Episode 9 - Jiu Sin Falls in Love with Dai Ngau Go(1)

The mysterious person was the Sword Saint of Chai Mak Gam Ji (2), Chou Chau Dou.  He wanted to know the whereabouts so the Gam Ji Ling (3) but Siu Lung acted stupid and confused.

Sin Yau received the orders from the Ju Gung (4) to take the Gam Ji Ling from Siu Lung and felt uneasy.

Jiu Muk was distressed that he was unsuccessful in 'buying' (5) Siu Lung.  Jiu Nga suggested that the way to move someone was to use feelings (6).  Jiu Muk started to feel suspicious about her.

While Siu Lung was teaching kung fu to Jiu Pun, he never forgot to say good things for Jiu Nga.  He told Jiu Pun that she loved him very much.

Siu Lung helped change Jiu Sin's name to Siu Tou (7) and called himself Dai Ngau (1).  She started to like him from his excellent discussions and open personality.

Siu Lung and Jiu Nga used a bamboo raft to roam the lake.  Jiu Nga comments that she doesn't know where Ju Gei and her son are at and persuades Siu Lung to leave Hon Dan.  Siu Lung instead persuades her to leave Jiu Muk.

Siu Lung made an "evening visit" to Jiu Muk's mansion.  He was saved from discovery by Jiu Muk by a woman who he didn't know was Ju Gei.

Ting Fong followed Lin Jun but was discovered by him.  She went with him to say that Jiu Nga was a *****.  Jiu Pun refused and was brutally beaten until he became unconscious.  Jiu Nga took care of him and was explaining her reasons for doing what she did in front of his bed.  The half-awake Jiu Pun heard them and was greatly moved.

Siu Lung found out that Jiu Sin had return to the palace in a few days and secretly took her to the marketplace.  Jiu Sin had her horizons broadened (8).  He saw that she was still depressed and suggested that he help her pay the fees for her release (9).  Jiu Sin was moved.  Siu Lung tells her the story of Cinderella and gives her a pair of embroidered slippers.  Jiu Sin feels that she's in love.  Jiu Nga reminds  her that she's getting married soon and shouldn't be too close to Dai Ngau.  Jiu Sin feels depressed.

Notes for Episode 9

1. Dai Ngau Go literally means 'Brother Big Ox'.  Since its' a new, I didn't translate it in the summary.

2. Chai Mak Gam Ji- I'm not really sure of what this is supposed to stand for/or a good translation.  It's just probably a title for Chou Chau Dou.  How I hate when they add such 'esteemed peerages'.

3. Gam Ji Ling- This is more than likely an important plate that can give orders in a certain clan......... wish I had the novel with me to confirm it.

4. Ju Gung- there's no exact translation for this term, but I can guess it could mean something like 'master'.

5. Ok, it's not literally buying.  It's more like using money to get Siu Lung to help Jiu Muk and his 'evil' plots.  But since it involves money, the characters for 'buying' were used in the original summary in Chinese.

6. I believe this to be a 'flowery saying'.  I only wrote out the literal meaning, but another way of phrasing it is 'persuasion'.

7. Siu Tou is 'little rabbit'.  Another name, so another one I didn't translate in the summary.  Hehehe, is it me or does it sound like Siu Lung has the idea that a man is strong (ox) and a woman is weak (bunny)?

8. Since Jiu Sin is a princess, she has never left the safety of the palace to see how the 'common' people live.  So 'broadening her horizons' mean that she learns that there are people who live differently than her.

9.  I don't know how he got this idea, but it seems Siu Lung thinks that Jiu Sin (the princess) is a maid.  I'm guessing he thinks that maids are like indentured servants who have to work to earn their freedom.  That's why he's suggesting the he pay for HER freedom.
