Chapter 2 Chapter One: The Mystery of Marriage in the Jia Mansion

Known as a mysterious work, its mystery is reflected in the fact that the book hints at the political situation of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, and the rise and fall of the author Cao Xueqin's family is closely related to it. He combines the events experienced by his family with others. The characters in the mind are shown in the book one by one, as if they are pointing, but they dare not make mistakes. The main characters and events in the book can be found in the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Qian.Among these intricate characters and events, there is a character who is the key to connect them, and that is Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing. This mysterious figure is the master key to unlocking the secret. In her body, there is a huge secret hidden. I am right. To reveal the secret, start with exploring the character Qin Keqing.

Regarding Qin Keqing, the first thing we need to figure out is: what is Qin Keqing's position in the Jia clan? In the book, Cao Xueqin described a big family named Jia's mansion who was the Duke of the state. The book explained that they were two brothers from the same mother. They were both favored by the current emperor. Duke Ning, the eldest, Duke Rong the second.The two brothers marry wives and have children to continue the bloodline. Although the two brothers have passed away at the beginning of the story, their titles are inherited by their children and grandchildren, and the Jia family is still aristocratic.And just behind the prominent reputation of this family, there is also a crisis lurking, so what is this crisis?Why study Qin Keqing from this crisis?

We know that the long house of the Jia clan is Ningguo Mansion, and the second house is Rongguo Mansion.But because the story is mainly about Rongguo Mansion, although it is also written about Ningguo Mansion and other places, the main space where the story takes place is Rongguo Mansion, so if we sort out the clan situation of the Jia family, we can sort out Rongguo Mansion first.What is going on with this Rongguo Mansion?How many sons this Rong Guogong gave birth to, how many sons he gave birth to, is not explained in the book, but his eldest son is called Jia Daishan.We all know that an inherent artistic technique is homophony, and "fake words" is homophony, that is, he hides the truth and uses an artistic fiction to express the real existence, but it also does a lot of cover-up, so it is called False language village language.Then "Jia's family" assumes that there is such a family. In this family, his Rong Guogong is a branch. After Rong Guogong died, the eldest son was called Jia Daishan. Jia Daishan had two sons, the eldest son was Jia She, and the second son The name is Jia Zheng, and the two sons are also very competitive, and they continue to have sons, so the blood line of Rong Guogong continues down.It is written in the book that Jia She has two sons. Regarding Jia She’s two sons, I saw some people listening to me smiling, because they thought it was interesting. Make a face), there is someone laughing underneath, isn't it Jia Lian (lian's second sound is pronounced as Lian)?You call him Jia Lian (read the second tone) I have no objection, but if you look up the dictionary, you will find that there is only one pronunciation of the word "Yu" next to the word "Lianlian". Lian (third tone) is an ancient sacrificial vessel, mainly used to hold sticky rice and millet during sacrifices.Then in the book, Jia Lian is the boss and the eldest son, but when described in the book, everyone calls him Lian Er Ye. How can Jia She's eldest son be called Er Ye?I will solve this problem for you later.So is there any son?There is also a son named Jia Cong.Some people are laughing now, and they may think that the title Lian Erye is easy to explain. Isn't it over if Jia Cong is his brother?But no, Jia Cong appears in the book. Once Jia Baoyu was ordered by Jia Mu to visit Jia She and Mrs. Xing in the house where Jia She and Mrs. Xing lived. After the visit, Mrs. Xing left him, and then described When Jia Cong came out, what happened after he came out?Mrs. Xing didn't like him very much. As soon as she saw him, she said, "There's a live monkey running out. Your nanny is dead. It made you black-eyed and black-mouthed. She said that the nanny didn't take good care of you. It's not like a child who is studying for everyone.It can be seen that Jia Cong is still young, doesn't look very good, and doesn't like hygiene. He has a very wretched image.He should be about the same age as Jia Huan and Jia Lan in the book, so he can't be Jia Lian's elder brother, he can only be Jia Lian's younger brother.

