Mr Shu was a minor official of the granary at Taiyuanwei. That is a storehouse or warehouse to hold grain. Master Qin stepped out of Qin's Grain Shop to pick up the little girl. Qin seems to be behind Shu's gambling winnings, probably a bribe to look the other way as grain is removed from the warehouse. Qi Yanjin or his brother Tengzhou may be behind starting the fire to kill the parents and allow them to snatch the orphan Luo Shu. Eunuch Zhang seems behind this. Luo may actually be a hidden royalty. Or destined to marry one. The Shus may not be her actual parents.
Ep 26 - is so packed and ends with more mysteries….We have the festive lantern festival displaying all the beautiful…
Good points. Also remember during the mine episode, it was revealed that Eunuch Zhang was looking for a women. it must certainly be Jin Nang or her because of original identity as Luo Shu. The latter name would indicate a connection with her parent's death. ep. 14 at 18:47. And can't spend money when you are dead.
My presumption as she is a main character. I hope that Han will accept being friend zoned and Liu Wan and Luo Shu become friends and allies. My feeling is that because Eunuch Zhang had earlier had his men looking for Luo Shu in Linfen may mean that Luo Shu may be more important the revealed so far. Also Mr Qin talked about his 'wife' which probably means that he regards Luo Shu as his future but certain wife. Just my speculation.
I think that fire that killed Luo's parents and made her available as an orphan was connected to the ML's family. The real business that the Family did was dirty work for hire. If the ML's Family did it, maybe Luo will be unmarried at the end.
Under the Moonlight. They usually show a full moon even if the next scene is in the day. In ep. 23, they show a waxing crescent moon, that should be followed with a new moon, i.e. fully dark. Foreshadowing a dark period in her life?
I wonder if her background is as simple as we think.
There must be a connection between Master Qin's fascination with a young girl and Luo Shu. He must be behind sending her to Mengke House to become refined. Was she to be a pawn to be married off to a crown prince?
Ep. 23 The guy who recognizes Luo Shu as Yulan at the end is Master Qin. He came out of Qin Grain Shop to pick up the little girl. He also sent Mr. Li to invite her to spend New Years with him after she walked out of Mengke House. He is probably why Miaocui warned Luo Shu not to return to Taiyuan. In ep. 10, he is probably the boy with the young Luo Sho. First she grabs his hand but the next scene has him pushing her hand away. There seems to be a couple of years between the two scenes. This was the flashback when she was in the river and sinking. I suspect that Mr. Qin was the person behind the old man that tried to buy Jin Nans virginity. And he might be behind Eunuch Zhang's search for a particular woman as revealed at the mine. If so, he has been obsessed for quite a while and has powerful backers.
She came from ordinary background. As an orphan, she was made a slave into a rich family. Could she have been sold to Mengke House because of the guy she met at the end of. ep. 23? To split them apart? He didn't look at her as a past crush, though. That locket with the sliding opening suggest a cage. He gives off very bad vibes with the little girl. As it stands, she won't choose to marry into Qi's Family. His older brother is also creepy. But his servants are like sisters.
The immature main lead tag is keeping me from this drama... is he that bad?
Ep. 23. Watch how his female servants treat him. One can gain an insight into his character by how he treats his servants. They love him and don't fear him. He, more than any other character, shows the most growth.
The guy who took in the little girl was creepy as heck. He knows Luo Shu as Yulan. And she recognized him. Did they know each other from her first adopted family? The one that sold her off? His servant didn't look at them nicely either.
You can tell a character by how he treats those under him. When he arrived home and the women servants offered tea, and Lian Shu asked for tea also, he ordered three. The women servants love him and are not afraid. The drinking party looked like between friends.
Why they decided to make the ML the court jester is beyond me. I like slight comedy in my historical dramas but…
How far have you watched? He is quick at observing and reading the room. Luo will pose something and he will come up with a solution. He is less silly from ep. 15 on.
My feeling is that because Eunuch Zhang had earlier had his men looking for Luo Shu in Linfen may mean that Luo Shu may be more important the revealed so far. Also Mr Qin talked about his 'wife' which probably means that he regards Luo Shu as his future but certain wife. Just my speculation.
