In a person's life, he will meet many people, or pass by, or accompany him day and night. And sometimes, people who meet in Pingshui accidentally appear in our lives, but they have an extremely important impact and role on our growth and even life.
Maybe, this effect is good, maybe, this effect is bad. Years later, when we look back at the past road, we also know in our hearts what the appearance of that person means to us.
The daughter of a small family, Xing Xiuyan, also met such a person.
She is the daughter of an official eunuch, with a hair cultivation of Miaoyu. Miao Yu is a person with a lonely temperament, cold and arrogant, but people are always multi-faceted, in fact, she also has a passion in her heart. She is beautiful and tall, talented, loves to taste tea and loves to write poetry, and is a proper talented woman. It may also be because she feels too good about herself, this woman's eyes are higher than the top, and the average person can't get into her eyes.
In the eyes of others, Miao Yu is too much and too hypocritical, but no matter what, she can be called a noble person of Xing Xiuyan.
Xing Xiuyan was Lady Xing's niece. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about what kind of wind evaluation Lady Xing is, stupid and stubborn, blindly accumulating wealth, only knowing that every time She welcomes Jia's pardon to protect herself. Even Jia Fu's subordinates couldn't look up to her. Lady Xing's original family is naturally bad, which is also an important reason for Lady Xing's style of scrooge, and her life has penetrated into the eyes of money.
What kind of family, what kind of people. Xing Xiuyan's parents, compared with Mrs. Xing, are not much better, they are rude, and they are worried about the economy, not to mention valuing their daughters. Although Xing Xianyan has a dusty name, he has lived in a rough reality since childhood, watching the elders in his family draw on survival and be weak for silver money. She is like an uncared for flower, just like that, raised casually, and no one cares what she looks like.
Fortunately, Xing Xiuyan met Miaoyu.
This is also a kind of fate. At that time, the Xing Xiuyan family was so poor that it was very difficult to rent a temple. And Miao Yu was just across the wall from her. In this very boring environment, similar ages made them begin to notice each other and have a sense of intimacy. Although, they looked so out of place, Miao Yu was not stained with the dust of the world, and Xing Xiuyan estimated that he could not even get enough to feed himself.
Perhaps, Miao Yu may not be Xing Xiuyan's friend, after all, Miao Yu has a very high self-esteem, even Dai Yu, Bao Chao and other people can't look up, let alone the shabby Xing XiuYan. At that time, Xing Xiuyan had nothing but a green face. Miao Yu and her fellowship must also be high above, and there is a sense of superiority.
But Miao Yu must be Xing Xiuyan's nobleman.
Through Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan saw the possibility of another life. This possibility may not be a golden food, but it is a high degree of arrogance, not necessarily a front and back hug, but calm and confident. It is believed that in the temple, when Xing Xiuyan saw Miaoyu, he would be deeply shaken.
Usually, she can't come into contact with such a person, she will worry about survival, feel sad for the difficulty of her parents in the dark room, and be confused about the uncertain future. Maybe one day, she will also become like them, she grew up, and there is not so much happiness, so much color. She's in an environment with few resources. This lack is not only the material level and insight, but the bottom of a person's heart, whether there is the strength to support the self.
And miaoyu, which lives next to the wall, is a good demonstration.
No matter what stinky problem Miao Yu had, in Xing Xiuyan's eyes at that time, she was out of reach. Xing Xianyan envied her and wanted to live like her.
How can Miao Yu teach Xing Xiuyan to read and write? Perhaps, reading books was already Miao Yu's habit, and Xing Xiuyan accompanied her, naturally she would not put down the poetry book because of her. Perhaps, Miao Yu looked at Xing Xiuyan and was also pitiful, such a smart person of ice and snow, but he was blind, so he taught her to read a few words. Perhaps, Xing Xianyan has long wanted to learn cultural knowledge, and seeing Miaoyu around, the opportunity is really rare, and he naturally respects him as a teacher.
It is self-evident how important the environment is to growing people, especially in the years when the three views have not yet been clear. For example, although the You sisters, although they were also the daughters of the official family, were born extremely beautiful and intelligent, and the conditions were not bad at all, they entered the Ningguo Mansion in a vacuum, and Jia Zhen and others were unclear, making their reputations bad, and they were already doomed to a miserable end. If they had a good leader, it would not be so.
