Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Qin Keqing's Prototype Revealed (Part 1)

After sorting out the last few times, we already know that to find out the prototype of Qin Keqing, we need to find clues from the political struggles of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties.So now it can be said that it is close to the truth.After a lot of "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright", we have come to Qin Keqing's "another village".Let me now review a little bit of my previous discussion on this issue. I first started with the marriage in Jia's house, and approached Qin Keqing's life prototype step by step.Through the first chapter "The Mystery of Jia's Marriage", the second chapter "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Adoption", the third chapter "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Survival" and the fourth chapter "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Birth", I peeled off layers of analysis like bamboo shoots , and finally came to a conclusion that Qin Keqing's real background was not only impossible to be an abandoned baby brought in by the Yangshengtang, but also impossible to grow up in a small official's family and then marry into the Ningguo Mansion. She lost the identity of Jia Rong's wife.Her real background is not only not humble, but even higher than that of the Jia family. It should be said that her background is extremely noble, probably from the palace, and is of the blood of the royal family; the so-called being adopted by a small official means that she has indeed found a small official to come. Cooperation is used as a cover, but fundamentally speaking, it is a smokescreen cast on the outside world.She should have been hidden in Ningguo Mansion when she was very young, carefully cultivated as a child bride-in-law, and has always been connected with her real background family. She should be such a character.Pass Chapter 5 "The Mystery of the Night Police in the Tent Hall", Chapter 6 "The Mystery of the Ups and Downs of the Cao Family", Chapter 7 "The Mystery of the Sun and the Moon", Chapter 8 "The Mystery of Jiang Yuhan" and Chapter 9 "The Mystery of Bei Jing" "The Mystery of the King", I revealed it like a cocoon. Although the excuse has no age to test, in fact, the background of the story told in this book is well-tested.After my research, I came to the conclusion that the social background described was the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. In the book, the three emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong were combined and written together. The "sun" and the potentially hostile political force "moon" constitute a tense situation of "double hanging sun and moon illuminating the universe".In real life, it is the crown prince Yinreng who was defeated by Kangxi, and Yinreng's eldest son Hongxi. Their faction always wanted to overthrow Qianlong. Instead, they were artistically evolved into the book by Cao Xueqin , that is, Prince Yizhong Lao Qiansui, King Beijing Jing, Feng Ziying and so on.There are also characters like King Zhongshun in the book, who are in sharp opposition to King Beijing and the "Yi" faction, or the "Yue" faction. The friction and even conflict between the two sides radiate shock waves all the way to Jia's mansion, causing Baoyu to be killed. Painful whipping, skin torn.All in all, among the royal families of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, there were two hostile political forces, and the life prototype of Qin Keqing was obviously closely related to one of them.

After sorting out in this way, Qin Keqing's life prototype has basically surfaced. However, there are still some crucial doubts in the text that need to be further explored. The deciphering of these doubts plays a key role in revealing Qin Keqing's life prototype.For example, in the third chapter "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Survival", I mentioned that there is one point that is particularly puzzling. If Qin Keqing's background is really so low, how can Jia's mother be so satisfied with her, thinking that she is a great-grandson daughter-in-law? The most proud person in the game?Also, why is Qin Keqing's bedroom furnishings so weird? What is Cao Xueqin implying to readers with such pen and ink?

Qin Keqing appeared in the fifth round, and I have already talked about it a lot.I won’t repeat what I said earlier. From Jia’s mother’s identification of Qin Keqing as the first proud person among her great-grandson’s daughter-in-law, and the layout of Qin Keqing’s bedroom, we vaguely know that Qin Keqing’s background is higher than that of Jia’s family. Bringing benefits, even Jia Mu is proud; and she is very likely to be a princess-level character, at least a princess-level figure, the flesh and blood of the royal family.When analyzing the furnishings of Qin Keqing’s bedroom, I will not repeat what I said before. Now I will make a little addition. When Cao Xueqin wrote the article, he specifically wrote that Qin Keqing arranged for Jia Baoyu to take a nap, and "personally unfolded the gauze quilt that Xizihuan had passed, and moved The mandarin pillow that the matchmaker hugged", remember?And these two things, among other things.As we all know, Xizi is Xi Shi, so I will not discuss it, because everyone is familiar with it, Xi Shi means a kind of political conspiracy, she is not an ordinary woman, she is politically subversive.What about matchmaker?She is not an ordinary girl either. The matchmaker can accomplish good things and is an intermediary that can bring two parties together to benefit both parties.So some codes like this all imply that Qin Keqing's background is higher than that of Jia's family, which contains some kind of political conspiracy color, and can make Jia's family seek benefits from it.

