近试上张水部-To the Lord Examiner on the Eve of Examination
近试上张水部
朱庆余
洞房昨夜停红烛，待晓堂前拜舅姑。
妆罢低声问夫婿，画眉深浅入时无？
To the Lord Examiner on the Eve of Examination
Zhu Qinyu
Last night in the nuptial chamber went out red candles all；
At dawn before the groom’s parents the couple’ll on their knees fall.
Having dressed up， she in a low voice asks her mate a question
Whether her painting of brows is of the latest fashion.
