The Romance Of Hua Rong
Episode 16
She is mine.
Who dares to touch her.
Greetings, my lord.
Jin!
Miss Hua Rong.
Fate brings us to meet here even from a long distance.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
You're really mysterious.
I'm flattered.
Sorry for having come to you late.
And, this is...
Tell you later.
Okay.
What's going on?
They forged tickets for the Prince Jin's Mansion.
I'm ordered to catch them.
Whose orders?
She's from our mansion.
My lord, I'm sorry for having got her wrong.
Let's go.
Damn it, boss.
Why we can meet that Jin here?
We can see him everywhere.
My Lord.
Please sit.
You...
Sorry, brother.
Boss.
What is his identity?
Didn't you find it?
He is a powerless upstart.
Putting on an act.
What's wrong with you?
That's a Prince's second son.
Second Lord of the Prince Jin's Mansion.
The Prince Jin.
He is a prince of different surname granted by Wan Jiang.
He has great rights.
Nearly second to the emperor.
The second Lord.
He is very handsome,
gentle and talented.
Prince Jin likes him very much.
Second Lord.
A wastrel, I think.
Nothing.
Yeah.
Miss Hua, please have a seat here.
Sit.
Okay.
Miss Hua,
this is delicious.
Really?
Try it.
Okay.
How is it?
So sweet.
Right.
Boss.
And this one.
This Jin.
He is around the sister-in-law.
I feel like you met an opponent this time.
Dayou.
Try all.
Okay.
Miss Rong.
You try this again.
What ingredients are used in this dish?
This is made from our best glutinous rice in Wanjiang.
No wonder it's so delicious.
You eat too.
Thank you.
This fish.
Eat more.
You too.
You were so happy chatting with Mrs. Lan yesterday.
It seems that you haven't felt jealous for too long.
Have some wine, dining together is not easy.
Everyone came here to participate in the son-in-law election.
I feel very honored.
Everyone's time is limited.
Let me explain it directly.
This game is divided into three parts.
Literary competition, Martial arts competition, Mysterious fence-off.
Champion can get white jade,
and marry my daughter.
Good thing.
Jin. You participated in the competition this time.
Is it to marry the first beauty of Wanjiang?
No kidding, please.
I'm not interested in the marriage and jade.
Just because my brother is sick.
I came to attend the Wanshang Conference because of my father's request.
It's a pity, tell you a secret.
In fact, the person sitting next to me
is Wan Jiang's first beauty, Lu Wanwan.
The girl upstairs?
Fake.
Why did you
attend the Wanshang Conference?
I also want to win the championship.
So I can win white jade.
Is white jade important to Miss Rong?
Of course.
I heard that there are half treasure maps in white jade.
If I could get the treasure,
I would distribute all these treasures to the people.
So I did a good thing.
I admire you
for this kindness.
Miss Rong wants to grab the treasure.
Let me help you.
Jin, quite my friend.
Cheers.
And,
because there are so many applicants,
then I could only make the first selection according to the age,
family background and talents.
Next, I'm about to release the nominees.
Hope those who are not in the nominees would not be dissatisfied with that.
The Nominees.
Jin Yiwen, the second prince of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Shangguan Hong , the Young Master from Fantasy Mountain Villa.
Good! Good! Good!
Liu Youcheng, the Nation General of Wan Jiang.
Situ Cheng, the Young Master from the Richest Family of Ye Xiang Country.
Great! Great! Great!
I guess, you asked me to come here
not only for tea, right?
Here! Mr. Qin.
Tea instead, a toast to you.
I really appreciate for the precious pill you sent to me,
which saved my mother's life.
I specially went to buy these gifts for you.
If you really want to thank me for that,
don't get Rong involved in this game.
About Miss Rong,
I'm afraid I can do nothing about it.
But I feel very confused about the relationship of you,
Why you've come all the way to join
the selection of son-in-law.
It's none of your business.
Although I don't know why you come here,
I'll promise,
I would never reveal you true identity to people.
However, it's different this time.
I mean, if one day you want to give up your love for Rong,
or do anything to hurt her,
I definitely wouldn't let her go.
We're in Wan Jiang, so what?
Since I can win you once,
then I will surely win you again.
