|
|
|
Ting
Fong sees Siu Lung and Jiu Nga appear together in the marketplace. She
goes to get some drinks to help ease her worries. Lin Jun sees that
while drunk, she still calls for Siu Lung and he gets jealous.
Siu
Lung finds out that Lin Jun has taken Ting Fong to a tavern and breaks
the door to the room. He angrily sees Lin Jun trying to take advantage
of Ting Fong.
She
loses her footing and falls into the river, while looking embarrassed
and angry. Siu Lung uses artificial respiration to save her. When she
wakes up, Ting Fong scolds him.
Lin
Jun goes to Ying Yuen to propose marriage to Ting Fong and stated that
he was willing to leave Jiu Muk. Ying Yuen asks Ting Fong for her
opinion and she refuses(1), thinking it was Siu Lung who was proposing.
Lin Jun, his proposal refused, said that he'll prove his sincerity
through his actions. Ying Yuen didn't completely believe him.
He
saw the flowery lines of a map on the jade white ring from Ju Gei and
felt happy. Lin Jun wanted Ying Yuen to give Ju Gei a personally written
secret letter.
The
king of the Jiu was very angry after reading the letter and asked Ying
Yuen about it. He and Siu Lung echoed each other(2) to escape blame and
Jiu Muk became very vexed.
Ting
Fong discovered that Jiu Sin had a secret love interest. She also
accidentally overheard the Jiu king and Jiu Muk talking about obtaining
the craftsman Lou Ban's "Lou Gung Bei Luk(3)" and sacrificing
Jiu Sin's happiness to get it.
She
tries to persuade Jiu Sin to fight for her own happiness and agrees to
ask her love interest about his feelings. Ting Fong takes the
embroidered slippers to find 'Dai Ngau', knowing that Siu Lung was 'Dai
Ngau'. All the while, she felt like the clear sky had thunderbolts(4).
Jiu
Sin knew that she had to marry the dissolute and immoderate crown prince
of the Ngai state, so she tried to commit suicide. Ting Fong decided to
help her and Siu Lung so she told him that 'little rabbit' was going to
marry an old and ugly man who sold pork. Siu Lung said that he'll help
her escape from the palace. The
two entered the palace using the cover of importing horse excrements.
They secretly placed Jiu Sin inside a wooden barrel. Lin Jun suddenly
appeared in front of them when they had almost left the palace, causing
the two to have quite a scare.
Notes
for Episode 10
1.
The original summary used 'a flowery cliche' that sort of translates to
"wanting to refuse but welcomes". It means to do the opposite
of what you mean. In this case, Ting Fong wants to accept the proposal
(thinking it's from Siu Lung) but refuses so that he'll try harder to
win her heart.
2.
Well, the meaning here is that Siu Lung and Ying Yuen worked together to
create up a story to escape the blame from the Jiu king.
3.
Literal meaning : "The Secret Record of Lou Gung" 4. A lot of sayings, huh? Anyway, this one is used to show Ting Fong's sadness at knowing Jiu Sin likes the same man as she does. |
