You are a mark of memory.
Love comes quietly.
I paint you without knowing.
You are a diary in my heart.
Sometimes, it can be casual.
Sometimes, every word is remembered clearly.
I search to meet you by chance.
I'm most willing to lose to you.
Your love is irreplaceable.
Untie all the knots in your mind. Tell me.
This dream finally ends now.
This moment is when
the fragrance of flowers pervades the sky.
The air seems to deliver electric shocks.
The faces look elated.
Waiting as the wind blows over.
Love arrives. The whole season
believes in the fable of happiness.
Until the end.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful.
The Chang'An Youth
Episode 8
Yang Zi'an definitely went to make merry.
I have said that he got changed
and walked into a tumbledown yard.
How could he have gone to make merry?
Zi'an is not a sluttish and frivolous man.
Today he said improper words.
There must be a reason for him to do so.
Yes.
I just thought that he was hiding something from us.
So I followed him all the way.
Fearing that he might discern me,
I hid myself at the wall corner.
But as I turned away, he stepped into the yard.
Stop your wild guesses.
Zi'an must have his own plan.
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry up!
Chop-chop!
Shake a leg!
OK.
- Good work! - You, too!
Hurry! Hurry!
Boss,
all men are here.
Make clear the rules to them.
Yes, sir!
Take off their blindfolds.
Yes!
Listen up, all of you!
You are brought here
to do very simple work
that is easy to learn.
As long as you work hard,
I promise
all of you
will be free from worrying about food and clothes for generations ahead.
Really? Such a good thing can happen?
Though it is easy to make money,
there are some rules for you.
The first rule is that
you must concentrate on work
and must not talk.
Another rule is that you must not escape.
Anyone who violates the rules will be killed.
Are you clear?
Yes.
Boss.
Get them to work.
She will be here soon.
Yes.
Untie the ropes!
Get them to work!
Yes!
Men's greed has no end.
What do you mean?
I am not well-educated, so I can't understand your words.
Greed will do you no good.
I know.
You are dissatisfied with this batch of money for their bad quality, right?
In addition,
I have told my men
to exchange three out of one.
The worst outcome for us is to make less.
This person in black
turned out to be the mastermind for making bad money.
It is a pity that I can't see her face.
Here is the share for your master.
I have changed it into gold bars.
For every quarter to come,
I will prepare it in time.
Who is there?
Even if you have to kill the wrong people,
you can't afford to be light-hearted.
I know very well in my heart.
I won't spoil the great cause.
So many people here.
No.
I have to go back to notify Tangtang and the others.
You again!
Catch him!
Yes.
Boss,
no one was found.
We'd rather kill 100 people by mistake than let one escape.
Go on searching. Search them one by one.
Yes, sir!
You, go there. You, over there!
Yes.
Behave yourself!
If anyone dares to be unruly,
he won't have food to eat every day.
You will also get beaten.
Did you hear?
Bro, let me do it!
Stop!
Stop running!
You dared to escape while I was eating.
See how I will punish you taking you back. Go!
Boss, I am back.
Today I have achieved good results and fetched three men.
Bro,
have we met before?
Bro, you must be joking.
I was born into a poor family.
You may have seen me when recruiting workers somewhere.
No, I have really seen you before.
Yang Zi'an!
Yang Zi'an?
I remember you now.
Go!
Yang Zi'an!
You are holding the hand of a wrong person.
It is late.
Why hasn't Dieyi come back?
Do you think
it is possible that Dieyi has gone to look for Yang Zi'an?
My trigram indicates that Dieyi is in danger.
Yiyi did say he would go to look for Yang Zi'an.
Then he must have gone to the yard.
Then what are we waiting for?
Yang Zi'an.
Are you a fool?
Weren't you aware that you were holding the wrong hand?
It was such an emergent situation back then.
I just couldn't see clearly.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have followed you.
Now it may cost my life.
I didn't ask you to follow me.
They are all desperados.
You were so impulsive just now.
Do you know how dangerous it was?
You can't blame me at such a time.
OK.
Now we are in a critical condition.
We must figure out a way to escape.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
It is lucky that on the way here,
I have left flour as marks.