It is often said that when reading the text about Qin Keqing in the novel, they always feel that she is very mysterious.In fact, one of the factors that constitute her mystery is that she contains some kind of political conspiracy color.In the fourth chapter "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Birth", I mentioned a plot, that is, in the seventh chapter of the book, Aunt Xue sent Zhou Rui's family to send palace flowers. Or ridicule or even pickiness, and Qin Keqing's acceptance of the palace flower was not clearly stated; but just this time, there was a poem back to the past, revealing that among all the people who accepted the palace flower, there was a flower cherisher, she There is a special "encounter" relationship with Gonghua, this person "lives in the south of the Yangtze River and his surname is Benqin".I live in Jiangnan, let's not discuss it now, among the recipients of the twelve palace flowers, there is only one person whose surname is Qin, and that is Qin Keqing, right?Since Qin Keqing was originally a member of the palace, and Gong Hua was sent to her, and she and Gong Hua had a happy reunion, why couldn't she disclose her true blood and identity?That should have been an honor!Why hide it?Why is there a smoke screen, saying that she is an abandoned baby in the Yangshengtang, who was adopted by a petty official?It can be seen that there are hidden secrets that cannot be disclosed, and the matter is of great importance.

In the tenth chapter, Qin Keqing suddenly fell ill. What kind of illness he got is very vaguely explained in the book.Feng Ziying recommended to Jia Zhen a gentleman he had studied in his childhood, named Zhang Youshi, who donated an official position to his son in Beijing. "Small and poor sources" plot.Why is Zhang Youshi called Doctor Zhang?What is the deep relationship between him and Qin Keqing? Qin Keqing's illness, at first glance, looks like she is pregnant. Mrs. Xing has made such a judgment, but later we know that she is not pregnant, she has irregular menstruation, endocrine disorders, can't eat and sleep well, people She was exhausted and emaciated. Judging by today's clinical medical point of view, she should have a nervous system problem and a psychological disease, mainly manifested as anxiety and depression.Why did she become anxious and depressed all of a sudden?Didn't the ancestor of the clan, Jiamu, treat her very well, thinking that she was the most proud person; She is very good to her, why are you anxious?Then I wrote that I had to see a doctor because I was sick, so how did I see a doctor for her at that time?Three or four people take turns to see the pulse four or five times a day, which is very strange. How can there be such a doctor? Isn't this tormenting the dead?It is strange to say that I have to change clothes four or five times a day, sit up to see the doctor, and change a set of clothes every time I see the doctor.It is strange to get sick, and the way to see a doctor is also very strange.

Finally came a Zhang Youshi.We know that Chinese people's names are all homophonic and metaphorical. Sometimes a person's name has the same meaning, and sometimes several people's names combine to have the same meaning. "Zhang Youshi" obviously means "" something" sound of these two words.So what's the matter with this surnamed Zhang?I have already pointed it out earlier, the tenth chapter reads "Mr. Suddenly, he ran to Jia's mansion and Ningguo mansion as the imperial physician.What's his business, what's his business?What kind of disease is he talking about when he talks about the source of the disease?What is the source of poverty?Worth exploring.

After studying the text carefully, I feel that the prototype of Qin Keqing's character is not only a member of the royal family, but also a member of the unsatisfactory branch of the royal family.She is a figure with a certain conspiratorial identity, she has the role of a matchmaker between the royal family and the Jia family, and has the role of a medium; her illness, her sudden anxiety and depression, are not because of the Jia family's People treated her badly, but because of an important message from someone in her own background, this should be an ominous message that the outcome is uncertain, and it is likely that she will lose temporarily.

And at this time, a heavyweight came to see her suddenly.On the surface, this character is said to be a friend of Feng Ziying, and his purpose is to go to Beijing to donate an official position to his son, but he has a strange identity as an imperial physician, so I estimate that this character will definitely appear as an imperial physician after eighty chapters; otherwise Among so many ancient books, there were originally so many chapters with different words, but in the three characters of "Zhang Taiyi", all the ancient books are consistent. There are red fans down there nodding their heads slightly, saying yes, imperial physician, only the emperor can set up an imperial hospital, and the doctors there can be called imperial physicians, right?How can this friend Feng Ziying be called an imperial physician?In the text, several official imperial physicians are mentioned.For a family like the Jia Mansion, if the master in the mansion is sick, he has the right to have the imperial hospital send an imperial doctor to see him. This can also be said to be a kind of welfare bestowed by the emperor on these high-ranking slaves who have been ennobled. They can enjoy the medical treatment of the imperial doctor.The forty-second chapter writes that Jia Mu is not in good health, and invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital, wearing a sixth-rank official uniform.When Jia Mu saw him, she was in a big way, and asked what his last name was, and when he said Wang, Jia Mu put on her old qualifications and said, "Wang Junxiao, who is in the main hall of the Imperial Hospital, has a good pulse." It's the uncle of the late-born family."You see, imperial physicians have to wear official uniforms, and it is very common for the Jia family to invite imperial physicians to see a doctor. In such a comparison, Zhang Youshi is too wrong. How can such a person be identified as an imperial physician in retrospect?

