Chapter 34 Touring Dongting Lake
Dongting Lake is located in the east of Yueyang, with the four rivers of Xiang, Zi, Yuan and Li in the south, and flows into the Yangtze River through Chenglingji in the north. It is known as "Eight Hundred Li Dongting".Dongting originally means "immortal cave", so the name shows how beautiful and charming the scenery is.

On a sunny day, the two ladies of the Fu family boarded the boat in Fan's building, accompanied by Fan Erlang, and went on a tour of the lake to see the scenery.

The buildings and boats were originally for military use, but these years the sea has been cleared by He Yan, so although the Changsha Palace retains the fleet of boat divisions, they are only used for military exercises.The boat used for this trip to the lake was the building boat that Fan Yan bought from the army by taking advantage of his position. It has three layers of construction, is six feet high, and can carry a thousand people.Because it was used by family members for swimming in the lake, the Fan family made a big rectification of the building boats, removed most of the combat protection facilities, and only kept the flags and poles.

The boat is wide enough for horses to walk on. Ladies don’t feel cramped and stuffy after boarding the boat. Standing on the bow, you can see the vastness and circuitousness of Dongting Lake. There are lakes outside the lake and mountains in the lake. , feel more relaxed and happy.

The small boat on the other side saw that the ship was tall and mighty, shaped like a house, with double eaves and pavilions, flags like clouds, dense clouds and oars on the side of the ship, yellow foam flying, and vaguely saw a woman on the ship tower wearing a light yellow, pink and green wide-sleeved gown , Yingying and Yanyan are really beautiful. It is expected that officials and eunuchs will travel with their beauties, so they naturally hide away.

……

……

Seeing that Fan Fang's and Fan Sanniang's looks are above average, with round faces, Madam Fu thought that Fan Erlang must also have an amiable face.Unexpectedly, when they met each other, they were born with long eyebrows and handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth, as bright as the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, slender limbs, fashionable clothes, wearing a light blue round-neck gown, covering their hair with a head covering.Because he was a small official in the palace, Fan Erlang wore a belt with rhino horns and decorated it with jade stones.

Because it was the first time they met, Fan Erlang humbled himself as a servant, which made the two ladies very embarrassed, and after some discussion, they changed their titles.And there are three chapters of agreement, if he calls himself servant, servant, and descender again, they will return to the voyage.

Chenglingji boarded the boat and arrived at Sanjiangkou in a short time. The two ladies stood on the bow and looked at the Dongting. They saw the Xiangjiang River rushing northward, the Yangtze River rolling eastward, water birds soaring, and hundreds of boats competing for the current. Abrupt, beautiful scenery, very elegant.

Fan Erlang said: "The ancients once said that Dongting is the residence of immortals. The scenery in four seasons is different, and it changes thousands of times a day. Four of the eight scenic spots in Xiaoxiang belong to Dongting Lake."

He abides by etiquette, although he stands on the bow of the boat with the woman, he always keeps a distance of half a foot.

Fu's family is a big family, Yujing naturally does not go out of the gate, and occasionally travels with her grandmother, but only in the suburbs of the capital. Where has she seen such a splendid scenery? Which four kinds, can you see them today?"

"The four sceneries of Dongting are the autumn moon in Dongting, the sails in Yuanpu, the sunset in the fishing village, and the snow in the river sky. Two of them are not seen by the lady today."

As the name suggests, I knew that Fan Erlang was referring to Dongting Qiuyue and Jiangtian Muxue, so Yujing asked again: "I don't know what is so special about Dongting Qiuyue and Jiangtian Muxue?"

"My lady, please take a look—Dongting Lake is vast and mighty for eight hundred miles, and its momentum is extraordinary. After the heavy snow in winter, the river and sky are completely white, and everything in the world is silent. How quiet and leisurely. With no other distractions, I want to ride the wind and turn into a speck of dust. This is Jiang Tian Muxue."

Yu Jing and Li Ci heard the words, first looked at the vast mist of Dongting Lake, and then closed their beautiful eyes slightly, imagining that the waves all over the lake turned into endless white snow, and suddenly felt a sense of coolness and leisure.

I also asked about the autumn moon in Dongting. It is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the lake is eight hundred miles away. The water is calm and quiet like a mirror.The sky and the water intersect, and the lake light reflects each other. When you go boating on the lake, you will know that life is like dust, the way of heaven is long and long, envious of the infinity of the universe, and mourning the moment of my life.

"Who on the riverside sees the moon for the first time? When did the river moon shine on people? Thinking of the long distance between the world and the earth, I feel sad and weep."

Li Ci sighed softly, she recited the poems of the former sages, but she was more thinking about her own rebirth in another world.

Yu Jing didn't know what was going on in her mind, so she just continued with a momentary feeling: "There are endless generations in life, and Jiang Yue looks the same year after year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water."

