Chapter 3 Chapter Three: The Mystery of Jia Baoyu's Personality (Part 2)

At the end of the last lecture, I asked, if one of the eighty chapters of the book can be found that most concentratedly shows the complexity of Jia Baoyu’s personality, which one is the most suitable one?This is actually a question that can have many answers, because the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom. Every reader has different feelings and choices.I am going to tell you my feelings now. I think the 30th chapter is the one that most concentratedly shows all aspects of Jia Baoyu's personality. Please listen to me to tell you about my reading experience.This time the title is "Baochai borrows a fan machine to bring double-knocking senior officials to draw Qiang Chi and outsiders". Of course, some ancient books have a different title this time, but the difference is not very big.Among them, it is worth mentioning that some ancient books do not talk about age officials, but write Chunling.Why Tsubaki?The book didn't mention that her name was Chunling, it only said that she was given a stage name with official characters like other little girls who were bought to sing.But I think that the word Chunling in this chapter is not a typo or accidental, but a foreshadowing.Later, because the old concubine was murdered in the imperial court, opera singing was not allowed in the noble family, and the concubine Yuan no longer visited relatives, so the Jia family dismissed the little opera singers in Lixiangyuan they raised.One of them died, so don't forget about it, and the remaining eight were willing to stay and be maids, so they were divided into various houses.The book also lists the list and whereabouts of the eight officials, and there are no age officials, treasure officials, and jade officials in it.Where did the senior officer go?Did she marry Jia Qiang, or did she have some other destiny?I haven't written it in the eighty chapters, but it is estimated that after the eighty chapters, Cao Xueqin will still have her in her works, and why she can be called Chunling, we will definitely let us understand at that time.

By the way, the recitations are all eight characters and two sentences, but the rhythm of recitation of each eight characters is different.For example, "Zhen Shiyin-Dream-Psychic Jia Yucun-Fengchen-Huaixiuxiu" is the rhythm of AAA-BB-CCC.This rhythm is the most recalled, but there are also other rhythms.For example, "Grandma in the village—yes—speaking out of love with elder brother—bias—finding out the truth" is the rhythm of AAA—B—CCCC; —BBBB" rhythm; what about "Baochai borrows a fan machine to bring double-knocking senior officials to draw Qiang Chi and outsiders"?I think the pronunciation of these two sentences is not symmetrical. The first sentence is AA-BBB-CCC rhythm, which is read as "Baochai-borrowing a fan machine-with double knocking", and the latter sentence is read as "Lingguan- Draw Qiang—crazy and outsider”, is the rhythm of AA—BB—CCCC.Some people may disagree with such a careful reading, but I personally think that this is also very meaningful, from which we can experience our mother tongue, square characters, its beautiful sounds and rhythms.For example, such a recollection as "Love and good night, flowers explaining words, lingering tranquility, jade and fragrance" are actually beautiful poems.It is very important to read and appreciate the artistic conception of the purpose of the chapter to understand the content of each chapter.A friend of mine often discusses with me, such as "unworthy kinds of great commitments", he thinks it should be read as "unworthy kinds of big commitments". The "unworthy kind" of course refers to Jia Baoyu, and "the kind of big bearer" refers to the one who beat him up and was beaten up by the master.What do you think of his insights?Maybe you think reading it like this is a dead end, so you can enjoy it according to your own reading method.

