Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 69 Visiting Xuantou Mountain

After a few years here, Jia Lian's life became more and more carefree. The father and son were harmonious, the mother and son were close, and the husband and wife were harmonious and beautiful. It was a perfect scene.Every day, I read and practice calligraphy, or talk about current affairs, and occasionally take Wang Xifeng to the streets in the name of visiting friends for dinner.What a fairy-like day.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng felt more and more grateful for Daiyu's words that day.

When Jia's mansion returned the boxing gift to the Lin family next year, Jia Lian and his wife prepared a separate copy and gave Daiyu a special birthday present.When the gift was received, it was only a day or two before Daiyu's ninth birthday.After all, Huang Jiyun loved Daiyu very much, fearing that after Jia Lian left, she would be left alone to take care of her, so she would stay in Gusu for several months.

Huang Jiyun almost lived in the Lin Mansion.The two masters either chatted for half a day, or explained once to leave homework.Sometimes, Huang Jiyun would take Daiyu out, in the name of Shangxiang.Most of them are famous temples in ancient temples, just don't go in, just pass by the door, of course Guiyuan Temple is the only exception, Daiyu always has a few days to go to see her mother in this life.

That day Daiyu had just received the birthday present from Jia Lian and his wife, before opening it, Huang Jiyun came.Seeing Daiyu sitting in the garden painting withered lotuses, her painting style became more and more proficient, but she lost her spirit like her.Then he smiled and said, "How about I take you to Xuantou Mountain to offer incense for my teacher?" Daiyu turned her head in surprise when she heard this, her eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Huang Jiyun smiled and said: "But you have to bring Nanny Yang with you, there is a famous nunnery there, but it's inconvenient to go in as a teacher." Daiyu turned her head to think for a while and asked, "Can I call you Aunt Luo? " Huang Jiyun frowned when he heard Aunt Luo, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I think it would be great to bring Madam Yang along." Daiyu then nodded knowingly.

For a while, Daiyu put on a moon-white cloud-patterned brocade inlaid deep dress with a wide fringe, a moon-white emerald green jacquard skirt, and a squirrel cape with a dark green feather gauze.Accompanied by Nanny Yang, Jin'er and others, they went out of the corner gate and got into the carriage. Zhang Xin and Lin De, who were guarding by the side, had Mu Mian get the news from somewhere, and drove over together with Zheng Guang and brought the child.Go with Huang Jiyun.

Nanny Yang originally did not agree to go, knowing that her master and apprentice were just using the name of offering incense, fearing being seen by others is always bad.But Daiyu couldn't help but said that there was a master who was very proficient in the magic of heavenly performance, and seeing his nephew and grandson with a tiger's head and a tiger's head, he agreed to go with him.Along the way, Daiyu knew that Nanny Yang was unhappy, so she thought of a way to make Nanny Yang laugh.

After all, Nanny Yang is old, and seeing Daiyu urinating alone in filial piety, she also feels sorry for her loneliness, so she complied with her wish.The carriage staggered out of Gusu City, headed east to Erxuanmu Mountain, abandoned the cart at the foot of the mountain and walked on foot.

Seeing the high, steep and continuous ups and downs of the mountain, Mother Yang said: "I will take Jing'er and Yun Cui to rest here, and you go and pick me up when you return." After hearing this, Mu Mian said "Then I'll stay here with my aunt." Zheng Guang said with a smile: "Go ahead, it would be nice to let Huzi and me play with my aunt here."

In this way, Huang Jiyun led Daiyu to climb along the winding path, followed by Jiner Mumian and Zhang Xinlinde.After walking for only one or two hours, when I stopped to rest, I turned around and looked down the mountain. I saw the vast West Taihu Lake, forming a Dustpan Bay here. reputation.

After walking up for half an hour, you will see towering ancient trees, green pavilions and temples looming among thousands of red plums, and the snow and mist curl up like a fairyland on earth.The plum blossoms are fragrant, white as snow, or as red as fire.Always blooming like a sea.Daiyu was so happy for a moment that she took Jin'er to go to the snow to find plums, so she was very happy.

