Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen: The Mystery of Chapters 100 to 108 (3)——The Mystery of "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling and the Second Volume"

The exploration of "Jinling Twelve Beauties" is over.In the chapter 5 of the Taixu Illusion Realm Bo Mingsi, in addition to the main book and the supplementary volume, there is also a supplementary volume, so who is in the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins and the Sub-volume"?There must be Qingwen and Xiren. Although Cao Xueqin did not directly name them in the fifth chapter, he explained them through the pictures on the album and the verdict.Who else but the two of them?Please look forward to my next lecture. In "The Second Book of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling", Qingwen ranked first, and Xiren ranked second. This is the consensus of everyone.The pictures and judgments about them on the album are familiar to everyone, so I won't describe and quote them.

The "Main Book" and "Supplementary Book" all accepted female masters, and "Second Book" began to accept maids.Qingwen ranked first, which means a lot. The origins of the girls in the Jia family are different.The sources of Jia's girls are mainly two categories: the first category is family-born and domesticated.The Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion described by Cao Xueqin have been handed down from Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong for a hundred years.In the beginning, there were many servants in their family, including men and women.Under the instigation of the master, the male servant and the female servant mate with each other and give birth to offspring.The boy who was born became the male servant of the Jia family when he grew up, and the girl became the maidservant of the Jia family, serving as slaves for generations.This is the first source of girls in the Jia family, and it is the biggest source.Most of the girls written in the book come from this source.

Like the No. 1 big girl next to Jiamu, Yuanyang, she is a girl who was born and raised at home.Jia She forced the marriage and insisted on Yuanyang marrying him as his concubine, but Yuanyang refused, so Jia She used her brother and sister-in-law to persuade her.Yuanyang's elder brother, Jin Wenxiang, and his sister-in-law are both servants in the Rongguo Mansion. The elder brother is in charge of the purchases of the Jiamuyuan, and the sister-in-law is in charge of the washing of the Jiamuyuan.Yuanyang is very staunch, her sister-in-law came to persuade her, but she scolded her severely.So Jia Amnesty decided to call her parents and let her parents take care of the matter.It was explained in the book, where is her father?Not in the capital, not in Rongguo Mansion, where is it?In the old house.The old house of Rongguo Mansion is in Jinling, that is, Nanjing. There are several servants there who are responsible for guarding the old house, and Yuanyang's parents are among them.Jia She asked Jia Lian to find Yuanyang's parents, and Jia Lian reported to Jia She, saying that her father had become obsessed with phlegm and would not live long. Well, she is deaf, and it is useless for you to bring her to Beijing.Jia Amnesty was furious when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.

Another source is the daughter of the common people.Some common people were so poor that they had no food to eat, so they had to sell their sons and daughters, and some sold their daughters to Jia's mansion as maids.Attacking people is such a history.After the story in the book officially unfolded, she was still able to go home to visit relatives during the holidays; her father was gone, but her mother and brother were still there, and the family's financial situation had improved, so her mother and brother once considered To redeem her back home, of course, Xiren himself was unwilling to leave Rongguo Mansion, especially Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu, under the guidance of the servant Baoming, secretly came to Xiren's house, Xiren's mother and brother saw her He and Baoyu were so close, so they understood why Xiren told them "I will not go back until I die"; later Xiren's mother passed away, and the mansion allowed her to go to the funeral in a beautiful way.Judging from the description in the book, Ping'er should have been a girl bought from ordinary people at the earliest. Of course, it should have been bought by Wang's family. Wang Xifeng entered the Rongguo Mansion and became the most outstanding member of the girl group in the Rongguo Mansion. She was beaten when she was "unexpectedly changed, Sister Feng poured vinegar". Jia Baoyu invited her to the Yihong Courtyard. ", in that episode, through Baoyu's psychological activities, Ping'er "has no parents, brothers and sisters". It can be seen that the girl bought from the folk, like Xiren, can still keep in touch with her original family. It is really lucky. And there should be more duckweeds like Ping'er.

