Chapter 10 Chapter Nine: The Mystery of Chapters 91 to 99 (2)——The Mystery of Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie

A fan friend came to me and said that you are going to talk about Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng is not easy to talk about. There are too many works analyzing and researching this character in the past. What else do you have new?When I heard it, I was a little confused at first.I have read many works on Wang Xifeng, including an esthetician, Mr. Wang Chaowen, who wrote a large book "On Sister Feng". He broke it apart and analyzed Wang Xifeng from various angles. I benefited a lot from it.But I think I can still use my unique perspective to provide you with fresh insights.Speaking of Wang Xifeng, I will focus on her sweeping the snow and picking up the jade.

Some people must be wondering, Wang Xifeng sweeping the snow?Speaking of the first eighty episodes, how could there be scenes of Wang Xifeng sweeping snow?In the last forty chapters of Gao E's continuation, there is no Wang Xifeng sweeping the snow.She still picks up jade?What kind of jade should I pick up?What basis do you have for saying that? I won't throw out my evidence, but I will review with you a little bit. In the fifth chapter, the pictures and verdicts on the album about Wang Xifeng predict Wang Xifeng's fate.Everyone remembers that painting, it is a female phoenix on an iceberg.The iceberg symbolizes the towering and hard Jia family on the surface, which cannot withstand the scorching sun. Of course, the female phoenix is ​​Wang Xifeng. Once the iceberg melts, she will die together.As for the verdict, the method of splitting characters was used.The judgment about Wang Xifeng can especially reflect the beauty of the Kaizi method.The first sentence "every bird comes from the end of the world", "fanniao" is the traditional Chinese character "" separated into two characters. "Apocalypse" corresponds exactly to the iceberg on the painting.The second sentence "everyone knows that she loves this talent", shows that although Cao Xueqin wrote about her many sins and Wang Xifeng did many bad and indecent things, in general, she is considered a heroine, a heroine among women, and the author does not treat her wholeheartedly. Negative, even full of appreciation and affirmation for her, and I also believe that readers will still love and regret this artistic image in the end.Especially when she wrote that she assisted the Ningguo Mansion in organizing Qin Keqing's funeral, and vividly described her management skills, killing style, dedication, and ease of use. One or two skirt hairpins can make a family together."

The sentence at the bottom of the verdict is also a typical splitting method, but it is not as easy to understand as "Fan Niao". It has always been controversial among readers, and it is called "One obedience, two orders, three people wood".The last sentence is called "Crying to Jinling is even more sad", predicting that Wang Xifeng's final ending will be to die on the way to her ancestral home in Jinling, which may exceed the plot unit we are talking about now. Yes, I will talk about this later. Now let's discuss specifically, what is "one obedience, two orders and three people wood"?This sentence actually summarizes the three stages of the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.The first stage is called "one obedience". From the previous 80 chapters, we can see that Jia Lian is a man who is afraid of his wife and basically obeys the mighty Wang Xifeng.The second stage is called "Second Order". Because Wang Xifeng did some bad things and was pursued by the imperial family, her arrogance could no longer be high. She gave orders and she had to obey.In the third stage, it is even more miserable. It is called "three-person wood".A stand-alone person, a wood, the word Hugh.What is "Hugh"?In the past, men forcibly dissolved their wives, divorced their wives, and called divorce.So Wang Xifeng was finally divorced by Jia Lian.

This was foreshadowed in the first 80 chapters. When Sister Feng celebrated her birthday, Jia Lian went to have an affair with a low-class woman, which was exposed. Later, when Li Wan saw her, Li Wan was originally a very peaceful person, and he seldom spoke harshly. After Sister Feng poured vinegar and beat her, Li Wan couldn't help but said when she saw her, you actually stretched out your hand to make things even, I'm so angry that I only need to fight for Ping'er, and you are not worthy of picking up Ping'er's shoes, you two should just exchange one another!This is a foreshadowing, foretelling that after eighty chapters, Jia Lian will divorce Wang Xifeng and exchange positions with Ping'er.

