Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Paradise of Bamboo Springs
"Wakazakura, is the creek pavilion a pavilion?"
Su Xiaoliu and Wakazakura walked along the stone path by the water of the pond towards the "Xiaoxi Pavilion" that Duanhua said, and Su Xiaoliu didn't know the name of this place, so he asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No, Sixth Master," Wakazakura explained as she walked, "It's a very quiet and elegant courtyard, and because there is a pavilion in the courtyard, that's why it's named after the pavilion." ”
"Then," Su Xiaoliu asked again, "what's going on with Xiaoxi?" Could it be that there is a stream that passes through that yard? Wouldn't that be able to make tea and drink it with stream water? ”
Only then did Sakura understand that Su Xiaoliu had misunderstood the word "Xiaoxi", and explained again: "It's not the stream, it's 'Xiaoxi', the grass is the Xiao, and the water is the tide." Shino, refers to the thin bamboo, tide, naturally refers to the tide! ”
"Tide?" Su Xiaoliuqi said, "Isn't the tide the meaning of the rising tide of the sea?" Could it be that there will be a high tide in this? Wouldn't that be dangerous, if we slept soundly at night, and suddenly the tide rose, and we drowned? ”
"The sixth master is really good at laughing," Ruo Sakura covered her mouth and smiled, "Actually, this entire Huiyuan Garden is imitating the scenery of the Jiangnan garden, and the Xiaoxi Pavilion also has the meaning of imitating the tide of Qiantang, but it is just to take its artistic conception, how can the sixth master think like that, if it is such a big tide, the entire palace must not be flooded!" ”
As she walked, Wakazakura explained to Su Xiaoliu the allusions and history of this Huiyuan Garden and Shinoxi Pavilion.
The location of Prince Zheng's mansion was the residence of Yao Guangxiao, a famous monk who planned the "Battle of Jingyan" for Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Zilharang ruled with the then "Imperial Uncle Regent" Dolgon, and the power was for a while, so the specifications of the palace were relatively high.
At that time, the establishment of Prince Zheng's palace was extravagant and vast, and the palace foundation was built in accordance with the regulations of the palace, so Zilharang was also punished by the imperial court. However, after Dolgon died of illness and Emperor Shunzhi took power, in order to win over the old ministers, the overbuilt buildings of the palace were not completely demolished. Therefore, among the many palaces in Beijing, Prince Zheng's Mansion is the most majestic and majestic among them.
The garden of the palace "Hui Garden" was expanded on the basis of the original garden by the eighth Prince Zheng Depei during the Qianlong period. It is rumored that the scenery in Huiyuan is to invite the famous dramatist Li Yu to preside over the construction of the building, Li Yu at that time did not want to eat the Qing Zhilu, so the "great hermitage in the world", pinned on eating, drinking, playing, poetry and songs, etc., in his later years, he imitated Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty, built his own residence in the "Yi Garden", and lived in seclusion here in the state of "Yi Suo Idle Man".
Therefore, the repair of Huiyuan also adheres to the purpose of Li Yu's seclusion, and embodies the hermit of "sparse flowers and thorny trees", "Yan Qian Magpie Xi", "Cai Lan Qi Pei", "Guanyi Yin" in all the scenery of the garden, and has the sound of the world, the joy of the peach source, and has been the most popular in the garden of the palace of the king of Beijing for many years.
In the Hui Garden, Su Xiaoliu performs cross talk, the pond is the main water system in the garden, the pond water extends to the depths of the garden, gradually diverges, in the scenery of various places swirling and pulling like silk, each water vein flows to different Xuantai Tangxie, where the water is the vein, to build a transcendental, elegant and unique landscape.
Xiaoxi Pavilion is one of them, in this courtyard, its scenery bamboo spring reflects each other, in a corner of the courtyard there is a Wang Bi Pond, there is an eye spring under the pool, there is a pavilion on the small pavilion on the pool, the pavilion is covered by fine bamboo, and the sand and stone are accompanied. During the day, the water surface reaches the knees, gathers in the pool, and at night, the spring is bubbling out of the clear water, and at midnight, the pool of clear water is like the tide constantly filling the shore, its sound is far away, really like the tide in the south of the Yangtze River.
[Netizen]: Wow, it's so complicated!
[Netizen]: The ancient princes and nobles were so extravagant!
