    ?

    Early this morning, Bu Feiyan followed Wei Wang's family to the bank of Jindong Lake.

    [1] "Dawn leaving Jingci Temple to send Lin Zifang off" by Yang Wanli. Poem

    ? After all, West Lake [1] in mid-June,

    The scenery is not the same as the four seasons;

    ? Connecting to the infinite green of the lotus leaves in the sky,

    The lotus in Yingri is red in a different way.

    The East Lake lotus in June is different from other seasons.

    The verdant lotus leaves spread out layer by layer, connecting with the blue sky.  Farewell to the budding lotus, blooming with a beautiful smile, under the breeze, dancing with emerald skirts, Tingting's charming and reserved figure, like a graceful girl in the mist,  I am gently reciting the poem "Falling the lotus beads and breaking them into pieces" [2].

    And the beautiful branches all show you the summer style and the charm of Shu.

    [2] "Five Poems of Yue Nv Poetry. Part 2" Li Bai. Poem

    The sons and daughters of Changgan Wu, with bright eyebrows and crescent moons;

    The feet on the clogs are like frost, and no crow's socks are worn.

    Wu Er[3] is so fair, so good for boating drama;

    ? Show your eyes and throw your heart, and fold flowers to tune travelers.

    Girls from the Shu region can be seen everywhere in the water and on the shore of the lake.

    Their eyebrows are delicate, and they are as delicate and beautiful as the bright moon.  Especially on the wooden clogs, those little feet without socks are as fine and white as frost.

    They are lively and active by nature, and they like to play boating.

    Whenever the lotus is in full bloom, they will paddle a boat and shuttle among the flowers.  You can't tell the delicate, white and tender beauty, which is a flower and which is a person.

    A Sichuan girl with a generous temperament.

    When rowing a boat, they would occasionally look at the guests on the water or in the boat, or tease each other with folded flower branches

    [3] "Plucking Lotus Song" Wang Changling. Poem

    The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color,

    Hibiscus opens to both sides of the face;

    Into the pool can not be seen,

    Hearing the song, he felt someone coming.

    Su Xiaoya was sitting in the boat, and the maid Wan'er was rowing the boat.

    The two of them walked among the flowers, and their green skirts blended into the lotus leaves, as if they were of the same color; their pink faces were hidden among the blooming lotus flowers, reflecting each other.

    After a while, the two of them disappeared into the lotus pond. When they heard singing coming from a distance, they realized that their small painting boat was approaching the west bank of the East Lake.

    The fine wind blows gently, wrinkling the emerald green lake water, and opening the girl's heart

    [4] "Plucking Lotus Seeds. The Boat Moves the Lake, Shining in Autumn" Huangfu Song. Poem

    ?The boat is moving, the lake is shining brightly in autumn,

    ? Greedy to see young people believe in boats;

    ? Tossing lotus seeds across water for no reason,

    Yao is known to be ashamed for half a day.

    Suddenly, Su Xiaoya asked Guo Wan'er to swing the paddle, and she rowed towards a young man in a white brocade robe on the bank as if possessed.

    When she was approaching the shore, she stared at the handsome young man in a daze, and let the boat drift with the waves.

    Wan'er was really surprised by Su Xiaoya's bold and innocent "greedy" and that kind of infatuated and naive attitude of "trusting the boat".

    Su Xiaoya said to Wan'er beside her, "Hurry up and pick some lotus seeds [Lianzi] for me."

    "What are you doinghow can there be lotus seeds now?" Wan'er managed to find a few lotus seeds and put them on the boat.

    For no reason, Xiaoya grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and threw them at the boy on the bank who "watched" her.

    This fling full of banter, provocation and admiration is really too bold, not only disregarding the etiquette of the world, but even the restraint that a girl should have.

    Su Xiaoya suddenly felt that the person on the shore saw her teasing act of tossing lotus seeds just now, and only then did she feel embarrassed!

    She blushed, lowered her head, and was ashamed for a long time, and asked the maid Wan'er: "Did the lotus seeds hit? Is he angry or happy? What does he mean?"

    Xiaoya blamed herself in her heart for throwing lotus seeds at people for "no reason" for being too reckless

    [5] "Magnolia. Pond with green water and warm wind" Yan Shu. Poetry

    The pond water is green and the wind is slightly warm,

    Remember when Yu Zhen first met;

    The resounding rhyme of the song is resounding,

    Into the broken dance, the red waist is spinning around.

    I don't know if it's because of the hot heart or the hot weather, but Xiaoya's glowing red face is covered with beads of sweat.

    A gust of wind blew by, bringing a slight warmth, and blowing the already rippling lake water.

    Xiaoya had no choice but to pretend to be looking at the flowers, wanting to prove to others that the lotus throwing [love] just now was unintentional.  But I thought in my heart: hisHis gaze was fixed on me, as if his fiery gaze had roasted his face into the color of a lotus flower.

