be loyal and faithful

claim ties of blood or friendship(profess to be a close relative or an old friend of somebody)

lustre lent to a humble house

zip across the horizon

with white hair and white eyebrows

a strong gale and a torrential downpour

Husband tore himself away from his wife.

poor but not flattering

The wife assumes authority in the home.

put on mourning apparel

In the end things will mend.

not to show off one's talent

quick-fried dragon and roasted phoenix

be frightened away(flee helter-skelter)

smile through tears

climb mountains and cross ranges(scramble up the hills)

Wear one's heart on one's sleeve

Open one's heart to a person

Break away from state and family

carrying one's pipa to another boat
