    [1] "Five Wonders of the West Lake at Night. Part Three" Su Shi. Poem

    Canglong is no longer bull-fighting,

    ? Dongfang Mangjiao Sheng Changgeng;

    ?The fisherman collects the barrel and does not know,

    There is only the sound of wild rice plants as the boat passes by.

    The night is deep, and the sky will dawn.

    Several fishing boats quietly broke into Zhou Da and Du Shiniang's field of vision.

    Du Shiniang asked: "Cheating?"

    Zhou Dao: "You know cheating, it's stealing fish."

    "Do fish still need to be stolen?"

    "I heard that the local government expressly prohibits fishing in the West Lake. Therefore, fishermen came to the lake to steal fish before dawn."

    "Such a spiritual fish must be well protected."

    "Protect an 'egg'! They are 'only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not required to light lamps'."

    "Oh, it's the officials who want to catch fish and sell it for money."

    "The government doesn't have that much time Fishermen only need to pay a fee to the government to apply for a license to fish." Zhou Da feared that it would affect the fishermen's stealing of fish, so he hurriedly rowed his boat to the wild cattail.

    The boat sailed in quietly, and there was a large piece of dark green cattail rippling around, and each cattail raised a candle-like cattail stick.  Some have scattered white fluffy hairs.  This flower, snow-white and snow-white, is high-spirited between the sky and the earth, and seems to want to dye the dark night white.  They are as light as fluff, slightly resting on the wild cattail, indulging in the beautiful scenery without any scruples.

    "Slow down and be gentle, don't scare them" Du Shiniang always felt that even the slightest wind would easily take them away.

    The boat made a slight noise as it passed between the wild cattails, but other than that, there was no sound.

    Du Shiniang said: "It's right among the wild cattail! We can see them, but they can't see us."

    Zhou Da obediently parked the boat between the wild cattails and let the cattails get stuck on the boat to prevent the boat from drifting with the wind.

    Du Shiniang took out the remaining half of the jar of wine and said, "How about we get rid of it tonight? I didn't expect this 'Nuerhong' to be so delicious. I won't be able to drink it when I go home tomorrow~"

    Zhou Da laughed and said: "Why, I'll buy a few jars and take them back as a gift for your dowry, and then I'll respectfully send them to your husband's house"

    "What, want to upgrade and be my father?" Du Shiniang took out a bag of fennel beans[1], opened it, and put it on the deck.

    "Can't you? Old people often say that the elder brother is the father. It's not bad for me to prepare a dowry for the younger sister. I heard that according to the rules of Shaoxing, the bride has to scoop out the first three bowls of 'daughter' from the altar on the wedding day.  The red wine should be presented to the father-in-law, the biological father and my own husband respectively, implying the wish for a healthy life and a prosperous family.¡±

    "Well, you know a lot!"

    "It's a pity, my daughter is red, I'm afraid that if I prepare for it, it will be for nothing!"

    "What do you mean?"

    "Li Jia will not marry into your family."

    "How do you see it?"

    "Li Jia's father is a well-known old 'pedantic master' in Yangzhou. How could he allow his son to marry a prostitute and go home?"

    "Then, why do you dare to marry?"

    "I, I am rebellious~"

    "Li Jia is also rebellious!"

    Zhou laughed and said: "We are both 'rebellious' disciples, but we are very different."

    Du Shiniang asked, "What's the difference?"

    "I'm 'I hope to die of old age and spend wine, and I don't want to bow before the chariots and horses; the dust and horses are enough for the expensive, and the wine cups and flowers are for the poor'."

    "Is this your poem?"

    "I don't have this ability. This is Lao Ji's portrayal of me. Said that I am a true madman, I would rather be poor than follow others; said that I have a true temperament, and dare to treat vulgarity as a romantic."

    Du Shiniang laughed and said, "You two are really 'best friends', one dares to speak, the other dares to listen."

    "Of course, are we close buddies~"

    "Then, isn't Mr. Li Jia also a daring person?"

