The Story of Ming Lan

Episode 32

[ Yuqing Monastery ]

Our doing this is not a good long-term plan.

When I went out today, I almost got recognized by a servant guarding the gates.

My knees wobbled from fright.

I was even unable to get up into the carriage!

Moreover, we're doing it in a temple, right under the eyes of deities and immortals.

I'm afraid.

It's not just you,

even I have to think of all kinds of excuses just to be able to leave the house.

If it's not some poetry meeting, it will be someone's birthday.

I even have to handle those friends of mine to help me cover up the lies.

This matter is more nerve-racking for me than for you.

How can it be the same?

If one day this matter gets found out,

you will just get scolded and laughed at for a few days.

While I... my whole life will be ruined.

What do you want me to do then?

Didn't we agree

that you'll go to your mother and ask to marry me?

Anyway, the one she likes is a lady from our house too. Marrying any of us is just the same.

You don't know

that since your Sixth Sister keeps giving excuses that she's sick,

my mother has already understood your family's intention.

Now she can't even bear to hear the word "Sheng".

A few days ago, a servant of mine accidentally said it and got a severe scolding.

If I go against her wish, she will surely scold me upon the mention of it.

You're not telling her then?

What about me?

I'm a daughter of a rich and reputable family. I've already given you everything

yet you're this irresponsible!

I had better just go kill myself!

Enough, enough already.

Don't be like this. If you act like this,

my heart feels like it's being cooked in oil.

Sheng...

- Father.
- Sheng...

You shameful thing! You've tainted the reputation of our Sheng family!

- Father!
- Servant!

- Father!
- Tie that wench up! Tie her up!

Father!

Quickly go and tie her up!

Father.

Darling Hong!

Darling Hong, Mo'er was just confused for a moment.

Forgive her this time.

If you want to hit anyone, just do it to me.

You're not confused.

First, you found out when the House of Count Yongchang

would go to the temple to pray, what route would they take and what time,

and then bribed people inside and outside to help you out.

You asked your maidservant to wear Molan's clothes numerous times, so that it would appear that someone is inside her room.

What great determination.

What a good method. You're really something!

You... all admitted it?

Mother!

Mother! Mother!

She fainted again. How come she's not had enough of thatt?

Father! All this was done by me.

My mother didn't know anything. It has nothing to do with her.

If you want hit or punish anyone, just do it to me.

Mother! Mother!

Fainting again?

Servant! Drag her out!

Wait.

She is indeed pretending.

- Darling Hong...
- Mother.

Darling Hong, w-we were left with no choice.

Seeing how Mo'er is getting older every year, but there are still no good marriage prospects.

Big Madam and Old Madam are not doing anything about it--

Damn you!

Let's not talk about Old Madam first. When did Big Madam say that she wouldn't take care of Molan's matter?

Even if she doesn't, aren't I still here?

I've repeatedly told you that I've already found a good choice.

Must she personally go out to look for a man!

No, no, no... During the jiju games at Jinming Pond,

it was that Young Master Liang who liked Mo'er first, and forced her...

Bullshit! You all shielded this and have no sense of shame, engaging yourselves in a reckless and low affair!

You still have the nerve to make excuses?

Don't say anything anymore,

so our ancestors won't hear it

and feel embarrassed because of you two!

Since Mo'er didn't know care for herself,

a thing that only brought shame to our family, it's better to just beat her to death!

- No, if you're going to beat her to death...
- Mother...

If you're going to beat her to death, you better kill me first!

She's your own flesh and blood.

Darling Hong... Darling Hong?

I-I've been your concubine for twenty years. I endured the humiliation and supercilious looks,

all for the sake of my sincere love for you, just spare her, okay?

- Darling Hong!
- Informing the Master, Young Master Changfeng is kneeling outside.

He said that he wants to beg for leniency for Mistress Lin and Fourth Miss.

Darling Hong... Darling Hong... Darling Hong, just--

Even if you don't want to give consideration to our past affection,

then for the sake of Feng'er,

if you really kill his biological little sister,

won't that harm your relationship with him?

All the mistakes were committed by Mo'er and I.

Feng'er has already changed his ways and has been focused on his studies for half a year.

It will be the exam soon. If anything bad happens at this time,

it will also affect the reputation of the House of Sheng, darling Hong!