Then think about it, which of the above two categories does Qingwen belong to?Do you want to understand?She is neither!Qingwen's background is extremely humble.She is not a descendant of generations of servants in the mansion, nor is she a girl bought with money in the mansion.How did she come here?Besides, because Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion have been rich for hundreds of years, there are many old servants in them. The retired old servants are very respectable because they have served their masters in the previous life. The current masters have to respect them a little bit.They have accumulated a lot of money through years of service, and generally do not live in the mansion.Lai Da, a big housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, his family has been slaves in Rongguo Mansion for generations, and finally became very powerful. Lai Da goes to Rongguo Mansion every day to work, and returns to his home after get off work.His house is a very large house, and even has a large garden. Although the scale is not comparable to the Grand View Garden, "it is also very neat and spacious, with springs, stones, forests, pavilions and pavilions, and there are several shocking places."Lai's mother is still alive, she is Lai Nanny.Nanny Lai should be an old servant of the same generation as Mother Jia, but she retired a long time ago. After retirement, she lived a very pampered life in the big house with a garden purchased by Lai Da.Lai Da's descendants, when they grow up, should all come to serve the master of the Rongguo Mansion. Lai Da gave birth to a son named Lai Shangrong. Lai Da pleaded with the master to redeem Lai Shangrong and become a free man. The mansion agreed.This Lai Shangrong was raised in Lai Da's own house like a phoenix. In the end, he passed the imperial examination and got a post as a county magistrate. The young master went, and some people from other aristocratic families went, even Jia Tanchun went, and by the way, he got a management certificate from the Lai family girl.Therefore, the old servants of Jia's mansion can be said to be very beautiful.Once Lai Momo came to Rongguo Mansion, in fact, she was visiting, but she was a servant after all, so she couldn't say she was visiting, what was her name?Hello.When she came to Rongguo Mansion to pay her respects, she first wanted to greet Jia's mother, of course Jia's mother was very happy.Some high-class servants like this also have servants and maids themselves.Nanny Lai came to say hello to Mother Jia, she was with a girl, and that time she brought a little girl, not yet ten years old, Mother Jia liked it very much when she saw it, and Mother Lai liked it very much when she saw that the old master liked it. I will flatter you, just say that since you like this little girl, then treat her as a thing and give it to you as a filial piety!Qingwen entered the Rongguo Mansion in this way, and first became Jia Mu's maid. Later, Jia Mu allocated the maids around her to Baoyu, Xiren, and Qingwen.Xiren was called Pearl when she was with Jiamu. Baoyu grew up and read some ancient poems. She is aggressive.However, Xiren was bought by the Jia family with silver, while Qingwen was a servant of a servant. Being a scum”, that is very appropriate.

Regarding Qingwen, readers have always been very impressed with her. Many readers have shed tears for her, and many commentators have discussed Qingwen from various angles.Qingwen has a distinctive personality and plays many roles in the book, which is worth discussing in detail.However, it has been discussed many times by others that the buns chewed by others are not fragrant, so I will not repeat them here.I am here to share with you my personal experience of reading the text carefully and put forward a few points. One thing is that I don't know if everyone has noticed. There is an explanation in the book later. Qingwen is still very young, a girl in her teens. After she arrived at Rongguo Mansion, she did one thing.What is it?She thought, I went from a house of the Lai family to a house of the Jia family. The Lai family was a servant of the Jia family. I changed from a servant of a servant to a servant of their master. I should be very happy to be promoted; then at this time, she thought, I can't just enjoy this benefit by myself, can I let others share some of it?Qingwen didn't know who her parents were at all, and she didn't have any blood relatives that could be identified with certainty, but she thought that there was a person who was vaguely related to her by blood. According to the book, it was one of her uncles and brothers, a A person who can slaughter animals and cook is reduced to society.Therefore, after Qingwen arrived at Rongguo Mansion, she begged Lai Da, the big housekeeper, to allow her uncle and brother to get rid of the life of wandering and worrying about food and clothing, and come to Rongguo Mansion to "eat food and work" and have a fixed residence from then on. ,stable income. "Eat work and food" is the original text in the book. When I read these three words, I felt sore for some reason.Qingwen was far from an adult at that time, but she already had this kind of heart to share benefits with others.Her aunt and brother were able to enter the Rongguo Mansion, and later this aunt and brother married a wife.Unexpectedly, after Qingwen was expelled by Mrs. Wang, this uncle and brother were very cruel to her, and that uncle and sister-in-law were even more outrageous.

