Hangzhou wang ye (The Lord Of Hangzhou) (1998)

Look, it's a nice place
What if we move here?
If we really move the Palace here...
I wonder if Royal Father will scold us?
I don't care if he scolds us or not
Most important is I can fight
You're a girl, can't you be a fair lady?
You have nothing in mind but fighting!
I've learnt martial art for years
so I want someone to fight with me
No one dare to fight with me in the Capital
A stupid king!
Bullshit!
Martial art is an exercise, not for fighting
But I really want to meet some robbers...
Now that our bodyguards are back in town...
I can show them my ability if there're robbers
Better still if they're masked and
with good kung-fu skills
Boatman, wait!
Wait...
Boatman, can you row the boat back here?
Sister, they don't look like robbers,
shall we let them get aboard?
No!
I've paid for the boat
You go away!
I beg you, Miss
Yes, please
Beg me?
You jump over then
Okay, we'll jump!
You robbers!
She said you're robber Miss, we're not robbers!
Master, here
Please don't be misunderstood Shut up!
Miss, please listen to me
Sister, stop at once
Miss, sorry, excuse us
You hear? They apologised already
Is it apology?
What is your name?
I am Chin Chiang, from the Capital
Excuse my asking, where are you rushing?
I'm Mi-chi, I live in Hangzhou
I have urgent matters at home, so I need a boat
Please excuse me
It's okay, it's good you live in Hangzhou
I'm going to Hangzhou as well
I don't know the place, could you be our guide?
Sure, of course
Wait finish my affairs,
I'll show you around town
Good,
come and have a cup of tea now
Good, thanks
You've got what you want now
Don't kill him!
Stop!
Stay put!
Don't move!
Miss, are you alright?
I'm fine, you're kung fu expert
You're flattering me, Miss
Now robbers have gone, who will play with me?
What do you want to play?
Fighting!
Miss... Who is that lady?
My sister, Piyue
What?
Your sister is barbarian,
you're not a good brother either, look!
Okay, I will teach you a lesson if you come again
Why must you get involved?
Miss, don't be too much!
I like that!
Teach her a lesson, plank her asses!
He bullies me!
You deserve this, I think you should be punished
You're unreasonable, apologise to Mi-chi now
I won't apologise!
You conspire with outsiders to bully your sister, what brother are you?
Brother Chin, thanks for giving us a lift
Come to play at my home when we arrive Hangzhou, okay?
You must come, it's a deal
Miss Piyue, goodbye
I must show you around town
when we arrive Hangzhou
It's a deal
Piyue, dare you play at his home?
Why not?
He will beat you
I wonder who will be suffering then
Brother, we must have those robbers...
No, if we alert officers here,
Royal Father will learn, and we can't play on
Right...I forget that Look...
Proprietor, we've tried our best
You're rubbish! You failed to do what I asked you to!
We didn't know Mi-chi and Mi-an interfered with
We could not fight...
with the 4 of them
I won't spare Mi-chi,
he spoilt my plot!
Mi-chi has been travelling for 3 years
He must have made progress in martial art
Proprietor, you must be careful
A man as simple-minded as he...
can't be up to anything at all
Mi-an, how's the funeral going?
Mister, don't worry
With Uncle Kang here, you needn't worry
He can handle even 3 funerals at the same time
Bullshit!
Master! Excuse me
Master! Uncle Kang!
It's bad...
Uncle Kang, what's on?
The dead jumped out from the coffin...
to order you about?
Why...you bullshit?
Master, you must control him
I'll slap myself!
Uncle Kang, what is it?
Master, many guys come for the funeral
No problem, the more the better
Old caretaker worked for us for ages, he had no sons or daughters
Those guys will surely cheer him
Old caretaker is dead, you still cheer everybody?
No...I mean...
it's good if the funeral gets grand
You mean you want to make the funeral hectic
I see...
Go ahead
Master, listen to me...
Now that old caretaker is dead...
you must take good care...
of your huge property
You must care about it...
Uncle Kang, let's talk about that later
Okay, yes...but first listen to me...
you have such huge property...
Uncle Kang, someone wants to see you outside...
Uncle Kang...
Someone wants Uncle Kang?
Yes, someone wants to see you, it's Sister Ho
Uncle Kang, someone wants you, it's true
Uncle Kang...
Go at once, it's true
Coming!
Master, you must remember my words...
Go at once...
You must remember...
It's troublesome
We can't play anymore
Master, you've played for a long time
You should start work now
I only like martial art,
I know nothing about business
How can you fight all the time?
This is not fighting, this is an exercise
Pretext!
Chen, Cheng, how are you?
Master Mi, we've been buddies
But you've been away for 3 years...
We rush here as people say you're back
We're buddies, stop the politeness
We come to see...
if there's anything we can help
Yes,
we have too many people but not enough money
Do you have any?
Don't bullshit, we Mi family has lot of money
Old caretaker was in good luck
He died on a very lucky lunar date
He was luckier than most people
Chen, you mentioned his death happily...
do you want your family to die too?
Don't be so rude!
Master Mi,
I was sad when I heard the news
Old caretaker looked after you so long
and was kind to us all
It is as if my family member had died
Pretend that you were his son and perform his funeral?
Right...you might perform his funeral
I...
I was only joking
Master Mi...
Stop kidding
No joke
Let's stop the talking,
and pay our lost respect to old caretaker
Sure... Come on
Let's go this way
Master, you mustn't run about outside all day
These are ledgers of Mi family
You must do them up well
Uncle Kang, how can I handle them?
