Chapter 36 10. Stepping on the Heavenly Gate and Sweeping the Fallen Flowers - Fang Guan

There are four springs in the main volume of "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling", two You in the supplementary volume, and two officials in the supplementary volume - Lingguan and Fangguan. It is said that there were twelve officials in the Central Plains, but why only two officials can be included in the sub-register? That is to say, in terms of roles, although civil servants, Ai officials, treasure officials, jade officials, sunflower officials, eggplant officials, and bean officials have very few roles, and the drug officials died early and can be omitted; He is the person who performed "Xing Zi Yin False Phoenix Weeps Virtual Phoenix" with Fang Guan, and is the maidservant of Bao, Dai, and Chai respectively. He has a lot of meaning and equal status, so he should be qualified to bid for the second register of Twelve Chai .

Especially when the lotus official burns the paper, Baoyu also covers for her, which has triggered a theory of "rejoicing the new but not forgetting the old", which seems to meet the requirement of "registering with Brother Shi".Why can't I enter the secondary volume?The name of the review is well said, "Fake Phoenix and Xuhuang", the appearance of Ouguan and Ruiguan is just a feint, just as a foil, this time it is Fangguan who really plays the leading role.The love triangle between Ouguan, Ruiguan and Yaoguan (also known as the official of medicine) was originally relayed by Fangguan; and Baoyu's discussion was also directed at Fangguan.So this paragraph is purely for Fang Guan's outstanding ears.

This description is full of twists and turns, which can whet the reader's appetite.First, Baoyu said that when she saw the lotus official burning paper, she asked her who she was offering sacrifices to, but the lotus official didn't answer, and later accepted his protection. Just go back and ask Fangguan quietly." Then write that Baoyu went to Xiaoxiang Hall to visit Daiyu and came back, "Because I was worried about asking Fangguan what happened, Xiangyun Xiangling came and was joking with Xiren Fangguan. It's not easy to call him, I'm afraid people will cross-examine me again, so I have to be patient." Then Fangguan went to wash his hair again, and quarreled with his godmother, which caused a moderate disturbance, and borrowed the help of the musk moon. He described it with his mouth: "Turn a Miss Yingying into a tortured matchmaker!" Finally, the matter subsided, and there was another aftermath of "blowing soup", until Baoyu had eaten, washed, and attacked others. When I went out to eat, "Baoyu gave Fangguan a wink. Fangguan is clever by himself, and he has studied opera for a few years. Why don't you know? He pretended that he had a headache and stopped eating." Only Baoyu and Fangguan were left in the room. After solemnly asking Ou Guan about the root of burning paper, Fang Guan also spoke eloquently.

And as the stories of Ouguan, Ruiguan, and Biguan got to the bottom of their roots, Fangguan's image became more and more vivid and clear.Therefore, although the scene of this scene is related to lotus root and pistil, the main purpose is Fangguan.Whether it's Miss Yingying or the torture of the matchmaker, Hua Fangguan is the real protagonist who plays the leading role. This is only Fang Guan's first serious play.Later, she became Baoyu's favorite little girl, and she had quite a lot of scenes, but the most important scene happened at Baoyu's birthday banquet.That day before the banquet, she had already dressed up for the stage——

Baoyu was only wearing a small red cotton gauze jacket, green silk elastic ink trousers underneath, with loose trouser legs, leaning on a new jade-colored gauze pillow filled with rose and peony petals, and Fang Guan punched first.At that time, Fangguan was full of heat, and he was only wearing a small paddy field jacket with jade-colored, red, and green velvet three-color satin, and a willow-green sweat towel around it.There is a small braid on the eyebrows and forehead on the head, which ends at the top, and a thin braid the thickness of a goose egg is tied behind the head.There is only a small jade plug the size of a grain of rice in his right ear, and a large hard red pendant inlaid with gold the size of a ginkgo fruit on his left ear. His face looks as white as a full moon, and his eyes are as clear as autumn water.The crowd laughed and said, "The two of them seem to be twin brothers." Xiren poured the wine one by one and said, "Wait a while before punching. Although there is no seat, everyone eats in their hands." Let's just take one bite." So Xiren took a bite on his lips first, and the others went down one by one, eating one by one, and everyone sat down together.