No matter how you read it, chapter 30 will never skip the reading, right?This time, in terms of time, it was from noon to afternoon in a summer day, and the total time flow was about three hours. Although there were several changes in the location and scene, it was nothing more than a space like the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion. , the storyline is uninterrupted.I think that what is described this time can basically be divided into five acts.In the first scene, the time is before noon, before everyone goes to Jiamu's place for lunch.When the story develops to this time, although there is a Grand View Garden, there is no kitchen in the Grand View Garden, and Baoyu, Dai, Chai, etc. who live in it still have to go out of the garden to go to the room if they want to eat.The location is in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The story of this scene follows the previous one.In the last time, Taoist Zhang proposed marriage to Jia Baoyu because he went to Qingxu Temple to have a wedding ceremony, and Baoyu got a golden unicorn from there.Originally, the shadow of "gold and jade marriage" brought by Xue Baochai's golden locks had already made Lin Daiyu worry, one gold was not removed, and another gold was given out, so Daiyu and Baoyu had an awkward relationship, and this time it would be a big one. It is said that it was the most violent one among the eighty episodes, and it finally alarmed Jia Mu, who said that they were "not friends who don't get together", she was so anxious that she shed tears.In this scene, Bao and Dai met under such a premise. It was Baoyu who took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to make peace with Daiyu.With Daiyu's character, her heart was obviously active, and she felt Baoyu's true feelings for her, but she still wanted to say something to stimulate Baoyu. Saying that you are dead, I will be a monk-this is of course not only a manifestation of Baoyu's unscrupulous words in a hurry, but also a foreshadowing.Because according to Cao Xueqin's idea, Baoyu should become a monk twice after eighty times, and the first time he became a monk was because of Daiyu's death.This time, there are also some conversations between the two people, as well as detailed descriptions of their body language. Among them, it is written that when Daiyu saw Baoyu wipe her tears with the sleeves of a brand-new gauze shirt, she put herself on a silk handkerchief on the pillow , Pick it up and fall into Baoyu's arms.Baoyu wiped away his tears and moved closer to the front, so, it should be said that there was a thrilling scene in the eighty chapters of the book——Baoyu stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's hand, and the two of them each had a sentence.You may remember what I said. If you don’t remember, you can check the book. Here I mainly want to emphasize to you that this is the only physical contact that Baoyu took the initiative to make out with Daiyu in the eighty chapters of the book.Moreover, we can know from the following plots that what Daiyu said about his proactive physical contact was another matter. In fact, she did not refuse, and she did not immediately shake off Baoyu or pull out her hand.

Some people may say that in that era and society, men and women could not kiss each other, and when young masters and young ladies talked about love, they could express affection with their eyebrows, but how dare they touch their bodies? This is a routine, and there is nothing to analyze.But noble sons, as the saying goes, the dragon has nine sons, the sons are different, and the style of doing things is not exactly the same.For example, Jia Rong, whom I mentioned earlier, is younger than Baoyu but older than Baoyu. He is the noble son of the third generation in the Ningguo Mansion.In the sixth chapter, as soon as Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, Cao Xueqin described him through Grandma Liu's eyes as having a handsome face, a handsome figure, a light fur belt, and a beautiful dress.Does this son abide by the code of conduct between men and women?In the sixty-third chapter, he wrote that his grandfather passed away. He went home for the funeral, met two aunts, flirted with each other, and even rolled into the arms of Second Sister You. After all, the two are from the family of the aunts, and he actually left the two aunts and hugged the girl and kissed, saying my heart, what you said is that we covet her two, the situation is unsightly.Of course, this is not about love, but it is about love - if Jia Rong can really have a decent love, it is estimated that he will not be gentle, and he must also have a lot of body language.Jia Baoyu enjoys more privileges of noble sons, if he really wants to do something, he may not be unable to give it a try.He had tried to follow Xiren a long time ago, and it was no secret later on.Qingwen said long before she lived in the Grand View Garden, I know all about your tricksters.Although this was not directed at the attackers, when Baoyu heard it, he was speechless.Later in Yihong Courtyard, Qingwen even said to Xiren simply, don't teach me to be ashamed of you, even if you did it secretly, you can't hide it from me, and Xiren was so angry that his face turned purple Get up, but there is nothing you can do.