If not because I gave consideration that your older brother will be taking the civil examination soon,

I would have caned you to death today!

I should have had you kneel for a lifetime last time!

Drag her out. Lock her inside the ancestral hall to kneel and repent.

If she faints, just let her be!

Whoever dares to beg for leniency will kneel with her!

Concubine Lin...

illw be locked up inside Linqi Pavilion and not allowed to go out by even a step. Send people to guard her.

Other people involved in this plan will be detained while awaiting their sentences!

Drag them all out of here!

The heavens have finally opened their eyes.

He finally had that mother and daughter suffer a setback.

And it's even a major setback that will give them no chance to redeem themselves.

Say, I should be imitating that bitch?

Cry myself lots of tears?

Cry until I'm unable to get up from my bed,

unable to eat, unable to handle the house matters!

Let's see if the Minister will still pity that bitch!

By doing it this way, letting Master handle that Concubine Lin,

Big Madam didn't end up with a harsh reputation.

Let's do it that way.

Oh, right. Go and call Rulan over.

I have to instructed her not to cause any trouble in front of her father.

Yes.

Hurry! Quick, warm me a pitcher of wine!

I'm so happy! So happy!

Informing Big Madam, Eldest Miss is back.

Okay. Okay. She's just in time.

Big Madam, you just went to the Yuan Manor a few days ago to attend a banquet

and Eldest Miss is now back at her maiden house. Won't the Countess nag about it?

My god! What ruckus is this all about?

Mother, this... Is the matter between Molan and Young Master Liang true?

Tell me!

How did you find out?

We had surrounded that place so tightly.

Everyone had signed a death contract, hence they surely wouldn't have leaked it out.

What do you mean, tight? The servants in the Yuan Manor are all talking about it!

They said that Molan slipped while at Yuqing Monastery

and got assisted up by the Sixth Young Master from the House of Count Yongchang.

The two of them were intimately embracing each other, so improper. They narrated it so vividly.

I fear that at this time, the whole of Bianjing already knows about it!

What? They were not gossiping about them having an affair?

What? An affair?

My god... oh my god...

If the whole of Bianjing knows that...

Mother, how can I still live?

- Big Madam! Big Madam!
- Mother! Mother!

- Big Madam!
- Come!

I wasn't strict in disciplining my children. I've brought trouble to my ancestors.

I also caused you to be sick from anger.

I'm fine. I just got so angry that it affected my heart.

I heard that Big Madam has been having fainting spells.

Rulan wanted to jump into the river one moment,

and the next moment wanted to charge into the ancestral hall and kill someone.

Hualan also came back home to cry.

When things have become like this, you now come to me to ask

if I have any ideas?

I was muddled.

You are an official.

You have always been very careful.

Politics is a very dangerous field,

but you were able to survive it.

However, Concubine Lin

was able to scheme on you so accurately.

This path that Molan is taking is what Lin Qinshuang took before, and she was successful in it.

I was young at that time.

Enough. The one who's young is my Minglan.

Yes.

I don't plan on going after your past,

but how many mistakes has she committed?

Every time she will flirt with you, pretend to be obedient, pretend to be muddled or miserable,

will cry or threaten to kill herself.

Every time, you will get soft. Lifting her up so highly and just lightly letting her off.

The matters before were just minor and she's just muddle-headed for the time.

A thousand li long dike is ruined by one ant-hole!

You need me to teach you that principle?

Mother, may your anger dissipate.

I don't care if I offend you. Let's get to the bottom of this today!

If it hadn't been for your siding with that Lin clanswoman each and every time these last twenty years,

spoiling her so much she doesn't know the sky's limit and she's daring and wild to her whims,

if it hadn't been so, this ugly matter wouldn't have happened!

Molan should have been a good child.

But she's learned from Lin Qinshuang to forget morality over gain, to lie, and for her own little benefit,

she can abandon the reputation of all the women in the Sheng House!

It might be better for Molan once she marries and leaves Lin Qinshuang's side.

But Changfeng is Sheng House's son. If he's taught badly,

that's not a matter of honor or reputation anymore.

Last year, he befriended Qiu House and spewed nonsense.

It caused you to be confined in the palace by His Majesty, and you already forgot it so soon?

Which mother is on night watch outside?

My chest is very painful. May you relay the message,

and hire a doctor for me to check it.

