The Story of Ming Lan
Episode 6
I hadn't seen your 6th sister in years and she's grown so big.
If she came and walked towards me,
I wouldn't have recognized her.
You already passed the exam, and even if you had planted a tree,
it would be over two zhang measures tall too.
Second Uncle, you sit in my spot.
- Alright. - Second Uncle, use mine.
What do you call him Second Uncle, Brother Yuanruo?
We are relatives up the genealogy.
This is our 4th sister, Molan.
Then I will call you Second Uncle alongside Brother Yuanruo too. You don't mind, do you?
No mind.
Greetings, Second Uncle.
Greetings, 4th Sister.
Second Uncle Gu, greetings.
And this is our 5th sister, Rulan.
Greetings, 5th Sister.
Everyone is here.
Greetings to Scholar Master.
Classmate from the Gu marquis manor is here too.
Yes, he only arrived this morning and rushed to come here.
Good. A youth should be diligent in the morning.
It's never too late to start your path.
You are right, Scholar Master.
Everyone, sit.
Bring me your homework from past days.
Sit here.
Second Brother Gu.
Look at mine first, Master.
My third brother is versed in old and new.
Of course he dares to present his to Master first.
Versed in old and new? I think . . .
At your age, to be able to pen such an essay,
what a rarity.
So many at abashed aged, their examples . . .
5th Sister. 5th Sister?
That pen you're holding.
It looks familiar to me.
It was yours before but 6th Sister gifted it to me.
Such a nice item. How did you spare to gift it away?
The pen is nice but 5th Miss, your penmanship is even better.
In your hands,
even if it's just a tree stick, it can still shine through the ink.
5th Sister, have you no measure to listen clearly?
Of course you need a good pen to write well.
Brother Yuanruo, I wonder how many more fine brushes you have.
6th Sister gifted me one too.
You little chit. Upon meeting you call him Second Uncle Gu.
He's the legitimate son of the marquis manor.
You add so much age to his rank and it's unsuitable.
Mother, what's unsuitable?
If I follow my brother's rank, I need to call him 2nd Brother Gu.
But Brother Yuanruo would be a nephew a generation lower to me.
That's what's unsuitable.
Though you say so, he's still the legitimate son of the marquis manor.
And you'll all be classmates, seeing each other daily . . .
Mother!
Don't speak nonsense. How unfavorable is it for others to hear?
This Gu Tingye, though he's not been at Dongjing these last three to five years.
He went to White Deer Academy.
However I often hear my brother mention him.
He's a frequent customer of the entertainment inn.
He's a pampered young master of the brothels.
If I catch his sight,
I'm done for forever.
Look at how you talk. As if the young master,
already vowed to marry you.
Young Master often comes to see me write lately.
And he compliments that my writing is nice.
Now was he looking at you or the pen you're holding?
He's looking at the pen in his hand,
coming to my hand and writing out so nicely.
Wouldn't he be enticed?
My daughter is the best miss of Sheng manor.
If that young master is smitten by you, that's nothing peculiar.
I just don't know what your father is thinking though.
Why did he let that loafer Gu come study?
All the maidens of the family are there.
What if he takes a sight of interest in you?
What do we do then?
Mother, don't you worry.
That Gu Tingye is quite haughty.
He's already said before,
that he will only marry the legitimate daughter of an aristocrat.
Regrettably all the officialdom households of the capital deem his loafing badly.
No one wants to marry their legitimate daughter to him.
Or else at age past 20, he's still unmarried.
Dukes and Marquis households wanting to marry with legitimate daughters as wives is a common sight.
Gu Tingye wants a legitimate daughter. So this young master of yours,
wouldn't he want a legitimate daughter too?
Brother Yuanruo is a true gentleman.
He won't commit to such an arrogant act.
Yunzai that works for me has had drinks with his manservant a few times.
He only heard from him after getting him drunk,
that Brother Yuanruo never cared about legitimate or not, as long as the person is nice.
He said this. That a man should earn his own merit and name.
Granting his wife his own title and his heir to his title is what a true great man does.
May I ask if it's Young Lord who is in there?
Miss Xiaotao?
What brings you here?
Young Lord, you left your book in the study hall, so I have brought it to you.
