Chapter 21 6. Crushed peach blossoms are all over the ground——You Sanjie

In Cheng Gaoben, that is, the pseudo-continuation version edited by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, all the Fengyue characters of You Sanjie have been deleted and cleaned up, and she has been portrayed as a pure and clean daughter, and because of this she has been praised by many readers. She is the number one chaste martyr in all ages. When I was young, I first watched this version (there was only this version at that time), and I also liked the character of Third Sister You very much. I thought she was as beautiful as a peach and plum, as cold as ice, and she was the most special one among the daughters of the Red Chamber.

Later, when I saw the Gengchen version, and saw those words that restored Sanjie You's original face, I felt very uncomfortable, so I deliberately ignored her infidelity.Later, when I grew up and realized the multiplicity and helplessness of human nature, I felt that Cao Xueqin had a deep meaning in portraying such a character. A fierce and unfaithful third sister You is actually more flesh and blood than the chaste and fierce girl You San. Anyone who has seen the Red Chamber will never forget the scene where Third Sister You played Zhen and Lian—— Third Sister You stood on the kang, pointed at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "You don't have to talk to me about my flamboyant horse. I'll see you eat the mixed noodles under the clear water. If you see a man playing with a shadow on the stage, at least don't pierce this layer of paper." Don't get fooled, forgive us for not knowing about your family's affairs. You spent a lot of bad money at this moment, and you two took our sister and my sister as fans to have fun, you just I made a wrong calculation. I also know that your wife is too difficult to deal with. Now she has abducted my sister to be the second wife. The stolen gong can't be beat. I also want to meet Grandma Feng to see how many heads he has. Just one hand. If everyone wants to make peace, let it go; if there is something that makes people difficult, I have the ability to take out your two bezoar and dog treasures first, and then fight with that shrew. I am not Grandma You Sangu! What are you afraid of drinking, let's drink!" As he said, he picked up the pot and poured a glass, drank half of the glass first, put his arms around Jia Lian's neck, and poured it, saying: "Your brother and I have already eaten, we Come kiss and kiss." Jia Lian was sober that he was sober.Jia Zhen doesn't expect to be as shameless and old as Third Sister You.The two brothers are used to playing in the court of love and moon, so they don't want to be stopped by this girl's words today.Third Sister You shouted again: "Bring me here, let's have fun together. The four of us have fun together. As the saying goes, 'Cheap is better than being in charge'. They are brothers, we are sisters, and we are not outsiders. Just come up." The second sister felt embarrassed.Jia Zhende is about to slip away, and Miss You is willing to let her go.At this time, Jia Zhen regretted it, and didn't expect him to be this kind of person, so she couldn't be frivolous with Jia Lian.

This third sister You had her hair loosely tied, her bright red coat was half covered, her green tube top was exposed, and there was a trace of preserved snow.Underneath are green trousers and red shoes, a pair of golden lotuses may be turned up or tied together, not half a moment of elegance.The two pendants seem to be playing on a swing. Under the light, it looks more like a green mist with willow eyebrows and a sandalwood mouth.It was originally a pair of autumn water eyes, but after drinking wine and adding lustful and lustful waves, it not only overwhelmed his second sister, but according to Zhenlian's comment, among the many women who have seen high and low, there is no such graceful and romantic woman.The two of them were so numb, they couldn't help but go to trick him, but his obscene style restrained the two of them.Third Sister Nayou used her hands and eyes to give it a try, but there was no difference between the two brothers at all, and she didn't even have a loud word out of her mouth, it was just the word wine and sex.He talked loudly, squandered freely for a while, and laughed at his brothers for fun, but it turned out that he really cheated on the man, not the man who raped him.At one point he was drunk, and he didn't allow his brother to sit any longer, so he kicked him out, closed the door, and fell asleep.

This paragraph of description completely breaks the slowness and implicitness of the previous article, how joyful and free and easy it is!And Third Sister You's flamboyant and unrestrained character, who is suddenly angry and happy, is completely highlighted, and her generous speech is even more powerful. However, when I think about it carefully, I feel a little stern, because although she doesn't admit that she is a fan, Jia Zhen came to visit privately before Jia Lian entered the door. The second sister You pulled her mother away, leaving only Jia Zhen and You San in the room, " Jia Zhen rubbed shoulders with the third sister, and became frivolous in every possible way. The little girls couldn't see it, so they all hid out, making fun of the two of them, and I don't know what to do." At this time, You San was happy .It was Jia Lian who broke the window paper and said that he wanted to have a drink with You San, but You San burst into a fit and wanted to take out his "two bezoars and dogs" and put his arms around Jia Lian's neck to force him Irrigation made Zhen and Lian very disappointed and at a loss.However, it is already a shame for her to be drunk and drunk all night with her two brother-in-laws at a girl's house. Although it is said to "laugh at his brothers for fun, it is true that he prostituted a man, not a man who prostituted him."—But who Whoever whoring is good, after all, it is not a ladylike behavior.