Jia Zheng's fertility is relatively strong, and he is quite competitive, and he has made a relatively large contribution to the descendant of Rong Guogong's blood.He first gave birth to an eldest son named Jia Zhu. Although Jia Zhu died after the story began, and his story cannot be seen in the book, Jia Zhu did not die young. He has grown up and married a wife , and gave Jia Zheng a grandson, Jia Lan, before he died.Of course, what impressed everyone the most was Jia Baoyu, another son of Jia Zheng, who is the main protagonist of our book.Jia Baoyu also has a younger brother, Jia Huan, who was born to Jia Zheng's concubine Aunt Zhao.So you see, the situation of males in Rongguo Mansion is relatively optimistic.

Now let’s talk about Ningguo Mansion. In fact, we should talk about Ningguo Mansion first. Let me remind everyone that Ningguo Mansion is higher than Rongguo Mansion.Ning Guogong is his elder brother, so after the death of Ning Guogong in this house, he passed his title to his son Jia Daihua. The situation of Ning Guogong's branch is not so good when it is below Jia Daihua.What's wrong?Jia Daihua did have two sons, but the book clearly states that the first son, Jia Fu, died at the age of eight or nine before he grew up. Inheritance does not play any role, so this character can be ignored.In fact, he only had one son, Jia Jing, and this Jia Jing was very weird. Later, he didn't want to live in Ningguo Mansion, and he didn't want to go back to his hometown, so he went to the Taoist temple outside the capital to mingle with Taoist priests, and made alchemy there. This is Jia Jing.Jia Jing also gave birth to a son named Jia Zhen, but this one was very lonely. Jia Zhen also gave birth to a son named Jia Rong, so in Ningguo Mansion, a single pass of the third generation was formed.What is the single biography of the third generation?Older Chinese people know that this is a very dangerous signal in the continuation of the blood of a clan.There is only one male in the three generations, and it is very difficult to pass it down. In the end, if the male is infertile or dies abnormally, or dies of a normal disease, his wife does not give birth to a child for him. This is called Extinct family, this bloodline will end.We all know that in feudal society, not only ordinary aristocratic families attached great importance to the continuation of bloodlines, but ordinary families, including poor families, also attached great importance to the continuation of their own clan bloodlines.Then, the two brothers Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong must continue their blood, which is a big deal in a feudal society.Ningguogong and Rongguogong, even though they have been made dukes, they still need to pay attention to the continuation of their descendants' bloodlines.They are different from ordinary families. They have titles, and they not only inherit blood, but also social status and wealth, so the continuation of blood is a big deal for the two governments.Therefore, the Ningguo Mansion is facing a crisis of blood inheritance, which is more serious than the Rongguo Mansion.

Why do I say this?Some people say you don't want to study Qin Keqing?I just want to discuss with you here. In the feudal society, where blood inheritance is so important in the feudal family, the Ningguo Mansion has reached the situation of three generations of single inheritance, so the last male is Jia Rong marrying a daughter-in-law. Is it convenient?Can you marry a daughter-in-law at will?Some people down there were laughing, and said how is that impossible? They are novels, and Cao Xueqin is willing to write like this. Just write that the Jia clan does not pay much attention to marrying a daughter-in-law, regardless of blood. Not only the daughters of the poor can marry, but the parents do not Whoever's abandoned baby can also marry.But if Cao Xueqin really wants to write like this, he shouldn't only be reflected in a daughter-in-law, so let's take a look at the situation in the book about the Jia clan marrying a daughter-in-law.

