The letter said, "I sincerely hope you can accept the pipa." He opened the box and saw a box of fresh loquat.

Shen couldn't help laughing and wrote back to his friend, saying, "Lynn, thanks to the pipa, I hope it will be silent when you listen, and delicious when you eat."

My friend was ashamed when he read the letter, so he wrote a doggerel: "Loquat is not this pipa, because he can't read much." If the pipa can blossom and bear fruit, all the pipes in the city will be open. "

If the pipa can blossom and bear fruit, all the flutes in the city will blossom.