You do them for me
Master, how can I do them for you?
I have to cook 3 meals,
clean up...
and to serve your guests
I still have to check the servants...
I...I don't know accounting at all
How can I manage them?
Uncle Kang, I haven't learnt accounting either
Master, you've been away for so long
How come you haven't learnt it?
Mi-an...
Look at yourself...
What have you done with Master these 3 years?
Uncle Kang, he's Master, I can't control him
You speak back?
Let's do while learning
No way...
Forget it...don't talk any more
You go and find me an accountant
It's a deal...
My Master...
We Mi family has such huge property...
how can we find just anyone to manage?
If so...
Master...
A Chin brother and sister looks for Master
Ask them in at once! Stay away from this...
Go and tell that guy...
Tell him Master has gone on a trip...
No...
Uncle Kang, he's my guest, he's my friend
Master, I know he's your friend...
So rude!
Run...we're going now
Just try it myself...
Hello, this way please...
Get refreshment now, go
Yes!
Brother Chin, where've you been these few days?
I don't know Hangzhou well,
I haven't been to anywhere special
Okay, let me show you around when I have time
That's perfect
Where are you staying now?
At an inn
How come?
Move and stay here
It's bad to bother you It's nothing serious...
Piyue
Do you like Hangzhou?
Yes, I do
But brother doesn't take me anywhere
West Lake and
Lufeng Pagoda, are tourist spots,
I can show you there
Perfect!
I can also take you...
to visit bazaar
Right, is there kung fu house in Hangzhou?
Sure, there are lots of them
I like martial art indeed,
I want to practise with you if you have time
You mean it? It's a deal!
From your performance on the boat that day,
you can learn martial art well
Can I?
I want to know what level have you learnt?
I'm not good at real fighting
Brother Mi, you must teach me if you have time
Fists ask for force
Force? How to practise?
You're a girl,
you can't practise fist styles from Northern China
Fanman, do you feel bored?
Of course, they keep chatting and chatting
Let me take you out for a walk
Sure Come on
You might practise Ahwei Sword, it's feminine
I have a friend who practises Ahwei Sword
Can you...take me to visit your friend?
Sure, maybe another day
I want to practise more
Why so eager?
I can beat you if I succeed
I won't take you there then
If you don't take me there, I'll beat you now
No way, you are not up to me
That boat is very nice
Right, if you like, I'll give it to you
Miss Chin, Master will give himself to you sooner or later
What do I need him for?
Tie him by bed as a toy
Shut up!
Shut up!
Look, you both talk alike
But you will soon quarrel
Why?
You must first quarrel then become husband and wife
You... You're looking for trouble?
Never mind him, let's go ahead
He's too much!
They both act alike as well
Here comes the fish!
Eat more
I don't want to eat
Why?
I never expected Hangzhou is such a nice place
It's good if we don't have to go home
I have an idea
What is it?
You might marry our Master
You go away! Go!
Go away... Don't...
Go away with your debts and misfortune!
Go away! Beat it!
Mistress, but I... Go away!
But I am so ill now
I never ask you to be ill
Take your illness away with you, go!
Even an injured dog should receive mercy
I am indeed a poor dog,
it is exactly as you
After eating the food I gave it...
it turned to me and bit me!
Mistress, I...
Mistress, I beg you...
If you touch me again,
I'll show you what a heroine is
You... Go away, at once!
This is too much!
You're not human being!
Master, she's starting a fight again
You stay out of this!
I must interfere with this!
Stop that!
Hey, Master Mi
Mistress, just take it easy
You beat him so hard
Are you alright?
You are too much
It's nothing much indeed
I just pushed lightly, and you acted the same...
It's good if my dead husband was so kind-hearted as you
Mistress, you pushed him lightly and he's bleeding already
So if you push him hard, he'll die instantly?
You mustn't say so!
Let me revenge for you!
Master Mi, look at this,
these scoundrels are like flies,
they paster in my inn and never leave,
they owe me rent and even borrow from me
How can I take up such tortures?
You mean it
Master,
don't be taken in by her lies
Mi-an!
Sir, I am a scholar too
Something occurred in my home so I was forced to stay here
I beg you to help me, please
Don't worry, Master will help you out
Hey man, you never pay for your room and food here,
you have very good excuses
Master Mi, just because of these scoundrels...
that I suffer much loss
I say you're the scoundrel!
It's hard for a woman to run an inn
When do you see the hardship she confronts?
Forget it!
Master Mi, you're most understanding
Mi-an,
go get 100 taels and give them to this Mistress
I'll pay for the 10 taels this master owes her
But remember,
you must help those poor scholars in future
Ever a hero will have a hard time one day
Master Mi, you're correct...
to invest your money with me
Mi-an, help this master home,
and find a doctor for him
Thanks, Master
Master, I hope when one day you're in bad luck...
someone will help you like this
Let's go
I'll take it... I can handle
If this tigress lives in the Capital...
I must send her to jail
I must lock her in jail for ages
Don't act rashly
If you reveal our identity, we must go home at once
You want to go, but I don't
I don't want to go home either
Okay, I'll be more careful in future
I say Brother Mi is very kind-hearted,
he's a real hero
Mi-chi is very good,
but he must know well the person he is helping
There should be a limit of generosity
Master Wu is much better now
Thanks for Master Mi and Miss for helping me
I am so grateful to you
It's a trivial...