Later, Third Sister You chose Liu Xianglian herself, and decided to change her past mistakes. "In addition to serving my mother and sister every day, I just keep myself safe and live according to my share. Although I am alone at night and I am not used to loneliness, Nai has abandoned everyone with all her heart. I think that Liu Xianglian will come back early to finish her lifelong affairs." It can be seen that she was not used to "lonely quilt and pillow" before, and she was no longer a virgin. That's why Liu Xianglian later heard Baoyu say that You San was originally from the Ningguo Mansion, and she paused and said, "Except for those two stone lions, your East Mansion is clean, I'm afraid even the cats and dogs are not clean. If I don't do this, I will forget about it." .”

Faced with such accusations, Baoyu was speechless, and only said: "You know very well, but why are you asking me? Even I may not be clean." So Liu Xianglian divorced You San, and Miss You San "" Then I knew that he got the news in Jia's house, and naturally he thought that he was a shameless idiot and disdained to be his wife." There is no excuse, the only way to prove his will is to die. This is a very tragic and tragic scene in the Red Mansion. The artistic conception of "crushed peach blossoms are all over the ground, and the jade mountain is toppled no matter how hard it is to help" is absolutely beautiful.So far, Liu Xianglian knew that the third sister You was "so beautiful and strong, and I can't regret it." And because she dreamed that You San wielded a sword to say goodbye, she was alert and enlightened, so she cut her hair and left her home, and followed the Taoist priest not knowing where she went.

When I was a teenager, when I saw this passage, I felt infinitely wronged and cried loudly.And this is only the first dream of Third Sister You.Later, he reported the dream to Youer and said: "You and I have been promiscuous and depraved, and caused people to lose their morals, so we have this retribution...Although you have repented and rehabilitated, you have killed father, son, and brother. How can God allow you to live in peace.” Since it is said that "the obscenity does not lead to talents", it can be seen that the sisters of the You family were not virgins before choosing a husband.They live under the fence, in order to please Jia Zhen and his son to protect themselves, and because they are born romantic and beautiful, they have done many "depraved" actions.But although they are in the filth, they have always longed to go ashore one day and grab a floating weed to start a new life.

You Er's floating grass is Jia Lian, and You San's floating grass is Liu Xianglian.However, neither of them got what they wanted. The elder sister was killed by the jealous Feng Wang Xifeng, and the younger sister was mad at Liu Xianglian's refusal to marry. Neither of them got the chance to go ashore. You San's death was not due to rumors, but to his own history, and to "one misstep will cause eternal hatred", just like the evaluation of You Er in the book, "If you talk about gentleness and gentleness, everything must be discussed and discussed. Not daring to rely on her talents and self-discipline, she is actually ten times better than Sister Feng; in terms of beauty, words and deeds, she is five points better. Although she has changed her mind now, she has already lost her footing, and there is a word for "obscenity", which is of great benefit to him. Forget it.”—Although repenting and rehabilitating, after all, heaven will not allow it, isn’t this even more sad?

Such an ending is more tragic than describing the tragic death of two innocent and innocent girls.Because there is already Qingwen who was killed by rumors, there is really no need to add another third sister You who has the same fate. The little boy Xing'er said: "Our aunt's daughter is surnamed Lin, and her nickname is Daiyu. She has the same face and figure as the third aunt." It can be seen that the third sister You is also a shadow of Daiyu. Up to this point in the writing, I have used Er You and Xing Er's Q&A to talk about the marriage of Third Sister You and Bao Dai's marriage:

