Entering the Red Chamber: Qingwen, rush forward!

Chapter 556

Xing Yanyan knew her parents were miserable since she was a child. She tried to persuade her a few times, but she was kicked out each time after being scolded.

Little Xiuyan had nowhere to relieve her worries, so she could only find a small corner and cry bitterly.

Next door to her house is a small nunnery, which is extremely clean, but there are few outsiders.

One day, she was secretly crying under the Bodhi tree behind the nunnery, when suddenly she heard someone asking in a low voice: "Little girl, you are young, what can you worry about? Why are you crying here alone? Could it be that stealing sweets was discovered by your mother?"

This voice sounded so loving and warm to Xiao Xiuyan, her whole small body was immersed in it, becoming warm and comfortable beyond words.

Is Guanyin Bodhisattva here?It must be Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering, otherwise, how could there be such a beautiful voice in this world?

Xiuyan raised her head tremblingly, but saw a very beautiful and kind woman standing in front of her.

She was looking at herself with a smile, with indescribable tenderness and kindness in her eyes.

For a moment, Xiuyan felt as if she had met her closest relative in the world.She fell to the ground in a hurry and kowtowed: "Are you Guanyin Bodhisattva who descended to earth? Why are you so young?"

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help laughing "puchi", stretched out her hand to hold up Xiuyan and said, "You don't dare to confuse me, what kind of Guanyin Bodhisattva am I? I'm only a few years older than you. Take a good look at it." .”

After hearing this, Xiao Xiuyan raised her head and took a closer look: she saw a young girl in Taoist gown standing in front of her, a head taller than herself, although her appearance was extremely beautiful, one could see that she was immature Come.

"This... are you sister Guanyin?"

Xiuyan asked strangely.

The woman smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not Guanyin, but my elder sister. Just call me elder sister. Why are you crying here alone? I've heard it many times, and I couldn't bear it until I came out." Have a look. Are your parents treating you badly?"

Xiuyan only felt that the elder sister in front of her had an appearance and aura like a fairy descending from heaven, she had long admired her in her heart, when she heard her question, she immediately couldn't help crying: "Sister, I'm crying because my parents won't listen to my persuasion , they always do bad things.”

The woman felt strange when she heard this, and asked, "Then what bad things did your parents do? It made you so sad."

Xiuyan wiped her tears, and said with a sob: "Other people's parents are very diligent every day, they don't know how to weave cloth and raise silkworms, they just farm and do business, but my parents are messing around with a group of lazy people all day long. I heard they are gambling. , isn't that a very bad thing? I advised my parents not to hang out with those lazy people, but they didn't listen and scolded me. My grandmother fell ill and died because of this... I don't like them ..."

The woman originally thought that Xiuyan cried bitterly all day long because her parents didn't buy her candy, or her siblings bullied her, so she often cried secretly here.

When she heard that the little girl was worried because her parents were not doing their job properly, she couldn't help being shocked, she took a closer look at Xiuyan, and saw that although this girl was not very beautiful, her eyes were as black as lacquer , the fundus is clear and transparent.

The woman couldn't help liking her, and stretched out her hand to hold her and praised her: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to know good and bad at such a young age, much better than many adults! Can you know how to read and write?"

Xiuyan shook her head and said: "My parents said that I am a girl, even if I know how to study again, it is useless, so they didn't ask me to enroll in school, I only know my name and a few simple words."

After hearing this, the woman said with admiration and regret: "It turns out that you are born smart and sensible. I like you very much. How about it? From now on, you come over every afternoon. I have an hour to spare. I will teach you how to read and write." , how are you?"

After hearing this, Xiuyan jumped up and said, "Okay, I really want to learn to read and write, sister Bodhisattva is really willing to teach me?"

The woman smiled and said: "Of course I will. You are naturally sensible, a hundred times better than many adults. It would be a pity if you don't study and practice calligraphy. It is also because of the fate between the two of us. Come here, and I promise to teach you well." Just one thing, you are absolutely not allowed to tell this to a third person, if anyone else knows besides you and me, then I will never see you again."

Xiuyan happily agreed immediately, then kowtowed on the ground again to recognize her master.From then on, whenever Xiao Xiuyan had time, she would come to the nunnery to learn to write and read with this woman, and even learned to recite poems and write poems.

Time passed day by day, Xiao Xiuyan came to study with this woman on time every day, no matter the weather.Because she is smart and willing to endure hardships, this woman treats her more and more intimately.At first they were known as mentors and apprentices, and later became half-teacher and half-friends, and then they were as close as sisters.

Xing Xiuyan slowly realized that this woman, named Miaoyu, had just become a monk with her master not long ago, and she was the most clean and noble person in the world.

Xing Yanyan gradually discovered that the origin of this master Miaoyu is definitely not trivial.She sometimes wears secular clothes on weekdays, and the materials are so luxurious and exquisite that it is rare to see a few of them even in the whole city of Suzhou.

I also saw the teacups she used on weekdays, they were all extremely precious and rare things.It is estimated that there are not many in the world.

Xiuyan became more and more curious about this master, and wanted to know her background, but she didn't dare to ask her casually. Only once in a while, when she heard Miaoyu lamenting the pain of her family's ruin and the impermanence of the world, she just The prosperity and splendor of her home had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Xiuyan secretly guess that this master Miaoyu should be a woman from a big family.But later their home was ransacked, and in order to avoid being implicated, she had no choice but to marry her.

She really wanted to ask Miaoyu personally whether she was the Houyi of that famous family in the world, but she was afraid that she would be sad, so she didn't dare to ask her again.

However, Miaoyu's family was probably the first and second in the world, otherwise she would not be able to raise a girl who is as vocal as Miaoyu.

Xing Yanyan never took the initiative to ask about these things, and until now she didn't know where such an outstanding girl like her came from.

She and Miaoyu have only been together for a few short years.

A few years later, because there were scriptures written by Avalokitesvara in the capital, and her master said that it was not suitable for her to stay in the south, she and her master rushed to the capital together.A few years later, Xing Yanyan's parents owed a huge amount of gambling debts because of gambling money, and lost all their houses, so they had to take Xiuyan away from their hometown and live with Mrs. Xing in Jia's mansion.

What she never expected was that she was able to meet her benefactor again in Jia's mansion, which was a surprise.