Wanwan,
why you promised to Jin
that we would move to his mansion?
We're a team, aren't we?
And we could discuss and plan together if we moved to there.
By the way, Rong.
Do you want to be watched by Qin Shangcheng all the time?
So why don't we take this chance
to slip away under his nose.
But I think...
Miss Hua Rong, Miss Hua Rong.
My lord said
that Miss Lian lives in our mansion will be safer than living in Guyue Hotel.
Just rest assured.
Miss Lian?
Brother Jin thinks it's better not to call me Wanwan,
and he gives me the name, Lian.
Then...
Ladies, shall we go now?
Come on, sis Rong.
Boss! Boss!
Sis-in-law...
Speak!
She was taken by that Jin.
Sir, this is the nominees for your son-in-law,
Please have a look.
Very good.
Excuse me, sir?
When will my daughter come back home?
Her mother misses her so much
that she's been seriously ill.
I'm afraid...
As long as you successfully complete the task that I've assigned to you,
I will keep your daughter safe and uninjured.
Yes, yes, got it.
So long as my daughter could return home safely,
I'd like to do anything as you wish.
My lord,
Hero Yunhe has always been surreptitious in his movements,
but there's no need to worry about it,
his name is surely on the list.
I'll try my best to find him as soon as possible.
Hero Yunhe?
You want to fool me with your fake identity?
Interesting!
Let's play it to the bone,
and find out who has the last laugh in the end.
Miss Rong,
this is the courtyard I have prepared
for Lian and you.
This way, do you like it?
Miss Rong, I want that room.
All right!
Thank you, Jin.
You're welcome.
This courtyard is just a little yard that
I asked the servants to clean it up.
This is for my lord.
But he specially vacates it for you,
and he has to move to the little yard.
Shut up! Lai Sheng.
I'm just telling the truth.
Jin, I feel so sorry for troubling you,
and we'd like to move to the little yard,
then you could move back.
Miss Rong, if so it could be more trouble to us.
Miss Rong, please make yourself at home,
you could live here as long as you wish.
In fact...
I've always wanted to say...
Miss Rong, don't worry.
No matter what you want,
I'll exert all my efforts to help you.
No matter you wanna win the competition.
Or adventure in Jinghu as Heroine Huahua.
I'll try all I can to help you
realize your dream.
Jin.
It's really a great honor for me
to know you, such a good friend.
Gimme my bag.
Thank you.
I go have a rest.
Let's chat later.
See you.
What a big mansion.
We only skimmed the surface this whole afternoon.
You'd better be familiar with everything here.
Or if one day you become the prince's consort.
People will laugh at you if you get lost here.
What consort?
Sis Rong, stop acting.
Just now, I heard
what you talked with Lord Jin.
Since you heard that, you should be clear that
I don't wanna be his consort.
Really?
Of course.
I see.
No wonder someone
was so eager to move to his mansion.
So she has other intention?
What intention?
It's all for the competition.
I didn't say it's you.
You just admitted it.
Sis Rong!
Okay, stop. I won't say it.
Please.
Please wait for a while.
I go report to my lord.
Thanks, butler Jin.
Ladies, please.
Come on!
I've hidden in Prince Jin's mansion.
Why he followed here?
Rong, I told you
no matter where you hide,
I can find you.
Bastard.
Me?
You moved into Prince Jin's mansion without telling me.
Why I'm bastard now?
Because...
I sneaked into your room?
You're my wife.
Can't I do that?
This time...
I won't let you go again.
What are you doing here?
Can't we be here?
This must be the second lord, right?
I'm Situ Cheng.
Supplying perfume for prince Jin's mansion.
Glad to see you today.
Mr. Situ.
I think I've made things clear to you.
Miss Rong and Miss Wan are my guests.
If nothing,
please don't harass them.
Excuse me, sir.
My boss is chatting with his wife.
Not harassing her, okay?
Miss Rong, please have a seat.
In this mansion,
can the host sit before the guests sit down?
That depends on whether the guest is welcomed or not.
My guest.
Of course he is welcomed.
Brother.
Do you feel better?
Much better.
Just caught a cold, it's okay.
I'm Situ Cheng.
