Hour of the Rabbit at main quarter . A new day has arrived.

The snow hasn't melted Please put on more clothe to keep warm.

I told you to go get some charcoal. Another meal and we're out.

If the Young Madam wakes up...

What's wrong? Who bullied you?

The kitchen didn't give me the charcoals and kicked me out.

Did you tell them this was our allotment?

I did, but Miss Gan and them just told me to get lost.

I'm going to see them.

Go back. It's cold out here.

Don't throw me out. It's supposed to be ours to receive.

Who let you in? Get out now.

It's such a fine day. Why are you creating a scene here?

- Don't push me. - What are you doing?

Greetings to Miss Zhou. What brings you here personally?

Hurry and leave so you don't irate Miss Zhou.

You are afraid now. You weren't afraid when you embezzled the provisions.

When you embezzled the charcoals, I didn't see you being afraid.

The rule is 8 pounds of charcoal per day, but now we only get 4 pounds every three to five days.

Since Sister Zhou is helping Madam Lin to manage house now, let Sister Zhou be the judge of this then.

How dare you!

Madam Wei is pregnant now.

You thieves! You even dare to embezzle her items. When did we do this?

They received a lot for the past few days.

The kitchen staff who did the dispensing is young and dared not say anything.

She let them take it away.

The accounts in the kitchen didn't tally yesterday. We personally make up for it.

Thinking that Miss Xiaodie will not admit to this account, we started deducting every day from her allotment.

Miss Xiaodie, please take pity on us.

They only had a few months' worth to start out with.

Now the one managing the issuing can't patch up anymore.

Nonsense.

Since you said there is an account, take it out and show us if we stamped our fingerprints for the receipt.

Miss Xiaodie, do you need to be so angry?

If you had usually taken more, just take less for today.

Once the account tallies, we will distribute your allotment as per normal.

Fine. Sister Zhou can't manage this too.

I'll just have to go to Big Madam and have her see to the fairness.

We'll see just how many pounds of charcoal my lady should get.

Today is the engagement ceremony.

Big Madam is up to her head with things to do and we don't have time for your brashness.

A grievance is something you can bang the drum outside the officials' door to air.

Even if I get flogged by Big Madam today and dragged out, I must petition my lady's grievance!

You are not allowed to go. Come back here.

- What are you doing? - You are not allowed to go. Move aside.

What are you doing? Trying to kill me so that I won't succeed?

Even if I'm not successful today, I will still report tomorrow.

It's only just a few charcoals. Do you need to do this?

- Miss Gan. - I'm here.

Since Miss Xiaodie wants charcoal, just go under the stove and get her some.

Yes. I will go and fetch her lots from the stove.

So today's banquet isn't delayed.

Why do you bother?

Miss Xiaodie, stop being angry.

There are 20 to 30 catties here. Is this enough?

Whatever belongs to me, I will take them all.

Whatever doesn't, I won't take a single cent.

That courtyard. Because they're expecting a baby, they're so arrogant like this.

They will suffer in the future.

If they try to disturb Big Madam.

Stop the marriage. I don't want the betrothal gifts.

That House of Yuan plays this trick, come now?

Why bother with the betrothal boat coming ashore? He should

just turn the boat around to tell his father at home.

The daughter of our Sheng house doesn't care about their Ducal manor!

This is such a great match.

What nonsense are you spouting?

Nonsense?

If the one getting engaged today wasn't my Hua'er, if it's Molan who's getting this neglect, you guess if that Madam Lin, your beloved Lin Qinshuang would spout nonsense or not?

We're having a discussion about Hua'er marriage here so why did you bring her?

You don't dote on Hua'er.

This is the marriage you fetched for her?

It was agreed that the duke and the duchess would come propose the marriage here in Yangzhou.

Now they only send their eldest, Yuan Wenchun to dismiss us.

You sold it to me, making it sound as good as a flower.

Saying there's great chaos over appointment of royal heir in the capital these days so it's best not to mix with those involved.

Saying the loyal ducal House of Yuan once experienced neglect.

So their offsprings are more sensible and diligent than others.

That you saw the boy Yuan Wenshao personally and how mature and cordial and majestic he is.

Yes, that House of Yuan is so majestic indeed!

Let me tell you. Hua'er is my first born daughter. No one is allowed to mistreat her.

daughter. No one is allowed to mistreat her.

Stop pinning on me!

Wife.