We practice martial art, we must help those poor people
We should help you
Master Wu, since you're recovered,
you should pack things and leave
You keep occupying my room, so I have nowhere to sleep
Shut up!
Don't blame him, Master Wu, he's just like a kid
I won't
Master Mi, I admire you, you're a real kind person
That's why I say this treasure finds its owner
What is it?
During Han Dynasty, people fought hard for the world...
There were battles everywhere in all those years
And this jade witnessed all those historical events
People say this jade can cast evils away
It can also cure diseases and has de-toxic effect
But its owner must be...
a real righteous hero...
in order to make it efficacious
It sounds magic
Of course
It looks very valuable, right?
It is that piece of jade...
Han's Emperor Liu Pang gave to Hang Yu
Who is Liu Pang?
A fairy
Master Mi,
I paid 3000 taels for this piece of jade
Even His Majesty...
will want to possess this valuable jade
Master Chen,
I say you want to possess our Master
Master Mi, this jade...
...is my present to you
No...how can I accept such valuable thing?
It's my present to you
Master Mi, don't refuse
Master Chin, what do you think?
I'm ignorant,
I've never seen such precious thing
Then...I will take it
Mi-an, get 5000 tales for Master Chen
No, it's my present to you,
how can I take your money?
You must take it
Take it, you long for it already
Chen, take it
Okay, I'll take it
I still have a precious horse
Master Mi, come and take a look outside
Right... Come
It's this horse
This horse is very nice
Master Mi, this is a royal horse
It's hard to get it from Palace
Master Mi,
let me give this royal horse to you as present
No way...
How can I take this good horse from you?
Take it
What a good horse! Very pretty!
Master Mi, go take a ride
It can run very fast, and long distance too
Mi-an,
go get 5000 taels and send it to Sisa Chateau
Master Mi, you're too generous
You get lots of money again
Someone come! Take this royal horse to Master Mi's stable
Yes!
Do you know this royal horse?
How come I know a horse from Royal Palace?
As long as Master Mi knows it is enough
This Mi-chi is a naughty boy
He doesn't take us along when he goes for a ride
We'll leave if you don't like, okay?
No need
It's a good place here...
The food here is good as well
I don't want to leave here
You don't want to leave here or Mi-chi?
I can't help if you like that
Look
Mi's family collection is...
as good as in the Palace
Hey
Miss Piyue,
why aren't you riding with Master Mi?
Master Mi is a careless person
He doesn't know how to take care of others
He needs to be taken care of
Does he, brother?
I hear Master Chin is from the Capital
I wonder what you're doing?
I'm only doing small business in the Capital
I hear Master Wu is also from the Capital
I used to be accountant in Yungpao Shop
Others say Hangzhou is a good place,
so I come and take a look here
I never expected I'd run into poverty here
I say Master Chin you're a very special person
What special person?
Let me tell you frankly
I suffer loss in business and even run up with debts
I nearly got arrested
So I am on the flee to Hangzhou
You take it seriously? I was only joking with you
Master Wu
Master Mi
This...
Just then Uncle Kang was doing the ledgers
He felt faint so I sent him for a rest
And I'm helping him to close up the ledgers
I'll finish it soon
You can do accounting?
Yes, I used to be accountant in the Capital
Were you?
I'm not a competent accountant at all
Perfect,
I'm looking for an accountant right now
Help me,
I'll let you handle all my ledgers
Master, I fear I am not up to it
It's okay...you can do it well
Don't turn me down, I'll hand all the ledgers to you
I get headache whenever I see these ledgers
Master, I fear...
Don't panic...I'll let you handle all the ledgers in future
Help me check the entries
Okay, it's a deal, I'll leave now
Thank you
What good luck!
Mind your steps, Master
Congratulations on becoming caretaker, Master Wu
Thanks
I need help from you two in future
You're welcome
Proprietor, today's Treasure Meeting is a success
Right
We must be generous to Master Mi
Only Master Mi is generous,
while you two get the reward
What do you mean by this?
Treasures from you two really make me excited
Of course
Proprietor Cheng, you mustn't be too happy
Your so-called royal horse...
is not much better than a donkey
Why didn't you crack my plot just then?
Though I'm timid, I am an ambitious man
I see, you must have your plot by entering Mi's family?
I say you're biased against we two!
Of course not, though I am ambitious...
I dare not do wrong to you, Officer Chen
I dare not do wrong to you either, Proprietor of Sisa Chateau
I like obedient pets
Wu Yan, just keep on like this
I'll feed you up when I feed my horses
Cheng, don't speak that to me
I never fear a barking dog
On the contrary, I'll bite it before it bites me
How dare you talk to me like that?
Cheng...
There are only greedy people in this house
So don't pretend you're an honourable person
Master Wu, you count me in as well?
Of course
But the most greediest guy is me
I'm ungrateful, I'm sly
I never help others, I never harm the innocent
And the second...is you, Cheng
And you, you're wicked
You ask for nothing but money
Gook, straight to the point
Good...
Being a sly guy who speaks frankly...
is much better than...
being a righteous person
Proprietor, do you agree?
Wu Yan, I'm beginning to like you
We've been here for a long time
So we must go back to the Capital tomorrow
I...I don't want to go, it's boring at the Palace
It's different here, as Master Mi accompanies me
Don't you fear he beats you?
I like him as he dare beat me
Aren't you shy?
You always complain to Royal Father...
whenever I scold you...
