Having lost my parents in early childhood, I was blessed to be raised by my grandmother. For her boundless grace, I am eternally indebted and have never forgotten.
Now, in her advanced years, she often holds her floral handbook, her dreams and spirit bound to the flowers of Chang'an.
It is said that upon the northern precipice, a rare lotus grows, bearing the likeness of a Luoyang peony. If I can procure it, it may perhaps ease the ache of her exile.
I shall be gone for a span of five to ten days. May I impose upon you, Master Liu Ye, to attend to Grandmother in my absence.