When you say this to me, I feel very hurt.

How could I not dote on Hua'er?

Back when I was transferred to Lingzhou, that bitter cold place.

The entire household in and out were all managed by you alone.

Hua'er was born at that time.

Since she was little, she grew up in more hardship than others.

But despite that, she's the most sensible and obedient of all the kids.

The one that courts most love from others.

I selected the loyal ducal House of Yuan.

It's because I saw clearly Yuan Wenshao is a good kid.

I just want Hua'er to marry a good responsible man.

Husband and wife getting along, as harmonious as music.

Then bear children in the future and she will live a life of smoothness. Right?

Let me pin it for my wife.

Don't I also know that the Yuan's unfulfilled their agreement?

But the boat with the gifts have already arrived at the pier.

The betrothal gifts are already here.

The betrothal gifts have been unloaded?

Who says he can unload? I told Brother Bai to welcome the boat.

If I don't tell him to unload, he won't unload.

I think there's already a huge crowd by the dock.

The entire officialdom of Yangzhou are all in your courtyard.

To tell House of Yuan to leave now?

If the Yuan's bully my Hua'er . . .

No matter how bad the Yuan's are, they are protected under the ducal title.

Even if things don't go as smooth in the future, they at least have the ducal title to lean back on.

If that boy Yuan Wenshao turns out to be a success?

There will be a luxurious life waiting for Hua'er in the future.

I don't care whether there will be wealth and nobility or not.

If he bullies my Hua'er, I will fight him with my life.

Not only you, I will be the first to look for his family too.

What are you waiting for standing there? Drape it on the madam.

Hurry up.

I'm going out to take a look.

Go to the pier and tell Brother Bai that he can unload the betrothal gifts of the Yuan family now.

Yes.

Wait.

I haven't finished talking yet.

Tell the Yuan's this.

To be extra vigilant when they're announcing.

Yes.

Why this huge smoke when the charcoal isn't even wet?

It's charcoal from the stove.

They dare to deceive me! The stove charcoal makes so much smoke, so how can it be used for room warming?

I'll go back to them now to get gray charcoal.

Xiaodie, don't go.

If the weather's cold, just wear more clothes.

If not, seal the windows tighter.

My Lady, we can't have not even one crock of charcoal in the room.

To add further, this should be your allotment in the first place.

What do you mean by that?

If they give you, it's your allotment.

If they don't give you, it's not your allotment.

Don't mention this again in the future.

With the charcoal left, boil more hot water.

We'll fill up the foot warmers at night.

Put one in your bed too.

I'm not cold.

Just that Xiaotao and 6th Miss is still young so they'll be cold.

Come with me for a while.

Xiaodie.

You can't. This is your dowry.

The rest are all pawned off and this is the only one left.

But look at how cold the children are now.

This isn't the time to mind if it's a dowry or not. Pawn it for me.

You can't! You can't pawn it. It's Granny's bracelet.

We don't have any charcoals, right. Just tell Father.

He will scold the kitchen and have them issue our allotment.

If you don't want it sold, tomorrow, go serve by Old Lady.

No, Mother. I won't leave you.

If I leave, who will take care of you.

I'm already an adult. I don't need you to take care of me.

This is your father giving you all extra care.

If you can win Old Lady's favor and you get to be raised by her, I hear they only use silver charcoal there and it's so warm in the room.

I'm not afraid of cold. I'm hot.

If you don't want to listen to me, Then I don't allow you to mention about charcoal again and give the bracelet to Xiaodie.

Give it to her.

Sister Xiaodie.

What's wrong?

That's my mother's only dowry left.

I don't want to sell it too But if we don't sell it, where would we get charcoal for her?

I don't want any charcoal. That's the only one left.

How about, we take the stove charcoal we have to sell it, and switch it for some gray charcoal?

Even if it's only one pound. It can still last us a bit.

Young lady, you are smart.

Let's do this then.

Minglan, hurry back to get dressed.

The boat with the betrothal gifts for First Missus will be here soon.

Ducal Zhongqin of East Capital, House of Yuan, presents a request of marriage.

Ducal Zhongqin of East Capital, House of Yuan, presents a request of marriage.

With a pair of live wild geese from beyond the Great Wall as main gift and countless secondary gifts.

With aspiration that their second son Yuan Wenshao of legitimate wife, will be permitted to honorably wed the cherished daughter of Sheng House. We await your approval.

