After "Jia Yuanchun chose Fengzao Palace", the Grand View Garden was completed, so "Rongguo Mansion returned to the province to celebrate the Lantern Festival", and the concubine Yuan entered the garden for a visit. name.She only changed one of the original plaques proposed by Baoyu and others——changed "Red Fragrance and Green Jade" to "Yihong and Quick Green". Baoyu was unaware of this. In one poem, there was still the words "green jade in spring" in the draft; but Xue Baochai was careful, and hurriedly pushed Baoyu to remind him: the concubine Yuan didn't like the words "red fragrance and green jade", so she changed it to "Yihong". Quickly green", you just use the word "green jade" at this moment, isn't it "intentional to compete with him?" Then I taught Baoyu, using Tang Qianyi's "cold candle, smokeless green wax dry" code, with "Green Wax" to replace "

Green jade"; and laughed at Baoyu's panic, mocked him and said: Thanks to you tonight, you will probably forget "Zhao Qian, Sun Li" in the future countermeasures of the Golden Palace!... This plot has always been discussed in the past. Everyone thinks that it is an important pen and ink to portray Xue Baochai's character and thoughts, and relevant analysis is not uncommon; but now I have to ask: Could it be that Cao Xueqin wrote that the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty changed the plaque, just to show that she accidentally disliked it, and had no deep meaning? Is this detail just for the sake of Is it used to portray Xue Baochai?

Why can't Yuanchun see the word "jade" at this moment?Her beloved brother's name clearly has the word "jade" in it, and she should not be disgusted with the word "yu", although Xue Baochai is sensitively aware that at this moment, she must not use the word "yu" to annoy her, But it is also "knowing it, not knowing why", which is a mystery. After careful reading, it is not difficult for us to realize that Yuan Chun is actually a political figure. According to my research in "Qin Keqing's birth may not be humble" and other articles, the Jia family once adopted and hid Qin Keqing, the daughter of the current emperor's political opponent, for the purpose of seeking Once the current emperor is replaced by the "background" of the Qin family, he will be able to prosper because of it; but the Jia family also adopts the policy of "walking on two legs", and also tries every means to send Yuanchun into the palace, hoping that "now" can be against the emperor. Yuanchun was particularly gracious; the development of the situation was that Qin Keqing's "background" actually lost in the contest, so Qin Keqing "painted the Liangchun to fall into the fragrant dust", but "lost the east corner, harvested the mulberry elm", it was at this juncture, " Jia Yuanchun only chose Fengzao Palace, which not only enabled Jia's mansion to survive the crisis of "Qin Keqing's obscene mourning in Tianxianglou", but also reached the prosperity of "flowers blooming brocade, burning fire cooking oil".

Yuanchun's return to province was not only a "grand event" where the emperor showed his grace and the concubine Yuan showed her family affection, it was actually a "walking on thin ice" trip with deep political significance! "Today" has already noticed that the Jia family is hiding the Qin family and has sneaky contacts with its "background". It's just that the rebellious forces have been largely disintegrated; Therefore, when Yuan Chun returned to Jia's mansion, she felt not only family affection, but also a stronger sense of political crisis, but she could never clearly say that when she saw Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, her eyes were full of tears. , and then "laughed with grief", saying that she was sent to "the place where no one can see people", and when Jia Zheng came to greet him outside the curtain, she said, "Although the wealth is extremely rich and the flesh and blood are everywhere, but in the end I have no intention Interesting!" He also asked him to "only focus on state affairs", etc. In addition to the connotations of "palace grievances" analyzed by previous theorists, there is really another "unspeakable secret"!

In the fifth chapter, Jia Baoyu saw a page about Yuanchun in the official volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling when Jia Baoyu wandered in the realm of emptiness. What is the meaning of his paintings and poems?Readers have always been litigating, "Twenty years to distinguish right from wrong", what is "yes" and what is "wrong"?Why "twenty years"?Did she stay in the palace for twenty years?Or someone else's "twenty years"? "The tiger meets the big dream and returns", who is equivalent to the "tiger"?Who is equivalent to "兕"?Later, the song "Hate Impermanence" sung by the fairies about her is even more difficult to understand. What does "Impermanence" refer to?Abstract "fate", or some specific and unpredictable human factors? "Look open and throw everything away", what is the most important thing in "everything"?The strangest thing is that "Looking at my hometown, the road is far away and the mountains are high", she was "destined into the underworld" in a remote place thousands of miles away from the capital, what happened?Before she died, she was still advising the Jia family: "You need to step back and get out early!" Where did you "regress"?From where to "extract"?is there time?Will it end up like the couplet of "Zhitong Temple" written in the second chapter: "There is more behind me and I forget to shrink my hands, and there is no way to turn back in front of me?"