We have already mentioned in the last few lectures, in real life, who is there who set up the Seventh Department of the House of Internal Affairs and set up a series of palace-like institutions that are exactly the same as the emperor?This person is none other than Hong Xi.This person is the son of the abolished prince, and in terms of blood, he is the eldest grandson of Kangxi.He was living in Zhengjiazhuang at the time, and his identity was the prince, but he set up various institutions for himself according to the palace's specifications, so since he can set up the Seventh Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can also set up an institution to treat himself, which is called Tai Hospital .Therefore, from the reality of life to the reality of art, Cao Xueqin conceived such a character, and this Zhang Youshi should be a character from this system.That is to say, the prototype of Zhang Youshi's life should be a character in the imperial hospital set up by Hongxi in the small imperial court established without authorization in Zhengjiazhuang.Such a character becomes a character who participates in conspiracy activities in the novel, so after he entered the capital, of course he could not publicly say that I come from another imperial court, and I am an imperial physician there, so he said that he was a donated official in Beijing .Whose house do you live in?Live at Feng Ziying's home.This is what we have repeatedly mentioned before. There are two political forces in the book, one is composed of Prince Yizhong Lao Qiantui and his sympathizers and protectors. The "Shun" school represented by Zhongshun Wangfu.This Zhang Youshi is obviously a figure in the "righteousness" school, and he is in the same group as Feng Ziying. Therefore, in the tenth chapter, he appeared in front of Qin Keqing, gave her pulse and saw a doctor.

Zhang Youshi, who appeared as an imperial doctor, gave Qin Keqing his pulse and saw the disease, and then listed a long prescription.Red scholars have different opinions on the plot of Zhang Youshi's practice of medicine.Some people think that this plot does not have any special intentions, and the politeness of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to this wandering doctor in the book only reflects that people at that time respected amateurs rather than professionals; There is no deeper content to be tested in the playful impromptu pen and ink; as for the prescriptions in the book, they are just used by the author to show his profound knowledge, and there is no need to go deep into it.However, I would like to ask, if this is the case, why did Cao Xueqin put so much effort into writing "Mr.Is there any secret hidden in the prescription?

Zhiyanzhai's comments revealed that there were many prescriptions in it. It is said that when Lin Daiyu was writing, from the twenty-third chapter onwards, a prescription was prescribed every time to show that Lin Daiyu's illness was getting worse.This fat batch is now reserved. After the twenty-eighth chapter, it said that "rewriting prescriptions since the chapter of 'Wenqu' is just a simple description of the disease." "Wenqu" means that after Lin Daiyu buried the flowers, she heard twelve opera girls practicing singing from Lixiangyuan. She was fascinated when she heard the melody.However, in the ancient books we have seen, there is no prescription for Lin Daiyu; therefore, some experts believe that the sentence in the fat comment should be "Since the 'Wenqu' came back, the medicine was written back, and it was just a white description." Tim sickness."But in the text we see now, it is not written back and forth about the medicine related to Lin Daiyu. This shows that Cao Xueqin adjusted the written text back and forth in the process of reading for ten years and adding and deleting five times. All other prescriptions in the book have been deleted, and the text about Lin Daiyu's medication has also been simplified. Now, in the first eighty chapters we have seen, the only prescriptions prescribed as the author's narrative text are Zhang Youshi prescribed this one for Qin Keqing.When Cao Xueqin adjusted the text back and forth, he never deleted this prescription, and kept it there, read silently by generations of readers, which also caused many red scholars, including folk red scholars, to explore it. No deep meaning?What kind of information does it convey? We all know that Cao Xueqin has a habitual way of writing, which is to use homophony and the so-called splitting method to create metaphors.The