I couldn't sleep because of your drug
and you are asking me if I fell better
Get out now
Zhou Ying
Young Master wants you
Now
Young Master, you want me?
Look at my eyes
I kicked Osteopath Wang out
You'll take care of me
Well
I'd like to
but at a price
How dare you
to make a deal here
No beating me or reprimanding me
and
nice food and drink
no labor work
I'll slap you to hell
Go ahead
Can you stand on your feet, I wonder
I
Young Master, I think I've done here
Wait. Stop there
I can kick you out of the house
I doubt it
I've to teach you a lesson
to show you who is to give orders
Linglong
Come here
Coming, coming
What's up, Young Master
Call Auntie Duan now
and kick this maid out of here
Yes
Hold on
Forget about it
What did you say?
What is the price you offered just now?
Food, drink, play, and fun
Agreed
Aren't you kicking me out?
No
Why?
It's a decision
You just said you'd kick me out
Forget it. Stop the nonsense
Anyway I promise you, no beating or reprimanding
Good food, no labor work
It's done. Apply the plaster now
The Minister of Revenue added an order
10,000 plasters
Offer the price of last year
But I heard the Shen Family had already given an offer
Thirty percent lower than ours
That's below the cost
Yes
Shen Sihai finally is about to make a move
A plaster order makes no big money
maybe just thousands of taels
They shouldn't have to
They don't come for money
but for dignity
In this case
Why don't we give them the dignity?
How about the dignity of the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family?
Dad, you've seen much
Don't you take it?
I do
But I just can't give it up
Alright. Well
I've another idea in mind
This one
Your bet is set
It should be in it
Pay for it
One more round?
One more round
Do it slowly
Sure
Watch it
No, this one
Pay for it
One more round
Enough. Tomorrow
Are you disobeying me?
I said one more round
I am the Master, not you
I'll slap you
Hey you
Where are you going
Go get the whip
We'll see who needs it
I was joking
I won't do it
Come here, talk to me
Come on, have some snack
Alright
What are you interested today?
Tell me about you
Where are you from
What do you parents do
Can't tell
Why
That'd get someone killed
Are you serious?
Actually
I am
a princess of the imperial palace
My dad is the emperor
and mom the queen
I was smuggled out of the palace
then drifted around the world
You are lying
Of course I am
Tell me the truth
Ok. The truth
My dad is not the emperor
He is
a wolf
A wolf?
I was abandoned
and was thrown to the mountain
A wolf raised me up
Do I look like a fool?
I'm not the one who lies
Who does?
My foster father
He told me the stories
I know nothing about my parents
Where is your foster father now?
Don't know
I haven't seen him since
he sold me to this house
I promise
As long as I'm here
You may stay here for your whole life
My whole life?
Just behave yourself
Don't break the rule
I will treat you well
Take that claw away
Lunch ready
Coming
Coming
Lunch time
Xing could sit up yesterday
and less pain
Osteopath Wang did well
Actually he did not
His cure worked too slowly
A maid gives a folk prescription
which works well
Is it?
That maid should be rewarded
I got it
Well
Hope Xing turns over a new leaf
The beating is worthy
Hope so
I has an idea in mind
Xing's grown up
He needs a woman beside him
So he'd not waste life in theatres
With a woman to talk and give advices
He'd be a decent man
You're right, mom
Think of it
If one of his maids is fine
Xing would take her
Yes. I'll keep an eye on this
Give it to me
Making fun of me?
Sis, sis, sis
Forgive me. Forgive me
Give it to me
Young Master gave it to me
Give it to me. Now
I give up. I give up
I give up. I give up
Let me go. Sis
I'll take Zhou Ying
She
May not be suitable
Why not?
She is new here
Ungracious
and wild
Mom, you said I have the say
My choice is Zhou Ying
What choice?
Brother
Mom
I was telling him
about getting him a woman
Petty thing
Mom will make a decision
Are you getting better?
Almost
Listen to me
Do not make trouble any more
Do something decent
What is decent?
Doing business
Dad and you handle business
I would mess up
Then go reading
I talked with dad about this several days ago
If one of the Shen Fmily becomes an official
it will make big differences
Brother, why don't you go for a rank?
I'm poor at reading
Well, you know
You are poor at it
How come I could be good at it?
You
Not business, not reading
What do you want?
I just have fun day after day
and run a life of pleasure
You. That's great
Mom. Look at him
He did it on purpose
Xing, say sorry to your brother
I'm sorry
When I get recovered
I would rethink what I've done
Correct my mistakes and mend my ways
And turn over a new leaf
Garrulous
Mom, he hit me
Was… was that hitting?
What do you call that?
Well, this is called hitting
You mean it? Hit you out
You urchin. Help
Xing told me
he wants Zhou Ying
She's wild and tough
You have a better choice?
A maid named Linglong
who has been serving him for 4 or 5 years
Diligent, honest and steady
I prefer her
Just a full-time maid
A tough girl
never upstages her master
He will take her
But…
Give him what he dislike
He will not stay in the house
and would fool around
Mom is right
It will be Zhou Ying
Linglong, refill my tea
I'll show something amazing
Nothing in it
An egg!