What do I say this for?I actually want to emphasize that when Cao Xueqin wrote about the love affair between Baoyu and Daiyu, he wrote a kind of holy love. In the time of "The lingering tranquility of the day and the fragrance of the jade", the two of them were on the same bed, and you can see how they get along, both intimate and pure.Of course, readers know that the author has a mythical presupposition, that is, they are two beings descended from the sky.However, once Shenying's attendants and Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass go down to earth, except for the occasional sleepwalking and the return of their souls to the sky, they are in the Rongguo Mansion, in the Grand View Garden, and in the world, and they don't know their origins. .Therefore, their love is mainly due to spiritual resonance and a mutual attraction between opposite sexes.The spiritual resonance between the two of them has been pointed out by many people, and readers can make their own judgments, so I won't go into details here.Now I want to get rid of some misunderstandings and misunderstandings. For example, some people think that the two jades only have spiritual resonance and no physical attraction. In that case, they are not so much lovers as comrades in arms.Baoyu loves sister Lin, of course, loves both soul and flesh.As mentioned in the previous lecture, Jia Baoyu is a physically and psychologically mature man, not without "sexual interest", not sexually ignorant, impotent, nor a homosexual who refuses women to seek men in terms of sexual orientation. Women's physical beauty is emotional and impulsive.For example, in the twenty-eighth chapter, he asked Xue Baochai to take off the red musk string on his wrist for him to take a closer look. Looking at her snow-white crisp arm, she unconsciously felt envious, thinking to herself, if this arm should grow on Sister Lin, or if you have to touch it, it would grow on Sister Bao.This is a description of Baoyu's sexual psychology, which is very accurate.

Jia Baoyu loves Lin Daiyu to the point of being engraved in his heart. That time, Baoyu said, "My dear sister, I have never dared to say what is on my mind. Today I speak out boldly, and I am willing to die!"What's on your mind?He said, I also got a whole body of illness here for you, and I dare not tell anyone, so I had to hide it!I will never forget you even in my sleep or in my dreams! ——What a thrilling statement!This shows that he has more than just an ideological like-mindedness towards Sister Lin. Cao Xueqin wrote that Baoyu loves Daiyu as a love of soul and flesh. !Of course, when Baoyu uttered these lightning-like words, Daiyu had already walked away. He was in a daze. Knowing that the person standing opposite was not Daiyu but Xiren, she revealed the deepest secret in her heart.The result, of course, scared the attacker out of his wits.Xiren couldn't help shouting out something?remember?It was also like lightning, the attacker shouted, God Bodhisattva, you have killed me!Therefore, Cao Xueqin wrote about Brother Bao and Sister Lin in an all-round way and described it sexually and psychologically.Later, Xiren couldn't help saying those things to Mrs. Wang. Many commentators said she was an informer, and some even analyzed that she was Baochai's shadow. They were all ideologically on the side of maintaining feudal ethics. of.I have no objection to this analysis, but my personal feeling is that Cao Xueqin is actually writing about the complexity of human nature.When Xiren heard Baoyu's words that she absolutely didn't want her to hear, he was terrified and very disturbed-it turned out that Baoyu had sex with her, and there was a factor of using her as a substitute in it, which really screwed her to death!So Xiren's so-called whistleblowing, in addition to ideological reasons, I am afraid there are other, more hidden reasons that cannot tolerate Baoyu's further development.What do I want to explain by excavating the non-spiritual factors in Baoyu's love for Daiyu to this extent?What I want to say is that, looking at the eighty chapters of the essay, Baoyu's love for Daiyu is so deep and strong, but for Daiyu, before he officially married her, he had no desire for sexual intercourse with her. He controls himself, can even be said to restrain himself, and is very cautious even in physical contact.This kind of love is so holy, so noble, touching and admirable.Baoyu's love for Daiyu has a very clear goal, which is to marry her as his wife and become his regular wife.He quoted the words in Daiyu and Zijuan, "I am just a sad and sick body, and you are the beauty of the country and the city", "If you share the affectionate lady with the mandarin tent, how can you be willing to make the bed with you", and his attitude It was declared very clearly.Later, Zijuan insisted on "Trying busy jade with love words". In addition to making some very strange vows, he also said to Zijuan, I just tell you one sentence, alive, we live together, if we don't live, we live together How about ashes and smoke?