Ping'er was originally a big girl of Tongfang, what is "Tongfang"?That is, when the hostess and hostess have sex, she can be by the side, and with the consent of the host and hostess, she can participate. This is a kind of male-centered society in the past era, which conforms to the norms of the time, but we modern people think it is A phenomenon of deformity. Wang Xifeng's dismissal should have been written in the last plot unit.On the eve of King Zhongshun's order from the emperor to seal up the Rongguo Mansion, the entire mansion was already in chaos.First of all, the "officials" are in chaos. "Guanzhong" is the management center of the mansion, and one of its most important functions is to manage the finances of the mansion.Every month, the general accountant will give the personal allowances from Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, to all the sons and daughters, as well as Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, and the maids who serve them-of course, the amount is based on grades, up and down. There is a big gap - it is called "moon silver", and a dozen of them are handed over to Wang Xifeng, who distributes them to each house and place.After Wang Xifeng got the money, she didn't send it out immediately. She sent her trusted servants to lend it to usury. Of course, it was a short-term usury. The shorter the term, the higher the interest. Some businessmen need a large amount of liquidity temporarily and cannot raise it , you can borrow this money from Wang Xifeng, and return it with high interest within a few days. Wang Xifeng waits for the principal bank and profit bank to come back, and then distributes the money. This has caused dissatisfaction among many people. It is written in the book, Such a big girl who is very loyal to her feudal master complains.

It turned out that Rongguo Mansion's position was stable, and Wang Xifeng felt that even if someone accused them of treason, he would not be afraid.However, Jia Zheng decided to hide the criminal property of the Zhen family and the matter of the general's poems. Someone has already impeached the emperor. Some people will rise up, who were angry at Wang Xifeng for lending money with "moon silver" but dare not speak out, but now they are yelling. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, lending is allowed, but there is a limit on the interest of lending, which cannot be violated, and usury that exceeds the standard cannot be granted. Wang Xifeng’s practice is called illegal interest, and he should be punished.

When this matter is exposed, Jia Lian will be the first to be investigated by the government. It is a patriarchal society. From the point of view of status, Jia Lian is a legal person and should bear full responsibility for managing the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, including all money matters.Jia Lian was already dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng began to hide it from him by illegally taking profits. Later, he found out that Wang Xifeng was still doing that, and the money was basically her private house, so Jia Lian couldn't do anything to her.Now that this matter was exposed, Jia Lian was the first to bear the brunt.Of course, once the government comes to investigate, he can explain it in detail, and it is not difficult to find witnesses to prove that it was his daughter-in-law who acted recklessly, but he can't completely get rid of the relationship, and after the matter is made public, he will also be ashamed, so , He hated Wang Xifeng deeply. On the one hand, in order to shirk his responsibility, on the other hand, he had not obeyed Wang Xifeng's words for a long time, and held Wang Xifeng's handle. He had already shouted at Wang Xifeng. Feeling that the time was right, he made up his mind to divorce Wang Xifeng.What's more, Second Sister You was clearly persecuted to death by Wang Xifeng, which left serious sequelae.When Jia Lian's family was in turmoil, Jia Zhen, the patriarch, came forward and formally divorced Wang Xifeng, and then made Ping'er his wife, and Wang Xifeng became a housekeeper.For Wang Xifeng, this exchange of social status is very humiliating and tragic.

Immediately afterwards, King Zhongshun may follow the emperor's order to come to Rongguo Mansion to announce the suspension of Jia Zheng, order him to confess honestly, pending further processing, seal up most of the real estate in Rongguo Mansion, and reduce the number of servants of the master in the mansion. This is a compliment to Rongguo Mansion. The first wave of blows.It is also possible that Jia Lian divorced Wang Xifeng when Zhongshun Wang first came to investigate the Rongguo Mansion, before the second wave of blows came.Then his intention included throwing out Wang Xifeng, so that the investigators could focus on Wang Xifeng, so as to alleviate other problems in the mansion.Wang Xifeng is indeed worth investigating. She still has an old account of controlling the Iron Kan Temple, involving two lives; report.

Although Jia Yuanchun kept pleading with the emperor in the palace, and the emperor once left room for Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion because she was pregnant, but Jia Amnesty's illegal behavior was also impeached, and Jia Yuanchun was in distress and anxiety. She had a miscarriage again, and it was discovered that Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion colluded with the forces of Prince Yizhong and Lao Qiansui, and they were rebellious and conspiring. Asking for Jia Yuanchun, the emperor abandoned her at a critical moment, so he was able to breathe and wait for rescue. Then when he returned to the capital, the emperor counted the new and old crimes of the Rongning and Ningfu mansions together, and even made the matter of hiding Qin Keqing in the Ningguo mansion back then as a crime. The "first crime" was cut with one knife, and the Jia family's two houses were wiped out.During this process, the second wave of devastating blows to the Rongguo Mansion should be the focus of Cao Xueqin's writing.