Here, how capricious and indulgent Fangguan is, she is just a second- and third-class little girl, but she punches on an equal footing with Baoyu, and the attacker waits for her below.Everyone was unintentional, and only laughed and said, "The two of them seem to be twin brothers." Xiren had intentions.However, Fangguan is still ignorant and blindly greedy for alcohol.Even Xiren took Hua's name and said, "People with the same surname will accompany you for a drink", she quickly said "My surname is also Hua", and drank a glass of wine.At that time, Xiren probably felt a little angry that Fang Guan was like Ah Q, and wanted to curse: "You also deserve the surname Hua?"

However, Xiren has the power of the city, and she still forbears her anger, but after drinking and drinking, she took the opportunity to frame Fangguan viciously once—— It was four o'clock that day, and the old nuns were eating openly, while secretly, the wine jar was exhausted, and everyone listened to Nahan before cleaning up and going to bed.Fang Guan's cheeks are like rouge, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of charm. He can't figure out his body, so he sleeps on Xi Ren, "My good sister, my heart is beating very fast." "Xiaoyan's four children can't figure it out, so they went to bed early.Qingwen just barks.Baoyu said, "Don't cry, let's just have a rest." He lay on the red incense pillow, tilted his body, and fell asleep.Seeing that Fangguan was very drunk, Xiren was afraid that he would spit on the wine, so he got up lightly, supported Fangguan by Baoyu's side, and let him fall asleep.But he fell down on the opposite couch.

Everyone felt dark and sweet, not knowing what to do.At dawn, Xiren opened his eyes and saw the sky was bright, so he hurriedly said, "It's too late." Looking at the opposite bed, he saw Fangguan's head resting on the edge of the kang, still asleep, so he got up quickly Call him.Baoyu had turned over and woke up, and said with a smile, "It's too late!" Because he pushed Fangguan to get up again.That Fangguan sat up, rubbing his eyes in a daze.The attacker laughed and said, "Don't be shy. You're drunk. Why don't you pick a place and get down here?" "I don't know how I eat." Baoyu laughed and said, "I don't even know. If I know, I'll put some black ink on your face." Saying this, the girl came in to take care of her grooming.

In this paragraph, the author used a line drawing technique, and on the surface, he covered up the fact that "seeing that Fang Guan is very drunk, I am afraid he will spit on wine", which seemed to be completely sincere; however, when he got up the next day, he said in front of everyone: " Don't be shy, you're drunk, so you didn't choose a place to sit down." It seemed like I was afraid that everyone would not pay attention. Xiren is used to dealing with people, and he understands the truth of fanning flames and killing people with a knife: the little girl Fangguan actually slept with Baoyu, such a strange thing, if she didn't say it herself, someone would spread it as news, and I'm afraid Won't the higher-ups avenge her in the future?