Suddenly, Miss You asked with a smile, "but what does Baoyu in your family do besides going to school?" Xing'er laughed and said, "Don't ask him, aunt, she may not believe it. He has grown up so big, alone He didn't go to a serious school. From the ancestors to the second master in our family, no one has been in poverty for ten years, but he doesn't like to study. The old lady's treasure, the master took care of it first, and now he doesn't dare to take care of it. The family is crazy all day long Yes, people don't understand what they say, and they don't know what they do. Everyone looks so handsome on the outside, but they are naturally smart in their hearts. Who knows that the outside is clear but the inside is turbid. When they meet people, they don't say a word. All the advantages, although he has never been to school, it is difficult for him to recognize a few words. He does not study Chinese or martial arts every day, and he is afraid of meeting people, and only likes to make trouble in the group of girls. Besides, he is not strong and soft, sometimes Seeing us, when he likes it, he doesn’t get up or down, and everyone is messy for a while; if he doesn’t like it, he goes away separately, and he ignores us. We sit and lie down, and he ignores him when we see him, and he doesn’t blame him. So no one is afraid As long as he does whatever he wants, he can get by." Third Sister You smiled and said, "Master is lenient, and you are like this; if you are strict, you complain again. You know it's difficult."

The second sister You said: "We think he is good, so it is like this. It's a pity that he has a good fetus." The third sister You said: "My sister believes his nonsense, and we don't meet each other. I’m only used to being inside. If you say confused, who are confused? My sister remembers that we were together when we were wearing filial piety. That day it was the monks who came in to wrap around the coffin. We all stood there, and he only stood in the head. He blocked people. People said he was impolite and had no winks. Afterwards, he did not tell us quietly: "My sister doesn't know, I am not without winks. I think the monks are dirty, and the smell may smell the sisters." Then he ate When my sister asked for tea again, the old woman took his bowl and poured it. He hurriedly said: "I ate the dirty ones, and I washed them again before bringing them." No matter what, the children are going to live, but they don't fit the way of outsiders, so they don't know." Second Sister You laughed and said, "According to you, the two of you are already in love with each other. I promised you Wouldn't it be nice to leave him?" The third sister saw that she was happy, so she couldn't speak, so she just lowered her head and ate melon seeds.Xing'er laughed and said: "In terms of appearance and behavior, they are a good couple. It's just that he already has it, but he hasn't shown it. In the future, Miss Lin will definitely decide. Because Miss Lin is sick, the two are still young , so it has not reached this point. In another three or two years, the old lady will speak up, and it will be absolutely accurate." Here borrowing You San's questioning, and Xing'er's mouth clearly mentioning Bao Dai's marriage, it can be seen that the relationship is very important.And the second sister You said that the third sister You "you two are already in love", and she also wrote about the affection between the third sister You and Baoyu. Although the third sister You praised Baoyu very much, she had no selfishness for her children. The person she identified as her favorite was Baoyu's close friend Liu Xianglian. However, it happened that this confidant Jia Baoyu said a wrong sentence in front of his lifelong friend Liu Xianglian, which ruined Third Sister You's wonderful marriage—— When Xianglian asked Jia Lian about marrying the second wife secretly, Baoyu said with a smile, "I heard Mingyan say it, but I didn't see it, and I didn't dare to care about it. I also heard Mingyan say that Lian's second brother really asked you, I don't know." What do you have to say?" Xianglian told Baoyu everything on the road, and Baoyu smiled and said, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy! It's rare that this handsome man is indeed a beautiful man from ancient to modern times, and he is worthy of you." Xianglian said: "If that's the case, he There are few people there, so why do you only think about me. Besides, I am not very close to him, and I don’t care about it. I am so busy on the road, so I have to decide again and again. Could it be that the woman’s family is catching up with the man’s family? I myself Bewildered, I regret that I shouldn't have left this sword to make a decision. So when I think of you later, I can ask you carefully." Baoyu said: "You are a delicate person, how can you be confused after making the ceremony? You It was said that there is only one beautiful woman, but now that I have one, why doubt it?" Xianglian said, "You don't know that he is married, so how do you know that he is beautiful?" Baoyu said: "He is the two aunts brought by sister-in-law Zhen's stepmother. I have been with them there for a month, why don't I know? What a beautiful couple, and his surname is You." After hearing this, Xianglian stumbled and said: " This is not a good thing, and it is absolutely impossible to do it. Except for those two stone lions, your East Mansion is clean, and I am afraid that even the cats and dogs are not clean. If I don’t do this, I will forget about it.” Baoyu blushed when he heard