Chapter 9 (8) Looking at the hometown road far away and high mountains

The eightieth chapter has already been written about returning to Ning for a small stay at the end of winter in winter.In the new year of the next year, one day suddenly a thunderbolt struck Jia's mansion, and a bad news came: Concubine Yuan died! The sudden death of Yuanchun is a major milestone in the book, and it is also a major mystery.Why did she die?How to die? Yuan Chun's self-made lantern riddles have already foreshadowed: "A sound that shakes people's fears, - looking back at the Prime Minister (flat voice kan) has turned into ashes!" Qin Keqing also told Sister Feng in her dream, and there is another big happy event in front of her, just like the icing on the cake - it's just It is a flash in the pan, a fleeting prosperity.It was just luck.

What is written in the book is very rich and luxurious on the surface, but in fact it is just a powerful faction of the Three Banners family of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Bureau. "Household servants" only.Daughters of this kind of family are required to be selected as court ladies according to the regulations, and if they are selected, they must enter the palace to serve as servants.Jia Yuanchun is exactly such a girl.She has been "promised by Jin", but she is only a "noble person" and is not up to the rank of concubine or concubine, but there are special cases in the Qing court. Those who are similar or will become concubines are all referred to as "master" (special in the palace). Said) treat it as it is.

Not only that, the Jia family described in the book is not really a family favored by "Long Live Lord", on the contrary, his family is a politically frightened bird. Let's look at Xueqin's pen and write about the situation when the eunuch first passed on the decree of the Jin Dynasty, and it is clear.It was Jia Zheng's birthday that day, and the two houses were very lively.Suddenly it was rumored that "Master Xia, the eunuch of the Liugong Capital, came to issue an order"—— 1. "Scared" She, Zheng and others don't know what the sign is; 2. "The show is busy, and the banquet is removed...";

3. Hearing that Texuan entered the palace, "had to" quickly change clothes and enter the court; 4. Jia's mother and other family members were "all in a state of anxiety"; 5. Constantly sending people flying horses back and forth to report messages; Sixth, and Lai Da reported, "At that time, Jia's mother was restless, standing under the corridor of the lobby." you saw it?What is this?Readers in the Qing Dynasty knew it at a glance: this family panicked when they heard the decree, and they were "unlucky". (If a family who is favored and popular, it must be good news when they hear the decree, why should they be so alarmed?)

You must know that even if the daughter of such a "historical crime" family is lucky enough to be favored for a while, once she or her family members make mistakes, the old and new scores will be settled together! Jia Yuanchun's death was not caused by a single superficial matter. Among the restaurants on the outskirts of Weiyang, Jia Yucun first mentioned that the sisters of the Zhen family were rare, and Leng Zixing then said that there are three in the Jia family. Gongzuo Nushi went, and the other three "all heard well".In the seventeenth chapter, when I look back at "Cai Xuan Feng Zao Palace", I also point out the word "cai" - it is the name of "Feng Zao", which is also the meaning of Wen Zao (literary talent).This tells us that the favor of Yuanchun was originally because her literary talent was better than her predecessors.But things in the world are always "success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He". Talented people will be rewarded on the one hand, and envy and hate on the other.

Sister Feng once dreamed that a lady was robbing her of the brocade, saying that this lady was not our (Yuanchun) lady.This reveals a piece of news: Yuan Chun already has a strong rival in the palace who is competing with her for status.Jealousy must be followed by rumors and slander.The slander permeated the emperor's ears and mind every day. The secret affairs in the palace are often linked with the background party struggles of the political situation.The one who hates Yuanchun, her mother's family is more powerful than the Rongfu, and is in the same party as the hostile forces of the Rongfu (such as Prince Zhongshun).Yuan Chun is just an outstanding talented woman. She taught her younger brother Baoyu to read and write since she was a child. , is not an expert who is good at fighting for favor with others, and it is inevitable that he will lose in the long run.

In the palace, she was in a complicated and depressed mood, and she was also very worried that everyone in the family would not be prudent and make a wrong move, which would lead to trouble—at that time, the political crimes were often for implicating six relatives, and if it was serious, it would be a tragedy of exterminating the family!However, strange!She was not in the palace when she died, that place was already "far away from the house"!But what is going on here?
