Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: The Mystery of Chapters 91 to 99 (1)——The Mystery of Jia Tanchun

Gao E continued to write Jia Tanchun's Far Marriage.He said that Jia Zheng was sent by the emperor on a foreign mission, and he came into contact with Zhou Qiong, a general who guarded Haimen and other places. Zhou Qiong had a son and asked Jia Zheng to marry his daughter to his son, and Jia Zheng agreed to the marriage. .This can barely be regarded as a distant marriage, because judging from Zhou Qiong's official position, it should be in the southern sea area.But to be honest, if this is the case, Jia Tanchun married to a place where his father could go, let alone went abroad, which would not constitute a tragedy of life and death at all.In Gao E's writing, although Jia's family suffered a bit of a blow, they soon returned to Mu Huangen and Yan Shize, and the family business recovered, so Jia Tanchun conveniently returned to her natal family to visit.Although married far away, it is not difficult to go home.This way of writing does not conform to Cao Xueqin's original intention.

Cao Xueqin attaches great importance to the role of Jia Tanchun.Think about it, everyone, the ranking in the "Jinling Twelve Beauties", regardless of their ranking, is Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and then Jia Yuanchun; , it should be Jia Yingchun, but otherwise, Cao Xueqin ranked Jia Tanchun ahead of Jia Yingchun, then Shi Xiangyun, then Miaoyu, then Yingchun and Xichun, then Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie, and finally Li Wan and Qin Keqing .He ranked Jia Tanchun in what you can call the third or fourth position—because the first and the second are tied—it shows that the author attaches great importance to this character.There are especially many hints, foreshadowings, and predictions about this character's later fate in the eighty chapters.

First of all, in the fifth chapter, without exception, he also set Jia Tanchun with the pictures on the album and the verdict next to it.As for this picture, readers and critics have often overlooked a detail in it and rarely discussed it. Today we will discuss it together. How did you draw it on the album?Two people are flying a kite, a sea, a big boat, and a woman on board, covering her face and crying.A piece of the sea means that she wants to cross the ocean.A big boat, not a small boat, means that you have to go a long way, and only a big boat can go far.Needless to say, the woman in the boat was Jia Tanchun himself.Covering her face and crying, it shows that her far away marriage is not a happy event, but actually a very sad thing.None of this is surprising.The strange thing is that there are two people flying a kite in the painting.Now you can go back and read the fifth chapter, and you will find that Cao Xueqin wrote that Jia Baoyu peeked at those albums, and the composition of the pictures he saw was very simple, but only when he came to Jia Tanchun, instead of painting a person flying a kite, he painted two people Flying a kite is well worth exploring.If flying a kite is used to symbolize the family saying goodbye to the married woman who is traveling far away, it is enough to draw one person, why draw two people flying kites?Could it be that when she gets married, two groups of people will come to see her off as her natal family?Don't worry, let's go through all the foreshadowings about Jia Tanchun first, and then reveal the secret together.

The verdict next to the picture is: "Talent is born with shrewdness, bright ambition and high ambition. Born in the end of the world, luck will disappear. Qingming tears will be sent to the riverside to look forward, and thousands of miles of east wind will be a dream away." In the fifth chapter, there are also twelve poems about women's fate in the book of hymns Song, the one about Tanchun is "Flesh and Bone": "Three thousand years of wind and rain, let's throw away the family of the flesh and blood. I'm afraid of crying and dying. Tell parents, don't worry about children. Since ancient times, everything has been poor. Ding, is there no fate for separation and reunion? From now on, we will divide into two places, each of which will keep safe. The slaves will go, don’t get involved.”

