Treasures Around episode 5 recap and spoilers

Episode 5 recap: Pei Pei decided to participate in the Jade Carving Competition.

Shan Shuang Shuang entered Su Jue's room alone, not expecting Su Jue to have returned, and thinking that Shan Shuang Shuang's entry angered him. However, Shan Shuang Shuang gave Su Jue a sedative, causing him to let his guard down. After Shan Shuang Shuang left, a servant informed Su Jue that smuggled goods had been taken out from the government authorities, but they had lost 5,000 taels of silver, so they hated Pei Pei even more and wanted to recoup their losses from him. Shan Dan Dan went to Pei Pei's room to deliver a meal, feeling a bit shy about the previous day's kiss since she thought Pei Pei was drunk, but Pei Pei told her he wasn't completely drunk, making Shan Dan Dan happy. Just as Shan Dan Dan was waiting for Pei Pei to continue confessing, Ah Liu came in and told them that there was trouble, with many creditors coming to demand payment.

Some investors in Qipei Pavilion heard rumors that it was going bankrupt, so they wanted to withdraw their investments, angering the Pei family, as they had a contract that hadn't expired yet. While the Pei family and shareholders were at an impasse, Shan Dan Dan hatched a plan, using her own savings to pay back the investors. To everyone's surprise, a maid was able to slowly withdraw an entire chest of silver, making the shareholders doubt the rumors, and they all left, further endearing Shan Dan Dan to the Pei family.

Pei Pei noticed and appreciated Shan Dan Dan's actions, realizing that the girl he once disliked was actually quite exceptional. Back in his room, all he could think about was Shan Dan Dan, and Shan Dan Dan was thinking the same about Pei Pei.

The next morning, when Shan Dan Dan went to deliver Pei Pei's meal, she noticed he had paid extra attention to his appearance, changing into a new outfit and inviting Ah Liu and Shan Dan Dan to dine with him. He also told Shan Dan Dan he would be participating in the Jade Carving Competition, exciting her greatly.

Because Pei Pei's wrist had been broken by his father, he had lost the courage to pick up his carving knife. Shan Dan Dan had been encouraging and training him to regain his strength and precision, and thanks to her efforts, Pei Pei had been making progress.

Su Jue personally carved a mandarin duck ornament, and just then a servant informed him that Pei Pei was also preparing for the Jade Carving Competition. Su Jue thought Pei Pei was a waste, so he decided to take Shan Shuang Shuang to see Pei Pei's embarrassment. On the way, Shan Shuang Shuang asked Su Jue about the missing phoenix crown, and Su Jue claimed it was the Pei family's fault, not his.

Pei Pei had been practicing sculpting for a long time, and unexpectedly made a lot of progress, which made Pei Qin and his family very happy. Just then, Aliu reported that Su Jue had come to visit, so Pei Pei took Shan Dandan to welcome him. Shan Dandan was very happy to see her sister, and the two chatted about family matters.

Although Su Jue and Pei Pei seemed to be getting along on the surface, they were actually enemies. Shan Shuangshuang gave the jade hairpin she had made to her sister. Pei Pei recognized at a glance that the craftsmanship was in the style of gold and silver inlaying, which surprised Shan Shuangshuang, as she didn't expect Pei Pei to recognize it. However, Pei Pei said it was similar to the technique used by Fenguan in the past, which made Shan Shuangshuang even more suspicious that the loss of Fenguan's crown was related to the Pei family. She then questioned Pei Pei about his competition technique, and was shocked to learn that it was a hollow history wire embroidery.

When Shan Shuangshuang returned, she lied to Su Jue that she wanted to go to the market to buy some high-end items, but in fact she wanted to sneak into the Pei family again to investigate the matter of Fenguan's crown. She discovered many technical drawings in the Pei family, as Pei Chufeng had already passed away, and Pei Pei was very young at the time, so she wondered why there were so many technical drawings, which should have been left as physical objects for Pei Pei to research.

Shan Dandan's friend Tan Qinghe came to see her, and she was very happy to see her old friend. Pei Pei, in order to deal with Su Jue, found a few girls to compete as jade beauties in the jade competition, and he also needed to find two girls to accompany him as jade beauties, but he didn't want to take Shan Dandan, fearing that she would be jealous.

Just as Pei Pei was about to go out, he saw Shan Dandan happily chatting with Tan Qinghe and got very angry. Shan Dandan introduced Tan Qinghe as a former boss and a famous painter, but Pei Pei, in order to make Shan Dandan jealous, told her that he was going to the Huaman Pavilion to find a girl, which made Shan Dandan very jealous. She learned that Tan Qinghe also had business at the Huaman Pavilion and wanted to go with him to find out what Pei Pei was going to do with the girl.

Although Pei Pei went to the Huaman Pavilion, he did not find the girl. At this time, Shan Dandan also arrived, and seeing Pei Pei selecting the Lingyuan girl, she felt very uncomfortable. She took out the portrait Tan Qinghe had given to Lingyuan and asked Pei Pei to evaluate it, whether the real Lingyuan or the portrait was more beautiful. Pei Pei casually said that the real Lingyuan was more beautiful, which made Lingyuan feel that the portrait needed to be modified to be as beautiful as the real person, and even surpass the Huaman Pavilion's Huatian girls. Pei Pei hurriedly left with Aliu.