homonym is easy to understand, what is a split character?For example, in the album of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, it is written that Wang Xifeng said, "One obedience, two orders, three people wood".is not it? Let's not analyze "one obedience and two orders" now. "Sanrenmu" is a method of dismantling characters, and "renmu" is the word "Xiu". He was divorced by Jia Lian.He often uses methods such as homonyms and split characters in the text to reveal some information to readers. Therefore, many researchers follow this path to explore the prescription of Dr. Zhang.Some people have even cracked the entire prescription. I also study this prescription, but I am still immature, so I won’t talk about it here. I will only talk about the first few herbs in the prescription.What did the first few medicines say?Ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Yunling, Rehmannia glutinosa, Guishen.I also think that, in fact, this prescription should be a list of secret words that Qin Keqing's real family background revealed when she secretly communicated with Ningguo Mansion. Zhang Youshi came to see Qin Keqing and dropped a prescription. The prescription was scary at first, because Jia Rong asked him after he saw the doctor, whether our patient can recover. Everyone should remember what Zhang Youshi said. , Zhang Youshi said that it is not an overnight symptom that people are sick to this extent. "In my opinion, this year's winter is irrelevant. It is always after the vernal equinox." These are some slang words, aren't they? ?Why is it slang?Because after Cao Xueqin wrote this sentence, he also said in the narration that he said that Jia Rong is also a sensible person, so he didn't ask further questions.Understand, this kind of narrative text tells you that this statement is not the words of a normal doctor. In fact, what he conveyed is some kind of non-medical diagnosis information.Therefore, from such a text, we can further judge that Qin Keqing's prototype should belong to a branch of the royal family. When the current emperor was in power, it was a branch that was attacked and excluded; Not reconciled, he wanted to make a comeback and overthrow the current emperor's throne.In this conspiratorial group, there are various characters, Zhang Youshi is one of them, he is responsible for coming to Ningguo Mansion and secretly contacting Qin Keqing.In this way, Qin Keqing's true royal identity became clearer. If the first sentence of this prescription is to be explained in a homophonic way, ginseng and atractylodes, according to my thinking, should represent her parents; if the parents are gone, it represents her parents. ", which may also represent her brother and sister-in-law; or her father is gone, her mother is still there, and her brother is still there, which means her mother and elder brother.Ginseng, this ginseng, can be understood as stars in the sky. People have turned into stars and are high above. I think it can be understood as a symbol of elders; Coming to Beijing from the south, he still retains many pronunciation habits of Jiangnan people. Zhang Ailing gave many examples in her book. The pronunciation of zhu (second tone) in Wu dialect is very similar to "Su", so As a slang word, "Baishu" can also be understood as "Baisu", and "Xu" also means stars. The stars in the daytime, of course, the correct pronunciation of the word "Xu" in "XingXiu" should be pronounced as xiu (p. four tones).In short, I think both "Shen" and "Shu" imply the meaning of stars. I have already revealed that in the text, the moon is a metaphor for the prince, and the stars and the moon shine together. The meanings of Xingyue and Xingyue are interlinked in the joint poem, so I think the first four characters in this prescription represent the elders in Qin Keqing's family, her parents, and her elder brother. If it is difficult to understand the homophonic escape of the first two medicines, then I will separate the two characters of the third medicine and connect them with the two medicines before and after to form a sentence, then the meaning is very straightforward, it is like this of: Ginseng and Atractylodes cloud: Lingshu returns to the body. It means that her parents said to tell her the following sentence. To be honest, her parents may also feel very heavy. Order her, at the critical moment, in the familiar place where she grew up, to end her life.Why?During the power struggle of the royal family, her family made a terrible decision to ask her to sacrifice