There is no phoenix

Zhang Yan's eyes were full of tears at this time, sitting beside Shui Ze, said softly: "Your Majesty, I think you won't be here tonight."

Shui Ze looked at Zhang Yan, hugged Shui Yunqing with one hand, and hugged Zhang Yan with the other: "Yan'er, you should still call me Brother Ze, I'm really not used to you calling me Emperor."

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, my concubine dare not. The concubine is thinking about it now. No matter what happens to the emperor in the future, the concubine will not blame the emperor. The concubine knows that the emperor has a concubine in his heart. However, the concubine knows , Your Majesty belongs to all the people in the world. In your heart, you should not only have courtiers and concubines, but also all people in the world. Yun Qing should also have more younger brothers and sisters, Your Majesty, don’t you think so?”

Shui Ze embraced Zhang Yan and Shui Yunqing, feeling melancholy.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the new Emperor Mizusawa bestowed the title of Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong, on the title of Prince of Beijing, granting amnesty to the world.

At this time, Liaodong, thousands of miles away, was still snowing heavily.Baoyu, Jiahuan, and Jialan have been here for more than a year, and the one who has changed the most is Jiahuan.

When they first came here, it was a scorching summer day, and the barracks trained strictly. Baoyu and Jialan had lost a lot of weight in only ten days, and their fair skin had turned dark.The same is true for Jia Huan, but what is different from Baoyu and Jia Lan is that Jia Huan does not seem to be bored with this kind of training at all, and he is very attentive during training.

When the cold winter came, Baoyu and Jialan's hands and feet developed frostbite early.Especially Baoyu, the chilblains on her feet had festered, and it was difficult for her to walk.A deputy general in the army saw that Baoyu was really unbearable, so he transferred Baoyu to the Huo Army Camp.

Another year of winter, Baoyu and Jia Huan and Jia Lan have been weathered like most soldiers in the barracks, and they will never see the handsome appearance of the son and brother in those days.

When the sound of firecrackers came from the houses near the military camp, Baoyu Jiahuan and Jia Lan knew that this was the second Spring Festival here.After a few months, they will be able to return to the capital after their border guard period expires.

Although Baoyu is only 19 years old, his beard and hair are a little messy, his eyes and body make people feel a little dull, and he looks much older than he actually is.But Jia Huan is different from Jia Lan. Although he is dressed like an ordinary soldier, his body is capable and strong.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Xue Pan came to the barracks to visit the three of them. Seeing Baoyu like this, he helped Baoyu clean up and said a lot of words of comfort.

On the second day of February, Baoyu was busy eating with other Huotou soldiers when a school captain came in and said, "Jia Baoyu, I have good news for you, you can go back soon."

Baoyu only looked at the man, neither happy nor sad, and still concentrated on his work.The captain thought that Baoyu didn't believe it, so he said again: "Jia Baoyu, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne and amnesty the world. All of you who have been on the border for more than a year can go home."

After hearing this, Baoyu asked, "I wonder when we can go back?"

The man said: "It should be soon, our general is checking the roster of you people, you can ask yourself."

After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly said, "Then I'll wait for news from the general. Thank you for telling me."

In the afternoon of the same day, the barracks officially informed Baoyu Jiahuan that Jialan could go home.The three quickly packed their bags and decided to return to the capital early the next morning.

At dusk, Xue Pan also came to the barracks to visit Baoyu's uncle and nephew, saying that he had packed up and went back.

Early the next morning, Xue Pan and Baoyu's uncle and nephew walked together and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Except for Baoyu, Xue Pan and Jia Huan and Jia Lan were very excited.Xue Pan said: "Baoyu, I came here two years earlier than you. To be honest, I like it a little bit. Now I really want to see my mother, my son, and my sister. I will go back when I go back." Join the army."

Jia Huan also said: "Brother Xue, I'll go with you! I like the life in this military camp. If I can't study well, joining the army may not necessarily fail me. As long as there is a war, I don't have to be afraid of death!"

Jia Lan lowered her head and said, "I can't endure these hardships. I still want to study hard. If I can get a job, I can honor my mother."

Seeing that Baoyu was silent, Xue Pan asked quickly, "Baoyu, what about you? I think you really can't bear the hardships of the military camp. You should study hard when you go back. You and Lan'er both study, and Huan'er and I join the army. Given the chance, I think we can still support our family."