In the book, although Cao Xueqin deliberately said that he did not know which dynasty or generation he wrote, but according to the content he wrote, many senior red scholars inferred that what he wrote reflected the stories of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor conferred titles on meritorious ministers, which were divided into two situations. The first type was titled. Although the descendants can inherit the title from generation to generation, their title will be descended.Both the Ningrong and Rongfu houses in Li belonged to the second category of nobility, and the titles of descendants were reduced by one rank. Even so, Jia's mansion also had a great status in the whole society at that time.Can such a big family of founding heroes be sloppy when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law?What is the status and status of the wives they marry?What does this have to do with the character Qin Keqing?Listen to me.

What kind of daughter-in-law Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong married is not explained in the book, but there is an explanation about Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan's marriage.Duke Rong of Rongguo Mansion, after his death, he passed his noble title to his eldest son, Jia Daishan. Who did Jia Daishan marry?She is the daughter of Jinling Shixun Shihou's family.Then in the fourth chapter we saw such a plot, that is, Jia Yucun later replaced the official and replaced Ying Tianfu. The trial was stopped, and the doorman was called to the secret room for questioning. The doorman said, if you want to be a reliable official, you must have an official protection talisman, so Jia Yucun suddenly realized.How is the amulet written?Later, the book revealed that the first four households and families on the official talisman were the four major families in the Jinling area.The Jia family is at the top of the list, "Jia is not Jia, white jade is the horse for the gold", is the rich rich or not rich?For such a family to marry a daughter-in-law for its young son, it is unambiguous, and it has to find the right family, the lady of the historian.The historian is the second family of the four major families. It is called "Efang Palace, three hundred miles away, and it can't fit a history in Jinling", what a grandeur.When the Jia family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, the first thing they considered was not an ordinary wealthy family, but a historian. Sure enough, Jia Daishan married a lady from the historian and became his own daughter-in-law. This is the mother Jia who appeared in the book.The time when she was a young lady is not mentioned in the book. When the story begins, she is already an old lady, and her contemporaries are basically dead. She is the only one left among the elders in Ningrong and Rongfu, because she Her surname is Shi, so sometimes she is called Shi Taijun in the book.A lady from the Shi family married to the Jia family. Does she care about bloodlines? Very much.This sect told Jia Yucun about this matter, saying that these four families are all connected and related, and they formed an alliance politically and economically. Support and cover are all taken care of.Then they must be the first choice for each other in marriage.

I am not farfetched in saying this.If you look at Cao Xueqin's description again, what kind of wife did Jia Zheng marry?Don't pay attention to bloodlines, find a woman on the street, go to the nursery to ask for one?Absolutely not, she married Mrs. Wang, the daughter of the Wang family. Among the four major families, the Wang family is no small matter. The local jingle said, "There is a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea. The Dragon King invited the King of Jinling." The Dragon King asked their family for anything, you say What kind of family is it?This royal family is incredible.Mrs. Wang, she is the young lady of the Wang family. She married Jia Zheng. Who did her younger sister marry?Married to the Xue family, the Xue family is the fourth family of the four major families.How about the jingle? "In a good year, there is heavy snow, pearls are like earth and gold is like iron." It is unreasonable to be rich, so rich that pearls have turned to mud. What kind of family?It's just that the daughters of the Wang family don't marry into other people's homes.Another member of the Wang family also married into the Jia family, that is, Wang Xifeng, the niece of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.Wang Xifeng's father didn't say his name. He was also a member of the Wang family and was very wealthy.The four families are married to each other, and you must not marry a daughter-in-law casually, and first consider whether there is a suitable one among the four families.Of course, it may happen that none of the four major families are suitable for a while, because there may not be such a young lady in the age group, or some young lady has already promised to another family, so we will consider other families, so we found it in Jia's mansion. Another daughter-in-law, who doesn't belong to the four major families, but is no small matter, is Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law Li Wan.What was Li Wan's background?It is very clear in the book that his father's name is Li Shouzhong.What kind of family background?Li Shouzhong used to serve as the Imperial Academy for Jijiu. He was also a not-so-small official and a master of poetry and ceremony. Li Wan came from such a family background.So if you look at the daughter-in-law married by the Rongguo Mansion, which one is bad? They are all so-called basic family businesses that can stand scrutiny.

