Chapter 15 Chapter 14 Mystery from Chapter 100 to Chapter 108 (4)——Mystery of "Love List"

Some friends who are red fans think that there should be three volumes of "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling", and ask me what is the basis for saying that there are more than three volumes?It is well founded. In the ancient book, there is a comment by Ji Husou, who first said: "The twelve beauties quoted in the front are not sure." It means that when he first criticized the book, he guessed before he saw the back, "Jinling How many groups are there in Twelve Hairpins?Who are they?He tried to make a list, but it was always inaccurate.When he had sorted out all the manuscripts and saw the last one, he understood, so he told us very clearly in the comments: "At the end of the list of love, we will know the first, second, second, third and fourth vices."

Read this comment carefully, do the math, how many booklets does he mention?There are main volumes, supplementary volumes, and sub-volumes are sub-volumes. In addition to these three volumes, there are three sub-volumes and four sub-volumes. In total, there are at least five volumes, right?What is Fang Taboo?In the past, people's names could not be called indiscriminately, especially women's names, which should be taboo. Fang taboo, that is, women's names.Jihusou also marked the time behind this comment: Renwu Jichun.The Renwu he mentioned should be the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong, that is, 1762. At that time, Cao Xueqin should still be alive-because although there are disputes about the year of Cao Xueqin's death, the debate mainly focuses on whether he was on Renwu New Year's Eve or Guizhou. Didn't die on New Year's Eve?There is no dispute that he is still alive in Renwu Jichun - at that time, the critics had already seen the last chapter and "Love List", which once again showed that Cao Xueqin had finished writing the whole book, and in the last chapter of the whole book , and listed a "Love List", there are at least five volumes, namely the "main volume", "sub-volume", "second volume", "three volumes" and "four volumes". "Another Sub-Book" can be understood as "Second Sub-Book", so it will be easier for you to sort it out.Everyone knows this book, and it has many different titles. During the process of transcribing, editing, and writing comments, Zhiyanzhai has always advocated calling this book, but Cao Xueqin himself prefers to call this book " Jinling Twelve Beauties", this is clearly explained in the first episode.It can be seen that during the process of conceiving and writing this book, Cao Xueqin devoted himself to dividing every twelve young women in the book into groups, how many groups in total, who to receive in each group, and how to arrange their order. painstakingly.

Since there must be "Three Volumes of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling" and "Four Volumes of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling", let's discuss now, who is in these two volumes? Let us first discuss the "Three Sub-Books", which is the fourth booklet in the whole set.I think there will be some big girls around the lady in it.The ladies of Jia's mansion are ranked by age as Yuan, Ying, Tan, and Xi, which together form a homonym, which is "Original Sigh".The names of their big girls are also compatible. The last word in their names is exactly "qinqi, calligraphy and painting".It is written in the book that Yuanchun's eldest girl is called Baoqin, which shows that Yuanchun is good at playing the qin, and the qin she plays should be a traditional Chinese guqin.When Yuanchun entered the palace, he carried the piano with him.Yingchun can play chess, and it is written several times in the book that Yingchun plays Go, so her eldest girl is called Siqi.Tanchun is a calligrapher. The house she lives in has a big case, which is full of famous inkstones, a pen holder for holding pens, and the pens are inserted like a forest, and there are posts from ancient times to that era, so Her eldest girl is called Dai Shu—some people will say, no!The current book I read says Shishu, waiter's servant, let's skip it, how do you say it is a book?Among the ancient books, several kinds of ancient books are written as waiting books, why do I think they are waiting books?Because the one below, Fourth Miss Xichun can paint, and her big girl is called Ruhua, which means that I have already painted the thing that should be painted, so what does waiting for a book mean?That is to say, the white paper is laid out, and the beautiful calligraphy is waiting to be written on it. One "waiting" and one "entering" should correspond. "Into the painting" is strong, so I took the writing method of the book, and thought it was in line with Cao Xueqin's original intention.Of course, the four big maids of Siyan in the Jia Mansion should all be included in the book, because there are many stories about playing chess, which are very important, and they have already been included in "The Second Book", so the "Three Books" we are discussing now also It is the fourth booklet, of course there is no need to enter the chess game, but the other three of the four big girls must be included, that is, holding the piano, waiting for books, and entering the painting.They occupy the top three.After Jia Yuanchun died violently, Baoqin was ordered to commit suicide.Waiting for the book to marry Jia Tanchun.Entering the painting was sold as a slave to other people following the collapse of the Ningguo Mansion.

