Wong Tai Sin lot 47 of 100
Lu Su demands Jingzhou
Middling (中平). Grade as given on the named web transcriptions. We have not seen it on a temple printing, and we do not know that the temple prints one.
遙遙千里來西蜀
欲問荊州那日還
劉備不言聲淚下
自思無策轉吳間
From a thousand miles away he comes to Shu in the west,
to ask on what day Jingzhou will be returned.
Liu Bei says nothing, and tears fall.
Thinking he has no plan, he turns back toward Wu.
What this lot says
A demand is made, and the answer is silence and tears rather than a yes or a no. The envoy goes home with nothing settled.
It is a middling lot about a request that gets no clear answer. Read it as a note to allow for delay.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
