0:52 Mother, stop!
0:57 You've been talking for three days.
1:00 I've thought it over.
1:02 Alright, I'll get married.
1:04 Good! To what sort of man?
1:09 What sort of man? Is it up to me?
1:13 You always speak of money. Why not marry a rich man?
1:19 Marry a rich man and you'll only be his concubine.
1:28 Let me be a concubine.
1:33 Isn't that a woman's fate?
4:11 Miss, looking for someone?
4:17 I'm Songlian.
4:19 We met once, remember?
4:22 It's our Fourth Mistress! Please wait...
4:32 We sent the bridal sedan for you. Didn't it arrive?
4:35 I walked here myself.
4:47 - Let me carry it. - I can manage.
5:12 Wait here. I'll go take a look.
5:34 Who are you?
5:39 Fourth Mistress, please come in.
5:43 So the Fourth Mistress is you!
5:54 Yes, I'm the Fourth Mistress!
6:04 Bring my suitcase inside.
6:17 This is where you will live.
6:20 My name is Chen Baishun, the housekeeper. I am at your service.
6:27 Why are there so many red lanterns?
6:31 Because you're coming!
8:08 Fourth Mistress, this is part of our family custom.
8:11 I'm here to serve you.
10:21 You'll get used to it.
10:36 Fourth Mistress. we're here to do your hair and help you change.
11:04 Master, congratulations on your wedding.
11:17 How was the foot massage?
11:24 A woman's feet are very important.
11:27 When they're comfortable, she is healthier...
11:31 ...and better able to serve her man.
11:35 Pick up that lantern.
11:40 Yes, that one.
12:03 Higher...
12:10 Look up.
12:18 Educated girls are different.
12:21 Now, undress and get in bed.
13:20 Put out the lights.
13:22 What? I have all these lanterns so I can see.
13:28 I like it bright and formal.
14:02 Who's there?
14:04 Third Mistress is sick. She wants you to come.
14:06 I'm in bed.
14:09 It's an emergency.
14:11 She said you must come.
14:12 It can wait till tomorrow.
14:15 If something serious happens to her,
14:17 we'll be blamed.
14:19 Damn it! What is she up to?
14:27 I'll have to go see. Or she won't let me sleep tonight.
14:35 The Master is leaving? Going to the third house?
14:38 Yes!
14:39 Light the lanterns at the third house!
16:25 Fourth Mistress...
16:30 Fourth Mistress. According to our custom,
16:33 you should visit the other three mistress.
16:37 Take your breakfast later.
16:58 It's our custom to have all meetings and meals here.
17:02 The Chen family's customs go back many generations.
17:06 It is important that you obey them.
17:36 Kowtow to our ancestors.
17:47 First, go to greet the master at the Third Mistress' house.
18:00 It seems they're still asleep.
18:03 We'll come back.
18:23 First Mistress, the Fourth Mistress is here to visit.
18:29 Big sister.
18:34 How old are you?
18:37 Nineteen.
18:40 I heard you went to university.
18:44 For six months.
18:49 It's good you're educated.
18:56 You'll get used to living here.
19:01 Get on well with your sisters.
19:05 Serve the Master well.
19:11 You can go now.
19:21 Such sins, such sins...
19:31 What is she, about 100 years old? Ancient!
19:42 Second Mistress, the Fourth Mistress has come to visit.
19:51 Fourth sister is here. Come in!
19:54 Second sister.
19:56 Do come in.
20:02 What a pretty face! What is your name?
20:05 Songlian.
20:08 A pretty name, too.
20:10 I'm Zhouyun. Just call me by my name.
20:15 You look like a student.
20:18 I was at university for six months.
20:20 Why did you leave?
20:23 My father died. The family couldn't afford it.
20:28 How old was your father?
20:31 Fifty-three.
20:32 So young!
20:38 Life is so unpredictable.
20:42 Tea, Fourth Mistress.
20:46 Fourth sister, please have some tea.
20:52 Where are you from?
20:54 Fengcheng.
20:56 They grow tea there.
20:58 My father was in the tea business.
21:02 His shop closed down.
21:06 Your mother let you marry someone from so far away?
21:12 She's my stepmother.
21:17 I see.
21:21 So, how was the foot massage last night?
21:26 Is it like that every night?
21:30 Silly.
21:31 You can't have it whenever you wish.
21:34 Where the master spends the night...
21:36 ...that mistress gets a foot massage and lighted lanterns.
21:40 With a new wife as young and pretty as you...
