Flourished Peony (2025) s01e11 Episode Script

Wu'er, I miss you so much.
- Wu'er. I really miss you so much.
- She is not Qin Wu'er.
- So many people here.
- I truly can't leave…
Let her go.
You are no longer Qin Wu'er. You are Qin Sheng Yi.
Don't fear that man anymore.
We are chatting. What does it have to do with you?
That divorce agreement worth ten strings is still in my house.
The person who has nothing to do with Sheng Yi now is you.
Dear, I was wrong. I have known my mistake.
Do you really plan to go on without a home or husband?
Dear, I truly can't leave you.
- I-I truly can't live without you.
- Of course, you can't live without her.
Without her, no one would work for you without complaint.
Without her, no one would endure your beating.
But without you, she will only get better and better, and her business will grow bigger and bigger.
It was never her who needed you, but you who can't be without her.
Dear wife.
In the past, the business was bad, so I could only drown my sorrows in alcohol.
But when I beat you, I felt painful.
Dear, I was so sorry. I will never beat you again.
Think about it. When we just got married, I treated you so well.
We also had our harmonious days.
He's said this to you more than once, hasn't he?
A beast is a beast. How can it change its nature?
Sheng Yi. Don't be fooled by his sweet-talking.
You'd better go. Don't stay here and never come to me again.
Dearest. I really can't live without you.
Get lost. Get lost.
Don't be afraid. It's okay now.
Xinfeng wine is free to try.
- Miss, take the money.
- All right.
This is the second pot that I've bought. This flower is not easy to take care of.
- Here, take this. Come again next time.
- Sure.
- Don't water it too much.
- All right.
- Come take a look.
- Fresh flowers newly arrived.
Come and see the reasonably priced peony.
My wife will surely be delighted.
Come and take a look at the flowers.
[Sheng Yi]
Previously, I can never write my name properly.
Today I met Wang Qing with frustrated look, I felt a bit of triumph.
See, I can write it now.
From now on, we will get better and better.
Mu Dan. What kind of incense are you making?
I've never seen it before.
It's called Hundred Moment Incense. My mother taught me this.
I can create different patterns according to personal preference.
This incense can also tell time, and can be used to calm the mind when making it.
We can't afford expensive incense powder, but we can still pursue some refined pleasures
to make our days more exquisite.
[Peace and Joy]
Peace… Joy…
What a great meaning.
Here.
You've worked so hard to make this incense.
I must save it for a special day, otherwise, I won't burn it.
If you don't burn it after being made, it would become a useless item.
Don't worry. Making it already calms my mind.
Use it. I'll make another for you after you've used it up.
Mu Dan. Wait for me.
Mu Dan.
Sheng Yi. This…
I'm now living so fully and happily, all thanks to you.
I have nothing of value to repay you,
so I took the first money I earned and bought the cloths to make this dress.
I hope you would like it.
Your clothes are all torn, yet you still thought of buying such a nice dress for me.
Sheng Yi, thank you.
- I will buy you clothes too.
- I…
Let's take a day off tomorrow, and go out for a stroll.
We've earned money, so we should go experience the prosperity of Chang'an.
Sure.
Youshi Hall facial cream nourishes the skin.
Come on, Sheng Yi.
Bravo!
Bravo!
One more.
Bravo!
Don't. Just watch. Save some money.
- Let's go look over there.
- Bravo!
Well played.
Bravo!
Wishful sachet.
Take a sniff.
It smells good.
- For you.
- Thank you, Mu Dan.
Don't mention it. I'm glad you like it.
It's really beautiful.
♫ If the heart remains as still as water, youth becomes eternal ♫
♫ Still cherishing the moon of my hometown, yearning to meet again ♫
Well drawn.
I'd like to ask her to draw a portrait of my mother for me.
Anyone you wish to draw? We can do it together.
My father and mother are only doting on their son.
- In the entire family, only my sixth brother is kind to me.
- Sixth brother?
You have a younger brother? Why have you never told me?
We haven't seen each other for a long time.
Although my sixth brother can't read, just like me, he is very clever and sensible.
In order not to let my mother sell me,
he himself was not in good health, but still went to the tavern to help in the kitchen.
When I got married, he was the only one in the family who was reluctant to let me go,
crying and asking me to go back often.
But Wang Qing would not allow me to go back.
I didn't see him once in two years.
Now you are free. Whenever you want to see your younger brother, you can go back at any time.
Indeed. I was thinking when I save up some more money,
I could also bring him to Chang'an to live a good life.