I just want to ask you one question now, that is, after you read the verdict and music of the fifth chapter, do you think Jia Tanchun will return to her natal family after she gets married?Do you believe that what Gao E wrote is in line with Cao Xueqin's foreshadowing in Chapter 5? The foreshadowing about Tanchun's distant marriage reappeared in Chapter 22.Twenty-two chapters on lantern riddle poems made by everyone. Jia Tanchun’s lantern riddle poems have a kite as the answer—she has a great relationship with kites—"When children under the steps face their backs, it is most appropriate to decorate during the Qingming Festival; when the silk is broken and weak, Don't complain to Dongfeng about parting."It is worth noting that why the previous judgment said that "Qingming tears will be sent to the riverside to watch", this lantern riddle poem also emphasizes a solar term, which is Qingming.Is Qingming a suitable solar term for marriage?What festival was Qingming called in the past?Ghost Festival is a day to pay homage to the dead.This shows that not only did Jia Tanchun get married far away, but the day of her marriage was also very inappropriate according to Chinese customs.This is obviously not a normal marriage.The sixty-third chapter wrote "Shouyi Hongqunfang held a night banquet", everyone drew flower lots, and the lottery Jia Tanchun got was written with the words "Yaochi Xianpin", and then there was a poem: "Ribianhong Apricot grows against the clouds." Compared her to an apricot flower.This apricot flower is not an ordinary apricot flower, it is an apricot flower that blooms next to the sun.The weather is very good, and the sign also says "Whoever wins this sign will get a noble son-in-law".So all the women present at that time elicited comments: "Our family already has a princess, so you are also a princess?" Some readers have always pointed out that this sentence is a bit weird.According to the description in the book, does the Jia family have a concubine? The Jia family has a concubine. Jia Yuanchun of the Jia family has a higher status than the concubine. The sixteenth chapter clearly stated that she was "the only one who chose Fengzao Palace and was named a virtuous concubine". .She is a concubine, but why is it written as a concubine in the book?Generally speaking, people who have won honor and favor in the family can only exaggerate and talk about it, how can they talk about it downgrading?Why did Cao Xueqin write it like this?Because in real life, in Cao Xueqin’s family, Cao Yin had a daughter who married Pingjun Wang, and Kangxi pointed out the marriage. When joking with each other, there may often be such a sentence: Our family already has a princess, can you also be a princess?Since the text of his book is characterized by "hiding the truth" and then "preserving the false words", he naturally included such a saying that is often used as a joke among the women of the family into the book.I have explained this to you in previous lectures.Now I want to add my explanation, and I will explain to you why he made such a sentence this time, it is because, as he writes down, Jia Tanchun will indeed become a princess.

For the 70th chapter, everyone fills in the catkins.Cao Xueqin wrote very carefully.He wrote Jia Tanchun's lyrics, and only completed the first half of the poem, and finally Jia Baoyu continued the second half of the poem for her.In the second half of Jia Baoyu's continuation, there is a sentence: "I will see you every other year in the next spring." The catkins come once every spring, and Jia Baoyu has one wish, that is, to see them again next year.Why did Jia Baoyu have to write such a sentence?I think the author's intention is obvious, because the last sentence of the first half of the column written by Jia Tanchun is called "one term, east, west, north and south are separated", this sentence written by Jia Tanchun himself means separation forever, and it is impossible to meet again after leaving .If you regard the entire poem as Jia Tanchun's work, it means that Jia Tanchun predicted that he would come back.Cao Xueqin arranged it very carefully. He wrote that Tanchun was too short to write the second half. Jia Baoyu's line in the second half of the poem "see you next year in the next spring" has become a False fantasies are just Jia Baoyu's personal wish, which cannot be realized.

The most important foreshadowing appears at the end of the seventieth chapter, about Jia Baoyu and the ladies flying kites, he has very rich descriptions.He wrote about Jia Tanchun's kite-flying in the most detail, but also the most suspicious.Jia Tanchun himself flew a phoenix kite, which is of course very auspicious, and the phoenix itself also means that a woman has matured and is about to seek a good marriage.As a result, the opposite family did not know which family also flew a phoenix kite, and the two kites got twisted together, which already made the readers think, ouch, it’s weird, what’s going on?However, Cao Xueqin swiped his pen and continued to write, and a third kite came out, as big as a door leaf, and this kite had a bell. Like thunder, the kite got tangled with the two phoenixes at last, pulled and tossed, and finally the strings of the three kites all broke, and the three kites got tangled together and drifted farther and farther away.It means so much.There is not one meaning in it, but several meanings.His prophecy is a more complicated prophecy.After eighty chapters, it goes without saying that Cao Xueqin will respond to his foreshadowing one by one.