And Fan Fangshi has also read poetry and books, and immediately praised: "You are indeed a lady, this knowledge is different."

The old lady Fu said lightly: "But I know a few words roughly, so I won't lose face at the banquet in the future. Besides, Mr. Zhuang, please go home, and only teach Saburo. It is not in line with my frugal style."

Mrs. Fu's words were obviously self-effacing.

In today's world, it is said that women who are ignorant of talent are virtues, but who is the real lady of the big family and the wife of the noble family who is ignorant of the book and is proficient in the six arts?Otherwise, there is no way to enter and exit the palace for banquets and entertainment.It's fine if you are ridiculed, it's a sin to cause your husband to lose face.

Even in Jiaofang, talent is more important than appearance. All oirans are good at drinking orders, eloquent, and possess unique skills.Although Hu Ji has snow skin and beautiful appearance, big breasts and fat buttocks, she is just a newcomer to Xie Ren, and she is not as attractive as the ordinary-looking woman who is outstanding in poetry and calligraphy in Jiaofang.

The building boat moved extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, Junshan was in sight.

"Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting in the distance, there is a green snail in a silver plate", if you visit Dongting Lake, if you don't go to Junshan, you will regret going to Baoshan if you have time.So the ladies finished their lunch early, put on their hats, and waited for the boats to enter the pier.

Just as he was about to dock, he saw a majestic and majestic object approaching from a distance. Compared with it, the Fanjialou boat was not as good.

The building is five stories high, ten feet high, with wood as the city, decorated with red lacquer, wrapped in iron armor, with dense flags and flags, galloping horses back and forth, and the upper and lower languages ​​do not know each other; the arrows on the female wall are sharp and shocking; Eighty oars each, traveling all the way, the waves are rough, and ordinary boats will break at the touch of a touch.

Fan Erlang was working in Changsha Palace, and he knew that there were two large ships in the army, one for Yuzhang and one for Chang'an, which could carry three thousand soldiers.Seeing the big ship approaching menacingly, I don't know which general called it temporarily, and hurriedly ordered the boatman to avoid it, and let the huge ship with the blood-red flag go first.

With such twists and turns, by the time the ship was abandoned and landed, it was already near the center.

……

……

Junshan has a beautiful scenery. There are 72 peaks of different sizes on the island. It ranks No. 11 blessed place of Taoism.Fan Fang's family was born as a merchant, and her mother's family owned more than ten properties in Junshan. They walked all the way, hugging each other, very impressive.

The reception place scheduled by the Fan family is a tea house built near the water.This building has an excellent view and unique ingenuity. The whole body is decorated with Xiangfei bamboo, which is very clean.Climbing to the top of the building, I found that there were no other guests upstairs, and the boss had already received the order, and immediately presented the top-grade gold inlaid jade.

Mrs. Fan San recommended herself to make tea for the Fu family's delicate guest, with mysterious techniques and full of style.

Sencha, Doucha are popular in Beijing, and tea cakes are mainly eaten. This is the first time I have seen this new tea brewing method.Yu Jing felt that this kind of eating method was vulgar, but she saw boiling water poured in, and the golden-colored and bright pekoe buds rushed out of the water, like ten thousand pens written in the sky, and then the water sank slowly, the sparrow's tongue contained pearls, The buds and leaves stretch, just like golden chrysanthemums in full bloom.See also tea juice apricot yellow, with fresh aroma and bright leaf bottom, light tea, sweet and dark refreshing, it is the color, aroma, taste and shape are all good.

Even the picky old lady couldn't help but praised: "This tea is really good."

"This tea was originally invited by Immortal Baihe from overseas fairy mountains. It was brewed with water from Baihe Well, and a crane can be seen flying away in the curl. Unfortunately, the Baihe Well has been exhausted, and Baihe Tea has become Junshan Silver Needle."

Mrs. Fan San explained attentively, and everyone couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion after hearing what she said.There are all kinds of affectation in the words, so there is no need to elaborate.

Li Ci had no interest in drinking tea, but everyone was in a good mood, so they had to pretend to be reserved and sip tea.While I was bored in every possible way, I heard bursts of laughter outside, accompanied by crisp singing, and my eyes lit up.

Yu Jing also heard the singing and became interested.So the two went to the window together, and saw a row of people in white clothes with long sleeves and crowns on their heads standing on the shore. "He" wears a long sword on his waist, holds a jade slip in his hand, and hangs a garland decorated with vanilla orchids around his neck, singing loudly to the river:

"If there is someone who loves the mountains, Xue Lixi will take Nvluo. Xinyi Chexi will tie the Guiqi flag. Shi Lanxi will take Du Heng..."

The singing voice is high-pitched and passionate, and the lyrics are simple and elegant, which makes you forget the customs.

Seeing that they liked them, Fan Fang said, "Today is the day to worship Lord Xiang and Mrs. Xiang."