The only weaker daughter-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion may be Mrs. Xing. Some readers said that Mrs. Xing seems to be worse, and Mrs. Xing is worse.First of all, the "Xing" surname does not belong to the four major families. The book does not introduce Mrs. Xing's family background in detail, unlike the introduction of Li Wan, and we vaguely feel from the description in the book that Mrs. Xing is a little Sick personality, this person is narrow-minded, has problems, is very stingy, and only knows how to collect money.But in general, Mrs. Xing is obviously a woman from a wealthy family who knows her roots, and she is not very bad. It is just that compared with the daughters-in-law we just mentioned, her basic family business is slightly worse and inferior. This may be related to Xing The lady herself has something to do with filling in the house.Have you noticed this?Mrs. Xing was not Jia She's original partner. Jia Lian, Jia Cong, and Yingchun were not born to her. It was later revealed in the book.Once, Jia's mother made a ruthless investigation of gambling, and found out that one of the leaders who gathered in the Grand View Garden was Yingchun's nurse.This of course made Yingchun very embarrassed. Yingchun was not originally from the Rongguo Mansion. She was brought in from outside the Rongguo Mansion just like Xichun because Jia's mother liked girls.Xichun is Jia Zhen’s younger sister, who comes from Ningguo Mansion; Yingchun is Jia She’s daughter, and it’s clearly written in the book that Jia She and Mrs. Xing live in a dark gate separated from Rongguo Mansion. In the courtyard, she was brought to live in Rongguo Mansion from that courtyard. After the Grand View Garden was built, she also lived in it.After her nanny had an accident, Mrs. Xing went to scold her. Did you notice a few words in it?Mrs. Xing said clearly: "Besides, you are not raised by me." She also said: "On the contrary, I have been childless all my life, and I have been clean all my life. It is high that I can't make people laugh and talk about it." It can be seen that she is Jia Amnesty's house fill. Well, when the men of Jia's mansion marry Xu Xian's wife, it may be more difficult to find a lady from a very powerful family.So Mrs. Xing's family background and financial situation are a little bit worse, but not too bad.This is the case of the Rongguo Mansion marrying a daughter-in-law.

Then let's go back and look at the long house Ningguo Mansion. It is not clear who Ning Guogong married in Ningguo Mansion, and he didn't explain it. Then who did Jia Daihua marry?I vaguely know that she is also a historian's lady.When we arrived at Jia Jing, we didn't know who he married. We knew that Jia Zhen's wife was You Shi.This is a very important role, and she has a lot of roles in it. It can be seen that she is still a child of a rich family who understands everyone's norms, and the daughter of a rich family.Of course, Youshi's family, her natal family, seems to be not very good from the description in the back of the novel. Youshi's father may have died of his wife, and he married a widow for some reason during the sequel; the widow brought two Daughter, called Tuoyouping in the old society, brought two girls who were born to other men to marry into their family and became Youshi's stepmother.After the novel, she is called You Lao Niang. When the novel was written there, she was already old, and the two daughters she brought with her had grown up, one was Second Sister You, and the other was Third Sister You.Second Sister You, Third Sister You and Youshi have neither father nor mother, they are just younger sisters by name.It can be seen that Youshi's family background did not seem to be very good later, but this does not prevent us from guessing that Youshi is a young lady from a very good family who married into Jia's family.But the reason why she is worse than Wang Xifeng and these people's family business is also because she is filling a house. Her situation is similar to that of Mrs. Xing.Some people below are shaking their heads, saying yes?Didn't she have Jia Rong? Isn't Jia Rong her son?She is Jia Rong's stepmother, but she is not Jia Rong's biological mother, so how can you tell? I don't know if you read the section "Sister Feng makes trouble in Ningguo Mansion" carefully or not, because Jia Lian secretly married Aunt You, so Wang Xifeng went to Ningguo Mansion, made a fuss, cried and made a fuss, first with You, Then she quarreled with Jia Rong and scolded Jia Rong. There was a sentence in what she scolded Jia Rong, that is, "Your dead