Lady Wang and Granny Liu boarded the boat from the willow shade of Nymphoides Island. Granny Liu had never been on a boat. She stood at the bow and only talked to Madam Wang. When the boat started to move, she lost her balance and fell. Fortunately, Ping 'er was beside him and quickly pulled him back, preventing him from falling into the water. "Granny, did you fall?" asked Madam Wang.”"It's nothing," Granny Liu said. When I followed the old lady on the gravel road, I even sat on two butts! Once the top is flat, what's there to be afraid of!" Sister Qiao pulled Granny Liu into the cabin and sat down. "Granny, don't you take a boat in the countryside?" asked Madam Wang.”Granny Liu said,"We also take small boats when we encounter floods. I've only sat on it twice in my life.”
After a while, two pairs of mandarin ducks floated past the boat. Granny Liu said,"You also raise ducks in the city." The flowers are more beautiful than the white ones. I'm afraid they're wild ducks, right? The duck has this color." "They're mandarin ducks," Li Wan said. Grandma remembered that Miss Jin in the old lady's room was called Yuanyang.”Granny Liu said,"That girl treats me really well. I heard that she went with the old lady." The old lady had done so much good. She had to become a Bodhisattva, and he would become a dragon lady.”Li Wen and Li Qi only listened to his words and secretly laughed.
On the other side of the boat, Xiangyun took the pole and wanted to help the women to pole the boat. "Look," said Baochai,"Sister Shi is acting as a boat on the lake!”"Yun 'er, didn't you see Granny Liu's joke over there?" You asked for it when you fell into the water. If you capsize the boat, will we follow you to drink water? It's too unfair!" "This water is so clear, it's nothing to drink a few mouthfuls." Otherwise, I would have become an immortal if I became Li Taibai, who caught the moon and rode the whale!”"Sit down, Grandaunt," the ladies said."This isn't a game."”Xiangyun put down the pole and sat on the bow.
The two boats moved along the current, hitting the lotus leaves and making a pulling sound. The water rippled wherever the boat passed, and some waterbirds were startled and flew away. Xiang Yun pointed to a courtyard on the shore and said,"Isn't that Hengwu Court?"”"Isn't that so?" Baochai stared at him for a long time. This oil decoration had changed its appearance and was almost unrecognizable!”Xichun said,"Second Sister-in-law Bao, why don't you move here? Let's have some fun."”"I have the same idea," said Baochai."I've always been too busy to care." Now that autumn was cold, it was impossible to say. If they wanted to move, it would be next spring.”"Since you have a brother, it's more suitable for you to stay in Happy Red Court." The houses there were more spacious and there were trees to shade them. It was cooler than here in the summer.”
As he spoke, he turned a few layers of bay branches, and the reeds on both sides gradually increased. The reed flowers were not completely white, but they were rustled by the wind. A winding bamboo bridge appeared in front of him, and he knew that he had arrived at the Reed Snow Pavilion. Madam Wang wanted to go up and sit down, but Ping 'er quickly called the ladies to pull the boat to the shore. Zhu Dajia got off the boat and walked over the bamboo bridge, constantly making the sound of the boat. "I wasn't afraid of the fall just now," Granny Liu said. Listening to his words, she was a little scared. You've repaired everything. Why don't you repair this bridge?”"Don't be afraid, Granny. I'll hold you."”Granny Liu walked very slowly. By the time he crossed the bridge and entered the pavilion, Madam Wang and the others had already sat down in the pavilion.
The maids had prepared a tea stove in advance and brought the tea in. The maids handed it over in turn and everyone drank it. Granny Liu looked around and smiled.""Is this a pavilion? It looks like a big ship to me?”"This was originally a boat-style cover," said Madam Wang with a smile.”Li Wen and Li Qi stood by the window and looked at the green water.""Let's open the window and fish here! It's a pity that I didn't bring a pole today." Xiangyun smiled and said,"If Granny dresses up, she'll really be a natural fisherman, but no one can play fisherman."”"Second Older Brother used to wear that coir raincoat and everyone said he looked like a fisherman." If Sister Shi were to wear that set, it would still be enough.”
