In autumn, touring Happy Farmhouse
the wine flag was slanting
and couple and guests were indulgent
drinking and playing figure games
chanted poems drunkenly
At night, the Crane Ridge slept soundly
the clear shadows were moving slowly
the relatives loved each other
sat shoulder by shoulder
side by side and talked intimately
A scholar knew afterwards
that he could always do what he wanted
sang happily and had expectation
in the clear water and the green mountain several times
Predestined marriage was determined in prelife
it's always hard to do what he or she wanted
how many infatuated men and complaining women
lament with regret, no end in sight