Next, the author wrote a "name change" drama in full force, which once again highlighted Baoyu's emphasis on Fangguan: (Baoyu) Seeing Fangguan combing his hair again, he rolled it up and brought some flowers and emeralds, and hurriedly ordered him to change his makeup, and ordered him to shave off the short hair around him, revealing a green scalp with a big top in the middle. He also said: "In winter, I will be a big mink lying on a rabbit's belt. I wear small tiger-headed cloud-colored combat boots on my feet, or loose trouser legs. I only use clean socks and thick-soled shoes." He also said: "Fangguan's name is not good. , It’s unique to change the male name.” Because it was changed to “Xiong Slave”.Fangguan was very satisfied, and said: "In that case, take me out when you go out. If someone asks, just say that I am a servant like Mingyan." Baoyu laughed and said, "After all, people can see it." Fangguan He said with a smile, "I said you have no talent. There are several natives in our family, and you just say that I am a small native. Besides, everyone says that I look good in couplets. Do you think this is a good idea?" Baoyu Hearing this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This is very good. I also see that many officials follow foreign countries to offer captives, thinking that they are not afraid of wind and frost, and the pommel horse is convenient. Since this is the case, let's give it another name. It is called 'Yelü Xiongnu'. The second pronunciation of 'Xiongnu' is similar to that of the Xiongnu. They are both the names of dogs and soldiers. Moreover, these two kinds of people have been the troubles of China since the time of Yao and Shun, and the Jin and Tang dynasties suffered greatly from it. Fortunately, we are blessed to be born in today's world. The righteous descendants of Shun, the benevolence and filial piety of Shengyu, the Hehegetian, the heaven, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the billions of trillions are immortal. Therefore, all the clowns who jumped beams and jumped in the dynasties did not have to do it now. With one blow, all the angels bowed their hands and descended from afar. We should humiliate them and show love to your father..." Everyone also learned to call this name, and they called it wrong, or forgot the word, and even called it When the "wild donkey" came out, everyone in Heyuan who attracted it laughed and fell down when they heard it.Seeing that everyone was making fun of him, Baoyu was afraid of offending him, so he hurriedly said, "Francis Ya, Haixi, heard that there is a gemstone of Venus glass. In his native language, the Venus glass is called 'Wendurina'. Now compare you to How about changing his name to 'Wendurina'?" Fang Guan was even more pleased when he heard this, and said, "That's it." So he called this name again.People thought it was a mouthful, so they still translated the Chinese name and called it "glass".