Following the floating fragrance, Daiyu and Jin'er went farther and farther.When I came back to my senses, I couldn't find the way back.Can't help feeling a little flustered.After all, Daiyu knew that there were wild beasts in the mountains at this time, especially in the early spring when they were looking for food.So he led Jin'er back to find the way.

At this moment, Daiyu's cloak had already been untied, and there were traces of sweat on her forehead. Jin'er was a little flustered, and held Daiyu with one hand, and the skirt with the other.It so happened that a nun wearing a monk's hat and black clothes came over at this time. Daiyu and Daiyu hurried forward to salute and said, "My little girl has seen the teacher. I don't know where the teacher came from? It can be seen With a little lady?"

The nun smiled and said, "Amitabha, the poor nun is here for the benefactor. Please follow the poor nun's nunnery to tell the story." After finishing speaking, she turned around without waiting for Daiyu to respond.Jin'er looked nervously at Daiyu and then at the nun and asked, "What should I do, girl?" Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "If you come, let's be safe. Let's go and have a look. "

After speaking, Daiyu stepped up to follow the nun.Within a hundred steps, you can see a nunnery located between the plum forests. On the gate of the nunnery, there are three gilded characters of "Panxiang Temple".Kapok is anxiously walking around in front of the nunnery.

Daiyu turned her head to look at Jin'er, then suddenly smiled.Seeing kapok here, Jin'er didn't hesitate anymore, and followed the nun in a few steps.Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Mu Mian said to the nun, "Thank you, Master."

The nun looked at Daiyu with a smile and said, "Go and play yourself. The poor nun has a few words to say to this little benefactor." Daiyu nodded.Kapok and Jin'er retreated.Daiyu followed the nun into the nunnery, turned around two moon gates, and saw a row of blue meditation rooms.The nun opened a room, and Daiyu followed.

I saw a girl about the same age as me, sitting on a futon in paddy field clothes, chanting sutras with her eyes closed.The nun glanced at the girl, then at Daiyu, and made a gesture of invitation, but didn't make a sound.Daiyu thought it was because she was worried about disturbing the girl's chanting.But I don't understand why I don't want to change to another meditation room.At this time, he had no choice but to sit cross-legged opposite the nun.

Seeing Daiyu sit down, the nun reached out to take a small bowl, poured half a bowl of tea and pushed it to Daiyu. She smiled and said, "Since the benefactor is here, my apprentice should go too. Now I just invite the benefactor to come and see me." See you, maybe we will see you again in the future." Daiyu heard that she was confused and confused.Seeing that Daiyu was unclear, the nun did not explain.

It just so happened that the girl had finished chanting, and just as she put down the rosary, the nun said, "Since it has been put down, there is no need to pick it up again. You can pack it up and go home in three days." After she got up and left, Daiyu hurriedly called out: " Master, please stay behind!"

The nun looked back at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Since Longcuian is no longer here, my destiny has changed. I have been a female disciple who has been practicing for many years, and now thanks to the blessing of the benefactor, I can go home." Daiyu took a look.Only the terrified Daiyu and the bewildered girl were left behind.

At this moment, Daiyu turned her head to look at the girl, her pink carvings were carved from jade, her bright eyes and teeth seemed to always be clear, but those eyes could see through people's hearts.Daiyu knew that the nun had said that the girl from Longcuian was undoubtedly Miaoyu!For a moment, I couldn't tell what it was like, there was surprise, shock, and perhaps more fear!

The nun clearly revealed her biggest secret in a few words. I remember in the original book that Miaoyu's master is very proficient in the art of celestial performance. Before leaving, the master Huang Jiyun also said that there is an expert who is very proficient in the art of celestial performance?Daiyu didn't believe in this in her previous life, even in this life, it's just a formality.

