Seeing off Xin Jian at Furong Mansion

Language: English after the Chinese (中文)

Cold rain drizzles into the ground of the Wu during the night,
I see you off early in the morning and feel so sad facing the Mountains in the Chu area alone.
If relatives and friends are asking about me when you arrive in Luoyang,
- Just tell them that my heart is still as clear and innocent as the ice in the jade kettle.
