Li Bai went happily after seeing the letter. When he arrived in Jingxian County, Li Bai asked Wang Lun where the Taoyuan Restaurant was. Wang Lun replied: "Peach Blossom is the name of Tanshui, Wanjia is the owner of the shop whose surname is Wan, and there is no Wanjia Hotel." Li Bai laughed. On the day Li Bai was leaving, Wang Lun gave Li Bai horses and silk, and sent his servants to deliver them to the ship. After giving a farewell banquet at home, Li Bai boarded the boat. As the boat was about to leave the shore, he suddenly heard a burst of singing. Li Bai looked back and saw Wang Lun and many villagers walking on the shore singing to see him off.
