Mister Xu, you're really busy.
As soon as you finished taking care of your junior sister,
you have to come here to see us off.
Physician Xu, you are always busy, so there's no need for you to come to bid us farewell.
I wish you all the best.
Miss Bai, do you really have to leave?
You're joking, Physician Xu. Shu is my hometown,
of course I have to return home.
So there's nothing in Lin-an that can make you stay?
All things must come to an end. We met only by chance,
and will be parted eventually.
So that's what it is.
Miss Bai,
would you come to Lin-an again?
Western Shu is far far away from Lin-an.
After we parted here, we probably won't have the chance to meet again.
Don't worry, Mister Xu, I will take good care of Suzhen.
Farewell!
Wait!
Miss Bai, this umbrella...I'm returning to you.
The sky hasn't cleared up yet, this umbrella —
Never mind.
It's supposed to go back to the owner.
Miss Bai, take care.
We won't meet again.
Older Sister, there are words carved on the umbrella, when was that done?
[ There are trees in the mountains and there are branches on the trees. ]
[ I adore you but you don't realize.]
♫ What a beautiful scenery the West Lake is on a day in March! ♫
Older Sister.
♫ The spring showers taste like wine and the willows look like mist! ♫
♫ If we would be blessed with good fortune in a millennium ♫
♫ Growing old together with one heart would be in sight ♫
♫ If we would be blessed with good fortune in a millennium ♫
♫ Growing old together with one heart would be in sight ♫
♫ What a beautiful scenery the West Lake is on a day in March! ♫
♫ The spring showers taste like wine and the willows look like mist! ♫
Da Qian, is it ready?
Ready.
Miss Bai's set-up is quite secure.
And now, with the East Sea Amethyst Bell as the eye of the set-up,
I can promise that
No one can figure out the weirdness about it
Tell me, isn't this known as paling into insignificance by comparison.
Of course! Shhhh
Keep a low profile.
No problem! . What are you afraid of?
They have all gone back to Mount Emei who knows when next they will return
We can just wait peacefully here.
We missed the boat to Sichuan province by an hour. Is it really not that urgent?
There's another boat tomorrow.
I will keep you company again tomorrow.
I don't need you to send me off
Who says I want to escort you?
I can't just go with you?
You're so comfortable, why do you want to leave a step?
Because I want to accompany you
From today onwards, no matter where you are...
I just want to be by your side.
I have a skill. I can guarantee clothes and food without any worries.
How about your marriage arrangement?
I've never had a marriage arrangement with anyone.
You are the only one
in my life.
I, Xu Xian, forever and ever, wish to grow old and have white hairs with you.
What if, I don't want to go?
Miss Bai
Call me Su Zhen...
Su Zhen...
Well, from now on, do you want me to call you Xu Xian or Han Wen?
You can call me whatever you want.
But sooner or later, you're going to have to change what you call me.
Change what I call you?
What are you talking about?
Lady Qing...
Sister, you really made gave me a search-around
It's just like what I thought and said, indeed, you and him are here to talk about secrety talks.
It's my fault, next time, I'll give you a let-know when I'm off.
Where's JingSong?
Don't know what's the matter with him. He's been pulling a long face all day.
I got tired of looking at his face, so came to look for you first.
Elder Sister, it's getting dark and the rain is subsiding.
Should we return, or not return?
It's true, the day is no longer early.
QuYuan Alley is close by. If the two young ladies don't mind,
then how about visiting my humble home to drink a bowl of ginger tea and eat some snacks.
Sounds good.
Don't know where that Constable Li obtained that magic weapon which can react to demonic auras.
When night falls, it'll respond even more intensely. We can't risk it.
Isn't it just some shabby sword?
That shabby sword has already been fed full of boy's urine by me.
It's just useless scrap metal now.
You're the smart one.
Since Miss XiaoQing already said that you'll go,
let's get going.
No. What I meant was that it seems to be inappropriate.