21:44 ...I'm afraid I won't be enjoying these privileges for some time.
21:52 But don't underestimate the importance of this custom.
21:55 If you can manage to have a foot massage everyday...
21:57 ...you'll soon be running this household.
22:04 Yizhen, come meet your Fourth Aunt.
22:09 Fourth Aunt!
22:11 How useless! I only have a daughter.
22:14 It's getting late.
22:17 We must visit the Third Mistress.
22:19 Sorry, I just keep talking.
22:22 Of course you must meet the Third Mistress.
22:24 She was a famous opera singer.
22:27 She sings well and is pretty too.
22:29 But she can be so difficult.
22:33 Asking for the Master on...
22:36 ...your wedding night!
22:39 So impolite to you!
22:41 Wasn't she sick?
22:43 Sick? She's just spoiled!
23:16 Has the Master left?
23:17 Just now. They're putting out the lanterns.
23:20 Let's meet the Third Mistress.
23:24 Third Mistress says she isn't feeling well...
23:27 ...and says she'll meet you another day.
23:36 Third Mistress' son, Feilan.
23:40 Same age as Miss Yizhen.
23:43 Come meet your Fourth Aunt.
23:46 Fourth Aunt!
23:53 Fourth Mistress...
24:00 ...this is Yan'er.
24:01 Master says she'll be your maid.
24:08 Yan'er, come greet the Fourth Mistress.
24:13 I've seen her before. Bad tempered, isn't she?
24:17 No, she's a good girl. Quick and hardworking too.
24:20 Been here for several years.
24:22 No lice in her hair, are there? I hate lice.
24:27 Let the Fourth mistress take a look.
24:38 Kneel down. Let's look at your hair.
24:46 What is that smell? Go wash your hair!
24:52 Didn't you hear?
24:55 I only washed it yesterday.
24:57 And wash the clothes I just took off while you're at it.
25:01 Go, quickly!
25:03 Or the Fourth Mistress will be angry. Go!
25:13 Yan'er!
25:18 Why haven't you washed your hair?
25:21 The Master favours you and you thought he'd choose you as a wife.
25:28 You as our Fourth Mistress?
25:31 You were born to be a servant.
25:34 Serve the Fourth Mistress well!
25:37 Don't waste your time dreaming!
25:42 And don't forget to wash your hair!
26:00 Where is Meishan?
26:03 The Third Mistress is coming.
26:05 Doctor Gao is writing her a prescription.
26:16 Here comes third sister.
26:19 Third sister, this is our fourth sister.
26:23 You haven't met, have you?
26:28 Third sister!
26:37 Songlian is new here. Take good care of her.
26:41 From now on, you sisters must get on well with each other.
26:44 Let's eat.
26:57 Why aren't you eating?
27:00 I don't like meat.
27:04 What vegetable dishes do we have today?
27:06 Master, today we have...
27:10 ...fragrant mushrooms, chrysanthemum moss hair, bird's nest...
27:14 ...thrice-fried mushroom, five-color vegetables...
27:17 ...vegetarian hot-pot and also heart of cactus.
27:26 According to custom...
27:28 ...the one with lighted lanterns can have whatever she likes.
27:31 What would you like?
27:35 I want spinach and beancurd.
27:38 Bring some spinach and beancurd.
27:41 Also some young bean sprouts.
27:47 Fourth Mistress...
27:53 Master asks you to wait at the door for instructions.
27:59 What instructions?
28:03 Please wait outside.
28:05 The Master may have instructions before he retires.
28:09 But why do we have to wait outside?
28:13 It's another old family custom.
28:16 All the other mistresses ago.
28:30 But I wasn't called before.
28:32 Not for nine days after the wedding.
28:35 This is your 10th day.
29:42 Light the lanterns at the fourth house!
30:36 Well?
30:37 Lighted lanterns, foot massages. Do you like it here?
30:44 After a few days, you won't want to leave.
30:51 Who is it?
30:54 Third Mistress says she's sick again.
30:58 She wants the master to come over.
31:00 Third sister is asking for you again. You must go.
31:03 Meishan is so impossible!
31:08 Go, don't come to me again.
31:12 You don't mean that.
31:16 Tell the Third Mistress I won't see her tonight!
31:20 What am I to tell her?
31:22 Nonsense! What do you mean?
31:24 Tell her I'll see her tomorrow!
31:39 - Who's singing? Third sister? - Yes.
31:45 She was sick last night...
31:49 ...but she's singing at this hour.