In the first scene of the thirtieth chapter, Cao Xueqin once again described the life-and-death love between the two jades. There was an active physical contact between Baoyu and Daiyu, but Daiyu actually tolerated and accepted it in her heart. enjoy.This physical contact should last for a long time, because a character jumped out of the bottom, and the person arrived before the sound, and heard a shout first, that's it!It turned out that it was Wang Xifeng who came.She came here at the order of Jia Mu, and took the two friends who gathered together out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, out of the Grand View Garden, and brought them to Jia Mu's upper room.She reported to Jia's mother that she saw Eryu apologize to each other in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it was like a yellow eagle caught the kite's feet, and both of them were buckled!

This scene, writing about the love between Bao and Dai, highlights that Baoyu's love for Daiyu is both spiritual and fleshy, but holy and noble. One or even several levels higher, highlighting his personality traits.If you think that Baoyu's feelings for Daiyu are more pity than love, it is inconsistent with a large number of descriptions in the book.The No. 1 heroine who thinks that Lin Daiyu is not enough is not convincing.Zhiyanzhai is considered to be the prototype of Shi Xiangyun, how did she write a comment?She said that if there is less than one person, the master of all is only two people.I am completely convinced by Zhi Yanzhai's words.The next second act, the time follows the first act, and the place is in Jiamu's house.We should have dinner together at this time, but Cao Xueqin omitted the process of eating, and directly wrote another psychological conflict between Bao, Dai, and Chai.I just want to remind everyone to pay attention to the little girl Di'er that appeared here, and some versions are written as Liang'er. I personally prefer Cao Xueqin's original pen to be Di'er, which is the sound of "pad", which is a homonym for "pad back". .This girl only appeared once in the first 80 episodes, but I guess she will appear again after 80 episodes.Just like Xiaohong suspected that Daiyu had eavesdropped on her secrets, would be suspicious of Daiyu, and would have a plot derived from it, this indigo just asked about the fan, Baochai was so stern to her, how could she Knowing that Baochai took this opportunity of asking her to beat Eryu with words?She was humble, so she had to swallow her anger at the time, but her situation changed later, and when she met Baochai again, what would she say and do?Everyone can guess.In my opinion, Cao Xueqin is particularly good at writing about the complexity of human nature and the treachery of fate. He does not write characters from a conceptual point of view. The overall impression of Baochai in his works is gentle and subtle, but occasionally he will glare and even hurt. As innocent as Indigo.

In this scene, because of the change of environment, Baoyu had to adjust his emotions as soon as possible to adapt to such interpersonal coping.Some people think that Jia Baoyu loves both Daiyu and Baochai, but this statement is not accurate.If it is said that he, as the king of Jiangdong flowers, a prince who protects flowers, has a kind of love for all young women, then Baochai is the most luxurious peony, how can he not love it?He can only love more.It is written many times in the book that he appreciated Baochai's beauty, demeanor, erudition, and poetic talent. Even in the example I quoted above, he had a feeling of "how pleasant to touch" her body. idea.However, that was not love in the strict sense. When he married a wife, he married Lin Daiyu.Even if there is a so-called "marriage of gold and jade", there is little or no difficulty in marrying Baochai, but it is difficult or even insurmountable to marry Daiyu.Why?It is because from the strict point of view of love between men and women, he loves Daiyu both physically and mentally, even for her shortcomings, and even for her morbidity. Although he has a desire for Baochai's plump and beautiful arms, since it is Baochai, he gave up psychologically.He will never desecrate Sister Lin's body. Only after marriage, when Sister Lin is willing and comfortable, will he enjoy the things he desires.This kind of sentiment was very rare in that era, among aristocratic sons of his status; even today, his outlook on love and marriage is also advisable.