Permitted.

Permitted.

Permitted.

Congratulations to Yuan House. Felicities of eternal years.

The second son of legitimate wife, Yuan Wenshao.

Aspires to marry the eldest daughter of the main wife, Sheng Hualan.

The proposed house has given their permission. Approved.

Yuan Wenchun and wife, on behalf of our elders, present our gratitude for approval with honor to you.

Two points!

Congratulations. Not bad, your daughter married into a good family.

Magistrate, you're marrying your daughter so well!

Zhongqin Ducal House is such a prestigious house.

This dish.

Long time no see.

Come come.

It's true.

All you ladies.

We are not hosting well enough.

- Everyone, enjoy. - You're so cordial.

- Come, sit. - Alright.

Your temperament is most amiable.

And you're tough and considerate too.

I don't have to worry But your dowry now.

It's better to have more.

Big Madam, twenty years ago, I am your sister's relative, the next door neighbor on Shigu Lane back then. Do you remember me?

Come, let me give you a toast.

Come.

Big Madam, big trouble.

Third Brother is playing pot arrows with the guests and he's about to lose all the betrothal gifts.

That little bastard.

We're in trouble, Big Sister. Third Brother is gambling with your engagement gift of geese and he's about to lose.

How could this happen?

I don't know what to do.

Grandmother, what do we do now?

How many arrows did Changfeng make?

Once.

But we can't just say to halt when others are winning in succession.

Why not?

He agreed to play arrow toss and he quits while he loses?

After that, our family's prestige is all lost.

What should we do about this?

I will listen to your arrangement.

Today, you are still the eldest daughter of this family.

Tomorrow you will be the second madam of Yuan House.

You don't know how often you will meet these incidents in the future.

You won't be able to listen to me again.

Starting this moment, you make the decision.

I...

I decide on it?

At this rate, you'll only have two arrows left.

Great!

Good. He must shoot it in.

Go see.

Where's the magistrate?

We've searched around and didn't see His Lordship.

Though it's a child's play, that goose is still a betrothal your Yuan family just brought over.

If the child looses it, it's not just our Sheng family that is humiliated.

Your Yuan family won't be so honored either.

It is indeed humiliating.

You should hurry and get it under control.

What?

You brought the boy.

Shouldn't you be the one to go forward to stop it?

That Young Master Ye is a famous character in East Capital.

He saw that Yangzhou's arrow in the kettle game is different from East Capital.

So he was enticed to play. Now, I can't dissuade him.

Great.

He must be at that whore of a madam Lin Qinshuang's courtyard.

That's not so sure though. Today we have a large stage.

His Lordship must be attending to the guests.

But the betrothal goose is about to be lost and he's still not here.

He must be in that ecstasy cave.

Faster.

Higher.

I told Brother not to go and shoot because he'll lose for sure.

But he insisted on humiliating himself.

Mother. I don't want to go to the banquet.

It's too embarrassing.

Alright.

Don't go then.

Why are you crying?

Yunzai, accompany the miss to go and play at the garden.

Go now.

Let's go, Missus.

That loser of a child.

Look.

We are the host and he's a guest so it's not convenient.

He's someone you brought after all.

Let's have you go and whatever you say, it's more convenient.

But, Uncle, you should know.

Though the betrothal geese were hunted by my brother, they are already in the Sheng House and displayed at Sheng's.

Then it's your goose.

I'm an outsider. I think it's best if you yourself . . .

First Young Master. Now, your family gifted the geese to us.

Now comes the man you brought to win it away?

You are trying to humiliate us Sheng's on purpose here?

Oh, I have no such intention at all.

But talking about this, that's all due to Changfeng wanting to bring attention to himself.

If the Yuan family were to get involved, it's not right at all.

Since that's the case, I'm the one who's disturbed you here.

You are startling me with those words of yours.

Startled my ass!

He got drunk and can't contain himself and got himself used as a bridge by others.

Big Madam is here.

Big . . .

Have I failed in my attentiveness that I've offended you?

May your anger dissipate.

Why are you pretending?

Your son is losing my Hualanr's betrothal goose, but how nice for you.

You sit here to arrange flowers and admire the tea.

Keeping the manor's lord at your keep.

Go call His Lordship out.

Yes.

Big Madam. Changfeng actually committed such a deed?

But the matter of betrothal goose.

Aren't they all under your care?