All right.
But for now, you can draw a picture of you two enjoying the flowers.
When you miss him, you can look at it.
When we make money and open a shop,
then you can return home with money, showing off to those who looked down on you.
Let them see how successful Sheng Yi is in Chang'an.
All right.
- That's amazing? See.
- Look at mine. It's not growing well.
- Selling inferior flowers.
- Right.
- Mine is the same.
- Everyone.
- Everyone, what happened?
- It's her.
It's this evil woman intentionally selling us the sick flowers.
Everyone, when the Sleeve Lingering Peony was sold, it was definitely not sick.
There must be some misunderstanding. Who can tell me what exactly happened?
- You…
- Everyone, please make way.
When you just set up your stall, I bought this flower. But it's withered within four days.
My wife scolded me for not taking good care of it.
A couple of days ago, I bought another pot.
Look at this pot now. I'm afraid it's about to wilt again.
I'll take a look.
You must water it too much. The water collects at the root.
You can give me this flower. I can revive it and return a healthy one to you tomorrow.
But this other one is completely withered. I can't do anything to save it.
Can you tell me how you cared for it before?
Well…
Your flower had a problem, yet you're blaming us.
If one or two people didn't care for it well,
but so many flowers are withered, don't try to shirk the responsibility.
Miss, I bought this flower when you just started your stall.
You said that the flower would bloom for half a month.
- Look, the situation of the others is similar to mine.
- Yes.
No one's flowers survive more than ten days.
We hope you can give us an explanation.
Madam, flowers are living things. There are many reasons for wilting.
I must check them one by one. Let me check on your flower.
Cut the chatter.
The flower is dead. What else is there to see?
- Refund.
- Refund.
- Right. Are you trying to pass the buck?
- Refund.
Are you trying to shrink responsibility and not refund our money?
I have no such intention. Please listen to me.
Don't listen to her.
Selling inferior flowers, cheating the people. and refusing to refund the money.
- Today, we must teach her a lesson.
- Exactly.
- Smash her stall.
- Smash it.
- Right.
- Don't smash my flowers.
- Get out of the way. If no refund, then smash everything.
- Smash them all.
- Give me a refund.
- Smash the flowers.
- Stop it. Stop it
- Smash them!
- Stop it. Stop it.
- Smash them! Smash them!
- Don't smash my flowers.
- Stop it.
- Move!
- You can't smash them. All of these are our effort.
- Don't smash. Sheng Yi.
- Go away.
- Mu Dan, are you all right?
- Move.
Stop smashing. I'll refund. I'll refund.
So many flowers. If we refund them all, our business will be ruined.
Customers,
I know as a merchant, if one wishes to last long in business, one must value reputation.
I didn't mean to cause this.
But since you bought the flowers from me, I will certainly take full responsibility.
The peony flowers may be withered, but my character will not.
I assure all of you, just return your Sleeve Lingering Peony to me,
Once I clear the stock and recover the funds, I'll return all the money for the flowers to you all.
None of us is wealthy, we are all needing money.
Why should we wait for you? Refund it today.
- Yes, refund it today.
- Refund it all today.
We don't have much money left. The next batch of flowers is still being cultivated.
All right. I will refund it all today.
Please wait here. I'll go back to get the money now.
If you run away, then what should we do?
I won't do so.
We must take them back with us, watch them take out the money.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Sheng Yi.
- Let's go.
- Hurry.
- Let's go.
- Hurry up.
- What's wrong?
Everyone, look. Dishonest traders are selling inferior goods.
Everyone, remember them. Don't be deceived by them again.
- Women are no good at business.
- You!
Going outside all day long, how can they be considered nice women?
The authorities should have caught them and locked them up.
This is going too far.
Wang Qing leading the trouble is all my fault. It's my fault, Mu Dan.
It's alright. It's just a few rumors.
When we restore our reputation later, we will surely change everyone's view.
Don't worry. Calm down.
- What are you doing?
- Hurry up. Don't dilly-dally.
- Are you thinking of running away?
- Just follow them and get the money back.
- Hurry up. Everyone, come and watch.
- Don't push her.
Dishonest traders are selling inferior goods.
Everyone, remember them. Don't be deceived by them again.
[Gentle drizzle, soothing and serene]
Young Master. I can kill the fish.
But I really can't tease the fish.
I've been teasing this fish for half a day, but I haven't even seen it at all.
What's so special about this fish anyway?
