I'm reading between the scrawny lines of Yunmeng's worst calligraphy!

There's no shame in attempting the impossibility of a courtship! Don't let your pox marks and vicious teeth get in the way of true love.

We're all working to align the stars in that direction, Jiang Cheng. Some corners of heaven are just putting up a bit of a fight.

Sorry, sorry. Don't heed me. What do I know? My only prospect is a donkey, and I'll tell you plainly — it's got better taste than to settle.

Ah, young master, young master, your rice bowl's never gone empty.

A fig's worth its weight in silver, some days.

Did you change his swaddling?

You see, then? Maternal.

And you, threatening to break his legs. As if you'd know which bone to start with.
