Chapter 16 (6) Clouds disperse and water flow

Let me tell you: the two lines of lyrics you just heard are both generic and specific.What is the meaning of referring specifically to general terms without waiting for troublesome words? The secret is: the last sentence refers specifically to Xiangyun, and the second sentence refers specifically to Daiyu. What happened to Daiyu afterwards?She died in tears.Everyone knows this, but the real situation is something that no one has ever thought of—she and Xiangyun "crossed the crane shadow in the cold pond, and buried the flower soul in the cold moon". Daiyu was originally the representative of Qunfang in the Grand View Garden.So she was born only in February and December, which is the ancient "Flower Dynasty" (the birthday of hundreds of flowers), and she likes to use the word "flower soul" in her poems.When she died, it was a realm where there was no one in the cold moon, and there were cranes in the cold pond.She had lost her interest in life and drowned herself in the water.

Her self-sinking and death is exactly the ending symbolized and heralded by the poems "flying flowers chasing water" and "flowers falling into water and flowing red". Of course, it is not unusual for flowers to flow in the natural world, but the death of Daiyu is not so easy.She had a period of painful experience first, and then decided to end it like that.That's very different from "nature".As Zicuckoo said: ... It would be better if someone from her natal family is powerful; if it is a girl like a girl, it will be fine if she has an old lady; if there is no old lady, she will just be bullied by others.

This is a big key.The old lady is here, although those who are jealous of her are always looking at her, and often want to wait for the opportunity to move, but they dare not make a move.Now the old lady is really gone! The first person to harm Daiyu was Aunt Zhao—she harmed Sister Feng and Daiyu for the purpose of harming Baoyu, because she knew very well that Feng was Baoyu's protector (who was dedicated to Zhao's schemes and evil intentions), and Daiyu He is Baoyu's confidant (in today's language, maybe it will be "spiritual support"?), so if you want to kill Baoyu, you have to kill her two first.Aunt Zhao usually goes to the Tanchun Room. Those who want to enter the garden, when they come back, they must go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to greet Miss Lin when they come back.The first is to please the old lady, and the second is to secretly check the whereabouts of Bao and Dai, collect "information" and observe the "gap".She is no stranger to the situation in the museum.Miss Lin is frail and weak, sentimental and sick, once she enters her room, the room is filled with the smell of medicine, there are always prescriptions, medicine records, things like spraying medicine and decocting medicine into the Yinlian nose view.According to the rules of the Jia family, there are special persons in charge of all matters in the family, not only the accounting and treasury, and other important tasks, but also the dispensing of medicines and pills.As soon as Miss Lin entered the mansion, she asked her to take ginseng Yangrong pills, and Jia's mother ordered Jiachang and Jia Ling, who were in charge of medicines, to add an ingredient for her to take.

Later, when talking about Mrs. Wang's conversation with Daiyu, Fanxu always first asked how the eldest girl was taking her medicine recently?One time, he said: Is it good to take the medicine of Doctor Bao?Daiyu replied that it was not very effective, and the old lady told her to take Dr. Wang's medicine.This led Baoyu to say that these decoctions and pills are useless, my wife gave me three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and I prepared a pill for sister Lin, kept it and cured it...He also said that big brother Xue asked for this prescription and spent thousands of silver to match it....

Later, when there was wind and rain in the autumn window, Baochai came to sit down for a moment, and the two discussed medicine. ——This is also the situation when she is usually not too seriously ill. After that, her illness became more and more serious. The old lady was in a hurry, and really spent a large sum of money to prepare medicines for Daiyu. The prescriptions used were all high-quality and precious medicines.Jiachang and Jialing were ordered to prepare carefully. Unexpectedly, when Aunt Zhao learned of this, she became more and more jealous, and at the same time, she suddenly had a scheming heart—she wanted to use medicine to murder Miss Lin.She ordered Jia Huan to go to Chang and Ling's place to hang out, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble.Jia Chang and Jia Ling knew Jia Huan as a human being, so they were more wary of him, and the rule was that no one was allowed to come and go in the pharmacy.Jia Huan's plan was difficult to succeed, so he slandered Jia Zheng, saying that Chang and Ling were cheating. In order to make money, they bought medicinal materials with second-generation good ones and false ones as real ones.Jia Zheng sent someone in charge to accompany the doctor to check the quality of the medicine and supervise the processing process.At this time, Jia Huan bribed the manager and changed the medicine given to Daiyu—although it was not a poison, it was a medicine that was completely opposite to her condition.

Daiyu didn't know about this, so she took the new medicine carefully.But not only did not turn around, but the symptoms became more and more serious. At this time, the old lady has already left her, and Baoyu has been interrogated because of her family status.Daiyu was distressed and anxious, no matter how physically and mentally she could no longer support herself. She felt that life was exhausted, and that she would die instead of being strong, so she finally made up her mind to get someone to help her to the pond, under the pretext that she would enjoy the moon to relieve boredom, so as to benefit her illness.

There is a cold moon in the sky, and half an acre of clear waves in the pool.The moonlight also reflected in the pool, melting the water and light, and the up and down were covered with cold air, consciously invading the muscles and bones, and it was already unbearable. She recalled the last time she and Xiangyun sang together on this moonlit night, as now, she remembered it very clearly—"Crossing the shadow of a crane in the cold pond, burying the soul of a flower in a cold moon." She shed the last tears all over her face, gritted her teeth, turned over and threw herself into the pool!

What about Xiangyun?At this time, she is no longer by her side—because she has also been played by fate and "scattered" to another place.
