Mo Yung, I will marry you no matter who objects it
You have done too much for me
Although I failed the exam, and I couldn't provide you with riches
I promise, I will take good care of you after we are married
Shi Chun, do you mean it?
Yes, I do. You have done too much for me, please give me a chance to compensate
Congratulations, your wish has come true
Since Shi Chun promises to marry you
The Li family welcomes you into our family according to the engagement pledge
Yes, whoever Shi Chun wishes to marry is my daughter-in-law
Ridiculous, I have already sent the cancellation letter, I don't accept this
Uncle, I listen to you on everything since I was young
Let me decide for once in my life
This is for your own good, I consider you as my own daughter
You are persuaded to spend a life in poverty with him, I don't want you to regret
It's my choice, I will never regret it
You are all grown up now, you don't listen to your Uncle anymore
Don't call me "Uncle" again if you decide to marry him
Uncle
Mo Yung, His highness hates to lose face
He can't step down now, there is nothing you could say about it
I should be happy to marry the one I love
But I am sorry to anger Uncle so much
Silly girl, His highness loves you so much
Some time after you marry Shi Chun, everything will be fine again
Don't worry, Aunt will officiate the wedding
Thank you, Aunt
Bro, I won't move out after getting married, why are you misty-eyed?
I am happy to see you start a family
Do I have to be misty-eyed when you get married later?
No, although being with someone you love
is indeed a very touching thing
Have you put down all your feeling towards your Goddess of Medicine?
Bro, don't mention the past anymore
I am marrying Mo Yung now, I need to be faithful to her, I won't think about others
Today is your wedding day, let's be happy. Smile
We have searched everywhere in Wuchang for Shi Chun and failed. He must have returned
His two friends have taken him home
Father, go home first. I am worried about him I want to visit him at his home
Alright, you should worry about your future husband, come home soon
He has prepared the wedding decorations already, he must have recovered
Miss Tung Ching Brother Li
You're back Yes, I am
You come straight to your husband's house, you are very impatient
Shi Chun is more impatient, he has prepared everything before I even return
Right, you know my younger brother
If you have returned sooner, you could attend his wedding banquet
Why haven't I returned soon enough? How could he hold a banquet without me?
I was talking about his wedding
The bride and bridegroom were there, why couldn't he hold the banquet?
Who is the bride?
Mo Yung, who was engaged to him
Did he have a fiancee?
Yes, he did. What's wrong with that?
If Shi Chun was planning to marry someone else all along
Why did he ask for my hand in marriage with that jadeite?
My younger brother gave me that jadeite and asked me to propose to you
I wanted to marry you, not Shi Chun
What? But I like him instead of you
You agreed to the marriage because
you thought Shi Chun was marrying you
Li Shi Chun, you asked your brother to ask for my hand in marriage
Yes, but I was...
You already had a fiancee at that time, why didn't you tell me about it?
I am sorry, you are already a married man
I have no right to ask about your personal business, bye
Tung Ching! Tung Ching!
Tung Ching!
Why do you chase after me? Do you want to see me cry? Or how embarrassed I am?
Will you listen to my explanation?
What is there to explain? When I saw the jadeite, I thought I was marrying you
I even went to Wuchang to see you, and I saw you fainted on the street
if I hadn't found you, you would have died in a foreign land
Did you go to Wuchang? I was very sick
I was unconscious and knew nothing of it
Were you unconscious or emotionless to me?
You left without a word, I searched everywhere in Wuchang for you
I traveled day and night, I came to your house once I returned here
And you have already married another person
I am sorry to disappoint you
I don't want to hear this, I want one answer
Was the feeling I had when we were together real? Or was it my imagination?
It's real, I didn't tell you about my fiancee
Because I planned to cancel the engagement after I returned from my examination
And then I would express my love for you
Do you remember that I asked you to wait for me to return before I left?
I said I would surely return, do you remember?
In the end you love one woman and marry another one
Don't you find yourself conflicting?