But what is written in the second act is no longer Eryu's love, but Baoyu's life dilemma.He hopes to maintain a close relationship with Baochai on the premise of loving Daiyu.But in Baochai's ice-like body, there is actually a flame of youth that is hard to suppress, which cannot be extinguished no matter how many Lengxiang pills she swallows. Can you feel better?She couldn't hold back Baoyu's slip of the tongue when she compared her to Concubine Yang, and even said such weird words as "I am like Concubine Yang, but there is no good brother or brother who can be like Yang Guozhong".Some people think that this sentence is to scold Baoyu for being useless and unable to develop his official career and economy. In fact, there are other important reasons for it. I will reveal the secret in the following lectures, and I will not express it here. Baoyu in this scene is miserable.He lives in a gentle and wealthy town, except for Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, almost everyone treats him well, like a phoenix, but even so, his love with Daiyu is not only illegal and dangerous, but also He can't just fall in love with Daiyu, he has to deal with all kinds of interpersonal relationships. He can't let his parents find out his deviant thoughts, and he can't let Baochai see him too thoroughly and feel too sad.He hoped that there would be a kind of interpersonal balance, and hoped that the parents could tolerate and even accept his love with Daiyu, and follow the trend to lead to a satisfactory marriage. The closest boudoir-friend relationship.In today's words, we hope for a "win-win situation". If he is happy, everyone will be happy.This feeling is also an important factor in the composition of Baoyu's personality, but life and human nature can't give him such a balance in the end.And what this scene shows is the great depression he produced after being out of balance. And so came the third act.I wrote a little cutscene, which is consistent with the previous description of the spatial layout of Rongguo Mansion. It can be seen that there is a prototype of the courtyard, and it is likely that the floor plan was drawn before the pen was written, so the writing is not messy.The third act should be about two hours after the end of the first act, followed by the second act, and the scene was finally fixed in Mrs. Wang's upper room. A man who is depressed and temporarily trapped in a state of depression, the way for him to relieve his depression and get rid of depression is to vent his emotions in a not very clever way.Of course, there are better strategies to solve this problem, such as reading beautiful poems, listening to beautiful music, or thinking about metaphysical philosophical issues.But often in the rush, in the chaos, people will involuntarily adopt the middle-best strategy, which is to let their physical emotions vent, not to comfort themselves with noble things but with vulgar things to anesthetize themselves.Cao Xueqin wrote about Jia Baoyu in this way. He did not blindly elevate Jia Baoyu's personality connotation. He wrote vividly that there are also tangible things in Jia Baoyu's affection.In fact, as early as in some previous chapters, he has already written about Baoyu's "dirty dementia", he loves red, and loves to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth-this is actually an implicit way of saying, who is a fool?Of course I know what that is actually doing.From today's point of view, this is also an uncivilized behavior, at least it is indecent. In the twenty-fourth chapter, Yuanyang came to Yihong Courtyard at the order of Jia Mu to deliver a message, saying that Jia Amnesty was ill, and Baoyu should visit and greet him, and asked him to express concern on behalf of Jia Mu.At this time, Baoyu put his face on the mandarin duck's neck while Xiren went in to pack the clothes for going out. He smelled the fragrant oil and kept rubbing it with his hands. The monkey salivated from his upper body and said with a smile, good sister, give me the rouge on your mouth. As he said, it stuck to the mandarin duck like a twisted candy.What kind of scene do you think this is?According to the current statement, this is sexual harassment of Yuanyang, and Yuanyang is not a girl from her parents' generation, but a girl from her grandmother. Do you think Baoyu is unreasonable? Cao Xueqin's portrayal of Baoyu's image is not to set an example for readers to learn from.Some later generations affirmed Baoyu, saying that he was anti-feudal, but is there such an anti-feudal anti-feudalism?His behavior is unacceptable