When you read to the back of the first eighty chapters, you will find that Jia Tanchun's age has reached the stage of talking about marriage.Chapter 77 has a sentence that says Mrs. Wang has a lot of things to do every day, "and there is an official matchmaker who comes to explore spring and other things, and her mood is very busy" (this sentence in the current edition is written as "mind is troubled", and some ancient editions are written as "Zhengfan", I don't take "annoyance" but "complexity", that is to say, Mrs. Wang will not be "annoyance" to the official matchmaker about Tanchun marriage, but she feels that there are too many business lines, and she is a little bit overwhelmed. Why do I I think that Mrs. Wang will not be "annoying" to the official matchmaker about Tanchun's marriage, and you will understand after reading the following).The official matchmaker will take the Geng post from the son of a nobleman and eunuch to the mansion with a woman of the right age to meet the hostess to see if the woman matches the Geng Chen horoscope listed on the Geng post. .If Jia Tanchun used the official matchmaker as a matchmaker and got married, where might she marry?There are clues to be found in the first eighty chapters.

The seventy-first chapter writes that Jia Mu is celebrating her 80th birthday.Some distinguished guests have come.It mentions a distinguished guest, which is definitely not idle writing, and we should pay attention to it when we read it.This distinguished guest is Princess Nan'an.What is a toffee?The King of Nan'an is a prince, so of course it is a very high title, right?His mother is still alive, so she is called Concubine Nan'an, and his official wife is called Concubine Nan'an.This concubine was obviously of the same generation as Jiamu, but her status was higher than Jiamu's, so she came to celebrate her birthday and sat on the table. Although Jiamu was a birthday star, she had to sit on the side.Concubine Nan'an was not feeling well at first, so she didn't have to come, but she came here on purpose. It can be seen that she was not just congratulating Jia Mu, she had another purpose.For what purpose?After she sat down, she asked Baoyu first, meaning she wanted to see Baoyu.Jia Mu said that Baoyu went to the temple to kneel for scriptures, which meant that you would not see her today.

Many readers glanced at these words in a hurry, without thinking carefully.In fact, this sum means that Jiamu must escort Baoyu's marriage to the end in his heart.Didn’t I say it earlier, when Daoist Zhang proposed marriage to Baoyu during the ceremony at Qingxu Temple, Mother Jia rejected it.Before that, Yuan Chun had pointed to marriage, not directly, of course, but by conferring the ceremony of Dragon Boat Festival to imply that she hoped that Baoyu would marry Xue Baochai as his wife.So what did Concubine Nanan mean when she asked Jia Baoyu?Mother Jia had to guard against it.There may be a lady from the Wang family in Nan'an County who has reached the age of marriage. The lady of the Wang's family is called the princess, or Gege. Marrying Baoyu is considered a marriage, but Baoyu has a reputation far and wide. He is an extraordinary rich man. It is understandable that the concubine wants to see her because of her fame; besides, the daughters of the prince are also different, some are from the concubine, and some are from the concubine. It may be that the aptitude of the concubine is not very good, can Mother Jia not guard against it?What's more, Mother Jia made up her mind to support the "marriage of wood and stone". Your Nan'an King's daughter who is waiting to be married is comparable to a fairy, and Mother Jia is not interested, so Mother Jia said, Baoyu, you can't see it, and he kneels in the temple. up.Some people said, "I can't read it at the beginning, why is Jia's mother so rude, what does it matter if I call Baoyu out to meet him?"Even if the kneeling scriptures are gone, it is time to go home by then, and it is written below that Baoyu has indeed returned home, so why not let Baoyu meet Nan'an Concubine?But Mother Jia would not let Concubine Nan'an see her.Some readers always think that Jia Mu is a noble old lady who only knows about pleasure. In fact, in Cao Xueqin's writing, Jia Mu is very insightful, very scheming, and good at dealing with all aspects. On the surface, she may be kind and kind, but in reality she is Very resourceful, such a piece of old spicy ginger that can't be shaken after making up his mind.