I think that Qin Keqing should be exactly twenty years old when she "painted Liangchun with the fragrance falling into the dust". Before entering the palace, in the late autumn of the twentieth year, she finally revealed the matter to the emperor.The emperor was also aware of it, and he had severely cracked down on his brothers who were either of the same mother or half mother who were plotting against others. In addition, he really liked the concubine Yuan, so he not only agreed to the concubine Yuan's request, but did not investigate the Jia's house deeply, and sent the concubine Yuan The status of the concubine was also promoted (the so-called "the place where the durian blossoms shine on the palace"), which made the Jia family "extremely rich".However, Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion may still be able to really cut off from the Qin family from then on. His elder brother Jia She who lives in another house is not guaranteed. As for the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen really loves Qin Keqing and has a close relationship with Feng Ziying and others. .It is even more impossible for him to "forget Qin" and "everything is wrong, and the beginning of the quarrel is really peaceful." I am afraid that Jia Zhen did not listen to Yuan Chun's set. , Liu Xianglian and other knight-errants come and go, and Feng is the best friend of "Jiangnan Qin" and "Tiewangshan", Liu Zeshi became a "strong beam" after becoming a monk, and they are all political opponents of "today". in the power struggle.The reason why Yuanchun died in a foreign country "high mountains and far away" from her home was obviously the result of a fierce battle between "Tiger" and "Si". She was either abandoned by the emperor in a rage and sent to wasteland, or she was beaten Feng Ziying, the son of Qiu Duwei, and others were hijacked to such a place and died tragically. Therefore, Yuan Chun, as a political victim, can only "hate impermanence"-hate those "variables" that are difficult to grasp, both internal and external!

Looking back now, why Yuan Chun was so sensitive when he saw "Red Fragrance and Green Jade" when he was visiting relatives. The "fragrance" might have reminded her of "Tianxiang Tower", but this is not a big problem. For the word "Yu", she must have thought of "I was named Yu before I was married, and my surname was Qin when I came here". "Poem": "Twelve flowers are the most beautiful. I don't know who is the person who cherishes flowers. If you meet, ask the name He, who lives in the south of the Yangtze River and the surname is Qin." If Yuan Chun was lucky enough to enter the palace, then Qin Keqing's bloodline is more noble than hers - she has a "meeting" relationship with the "Palace Flower", that is to say, she is almost a princess!Qin's "background" is the royal family temporarily dormant in the south of the Yangtze River. After she married Jia Rong, she was named "Keqing". What about when she was not married? "First name jade"!Therefore, when Concubine Yuan suddenly saw the words "red fragrance and green jade" when she returned to the province, how could she not be in a hurry!Immediately use a pen to change it to "Yi Hong Kuai Green", it is not surprising at all!

"My first name was Yu when I was not married, and my original surname was Qin when I came here." These are two lines in the poem "Respecting Liu Changshi and Praising Famous Scholars Joyful Allure" by Liang Liuyuan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The first poem was also quoted in Zhiyanzhai's commentary, and it was said that "the second language is the outline of this book, the big Toby, and the big irony", although this Zhiyan was written in the seventh chapter of Qin Zhong's meeting with Sister Feng. It seems to be aimed at Qin Zhong, but Qin Zhong died in the sixteenth chapter, and it is difficult to appear again after that. Qin Zhong only wrote this second language, and thought it was "the outline of this book, the big Toby, the big It is difficult for people to figure it out. Considering that Zhiyanzhai "deleted Qinxi to delete" and "Tianxianglou for obscene mourning" and strictly grasped the "political standard" of "this book dare not interfere with the court", this sentence comment maybe

Intentionally "misplaced", but in any case, it still leaked a message: under the superficial text of "writing children's pen and ink", there is really another "hidden text" about the power struggle of the imperial court buried deep in it. In this "hidden text", Yuanchun and the Qin family are the two wings that affect the fortunes and fortunes of Jia's family. Yes, its subtle psychology, although Xue Baochai noticed its appearance, but did not know its inside, everyone in the Jia family was even more ignorant, and most of the readers of the book were concealed by the author. The author is crazy, who will understand the meaning"!
