The translation of boudoir music

Answer 1

The original text of "Music in the boudoir" is in classical Chinese. The following are some examples of translation:
"I was born on the 22nd day of the 11th month of the 1763rd year of the Qianlong reign. It was a time of peace and prosperity. I was born into a scholar-bureaucrat family and lived by the Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou. Su Shi said,"Things are like a dream in spring, without a trace." It would be a waste of heaven's kindness if one didn't write it down. Because I thought that Guan Yu was the first of the 300 chapters of the Book of Songs, I also listed the matter of husband and wife in the first volume, and the rest of the content was described in turn. To my shame, I neglected my studies when I was a teenager. I only knew some simple words.(This article) was just a record of true feelings and things. If I had to test the grammar of the article, it would be like asking a dirty mirror to be bright and clear (unreasonable).
When I was young, I was engaged to the Yu family of Jinsha. She died at the age of eight. Later, she married Miss Chen. Chen's name was Yun, also known as Shuzhen. She was the daughter of her uncle, Mr. Xinyu. She was born intelligent. When she was learning to speak, she could recite the Song of the Pipa by dictation immediately. When she was four, her father passed away. Her mother, Jin Shi, and her younger brother, Kechang, were poor. When Yun grew up, she was good at needlework. The family of three relied on her needlework to make a living. When Kechang went to school, she could guarantee that she would not lack tuition fees. One day, Yun found Song of the Pipa in her bookcase and began to read it word by word. In his spare time, he gradually learned how to recite poems. There were poems such as 'Autumn invades the shadow of the figure, frost stains the chrysanthemum fat.' When I was thirteen, I followed my mother back to her parents 'home.(We) were innocent as children. When I saw her poems, although I sighed that she was talented and beautiful, I was secretly worried that she was not blessed enough. However, I couldn't let go of my thoughts and told my mother,' If I choose a wife for my son, I will marry only Sister Shu.' Mother also liked her gentleness and gentleness, so she took off her gold ring and set up a marriage agreement for us. This happened on July 16, 1775.
In the middle of winter, her cousin got married, so I followed my mother. Yun and I are the same age but older than me by ten months. Since we were young, we called each other brother and sister, so we still call her Sister Shu. At that time, everyone in the room was wearing bright clothes, but she was the only one who was dressed in plain and elegant clothes. Only her shoes were new. Seeing her exquisite embroidery, after asking, he found out that she had done it herself. Only then did he know that her intelligence was not only reflected in her pen and ink. She had a slender figure with a long neck, thin but not revealing, and her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were beautiful. She looked energetic, but her two teeth were slightly exposed. She did not seem to be blessed. However, her lingering expression made one's emotions dissipate. I asked to see her poems. Some were only one couplet or three or four sentences. Most of them were not in a chapter. When I asked for the reason, she smiled and said,'Without a teacher's guidance, I hope to get a confidant who can be a teacher to finish it.' I jokingly wrote the words 'Beautiful Sentences in a Silk Bag' on the label of the poem manuscript. He did not know that the signs of a short lifespan had already lurked.
That night, I sent the bride out of the city. When I came back, it was already the third watch. I was hungry and looked for food. The maidservant brought me dried dates. I thought it was too sweet. Yun secretly pulled my sleeve and followed her to the room. When I saw the hot porridge and side dishes, I happily picked up my chopsticks. Suddenly, she heard Yun's cousin Epsilon shout,"Sister Shu, come quickly!" Yun hurriedly closed the door and said,"I'm tired and will sleep soon." Epsilon squeezed his way in and saw that I was about to eat the porridge. He smiled and looked askance at Yun and said,"I asked for porridge just now, but you said 'there isn't any more.' So you hid it for your husband?" Yun dodged in embarrassment, and everyone in the room laughed. I was also angry and brought the old servant back first. Ever since she was laughed at for eating porridge, Yun has been hiding when she goes to her house. I know she's afraid of being laughed at.
On the wedding night of the 22nd day of the first month of the Gengzi year of Qianlong (1780), they saw that (Yun)'s thin figure was still the same as before. After the headscarf was removed, they looked at (each other) and smiled sweetly."