mother's ghost will not spare you."It can be seen that Jia Rong's mother is dead, she is a ghost in hell. It can be seen that Jia Rong was not born by You Shi, but by Jia Zhen's ex-wife, so You Shi is filling the house.As I said just now, you can't ask too much for filling the house. Youshi may be the lady of a very good family, but she is not one of the four major families. So based on the entire description, we can form such a logic, that is, can the Jia clan not pay attention to it when choosing a daughter-in-law for Jia Rong?Even if you can't find a suitable one among the four major families, can you find someone with a family background similar to Li Wan? A woman who is passable, with a clear blood relationship, a passable family background, and a decent status.However, we discovered that the final account of Qin Keqing's background was completely wrong, and Qin Keqing was designed to be an abandoned baby brought from the Yangshengtang.Speaking of this, there is another red fan friend who wants to discuss with me.Say oops, what are you doing talking about for so long? It's a novel, isn't it? Novels can be imagined and fabricated, so he just wrote them like that.Yes or no?Why are you so inquisitive, endless? I also write novels myself. Although I am a novel writer who cannot compare with these masters, I write novels and I also read novels.I know that there are different types of novels, one of which is self-narrative and autobiographical, that is, the characters in the novel have life prototypes; of course they must be fictional, of course they must be imagined, but they all start from the existing lively life foundation To develop, to imagine, to structure the relationship between the characters, and to spread the plot. Qin Keqing's humble background obviously does not match the status of the centuries-old Jia family. She has become an exception among the many daughter-in-laws in the Jia family. So why did Cao Xueqin write like this?Lu Xun, Hu Shi and other senior masters are definitely a self-narrative and autobiographical work. I am convinced of this judgment. The more I read it carefully, the more I believe that the main characters in the book can find their life prototypes. Cao Xueqin is Shape these archetypes into characters in his novels.Of course, imagination and fiction are added here, or characters and events are merged, split, moved, and deformed, but in general, many characters in the novel are astonishing as some of Cao Xueqin's own family members. Is it not worthy of our special attention?I can come up with a lot of evidence to prove that it is a realistic work, a work with a self-narrative color, and a work that starts from the prototype of the characters.So let's discuss it step by step.First of all, let's look at what Cao Xueqin himself said. Look at the first time, I only cite a few short sentences. It is written from his life experience, selecting the women he has been in contact with and getting along with.He also said, "I have seen and heard about these women in half my life", and he himself said that he had seen and heard with himself.He declared, "If there are sorrows and joys in separation and joy, and ups and downs, you will follow the traces and dare not make a little guess." Maybe you still want to discuss it with me. The author deliberately said this. It is possible for him to say that without any basis in life.Then let's discuss further why his collaborator Zhi Yanzhai repeatedly told readers in the comments that there are real people and real things, and important people have prototypes.To put it simply, Jia Baoyu’s prototype should be Cao Xueqin himself, with a self-narrative nature, but because we will touch on this topic in the future, we will expand and analyze it. Now here, I will not analyze Jia Baoyu’s prototype. First analyze the prototype of Jiamu. Jia's mother has a prototype, how can she see it?Everyone knows that Cao Xueqin's grandfather was Cao Yin, and Cao Yin's wife's surname was Li, and she was Li Xu's younger sister.Who is Li Xu?When Cao Yin was in charge of weaving in Jiangning, Li Xu was in charge of weaving in Suzhou, and the two were the two major weavers in the Jinling area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River.Moreover, Emperor Kangxi loved them very much, and often let the two of them take turns in charge of the local salt administration, sometimes together, sometimes separately, on rotation; and Kangxi made them two secret agents. They were required to secretly report many local situations, especially the movements of the adherents of the Ming Dynasty, what