Wu Ruixian, Mingqi, alias Buddha Mei, a native of Changzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, lived in Hua'an. His grandfather, Wu Ting'an, was a political envoy in the Ming Dynasty, and his father, Marquis Wu Jian, was filial piety. Wu Ruixian's husband Guan Xun was a friend of the Fushe who ventured to open up Xinjiang, and was killed because of the defeat of the anti-Qing incident.

Wu Ruixian crossed the river alone to take refuge in Mao Bijiang, and Mao Bijiang placed her in the deep green mountain house by the washing bowl pool. When Wu Ruixian came to the Water Painting Garden, it happened that Dong Xiaowan had just died, and Mao Bijiang and Wu Ruixian had the same illness, so they fell in love for a long time.

But later, Wu Ruixian was unwilling to get involved in the fact that Mao Bijiang had already accepted the maidservant Wu Buckle as a concubine. In order to avoid contradictions, she wrote in a poem to Mao Bijiang: "Since the empty door is allowed to descend tigers and leopards, how can you tolerate weak water to put mandarin ducks, Qiluo has thanked the front shadow of the flower, and the bowl chats as a person in the clouds." "The idea that he is willing to escape into the empty door.

It is not good to force the frontier to stay, so Wu Ruixian chose by himself, and built a small temple next to the Yanghua Bridge in the south of the city. After Wu Ruixian's death, Mao Bijiang once went alone to pay his respects and had an inscription engraved in the stone temple: "Don't leave the temple, the spring birds call, I don't see the flower people that day, but I see today's words with a smile." Spring flowers sometimes fall and bloom again, and it is difficult to come back once the jade face is gone. Only in the deepest part of the barren smoke and vines, the clouds are still looking at Gusutai. ”

In the southern suburbs of the city, there was once a small temple, the name of the temple is quite sad, called the Farewell Temple, this temple name comes from the "Chu Ci Nine Songs" in the sad and sad parting, this sentence means that there is no more sad than living apart, the relationship between the small temple and Wu Ruixian behind the small temple is still embarrassing.

Wu Ruixian was a native of Suzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, born in a wealthy family, received a good family education since childhood, and was good at poetry and painting. Her husband Guan Xun was a good friend of Mao Bijiang in Fushe, and later Guan Xun was killed because of the defeat of the anti-Qing incident, and Wu Ruixian crossed the river alone and took refuge in Mao Bijiang. On the way, she was robbed by bandits, humiliated by gangsters, and took great pains to arrive in Rugao, and risked her to settle her in the deep green mountain house.

Chen Weisong also defected to Rugao at this time, he was only more than a year earlier than Wu Ruixian, and they both lived in the deep green mountain house and knew each other well. Chen Weisong put Wu Ruixian on a par with Liu Lingxian, a female poet of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, saying that her poetry was talented and handsome.

Speaking of Wu Ruixian, it is impossible not to mention Wu Ruixian's two close friends Zhou Yubu and Fan Shu. Zhou Yubu is a world-famous Suzhou talented woman, and Fan Shu is a famous female poet of the Rugao Qing Dynasty, and their fate is quite sad. In the winter of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, Zhou Yubu visited the water painting nunnery because of his visit to his best friend Wu Ruixian, Fan Shu and Zhou Yubu and Wu Ruixian were sick and sympathetic, and they gave each other endless poems. The poetry and literary exchanges of these three celebrities can be regarded as a good story in the cultural history of Rugao in the Qing Dynasty, and it can be said that Mao Bijiang has fulfilled this good story, but the most worrying thing is the story between Mao Bijiang and Wu Ruixian.

Wu Ruixian is not only beautiful in appearance and meticulously painted in poetry, but also a woman in temperament. The first time she arrived at the Water Painting Garden was after Dong Xiaowan's death, at this time, Mao Bijiang was still immersed in grief, and the two sympathized with each other and comforted each other. Cai Han, the youngest daughter of Cai Mengzhao, the chief housekeeper of Maofu, worshiped Wu Ruixian as a teacher and learned poetry and painting, which is the reason why Wu Ruixian lived in the water painting hermitage.