The relevant explanation about Qingwen's arrangement of her aunt and brother into the mansion is often ignored by readers and commentators.But I urge readers to cover their pages and meditate, Qingwen, such a small life, has a gossamer-like living state, with a charcoal-like personality, often cruising in danger without knowing it, and the least able to protect herself, but in her In the depths of her heart, she has the softest affection. When she gets a little benefit, she always wants to share it with others. Finally, she remembers that there is an uncle and brother, so that he can also enter the mansion and get a better life than before.In fact, the so-called aunt and uncle are a very vague concept of blood.Your uncle's son is your uncle's cousin, and your uncle's son is your uncle's cousin. Uncle and brother are extremely vague terms. Cao Xueqin wrote this way to tell readers that Qingwen herself can't figure it out. Whether it is her uncle's or her uncle's child, but it has something to do with her, so she cares about others and takes care of them.Therefore, for the image of Qingwen, we must pay attention to the kindness and beauty deep in her heart carved out by Cao Xueqin.

Qingwen lives by her temper.Commentators often point out that Qingwen is the shadow of Daiyu.Just as Xiren is the shadow of Baochai.She is "flirty and dexterous and attracts people's resentment", but please pay attention, Mother Jia does not dislike her, but admires her very much.There is a conflict between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, let alone other aspects, the two people's eyes are very different.Mrs. Wang likes well-behaved offspring who completely abide by the feudal ethics.Jia's mother is more tolerant of open-minded personality. She not only tolerates but also appreciates Wang Xifeng's rudeness; she can also tolerate Daiyu's bitterness and never blames her; With a sharp mouth, he only thinks it is lively and interesting.There is a very important point in the book. After Qingwen was kicked out and even died, when Mother Jia talked about Qingwen to Mrs. Wang, she still spoke in an appreciative tone. She said, "I think Qingwen is a very nice girl." ——Note: It’s not just good, it’s "very good"——she said, "I mean, these girls are not as good at talking and sewing as he is. In the future, he will be the only one who can be used by Baoyu."This passage appears at the beginning of the seventy-eighth chapter.Mr. Zhou Ruchang believed that Cao Xueqin’s original writing of the first 80 chapters was up to the 78th chapter, and the 79th and 80th chapters were not written by Cao Xueqin. He tried to write another 79th and 80th chapters In the seventy-ninth chapter he wrote, there is an important plot, which is that Jia's mother was expelled to death because of Qingwen and blamed Mrs. Wang.Mr. Zhou's point of view is sufficient for reference.

In the past, there was an argument that characterized Qingwen as a female slave with a sense of rebellion.This kind of positioning and labeling of Qingwen has some reasons for critics, but I personally don't agree with it.I don't think Qingwen's tragedy is because she has class consciousness, consciously carried out the struggle against feudal oppression, and was defeated because of her weak strength.The so-called class consciousness, or female slave consciousness, is to feel that I am exploited and oppressed, I am locked in a cage, I feel suffocated, I resist, and I want to break out of this cage and go out to be free.Qingwen is obviously not like this.Qingwen's tragedy is a tragedy of character.

After the death of Cao Xueqin, many years passed in the West. At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, a Swiss scholar, Carl Jung, put forward a very influential proposition called "Character is destiny", that is, "Sow A kind of character, you will reap a kind of destiny".Although Cao Xueqin did not sum up such a sentence, in his texts, he has long expressed such a philosophical thinking, that is, many major turning points in life, great comedies, and great tragedies, of course have political reasons, economic reasons, and other reasons. Social reasons, but often the deepest factor is character.Qingwen’s style of consuming her own life according to her own temperament is most fully expressed in the episode of "tearing a fan to make a daughter laugh". Everyone was very impressed and discussed a lot. I will not repeat the specific plot. .Because of her sharp personality, Baoyu was not happy for a while.Baoyu said angrily, then I will go back to my wife and send you out.If Qingwen is really a so-called rebellious female slave with class consciousness, she should be very happy.This is a cage, I am exploited and oppressed here, you let me out of the cage, great!Just slap your ass and leave.But what is written in the book?What was Qingwen's reaction at that time?Qingwen cried at the end, saying, "Why did I go out? If you want to dislike me, you can send me out in different ways, but you can't do it."This is Qingwen described by Cao Xueqin.Why is Qingwen willing to stay in the "cage" rather than go out?Everything has a specific environment, specific factors.Of course, if you analyze it from the perspective of class analysis, girls like Qingwen are indeed female slaves, female slaves serving slave owners.In a profound sense, they are exploited and oppressed.But when it comes to Rongguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, and the environment of Yihong Courtyard, the lives of these girls, especially first and second-class girls, are not much different from those of young masters and young ladies. They are very comfortable and comfortable.What's more, Baoyu, the master, advocates "equality in the world and law", has a broad mind of "love without emotion", and has an open mind. Not only does he never oppress the girls, but he also appreciates and cares for them like flowers.In such a living environment, Qingwen feels like a fish in water and is at ease. Not only does she not feel that it is a cage, and she wants to break free at any time, but she regards being coquettish and indulgent in that environment as the necessity of life, thinking that You can live in such a leisurely way forever.Qingwen herself has a catchphrase: "Get out!" She is very fierce compared to her inferior girls and mother-in-law, and she often scares them: Get you out!Just kick it out!The tone is no different from that of the master.The master hasn't said that yet, so she said it first.She also took action and directly made the decision to drive out Guo Zhui'er.She never imagined that she would be kicked out one day.Cao Xueqin wrote such an undefended and unaware Qingwen.