The fourth place should be Caixia, a girl from Mrs. Wang's house.Someone must argue with me, saying that it should be Caiyun, right?In the first eighty chapters, there was some confusion in the text. This character, which you thought should be Caiyun, was written as Caixia, and in one chapter, Caiyun and Caixia appeared at the same time.However, if you comb carefully, you will find that this is the burr in the text of Cao Xueqin in the process of writing the book, and he has not had time to remove it.Caiyun and Caixia should be the same character.Who is this girl good with?She is not good with Baoyu, she is good with Jia Huan.Around the 60th chapter, there was a theft lawsuit in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion, and Caixia played a lot of roles.She was later released by Mrs. Wang because of her age. Wang Xifeng's servants, Laiwang and his wife, wanted Caixia to marry their son, but Laiwang's son was ugly, a gangster who ate wine and gambled, and even the housekeeper who was in charge of arranging the marriage of slaves. Lin Zhixiao felt that allocating Caixia to Laiwang's son was a waste of a person, but Laiwang's daughter-in-law begged Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng insisted on arranging Caixia to Laiwang's son as his wife. can help implement it.Aunt Zhao always wanted Caixia to be Jia Huan's concubine, and she wanted an arm herself, so she begged Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng refused.It is also explained in the book that Caixia has a younger sister named Xiaoxia, so if Caiyun and Caixia are the same character, the final name should be Caixia.After the Rongguo Mansion was thoroughly raided, Caixia, her husband and in-laws were sold to different families as slaves.

The fifth place is Suyun, who is Li Wan's eldest girl.There is a detail in the book, when Youshi went to Daoxiang Village to rest, he washed his face first, and after washing his face, he needed to touch up his makeup. Suyun brought her dressing box and said that grandma would just use it, so she was criticized by Li Wan.Li Wan is a widow, absolutely not able to wear heavy makeup, even light makeup is a problem, Li Wan does not have the corresponding makeup tools, Li Wan criticized Suyun and said that although I don't have one, you should borrow it from other ladies , you girl, it's really rude to openly bring your own things for the master's grandma to use.In fact, Suyun is not being rude, Suyun is saying that he should serve his master as thoughtfully as possible.Because the emperor believed that Li Wan's youth and integrity were worthy of praise, he excluded her when attacking Rongguo Mansion. Li Wan and Jia Lan later moved out of Rongguo Mansion to buy houses and settle down. Ningrong and Ningrong suddenly collapsed the Lala building, and after Li Wanle passed away, with Jia Lan's miserliness and cunning, he would definitely not treat Suyun kindly. Her final fate is still in the poor family.

The sixth place should be Shi Xiangyun's girl, Cuilu.Shi Xiangyun's parents died when she was very young, and the two uncles and aunts took turns raising her, and they were not very kind to her, so she often came to her grandparents and mother Jia, who loved her very much, so she took one of her own. The girl dialed to serve her, and then followed her back to her uncle and aunt's house, and sometimes followed her to live in Rongguo Mansion again. This girl was Cuilu.Cui Ling has an important plot, that is, she and Xiang Yun discuss Yin and Yang in the Grand View Garden, and at the end of the discussion, they pick up a golden unicorn.When Shi Xiangyun married Wei Ruolan's family, Cuilu should have followed her, but later the four major families were all destroyed. Be sold unknown.

