Flourished Peony (2025) s01e12 Episode Script

Da Fu, we're already friends. Do we still need a ceremony to become sworn sisters?
How can that be acceptable? Today, we captured the villain together.
Administering justice is a bond stronger than life itself. How can we treat it lightly?
But the rites of sisterhood are complex. The required implements are numerous.
- We don't really have things at home.
- Indeed.
What does a righteous person have to fear from this difficulty? The torches are ready
and the three sacrificial animals are ready. I'll make sure to prepare everything one by one.
We don't have the God of Heaven and Earth at home. Maybe we should just forget it.
The God of Heaven and Earth?
There's one twenty li away. I'll go and invite it.
No need, no need. Let's just take the oath now.
Who is this? Will it work?
This is the God of Wealth. Sincerity brings divine response.
All the gods and immortals under heaven are one family. The God of Wealth will surely pass our message on.
He surely won't quibble with us. Let's just take the oath.
Alright.
The stars are brilliant tonight.
Let's turn off the lights and watch the stars later.
Yes, Sir.
Why is there a light over there?
I've heard that Miss He has hired a new hand.
It's the female vigilante who helped them punish the evil people on the street today.
They're now taking the oath of sisterhood by torchlight.
She has recruited another enforcer.
Is she doing business or becoming a bandit?
With the supreme heaven above and earth below as witness, today, the three of us form an alliance here,
wishing the words in our hearts' be as fragrant as orchids
and our pact as solid as stone!
- Joining…
- Joining hearts and efforts.
Joining hearts and efforts!
- Entrusting…
- Entrusting each other in life and death.
Entrusting each other in life and death. A…
A complete mess.
Why is forming a sisterhood so troublesome?
[Sisterhood scroll]
She has a child's temperament after all.
Da Fu, stop looking. Do you think this will work?
Not seeking to be born on the same year, same month, and same day,
but seeking to be rich on the same year, same month, and same day.
Alright, this is pleasing to the ear. Let's say it that way!
Come on.
Not seeking to be born on the same year, same month, and same day,
but seeking to be rich on the same year, same month, and same day.
Madam Sun said incense powder uses cornmeal as the base.
Fragrant materials are spread on top of it.
But the cornmeal will cover the smell of the fragrant materials, so the peony scent won't be that strong.
The Sleeve Lingering peony is more aromatic than common peonies.
But it still can't surpass magnolias and other flowers.
So if you make incense using traditional craftsmanship, I'm afraid it won't be satisfactory.
Madam, I think it might be better if we directly add floral materials into the base powder.
This way the peony fragrance can be more intense. What do you think?
Not bad! I've never seen any incense shop add fragrant materials into the base powder,
especially such expensive peonies. If this can be made, it's certain to become famous.
But this way, we'll need even more floral materials.
Wouldn't it be more prudent to use traditional methods?
Peony incense powder is already unique in the two markets.
Even with less floral materials, it can still sell well.
Since we've decided to make peony incense powder, we must make it the best.
Every step must strive for excellence. We can't just be trying to get famous.
Only then can we be worthy of our garden full of peonies and worthy of each of our trusting customers.
Since no one has any objections, let's start working.
- Okay.
- Let's get to work.
Come on.
Mu Dan, the making of incense powder is divided into five steps.
The first four steps are all about making the powder.
Selecting fragrant materials.
Can they be used as fragrance?
- Yes, they can.
- Great, I'll cut some more.
Making the incense powder.
Steaming flower essence.
The flower essence is ready!
Mu Dan! Mu Dan, come and see.
Take a sniff.
I'll smell it.
That's right, this is the scent. Sweet and fragrant.
Mix the powder with the floral essence.
After drying, make it into base powder.
Then comes the final step, blending the fragrance.
Marvelous.
Mu Dan, thanks to your reminder,
the rich scent of peony root can be incorporated into the fragrance.
This way, our peony incense powder will be effective
for invigorating blood and removing spots.
Madam, with this final step of blending the fragrance, are there any particular requirements?
Blending scents isn't difficult. Anyone can do it.
The intensity of the fragrance and the amount used all depend on the shop owner's preference.
Everyone has put in effort together. How can it be decided just by my preference?
