A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants.
Thanks to one small act of kindness,
by providence she comes across a grateful friend;
Fortunate that her mother,
has done an unperceived good deed….

Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor…
Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?

Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom.
Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost,
a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning.
Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

He understood very well he should not talk too much during this first meeting. Matters regarding the palace treasury shouldn’t be brought up either. This was simply a casual meeting.

Brushing aside a willow branch that was in the way, he asked Li Hongcheng, "The Second Prince just wanted to see me?"

Li Hongcheng answered, "He’s one of your admirers, and it just so happens you married Princess Chen. So, as your brother-in-law, he wanted to see what this ‘Poetry Sage’ was like."

That caught Fan Xian off guard. Wondering if that was all, he shook his head. Moments later, he suddenly sighed, "Why does Second Prince look so familiar to me?"