Supplying perfume for prince Jin's mansion.
It's quite my honor to see
the big prince in person.
I've heard a lot that Mr. Situ's perfume is well-known.
Seeing you today.
Much better than it's said.
Please have a seat.
Please.
You first.
This way.
Come on.
Make yourself at home.
Have a drink.
Please.
Mr. Situ.
I saw you look happy talking with my brother.
You've known each other?
Yes.
Mother was seriously ill.
I went to look for good herbs in Tianchu.
Thus, saw Situ.
What a coincidence.
Yes, exactly.
When I went purchase goods in Tianchu.
Jin helped me salvage my goods.
Goods? Me?! How dare he!
Really that? Yiwen.
Tell me what you got?
Just a petty thing, no need to mention.
Not that, my lord had lost his script for dragging the goods.
Situ, my brother has strong literary talent.
Every time he goes to travel, he must write a paper to remember.
I think these goods are unusual,
because my brother took a risk of losing his script to do it.
I see.
Lord Jin, you really sacrificed a lot.
I have to propose a toast to you.
Thank you for having got my goods back.
It's quite kismet to bring you two
together in my mansion.
Situ, a toast to you, too.
Situ.
I invited you here this time.
Actually there is another thing I wanna ask you.
Please say it.
My wife has got headache, hard to fall asleep.
And I bought a Lingxiang herb
from western region at a high price.
It's of amazing effect.
Can help with insomnia.
Yet I suddenly found
it doesn't work well,
and it's getting worse.
Could you please help me
check this sachet?
Can I open it?
Sure.
Qin Shangcheng knows nothing about perfume.
He'll be caught pretending to know this.
Situ,
Anything wrong with this sachet?
This...
Jin, I'm allergic to this perfume.
Laisheng,
take this sachet away.
Okay.
No need.
Is it true?
My lord, may I ask
if your wife has placed more than one sachet beside the pillow?
This perfume is true.
But why my wife's condition is getting serious?
This perfume really helps with sleep,
but it should not be too much and too close to the body.
And it is better to use light one,
Otherwise the strong perfume
will refresh her
and aggravate illness.
Jinfu,
Ask servants to take all perfume away in the room.
Yes, my lord.
Situ.
Thank you for my wife.
It's my pleasure
to help you with that, my lord.
Enjoy the food.
Please.
Why are you so haunted?
Let me go!
Let her go! Wanwan!
Is it enough?
Angry about it?
I am here to express my thank for what you did.
You think too much, I did not do anything.
Really?
But as I know,
you are not allergic to any perfume.
I was not before.
Now I am.
I feel sick when I smell
the perfume of you!
What a coincidence!
I feel sick thinking you
live with Jin Yiwen in his mansion.
I...
It is not my business.
Go back home with me.
No!
What are you doing!
Put me down!
You really think me as goods?
I will yell if you don't let me down!
Oh, no!
Rong must be taken down.
Now can you go back with me?
I...
Miss Rong.
Qin Shangcheng, this is Prince Jin's mansion!
Don't go away too far.
Anything wrong with my taking my wife away?
You can't do it in that way.
And she will stay away with you.
You think so?
I will show you
how I make her willing to go with me.
Hua Rong, why you didn't stand firm?
Rong, you didn't stand firm indeed.
Wanwan, why you are here?
I come to see you.
But, Rong,
it took us a lot of efforts to team up with lord Jin.
You must stand firm.
Wanwan, don't worry.
I will never make the same mistake again.
So,
what is the feeling of kissing?
Well,
it feels so good.
Wanwan, don't worry.
Hua Rong.
You can't be tempted. Do have a good match.
I will let Qin Shangcheng see how good I am.
Come on!
Rules of the game.
First round, verbal competition.
There are poems and riddles.
Who can find out the thing indicated in riddles,
will win.
The riddle is
White clouds are floating.
Outside the Lurui Hall, winter is warm.
The beauty of the spring in Luo City is waiting for you.
Open history library of emperors in holy and good place.
That's it?
No more?
No more.
You can make good preparation for it.
Well.
Luo City is thousands of miles away from Wan Jiang.
How to find it?
Yeah.
I know Lurui Hall.
But it was burned long ago.