It's mine
It's my breakfast
Swallowed down
The bag
is empty
Stingy
I just ate your egg
No big deal
Fine, fine. Give it back to you.
Here you are
That was amazing!
How did you do that? Teach me
This is a secret
It goes down to my son
You've got to call me mom
to trade it
I'll slap you
Try it
I was kidding. Teach me
Take it. Think it out
Hand off
Good tea. Give me a cup of this
Serve yourself
What's wrong today?
Not yet married up
but giving orders
That's fine
I'll do it myself
I'll go for tea
Let me do it
I'm fine
Back to your work. I'm fine
It's OK.
Can't bother you with such things
Sis Zhou Ying
Let me serve you tea
Sis?
You called me damn girl yesterday
and sis now?
Well, pardon me please
A great woman is generous
Don't keep it in mind
Please, your tea
Why are you all weird today?
Young Master
Don't you know yet?
Zhou Ying
She is here
Mistress needs her
Coming
Sis
Go for it now. Good news waiting
Go, go, go
What? Pay raise?
Much better than that
Coming
That's the good news
As usual
You will take care of Xing in his room
Your monthly pay
will be raised from 200 copper cash to 2 taels of silver
If you has children with him
You'll be a concubine
As a new comer
Mistress and Dowager
grant you such an honor
On your knees for the favor
Mistress, I'd like to be a common maid
Why
I never thought of marrying Junior Young Master
How rude. Watch your words
It's not up to you
You mean my own fate
is not up to me?
You
Zhou Ying
So, you've made your choice
Yes
Full-time maid or concubine
I don't even want to be his wife
What? She does not want it
How?
You may leave
Yes, Mistress
Mistress, I'm sorry
She is a new comer
She's not clear of the rules
I promise
I will…
Put it aside
Bring Xing
Yes
Young Master
Do you know
that my mom suffers stomachache again because of you
I did nothing
You are bloody offensive
I'm done talking with you
That is a favor and you refused it
And the favor goes by force
What do you want?
Exercising the right of a Young Master
Let me go. Let me go
You rogue
Go to hell
Get her
You dared to kick me
and offend my mom
Do you know that
mom disapproved of it
I begged grandma
and she accepted you
And you
You declined
You ask for it
What? Scared?
Beg me
Beg me to take you and I'll pardon you
How dare you wicked girl
I'll slash you to hell
Shut the door
Young Master Wu Ping is here
No feeding her
Starve the ungrateful
The manager of my crude medicine shop reported
there was a plaster order
But the offer was from him
I've got to ask him about it
Dad, that's not necessary
I made the offer
Bro Wu Ping
Since you know our price
You may offer 10 percent lower
You don't have to come for negotiation
It would be simple
to give a lower offer
But I wonder
Is it good for any of us?
I'll put it in this way
The Shen Family loses nothing
But the Wu Family loses a lot
Well, business
means profits or losses
Such petty loss
is acceptable in the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
The point is the competition
makes no sense
and harms the harmony of Shaanxi merchants
So what do you want?
I suppose there is no winner in
cut-throat price war
I suggest cooperation
How?
We make a new offer
You mean we quit?
You quit or we do
I want both of us
profit from the final offer
That is an idea
But
You Wu Family will quit
We will not
Bro Yuesheng is insisting on your offer?
Yes
Bro Yuesheng
Even if we quit
Your offer leads to deficits
The Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family can afford it
So does the Shen Family
Moreover, this is for the country
Deficit is acceptable
Bro Yuesheng proved your patriotism
I admire it
But business is business
Patriotism means high quality and proper price
Alright, my nephew
You've made it pretty clear
I'll consider it
That's it
Show our guest to the door
Uncle, bro Yuesheng, goodbye
Yuesheng, show the guest out
Yes
Please
Young Master, you eat too little
Enough. I don't want it
That is too little
Would you like some dough soup?
I want nothing
Feed her
Hungry?
Tianshi, Tianyu
Search everywhere
Did anyone go out?
No, Young Master
Lock the gate right now
No one will get out
She must be somewhere in the house
You search the main court
You search the my brother's court
Get and bring her to me
Yes
Come on
This way
Bro Wu Pin, thank you for your visit
Good bye
Good bye
Please
It's you
Did you find her?
No, Young Master
The trees, bushes
Take me out, please
I'll get her, and slash her to death
Xingyi
What's the noise?
Brother, a maid is gone
Behave yourself
I'll get her and slash her to death
You
Let's go
Lift
Hold on
Stop there
What's up
Young Master Wu, I'll search your sedan
I didn't know the Shen Family has that rule
It's not Shen Family' rule
It just comes into my mind
What if I just refuse?
You'll not be allowed to leave
Xingyi
That's rude
You owe Bro Wu Pin an apology
Brother
Say sorry
Sorry
Bro Wu Pin
My junior brother is just too young
I'm sorry for that. Please
If that would please Junior Young Master
he may search my sedan
That's kidding
Please
Am I allowed to leave?
