Source text - Chinese 庆余年 第二卷 在京都 第十八章 缘来是她
有风自南来，飞蓬入我怀。
怀中花骨朵，原为君子开。
琴瑟难相伴，岁月催人来。
投我木瓜者，报以琼琚牌。

听见这句很新鲜的俏皮话，这位姑娘担忧的眼神中闪过一丝笑意。
范闲微笑望着她，轻声说道：“还要在里面藏着吗？”
姑娘家微羞摇了摇头。
正在这个时候，外面传来了找人的声音：“小姐，您又跑哪儿去了？”白衣女子容颜一黯，知道自己要走了。
范闲也知道肯定是来找她的，看着她的神情，心中无由升起一股失落感，似乎害怕今天分离之后，再也无法找到这位姑娘，微急问道：“明天你还来吗？”
Translation - English Qingyunian Volume - 2 (In Jingdu) - Chapter 18 (Predestined Relationship with Her)
With wind from the South, the bitter fleabane comes into my arms.
The flower bud blossoms in my arms , it blossoms for a gentleman like you.
The couple are hard to get old together, time and tide wait for no man.
If you send me a pawpaw, I will return you a fine jade.
—————————————————————
Hearing the fresh witty remark, a smile flashed across the worried eyes of the girl.
Fan Xian looked at her with a smile and said softly, “ Still hidden inside?”
The girl shook her head shyly.
Meanwhile, there came a voice outside, “ Lady, where are you?” The girl in white looked pale immediately, knowing that she had to leave.
Fan Xian also knew that someone outside must be looking for her. Looking at her expression, a sense of loss arose in his heart, fearing that he could not find the girl any more after departure today. So he asked anxiously, “ Will you come tomorrow?”
She shook her head with dim expression.
“ Are you a member of the noble family in the main hall?” Fan Xian asked tentatively.
The girl thought and smiled without answering him. She came out from a long altar and ran out like the wind. Before stepping out of the gate of the temple, she looked back at Fanxian and cast her eyes on the chicken leg in her hand. She stuck out her tongue in a lovely manner, thinking if she must be blamed if seen by her uncle.
Her eyes roll around. She ran back and gave the chicken leg to the hand of Fan Xian. Then she ran out of the gate of the temple smiling and waving his hand.
She never came back.
……
……
Fan Xian was half kneeling on the rush cushion, confirming that what he saw previously was not fairy sent by god. Looking down at the chicken leg in his hand, he giggled. He made a decision in his mind that he must find the girl in the capital city no matter how deep he shall dig up the street. He was thinking to himself, “ if the girl is not betrothed to any man.......Oh no, even she has an engagement with another bad bastard, I'd have to grab her back !”
When he walked out of the gate of the temple with an oily chicken leg in his hand, he saw a line of carriages approaching the east. He knew that the girl in white must be in one of the carriage.
———————————————————————
The setting sun was shinning in the green trees on both sides of the road so that the leaves seemed to be burning.
Fan Xian raised the chicken leg and bite it subconsciously. Suddenly he thought the chicken leg was bitten wit the girl's sweet lips, his heart also burnt up .
"Chicken leg, chicken leg, bitten by that girl, you are really the happiest chicken leg in the world.”
He went to the center of the capital city with a smile. With great appreciation toward the little child who ate the [string of candied haws , he took his time even though he couldn’t find his way back to Fan Mansion. The person who he really should give thanks to was the blind who was not far behind him. The blind was holding a bamboo stick and disappeared in the twilight.
Gong Qu’s mood was not good as Fan Xian. He came out with the master for relaxation. Unexpectedly, there were many trouble issues on the way. Firstly, an unknown teenager ran through the secret blockade of his own bodyguard and ran into the Qing temple. Secondly, the little girl slipped to the side hall in the eye of the public. “ I don't know what’s the use of those old mama ?” he was thinking.
However, he had ways to vent his resentment because the master always looked gloomy and seemed very angry. It seemed that the encrypted letter had something that made him unhappy.
“Gong Dian.” cried coldly the nobleman in the carriage, who always did not love sitting in a sedan chair since twenty years ago , “ If Chen Pingping still does not want to come back, you must let your guys catch her back.”
“ Yes.” Gong Dian took order but secretly complained in his mind, thinking “ who can do the job well?”
Noticing the carriage being quiet, Gong Dian secretly signed with a relief and relaxed a bit. Turning round to see those dejected guards behind, he burst into anger. The guards hidden secretly in the outside of the Qing temple were made faint and unconscious by someone. Who got them unconscious? It was unknown !
Therefore, the teenager could enter the heavily-guarded Qing Temple very easily.
Gong Dian frowned, wondering who had such ability to get the eight guards unconscious at the same time silently . Only four masters can have such ability! If .......is he assassin ? ........His heart was seized with fear and he dared not to continue his mission. He knew that a secret investigation will be done after he came back.
The carriage at the end of the procession, of which the window was decorated with elegant flowers, was different from the other carriages. The girl in white who gazed at Fan Xian with embarrassment in Qing Temple was now half leaning on the seat. With a faint smile on her labial angles, she seemed to be recalling.
The maid beside her got relaxed after seeing her ladyship was so happy. The maid asked interestingly, “ Lady, what good things happened today?”
The girl smiled and said: "every time I went out with my uncle, I felt so happy. At least it’s better than stay in the dismal room .”
The maid tooted her mouth and said, “ But the imperial physician said you cannot be blown by the wind due to the disease.”
On hearing the word “disease”, the girl got dismal and desolate. When thinking of the handsome young man she met previously , she felt better. She thought to herself, “ I was ill-fated and cannot live long for many days. Should I be happy or unhappy to meet that man?”
Then she thought of the rumor that she had been involved and the aristocrat of Fan Mansion. Even though the mother opposed , and the father seem to oppose, too, but ...... Who can disobey uncle? Thinking about this, she got depressed. With a kind of sweetness in her chest, she pulled a white handkerchief to cover her lips.
After several coughs, the handkerchief was dotted with a little bit of blood.
The maid was in panic when seeing the blood, and said with a crying voice, “split blood again, How could that be good?”
With a faint smile, the girl recalled what the teenager said, and chuckled: “ So what? Split, split, I’ve been used to it naturally. “
“Ah !” The maid signed with a surprise, having no ideas what it means and believing that the lady was mentally disturbed with sickness.
——————————————————————————
It was night that Fan Xian came back to Fan Mansion in a fluster. He made a secret decision that he must tie the official belt onto his waist when he went out next time.
It was time to have dinner now and four people were waiting for him at the table. He felt sorry but the Count Sinan was expressionless and Mrs. Liu smiled gently with no acrimonious manner at all.
He explained with a few words. Fan Ruoruo burst into laughter , thinking her older brother was too fool. Even if he could not find his own carriage, it would be better to hire one in carriage rental agency. Fan Xian never thought of the carriage at all, so he had to endure the ridicule of Fan Sizhe.
After the meal, the a family of four began to play a kind of card game called “Madiao” with happiness. Just like an accountant, Fan Sizhe holding a counting frame while looking beside, he was helping everybody count.
A trace of sadness flashed through the eyes of Mrs. Liu. Bearing the resentment for her son’s failure to become successful, She chatted with Fan Xian with a smile.
