how you got here in the first place?
Of course I have not forgotten
I have the utmost respect for your father
I have the utmost respect for your father
And I treat you well since then.
That would make me your half uncle, no?
Right, uncle
Good boy
Did you like
the birthday present I bought you?
Oh yes, the briefcase is very useful
The land where your office is located
on was also a gift from my family
Please, can we not talk about this here?
It doesn't make me look good as the Mayor
Fine, I didn't come here
to pick on you anyways
Let me asking you about something
this town better than me
The guy that owns the restaurant
What's his background?
You mean Moustache Man? He's nobody!
Just some guy
who made some money from selling horses
His wife is purchased,
they don't even love each other
I don't care how his marriage is doing
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
That's a very long story
Once upon a time, three years ago...
on a dark and windy night
The old couple who lives in the
Tang house suddenly died
This little girl became an orphan
So the Moustache Man adopted her
claims he'd raise her
as a child bride for his son
You're so full of crap
You shouldn't make up stories like this
just because you are no match to him
What do you mean by that?
Look at my stylish hair...
You are no match at all
Who still wears fur these days?
You dress like a rich jerk
I dress like a rich jerk?
Lord Xu, you look so handsome today
Really? No rent will be charged for the day
Thank you, Lord Xu. You are a good man
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Go back, retreat!
Go back, retreat!
My dear Xin!
Mayor Gu, are you all right?
I'm fine...
Just a little wet
I mean, something's on my mind
Something smells here...
Yeah
peeing all over the place
I'll check into this tomorrow
Let's go over there
Gosh, the smell's gotten stronger
Uhm...
After you then
Darn, couldn't hold it
So, where's the book you promised me?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
Here you go...
Mayor Gu, you must behave
I'm a married woman
You worried about
the Moustache Man you're married to?
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
Unlike myself, I look weak in appearance
but I am truly a strong man...
Xin, look over there
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
Oh, the butterflies have gone to sleep...
Mayor Gu
What are you talking about?
I see no flowers
I beg to differ! There's an old saying...
When you wish for something,
your dreams will come true
When you don't want something,
you end up getting more!
Mayor Gu, what in the world
are you trying to do?
You leave me with no choice
See
What do you think?
I drew these for you at work today
One flower, la-la-la...
Two flowers, tra-la-la...
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, ta-la-la...
There's a ghost!
Changgong...
Moustache Man!
This area is desolated
and he has the heart to draw flowers for me
Lord Xu, you look cheerful today
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
Of course, naturally
I'll handle those three, don't worry about it
You're in my way...
Darn, we're done here, buzz off!
What a coincidence!
You still have the nerve to show up?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
We're not open today
That's fine, too! No work for the day
It's good to come out for the fresh air
Mayor Gu, looking to get
a Jackie Tang outfit?
Whoa, what's that? It smells horrible!
This is French perfume
It's made from flowers extracts
Smell it
Go away...
Hey, watch it! Don't you know who I am?
I brought this back from
the city specially for you
My father told me to study hard
So that I can gain more knowledge
But I think the best way to learn is to travel
and truly experience
How about we go to the
Imperial City together sometime?
No
That's fine, it's too far anyways.
How about the countryside?
We can pick flowers during the sunny day
Admire the stars under
It'd be a wonderful trip!
Not interested
What's wrong with you today?
Business has been slow
Nobody's coming to dine at our restaurant
Even passing by tourists are becoming rare
All the food are becoming overcooked
And the fish is going bad
How are we gonna survive?
Well then... how about
I don't take rent from you?
I never intended to pay you anyways
I never intended to pay you anyways
Let me take care of you then
You think you can do
anything because you're rich?
You think money can buy you everything
What's the big deal
Thank you for coming
Are you talking to me?
Fortune teller
I thought you were blind?
Can you see me?
Whoever told you I was blind?
I just didn't open my eyes
Young lady...
Your eyes are watery,
and your cheeks are pink
It's a sign that true love is near
True love?
Lord Xu...
Your forehead is shining bright
also a sign that love is near
Hey, what are you two playing at?
Nothing!
Stop denying!
You think you can have everything
Just because you got money?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
There was sand in my eyes
The sand got in my eyes
This outfit is perfect
But I need to appear to be more forceful
How about you guys do an act with me
to demonstrate my great kung-fu skills
Interested?
You can count on me
So, about the rent...
I'll handle it
You guys are about to go out of business
and you still owe Lord Xu rent
How dare you come to wine and dine here?
This is too infuriating
Scumbag!
What great skill!
Drunken Fist!
Bottoms up...
One more!
Dangerous.
Done.
Amazing!
I've got something even more powerful
Deadly Sound Wave
Huh? I don't recall talking about this
Deadly Sound Wave
Darn, he's improvising!
Please spare me!
That was awesome
Deadly Sound Wave!
Please spare me!
Unbelievable...
What are you doing here?
Oh, how did it break?
We're leaving now...
Simply irresistible
Let's go!
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
Move!
What are you laughing at?
Is this funny?
When I saw you with Gu Yuejin earlier on
