. - Come.
How do I eat this?
Just eat something. I'll bring you out for better food later.
Hurry.
How's it? How much I can take?
That's all.
Bao Zhi Lin has just started its business.
We haven't even earn our capital back.
These are only enough for three days.
I didn't want to say this. But are you burning the money?
I'm now suffering in silence.
You don't know about it.
Now everything in my house follows the standard of a prince.
But the salary doesn't.
You're now raising a son for the Empress Dowager...
...and raising a brother for His Majesty.
You're really something.
A man is nothing without even one penny.
Having a depreciating asset at home, there's nothing I can do about it too.
Where's my blanket?
Where's my rosewood? There was a thief!
Dad, what's wrong?
- What happened? - How dare is he!
Someone stole things in my house.
- I'm reporting to the officer! - Dad, don't be angry.
There's no thief. Who dares to steal in our house?
Then where's my blanket? What about my rosewood on the table?
Fei Hong has given me those yesterday, I've pawned them.
You've pawned them?
Dad, listen to me. I've no choice.
We're really lack of money for food.
That's right. Your room is the last option.
- The blanket is just the beginning. - Yes, I'm being kind to you.
You bastard!
You can pawn anything, but why my blanket?
The weather is cold now, how am I supposed to sleep at night?
Dad, to tell you the truth, I've even pawned my own blanket.
Now, I only have this clothes.
It's my clothes during day time and it become my blanket at night.
I've thought about it. If you're feeling cold...
...you can take this as cover.
Gosh! As one of the Canton Ten Tigers...
...I can't believe I'm in such situation now.
Little Huang! Little Gui!
How dare you all do this?
This prince's asking for it. Let me teach him a lesson.
Dad! Don't!
Dad, don't get angry!
Little Huang!
- Your Highness! - What's wrong?
- What is it? - Look!
What're all these? These are all wrong dishes!
There's fish and meat here.
You still dare to mention about the fish and meat?
Here. Let's look at the meat.
If it's white as jade, thick and lasting, then it's living flesh.
Look at this. It's white as powder and not lasting.
This is a dead meat!
I'm the prince of the Great Qing, how dare you fool me with dead meat?
What should we do? I've only these money left.
I've an idea.
Boss, how do you sell these fish?
They were dead this morning. I can sell them cheaply.
- How is it? You want it? - Alright. Give me one then.
Okay.
- Are you sure it'll work? - Pay the money.
- Here. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Aunty, how do you sell these duck tongues?
The red ones were freshly cut today.
The white ones were cut three days ago.
Which one do you want?
I want hundred fifty grams of the white ones.
Okay. I'll give you discounts.
Don't hesitate. Just pay the money.
Here. Look at the duck tongues.
It has been three days since they were cut off.
Although the weather is cold now, the meat doesn't decay easily...
...but the meat is loose and inelastic.
If that so, why don't you serve me the candy floss?
Also, this is not the Longjing tea picked before Grain Rain.
This is the Longjing tea picked before Pure Brightness Festival.
Though these two weather seasons are just ten days apart...
...but, look at this.
The buds have withered, and it tastes bitter.
It's not in good quality anymore.
You really have a great taste. I'm amazed.
It's nothing. I enjoyed living an extravagant life since young.
These are all nothing.
Little Gui, you served me substandard food.
Little Huang!
You feathered your own nest, and not doing your job properly!
I...
Now I'll punish you both to slap each other thirty times.
Zhi, this...
Hurry, slap her!
- Slap each other. - I've had enough of you!
How dare you! You've no respect on me!
- You poked my head! - So what if I poked you?
- I'm poking you now! - Gui Lan.
- Forget it. - I'm poking you now!
Little Huang.
I've had enough of you!
You're not satisfied no matter how we serve you.
Then why don't you go somewhere else and be your prince there?
- She poked my head! - You're still fine.
Gui Lan, don't make a fuss with him.
I want to make a fuss, what's wrong? Why don't you just leave?
Let me tell you, it's enough!
I'm from the royal family and I never hit a woman.
If you continue to force me, you better watch out. I'm warning you.
No way.
I'm not serving anymore!
I'm not a servant. I'm not Little Gui! I quit!
Gui Lan!
Look at you. Even the concubines can still give births for you...
...but why you're keeping this spendthrift here now?
How should we both bachelors serve him?
Let's talk about this shrimps.
Tell me.
Fine, I won't say it. You can try it first.
Dad, don't count anymore.
She won't come back no matter how many times you count.
She'll cook this for me sometimes.
When I started to taste it, I felt that it was strange.
But I got used to it after a few times.
After not tasting it for few days, I start to miss it again.
Are you referring to the person or the coffee?
What're you trying to say?
Now the westerner has left, no one is making noises here anymore.
At least I'm peaceful now.
Did I mention De Hai Ze?
You terrible kid!
He did that on purpose.
When I thought of that arrogant Huang Fei Hong's helpless face...
...I'll feel delightful.