Mao Bijiang and Wu Ruixian often write poems and papers in the water painting nunnery, which is quite silent and comfortable, and they have been in love for a long time. However, in the face of the fact that Mao Bijiang had already accepted the maid Wu Buckle, Wu Ruixian was unwilling to get involved and win people's love, so she broke off with Mao Bijiang. Seeing that Wu Ruixian's idea of escaping into the empty door to practice had been decided, it was not good to force him to stay, so Wu Ruixian chose by himself and built a small temple next to the Yanghua Bridge in the south of the city. Wu Ruixian washed his heart and converted his life, changed his name to Shangjian, the law name Huizong, the lonely shadow of the green light, and ate fasting and chanted Buddha.

Wu Ruixian wrote poems in the temple, this poem has a lot of allusions, full of pearls, the meaning of the true love is far away, and the love for the frontier is clear on the paper.

"Yuanting books with grass are so numerous, and the autumn water is like an orchid. There are guests who will stay on Xu Ru's couch, and Meng Jiaguan will not be left behind. Listen to the shallow and deep flowing water piano, and look at the green mountain painting near and far. The fairy mother is also known as a corporal, and she came to Pei Shanshan at a feast. Ye Hou immortal bones are super dusty, why not reduce Zhang Xu's body back then. Boya does not leave behind Qin and Han sentences, and the romance is still like the Jin and Tang dynasties. Leave the title stone wall beads for spit, put the feet of green mountains and flowers as Yin. The bone dyes the smoke and the smoke is called longevity, and the peach and silver candle raise the innocence. ”

Wu Ruixian lived in the parting temple for at least thirteen years, a hard-working talented woman, broke her heart for herself, worked hard in the small temple for more than ten years, and finally died of depression, which made Mao Bijiang very sad.

Mao Bijiang once led the same people to hang, the name of the temple was parting, and later Li Youyuan also went to this temple in person and composed a poem: "Farewell to the temple, the spring birds called, not seeing the day such as the flower people, but seeing today's flowers smiling." Spring flowers sometimes fall and bloom again, and it is difficult to come back once the jade face is gone. Only now the deepest part of the barren smoke and vines, the soul is still looking at Gusutai. The yellow crown feather is far away, and the sea is a thousand-year-old story. Why don't you recite the Yellow Court and chant the sorrowful sentences in front of the empty flowers. Looking back on the life experience, the wild birds and flowers send the sunset. Please look at today's farewell to the temple, and the gods always break their bowels. This poem is really breathtaking to read.

Rugao left the temple to raise a fan roots, but to the Suzhou female nun Huizong, who was in love with the frontier, and a stunning beauty who led the cultivation in the private nunnery, full of poetry and books, and secretly born in love, but it was a tragic ending. Wu Ruixian became a monk in Rugao, lived in Rugao for a long time, and died in Rugao, it is appropriate to call her Rugao Miaoyu.

This poignant story that is enough to make literati and ink writers cry may make many tourists and pilgrims forget to return and worry about it.

In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Mao Bijiang officially upgraded Wu Koukou to a concubine, but Wu Nu suddenly fell ill in June, and died of illness two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the age of 19, but Wu Koukou's name has been decided, in fact, she has already been a person who has taken the liberty of Xinjiang, Wu Koukou was buried in the southern suburbs of the city.

Wu buckle, the name Meilan, the word Xiangyi, the small character buckle. Chongzhen was born in the sixteenth year, originally from Zhenzhou, living with his father, Yinghui is different from ordinary people, and the eyebrows and eyes are light color. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Dong Xiaowan, who had been married to Mao Bijiang for several years, bought her as a maid when she saw her, and said to Mao Bijiang: "This girl is a good thing in the sun." Later, he really became one of the most favored concubines in Mao Bijiang.

Among all the concubines in Mao Bijiang, the most virtuous is Dong Xiaowan, the most regrettable is Chen Yuanyuan, who only has a marriage contract with him, the most capable of painting is Cai Han and Jin Yue in the history of Mao's double paintings, the most dexterous and cute, Wu Xiangyi, the most subtle is Wu Xiangyi, the most low-key is Zhang, who gave birth to a daughter, and the most mysterious is: "After Magu goes, my sister-in-law is idle, and she is left alone and returns early." "It seems that there are still concubines in Mao Bijiang who died before Dong Xiaowan.

There are a total of seven concubines who have taken the liberty of Xinjiang, plus the famous singer Wang Jie, confidantes Li Xiangzhen and Wu Ruixian who he knew in his early years. Mao Bijiang had a close relationship with these ten women throughout his life, and of course a daughter born to his mother, eldest sister, and Yuan's wife, Su Yuanfang, and Zhang. Among so many women, they vaguely like buttons the most.