This is so unfair
You're a Princess,
you must marry an Imperial Highness
I said I will never marry an Imperial Highness
Okay, you said so, you mustn't regret that
I will never regret that
I swear
We have to leave now
Do take care, Brother Chin
You must take care too
This fan is my beloved belonging, I give this to you
I've written some words on it
When you arrive at the Capital, you can find me by holding it
Hangzhou 12? What does that mean?
You will know when that moment comes, don't ever lose it
Sure
Put it away properly
Sure, thanks, Brother
Take care
Take care
Piyue
You must come
You must come in one year
I'll be waiting for you
Goodbye
Fanman, don't forget what you have said
You must show me around when I arrive the Capital
Sure, goodbye...
Master Mi...
I've been looking for you
Master Cheng, come...sit down
Get me some tea, and snacks too
Coming! Come on, please...
What do you want me for, Cheng?
Master Mi, I have a transaction,
which will bring me much profit
But all my money is invested on elsewhere
I hope you can help me out
We're buddies, I'll help you
How much do you need?
Only 300,000 taels?
I'll send it to Sisa Chateau tomorrow
Let me write you a promissory note
No...
No need, with our friendship
I must thank you then, Master Mi
Master Cheng, have some tea
Please
Shoot the arrows!
Yang, what's up recently?
In Suzhou
Master Chen, I've been looking for you
Master Mi, your shop has been robbed
Is there any news? Have the robbers been arrested?
Master Mi, we're buddies
I must help you this time
How is situation?
I've arrested some guys, I'm questioning them now
I'll inform you once there's news
It's too good, thank you
Pay your debts, or I'll report to the Officer!
I have to leave now
I can't look after you any more, take care yourself
Uncle Kang, don't you worry...
Mi-an, come here...
I'll hand Master to you
You must take good care of the Master
Remember this
I will remember, don't worry, Uncle Kang
Master, I got to go now
He's annoying
All aged men are like this
Master, let's pick Uncle Kang back...
once the incident is over
It's not that easy
You mean it
Look, nothing is left
Master Mi
How is it, Master Wu?
All the debts have been paid off
Great!
Do we have money to pay the debts?
I have sold the house
You have sold the house?
You sold the house? It's property of Mi's family!
Right, how can you sell property of my family?
Yes, I know, it's property of your family
But the debtors reported to Officer
I don't want to see you to be sent to jail
Okay...it had to be sold,
how much did you sell it for?
And after paying off the debts...
Only 20 taels left
Why didn't you discuss with us first?
Do we owe others so much? Let me check
Look, have we paid off all the debts?
Yes, it's all paid off
It's good to have paid off all debts
It's better to owe others money
Master, the new owner of the house will come soon
Go pack things now
I have bothered you for a long time
I have to leave now
Master Wu...
You're all alone, this 20 taels...
Master...
Please take it
I mustn't take it
Give it to me instead of him...
Shut up!
He's a stranger here, he's poor
Pick it up...
Keep it, for your life
Master, how...can I thank you?
I must leave now
Take care
We're running into difficulties,
and you still gave him the money?
Why don't you greet me, the King?
Your Majesty
What are you thinking about?
I am wondering about Brother Mi
You're biased!
You never miss me when I leave the Palace
You have so many wives and concubines, I needn't miss you
You never care about me
Master Cheng, you have sold the goods already?
Yes, I have
Okay,
we have money to buy back the house now
Master Cheng, please pay back...
What do you want me to pay back?
Master Cheng, you did borrow money from me, you forget?
Master Mi...
You mustn't joke with me
We Sisa Chateau is doing big business
We never borrowed...
any money from you!
He wants to deny
Be furious to him!
I borrowed your money? Is there a promissory note?
If you have, I'll pay you back double
I trust you so I didn't ask you for a note
Shit, even brothers must be clear in money affairs
Well, you and I are just ordinary friends
No one would trust you if you haven't got a promissory note
Cheng Fa, are you serious or are you kidding?
I never joke with a nuts
Cheng!
I know you deny the debts, let me teach you a lesson!
Shut up!
Who are you to speak here?
Let me do it!
Don't be lenient!
You always pride yourself on your martial art,
I must see it today
Why didn't you kill him?
The hair sticks on me
You're hungry after the fight, let's go eat something
You should settle up your rent today
Pay her the rent now
Mistress, where's the 100 taels we gave you?
That 100 taels, this...
It's settled up for the poor scholars, no more left
I'm so sorry
You have finished? I'll clean it now
You'd better go away
I'm sorry...
Sorry to bother you
Mi-an, let's go to Uncle and see if he can help
Uncle, our Old Master did help you before
Uncle, for the sake of Master... No...
You go away... Say no more!
Go elsewhere if you want to borrow money, go away...
Do you have any conscience?
I want to borrow from you but you treat me this way?
Remember how well my father treated you in those days?
I must buy all your shops in future
You...eat shit!
It's Mi's House
We haven't seen Wu for a long time,
so we want to see him
Wrong...
It's not Mi's House, it's Wu's House
Right...
It's hard to predict
I wonder who become rich tomorrow
Master Cheng, if you want to do the same tricks in Wu's House...
you can never achieve that
Though we're sly,
we're never as dirty as you, Master Wu
Master Cheng, you're flattering me, we're the same kind of people
Master Cheng, where's your pigtail? You cut it off?
Why, you want to be a monk?
Don't hurry, I have a present for you
You deserve making a fortune
If we co-operate,
Hangzhou will belong to us
Look, no one lays an eye on you anymore Forget it...