When the Rongguo Mansion was further deteriorated from being sealed up to being seized, and Jia Zheng's transition from suspension to dismissal and conviction, Cao Xueqin would write about a very important plot, that is, Wang Xifeng sweeps the snow and picks up jade.What is my basis?The evidence is solid, that is, in the twenty-third chapter, next to a detail in the twenty-third chapter of the ancient book, there is a very important comment. Shortly after the beginning of Chapter 23, it was mentioned that the Grand View Garden was originally built for the imperial concubine to visit her relatives. It took so much effort, but it was actually only used for one night. After it is used up, because this is the space used by the imperial concubine, no one is allowed to enter without permission , had to seal it up.After Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace, he thought, it would be a pity to seal such a beautiful garden, when will the next visit be?I couldn't explain clearly, so I issued an order to let Jia Baoyu and those sisters move in and make use of this space.

After Jia Yuanchun sent eunuchs to announce the decree, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang summoned Miss Gongzi and announced the matter to them.Baoyu was of course very happy to hear such an edict from Yuanchun.Later, he and Lin Daiyu exchanged news and asked Lin Daiyu where she wanted to live. Lin Daiyu said he liked Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he said he liked Yihong Courtyard. Later, they both lived in each other, and some other ladies lived in different rooms. Li Wan took Jia Lan lives in Daoxiang Village, and there is also a Longcui nunnery in it, where a nun Miaoyu originally lived.The Grand View Garden has been bustling since then. When I wrote about this in Chapter 23, there was one thing that seemed to be said so casually that ordinary readers tend to ignore it, that is, after the main house Jia Zheng finished speaking, he asked Jia Baoyu to withdraw. He was particularly afraid of his father. I felt uncomfortable in front of my father. When I heard that he was asked to withdraw, I was very happy, "withdraw slowly"-this is pretending in front of the parents-after leaving the main house, he showed his original shape and went outside the house. Jin Chuan'er stuck out her tongue with a smile, and "took off with the two nuns".where to goBefore moving into the Grand View Garden, he lived with Jiamu, so the book clearly stated that when he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he saw Xiren waiting there leaning on the door. While talking to Xiren, he returned to Jiamu. mother.After reading the first eighty chapters, you should have an idea of ​​the architectural layout of Rongguo Mansion.After coming out of the main house of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, pass through a passage door belonging to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, enter the narrow passage, and then reach a passage door. The passage door that the attacker was leaning on at that time led to Jia Mother courtyard.Regarding this text, Zhiyanzhai has a very important comment, which is called: "Wonderful! This is where Sister Feng sweeps the snow and picks up jade, and it is not messy." What does it mean?At that time, Zhiyanzhai had already read the eighty chapters, and then saw a full version. After the eighty chapters of the whole book, there was a plot where Wang Xifeng swept the snow to pick up the jade. Where was the place where he swept the snow to pick up the jade?As mentioned in Chapter 23, it is a little outside the entrance to Jiamu Courtyard.Zhi Yanzhai praised Cao Xueqin's writing skills, saying how wonderful it is, he arranged for Jia Baoyu to pass through this small space in the 23rd chapter, and in one of the 80th chapters, he just wanted to use this small space to create a new life. A very important plot is released, that is, Wang Xifeng sweeps the snow and picks up jade.Zhiyanzhai pointed out that this arrangement of grass-snake-grey lines and stretching thousands of miles is not chaotic at all, that is to say, when Cao Xueqin wrote later, he did not forget the foreshadowing set earlier, which is very correct.This comment once again shows that Cao Xueqin has not finished writing?It is finished.Did the text after eighty chapters ever exist?existed. Regarding the architectural structure of Rongguo Mansion, I would like to say a few more words.When Cao Xueqin wrote the story of this mansion, the scene space he arranged was not only the main house, the flower hall and the wing room, but he wrote many times about the auxiliary spaces such as the lanes and halls.For the close reading of the text I advocate, in the process of reading, in addition to grasping the character of the characters, the fate of the characters, and the