To Ayu, Zhixu.
Xie Xun's letters home were always in his unique style, delighting in sharing amusing anecdotes from Ningzhou with Fengyu. For instance, he mentioned catching a six-pound fish in the Shaling River. He visited Qianling Town, a prominent stronghold of the Beiman, remarking how their six-year-olds were taller than ten-year-olds in Ningzhou City. He further shared that many nomadic families from Ningzhou had now settled in Beiman and lived in relative harmony. He said Grandmaster Zhang had been driven out of the State Mansion by Second Brother. Grandmaster Zhang sought him out numerous times, hoping for reconciliation, but Xie Xun bluntly joked that were it not for the Grandmaster's advanced age, he would have already thrown a punch, adding that he hoped not to become such a detestable old man himself in fifty years.