Even they have money, they never pay you back
Say no more
You used to be too generous...
Wu's House?
How come it is Wu's House?
Except for Mi's family, there's no other rich family in Hangzhou
Who's the Wu family that bought my house
Let's find some food
I really don't want to scold you...
Say no more
Clean the place all over
Wu Yan?
Go away if you don't want to work!
Wu Yan, so it's you who bought my house?
You...
Why? If turn away the money
I'll be punished by Heaven
You ungrateful, it's you who stirred up all trouble!
Master Mi, as you never stir up trouble, you become a poor guy now
Wu Yan, you are too much!
Our Master saved your life...
and gave you the 20 taels left after selling the house
And now you treat him this way?
If an honest guy must become poor...
while a wicked man becomes rich
I'd rather become a wicked man
I now understand
It's you who made me lose my properties
You sly!
You lousy servant
I'll beat you up if you speak on again!
I tell you,
I bought this house with real money
What can you do to me?
Report to Officer if you can
Mi-an...
Let's go!
Why did you stop me?
Why didn't you let me beat him?
Beat him?
How can we beat him with the way we are now?
We're only hungry, remember we have always fought with others
We can fight even when we are hungry
I fear you will be killed as you are hungry,
it's too bad then
What is it?
Buy some red potatoes
What is this?
Grilled red potatoes
How come I have never eaten this before?
Master, your leftover was even better than this,
how come you ate it?
How much is a catty?
Okay, I'll buy them all
Wait...
What is it? You have money?
No No?
You have money?
I don't have
You have a little I don't
You have a little
I really...have a little...
Let me handle
I now have 2 cents
He's Master Mi, you know him?
Let's buy one first
If it's delicious, we'll buy them all
Haven't Mi's family gone bankrupt?
What? Don't bullshit!
Don't bullshit!
Don't bullshit
We only sold the house and moved away
A bigger one, we want to try one first
Here 2 cents for you
Wait, put it down...
This one...is better
I paid you 2 cents already
Don't choose about Isn't this too small?
Okay...take this
Go...
Sweet and tasty red potatoes
Very sweet...
Red potatoes!
We can't really fight when we are hungry
We can't fight
I must kill you as you cut off my pigtail,
beat them
You alone?
Is there any problem? No problem
Go!
Master, get a pole as weapon!
Give me!
Chase them!
Master...
Master, I've bought red potatoes, eat it now
I have no appetite
What's on?
Nothing
You're ill?
Don't bother me, I won't eat!
Master, you'll have no strength if you don't eat
Come on, you eat the big one while I eat the small one
I won't eat, don't bother me
Master, don't be peevish
We mustn't spend our money so fast
We need it as expenses to go to the Capital
I won't eat Come on, eat it
I said won't eat, didn't you hear?
Why not eat it?
You still think
you can eat whatever you like now?
But you just scold at me!
Come on, eat it
Come on, it's getting cold now
Don't be peevish
You must be hungry
You're just like a spoilt kid, come on
Let's go to the Capital
Master, get up...
It's dawn
Master, you must be starving?
I have some food here
Eat it
I won't
Eat a bit, Master
Eat it then we'll set out for the Capital
Where did you get this? What is this?
How can I eat this stuff?
Look...what kind of house is this?
What house is this? It's a broken house!
You want me to sleep on hay; there're bugs biting me
It's cold and with no food!
You're useless!
You're rubbish, I was so good to you!
Why...are you losing temper to me?
Did I bring all this misfortune to you?
Why don't think for yourself?
Others brought you a horse and you paid them 5000 taels
They brought you a jade and you paid them another 5000 taels
Did I spend up all your money?
All those who cheated your money have left you
Now only me is by your side taking care of you
Why are you losing temper to me? Did I do anything wrong?
What did you say?
How dare you say that to me?
Who do you think you are?
You're only a servant!
You think you're a Master?
Go away!
I didn't ask you to accompany you,
you made that decision yourself
Go away, leave me if you want!
You keep losing temper to me, and now cast me away?
Who takes care of you if I go away?
Very hot...
Mi-an, red potatoes are cooked, very good
Mi-an, what's wrong with you?
You have a temperature?
Your hands are cold, what's on, Mi-an?
I've just...been bitten by a snake...
Bitten by a snake? Where?
On the leg
On the leg?
What shall we do?
What shall we do? Mi-an, what shall we do?
Open the door...
Help! Open the door! Doctor...
What is it?
Doctor, my friend is in danger,
come and help him
It's late He's over there, come on
Do you have money? Do you have?
I...I've no money... No money no way
Go away... Doctor...
You're inhuman!
You're a doctor,
if you don't heal patients, why do you become doctor?
Help...Help...
Mi-an...
How do you feel?
Master...
I am useless...I can't take care of you, Master
Master, you have never...
never treated me...like a servant
It's my happiest days in my life to be with you
You were born a good man
But you must be a clever good man in future
You mustn't let others cheat you anymore
Keep this red potato for yourself
I can't eat anything now...
Mi-an...
Mi-an!
You mustn't die...
Mi-an, I'm ignorant...
I'm too capricious, I've harmed you now...
I'm so sorry to you...
Master, I haven't died yet
You're still alive!
Get up...get up now!
You scared me to death...
It's good you haven't died...
You scared me to death...
Doctor...open the door...
Doctor...open the door, quick...
Open the door, doctor, open the door!
Why are you here again?
He's dying, doctor...
