Chapter 14 (4) The dead are scattered

Before Rongning was defeated, only two young women, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, had a premonition that the great changes were coming. The rest—especially the men who had no foresight and long-term plans, only knew about prosperity and honor, and their daily happiness was not enough. There is still trouble.When Qin Keqing was dying, she warned Sister Feng, saying: Auntie, you are a hero in the makeup team, why have you forgotten the ancient saying and the often heard saying "the tree falls and the monkeys scatter"? This sentence turned out to be an old saying that is both solemn and humorous passed down by the author Xueqin's family: his grandfather Cao Yin was alive, and when he was prosperous and prosperous, he often used this saying (originated in the Song Dynasty) to warn his guests and his family.

By this time, the big tree had fallen, and all the hozens—those who relied on the power to parasitize, those who followed the power, those who depended on food for food, and those who served loyally...all dispersed one after another, avoiding it for fear of being too late.The same goes up and down in my own home.Diao slaves and evil servants, colluding with foreign enemies, also came to take advantage of the fire to rob. Xiaohong said long ago: If you build a long shed for thousands of miles, there is no feast that never ends.He also said: But after three to five years, they will "do their own things".

At this time, one by one came true. Prior to this, there was the marriage of Yingchun, the death of Qingwen, the eviction of the chess player, the relocation of Baochai,... The Grand View Garden is no longer the grand scene of previous years, it is already a desolate and lonely atmosphere, and the next thing is to explore. Chun's distant marriage, Daiyu's suicide, Xiren's resignation, Xiaohong's marriage, Wu'er's tragedy, Xichun's monkhood, Miaoyu's disaster... one after another, it is the twenty-third chapter symbolized in - fall into a row Flourishing Flowing water, flowers falling, spring gone

The water flows, the flowers fade, the two are ruthless That's what Qin Keqing recited when he bid farewell to Xifeng Yong--after the three springs go, all the fragrances are gone, and each of them has to find his own door.