[Netizen]: That is, it is not satisfied to build a palace, but also to build a park to live!
[Netizen]: Yes, I don't know what it's like to live in a park?
[Netizen]: Didn't you stay in the park upstairs?
[Netizen]: No, why do you want to live in the park?
[Netizen]: Upstairs must have been a homeless man, often spending the night on a park bench.
[Netizen]: No, I used to go on a date with a female ticket in the park at night!
[Netizen]: Oh, I see! Field battles, right?
[Netizen]: Night battle, right?
[Netizen]: Khan!
The two of them walked while talking, and unconsciously came to the outside of the Xiaoxi Pavilion, Su Xiaoliu saw that there was a thin bamboo wall, separated into a separate courtyard, and when he raised his eyes, it was as if he had come to the place of the gods in the mountains and forests, which was very different from the scenery outside.
"Wow," Su Xiaoliu exclaimed, "It's really beautiful!" ”
"Pretty, isn't it?" As soon as Sakura arrived, she suddenly felt relaxed, "If there is anything to worry about, it will be swept away as soon as you get here!" ”
Su Xiaoliu ran a few steps forward, walked into the thin bamboo forest, smelled the fragrance of bamboo, and felt refreshed, but his stomach seemed to feel something at this time, so it passed from his abdomen to his brain, making Su Xiaoliu suddenly turn his head and ask Ruo Sakura: "Are there any bamboo shoots here?" Dig some and eat, I'm so hungry! ”
"This kind of bamboo is ornamental bamboo," Wakazakura shook her head and said, "There are no bamboo shoots that can be eaten, don't worry, the sixth master will send snacks later, and then the sixth master can pad his stomach first." ”
"Okay." Su Xiaoliu had no choice but to give up the idea of digging bamboo shoots, walked straight to the courtyard, crossed the cover of the bamboo forest, and saw the Wang Bi Pond, the water of the pond was crystal clear, and occasionally red fish swam by with their tails, and his mind came up with ingredients again, and his hand unconsciously stretched out to the water, "Is there any big fish here, catch one and grill it?" ”
"No, Sixth Master," Wakazakura hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Why are you like a hungry cat?" Catch a fish when you see it? These are all small goldfish, which cannot be eaten! ”
"It's okay to have a little goldfish," Su Xiaoliu wanted to reach in again, "It's okay to fry it!" ”
Ruoying grabbed his hand and persuaded: "Sixth Master, let's go to the house first, I'll fetch water and bathe you, and I'll arrange the food, okay?" ”
Su Xiaoliu was pushed by her to the house, the furnishings in the room were very simple, but the calligraphy, paintings, ink treasures, candlesticks, curtains and curtains were all used very elegantly, as if they were specially decorated to create a feeling of being out of the world.
There were four eunuchs in charge of cleaning and miscellaneous work in the courtyard, and Wakazakura pushed Su Xiaoliu to the back room, asked him to sit for a while, and then got up and went out, ordering the four eunuchs to quickly boil water and prepare for Su Xiaoliu's bathing.
At this time, the chief administrator of the palace also sent two eunuchs to send the clothes and supplies that Su Xiaoliu needed, and Ruoying took it, and saw that there were three sets of clothes that could be changed for the whole body, a box of various accessories, and two "yellow belts" specially customized for the identity of Su Xiaoliu's clan, as well as two pairs of boots and socks. There is also a large bag of brand new teapots, bowls and toiletries.
Ruo Sakura put these things in the outer hall, placed them neatly one by one, and said to Su Xiaoliu in the inner room: "Sixth master, they are boiling water, you can take a bath in the inner room in a while, these new clothes are ready, and they will be changed together later." ”
"There's nothing in here," Su Xiaoliu's voice came from the back room, "How do you take a bath?" ”
"There's a special big barrel," Wakazakura replied as she sorted out her things, "and they'll bring it to you in a moment." ”
"Oh, well!" Su Xiaoliu said a word in the house, and then he was silent.
Ruo Sakura sorted out the toiletries and underwear that Su Xiaoliu would use later, held it in one hand, lifted the curtain with the other hand and entered the inner room, ready to put it next to the bed for Su Xiaoliu to use after bathing.
"Oh, Sixth Master!" Ruo Sakura had just stepped into the house, and when she saw Su Xiaoliu's appearance, she couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Why did you take off your essence now?" ”