development of conflicts, you should also have a sense of space.After reading it many times, you should form a continuous three-dimensional picture of the architectural layout and spatial conditions of the Rongguo Mansion and Grand View Garden he described. Let's not talk about Grand View Garden, let's talk about Rongguo Mansion first.The spatial structure of Rongguo Mansion, generally speaking, the first part is the main building complex of Rongguo Mansion. After entering from the main entrance of the mansion, it enters several spacious courtyards. The climax, the most important group of buildings, is the Rongxi Hall. It was the space where Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang lived, and it was also the most important space for family activities in the entire mansion.After the Rongxi hall, there are houses and side courtyards on both sides, one of which is inhabited by Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, and the other is inhabited by Aunt Zhou.It is a very large and complex group of buildings.Then, to the west of the main building complex of Rongguo Mansion, there is another large courtyard, which is lived by Jia Mu.The third chapter writes that Daiyu took refuge with her grandmother, and through her eyes, she gave a detailed description of the courtyard.From its outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, there is a vertical flower gate, which is connected with a veranda and leads to a very tall and wide main house, which is not only big enough for Jiamu to live in, but Baoyu, Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baoqin have all lived there successively.Later in the book, it was added that because Jia's mother loved to watch operas, a flower hall was added.There is a house behind the main house.In the above two spaces, the most stories happened.Behind these two large spaces, there is a relatively small courtyard where Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng live. In front of the door is a powder-painted screen wall—a screen wall is common in large and small courtyards in Beijing, and it is a building component that plays a role of shelter and decoration. ——In the courtyard where Wang Xifeng lives, there are many stories that happened. Between the above three buildings, is there any other space?Yes, it does not mean that they are separated by a wall and go through the door of the wall, that is not the case.There is a very important transitional space, which is called the narrow passage, or the corridor.The Forbidden City is now called the Forbidden City. When you visit it, you will find that there are long corridors between different buildings, with red walls on both sides, and some doors in the red walls. Some of these doors are called cathedral doors.Of course, the lanes in Rongguo Mansion are shorter and narrower than those in the Forbidden City, and red walls and yellow tiles are not allowed, but, as you can imagine, they are quite grand. Cao Xueqin's writing is indeed as thin as a cow's hair as Zhi Yanzhai said.He has arranged the plot of the story many times in the aisle, before and after the hallway.A rigid author who writes stories about aristocratic families can only describe the scenes in the main house, side rooms, and gardens, but Cao Xueqin, with his brilliant pen, arranges many plots in the lanes. Jia Yun, this is a descendant of a close branch of the Jia clan. His branch has declined, and he lives under the west corridor next to the temple, living a relatively poor life.He always thought of Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng to find some errands to improve his life.Jia Yun came to Rongguo Mansion to find an errand, and one of the most important plots happened in this narrow alley.He consciously waited in the aisle, because Wang Xifeng had rested and came out to work, and he would definitely appear in the aisle when he bypassed the screen wall from her small courtyard.Finally, one day, he met Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng didn't stop when he saw him. There was an intriguing dialogue between the two, showing their different personalities. In the end, Jia Yun offered Wang Xifeng borneol and musk, So I got an errand. Cao Xueqin also wrote about Jia Baoyu's encounters in this space many times. Once he met people who were "official" in the mansion, and once he met some cleanups supported by Jia Zheng. When they met twenty or thirty young men with brooms and dustpans, they didn't expect Jia Baoyu to appear suddenly, and they were terrified, because the difference in status between them and Jia Baoyu was too great, so they immediately retreated to the wall and stood with their hands down. A boy in the foreman came over to pay Baoyu a thousand tributes.Cao Xueqin unfolded a rich and colorful picture of life in the corridor, and he naturally