Open history library of emperors in holy and good place.
Is it means academy?
White clouds are floating. Outside the Lurui Hall.
It means...
Bailu Academy.
Damn it!
He took one step ahead.
Now we go to Bailu Academy.
OK.
Wait.
The meaning of "the beauty of the spring in Luo City is waiting for you" is...
The beauty of the spring in Luo City...
I know.
It's Painting of Goddess of the Luo River.
Rainbow Pavilion in Xuanhe Art Academy has the authentic work.
Now we go!
No, it's too late.
Qin Shangcheng took a step ahead.
We can only split into two groups.
Qin Shangcheng must has gone to Bailu Academy.
How about this,
I will go to Bailu Academy.
You two go to Xuanhe Art Academy.
Alright.
Jin.
Qin Shangcheng is quite hard to deal with.
How about we go together.
Well.
Yes, Jin.
I think this Qin Shangcheng doesn't know answer to the riddle of Painting of Goddess of the Luo yet.
So, you take Wanwan with you.
I will go on my own.
Okay.
Let's go.
Xuanhe Art Academy.
Pardon me.
How to reach Rainbow Pavilion?
Go that way. First room on the left side.
Thank you!
Today Rainbow Pavilion is off limits. Unless...
Please.
Is there someone who is ahead of me to get here?
Today you are the first one.
So many collections.
It will take me some time to find the painting.
Are you looking for this?
How could you be ahead me?
It's not right.
How did you manage to get inside?
From window.
You are good.
You can know the answer to the riddle.
You conceal yourself well.
Tell me the truth.
What kind of skills that I don't know?
Well.
You need to find out gradually by yourself.
Who would do that? Sick.
This time you can't kiss me.
I will let you come to me obediently.
The match is not over yet.
It's now,
or never.
Now I should act.
Qin Shangcheng prepared well.
How can I find it?
What will you do?
You took a lot of efforts to find Painting of Goddess of the Luo.
And even disturbed my bath.
How about...
I won't take a bath with you.
Impossible.
Why don't you serve me to bath?
As long as you serve well,
The Goddess Luo Painting will be sent to you.
It's enough.
My shoulders are stiff.
My arms are sore too.
It seems someone still doesn't want this.
No solution anymore.
Who said I don't want it.
Yeah...
To the left.
Be gentle.
Harder!
Didn't eat dinner?
Too hard!
Don't want Goddess Luo Painting anymore?
OK...
I'll pinch you after I get the Goddess Luo Painting.
But I changed my mind.
I can give you the painting,
but...
you have to move back from the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Are you daydreaming?
Aha...It's easy to me.
Oh, no! Qin Shangcheng!
So tricky a man!
But...
It's pretty good.
All your fault.
How can you blame me?
It's you! Obviously.
What brought you two here?
Boss,
we have waited for you for an hour.
We called you, got no respond.
So we wait for you here.
Messed up, right?
Boss,
That Jin Yiwen was one step ahead.
All blame you! Didn't you say that your lightness Kungfu
is the best in the world except the boss?
Why couldn't use it
and get it back?!
Didn't Jin Yiwen find the answer first?
So many years have passed.
Why are you still not flexible?
Do you know what is contingency?
You have been with boss for years.
Why didn't you learn anything?
Alright, enough.
Just say something useful,okay?
Boss.
Let's give the third brother a chance to
steal it tonight.
Maybe it works, Boss.
Brother Jin, we must take precautions tonight.
Zhang Xian's dodge is good, he will steal books at night probably.
If so,
let him go,
and never return.
Relax, Miss Rong.
It's on me.
Prince Jin's Mansion.
We will not let him come and go easily.
Now the urgent matter
is to get the Goddess Luo Painting from Qin Shangcheng.
Rong,
Can we try the temptation of money?
It doesn't work.
He will not compromise with money.
He is not short of money.
No!
This is not my style to win.
Alright.
This will also affect the impression of boss in sis-in-law's heart.
How can you come up with such a bad idea?
Isn't this what you said?
I got an idea.
At this time,
not only do I have to grab the book,
I have to shame the Jin.
Let him retreat.
Boss, you want to achieve both.
I'm going to fight with him like a man.
My lord.
OK. Relax, you two.