When a red fan discussed Qingwen with me, I said sadly that Qingwen shot herself in the foot.She can only talk about bad people when she said this. After Qingwen died, Baoyu wrote a long and quaint "Fu Rong 诔", praising her "for its quality, gold and jade are not enough to describe its value, and for its nature, ice and snow are not enough." To describe its cleanliness, if it is a god, the stars and moons cannot describe its essence; if it is its appearance, the flowers and moons cannot describe its color."How can such a being have the heart to say that she "shoots herself in the foot"?I sorted out the plot development in the book with her. Qingwen was kicked out in the end, and the most direct reason was to search the Grand View Garden.Why was the Grand View Garden plagiarized?The wind starts at the end of Qingping, or it is called the "butterfly effect"-it was just a butterfly's wings flapping gently, but it turned into a big storm.The "butterfly's wings" that led to the tragedy of copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, in other words, who started the incident?It was Qingwen herself. Do you remember the logical chain of plot development starting from Chapter 73?That night, when Baoyu was about to go to bed, suddenly a girl named Xiao Que from Aunt Zhao's place came to Yihong Courtyard and walked directly to Baoyu.The name of this girl is very interesting, Xiao Que, the magpie's magpie, is supposed to report good news, but she reported bad news, it seems that she should be called Xiao Crow—the crow's crow—right.what did she say?Said Baoyu, you have to be careful. I heard Aunt Zhao say something in the master's ear. Be careful what the master will ask you tomorrow.Baoyu heard the master, just like Sun Houzi was chanted by the Tang monk, he was restless, and he hugged the Buddha's feet to read the book all night.Because the master asked him, it was nothing more than asking how you read the sage books?How is your eight-legged writing practice going?Baoyu drove all night to make money, and all the girls had to cook together.Qingwen was very active, yelling at the little girls.A little girl who accompanied her on duty was sleepy. When she was dozing off, her head hit the board wall. She thought Qingwen had hit her, and cried and begged, "My dear sister, I won't dare again." Suddenly, a girl appeared The situation is that Fang Guan went out to make conveniences, and when she came back, she said, oops!I thought a figure jumped off the wall.Qingwen wanted to save Baoyu wholeheartedly. When she heard this movement, she felt that it constituted a reason, so she immediately asked Baoyu to pretend to be sick, and made a noise about it: someone jumped over the wall, it's okay!Baoyu was frightened and fell ill.In this way, the next day, whether it is the master or the emperor, who will ask him about his homework!Qingwen took the lead.The night watchmen searched everywhere, but there was no trace of jumping over the wall, and they couldn't find the person who jumped over the wall, saying that there was no such thing.What did Qingwen say at that time?Qingwen felt that she was on the same side as Mrs. Wang, which meant that she saw it. Not only Fangguan saw it, but Baoyu and I saw it. Taking the requiem, according to your opinion, is it all right?In fact, when the trouble got to a certain level, the brakes were stopped in time, and the next day he said it was a false alarm. Baoyu was indeed frightened and fell ill, so Jia Zheng would not ask Baoyu about his homework.But due to Qingwen's personality, she insisted on making this matter a big deal.Sure enough, it got bigger and bigger.By the next day, Mother Jia also knew about it, so she called an emergency family meeting temporarily.Mother Jia usually doesn't ask about the affairs of the mansion. She has been retired for many years and only enjoys the blessings. This time, she personally presides over the "Imperial Meeting" and determined the basic policy of strict investigation and punishment.In the end, the person who jumped the wall was not found, but the nightly gambling in the mansion was found out, and the gambler was found out. Once the gambler was found out, it would have too much influence. One is a relative of the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao's family. You Can the butler be happy?Another one was found to be Jia Yingchun's nanny. This matter made her