in any era or under any system.Cao Xueqin just wanted to write about a living person, and he made us believe that there was such a life in that space at that time, and he lived his life like that with all the complicated factors in his human nature.Jia Baoyu in his works provides us with rich understanding value and allows us to see the real human nature.He has already told us through Jia Yucun in the second episode that Baoyu belongs to the kind of person who is both righteous and evil. In his personality factors, there are holy metaphysics and vulgar metaphysics. In the twenty-fourth chapter, Yuanyang resolutely rejected Baoyu's sexual harassment, and she called out Xiren loudly, and Baoyu had to stop his obscene behavior.Of course, although Xiren blamed him and Yuanyang rejected him, they did not completely deny him, because they all felt Baoyu's care and consideration for his young daughter like protecting a flower. Among the maids, there were also those who were more frivolous. Not only did they not refuse Baoyu's harassment, but they also took the initiative to provoke him. Jin Chuan, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Wang, was one.In the twenty-third chapter, before Baoyu and others lived in the Grand View Garden, Jia Zheng and his wife summoned all the children, and Baoyu naturally rushed there.Outside the door, Jin Chuan rushed forward and said to Baoyu, I just rubbed the fragrant rouge on my mouth, will you eat it now?This stroke is the foreshadowing of the thirty chapters.Cao Xueqin's writing style, which is almost every stroke, even every word, is so sloppy and stretches thousands of miles. Some people always feel that it is impossible, right?Are you tired of writing this way, are you tired of reading this way?Of course, you don’t need to read it this way, and you don’t have to think about the tricks in these details when you read it, but I think that’s how Cao Xueqin wrote it.This is a sublime text produced by our own nation and our mother tongue. Even if we no longer write novels in this way today, at least we can still appreciate them in this way when we appreciate them, right?The third act of Chapter Thirty is a scene where the situation suddenly changed. I will not repeat the details of that very dramatic scene here. You must remember it.Jin Chuanmi squinted her eyes, and after Baoyu said that she would take her to Yihong Courtyard, she said, what are you busy with, the golden hairpin fell into the well, and only yours belonged to you.Then this sentence is used as a foreshadowing, and the plot is not thousands of miles away, only once in a while, it is "death with shame and passion".This once again shows that Cao Xueqin's writing style is like that. The description of details and the words of the characters often not only conform to the situation at the time, but also serve as a foreshadowing. The ending is only between morning and evening.Baoyu's teasing of Jin Chuan was later exaggeratedly described by Jia Huan as "attempting to coerce her mother and maid".One or two hours ago, in front of Daiyu, her heart was still full of holy feelings, and even holding her hand seemed to be a presumptuous thing to do, but after only about two hours, it was very natural. Changed a superficial vulgar mentality, no matter the words in the mouth or the body language are chilling, do you believe this is the same person?I have discussed with more than one red fan friend. Their comments on Baoyu and Jin Chuan are different, and even contradict each other. However, no one thinks that Cao Xueqin's writing is far-fetched, and they all say that the flow of the plot is very natural. Authentic and believable. The climax of the third act is that Mrs. Wang, who seemed to be in the form of a zombie, suddenly turned over, slapped Jin Chuan on the face, pointed at her and cursed, while Baoyu ran away.After Baoyu escaped, this scene continued for a while, when Mrs. Wang called someone to drive Jin Chuan out. Baoyu's life, carrying all the elements of his personality, ran out of Mrs. Wang's main room and returned to the Grand View Garden. What happened after that?Then came the fourth act.In the front, after the Grand View Garden was built, Jia Zheng led a group of Qing guests with precious jade, and when they browsed the inscribed plaques everywhere, it was written in the book that they passed the tea rack, entered the wooden incense shed, and crossed the Peony Pavilion. , Go to the peony garden, enter the rose garden, and leave the plantain dock? ?Unexpectedly, there is also a foreshadowing in this transitional