31:54 She won't let us sleep.
31:57 She sings when she's happy, cries when she's mad.
32:02 That bitch! Never mind her!
34:54 Third sister, have you recovered?
35:01 Did I wake you from your sweet dreams?
35:05 Yes, you did.
35:09 Good, or you'll sleep till you're silly.
35:14 Silly, hardly! I came up to hear third sister sing.
35:20 Do continue.
35:23 You want to listen...
35:25 ...but I don't feel like singing anymore.
36:02 You went to hear Meishan sing?
36:10 I've spoiled her.
36:14 When she's angry, she even curses my ancestors.
36:18 Bitch!
36:20 I must teach her a lesson.
36:31 What? Angry?
36:38 Don't be childish.
36:42 I'll take you to Wumei Lane today to eat dumplings.
36:47 Didn't you say you liked the dumplings there?
36:57 You really don't want me to stay?
37:00 There are others desperate for a foot massage, you know.
37:08 The Master has left! Blow out the lanterns!
37:34 Light the lanterns at the third house!
38:06 Yan'er! Yan'er!
38:10 Coming!
38:21 Can't you walk faster?
38:50 Go away if you don't like working for me.
38:53 Don't think because the mater touched you, you can behave this way.
38:58 Always pulling a long face!
39:04 No, I wouldn't dare.
39:08 But any face is better than having none!
39:16 Why did you come to me?
39:20 Tired of your new wife already?
39:24 What's so good about my place?
39:28 She's mad at me.
39:30 Of course it's good here.
39:33 You are gentle and you'll sing for me.
40:10 Well done!
40:11 The more you sing, the better it gets. Again!
41:14 Fourth sister!
41:16 Fourth sister, come down here!
41:21 I've something to say to you.
41:26 Fourth sister.
41:30 Why wandering alone?
41:32 Come down.
41:34 I'm looking for you.
41:37 Second sister.
41:40 You don't look well.
41:44 No more lighted lanterns and foot massages...
41:46 ...are you unhappy?
41:49 I don't care. I like being alone.
41:55 You don't want to be alone in this family.
41:59 No foot massages for a few days...
42:01 ...and the servants don't treat you the same way.
42:04 The master can come and go as he pleases.
42:07 Doesn't he find these custom troublesome?
42:12 Lighting lanterns is an old family custom.
42:17 It was like this when I arrived.
42:20 This is silk from Suzhou. Have some dresses made with it.
42:24 I'm embarrassed.
42:29 I should be giving you gifts.
42:30 Why?
42:33 I thought of this silk when I first saw you.
42:39 I wouldn't give it to that singer...
42:42 ...even if she paid for it.
42:47 Did you see how self-satisfied she was just now?
42:51 What is that small room for up above?
42:55 it's locked with a big chain.
42:57 That house of death?
42:59 Don't go there. Several people have died there.
43:03 What people?
43:09 Women from past generations. They hanged there.
43:15 Don't ask about this. Nobody here wants to talk about it.
43:23 Visit me when you have time. Don't go there again.
43:32 The Master's out.
43:33 He said you shouldn't wait for him.
43:41 Let's eat then.
43:55 Why is there no spinach and beancurd?
44:01 There are too many vegetable dishes already.
44:05 Go, bring some pork steamed in lotus leaves.
44:09 Yes.
44:24 Why so many meat dishes today?
44:27 The third house had lighted lanterns yesterday.
44:31 Didn't the master remarry recently?
44:34 Who knows about these things?
44:37 It's up to him.
44:39 The house with lighted lanterns sets the menu.
44:42 We just follow orders.
45:59 Who is it?
46:00 Yan'er.
46:03 Why are you sneaking around like that?
46:06 Third Mistress asks you over to play mahjong.
46:09 Me, play mahjong? What an idea!
46:15 I won't go.
46:18 Fourth sister...
46:25 ...we need one more player. Come!
46:31 I don't like mahjong.
46:36 Come on. Don't stay in your house all day.
46:46 Still angry about the spinach and beancurd?
46:50 I couldn't care less.
46:52 Good. I knew fourth sister wasn't petty.
46:57 Don't like losing your money to me too?
47:01 Don't worry. I'll let you win.
47:07 Since you put it that way, then I must go.
47:13 But no need to let me win.
47:15 Who knows how the game will end?
47:18 Good!
47:24 This is Doctor Gao, a regular visitor.
47:26 He is our family doctor.
47:28 His friend, Mr. Wang.
47:29 This is our Fourth Mistress.