herself, delaying the opportunity for both sides to fight in order to succeed, so she later mourned in Tianxianglou, painting Liangchun to fall into the dust.Her illness turned out to be a political disease, and her death turned out to be due to a political reason. This is how this character is in the book.In the next few lectures, I will talk about why she had to die, why after she died, Prince Yizhong and the old Chitose faction had a chance to breathe; and her death, although the big fight between the two sides was delayed, the struggle is still going on. Continue; in the end, her matter is still being pursued by the "present day", "the moon falls and the sky is full of frost", the sun has won an absolute victory, and the Jia's mansion in the book is completely overthrown, which should also be the entire "righteousness" "The death of the word school, "The bones are like a mountain and the surname is forgotten, nothing more than the son and the red makeup", "The white land is so clean."With that out of the way, we get closer to her living archetype. When Zhang Youshi prescribed the medicine, it meant that her parents and elder brother were in a difficult situation. Not only were they rejected by the current emperor, but if they wanted to seize power further, there were many obstacles and it was difficult to succeed. Sometimes they even had to sacrifice something, even At the expense of his own daughter, his own sister.The text this time is shrouded in heavy shadows, and the tone is very heavy. How can it be said that it is a game pen and ink without deep meaning? Of course, I have not been very sure about Zhang Youshi's interpretation of the prescription so far, and these thoughts are only for your reference.I am quite sure about the overall judgment of my prototype research, but when it comes to the interpretation of this prescription, I can only provide a preliminary idea now. Not long after Zhang Youshi saw his illness, Qin Keqing died.Zhang Youshi didn't point out what kind of disease Qin Keqing had. He just said, "Winter this year is irrelevant. You can expect to recover after the spring equinox." It's a big problem, it will get better soon.But shortly thereafter, Qin Keqing chose to die.Why is that? And why did Zhang Youshi say "winter this year is irrelevant", why is winter irrelevant, and why "healing is always expected after the vernal equinox"?And when Qin Keqing's death is written later, you can feel that it is vaguely when the wind blows, it should be in autumn, why is the fate of such a character always decided in spring and autumn? In the previous lectures, I have pointed out that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had a very important activity, that is, the hunting of magnolias in spring and autumn. Of course, autumn is the most important one, but spring is also sometimes visited.So generally speaking, winter is relatively calm, because when Mulan is in autumn, especially when hunting on a small scale in spring, the opposition is the easiest to attack, and it is easiest to set off a righteous act, the so-called gathering of righteousness, and then make trouble. To subvert the imperial power.Therefore, the character in the novel, the person who sees her is actually a spy sent by her family to tell her. Of course, this is said in front of Jia Rong. This winter is irrelevant. In winter, both sides may stand still; "It is always possible to recover after the vernal equinox." If the emperor's hunt in spring is fully prepared in this regard, the emperor may be killed.After an unexpected event, this faction can take power.Then think about it now, the episode I mentioned in the last lecture was Feng Ziying saying that he went to the paddock with his father in the spring. Is there such a plot?Think about it, right?He went back and forth for at least a week, or even a month, with minor injuries on his face. He was very unlucky, but he came back again.This shows that they tried once, and that story should have happened in the first year of Qianlong. In the spring of that year, the "Yi" faction gathered strength once and tried once, but failed.Of course, the story of Qin Keqing's death happened before the plot I mentioned, which shows that every time the emperor went out to hunt, the opposition had either surveyed the terrain and made advance preparations, or never From ready to move to squirming, to making a move, I have made some attempts, but they have all been thwarted.Fortunately, it has not been completely detected by the emperor, and they have