This governor of Yuanzhou specially presented this gold carp, begging me to offer it to His Majesty.
He said it's entirely golden, with dragon patterns on its belly, which is a sign of good omen.
This fish is timid and easily frightened, always hiding under the rocks.
If you want to see it first, well, let's not make any noise and wait quietly.
Hurry up. Don't dilly-dally.
Don't try to run away. We're all watching.
Backyard again?
The evil neighbor disturbs me. According to law, how much fine should be imposed?
- Hurry up, thinking of running away?
- Don't touch her anymore.
The people living nearby are all high officials and nobles.
Making a commotion here might not be good.
What's there to fear? She's not from a noble or wealthy family.
- We're here to get our money back from the dishonest traders.
- Sheng Yi.
If the officials come, we are still in the right.
Everyone, I never go back on my promise.
I'm going in to get the money. Please wait here.
You can climb walls. If you run away, whom shall we find?
I'll stay here and wait with you. Rest assured.
Since she has said she will give a refund, we don't need to be aggressive here.
This is her house. If we barge in by force, even a justified cause will seem unjustified.
If she reports it to the government office, we may even end up being beaten with sticks.
- Right.
- We should just wait here.
- Yes.
- Miss, hurry up.
Thank you.
- Hurry.
- Go. Go.
Go.
Sheng Yi, assign numbers to them. I'm going in to get the money.
The madam who just spoke up for us is a kind person.
If Wang Qing starts trouble again, ask her to speak for us.
Don't be afraid.
Understood, leave.
Young Master. All the flowers sold by Miss He have withered, and her customers are causing trouble here.
She agreed to refund the money, asking them to wait outside.
Refund?
Then I'll lose my capital.
After she went back, the group of people outside have been shouting nonstop.
I'm afraid they will barge in and do some aggro.
It would be good if she could be unharmed. Yet you still only care about money.
Young Master, you are truly cruel.
I'm flattered. He Wei Fang is cunning and shrewd, treasuring money as life.
No one could make her suffer a loss.
How long has she been back in her house?
Has she run away?
It's normal for these flowers to wither.
- Ignorant women! What good can they possibly grow?
- Exactly.
In my opinion, this woman doesn't know how to grow flowers.
Why selling flower? Might as well sell her body.
Exactly. A pot of flowers costs eighty wens.
It withers after just a few days of care. She's so despicable and unreliable.
Right, despicable and unreliable.
This is not a peony at all.
- We have been deceived by this woman.
- Right, she is a swindle.
Don't ever again trust these indecent women again.
She's disobedient and committing fraud.
Stop slandering Mu Dan.
Qin Wu'er, she is so cunning.
I know you have learned from a bad example.
Today, if she can't get the money, then we'll smash this place up.
- Right, smash it up.
- Everyone, go in and smash it.
- Let's smash it.
- Smash it.
Just a pot of flowers, it's not worth it. The neighbors are all nobles.
[Peace and Joy]
♫ Laugh as storms overturn the dust ♫
[Woman]
♫ A blooming flower with proud spirit reflects the color of the sky ♫
♫ And never withering ♫
♫ Don’t let time tarnish the beauty of the fragrance ♫
[]
Mother.
Wait for this incense to burn out,
I will go handle it myself.
♫ A blooming flower with proud spirit reflects the color of the sky ♫
♫ And never withering ♫
♫ Don’t let time tarnish the beauty of the fragrance ♫
I can't wait any longer. If she doesn't come out, don't blame me.
- Mu Dan.
- Wait no more.
- Smash it. Smash it and enter.
- Right.
The commotion from outside is growing louder. I can hardly hold them back anymore.
How's it going? Does she need my help?
She'll be out soon. You go find the account book first, so you can check the accounts later.
- Is she all right?
- Hurry up!
Very well. She is someone who can solve everything. Go ahead.
- Open the door.
- Hurry up and open it.
- We've been waiting for so long.
- What are you doing?
If you don't have money, just come out and follow us to the government office.
Who knows what she's doing in there? She might have escaped.
Please wait a moment longer.
Young Master, it's Miss Qin's ex-husband who's instigating this event.
He deliberately incited customers to cause trouble.
- Everyone, smash the door. Go.
- Don't.
- Smash it. She must have run off with the money.
- Calm down.
- Mu Dan is coming out.
- Move.
- Check if there's a back door.
- Mu Dan is gathering the money.
- Move.
- Don't rush, wait a bit longer.
Wang Qing, if you hate me, just come at me. Don't take it out on others.