So to say, this was my fault?

No no.

Changfeng, Big Madam, please help them all stop.

My Feng can't do it.

Please have them stop. Please, Big Madam.

If we can't preserve that betrothal goose today, I will skin him.

His Lordship isn't here.

He really isn't.

Your Ladyship.

His Lordship went to the front yard.

- Let's go. - Big Madam.

I beg you. Save Feng.

Big Madam. Big Madam.

Go tell Feng.

Hurry and acknowledge his fault to his dad and say it's all his fault being young and reckless and be harsh on himself.

I understand.

Dongrong who's by Master Hong's side are acquainted with us.

Go and find out from him first.

The kid committed wrong and as his mother, I shouldn't really shield him.

I think the best is a harsh flogging.

Get his skin open and flesh exposed so that Big Madam has her anger vented.

Yes, Small Madam.

I think, as long as Father and Mother are on the same side, losing the betrothal goose is not such a trouble.

The prestige that's present at the banquet is all just vain anyway.

Sheng House may have lost the betrothal gift but Yuan House instigated someone to gamble away the gift and that's embarrassing.

We both lose our prestige and that's not such a big deal then.

However, if the master and the mistress of the house start to argue in front of the guests, that'd make us the laughing stock of Yangzhou city.

The little bastard you raised.

The miss said, as long as Master and Mistress are of same heart, losing it is nothing big.

Look.

Look at your daughter. She's obliging us in all matters.

But you owe her like this.

I'm Hua'er father.

We can't get to a clear.

Where's Changbai? Where's Changbai?

Second Young Master is looking at the border map in the study.

- Tell him to come now. - What's the use of calling him?

- He only knows how to study. - Lower your voice.

Great.

What are you doing?

I will go shoot it for him.

Be patient.

Wait for Changbai to come first. You throw ten times and may not even get one in.

You think this isn't humiliating enough as is?

Count the scores.

Second Master Bai, 17 points. Third Master Sheng, 11 points. Two arrows are left.

Great.

He hit the mark. Great.

Here I wondered why no one as at the banquet.

I see everyone was hiding here watching the arrow to kettle game.

How is it, Feng'er?

Throw it in the kettle? Just don't be nervous.

Look clearly.

If you dare to lose, I will beat you to death.

I...I...

So how? Do you admit that you have lost?

Alright, everyone. Let's not watching the child play. Go.

Yes, let's do something that counts.

Playing the arrow to kettle is nothing that matters.

Let's go back and drink.

Why are you leaving?

It hit the mark.

Sixth Miss threw it.

Did you throw this?

Little girl, do you really want to compete with me?

Even if I beat a little doll like you, that's a cheap win.

Forget it. Consider it as a brief amusement. Take it that I lost.

It's either a win or a loss.

By your Yangzhou's rules, Third Sheng Master lost to me by a lot earlier.

- Do you concede? - Yes.

Fine, you have ambition. I will compete with you.

Can this kid do it?

Ming'er can throw arrow?

Dongrong, can we talk in private?

You hit it in the ear, and that's 4 points.

Ming'er, when did you learn to toss arrows so well?

It's a draw now.

Second Master, you're about to lose to this little miss now.

You're going to shoot into both ears?

Both ears marked. 6 points.

6 points.

Both ears and it's 6 points.

She definitely wouldn't be able to catch up.

Can you do it? You got a way?

She definitely won't be able to catch up.

Ming'er, forget it. Don't play anymore.

Stop throwing. Okay?

Okay, everyone. Let's go back and drink.

It's okay to lose.

Yes, let's go. She definitely won't be able to catch up.

Congratulations Great.

The pole. 10 points.

The pole. 10 points!

We won! We won!

That's 10 points?

The northern wind is blowing.

Everyone, go into the house now.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Quick, over there.

My dear nephew. What a timely wind.

That's right.

You are the head who delivered the betrothal gifts. Everyone is waiting to drink with you.

gifts. Everyone is waiting to drink with you.

This is for you.

Is this yours?

I have never seen this drawing. Let me take a look.

You're so skilled. You need me to lend you?

Young Official, don't be mad.

I will treat you to a meal tomorrow.

You are a guest from a distant place. Our family did our best to take care of you.

But you mess up our banquet.

You even have the audacity to borrow this drawing.

There are hundreds of bird drawings everywhere out there. Whatever bird you want.

Leave now. I'm not seeing you off.