Pointing to the distance again: "Mrs. Xiang is here."

Following the direction she pointed, I saw a small boat coming from the depths of the [-] hectares of Jade Mirror Qiongtian.

The boat is getting closer and closer, and you can clearly see more than a dozen girls in white dresses and flower crowns sitting on the boat. There is a float in the middle, and the person sitting in it must be "Mrs. Xiang".These women are fishermen's girls around Dongting. They have a cheerful personality. They sailed in the mighty Dongting in a flat boat. They dared to sit on the side of the bank and sing harmony with the people on the bank, while kicking the water with their feet. They were very lively.

"If you can't do it, you will be barbarian. Who will stay in Zhongzhou? If you want to be beautiful, you should cultivate it. Let me take the osmanthus boat."

After receiving the response from the boat, girls in men's clothing who played the role of Lord Xiang's attendants on the shore also joined in the chorus.

"The emperor descends to Beizhu, his eyes are dim and sorrowful. The autumn wind curls up, and the waves of Dongting come under the leaves..."

In an instant, the boat was approaching, and the "Mrs. Xiang" sitting in the float decorated with magnolia, Shilan, and Du Heng was also wearing a long white dress, a flower crown on her head and a mulberry.It's just that although her appearance is far superior to all the girls around her, she is only considered to be above average. Fortunately, she has a pair of eyes that are as bright as stars. When I look around, my fresh face suddenly has an aura, like a fairy.

But the Fan family wanted to flatter Yujing, so how could they let go of this opportunity.But after seeing Mrs. Xiang's face clearly, the third lady of the Fan family said, "I think the second lady is much prettier than Mrs. Xiang."

Yu Jing immediately lowered her head modestly, and said, "Mrs. Xiang is a fairy in the sky, and there is no comparison in the world. Don't talk nonsense, Third Lady, you have ruined my life."

Fan Sanniang hurriedly said: "Miss misunderstood, I think you are more like the goddess of Xiangshui than the Xiang lady below."

Yu Jing was already sensitive, so how could she not understand what she meant, so she just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the Mulan boat had landed, and the "Mrs. Xiang" who was covered with lychees and radishes, met the "Mr. Xiang" who wore a sword and dressed in jade, surrounded by all the girls. Regardless of the skirts or shirts, the girls were all swaying flowers and rain. Singing and celebrating, laughter and chatter were heard endlessly, and fine petals flew up the small building and fell in the hair of Fu's wife, adding a bit of beauty.

The folk performances to worship the God of Xiang are naturally not as beautiful and luxurious as the Peony Flower Banquet of the Eldest Princess, but with the entire Dongting Lake as the stage and the love legend between Ehuang Nvying and Emperor Yao, it is not lingering.

It was the first time for the ladies of the Fu family to see her again, so they couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Seeing laughter on the shore, "Mr. Xiang" and "Mrs. Xiang" sat on a float decorated with magnolia vines and left slowly. Yu Jing couldn't help but sighed: "Only someone as outstanding as Mr. Xiang is worthy of the honor." Mrs. Xiang is such a peerless beauty."

Li Ci knew that she wanted a husband who was as brilliant as Emperor Yao from herself than Mrs. Xiang, and didn't want to get her way, so she said, "It's a good talk for Mrs. Xiang and the queen to marry each other. But Ehuang and Nvying are not as good as Emperor Yao. , shed tears on the bamboo of the concubine Xiang, jumped into the Xiangjiang River, and died for love, so sad, it is not as warm as "holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son"."

Fan Erlang nodded, deeply convinced, holding a fan and chanted: "The beauty is gone, the sound is gone, and there is a bright moon after thousands of miles. The wedding can be returned, with a little dew on people's clothes."

When Yu Jing heard this, the way she looked at Fan Erlang suddenly changed.

It's just that whether the man and the woman are close or not, the eyes are shy and staggered.

Everyone saw it and laughed without saying a word.

Not long after, a handsome boy came upstairs, holding in his hand the wreath of "Mrs. Xiang" just now.Everyone tacitly looked at Fan Erlang and Yu Jing meaningfully.Yu Jing blushed immediately, it was Li Ci who stepped forward to accept the wreath, and rewarded the little boy with half a golden scorpion.After the little boy went downstairs, Yu Jing took the corolla with a smile.

After eating snacks, it was dusk after visiting the tomb of the second concubine, the temple of the concubine Xiang, Liu Yijing and other historical sites.

When returning to the voyage, all the girls stood at the bow of the boat and looked out. They saw the distant mountains covered with daisies, the willows on the shore like smoke, the returning sails, and the fishermen’s songs. With a strong warmth.It is the Yuanpu Guifan and the sunset in the fishing village among the Eight Scenic Spots of Xiaoxiang.

Note: Eighth- and ninth-rank officials wear green clothes and use jade stones.