ashamed. Although Jia Yingchun was very cowardly, she could bear it if she could, but she was Mrs. Xing's daughter. Can Mrs. Xing bear it?Your second room actually found out that our eldest room is here!The other one is the sister of Liu's family, the chef of the inner kitchen. The sister-in-law Liu in the inner kitchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the inner kitchen is a very important institution, providing meals for the young masters and ladies in the Grand View Garden, including Li Wan.Therefore, the entire mansion was thrown into chaos, and the conflicts among various interest groups intensified.It just so happened that a silly elder sister in Jia's mother's room picked up an embroidered spring pouch on a rock in the Grand View Garden and handed it to Mrs. Xing. As if she had found a treasure, Mrs. Xing quickly sealed it up and handed it to Mrs. Wang—what does it mean to seal it up and hand it over to Mrs. Wang? Where is Mrs. Wang?Did someone say a letter was written?Don't write a letter, just say what you say.Think about it, everyone, how does Mrs. Wang feel when she sees it?It means Mrs. Xing told you, who is Jia Mu's eldest son?Jia amnesty.Who is the eldest daughter-in-law?myself.Who should live in Rongxi Hall?Who should manage the Rongguo Mansion?Our big room.We were excluded, and we were handed over to your second room.Jia Zheng is busy with his official duties all day long. Isn't it your wife who is in charge of the entire Rongguo Mansion?right?So look now, how are you managing this mansion?In broad daylight, there are such obscene objects on the rocks of the Grand View Garden attached to your Rongguo Mansion!Mrs. Wang couldn't help it on her face and heart, so when the situation developed, she would search the Grand View Garden. Qingwen never imagined that she emphasized that someone who jumps over the wall must be strictly investigated. After the investigation to the end, a butterfly flapped its wings and caused a super storm. She tasted the first bitter fruit of plagiarizing the Grand View Garden. There, she yelled "get out, get out" without any thought, and after raiding the Grand View Garden in the end, she was the first to be kicked out.Just as Baoyu said, she was sent to a pigsty like a pot of orchids that had just been taken out of tender arrows. Her sister-in-law even sexually harassed Baoyu who went to visit her, and she died in the house of her uncle and brother. On the cold kang, and this distant brother and sister-in-law, who had been favored by her, hurriedly went to collect the money for burial and cremated her as soon as she died.It was miserable!Look at this Qingwen, such a smart, beautiful, and kind-hearted person, she did lift a rock and shoot herself in the foot.The red fan friends and I who were discussing together couldn't help but let out a long sigh.She said Cao Xueqin was really ruthless in writing.I said that only this kind of writing style can make us readers feel cool and refreshed, and understand what is society, what is morals, what is life, and what is human nature.It is beyond words.So Qingwen is a character who can't be enough to talk about her more than a dozen times.Due to time constraints, I only emphasize these.When Cao Xueqin set up the "Jinling Twelve Beauties and Second Book", she was listed first among all the maids, which made sense.Although her origin is the humblest, her stories are the richest and most touching; what she can trigger our thoughts is the most abundant and can reach the deepest. The second place in the supplementary book is Xiren.I have said a lot about Xiren before, so I won’t repeat it here. Who is the third?The third place I think should be mandarin duck.When it comes to mandarin ducks, some people immediately think of mandarin ducks resisting marriage. Of course, it is one of the most exciting parts in the book.Some red fans will ask, since Yuanyang is a slave of the world, Jia She just wants to take her directly, why bother to instigate, let Mrs. Xing mobilize in private, bring out Yuanyang's brother and sister-in-law to persuade, and even want Yuanyang's parents to pay for it?This is because Yuanyang is the number one girl by his mother's side. He knows that Jia's mother can't give up on Yuanyang. He hopes that after persuading and forcing Yuanyang to express his stance against Jiamu's will, if Yuanyang expresses his willingness, it will be difficult