Chapter 26 Who is in the Twelve Hairpins of the Red Chamber?

In the supplementary volume of Twelve Hairpins, only Qingwen and Xiren were identified. "Sunny is the shadow of Dai, and Xi is the deputy of the hairpin." These two people, one is a jade girl and the other is a golden lady, they are evenly matched and equally divided. And who will the other ten be?Who is the first-grade girl who can keep pace with Qingwen and Xiren? I thought the first one would be Pinger. When many red scholars tried to draw up the list of twelve beauties, because Xiangling was a concubine, Ping'er was also included in the sub-volume. This is actually a misunderstanding. It has been explained in the book that the subbook must be the master and daughter.so.The identity of the sub-book can only be confirmed, that is, the maids, including Ping'er, the eldest maid of Tongfang.

In the forty-sixth chapter "Embarrassing people are inevitably embarrassed, mandarin ducks and women swear to never marry mandarin ducks". Yue, Cuimo, Cuilu who went with Smith, Keren and Jin Chuan who died, Qianxue who went away, even you and me, these ten people, why don’t they say anything since childhood? What’s the matter? Don't do it?" There is a comment in the Gengchen version: "Based on this calculation, I am also twelve beauties. There are countless flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, leopard in the cloud, bird in the forest, and rat in the hole. People can be pointed at, traces can be traced, tangible evidence, twists and turns, distant effects and near shadows, blurred smoke, vertical and horizontal looming, strange and strange, dazzling and moving, presenting a thousand-handed and thousand-eyed game. "

This sentence, although it is not possible to define the above-mentioned twelve people as a secondary list, at least one thing is affirmed: that is, Ping'er can be compared with Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Yuanyang. Coincidentally, when writing about Liu Wu'er in the 60th chapter, there is another very interesting narrative: "It turns out that there is a daughter of the Liu family, who is only sixteen years old this year. Although she is the daughter of a cook, she has a character It is similar to Ping, Xi, Zi, and Yuan. Because he ranks fifth, he is called Wuer." Again, "Ping, Xi, Zi, and Yuan" are mentioned together.The 21st chapter of Zhiyanzhai also has a comment: "Unexpectedly, Ping'er has the status of attacking the Qing, it can be said that he has no talents, because he has a different ear." When evaluating Xiangling in the 48th chapter, It is also said that she "does not allow Xiang and Dai to be romantic, and Xi and Ping are not allowed to be virtuous". She also mentions Ping'er and Xiren side by side, and places Xiangling between "Xiang and Dai" and "Xi and Ping".

It can be seen that Ping'er, Zijuan and Yuanyang are indeed the same as Xiren and Qingwen, and can be selected into the second edition of the twelve beauties. In addition to being a servant girl, she also had to meet two other conditions for admission: she had a special relationship with Baoyu, and she had to have stayed in the Grand View Garden. After Baoyu and Baochai got married, there were only two important maids left by her side, namely Sheyue and Yinger.Therefore, these two people must also be on the list. And Jin Chuan, who died for Baoyu, and her younger sister Yu Chuan, are also an obvious pair of "Jin Yu" sisters.Although Yuchuan was cold to Baoyu, he had tasted the lotus leaf soup for himself, and this affection was almost like eating the rouge on the lips of a mandarin duck.

In this way, there are already nine of the twelve deputy hairpins.There are tens of hundreds of girls in the Red Chamber, and more than a dozen of them have flirted with Baoyu and scolded Baoyu, so who should the last three places belong to? After a little careful scrutiny, it can be found that most of the names of the nine girls mentioned above have been listed in the book. Among them, Ping'er was the most, taking up four times, namely: the twenty-first chapter "Qiao Pinger's soft words to save Jia Lian", the forty-fourth chapter "overjoyed Pinger's make-up", and the fifty-second chapter "Qiao Ping'er love hides the shrimp beard bracelet", the sixty-first chapter "Ping'er's right to be sentenced to prison for injustice".