Our Bai family is very strict.
We wouldn't stay over at an unfamiliar man's home at night.
Elder Sister, let's go home on our own.
Mister Xu, take care. We won't be sending you off.
I naturally won't allow Miss XiaoQing to do something like sending me off.
But look, it's getting so dark, and raining, not safe.
I really should send you two young ladies home.
SuZhen, this way please.
SuZhen? !
When did the two of you become so rude?
Wait for me!
Bai Residence
Miss Bai, you're home.
I'll go back.
I'll send you off.
There's no need.
It's dark and the roads are slippery. Your home is in a remote area.
The ground is slippery from the rain, not suitable.
I want to.
Miss Bai. It's raining, and you're a girl.
Let's forget it.
Hey...if you guys continue to send back and forth, dawn is going to come.
No one is going to be able to come home.
In my opinion, how about Mister Xu stay at the Su Residence,
and wait until tomorrow before leaving.
But Miss XiaoQing said before that the Bai family is very strict. If i were to stay,
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nothing's impossible.
But rumors can distort truth, I'm afraid that this'll damage Miss Bai's reputation.
My actions are upright, I'm not afraid of rumors distorting the truth.
I'm only afraid that there are doubts in your heart.
Then I'm grateful to Miss Bai.
Please come in.
Huh! Putting on an act. Grinning from ear to ear, haven't you wanted to stay all along.
Mistress has returned.
And Physician Xu is also here.
Come come, please come into the house.
Haven't visited for a few days; your home has changed a new retainer.
They all came from my original home.
-You've already met Uncle GuiBao and DaQian (Pinchers). -That's right.
And also, these two
I...it's alright to just call me A'Luo (A Net)
I...I'm called DaGu (Big Drum)
All of them have gone on the battlefield with Old Master before.
All of them have high martial arts skills. This time, they came to serve as our guards.
So it turns out that all of you are generals.
XuXian has been impolite.
Not at all. Not at all.
That's all in the past.
Young Master is kind and honest; arranged for us to have a place to settle down.
Physician Xu, your clothes are soaked. You should quickly change out of them.
-That's right, right come. -Hurry into the house.
XiaoQing, bring some dry clothes over here.
Got it.
Miss Bai,
It's this rain's fault for falling harder and harder.
On rainy days, the days detain the guests.
If it wasn't for the rain today, you and I would've missed one another.
I'm actually quite thankful for this rain.
Me too.
Ginger soup's coming! Soup's coming!
Ginger soup's coming!
Thank you.
Mister Xu, I'm really sorry,
DaQian has offended you.
Didn't know that you needed hot water to take a bath.
You had him take a bath in cold water?
Sorry. Very sorry.
You!
Miss Bai.
How come your hand is so cold.
This won't do. You should be the one to drink this bowl of soup first.
You've caught a cold. This soup was prepared for you.
I'll go brew some medicines for relieving colds.
Miss Bai, if you don't drink this, I won't drink it either.
Alright, then we'll each drink half, you finish the rest of it.
Why aren't you drinking?
Why's your face so red?
It shouldn't be a fever, right?
You must be getting feverish, hurry and drink it.
I do feel a bit hot. I'll drink it immediately.
How's this weather hot?
Come.
Miss Bai.
I...let me do it myself.
My family members were heedless. You've suffered.
Sorry for having you stay in the book room,
but whenever you're bored, there are lots of books for you to read.
How could I be bored.
There are so many books at your home.
Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com
Your book's upside-down.
I...maybe I'm too...too hot.
I'm turning silly from the fever.
Then don't read anymore books, hurry and go to bed.
Oh yeah, you don't need to worry about your sister. I've sent someone to relay a message.
She knows that you're staying here.
Ok.
You should rest early.
Why am I so nervous?
When I took the imperial exams in that year,
I wasn't even this nervous.
You came back.
Dear.
Why are you so late?
This rain is coming down so fiercely.