That wretch coaxed you into leaving me, I won't let her go.
Unless you are willing to come back and live with me.
Impossible.
Make way! Why are you all standing there?
Don't think that hiding in there means all is well.
Everyone, come with me and charge in. Take away all the valuable things in the house.
- To get back our money.
- That's right. Let's go.
- Young Master. You really just watch by and not helping?
- Stop.
The commotion in Luoyang is bigger than this.
- Mu Dan can handle this.
- Move.
Stop!
I already get the money.
Who overturned the table just now?
The teacup is worth ten wens, and the table fifty wens.
I will deduct it from his spending money.
Who else wants to smash it? Please feel free.
Who are you trying to scare?
Smashing a dishonest trader's things is to uphold justice.
To uphold justice?
So it will give you money?
Just now at my flower stall, the peonies you smashed all must be compensated for at the set price.
- If it goes to the government office, I'm afraid the compensation will be even greater.
- I told you. She wouldn't deceive others.
Everyone. Wang Qing has a personal grudge against me,
so he incited you all to come here and cause trouble. Don't be used by him.
Just listen to me and don't act rashly. You will get back the refund money.
I want to run the business for a long time. I also want to make friends with you.
Harmony brings wealth to all. Everyone, please think it carefully.
I knew it. This lady will keep her word.
What are you making a fuss about?
Exactly.
Madam, you go first.
- The show is over, let's go.
- Here is your money. Take it.
Do I let you go?
In the backyard of the Jiang Residence, a group of people barged in and even smashed the door.
If any flowers, tiles, or walls get damaged, this money for the repairs will be deducted from your monthly salary.
No, Young Master.
Next, please.
- I have two pots.
- I remember you. You've bought flowers twice.
- Here, for you.
- Thank you
She has the current situation under control, and we can't turn the tide anymore.
- We must find another way.
- Rest assured.
During the mess just now, I've obtained Qin Wu'er's personal belongings.
I'm used to doing such things, and I will not fail again.
You, being an auspicious object, are yet so timid, hiding away at the slightest fright.
You can't achieve anything.
I know someone
who feels fear and cries, yet always faces difficulties, never backing down.
How about I take you to learn from her?
Crying secretly again.
Why do I keep seeing you like this?
After all this, you don't cry or fuss, nor ask me for additional money,
yet you still tidy up these withered flowers.
Jiang Xiao Hua, your resilience is far greater than that of your flowers.
The business has encountered such a setback.
I have failed your expectations.
You promised me that you would yield great profits for me.
You made your promise.
It's not the small amount of money that disappoints me, but as the Floral Envoy, I have misjudged.
You haven't misjudged my talent in caring flowers.
The failure now is all because I was being smug.
Why would you say that?
When I dug up these flowers from the mountain, I knew it would hurt them.
But I had previously successfully transplanted multiple times,
so I ignored my inexperience with mountain flowers, thinking that with my own skills
and good fertilization and irrigation, I could minimize the damage.
Unfortunately, I failed to consider the subsequent growth.
Now, to refund the money to the customers is only right.
I also feel ashamed of your investment.
If you wish to take back your capital and withdraw from this deal, I accept it.
You've nearly spent all your money.
How will you compensate me?
The ladies of Huanyun Tower all know that there's a clever-tongued flower-selling woman living in my backyard.
If I forced you to dead end for some petty money, it would ruin my reputation for cherishing beauty.
In business, one must not only seek profit for profit's sake. Honesty should be prioritized.
Since you have invested in my business, I must take responsibility for your money.
Once I've earned back the capital, I will immediately repay you.
Doing business is like warfare. Victory and defeat are common.
With lessons, just improve yourself.
I invested money in you to turn one hundred strings into tens of thousands strings.
If I only get back the capital and severe our cooperation, to me, it is a loss.
Yes.
Envoy Jiang, you have long-term vision. I will certainly not fail your trust.
Envoy Jiang, look.
This patch is the new breed of peonies I've cultivated.
This kind of flower boasts a unique color, but it's very difficult to blossom.
Thus, the purchase price is not high. However, I have already improved this flaw,
and have named it Spring Evening.
I don't care what color it is.
I just want you to make money for me.
Yes, yes.
Spring Evening has a long blooming period and it can bloom until the peonies go on sale.
After autumn comes, I will pick another batch of good seedlings, and start cultivating them from scratch.
There will be no further risk of transplanting.
Then I'll count on you for my next month's drinking money.
No problem.