47:32 Please sit down.
47:35 Let's start.
47:39 Our Fourth Mistress was a university student.
47:42 I'm only an opera singer.
47:47 She plays to win today.
47:50 Both of you should be careful.
47:52 Come, it's just a game.
47:58 Third sister's house is decorated like a stage.
48:03 No one can forget their past.
48:11 The Master's back.
48:12 Why wasn't it announced?
48:14 I just came in.
48:17 The Master must be tired.
48:18 Where is she?
48:19 Playing mahjong with the Third Mistress.
48:22 I'll call her.
48:23 Never mind.
48:26 Why can't she stay in her own house?
48:29 Light the lanterns at the second house.
48:56 The master's back. He couldn't find you...
48:58 ...and went to the second house.
49:08 Nevermind. Let's play.
49:19 Fourth sister has done Zhuoyun a favour.
49:24 She is so lonely.
49:27 Lend her the master for one night.
49:29 If you lose money, have her pay you back.
49:31 Then you're even.
49:40 I heard the Fourth Mistress didn't finish university. Why?
49:45 What's the use?
49:47 I'm just one of the Master's robes.
49:50 He can wear it or he can take it off.
50:11 Master, I want to give you a son.
50:54 Meishan was famous for singing this opera.
51:05 That was years ago.
52:12 This place must be haunted.
52:14 Haunted? Nonsense!
52:19 That room on the roof.
52:21 Two people hanged there, that's all.
52:28 Why?
52:30 Need you ask? They were having illicit affairs.
52:36 Who were they?
52:39 Nobody you know. Two women from past generations.
52:47 Concubines?
52:52 Don't talk nonsense!
53:09 What is it now?
53:11 She's peeping at us.
53:13 - Who? - Yan'er.
53:16 What's there to look at. She can't see anything anyway.
53:21 You're always on her side.
53:24 I can smell her miles away.
53:38 - Who is it? - Master.
53:43 What is it?
53:44 The Fourth Mistress' spinach and beancurd is ready.
53:50 The other mistresses are waiting.
53:54 I'm not going. Ask them to bring it here.
54:01 That's not right.
54:04 We should go or they'll talk.
54:08 Them!
54:09 What do I care if they talk!
54:14 Alright, we'll eat here.
54:17 Go, tell them to bring the food here.
54:29 The Master asks that you go ahead.
54:31 He isn't coming.
54:32 The food will be taken to the Fourth Mistress' room.
54:43 We don't have this custom here.
54:48 Is this not the Fourth Mistress' idea?
55:02 Third sister, don't be angry. Let's eat.
55:10 Big sister, let me make this clear.
55:16 If my lanterns are lit,
55:19 I want my food brought to me too.
55:22 You want to be as foolish?
55:28 How does that make our Big sister feel?
55:30 What do I matter? I'm just an old woman.
55:35 One of these days, this family will perish in your hands.
55:50 Who is playing the flute?
55:52 Our young master. he came back this morning.
55:55 Feipu, son of the First Mistress?
55:57 I heard he's always away.
55:59 He's very busy.
56:01 He's going Yunnan in the morning.
56:59 Are you Songlian?
57:05 You shouldn't call me by my name.
57:08 How should I address you? Fourth Mistress?
57:18 Did the music bring you here?
57:21 Go on, don't let me stop you.
57:25 Can you play too?
57:29 Feipu, come down here.
57:37 My mother wants me. I must go.
58:24 Yan'er!
58:26 Come here.
58:32 Did you open my suitcase?
58:34 Yes, to tidy up your clothes.
58:39 Did you see a flute inside?
58:41 Flute? No. Only men play the flute.
58:50 You stole it.
58:52 Fourth Mistress. Why would I want to steal it?
58:57 You're always sneaking about. Stop pretending.
59:01 Don't blame it on me.
59:04 Ask the other mistress.
59:07 Have I ever stolen anything?
59:16 Fourth Mistress, I really didn't take your flute!
59:23 Fourth Mistress, I didn't!
59:27 I didn't take it!
59:33 Don't go in! I didn't take your flute!
59:36 Then what are you afraid of?
59:39 I must take a look!
59:48 How dare you light lanterns here!
59:53 You're only a servant!
59:56 Don't you know the rules here?
59:59 Do you know what could happen to you?
60:00 I beg you. Don't tell anyone.
60:06 Alright, then give me back my flute.
60:09 I really didn't take you flute.
60:19 Fourth Mistress...
60:39 "Songlian."
60:48 You've put a curse on me!