They still feed you in prison!

His Lordship only told you to confine me to the room, but he didn't list my crime.

Why in the world can I not get a doctor when I'm sick?

Mistress, spare us that. Hearing your vigorous voice,

you don't seem sick at all.

It was the Master's order to not mix words with you.

If you don't concede then once the Master is back,

go ahead and tattle to him about us.

Old hag! Wait until I get back up.

Watch how I tidy you up!

Now you're scared of me? Let me tell you.

In this Sheng House, no one had better try to...

Hong, don't look at me. Don't look.

A sick person is so ugly.

Stop pretending. Get on up.

I have something to ask you.

Do you wish to kneel and reply at the ancestral shrine in the middle of the night instead then?

Darling Hong. Forgive Mo'er already.

Mo'er is young. If you want to beat or punish,

let this mother take her place.

Forgive her? And then what?

Afterward, of course to propose marriage at Liang House and set a date for the wedding.

What?

Lord of Heaven...

Your daughter committed such a foolish affair and you want me to go and propose marriage for her?

Everyone's gossiping about it out there already.

If we don't propose marriage, then our entire family loses face.

Yes. My Mo'er wasn't proper.

But that Liang house can't be anything so great either!

Mo'er and that Young Master Liang only love each other, just like you and I!

You and I, dog shit!

How do you know this is already being talked about?

Even I, I only found out after Hua'er came home.

You've been confined here all this time, how did you know?

I . . .

So it was you who spread it. Is that right?

- Darling Hong--
- No wonder!

No wonder when I started to interrogate, you and Xueniang came in later than everyone else.

O-Others out there asked me and I could only make up a reason!

I said Mo'er tripped and Young Master Liang helped her up, and I didn't say anything else.

That way both of our families didn't lose too much face, and we have a step to get back down onto.

That's your real daughter! Is this how you wasted her?

How I wasted her?

Darling Hong, you keep saying you're going to get her a marriage prospect.

It's at best just selecting one of those poor scholars who need to take the Imperial exam!

Mo'er is concubine-born, so if we don't think of a way,

she might just be marrying into a poverty-stricken family and toil there bitterly for twenty-some years!

And if she happens to get a loser, her whole life is done with and I'm the one wasting her?

Who's actually wasting her?

You only know the glory of a count's manor.

You don't know the dangers inside.

Isn't Hualan a great example of that? And she's the legitimate daughter of our Sheng House at that!

That's because the Eldest Miss has no measures!

Mo'er told me.

She said that Young Master Liang only wanted to marry her.

As long as she brings over ample dowry,

then no one will look down on her!

How much dowry? How's that?

Who are those Liangs?

They are the top one or two wealthiest houses in Bianjing!

When Hua'er married, it was Big Madam that added to it.

Your farmland and shops, they were all given by me!

Bring them all and give them to her as dowry, but how much is that?

Darling Hong. Darling Hong.

Big Madam is the proper, legitimate mother.

Though Molan wasn't given birth by her, she needs to put in a share... and there's also Old Madam--

Shut that mouth!

You're a concubine.

You already live more lavishly than the legitimate wife!

You should know your place, and teach the children well.

But look at you. What has our Mo'er become?

What did you teach her?

What a great child and you've taught her to become..?

What did you teach her to become!

Now you're still brash enough to covetously look to Big Madam for dowry and the Old Madam?

Do you have any shame?

What did you say?

Darling Hong, you think I have no shame?

Back then I was chaste.

But during the times you and I were illicit and wanton in daytime.

when did you ever think about my sense of shame?

Now I'm only trying to be devoted to my daughter.

And now you blame me for being shameless?

To the eyes of a scholar like you,

what exactly is shame?

Shuang'er.

That's what you think?

What does darling Hong want me to think?

You said you were afraid of getting raided.

My heart aches each time I hear it.

I ache for you as a feeble woman, all alone with no one to go to.

Come now, and you say this?

Shuang'er. Let me ask you now.

If back then, if I were just a poor scholar without any money,

would you still say that?

I would.

As long as darling Hong wants to hear it,

I, Shuang'er, will say whatever you want.

You . . .
- What this?

What, so darling Hong is going to hit his Shuang'er?

Shuang'er. I have placed you in my heart for over twenty years.

What did you treat me as? What did you treat me as?

