There is no phoenix

But when everyone saw Miaoyu coming in, they couldn't help but look around.

Although Miaoyu was wearing black clothes, she didn't wear a monk's hat on her head. Instead, she tied her waterfall-like long hair with two light blue silk scarves, and she didn't have any accessories on her body.Miaoyu's face is like jade, her temperament is like orchid, and her figure is thin. She looks like an untouched fairy in the world, and everyone is holding their breath.

I saw Miaoyu approaching slowly, bowing to Jia Mu and saying, "Miaoyu pays homage to the old lady!"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Miss Miaoyu doesn't need to do this big gift. I heard you are from Suzhou?"

Miaoyu said: "Yes."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Miss Miaoyu, you came just in time. I have a fellow villager like you here, and her hometown is also from Gusu." Jia Mu called Daiyu as she spoke, "Look, Miss Miaoyu, this is My granddaughter, Daiyu, is surnamed Lin. I also heard that Miss Miaoyu is very good at poetry and books, and my granddaughter also likes poetry and books very much, and my granddaughters, you can also get together when you have time. It’s a girl’s house, don’t look outside.”

Miaoyu listened, looked at Daiyu, hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Miaoyu has met Miss Lin!"

Daiyu hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "Daiyu is younger than Sister Miaoyu, I should pay my respects first!"

Miaoyu greeted Yingchun Tanchun Xichun one by one, and Sanchun hurriedly returned the gift.

When Jiamu saw her, she smiled and said, "I see that you are all about the same age. In the future, you will learn from each other in reading, playing chess and writing. Girls can't go out, so you can get together in the mansion."

Xichun approached Miaoyu and said, "Sister Miaoyu, I also like reading scriptures and copying scriptures. After a few days of rest, I will ask you to borrow scriptures to read, okay?"

Seeing that Xichun was only in his early tenth year, Miaoyu said that he likes to read scriptures and copy scriptures. She was a little surprised and nodded quickly, "Of course." Then she said to Jiamu: "Old lady, I just came here today, and I'm going to the nunnery. Clean up and settle down here, and I will greet the old lady some other day!"

Jia Mu said: "Okay, you go, you just came today, so you can rest."

Watching Lin Zhixiao's family lead Miaoyu away, Baoyu immediately jumped in front of Jiamu and said, "Old Ancestor, I just said that I can't speak with my eyes. Do you think I did it?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's hard for you to stand in meditation just now. I think this Miaoyu is really neat and reasonable. What do you think?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I think she's pretty good."

Xichun also said: "Me too. I think she is from the big family."

Tanchun said: "I think she is pretty good, but I'm afraid it's hard to get close to her, she seems very lonely."

Yingchun also said: "It's really hard to get close to such a person, she didn't say a word just now."

Baoyu approached Daiyu and said: "Sister Lin, you can go and see Miaoyu's handwriting some other day, and you will know if she is talented. You are fellows from Gusu, and you will get to know each other soon."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily the case. Haven't you heard the saying 'different ways, no conspiracy'? Maybe her temperament is different from mine."

At noon the next day, Jia Zheng brought back the good news of the inscription.It turned out that the emperor Shui Ruoyang had already been approved by Zhu to play: on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year, Concubine Jia was allowed to visit relatives.However, because both the empress and the empress dowager passed away not long ago, the time for Concubine Enzhun Yuan to return home after visiting relatives was set after Xuchu (now after [-] pm) of the Lantern Festival.

Knowing that Concubine Yuan's family visit had been decided on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia's mansion rejoiced and rejoiced.Although there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, with such a rare decree, Jia's family has never been idle day and night, and the New Year has never been easy.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Since the early morning, many people in Jia's mansion have been up and busy, fearing that there is something wrong that hasn't been done well.

After breakfast, those who are nobles, such as Jia Mu, all wear big makeup according to their products.Everywhere in the garden, dragons are dancing in the tents, colorful phoenixes are flying in the curtains, gold and silver are shining brightly, jewels are competing for splendor, the incense of lilies is burning on the tripod, and the stamens of Changchun are inserted in the vases. It is quiet and no one is coughing.Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu was waiting outside the gate of Rongfu.The streets and alleys are all blocked by curtains.

