    East Lake is the only lake around Chengdu, known as the "Lung of Chengdu".  Over the years, it has been playing the role of purifying the air, regulating the temperature and balancing the ecology for this international metropolis.  She faces the Fu River in the west and the Sha River in the south, opening up a wonderful scene of "the lake and the sky are the same color" for this ancient city.

    [1] "Swallows lead Yingying to attract willows and lead way" [1] Su Xiaoxiao. Poetry

    Although the East Lake in the Yuan Dynasty was beautiful, it had not been artificially developed, and the mountain roads were winding and circuitous, so it was very hard to visit.

    But it is much more convenient for Su Xiaoya to have the oily car that Ji Xu gave her.

    She often went to visit her mother in this pony carriage, and sometimes went directly to East Lake from Tanhua Lane.  The car is dexterous, and the people are beautiful, walking through the smoke and clouds, like a goddess descending to earth.

    Pedestrians along the road talked and wondered, but couldn't guess what kind of character she was.

    Su Xiaoya acted like no one else was around, and sang loudly all the way:

    "The swallows lead the warblers and the willows lead the way,

    Zhangtai directly to East Lake;

    Spring flowers and autumn moon are like visiting each other,

    The concubine who lives in Huanhua is surnamed Su.  "

    Su Xiaoya's reputation quickly spread. Just being able to compose poems was already rare at that time, let alone a beautiful woman, which was even rarer.  The dual identities of a talented woman and a beautiful woman make Su Xiaoya highly sought after-it's hard for her not to be popular!

    Many men are honored to be able to sit and talk with her.  The luxurious son and the Kejia squire came here especially, and the secluded Huanhua River suddenly became lively.

    Xiaoya originally wanted to make friends through poetry, and find a confidant who loves mountains and rivers to marry, so that her mother can escape the sea of ??suffering earlier.  I don't want the visitors to be mostly embroidered pillows, rotten straw and well-dressed fools, who will be ridiculed by Su Xiaoya in all likelihood.

    Zhen You, a wealthy businessman from Qiongzhou [now Qionglai], came to settle in Chengdu. Hearing about Su Xiaoya's beauty and talent, he visited several times and offered to marry Xiaoya as his concubine with a thousand dollars, but she also refused.

    Zhen You lost face, and said harshly: "You have talent and appearance, and I have wealth, so be careful if you offend me!"

    Her mother persuaded her: "You might as well find a rich and noble family to marry, and you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

    But Xiaoya said: "The acquaintance of people is valued in the heart, not in the wealth?! What's more, I love mountains and rivers. If I enter a golden house, wouldn't I be sitting in the well and looking at the sky from now on!"

    [2] "Plucking Lotus Seeds. Han Ou Xianglian Ten Hectares of Pit" Huangfu Song. Ci

    The fragrance of Han Ou is even ten hectares deep,

    Sister-in-law is too late to pick lotus;

    Come late to get water and wet the bow of the boat,

    Take off the red dress and wrap the duck.

    Mid-Autumn Festival is the season for picking lotus.

    The boat is rippling among the lotus leaves, and those lotus flowers that bloom late are even more beautiful.

    Su Xiaoya is wearing a light red dress, which complements these late-blooming flowers.  A pair of bright wrists are more and more jade-like against the backdrop of the green lotus leaves.  She has a light pink skirt, and she is more delicate than a flower. She picks a branch of red lotus and holds it in her arms like a girl's dream.

    The flowers are rich and fragrant, connecting the ten miles of Huitang into one piece.  Going back, carrying a full of beauty, leaving behind the beautiful shadow of a pond

    A group of lotus picking girls paddled and rowed, and followed Su Xiaoya out of the pond. They came to the lake and began to unload the picked lotus seeds on the shore.

    Su Xiaoya stood on the bow of the boat and sang "Jiangnan" by the Han Yuefu loudly. The lingering lingering sound expressed the beautiful dreams of the girls——

    Lead by Su Xiaoya:

    "In the south of the Yangtze River, you can pick lotus, lotus leaves and He Tiantian."

    The lotus picking girls sang together:

    "Fish playing among the lotus leaves."

    Su Xiaoya sang:

    "Fish plays with lotus leaf east, fish plays with lotus leaf west."

    The girl picking lotus chorus:

    "Fish playing with lotus leaves to the south, fish playing with lotus leaves to the north."

    Su Xiaoya usually hides in a deep boudoir, but now she enters the lotus pond, the lotus leaves lined up seem to separate her from the shackles of the world, and the clear water ripples open her girl's heart even more.

    After the song was sung, Su Xiaoya started teasing the lake again.

    She sat on the side of the boat, fetching water with her bare feet.  When it came to Xingtou, the boat was also drenched with water.  Her cute and naive attitude made all the lotus picking girls burst into laughter.  The more this was the case, the more comfortable Xiaoya became. She even took off her red dress and, together with Wan'er, snatched up the ducklings in the pond

    The girls were having fun, and a group of fashionable men and women followed the beautiful singing to find them.