Because of this whim of Baoyu, Fangguan has been called many different names in various versions since then, sometimes it is Yeluxiongnu, sometimes it is Jinxing Glass, and most of them are still called Fangguan.Readers are dazzled.As soon as the name of "Jinxing Glass" came out, Fangguan was confirmed as the daughter of the "Golden School", and she was far away from the "Jade School" Lingguan who was Daiyu's substitute. Later, when Mrs. Wang pushed Fang Guan away, she asked: "Who is Yeluxiong Nu?" She also said, "The girl who sings is naturally a vixen! Last time I let you go, you are lazy to go out, but you should keep your own place." That’s right. You’ve got to be a master and play tricks, instigating Baoyu to do everything.” When Mrs. Wang asked Si'er, she asked "Who is the birthday of Baoyu and Baoyu?" tears".Mrs. Wang then ordered: "Call his family quickly and lead them out to match him." When Mrs. Wang reprimanded Fang Guan, Fang Fang was fearless and just argued with a smile: "I don't dare to instigate anything." The daughters of the Red Chamber are in pairs, and even when they are kicked out of the garden, misfortunes never come singly.For example, the chess player in the Yingchun room is the culprit, and the painter in the Xichun room is also tied up; the pair of four children is Wu'er, so Mrs. Wang concluded the whereabouts of Wu'er from Fang Guan after asking Si'er. , Said her: "You are still talking! Let me ask you, when we went to the imperial mausoleum the year before last, who instigated Baoyu to ask Liu's girl, Wu'er? Fortunately, that girl died short-lived, otherwise, if you come in, you will be ganged up again." This garden has been harmed by the party. You have bullied even your godmother. Not only others!" The so-called "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about"?It can be seen that Mrs. Wang knows all about the affairs in the house, and she is determined to vent her anger on behalf of the women and the attackers. However, when Fangguan left the garden, he did not "find a son-in-law outside" as Mrs. Wang had arranged, but clamored to become a monk.Just as her godmother said: "Like crazy, I don't eat tea, I don't need food, I seduce Shangouguan and Ruiguan, the three of them are looking for death and work, as long as they cut their hair and become a nun. I just treat it like a child. There are some people who are not used to going out, but it will be fine every two days. Who knows that the more troubles become more fierce, and they are not afraid of beating and scolding." No wonder Mrs. Wang was so calm and calm when she scolded Fang Guan. It turned out that she had already had the idea of ​​becoming a monk in her heart.No wonder Mrs. Wang asked them to bring them in and asked them face to face, "Seeing that they are all determined, I don't know if I can't force it, but I am sad and pitiful, so I hurriedly ordered someone to fetch some things to reward them, and gave away two sister-in-laws." Some gifts." It can be seen that I know that I have made a mistake. Fangguan's ending is exactly like her song "When Appreciating Flowers": "Cuifeng's feathers are tied with a broom fork, and she walks on the gate of heaven to sweep away the fallen flowers".I went to worship the Buddha and ask for immortality.And Ouguan and Ruiguan also played supporting roles again, and they became monks together with her, but it was "Fangguan followed Zhitong from Shuiyue Temple, and Ruiguan and Ouguan followed Yuanxin from Dizang Temple, and each went to become a monk." up".Why not make people sigh? Although Fangguan is only a second-class girl in Yihongyuan, she is related to the fate of Bao, Dai, Chai and Xiang, which can be described as an odd number. First of all, in Chapter 54 of "Shi Taijun Breaking the Outdated Rows and Wang Xifeng Acting in Colorful Spotted Clothes", Mother Jia once asked Fangguan to sing a song at the Lantern Festival banquet, which shows that she is playing Du Liniang, alluding to Daiyu's identity. However, in the sixty-third chapter of "Shouyi Hongqunfang Opens a Night Banquet", Baoyu celebrated her birthday, and Baochai took the name of the flower and got the peony flower, and ordered Fangguan to sing "When Appreciating Flowers".Baoyu "holds the lottery and recites 'Even if it is ruthless, it is touching' upside down in its mouth. After listening to this song, I see that Fangguan is silent."—Here, Fangguan and Baochai have double shadows again. What is amazing is that it was Baochai who first explained "Parasitic Grass" with Baoyu and inspired him to "understand the Zen machine"; After the night banquet, Fangguan was drunk and was helped by the attacker to lie down beside Baoyu, so he and Baoyu had the status of "same bed". Brother's registered number", although it is not as real as Xiren's skin-to-skin relationship, it is comparable to Qingwen and Baoyu's "bedding".However, after all, it is a "fake phoenix and virtual phoenix" who has "taken the false name in vain". All of these seem to be alluding to the marriage between Baochai and Baoyu, but it's just "the sky is facing the crystal snow of the nobleman in the mountains, and I will never forget the lonely forest in the fairyland outside the world", it's just a love affair. Before Baoyu and Fangguan fought fists, everyone laughed and said, "The two of them seem to be twin brothers", and Baoyu also disguised Fangguan as a man, and Fangguan ended up becoming a nun again, which seems to have secretly shot Baoyu Looking at the situation of