the local people said about the imperial court, and so on.They are very close.Cao Yin's wife, Li Shi, is Li Xu's younger sister, so in the novel, we find the role of Jia's mother. The author changed her real surname, Li Shi, into the surname Shi, which shows that it has been artistically processed.So why is it said that the prototype of Jia Mu is Li Shi?There are many examples, I will not mention them one by one, but just a few. Everyone knows that during the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival in Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia is a hedonist. Not only is she good at eating and dressing, she is also good at watching theaters and appreciating literature and art.The family invited a storyteller to read the book, and she said that none of you could do it at all, so she broke the old stereotypes, told them what to say in the book, and told them how her family acted back then.She said that at that time our family sang an opera and played the piano, it was not unreal.Because Chinese opera is freehand and virtual. Playing the piano and making a few gestures means that playing the piano is enough. She said that we are not, our family plays with a real piano on stage, and a real piano player on stage. She gave an example, and sometimes put together a few excerpts. , are all related to playing the piano.She mentioned one. This is a script that everyone is familiar with. It was written by Wang Shifu in the Yuan Dynasty. It was very popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it is not unusual.She also talked about "Qin Tiao" from "The Jade Hairpin". "Qin Tiao" was a play by Gao Lian in the Ming Dynasty. It was also very popular at that time, and it was not uncommon for it to be performed everywhere.She gave another example. There is another play called "Continued Pipa". "Continued Pipa" is a story about Cai Wenji. In it, she plays the piano while singing "Hujia Eighteen Beats". The actor playing the piano is really playing the piano on stage, how beautiful it is.So who wrote "Continued Pipa"?If you look up the historical materials of Chinese opera, it will be very difficult for you to find them.It was a very unpopular play, a play that was hardly ever performed publicly, a play that has not been performed to this day.This script was written by Cao Yin, Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin.Moreover, according to the information, it can be found that this play was only performed in Cao Yin's own family and his relative's family, that is, Li Xu's family.This example proves that the prototype of Jia's mother is Li Xu's younger sister. Otherwise, when Cao Xueqin wrote this, it would be impossible to write such a very remote play written by Cao Yin, and it was a play that was only played by Cao's family and This is an example of the play that the Li family has acted in.In addition, the book explains that Shi Xiangyun is from Jiamu's natal family. It is revealed in the book that she has two uncles, both of whom were feudal marquises with high status. One is Baoling Hou Shi Nai, and the other is Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding. It is very clear that Shi Nai is the elder brother and Shi Ding is the younger brother.In other words, there are two nephews of Jia Mu in the book, and Jia Mu's surname is set in the book as Shi, so they are both named Shi. You will find that the eldest of Li Xu's two sons is called Li Nai, and the second is called Li Ding.This can't be a coincidence, how can it be such a coincidence?And if it is a fiction, logically, Ding should be the elder brother, because Nai added the character "Nai" on the tripod, which should be the second child, but he wrote it without any mess, so it can be seen that he has a prototype, Jia Mu's prototype is Cao Yin His wife Li Shi. So does Jia Zheng have a prototype?The more prototypes, the more interesting it is to say.Now think about it, everyone, there is one thing that is very strange. Many readers are very careless in reading, and some people draw a big question mark when they think about it, that is, Jia She is the eldest son of Jia Mu, and he also attacked Jue is a first-class general. According to the ethical order of feudal society, he should serve Jiamu and live with Jiamu.He should live in the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. The building on the central axis of Rongguo Mansion, the courtyard courtyard, which is the courtyard where Lin Daiyu saw the plaque written by the emperor's imperial pen, should be Jia She. He is the eldest son. He has been conferred a title, why does Jia