Original text:
The old house behind the building is inclined, with a foundation of four feet. It is a big library. There is a couch next to the ear room, which is as wide as gauze. In the front and back clearing, at the foot of the altar on the back wall, there are three large watermelons on the wall, which are more than 300 years old. There are two trees in Xifu in front of the altar, and when they spend three feet, they accumulate fragrant snow. The first four walls are slightly higher, and a stone platform is built on the opposite side to insert the stone peak of Taihu Lake. Xixi plum bones are ancient and vigorous, and Yunnan coffee table stems are charming. Next to her, Megan planted passion fruit, wrapped like a tassel. The bamboo shed outside the window is full of secret treasures. The green grass is three feet deep under the steps, and begonias are scattered and mixed together. The front and rear windows are bright and clean, and Baoxiang Xifu is getting green and dark. I sit in it, and I can't go in unless I am a good guest. Muniyu is also known as "the secret pavilion of Yunlin".
Translation:
After the old house behind the guest building collapsed, I ordered a big library to be built. The ear rooms on both sides are like a wardrobe with a couch in it. We planted three big peonies and watermelons in the back because there were empty spaces in front and back. When they are in full bloom, about 300 flowers are scattered from the wall, which is very beautiful. Two strains of Xifu begonia were planted in front of them, which were as beautiful as three feet of fragrant snow when they bloomed. The wall in front was a little high, so a stone platform was set up opposite, on which several peaks of Taihu Stone were placed. Xixi plum blossom is simple and vigorous, and Yunnan tea has a unique charm. There is also a passion flower next to the plum blossom, wrapped like a wreath. There is a bamboo shed outside the window, which is quite lush. The grass is three feet below the steps, and begonias are scattered in the middle. There are all kinds of flowers and trees planted under the front and back windows, which gradually turn dark green. I sit inside, and I will never let him in unless he is an elegant guest. Because I admire Ni Zan, I named this bookstore "Yunlin Secret Pavilion" after his Qing Pavilion.