Let's blend it together. Sheng Yi, you first.
The peony is noble and elegant. I think the incense powder should also be subtly elegant.
It makes it more extraordinary.
Yours is too mild, a gust of wind will dissipate it. It's fine for ladies to use indoors.
For someone like me who does physical work, I need a rich and long-lasting scent.
No, no. That's wasteful.
We don't have much Sleeve Lingering peonies left.
If we blend it this strong, we can't make many boxes.
Well, that's not a problem. Besides Sleeve Lingering peonies, don't we have other floral materials to use?
We can sell a variety of incense powder together.
Customers will have more choices then.
But making the base powder has already taken a long time.
Now we have to blend fragrances, package them, and sell them.
I'm afraid we're short-handed.
I actually have an idea.
Without worrying about the strength of the scent, it also solves the problem of insufficient manpower.
[West Market]
Bravo!
The pattern of the fabric is almost the same as last year. It's really dull.
Same with incense powder. Each shop still has the same old things.
I've grown tired of using Yao's.
The scent of this incense powder is uniquely delicate and elegant.
Which incense shop produced it?
This young lady has a good command of martial arts.
Bravo!
Well done!
Who wants your reward? Take it away.
I'm not a performer.
Take a look! We just opened a new flower stall!
Everyone, come take a look at our flower stand when you have time!
[High quality peony incense powder]
It's just right here. Right here on this small flag, do you see it?
It's here.
[Peony incense powder made as you wish]
Uniquely original, fragrances made as you wish.
Choose and mix your own, a thousand scents for a thousand people!
- This one is better.
- Here, take your hand basket.
Miss, forty wen. This way.
- Previously, the incense powder in incense shops was always too sweet.
- Thank you.
Now, at last, one can blend their own.
I want a kind that's unique and captivating.
I have some pepper stored at home, can it be added?
- Yes, it can.
- Really?
- Okay.
- Thank you, Madam.
Uniquely original, a thousand scents for a thousand people!
Choose and mix your own. Everyone, come and take a look!
Sheng Yi, we've earned back all the money for Spring Evening's fertilizer.
That's great. Once this batch of Spring Evening sells out successfully,
we'll be able to recoup all of our lost capital.
Not only that, we could even make a profit by then.
Sheng Yi,
this is for you.
[Silver Note]
The business is something we do together. Of course, the money earned should be shared equally.
I've opened an account in your name at the bank.
All of this month's profits have been deposited there.
Before long, you'll be able to bring your younger brother over and you can be reunited.
Mu Dan, thank you.
We don't need to say these things between us.
From now on, this will be your pocket money.
You'll no longer need to consider other people's attitudes.
Sheng Yi, remember, from now on,
you only need to act in accordance with your heart. Be free and easy.
[Silver Note]
Your Highness is unwell. Why not take a leave?
It's just a minor illness, hardly worth mentioning.
State affairs should take precedence. Your Highness loves the people and cares for all things.
I'm ashamed of not measuring up.
Since when has the court become a theater?
Every day, performing an act of loving the people as one's own.
Aren't you tired? I'm weary of watching it.
Gentlemen,
I bring a message from His Majesty.
Having diligently studied throughout the night, His Majesty has caught a chill.
He will not attend court these days.
You've just presented a batch of rare and exotic items and then His Majesty fell ill.
Such unfortunate timing.
Given that His Majesty is ill, what politics are there left to discuss?
Gentlemen, quickly follow me to visit His Majesty.
- Master Xu, please wait.
- What is it?
His Majesty specifically instructed that no one should go to see him.
He doesn't wish to delay state affairs on account of himself.
Everyone should go on discussing the matters at hand.
Isn't Prince Ning is here? Let all decisions be made by him.
Master Xu, you're most sympathetic towards the sovereign.
You wouldn't fail to appreciate His Majesty's hard efforts.
Gentlemen, please continue with the discussions.
I wish to report on the matter of the Ministry of Revenue's taxes.
Since the new tax law was implemented, the court has reduced taxes and farmer's unpaid wages year after year.
However, upon examining the regional reports, I found that although land taxes were reduced,
the farmers are still burdened with many levies of tribute.