displayed the highest and lowest roles in the mansion in such a transitional space. Zhiyanzhai told us that after eighty chapters, Wang Xifeng will sweep the snow and pick up jade in the lane.What is going on?Let's talk about snow removal first.Wang Xifeng turned out to be a female overlord in the mansion, she was the only one who asked others to sweep the snow, how could she sweep the snow herself?Back then, she didn't need to speak about snow sweeping, Ping'er could just ask, even Ping'er didn't have to speak, the second-class girl Feng'er could order someone to sweep the snow, how could she do it?But at this stage of the story, the Rongguo Mansion suffered the first wave of blows first. Some masters may not have been directly hit, but Wang Xifeng was already in a very miserable situation. Jia Lian divorced her, ordinarily divorced her. After a pass, she became the big girl of Tongfang, and she is no longer the master. Will King Zhongshun, who came to seal up the Rongguo Mansion, let her go temporarily?That is impossible, not to mention that someone in the mansion would report on her, pointing out that she was once the housekeeper of the whole mansion, and the people brought by King Zhongshun, including King Zhongshun himself, knew that she was the head of the mansion. Definitely take her as a key point.The second wave of blows came even more ferociously.Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian were all punished, and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, and Ping'er were all punished accordingly. They were either exiled to a bitter cold place with their husbands, or given death, or taken away. To sell it, but for Wang Xifeng, the case was not closed for a while. Will the emperor attack the criminals wave by wave?Will the punishment of the guilty person take a long time to close the case?Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty attacked the Cao family one by one, and did not immediately cut across the board.In history, Emperor Yongzheng dealt with Li Xu, the weaver in Suzhou during the Kangxi Dynasty. , was detained and interrogated for a long time, and it was not until the fifth year of Yongzheng that the case was finally finalized, and he was exiled to the bitter cold of Dasao Ula to serve as a slave to armored men.The first wave of punishment for Cao (if he is not Cao Xueqin's father or uncle) was to hand him over to Prince Yi to take care of him. It was not until the sixth year of Yongzheng that he was arrested in Beijing for "harassing the station".Since there have been such things in real life, it is not surprising that in the novel, Cao Xueqin wrote that the emperor attacked the Rongning Second Mansion in two waves, and that Wang Xifeng had a long process from being interrogated to being exiled.He has a basis for life. Of course, he has artistically processed "true things" with "false words". In short, the Rongguo Mansion was hit by the second wave and was thoroughly searched. King Zhongshun, who presided over the search, wanted to get more spoils from it.When the emperor announces the seizure of a noble official, he often rewards all the seized property to the official in charge of the seizure. This is how Yongzheng ordered the seizure of Cao. He rewarded all of Cao's family property to Sui He, the inspector appointed by him. Germany.So in the story, the emperor rewarded King Zhongshun with the property confiscated from Jia’s family, so King Zhongshun couldn’t easily let go of every piece of wealth. Reasonable.At that time, Jia Baoyu might have been transferred to the prison, but Wang Xifeng stayed and gathered in the wing room of Jiamu's courtyard with other girls, women, men and servants who were waiting to be dealt with in the mansion. Jiamu suffered the first wave in Rongguo Mansion. Before the attack, they had already passed away—sleeping on the floor at night, being punished as hard labor during the day, and when it snowed heavily, you had to sweep the snow.Wang Xifeng never expected that she used to be a formidable general manager like a "sea patrolling night fork", and now she is a prisoner, and she will be tortured from time to time, asking her to explain what other properties she has concealed, and she is the one who said it all. Wang didn't believe it either. He always felt that the Rongguo Mansion was so big and there was a Grand View Garden. Apart from the copied ones, were there any gold, silver and jewels secretly buried in the walls or underground?He must have dug walls and ground in places he suspected, while forcing Wang Xifeng to come from the truth.That kind of situation is really worse than being sent to prison.Then it was winter again, and it snowed heavily, and Wang Xifeng was driven to do low labor, that is, to sweep snow. Wang Xifeng swept the snow and found a piece of jade just outside