In addition, it hasn't been too peaceful recently in our Lin'An City.
So I patrolled the city a bit more.
Where's HanWen, hasn't returned?
How can he come home in such a big rain.
So thankful for this rain, otherwise, Miss Bai would've returned to Western Shu by now.
That's true.
It's not safe to navigate a boat in this rain.
But since Miss Bai won't be able to return to Western Shu,
why aren't you concerned on her behalf, but are happy instead.
I'm going to have a sister-in-law soon.
Why wouldn't I be happy?
Are you really planning on proposing marriage with Master Jin's family?
Proposing what?
HanWen simply has no romantic feelings for RuYi.
Moreover, HanWen's the only male descendent in our Xu family.
How can he marry into his wife's family?
That's true.
You should send all of those betrothal gifts back tomorrow.
Why'd they extinguish?
Immediately go to the kitchen to get some fire.
It's damp!
Scared me! My heart about stopped!
How can you walk without a sound?
Why did it take you so long to get a bit of fire?
Don't be scared, alright? I'll accompany you to the house.
Let's go.
Just the rain falling. Let's go.
It's alright, don't worry.
Need to remove the oil...can treat many kinds of headaches.
Only headaches from deficiency of blood can't be cured.
Sir, please save me.
Miss, you are...
Sir, I was chased by mountain bandits.
Seeing this compound unlocked, I then came in.
Sir, I hope you'll save me.
You were chased by mountain bandits? Then I'll report to the authorities.
Sir, don't go.
Don't leave a girl here alone.
Fortunately, you've rescued me, allowing me to escape.
Your benevolence,
I'm willing to be a maid or servant
to repay you.
This springtime is cold and chilly; Im afraid of cold.
You also seem to suffer from cold.
How about
Why not let me stay here, help you make the bed, warm each other up.
You're virtuous and kind, you'll surely agree to it, right?
Mister,
I'm afraid all by myself...
Afraid?
Beautiful killer, vicious beauty. It's more like people are afraid of you.
Why do you put it like that Mister?
It's already late and the courtyards have been locked.
How did you get into my dwelling?
If you're not willing to tell the truth, then I would have to report to the Magistrate
You! Lady Bai.
She has ill intentions. I'm going to check.
I'll come with you! No need, you stay here!
Help, please officials come! Capture the thief!
How could Dagu propel my spell?
It seems like the spell was modified. It has become more powerful.
- Let me get to the bottom of this. - This spell is strong.
Good thing I changed back into my animal form.
Ms. Bai
It seems like some thief came into this place.
Ms. Bai, what are you doing?
East Sea Dragon Amethyst Bell.
Could it be that they are guardian gods sent by the East Sea Dragon King?
What kind of magical weapon is this? It's so strong.
This is actually the snake demoness, who would have know she is even more beautiful than me.
Who knew that she's prettier than me.
Suzhen.
JingSong, you're back...
I thought...
You thought I return to Emei Mountain by myself didn't you?
Sorry...
Just because of that mortal,
Just by being with him,
Right now I want to stay in Lin-An for a while.
Just for him you are willing to push your thousand years of cultivation to the back?
Guan Yin said
unless I enter the mortal realm, I wouldn't know to renounce the mortal realm.
Thus, I'm going to enter the mortal realm now.
Jing Song, let me be willful this once.
If I can get hold of the spirit pellet from this thousand-year-old snake,
I wouldn't need to imbibe the blood from the mere mortals.
Who is it?
Stop.
I wondered what measly demon it was, its actually just
just a stupid fox demoness who's on our territory
Why isn't it affective?
why don't you go cultivate for another 500 years
just based on your years of cultivation, even 400 years can't do anything against that
Su Zhen
Suzhen, what's the where abouts of that woman? Did they catch it?
Not knowing your own strength.
just half a cistern of cold water can take away your life.
Just based on this mortal, how will he fully protect you?
I am satisfied that he has this intention.