Consequently, the people's burdens haven't lightened, and the national treasury hasn't been filled.
The implementation of the new taxes was overseen by Prince Ning.
Now there are discrepancies in the taxes.
Is this so?
Presumably, it's due to the frequent changes in the new tax laws and different interpretations from place to place.
That's why such oversights have occurred.
In that case, I'll send someone to inspect the situation tomorrow. The issue will certainly be resolved.
This matter has far-reaching implications. I fear
Prince Ning said he'll handle it, so he will.
Do you not believe him?
Let's discuss the next matter.
Having finished the leader loving his people act, now it's the fox exploiting the tiger's might.
You really treat the court as if it were your own backyard.
Floral Envoy, you're so biased. How can we even discuss politics like this?
So what if I'm biased towards Prince Ning?
I went to inspect Luoyang before.
The locals live in peace and contentment, well-dressed and well-fed.
It's clear that the government affairs are well-managed under Prince Ning's leadership.
How can the great affairs of the court tolerate the reckless talk of a minor Floral Envoy?
Don't forget, Minister. I'm also the Deputy Minister of the Office of Imperial Ceremonies.
Moreover, I'm as close as family to His Majesty.
How can I not speak?
Prince Ning and His Majesty are even closer as blood relatives.
The political achievements over the years are there for all to see.
Could it be that His Majesty doesn't trust the two of us but you, these ministers of different surnames?
You!
Arguing with these old men is really meaningless.
It's better to go play with my fish.
Please continue, gentlemen. Farewell.
I take my leave.
The jumping clown has finally left, good riddance.
Gentlemen, please continue the discussion.
Your Highness, Minister Cui from the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for selecting officials,
has been accused by the students. His judgments have been ghostwritten by others.
As a dutiful official, I offer my remonstration. Please, Your Highness, deal with this.
This matter is of great importance and requires further investigation.
Perhaps it's better to put it aside for now.
Students are an important asset to the country. How can we treat them with neglect?
Minister Cui's actions of forgery are enough to prove
that our current system of selecting the worthy has become a place for private dealings!
The prosperity of the country depends on talents.
Therefore, the selection of talents is of utmost importance.
Imperial examination reforms are imperative.
I've already drafted a strategy. Please, Your Highness, make your decision.
First, standardize the selection system.
Those who serve in the court also need to be re-evaluated and adjudicated.
Those whose virtue doesn't match their position, dismiss.
Second, lower the threshold for the imperial exam. Redistribute the numbers of successful candidates.
The admission ratio of official and private schools should be changed from the original nine to one to six to four.
- Master Xu.
- Well…
The official school is established by the imperial court.
The enrollees are all relatives of the numerous officials. It can be called a selection of superior talents.
Naturally, they should be granted more spots.
But the character of the commoners is uneven.
If many are chosen for court positions, there must be hidden dangers.
I myself am from a humble background.
I'm the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor favored by the late emperor.
Remonstrating Minister, are you belittling me or the late emperor?
This Master Xu, stop talking nonsense.
How would I dare be disrespectful to the late emperor?
A slip of the tongue, a slip.
Gentlemen,
the country itself is composed of countless ordinary commoners.
Only by letting them step into the officialdom can they truly work for the benefit of the common people!
Your Highness, if you truly have the people's interests at heart,
I hope you'll purge corrupt practices in the official circles.
From now on, deemphasize pedigree and value capability.
- I agree.
- I agree.
Xu Zu Ping is truly cunning.
Act first and report later, leaving us no way to respond.
Rest assured, Your Highness. I've already ordered someone to write Minister Cui's petition.
Once the accusing students are settled, order a halt to the local officials' recommendation of tribute scholars.
Then we can make things work out from there.
Tens of thousands of commoner students
are just like this water.
It can both carry and overturn the boat, all follow Xu Zu Ping's lead.
Xu Zu Ping is the cup that can gather the force of many waters.
If this cup breaks,
even steaming tea will spill instantly, losing its power to gather together.
Xu Zu Ping is a prestigious veteran of two dynasties.
Your Highness, perhaps you should reconsider it.
He neither retires nor submits. He has interfered with my grand endeavors several times.
It's just that His Majesty deeply trusts this teacher
and I can't overly defy him.