The seventh place should be Snow Goose.What is the history of snow geese?Is she an inherent girl in the Jia family?no.Snow geese deserve your attention.Think for her, how pitiful she is!When Daiyu was very young, because her mother died, Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai sent Daiyu to her grandmother outside the capital. Only two servants followed Daiyu to Beijing. She is old, and one is her Xueyan. The book says that when Jia's mother saw her, she felt very young and childish.She followed Lin Daiyu from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing and lived in Rongguo Mansion, and later lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Grand View Garden. She and the other girls in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion had no experience of growing up or getting along together.Her future is uncertain.If Lin Daiyu is healthy, for example, she finally gets married, or even married to Baoyu, then her future may be brighter, and she will settle down with Lin Daiyu.But after Daiyu died, she would become a problem.According to the rules of the game for rich families at that time, this girl was neither born and raised by our family, nor we bought it with money, but belonged to a relative. If the master she served died, she should be returned.It is written in the book that after Lin Ruhai died, the Lin family had no members belonging to Lin Daiyu's direct lineage.So if Daiyu died, the snow geese would not know where to retreat.Before Daiyu sank into the lake, Xueyan grew older and meditated late at night, and she felt that her future was very bleak.

In most cases in the book, she is just a shadow, only mentioned occasionally.But in the fifty-seventh chapter, "Hui Zicuckoo's Emotional Resignation and Busy Jade", the main content of this time is to write that Jia Baoyu heard Zijuan say that Lin Daiyu was going back to the south of the Yangtze River. The last climax of Dai's love story.But this time, Cao Xueqin interspersed a short paragraph of text, as if to focus the spotlight on the character of Xueyan, making her stand out in front of our eyes.Xueyan went to Mrs. Wang in the upper room to get ginseng for Lin Daiyu, and after taking the ginseng, she talked to other girls in the lower room. At this time, she saw Aunt Zhao beckoning to her.Aunt Zhao should live in a small courtyard on the side of the main house.Aunt Zhao is a tricky person, picking persimmons softly.What is she beckoning Xueyan to do?Isn't Aunt Zhao's brother dead?There are explanations in the front of the book.Aunt Zhao asked Mrs. Wang for leave, saying that she would go to her brother's house to participate in funeral activities and stay with her at night, which was approved.Aunt Zhao is going to take a girl, which girl to take?Take little auspicious children.To participate in funeral activities, one must wear a moon white satin jacket.Aunt Zhao told Xueyan, "Little Jixiang'er wants to borrow a moon-white satin jacket from you, will you lend it to her?"Xueyan reported the matter to Zijuan when she returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. She had a passage that sounded very plain, but it made one's nose sore when she savored it carefully.Xueyan said that they usually have two of this kind of moon white satin jacket, because they are afraid of getting dirty when they go to the funeral, so they actually asked her to borrow it, thinking that she would be a bully.Xueyan has a saying, which is very vulgar but very profound, and it is called "what benefits does he have for us in the past?"She came to Jia's house at a very young age, grew up slowly, and after experiencing many things, she understood how much you treat me and how much I should repay you. What good do you have for coming to me on a daily basis?You have not, therefore I cannot come and dedicate to you.Xueyan was childish when she entered the mansion, but by this time, after several years of experience, she has matured, she is very good at talking, how can she tell Aunt Zhao?She said, the hairpin rings of my clothes are all kept by the girl, and sister Zijuan will help me keep them. If I want to use these things, sister Zijuan has to tell the girl that the girl is sick, so it is agreed, and I can get them through Zijuan. Come on, won't this delay your business?Don't make a fuss, just ask someone else to borrow it, okay?In just a few lines of text, Cao Xueqin wrote about a little life with a different background from other girls in the house. She learned self-protection through hard life.Daiyu left her will and money before sinking into the lake, freeing Zijuan, Xueyan, Chunxian and other maids in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to leave the mansion to stand on their own. They were spared when the emperor attacked Ningrong's second mansion.But the life after that can only be a wife of a commoner, trudging silently in the journey of life.