I shall take full charge of the matter.
Lai Sheng just sent a battle post to Qin Shangcheng.
I will
solve the problem with him in man's way.
Brother Jin, we are gentle.
No need to battle.
Yes, Brother Jin.
You are the second prince of the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Don't abase yourself.
Right.
Boss,
can we do it
in a more gentle way?
Yes.
This is the most gentle way for me.
No.
Who is it?
Who is Situ Cheng of you three?
Situ Cheng, here I order you.
Tomorrow afternoon, in the grove outside Anyuan Gate.
Meet me there.
No. Not me, but Jin Yiwen.
A Challenge?
Great.
Sis Rong, they are over there!
Seems they are about to fight.
Why?
Why do Laisheng and You Daqian fight against each other?
No matter what, better we stop them now.
Yeah, let's go.
Not a waste to be my attendant for years.
Is this the so-called duel between them?
Is there any misunderstanding about duel between men
by our women's angle?
Yes, it is.
I concede my team's defeat.
Qin, will you make the rules for the match please?
Our Boss
likes least to gain advantage from others.
It should be fair play for a match.
Isn't it?
Let's bet for...
How much each of you knows about sister-in-law.
Me?
Nice bet!
Isn't it?
I act as the referee of the match,
by the principle of equality and justice,
Wanwan will assign topics, and I will give out answers.
Here
we have nine tests.
Answers are in Rong's pocket.
Who firstly gives out five correct answers, wins.
The one who loses should drink as punishment.
Wine?
No even a problem for my boss.
What the hell are you talking about?
Our boss won't lose any.
Am I right, boss?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now let's start!
Jin, you first, please.
This one.
I still remember,
the first time I met you,
was on the 3rd lunar March.
March...
Cut the crap.
Anything unrelated to the match should not be mentioned.
Or that should be disqualified.
Is that correct, referee?
I do agree.
What the hell do you agree?
OK. OK. Let's back to the match.
Listen!
Test No.3
What is the brand of rouge Ms. Rong likes most?
Miss, may I help you?
Well let me see.
These are all brand new.
You can try this.
It is pretty good.
You don't like it?
Ma'am.
Why did the lady
buy nothing and go away?
She did not know what rouge fits
her skin.
I take all rouges of you have.
Oh my god!
So many!
God! What kind of miserable color is it?
Too coquettish!
Why are there so many coquettish colors here?
Great! Very Good Color!
I can't hold it!
How charming I am, my goddamn handsome face.
What else?
How coquettish!
Qin Shangcheng!
Why do you stay in the room for a whole day?
Qin!
What are you doing?
I am, doing experiment.
Experiment?
Why are you so sneaking?
Qin Shangcheng!
Qin, you are...?
All of these,
I've tried them already.
This brand's staining is the best.
You should take it.
Shameless!
Well, the store Hua Rong bought her rouge belongs to my family.
OK. Now here is the answer.
3, 2,1.
My answer is...
Brand Ning Mi Fang!
It is a draw.
This...
I...
How did he know?
Hard to judge from appearance.
Unexpectedly, this guy is so attentive like this.
OK. Qin, it is your turn.
No. Nine.
Nine.
Test Nine.
What is the thing that Ms. Rong mostly fears?
Very Easy!
A piece of cake.
Qin, don't be too optimistic.
Win or lose, who knows?
All right!
Here is the answer.
3,2,1
The answer is Fierce Dog.
Jin, you win this round.
It is impossible. I do remember,
you hate spiders most.
I told you who I saved today is not a servant girl as the previous time I did.
They are a group of little beggars.
You don't have a chance to see
how poor is it when they looked at me.
I cannot bear that.
Then I just became so benevolent.
Gave them all the money you gave me.
Qin.
Hey!
What's wrong with you?
It's... It's okay.
Oh, this man, so-called king of pirates, with guts as he said,
scares the cute spiders.
Well, I think
I still need to keep his fame
that he relied on very much.
Qin, there are small spiders.
I am so scared.
Please save me.
Rong, don't worry.
I get some guys to clean this up now.
Let's get out of there now.
Rong, for what you did good to me,
it's nothing even all the people know that I am so feared of spiders.
I don't care.