SuZhen, the lady back there, who and from whereabouts was she from?
Did she hurt you?
This is a remote area and there are riches here, it's natural that there are potential thieves.
You don't have to worry.
Sorry...
What do you have to be sorry for?
It is good that you didn't get startled.
I'm a big strong man, how could I be so easily scared?
But as for you, did she scare you?
I worked up some boldness back there, but now I'm feeling afraid.
It's easy to be afraid deep in the night.
How about I just accompany you by your side...
until the day gets bright, and the sun fills the sky, and you won't be as scared.
How evil! I have to obtain this demoness's 1000 year's worth of soul essence (as solidified into a magic pearl within any demon/ness)
And return to me all of my 9 tails
Archive of One Hundred Herbs! I haven't read this book.
This book, it was from that bookshelf that I had recently found it,
perhaps, for others, it is harder to find it
also, the origin of this book came from my family
An unknown writer surnamed Xu.
Hedyotis diffusa is even mentioned in this book
as a gift from a fairy snake in a mountain.
How unusual it is.
Many beings are sentient. Do you believe the story of a fairy snake repaying a favor?
although I've never seen it, I do believe that in this world, anything can happen.
You released that white snake that day. Will she return to repay your kindness?
Then I should wait here for it to give me some divine medicine.
Miss Bai. I just drank ginger soup and my body is hot now.
But you, why are your hands still so cold?
My body has been cold since I was young.
Is this related to your frequent bathing with cold water?
Do you want to take some medicine to supplement your blood?
I don't want to eat any medicine.
You listen. You're a doctor.
How can you not follow medical advice? Otherwise, you could have some chronic illness.
It's impossible.
Have you read the poem "Song of a Fairy in a Cave," by the famous poet Su Dongpo of Shu?
The poem describe Madam Pistil as
having ice-like skin, jade-like bone, and naturally cool to the touch without sweats.
So, this is what it means?
If you are using that as an excuse not to seek medical advice,
it's not good.
If I refuse to seek doctor's advice, what would you do?
Listen to me. As a physician, even though I can't cure everyone's ailment,
I can at least help my own family.
Miss, why don't you sleep some more?
Brother Han Wen will finish his off days today. I'm waiting for his return here.
Help me watch my Father.
Come, come...
Brother Han Wen. Ruyi
You're back.
HanWen! HanWen.
Brother in-law.
- Hello, Brother-in-law. - Xu Xian.
Brat, didn't you stay at the Bai's residence last night?
Your sister is afraid that you got drenched by the rainstorm and would get sick.
Isn't that so? I brought dry clothes for you to change into.
- Let me do it. - Thank you, Miss Ruyi.
Thank you for your concern.
Come here.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me the truth. Do you like that Ms. Bai?
If you like her, I will instruct my subordinates
to check her details. If she's trustworthy,
your older sister and I will arrange your dowry and let you marry her into the family.
Really?
Then thank you for your help brother-in-law.
No need to thank me!
Let's go eat early!
- Miss Ruyi, I'm leaving. - Brother-in-law, take care.
- Come back early.
So that white snake likes Li Gongful's brother-in-law.
The young lady from Jinshi Hall seems very angry.
This is getting more interesting.
Miss Kexin, your jewelries are ready.
Miss Kexin, take a look at what you like.
Keep that gold necklace that's inlaid with jade for me.
Someone will come later to pay the bill.
Take care.
Here, this is your medicine.
- Remember to go home and rest more. - Thank you, Physician.
Today, Quick Mouth Sun Qi will be at Feng Pavilion to talk about a new huaben (book of Chinese short folktales). Come with me, okay?
I have some matters to attend to. I can't go with you.
You can't stop work then.
Why?
My father already said that the physician in Jinshi Hall must treat 30 patients daily before he can leave.
When did he say this?
Moreover, there are not that many patients here in a day.
You should stay here then.
You should know my father's temper.