Please wait.
My miss said, Young Lord meant well.
It's regrettable that her writing is beyond help.
So such nice pen would be ruined by her.
And she would put to waste your good thought.
This is snack made at home for you to try.
As token of my miss's regret.
How would she ruin them?
It's because the writing isn't well that it requires a good pen.
Or else, I can bring her some floral papers.
My miss said, you are most merciful.
But if the words get out to the gossipers,
it might harm your chasteness.
A grown man. Who cares about chasteness.
She just takes my things,
and throw them to others.
And fob me off like this.
Miss said, you needn't bring anything in the future too.
She's committed no merit to deserve the accepting and it would only make her feel guilty.
She would feel so uneasy at it and Young Master, your imperial exam is what's more urgent.
May you take care.
Here.
The clerk left some fresh jasper cakes for us especially.
We'll bring them to Madam and she'd surely be pleased.
Young Master, where did this come from?
I keep thinking, I am being nice to her,
but she may not even care after all.
Do you mean 6th Sheng Miss?
I am used to having my way in life.
I deemed myself so precious.
But she doesn't even talk to me much.
Gifts I present her? She just throws them to others in a turn.
I keep thinking too.
That she feels ashamed.
She is actually scared of me and tired of me.
Hiding from me. Disregarding me.
So it must be because of 6th Sheng Miss.
She's a concubine born, so why would she look down at you?
Young Master, you are the sole heir of Duke of Qi Manor.
So if I'm a young lord, she must respect me?
So what if she's a concubine born? She's not allowed to disregard me then?
I showered my love at an uninterested party.
Laughable.
How laughable.
Young Lord, you've not had wine but you seem drunk.
I'm a bit scared.
6th Miss came by earlier?
This is from her?
What all did she say?
Wine?
Great.
Turn around. Let's go and drink wine at Fanlou.
Turn around.
Young Master, that's not good.
Duchess is still waiting for you at home.
Caddie Wang, we're not turning around.
Turn around.
Don't turn around.
Buwei. You want me to be unhappy too?
Turn around.
I already told everything you told me to say to Young Lord.
Miss, you're so smart.
How did you know how the Young Lord would respond?
It was exactly as you said it would be.
How did he look?
At first he was pretty anxious.
Then he got angry.
Then he wasn't angry again.
It seems he didn't want to talk to me anymore.
Angry is fine and not wanting to talk is fine too.
It's all fine. All fine.
My mother is too much. Is she afraid Sheng manor has no food that she insists I come fetch it?
It's delaying my studies and making me tardy.
These jade cakes were made personally by Big Madam.
He said you added trouble to the Sheng's for studying there.
So she wanted you to bring them to Sheng to have them try.
Young Master.
Nanny Xiang.
Did you get the jade cakes?
Mistress saved them for you especially.
You're in such a startle. Where are you going?
Nothing much. Are you headed to Sheng manor to study?
Don't let your after study be delayed.
What is it really?
It's just back court's non-matters.
The kitchen was not careful and burned a corner.
I was just scolding them.
Nanny Xiang isn't serving Mother and comes here?
And telling me nothing's the matter?
You, come out.
Tell me. What is it?
Nanny Xiang is having us go . . .
Go chase someone out.
Chase who?
Second Young Master. Someone from Thousand Spring Pavilion is here.
Ask the entire Bianjing.
Does anyone mother like you?
No matter what chaos this bastard creates,
you shield him and embrace him.
And you help them to deceive me too. If it hadn't been me personally running into this,
how much more personally money would you pour into helping that bastard?
Just a matter of a hundred taels.
Also,
this Thousand Spring Pavilion, who knows if they're telling the truth anyway.
They are here to seek the money owed and it's not real?
Second Master, you're here in perfect time. Please settle the account.
So I can rush back.
How long has it been since I last went to Thousand Spring Pavilion? How can there be account unsettled?
It's written here. Second Son of Marquis of Ningyuan.
Look, your seal is here too.
Shituo.
Bring a pen.
Young Master.
Look. Does it look like mine?
It doesn't.
Look, look. I said it might not be his.
But Young Master, you signed this when you were drunk.