The surname of the buckle is Wu, the name is Meilan, the word Xiangyi, and the small character buckle. Originally from Zhenzhou, he lived with his father in Rugao, learned to write from his father at the age of eight, learned the Gofa method, and was different from ordinary people, and the eyebrows and eyes were light color.

"Lin Yuan is talking about the waves, and Xiao Ji is pampered with red dew. Who can see the infatuated clouds, and two mandarin ducks flew up on the embankment. In the small pavilion of Yunshui Township in Xiangzhong, there are people like jade and a common study. Sango should not have this in the past, and won the romance and annoyance. ”

The personality of the buckle is flexible, and the handling of various affairs is safe and fast, and it is very happy to venture out of the territory. Buckle is a clever person, of course, she is separated from other daughters like water. In June of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, Wu Koukou suddenly fell ill, only a month ill, and died two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cai Nuluo, Minghan, Yuanyu, Jin Xiaozhu, Mingyue, Yushan. Both of them were born in Wu County, Suzhou, and later returned to Mao Bijiang, Cai Nu Luo Gong painted, Jin Xiaozhu ruled the seal, and was called the history of Mao's double paintings. When Dong Xiaowan was alive, the two were difficult to be favored, and they were idle in the Dyeing Incense Pavilion to make "Water Painting Garden Map", etc., and their artistic achievements were quite high. After Dong Xiaowan's death, Mao Bijiang officially accepted the two as concubines, Cai Nuluo died at the age of forty, Jin Xiaozhu died after him, and the two daughters were buried in Maojia Longyuan, known as Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Jin.

When it comes to Mao Bijiang, most people will naturally think of Dong Xiaowan, Dong Xiaowan and Mao Bijiang's love story, humanistic rhyme, and poetic feelings, such as Cai Han and Jin Yue, the other two talented women of the Gao Mao family, that is, Cai Nuluo of Mrs. Cai and Jin Xiaozhu of Mrs. Jin.

Cai Han was born in Shunzhi for four years, her family is a famous family in Wu County, her father Cai Meng Zhaoxian poetry, many skills, old and childless, gave birth to Cai Han at the age of forty, regarded her as the pearl of the palm. Cai Han is wise and quiet by nature, knows books and interprets poetry, knows Zen theory, and is very filial to his father. After Cai Han was fifteen years old, the Cai family said that matchmakers came one after another, but none of them could satisfy Cai Mengzhao, and finally Cai Mengzhao resolutely married Cai Han to Mao Bijiang, that year was the fourth year of Kangxi, and Cai Han was nineteen years old.

At that time, Du Jun happened to live in the Hanbi Hall of Rugao Water Painting Garden, Du Jun was Du Yuhuang, No. Tea Village, a native of Huanggang, Hubei, born in the 39th year of Wanli of Mingshenzong, and died in the 26th year of the Qing Dynasty Shengzu Kangxi, at the age of 77. When he was young, he was suave and suave, and he was a deputy tribute student, and he had no ambition in his life, but deliberately wrote poetry.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he fled to Jinling and lived in Jiming Mountain. There are several thatched huts, the beams are decaying, and people who ask for poetry come one after another, and he will never agree. His personality is incorruptible, he is not easily favored, he is poor and hungry in his later years, and he is willing to taste like a taste, and later he becomes poorer and poorer, and he travels between Weiyang, and is friendly with Mao Bijiang.

Du Jun was invited to take the word Nu Luo for Cai Han, Du Jun believes that the name Han, if the word takes the meaning of aroma and Shu Tu, it is too cheesy. He thinks that Cai Hande's words and achievements are different from ordinary women, and his personality is quiet and indifferent, and he has the demeanor of a celebrity, and he can compare Luo Han, a famous man under the curtain of Sima Huan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, he gave her the word Nuluo, and he was extremely satisfied with this number.

Cai Han firmly believes in Buddhism, eats fasting and recites Buddha, sends love to calligraphy and painting, and has superb painting skills, and once studied painting under Wu Qi in Cheung Chau. Wu Qi is Wu Ruixian, married to Guan Xun, after Guan Xun died, Wu Qi went to Mao Bijiang, when Mao Bijiang wanted to accept her as a side room, Mao Bijiang married a concubine Wu Buckle, and later Wu Ruixian cut his hair for a nun, called Huizong, and lived in Rugao Farewell Temple.