If you leave early, he will deduct your pay.
I really have something important to attend to.
When Master is back, I will explain to him.
Must you insist on seeing that Bai Shuzhen? I won't allow you.
Ruyi!
You are being fierce to me?
I treat you so well.
I have never complained about you being poor and even mentioned marriage to my father.
You betrayed me because of Bai Shuzhen!
What are you looking at? Go away!
Ruyi, there's no personal relationship between us. How could I have betrayed you?
Even more so, a marriage is a mutual consent between two people who are in love.
I only have Suzhen in my heart. I will only marry her.
There are many handsome young men in Lin An.
- You will definitely... - Shut up!
But clearly you used to like me.
You would let me have the nice food and drinks.
Whatever I wanted to eat, you would buy them from the streets for me.
You are now telling me that there's nothing going on between us?!
Ruyi, I treated you nice, only just as a younger sister.
If I caused you to misunderstand, I will be more careful in the future.
I'm sorry.
Bastard!
Hanwen.
Is she okay?
She's fine. Just let her be alone.
What brings you here?
I...was just passing by.
I fear I will still be working for one and a half hour more.
I overheard what Ruyi said just now.
She said that you need to see 30 patients per day. It's too tough.
I know some medical skills. I don't have anything to do and I'm bored.
Why don't I help you?
Thank you.
You are weak in the spleen and stomach.
I'll prescribe some spleen-strengthening medication for you.
Okay, thank you. - Go back and take your medicines on time.
- You will recover soon. - Okay.
Suzhen, add some Angelica Sinensis.
Master Jin, check these item by item.
Everything's here. Nothing will be missing.
Li Gongfu, when you take charge,
I don't have to worry.
Then this is it. I won't escort you out.
That's fine. Then I'll take my leave, Master Jin.
- Take care. - Okay, no need to see me off.
Sorry I won't escort you out.
Look at these.
Don't. You can't.
I spent a lot of money to buy this.
It's top-grade blue and white porcelain. It's very expensive. Don't touch it.
What's going on?
This...
Their family feel that they are too low in status.
They are saying that our business is becoming bigger.
Xu Xian is not worthy of you.
Business is becoming bigger?
Jinshi Hall won't belong to our Jin family soon.
Nonsense! I spit on it.
Shut up now.
This is our inherited business. No one can take it away.
Go and look at that Bai Shuzhen.
She's here everyday at Jinshi Hall. She won't leave.
Xu Xian already told me that she's here to help him.
This is a non-salaried employee. It's great.
What can she help with, Father?
Aren't you afraid that she would prescribe the wrong medicine?
Or she's unethical?
Xu Xian was kind to let her work but we don't know her background.
How can we use her?
This...
Ruyi, you make sense.
I'm going to watch her now and see how she is.
- Yes, go now. - Okay.
Suzhen, are you tired?
Go and rest and drink some tea.
This way.
Are these your notes?
Suzhen, I wrote these for fun when I was young. Don't look at these.
You already have these notes then?
Since you aspired to enter the government so as to help more people, then why...
I was not that busy then and I love to read these. I stop reading them later.
Why did you stop?
When my father was in the Imperial Hall, he was harmed by a traitor.
My mother was worried that I would follow his footsteps
so she didn't allow me to enter the civil service.
Now, you are dismissed from your Imperial Censor position,
banished to the southern mountain range and never to be employed again.
Father! Father!
Father!
Don't cry. You are not allowed to cry. Don't let your Father see you cry.
The both of you are not allowed to cry.
I will definitely prove my father's innocence one day.
Don't.
Your Father
wants to see you living well.
I will definitely safeguard the descendants of the Xu family.
I won't let Hanwen follow your footsteps.
Don't worry.
- Mother, my books! Why are you tearing them? - I told you many times.
You are not allowed to read these. Why are you disobeying me?
My child, it's more important to have a good doctor than a good minister in chaotic times.