Although Xing Xiuyan's family was poor and he had not been able to see the prosperity of the world, how could this not be another kind of luck? When I was a teenager, I was not afraid of poverty, nor was I afraid of suffering, so I was afraid of thinking wrong and took a crooked road.
When the You sisters indulged in pleasure in the big dye vat of NingGuo Mansion and gradually lost themselves, Xing Xiuyan embarked on a new path.
Material poverty is not terrible, spiritual abundance is the greatest confidence in life. In what kind of circle, what kind of person will become. Xing Xianyan recognized the words and did poetry, which was her great self-improvement. Knowledge and culture may not be enough to feed people, but they can make people's hearts peaceful, even bitter. Although people always have enough to eat and drink, but in the difficult life, the power of the spirit is more than anything else that can make a person redeemed.
From MiaoYu, Xing Xiuyan could read and get rid of the state of illiteracy, which was the most basic thing. The role of the teacher is to preach and teach to solve problems. Miao Yu is a proud person, and his eyes are dustless, as if he has never been contaminated with the world. This also made Xing Xianyan receive some kind of enlightenment.
Perhaps in Xing Xiuyan's life, his parents would be preoccupied with a few small amounts of money, and would scold his mother for today's bad luck. But following Miao Yu's side, she saw a different world. Miao Yu is concerned about whether the plum blossoms are open or not, studies tea sets and tea leaves, and in the tea smoke, the mood can also be calm.
In this way, Miao Yu fights against loneliness. And Xing Xianyan is deeply infected, she not only needs to fight against loneliness, but also needs to filter out too much worldly noise and not let them bother her.
And Miaoyu, who was originally everyone's bridesmaid, had to bring hair cultivation because of fate, which was also very helpless. Xing Xianyan understood that no matter who it was, there were always difficulties, and it was always not easy to live. People born like Miao Yu are still like this, let alone themselves? As a result, she thought more and more clearly and lived thoroughly.
The appearance of MiaoYu not only allowed Xing Xiuyan to learn to recognize words, but more importantly, Xing Xianyan learned her detachment. In fact, Miaoyu is still entangled in many times, after all, the more treasures Miaoyu has accumulated, the more it has, the more difficult it is to see clearly, and the more difficult it is to really put it down. Xing Xiuyan originally came out of the cold door of the city well, and his understanding of the world and human nature was actually more profound.
She is grateful to Miaoyu, but she is not completely superstitious about Miaoyu. And when the day was gone, they didn't have much intersection. Even when Xing Xianyan arrived at Jia Province, he did not visit Miao Yu, and Miao Yu did not invite him. Maybe it's to avoid embarrassment. Miao Yu is a distinguished guest of Jia Fu, even in front of the ladies, it is also very high-profile, while Xing Xiuyan is like a Cinderella, plain and light, no one cares. Miao Yu likes to show off those rare treasures, if Xing Xiuyan rushes to visit, can he not lower her level? So, let's stay far away and forget about the rivers and lakes.
But the meeting they had was enough to warm each other's lonely years. While collecting snow water from plum blossoms and writing poems, Miao Yu can also have a person who listens to her and looks at herself with adoring eyes.
And for Xing Xiuyan, Miao Yu is indeed her nobleman. She led Xing Xianyan into a completely different world, and even Xing Xianyan's understanding was higher.
Miao Yu may not have much sincerity in treating her, and she also knows this and never asks for it. This intersection was not so reciprocal, but Xing Xianyan was grateful and at the same time objectively evaluated Miaoyu. She knew Miaoyu so well, and you can imagine how actively she had wanted to be someone similar to her, or at least a world.
Later, she didn't ask for anything anymore, but this was a real realization.
That year, they met in a deserted temple, and later, they scattered in the sea of people. Xing Xiuyan's later luck, including being ignored to valued by everyone in the Grand View Garden, was even described by Baoyu as an idle cloud wild crane, and was photographed by the Xue family, becoming the fiancée of the handsome young Xue Tadpole, and her good fortune was not unrelated to her original interaction with Miaoyu.
But Miao Yu did not want to pull her a little, it was Xing Xiuyan, cherishing this rare opportunity, while learning, while thinking, to have such an understanding and enterprising spirit, is the most critical. In the end, Miao Yu is Xing Xiuyan's nobleman, but there is a bigger nobleman in life, that is, himself.