Although they knew that Concubine Yuan would not leave the palace until Xu Chu to return to visit relatives, but Jiamu and the others did not dare to neglect at all, and they never had a good lunch or dinner.

Finally, when Concubine Yuan was about to arrive at the mansion, Jia Amnesty led the He clan's nephews outside the West Street Gate, and Jia Mu led the He clan's female relatives to greet them outside the gate.Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak a word.

Suddenly, a pair of red-clothed eunuchs came slowly on horseback, got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the enclosure, and stood there with their hands down.Half a day is another pair, and the same is true.When I was young, a dozen or so pairs came, and I could hear the faint sound of joy.Pairs of dragons and phoenixes, pheasant feathers and Kui heads, and gold burners burning royal incense, and then a golden umbrella with seven phoenixes on a crank came over, which was the crown robe and shoes.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, dust whisks and so on.After the teams passed by, eight eunuchs came slowly behind them, carrying a gold-topped golden phoenix-embroidered phoenix.Mother Jia and others knelt down by the roadside.

The eunuch who came along hurriedly helped Jia Mu up.The golden-roofed and embroidered phoenix version of the concubine Yuan entered the gate, then got off the chariot and entered the room, returned after changing clothes, and went up to enter the garden.I saw all kinds of colorful lanterns in the courtyard and garden, all tied with gauze and silk, very delicate.Cigarettes are lingering, flowers are colorful, lights are everywhere, and music is loud from time to time. I can't say enough about the peaceful atmosphere, wealth and elegance.

Seeing the luxury inside and outside the garden, Concubine Yuan sighed silently for the extravagance.After boarding the boat with Yu to visit the various scenery in the courtyard, the concubine Yuan went to change her clothes and gave family gifts to Mrs. Jia Muwang.

Seeing how respectful the whole room of family members are to her, thinking of her loneliness and helplessness in the palace for the past ten years, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears.I thought that when I was only 13 years old, I was sent to the palace. Like thousands of other court ladies, I hardly ever saw the emperor.Now she is a 24-year-old girl who got the grace by chance.

Seeing Concubine Yuan talk less and cry more, Sanchun wept with Concubine Yuan when she saw Concubine Yuan like this.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng rushed forward to comfort them.

For a while, the male family members of the mansion, as well as the deacons of the east and west mansions, and the daughter-in-law and maidservants of the deacons of the two mansions all saluted outside the hall.After the salute, Concubine Yuan asked about Daiyu and Aunt Xue's family, and Mother Jia hurriedly asked for these people to come to see the ceremony and have a banquet with Concubine Yuan.

After the banquet, Concubine Yuan asked Baoyu and all the sisters to write poems for the places whose names had been drawn up.Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and they wrote it out with all their heart.Concubine Yuan read them one by one, and praised: "After all, Sister Xue is different from Sister Lin. At this age, you can write such poems. It is worth learning from Baoyu and your sisters."

When Baoyu and Yingchun Tanchun Xichun heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

After reading the poems of these people, Jia Mu and others accompanied Yuan Fei to the theater.After watching the play, Concubine Yuan asked the eunuch to present gifts to the whole family.After everyone thanked you, the deacon and eunuch said: "It's already three quarters of the ugly, please drive back to Luan."

After hearing this, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but tears rolled down her eyes again.But he forced a laugh, held Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's hands tightly, and couldn't bear to let go, and reminded him again and again: "Don't worry about it, so you can support yourself. If today's kindness is so great, I will go to introspection once a month and see each other. It’s all there, so there’s no need to hurt it. If God’s grace is still returned to me next year, I must not spend such extravagance!” Jia Mu and others were choked with tears.

Seeing Concubine Yuan leave with the chariot, Daiyu, Baochai and Sanchun sisters couldn't help feeling melancholy.

In the eyes of these girls in their teens, the graceful and luxurious Concubine Yuan, a rare visit to relatives, shed tears in public many times, which made them understand for the first time that leaving their own home, especially after getting married, even if they are well-clothed and well-fed Not necessarily happy and carefree.

Wealth and luxury are all in the clouds, and the peace and comfort are in the homes of ordinary people.Concubine Yuan's visiting relatives not only left Sanchun melancholy, but what else?And see below.