No money no talk
I beg you...doctor, I beg you...
I kneel and kowtow to you, doctor!
Help him, save him, doctor!
Okay, come in
Thanks...thanks for rescuing him!
Mi-an...Mi-an, quick...
You can survive now...
You needn't die now
Come on, I'll help you inside
Mi-an, drink the medicine
Thank you, Master
How is it now?
Why is it so hot?
Hot medicine forces the snake poison out
You force my urine out too
Good if it's out, the urine brings the poison out
Pretext!
Go make the soup now
Okay...I'll go...
You deserve this today
Quick!
Brother, there's no reason at all
A year has passed and Brother Mi hasn't come yet
He may be on a trip with his friends
No, Brother Mi won't eat words
Trust me, he must be having a good time now
I say he won't
Yes, we can
We can eat? Get me some!
Don't waste it
Master, is it cold?
Yes, a bit cold
It's...Uncle Kang!
Uncle Kang...
Uncle Kang!
Master!
Get up at once!
How come you're here?
Uncle Kang, how are you?
Master, why have you become like this?
We...
Do you live nearby?
I live not far from here, come to my place now
Is it delicious?
Yes, it is...
Master, don't eat so quickly
Eat it slowly
It is really delicious!
Uncle Kang, what...is this?
What is this? It's very tasty
Master, you really don't know?
I don't know
It's delicious, I don't know what this is
It's the food you left over
You're kidding, Uncle Kang
How come the leftover is so tasty?
Master, listen to me
In those days, whenever we ate dumpling...
you only ate the filling and not the pastry, right?
You still remember?
I dried the pastry and took them home
What you're eating is the pastry you left over
When Old master was alive...
our family was so big and influential
Now you've lost all the properties within just a few years
Mi-an, you're to be blamed for that too
None of my business, Uncle Kang
Master only ate the filling and not the pastry...
was indeed your idea, you think I didn't know?
Eat it...
There're lots of, eat it slowly
Mi-an, take this money
Uncle Kang, no,
Master will scold me if he learns this
Speak softly... don't let Master hear this
Mi-an, it's a long way to the Capital
You need money for expenses
But, Uncle Kang, this... Take it
Where are you going?
To the Capital
To the Capital? Sitting for exams or meeting Officers?
It's not easy to meet Officers
We're not meeting Officers
You're sitting for exams?
If you become Officers,
you must understand our difficulties
No...
What no?
You're irresponsible this way
Whether you're Officer or not,
you must take up responsibility...
...to yourself and others
Do you agree with me?
Let's talk about this after we become Officers
Hey, anybody home?
Nobody here, Master
Let's take a look in front
Is there anyone in?
The door is not locked, is there anybody
How is it? Master, no one is here
Master, this place is not bad
Not bad, really not bad
Master, come...sit down
I'll see if there's any food
Find some food, I'm starving
Who is it? Come out!
No...
No, I have a baby
It's a girl
Sorry Don't be afraid
Don't panic, we're not thieves
Because it is cold outside...
Yes, because it's so cold outside...
We come in to take shelter
We...take shelter, don't be afraid...
Is this your house? You live here?
No
I'm also taking shelter here even it's not my place
We've only just arrived
We're looking for food
We're very hungry indeed
I have some congee,
take and eat it
How can we eat it? We mustn't eat it
Help yourselves
Thanks, let's help you
We'll help you clean the place
How come you're alone here?
Why?
A guy cheated me
My family cast me away because of this
You're poor
How come you're here?
I even took you as thieves
She said you're like a thief
We walked a long time outside...
Miss, how come there was no one in the street?
I used to live in this village
Not long ago robbers arrived here
They robbed us and killed many people
All villagers fled for life
They now live in a neighbouring village
I see
So she used to live here
Miss, what are you...going to do?
I want to...
give birth the baby, then go home
This is the only thing you can do
Yes, this is the only thing to do
If you need help, just call for us,
we can help you
Right, call for us
It's done, the congee is ready
Come...and get the congee
Very good
Eat it
Miss...
What's on? Miss, are you alright?
Nothing, I just feel unwell
You need help?
I can handle, eat the congee...
What's happening to her?
She seems to have belly-ache
She ate something wrong?
She hasn't eaten anything, no way
She has...belly-ache?
Is the baby coming out?
Miss, what's happening? Miss...
The baby is coming out She's giving birth!
Miss, you're delivering? What shall we do?
Master, what shall we do?
She's delivering! What shall we do now?
You want a mid-wife? Boil water...
Mid-wife? Where to find a mid-wife?
No villagers here, where to find a mid-wife?
Miss, tell us what to do,
what shall we do?
Go boil some water...
I'll ask Master to boil water
Go...boil some water...
Miss, what's next?
We've boiled water already
It hurts...
What shall we do? Bear it...
Come on...
It has come out!
Thank you. Masters
Miss, shall we give the baby a name?
Give her a name...
I have never received education
What if you give her a name?
We? Sure...
What name shall we give her?
What's her father's name?
Right, what's her father's name?
Her father dumps her...
It's better if she takes your name
Take our name? Good, terrific...
Our name is Mi
We were eating rice when she was born,
let's called her Mi-fan (Rice)
Mi-fan...
Bullshit!
Let me do it
You the same
What name shall we give her?
Be good... What name?
Piyue...
You only have Piyue in mind
Piyue means moon and goose
Let's called her Goose, okay?
Goose...Goose Mi...
Good name!
