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.

Wang Qinian looked at him. "The Eldest Princess cannot make any sort of move from there."

"I know that." Fan Xian knew full well that everything that the Eldest Princess did was done with the Emperor's tacit consent, but today's confrontational meeting with Shen Zhong had confirmed a number of his ideas. "I just want to know for sure exactly how much strength Xinyang has in the royal court."

"Yes sir," replied Wang Qinian. "Master Cui is still kneeling outside... do you think we should allow him in? After all, the Cui clan is also an influential family in the capital, and they have a number of officials at court."
