There is no phoenix

This Qunfang Gathering, because Yingchun was injured by Sun Shaozu, made everyone worried, and it was not as happy as the last June.

But there is one thing that comforted Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang, that is, Baoyu already knew about her marriage.

It's just that everyone found that although Baoyu didn't see any unhappiness, he didn't have the joy and joy that a betrothed relative should have.

Not long after lunch, all the sisters chatted and laughed with Jiamu together, and watched Xichun's picture of having fun in the Grand View Garden together.That day, in order for Xichun to paint this painting well, Baochai had to help write the materials and pigments used for the painting. Daiyu once laughed and said that she named the painting "Chewing with Locusts" because she felt that Grandma Liu would give that painting a picture. The Grand View Garden party brought the greatest joy.

Xichun's picture of having fun is a full foot wide.Pavilions, terraces, pavilions, flowers, birds, insects, fish, men, women, old and young, each with their own demeanor, a scene of everyone rejoicing, very realistic.When everyone saw it, they were amazed.

They sat at Jiamu's place for a long time, and then someone from Sun's family came to pick Yingchun back.At Jiamu's place, everyone was afraid that Jiamu would be suspicious, so they just tried to comfort her as usual, and they were reluctant to give up in the spring, but they had no choice but to go back with the Sun's family.

After Yingchun walked for a while, Xiangyun Baochai and Baoqin also got up to say goodbye.Seeing the crowd disperse, Jia's mother felt a little lost for a moment, and she still asked Tanchun Xichun and Daiyu to come and accompany her for dinner at night.

The next day, Mrs. Wang came to tell Mother Jia that Miaoyu had come to ask to move back to the Muni Court, saying that her master had repeatedly asked her to.

Jia Mu thought for a while and said, "Now the mansion is not the same as it used to be. All the opera singers have been sent away, and the monks and nuns are really useless. Besides, they were brought in for a temporary stay at that time. I think we should rely on her."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "I think so too. Since the old lady agrees, I will ask Lin Zhixiao's family to send her back to the Muni Court."

Jia Mu said, "Did Miaoyu say that she will move back someday?"

Mrs. Wang said: "She said today is 26, and she wants to move back on the first day of October."

Jia Mu said: "Forget it, let her go back. She has been here for a few years, and she hasn't caused any trouble for our house. Although she is withdrawn and unwilling to get close to others, she is indeed polite. You just have to send someone back. "

On April 28, Daiyu and Xichun went to Miaoyu's place together.Mei Qing has already told Miaoyu that Shui Rong and Feng Ziying have been ordered by the emperor to arrange for Muniyuan, saying that everything is going well, so Miaoyu can rest assured.

At this time, Miaoyu no longer hides from Xichun, because Xichun is the best confidant in this Grand View Garden besides Daiyu.

Miaoyu told Xichun all her experiences, and said sincerely: "I have lived so far, and only you two are my best friends and sisters. The fourth girl has a relationship with Buddha, and Miss Lin has a relationship with me. I just hope that the three of us, no matter where we are in the future, no matter how our identities change, we will always remember our brotherly sisterhood in the past few years."

Miaoyu gave her green jade bucket to Xichun and said: "This is what I often use. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as tea and water. Although the fourth girl is a few years older than me, I like your temperament." , I hope we can do the same in the future.”

Xichun hurriedly said: "Sister Miaoyu doesn't have to be like this. I knew that my sister must not be an ordinary person. Today, I will recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. It is really gratifying. The gathering is short, and the friendship between you and me will last. I only hope that we still have a day to see!" "

Daiyu smiled and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry, we will definitely meet again."

Xichun said: "Sister Lin, if you go back to Gusu, I will definitely find a way to go to Gusu to see you. If you are still in the capital, can I go to you? I know that my uncle is not an ordinary person, and I will definitely have a good relationship with my sister in the future." arrange."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Of course. I don't have any real sisters, and you are just like my real sisters."

Miaoyu said: "Let's play chess well, the three of us. After I go out, the next time we meet, I don't know when it will be."

Xichun said: "Sister Miaoyu, it may be easier for me to meet with Sister Lin, but since you entered the palace, I'm afraid it's really impossible to see you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry. Sister Miaoyu will be a princess when she enters the palace, and the emperor will give her a marriage soon. When Sister Miaoyu is married, we will go to her son-in-law's house."

Miaoyu blushed, and said with a smile, "You little sister Xiaoxiang, your mouth is like a knife, I'm afraid I haven't married yet, you two will get married first."

After hearing this, Xichun said seriously: "I will tell my two sisters that I don't want to marry. The matter of the second sister has woken me up. If they let me marry randomly, I will not accept my fate like the second sister!"