Cai Han took the opportunity to live in the Water Painting Garden in Wu Ruixian, and learned to paint from her, she copied Li Longmian's blue and painted waterfowl, fish, flowers and plants vividly, especially famous for painting pine and ink phoenix. On the day of Cai Han's thirtieth birthday, he held a banquet in Yangzhou, hung the phoenix and turquoise stone painted by Cai Han on the four walls in advance, and invited 16 celebrities to the banquet to appreciate the paintings and poems to celebrate Cai Han's birthday. Cai Han was undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of the banquet that day, in addition to Wu Qi, celebrities at that time, Zhou Sisheng, Yao Ruoyi, Wang Ji, etc., all had poems to give. Ancient Song is not a weak wrist in the boudoir, but Cai Han can put loose strokes, dripping pen and ink, and is appreciated by the doctor.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, Cai Han's father Cai Mengzhao died at the age of eighty. Cai Han fell ill due to excessive grief, and sought medical treatment in many ways, but Cai Han's illness was not cured, and Cai Han died of illness in the same year at the age of 40. He braved the frontier to Yangzhou, set up a fast for Cai Han in Tianning Temple, and sent invitations to recruit friends, saying that he wanted to make Cai Han's birthday.

Wang Maolin was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "When Cai Han was thirty years old, I lived in Yangzhou and once recruited guests and friends. During the banquet, I said to Cai Han, the day you are forty years old, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you. Ten years have passed, and I am still in good health, so I said to Cai Han, do you remember what I said when I was thirty years old? I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for your birthday in another ten years, and I must wish you a birthday. Where did I think that Cai Han died suddenly, it was too late for me to fulfill my promise, today I can't bear to live up to Cai Han, so I insist on making a birthday for Cai Han, who passed away. ”

Many people think that Mao Bijiang's favorite person is Dong Xiaowan, since Dong Xiaowan is dead, Mao Bijiang should be very dissipated, miss Dong Xiaowan for the rest of his life, and he is not allowed to take concubines, and he is not allowed to look for flowers and willows. In fact, Mao Bijiang was grief-stricken for the death of everyone he loved, Dong Xiaowan, Wu Koukou, and until now Cai Han, everyone poured out all his hard work.

At Cai Han's birthday party when he was 30 years old, all the celebrities who visited gave poems to him, but most of the people's poems mentioned that another person did not come. There are still two men in the golden boudoir, which means that there is not only Cai Han in the water painting garden, but also a Jin Yue.

Jin Yue, the word Xiaozhu, the number Yuanyu, she is a native of Kunshan, she is smart in her childhood, proficient in music and rhythm, and is the concubine of Kangxi's six years in Mao Bijiang, after Cai Han's early death, Mao Bijiang mainly relies on Jin Yue to take care of her. In the fifteenth year of Kangxi, Jin Yue framed twenty kinds of old flowers and birds copied into a book, Wang Maolin saw it in his apartment in Taizhou, and insisted on exchanging two letters of Xuande palace incense and other antiques for the second volume, and Jin Yue was looking for palace incense at that time.

Jin Yue is famous for painting people, flowers and birds, fairy Buddha, Kangxi 19 years, venturing to get a cloud with Gao Kegong imitation Mi Fu's landscape small, this painting is a little damaged, but the original charm is still there. Jin Yue's copy of this painting is vivid, which is rare among female painters.

Mao Bijiang and Cai Han slept in the Baoyi Pavilion next to the Dequan Hall of the Mao family's ancestral house, at midnight, the thunderstorm was raging, and Cai Han suddenly felt that something in his ears was emitting light in his dream. She came over in surprise, only to see a raging fire in the pavilion, Cai Han shouted loudly, helped Mao Bijiang to get up, and Jin Yue, who lived in the incense dyeing pavilion next to her, also rushed to the rescue with her servants through the fire.

The burning of the Dyeing Incense Pavilion made all the Dingyi paintings and calligraphy collected by Mao Bijiang for many years turn into ashes, and the destruction of the Bao Yi Pavilion and Qian Qianyi's Qianyun Xuan can be called the two major disasters of the Jianghuai Literati Library, and this calamity also heralds the decline of the two Xuanhe families. Since then, the Maojia family has been in trouble, the Water Painting Garden has been abandoned, and the ancestral industry of Maojia Lane has been sold out. In his later years, he was destitute, and Jin Yue stayed by his side until he was old.
