Chen Siyu asked why.
So Bai Yuxia picked up the small dried fish and told her ancient anecdotes, her voice like clear spring water: "In ancient times, some scholars adopted kittens, often requiring a 'betrothal gift', giving some small fish."
Her voice was pleasant to hear, spoken softly, drawing Jiang Yanan and others in the front row to listen attentively.
Bai Yuxia: "There is a famous person from ancient times called Huang Tingjian. He has a poem that says [buying fish, wearing willow, asking for the cat], meaning buying fish, tying it to willow branches, then going to ask for the kitten."
"The ancient poet Lu You also has a line, [wrapped in salt, welcoming the little raccoon slave], he used salt to greet the kitten, and even blamed himself for having no blanket to keep the cat warm because of his ordinary home conditions."