the hallway door where the attacker leaned against.What kind of jade is it?Some red fans will say, it must be the psychic gem!This is the most important piece of jade in the book!But my opinion is different. I may not be right, or you may be right, but we can discuss it.I don't think it's a psychic gem.The psychic treasure jade is something that Jia Baoyu was born with, and everyone knows it, even the emperor knows it.Therefore, out of superstition, ordinary people dare not touch this thing.The psychic jade should always be worn by Jia Baoyu himself. Even if he encounters adversity, he will not abandon the psychic jade, nor will he carelessly drop it and pick it up without feeling.Even if the confiscators confiscate it, they will store it in a very solemn place, and will not drop it in the snow casually.Those who participated in the inspection would not steal the psychic jade, because according to the explanation in the book, according to the secular standard, its fineness is not good, it is a piece of sick jade, it just has a special meaning, in the secular commodity transaction, It's not worth much.What's more, according to the mythical concept in the book, the monks in the heavens can command this jade together. If the jade is gone, it may be called away by a monk.Therefore, what Wang Xifeng picked up by sweeping the snow would not be the psychic gem. It's not a psychic jade, so what kind of jade did Wang Xifeng pick up?Let's think about it, did the book mention that a piece of jade was stolen?Read the first eighty chapters carefully, and you will find that it is about a piece of jade being stolen. It happened when Baoyu lived with Jia Mu, and the person who stole the jade had a name.When was this written?It was back in fifty-two. Chapter 52 talks about "Qiao Ping'er loves to cover up the shrimp beard bracelet, and Yong Qingwen's sickness makes up the bird's golden fur".Although Ping'er is just a big girl, but she helps Wang Xifeng with affairs, and she has quite a lot of power in her hands. When Wang Xifeng is sick, sometimes she doesn't inform Wang Xifeng first, and she makes decisions on the matter herself, redressing the injustice and sentencing the prison. The command is determined.In the eighty chapters, her status was low on the surface, but in fact she was once in the Rongguo Mansion, and she was a very important person.She often goes out with the real ladies in the mansion. The jewelry she wears, such as a shrimp beard bracelet with pearls on it, is very luxurious, and it is of the same level as the jewelry worn by her masters. It was also snowing that year, "the world of glass is white with snow and red plums, and the fragrant baby with fat powder cuts fishy and eats mutton". In Luxueguang in Grand View Garden (here, the word "guang" reads "cover", and the garden building surrounded by mountains and rivers is called "guang" ), Shi Xiangyun took the lead and ate barbecue and roasted venison. The ladies treated Ping'er equally, so she ate roasted venison together. For the convenience of eating, she took off the shrimp whisker bracelet. The bracelet was missing!Who stole it?It was written later in the book, and it was revealed that it was stolen by Zhui'er, a little girl from Yihong Courtyard.Zhui'er, listen to this homonym. One of Cao Xueqin's artistic techniques is the method of splitting characters, and the second artistic technique is the homophonic metaphor. "Chui'er" means "Sin'er". According to the secular standards, of course she is guilty of stealing.After Ping'er found out about Zhuo'er's theft, she was kind-hearted and didn't want to make it public. She went to Yihong Courtyard and called Musk Moon over and told her quietly.Ping'er emphasized, don't make this matter public.Why?She was not thinking of Zhui'er, but of Baoyu.She said, Baoyu pays attention to you and strives to win - because big families have different houses, your Baoyu has one house, and Jia Huan also has one house. Thief, the other house should stretch out its index finger to scratch its face—Baoyu is a person who cares about face, so Ping'er said, don't make it public for Baoyu's sake.Then I said that in that year, there was a Lianger who stole jade—she traced back, that incident may have happened before Daiyu entered the mansion—after a year or two of cold weather, some people still mentioned it to take advantage of their wishes. As for the child, another gold thief ran out, and even stole it to the neighbor's house.Then this sum is by no means superfluous, it is a foreshadowing.Now Zhui'er is stealing gold, how can it be called stealing neighbors?Because Ping'er does not belong to Yihong Courtyard, nor does she live in Grand View Garden, she lives with Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian in a small courtyard to the west of Grand View Garden, north of Rongguo