What happened when Gan Long visited Suzhou Lion Forest?

It is said that from 17 1 1 to 1799, there was a champion named Xi Hunag near Suzhou Lion Forest, who liked to go shopping since he was a child. When Xi Hunag was a child, the abbot of the temple saw that he was clever and liked him very much, so he joked with him and said, "Don't you like this garden very much? Then you should study hard. If you win the first prize in the future, I will give you this garden! "

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Xi Hunag kept it in mind, studied hard and finally won the first prize. But the old monk forgot all about sending the garden.

Just then, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and came to Suzhou. He heard that there is a famous Shilin Temple in the north of the city, and the rockeries in the back garden of the temple are strangely piled together, so he asked the local officials to accompany him to visit the Shilin Temple.

When the abbot heard that the emperor was coming, he panicked and didn't know how to take over. The old abbot used his quick wits and thought of Xi Hunag. He thought that Huang Xishu read a lot, was eloquent and had seen the world. Let him receive the dragon driver, there will be no mistakes.

The old abbot told the young monk to invite Xi Hunag over. When Xi Hunag arrived at the temple, the old abbot said all the good things and entrusted him with a ride. Xi Hunag readily promised.

After a while, only the gong was heard to clear the way, and Emperor Qianlong arrived. Xi Hunag and the abbot, with the help of young monks, knelt at the door to meet the driver.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Xi Hunag shouted "Long live" and respectfully ran to get the way. Through several winding halls, Gan Long was introduced into the back garden.

The rockery in Ganlongyuan is like a big lion, a little lion, a male lion, a female lion, a rolling hydrangea and two lions frolicking, which is really ever-changing.

This rockery has many beautiful names, such as He Hui, Tuyue, Chunyu and Angxiao. The highest rockery is called Lion Peak.

Xi Hunag was very familiar with the Lion Forest, and it was very vivid to introduce it to the emperor. Gan Longyue listened more and more happily, nodded again and again, and cheerfully walked into the rockery.

The rockery in Lion Grove is also cleverly designed. Going in is like going into a deep mountain, and you can't get around it for a long time. Like Zhuge Liang's gossip, the mystery is endless. When Qianlong came in, he found that the trees in the garden were dense and even the branches were very beautiful. A pool of clear water has a long history of fishing. The scenery you see is everywhere, and it is everywhere. The more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.

After the rockery, Qianlong sat down in a pavilion and asked what the pavilion was called. Knowing the opportunity, Xi Hunag quickly reported, "This pavilion has not been named yet. Please give it a name! "

Gan Long is a person who likes to leave messages everywhere. Xi Hunag's words hit the nail on the head. He didn't feel hot in his heart and his hands itched, so he asked his men to get Four Treasures of the Study. He thought for a long time, and it was difficult for him to write. When he was in a hurry, he scribbled the words "interesting".

Xi Hunag watch, see home out of the vulgar, neither fish nor fowl, hang out in the future, wouldn't it be a joke? He had a brainwave, in the prelude:

I saw the imperial title of the holy family, so I drew a silver hook with a pen and an iron pen, and the words were like dragons and phoenixes dancing. Among them, the word "you" is even more charming. I took the liberty of dying. I hope the holy one will give me a word "you"!

The emperor wrote the word "interesting", which is a bit tacky to think about. He tried to change it. After listening to this, Huang removed the word "you" and left "really interesting", which is also very elegant. He nodded and agreed, and beside the word "you", he wrote the line "Huang Xi has been favored by the imperial court". Ordered the attendants to be laid off on the spot and rewarded to Xi Hunag, leaving the word "true interest" as the plaque of the pavilion. Since then, this pavilion has been called the "True Fun Pavilion".

Xi Hunag was secretly pleased to get the word "you" in this imperial book. After Qianlong left, he posted the word "You" on the garden gate and immediately told his family to move out and move all the furniture to the garden.

The abbot of Shilin Temple was very surprised. He stopped Xi Hunag and asked, "Why did you move the furniture into the garden?"

Xi Hunag glared at him and said, "Didn't you see the big words' An Imperial Envoy gave Huang Xi'? Are you deliberately violating the sacred command? " When the abbot saw this scene, he fully understood that he had been cheated by Xi Hunag. He is so dumb that he can't tell how bitter it is to eat Rhizoma Coptidis. From then on, this garden was separated from Shilin Temple and became the private garden of the Huang family, and the name of the interesting pavilion was handed down.

177 1 year, Huang Jing rebuilt the mansion, reorganized the courtyard and renamed it "Wusong Garden". By the middle of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, the Huang family had declined, and the garden was deserted, leaving only rockeries.
