Before he leaves, the wife gives him encouragement by saying that when he shoots a big goose she will cook it to make a fine meal, and together they can enjoy delicious food and good wine. They will grow old together as harmoniously as the music of the qin and se (two zither-like instruments) playing together--what a peaceful and wonderful life!
出門前，妻子體貼的鼓舞丈夫，等他射下大雁，她會將之煮成佳餚，兩人共享美食好酒，如琴瑟般共鳴和諧，白頭到老，真是安寧而美好的生活啊！