Surely it's not as clear as this time. You're a grand family. Please don't put me through trouble.
If I don't get the silvers today, my boss will break my legs.
Now listen to him.
What he said makes sense or not?
Two days ago, I drank at Ten Thousand Aroma Pavilion and it was Second Brother who settled the bill.
He can afford Ten Thousand Aroma Pavilion.
So we don't need to owe to Thousand Spring Pavilion, right?
Maybe Thousand Spring Pavilion is blackmailing us.
Other families, the brothers love and respect each other.
But your second older brother is a disgrace.
And you're still trying to play accomplice to him?
What an example he is.
And what have you learned?
Get lost.
It's just a hundred taels.
It's not like Second Brother can't afford it.
Speak louder. Is this about money?
A person should have good honor.
That disgrace claims to go out to study.
Coaxing your mother to protect him with full devotion.
But this happens today.
Father. Whatever you want to say, say it to me.
Don't frighten him.
Also, Tingwei is right.
It's just a matter of a hundred taels. Did I have to put it on account?
Money? You only know about money?
Because of your maternal family?
They give you all the silvers and you squander like this?
A toxin to the family. Hopeless!
Don't bring up others.
Tingye, it's only just a few silvers.
Just give it to them.
Isn't it only 120 silvers?
Wait. I will get it for you.
I will get it.
Stop there. Do you know where the silvers are kept?
This is also Mother Xiang's business. Why isn't she here?
Father, you said I squandered my mother's money.
Who did that? We don't know yet.
That round red stamp on top is said to be mine.
Those from the Fourth and Fifth Households kept bilking my accounts.
They go out to drink at brothels and look for prostitutes
and reported them under my name.
Come here and take a look.
Is this the face that owes you money?
Sir, the Dong Brothel wants me to come here to collect the debt.
Please don't harm me.
Fine. Let your people come
here to recognize the face and see who's the one who owes you the money.
Enough.
Do a face recognition?
Are you not embarrassed that our Gu family will lose face?
Fine.
Blame me for the loss of the Gu family's face then.
In the past, when I spent thousands of silvers in the brothel,
you blame me and I can't argue,
but I have now turned over a new leaf and live a decent life.
If there are any problems, you suspect me first.
Only when I die,
will our Gu family have the dignity then?
Your older brother is sick and weak. He doesn't leave the house.
Third Son was just here and they didn't point him out.
Don't tell me there are immortals and ancestors in this house who signed your promissory notes?
I have already given you face.
You don't know how to be shameless and still refused to admit it?
Does the Gu family only have those two men?
There are also the uncles in the Fourth and Fifth Household and also the brothers from the hall.
Plus cousins, some 8 or 9 people.
There's also you too, Father.
Say that again.
In any case, whatever I say, you won't believe me.
The person whom you refuses to believe, it's me.
Just beat me then.
Beat me now. After this, I still need to go to Sheng family's home for Scholar Zhuang's class.
The pedantic classes that you studied,
is this how they taught you to oppose and disrespect your father?
You can falsely accuse me. Please don't do this to the Pedant.
Fine then. Men.
Beat this unfilial son.
- Marchioness. - Big Madam.
You are a rare guest.
Quick, go into the house to warm up.
I was at the polo field just now
and passed your house and saw how pretty it was.
I suddenly dropped in. It's rather impolite.
You are an important guest.
I can't even wish for you to come at my will.
Big Madam thought your class might be done and asks you to go to her.
Sixth Sister.
Make simmering lamb meat for me.
Mother. Mother.
My dearest, you're finally here.
Big Madam went to host the guests in the front hall and instructed me to look after you.
To make sure you're dressed and accessorized refine and proper.
- Quick. - What are you doing?
- What are you doing? - Mrs Wu is here.
We don't have any dealings with her. Why is she here?
To play polo? I'm exhausted.
What do you mean? My dear Miss.
She suddenly came to our home and also brought her youngest son, Sixth Master.
Liang Han is his name.
Big Madam told me,
she must be here to have a look for someone,
and marry you off as their daughter-in-law.
What's the big deal that I must still change to a new hairdo and clothes?
[ Sheng Residence ]
Mother.
The Lush Pavilion people came and summoned 5th Sister earlier.