not suffered a devastating blow, so they can only adopt the method of shrinking, sacrificing some interests, and even sacrificing some of their own people, to maintain a once again accumulating strength. situation.So you see, behind these descriptions, there are many, many things to think about. Therefore, we can know that Qin Keqing's prototype should be an unfortunate princess.If her family ascends to the throne, she will be a serious princess.What she suffered from was a political disease. The royal family she belonged to was at a disadvantage in the power struggle, and her family failed to succeed after several attacks on the throne, so a very bad message was sent to her, that is When necessary, let her take care of the overall situation and commit suicide, thinking that it is a way to delay the army.This is the embarrassing situation of the character Qin Keqing in the novel; her prototype should be similar in life, in a very difficult situation. In Qin Keqing's case, apart from her confusing life experience, what makes people gossip more is the relationship between her and her father-in-law Jia Zhen.In the existing texts, the description of this relationship is rather strange, and I specifically raised this point in "The Mystery of Qin Keqing's Survival".Jiao Da, who is upright by nature, scolded clearly at the beginning of the story.Judging from the description in the novel, the ambiguous relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen is already an indisputable fact in Ningguo Mansion, but You Shi, who is a mother-in-law, turns a blind eye, and other people in Jia Mansion are also concerned about it. It is tacit and calm, why is this? In the second half of the seventh chapter, I wrote about Jiao Da drunk and cursing, everyone should be deeply impressed by this.Jiao Dazui scolded two ugly words, one of which I have already analyzed in the previous lectures, and I will not repeat it, it is "climbing ashes, climbing ashes", which is to scold Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing for having an improper relationship.Who is the other one to scold? "He who raises a younger brother-in-law raises a younger brother-in-law", this curse word is more guesswork.Someone speculated that he might scold Sister Feng and Baoyu.Because "little uncle" does not mean uncle, what is "little uncle" in the common saying?When a woman marries a family, her husband's younger brother is called the younger uncle, and the husband's older brother is called the eldest uncle. If there are other older brothers, they are the second uncle and the third uncle, and the younger brother is the younger uncle.Then Wang Xifeng is Jia Baoyu's sister-in-law, and Jia Baoyu is indeed Wang Xifeng's younger brother-in-law, so some people think that this sentence is to scold Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu for having an improper relationship.However, judging from the description in the book, there is insufficient evidence, and it is difficult to say that Jiao Da scolded them both; moreover, it is described in the book that when scolding, everyone heard it. I didn't ask what it meant to raise a brother-in-law. Could it be that Jia Baoyu knew that he was the role of a brother-in-law?Obviously not, so this is also worth scrutinizing. So what is the relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen? This is what readers of all ages are particularly interested in.Hearing someone laughing here, is it because there are erotic descriptions in it, so I am interested?I don't think it is necessarily the case, but because it constitutes a very complex interactive relationship, which is worthy of our exploration.Human existence is difficult, and human nature is complicated. A good writer always writes about the existential crisis of human beings, and about the struggle and comfort between people in survival. So I think we can Here we discuss the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing with confidence. Some red fans still can't forgive Qin Keqing, let alone Jia Zhen, talking about incest, how ugly, isn't it?Jiao Da scolded them, even people of Jiao Da's level scolded him, how can I not scold him for such a high-level person?I have to follow suit!Don't rush to scold me, in fact, you are also a complex being. You have watched the drama "Thunderstorm", probably.This is the work of a modern writer, Cao Yu. It has become a classic of Chinese drama, and it has also been made into a movie and TV series, right?When you watched this play in the theater, you probably