Ranked eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh are Baoyu's girls Qiuwen, Bihen, Chunyan and Si'er.Qiuwen has two sides, she is quite fierce to some women and girls who are lower than her.Once she was walking with Baoyu in the Grand View Garden. Baoyu had to wash his hands after he finished his toilet. The weather was very cold and the water in the basin was cold. She saw a woman walking by with a hot water bottle, so she asked the woman for hot Water, the mother-in-law said that this water cannot be given to you, and the old lady is waiting to use it!She raised her voice, meaning you see who we are?The mother-in-law saw that it was the autumn pattern, and it was in Baoyu's room. Knowing that Jia's mother regarded Baoyu as a golden phoenix, she dared not disobey the autumn pattern, and poured water for Baoyu to wash her hands.And Qiu Wen also said, I dare to use all the water you gave the old lady to sit on—that is, the boiling water for making tea.But in front of powerful people, Qiuwen behaved very docile, very willing to give in.The maids of Yihong Courtyard were talking nonsense in the room, and several other maids talked about Xiren, saying that Mrs. Wang had given Xiren a special reward.However, these girls didn't know who they were attacking.Because Qiuwen was on leave for a period of time and was not in Yihong Courtyard, she asked who it was?Even if it is given to the dog, I don't care.The other girls just laughed and said, didn't they give the Western flower idea, Habaer?Qiuwen heard that it was Xiren who made a fuss for a long time, and Xiren just came out and heard it. Of course Xiren was very upset, so Qiuwen hurried over and apologized to Xiren humbly.

Bihen often waited on Baoyu to take a bath. The book revealed through other girls that sometimes after taking a bath for several hours, the bed and the mat would be soaked with water.In some ancient books, this girl's name is also written as Ariel. Chunyan is also called Xiaoyan. Jia Baoyu has a famous saying about women's three stages of change, which is relayed through Chunyan's mouth. Si'er's original name is Hui Xiang. She was thrown out by Mrs. Wang because she joked that "those who have the same birthday are husband and wife". Qiuwen, Bihen, and Chunyan should have all suffered the first wave of blows in Rongguo Mansion. King Zhongshun left Baoyu and Baochai when he ordered his master and sons to withdraw maids, and most of them were recruited by King Zhongshun to serve in his mansion. The last one in "Three Sub-Books" should be Xiao Luo, Xue Baoqin's girl.I have already told her stories in chapters 100 to 108.

"Four Sub-Volumes" is actually the fifth volume, which women should be in it?I think the members of this booklet should be very neat, they are the "Twelve Officials of the Red Chamber". When concubine Yuan visits relatives, there is a link, which is to let the theater troupe perform in order to increase the festive atmosphere.In order to set up a troupe, the Jia family sent Jia Qiang to Gusu to buy twelve girls.These girls either have not been named after they have been raised at home, or they have been given a name before, and they are bought and gathered in the Pear Fragrance Garden of Rongguo Mansion for intensive training. Teachers are sent to teach them how to act. The girls all took their stage names, with two characters in the stage name, and the last character is Guan, which is in line with the Liyuan style in the Qing Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, many opera actors had two-character stage names, and the last character was Guan, both male and female opera actors.In the book, there is a male actor Jiang Yuhan, whose stage name is Qiguan.Concubine Yuan finally came to visit her relatives. Twelve officials came on stage to perform. One by one, they sang to deceive the voice of cracking stones. They danced like demons. .After that, these little actors performed for the master and his guests in the house at any time.But later it was explained in the book that an old concubine was murdered in the court. The emperor in the book said that he wanted to govern the country with filial piety, so he held the funeral very grandly, and gave orders, from noble families, government families to ordinary people , all are not allowed to sing opera; and because Jia Yuanchun is unlikely to visit his relatives again, Rongguo Mansion disbanded the troupe.After the disbandment, the Jia Mansion expressed its kindness. Although it was bought with money back then, if anyone of you wants to go home now, I will give you money and let you go home; if you want to stay, you can share it in the Jia Mansion. Each room is a girl.As a result, how many officials were left in the twelve officials?Some