A Splendid Match Episode 10

Visiting other gma

This episode has JinZhao meeting her paternal gma. She made a favorable impression tho the granddaughter quickly teamed up with step sis to talk down to her. JinZhao is forced to take the eldest daughter position to rebut and admonish the gossiping girls about Liu family. There is one missing from the party and it turns out to be YeXian’s sister. She is late because he has invited himself to go along. JinZhao is far from happy with this development. The family goes to see an opera and YeXian manages to get himself seated by JinZhao. She finally has enough of his chatting and leaves to change. He finds her handkerchief and there is an argument over it. She claims it isn’t hers. There is a very cute exchange with a kitten and YeXian’s better side is revealed. At the embroidery session, JinZhao deliberately does a bad job because she doesn’t want to reveal the handkerchief is hers. She is mocked by the two girls and YeXian gives the handkerchief to step sis who shows it to everybody there. This backfires a bit when the older sis recognizes the handkerchief JinZhao and her brother fighting about. She later goes to her brother and tells him neither Gu girl is acceptable as bride material and tells his servant to pack his things. She is sending him home.The one good development is YeXian and JinZhao both learned about the invitation step sis swiped. JinZhao confronts her and agrees to let this slide, but to bear in mind she wasn’t the sort to return evil with kindness. 😝The new girl mocks JinZhao’s mom for being a merchant. JinZhao got the upper hand by telling her her hairpin was a fake. She even told her the test she could do on it to find out.😂🤣 While JinZhao is choosing gifts to send to Chen, her brother shows up and hints of blackmail about her bridge meeting with XuanQing. She counters with the 200 taels he wanted. There is a pawn slip but she doesn’t believe his story. She does learn he works for the gambling hall as a frontman. He entices young men to try their luck. Chen has received the gifts and his servant opens the boxes. The first is a set of binoculars which he liked. The second was a pair of glasses which he was not enthused with. Did JinZhao send them because he would look good with them on or because she considered him old and needing them? Guess we will find out next episode. 😂🤣 I completely missed the nod to his character in The Shadow’s Edge with the glasses. 😂😂 Had to come back and correct this. The changes they made to the sibling characters make this less fun to watch. I keep grumbling during their scenes. What happened to the brother that stood up for her and the sis that helped her sneak out of the house? I still like JinZhao’s character and want to see how things progress with Lord Chen, but I am a lot less enthused with the family machinations. They are tiring. 😝🙄 The palace politics are better than the Gu family interactions. If the nanny kills the mother, they better kill her off too.😡