I hope Dugu, Tangtang and the others
could find us following the marks.
Dieyi!
We can't only anchor our hope on others.
We must figure out a way by ourselves.
It will be simple.
Don't, don't move.
Dieyi,
if you are not...
What?
No, nothing.
I want to say that
if
you can get out of here alive,
what will be the thing you want to do the most?
If I can get out of here alive,
I must taste the food you cook.
Untied!
Hush!
Hurry! Get out of here quickly!
Who is there?
Someone is escaping!
Run!
Stop running!
Hurry to chase them! Don't let him escape!
Hurry! Catch them!
Don't run! Catch them!
Stop! Don't run!
Dieyi!
What should we do?
It is so late, but we still couldn't find Dieyi.
Could anything bad have happened to him?
Tangtang, he will surely be fine. He'll be fine.
Stop! Stop!
Don't run! Catch them quickly!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
They can't escape.
Get onto my back!
Hurry, over here!
Stop!
Catch them!
The marks left by Dieyi disappeared around here.
He must be nearby. Let's search the place carefully!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Go!
Zi'an.
I guess they have stopped chasing us.
Let me get down.
Dieyi!
Why am I hearing people are calling my name?
It should be that people are looking for us around here.
Tangtang!
It must be Tangtang and the others.
Let's go to see them.
Go!
Dieyi!
There are officers and soldiers.
Leave!
Dieyi!
Tangtang!
Dieyi!
Tangtang, I am here.
Dieyi!
Dieyi,
are you all right?
Are you injured?
Where have you been?
I have been so worried about you.
Why are you with him?
Tangtang,
you asked so many questions at a time.
Which one should I answer first?
Rest assured! I am fine.
We were locked up in a shabby house.
This matter is related to the bad money case.
Mr. Yang, do you still remember the location of the shabby house?
Just over there.
Go across the bridge and there it is.
Please take trouble to check it out, officers.
Don't worry, Mr. Yang! Guys, follow me!
The rest of you shall go canvass that area.
Yes!
Dieyi.
Let's talk after going back.
They are all injured.
Go! Go! Let's go back first.
Take care!
How come things turned out this way?
Get out of the way, all of you!
You are crowding around Mr. Shen, how can I treat him?
Right, right.
It is just common sprain.
It is not serious.
He will recover after a few days' rest.
It's not serious?
Dieyi is injured like this.
How can you say it is not serious?
At least, you should prescribe some medication.
Only hot compress with a towel is necessary.
It will be fine.
Doctor, how can you...
Tangtang,
I am fine.
Doctor, please take trouble to
examine Mr. Yang's injury.
Dugu,
he has been expelled from Shangyi School.
Why do you mind him?
Tangtang,
Zi'an had his unspoken reasons for doing that previously.
Your words are too harsh.
My words are harsh?
He
threw a tantrum inexplicably.
He also caused you to be injured.
How could you say I have gone too far?
Do you know how worried I am
since you have been missing for so long?
I searched every place and failed to find you.
I was almost scared to death.
Now how can you say I treated him unkindly?
Please, Tangtang.
Sorry!
I shouldn't have said that.
I wronged you.
It's my fault, all right?
Tangtang.
Drop it! It's fine.
I didn't blame you.
I am just anxious.
Now you are back in one piece.
I can finally set my mind at rest.
I know you are good to me.
Thank you!
Need I examine this student or not?
Yes, please.
Please give Mr. Yang treatment.
Zi'an,
what happened exactly?
Why have you been with Dieyi?
Xinyuan,
it's a long story.
Today it is getting late.
Tomorrow,
I will explain it in details to all of you.
Everybody,
time to go to bed.
Dieyi,
have a good rest tonight.
I will visit you tomorrow with some delicious food.
Have a rest early.
It's almost done.
I just got muddled.
Am I muddled?
Do I need to taste the chicken soup cooked by a good cook like me?
It is delicious judging by its smell.
Zi'an,
I cooked the chicken soup for you.
When you finish your work in a while,
remember to eat it.
Thank you!
Hurry up!
Chop-chop!
Xinyuan.
Yang Zi'an.
I am sorry to have wronged you previously.
But then again,
I must say it is not your business to investigate the case.