When Mo Yung heard about the cancellation of the engagement, she decided to become a nun
When I learn that how much Mo Yung has done for me
I must marry her, otherwise I'd ruin her
And you chose to let me go
Before I agreed to marry Mo Yung
I learn that you had agreed to marry my elder brother
I thought you agreed to his marriage proposal
out of your anger towards me, for not expressing my love for you
Even if I have said yes to your brother
If you truly love me, you should ask me
I wanted to, but then my Bro told me that he truly loves you
How deep is your brotherly love, what am I in your eyes?
Am I like this jadeite in your eyes?
Something that can be passed to your brother?
Answer me this, do you still like me?
Have you stopped loving me, or are you bound by your married status?
I hate you, I don't want to see you again!
It's all my fault, it's all my imagination
I didn't speak clearly, causing Tung Ching to believe that she's marrying you
Therefore she said yes to the proposal
It's not your fault, if I haven't given you that jadeite for your proposal
None of this would have happened
She wanted to marry you, and she's heartbroken now
She is not the only one
You, too. I am sorry, Bro
Although I have lost my love
I am speechless at how my kid brother has sacrificed for me
I like Miss Tung Ching because of her look
You have a real relationship with her
The two of you have hurt the most
I don't know what else can I say
Let me apologize to her, she might understand you better
It's useless, I have said everything that should be said
Can you really forget her?
I have to even though I can't, I have married Mo Yung
I must be good to her
I am not going to tell Mo Yung about this
I understand, I will go out for a while
Miss Tung Ching Stupid man!
Why are you looking for Tung Ching?
Miss Tung Ching, I have come to apologize
It's all my fault, I should speak clearly
Blame me if you wish
Save it, she's gone
Gone where?
Her father doesn't know, too. He's searching for her
Sister Yat, tell me where she is
You are the same as your brother
One spoke unclearly, the other one is vague about his feelings
I really don't know where Tung Ching is
She really didn't tell you her whereabouts?
She is so hurt that she couldn't even talk
We don't welcome a Li in here, go away
Miss Tung Ching has left Binhu
That's good for her, she needs time to forget what has happened
It's time for me to plan my future, too
What do you have in mind?
Father, I am really not interested in working as a court official
I wanted to practice as a doctor
You still want to pursue a medical career
In a time like this, you are well aware that being a doctor has no bright future
Success isn't defined by fame and fortune
Take this herb for example, although it doesn't look nice in appearance
It does have great medicinal value
It has two meaningful names, too
This is Thin leaf Milkwort Root-bark
"Right, it has another name “little grass"
It looks like inexpensive branches
Yet it is a good calming medicine
It is classified as first-rate medicine
Although it is small in size, it has great ambitions
You use a little grass to confirm your ambition, let me reply with another plant
Lotus seeds
Being a doctor is an unfavorable profession
It's like a mute eating lotus seeds, no one else would understand the bitterness
I am not looking for fame and fortune, rather, I want to help the public
Father said that out of love, do reconsider, Kid Bro
I have considered it for many years
I respect you, Father, or I wouldn't sit for the Civil Exam for three times
Let me decide for once, please
I am a boat that goes against the currents, my heart is as hard as the hardest rocks
Please kindly accept your son's will, I am not afraid of anything unto death
Shi Chun wrote this last night
Do you agree for him to practice, too?
Father-in-law, I know you dote on Shi Chun
You hope that he'll become a court official and climb up the social ladder
Out of the same concern, my uncle forbade me to marry Shi Chun
But marrying Shi Chun is my dream
Therefore you married into our family despite your uncle's opposition
Although I have to forgo Prince Mansion's fancy lifestyle, and the future is unclear
But this is the choice I made
I won't regret it no matter what happens
Shi Chun's mother have said the same thing to me
There are different ways to express your love for someone
Either forbid him to do something by force or support him to realize his dream
My uncle have used the former way
causing our relationship to turn sour
Do you want history to repeat itself?
Your father has asked all of us to come out I wonder what he wants to say
Your insistence to work as a doctor might have angered our father
Milord
Father
This sign is for you to hoist up when you start your practice
You allow me to practice?