But there's another compensation that you need to make up for me today.
What is it?
I got a golden carp. Seeing it brings good luck.
But it's timid and easily frightened. I've been watching it all day,
and it was about to come out. But it was scared back by the noise in your backyard.
Tell me, how will you compensate me?
Envoy Jiang, why are you considerate at times, yet unreasonable at others?
What does this fish have to do with me?
Let's deal with it one by one. This is a fish to be offered to His Majesty.
You'd handle it yourself.
Raising fish is similar to caring flowers.
The most important thing is a suitable environment.
This fish lived in rivers and lakes before.
If I try to create a familiar environment for it, with moonlight and fallen trees,
making it believe that it's still in a mountain stream, perhaps it will then show itself.
Little tricks to deceive both humans and animals.
Indeed, you are of this talent.
As a Floral Envoy, you don't know how to tame a fish.
Indeed, you are a charlatan.
You have the talent for business, and know how to be a merchant.
You surely know selling fresh flowers comes with high costs and risks.
Why not pursue another line of work to earn money?
You present tribute and gadgets to His Majesty, naturally, should evaluate the value of everything.
But I grow and sell flowers. It's all because I love it.
I do as I please.
As for me, the peony flowers are the most precious things in this world.
The peony flowers are delicate and fragile, of no use, merely a beautiful plaything without any practical use.
Why are you so obsessed with them?
Regardless of what they have been through before, as long as they are replanted into the soil,
they will take root again and grow towards the sun.
Every time I see these, a surge of power wells up in my heart to start over again.
People said that only those who are useful can appreciate the beauty of what's deemed useless. In that case, are you useful or useless?
You talk so mean, making me a headache.
Is this fish coming or not?
Yes, I suppose.
Let's wait a bit more.
Is it beneath here?
It seems to be on this side.
I saw it.
So small?
It's useful, right?
- Sheng Yi. I have something…
- This is for you.
Thank you, Sheng Yi.
If it weren't for me, Wang Qing would not have taken his revenge on you,
and your effort would have not gone in vain.
Mu Dan. I am sorry.
What are you talking about? Come on, have a seat, Sheng Yi.
Remember. There's no need for apologies between us.
Moreover, the root cause of the flower's failure lies with me.
It's good to learn a lesson.
Don't worry. I will try to improve the last batch of Sleeve Lingering Peony.
If we can get enough nutrient to them to extend the blooming period, perhaps we can also sell them.
But our money is either lost to the customers, or used to purchase new peony varieties.
Spring Evening is still waiting for the last fertilization.
We have no extra money to use.
How can we go on this business?
We have just started doing business. We can't give up once we face difficulty.
There will always be a solution.
Right. Madam Sun from yesterday is so kind.
When we have the time, let's go thank her properly.
She seems to sell incense powder in the West Market, not far from us.
Incense powder?
If we turn the withered flowers all into incense powder,
then we could earn back the money for Spring Evening's fertilizer?
Sheng Yi, now let's go find Madam Sun and ask her how to make incense powder.
Let's go.
Sheng Yi, thank you for reminding me.
You have a lot of ideas.
Baked cakes, crispy and delicious.
Ceramic utensils for sale.
Come and take a look.
Suitable for both viewing and wearing.
Madam, your incense powder is really fine and smooth.
It's you two.
But the clove and Yulan magnolia are being used by everyone.
I'm afraid that people might find it boring, that's why causes the poor business.
What a pity.
I'm truly sorry.
Yesterday, I didn't mean to put you two in a difficult position.
But I am indeed short of money.
Madam, it was I who wanted to refund the money for the flowers yesterday.
It has nothing to do with you. Don't feel guilty.
Misses, do you want to buy incense powder?
You can take any on this stall.
After all, I'm also going to close down.
Might as well give them to you as a gift.
- Take it.
- Madam, no need.
Our visit today is for two matters.
Just call me Mu Dan.
First is to express gratitude for your tolerance towards us yesterday.
Second, we would like to ask for your guidance on how to make incense powder.
Since your business is not that good, why not cooperate with us?
Peonies are expensive and have a light fragrance, so no one uses them for making incense.
But the Sleeve Lingering Peony has a rich and pleasant fragrance.
Take a whiff.
If we develop a product with this, we will definitely stand out and double the product price.
Madam, you have the skill of making incense, and we have incense materials.
We can develop peony incense powder together. Even if you are closing your stall, it doesn't matter.
My stall is vacant. You can go there to sell.