said that if you send me back to my parents, they will sell me. Some said that you treated me well and I would like to stay here, so I left my eight senses.There are four officials who did not stay. Which four officials did not stay?There was one called Guan, and she died, so of course it didn't matter whether she stayed or not.What about another one?You can guess it right away, it is the senior officer.She matters.Do you remember Lingguan Huaqiang?At first, Baoyu saw Lingguan obsessively drawing rose characters on the ground with a hairpin across the rose flower stand, and was puzzled; later in Lixiangyuan, Baoyu witnessed the true love between Jia Qiang and Lingguan, and had an epiphany, that is, everyone enjoys The feelings you get have their own fate.The theater troupe of Rongguo Mansion disbanded, Jia Qiang took Ling Guan out, and the two became husband and wife.Some red fans would say that the theater troupe was disbanded and the senior official was not left behind. Although it was not clearly stated in the book, she was not mentioned when explaining the distribution of the remaining eight officials, which shows that she has indeed left Rongguo Mansion. But can you come up with evidence that Ling Guan did not act in the end and lived with Jia Qiang?The evidence is there.In the previous 30th chapter, the summary of the plot of Lingguan Huaqiang is not only in some ancient books, but also in some current editions.Let's call Lingguan Chunling instead of Lingguan.The second character is official, which is the symbol of an opera singer. The name was changed so that there is no official character, and it is called Chunling. It can be seen that it is not an opera singer, but an ordinary woman's name.However, regardless of the ancient version or the current version, in the first eighty chapters, it was not explained that Lingguan changed his name later.It can be seen that the change of Lingguan's name to Chunling was announced in the thirtieth chapter, and the specific explanation may not appear until the one hundred to one hundred and eighth episodes. Those who didn't stay were Baoguan and Yuguan.They also appeared in Chapter Thirty.When it rained, the maids of Yihong Courtyard closed the door and blocked the water holes of the gutter in the yard to allow the rainwater to accumulate. They took a lot of waterfowl, and some of the flying ones sewed their wings and put them in the water. Swim inside and play together.Among the girls who played together were Baoguan and Yuguan who went from Rikain.On the thirty-sixth time, Baoyu went to Lixiangyuan to find Lingguan to sing, and it was Baoguan and Yuguan who came forward to receive him.However, later on, we discovered that the two of them were not included in the list left for distribution.The combination of their names is exactly "Baoyu", just like the name of the only prostitute in the book that appears in the twenty-eighth chapter is named Yun'er. Whether the author has other deep meanings is worth exploring. Among the remaining eight officials, the one we are most impressed with is of course Fangguan, a character who steals the show later on.Fangguan's personality is very close to Qingwen's, self-willed and romantic. Qingwen's character has been portrayed vividly before, and later Fangguan was written into Yihong Courtyard, where she and Qingwen lived in a small space. These two characters rely on color, it is difficult to write their differences, and it may make people feel the same.But Cao Xueqin can write the difference between the two of them, making you believe that these are two different, lively lives.The pen in Cao Xueqin's hand is really amazing.In the sixty-third chapter, "Shouyi Hongqunfang held a night banquet", how many ladies and maids gathered in Yihong Courtyard, it was really beautiful. Which character did Cao Xueqin focus on?It was none other than Fang Guan.There is such a passage: "At that time, Fangguan was full of enthusiasm, and he was only wearing a small paddy field jacket with jade-colored, red, and green camel hair three-color satin, and a willow-green sweat scarf; The trouser legs are scattered; there is a small braid on the forehead, eyebrows and forehead, which ends at the top, and a thick and thin braid is tied behind the head; there is only a jade plug the size of a grain of rice in the right ear, and a jade plug the size of a grain of rice in the left ear. The top laner wears a ginkgo-sized hard red pendant inlaid with gold, which makes his face look like a full moon and whiter, and his eyes clear like autumn water." It left a very deep impression on us. I think the order of the twelve officials in the "Four Deputy Books" is as follows: the first should be Lingguan, the woman who later changed her name to