Song Jia stops in front of a huge gate. In front of it, the statues of two wooden dragons were guarding the entrance. The place was surrounded by peach and plum orchards.
Suddenly a strong but warm wind blows some petals from the trees and they fall on Song Jia's head. He tries to get them down from his hair but he doesn't succeed.
"Well, maybe I look prettier this way! Even the flowers love me! So funny!!!" (Song Jia)
He walks inside and asks where the new scholar stays but he gets no satisfactory answer.
Actually, the new scholar has left the pavilion a day before and did not return back yet. He only left a note for the magistrate's son.
"Miss, can I see the note?" (Song Jia)
" I am sorry Mr but is for the son of the magistrate. I can't give it to someone else." (miss)
"I am a servant from the magistrate's house, my master sent me here to buy books from the scholar. Can I see it now?" (Song Jia)
"How do I know that you're his servant? Prove it!" (miss)
He gets out a servant tablet and shows it to the young lady.
"This proves that I am working in the Song house. Are you satisfied now?" (Song Jia)
"Fine, you are who you say you are! Take it and give it to your young master!" (miss)
"Ok. (inside his mind: what a grumpy woman!)" (Song Jia)
After taking the letter, he goes out and opens it.
The letter says: "Young Master, I am very grateful for your appreciation. If you still wish to meet me, wait for me on the first day with full moon, near the Guangxi street. Your faithful scholar!"
"The first day with full moon! Full moon in April. It should be today. He wants us to meet tonight! Somewhere near the Guangxi street. What the hell is he doing in that place? Well, who knows! I will find out sooner or later." (Song Jia)
Because he couldn't accomplish his goal, our young master returns to the mansion.
Fei Yi greets him.
"Young master, are you already back? What happened, he turned you down again?" (Fei Yi)
"Not really. He wasn't at the Grand Blossom Pavilion at that moment. He only left a note in case that I search of him again. This note!" (Song Jia)
Fei Yi takes the paper and reads it.
"He wants to meet you tonight on Guangxi street?Why there and why tonight? That's an ill-famed place! Are you sure that he personally wrote this note?" (Fei Yi)
"It has his signature! That's the only prove. I don't know, how should I know?" (Song Jia)
"Do you intent to go young master?" (Fei Yi)
"Well, yes! I waited for this moment a long time. I can't give up now!" (Song Jia)
"Then, I am coming with you!" (Fei Yi)
"Well, maybe I should accept your offer this time! In case that someone sets a trap for me." (Song Jia)
"It seems that my young master is not a fool!"( Fei Yi)
The sun sets down and the night covers the scenery.
Soon, the full moon will show up to radiate the path. There's only one way, to follow it.