Shi Chun, your wish has come true
Your insistence has finally paid off
Father
Daughter-in-law has asked me to let you do whatever you want, I'll doing it for her
Mo Yung, thank you
We are a couple now, you don't need to thank me
You are my husband, I will support you in whatever you do
I am old and have worked for all my life, it's time to find a successor
This banner is my treasure
Father, as you said, this is your treasure
Are you sure you want to pass it to me?
You can hang it outside your clinic
My clinic? I don't plan to open one
Don't you understand? Your father chooses to retire
Otherwise people will remember you as Li Yuet Chi's son, if he continues to work
People will ask for him instead of you
Right, a doctor's reputation is as important as experience
Father wants you to start your own business
After your retirement, you can act as Shi Chun's consultant, Father-in-law
Now that I am still fit, I want to write a book about what I know about pulses
You'll run the clinic from now on
Don't worry, I will be a good doctor
I will discover many new herbs
Everyone, today is the opening of my clinic
Thank you for your support in the past, I am retiring now
I have taught my son Shi Chun everything, he is a good doctor
Please see him directly from now on
Yes, the Li father and son are good
They have cured me of my tuberculosis
I was hurt from a fishing trip last time
The other doctors said I need to cut my leg
Shi Chun cured me and kept my leg
My case is the most well-known
Li Shi Chun opened the coffin in time to save me
So my baby and I get to live
In short, Li Shi Chun is the most respected doctor in all of Binhu
Please come often
When you're healthy, come and learn to stay healthy!
Please come in for a glass of herbal tea
Mother-in-law, although I know nothing about housework
I am willing to learn from you
Great, Shi Chun's father has found himself a successor in Shi Chun
I'd like to find one, too
In order to pass on the two principles and eight skills in doing housework
What are those principles?
Save much and do well
Don't waste any more time, let me teach you the eight skills
Skill one: Clean and wash
Get up early to clean the house and wash the clothes
Being clean is a basic for a good daughter-in-law
Skill two: Make Paste and Preserved Food
Make wine and paste yourself
As well as preserved cucumbers, radish, ginger and pork with bean paste
Salted fish in oil, glutinous rice wine etc
Mother-in-law, why don't you mark on the jars which is which?
That way, you won't mix them up
Skill three: Cut it sharp
Be it chicken, fish or vegetables
Cutting needs to be fast and sharp, slicing and shredding needs to be thin
Skill four: Cookery skills
Your husband has tough work to do
You must make him some good dishes
Timing is all that counts, while soups must be healthy
Skill five: weaving and needlework
When you are done with a day's work, it's time for weaving and needlework
That's the way to save money
I have so much to do already, where do I find the time for needlework?
Skill six: dry and collect the medicine
Dry them after sunrise, collect them at sunset
Remember to separate them according to different categories
Otherwise they might pick the wrong medicine
Skill seven: Stay pretty
Use rice for the face, cucumber for eyes
Does this contribute to a good wife?
Of course, we face much dust and fumes in the kitchen
If you don't do something, you'll turn unattractive soon
It'll be difficult to keep your husband at bay
I still have some face dream, I don't need to use your methods
Remember the first of the two principles, "Save much“"
Learn to use inexpensive and natural skin care regime
Let us exchange, you use my methods
While I use your face cream
Alright, what is the eighth skill?
Be a good wife and mother, I will teach you those one at a time
What should I do first?
It's time to prepare dinner, you'll cook
This is my first meal, it might taste bad
Please forgive me
Let us start, Milord
Please start
Let's start, Mother and Father
How is it?
The vegetables are too salty, the meat is overcooked
The eggs are burnt while the soup is sweet
But I am too hungry
I am so useless, I can't even cook a meal
No, it's alright
Your face is dirty, wipe it clean
Mo Yung, you have never worked before at the Prince's mansion
Making something like this is good enough
Look how Elder Bro eats happily, I'll join
Father-in-law, Brother-in-law, Husband, thank you for the encouragement
However, this meal is really...
Mother, be kind
I am kind enough
I have expected it to be overcooked with the wrong tastes in everything
But she can't even tell when water is boiled
I am sorry, I will practice more
Let's continue
I've slept until mid-day! I have tons to do
Let me apply some lipstick first
What happened to my face? How can I go out?