Miaoyu was a little puzzled.Daiyu had no choice but to talk about what happened to Yingchun, and Miaoyu sighed: "This old man is very good. He values ​​money more than his own daughter. Fortunately, he is still a hereditary first-class general."

Xichun said: "Speaking of things in the mansion, I really envy you two! Because you two can leave if you want. Now I feel ashamed of my surname Jia! I don't know how those men in the family are educated and become officials. Yes, what absurd thing, people can't think of it, but they can do it! I'm afraid that one day, when disaster strikes, they are still obsessed with their obsession!"

Daiyu thought of what she had heard about Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Amnesty, and what Sister Feng had done about Brother Jin and Sister You.Can't help but sigh: "To tell the truth, I'm also worried about them. Although I'm going to leave here during the Chinese New Year, but considering that the old lady is so old, she can be regarded as my closest person right now. Aunt, sister-in-law, you and the third sister Four sisters, many of them are innocent. We are a girl’s family, we can all see clearly, I don’t know what uncles and cousins ​​are thinking, whether they are pretending to be confused or they really don’t know! I just hope they can wake up as soon as possible, and don’t really let people in the house Woe!"

Xichun sighed: "Sometimes I really envy those birds with wings, they can go wherever they want. They don't think about what I say now, but they say I'm weird and confused. I don't want to say it now, the more I say it , the more they dislike me. My own brother and sister-in-law are like this, let alone other people! Maybe soon, I really want to find a home of my own."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, don't think about becoming a monk. Don't worry, since I promised you, if I go to Gusu, you can find me if you come. My old house is enough for the two of us. Live. If I stay here, I will have a place for you if I have a place to live. However, I have to wait until my Uncle Lin comes to find out."

Xichun said: "Sister, don't worry, if I want to leave here, I will first think of a perfect plan, and I will never find you easily, and I will not add trouble to others. Now, don't think about those trivial matters, let everything go according to fate, the three of us have a good time." Play a few games of chess!"

On the morning of October, both Daiyu and Tanchun Xichun came to Changcui Nunnery to bid farewell to Miaoyu.Xichun sent a picture of red plums to Miaoyu, Tanchun is a picture, and Daiyu is a manuscript copy of "Zhuangzi".Miaoyu presented Xichun with a white jade Guanyin, Tanchun with a famous inkstone and a hand-copied "Diamond Sutra", and Daiyu was an exquisite bamboo jade carving.In addition, Miaoyu asked Tanchun to give Jia Mu a string of Buddhist beads and a hand-copied volume of scriptures, and Mrs. Wang also hand-copied a volume of scriptures, saying that she was grateful for the care she received in Jia's mansion for several years.

On the second day after Miaoyu left Jia's mansion, Baoyu came to Changcui nunnery.However, Miaoyu had already left, leaving only an empty nunnery.

It turned out that Baoyu didn't know that Miaoyu was leaving the Grand View Garden.Because Jia's mother said that Baoyu should cultivate well, although Baoyu didn't go to school, she didn't hear the news of Miaoyu's departure in Yihongyuan.

Because Qiuwen and Sheyue were going to report to Mrs. Wang about Baoyu, they heard that Miaoyu had left the Grand View Garden yesterday on the way, so they returned to Yihongyuan and told Baoyu after Miaoyu had left.After hearing this, Baoyu thought of many things about Miaoyu, and hurried to Quicui nunnery, but there were already people going to the nunnery.

Looking at the empty nunnery and the plum tree in the corner by the gate, Baoyu sighed and said, "We're all going, we're all going!"

Baoyu turned around and walked, thinking of Yingchun who had been out of the pavilion for a hard life, Miaoyu who was leaving now, Xiangyun Baoqin who was about to marry a wife, and Daiyu who was going to leave after the next year, she could not help but burst into tears.

Sitting by the rocks by the lake, looking at the autumn scenery of the Grand View Garden, Baoyu couldn't express his melancholy and sadness.

Playing and joking with the sisters, forming associations and reciting poems against each other, drinking and fighting with girls on moonlit nights, appealing to Daiyu Bridge, burying flowers in the corner of the wall, watching "Hui Zhen Ji" together on the rocks, and strolling up and down the Grand View Garden with Hefu, Things like this echoed in Baoyu's mind like a dream.

Now there is still Xichun Tanchun and Daiyu in the Grand View Garden, but Tanchun is busy with housekeeping, Xichun likes to read and paint in the house, and there is already a high wall between Daiyu and herself that can no longer be overcome.

"Second Master Bao, go to the old lady quickly, there is a great event in the house, the old lady tells you to go there quickly!"

Baoyu was weeping sadly, only to see Qiuwen rushing over and said.

After hearing this, Baoyu sighed and wiped away his tears, so he had to follow Qiuwen to Jiamu's place.