Secondly, mandarin ducks occupy the second place, appearing three times: the 40th chapter "Golden Mandarin Duck Three Proclamation Teeth Order", the 46th chapter "Mandarin Duck Women Vow to Never Love Mandarin Ducks", the 71st chapter "Mandarin Duck Girls Unintentionally Encounter Mandarin Ducks" . Although Qingwen and Xiren are high in the rankings, their names only appeared once.Qingwen is in the fifty-second chapter "Yong Qingwen's disease makes up for the bird's golden fur", and Xiren is in the twenty-first chapter "Xian Xiren's Jiao Chen Zhen Baoyu".In addition, the 19th chapter of "Love and Good Night Flowers Interpretation" can be regarded as the secret appearance of the attacker; while the 31st chapter "Tearing the Fan to Make a Golden Smile" and the 77th chapter "Pretty Maid Holds Qu Yao's Merry" , it is Qingwen's dark out.

Furthermore, Zijuan's name only appeared once, that is, the fifty-seventh chapter of "Hui Zijuan's Love Test Mang Yu". In addition to the 32nd chapter "Jin Chuan died with shame and love", Jin Chuan was famous once, and the 43rd chapter "No Love, Temporary Picking Earth for Fragrance" can be regarded as a part of her story. Yu Yun; Yu Chuan appeared at the same time as Yinger in the thirty-fifth chapter "Bai Yuchuan Tastes the Lotus Leaf Soup and the Golden Oriole Ties Plum Blossoms". Musk Moon's name won't appear in the first 80 chapters in the future, but when she took her name, she clearly stated that she "has bloomed in the twilight flower", so she is destined to be included in the book, maybe she will become famous in the next chapter.

According to this line of thought, we have another important clue to find the candidate for the second book, that is: the girl whose name appeared in the review. Who else is there besides the above-mentioned people? After searching and searching, it turns out that only Lingguan is the only one, that is, "Lingguan's Painting of Roses and Outsiders" in the 30th chapter.Her identity is an actor, Jia Qiang's lover, which obviously adds a lot of drama to her, making her the head of the twelve officials.More importantly, Sister Feng said in the book: "This child looks like a person, you can't tell it anymore." Xiangyun clearly pointed out: "It looks like Sister Lin."

This sentence alone is enough to advance the rank officer.What's more, she is also the heroine of Baoyu's "Awareness of Lixiangyuan", so she can be included in the secondary volume. Now that Ling Guan, the Jade Sect candidate, has been determined, it is time to find a matching Jin Sect daughter for her among the twelve officials.In the fifty-eighth chapter "Xingzi's Yin and Fake Phoenix Weeps and the Phoenix" and the seventy-seventh chapter "The Beautiful Actress Cuts Love and Returns to the Water Moon", Fangguan, Ouguan and Ruiguan are secretly shown twice.Among these three people, although Fangguan is only a little girl next to Qing and Xi, she once shared the bed with Baoyu, and was renamed "Jinxing Glass" by Baoyu himself, confirming her identity as the daughter of the Jin School.

Therefore, it can be concluded that it is Fangguan who makes a pair with Lingguan. Apart from this, in the 80 existing recollections, there is no clear name of any girl. As for the secret appearance, there are the twenty-fourth chapter "The Idiot Daughter Left Parre Lovesickness", and the twenty-sixth chapter "The Bee's Waist Bridge Sets Words to Pass the Heart", although they are not explicitly written, they all tell the story of Xiaohong. Xiaohong's original name is Lin Hongyu, which is one letter difference from Daiyu, and she is also a figure with a clear-cut "Jade School". "Delicate and clean in birth" and "simple and pretty in speech", won the appreciation of Sister Feng.Although she and Baoyu had only one official meeting in the first eighty chapters, there is an important plot of "exploring Baoyu in the Temple of the Prison God" in the lost later text, which can be selected as well.

It can be seen from this that Lin Hongyu is the last suspense in the second book of Twelve Hairpins. In this way, the twelve names have all been revealed.Will there be any omissions?It needs to be corrected by Gao Ming.
