Episode synopsis
JEW is very grateful to FUNG for not punishing her. FUNG and HING go to a temple to get some holy water for POK (YUEN SIU CHEUNG, LOUIS) and HIN, hoping they will be elected in the public exam. However, selfish POK drinks it all up and gets an upset stomach. YUNG (CHEUNG CHUNG KEI, RONALD) annoys FUNG because he only enjoys his life and does not work. JEW makes fun of SHING for being stupid and upsets MONA (SO YUK WAH, LOUISA). Later when JEW finds out that there is something wrong with SHING, she feels guilty and apologizes to him. She accidentally hurts HIN’s hand. He gives up revising for his exam because he knows he cannot write for a while. SHANG (CHOY TSE KIN) is like a brother to HIN, so he tries every way to help him. He is fooled by some cheats with some cheap medicine. JEW helps him to catch the cheats and gets his money back. She realizes how important the exam is to HIN, so she uses an old treatment to treat HIN’s hand.
About Colourful Life
The Ching family is an affluent family that produces textiles for the royal family, the govt officials and the army during the Tang Dynasty. Circumstances force the Ching's 4th son, Ching Chi Hin to marry Dun Ju, the daughter of a Tibetan general. However, their relationship is marred by misunderstandings and hatred for each other. The two remain in a loveless marriage, with Dun Ju wanting to return to Tibet and Chi Hin nicknaming her "stupid pig" because her name Dun Ju pronunciation sounds the same as "stupid pig" in Chinese. One day she runs into Luk Dung Jaun, a Tibetan govt official on the streets of the Tang capital. He tells her he is on a secret mission and asks for her help, promising that he will take her back to Tibet once they have finished their mission. Their mission is to find the long-lost illegitimate son of the Tibetan Emperor. The clues to finding this person is a gold butterfly pendant, a piece of jade and a birthmark on the person's chest.