Baochai pulled Xiangyun to look around and suddenly pointed to a stone."Look, isn't that where we eat venison? There was an iron stove in the stone, and everyone was roasting food.”The two of them recalled Baoyu and each had their own sadness, but they were speechless! "What are you guys standing there looking at?" Ping 'er asked.”"We were still thinking about the taste of venison that year." You're only greedy for good food. You won't even know if you lose the bracelet.”Ping 'er laughed when she heard this. Tanchun walked over and heard him." Once the happy things are over, you can't get them back." Even if I give you a piece of venison now, it won't taste like that even if you burn it here!”
At this moment, Xichun looked at the flowing water and was thinking about his Zen principles. Mrs. Wang sat there chatting with Granny Liu and Sister Qiao. Suddenly, he saw a corner of the canopy hidden outside the reeds and asked,"Isn't there a water pavilion over there?" "That's the Hollow Crystal Pavilion."”Lady Wang liked the light under the canopy and wanted to sit over there. "It's not far from the shore," said Yuchuan 'er. That year, the old lady was enjoying the moon at Tu Bi Villa during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sister Yuanyang and I went down the mountain and ran everywhere. It was more interesting to see the moon in the water under the canopy.”Madam Wang was about to walk over to the shore when Ping 'er said,"Although this area is flat, it's damp and covered in moss. Madam, you'd better go by boat." Thus, Lady Wang helped Yuchuan 'er onto the boat, and Ping' er followed to take care of her. Here, everyone was wearing reed flowers from the shore, all the way to the Hollow Crystal Hall.
Granny Liu smiled as she walked.”Li Qi saw a red dragonfly on Li Wensu's silk robe and pounced forward. She caught it and showed it to Li Wan. Because the ground was too slippery, Xiangyun picked up a dry branch and used it as a walking stick.
"Just now I wanted to ask you to play fisherman, but now you're pretending to be an old man," said Tanchun with a smile.”Soon, they arrived at the Hollow Crystal Hall. The paintings and decorations there were still the same. The maids knew that Madam was going to visit the garden, so they cleaned it very cleanly. Just as he was about to sit down, Madam Wang arrived by boat and sat under the canopy to chat.
Granny Liu said," This place is really close to the mountains and rivers. We sell New Year paintings in the countryside. There are also paintings of large gardens. How can it be so good?!"”"This is man-made after all," said Madam Wang. Your countryside has real mountains and rivers. I'm afraid it's even better.”
"There are real mountains and rivers there!" Granny Liu said. Apart from the forest, there was a crop field and some mounds. There are a few gardens belonging to the emperor's family about seventy to eighty li away from our village. They are really mountains and rivers, and half of the houses are built on the mountains. Unfortunately, it was burned down by the rebels that time. The emperor's house had to be repaired several times, but he didn't have the money. I wonder how many tens of thousands of silver the old emperor used to build it?”"Granny, have you been there before?" Li Wan asked.”
Granny Liu said," There are still officials guarding that garden. I heard from others that it's not suitable for country bumpkins to enter." They said that the old emperor used to live there and play the dragon boat during the May Festival. If he played well, the emperor would be happy and reward him with a lot of silver. That was the liveliness. Our village's Empress Guild, the Stilts and the Middle Banner, all rushed there to present to the Emperor, and the Emperor also rewarded them with silver. Not tonight!" Li Wen asked what was a stiletto? What was a banner? Granny Liu continued to talk for a while, and everyone listened.
Xiangyun chatted with Baochai and Tanchun. Xiang Yun pointed at the railing and said,"How many sticks do you think there are?" You're not allowed to count. You can only say it in one breath." "About twelve?" Tanchun asked.”"Wrong," said Xiang Yun,"there's one more. During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Pin 'er and I were here to make a couplet. We borrowed his rhyme, so we used the rhyme of thirteen yuan.”"That year, I just happened to move back," said Baochai."You only blamed me for going home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival because I had an appointment to admire the moon. How could he stay in the garden if he knew that there were so many other things happening in the garden?”"When you weren't here," said Xiang Yun,"I was alone with my son, leaning against the railing, and exchanging lines. Now that we are here, Pin 'er is gone again! Nothing in the world is perfect." Hearing this, Baochai also sighed.