When Baoyu couldn't see her, Princess Nan'an asked the ladies. It was very likely that she came not only to meet Baoyu to see if she could recruit a wife into the mansion, but also to check whether the ladies of the Jia family were suitable for her family's son—the prince's son. Called the son of the world-you can marry the past.Mother Jia said that their sisters were all inside to show me the house, and they were watching a play with relatives and women. Princess Nan'an didn't give up, so she went to watch a play inside?That is also to ask someone to come out and let me have a look.Mother Jia is directing at this time, please pay attention to this, it is very important.Mother Jia instructed, let Lin Daiyu come, let Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin come, let Shi Xiangyun come, and when they come out, let Concubine Nan'an take a look, because none of these four ladies belong to Jia's own house. Their parents with the same surname were in charge. Even if Concubine Nan'an liked her very much, she had no reason to talk to Jia's family to propose marriage, not to mention that Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baoqin were already engaged at that time.Then, Mother Jia said, just let Jia Tanchun accompany you. Jia's mansion itself has three young ladies who are watching a play with their relatives, so why only let Jia Tanchun come out?And Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun.Xichun, you can say that she is young, Yingchun is older than Tanchun, isn't it?But Mother Jia refused to let Jia Yingchun come out. At that time, Jia Yingchun was not engaged yet, so what did Mother Jia mean by letting Jia Tanchun come out?Recommend people outside.Wasn't Mrs. Xing very angry afterwards?She was angry with Jia Mu.Although she is not Jia Yingchun's biological mother, she is Jia Amnesty's wife. According to family ethics, she is the mother who is responsible for Jia Yingchun. Nan'an Concubine wants to see the lady in the house, but Jia's mother will not let Jia Yingchun come forward. She seems to have nothing to do with the granddaughter of the eldest room. Think about it for Mrs. Xing, such an arrangement is clearly a partiality for the second room!Yingchun is older than Tanchun, which should have made her favored by Concubine Nan'an. If Yingchun can marry into Nan'an Palace, not only will she have a bright face, Mrs. Xing, but she will also get many practical benefits!Mrs. Xing was very dissatisfied with Jiamu's rejection of Yingchun. Of course, she didn't want to get angry with Jiamu. Sprinkle a handful of sand on the birthday peach.This is what happened later. The book is very detailed. After these young ladies came out, Concubine Nan'an first told Shi Xiangyun that you were here, but you didn't come out to see me when you heard I was coming.Concubine Nan'an is very familiar with Shi Xiangyun's two uncles, Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou. She may also know that Shi Xiangyun is engaged, so she can easily joke with her.Well, the two sisters of the Xue family, Lin Daiyu, and Concubine Nan'an also said a lot of good things and appreciated them very much, but it is clearly written in the book that Concubine Nan'an pulled the lady with one hand, and the first one who pulled over was Jia Tanchun, who praised her repeatedly .There are many things between the old ladies that they tacitly understand. You let Jia Tanchun come out and I will understand who Jia Tanchun will marry. The Jia family has the final say, and Jia's mother has more say.Therefore, Concubine Nan'an should have taken a fancy to Jia Tanchun, and she could ask her to marry one of her grandsons through the official matchmaker.Then, in the episode of kite flying in the 70th episode, the first kite that came to twist with Tanchun's phoenix kite should symbolize the Nan'an County royal family, the son of the county king, and the grandson of the Nan'an concubine A son of the same generation as Baoyu is coming to marry Tanchun.If this marriage is completed, Tan Chun will be the eldest son's Fujin first, and if the eldest son inherits the throne in the end, of course she will be the princess.Analyzing it from this perspective, the 63rd time everyone said to her, "Could it be that you are also a princess?" However, it is clear that Jia Tanchun was not married to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion in the end. The marriage of the two phoenixes was ruined, and the background was huge. The symbol in the book is a kite with the word "Xi" as big as a door panel. , flew over like thunder, and pulled the two phoenix kites away together, apparently to complete another happy event.Who can have such a big background, such a majestic posture?It can only be an emperor who is higher than the county king. The emperor needs to find a suitable woman, and take it to Hefan.In the Qing Dynasty, not to mention Shunzhi, nor after Qianlong, but only in the three dynasties of Kang, Yong, and Qianlong, the emperor often used princesses or princesses to make peace.Fanbang is a