I've already reached an agreement with Master Jin of Li An's Ji Shi Pharmacy.
In a few days, I will let you go to the city
You will study under Master Jin as his apprentice.
Learn good medical skills from him.
Even if I die, I refuse to go!
When I was young, I was ignorant
till my Mother got into an accident.
I didn't managed to apologize to her.
But my mother was right. It's more important to have a good doctor than a good minister in chaotic times.
Today, I can only use my medical skills
to save the people.
It's also considered that I didn't disappoint my Mother's wish.
You have already done well.
It's thank to Master who taught me since I was young, that I could become a physician.
Ruyi is his only daughter.
Like me, she lost her mother when she was young.
I regarded her as my younger sister since I was young. I could have spoiled her.
These days, you were probably hurt by her chatty words.
It's not at all. Since you regard her as your younger sister,
I will do so too. I won't dispute with her.
Suzhen.
Ruyi really hit the mark.
You are indeed here slacking off. Xu Xian.
Physician.
Madam, are you here to consult the physician. I'm the physician.
You are a man. How can you treat her? She's here to consult a female physician.
Female physician? We...
Madam Zhou, how's your illness?
I used your prescription and I'm so much better.
You are here for consultation.
Let me take your pulse then.
Take this and you will recover.
Thank you, Miss Bai.
These are for you. Hope you'll accept these humble gifts.
I...can't accept this, Madam.
Thank you, Madam Zhou.
The medical skills in Jinshi Hall are the best.
We guarantee that you'll get the right medicine to help you recover.
Take care.
Master, why were you looking for me just now?
I looked for you...
It was to tell you to take good care of Miss Bai.
Miss Bai, if you are free, come and visit us often
Discuss medicine with Han Wen. Drink some tea.
We are family.
A family.
Father! Did you get rid of Bai SuZhen?
This...I...Ruyi did you know
With men running the medicine shop there is the inconvenience regarding gynecology.
With Bai Suzhen here our Jishi Hall can treat anything.
Also she didn't mention anything about compensation.
Father (x4) Aren't you afraid she might prescribe the wrong medicine?
- And ruin our reputation? - How can that be?
Her medical skills are superb.
Take a look, these are from the patients. They are all right here.
I think if Han Wen marries her
our Jishi Hall would gain another female physician.
Father, how is it that you have also been tricked by her.
You promised me, you would bethrow me to Xuxian.
Why are you still talking about this? They won't let Xuxian marry into the brides family.
They've already sent all the gifts back.
Ruyi you can relax. Father will find a
person whose a thousand even ten thousand times better than Xu Xian and get you married.
I don't want anyone else. I only want Xu Xian.
Ruyi you shouldn't throw your temper around like that.
Listen to your father.
What is up with you rat spirits making everybody your enemy all day long?
Is there anyone here?
There must have been a person or demon that was here.
I see it as you looking for an excuse to enter elder sister's room.
Stop wasting your time, elder sister doesn't have time to deal with you.
As the moon raises above the willow tree.
A person makes an appointment after nightfall.
Physician Xu is inviting elder sister to go look at the moon.
What are you doing?
As if he's qualified.
What does it matter rather you think he is qualified or not? As long as elder sister is happy to be with him.
At the very least Physician Xu got elder sister to stay in Lin-An City.
This I am fine with.
You can't go make trouble.
Jing Song wait for me. Come back.
Don't run! Come back!
That bit of vital male energy I got from Xu Xian
Has finally come to good use.
Bai Suzhen.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
Beat you to death. Beat you to death.
Junior sister Ruyi, don't hit it anymore.
If you keep hitting it'll hurt my heart.
What do you come here for?
Shouldn't you be at Jishi Hall with your Lady Bai?
Miss Bai is not as important as you.
Lying!
That Bai Suzhen is quite plain.
Can't even compete with my junior sister Ruyi.
Charmingly delicate such as tender peach blossom.
Golden rat spirit.
Xu Xian?
