This garden was originally built by a salt merchant from the previous dynasty, with rockery craftsmanship ingeniously exquisite, directing living water from the canal into the garden. The winding corridor hides the misty rain, and the painted boat floats amidst rainbow reflections.
A feast hosted by a salt merchant costs a thousand gold coins, with Huaiyang delicacies and Four Seas' rare cuisines laid out on the table, all served in official kilned blue porcelain cups. The wine poured is Jiangnan's famous brew, Yun Ye liquor, with songs and music uninterrupted throughout the night.
In the past, a renowned literary figure had inscribed "When the wind blows in the water pavilion, the place is filled with hidden fragrance" on a mural in the garden, making it famous far and wide.
At this moment, Jiyu Garden was lit up as if it were daytime.
The spacious main hall by the water was called "Zhuojin Hall," with all the surrounding screens completely open.
