vessels of grain at ancestral temple

The lost wealth is recovered.

stick to one's wickedness and refuse to reform

threshold worn low by visitors (an endless flow of visitors)

disaster and happiness do not follow rules (idiom); future blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable

be wronged on a false charge(suffer an iniquitous wrong)

deeply affect sb.'s emotions

perspire all over one's face(sweat like a trooper)

Mettlesome

the tiger's lair and the dragon's den(a hazardous spot)

faintly

swarthy(very black in appearance)

straighten the eyebrow and raise the eyes

share the same sentiments and fate(be bound together by common interests)

boost each other(put up placards for each other)

explain repeatedly

bribe openly(commit briberies undisguisedly)

not care a cent(not care a doit; not care a hoot; not care a pin)

Prone

Christmas comes but once a year.(Every day is not Sunday.)
