Qi prince house in ordinary see Cui Jiu hall before several times listen Real be river south good landscape Fall blossom season again meet you
In Prince Qi's mansion house, I met you often, By Cui Jiu's hall, I heard you several times. Truly the landscape south of the river is good, I meet you again in the season of falling blossom.