sentence that seems to be just a hint.In the thirtieth chapter, the flower stand in the rose garden becomes the setting of the fourth act.Ordinarily, in the third act, when Baoyu got into trouble, he should be in a state of confusion, and it is impossible to divert his attention to other places.However, firstly, he did not know that Mrs. Wang not only beat and scolded Jin Chuan, but also immediately called someone to throw Jin Chuan out in a fit of anger; secondly, in order to make the following plot develop reasonably, Cao Xueqin specially wrote In the Grand View Garden at that time, the sun was shining in the sky, the trees were shaded, the ears were full of cicadas, and no one was speaking. Such an objective environment could calm people's flustered subjective consciousness.As a result, he wrote that Baoyu heard the sound of choking, and was attracted by the sound to the side of the rose flower stand, and looked for people on the other side of the flower stand, so he found Lingguan Huaqiang.Of course, at the end of this scene, Baoyu only vaguely felt that the girl who painted Qiang was one of the twelve officials. The feelings of caring for young women in his personality rose again.He thought to himself, this girl, the outside situation has reached such a point of selflessness and obsession, she is suffering in her heart somehow, and she is so thin, how can she bear such torture in her heart, I hate that I can't share some of it for her? ?The mystery of Lingguan Huaqiang was not revealed until the thirty-sixth chapter, and Baoyu also realized the fate of love in life, each with its own destiny, that is a later story.In this scene, Cao Xueqin once again wrote about Baoyu's love and pity for young women, sweeping away his superficial frivolity in front of Jin Chuan about half an hour ago.Is that also Jia Baoyu?This is Jia Baoyu?Which is true and which is false?It dazzles readers and surprises them a lot.But I also believe that the vast majority of readers will not feel that Baoyu has a split personality or feel that the author's writing is far-fetched because of the ups and downs and various changes in his performance in such a short period of time when the author writes about him. . Cao Xueqin is so good. He wrote this time, which is like writing a poem. The beginning and end are so seamless. He wrote the fourth act, which is considered to be perfect. Unexpectedly, he also has the fifth act that makes readers feel more difficult to calm down. screen. The time of the fifth act, followed by the fourth act.In fact, the narrative this time is the most compact in terms of time, without any interruption.And the location of the last scene is Yihong Courtyard.As for the stage effect, it should be that the rain is gradually coming and getting bigger.By the end of the fourth act, showers had begun to fall.Lingguan found someone outside the flower stand reminding her to take shelter from the rain, thought it was a girl, thanked her and asked, sister is outside, is there any shelter from the rain?Later, Ling Guan must have found out that it was Baoyu, so she told Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang had mixed eyes and saw many people, so she told it as a joke.In the thirty-fifth chapter, two women came to see Baoyu.Baoyu Suxi hated stupid men and women the most. The stupid women with the eyes of dead fish should have been determined not to see them, but that day he made an exception to receive those two women.Why?The two wives came from Tongpan Fu Shi's family. From the names, we can know that Tongpan is a follower of power.But although Fu Shi was not very good, Baoyu heard—note, it was only heard—that Fu Shi’s younger sister, named Fu Qiufang, was twenty-four years old and was still in her boudoir. Both good looks and good looks.Baoyu actually treated this woman who was almost ten years older than him—what did the book say?It's called—the heart of daydreaming and remote love, very sincerely!What's going on here?Jia Yucun said that Baoyu should not be regarded as a lecherous demon, so what is Baoyu's psychology? Fortunately, Cao Xueqin quickly arranged for the two women to have a conversation in that episode.After they saw Baoyu, they were very surprised. One said—that was what they saw with their own eyes—that Yu Chuan, Jin Chuan's younger sister, accidentally knocked the soup over Baoyu's hand when she was handing it to Baoyu, and Baoyu was beaten. She was scalded, and regardless of herself, she anxiously asked Yu Chuan where she was scalded and whether it hurt.The woman commented on this, it is strange that