Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Fifth: "The Abnormal Husband" and "Sister-in-law Zhiyan"

In Zhang Ailing's theory of "big demolition" and "big relocation", fat criticism is one of the main points of her argument.Therefore, we should do a little research to get a glimpse of her skill and knowledge of textual research. She didn't have a positive research on Zhi Yan's re-evaluation, but it's just someone else's statement, and she can't make a few points: One is that Zhi Yan doesn’t know who it is—in the “Five Details”, he suddenly admits that she is a woman and fell in love with the author when they were young. The second is that after Zhi Yan's death, a "distorted old man" "came out" to take over her career of criticizing books.

The third is that this "old man" made changes such as "Fan Li" in the book. The fourth is that she admitted that Sheyue actually had a real person. As mentioned in the book, after Xiren left, she stayed alone with Xueqin according to her instructions; Not a single word", which made the critics "feel sad for the scene" - Zhang Ailing believed that this was the matter of the "old man", this "elder man" and Sheyue sat and touched the "scene" and felt sad! In fact, she was deceived by "words", and she fell into the dubious words of the so-called "Jing Pi" who she didn't know the truth at all.So Jihu is an "old man".But this "old man" knows the privacy of Xueqin's (son's and nephew's) boudoir, and with Zhiyan, she calls "Brother Yu", "Afeng", "Xiaoer" and other intimate quarrels--for this, she Did not express any doubts.

She forgot that the "old man" is both a "smoke screen" and a joke.Women are also called "Old Man", but the sound is slightly changed, and it is pronounced from SOU to SAO - when written as a character, "female" is added next to it, that is, "sister-in-law". Therefore, when older women have no relatives, they are usually called "sister-in-law", and the added surnames are "sister-in-law Zhang" and "sister-in-law Li"-in fact, they are all "old women".Zhang Ailing didn't seem to think about this. As for fat and deformity, it is a turn of the same sound. Children pronounce "knowledge" as "chicken" before they can pronounce the words clearly: "I don't know the way of chicken", which is called ignorance.Therefore, Xiangyun, who "bites the tongue", pronounces it like this, and pronounces fat (ji) abnormally, which just proves that the female critic is a "big tongue"!It is the same as Xiangyun.

Wat, is the name of inkstone, such as "Jiangnan Chun" written by Wu Mengchuang (Wenying), a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Numbers, etc.), Yunhan ancient inkstone, Fangming is still in Tanghu." The "Wat" here is the "ancient inkstone" in the previous sentence, and the inscription is engraved on it, and the word "Fang" is elegant. Before the Song Dynasty, Gaigu inkstones were mostly in the shape of "feng", round, etc.; since the Song Dynasty, they have gradually become square and rectangular, so the "Wat Ban" is used as a metaphor.Because the ink is also changed from a round cake shape to a rectangular plate shape, it is also called "Mo Yihu".Today people don't know.

In short, "Fat Wat Sou" is actually "Sister Zhiyan". People of Xueqin's generation like this kind of sarcasm, because of their wild and humorous nature, there is nothing different. It's a pity that even Zhang Ailing was fooled, and mistook what others said, insisting that "Wat" was an "uncle". , the status has been determined, the reviewer is Zhi Yanzhai, and there is no second "elder man" to overwhelm the host, "make up a man and a woman" to pretend to be a "re-evaluation". If this mystery is solved, the continuation of "Ji Mao" will not be forced to "separate" from the original batch, and use it to "textual research", causing many troubles that have nothing to do with it-the so-called "nightmare" .

Zhi Yan knew that "Sister Feng's play" was written by herself. "Outside the book" provincial text also. Zhi Yan recalled that he and the author used acacia flowers to brew wine in front of the "low secluded page (one character) boat", and also "outside the book" saves the text, and the infinite smoke overflows the scale. In Ms. Zhang's way of thinking, these were all "early drafts" and later "deleted" (?) Isn't it strange to say so? The poem says: How many strange essays and coups, Feiyang changes the pen freely. There is no death policy for the text, Jin Sexiu glued the pillars to the fullest.
