Wei Ying,
I am glad to hear you are well.
Lotus Pier seems quite lovely. It suits you. However, I do not think that Shufu will allow me to visit you there.
Cloud Recesses has been much more peaceful since you left. No one bothers me anymore. My schedule has not changed. I will endeavour to keep you informed should any unexpected alterations occur.
The paintings you sent were very skilfully drawn. Your Shijie is indeed very beautiful.
I imagine you must have laughed quite hard at your poor shidi when the incident with the turtle occurred.
I am pleased to hear you did not eat the bunnies.
The bunnies you gave me are living happily in the back meadows. Xiongzhang found them some friends, so now there are even more of them.
I hope your high spirits and good health continue.
Your friend,
Lan Zhan