had your handkerchief on and wiped the corner of your eye, didn't you? Is there any love in "Thunderstorm"? There is a group of important love in "Thunderstorm" who loves whom?It's the love between Zhou Ping and Fan Yi. What kind of moral order do they have?It is the son who loves the stepmother, the stepmother loves the eldest son of the ex-husband, and the incestuous love. Did you throw the broken shoes on the stage when you watched it?You didn’t throw it away, you understood and sympathized, and you still applauded after the curtain closed, so why are you so accepting of the love between Zhou Ping and Fanyi, and the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing? The earth cannot tolerate it?I think you can calm down and think about it, can't you?We cannot look at this matter or think about this issue from the standpoint of outdated feudal ethics.What's more, after the analysis of my previous lectures, you should already understand that the reason why Qin Keqing came to Jia's mansion was to take refuge. It was because her family lost in the struggle for imperial power. She hid herself, so she falsely claimed that she was an abandoned baby from the Yangshengtang; it was inconvenient to send him directly to Jia's house, Jia Zheng, in the novel it was written that he was a Yuanwailang, Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry, Yuanwailang from the department in charge of engineering construction, So I found a subordinate named Ying Shanlang. Ying Shanlang was a small official in a branch under the Ministry of Industry. This small official was Jia Zheng's direct subordinate. They have a couple of children, one of whom is Qin Keqing, who is temporarily kept in Jia's house.When Qin Keqing was deposited in Jia's house, Jia Zhen was already married and had a You family, so in terms of status, she can only be said to be Jia Rong's wife. In fact, the role of Qin Keqing, the generational level of her life prototype, is of the same generation as Jia Zhen, and the two are not incest.Why do I say this, because I have repeatedly told you in the previous lectures, from the prototype of the life of the characters to the real situation of the Cao family, to the artistic characters in the novel, the generations of the characters are matched, and I repeat here: Yizhong Prince Lao Qiansui, a name that appears in the novel, the prototype of life is the deposed prince of the Kangxi Dynasty, that is, Yinfeng, who was later renamed Yun by Yongzheng, and his son is Hongxi; in the Cao family, like Cao Fu and he followed The deposed prince is of the same generation, which corresponds to Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, and Jia She in the novel; the son Yinfeng gave birth to is Hongxi, and if he gave birth to a daughter, such as Hongxi's younger sister, in the Life should correspond to Cao Xueqin's generation, right?In the novel, it corresponds to Jia Baoyu's generation.Who is Jia Baoyu's generation in the novel?In Ningguo Mansion is Jia Zhen, and in Rongguo Mansion there are Jia Lian and Jia Huan.So, if Qin Keqing's life prototype is from the family of the abolished prince, and if she is a younger sister of Hongxi, then her generation is moved into the novel, and she is of the same generation as Jia Zhen, and the same generation as Baoyu .Do you understand my logic?Therefore, why Cao Xueqin writes about the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing is because in his mind, he does not think it is an incestuous relationship, he just thinks it is a deformed love, a deformed love. From the description in the novel, it can be vaguely felt that Qin Keqing is actually older than Jia Rong and older than Jia Baoyu.Of course she is younger than Jia Zhen, she should be about twenty years old when she appeared on the stage.When she was deposited in Jia's mansion, she probably belonged to Jia Zhen's generation, and Jia Zhen knew about it.She and Jia Rong are husband and wife by name. In the novel, you can see that Jia Rong and Qin Keqing have no sign of living together in the same room.The fifth chapter wrote that Baoyu was going to take a nap, Qin Keqing first took him "to the inner room of the upper room", which may be the house of Jia Zhen and You Shi, and Baoyu didn't like the atmosphere there, so Qin Keqing said, "Or go to my room." ".At this time, it was also written that a nanny interrupted, and she felt it was wrong, so she couldn't help admonishing Qin Keqing. In at least two ancient books, the words of admonishment said: "There is an uncle