Mu Dan. I understood what you mean.
Very good.
However, you know what happened yesterday.
Now, we can't afford the down payment.
But if you trust me, I will write a contract right now.
After the peony incense powder is sold, I will repay your money.
Mu Dan. You are smart and reliable. What have I to worry about?
The cooperation you just mentioned is feasible, but… I have a favor to ask.
Mother.
Mother, I'm back.
This is my daughter, A'Fu.
She is frank and kind, usually helps out at the stall, assisting me.
I wonder if you two could take her with you and work together,
to temper her character and teach her how to do business.
Do…
Although she is not eloquent, she is hardworking and diligent, certainly will not disappoint you.
Mind your manners.
My name is…
Smile.
My name is Zhu Fu.
Greetings.
For the incense powder business, we are still novices.
We will need your guidance in the future.
In the past at the stall, what were you responsible for?
I prepare incense. I am naturally strong and adept at cutting, pounding, grinding, and filing.
All the incense here…
Compared to other women, she is stronger.
Any physical labor, just leave it to her.
She is also good at blending scents.
She can distinguish the smells of all kinds of incense materials.
If she's that amazing,
I wonder if you can smell what the sachet in my hand is made of.
This is the sachet you gave me, and it disappeared yesterday.
I thought I had lost it.
Last night, you've spent the night with me, very joyously.
Even you left your personal belonging.
Today I came specially to return it.
And I thought to give you more money to spend the night together again.
So, this flower-selling woman is selling her body.
Selling flowers is just a front, but selling her body is the reality.
Remember them. They are cheaper than those from the brothels.
This matter started because of me. I'll go explain to him. You go…
It was Wang Qing who sent you, wasn't it? Failing to provoke trouble, then slandering her.
How despicable!
Your body is surrounded by the seductive incense made of cardamun vanilla, and ambergris. Only the courtesans use this incense.
Last night, you were seeking pleasure in Pingkang House.
You scoundrel! How dare you to ruin her reputation!
Watch me break your legs.
Murder! Someone's killing!
Come back! I'll…
Kneel down.
Madam, don't.
- Do you know you're wrong? What did you do wrong?
- Yes.
- I should've broken his legs first, then he couldn't have run away.
- How dare you!
You are pissing me off.
What did you say to me earlier?
To properly learn how to do business and stop learning martial arts and causing trouble.
I've finally found you a master.
If you still act like this, who dares take you in?
I have already said I've never wanted to do business.
- I just want to venture the world to uphold justice, just like it's written in the legends.
- What did you say?
- Madam, don't. Don't hit her.
- Madam, please stop.
A'Fu is an extraordinary woman. When we interact, it will certainly be of fun.
Yes.
You don't find me rude and impolite?
Of course not. On the contrary, I find you honest and charming.
And you eliminate harm for the people, like a heroine of an era.
Heroine?
As the saying goes, one is hard to find the one who admires him.
I think you are the one.
No, no, no.
Madam. I really like A'Fu.
I will surely take good care of her.
Mu Dan. You are willing to take in A'Fu.
That's great.
Your name is Mu Dan?
Just call me Da Fu.
- You are…
- My name is Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi. What a pleasant name.
From now on, we are friends. If anyone dares to bully you, they'll answer to my fists.
'Fragrance Recital' - Zhang Zining
♫ On the endless road to Chang'an,
the zither and lute's melody echoes from afar ♫
♫ Plum and willow trees greet the Spring,
as splendor returns this year ♫
♫ Copper battlements shine atop the palace
as songs and dances fill the air and glasses are raised ♫
♫ Idle clouds and drifting duckweed, with a thousand flowers blooming ♫
♫ Time flows gracefully, with moments gathering in the fading mist ♫
♫ Let the years pass, carried by the wind toward long-held desires ♫
♫ If the heart remains as still as water, youth becomes eternal ♫
♫ Still cherishing the moon of my hometown, yearning to meet again ♫
♫ The distant night sky, scattered with stars, reflects the gentle moon ♫
♫ The peony's exquisite beauty fills the fragrant garden ♫
♫ With my heart as a lantern, I fear not the journey through distant mountain paths ♫
♫ The jade flute's music fills a fleeting life with meaning ♫
♫ Time flows gracefully, with moments gathering in the fading mist ♫
♫ Let the years pass, carried by the wind toward long-held desires ♫
♫ If the heart remains as still as water, youth becomes eternal ♫
♫ Still cherishing the moon of my hometown, yearning to meet again ♫
