Chapter 27 Beautiful spring

Wei Xiaobao is lustful.He hung out in a brothel since he was a child, and he was a "person with vulgar tastes".As long as it is a beautiful woman, he likes it, and if he likes it, he wants to take her as his wife. The whole book takes Wei Xiaobao as the perspective, and the depiction of women between the lines is unavoidably tinged with traditional masculinity. This is probably Jin Yong's depiction and exploration of Chinese male personality.Wei Xiaobao is such a man, and his attitude towards women is like this. Wei Xiaobao met many beautiful women one after another, and seven of them became his "wives". They were Mu Jianping, Fang Yi, Zeng Rou, Shuang'er, A Ke, Princess Jianning and Su Quan.Shuang'er was given to Wei Xiaobao by Mrs. Zhuang as a gift, Princess Jianning and Zeng Rou were considered to have fallen in love with Wei Xiaobao herself, and the rest were probably tricked and coaxed by Wei Xiaobao.

These seven women have different personalities, and the author outlines their respective characteristics with a few simple strokes, showing seven beauties and seven women's mentality. Mu Jianping is a small princess who hid in Wei Xiaobao's room as a hostage.At first he was extremely afraid and disgusted with Wei Xiaobao, but gradually, unknowingly, he fell in love with Wei Xiaobao half-understood.Wei Xiaobao teased her with words at first, and set up some small traps, such as "sister" and "brother", to let her fall into it.Then he lied to her that a little turtle was carved on her face, and as long as she called herself "good brother" ten times, she would heal her.It was only then that he began to impress the little princess a little bit.

"The little princess is really hungry when he comes here. Secondly, he doesn't dare to offend him. He is afraid that his hands and feet will be blurred and leave a tortoise tail on his face. When he comes to see him crushing pearls, he will feel no pity and accept his love." " Even "puchi smiled" showing a relaxed expression, no longer so wary of Wei Xiaobao. Then Fang Yi was injured because of the attempted assassination, and Wei Xiaobao rescued her into his room.Seeing that she was a great beauty, he thought, "I must take her as my wife." Fang Yi's sweetheart, Liu Yizhou, was arrested. She begged Wei Xiaobao to save her.For the sake of the one she loves, Fang Yi agreed.

During their time together with Wei Xiaobao day and night, both Fang Yi and Mu Jianping felt that although Wei Xiaobao was glib and frivolous, he had a kind and loyal side.For example, at the end, when he saw Fang Yi's pitiful appearance, his heart suddenly softened, and he said loudly: "Okay, okay! After I rescued Liu Yizhou and came out, you just marry him, and I won't argue with him anymore." Fang Yi was grateful and happy at the same time.In addition, they knew that Wei Xiaobao was not only a respectable person in the imperial palace, but also the incense master in the Tiandihui, so they naturally felt respect.As a result, Fang Yi really didn't love Liu Yizhou, but fell in love with Wei Xiaobao.

Mu Jianping has the mentality of a little girl, her affection for Wei Xiaobao is the natural emotion of a girl towards a boy.Wei Xiaobao's wit and power moved her, but she may not have figured out how deep her feelings really are. Fang Yi has a choice.She chose to "marry" Wei Xiaobao out of love for Liu Yizhou.But in the future, Liu Yizhou and Wei Xiaobao's characters and status made her choose to "love" Wei Xiaobao. Shuang'er is the third woman Wei Xiaobao meets.She appeared in the eerie haunted house "with a faint fragrance". "A snow-white face, with curved brows and small mouth, and a flowery smile", can make sweet Huzhou brown rice.From top to bottom, she is as graceful and charming as a Jiangnan woman.

She followed Wei Xiaobao and became his maid and bodyguard, her kind of loyalty to her master was unparalleled.She can't say that she has any love for Wei Xiaobao, but her "name" stipulates that she should "love" Wei Xiaobao, and she herself has neither the slightest doubt nor the slightest resistance to this identity. Indeed, this is a little girl who has completely lost her "self", but she is also Wei Xiaobao's favorite person, or in other words, the person Wei Xiaobao can rest assured of most. When Su Quan first met Wei Xiaobao, he was already the wife of Master Hong. "Wei Xiaobao looked from a distance and saw that the palm was carved out of white jade. A thought came to his mind immediately: 'This woman is not bad to be my wife. If she goes to Lichun Courtyard to do business, all the prostitutes in Yangzhou will flock to her. When it arrived, the gate of Lichun Courtyard was smashed.'”