But I've tolerated him for too long.
I understand, I'll go handle it.
Your Highness, Assistant Secretary Liu requests an audience.
- Let him in.
-Yes.
Greetings, Your Highness.
It seems you haven't adapted to life in Chang'an yet.
You still think of yourself as the son of a judge.
Even the minor officials in the Ministry of Revenue are aware of our relationship.
My son-in-law, you sit in the position of Assistant Secretary, you've forgotten?
I hope you won't blame me.
I'm not yet married to You Zhen yet. I dare not rashly change my title.
Although I have your protection, I still dedicate myself to my official duties in the Ministry of Revenue.
I don't wish to broadcast it widely and be treated differently.
Gossip isn't worth mentioning.
What brings you here today?
Father-in-law, I've reviewed the Ministry of Revenue's archives of the past few years
and found that the revenue and expenditure of the ministry are unbalanced, mostly due to flooding.
If we want to resolve this situation, we must prioritize water control.
I've studied the water systems of various regions and have prepared a policy paper.
I now present it for you to review.
Zi Shu, what is this?
The past few days, while writing the policy, I haven't changed my clothing.
I must've carelessly gotten some ink stains.
As the husband of the County Princess,
every word and action, every item of clothing and accessory, all represent my dignity.
When serving as an official outside, you cannot lose your status and nobility.
Yes, Sir.
Besides, these clothes of yours were all meticulously prepared by You Zhen.
You should cherish and love them.
Do not forget your duty.
I understand.
- This policy paper…
- I'll read it later.
Recently, the late peach blossoms on the outskirts of the city are blooming beautifully.
When you're free, go accompany You Zhen and take a walk.
Yes, Sir.
Then, I shall take my leave first.
Mu Dan, here, taste this.
The cake is sweet and fragrant, the taste is excellent.
It's good as long as you like it.
When you had me infuse the flowers into the incense. That's when I thought of putting it into cakes.
No matter what you wish to do, I'll always be with you.
You've always loved rose steamed cakes.
Eat some, then we'll have strength to mess up the Liu family's business together.
After we're done, let's eat together.
Miss, just go. I'll hold them off here.
Move!
- Miss, go.
- Move!
- Hurry, stop Young Madam!
- Yes, Sir.
- Miss!
- Move!
Miss!
Yu Lu. Yu Lu, don't scare me. Yu Lu.
Yulu, please wake up, okay?
Tasty.
Mu dan,
wh-what's wrong?
Nothing.
I was just reminded of someone from the past.
If she were still here, she would definitely love the flower cakes you make.
Don't cry anymore.
Sheng Yi, these cakes are so delicious.
If we were to gift them to customers, it would surely retain more customers.
How many of these cakes have you made?
Originally, I made fifty.
But as soon as they came out of the oven, Chuan Yu smelled them and they took them away.
The Floral Envoy even doesn't spare the snacks of the poor.
We toil from dawn till dusk. Isn't it just to avoid owing him interest?
But he, on the contrary, takes advantage of us.
Where did they go?
Today, I'll go myself.
If you go, who knows in whose stomach these flower cakes will end up in?
Then I won't go. But if someone comes looking for you,
doubting why I didn't accompany you to see the dancer, what should I say?
Let them think about it.
If you were to go with me to see the dancer, all lovey-dovey, would that be proper?
Farewell, My Lord.
May I borrow a horse?
Thank you.
Meeting the dancer, with Miss He following.
That's proper?
- Again. Come on.
- Continue.
This time it must be better than before.
I still want to test you.
I have seven cakes here.
I gave you one, how many are left?
Five.
Tang'er, if this still isn't clear to you,
I can't give you the cakes.
Brother.
- Tang'er.
- Uncle said if I can't count properly,
I can't eat the cakes.
Tang'er, don't cry. Don't cry.
Let me ask you, Uncle gave you three flower cakes and I gave you two more.
Now, how many flower cakes do you have in hand?
Seven.
First go to Uncle to get the cake. Just say I gave it to you.
- Brother!
- Look at you.
- Brother!
- Here.
I can't shoot well with the slingshot you gave me.
- I'll give you the cakes.
- Can you teach me?
- Thank you, Uncle.