I was waiting for you to come back. Madam Wu is here.
Mistress Wu of the Marquis of Yongchang house?
That's her. She is a very enthusiastic person.
Everyone in Bianliang praises her.
Many families are going around to look for a match for their children.
She suddenly dropped in today and the Mistress immediately call Rulan back.
Guess what it is for.
It must be that she heard the daughters in the Sheng family
have all come of age
and came here specially to observe.
Once my dear, you have dressed up and become the most beautiful
it'll have nothing to do with Weiwei Court anymore.T/N: Weiwei Court is where the Mistress is living
Who wants her to observe me.
Brother Yuanruo has already seen me many times.
Mo'er, he's not the only Little Young Master in this world. It's good to meet more people.
For example ones from Marquis Lingguo or from Marquis Jinxiang
Mother, do not mention the house of Marquis Lingguo. His house is deplorable.
I heard from Eldest Brother that the sons in their family
are the same age as Second Brother
but they have about twenty wives and servant maids serving them.
This kind of family, don't even talk about me,
not even my maid Yunzhai would look favourably upon them.
Mo'er, there is nothing certain in this world.
Unless this Little Young Master sends his betrothal gifts today to formalize the marriage.
It's better to have a look around more.
Then we go see. We should let Bianliang know there is such a person as me.
Come.
I wonder how your health is.
Thank you for your concern.
There must be blessing from His Majesty in Bianliang,
my Mother is in much better health than back in Yangzhou.
That's good then.
Elders in good health is a great fortune for the whole family.
Mistress you have great fortune.
Prior to my marriage, I have met the old Madame before.
The only daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi,
Such style and poise.
I only hope to be able to meet with her again.
The flowers have only just bloomed Why are you holding a fan?
You'll look inexperienced and ignorant.
Mother, no one is calling us yet.
Could it be that she's not calling us?
No such rules.
She's the Mistress, t'hen she should have the demeanour of one.
Any female guests would just have one request,
to have a look at the children.
If the guest asked for it, and she still doesn't summon us, then she's deliberately cheating us.
It cannot be justified no matter where she goes.
You are right Mother.
Mother Liu.
Fifth Miss.
Time to go?
Wait for a while longer.
Then lets eat.
Wait for a while longer.
I'm starving. Brew the Seven Treasures Thunder tea for me.
Why not have some fruits first?
The kitchen has some new quality pastries today.
You are talking too much.
Go now.
Are you here to call me?
Bring my cloak now.
I asked the maid servants in the front hall.
After the Marquise left Shouan court, she went to the front sitting room.
I took a look and saw her son talking to our Second Master.
I fear the mother and son are leaving soon.
What?
Looks like the Mistress will not be summoning you see the Marquise.
Miss...this...
No propriety at all!
You are of marriageable age, but it's the Mistress who looks after such matters.
She has been jealous and hated us for many years.
I wonder how much sufferings you will receive in the future.
You are already breaking things now. How would there be enough things in this house for you to squander in the future?
Then what? Should we just not go because she didn't call?
I have an idea, though it may not help much
but at least we've tried.
Fourth Miss, you should go and take a look.
Even if you can't meet, you can at least have a look through the seams.
If you know what the Marquise looks like, then
if there's any banquets, or polo games, poem gatherings, flower viewings,
then you would know who she is. If you need to try to gain her favour
then you'll at least have some information.
It's just that our Miss will have to suffer some grievances.
I'm a proper Fourth Miss.
Now I have to go via the back hall, and peak out from behind the screens?
This is such a disgrace.
Miss this is not the right way to look at it. What's so disgraceful about that?
If you don't act when you need to
then even your innards would turn green from regret!
You should be glad I even want you to make embroideries for me.
In any case, if you delay the knee pad that I want to give to Eldest Sister,
I won't let you off.
Main Mother wanted you to embroider that yet you pushed it to me.
I really can't do it.
Why don't we go and discuss this with the main mother then?
Of course, we can't discuss this with my mother.
What's wrong with you? I told you to help me with some embroidery,
but you're making so much excuses.
I don't care. You must embroider this knee pad.
If not...
At meal time, I'll personally make barque lamb and charcoal grilled meat.