Now... Thinking of my inexplicable coming to this world, just now I listened to the nun's words again, as if I came by myself, this Miaoyu doesn't need to become a monk anymore.I was uneasy in my heart.

The girl laughed at Miaoyu, seeing that Daiyu was about the same age as herself, and heard from her master that she could go home because of the arrival of this little benefactor.I was extremely happy in my heart, but I didn't expect that the little benefactor would lose his mind after the master left, and his expression looked extremely flustered.Then he asked softly, "Little benefactor, are you okay?"

The soft and crunchy voice brought back Daiyu's thoughts. Daiyu just woke up and looked at Miaoyu, and said with a smile: "I'm not called little benefactor, I'm Daiyu, Lin Daiyu. What's your name?" Miaoyu He also smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that my name also has a word for jade. It was originally called Moyu, and I took the name of Miaoyu with my master."

Daiyu laughed when she heard Moyu: "Dai is black, and Mo is also black. We are destined to have two pieces of black jade!" Miaoyu also laughed when she heard it.

All of a sudden, another very elegant and beautiful girl in a half-new flowered jacket and a somewhat faded crimson skirt came to look for her.Miaoyu introduced: "This is Miss Xing who lives next to the nunnery, calling Xiuyan." Daiyu thought to herself, it's a coincidence that even Xing Xiuyan met in advance.There is a smile on the face.

The three girls are about the same age, so they can go together, chatting and laughing before they know it, and most of the day passes by.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Kapok and Jin'er came in to look for Daiyu, and the three of them felt that the white horse passed by like an arrow.

Miaoyu thought that she would leave here and go home in three days, so she frowned and looked at Xing Xiuyan's hesitant expression, she didn't know how to speak for a while, Daiyu asked with a smile: " But what's the problem? Let's talk about it, it's also a kind of fate for us to meet."

Miaoyu didn't hide anything, so she told her that Xing Xiuyan came to her to read and read every day, and said that after three days, she might not be able to teach her again.Daiyu also frowned slightly, this Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece after all, should she help?If you can help, how can you help?He hesitated for a while.

Xing Xiuyan saw the expressions of the two people because of their own affairs, so she smiled slightly and said: "It's a good thing to be able to go home, how can you be unhappy because of me now? Don't think so much. You should be happy." Yes." Daiyu felt even more entangled in her heart, so she asked, "Why do you live next to this nunnery?"

Daiyu felt abrupt when the words came out, and was busy explaining, but Xing Xiuyan didn't care, and said: "I heard from my mother that my family was also very good, but after my grandfather left, my aunt married into a rich family and took away a lot. Family wealth, my father was greedy for drinking and gambling and ruined the family property, that's why he got to where he is now." After speaking, he sighed softly, but there was no trace of mourning.

Daiyu thought for a while and asked: "Are you with your parents now?" Xing Xiuyan nodded, and Daiyu asked again: "If I can introduce you to an errand, would you be willing?" Miaoyu frowned when she heard that. He frowned and felt very displeased.

Seeing this, how can Daiyu not understand the truth?Then he explained with a smile: "If it's just about her, I'm willing anyway, but I'm afraid that it will cause trouble to her in vain." He nodded and looked at Xing Xiuyan.Xing Xiuyan thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what's the matter?"

Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly and replied: "I have a study at home, and I need someone to copy the books. If you want, I will introduce you to it, but the work is hard." Xing Xiuyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you want to?" I don’t know how many books I have to read, but you have fulfilled me.” Miaoyu also smiled after hearing this.

Daiyu also laughed and said, "If you have such a heart, I'm afraid there is nothing you can learn badly." But Xing Xiuyan replied, "It's just a word of heart." Miaoyu nodded in praise: "That's very true! Everything in the world Can one escape the word "intent again?" The three of them laughed together.

Before leaving, Daiyu said: "It is inconvenient for me to go out. I will ask Jin'er to deliver the manuscript and ink to you in three days. You will wait for her at the intersection up the mountain." She specifically pointed out Jin'er to her, and the two left after seeing each other.