broad concept. A foreign country is a fanbang, and ethnic minority tribes in the border areas of one's own country can also be called a fanbang.Some foreign nations come to invade, some surrender and rebel, and need to send armed forces to resist and suppress. This is the hard hand of Wu; It is Wen's soft hand to marry the royal women to establish a blood relationship so as to stabilize their loyalty to the court.Marrying the royal daughter to the nobles of Fanbang is called Hefan.There is also a tradition in the Qing Dynasty. There is such a saying as "the Manchu family". The Manchus were the first to move outside the customs, accumulating strength in an attempt to enter the Central Plains, occupy the whole of China, and establish a national regime. One tribe formed a partnership with the Manchus. Mongolian.Therefore, very early on, the upper class of the Manchus and the upper class of the Mongolians frequently intermarried, and through the blending of blood, their political and military cooperation was consolidated.Then taking the princess and princess to marry the Mongolian nobles can also be generally classified into the category of Hefan. After Cao Xueqin's 80th chapter, specifically, it is likely that in the plot unit of the 91st back to the 99th chapter, the emperor who will be written in the book took Jia Tanchun to make peace.Originally, Jia Tanchun had hoped to become the grandson and daughter-in-law of Nan'an Concubine, but just as the kite-flying plot symbolized and predicted, after the two Phoenix kites of the Wang family and Jia's family in Nan'an County were twisted together, another big door came. The thunderous big kites destroyed them.In other words, the emperor in the book did not allow the marriage between the Wang family and the Jia family in Nan'an County to go to the end. He intervened and pretended Jia Tanchun to be a royal woman and married a foreigner to play the role of a reconciliation. Some people will frown and say, is your statement ill-considered?Because you have already said before, when the book is written to this extent, the book is discussed in terms of the book, and the plot is discussed in terms of the plot, because the Rongguo Mansion hid the criminal property of the Zhen family, and someone reported on the general's poems, and the first wave of blows has already been hit Didn't you say that the attackers were forced to leave?In this case, Jia Tanchun is a woman of a criminal family. In today's words, she is the daughter of an official who has been suspended for self-reflection. How can she still take it to make peace?It was not uncommon for a woman from a sinful family to be a fan in the feudal era. In the Qing Dynasty and the Yongzheng Dynasty, there was such a situation. In the previous lectures, I have talked about the Kangxi Dynasty many times, and the prince's two regimes and two abolitions.The crown prince who was completely abolished was politically speaking a sinner. From then until his death, he and his family, including those who served his family, were imprisoned.Of course, Kangxi still paid great attention to the relationship of flesh and blood. He abolished the son's political future and imprisoned him, but he also admitted that he was his own son. In terms of material supply, he emphasized the need to enrich his food and clothing.After Yongzheng seized the throne, he inherited Kangxi's practice, still treated his elder brother like that, and was still banned, but the supply was guaranteed.But he took a seemingly friendly gesture. He took a daughter of the deposed prince as his adopted daughter, as a princess.Why did Yongzheng do this?Some people want to use this example from history to overthrow my argument about Qin Keqing. Their logic is that the daughter of the abolished prince’s family needs to hide in Cao’s house?Emperor Yongzheng took their daughter over as his own. It is recorded in history, isn't it?There is such a thing.This princess is called Princess Heshuo Shushen, and she is the sixth daughter of the deposed prince.However, it is useless to take a closer look at the history and use this incident to overturn my previous discussion about Qin Keqing. The daughter of the abolished prince was born on the second day of the forty-seventh day of Kangxi. At that time, her father was still powerful, and there was no sign of being abolished. The prince himself, and almost everyone, thought that it was a mistake for him to succeed Kangxi to the throne. Sooner or later something will happen.Unexpectedly, in September of that year, an incident of "night guards in the tent" broke out. I have talked about it in detail in the previous lectures, and I will not repeat it here. In short, Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the first time and locked him up , then this little girl, when she was still a baby, was imprisoned along with her parents.After Emperor Kangxi abolished the prince, he soon regretted it, and restored the prince again the next year.This ups and downs, this little girl will not have memory, she is too