- Okay.
- Don't cry anymore, okay?
To shoot accurately, first hold the bow steady.
Aim at the target.
Release.
Thief, where do you think you're going?
You little boy are really interesting.
I'm not a thief, quite the opposite, I'm here to catch a thief.
To catch the thief who stole my flower cakes.
You stole my things to curry favors
and shamelessly threw stones at me.
Setting such an example, aren't you afraid of leading them astray like this?
This upper beam of mine was never straight to begin with. They might grow so crooked they become straight.
I wonder why today's pastries are tastier than usual.
Sui Zhi just loves to joke.
Miss, don't stoop to his level.
Quick, come in for a cup of tea.
- Run slower.
- Okay, okay!
Brother.
Uncle Wu, is this a place for orphans?
This is the home I share with the children.
Although they've lost their parents, they aren't orphans.
- It was my narrow-mindedness. Uncle Wu, please don't blame me.
- It's alright.
I just don't want the children to feel that they're different from others.
They're being cared for with great attention here and they have so many brothers and sisters.
Compared to children from other families, perhaps they're even happier.
That's true, indeed.
Although they can't compare with children from wealthy families,
they're looked after by Sui Zhi. They don't worry about food, clothing, or other expenses.
There's a teacher who comes here to teach them reading and manners, too.
Had I not seen it with my own eyes,
I would hardly believe the Floral Envoy would personally boil water and coax children.
Uncle Wu, the Floral Envoy seems very familiar with you.
You said you're originally from Luoyang. Why are you here now helping him take care of these children?
I left home to work at the Jiang Mansion years ago, hoping to earn more money.
I had some knowledge of traditional medicine.
So the servants in the mansion would come to me whenever they felt unwell.
Later, Sui Zhi's mother promoted me to be the steward of her court.
You could say I watched Sui Zhi grow up.
No wonder he holds you in great respect.
Uncle Wu, was the Floral Envoy a really rebellious character in his youth?
Sui Zhi may seem untamed, but in fact, his nature is pure and good.
After his mother passed away, all the court staff were dismissed.
That year, unexpectedly, there was a famine.
Many children were left homeless.
Sui Zhi then asked me to come back to help him take care of these children.
- What are you doing?
- Auntie Wang, who was supposed to bathe the children today, has fallen ill.
If it weren't for the lack of hands, do you think I would have allowed you to come along?
The girls are your responsibility.
Even though you're my creditor, at least I'm a free person.
Not only do you not repay me for the cakes, but you're also ordering me around.
Is there no justice in this world?
You're so stingy.
Deduct the cost of the cakes and labor from the dividends, okay?
Your brother doesn't use the right attitude to ask for a favor.
But seeing how adorable you are, I'll take you to bathe, all right?
Are you his wife?
- No.
- No.
Why do you make flower cakes for him and help him then?
Of course, it's because she owes me.
Don't listen to him. He's talking nonsense. Let's go.
Slow down, slow down.
I'm going to catch you.
Uncle Wu, come catch me!
- Come on, sit down.
- I'm over here!
- I'll teach you how to write it down.
-You're peeking!
Horizontal lines must be level, vertical lines must be straight.
Can't escape, just can't escape.
They're indeed your brothers and sisters.
Can't even take a bath without making a fuss.
- Can't catch me!
- Come on!
Auntie Wang is getting on in years. Why don't you take over the job of helping bathe them from now on?
Alright. As long as every month, you deduct the labor costs from the dividends.
Alright.
I'm over here! Over here!
Jiang Chang Yang, when you're with the children, you really don't seem like a corrupt official.
You've finally noticed the redeeming feature of this wealthy idler.
Clearly possessing a kind heart, why do you conceal it?
Are you afraid of being discovered by someone?
If I wished to conceal it, how could you have found out?
If you want to go back and clear my name, I certainly won't refuse.
But I'm afraid others won't believe what you say. Instead they'll accuse me of feigning virtue.
I'm not as noble as you think.
It's just that the treasury can't hold all the money and goods.
So I took some out to do good deeds and accumulate merit.
After all, you know, too many people have cursed me to death.
Look, I'm here! Over here!
Come quick. Quick, hide!
Hide!
