Jia Baoyu can only see the fur of the wonderful jade, but Xing Xiuyan knows the man but doesn't know his god.

　　Romance of a Dream of Red Mansions 253: The insider is lost in the world of mortals and doesn't know the earth's steamed bread, while the outsider stands aloof and looks at the rich door.

　　Let's talk about Jia Baoyu's birthday. At night, Xiren and other maids pooled their money to celebrate her birthday. I don't know how to live a night without saying anything.

　　The next day, Xing Xiuyan knocked on the door of the Jade Temple to talk to Miaoyu, the former "master".

　　(This article is a romantic story based on A Dream of Red Mansions. Most of the content is original. Please watch it carefully if you mind.)

　　At the beginning, the Xing family rented Miaoyu's house in Panxiang Temple, the mysterious tomb of Xiangxuehai in Gusu, and lived for ten years.

　　Xiuyan and Miaoyu are not only friends of the general angle, but also friendship between master and apprentice. She has today's tolerance, thanks to the influence of Miao Yu's childhood professor, even the name Xiuyan and Miao Yu have written that "Lantian is warm and jade is fragrant", and the friendship is extraordinary.

　　Miaoyu saw her coming, let her sit down in the eastern meditation room, and brought tea below. Miaoyu said, "I didn't congratulate you in person on your birthday yesterday."

　　Xiuyan smiled quickly: "What is this? There was no special celebration in those years. You also know that my heart is not greedy for foreign things. I didn't want to tell anyone if they hadn't mentioned it yesterday. I only live in this house, and I have to socialize. "

　　Miaoyu nodded: "People under the eaves have to bow their heads, not to mention you, even if I am not free. After all, this world of mortals is in the threshold. If you stand outside the threshold like me, you should know the difficulties. "

　　When Xing Xiuyan heard her mention "outside the threshold, inside the threshold", she said with a smile, "I'll tell you something interesting when you say that. I just met Baoyu on the road. He was so anxious that he didn't know how to reply with the post you sent yesterday. It was because I guessed your mind that I told him that I had appointed my wife. Am I right? "

　　Miaoyu nodded and said, "You guessed it. I just thought that Baoyu was sober. But now it seems that I haven't woken up yet. It's not as clear as you, a bystander. "

　　Xing Xiuyan listened to Miaoyu and couldn't help looking at her. Xiuyan knows Miaoyu's character well, and it is rare for someone to be noticed by her. If I hadn't met her since childhood, I wouldn't have entered her eyes. Why is this Baoyu so exceptional?

　　It turns out that Xing Xiuyan had breakfast that day, and Miao Yu sent someone to send a gift yesterday, so she hurried to thank him. Who wants to meet Baoyu halfway and go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a post?

　　As soon as Baoyu saw the cigarette, he quickly asked her, "Where is Sister?"

　　Xing Xiuyan told him to talk to Miaoyu.

　　Jia Baoyu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what she said. Everyone knew that Miaoyu was a loner, out of place, and ten thousand people didn't like him. Even Li Wan, who was so kind to a good man, met a nail in Miaoyu's head and hated him deeply. Only Baochai and Daiyu, the sisters in the garden, can meet with them slightly, and they can only stop when enough is enough, and they don't have a good heart-to-heart relationship.

　　Who would have thought that Xing Xiuyan could come in and out of the Jade Temple only a few months ago to talk to Miaoyu, but I didn't know Miaoyu was so important to her.

　　Baoyu was surprised and couldn't help telling the truth: "I know that my sister is not our first-class layman."

　　I don't blame Baoyu for being surprised. It's a wonderful jade, and the person is the most peculiar. There was once a word [world is hard to bear] to describe her, which is the most appropriate.

　　Temperament is as beautiful as orchid, and talent is richer than fairy. It's natural to be lonely, and everyone is rare. Your way is disgusting with meat, and you regard Kirara as vulgar. But I don't know that people who are too tall are more jealous, and they are too clean to share the suspicion. Alas, the people in the ancient temple of Qingdeng will be old and failed, and the red pink floor is full of spring color. In the end, it's still dusty and against your wishes. Just like that, the flawless white jade was trapped in the mud, so why bother? Prince Sun sighed.

　　Jia Baoyu admires this wonderful jade most because of its peculiar ideas. Wonderful jade is not in her eyes, and she is not allowed. But Baoyu knows that Miaoyu's thought is by no means comparable to that of secular men and women. It's not that Miaoyu is out of place, it's the world of mortals. Everyone is a vulgar product, and Miaoyu is rare.

　　It is precisely because of Baoyu's thought that Miaoyu made a difference to him.