But is it too much for him?
Not at all. Men are all useless actually.
We should leave them alone this time.
We must let them know that we're not summoned and dismissed at will.
Did you feel that the walls were moving?
I don't think so. Let's drink some tea in the house.
When I came just now, I felt this lane is too old and poor.
Why don't you get a new place to stay?
It's fine. I'll be back to France after few days.
Here. Be at your ease.
What am I doing here?
What should I say if I met her?
The house is collapsing! Help!
Help!
Don't panic.
Dad, Hai Ze, Aunty Thirteenth.
- What happened to you all? - Don't mention it anymore.
Miss De will stay in our house for some time.
It was so scary.
Miss De, you can go to rest now. You'll still be staying with me.
I'll arrange the bed sheets for you later.
That's right. I'll bring you there. Give it to me.
Let's go.
What's happening?
What happened to you all?
- I'm in good mood today. - Are you serious?
You're still in a good mood?
What's so happy when she's staying with us?
I really don't know what you women think.
Let me ask you. Do you like De Hai Ze?
Why should I like her?
I'll ask you another question.
Do you know why your dad went to the lane?
Why did he went to the lane?
You were trying to say...
It's good if you understand. Follow me to arrange the bed sheets. Let's go.
- Why? - Don't ask why.
Walk slowly.
Little Fortune, are you hungry? I'll give you extra food later.
Boss!
Why're you here again?
- I'm here to buy herbs. - Do you think I'll believe you?
You still owe me money. Go away!
Let me tell you. My shop won't sell anything to you.
Go away! Go back to where're from. Get lost!
Boss, is the gelatine made up of your donkey?
Are you crazy?
Hurry and bring Little Fortune to the back. Hurry!
Little Fortune?
Let's go, Little Fortune. Hurry and go. Is he crazy?
Little Fortune?
Your Highness, why aren't you eating?
I'm not hungry.
This is Longjing tea from West Lake.
Although they are not picked before Grain Rain...
...but it still tastes good. Try it.
I'm not thirsty.
Here. This is your favourite red-cooked meat.
Here. Try it.
I don't have the appetite.
- Now what else can you say? - This...
Little Ying.
You intruded my room during midnight. What do you want to do?
Put down all my treasures.
I'm telling Little Huang that you're stealing.
Are you stealing as well?
People! This is ridiculous! There're people stealing here!
- Come here. - You're stealing!
- Come here. - Don't shout anymore.
- What're you doing? - Shut up!
Let me go.
You are...
Greetings to the prince of the Great Qing.
I'm an antique businessman from foreign country.
Can you repeat that?
That's enough!
Your Highness, this is the notes from our country.
One note can be exchanged with ten taels of silver.
Look. Do you like it?
Don't walk anymore. Look, how much are all these?
Let's see.
That's fish bone.
Ancient jade.
Such a waste.
This is not included.
Why is it not included? I want all of them.
- Is it enough? - So much money!
Don't play with your beard.
Beard!
- Beard! - Beard!
- Who're you talking to? - No one. I want all of them.
- Is the money enough? - These are all for me?
- Yes. - Thank you!
Little Fortune, we've money now!
- Son, I feel pity for you. - Why?
Look. After having the money...
...this silly prince didn't think you in the first place.
Did you hear what he shouted? Little Fortune! What's that?
You are...
I'm Mo Cuo Guo, a businessman from Shanbei.
That means I sell the best item. You'll regret if you miss it.
Don't you want to have a look?
If you buy it outside, it'll be two times more expensive.
I have everything here. You want herbs, right?
My herbs are fresher than Boss Wang's. Look!
Are you silly? You're selling herbs, not vegetables.
People don't care about fresh herbs.
Also, your herbs are dried up.
Little brother, it's okay if you don't buy herbs.
You can buy something else.
Look at these foreign money.
It's inconvenient to use out there. You're lucky to find me here.
I got it. You want my money, right?
Let me tell you. I'm earning these for Little Fortune.
- Don't think I'll spend it. - Little Fortune again?
Little Fortune is nothing.
If you buy from me, you'll be getting more wealth.
Don't criticise Little Fortune!
Little Gui?
Alright, Little Gui. How dare you lie to me?
People! Something happened!
Punish him severely! People!
I'm here, Your Highness. Please don't be angry, Your Highness.
What's wrong?
Your Highness, she wants to sing you a song.
- Lang li ge lang... - Lang li ge lang...
- That's it. - No, Little Huang!
She has no respect on me! Hurry and slap her.
- I can't do that. - You can't?
- Alright, I'll do it. - Don't. I'll do it.
- I'll do it. - Do it then.
We'll put up a show.
- I'll slap now. - Alright.
How dare you?
Slap!
You really slapped me, Huang Fei Hong?
You terrible man!
I didn't put too much energy. Why is she so angry?
I guess you've spoiled her.
What's wrong?
Miss De, I have many things to complain.
- Did you know Huang Fei Hong... - Stop!
What happened?