60:53 You want me to die!
61:46 Don't cry.
61:51 I shouldn't treat you this way.
61:54 I'll forget what you did.
62:04 You can't read or write.
62:11 Tell me, who wrote my name for you?
62:18 I can't tell you.
62:24 Don't be afraid. Tell me who wrote it.
62:29 I'll keep your secret about the lanterns.
62:37 Is it the First Mistress?
62:46 Then it must be the Third Mistress.
62:55 The Second Mistress? Zhuoyun?
63:12 Zhuoyun.
63:25 Who are you mad at now?
63:38 Where did you put my flute?
63:42 I didn't want it to distract you. I took it away.
63:49 Who gave it to you?
63:55 It belonged to my father.
64:04 Sorry for being suspicious.
64:06 I thought it was one of the boys at university.
64:13 Where is it? Give it back.
64:19 I had it burnt.
64:25 Burnt?
64:45 It's only a flute.
64:49 I'll tell them to buy you several good ones.
64:58 I hate nothing more than people throwing tantrums.
65:03 Why not go to Zhuoyun?
65:05 She always has a smile on.
65:08 I'm going!
65:13 Light the lanterns at the second house!
65:31 Fourth sister!
65:37 Yan'er said you weren't well.
65:49 Are you really sick, or just angry?
65:55 What brought you here?
65:57 Get up and give me a haircut.
65:59 Haircut? I don't know how.
66:03 Ask the other sisters.
66:06 How can they?
66:08 You're better. You went to university.
66:10 I want you to cut my hair.
66:13 Get up! Come!
66:28 Why do you suddenly want a haircut?
66:34 Didn't the Master spend the night with me last night?
66:38 I told him I was getting old.
66:40 Guess what he said?
66:44 He said I'd look younger with short hair.
66:48 Since he said that,
66:50 I must cut my hair.
66:55 Go ahead, cut!
67:00 I've never done this before. You may get hurt.
67:01 Don't worry. Go ahead.
67:05 Alright...
67:43 My ear!
67:47 My ear!
67:52 What happened, Second Mistress?
67:59 My ear!
68:19 Go away!
68:21 What are you looking at? Fetch a doctor!
68:40 Third sister, what's so funny?
68:43 If I hated someone, I'd cut her ear off too.
68:47 I'd cut all of it off.
68:50 You think I did it deliberately?
68:55 Who knows?
69:20 Zhuoyun has a Buddha's face and a scorpion's heart.
69:24 She's the true wicked one.
69:29 You think I'm against you.
69:31 She's the one I hate most.
69:36 I'm no match for her.
69:41 Perhaps you can do better.
69:43 I thought so when I first saw you.
69:49 Do you know about our giving birth?
69:54 We both became pregnant about the same time.
70:00 When I was three months along...
70:04 ...she slipped some medicine into my food.
70:13 I was lucky and didn't have a miscarriage.
70:21 When we were due,
70:25 she wanted to have her baby first...
70:30 ...and ordered expensive injections to speed up the delivery.
70:36 She was in great pain.
70:43 In the end, I was lucky...
70:45 ...and had my boy, Feilan.
70:51 She only had a cheap little girl...
70:57 ...born three hours after my son.
71:02 You're new here and the Master isn't tired of you yet.
71:09 But if you don't give him a son...
71:15 ...there will be hard times ahead.
71:20 You may be a student and I'm only an opera singer.
71:25 But our fate is the same.
71:35 What happened?
71:43 The Master spent only one night with me...
71:50 ...and fourth sister already hates me so much.
71:54 She almost killed me.
72:01 Doctor Gao said the scissors just missed my artery.
72:09 That serious?
72:15 It's your fault. You said I'd look younger with a haircut.
72:21 That gave her the idea.
72:29 You sisters shouldn't be like this.
72:31 Alright. I'll stay with you for a few nights.
72:40 Light the lanterns at the second house!
72:53 The Fourth Mistress is here.
72:56 Fourth sister, you've come.
72:59 Second sister!
73:00 Do sit down.
73:02 How are you doing?
73:04 Doctor Gao said it wasn't serious.
73:09 I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it to happen.
73:12 Who said you did?
73:17 We sisters are friends.
73:19 Don't think about it.
73:23 It's funny. I should thank you.
73:26 If not for you...
73:29 ...the Master wouldn't have stayed with me.
73:34 Softer, Aunt Cao.
73:38 If you're alright, I'll be going.
73:40 I won't see you to the door.