You also took Dieyi with you.
If anything bad happened to Dieyi,
you should know the consequence...
Tangtang,
stop saying this.
Dieyi,
Tangtang said the right thing.
I really caused you to have been injured.
I am fine.
But your investigation has been delayed by me.
Now all clues have been gone.
What should we do?
We can do nothing.
The officers have searched the mountain fastness.
The bad money has been transferred.
Only the mintage tools and iron water were left.
How about the people caught and detained by them?
Those porters were either kidnapped by them
or bought by them at high prices.
They don't know who the mastermind is at all.
Then...
This time I have spoiled something big.
It's all my fault.
I am to blame.
Then let's
try to figure out a way.
Master,
I know I have made a mistake.
What mistake?
I didn't handle things well.
Two students of Shangyi School were investigating the bad money.
Then my subordinates
took them to the mint.
Students of Shangyi School?
Do you know who they are exactly?
I sent my men to inquire about them.
They should be Shen Dieyi and Yang Zi'an.
You have served me for so many years.
How can you still act so recklessly now?
Listen up!
If that person has any trouble,
you will not be able to atone for your crime even if you die 10,000 times.
I am sorry, master.
If the imperial court continues with the investigation,
we will be implicated sooner or later.
You must figure out a way to divert the attention.
You should know what to do.
I need not remind you, right?
Rest assured, master.
I will handle it properly.
Therefore, later, someone will...
Zi'an.
Dieyi, wait for me!
Don't you have anything to tell me?
Are you intending to evade me all the time like this?
Sorry!
Why did you apologize to me?
If I hadn't been unable to make clear the situation
and had disrupted your plan,
you would not have been so distressed.
So you evaded me for this reason.
I am not angry with you for this.
Then I am relieved.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
These days I even dare not speak in a high voice in front of you.
It has been so hard for me.
How are you progressing with the case?
No clues yet.
It's a pity that the officers
destroyed all evidence in their search.
If a mold
or a letter remains,
we will also be able to find some clues.
Dieyi, thank you!
You are so smart!
To make bad money, the mold matters the most.
The money mold is under the supreme protection of the imperial court.
Only a few people have access to it.
Just leave the rest to me.
Dieyi,
thank you!
My pleasure!
It's good that you figured it out.
I will go clean myself first.
I can't wait. I must report to His Majesty right now.
= Great Yu Mint=
Who is it?
Disperse!
Yes!
= The Unity of Knowledge and Action =
Today I called you two here
to announce a piece of good news to you.
Through your efforts,
the bad money case
that had created such a stir in Chang'An recently was cracked.
His Majesty especially granted rewards to you two.
You will be given 50 credits each
and the privilege of being exempted from punishment once
no matter what error you commit
in Shangyi School.
Doctor,
can I refuse the credits?
I want to get a second privilege of being held unaccountable.
Nonsense!
It's His Majesty's decree.
How can you change it randomly?
Yes.
Forgive me to take the liberty to ask, Dr. Lin.
Have the officials involved in the bad money case been punished?
Well, about this.
A managerial personnel of the mint
committed suicide for fear of being punished.
In the mint, the guards
have found the letters proving his collusion with the smugglers' leader.
He also wrote in his suicide note
about how he provided the smugglers' leader with the mintage mold
and how they divided the spoils.
In this case, the smuggler's leader colluded with the official
and it ended with the suicide of the official.
His Majesty has ordered all bad money to be destroyed.
Suicide?
OK.
This matter has come to an end.
Take leave now, you two.
Thank you a lot, Dr. Lin!
Over all these years,
we have been sealing letters with wax all the time
for vouchers and passing on messages.
My Lord, out of a sudden,
why do you want the wax seal to be made in batches
and distributed to street vendors for sale?
The bad money thing is exposed,
if any clues are revealed,
they may track us down.
By then we would be doomed.
As for the wax seal,
if only I possess it,
it is called evidence of the crime.
If everyone possesses it,
it will be just a commodity.
By then, how can they track me down?
I see.
But why do you want to use this pattern?
Working for me,
you must know the dos and don'ts
as well as what can be asked and what can't.
I am sorry!
= Shangyi School =
Where is she?