Her affection for Wei Xiaobao is nothing more than Xiaobao's flattery, wishing her "long life and heaven", and praising her young and beautiful.But she can't even talk about loving Wei Xiaobao, even though there is no love between her and Master Hong. The reason why she became Wei Xiaobao's "wife" is very simple, that is, Wei Xiaobao made her pregnant on the big bed in Lichun Courtyard.From then on, she felt that she was Xiaobao's person, and even became the "squad leader" of Wei Xiaobao's "wife class". A Ke's situation is similar to Su Quan's. If she hadn't been pregnant, she probably wouldn't have kept up with Wei Xiaobao.She is the daughter of Chen Yuanyuan and Li Zicheng, she was extremely beautiful, Wei Xiaobao almost lost his soul when he saw her, he was worried all the time, and vowed not to give up until he got her "wife".

But A Ke has a deep love for Zheng Keshun. No matter how Xiaobao tricks and frame Zheng Keshun, she still loves Zheng Keshun with all her heart. Even Wei Xiaobao tried to force her to marry him, but she still ignored her. deadly.Such a strong woman, because she drank the drug and fainted, was hugged by Xiaobao to the big bed, made a fuss, and became pregnant, and married Wei Xiaobao willingly. What makes people sigh is that the "Zheng Family Army" was wiped out by the Qing army later, and Zheng Keshun became the king of the subjugated country. Princess Jianning is actually not a real princess, but the illegitimate daughter of Mao Dongzhu, who pretends to be the Queen Mother, and her lover Thin Toutuo.But the fakes come true, she has been treated as a real princess.After the real queen mother and the emperor knew the truth, they didn't want others to know that it would damage the image of the royal family. Therefore, Princess Jianning will always be a "princess".

Princess Jianning "has an oval face, thin lips, lively eyebrows, quite heroic".She fell in love with Wei Xiaobao automatically, but the love was too terrible, full of sadism.She liked Wei Xiaobao because only Wei Xiaobao really hit her, and she experienced sexual pleasure in the pain of sadism and masochism. On the way to see off their relatives, Princess Jianning and Wei Xiaobao, who are about to become brides, picked the fruit of love for the first time, and achieved a dewy marriage, so happy. As a result, Wu Yingxiong fell into bad luck and was castrated by the princess.It shows that the princess fell in love with Wei Xiaobao desperately after she arrived.After many twists and turns, she finally became Wei Xiaobao's "wife" and gave birth to a daughter for him.

In contrast, Zeng Rou is the least-devoted character among Wei Xiaobao's "wives".As if the clouds were light and the wind was light, they appeared and disappeared, and finally appeared suddenly on the big bed in the Lichun Courtyard, joining Xiaobao's "wives". As an assassin, Zeng Rou broke into Wei Xiaobao's camp with a group of fellow disciples, "Wei Xiaobao looked sideways, and saw a fifteen or sixteen year old girl with a slightly round face and a very sweet appearance, a pair of big eyes that were dark and shiny, and the corners of her mouth He is also smiling." Wei Xiaobao subdued the assassins with his ingenuity, but because of his soft and beautiful appearance, he deliberately let them go.It made Xiao Zengrou secretly promise that before leaving, he asked for the four dice that Wei Xiaobao had used, and kept them by his side.The two met again many years later, and Wei Xiaobao discovered that the four dice were still treasured on Zeng Rou's body.

Zeng Rou's love is romantic, love at first sight, belongs to the model of a hero saving the beauty, and is a transformation of gratitude and worship. Judging from the love stories between these women and Wei Xiaobao, what Jin Yong wants to tell us, or the implied meanings of these stories are quite rich. First of all, it is a joke and questioning of love itself.The so-called pure love does not actually exist. In the love entanglement between men and women, there are material temptations, the operation of schemes, the domination of carnal desires, etc. everywhere.Men and women build an illusory world for each other, deceive and seduce each other, and then each walk into the trap they set, without knowing it throughout their lives. From this point of view, the beautiful myth of love is dismantled, and the secularity and crudeness of love itself are restored. Secondly, these women are imprisoned by certain traditional concepts, such as the concept of chastity, the concept of dedication and so on.Chinese men like Wei Xiaobao understand this truth very well. If they want to possess a woman, they must first possess her in terms of "identity", and she will never be able to jump out of their grasp. Of course, there are inherent female weaknesses at play.These girls have different personalities, but they all like to listen to Wei Xiaobao's sweet talk, and Xiaobao's flattery to women is always to praise her beauty and youth. The seven beautiful little girls are all married to Wei Xiaobao. They live a fairy-like life on an isolated island overseas, which seems to make men all over the world "envious".With regard to the description of Wei Xiaobao's couple's life, Jin Yong has inadvertently tainted some habits of old novels, and the patriarchal consciousness revealed may make some modern-minded readers unhappy. Leaving aside Wei Xiaobao's perspective, what we want to ask is: Are these seven girls really happy and have no regrets?