Is Goose a good name? Mi-fan is not bad either
It's done
Miss... Okay, let's call her Goose
Don't shout...
Miss, take a rest
Tomorrow morning we'll go to the neighbouring village...
to find something for the baby
Thanks
Be good, Goose Mi...
We're back
We're back, we've bought a lot of things
We've bought a lot of food...
Goose's mother
Let's sit down first
Where is she? Where?
Goose...
She's left alone here
Where is her mother?
She's crying, help her up
Take her legs up, be careful! Her head!
Turn around... Don't block my hands!
You're careless, what do you mean?
Goose, stop crying...why are you crying?
Look, there's a letter...
Stop crying, Goose, stop crying...
Mi-an, her mother has gone!
Gone?
It's bad this time
Why is she crying hard? Has she pissed?
See if she has pissed, look...
Stop crying, Goose...
No, it's dry
Is she hungry?
Right, she may be hungry,
we're hungry too
What shall we give her to eat?
What did you eat when you were a baby?
Milk of course, or else red potatoes
Let her bite your fingers for the moment
Fingers are dirty
Just let her bite anything, take off your clothes...
Are you mad? Let's go and find something for her
Okay
She never stops crying, what shall we do
How come I know?
Figure it out I have no idea
Let her suck the fingers
Don't, fingers are dirty
What shall we do?
I have an idea
Wait!
Wait...don't go...
What are you doing?
Don't be afraid
Has she had enough?
She has had enough Enough? Good...
Be careful
Mi-an, put this on...
Thanks No thanks
Thanks Be careful
You've had enough, not crying? Good girl...
Goose, sleep now
Moon shines on the ground
Are you thinking of homeland?
Thanks No thanks
Thanks very much Mind your steps
Sorry to bother you
She finished one so soon?
Look, she's smiling at me
Don't shout...
Where have you been?
Why did you dump Goose behind?
Where have you gone?
Say!
It's hard to say
I...I want to get Goose back
Do you know it's dangerous by doing this
Do you know it's dangerous by doing this
You're lucky with us here
You'll regret...
if anything happens to Goose
Listen to me
You're irresponsible by doing so!
One must be responsible...
not only to oneself, but to others too
It's wrong to be irresponsible like this
It's wrong to do this, you know?
When did you learn such things?
Just now
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Goose
Goose...
Mi-an, how much money do we have?
Just a little
Take it
No...
Goose needs it, even if you don't
Take it
Be careful, don't let Goose catch cold
Thanks
Right, it's late, go home
Thanks, Masters! Get up
Remember to take good care of Goose
I will
I'll pick up Goose when we finish our affairs
Go home now
Thanks!
Go now
We've arrived the Capital
Master, open the fan and see
Yes, open the fan and we might find Master Chin
Sir, excuse me... Lunatic!
Princess has arrived!
Who is it?
Master, she looks like Piyue
How come Piyue is Princess, nonsense!
Take a look, Master, it's really Piyue!
Lower your head or you'll be beheaded!
Excuse me, do you know...
Hangzhou 12
Excuse me, do you know it...
Excuse me,
do you know this Hangzhou 12?
Sir... I don't...
I don't
No one listens to us
Right
Master, it's getting dark
What shall we do now?
Let's get a place to sleep
It's cold, where shall we sleep?
Sir, do you know it?
No one knows the owner of this fan,
let's get a place to sleep now
You scared me to death!
Why still playing?
Master, look, it's horrible
Right, it's dark and dim here
Master, look, there're some statues
It's only a coffin, why shout?
Go and take a rest there
We can sleep a while
Who? Who is it?
Mi-an, don't panic, it's human
Why are you here? Say!
Don't be misunderstood
We happened to pass by
It's cold and we have no place to sleep
So we're taking shelter here
Sorry to disturb you Right...
Where are you from?
Hangzhou
Hangzhou?
Where is Hangzhou? I don't know
Boss, I know
It's behind our temple
They went there only last night
Hangzhou is in southern, far from here
Very far away?
I don't know
Let me explain
We come all the way...
to find someone
Find me? Who are you looking for?
Who are you looking for?
Master, show it to them
It's a long story, look at this
Zhouhang...20?
What does that mean? What is this?
Right?
I don't know either
I'm looking for the owner of this fan
Owner of this fan? You come to the right place
You know him?
I know the Capital best
I'll bring you there tomorrow, sleep now
Mi-an, you believe them?
We must believe them now
We already found him for a whole day
Let's see when morning comes
Hangzhou is a good place
Hold it... Be careful!
What's special with a cart?
Must I kill you horse?
I know Hangzhou very well
Didn't you say you never went to Hangzhou?
You blamed me
when you disturbed me sleeping last night
They don't look reliable
Master, it's better with their help than walking about ourselves
We don't know this place at all
Aren't you taking us to the owner of the fan?
He's in front...
In front?
Leave protection money
Leave protection money
What are you doing?
Give you a bowl, beggar
You should make your own living, we can't support your life
You think you're Imperial Highness?
Go get some money yourselves
Let them beg for money
I'll go!
I'll go too
You... Have mercy on me
You, have mercy on me, give me some food
Have mercy on me...
I say they're stupid
They get no food but a quilt
You told us last night
you know many people here,
that you can help us find the owner of the fan
We looked a whole day but to no avail
You know no one,
you only know lying!
We're not lying, aren't we looking for him?
But he has left home
You're unlucky, we're not cheating
Right, you're in bad luck
But you said you know him and would take us there
Now you fail and you said we're in a bad luck?