Chunling.The second is Fangguan.The third was a civil official who later came to Jia Mu's place to be a girl. The book stated that she was the head of the twelve officials.The fourth place was the Ouguan who was later distributed to Daiyu. Who did the Ouguan burn paper money under the apricot tree in the Grand View Garden?Burn paper money for officials.Why burn paper money to officials?The two of them acted as a couple on stage, and in the end it turned out that she and Guan were a gay couple.When Cao Xueqin wrote "Apricots are yin and phoenixes weep and phoenixes are weeping and phoenixes", there was no sense of ridicule or criticism at all, but when Fang Guan told Baoyu the details, "The real love of Qian's screen window is stupid and rational", Baoyu did not dislike it, but just admired it.In that era, it was not easy for Cao Xueqin to be so tolerant of homosexuality.The fifth place is Ruiguan, which was assigned to Baochai.The sixth place is Kui Guan, who was assigned to Shi Xiangyun.The seventh place is Ai Guan, who was assigned to Tanchun.The eighth place was Dou Guan, who was assigned to Xue Baoqin.The ninth eggplant official was assigned to You Shi.The tenth treasure official.The eleventh jade official.The twelfth officer. As a group, the "Twelve Officials in the Red Chamber" generally have two characteristics.The first feature is that they are very romantic because of learning and acting.The second feature is that they are very united, much stronger than other girls in the Fuli Garden.Aunt Zhao ran to Yihong Courtyard to question Fangguan Xingshi. After hearing about it, Ouguan, Ruiguan, Kuiguan, and Douguan rushed in without delay. On the back, one hugged her left arm and the other hugged her right arm, crying loudly, saying that you beat us to death together!In fact, they were rubbing Aunt Zhao.Seeing their support, Fang Guan lay straight on the ground and wailed loudly, causing the Yihong Courtyard to become an uproar.Although Ai Guan didn't go, he reported on the mother-in-law who instigated Aunt Zhao to go to Yihong Courtyard to make trouble in front of Tanchun that day.They twisted into one rope to safeguard the interests of the group to which they belonged.It's really difficult for these little actors to become little girls, but they're also really cute. Their subsequent fate was not good.Lingguan married Jia Qiang, and they were very affectionate, but the Ningrong Second Mansion collapsed, and Jia Qiang could only live in a low-key manner even if she was not held accountable. She should have taken Chunling with her and fled Beijing to a distant place.After Fangguan was tricked into the nunnery, how could she be willing to be oppressed by the old nun? She should have escaped from the nunnery and wandered around the world;The whereabouts of Baoguan and Yuguan are unknown.The rest of the five sense organs who stayed in the Jia Mansion, with the destruction of the Jia Mansion and the four major families, could not escape the tragic fate of being beaten, killed, and sold. Speaking of this, let's do the math, five groups of twelve hairpins add up to sixty hairpins, and the scale is already quite impressive.So is this the end of the brochure of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling?Not yet.According to Mr. Zhou Ruchang's research, there are nine booklets of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, and the number of women accommodated is 108. The general law of the text is that it always has a 9×12 compatibility relationship.The sentence of Ji Husou quoted earlier: "At the end of the return list, you will know the principal, vice, and three or four vices." It can be understood that he is roughly speaking, just like there is a inkstone in front of the second chapter. The commentary of Zhai said: "Using the big essay of one hundred chapters, first write two big strokes of it to pretend to be false. It is a grand view." "Hundred chapters of great essay" is roughly speaking. Get rid of one hundred and eight chapters (if it is one hundred and twenty chapters, you can't omit the latter, because "twenty" cannot be considered as "fractions").Jihusou said "you know... Fang taboo", but it does not mean that there is a meaning of "waiting" in the "three or four copies" of the booklet.Therefore, the entire "Love List" should be 9×12, that is, nine groups of Jinling Twelve Beauties, and after the fifth group, there will be "Five Sub-Books", "Six Sub-Books", "Seven Sub-Books" and "Eight Sub-Books" , adding up to a total of nine booklets, a total of one hundred and eight hairpins. Of course, some people will say, isn't that a bit out of date?Because if you think about it, in the previous classic novel "Water Margin", there is a hero list at the back, which is one