Moon in the Red Chamber 刘心武 1936Words 2018-03-20
"Jiang Yuhan Gives Qianxiangluo with Love" was written in Feng Ziying's home. Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and Yun'er, a prostitute from Jinxiangyuan, ordered to drink and sing songs together. The four sentences of "Le" and the songs sung are not only in line with each person's personality, vivid and appropriate, but also imply many hints to the development of the characters and plots in the book. People have written countless articles. Analyzing this description, especially for the Jia Baoyu's "Red Bean Song" and the details about Xue Pan have already formed their origins; however, Feng Ziying's "Keren Song" sung on that occasion has received little attention.

Needless to say, Feng Ziying is a homonym of "every bosom friend".Whose bosom friend is he?Generally speaking, it's easy to say - he is a bosom friend of Jia's mansion; how about more specific?Is it Jia Baoyu's bosom friend?Maybe it counts, but it's not the main thing; in my opinion, he is Jia Zhen's bosom friend first! The first time Feng Ziying caught readers' attention was in the tenth chapter.Qin Keqing of Ningguo Mansion suddenly got a strange disease, and Jia Zhenyou was very anxious. At this critical moment, Feng Ziying came to Ningguo Mansion, "Speaking of a gentleman who studied when he was young, surnamed Zhang Youshi, the most knowledgeable, Moreover, he has profound medical knowledge, and can judge people's life and death. This year, he came to Beijing to donate an official to his son, and now he lives in his house." This Zhang Youshi clearly stated in the text that he is just an "amateur doctor" who "also has medical knowledge". , But this time, in the review, all kinds of fat-approved books are written as "Master Zhang discusses the causes of diseases in detail", is this "wrong question"?As far as this episode is concerned, it seems to be, but as far as the whole book is concerned, I think this Zhang Youshi will probably appear in the lost manuscripts after the eighty chapters.At that time, his real identity and face must be exposed. From my point of view, his real identity was once an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital in Beijing, but later he went to Jiangnan for some reason. Qin Keqing "lived in Jiangnan and his surname was Qin" Hui Jiaxu (return to the previous poem revealed), he has a deep relationship with Qin's real parents, his "going to Beijing to donate to his son to donate an official" is just a means of cover, in fact, he came to inform Qin, His sneaky actions are all political activities - he himself said: "...I just came home after visiting a guest for a day today. At this time, I really can't support my spirit..." So I couldn't go to Ningguo Mansion that day, which shows the action The secret rush.When such a person arrives in the capital, he does not live in another house and lives in Feng's house, and the news of his arrival is not passed on to Jia Zhen by others, but by Feng Ziying himself. It can be seen that Feng Ziying is Jia Zhen's close friend.

The Qin family finally failed. "The dream of spring dissipated with the clouds, and the flying flowers chased the water." Qin Keqing had no choice but to "paint the beams and the spring to fall into the fragrant dust". Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and other kings and grandchildren", we all know that Wei Ruolan is a role that cannot be ignored in the book. It is related to one word - it was once married to Shi Xiangyun; I guess Han Qi and Chen Yejun are also characters who will appear in the future; among the eighty chapters of the books that have been preserved, only Feng Ziying is the one who plays the role of the above-mentioned princes and grandsons one person.But commentators generally ignore Feng Gongzi's play.

After the death of Mrs. Qin, she slept in the "what is it called mahogany" that "was born on the iron net mountain in Huanghai" that "was originally wanted by Yizhong Lao Qiansui, but because he broke something, he never took it" In the coffin, readers may think that these words about the coffin appear only once, but who knows that in the twenty-sixth chapter, it suddenly writes that Xue Pan tricked Jia Baoyu out to eat and drink. Here we come." The following description is really noteworthy: Seeing Feng's "some bruises on his face", Xue Pan smiled and said, "Who is this face punching with? It's a cover." Feng Ziying said with a smile: " Ever since I was wounded by Captain Qiu's son, I have remembered how to throw a fist again if I don't get angry? This face was surrounded the day before yesterday and taught the rabbit and falcon to take a wing on Iron Net Mountain." Baoyu said: " When will it be?" Ziying said, "I went on March 28th, and my son came back." Baoyu said, "No wonder I didn't see you at the banquet at Brother Shen Shi's house... Shan Did you go, or did the old man also go?" Ziying said: "It's not my father who is going, I can't help it, just go. Am I crazy...to find that trouble? This time, in the midst of great misfortune Great luck.” It turned out that Feng Ziying went to Huanghai Iron Net Mountain—the place that had some relationship with the righteous and loyal old Chitose—and he went there for a long time, but was still forced by his father Feng Tang On the surface, it was hunting, but in fact it was probably some kind of secretive political act—he left out the phrase "great fortune amidst great misfortune", but later he insisted on not talking about it, and kept it secret; so this Feng Ziying is by no means ordinary A background character, in the lost manuscript, he must have a serious scene with Jia's "one damage and one damage"!

In the twenty-eighth round, it was Feng Ziying's turn to sing, and he sang: "You are a lovely person, you are passionate, you are a tricky ghost, you are a fairy and you are not effective, you don't believe what I say, I just call you Find out if I love you or not!" Although "Keren" can be understood as a general term (a person who is satisfied with everything), Qin Keqing's nickname is just Ke'er, so we can Imagine, if this "Keren Song" is sung by Jia Zhen, it will be completely "words are the voice of the heart"!Perhaps Feng Ziying often listened to Jia Zhen sing this song when drinking together, and she was familiar with it, so she couldn't help learning the tongue?Indeed, he is Jia Zhen's bosom friend!

There is another spider's thread worth pondering. In the fifth chapter, Baoyu was in Qin's bedroom. The book said that he left four maids, Xiren, Meiren, Qingwen, and Sheyue, as companions; When counting a dozen big maids with the same qualifications, there is no charmer, but there is a saying of "dead lovable". The trace of Keren, obviously, is because when Cao Weng was sorting out the manuscript, he considered that Qin Keqing had already named Ke’er, and the similar Keren was first changed to Charming, and then deleted altogether, saying that he was “dead”. To avoid confusion; but he retained "Kerenqu" - it is a pity that there are very few readers who have "confidantes"!