Zheng live now?Is it any wonder?how to explain?You are fictional, are you worthy of being so fictional?What is the purpose of such fiction?What's going on?Why don't you think about it?You can't be a lazy person in reading, you have to be a diligent person, you have to be diligent in using your brain, you have to be good at observing and comprehending, so that you can read the taste. The Jia Zheng written in the book made it very clear that Jia Zheng did not inherit the title at all, because the emperor stipulated that the title can only be passed on to one man in the family, and passed on to your eldest son.Of course, it is also written in the book that after Jia Daishan died, the emperor immediately asked Jia She to attack him, and then asked if he had any sons, and said that he had, the emperor was very happy.The emperor was very concerned about the merits of the Jia family in the founding of the country, and immediately introduced him. Seeing that Jia Zheng liked it very much, he couldn't be knighted, so he rewarded him with the title of chief minister, let him study in the ministry, and later let him be a minister. Became an official, became a Yuanwailang.What is Yuanwailang, neither big nor small, not very big. I once joked that this official is equivalent to today, and he is only a deputy ministerial level. As a result, some enthusiastic red fans solemnly pointed out to me that the highest official of the Ministry of Industry is Shang Shu and Shi Lang are equivalent to ministers and vice ministers, and Yuan Wai Lang is only a deputy department bureau if he dies.I am very grateful for the corrections made by friends who are red fans. In fact, how can the officials of the Qing Dynasty be compared with today's civil servants?This analogy is a bit nondescript, but the reason why we make this analogy is just to tell everyone that no matter what, the political status of Jia Zheng written in the book is not very high, and he should be lower than Jia She.Then, he is neither the eldest son, nor has he been a nobleman, nor is he a big official. How could he occupy the main hall and main room on the central axis of Rongguo Mansion?Even if he insisted on living like that, Mother Jia knew that her eldest son was a first-class general, and her husband's title was passed on to the eldest son, but she refused to let the eldest son live with her. the point?And why Jia Amnesty was calm about this, from the way he looked, he felt that it was normal for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to live in the main compound on the central axis of the Rongguo Mansion.What's going on?According to the feudal etiquette, you, Jia She, are the boss, so you should live with your mother and serve your mother every day. You went to live in another black oil gate, what's the matter? And the more we look at it, the weirder it becomes.The seventy-fifth chapter writes about Mid-Autumn Festival, another Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Jia’s family was already in turmoil. Jia’s mother tried her best to organize a reunion banquet. At the reunion banquet, you will find that the seating is very strange. The people sitting on Jia’s right are all directly related to her. Character, who is sitting?It was Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan. How could there be no Jia Amnesty?Jia She should sit on her right, the first one, he is the boss.But Jia She is sitting on her left. Who are the people on the left besides Jia She?Of course there is Jia Lian, there is his son, and there are Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, obviously they are all collateral characters, aren't they?What's going on?Cao Xueqin is fictional, he is artistically imagining, how could he think like this? In fact, the reason is very simple. Cao Xueqin wrote it like this because he was too loyal to the prototype of life, and he was too realistic.This mystery was revealed long ago by Mr. Zhou Ruchang through rigorous research.This is because the historical archetype of Cao Yin has been downplayed in the novel. It is Jia Daishan, leaving only a fictitious name; Cao Yin gave birth to a son, Cao Yong, so Emperor Kangxi liked the Cao family very much, and Cao Yin died. Later, Kangxi asked his son to continue to work as a weaver in Jiangning, which was a fat job, and let him own the property.But Cao Yong was disappointing. He was very talented and had a good reputation, but his health was not good, and he died of illness within a few years of working.Cao Yin's wife is the prototype of Jia's mother in the book. Not only has she become a widow, but she