We really know him
You're in bad luck not to find him
Okay...say no more!
Do you know where we can find the Princess
Sure
Where?
You can see her every First and Fifteen of the month
Right, go and see her then
If you don't believe it, ask His Majesty
When His Majesty sees us,
he has to call us brothers
Otherwise, you can never find them
Chau Chau, Nau Nau
Yes, Your Highness
Say, is being Princess good?
You never need to worry life...
and can enjoy everything,
of course it's good
Then what's the weak point of being Princess?
Your temper is bad
Why is the temper bad?
As her lover has gone, so...
Nonsense!
I only worry about Brother Mi
It's a year...and he hasn't come yet
I hope he can come soon
Princess, look, it's snowing
Yes, it is
Master, don't think anymore
We will surely find Piyue
Go in and eat something
Have mercy on me...
Have mercy on me
Don't touch me or I'll beat you!
Old master, have mercy on me
Okay, take this
Thanks...
Mi-an...I've got it, look
You said the Princess will come, but she hasn't
Do you mean it today?
Don't cheat us again
Don't worry,
the Princess promises to come today
I am familiar with her
It's good if she will come
Right, don't hurry
His Majesty has arrived!
Kneel down...His Majesty has arrived, kneel, don't look...
Lower your head! You'll be punished!
Hey, don't look!
It's she, Piyue!
Protect Her Highness!
Mi-an, be careful!
Brother Mi?
Fanman!
Piyue
Fanman, you're really His Majesty?
Piyue
Brother Mi, you come finally!
You say?
Brother Chin Brother Mi
Master, he's really the King!
Greet you, Your Majesty
Stand up
How come you're like this?
It's hard to say
It's a long story,
Your Majesty, let's sit down
Let's go inside
Sure, come in first
Come on
Your Majesty, Hurrah... Long Live Your Majesty!
Send them in
Send Mi-chi, Mi-an in!
Greet you, Your Majesty!
Read the Imperial Edict
His Majesty has decided to...
assign Mi-chi to be Hangzhou Imperial Highness
and Mi-an to be Butler of His Highness Palace
You now know
what Hangzhou 12 means?
Move the strokes, it's Imperial Highness
Hangzhou Imperial Highness
Thanks, your Majesty
His Highness has arrived!
You deserve this today!
Cheng Fa, lift your head and see who I am
Cheng Fa, do you know you must die as you assassinate me?
No, I haven't assassinated Your Highness
He said he hasn't
Give him a chance then
Okay, you have a chance
If you defeat me, I'll spare you
I'm innocent...
You're so many, I can't defeat you
Give him some allowance then
Okay, you have some allowance
I'll tie my hands behind me
If you can defeat me, I'll spare you
Don't move
If I were you, I'd assassinate him
He'd tie both hands behind him?
I never lie, don't move
I haven't moved
Guards, give him a sword!
Take up the sword...
Chop him, kill him, assassinate him!
Come on!
Kneel down!
Didn't you say we'd have a duel and
spare me if I win?
Have I said so?
No
When did I say so?
You asked me to kill you
I asked you to kill me? You have a note for that?
He said so too
Are you mistaken?
You said that just now
You're wrong, I saw you assassinated His Highness
Do you know you must die as you assassinated His Highness?
I haven't...assassinated His Highness
You're wrong, I really saw you assassinate him
Listen, did you see him assassinate His Highness?
Yes!
Do you hear? Arrest him!
I'm innocent...
You Highness, I am innocent!
Master Mi, he assassinated His Highness,
I'm not involved
Your Highness, do you know him?
I don't know him
His Highness said he don't know you...
I know you'll become...
important person one day
What are you doing? Get down!
Catch him, lock him up, take him outside
I'm innocent...
I'll question you later
What have I commit?
First, you're take bribery, Second, you conspire in the assassin
Third, you cover the convicts
The rest of life in jail?
Right
What shall we do now, Your Highness?
This house is even prettier than before
Look: "Obtaining easily"
It suits the house
Break it!
No, don't...
You must think it over
What?
Breaking it means breaking your ancestors' property
I mean breaking that plate
Break this plate!
Bring Wu Yan in!
Your Highness
Wu Yan, it's said you became rich suddenly
Tell me what your secret is
Your Highness, I've always been keen and hardworking...
and this is my secret
You must have capital, where did you get it?
My friend gave the money to me
Your friend gave you? What a generous friend he is!
My friend is called Mi-chi...
As I saved his life,
he gave his house to me
Mi-chi? Where is he now?
Master Mi is tired of his life
He wants to live in the countryside
He has gone wandering already
Is what you said true?
I can guarantee that with my life
Lift your head and see who I am!
Your Highness!
Wu Yan, you cheated my properties and
occupied my house
While I was so good to you!
I then take your life as guarantee!
I was forced to do that by Chen and Cheng
I couldn't help doing that
Master Mi, have mercy on me, spare me
Take him out!
Master Mi...
Take him out! Yes! Move!
Master Mi, I dare not again...
Master Mi! I am a bit hungry
Yes, let's eat something
Piyue...
What happened to the figure of this month?
We spend 20 taels for the dog
Make it clear for me
It needs a lot of money for the child
Studying, visiting doctor
Why are you crying again?
You take care the dog rather than the child
Stop it
How could you
let your relative to live here
without charges
They are Piyue and her relatives
It's nothing to do with me
Come over here...over here...
This is your son
Hold the dog please
You don't need to take care of it