for Jia's mother to stay .It was a patriarchal society that carried "filial piety" to the sky. Jia She had to respect Jia Mu's will at least on the surface, so in the end the mandarin ducks' resistance to marriage was won, and Jia She had to spend money to buy another Yanhong to vent her desire. .Once Jia's mother died, the mandarin ducks had no protection, and it was not unfilial for Jia She to occupy her. Therefore, Jia She declared that the mandarin ducks would not be able to get out of his grasp sooner or later.Yuanyang himself is well aware of this.In the society of that era, if Yuanyang declared that she would become a monk after Jia's mother died and would never marry, from a legal and moral point of view, Jia Amnesty would not be able to force her to marry her. The aristocratic lord is indifferent to law and morality, and she is afraid that she will still fall into the clutches of the devil in the end.When Jia's mother died, the mandarin ducks followed. This is the inevitable result.In Chapter 80 of Cao Xueqin's complete book, after the death of Jia's mother, it will be written that when Jia Amnesty forced the marriage, Yuanyang took out the scissors, cut her throat and killed herself.She is not loyal to Jia Mu - in Gao E's writing, "Mandarin ducks and women die for the master and ascend to Taixu", it is completely a "loyal slave" image - she is to defend her own dignity, she will never succumb to perverts Jia amnesty.What supports the hearts of mandarin ducks is definitely not the feudal morality of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and righteousness. This has been clearly shown in the first eighty chapters. In Chapter 71, it was written that Yuanyang finished his work in the Grand View Garden one day and planned to go out and go back to Jiamu's side. It was already dark, so she wanted to go to a secluded place for convenience, and accidentally found Siqi and her husband. Cousin Pan You'an had a tryst in the Grand View Garden, and it was clear that there was something wrong.This kind of behavior is not trivial in that kind of society, not to mention the master, even some girls, if they find out or just hear about it, they will feel that playing chess is extremely shameless.But there is one line in the book that is very moving.Later, Yuanyang heard that a servant had left there for no reason, and that Siqi here was seriously ill-on the one hand, there might indeed be physical problems, and more importantly, heart problems.Whether Yuanyang casually reported to Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, or Wang Xifeng, Siqi faced Jin Chuan's end.Jin Chuan just teased Baoyu a little bit, Siqi really did something, and privately seduced outside men into the Grand View Garden. Girl, you can't stay sick in the lady's room. Although she and the lady don't live in the same space, they may be in another room, but for fear of infection, the housekeeper needs to move her out.At the moment of Siqi's most panic and despair, Yuanyang rushed to Siqi's side, pushed the others away, and swore: "I will tell one person, I will pay for my death immediately! Just rest assured and recuperate, don't waste your life in vain." Son!" Not to mention that in that era, today, some people would report on others who saw so-called adulterous affairs or premarital sex, and would not sympathize with them.And in that era, a woman like Yuanyang really had a humanistic mindset. In her eyes, the most important thing was the "little fate" of playing chess, not rules and moral concepts.Of course, she also advised a few words, meaning you should pay attention in the future.But her basic consciousness and emotions are that she can't let one of my sisters ruin her future because of this matter, and I have to protect her.What a noble spiritual realm this is.Mandarin ducks are well deserved to be in the third place. The fourth place, in my personal opinion, should be Xiaohong.The girls in Rongguo Mansion have different attitudes towards their own future.Xiaohong is the most rational among them, and the one who is most able to grasp her own future.She has a very low status in Yihong Courtyard, and she always suffers from anger. Qingwen also made things difficult for her, so she knew that it was impossible to win a position beside Baoyu, so she seized an opportunity to show off her eloquence , won the appreciation of Wang Xifeng, and successfully