also has no sons. If Cao Yin's family is weaving, there will be no males.But at that time, Kangxi really liked the Cao family, and he also especially liked Li Xu, who was the prototype of Jia's mother, Li Shi, her natal brother, so Kangxi asked Li Xu personally, saying, "Look at Cao Yin's nephew, if there is any good one?" , to choose an adoptive son for Cao Yin, although this person is dead, he can still adopt a son in name, so that he can serve the Li family and take over the Jiangning weaving.Later, Li Xu carefully helped him choose Cao Fu, who was Cao Yin's nephew, and adopted Cao Fu to Cao Yin, that is, to Li Shi as her son, and Cao Fu gave birth to another son. His son, Cao Zhan, is Cao Xueqin, the prototype of Jia Baoyu. Of course, whether Cao Xueqin was born by Cao Fu is controversial in the red academic circles. The situation, his father was adopted to his grandmother, such a real situation, to write a book.After clarifying this point, when you look back, you feel that it is too realistic. He wrote that the relationship between Jia Mu and Jia Zheng is very weak. Jia Mu likes her grandson, because according to the concept of feudal society, if a son is not If the biological one is adopted, then the grandson must be the biological one.The son came here only when he was older, and it was difficult for the two parties to discuss the relationship of flesh and blood. The grandson was brought up since he was a child, and he could be kept from him since he was a child, right?It's another thing for you to tell him when he grows up or find out by himself, and you can treat him as a continuation of your own flesh and blood.So you see, why Cao Xueqin wrote this is because he has a life prototype. His father Cao Fu is the prototype of Jia Zheng. Therefore, in the novel, Jia Zheng lives in the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.In fact, there is only such an adopted son in Rongguo Mansion, why did he write about Jia Amnesty?This point is that he has used his artistic imagination and his artistic fiction. If it is too faithful to the reality of life, it will be troublesome to write, so he merged it into the same category, because Jia Amnesty is indeed Jia Zheng’s brother in the novel. , In the life prototype, he is indeed Cao Fu's elder brother. He and Jia Zheng are brothers, but he did not adopt Jia Mu, understand?How could he live in the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion if he didn't adopt to Jia Mu?Of course he lives in another courtyard, understand the logic.Because Cao Xueqin was too loyal to the prototype of life, he wrote and wrote like this. Cao Xueqin’s main motivation for writing about Jia She, I think, is that he wanted to capitalize Wang Xifeng, the archetypal character in real life, which made him unforgettable and unforgettable, and he wanted to give a picture of this popular hero.The cousin sister-in-law in real life was originally a daughter-in-law of his uncle's family who was not adopted by his father. In the novel, Jiamu’s own son is included, which is more convenient to write, and can produce more stories, such as mandarin ducks resisting marriage and so on.On the one hand, Cao Xueqin used the fictional technique of the novel, on the other hand, he recorded many situations in the original ecology of life very faithfully. I said, always worry about it here, after all, we are going in the house over there." When talking about the marriage of the young lady in the mansion, how to plan, said, "The second girl is from the old man's side. Calculate".According to his design of the characters in the novel, Wang Xifeng is the daughter-in-law of Jia's mother's eldest grandson, so how could he "eventually" return to "over there"?Yingchun is the eldest granddaughter of Jia Mu's eldest house, how could her marriage have nothing to do with Jia Mu or even the entire Rongguo Mansion?How can it be said that "over there" can be "not counted"?Now we know that he has a prototype for his novels, and it is clear that the prototype of Jia She is Cao Fu’s elder brother who was not adopted to the Li family with him, so the dialogue between Ping’er and Wang Xifeng in the novel is not difficult. You see, that's how people talk about that sort of thing in real life. So let me tell you, all the characters in the movie have prototypes.After talking for a long time, what do I want to say?That is to say, Jia Rong also has a prototype, and Jia Rong's wife Qin Keqing should also have a prototype.我把这个逻辑梳理一遍,你现在听懂了吧,我觉得我这个逻辑起码还是自成方圆的。秦可卿这个人物,她应该也有一个原型。因此,问题就逼到这儿来了,这么样一个写书的人,写贾蓉的媳妇秦可卿,这个角色既然也有原型,那么,秦可卿的原型究竟是谁呢?我下一讲接着讲。