I don't want some great goose. It was Big Yuan Young Master that old me to toss the arrows.

I didn't think it would disturb your family's engagement banquet like this. I'm quite sorry.

That must be the map of Yanyun's 16 provinces.

What business is that of yours?

How could it be none of my business?

If we don't snatch back the 16 provinces of Yanyun, our dynasty will face a future of disasters.

So are you planning to snatch it from me by force?

If everyone in East Capital is like you, Provoking cats and teasing dogs. All horsing around all day.

Snatching back the 16 provinces of Yanyun is a fool's dream.

Today's incident of arrow toss for the goose is indeed my fault.

I am wiling to swear I will never engage in gambling of arrow toss again.

I don't trust you even if you swear.

I swear in the name of my deceased mother that I will never engage in gambling of arrow toss again.

That's too big of a swear there. You needn't do that.

My nickname is Zhonghuai.

Zecheng.

I always tell you to behave with prudence. Don't try to stand out.

I didn't.

So the kettle toss today wasn't?

But if I don't go up, Sister's betrothal goose would be gone.

Your Eldest Sister is not like you.

Your Fourth Sister is not like you too. Did you know that?

Your eldest sister has a maiden home that's powerful.

She's got prestige.

Small Madam Lin is most favored, so she's got dignity.

They are from the Master's family.

It's different for me.

I was sold here because my family member was ill, in exchange for medicine money.

You always teach me one must have sense and gratitude above all else.

When it just became cold, Eldest Sister gifted you a cloak.

Don't tell me you want to watch her lose her betrothal gifts?

Eldest Sister dotes on you and you dotes on her too. Naturally, this is good But some pain, for her, it's just skin-surface pain.

But on you, it's blood and bone-piercing pain.

You bastard. Bastard. Bastard.

Mother, stop beating me.

I know that I'm wrong.

What are you doing? Why did you bring Ru'er here?

Father, my eldest sister is still crying in her room.

You've lost our face miles out our door.

I'm here to ask Third Brother. What grudge does he has with her?

He's just a lame kid who can't be successful.

Great Little Sister, help me put some good words to Big Sister.

My brother was momentarily clueless. He was drunk.

We really owe her.

Who wants to help you to speak up for him?

Momentarily clueless?

I think there's no one lucid in the house anymore.

The concubines in the others houses raise their kids with the main wife. What about you?

Master and Mistress are kind to me.

That this servant has been allowed to raise Mo'er and Feng'er by her side.

I am always thinking of Master and Mistress's mercy.

I only loathe that I can't repay you.

Repay?: This is how you repay me?

A great happy banquet and he just has to lose my Hua'er's betrothal goose to the Yuan house.

It's all Feng'er's fault.

Pity he's young and can't measure things well.

He was forced drunk by those around him and lost poise.

All drunk and committed this wrong.

Big Madam is always so kind and merciful and dignified.

Who doesn't know that?

I don't dare to beg for your forgiveness.

I only beg . . .

I only beg . . .

You put on that pretend pitiful look.

So if I issue anything, it seems like I'm the one in the wrong.

I did not nurture the kids well enough.

I will not say a second word, if you wish to beat or whip.

Alright then.

Tell me then? What's the punishment?

Beating.

Twenty floggings.

Twenty?

If not, make it thirty then.

No more though, Big Madam, or he will be a cripple.

Fine, make it thirty then.

Small Madam. My brother only knows to read books.

And he's just recovered from his recent illness.

He will die from thirty beatings.

Shut up.

Only thirty floggings and that's due to Big Madam's kind mercy.

My son committed such a shaming matter to the family and I don't dare to be reckless with it.

May Your Lordship's close attendant Dongrong carry out the punishment.

To display fairness.

I failed to be strict in teaching my son.

I owe to Big Sister and I owe to Big Madam even more so.

Master, please have him beat harshly.

What do you think?

Beat.

Beat.

Let's go, Third Brother.

You count it by heart.

You must remember this whole life why you're being beaten.

That one's always tricky.

I didn't find half a wrong with her.

She was so docile this time.

To let her precious son getting beaten.

I was going to use this chance to get back the house key and tablet.

But I found no loophole to mention it either.

I don't get it too.

I fear she saw that Master was so angry, So she elected to beat her son to let the master not angry again.

Didn't you see it?? These beatings,

that allowed the master to calm down and start to be fond of her again.