hundred and eight heroes.You Cao Xueqin wrote, and in the end you also made a list of 108 people, didn't you follow suit?I don't think so.This reflects two characteristics of Cao Xueqin's texts. The first characteristic is that Cao Xueqin is always good at absorbing nutrients from his previous works, our Chinese classical culture. The most obvious is that he directly introduces them into the book to express the spiritual nourishment of Bao and Dai. Match your heart. The list of one hundred and eight generals in "Water Margin" may be touching and inspiring to him, but what he is interested in may only be the numbers, not the substance.The second feature of Cao Xueqin's text is precisely reflected in his subversion of the connotation of the "Water Margin" hero list. The list of one hundred and eight generals in "Water Margin", if you think about it carefully, basically all of them are men, only a few women, and are these women feminine?Suspected male, right? "Water Margin" basically praises some men.Cao Xueqin wrote that he was unique. He set up a monument for the most repressed women under imperial power, theocracy, and clan power, especially young women, and listed them. What a bold innovation!Of course, in his last "Love List", there is a man in it, namely Jia Baoyu. Chai, first the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins", then the "Supplementary Volume", "The Second Volume", "The Third Volume", "The Fourth Volume", and then there are "Five Volumes", "Six Volumes", "Seven Volumes" "Book" and "Eight Sub-Books", add up to nine booklets, and record one hundred and eight women. There must be fans who are curious, saying that if Cao Xueqin really has such a "Love List", can you try to restore it?It is possible to give it a try. The following is a brief account of my personal opinion. "Five Sub-Volumes" is also the sixth volume, who is in it? The first one is the second girl.During the process of delivering Qin Keqing's funeral, Baoyu followed Wang Xifeng to a villa for a temporary rest. Baoyu saw the countryside for the first time, and met some village girls, including a second girl.Baoyu saw a spinning wheel on the kang of the farm house, and went to play with it not knowing what it was. The second girl came over and said that you don't know how to do it, so I will show you, and the second girl spun the thread for him.In the end, he followed Wang Xifeng to bid farewell to the farm, and was about to return to the funeral procession, so a strange stroke appeared—many readers and critics have always been insensitive to this passage, or found it shocking—"For a while After getting into the car and walking not far, I saw the second girl who was facing me, holding his little brother in her arms, talking and laughing with a few little girls. Baoyu wished to get out of the car and follow him. Eye to eye."A writer more than 200 years ago wrote about a nobleman who, after meeting a little girl from the countryside by chance, "wants to get out of the car and follow him"!Why do you write like this?What psychology does Cao Xueqin want to show about Baoyu?What do you want to show through Baoyu's mental activity at this moment?Now I won't analyze it, you can figure it out yourself.But I want to tell you that this is also a foreshadowing. At the end of the plot unit from chapters 100 to 108, the second girl will appear again.How did it appear?At the end of my lecture, when I sort out all the content of the last twenty-eight chapters, I will tell you. The second is my son.This is not 12,000 or 10,000, but a symbol. Can you draw this symbol? Try to draw it with your finger. I think someone made a mistake.If you draw a figure that rotates clockwise and put it sideways, it is a fascist symbol; this one should rotate counterclockwise. Son, this is a girl from Ningguo Mansion who is close to Baoyu's servant Mingyan.She will appear again in the plot unit from chapter 100 to chapter 108, and I will also talk about it in the next lecture. Down the row, the third is Ruizhu, and the fourth is Baozhu.This was when Qin Keqing mourned in the Tianxiang Tower, one fell to the pillar and died, the other expressed her willingness to be a righteous daughter, threw a basin for Qin Keqing, was willing to go to guard the spirit, and never return to Ningguo Mansion, two girls who behaved strangely.There is a lot of analysis in the previous lectures, so I won't repeat it here. The fifth place is Zhizhier, a nun from the Mantou Nunnery, Qin Zhong's lover. The sixth is the only prostitute who appears in the book, Yun'er.She appeared at the twenty-eighth banquet at Feng Ziying's house. The seventh is Qing'er, the granddaughter of Grandma Liu.The eighth place is Jiahui, a little girl in Baoyu's room. The ninth place