Really?
Stop interrupting.
I will still eat those.
But I want that knee pad too. Moreover, do it fast.
You want me to copy books,
and want me to cook lunch too.
And you want to me make knee pads too.
I can't do it.
I'll just let Fifth Sister
take me to see main mother.
I...Don't.
Why don't we go and eat the mutton first?
My stomachs already growling, I'm starving.
Cook it fast.
You should make me an extra knee pad every quarter hour delayed.
Miss.
Miss, be careful.
It's such a big step. Why didn't you watch it for me?
You let everyone see this. Come with me.
Miss, be careful.
Why is she behaving suspiciously?
Let's follow her.
- Let's go. - Don't go.
I... I need to go back and make barbecued lamb.
She's behaving suspiciously. She must be up to something.
Let's go and take a look.
We should...go back and eat the mutton.
I'm not eating that anymore.
Let me tell you. If you go with me, you don't have to make those knee pads for me.
Let's go now. I must get some dirt on her.
Hurry up.
Fifth sister, who do you that is out there?
I haven't finished copying the "Song of Chu" that teacher Zhuan assigned me.
I'm leaving first.
Sixth Sister, do think think
- that Little Young Master is better. - Or the Sixth Son of the Liang family is better.
Whoever teacher Zhuan thinks is better, then he is better.
Classes start at 5:30 in the morning.
We study a new text every 5 days.
Starting at 5:30 in the morning!
Little Young Master, how do you manage to get up?
The Sheng family has a younger daughter. She also...
Who?
Frankly, it's difficult for me to get up at this time too.
Brother Qi, why the need for this?
We are from aristocratic families.
You are talented and ambitious and set on taking the examinations.
As for me, I'll just wait to inherit my title.
They all say that the Sixth son of the Liang is very respectable and noble
but it seems words pale against meeting the actual person.
In my opinion he's like that Second Uncle Gu, an idle wastrel.
If we were to talk about the noble young masters in Bianliang,
in terms of talents and looks,
Fifth Sister, which son do you think is better?
Fourth Sister, listening to the way you talk,
you sound like... a Princess or a Lady
from the Palace.
It's almost like all the Nobel young masters in Bianliang are there for your picking.
It's a pity that no matter how high your ambition is
you'll never be in the same class as the House of Marquis of Qiguo.
It's not proper for young ladies to peak into the front halls.
We should go.
That's right.
Younger sister is the respectable child of a wife and the most well behaved.
But what's the use of being well behaved?
You can't even have a chat with Brother Yuanruo
What a waste of Main Mother's efforts in sending you to school.
Forget about composing poems or literary works.
I fear you can't even differentiate between Confucius and Mencius.
If people didn't know better, they'd think she's the daughter of the Concubine.
What are you saying?!
Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, what are you doing?
What's wrong? What happened?
I... I was going to go.
This is how you pay respect?
I heard she was the legitimate daughter.
I've never seen any daughter of other houses show her face like that.
Minister Sheng is a true gentleman.
Old Madam of Sheng House is the precious daughter of a marquis.
Their family has always kept up with rigorous manner. I never ever imagined that.
Don't act so innocent now.
Those maidens. If it hadn't been because they knew you were coming,
and they wanted to steal a look, this wouldn't have happened.
The daughters of Sheng House were just too anxious and show themselves and made an ignorant blunder.
The one on the side seemed quite gentle and refined.
She seemed to have been dragged there forcibly by the two on the ground.
From her manner of speaking, she seems to be a concubine born.
That's not an issue.
Treating concubine daughters harshly is the conduct of unrefined lowly households.
Once a woman marries out, it's a new world.
As long as they are not married yet, no one knows what the future holds.
Young Master, only you can smile about it.
I don't know why,
but I was angry at her for many days.
Yet as soon as I see her,
I find it amusing again.
She's always lost and dazed, or dodging and evading.
She's not inclined for others to see her. When have you ever seen her like today?
Indeed quite pitiful and cute. I would remember it for ten years.
Quieter, My Lord. Don't let the caddie outside hear you.
- Why? - When the Sheng maidens fell out today,
you wanted to help her up. It's so not proper.