Mansion. The seriousness of this is that the object of her theft is no longer in the space she serves, which shows that she is really reckless. Ping'er advocated that if he didn't tell the story of the theft, he should find another reason to throw Chuer out, so that Baoyu wouldn't feel ashamed, and the people in the other room wouldn't watch jokes and gossip.Pinger wanted to explain to Sheyue behind Baoyu's back, but Baoyu heard it. Baoyu was very moved and thanked Pinger for his care and protection.But Baoyu didn't hold back his mouth, so he went to tell Qingwen who was ill. When Qingwen heard this, she immediately lost her temper. She called Zhui'er and pulled out a hair ornament on her head that looked like a sharp awl at one end. —— Just tied Zhui'er's hand, Qingwen got angry and drove Zhui'er out.Zhui'er must have a story after eighty episodes. The role of Zhui'er is very important.In the Grand View Garden, who is Zhui'er's friend?That's no ordinary person.Do you remember Baochai fluttering butterflies in Dicui Pavilion?Who is Xiaohong talking to in the Dicui Pavilion?It's Zhui'er.Zhui'er privately passes a handkerchief to Xiaohong Jia Yun as a token of love.From our point of view today, isn't Zhui'er mean and shameless?I don't think you can look at things that way.What is the purpose of her stealing the shrimp whiskers?Definitely not for wearing it for herself, can she wear it?She continued to work in the Yihong Courtyard and was active in the Grand View Garden. She dangled Ping'er's shrimp beard bracelet, okay?Certainly not.Zhui'er and Xiaohong have the same thoughts. Xiaohong once said: There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. After three to five years, who knows who will do what?These girls are getting old, "how about pulling them out to match the boys", isn't it?If you have a little savings yourself, such as secretly exchanging the shrimp whisker bracelet for private silver, you will be matched with someone after you go out, because you have silver, on the issue of who to allocate to, you may get one by bribing the housekeeper who handles the matter. A slightly better object.Therefore, this kind of behavior of Zhuang'er is a brave behavior of a female slave in such a social environment to plan for her own future.Of course, she didn't succeed. Zhui'er stealing gold and Liang'er stealing jade all happened in the Rongguo Mansion.Zhui'er steals gold after, while Liang'er steals jade first.Did Zhui'er really steal gold, and Liang'er really steal jade?Think about the naming of Liang'er, she and Zhui'er are compatible, one is a guilty girl, and the other is a kind girl of mine, then from the way of naming, you can judge that this Liang'er was a Innocent.She was kind, she did not steal jade, where did that jade go? The story flowed to Rongguo Mansion, which encountered a second wave of attacks and was thoroughly searched.Those soldiers who ransacked the house would be filled with some stolen items during the separate inspection process. This piece of jade should have been copied from Jiamu's main house, which is the space where Baoyu lived a few years ago. Its soldiers saw that it was in good condition and would be very valuable, so they took advantage of the officer's absence to hide it. Of course, according to regulations, all copied items must be stored and registered in designated places, and privately seized items must also be checked. Taking a certain risk, the soldier will inevitably panic. It is more likely that he has more than one item in his possession, and it is impossible to keep them all so tightly. It was written three times, Xiren leaned on the door and waited for Baoyu to come back from the main room where Mrs. Jia Zhengwang lived in the east—so he dropped the piece of jade in the corridor outside the door, and people didn't notice it for a while. , It snowed heavily, and the flying snowflakes quickly buried the piece of jade. Wang Xifeng was fined to sweep the snow, and when he swept it to that position—not a single mess—it was discovered. In this episode, Cao Xueqin will write that Wang Xifeng has mixed feelings after picking up the jade.In the courtyard where Jia Mu lived, in the space where Baoyu lived, a piece of valuable jade was lost. Of course, Wang Xifeng personally investigated and dealt with this matter.Most of Baoyu's girls are suspicious.The thieves may end up targeting the most suspected girls.How did Wang Xifeng treat the suspected girl back then?Do you remember what Wang Xifeng told Pinger once?In the sixty-first round, there was a theft lawsuit involving rose dew and Fulingshuang in the Grand View Garden. At that time, Wang Xifeng was recovering from illness and did not directly manage the affairs. They knelt on porcelain tiles under the sun, were not given food and drink, and knelt for a day without talking, to see