    "Did you notice that man was staring at me?" Xiaoya asked Wan'er who was rowing.

    "You hit someone with lotus seeds, can they not look at you?"

    "Then, have you seen what he looks like?"

    "I've already seen it clearly."

    "Then does he look good?" Xiaoya asked anxiously.

    "That person looks like" Wan'er stretched her intentionally.

    Su Xiaoya stomped her feet anxiously, and asked, "How is it? Tell me quickly!"

    Wan'er teased her and said, "Anyway, I look pretty, who knows if you like it or not."

    Su Xiaoya said shyly: "There are so many people here, I'm not ashamed to look at him."

    "Where did the boldness go?"

    "Then you didn't stop me from ordering just now." Su Xiaoya complained.

    "Your madness is coming up, who can stop it!"

    "Then what should I do now?"

    "Sing and dance to him!"

    [6] "Shangxie" Han Yuefu. Folk Song

    Wan'er played the guqin, and Xiaoya danced on the bow of the boat without any haste. They sang a folk song from "Han Yuefu":

    "The evil!

    I want to get to know you,

    Longevity is endless.

    There are no hills in the mountains, and the rivers are exhausted.

    Winter thunder shakes, summer rains and snows.

    The heaven and the earth are united, but you dare to break with the king!  "

    Notes

    [1] West Lake

    There are many lakes named West Lake in China, the most famous of which is Hangzhou West Lake.

    ?Hangzhou West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the lake, Baidi, Sudi, Yanggongdi and Zhaogongdidivide the lake into several water surfaces.  The outline of the West Lake is nearly oval.  The natural surface water sources of the lake are Jinsha Stream, Longhong Stream, Chishan Stream (Huiyin Stream) and Changqiao Stream.

    There are more than 100 scenic spots in Hangzhou West Lake, including "Ten Scenes of West Lake", "Ten Scenes of New West Lake", "Three Reviews of Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake", such as Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Qianwang Temple, Jingci Temple, Su Xiaoxiao  Attractions such as tombs.

    Since ancient times, folklore and fairy tales such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and "Su Xiaoxiao" have been circulating in West Lake.  The "Meeting on the Broken Bridge" and "The White Snake is crushed by the Leifeng Pagoda" in the Legend of the White Snake are closely related to the Ten Scenes of the West Lake.

    According to legend, the Jade Dragon and Jinfeng in the sky found a piece of white jade on the fairy island beside the Milky Way.  They pondered together for many years, and the white jade became a bright pearl. Wherever the light of this orb shines, the trees there will be evergreen and the flowers will bloom.  But later the orb was discovered by the queen mother, who sent heavenly soldiers and generals to snatch the orb away.  Yulong and Jinfeng rushed to get the pearl, but the Queen Mother refused, so a fight broke out. As soon as the Queen Mother let go, the pearl fell to the world and turned into the sparkling West Lake.  Yulong and Jinfeng also descended to the earth and became Yulong Mountain (that is, Jade Emperor Mountain) and Phoenix Mountain.

    For Yang Wanli's poems explained in this book, the "West Lake" in the poem can be changed to "East Lake", which is more in line with the storyline in the book.

    [2] "Yuwen Chao Shangshu's Nephew Cui Yu Siye's Sun Shangshu's Son Returns to Zhengjianqian Lake" Tang Dynasty Du Fu

    The customs of the suburbs are long and quiet, and the wild waters come more and more in spring; the brocade mats are flooded and return to the Pu, and the Gejin is not returned to the boat.

    Zundang Xiaqi is light and scattered, and the lotus beads are broken but round; not only Xichi returns to drunk, but you look at Zheng Gu to make a fortune.

    [3] Wu Er

    (1) A young man in Wudi.

    "Book of Jin. Biography of Yin Yi. Xia Tong": "Chong (Jia Chong) and others scattered and said: 'This Wu'er is a wooden man with a stone heart'."

    The second poem of "He Wang Benzhong Zhitai Shushi" written by Sadu in the Yuan Dynasty: "Today, I am short-clothed and whip a thin horse, and my peers say that I am admitted to the imperial examination; recently Zeng Yezhi went to the South Stage and learned the song of Wuer Baizhu."

    (2) A contemptuous term for Wu people.

    ?Northern Wei Dynasty. Yang Xuanzhi's "Luoyang Jialan Ji. Jingning Temple": "At that time, the imperial court wanted to recruit Huai's deserted clothes, and treated Wu'er very generously. Those who crossed the river in their clothes were all in the top position."

    Li Bai's "Wu'er" in "Yue Nu Ci" refers to girls from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it is better to change "Wu" to "Shu" in this book to better express the meaning.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