    "He can be the same as me. His rebelliousness is like Tao Yuanming. Although he doesn't want to bow down for five buckets of rice, he admires Laozhuang, pursues nature, opposes restraint, and longs to live in the tranquility and tranquility of "Peach Blossom Spring".  fight for a better life.¡±

    "This kind of life is also what I want!"

    "However, in the real world, no matter ancient or modern, where can there be such a good situation? In addition, he has such a father, wife and children, and Li Jia's ears are soft, how should he face reality"

    "You only think about him. ButAnd me?  How should I face reality.  "

    "What I mean is that it is impossible for him to marry you home, but he can only use you as an outhouse and live a sneaky life."

    "Then, I am willing too!"

    "The point is, he doesn't have the money to buy you an outer room."

    "Could it be that he is not even willing to spend this money for me?"

    "It's not that he is reluctant to spend money for you. It's his father, who will definitely cut off his money."

    "What can I do?"

    "Well, how about I buy a house for you?"

    Du Shiniang asked in surprise: "You bought a house for me?"

    "Why, can't it?"

    "Aren't you doing it for your own convenience?!"

    "Heh, who do you take me for? Didn't I just say that I am your elder brother, and I want to prepare a dowry for you. How about my wedding room as your dowry?"

    "If you really have the heart, wouldn't it be better if you give me the money and I can buy the house myself? Otherwise, if Li Jia finds out, he will fight with me again"

    "Okay, it's up to you."

    "Then you give me the money now."

    Zhou Da took out a silver note of one hundred fifty taels from his pocket and handed it to Du Shiniang.  Said: "However, how can your mother let you go?!"

    "Ji Gongzi gave me an idea: let me and Li Jia live and eat in Fengyajian, only eat and drink there, and do not do business with the outside world. And, let your brother Zhou come forward and tell your friends not to go there again  'Fengyajian' has taken care of my mother's business After a few months, my mother must be anxious and will agree with me to leave"

    "Lao Ji's trick is amazing! However, this is the only way"

    When the wind picked up, Du Shiniang pulled Zhou Da into the boat tent.  She put down the curtain casually

    [2] "Five Wonders of the West Lake at Night. The Fourth" Su Shi. Poem

    Wild wild cattail is boundless and boundless,

    The lotus blooms at night and smells the wind and dew;

    Gradually see the lights go out of the temple,

    Wait until the moon is dark to see the lake light.

    The boat is small, but the people are strong, and it knocked out of the wild rice paddy in a few strokes.

    The wild wild cattail is boundless, the lake is vast, the lotus blooms at night, and the lake is full of fragrance.  The boat floats freely, cruising in the lotus bushes, which is even more intoxicating

    No wonder someone said: If you want to see the beautiful lake scenery, you have to wait until the moon sets and it gets dark.

    [3] "Five Wonders of the West Lake at Night. The Fifth" Su Shi. Poem

    The lake light is neither a ghost nor a fairy,

    The wind is calm, the waves are quiet and the river is full of light;

    In a moment, go to the temple in twos,

    Just turn a blind eye and be at a loss.

    The lake light before dawn gives people a sense of change and mystery.

    When the weather was calm, the light of the lake was clearly visible; as the boat sailed, the light of the lake seemed to be moving, and then entered the temple; Zhou Da's boat came under the temple, but he couldn't see the lake that seemed to "enter the temple in twos" just now  Light¡­¡­

    "The layout of the hotels in Luzhen is different from other places: they are all a large curved counter on the street, with hot water prepared in the cabinet, which can be used to warm wine at any time. The workers, when they leave work in the afternoon and evening, often spend four dollars a day.  Wen copper coins, buy a bowl of wine - this was more than 20 years ago, and each bowl cost ten yuan, - stand outside the cabinet, drink hot and rest; if you are willing to spend an extra penny, you can  You can buy a plate of boiled bamboo shoots with salt, or fennel beans, as an accompaniment to wine.