Did he just bully you because of His Highness?
Did he have a good-time of wine and woman?
Do you have anything new?
That's why, it's useless even you complain again.
You should tell him clearly.
You're his fiancée. You're the first for him.
As for His Highness, he should step aside.
- Fiancée? - Yes.
Do you still want to be Aunty Thirteenth?
Of course not.
That's right. So, you must tell him clearly.
Chinese talks about the three obedience and four virtues, right?
As I understand, a man should obey what his wife says.
He should obeys her orders. He should hold it in when she's angry.
- Also, when her wife spends money... - Stop!
How am I supposed to say those out?
And those aren't what three obedience and four virtues mean.
So what if they're not? The important thing is he likes you.
He can't just talk about it. He has to take actions.
Look for him. If not, I'll go on behalf of you.
She has some points too.
What's this again?
What're you doing? You can't undo your moves.
- You're just like my dad. - You're showing off again.
Men don't argue with women. What's wrong if I regretted?
What do you mean? We're playing a chess game now.
- Just give me another chance. - I've given you chances.
- Give me another chance. - No way.
- I've given you chances. - Just one more. I don't want to lose.
Where've you been yesterday?
I went to play chess with Old Man Huang.
- He tricked me during the game. - Don't lie to me!
Gui Lan, since you already knew it...
...then I won't hide from you anymore.
- Actually, Huang Fei Hong already... - De Hai Ze!
I treat you as my best friend. Why did you do that to me?
Gui Lan, didn't you know that...
...introducing your best friend your loved one is a taboo?
Actually, Fei Hong and I have feelings on each other.
- Just let it be. - You!
I...
I'll kill you!
- I'll kill you! - Gui Lan, what's wrong with you?
I'll kill you!
- What's wrong, Gui Lan? - Are you still my friend?
What happened to you?
- I'm sorry. I had a nightmare. - Nightmare? About what?
I dreamt of...
...there was a thief in the house.
Thief? What can he steal here?
Or there was a rat.
Not rat, but a human.
Human?
Who's there? I've saw you.
Who're you? I've saw you.
If you're still not coming out, I'll hit you with the stick.
What?
This is strange. Where did he go?
What's wrong?
It's His Highness.
- Your Highness! - Zhi!
- Your Highness, I'm Little De.
If you're here, just answer us.
We won't be able to find him this way.
Did he realise that we used fake money to cheat him...
...so he's angry and running away from home?
Maybe he thinks those cooking utensils are antiques...
...so he's stealing them now?
What I'm worrying is he's sleep walking again.
He doesn't even know what he's doing.
Zhi!
Your Highness!
Your...
We've finally found him.
What's he doing?
Let's go and have a look.
Then, we followed His Highness back home.
It's been a tiring night. I should go and sleep now.
Wait!
Why did His Highness hide these useless things? Why?
He wants to earn some money to start his business.
Or he wants to rebuild the Mansion of Prince Rui.
- Wrong. - Why is it wrong?
Gui Lan, His Highness had lost his mind.
Whatever he does now, there's no logic in it.
I'm not saying it anymore. I'll sleep now.
Wait.
Let me ask you.
Why did Huang Fei Hong was with you while chasing His Highness?
Didn't he have to sleep?
Didn't I tell you before this? I was playing chess with him.
Talking about his chess skill, he's much better than Old Man Huang.
Not only he knows Go, he also plays Chinese and Western chess.
I'll play with him next time.
- I'll play with you both. - No way.
How do three person play chess?
You better look for Old Man Huang.
You!
I should've killed you.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Little Ying, let me ask you. What day is today?
- The eighth day. - Really?
- Yes. - Are you sure?
You may ask the others.
Little Gui, what day is today?
Didn't my brother-in-law just tell you?
I want you to repeat it.
Today is just like the other days.
I catch thieves out there, and I have to serve Your Highness at home.
No. Today is the eighth day.
Today is different.
Today is the eighth day. Today is different!
Today is the eighth day! Today is different!
Your Highness, what're you doing?
How dare you.
You enter my study room...
- ...why didn't you inform beforehand? - Who am I?
I'm Little Huang.
I've the privilege. The others have to inform but I don't.
Really?
Alright. If that so, there's nothing else. You may go out.
There is. Sit down.
Tonight at Chenghuang Temple...
..there's a performance by Pearl Instrument Class.
It's adapted from the story of Iron Monkey.
How's it? Let's go and watch it.
Really?
- I think I better not go. - Why?
There's plot about fighting the Japanese too.
Don't you love fighting the Japanese? It's such a waste if you missed it.
Forget it.
It's just a play, not fighting the Japanese for real.
Also, I have important matters today.
You may stand down.
Alright, I don't disturb you then.
- Let me wash your clothes. - Don't wash! I'm bringing it away.
Bringing it away? To where?
Where do you want to go?
You're hiding something.
No.
Alright, hurry go out. Go out!
Don't ask anymore. Just go out!
Go out!