    The maid Wan'er was standing at the bow of the boat with a penny, seeing that this group of people were not good people, she picked up the penny to push the boat away.

    But it was too late, four of the sons had already rushed to the side of the boat, grabbed the penny and scrambled to climb onto the boat.

    At this time, the picking in the lakeThe girls were enraged, they grabbed the lotus pods and threw them at the guys together, making the men scream.

    "These Sichuan girls are really wild!"

    "Are these all women?

    The sons were so frightened that they had to retreat from the boat.

    Wan'er wanted to take the opportunity to row the boat away, but they held the boat rope and grabbed the penny to prevent the boat from being driven away.  Wan'er threw the penny, pinched her waist and said angrily: "Who are you, dare to climb onto the girl's boat in broad daylight?"

    One of the sons said: "My surname is Jia, and my name is Zhengli; they are all surnamed Zhou, and they are brothersWe are all gentlemen from the south of the Yangtze RiverYour lady is Su Xiaoya! We have heard about the name for a long time, and we want to visit  "

    Wan'er said: "You can't get on the boat!"

    The Zhou family brothers asked: "Why can't we get in?"

    Wan'er said: "Although you are husbands, your stomachs are empty; my young lady is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Which of you can compare to her, are you qualified to board the boat?"

    When Jia Zhengli heard this, he patted his chest and said: "You have heard that there are many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. We can also play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Oh! How dare you underestimate us. Come on, bring their boats ashore.  , let's try it out."

    Several servants yelled, rushed to the lake, pulled the boat, and dragged it to the shore.

    Seeing this, Su Xiaoya hurried out of the cabin door, came to the bow, raised her eyebrows and said, "Slow down! If you want me to treat guests, tell the servant to stop."

    When Jia Zhengli heard this, he immediately complied.

    Su Xiaoya said: "Although my family is poor, I can't be humiliated by power, and I can't be taken away by power. If you want me to treat guests, you must know the rules of hospitality."

    "What are the rules, I hope Miss Su will point it out."

    Su Xiaoya tilted her head and said: "If you want me to treat guests, I will treat them with courtesy, and I will win with my talents."

    Jia Zhengli paused for a moment with the Zhou brothers, "Why?"

    "Didn't Mr. Jia just say that all the ministers are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

    "That's right. Although my surname is Jia, I have real talents and learning. Isn't it just a match for me, reciting a poem"

    "Young Master Jia, do you want to pair couplets?"

    "It will be all right."

    "What's the right way?"

    "I will make an upper line. If you can match the lower line, you will win; if you can't, then I will win."

    "What if you win? So what if you lose?"

    "If you win, we will leave immediately; if you lose, you have to agree to me," he smiled strangely, "Be a 'godsister'"

    When I heard "god sister" on Wednesday, I immediately laughed knowingly and said, "I'll come first!"

    He saw a shepherd boy leading a big cow to watch the fun, and a calf followed behind the big cow.  Then he said: "Da Niu Xiao Niu, the country wild ox cubs guard the stupid ox."

    Su Xiaoya immediately confronted each other after hearing this, and said: "New books and old books, the sour scholars on the lake read dead books."

    When Jia Zhengli heard this, he was immediately frightened. Su Xiaoya is a talented woman, and she really deserves her reputation.  Since the couplets are out, and the couplets are impeccable, I have no choice but to let Su Xiaoya go.

    Seeing Su Xiaoya get on the bridge, Jia Zhengli had an idea and said: "There is a bridge with wood, and a bridge without wood. If you subtract the wood on the side of the bridge, and add a girl, you will become Jiao. Xiaojiao is on the bridge.  Aijiao."

    This is obviously a molestation, he thinks that Su Xiaoya must be too embarrassed to make a second line, so she can only be her own "god sister".

    However, Su Xiaoya raised her head, and immediately wrote the second couplet: "With rice, it is grain, without rice, it is good. If you subtract the rice besides the grain, and you add a girl, you are the mother. The old lady is on the bridge, and the child must not miss her mother!"

    When Jia Zhengli heard it, he knew that he had been scolded—he wanted to let her be a godsister, but now he became a godmother.  Mr. Jia's face is ashamed like a persimmon tree on the shore, it's blushing

    Notes

    [1] Su Xiaoxiao's original poem is as follows:

    Swallows attract warblers and willows, and Zhangtai goes directly to the West Lake; spring flowers and autumn moons visit each other, and my concubine surnamed Su lives in Xiling.

    Zhangtai is the name of the Li Palace (that is, the other palace) built by King Qin in the south of the Wei River during the Warring States Period.  He also called a small street near Zhangtai "Zhangtai".  Because there were many brothels on Zhangtai Street at that time, Zhangtai became another name for brothels.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