about it.Xianglian was ashamed of her slip of the tongue, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I should be talking nonsense. Tell me, anyway, how is his character?" Baoyu said with a smile, "You know it well, but you come to ask me what I do? Even I may not be clean." Xianglian He laughed and said, "It turned out that I forgot my feelings for a while, so don't worry too much." Baoyu said with a smile, "Why mention it again, it's intentional." If he is impetuous again, he might as well ask for the ceremony back.Having made up his mind, he came all the way to Jia Lian. Third Sister You and Liu Xianglian, one is Daiyu's projection, the other is Baoyu's close friend, they are a very happy marriage.However, there are many regrets in the world of "shooting one's own foot with a stone". Baoyu's death of the third sister is a proof. The mandarin duck sword cut off the mandarin couple, Nayousan and Xianglian, one died young, and the other became a monk. It was a tragedy after a long time. This also shows the love between Baoyu and Daiyu. As soon as you say something, it will never be inaccurate." But it happened to be the opposite, quite different. It is conceivable that the person who finally made Baodai's wish come true may be Jiamu, Yuanfei, Baochai or Fengjie, but the real culprit must be Baoyu herself, Baoyu's inadvertent inaction. Ruined the future and ruined Daiyu's life. Therefore, the death of Third Sister You was described as "crushing the peach blossoms and making the ground full of red, and the jade mountain can no longer be lifted", which also alluded to Daiyu's death. And after You San's death, the heroic spirit is not far away, and there is still a farewell scene with Liu Xianglian in a dream—— Xianglian didn't get up, and cried, "I didn't know she was such a strong and good wife, respectable, respectable." Xianglian helped the corpse and cried loudly.After buying the coffin, seeing the coffin being encoffined, I leaned over the coffin and cried a lot before leaving.Going out with nothing to do, drowsy and silent, thinking about the things just now.It turns out that Third Sister You is so beautiful and so staunch, I can't regret it.As I was walking, I saw Xue Pan's young man looking for his house, and Xianglian just went into a trance.The young servant took him to the new house, which was very tidy. Suddenly listening to Huan Pei jingling, the third sister You came in from the outside, holding a mandarin duck sword in one hand, and a book in the other, crying to Liu Xianglian: "I have been infatuated with you for five years, but I don't expect you to be cold-hearted , This concubine repays this infatuation with death. I am ordered by the police to go to the illusory realm to edit all the lovers in the case. I can't bear to say goodbye, so I came here for a while, and we will never see each other again." Walk.Xianglian was reluctant, and when she was about to come up and ask, the third sister Nayou said: "From the sky of love, go from the land of love. In the previous life, I was mistakenly deceived by love, but now I feel ashamed of love, and I have no interference with you." After finishing speaking, a gust of fragrant wind disappeared without a trace. Xianglian was vigilant, it seemed like a dream but not a dream, when she opened her eyes, there was a child from the Xue family, and it was not a new house, but a ruined temple, with a cross-legged Taoist priest sitting next to her to catch lice.Xianglian got up and asked Prime Minister Ji, "Where is this department? The name of the immortal master?" The Taoist laughed and said, "Even I don't know where this department is, and who I am, but I'm just here to rest for a while." Liu Xianglian listened , Unconsciously, it was as cold as ice penetrating into the bone, pulled out the heroic sword, wiped away all the troubles, and followed the Taoist priest, not knowing where to go. This is the first time that the third sister has entrusted a dream, and she clearly said "I am ordered by the police to go to the illusory realm to edit all the lovers in the case", which shows that she is not only a character in the Jinling Twelve Beauties, but also took the position. Afterwards, she entrusted her dream to Second Sister You and asked her to kill her jealous wife with a sword, "return to the police fantasy case together and let her deal with her." This is the second time to reveal her identity.This is similar to Qin Keqing's entrusting Mengfeng to Sister Feng. Although Na Keqing has never been to the Grand View Garden, but because she is the sister of Jing Huan and has a relationship with Baoyu in a dream, she is at the end of the Twelve Beauties, and is the first among the Twelve Beauties. And this third sister You couldn't enter the Grand View Garden, but she also had a confidant with Baoyu. She not only assumed an important role in the Boming Division, but also was the first person in the auxiliary book to die young. It can be seen that she should also live in the twelve beauties At the end of the sub-volume. And from You Sanmeng's farewell to Xianglian, we can know that when Lin Daiyu died of tears and her soul returned to Lihentian, there must have been a dream entrusting Baoyu to describe the previous love scene.It's a pity that we can't see each other. The passage in which Second Sister You met Jiamu for the first time is quite interesting: Just when Jia Mu was chatting and laughing with the sisters in the garden to relieve their boredom, she suddenly saw Sister Feng bringing in a beautiful little daughter-in-law. She