Many chores are waiting fro me
Let me apply some powder
I am sorry, I fell asleep again after I finished preparing breakfast
I don't know that you woke up to make these dumplings
You were sound asleep, I didn't wake you
All of them are intact, that's good
They are not sweet, that's improvement
Look at these, the skin is so thick
It's made of more meat than vegetables, eating two of them would make you full
What's more, you've turned the whole kitchen upside down by making dumplings
You are forgetful and irresponsible
Sorry, I will review myself
Is Doctor Li Yuet Chi here?
That's me, what's the matter?
The governor is sick, please attend to him
Officer, I have retired
My son is attending my old patients
Is that so?
Don't worry, he's my protege, it's the same
Let me go back with you to attend Governor
Alright, please come with me
Thank you, Father
Milord, your case Thanks
Governor, please help me!
The governor has ordered that if you don't go, you'll have another twenty figs
Go away! Go!
I have come to plead for mercy, why do you flog me? This is injustice!
Fella, what is the matter?
I am a woodcutter, I live in the forest up in the mountain
I was cutting wood one day
and I met Wong who wished to buy the whole forest
I said, as he hasn't actually bought it yet, everyone can cut trees there
After he bought it, he asked me to repay him for the trees I've cut
I refused to pay him, and he asked someone to take possession of my house
Therefore you've come here to plead, and was kicked out and flogged?
This bad governor has been bribed by Wong
He only helps the rich, poor people are as cheap as dirt
Go home and rest, when I attend the doctor
I will try to plead for you
Are you a doctor?
Yes, take this powder home as cure
Thank you, Doctor
Your pulse isn't flowing well Meaning?
You have too much sex
which has contributed to a weak body
Prescribe me with some tonic
Don't worry, I will prescribe you with such, you will recover after taking it
You are indeed Li Yuet Chi's protege, you are very accurate in your diagnosis
Ask Secretary Lok to pay you
Governor, I want to say something
What is it?
There was a woodcutter who has angered Wong in the forest
His house has been taken by Wong, he is homeless and pitiful
It's all his fault, he has built a house in the forest
Now that the forest belongs to Wong, it's natural for him to be evicted
That little hut is nothing in his eyes
If you're kind enough to plead for him, I'm sure he will let it rest
That way, the woodcutter won't come here banging the drum again asking for justice
That's a point, Governor
Right, if he is willing to drop the case against Wong, everything'll be fine
Secretary Lok, explain it to Esquire later
I know what to do
Thank you for understanding the poor, I'll prescribe your medicine now
Kin Hei Miss
Help! Help!
What is it, Miss?
Get me the hat, if it's washed away, my mother-in-law will scold me
It's just a hat, you don't have to yell
Come in
Why are you carrying so much stuff?
Madam fears that you are not accustomed to what they have here
She has asked me to bring you some cosmetics, tonics and taels of silver
Take them back
Why?
When I married into the Lis, I have expected to struggle with them
I can't be sufficient by myself
You look so tired now
You should ask the servants to do those hard work such as washing for you
This is not the mansion of Prince King, the Lis do not have servants
A daughter-in-law should wash the clothes
I served you before you get married
Can you stand it in taking care of a whole family?
I can, I will get used to it
Are you happy with Master Li?
He is nice to me
However, we lack an intimacy
Perhaps I have not been as good as I should
Stop scratching, there is a red mark on your forehead
Is there?
What's happening? The red mark was gone a few days ago, why does it reappear?
Don't worry, maybe it's a sunburn
Ask Master Li for a cure
No, I cannot let him see me like this
Use these cosmetics first
This whitening cream is made by the palace, it should work
Alright
Mother, Father, I am back
Have some tea first Thank you
You're back, dinner is ready
Go in and wash your face first
Daughter-in-law has paid a lot of effort in preparing the meal today
The braised pork knuckle smells nice
Mo Yung is pretty and her cookery skills are improving day by day
You have gotten a wonderful wife
You should get married soon, let me go and wash my face first
Go ahead
That's him, seize him
What's the matter, officer?