What did you treat me as!

Darling Hong, you have such a big heart.

Mo'er's matter is already so big.

And you've got the leisure to

reminiscent about the past with me?

It's fine if you hate me, and fine if you resent me.

Even if it's for Minglan and Rulan's reputations,

instead of chatting about this with me now,

go and propose marriage instead!

You're threatening me. You're threatening me!

I'm not threatening you. It's all for Sheng House's sake I'm thinking here!

Liang House is wiling to marry Mo'er.

It means they already had a marriage prospect long ago.

They are already engaged to marry.

So if they got a bit too close, it's no big deal!

Or else I'm afraid Minglan and Rulan,

both of those daughters won't be able to marry!

Forget the poor scholar even.

Even a wild man on the mountain might not marry a daughter from this kind of house!

Sheng House loses face and Changbai loses face.

If Changbai loses face,

his wife, that Hai clanswoman. Will she have any honor left?

I want your Wang House, Sheng House,

Hai clan, and even Old Madan's house... .

you all figure a way out for me!

Bitch!

Momo Kong once said this, "For a family,

together is their glory and together is their demise". If this marriage prospect for Molan can't be done,

we will all die together then!

Lord of Heaven...

Shameless.

Shameless.

Mother, at least have some porridge.

If you don't eat anything, your body can't bear it.

Can't bear it? Can't bear it?

I will take a knife then,

and kill that Lin clanswoman first and then myself.

I have no face to meet others anymore.

Gets this idea for her own daughter?

Seduce a man? And then go around to spread rumors?

She's set on pulling my Rulan to die with her, if she can't marry off her own daughter to a rich house!

Quieter, Mother.

You keep talking about dying and that's too ominous.

And Sixth Sister just persuaded Rulan to go with her.

Your crying will startle her and she's going to throw a ruckus.

So what if there's a ruckus?

This is all calamity planted by your father.

I can't take care of it anymore. Let him take care of it!

Mother, don't speak out of spite.

Husband and wife should go through calamity together.

Father must already know by now what Lin's true colors are.

In the future, he won't take her side and spoil her anymore. Trust me.

And this Rulan. She still has to marry.

In the future, she still needs to live well in her in-laws.

Hua'er.

- Tell me. Your mother-in-law reprimanded you again?
- It's nothing, nothing.

Tell me the truth or I will go to your in-law's and throw a ruckus now.

She just came up with an excuse that I didn't have a good post-partum.

So I need to rest.

And then she took Shi away.

I couldn't stop her.

That child, he's gone to someone else's room now.

Are they even reasonable?

No one thought,

no one thought yesterday,

those cruel nannies in the courtyard just left Shi to nap alone.

They all went to drink liquor and play. No one watched him.

That child is just starting to crawl.

He accidentally knocked over the smoke pan,

and the burning ashes all fell on him.

What?

Luckily my daughter misses her little brother.

So she will go see him every day, and she saw it.

She rushed to wipe away all the ashes and pulled the child out from the fire.

Shi is doing okay.

But my daughter's hands are all blistered and she can't touch anything.

Mother.

Mother, this life. When will it ever get better?

If this Molan matter can't be pacified,

in the future, you, Ru'er,

even Changbai too. None will be cleared.

That slut, Lin Qinshuang.

She calculated so perfectly. So fiercely.

Hua'er.

- I even admire her.
- Mother.

Tomorrow, I will go propose marriage at Liang House,

to calm this matter down.

A daughter like her comes out from Sheng House

and you, Big Madam, haven't even beat her to death yet.

Now you even came here to discuss marriage for her?

What a merciful heart you have.

She should be beaten to death actually.

But one hand doesn't make a loud clap by itself.

The Sixth Young Master of your house isn't without fault either.

We have been shamed, indeed.

But a hereditary noble one like your house will suffer shame and loss of reputation as well.

This is a matter of both families getting injured.

In that case, let's turn weapons into jade and silk instead.

If our two houses become in-laws,

then the idle talk will disappear like smoke and clouds.

In-laws?

A hereditary noble house like mine,

you are asking me to take which one from your house?

Yes. Molan's birth is a bit low indeed.

But you were fond of our Sixth Girl before too.

She's concubine-born too,

so it shows you're magnanimous and don't nitpick pettily.

I understand what you intend.

