Joy of Life Episode 6 Recap
> Joy of Life Recap
Ye Ling'er stopped Fan Ruoruo, wanting Fan Xian to come out and meet with Lin Wan'er. Ruoruo was anxious internally, but her face remained calm. She tried to refuse, using Fan Xian's poor health as an excuse. Lin Wan'er also came forward at this time to invite Fan Xian out of the carriage.
Fortunately, at this moment, Fan Sizhe had a sudden inspiration and lied that it was inconvenient because he had brought a singing girl in the carriage after drinking. Ye Ling'er was quite angered by Fan Sizhe's rogue appearance, and Lin Wan'er was so angry she almost coughed up blood. Ye Ling'er, worried about Lin Wan'er's health, had to take her away first. Fan Xian was unaware of everything happening on that side.
He leisurely walked into the Investigator's Office holding a sugar-coated hawthorn skewer. Who knew that upon arriving at the Investigator's Office, people were coming and going, but no one paid attention to Fan Xian. He had no choice but to take out his waist token and shout, which attracted a few messengers. After an inspection, one of the messengers took him to look for the document file. What a coincidence, as the two walked along, they encountered Wang Qinian again.
It turned out he was also a scribe at the Investigator's Office. When Wang Qinian learned that he was a director of the Investigator's Office, he suddenly knelt down, wept profusely, recounting his tragic experiences, and stated that his previous actions were all for his seriously ill wife and daughter at home.
Fan Xian saw him crying and was halfway believing him when a guard suddenly pushed the door open and said he had just met his wife, who reminded him to buy some vegetables on the way home tonight. Wang Qinian did not expect his lie to be so easily exposed and could only look awkwardly at Fan Xian, feeling helpless. Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh and cry at the sight.
Seeing Wang Qinian's love for wealth, he found him somewhat kindred spirits with Fan Sizhe and decided not to pursue the matter. He only instructed him not to trade in "Red Mansions" anymore and asked him to help him find the document file that Teng Zijing had requested.
Wang Qinian promised to deliver the document to the Fan manor the next day and also told him that the person who had previously falsely transmitted the order was dead, and that person's name was Xu Yunzhang. After finishing his business, Fan Xian went to see the stone tablet left by his mother. It recorded Ye Qingmei's beautiful aspirations for the world.
She hoped that one day everyone would be equal, free from the oppression of power, and live with dignity. Only after seeing the words she left did Fan Xian understand the reason for Ye Qingmei's death. However, he did not want to inherit her dying wish or her ambition, nor was he willing to fight against the world alone. Instead, he wanted to be an ordinary person.
Eunuch Hou told Emperor Qing about Fan Xian going to the Investigator's Office to retrieve the document file. Emperor Qing already knew that Teng Zijing was not dead; he didn't care about this little deception. Instead, he was more concerned about how many fish Fan Xian, as bait, could catch.
When Prime Minister Lin learned about Fan Xian beating Guo Baokun's servant in the street, he used the opportunity to come and see Emperor Qing, wanting to dissolve Lin Wan'er's engagement. Emperor Qing knew his purpose and deliberately had Eunuch Hou make the brazier in the hall burn brightly. Prime Minister Lin subtly expressed that Lin Wan'er's engagement was decided by Emperor Qing and that he believed Emperor Qing would not be mistaken about the person.
After saying this, he took his leave. On the other side, the Crown Prince told Guo Baokun that this poetry gathering was a good opportunity to frame Fan Xian. Fan Xian was born in the remote Danzhou and had no one to teach him from a young age, so he would certainly not be able to write good poems. As long as his reputation was ruined, Prime Minister Lin would naturally not agree to this marriage.
After Fan Xian returned to the manor, he saw Ruoruo waiting for him inside. He told Ruoruo that the reason he agreed to attend the poetry gathering was because he wanted to find the person he liked. When Ruoruo heard the romantic story between him and the chicken leg girl, she became determined to help her brother find his beloved. Fan Xian also fantasized that it would be great if the chicken leg girl was Lin Wan'er.
Ruoruo, however, thought it was impossible because Lin Wan'er had been sickly since childhood and was forbidden to eat greasy and strong-flavored food. Fan Xian also felt this possibility was very small. Seeing Ruoruo's envious look, he solemnly promised to help her marry the person she liked in the future as well. After chatting for a long time, Ruoruo finally remembered the main business.
She told Fan Xian that Teng Zijing had been detained by their father as soon as he returned to the manor, and Fan Sizhe was also punished by kneeling outside the study door. Because Lord Fan suspected that Fan Sizhe had colluded with the Crown Prince to set a trap to frame Fan Xian. Upon hearing this, Fan Xian immediately went to the study to find his father.
He believed that Fan Sizhe was not such a calculating person and that Fan Jian was too harsh on him and had a prejudice in his heart. Fan Jian admitted that it was because Fan Sizhe was neither scholarly nor skilled in martial arts, and had disappointed him repeatedly. Fan Xian further stated that Fan Sizhe had no bad habits, and his love for accumulating wealth was actually due to his admiration for his father.
Previously at the restaurant, when Fan Sizhe heard Guo Baokun insult Lord Fan, he immediately rushed forward to fight him, which showed his deep respect for his father. His father should not be so unfair to him. These words were all heard by the Second Madam, who was eavesdropping outside the study door. She did not expect Fan Xian would actually speak up for Fan Sizhe. Fan Jian was quite touched by these words.
He went out and told Fan Sizhe to get up. Fan Sizhe was already used to being punished by his father and had no complaints in his heart. Seeing this, Fan Jian offered to grant Fan Sizhe one request. Fan Sizhe was very surprised to hear this, and the Second Madam was feeling very relieved. Who knew that this unlucky child would actually ask his father to play Pai Gow with him? It was truly infuriating and amusing at the same time.
