Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。1980年代，某农村。新媳妇还未过门，何母（丁玲玲 饰）先与儿媳贾月珍（钱吟梅 饰）闹起了别扭，原因就是娶亲时按旧习俗办还是喜事新办。儿子何一民（高仲欣 饰）成了风箱里的老鼠，两头受气，即不敢得罪老母，又不敢得罪媳妇。新媳妇敏敏（陆磊 饰）一进门，奶奶辈的何母赶紧送上红包，而贾月珍想送红包给儿媳妇，却发现钱不见了，只好拿存折代替。对于贾月珍丢了钱乱猜疑，何母很是生气。敏敏路遇负气离家的何母，她找来何一民，请他做婆媳的工作，何一民采用偷梁换柱的方法化解矛盾，无奈弄巧成拙。最后，贾月珍在学生作业本里发现了那“丢失”的钱......。