who visits his nephew and daughter-in-law. A gift to go to sleep in the room?" It is also written in the passbook now, but Qin Keqing didn't care, so he took Baoyu to her bedroom.It should be noted that the book repeatedly emphasizes that it is Qin Keqing's bedroom, but does not mention Jia Rong's bedroom.According to the rules and language habits of the feudal society in the past, it cannot be said that this bedroom belongs to the daughter-in-law. It must be named after the husband, for example, Jia Zheng's room, Jia Amnesty's inner room, and so on.But Qin Keqing said publicly that it was her bedroom.This shows that she has a very unique way of life in Ningguo Mansion, she mostly lives in her own room, and she and Jia Rong are just couples in name, and this should be clear to everyone in the mansion. Of course, in Ningguo Mansion, there should also be a room for Jia Rong. When necessary, Qin Keqing will also be there. It is written in the book that Zhang Youshi came to see Qin Keqing and used that space; Sometimes Jia Rong would also go. For example, Wang Xifeng and Baoyu went to visit the sick Qin Keqing, and Jia Rong also accompanied them in; but the relationship between Jia Rong and Qin Keqing in the book is quite ambiguous. The reason why Jiao Da jumped up and scolded, of course, was because the housekeeper actually assigned him a hard job, and he was drunk.But Jiao Da is a person who followed Ning Guogong and made great contributions to the royal family. He is politically savvy. When he scolded "climbing ashes, climbing ashes", of course he scolded Jia Zhen, because Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing are daughters-in-law in terms of their names. , Stealing a daughter-in-law is wrong, and he should know Qin Keqing's true identity, he knows the weight of hiding Qin Keqing, he thinks that since you, Jia Zhen, hid Qin Keqing as Jia Rong's daughter-in-law, you should be responsible, you should Playing the role of father-in-law well, in order to wait for Qin Keqing's family to win the final victory, to win the breath of Ning Guogong's spirit in the sky, but "there are these beasts that have been born to the present", and they are all prodigal sons. Jia Zhen is the first prodigal beast , you are messing around with Qin Keqing, you ruined a big deal! 那他骂“养小叔子的养小叔子”，骂的是谁呢？我认为，他骂的是秦可卿和贾宝玉。他知道秦可卿和宝玉是一辈的，秦可卿实际上是贾珍隐秘的妻子，他门儿清，他清楚，宝玉是贾珍的弟弟，堂弟，是她的小叔子。即使不去考虑贾珍跟秦可卿的隐秘关系，就从秦可卿家族辈分与贾氏家族辈分的匹配关系上看，秦可卿主动去跟贾宝玉发生关系，不管她嫁的是谁，都是养小叔子的行为。注意，“爬灰的爬灰”，谴责的重点在偷媳的公公，而“养小叔子的养小叔子”，谴责的重点不在小叔子，而在那个越轨的女性。焦大因为知道秦可卿以矮一辈的身份藏匿在宁国府，是负有使命的，她应该静待她家族的胜利消息，应该最后为贾家带来好处，然而他发现这个女子竟然置自己的神圣使命不顾，在自己的卧室里跟贾宝玉乱搞，他真是痛心疾首啊！ 书里写到，焦大骂时还说“我要往祠堂里哭太爷去”，最后还高喊，“我什么不知道！咱们'胳膊折了往袖子里藏'！”只差一点，他就忍不住要把秦可卿的真实出身叫嚷出来了，由于众小厮往他嘴里填满了土和马粪，才算中止了他的叫骂。曹雪芹写这一段，显然，是有他的深意的。 秦可卿这个形象，曹雪芹写她，确实有不安分的一面，往好了说，是浪漫，往坏了说，就是淫荡。有红迷朋友问，如果秦可卿真是皇家的骨血，藏匿到宁国府以后，贾珍怎么敢欺负她呢？贾珍是一个七情六欲都很旺盛的男子，颇有阳刚之气，胆大妄为，恣行无忌，虽然他知道藏匿秦可卿事关重大，但当秦可卿一天天在他眼前长大，出落得风流袅娜以后，他是无法克制自己的情欲的；而且他会觉得，关起宁国府大门，在那高高的围墙里，他怎么行事谁也管不着他，他也并不以为那就会坏掉宗族所期待的“好事”。而且，曹雪芹虽然对贾珍、秦可卿的恋情写得很含蓄，由于后来又删去了大段文字，更令人如堕雾中，但我们读那些有关的文字，还是能品出味来，就是秦可卿对贾珍，有主动的一面，很难说是贾珍强迫了她。这就跟《雷雨》里的繁漪和周萍一样，很难说究竟谁欺负了谁，谁勾引了谁。我觉得，曹雪芹他其实是很客观地来对待贾珍和秦可卿之间的恋情，什么应该不应该的，他们就那么相互爱恋了。生活，人性，就那么复杂，那么诡谲。 我们还要注意到，在第五回里面，警幻仙姑密授贾宝玉云雨之事，把其妹可卿许配与他，其实就是暗写，秦可卿作为宝玉的性启蒙者，使他尝到云雨情，所以之后贾宝玉和袭人不是一试云雨情，而是二试了，过去有的评家老早指出过这一点了。有的读者对曹雪芹这样写，当然是扑朔迷离的文本，也不大能接受，觉得那不是流氓教唆吗？其实在中国古典文学里面，在以前的白话小说里，像，写性爱，是非常直露的，甚至可以说是相当的色情。干净得太多了，色情文字很少，就是写到性行为，也尽量含蓄。比如周瑞家的送宫花，大中午的，贾琏戏熙凤，他完全是暗场处理，脂砚斋说那是一种“柳藏鹦鹉语方知”的手法；还有一处，他写贾琏忽然跟王熙凤说：“只是昨儿晚上，我不过要改个样儿，你就扭手扭脚的。”凤姐嗤的一声笑了，啐了他一口，低下头便吃饭。这种含蓄的写法，是对那类作品的极大超越，是以情色文字，替代了色情文字。当然也有个别地方，可以说比较色情，如写贾琏跟多姑娘偷情，但那是为了塑造贾琏这个艺术形象服务的，还引出了贾母“从小儿世人都打这么过的”著名议论，使我们知道那个时代的主流观念，骨子里究竟是些什么。简言之，写性，都是为塑造人物服务的，他写贾宝玉在梦中被警幻仙姑以可卿加以点化，初尝性爱滋味，是为了展示贾宝玉这个人物的身心发展历程。他写这一笔，告诉我们贾宝玉生理上成熟了，但这时贾宝玉只是跟袭人偷尝禁果；他后来又写到贾宝玉心理的成熟和情感的成熟，与林黛玉之间有了真正的爱情，但对林黛玉没有一点轻佻的表现，那完全是精神上的共鸣，升华到圣洁的层次。因此，不能认为他写秦可卿对贾宝玉的性启蒙，是猥亵性的低俗文字。 秦可卿的“擅风情，秉月貌”，她与贾珍的暧昧关系，在宁国府并不是什么了不得的秘密。焦大醉骂，上下人等都听见了，尤氏当然也听见了，但尤氏无所谓，或许她心里不痛快，但表面上她不动声色，因为尤氏是一个深明大义的人，她知道，这个女子养在家里面，决定着宁国府今后的前途。万一秦可卿的背景家族获得了政权，那么他们就是开国功臣之一，他们保存了这个家族宝贵的血脉，他们的荣华富贵就会升级，所以她对贾珍和秦可卿之间的暧昧关系，在秦可卿死去之前，她都容忍。只是在秦可卿死了以后，他们所期盼的“好事”不幸“终了”，她才撂了挑子，说自己胃痛旧疾复发，躺在床上再不起来，后来是由王熙凤过来，张罗本来该由她张罗的丧事。贾蓉也是一样，王熙凤也是一样，他们都听到焦大醉骂，他们不能容忍焦大再骂，却一样也容忍了贾珍与秦可卿的非正当关系，为什么？那理由跟尤氏是一样的。我们这样来读这些文字的话，就会有豁然贯通之感。 所以贾珍在秦可卿死了之后，他不掩饰他对秦可卿的痛惜，哭得泪人一般，还有一句话叫做恨不能代秦氏之死，如果仅仅是爱情，何至于到这个地步，是不是？他觉得这是葬送了宁国府很重大的政治前程，他很痛心，他说“合家大小、远近亲友谁不知道我这媳妇比儿子还强十倍，如今伸腿去了，可见这长房内绝灭无人了”。然后别人问他怎么料理，他说“如何料理，不过尽我所有罢了”，还是拍着手，不是压低声音偷偷地说，他公开说，他不在乎。 秦可卿死了以后，她睡在一个什么棺木里面？就睡在薛蟠提供的，坏了事的义忠亲王老千岁所留下的，那珍贵的樯木所制成的棺材里面。她叶落归根了。这时候她真实的家族血缘实际上就揭示出来了。下一讲我就会告诉你，秦可卿的真实身份。