jumped from Yihongyuan to Wang Xifeng's side. She has climbed a high branch, but she is still calm, knowing that after a few years, she has to be arranged by the master to match the boy, even though her parents are The housekeeper in the Rongguo Mansion who is at the same level as Mr. and Mrs. Lai may not be suitable for a boy who is too bad, but she still decided to find a partner on her own.Of course, noble sons like Baoyu don’t have to fantasize about it. The other men in the Jia family are also good-looking, capable, and economically not very developed, but they have potential and can achieve a well-off life. Then I think If he wins, I dare to call him boldly.In the twenty-fourth chapter, Jia Yun went to the Rongguo Mansion again to seek an errand, and was talking to the servants in the outer study. Knowing that Jia Yun is a man from the same family outside Jia's mansion, there is a sentence in the book when this episode is written, "Xiao Hong knows that she is a man from the same family, so she doesn't avoid it like before, and stares at Jia Yun twice." Eye".I see that some people listening to the lecture below are learning this "lowering dead eye". How is it called "lowering dead eye"?Just stare at it very boldly, and you must leave a deep memory.Not to mention the past, some unmarried girls are still very shy when they see strangers, and she dare not take a close look at any man, let alone "dead eyes".Cao Xueqin vividly drew a kind Xiaohong through the three characters of "lower dead eyes"!The story of Xiaohong has already been told a lot in previous lectures, so I won’t repeat it here.In the second volume, I think she should be ranked fourth. The fifth place should be Jin Chuan. Everyone is familiar with her story, so I won't repeat it. The sixth place should be Zicuckoo. She turned out to be Yingge, the girl next to Jiamu. After Daiyu came, Jiamu assigned her to Daiyu. She and Daiyu later surpassed the relationship between master and servant and became friends. .The seventh place should be Yinger, Xue Baochai's girl. The eighth place should be the Musk Moon. I mentioned the Musk Moon earlier, so I won’t repeat it here. The ninth place should be Siqi. I have also mentioned the story of Siqi before, so I won’t repeat it here.I only want to point out one point, that is, Gao E wrote about the fate of the chess game. This part is roughly in line with the original intention of Cao Xueqin, and it is not outrageous. It should be such an ending.In Cao Xueqin's works, Siqi is also a very vivid character.First of all, her figure and appearance are different from other girls. She is tall and strong, and she is by no means a skinny beauty.Her posture was the most popular in the Tang Dynasty.How does she comb her hair to suit her figure?Comb hair is a hairstyle that lifts the hair high and keeps it fluffy.Chapter 27, there is a tiny detail in it, did you notice it?That is, Xiaohong gained Wang Xifeng's trust in the Grand View Garden. Wang Xifeng asked her to do a few things. After finishing, when she came back and wanted to report to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng was not in that position. Qi came out of the cave and stood with her skirt tied on. Xiaohong asked her if she saw Second Grandma, and Shi Qi replied, "No theory."Many people don’t pay attention to these few sentences, so what do you think they mean?There are many implications here.First of all, you can imagine that although the Grand View Garden is very magnificent and beautiful, there are no advanced sanitation facilities, and some people will find a hidden place for convenience. With the foreshadowing of the 27th chapter, the 71st chapter of mandarin ducks in the Grand View Garden In a hurry, it is convenient to find a place in a remote place. The plot of "a mandarin duck girl meets a mandarin duck by accident" is not abrupt at all, and it seems very reasonable.At the same time, the 27th chapter is a touch, so careful readers will realize when they read the 71st chapter that before Siqi led Pan Youan to the Grand View Garden, she had conducted a topographical survey long ago. The most hidden and the least likely to be discovered by others, she knows it well.Siqi is not as some people imagined, she is tall and thick-minded, but she is actually very narrow-minded.Siqi also made a big fuss in the kitchen, which was mentioned before, so I won't repeat it.This character