looked at her hurriedly and said, "Whose child is this! It's so pitiful." The ancestors should take a closer look, okay?" As he said that, he hurriedly pulled the second sister and said, "This is the great mother-in-law, quickly kowtow." The second sister hurriedly saluted and bowed.He pointed to all the sisters and said, "This is so-and-so. You should recognize it first. My wife has seen it and said goodbye."After hearing this, the second sister asked again intentionally one by one, and stood beside her with her head bowed.Mother Jia looked up and down, and asked with a smile, "what's your surname? Are you in your teens this year?" Sister Feng laughed again and said, "don't ask the old ancestor, just say he's more handsome than me." Glasses, ordered Mandarin Duck Hu Po: "Pull that child over, I'll take a look at the skin." Everyone pursed their lips and smiled, so they had to push him up.Jia Mu looked at it carefully, and then ordered Amber: "Take out your hand and let me have a look." Yuanyang lifted her skirt again.After seeing it, Jia's mother took off her glasses and said with a smile, "he's a perfect kid. I think he's more handsome than you." ——"He is a complete child", this is the comment Jiamu gave to Second Sister You. How can such praise not make You Er worth a hundred times? Judging from the details of Jia's mother looking at the skin, holding out her hands, and lifting her skirts, in the old days, when evaluating the beauty of a woman, apart from her face and figure, she should also pay attention to fair skin and delicate hands and feet.And Second Sister You is undoubtedly beautiful in everything, a complete child, and even more handsome than Sister Feng. Where is Jun?In addition to the face, it is the feet. Because Sister Feng is full of people and has big feet, while Sister You has small feet, so it is called "Qiquan". In other words, why "mandarin ducks lifted their skirts again", so it is concluded that the second sister has small feet? There is a supporting evidence: when the third sister You molested the two brothers Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, "the big red coat was half covered and half opened, revealing a green tube top and a trace of dried snow. Underneath were green trousers and red shoes, and a pair of golden lotuses were either curled up or tied together." , not half a moment gentle." Here it is written "Golden Lotus", which means little feet.You San bound his feet, and You Er was no exception.So both sisters have small feet. In addition to the Youshi sisters, Qingwen, the leader of the sub-volume, also has small feet. It is clearly written in "Furong Daughter": "Behind the screen, the lotus petals are silent." "Lotus petals" should refer specifically, and when she sleeps Wearing red sleeping shoes, this is a unique prop for women with small feet, so they are also bound feet. These are the only two times when "lotus feet" are clearly written in the book, and Third Sister You and Qingwen are Lin Daiyu's substitutes. What's more, the mother-in-law said to the little girl, "This is the old lady's tea. You can scoop it out yourself, and you will have big feet there."-It can be seen that the girls in Yihongyuan have small feet, probably because Baoyu is good at this. So, is Lin Daiyu big feet or small feet? Thinking about it carefully, the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" should all have the feet of heaven: Yuan Chun is an imperial concubine, and of course she never had her feet bound, because the Qing court clearly stipulated that women with bound feet were not allowed to enter the palace; It should be a family tradition not to bind feet; Baochai came to Beijing to be elected, so she must have big feet, so she can flutter butterflies, otherwise a pair of three-inch golden lotus can't support a plump body running around; Xiangyun is good at men's clothing Sister Feng stepped on the threshold to pick her teeth when talking with others, and she also had big feet; Whether Li Wan and Qin Keqing had big feet or small feet, although it is uncertain, but according to the custom of "Manchus and Hans do not intermarry", they should probably have natural feet.Lin Daiyu is no exception, and in "Lu Xueguang Lian Scenery Poems", it is said that she is wearing "pink gold and dig cloud red fragrant sheepskin boots".Wearing boots is naturally big feet. Thinking of the fact that Sister Lin, who is "worrying about two dimples and suffering from a delicate disease", has a pair of big feet, I feel somewhat uncomfortable.It's not that I have a soft spot for Chinese women's small feet, but that the size of the feet is directly related to racial differences, which made me realize instantly: Lin Daiyu is full of people.Thinking that my dear Miss Lin is not a Han Chinese, I can't help but suddenly feel lost. Presumably, Cao Xueqin also considered this point, for fear of hurting the feelings of the majority of Han Chinese fans, so taking into account the aesthetics of the two cultures and two nationalities, she had to keep secret about women's feet, especially the feet of sister Lin, who was even more vague.In the whole book, Daiyu's boots appear only once, and they are small boots, and there are vague descriptions such as "acting like a weak willow supporting the wind" and "unexpectedly Daiyu has swayed in", at least in Emotionally, she is still a woman with small feet of the Han nationality—or it can be understood in this way, Lin Daiyu has a pair of natural small feet, not wrapped golden lotuses, which are natural and small, how perfect!