You're holding a pan with poop to beg me and that's not easy.

Then let me pour out what's on my mind too.

What I am fond of isn't who is legitimate or concubine-born.

It's Minglan's brightness and sanguine disposition.

Whether she's legitimate or concubine-born, I like her either way.

But your Fourth Miss is different.

What she's about? I have some ideas.

And you have some ideas too.

Yes. My Sixth Son acted like a criminal.

But I'll say something I shouldn't.

If it were Minglan, she would definitely not have committed such a lewd act.

You are wanting to exchange Minglan with Molan.

Isn't that slapping me in the face?

You just said it's not easy for me to bring this up.

Now for my children's sake, I am begging you with my head lowered and voice down.

It's because I'm out of options.

Wouldn't I know your difficult position?

This matter is like having swallowed a fly.

It's disgusting whether it's alive or dead.

Fine then. Since you've mentioned it, I am not inclined to deny you easily.

How about this? Let me propose a compromise and tell me what you think.

Big Madam Wu, may you go ahead and speak.

If Sheng House can marry both daughters over,

Minglan as the proper wife and Molan as concubine, then it's perfect on both sides.

It would fulfill my wish from before,

and it will resolve your urgent shame too. Isn't it a good idea?

[ Harmonious Wind Sweet Rain ]

Dream on!

That bitch caused this heaven-offending disaster

and that's your own retribution!

You two want my Minglan to go clean up your mess?

Just keep on dreaming!

Old Madam, don't get too angry. You're an elder.

It's not worth it to make yourself sick.

Minglan lost her Little Mother at such an age of eight! So scrawny like a kitten!

She almost died, and I brought her to my side and raised her until now.

I taught her to be versed in principles and books, and raised her like a flower.

It's not for you to just waste her at your will!

That Sixth Son Liang is a loafer worse than that Second Son Gu!

He's got someone pregnant, and they're in a fret to clean it up.

And they need to get a proper wife to put on display first!

That's why they were in a rush to ask for Minglan!

That Liang House. They want a Sheng daughter over to use as a spear!

Molan makes herself a slut and wants to go over and fight with a horde of women, and I don't care!

You want to push my Minglan into a fiery pit?

Over my dead body!

Molan, if she can't marry into Liang House,

then Rulan and Minglan's reputations are done too.

Don't try to scare me with that.

That Molan committed this ugly act that's so shameless,

and they go propagate it about to force us to help!

I say... just shove her out the door.

Whoever wants her can take her!

Or perhaps beat her to death with wild canes!

We can then get ourselves a reputation for being a strict family.

My Rulan and Minglan are still good girls!

You're already a prisoner.

What noble air are you trying to put on still?

So what if I'm a prisoner?

No matter what, I'm still Sheng House's Fourth Miss.

Father's flesh and blood.

Mother went to discuss marriage with Liang House.

Madam Wu. She won't take you.

She won't take me?

Then does Sheng House still care about its reputation?

Old Madam told us...

to beat you to death...

so that the Sheng House honor can still be preserved.

Beat me to death?

Two lives will be lost. Do you dare?

Don't pull any tricks on me.

Lin's slutty ways won't work.

Why would I lie about this?

Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me either,

bring a doctor here for me.

Take my pulse, and he'll know.

Do you have any shame left?

Shame?

Does shame feed you, or can you use it like silver?

This matter. If Liang House finds out, it's even more reason not to take you.

And Mother-in-law already made a trip.

She was turned back by Big Madam Wu.

We can't show up at Liang House again.

Even if we did, it wouldn't work.

But we still have Old Madam.

She's the daughter of Marquis of Yongyi.

Forget the Liangs. Even in the palace she has some say.

What is Old Madam's status?

You never tried to bring her joy or act filial toward her.

Now you've committed a heaven-ruining disaster, and you want her to be your sword and spear?

I had thought,

it was Lin that taught you to be bad.

But you were born this way.

You are...

greedier and more shameless than your mother.

Greedy? How so?

Greedy for wanting something that's not mine?

So? You married into a count's house and that's proper.

But if I marry into a count's manor, I'm being greedy?

Why is that?

Just because you and I came out from different mothers' bellies?

Eldest Sister. You are two-faced.

And you are suited to mention shame before me?

This is not a matter of legitimate or concubine birth.

