Concubine Yuan visits the bride

Jia Baoyu has an eldest sister named Jia Yuanchun. She was born on the first day of the first lunar month, so she was named Yuanchun. When Yuanchun was a teenager, he was elected to the palace and was not allowed to see his family.

Fortunately, after Yuanchun entered the palace, she was named a noble concubine, that is, Yuanfei. According to regulations, a woman who enters the palace has no chance to leave the palace to meet her parents and relatives. In the novel, the emperor gave Yuanchun a great gift, allowing her to go home to visit her relatives and meet her relatives.

? In ancient times, when emperors traveled, the place they lived was called the Ligong. The Ligong was only for the emperor to live in. After the emperor left, outsiders could not live there. Concubine Yuan was the emperor's beloved concubine and the emperor's woman. Of course, relatives could not live in the Jia family and needed to build a special residence. Therefore, in order for Concubine Yuan to visit her relatives, the Jia family spent a lot of money to build the Grand View Garden for Yuanchun to live and play temporarily. This was also a sign of the Jia family's transition from prosperity to decline.

On the day Yuanchun came back, she couldn't help crying when she saw her parents and grandmother kneeling to her as a monarch and a minister. Since ancient times, children have knelt down to their parents and elders, but now they have different statuses and must abide by the etiquette of monarch and minister, but cannot abide by the etiquette of father and son. When Yuanchun saw her grandmother and mother crying, she said to them with tears in her eyes: "Don't cry. After sending me to that place where no one can see people, I finally came home today. The ladies don't talk and laugh together. Why?" Start crying instead? I'll be gone soon, and I don't know how long it will be before we meet again." Her words expressed the helplessness and sadness of entering the palace.

In order for the Jia family to be prosperous and prosperous, the men of the family continued to be extravagant, lustful and bullying men and women, but they did not care about the happiness of their daughter; leaving Yuanchun alone in the palace to bear the ups and downs of the family, who can understand her fear and fear? Walking on thin ice? I am nothing more than a gorgeous walking zombie, with no love at all, and even family reunion has become a luxury.

It is the author's gift and sympathy that Yuanchun can come back to visit his relatives. It is also through Yuanchun's words that ancient society was willing to sacrifice women for the continuation of family power.

Compared to ancient women, they couldn’t be happier to live in modern times. I don’t want to travel through ancient times.