Baoyu sighed: "I don't know what I can do. In the military camp, I only learned to chop vegetables and cook. When I go back, I will do whatever the old lady asks me to do."

Xue Pan said: "Baoyu, you and Lan'er have already entered school. As long as you work hard, I think you can pass the exam. I can't get in anyway. It's been almost three years, and I don't know my son What's the matter, you should be able to walk, right?"

Baoyu said: "When I came here, your son could already crawl and walk. It's very good. You must like it."

Not to mention how Baoyu Xuepan and his party returned to Beijing.

But at this time, Jia's mother, from the day when she learned that the new emperor succeeded to the throne and amnesty the world, would ask Jia Zheng almost every day, asking when Baoyu, Jialian and Jiazhen, the frontier guards, would come back.

Jia Zheng said: "Old lady, don't worry, it will take at least half a month for Zhen'er and Lian'er Baoyu to come back, and they need to be able to take a car. If they walk, it will take at least one or two months."

After hearing this, Jia's mother felt a little downcast, but she still looked forward to it every day under the eaves.

On the eighth day of February, Mother Jia was sitting and talking with Mrs. Xing under the eaves, when Wang Ren brought in a servant and brought a large package of things to everyone.

"Old lady, I've wanted to see you for a long time, because the business in my shop is really busy, so I came to see you now." As soon as Wang Ren came in, he greeted Jia Mu more enthusiastically than the previous few times.

When Ping'er and Qiaojie heard this, they rushed out to welcome them.

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "Uncle, thank you for always remembering us and giving us things."

Wang Ren smiled and said, "Old lady, we are relatives after all. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, everyone in your family will be back, and everything will be fine. Because tomorrow is my 30th birthday, I want to take sister Qiao to my house." Live there for a day, I wonder if the old lady is relieved?"

After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly said, "You are Qiaojie's uncle, why should I be worried? Ping'er, you can go with Qiaojie."

Wang Ren sighed: "Old lady, sister Qiao is my sister's only child, how can I be worthy of my sister if I don't love her."

After Wang Ren finished speaking, he handed the package to Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, these are for you, you have to treat Qiao Jie well. You go and pack it now, and I will take you to my place together."

Seeing that Jia's mother had agreed, Ping'er went into the house to pack her things.

Half an hour later, Ping'er and Qiaojie were taken to Wang Ren's residence.Wang Ren arranged Ping'er and Qiaojie in an exquisite room, looked at Ping'er and Qiaojie again and said, "Ping'er, Qiaojie, you wouldn't believe me, my sister died so badly, if it wasn't for You two, I will never go to see people in Jia’s mansion. My younger sister went there when she was only in her 20s. At the beginning, she was married and had children, but she died and became a lonely ghost. Can you not be sad!"

After hearing this, Qiaojie couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "Uncle, I know my mother is not doing well, but both the old lady and my father said that it was my mother who wanted to go back to Jinling."

After hearing this, Wang Ren looked at Sister Qiao seriously and said, "Sister Qiao, thank you for having read poetry and books. Do you know what it means for a woman to be divorced and returned to her natal family after she gets married? Let me tell you, such a person cannot enter the house after death. Jia's ancestral grave, because she is an abandoned woman, she cannot be counted as a member of her husband's family! She can no longer enter the ancestral grave of our Wang family, because she is already married, and she is not counted as a member of our Wang family! Sister Qiao, if I don't put your mother's If the bones are brought out for burial, I'm afraid she can't even do a ghost!"

Sister Qiao couldn't help sobbing when she heard this, and Ping'er wept when she heard it.

Wang Ren said again: "Sister Qiao, you have to remember that your mother's fate is all because of your unbearable father! He likes the new and dislikes the old, he is ruthless and ungrateful! And your unbearable grandfather caused everyone to suffer. Uncle brought you here today, just to ask you a word, if you want, you can stay here with uncle, don’t go back, and uncle will help you find a good family in the future.”

Sister Qiao heard this, wiped her tears and said, "Uncle, I know you are doing it for my own good, but my grandfather is dead, and my father has also been sent into exile. I still have a younger brother. The old lady treats me so well, and I Definitely going back."

When Wang Ren heard this, he was a little displeased and said, "Sister Qiao, do you really want to go back and don't want to stay with uncle?"