Governor took your son's medicine
And he's now poisoned
It must be a mistake
It couldn't be
Li Yuet Chi, follow us to attend to Governor
If anything happens to him, your son will be locked up in a prison
What should we do?
What are we to do?
Kwo Chun, let's go and check on him
Be careful Don't worry, Mother
What if anything happens to Shi Chun?
Daughter-in-law, how are you?
Shi Chun Kid Bro
Don't worry, I have not prescribed the wrong medicine, I'll be fine
You just started and then something like this happened
I couldn't fathom, the governor was poisoned
Luckily, Father has detoxified him
I have checked your prescription and the remains of your medicine
The remains are blackish, it's difficult to tell what's wrong
The medicines came from Prince King's apothecary
It has a good reputation, could it be a problem with the medicine?
Medicine? I've got it!
Li Shi Chun, why do you come here with so many people?
Uncle-in-law
Don't call me that, I don't recognize your marriage with my niece
You are a criminal, she can leave you
We will know the truth about Shi Chun soon
Master, are you the one who picked the medicine for Governor?
Yes, I am the only pharmacist here
This is the prescription I wrote for the Governor
Please pick another round for me
No problem
It's done
You are a fast pro
What is this?
A sliced polygonatum rhizome
Taste it Alright
It's bitter
Governor, I've brought this polygonatum rhizome from my father's clinic
Please taste it
You'll do it It's medicine
It's an order
How is it?
It's sweet
Right, gelsemium looks similar to polygonatum rhizome
The color has a slight difference, and they taste differently
Polygonatum rhizome tastes sweet
While gelsemium tastes bitter
Li Shi Chun, what are you trying to say?
Don't you understand? The polygonatum rhizome which is selling here
is in fact gelsemium, a poisonous plant
How do they differ?
Polygonatum rhizome is a mild medicine to nourish the kidneys
Gelsemium is only for external application
If taken internally, the patient will have internal bleeding
In serious cases, people die from respiratory and heart failures
You are lucky
This is gelsemium
They look more similar when sliced
The remains of the medicine can't tell anything
You are lucky to have survived
Shi Chun's prescription is fine
The problem lies in the apothecary
Prince King, you donated to open and are taking charge of this apothecary
How could you let this happen?
The one who picked it was at fault
No, the two medicines have similar leaves
Their flowers and stems are different, the picker couldn't make any mistake
When gelsemium was delivered here
the leaves and stems have been removed, leaving only the root of it
After slicing, the pharmacist mixed them up
Young Bro, you're proven to be innocent
Now that the truth is known, please exert justice for Shi Chun
Shi Chun is finally released, what a relief
Use some pomelo leaves to wash yourself and to wash away the bad luck
Why are you so quiet? What are you thinking?
King's apothecary made such a mistake
The common apothecaries must be worse, the public are at risk all the time
The medicine dealers often mix them up, too
The herbal manuals in the past do make many mistakes
Doctors nowadays seldom pick the medicine themselves, they just prescribe them
The pharmacists know less, nobody really knows anything about medicine
Those medicine manuals are ridiculous
Some claim some magic fruits or herbs can make people live forever
If I can write a book to gather all the information about medicines
Amend the mistakes, observe them in the wild
Draw them out with illustrations
That would be trustworthy enough
That's a good idea, but there are over several thousands types
Who would have such perseverance to
amend the mistakes and observe all of them?
Me
Shi Chun, that's a huge project, where can you find the manpower and other support?
The court and government might support me
We can discuss this with Prince King and the governor
Come on, you have just angered Prince King, he won't help you
Let us think about what to eat at your celebration dinner
Shi Chun is sensitive enough to think of the mistakes of the pharmacist
Younger Bro is indeed a medicine freak
Nobody knows more about the shapes and functions of the medicines than him
he will become famous by revealing the mistake of King's apothecary
That's great, let's slaughter a chicken to pay tribute to the gods
Mother, where is Mo Yung?
She fainted after seeing you seized by the court officers
She still feels sick now
Let me attend to her
Go in quickly
Mo Yung Milord, you're back
What's the matter with your face?
My face?
Mo Yung