young.Three years later, Kangxi felt that the prince was wrong again, so he deposed him again, and imprisoned his whole family again.Then at this time, the daughter of the abandoned prince should start to have memories, but they should be some horrible memories, dark memories.Then in the Kangxi Dynasty, Yongzheng—of course he was not the emperor at that time, he was the fourth elder brother, and he didn’t have the title of Yongzheng. This is borrowed—did he take this girl as his adopted daughter at that time?not at all.The girl grew up in captivity.Kangxi died, and Yongzheng was the emperor. She was fourteen or fifteen years old. At this time, Yongzheng took her as his daughter. Yongzheng did this, first, to show the world how magnanimous I am, she is the daughter of the prince who was abolished by my father, the daughter of a criminal family, I adopted her as my daughter, can you not be moved ?If you are familiar with Qing history, you will know very well that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the political opponent he faced was not the abolished prince at all.Moreover, the abolished prince died of illness in the forbidden place in the second year of Yongzheng. Yongzheng was happy to give him the posthumous title of "Prince Limi", which put an end to this unlucky man.Yongzheng's political rivals at that time were his eighth, ninth, and fourteenth brothers, especially the fourteenth brother-this brother had the same father and mother as him, and his mother was firmly on his brother's side. After he became the emperor, his younger brother was General Zhengxi. After rushing back to the court, he refused to accept it. You kneel down?In Kangxi's later years, everyone was optimistic about the fourteenth prince, thinking that he would succeed the throne, and so did his mother.After Yongzheng became the emperor, he wanted to move his mother to the palace where the queen mother lived. Originally, his mother was only one of the dozens of concubines of Kangxi. Now that he has become the emperor, his mother will be honored as the emperor. The empress dowager, it is said that it is a good thing to move to the empress dowager's palace, but his biological mother resolutely refused to go, and stood firmly on his brother's side to fight against him.The eighth and ninth younger brothers even coveted his throne.Yongzheng must settle the three brothers first.The eighth brother and the ninth brother, he quickly wiped them out. After all, the fourteenth brother was born of the same mother. He did not kill the fourteenth brother, but ordered the fourteenth brother to guard the spirit of his father, Emperor Kangxi. Lock up this brother.At that time, Yongzheng's political opponent was not the abolished prince at all, and he adopted a daughter of the abolished prince, which was a pretentious gesture.But this is only the first level of Yongzheng's political strategy.The other layer is that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he would inherit the tradition of the previous dynasty and use princesses to make peace with Fan, especially the Mongolian nobles, and continue to marry royal daughters to them, so as to strengthen the tradition of the "Manchu and Mongolian family" .However, Yongzheng had few daughters of his own, and only one was raised, and Hefan's human resources were greatly lacking. What if he didn't have enough daughters?He just adopted, and did not adopt those who were very young, and those who were adopted were all close to marriageable age. He adopted three at that time, two of which were the fourth daughters of Prince Yi (later called Heshuohe) who he trusted. Princess Hui), and the eldest daughter of Prince Zhuang Yunlu (later known as Princess Heshuo Duanrou), and the sixth daughter of the abolished prince. The six daughters of the deposed prince, known as Princess Heshuo Shushen, were married to a Mongolian nobleman named Guanyinbao after Yongzheng hadn't raised them for a few years.As for Guanyinbao, she died within a few years of marriage, and the daughter of the abolished prince was a widow. She lived a long time, and she was still alive in the Qianlong Dynasty, at the age of seventy-seven.This is a very miserable woman. She lived for seventy-seven years, was imprisoned for fourteen or five years, and was a widow for more than fifty years.She was a casualty of royal politics. Use the fact that Yongzheng adopted the sixth daughter of the abolished prince, Princess Heshuo Shushen, to prove that all the daughters of the abolished prince will be safe and happy, and there is absolutely no possibility of trying to move out of the restricted area and hide elsewhere in times of crisis. logic cannot be established. In the fifty-first year of Kangxi, the prince was deposed and imprisoned for the second time. His family, his main wife and many concubines, as well as the children born to these women, including all male and female servants, lost their freedom again , although Kangxi ordered him to enrich his food and clothing and ensure his supply, who would be willing