Chapter 37 The seventh floor "Red Mansion" inkstone (3)

But when we compared the three authentic copies of "Zhi Bian", we knew that this was not the case.The most convincing evidence is the first eyebrow criticism in the "Jiaxu Version" quoted above, which is the "tear pen" of "Jiawu August". It mentioned earlier that Xueqin had passed away, and later said: From now on, I only hope that the Creator will produce another celery and fat, which is the copy of the book, and the other two will soon fulfill their hearts in Jiuquan! This is obviously Zhi Yan's words, he pointed out "one celery and one fat", and said "Yu Er", the Yu two people, that is, one qin and one Zhi, Qin is dead, and Zhi is just mourning his death.How can you say that fat is celery?

Because of the unusual tone of this criticism, and the circumstances listed in the above eight items, we cannot help but make us suspicious: since Zhiyan will never be Xueqin, what kind of person should he be in order to have such a relationship with Xueqin? A subtle relationship like one or two?Could it be that the cousin Hu Shi guessed for the first time was right?We can also follow that "reasonable route" and method to find this imaginary possible cousin.This person, Sister Feng, wrote some plays, and he once wrote them; another example is the thirty-eighth chapter of "Chrysanthemum Poem: Crab Ode", when Xiangyun entertained guests, Baoyu specially asked for wine soaked in acacia flowers.Here, the "Gengchen Ben" double-line note says:

Sad!The author still remembers that Ai (pronounced awkwardly, with a big head and deep eyes, here it refers to the shape of the bow or room) before the boat, does it use Albizia julibrissin to make wine?Twenty years have passed! It can be seen that he also participated in this matter.Another example is the sixty-third Baoyu's birthday banquet. Fang Guan was full of enthusiasm, and a pair of lines commented: Yu Yi was too hot right now, wishing he could get cold.Thinking about the heat when it is cold is like a dream. This Ming Dynasty uses hot and cold words to pun about the rise and fall of the past and the present; then this person was also in this meeting.But in these few books, there are all big gatherings of female relatives, and there is really no "cousin" to be found.If there is such a cousin, even if he can participate in special banquets, Baoyu's private life will never be spent together and he knows his grievances. However, in the nineteenth chapter, a eyebrow commented:

There are also hidden things in Xuan (referring to Jiang Yunxuan). The twentieth batch between lines: Although there are few joking words, there are few details about revealing Yihong. In the twenty-first chapter, Baoyu was written. Xiangyun only washed two handfuls of face wash water, and the side commented: In Yihong, what is the cost (the original error wasted) and there are so many things? Later, the two quarreled with Xiren and recovered as before. At the time, they also criticized: There is no scum in the end, and Heyihong is common. In the twenty-fourth chapter, there is also a batch between the eyebrows and the rows:

The four characters gradually reveal the big girl's usual days, and Yihong's little things. Yihong uses a pen to draw all the details, which is a grand method. ——Ding Haixia, abnormal wat old man. Imagine if they were cousins, how could they know the "small things" about the daughter in "Yihong Courtyard"?Based on the above, an explanation can be drawn: only if the person is a woman can everything make sense.So I looked for a batch with a more feminine tone.In the twenty-sixth chapter, there was indeed a side comment saying: If Brother Yu sees this criticism, he will say: "Old guy! He doesn't relax everywhere, hate it!" Thinking back, he compares Yu to a hairpin, hairpin, etc., and he is a confidant. How lucky is Yu!smile.

Please pay attention to the importance of this comment: 1. It is clearly stated that compared with hairpin, frown, etc., it is definitely not incompatible with women; we can be suspicious: since the end says "a smile", it is clearly a footnote for joking, so why be stubborn?However, it is not uncommon for a "cousin" or some "very close" male "clan" to compare himself to a lover or a wife and consider himself a woman. Such a "joke" is not uncommon.Second, it can also be seen that the person seems to have the same status as the hairpin and the frown, rather than a secondary figure.Just like back again, Baoyu forgets her feelings and says "Miss Passionate is in the same mandarin tent", Daiyu immediately puts down her face and criticizes:

I'm also annoyed. In all these places, if he is not in the same class as the world's bad, talkative and low-tongued critics, then his original intention should be to say: "If I heard such indecent words at that time, I would definitely be annoyed." That is another woman's voice. . There are not only joking criticisms like this, but more serious ones. Here are some examples: 1. The quotation before the first chapter of "Jiaxu Version" says: This is the first time this book has been opened.The author Ziyun "...today the wind and dust are busy, nothing can be accomplished, and I suddenly think of all the women of that day... However, there are people in the boudoir who have lived in my life, and I must not let them be wiped out because of my disobedience.... Therefore, it is called "Feng Chen Huai" Lady'", is the first outline of justice.When the book is opened, it is said that "the wind and the dust are pregnant with the ladies", so we know that the author's original intention is to describe the relationship between the girlfriends and girlfriends of that day.

This seems to be the tone of what the author said to a woman, and the woman remembered it, and then there is the title poem: It is said that the red sleeves have heavy crying marks, and there is even more love and hatred. Then "red sleeve" can be the woman. 2. The poem in the sixth chapter of "Qi Ben" says: It is common to see the true and false of romance, and it is sour to borrow and close.There is always no place for fantasy, and the silver lamp picks up tears. Said that the "silver lamp" was exhausted, as usual, it should be a woman's voice. 3. The fifth chapter of the "Jiaxu Version" wrote "Why do you use this turbid thing to pollute this pure daughter's environment?" Eyebrow commented:

Strange pen and strange prose.The writer regards his daughter as the most precious thing.I don't know if my daughter knows now?Yu Wei cried infatuatedly for the author—and hated for his daughter who had abandoned herself! Also under the joint text of "You Wei Lingxiu Land", it is approved: The heart of a daughter, the state of a daughter. I think this is obviously a language that women feel and understand.This category still exists and is no longer listed. 4. The twenty-sixth chapter of "Jiaxu Version" writes that Daiyu "the more she thinks about it, the more sad she becomes, regardless of the cold moss, the cold flower path, and under the shade of flowers at the corner of the independent wall, she mourns and sobs."Side note:

Poor kill!It hurts! ——Yu also burst into tears. The twenty-seventh chapter of "The Song of Burying Flowers" was criticized: I read "The Song of Burying Flowers" to the third and fourth, and I feel sad and emotional, which makes people forget both their life and experience. In all of these, it is clear that women understand women's feelings, otherwise it would be strange. "Jiaxu Ben" has a side comment in the second chapter: He first gave a drink for everyone in Ningrong, but for Yu Yi! Is this person not among Ning Rong's number, I think maybe Li didn't use this artistic archetype at all?But to the forty-eight chapters, a pair of lines and batches clearly stated:

Therefore, "Dream of Red Mansions" also.Yu Jin's criticism was also in a dream.Especially for the person in the "dream", especially for this big dream. ——Zhi Yan Zhai.
