Now, Li Wenlong picked the thing up and took it into the house to look at it. It was a little rolled-up packet. He opened it: inside was a pair of solid gold earrings, and with them three notes. Li Wenlong looked. The first was a quatrain in lines of seven characters, and it read:

难割难舍甚牵连，云雨归来梦里欢。

學生至此無別事，特意前來送墜環。

This humble student comes on no other errand, you see —only to bring you earrings, as a gift from me.