Sixth Sister's birth is worse than yours, but Liang House only want her and they won't take you, no matter what!

Why? Have you ever thought about that?

Let's go.

Why are you dragging me? Someone like her!

It's useless even if you hit her.

She must be bluffing. You can't just get pregnant so easily!

- I must get a doctor.
- You mustn't.

If that doctor's mouth isn't tight and leaks a word or two out,

then we've ruined our two younger sisters!

What are you doing now?

Actually, it doesn't matter too much if it's real or not.

A man and a woman have had contact naked, and who will think on the better side?

You can never clear it no matter what.

We're being forced to a dead-end by someone like her? And my grandmother is implicated too!

Why doesn't God strike her dead with lightning!

I'm going to my mother.

That prostitute is that wild?

She is dead set on this, I don't dare to beat her to death then?

Molan, that girl, she's gone to the extreme with us now.

She knew I would succumb.

And I have to consent, even if I don't consent.

You needn't consent, Grandmother.

It's useless if you say no!

She's pushed us to a cliff!

If Grandmother has to cower over this vile matter, I would rather never marry.

Nonsense! How can a woman not marry?

These years, I've saved up some private money and there's no problem for living to my old age.

Second Brother is a good person, and Second Sister-in-law is also generous.

They won't kick me out!

I, Minglan, am willing to serve Grandmother forever.

Serve Grandmother until the very end.

After a hundred years, I could become a nun too!

At any rate, I can plan for myself.

This girl. What crazy talk is she saying?

How can a woman not marry? That's laughable to others.

So what if others laugh? As long as I don't care about it.

Stop this nonsense, child.
- When Molan caused this incident, your Second Brother said,

"this family should never tolerate an evildoer".

If . . .

If Minglan and Rulan really can't marry,

the siblings will still live in harmony forever here.

What is this nonsense you and your husband discussed?

Is this a place for you to talk?

You don't want to marry, but Rulan still needs to marry!

If Rulan doesn't marry?

Then what about Hualan at her in-law's?

Her mother-in-law always gives her a hard time, and it's not like you don't know that!

Shi got snatched by her mother-in-law.

Zhuang's hands were burned and injured saving her brother!

My Lord of Heaven... . Why are my days so bitter?

Lin Qinshuang. That witch.

When will she stop harming my children?

Mother... Mother

Stop crying!

My children's debt.

If I don't clear it, I can't die.

In that case,

I'll stake this old face out,

and make a trip to Liang House.

What? You came to spectate my fallen state too?

You all don't need to be jolly so soon.

I'm just confined for the time being .

Just who is higher and who is lower in the future,

that's not for sure.

Grandmother told me to come tell you that Liang House agreed.

Even heaven helps me

by not letting it be in vain, the painstaking plotting by Mother and I.

Sheng Rulan.

You are always talking about legitimacy day and night.

From now on, I'm going to be the main wife of a count's manor.

She will have to look up to me forever now.

Congratulations, Fourth Sister, to marry into a high house.

My mother said this.

Old mother wants to control the son.

If what the son wants is what the parents want,

then the son is said to be filial and obedient.

If they don't agree, then the son won't care about being filial.

He will only think for himself.

Father was like that and Sixth Liang is the same.

His mother always wanted that Sixth Girl.

In the end, she still has to be docile and welcome me in.

Liang House isn't some greatly blessed place.

Big Madam Wu is fierce and sharp.

Sixth Liang--
- Everyone must admire me so much.

I'm going there and I'll be the legitimate wife!

Who can fight with me?

Sister, you've reached high, and may you take care.

T/N In the following song, "Don't You Know, Don't You Know?", Lines 5 to the end are the poem by Li Qingzhao, a famous female poet of the Song Dynasty, the poem is titled "Spring Ends".

♫ One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree,
beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord ♫

♫ Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine,
the wind and rain do not affect them completely ♫

♫ In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin,
from on high, your cold tears of distress flow ♫

♫ Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,
not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫

♫ Last night, gusty winds and rain
during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect ♫

♫ When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up
and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before. ♫

♫ Don't you know, don't you know,
there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers? ♫

♫ Last night, gusty winds and rain
during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect♫

♫ When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up
and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before. ♫

♫ Don't you know, don't you know,
there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers? ♫

♫ Don't you know, don't you know,
there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers? ♫