What's not proper about it?
I've been hiding it for you all this time, but thankfully 6th Miss understands propriety.
Even though you keep insisting on getting close to her.
She's not spoiled or arrogant. Or else it will be hard to hide it.
What's there to hide?
Her Ladyship won't like your conduct.
And today we had Duchess of Yongchang along the side too.
She's got quite the tongue.
If words get out that you had helped Miss Sheng up, then it would be all real.
If Her Ladyship finds out, she'd come to the Sheng door to be sure.
Once Her Ladyship shows up at the door,
the Sheng Misses would be obliged to answer to all her questions. Who knows what Her Ladyship would ask.
Your conducts in the past would all be exposed.
Look at how scared you are.
I didn't help her up today.
Moreover, Mother would see the Sheng family's
social status in disdain. She wouldn't go there.
You never know. For your sake, Her Ladyship is watching everything closely.
And the duke is concerned.
- Every night he returns and asks about everything.- What's there to ask?
The 6th Sheng Miss is only short from sweeping me out the door.
Where did you err?
I shouldn't have . . .
I shouldn't have, without a summon,
to barge into the front hall.
What summoning?
Is there a place in this house that the daughter can't go?
Are we still Sheng's?
You just beat me when you want.
Why this favoring of one and discriminating the other?
As far as going to the front hall, we all three went there.
Why is it only the two of us are beaten and not Molan?
What?
Sister is right.
Since Big Sister married off,
I am the eldest among the daughters still at home.
But I failed to look after my younger sister well today.
This disaster occurred and I ask Father to punish me too.
We don't need you to talk here.
Yes, yes, yes. Big Madam, don't be angry.
Mo'er, this has nothing to do with you.
You get up.
What?
Your father's teaching you and you don't concede?
Give me your hand.
Your hand!
Your hand again!
If I don't punish you harshly, you just don't know where you errored.
You punish us for barging into the front hall.
And ruined the family rules and you blame us for falling out and startling the guests.
Putting shame to Sheng honor.
But it was Molan who brought us un-summoned to the front hall.
It was Molan who pushed us that we fell out.
We were just going to have a chat behind the screens, just a chat, we never...
I saw that 5th and 6th Sister were walking ahead.
I wanted to startle them for fun.
In the end, I am the oldest sister.
I failed to watch over them well.
Father please punish me along with them.
You're lying! You're lying!
It was clearly you who took us to the front hall.
6th Sister, say something!
Speak! What are you doing just looking?
Ming'er, you tell the truth. What happened?
Speak!
It was 4th sister.
She went before us.
Little Six! How is that you're being forced by 5th Sister to talk nonsense?
How did I force her?
She's clearly telling the truth.
I was indeed with the sisters.
My sisters committed a wrong.
I failed to manage them well.
May you punish me too so 5th Sister's pacified.
Look at your sister.
Mo'er, you're older than them.
You're a good child. You're always thinking of protecting them.
Get on up.
Learn from your older sister!
I'll never learn from her!
What good child? She's a liar! Lying with her eyes open!
It was clearly your wrong!
How do you just listen to that little witch?
You won't listen to a word my daughter says.
Look at your own daughter though!
Didn't you see her just now?
So spoiled by you that she's lawless now.
You didn't see it? She was about to beat her.
First, she embarrasses herself before guests from outside.
Then she plots to hit her older sister.
Who knows what she might do tomorrow!
If I don't punish her now, when do I punish her?
Wait until she commits the gravest offense?
When the two of us go before the ancestral hall and cry to our ancestors?
The two of you were unruly and startled the guests.
Go kneel at the ancestral shrine.
I didn't do any wrong. She is framing me, clearly.
I won't kneel.
You still insist you had no wrong?
Even if Mo'er wanted to push you, you had to be there to be pushed.
If you had been docile and staying in your room,
quietly embroidering and writing at home, would she incite you?
Isn't it because you wronged in going to the front hall unauthorized?
Truly!
I really didn't do any wrong.
You're unreasonable, Father.
If I don't punish you well today, you won't know your wrong.
You still want to hit her?
You insist you're not wrong?
Then go to the shrine and kneel for three days.
Reflect thoroughly.

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?♫