74:11 Yan'er!
74:26 What is it, Fourth Mistress?
74:28 Where were you?
74:34 Come massage my feet.
74:36 I don't know how.
74:42 You do as I say.
75:18 I said softer.
75:21 I said I didn't know how.
75:23 If you're able, get Aunt Cao to come.
75:41 Leave it!
75:47 "If I'm able"... You just wait and see what I can do!
76:08 She's really pregnant?
76:09 Yes,
76:11 Fourth Mistress hasn't been looking well lately.
76:14 Congratulations, Master. You'll have another son.
76:19 According to custom, from today...
76:23 ...the lanterns in this house...
76:25 ...will be lit day and night.
76:27 Yes, day and night. As a symbol of longevity.
76:33 Go light the lanterns!
77:31 Fourth Mistress, drink this lotus seed soup.
77:47 Aunt Cao,
77:50 someone said I couldn't get you to serve me.
77:54 Who said this about our Fourth Mistress?
77:58 You're very precious to us now.
78:01 Call me anytime and I'll come.
78:27 First Mistress, I'm bringing the Fourth Mistress her food.
78:46 Big sister,
78:47 did you do this when you were pregnant with master Feipu?
78:55 Why don't you eat?
79:00 Third sister is truly a singer.
79:03 Even her laughter sounds like music.
79:07 But that's nothing.
79:09 If fourth sister has a son...
79:13 ...someone will be very unhappy.
79:23 All of this food can't shut both of you up!
79:29 Master asks the Second Mistress...
79:31 ...to go to the fourth house after lunch.
79:35 Why?
79:36 The Fourth Mistress isn't feeling well.
79:39 Master wants you to give her a back massage.
79:44 She knows I can massage?
79:49 Of course the master told her.
79:59 It's the Master's idea?
80:01 It's his order.
80:03 Second sister, you must go.
80:07 Show us how you take good care of the Master.
80:13 If fourth sister feels better,
80:15 won't the Master be pleased?
80:36 Feeling better?
80:42 Much better.
80:44 Softer, second sister.
80:51 Right, just like this.
81:26 It can't be! Are you sure it's blood?
81:31 It looks like it.
81:44 Yan'er!
81:52 Yes, Fourth Mistress.
81:58 What are you up to?
82:05 Have you seen my white pants?
82:07 I washed them.
82:10 Washed them?
82:16 "How happily they dance and sing in the sky!"
82:20 "Lush are the mountain flowers and the trees high and low!"
82:24 "Locked in a golden cage I pine away."
82:28 "Let me return to the forest to sing my carefree songs!"
82:37 Good, the next poem.
82:39 "The moon goes down, crows cry under the frosty sky."
82:43 "Dimly lit fishing boats beneath maples sadly lie."
82:51 "Beyond the Gusu walls the Temple of Cold Hill."
82:54 "Ringing bells reach my boat, breaking the midnight still."
82:58 Well done!
83:00 Master, the Second Mistress wishes to see you.
83:04 Master.
83:06 Fourth sister seems very tired lately.
83:12 When I was pregnant...
83:14 ...I nearly had a miscarriage and didn't even know it.
83:17 You should ask Doctor Gao to come.
83:20 Thank you for reminding me.
83:26 Tomorrow, ask Doctor Gao to visit the Fourth Mistress.
83:31 Yes, Master.
83:34 Doctor Gao has finished?
83:37 Finished.
83:38 Thank you, doctor.
83:39 Where is the Master? I must speak to him.
83:42 Please follow me.
83:47 Doctor Gao...
83:50 ...you're here.
83:51 Third Mistress,
83:54 are you better after taking my medicine?
83:57 Much better. Only I can't sleep at night.
84:06 When I've time, I'll change the prescription.
84:08 Fine.
84:11 How is fourth sister?
84:14 I can't explain now. I'll tell you later.
84:22 Doctor Gao!
84:24 Second Mistress!
84:26 How is fourth sister? Not serious, is it?
84:29 I've got to see the master first.
84:38 Sorry for troubling you, doctor.
84:40 Not at all.
84:46 Please have some tea.
84:52 How is fourth sister?
84:58 I don't know if I should be frank.
85:03 Go, leave us alone.
85:23 Is anything wrong with Songlian?
85:30 Master, the Fourth Mistress isn't pregnant.
85:35 What? Is it true?
85:38 I checked carefully.
85:40 She isn't pregnant.
85:46 You're trying to cheat me?
85:51 Tell me, why did you lie?