She was here just now.
Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen, you came.
Wait up!
Miss Han, as the noble daughter of the Han family,
why are you like the chopped green pinions in the dish
and showing up everywhere?
I am here to see Mr. Shen. It's none of your business.
Moreover,
Mr. Shen took the initiative to invite me this time.
Miss Han,
have you received my letter?
I didn't expect Mr. Shen
would invite me voluntarily for an outing.
Outing?
Even if you are invited for an outing,
the date for it has not come yet.
Why does it concern you?
I became so happy as soon as I received the letter.
Therefore, I rushed here the moment I was freed from being grounded.
I want to give this
to Mr. Shen at the earliest time.
A girl gives away a jade pedant?
What's the problem with that?
I carved it with my own hands.
A virtuous gentleman is usually compared to lustrous jade.
Men give each other jade as the token of friendship.
If a girl gives jade to a man,
I am afraid it will not be proper.
Exactly.
If I want the jade, it should be given by Zi'an.
Dieyi, what nonsense are you talking?
If you want the jade, I should be the one to give it to you.
Mr. Shen,
no,
Shen,
you don't need to use Mr. Yang as an excuse anymore.
Tang Jiuhua has told me everything.
About what happened on that day,
you just put on a play in front of me purposefully.
It was your test of my feelings for you.
From now on, I will do everything
as you wish, Mr. Shen.
I didn't.
Tang Jiuhua!
Dieyi!
I didn't.
What irresponsible remarks you have made!
You have gone too far!
You could coordinate in Mr. Shen's play.
I also made you coordinate with me in my play.
You! I... Come back!
Yang Zi'an,
you have heard what we talked just now.
When I explain myself to Dieyi later,
you must vouch for me.
Forget it!
Dieyi!
Don't follow me!
Listen to my explanation.
You betrayed me.
Han Yu'er just made it up.
She put on the performance.
How come I made friends with you?
She playacted.
I see you as my friend.
You, you, leave!
Will you leave or not?
Shen,
stop using Mr. Yang as an excuse.
Tang Jiuhua has told me everything.
About what happened on that day,
you just put on a play in front of me purposefully.
= Your cyan skirt has always caught my heart. Your cyan belt-stone has always disturbed my thought. =
So Dieyi has been playacting.
Why should I take it seriously
and even have the extravagant hope that he could...
Yang Zi'an,
get clear-minded!
Your cyan skirt has always caught my heart.
Well,
this is the handwriting of Bro Zi'an.
Could he?
= Notice: All students, the dorm allocation for the second year is as declared on the right. Please check it out! =
I am wondering
who will share the same dorm with me?
You snored like thunder during sleep.
Whoever shares the dorm with you will be unlucky.
Who likes to share a dorm with you?
It's better than you passing wind at midnight.
Hush!
Boss, I don't want to part with you.
I must share the same dorm with Tang Jiuhua.
Then a lot of trouble will be avoided.
Please. Please.
Doctor!
It is time for the dorm rotation.
I hope all of you could be friendly to your new roommate, help each other
and make common progress.
Now I will announce the new dorm allocation list.
Room No.1 of East Wing
will be taken by Yang Zi'an and Dugu Muxue.
Room No.2 of East Wing
will be taken by Shen Dieyi and Li Xinyuan.
So good, Dieyi.
I finally can take good care of you now.
Xinyuan,
follow me.
Room No.3 of East Wing
will be taken by Tang Jiuhua and Bai Shaoqian.
Boss, we will still live in the same room.
Room No.4 of East Wing
will be taken by Wang Jinbao and Wang Zhaocai.
Dieyi,
why are you acting in such a mysterious way?
Could we
exchange our dorms?
Exchange our dorms?
Why should we swap our dorms?
Dr. Lin has determined the dorm allocation list.
I am afraid we can't swap them.
We need not ask for Dr. Lin's permission.
We can swap them in private.
In private?
Is it proper?
It will be easy for others to find out this.
You see,
after the dorm lights go out every evening,
Bai, who is the roommate of Tangtang, and I
will swap dorms.
Neither you nor Bai will spill the beans.
Nobody will find it out.
Dieyi,
do you dislike sharing the same room with me?