some people say that he looks like a fool on the outside, but is he not a fool?Another woman followed up and said that Baoyu herself was soaked by the heavy rain like a chicken, but told others that it was raining and they should take shelter from the rain.How did she know?Presumably, Ling Guan told Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang told Fu Shi, and Fu Shi learned his tongue from his sisters. Through such a channel, they knew.Of course they all thought it was ridiculous, but Cao Xueqin must have confidence, that is, he believed that readers would do their own thing about Baoyu's behavior, and they didn't think it was ridiculous, but they thought it was admirable, gratifying and admirable. An admirable and admirable response.As for the words of this woman, I think it is Cao Xueqin herself who simply used her mouth to describe Baoyu in depth.I hope that the present readers must not ignore these sentences.So what kind of sentences did Cao Xueqin write down?He wrote like this, saying that Jia Baoyu often cried and laughed to himself when no one was in front of him; when he saw swallows, he talked to swallows; when he saw fish in the river, he talked to fish; Mumbling, and not even a bit rigid, even those hairy girls are angry? ?The Fu family's wife's words sounded more profound than Jia Yucun's long-winded arguments, and they outlined Baoyu's personality in a popular way. Of course, Baoyu is not a lecherous ghost. He loves Fu Qiufang daydreamly. I think there may be another factor. In that era, a girl like Fu Qiufang might start looking for her husband's family from the age of fourteen. Well, her brother may even try to use her as capital to marry a rich and noble family.There is no such person who accepts it, of course it is one reason, but Fu Qiufang's resolute refusal to marry easily is definitely a more important reason.This should also be an eccentric person with both righteous and evil spirits. He has not yet left the cabinet at the age of twenty-four, and is still waiting for a marriage that meets his wishes. Thinking about it, how can it not be awe-inspiring?This Fu Qiufang will definitely have a play after the 80th chapter, and she may not have fulfilled her own wish, but she and Baoyu should have some entanglements. Maybe she is also one of the characters who extended a helping hand to Baoyu when he was in trouble. Baoyu's universal love is not only for young women, he loves the swallows in the sky, loves the fish in the water, he talks to the stars and the moon, and he can integrate himself with the universe.Zhi Yanzhai revealed in his comments that in the "Love List" at the end of the book, Baoyu's test language is "love or not", that is, he can give sincere feelings to all the ruthless things in the world.What an amazing feeling this is, the highest level of his personality has really reached "the sky".Ordinarily, it doesn't seem too much for us to praise him: "Great, Baoyu!"But in the fifth act of the thirtieth chapter, Cao Xueqin actually wrote a dramatic scene that was more unexpected than we expected. Everyone must be deeply impressed by that scene.That is, he knocked on the door of Yihong Courtyard in the heavy rain. No one inside expected him to go back, and no one paid attention to him for a long time. In the end, Xiren went to open the door. Stretching out his feet and kicking the attacker so hard that he vomited blood at night, his usual desire to fight for glory and boast was completely wiped out.This is Baoyu's second time to show power at a girl, the first time was in the eighth time, do you remember?I've talked a lot about the Fenglucha incident. He got angry with Qianxue after he was drunk, which caused Qianxue to be kicked out. About half an hour ago, in the fourth act, Baoyu was still a flower-protecting angel, but when he returned to Yihong Courtyard, in the fifth act, he suddenly became a flower destroyer again. This time, there are only about 6,000 words, and each scene uses more than 1,000 words, and the five aspects of Baoyu's personality are all written, and the writing is so smooth, so natural, seamless, and true. letter.What is a big deal?I don't know how you feel about this, but I am convinced.What a beautiful, what an amazing Cao Xueqin, and what an intriguing Jia Baoyu. 我这样地总结了贾宝玉人格的五个层次,从低到高:第一个层次:纨公子本色,以我为主,有发怒施威的特权。 第二个层次:戒不掉形而下,爱吃胭脂,以轻薄调笑解郁闷。 第三个层次:享受闺友闺情,渴望平衡,在细微体贴中快乐。 第四个层次:笃信木石姻缘,圣洁之爱,绝对尊重绝对专一。 第五个层次:追求诗意生活,融进宇宙,能以真情对待无情。 关于贾宝玉,可以讨论的问题还很多,但是下面我必须要快点讲讲林黛玉和薛宝钗了。我想大家最关心的应该是,为什么曹雪芹总把黛、钗并列?如果说高鹗所写的林黛玉焚稿断痴情、魂归离恨天并不符合曹雪芹原来的构思,那么,林黛玉应该是怎么死的呢?下一讲,我就要涉及这个话题,且听下回分解。