86:01 Don't you know we've rules in this family?
86:03 Rules we've been following...
86:07 ...for many generations!
86:11 How dare you!
86:15 - Cover the lanterns! - What did you say, Master?
86:31 Cover the lanterns!
87:45 Yan'er...
87:49 Why did Doctor Gao come all of a sudden?
87:55 Where are my white pants?
87:58 I'll fetch them.
88:34 A servant secretly lighting lanterns in her room!
88:38 Who let you put lanterns here?
88:41 Who do you think you are?
88:43 Have you no respect for the mistresses?
88:46 Does this family have rules or not?
88:48 Stop making a scene!
88:51 Don't act like one of the servants.
88:53 No, this is one of your rules.
88:57 Rules are rules,
89:02 but everyone can make mistakes.
89:07 Let me remind you that they've just covered your lanterns.
89:12 But I am still a mistress.
89:15 Mistresses are mistresses! Maids are maids!
89:23 Big sister, the Master is away...
89:26 ...In front of everyone here...
89:30 ...you be the judge.
89:32 I broke a rule and they covered my lanterns.
89:35 What happens if a servant breaks the rule?
89:45 Follow the old custom!
90:18 The First Mistress said...
90:19 ...you could get up if you apologized.
90:27 Why do this?
91:04 Have her drink this hot ginger tea.
91:06 It'll make her sweat.
91:07 Has the doctor come?
91:09 He came several times but she isn't improving.
91:14 The Master's back.
91:16 Said to send her to the hospital.
91:19 Who could tell the Fourth Mistress would be so vicious?
91:22 Yan'er shouldn't have made her angry.
91:33 - Housekeeper. - Yes, Master.
91:35 Get her good medicine. Never mind the money.
91:38 Or people will say we let our servant die.
91:41 Yes, Master.
92:27 Light the lanterns at the second house!
94:15 Fourth sister, what are you doing here so early?
94:20 I've come to listen to third sister sing.
94:24 You sing so well.
94:27 Good or bad, it's all playacting.
94:34 If you play well, you fool the others.
94:37 If you play badly, you can only fool yourself.
94:40 If you can't even fool yourself,
94:42 you can fool the ghosts.
94:46 People breathe, ghosts cannot. That's the only difference.
94:49 People are ghosts, and ghosts are people.
94:54 Don't mind me for saying this...
94:59 ...but you shouldn't have made such a fuss about Yan'er.
95:01 She's only dreaming of becoming a mistress.
95:07 She's only scapegoat. I was after someone else.
95:13 Yes, she's only a maid.
95:17 Someone is behind her.
95:20 Look how pleased Zhuoyun was last night.
95:24 She thinks she's so smart. I'll take care of her soon!
95:31 Light the lanterns, blow out the lanterns, cover the lanterns.
95:35 What do I care?
95:38 What do people amount to in this house?
95:44 They're like dogs, cats or rats.
95:49 But certainly not people.
95:52 Isn't it better to hang yourself in that room?
95:58 Don't talk about dying.
96:02 Why think about what people are like? Just go on living.
96:12 Don't be so unhappy.
96:15 Look at me. I always keep myself amused.
96:21 Of course you're happy.
96:24 You've got Doctor Gao.
96:31 What do you mean by that?
96:34 Nothing.
96:36 I should thank him for coming to see me.
96:41 Don't joke about this.
96:45 If you tell anyone,
96:49 you'll have me to deal with.
96:53 To be honest, I'm meeting him soon.
96:57 What can they do to me?
97:13 Fourth Mistress...
97:22 You frightened me.
97:25 I thought nobody was here.
97:31 Master said I'd be your maid from now on.
97:39 I may be old, but I'm experienced.
97:46 Not like those young girls.
97:48 Get me some wine.
97:51 What? I didn't hear you.
97:55 Bring me some wine. Today's my birthday.
98:00 Your birthday?
98:03 How old are you?
98:05 Twenty.
98:06 Why didn't you say so earlier?
98:10 I'll get the wine.
98:15 The wine is here.
98:31 Why are you looking at me that way?
98:33 Yan'er is dead.
98:40 She died in the hospital.
98:48 When?
98:49 I don't know.
98:52 They said she died calling your name.
98:59 Why? Did she think I killed her?
99:05 I'm only repeating what they said.
99:09 She can't blame you. It's her destiny.
99:15 Where is she now?
99:19 Her family took the body back to the village.
99:24 They were all crying. It was very sad.
99:44 Why cry?
99:47 It's better dead than alive and suffering.