is not a flat image, but a round, living image.The tenth place should be Jin Chuan's younger sister Yu Chuan.After Jin Chuan jumped into the well and Baoyu was beaten, she was sent to serve Baoyu. Baoyu drank lotus leaf soup, asked her to blow the soup, and let her taste it. When she passed the soup to Baoyu and Baoyu took it, the two did not look at each other. , all looking at the front, who is it?Fu Qiufang's family sent a mother-in-law to pay her respects to Baoyu.During the transfer, the two failed to cooperate well, so the soup spilled and burned Baoyu.Baoyu herself was burned, but she cared about Yuchuan and asked her if she was burned.Later, the mother-in-law of the Fu family spread the story, and Fu Qiufang must have heard about it, so she knew that Baoyu was really a person with special character.The forty-third chapter writes that Wang Xifeng threw a big banquet on his birthday, and Baoyu was absent from the beginning. Everyone was very puzzled, what's going on?Baoyu remembered that it was also Jin Chuan’s birthday that day. He quietly went to a nunnery to mourn Jin Chuan on the well platform. When he returned to the mansion, he lied to others and saw Yu Chuan sitting alone under the eaves and weeping—of course I was thinking of my sad sister Jin Chuan——Baoyu said to her, "Where do you think I went?" Yu Chuaner didn't answer, but just wiped her tears.These details are rich in meaning. The eleventh place should be Qianxue. I have said too much before, so I won't repeat it here. The twelfth place should be Liu Wu'er, the daughter of Mrs. Liu, the cook in the inner kitchen.The Liu family is also a slave in Jia's family. When a daughter is born, it should be reported to the housekeeper. Once they reach adulthood, the housekeeper should allocate the house.What is room allocation?That is, which master will you be assigned to serve, will you be assigned to Jiamu's room or Mrs. Wang's room?The worst thing you can do is go to Aunt Zhao's room, or Aunt Zhou's room to be a girl.But Liu Wu'er was sick, so she should have been on the job at the age of thirteen, and she was delayed until she was fifteen, and she hadn't been assigned a room or a post yet.When the story develops to around the 60th chapter, Liu Wu'er recovers from illness, and it's time to divide the room. Under such circumstances, Liu Wu'er and his family began to take active actions.If it is up to the housekeeper to distribute it, it may be distributed randomly to you. Would you like to be assigned to Aunt Zhao's room?Of course not.So where is the best place?Yihong Courtyard is the best.Yihong Court just happened to have a vacancy.Xiaohong used to be from Yihong Academy. She was promoted and went to Sister Feng's place. Isn't this a vacancy?Zhui'er was kicked out, and there was another vacancy.The Liu family has an insider in Yihong Courtyard, which is Fangguan.When Fangguan was an actor, he lived in Lixiangyuan, and the Liu family was working there at that time. The two sides were very close and established a friendly relationship.The theater troupe disbanded, and when Fang Guan arrived at Yihong Courtyard, he always whispered in Baoyu's ear how wonderful Liu Wuer was.宝玉动了心，就打算去要这个柳五儿。但是大观园那一时期里发生盗窃官司，柳五儿和她妈都卷进去了，她妈差点儿被革职，她差点儿被撵出去，事情当然就搁浅了，但是她们还会继续钻营。 关于柳五儿的故事里，有个细节很值得玩味。因为她没有归房，她虽然是大观园内厨房厨头的女儿，可以到她妈当差的厨房那块地方去玩儿，可是她不敢往里走，你没有身份，你是哪房的丫头啊？你没分房，走进去就是违规越矩。当然后来她为了把一包茯苓霜赠送给芳官，趁着傍晚，天色比较晦暗，柳遮花隐的，她偷去过里面，结果惹出大祸。开头她是不敢往里走的，因此她对大观园的印象是什么呢？书里面就说了，她说这后边一带——因为内厨房设在大观园的最后头，靠后门那个地方——也没什么意思，不过见些大石头大树和房子后墙，正经好景致也没看见。这是很深刻的一个描写。大观园里面那么多美景，但是你身份不到，你就不能够随便越雷池一步。你所看到的好像是布景的背后。有人到舞台表演的布景背后站着吓一跳，泡沫塑料、三合板、小竹竿加钢丝细麻绳支撑的一堆东西，可是前头灯光一打，从观众席上看去那么漂亮。任何事物背后，都会有一些支撑性的，并不体面的东西，柳五儿那时候所看到的，就是大观园的背面。仅就这一笔，就渗透出哲理的意蕴。 柳五儿在高鹗笔下，是还活着的一个丫头，而且还写了什么宝玉“侯芳魂五儿承错爱”。实际上曹雪芹的里面，在第七十七回，通过王夫人之口，就已经明确告诉读者，柳五儿“短命死了”，王夫人作为荣国府的第一夫人，她关于府里奴婢的生死情报肯定是准确的。现在流布得最广的人民文学出版社出版的，由红楼梦研究所校注的一百二十回通行本里，第七十七回也有王夫人宣布柳五儿死掉这句话，却和高鹗续的第一百零九回“侯芳魂五儿承错爱”并列一书，这样的版本缺陷，我个人觉得实在遗憾。《金陵十二钗又副册》里的这十二个丫头，其中金钏、晴雯、柳五儿，在前八十回里就夭折了。鸳鸯、司棋应该死在八十二回至九十回那个情节单元里。袭人离府、麝月暂留的情节也应是在八十二回至九十回那个情节单元里。紫鹃，还有雪雁、春纤，黛玉沉湖前，留下遗嘱和多年攒下的银子，恳求府里让她们离府自谋生路，得以在皇帝打击荣国府的时候，幸免于难，这也应是第八十二回至九十回里的事情。但是莺儿、麝月、玉钏最后的命运就非常惨痛了，在第一百回至一百零八回这最后的情节单元里，会交代她们随着贾府的陨灭，被卖到别的人家为奴。至于茜雪，她的早被撵出，倒成了焉知非福的事，贾府垮塌波及不到她，她反而在最后这个情节单元里，出现在狱神庙里，去慰问、救助宝玉。小红还会在第一百回至一百零八回中几次出现。 到这里，我把金陵十二钗《正册》《副册》《又副册》都扫描完了。问题跟着就来了：太虚幻境薄命司的橱柜里面，记载金陵地方重要女子命运的册子，究竟有多少册呢？是只有这三个册子呢，还是有更多的册子呢？那么现在我可以斩钉截铁地告诉你，起码还另外有两个册子，我的根据是什么？See you in the next lecture.