to live that kind of confinement life?Those who can manage to escape will definitely not miss any chance.If a woman next to the abolished prince gave birth to a daughter at that time, and her mother tried to transport her out of the forbidden place and entrust her to a family of officials and eunuchs who were usually close to her for hiding, it is possible. of.If it is said that when the prince was abolished, the family members never expected to be at a loss, then it is not surprising that some members of the family responded well before the second abolition.Although we have not been able to find any examples of the family members of the abolished prince trying to escape and hide, we can clearly find such a record from the 286th volume of "Records of the Holy Master of the Qing Dynasty": when the prince was abolished for the second time, There was a man named Delin in the Tai's womb, who had someone transport him out as a dead body by "deceitful death". At that time, Song Zhu, a great scholar, offended the king's law and hid him.Of course, it was revealed later, Delin was executed, and Songzhu was punished.Therefore, the case of Princess Heshuo Shushen cannot overturn my inference that Qin Keqing's prototype may be a baby girl who hid in the Cao family when the prince was abolished and the second abolished. Looking back, I will tell the true story of Cao Xueqin after the 80th chapter.Chapter 71, since it is written that Concubine Nan'an repeatedly praised Jia Tanchun, it means that Jia's mother's strategy of not letting Yingchun show up and only pushing Tanchun out was successful. The matchmaker came to the Rongguo Mansion to talk about Tanchun's marriage. She should have been entrusted by the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang had no reason to disagree, so she should be engaged later.Unexpectedly, after the engagement, something happened to Jia Zheng and he was investigated.Jia Yuanchun, who was beside the emperor, must be in a hurry, trying to find ways to save his father, the Rongguo Mansion and the entire Jia family.Then, just in time for the emperor to arrange a reconciliation.The emperor has a daughter of the same age, can he willingly marry his daughter to such a remote place?Of course there are some princes under him, are these people willing to dedicate their daughters to marry far away?Therefore, it became the best strategy to use the sinner's woman to pretend to be the flesh and blood of the royal family and take it out for a marriage.Under such circumstances, Jia Yuanchun would tell the emperor, I have a younger sister who is both talented and beautiful, and the age is right, should I use her to make a marriage?Although she is engaged to a son of Nan'an County King, Nan'an County King is definitely willing to dedicate everything to the Holy One, and instead of marrying Tanchun as his wife, he adopts her as his daughter, so that Tanchun will really have The identity of the princess, use it to marry a Danwan Fanguo, the Jia family is decent, and the Wang family of Nan'an County is also glorious, and it will save the use of real princesses and princesses.Moreover, everyone knew that Jia Zheng was already a criminal, and the Holy Majesty's ability to allow a woman from a criminal family to become a princess and send him a peace, also showed the Holy Majesty's benevolence and virtue.When Jia Yuanchun spoke in this way, he should have been pregnant and had not yet had a miscarriage, so the emperor agreed. Therefore, Jia Tanchun's distant marriage is a political tragedy. It is a woman who is treated as a gift and a bargaining chip in a political transaction and becomes a political victim.If she can really marry into the Wang's family in Nan'an County, it's not bad to add two phoenix kites together, but the kite with the big door panel is written with happy characters, and it comes like thunder. Going to marry a foreigner, and once you go and can't return, of course you will cry. Of course, the question then came, Jia Tanchun was used to make up with the fan, which foreign fan did he marry?In the first eighty chapters, Cao Xueqin wrote several foreign episodes.He not only wrote about "local fans", but also "foreign fans".In the seventeenth chapter, Jia Zheng talked about a country of daughters.Although Jia Zheng is generally old-fashioned, he still seems very knowledgeable in his words sometimes. When he sees Begonia flowers, he mentions the country of daughters.According to ancient legends, far away from China, there is a country of daughters, which is full of women and has no men.Then how did they get pregnant? In the waters of that country, they went down to take a bath, and they became pregnant.Don't you give birth to a boy when you are pregnant?The boys born will not grow up and must die, so the result of reproduction in this country is all women.This daughter country is rich in crabapple, called "Naughter Tang".This is a fictitious country, not to mention that it is impossible for the daughter country to marry a woman and discuss where Tanchun is