becoming a monk in the future, Fangguan has become the female version of Baoyu again. Hong Qiufan even compared the previous episode "Shi Xiangyun Drunk Lying on Peony Grass" and "Shouyi Hongqunfang Opens a Night Banquet", pointing out that Fangguan is a projection of Xiangyun: "On the cover of Wen Xiangyun's drunken sleep, the brush and ink are deeply hidden. I am afraid that readers will not understand it, so a close-up of Fangguan is used to set it off. Xiangyun fisted first, and Fangguan also fisted first; Xiangyun was drunk, and Fangguan was also drunk "Xiangyun is drunk and sleeps, Fangguan is also drunk and sleeps; Xiangyun sleeps with stones, Fangguan sleeps with stones, stone is jade, and jade is stone. It is a special offense, so it can be seen that it is designed to set off the previous article. However, this reply is still written in Hunan. Yun, it’s not about Fang Guan, so the title is omitted.” In the above, one more sentence can be added: "Xiangyun disguises himself as a man, and Fangguan also disguises himself as a man".Xiangyun Zhan had to sign the flower name "I'm afraid that the flowers will fall asleep in the middle of the night", Daiyu joked, it is better to change "deep night" to "Liang Shi", which is to remind the judges to pay attention to "sleep stone", and Fang Guan claimed his surname Flower, it can be seen that this sentence is a pun between two people. From this point of view, it makes sense to say that Fang Guan is a projection of Xiangyun.However, based on this, Zhou Ruchang decided that Xiangyun and Baoyu would be husband and wife in the future, and they could share the same bed, which was taken out of context. Because if Fangguan is really Xiangyun's substitute, then her ending - becoming a nun - should also take care of Xiangyun's future.Xiangyun's judgment said that "after all, the Xiangjiang River will be dried up, and the clouds will disperse in Gaotang", which is a metaphor for the meaning of spring dreams becoming empty and everything illusory. In the previous article, it was said that Xiangyun already had a husband’s family, and there was a sentence in the chapter "Because of Qilin Fubai's first double star", all experts interpreted "double star" as the Cowherd and Vega, and believed that this chapter said that Xiangyun and Baoyu became married because of Qilin. couple.However, Zhipi said it well: "Golden jade marriage has been fixed, and a golden unicorn is written, which is the method of color. What is it that makes me feel? That's why we call it 'feeling'." I am not a frown, so why bother to be "confused by it" and forcibly compare the golden unicorn used for "interference" with "golden jade marriage"? It can be seen that Shi Xiangyun's star refers to something else. Zhipi also said: "The unicorn worn by Ruolan in Shepu in the next dozens of times is exactly this unicorn. The outline is in this chapter. The so-called 'grass snake gray line is thousands of miles away'." The answer was revealed. It turned out that the unicorn fell into Wei Ruolan's hands, so it can only be Shi Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan who "became the unicorn's double star."However, if this Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan can grow old together, then it will be considered a fate. Therefore, I guess the interpretation of "double star" is not the two stars of the cow girl, but the two stars of the merchant. "Shangshang" appears in the morning and at night respectively, which is a metaphor for never seeing each other.Cao Xueqin seems to like to use these two words very much in the book. For example, in the opening chapter of the fifth chapter, it says that Bao Dai and Bao Dai "walk together and sit together during the day, and rest together at night. It is really a good idea, and there is no business." In the fifteenth chapter, it said: "I don't want the population of the younger generations to be prosperous today, among them the rich and the poor, or their temperaments to participate in business." And Baoyu realized the Zen machine, and when he continued Zhuangzi, he also wrote: "If he persuades him, there is no reason to participate in business." Yu Yi, ruining his fairy appearance, has no heart for love, grays out his spirit, and has no love for talent and thinking."——It can be seen that the word "Shangshang" is always in the author's heart, but the two stars of "Niu Nu" never appear in the text It can be seen, so, why do people force the "two stars" to be a cow girl? "Bai Shou Twin Stars" may imply that although Xiang Yun is engaged, it may be Wei Ruolan, but due to changes in the world, the two separated, and they did not meet each other until Bai Tou.Xiangyun's life, although he was not a widow, was like a monk, lonely all his life. In addition to the word "white head double star", in "Good Song Notes", "What do you say is fat and fragrant, how can the temples turn into frost?" Next to the sentence, Zhi criticized "Baochai and Xiangyun are a group of people" , it can also be seen that both Baochai and Xiangyun lived to the age of white heads.The ending of Baochai is because Baoyu became a monk and became a widow. What about Xiangyun? A "Opening Banquet" and a song "When Appreciating Flowers" linked the fates of Baochai, Xiangyun, and Fangguan together. Since Fangguan and Baoyu ended up becoming monks, Baochai's future is widowhood. Then it is impossible for Xiangyun to remarry Baoyu and grow old forever, but he can only end up alone and miserable for the rest of his life.