For the last batch of Sleeve Lingering peonies, I've thought of a way to improve it.
Don't be greedy for too many flowers. At most, leave three flowers on one plant.
The leaves need to be pruned massively to avoid stealing nutrients.
Use a bigger flowerpot. Increase the thickness of the base fertilizer.
Ensure there's enough space for the roots to grow.
Carve crescent patterns on the flowerpot to remind buyers
that this flower should be kept indoors and not exposed to direct sunlight.
Every flower purchaser will receive a jar of flower fertilizer as a gift,
making it more convenient for buyers to care for the flowers.
Mu Dan, the Floral Envoy has indeed spent money to buy our fresh flower cakes.
Chuan Yu said that from now on, the Jiang Mansion will order 100 each month.
He certainly keeps his word.
Sheng Yi, what do you think of the Floral Envoy as a person?
The Floral Envoy is always smiling.
He's not as detestable as the outside rumors suggest.
Children are the most innocent. They can't disguise their affection for someone.
It shows he's sincere towards the children.
Perhaps the Floral Envoy isn't bad by nature.
Maybe he's just greedy for money.
He's usually so stingy.
How could he be generous and perform charitable acts?
Which side of him is the real him after all?
Mu Dan, why do you care so much about the Floral Envoy's character?
Could it be that you've taken a liking to him?
What are you thinking?
He's our landlord and creditor.
Understanding his temperament is all beneficial and not harmful to our business.
- That's true.
- Help out.
Careful.
When you earn enough money, haven't you thought about marrying into a good family?
Life after marriage is certainly not as free as it is now.
Besides, some marriages are very costly.
I'd better keep my distance.
- Mu Dan, Sheng Yi!
- How come you're back?
The peony incense powder is in small quantity. It sold out in less than two hours.
My mother said she would look after the stall. She asked me to come back and transport all the Spring Evening over.
- Great! All of these can be moved.
- Okay.
The improved Sleeve Lingering peony is growing very well.
Up till today, not a single person has come back for a return.
Now the incense powder business is also booming.
- We really have gone through hardships to reap the benefits.
- Fortunately, we refunded the money in time.
The flower shop's business has increased instead.
After these peony flowers are completely off the market, relying on the incense powder
and Spring Evening earnings, we can afford to rent a shop in the West Market.
Really?
But rent for a shop isn't cheap.
Can we really open a shop?
What others don't have, we have.
That's the foundation for our shop.
Besides, we started our business with potted peonies.
But eventually, it's just a seasonal gimmick.
If we want to last, we must cultivate new products.
Actually, I've always felt that our courtyard still isn't big enough.
If we could rent a shop with a flower garden, we could sell goods in the front space
and cultivate various flowers in the inner yard. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
As long as we can grow flowers that others don't have, those wasted flowers will be our ready-made incense powder.
The incense powder business can also last without decline.
That would be wonderful! My mother spends all day at home worrying.
She's afraid that once the peony incense powder is sold out, we'll be out of business.
If we always have novel base powders as our signboard,
we won't fear others copying our custom fragrance-making method.
- That's right.
- Yes, think about it.
Even if these peonies never go out of season, everyone would get tired of them after a year.
Nothing compares to changing fragrances in four seasons to retain customers.
That's true.
Da Fu, I'm usually good at growing flowers.
We'll have to rely more on Madam Sun for the incense powder.
Rest assured about that.
Sheng Yi, I've thought about it.
If we really open a shop, besides selling some affordably priced fresh flowers,
I also want to sell some famous brands. You're the most skillful and meticulous.
You're already very proficient at cultivating these common flowers.
In the future, I want to spend more time cultivating new varieties. I'll rely on you for the other flowers.
Leave this to me, rest assured.
When Spring Evening is all sold out, shall we mainly sell herbaceous peonies?
Of course, we can. There are many varieties of herbaceous peonies to sell.
Oh, right. I bought a few herbaceous peonies from the flower farmer.
Tomorrow we can transplant them into the courtyard to cultivate and improve them.
Tomorrow, you can be at ease with your business. Leave the flower stall to me and Da Fu.
Okay.
- Come on.
- It's almost done.
- Almost done. Steady it from the front again.
- Okay.