going. Of course we exclude it. Well, Chapter 52 also mentions Zhenzhen Country. Xue Baoqin has been to many places with her father, among them is Zhenzhen Country. Something like the Caspian Sea to the west.Xue Baoqin said that there was a girl from Zhenzhen Country, with yellow hair, wearing a couplet, who could write Chinese poems, and she recited a poem by this woman to everyone.So did Tanchun marry to Zhenzhen Country?If you want to marry there, you should go by land at the beginning, which is not consistent with the painting in the fifth chapter. The painting shows a sea and a big boat. Tanchun Yuanyuan married to use such a means of transportation, really The country is on the edge of the West Sea, and it is not allowed to take a big boat in the process of getting to the edge of the West Sea, so we also ruled out the country of Zhenzhen. Then there is also a country mentioned in it, called France. Some people judged it to be France when they heard this sound, but some experts pointed out after careful research that France did not refer to France but Spain.Obviously, it is also difficult to imagine Jia Tanchun's distant marriage as marrying to that kind of place.Of course, the book also mentions Persia, Java, Siam and so on. So, according to Cao Xueqin's description after the 80th chapter, which country might Jia Tanchun marry into?There is a country that I didn't mention just now, but I want to mention it now, that is the country of Qianxiang.This Qianxiang Kingdom appeared in the twenty-eighth chapter.Do you remember that Jiang Yuhan gave Jia Baoyu a sweat towel as a gift?Where did this sweat towel come from?There are two ways of writing in ancient books, one is that the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom paid tribute.This style of writing is now adopted in current editions.Some readers have always wondered that you can pay tribute to anything, but how do you pay tribute to the belt?And it's the belt of the underwear, not the belt on the outside.Some people imagined that Qianxiang Kingdom might be rebellious against China at the beginning, invaded China, and was defeated by China. The queen was captured, and her belongings were regarded as spoils of war. A sweat scarf, the king of Beijing Jing gave it to Jiang Yuhan, Jiang Yuhan gave it to Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu later tied it around Xiren's waist, Xiren later realized after marrying Jiang Yuhan, oh, this piece The sweat towel turned out to be a tie in their two marriages. Then there is an ancient book, which is written to be brought by the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom, so it is not necessarily tied by the queen herself, nor is it necessarily a spoil of war.I think the name Qianxiang Country may refer to the country that is rich in madder.Madder has yellow flowers, but its stems and roots are bright red when squeezed out, and can be used as dyes.Qian, which means red, is also known as "blood sees sorrow".It is described in the book that the sweat towels are bright red sweat towels like blood spots. Maybe this country wants to export dyes to China. The textiles there are dyed bright red with madder dye, which is abundant there. The tribute was distributed, and after the distribution, it was just some blood-red textiles dyed with madder, and then different rewarded people made it into different items. At the King of Beijing, many sweat scarves may be made. Among them, Jiang Yuhan was rewarded.Is this explanation more satisfactory?Jia Tanchun was taken by the emperor to make peace with Fan, and the country she made peace with should be the Qianxiang Kingdom.Some people have verified that Qian Xiangguo alludes to Ryukyu.Ryukyu was originally a vassal state of China and wanted to pay tribute to China.Ryukyu is in the Pacific Ocean, which means that it is very appropriate to go there and draw a sea and a big ship.Jia Tanchun went across the ocean to marry Qianxiang Country, and she will never come back after she gets there.According to Cao Xueqin's description, Jia's family suffered a second wave of blows and was completely wiped out, leaving a vast expanse of whiteness. Now we can fully understand why in the painting about Tanchun in Chapter 5, there are two people flying a kite.就是因为她被皇帝拿去和番的时候，贾家当然是她的本家，应该会去送她，但南安郡王家既然改娶她为收为养女，也算是她父母家了，也得去江边送她，这就必须以两个人放风筝来象征。探春远嫁茜香国，当然失去了成为南安郡王妃的可能，但是去嫁给茜香国女王的儿子，她就是那国的王妃了。不过你一定不要把她当那个王妃想象得如何美好，飘洋过海，贫瘠之地，物质生活绝对比不了在荣国府大观园的时候，精神上更会苦闷，当那样的王妃其实就是一种流放。 有位红迷朋友问，书里会不会写皇帝干脆把贾探春收为养女，再把她作为公主嫁到茜香国？应该不会那样。因为她姐姐是皇帝的妃子，不能乱辈。而她作为南安郡王的女儿，以郡主身份嫁给一个弹丸小国的女王的儿子，就比较得宜。 嫁往茜香国，可以一直走水路，从北京通州张家湾码头登船，从大运河出发，再从长江口出海，越海到达茜香国，那么春季很少台风，海上航行会比较顺遂，这也就解释了为什么探春远嫁是在清明时节。那时杏花开了，运河解冻了，长江和太平洋都比较平静，正好乘大船出发。 贾探春就这样告别了自己风雨飘摇的家园，告别了自己的亲生父母，和跟自己耳鬓厮磨美好相处的二哥哥和姐妹们，那气氛，应该是悲怆的。对同父同母的亲弟弟贾环，她一贯不喜欢，但是我想在真正离别的时候，她也会感到难过。至于赵姨娘，她可能还是不认。 到这儿呢，《金陵十二钗正册》里面的女性，通过我前面的讲座和我这次讲下来，只剩下王熙凤和巧姐母女，还有李纨，没有专门加以探讨了。下一讲，我将向大家来讲述八十回后，关于王熙凤和巧姐的真故事。关于王熙凤，历来人们对她的论述可谓汗牛充栋，我还能有什么独家的讲述呢？那么我现在就告诉你，在八十回后，在第九十一回和九十九回这个情节单元里，会有一个非常重要的情节出现，叫做“王熙凤扫雪拾玉”。王熙凤怎么会扫雪？王熙凤拾到了一块什么玉？Please listen to the next lecture.