is the girl embroidered orange of Yingchun.The tenth place is Tanchun's maid Cuimo.The eleventh place is Xichun's girl, Caiping.The twelfth place is Zhui'er who stole the shrimp beard bracelet. "Six Deputy Books", which is the seventh booklet, I personally think that there will be Amber in turn, which is Jiamu's girl; Chunxian, this is Daiyu's girl; Biyue, this is Li Wan's girl; Feng, Kailuan, and Wenhua are all Jia Zhen's concubines; and Dian'er, who should be the girl in Jia's mother's room, went to ask Baochai if you took my fan?Baochai "borrowed the fan machine with double knocks".At the bottom, there are some girls in Baoyu's room, some of them only appeared once, and they will not be written later, which seems very mysterious; Shi, Keren, Lianger. "Seven Deputy Volumes", the eighth volume, I think it will be included in order: Zhang Jinge, this is a woman who was indirectly killed by Wang Xifeng's power over Tiekan Temple.There is also a woman in red. Baoyu, accompanied by Mingyan, sneaked into Xiren's house during the festival and found Xiren's two aunts and sisters on the kang in Xiren's house. A woman in red, according to Zhi Yan It can be seen from Zhai's comment that this is a foreshadowing. After the eighty chapters, the woman in red will appear and play a role in the development of the plot.There is also Zhou Rui's daughter, Zhou Rui's family is very serious. During the reception of Grandma Liu, her daughter wobbled and said that my husband Leng Zixing had been set on fire and sued him When they returned home, Zhou Rui's family had a very strong tone, because at that time when Jia's family was at its most powerful, they said that the children's family hadn't experienced any major incidents, and they were in such a hurry!Later, after Zhou Rui's family reported other matters to Wang Xifeng, they mentioned this incident by the way, and Wang Xifeng immediately asked one of her servants to pass on a message, and the lawsuit was resolved.Then there is Jiao Xing, who turned out to be a girl from Zhen Shiyin's family, but was first picked up by Jia Yucun in the end. Later, Jia Yucun's original partner died, so he helped her up.In addition, there are Wang Xifeng's maid Feng'er, You's maid Yindie, and Yingchun's little girl Lian Hua'er--this Lian Hua'er has an important scene in the story. There was a collision first, and then Siqi took a group of girls to the kitchen to fight, smash and rob, and Lianhua'er was the vanguard.There are also Sister Cicada, the girl of Tanchun; Chaodouer, the girl of Youshi; There is Yan Hong, a woman bought with money by Jia She, who failed to force her to marry a mandarin duck. Some people will say that after you scan like this, you basically searched out all decent women, and most of the rest are not good-looking. Are they also eligible to be included in the list?Then I solemnly tell you that I personally think that they should also be included in the list.If you think about it carefully, the women I mentioned below are also victims of society. What they show themselves, such as evil human nature and bad qualities, are more caused by social and interpersonal factors. "Eight Deputy Books", the ninth booklet, which is the last booklet, I think some women you hate very much will be included, the first one is Xia Jingui; then her girl Baochan; Second Sister You, Qiutong and Sister Shan who caused the death of Second Sister You; Designed as the wife of Qingwen's uncle and brother; as well as Caixia's younger sister Xiaoxia; Xiaojixianger who asked Xueyan to borrow a white coat from the moon, Aunt Zhao's maid; Chunyan's younger sister Xiaojiuer; Xia Jingui's little girl Xiaosheer ; Xing Xiuyan's maid Zhuan'er; the last hairpin, the finale, is the silly elder sister who picked up the embroidered spring bag.You may feel that the last group is a bit grotesque, but combined with the previous ones, it constitutes the tragic image of one hundred and eight women of that era. Speaking of this, I think of a passage written in that article by Mr. Lu Xun, the sage of the last century. I think it is borrowed and dedicated to the 108 women in the nine volumes of "Jinling Twelve Beauties"-they Although the good and evil are different, and the personalities are different-it is very appropriate. Mr. Lu Xun said so—— “她们是可怜的人,不幸上了历史和数目的无意识的圈套,做了无主名的牺牲,可以开一个追悼大会。 “我们追悼了过去的人,还要发愿:要自己和别人都纯洁、聪明、勇猛、向上。要除去虚伪的脸谱,要除去世上害人害己的昏迷与强暴。 “我们追悼了过去的人,还要发愿:要除去于人生毫无意义的苦痛,要除去制造并赏玩别人苦痛的昏迷和强暴。 “我们还要发愿,要人类都受正当的幸福。” 随着我的讲述,荧屏上会飘过全部《情榜》的名单。你会注意到,单列的贾宝玉,除了称绛洞花王,还有考语“情不情”。这个考语和林黛玉的考语“情情”,是曹雪芹写出来,被脂砚斋在批语里加以引用的。我试着对头三册的其他人物,拟了考语,供您参考。《情榜》在整个讲座结束时还会呈现。 讲到这里,有的红迷朋友可能会提出一个很苛刻的要求了,说你探佚都探到这个份儿上了,最后连《情榜》你都给列出来了,那后二十八回的回目,能不能也探佚一下?从八十一回到一百零八回的回目是什么?每回大致内容是什么?能不能给捋一遍?好,咱们下一讲再聚在一起,来把我对后二十八回的回目之谜的探佚成果,竭诚地奉献给大家。