　　Miao Yu often said, "There are no good poems among the ancients since the Han, Jin, Five Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, but only two good ones, saying,' Even if there is a thousand-year iron threshold, you must have a local steamed bread.' So he called himself' the man outside the threshold'. Chang Zan-wen is Zhuangzi's good, so it is also called' freak'. "

　　Jia Fu, a big family, even if it lasts for thousands of years, after all, life is only a dead word for a hundred years. Treat people to the ground, "a handful of loess covers the wind." All wealth and splendor will eventually lead to blowing in the wind. What's more, "In the past, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people." Besides the Donglukong family, how many families are there?

　　Next to the Jiafu Iron Threshold Temple, it is just the steamed bread temple, which should not reflect the rise and fall of wealth.

　　And "freak" is just Miaoyu's satire on the world. At the beginning, Zhuangzi was laughed at and the world could not bear it. But Zhuang Zi is sanctified, and everyone is a clown.

　　Jia Baoyu's thoughts and actions are also unacceptable to the world, but they are in line with Miao Yu, so he is cited as a comrade.

　　Miaoyu prides herself on being a "outsider" and looks on coldly in the world of mortals. Since she is outside the threshold, she is not different from men and women. Not only do you not care about the saying that "no man or woman, no monk is not vulgar", but you are often complacent.

　　For example, when Grandma Liu came, Miaoyu invited several people to drink intimate tea, so she gave Jia Baoyu a cup of tea with her own green jade bucket, regardless of the difference between men and women.

　　Miaoyu When Baoyu is a comrade rather than a man, there is no difference between men and women. It's a pity that Baoyu sticks to the distinction between men and women and doesn't dare to fight with green jade, so that Miaoyu knows that his heart is inevitably vulgar.

　　Without further ado, Xing Xiuyan smiled at Baoyu's praise and explained that they had grown up together in Panxiang Temple in Xuanmu, and they had been taught wonderful jade since childhood.

　　Xiuyan smiled and said, "He may not really value me, but I have been neighbors with him for ten years, separated only by a wall. He practiced in Panxiang Temple. My family used to be cold, but he rented a house in his temple. He lived in his temple for ten years and had nothing to do to keep him company. All the words I recognized were given by him. He and I are poor friends and half teachers. Because we went to join our relatives, we heard that he had voted here because of his untimely and power. Now lucky chance makes do, and we meet, but the old love is not easy. Inheriting his green eyes is even better than the day. "

　　Jia Baoyu first heard about their past, but never expected that such an adventure would make them meet again in their own garden. Finally, I know that Xiuyan's manners and words are as detached as wild cranes and idle clouds, but they are from Miaoyu.

　　So Baoyu will get a wonderful jade greeting card, but he doesn't know how to reply and ask Xiuyan for advice.

　　Xiuyan told him everything about Miaoyu's character. In the end, he said he couldn't change it.

　　When Baoyu heard this, he said with a smile, "Sister, I don't know. He was not one of these people. He was an unexpected person in the world. Because I am a little knowledgeable, I will give this post to you. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't know what to say. I was about to ask Sister Lin, but I happened to meet my sister. " Xiuyan listened to Baoyu's words and looked at them carefully for half a day. Then she said with a smile, "It's strange that as the saying goes,' Being famous is better than meeting'. No wonder Miaoyu sent you this post and gave you those plum blossoms last year."

　　So I told Baoyu that since she signed this post as "an outsider", she said she was jumping outside the iron threshold; Therefore, he only needs to sign the name "wife in the threshold" to suit Miaoyu's mind.

　　Baoyu listened to Xing Xiuyan's instructions, straight as an sobering, thanked the cigarette, and hurried back to write a reply and cast it in the Cui Temple. Don't mention it

　　When Miaoyu heard Xing Xiuyan say that Baoyu praised her like that, she said with a smile, "He is spiritual. It's a pity that I was immersed in this wealth, and I was blinded by my mind. Don't say it's her, even you gentlemen. These are all experiences that will be experienced in life. "

　　"Just say you don't know what happened last night. Some of them had a banquet game in Yi Hong Yuan, but they didn't know that everything was revealed. Maybe someone is mistaken at this time, maybe they are still dreaming, and they only look at their own methods. Now there will be another big event in the Jia family, and the sight is getting worse. I don't know how long you and I can stand on our feet, but we should plan ahead. "

　　Xing Xiuyan listened to her solemnity, and asked what was said last night and what would happen to the Jia family. Outside, the Taoist woman came in with a simple but elegant post and gave it to Miaoyu. Sure enough, it was signed, "Bow to Baoyu, my wife."

　　Miaoyu said with a smile, "But you just said that."

　　Exactly: people inside the threshold are lost in the world of mortals and don't know the earth steamed bread, while outsiders stay out of the way and look at the rich door. If you want to know what will happen, see the next chapter.