99:51 She's lucky to have died.
99:54 Fourth Mistress, stop drinking! You're drunk!
99:58 I'm happy today. It's my birthday.
100:03 My twentieth birthday.
100:09 Young master, you're back?
100:11 Please talk to the Fourth Mistress.
100:14 She's drunk!
100:18 You're back, young master.
100:21 Why are you drinking?
100:24 Sit down.
100:29 I'm celebrating my birthday.
100:34 Have a drink. Congratulate me.
100:45 Alright, I'll have some.
100:50 May you live to be 99.
100:54 Nonsense! I don't want to live that long.
101:00 Save such wishes for your father.
101:08 I heard what happened.
101:11 You're so foolish.
101:14 How long could you lie about being pregnant?
101:19 Foolish? I'm not foolish.
101:24 I had it planned. At first it was a lie.
101:29 But if the Master stayed with me,
101:33 soon it would be true.
101:38 I was planning this, but they were plotting against me.
101:43 Everyone is plotting against each other.
101:49 What is the meaning of all this?
101:56 This is from Yunnan.
101:58 Take it as your birthday gift.
102:07 Only women give this to men.
102:12 Not the other way around.
102:17 Don't want it? Never mind. Someone gave it to me.
102:21 Hypocrite! Which woman gave it to you?
102:32 If I take it, won't my hands be soiled?
102:38 I was just fooling. Wasn't really going to let you have it.
102:43 Fooling? I'm used to being fooled.
102:49 Everyone is fooling me.
102:54 And now you?
103:00 Get out! Get out of here!
103:09 Feipu!
103:21 I'm going.
103:51 Master! Master!
103:55 Fourth Mistress, please stop!
103:56 Why is she drinking?
103:59 She wants to drink.
104:01 Ask the first Mistress for medicine to sober her up!
104:03 Don't go to that old witch!
104:10 See how crazy you look!
104:12 People will laugh!
104:14 What is there to laugh at?
104:19 The Master likes you.
104:21 Meishan has gone to meet her good-looking doctor.
104:24 What do I have? I've nothing! Nothing!
104:29 Where is Meishan?
104:33 She's meeting the good-looking doctor.
104:36 What do I have? Nothing!
104:41 When did the Third Mistress go out?
104:43 I don't know.
104:46 What am I afraid of? Nothing!
104:56 Big sister!
104:58 The medicine is here. Make her drink it.
105:01 I won't! I'm not drunk!
105:03 Don't just stand there!
105:05 Hold that crazy woman!
105:07 Hold her down! Quick!
105:15 Get out!
105:23 Let her scream! Let her make a fool of herself!
105:27 The Master's away and she's turned the house upside down!
107:13 Fourth sister, are you sober now?
107:18 I'm glad you told me yesterday.
107:21 Or there would be such a scandal!
107:25 It's cold here. Go back to your room.
107:36 What happened?
107:39 The Third Mistress and Doctor Gao were in a hotel in town.
107:47 When the Second Mistress had the door opened...
107:50 ...they were still in bed.
107:53 Such sin!
107:55 Did the Second Mistress say I told her?
108:01 You told her when you were drunk yesterday.
108:08 I was so shocked.
108:13 I said it?
108:18 You did.
108:20 I wondered why you told her.
108:24 Is it that you hate the doctor?
108:27 You drank a lot yesterday. You can't remember.
108:36 What will happen to the Third sister?
108:39 They've gone to fetch the Master.
108:42 What must happen...will happen.
108:49 Go and rest. Or you'll catch cold.
108:54 Such heavy snow! Must be a bad year!
113:47 Murderers!
113:58 Murderers!
114:25 The Master is here.
114:28 - Master - Master
114:30 The Master is back.
114:43 What did you see?
114:51 Meishan is dead. You murderers!
114:54 Nonsense! What did you see?
115:00 You didn't see a thing!
115:02 Murderers! You murderers!
115:05 You're mad! You're gone mad!
115:11 Murderers...You murderers!
115:32 Housekeeper!
115:36 Housekeeper! The lanterns are lit!
115:41 What happened?
115:42 The lanterns in the third house are lit!
115:47 What...What?
115:48 Where?
115:48 It's haunted!
115:50 It's the Third Mistress' ghost!
116:46 The Third Mistress is singing!
117:10 It's haunted!
119:38 The housekeeper congratulates the Fifth Mistress on her wedding.
120:22 Who is that?
120:25 She was our Fourth Mistress. She has gone mad.