No, I don't.
Diviner, don't get me wrong.
Do you have any
unspeakable secret?
Secret?
What secret?
Impossible. Impossible.
OK. OK.
We will not swap them.
Let's go to have the class.
Dieyi,
I have got to know your secret.
But when will you
come to know my feelings for you?
Dieyi,
what should we do now?
Let's forget it.
I have lived under the same roof with Zi'an for so long.
There have been no problems.
To share a room with Xinyuan,
I will be careful.
What worries me is the outing thing.
Don't worry!
I will talk with Han Yu'er skillfully
and won't allow her to sense any irregularity.
I am not talking about this.
Then what are you talking about?
Do you know that
during the outing,
there is one activity
requiring all students
to go into the stream water of Green Stream Valley
to wash off the dirt and filth.
Isn't it a bath?
What?
Tang Jiuhua, why don't you say this earlier?
Over the past several days, I, I have been thinking about
the wax seal single-mindedly.
So I forgot it.
Then maybe you should not go.
We can find another chance later.
No.
It is a rare chance.
I must ask her and make it out.
If such is the case,
then we can only play it by ear.
Well,
you must tell
others that you can't swim.
All schoolmates,
after we reach the outing location in a while,
we can chant poems and compose couplets heartily.
I also brought the seven-stringed zither.
So I can play it to liven things up for us.
How do you like it, everyone?
Good! Good! Good!
By then I will dance to the music.
You are the students of Shangyi School,
so you must mind your behavior during the outing.
How indecent for you to make such noise!
Doctor! Teaching Assistant!
For this outing,
it is lucky that the Black-faced Master and Dr. Lin will be in charge
instead of Teaching Assistant Yang.
It is really a silver lining.
All students,
Dr. Lin isn't feeling very well today
and can't make the trip with you.
For this outing,
Chief's Teaching Assistant and I will lead you there.
OK. Let's set out!
Speaking of the devil, here he is.
With this teaching assistant,
the fun of the outing will reduce by half.
Don't mind it.
We will see him as air.
We will play as we like.
When will Han Yu'er come?
Right, where is that little witch?
Dieyi,
when I was a child, on that mountain...
Shen!
I thought she wouldn't come.
Shen!
I finally found you.
I have been looking for you for a long time.
Miss Yu'er.
I am so noisy.
You won't blame me, will you?
No, I won't.
Miss Han,
as a girl,
how can you hang out with boys?
Doctor,
there are many talents in Shangyi School.
My dad said that
I should learn from these students
as much as possible.
Doctor,
since Miss Han is here,
please allow her to stay with us.
so we can take care of her.
Yes.
You don't have the heart to
leave a girl like me alone
in the middle of nowhere, do you?
Teaching Assistant Yang,
in the depth of the Green Stream Valley,
there is a recluse,
who is my intimate friend.
I must pay him a visit.
In this place,
you can enjoy yourselves.
Teaching Assistant Yang,
please keep an eye on them.
OK.
Set your mind at ease, Doctor.
Doctor, take care!
Ming your steps!
All students,
during this outing,
the most important objective
is to wash off the dirt and filth in the stream.
OK.
Everybody, don't sit on the banks.
Now,
let's have some fun!
OK. OK. OK.
Miss Han,
let's go over there for a talk.
OK.
The scenery here is so beautiful!
Shen,
let's sit down here for some time.
OK.
Miss Han,
here is the letter from you.
Have you read it, Shen?
Yes, I did.
Then Shen, how do you like it?
I think it is very special.
I can see your feelings for me, Miss Han.
Even
the wax seal on it
is so special.
It's good you like it.
I want to ask you.
This decorative pattern is so nice.
Is it only possessed by your Han family?
Can I buy it somewhere else?
If you like it, I will give one to you.
Give me one?
Yes.
It is only a wax seal.
There are piles of it in our Han family.
This decorative pattern is so special.
Are you sure it is not exclusive to your Han family?
Shen, do you like this pattern?
I will carve one for you.
It is not difficult.
Shen.
Help!
Shen fell into the water!
Help!
Shen fell into the water!
Help!
Where is he?
Over there!
It is screwed!