Please
Good bye
Look, the poles are twisting
She must be in it
I saw it
Why didn't you let me?
Wu Pin is a fifth-rank Assistant Magistrate
as high as the Magistrate
How dare you search him?
An Assistant Magistrate can kidnap my maid?
It's a heavy offense to offend a government official
What are you arguing for?
Dad
Nothing happened
Yuesheng, come with me
Wait me in your room
Tianshi, Tianyu
Follow me
Yes
You keep searching
Yuesheng
Why did you say that to Wu Pin
What do you want?
Dad, I have my thought
Your offer
will cause over 1,000 taels of deficit
Even 5,000, it's worthy
Thank you so much
Why were you in the Shen Family?
A long story
I have to go
Please stop the sedan
and let me go
I don't think it's a good idea
Why
He sticks to me
Get off now
and you'll be caught
And I
will be accused of kidnapping a maid
What shall I do?
Go with me to the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
Alright
Thank you
Dad
You've told me
The Wu Family has
backing in the Imperial Court
and the Eastern Courtyard monopolizes military supplies
Yes
But I heard Hu Xueyan's case
would bring big trouble to the Eastern Courtyard
They'd be embroiled in the case
You mean this is our chance
I heard the Ministry of Revenue added a new order
So, I want the bid
Even fail, we lose nothing
But if we win the order
at the cost of deficit
we break up the monopoly
of the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family on military supply
and we beat down their fame
of the top merchant of Jingyang
If so
It is worthwhile
More than that, dad
If we complete the order
We'll advertise it is profitable
Because the officials who
back the Wu Family will hear it
They will doubt the offers and profits
reported by the Eastern Courtyard
We cast a bone between them
Yuesheng, that's psychological war
The East Wing
has but the support from behind
If we break down the backing
we will overtake them in no time
Open the door, Young Master is back
Young Master, what shall we do?
You two stay here
We watch the Eastern Courtyard
what if she run from the West
Will a maid be able to run through the house?
She might run from the central
Could the Wu Family' Central gate be opened so casually?
Shut up
Watch it
Just watch
Stop
Let down the sedan
Is this your house?
Is this the Eastern Courtyard?
You have a huge house
Ah
Did you find your brother?
Don't mention it
Did your mom get better?
And your little brother?
Forget about that.
Why were you in Shen Family?
I was sold
Well, what are you going to do?
I'm going to
I'm going to find my family
Anutie Zhang
Young Master
Go for it
Young Master
This is…
A brother
How could a girl be a brother?
A friend
A friend?
Whatever. Auntie Zhang
she will stay for a couple of days
Make sure she is well entertained
Alright
You may stay
for a couple of days
and leave till it is safe
Thanks, Young Master Wu
Come with me
Shen Yuesheng refused?
But Shen Sihai was interested
He said he would consider it
Shen Yuesheng
is either a blockhead
or smarter than his dad
You should be alert to him
Yes
Dad, one more thing
Go ahead
Junior Young Master is back
Someone go to change the shift
Yes, Young Master
Brother
I told you to wait in your room
Where were you?
You have caused enough troubles
and went to the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
If you let me search Wu Pin's sedan
I would not have to
If you searched his sedan
We were at war with the Eastern Courtyard
Be it a war
We are not afraid of them
Just for a maid?
That maid
She is different
What's the difference?
You make troubles all the day
either for women or for a maid
Could you do something of a man?
Are you suggesting
I make bigger troubles
Shut it
Withdraw your men, now
That maid is gone
Just let her be gone
Be assured
There is a price for this
Be a man
You
That maid belongs to the Shen Family
Her fate is on their hands
You cut in it
That's meddlesome
A maid of nobody would cause war
against the Shen Family
How unwise
Dad
You are right
I did something improper
But it seemed I had no choice
Where is she now?
Auntie Zhang put her in the guest room
Dad
You can't sent her back to the Shen Family
I have been in Jingyang Town for years
I rule the place
Shen Sihai dares not to reject
if I want the maid from him
The point is I can't condescend
and he can't afford the disgrace
This is a dead end
Or
Put it aside
and solve it till a proper time
The Shen Family gave an order?
Yes, very low price
They are determined to get it
We made a trap for Wu Weiwen
He jumps in
He asks for it
Please
Please
Boss Shen
Long Sheng He is a new comer
unfamiliar with local market
We appreciate it if Boss Shen gives suggestions
Boss Du overpraised me
The Shen Family does petty businesses to feed ourselves
We look forward to your favor
Boss Shen made modest remarks
In the town of Jingyang
The only one to rival the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
is Boss Shen
The Shen Family makes tiny profits
We are not on a par with the Eastern Courtyard
But I heard
You are fighting for a military supply order
Boss Du knows the time of day
To be honest
I work for the second son of the Prince
an authoritative figure in the Ministry of Revenue
We miss nothing from the Ministry
Royal business
My respect
You flattered me
We work for the Young Prince
Boss Du, may I ask
We and the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
Who could win the bid?
Young Master
If I were you
I would quit
Why is that?
It comes in vain
You are implying
it's already decided?