if they recruited!This method of resolving theft lawsuits and treating servants is obviously not a new invention of Wang Xifeng. After Liang'er was locked up as a thief who stole jade, she must have been dealt with by Wang Xifeng like this, kneeling on a porcelain tile—that is, after the porcelain was broken. Broken porcelain pieces—kneel on my knees, under the sun, no food, no drink, will you invite me?No matter how healthy a person is, he couldn't stand it. In the end, Liang'er was beaten into a trick and couldn't hand over the jade, so he had to admit that it was leaked and sold. In this way, Liang'er was regarded as a jade thief and kicked out. It will implicate some other servants, and those servants are judged to be helping Liang Er to pass on jade and sell jade.At that time, things made a lot of noise. Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan and the others would laugh at and ridicule Baoyu, look around you, there are thieves nesting!For this reason, Baoyu was in a bad mood for a long time. After a few years, the vicissitudes have changed dramatically. Wang Xifeng was reduced to a lowly servant to sweep the snow. When she found a piece of jade, she picked it up and looked at it. My son didn't steal this piece of jade. It should be this time that the house was raided. The soldiers scoured the place where Jiamu lived with Baoyu like a grate, and the jade was taken out from nowhere. In my arms, when I ran past this place, I landed on the side of the hallway next to the hallway, and I picked it up by myself!Thinking back to a few years ago, I was so arrogant, so cruel to Liang'er, and wronged him.At that time, when I dealt with another life, I was so rash and merciless.Now Prince Zhong's Mansion is here to raid Jia's Mansion, and asks me to explain how much property Jia's Mansion still has. You can't explain everything clearly, I have to force you to say it again, let you kneel down on porcelain tiles, don't give you food or drink, it's snowing heavily, and your clothes are thin , you sweep the snow for me... Cao Xueqin can write, and in that situation, Wang Xifeng's conscience was discovered, and he wrote about the deepest regret in a life, that kind of complicated feeling about the taste of life.That paragraph of text must have a strong impact on readers, and it can trigger readers' deep awareness of humanity and human nature. In the plot unit of Cao Xueqin's 91st to 99th chapters, Wang Xifeng will appear The plot of the.This is a content that was not touched by researchers before, or even at all. It is a relatively exclusive exploration result that I wholeheartedly dedicate to you. A fan friend said that it is understandable for Wang Xifeng to be one of the "Jinling Twelve Beauties", but her daughter, Qiaojie, is very young in the story and does not have many plots. What about the hairpin in "The Book of Twelve Hairpins"?I think, Cao Xueqin is to reflect a three-dimensional and all-round scan of the poor women of the Jia family. In "Jinling Twelve Beauties", there are some who have already married and become daughters-in-law, such as Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and even Jia Yuanchun who entered the palace and came to the emperor's side, so there are also those who are of the same generation as them, some who have not had time to marry or married later Miss, at the same time, also arrange for family members who are a generation younger than them.Based on her marriage to Jia Rong, Qin Keqing's seniority is one level lower, and Sister Qiao is the same seniority as her.但秦可卿太神秘，辈分感不鲜明，那么把巧姐安排进去，就使得《金陵的十二钗正册》的阵容更加立体化，有利于深化“万艳同悲”“千红一哭”的悲剧效应。而且巧姐这个人物的命运，也寄托着曹雪芹他很多的感慨。王熙凤千不对、万不对，但是刘姥姥到荣国府来，作为一个穷亲戚——其实根本不是正经亲戚，很牵强的一种联宗关系——来求她救济，她善待了刘姥姥，那么善有善报，最后刘姥姥就解救了困厄当中的巧姐。 巧姐最终应该是一个什么结局呢？应该是嫁给了刘姥姥的外孙子板儿，这在书里面是有很明确的伏笔的。有人相信高鹗的写法，高鹗是说巧姐后来嫁给了刘姥姥所住的农村的一个姓周的富户，这是不对的。前八十回写刘姥姥第二次到荣国府去，贾母带着她游览大观园，到了贾探春的居所，探春屋里大瓷盘里有佛手，板儿要了一个大佛手玩。佛手跟柚子在植物学上是亲戚，是同一种植物的不同变种。柚子长得圆圆的，佛手它底下有一个圆托，上面伸出好多手指头似的分支。柚子剥开皮可以吃它的果肉，佛手一般来说不能吃，如果要吃就把嫩佛手切成片制成蜜饯。那么书里面很具体地写到，巧姐——当时应该还没有这个名字，这名字恰恰是刘姥姥后来给她取的，当时她只叫大姐儿——看见板儿手里拿着佛手，她就要这个佛手，开头板儿还不愿意给，后来经过大人协调，香橼——柚子又叫香橼，也可以写成香圆——就换到了板儿手里，佛手就换到了大姐儿手里。板儿开头不乐意，后来一看这柚子能当球踢，因为他是男孩，又很高兴。 这样一些描写，分明是一个伏笔。脂砚斋的批语，在这个地方也点破了，说“小儿长情，遂成千里伏线”。就是告诉你最后他们俩结为夫妻了。why?因为“柚子，即今香圆之属也，应与缘通”，就是香缘，意味着有一个姻缘在里面。 “佛手者，正指迷津者也。”佛手好象手指头似的，但是不是人的手，是神佛的手，所以叫佛手，佛手起什么作用呢？指迷津，你的生命陷于迷途中，它能起到指点你把路走通的解救作用。 当贾府崩溃，巧姐作为未成年家属，允许亲戚领走的时候，她的舅舅王仁，就来把她领出，但并不是要抚养她，而是把她卖到妓院去了。解救巧姐，涉及到贾芸“仗义探庵”、妙玉在庵里佛手指向处，留下一包银子，以及刘姥姥带着板儿及时赶到，用那包银子将巧姐赎离火坑，等等情节。刘姥姥将巧姐带回自己家中，最后她嫁给了板儿。这才是曹雪芹八十回后的真故事。高鹗写她嫁给了周姓地主，是不符合曹雪芹原笔愿意的。 高鹗为照应第五回关于巧姐的判词里“狠舅奸兄”的提法，把王熙凤的胞兄王仁设定为“狠舅”，这是对的，王仁这个名字谐音“忘仁”，过去把“仁义礼智信”作为建道德的基本组成，第一个就是“仁”，那么这个舅舅对自己妹妹的女儿，狠心往火坑里卖，当然是“忘仁”；但是高鹗把“奸兄”设定为贾芸，还有贾蔷，可就大错特错了！这两个人根本不是曹雪芹后八十回里面所写到的“奸兄”，那么这个“奸兄”是谁呢？有人一定会很感兴趣，应该告诉我“奸兄”是谁，可是又会皱眉头，为什么呢？你不是预告讲完王熙凤、巧姐，你要讲李纨吗？你怎么横生枝杈呢？我没有横生枝杈，要闹清楚对这个巧姐下毒手的“奸兄”是谁，就必须要从对李纨的分析说起。请期待我下一讲。