Zi'an! Zi'an! You!
Help!
I seem to have been bitten by something.
It hurts so much!
Dieyi!
It must be a water snake.
It hurts so much!
Help!
Give me a hand!
Go up by yourself!
Dieyi!
Sinan Pendant!
Dieyi!
Where have I left it?
Dieyi!
Xinyuan!
You, why are you here?
Mr. Shen!
Dieyi,
someone is coming. Hide yourself first.
Hurry up!
Greetings to you, Your Highness Second Prince.
You...
What are you saying?
I
have known Your Highness's identity for a long time.
But His Highness Crown Prince ordered me not to tell it.
So I
didn't mention your identity in the school.
He revealed my identity just now.
Dieyi should get to know it.
Diviner
turned out to be His Highness Second Prince.
How come?
Sir,
do you have anything else to say?
Sir,
if there is nothing else,
you can take leave now.
Yes, Your Highness!
Dieyi! Dieyi!
Come out quickly.
Xinyuan,
so you are the second prince?
So you are a girl?
You.
Sorry
to have hidden it from you.
It's all right.
Since we have known
each other's secrets.
Let's keep each other's secrets to ourselves.
A word spoken.
Is an arrow let fly.
Dieyi,
well,
hurry to put on this garment.
Be careful not to get a cold.
How about you?
I am fine.
Hurry, take it!
Thank you, Xinyuan!
You leave first.
Be careful not to be found by others.
You are such a good friend!
I am leaving.
Yang Zi'an,
how does it concern you?
I should be the one to look for Dieyi.
Dieyi!
Tangtang.
Where have you been just now?
I...
My clothes got wet and I dried it downstream.
Well...
Tangtang.
What is the matter?
I lost my Sinan Pendant.
You lost it?
Where did you lose it?
After I got out of the water, I lost sight of it.
Let's hurry to find it.
Let's go!
Wait up, Dieyi!
Did you drop this?
Yes, it is!
Thank you, Xinyuan!
Luckily, it was found.
It is good it was found.
Shen!
Are you all right?
I am fine.
I have looked around for you, but didn't see you.
As long as you are fine, I will be relieved.
This is the best-quality jade.
What?
Have you ever seen it?
No, I haven't.
But this decorative pattern is very pretty.
Since you have never seen it,
return it to me.
What decorative patterns?
This
is the family heirloom of Dieyi.
Come on, Dieyi!
Keep it well.
You don't seem to have seen much of the world.
What did you say about me?
You are the one who doesn't see much of the world.
Do you believe that I will beat you?
What are you doing?
- Stop running! - Freeze!
What are you doing?
Stop running!
How come there is a person like you?
Have you lost your mind?
Follow me.
Yang Zi'an!
What are you doing?
Yang Zi'an, what are you doing?
What is the matter?
Since you can't swim, you shouldn't have got close to the water.
If anything bad happens to you, what should I do?
Do you know how much I...
how much we worried about you?
Why are you so angry?
You are so careless every time.
Can't you protect yourself well?
He cares about me so much.
I got it. I won't do it again.
Dare you do it again?
No, dare not.
I promise I will never do it again.
I was wrong.

Zi'an.

I couldn't give him this chance.
Therefore, once I fell into the water,
I struggled and tried
to climb up the bank.
You were in such great danger just now.
How could you joke about it?
I didn't joke about it. I was telling the truth.
♪ Playing the unknown game... ♪
Don't get angry!
I am not angry.
♪ I want to bask in the sun with you. ♪
You are.
You are angry indeed.
No, I am not.
You are. If you are not angry, just look at me.
Look at me!
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
♪ You just need to accept my love. ♪
You look so handsome being like this.
Smile.
Beat me! Beat me! Beat me!
So you are not angry anymore?
You are not angry.
Look back at that day.
Memories slip through time.
Caress your face in the air.
For a moment,
it's partly visible.
Thinking about you day and night.
Many scenes
come to mind.
Time stops.
Hard to sleep.
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
Maybe
every time we pass by each other,
we do it because destiny says so.
How to bury the past between me and you?
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
The figure
blurs in the wind.
The smile is flowery.
Right now, all I want to say is
I love you.
