Chapter 46 Authentic version of "Red Mansion" on the ninth floor (2)

Respect but not profanity is the basic characteristic of their relationship.But does this equate to "emotional happiness"?But not all.Eighty chapters ago, there was a passage about Baoyu comparing Concubine Yang to Baochai. Baochai was furious and retorted, her words were harsh and unstoppable, and she gave Baoyu a big "can't come down", so that Daiyu said today you I also met great ones.Just look at this situation, it is not of the same nature as the quarrel between Bao and Dai, which was really caused by serious affection. The word "happy" cannot be underestimated.If you are talking about after the 80th chapter, please read a section of "Zhi Criticism" before the 20th chapter:

According to the text of this chapter, it is wonderful, but I haven't seen it in the next thirty chapters.This is called "Jiaochen Baoyu, and soft words to save Jia Lian", and later said "Xue Baochai borrowed words to contain irony, Wang Xifeng knows his fate and strengthens the hero";However, today's attackers and precious jade are also the attackers of tomorrow, and the precious jade of tomorrow.Today's Ping'er and Jia Lian are also Ping'er and Jia Lian in the future.Why can today's jade be admired, but tomorrow's jade can no longer be admired?Today's Lian can still be saved, but tomorrow's Lian can't be saved?There is no difference between admonition and remonstrance, but where is the attacker?Ning is not sad!There is no difference between saving and being strong, what's more, today because of Ping'er's rescue, what is Ah Feng's heroic spirit today; when he is strong in the future, how can he be so lucky, and how can his eyes be like that?The changes in the world are like this, and the time is like this.Today I write about Xiren, and later I write about Baochai; today I write about Ping'er, and later I write about Afeng.The text is the same reason, the situation is timeless, but things are so different!How much hate and tears shed in these two books. ("Gengchen Ben" and "Qi Ben" jointly adopted each other)

This is Zhi Yan, who has personally seen the original manuscript eighty times, telling us that in the second half there is such a book as "Xue Baochai's borrowed words contain irony, Wang Xifeng knows his fate and is a strong hero".In the future, Baochai will follow in the footsteps of others, so he still has to remonstrate Baoyu.However, Baoyu at that time still did not accept Baochai's set of "orthodoxy", "it is no longer admonishable".How clear this is. Therefore, after Yu and Chai got married, they raised their eyebrows together and respected each other as guests. They didn't turn against each other like Xue Pan and Xia Jingui, and made a fool of themselves by making a scene.But this is not the same as intellectual harmony, in which they have always been different.Therefore, one needs to be satirized and remonstrated, and the other is difficult to prescribe and difficult to regulate.From this point of view, it is certainly wrong to say that their love is lingering; it is not appropriate to say that their relationship is happy. ——Then, besides, it was a very "natural" thing for them to get married after Daiyu's death, and Baoyu was very "willing", and I think it is not such a thing.

Gao E's continuation book, contrary to the original purpose of the original book, had its own purpose. He definitely did not continue it indifferently. He used the method of pseudo-continuation to tamper with the original idea.He wrote about the scenes of Yu and Chai after their marriage, which is extremely vulgar, especially the Baoyu beside Baochai he wrote, which is no longer the Baoyu in Cao Xueqin's works.Today, some researchers infer the relationship between jade and hairpin after marriage, and here is my humble opinion. The above is roughly an old manuscript on the issue of Baochai, and there is one point that I can make up for now.

Ming Yi, who had seen Cao Xueqin's manuscript, was the first person to inscribe this novel.The last four or five of its twenty quatrains are especially valuable, because they all chanted the plot after the eighty chapters, and provided us with research materials.This record is as follows: Born a little golden boudoir with a delicate nature, it can be tortured for many nights.Hibiscus blows off the autumn wind ruthlessly, where can I recruit the new empty space! Young master in brocade clothes Zhuo Lanya, the beauty in pink has not broken the melon.Young and young might as well share the same room, dreaming of multiple tents.

A sad poem about funeral flowers, as if a prophecy has come true, I don't know it.Ande's return to the soul is a ray of fragrance, and the red thread continues from the Qing Dynasty? Don't ask about golden marriage and jade fate, gather like spring dreams and disperse like smoke.Shi Gui has no spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain, even if he can speak, it is in vain. It was not long before the food, jade, cooking and gold were eaten, and the king and grandson were thin and bony.Where does the green moth red powder go?Shame on Shi Jilun back then! Difficulties arose in the interpretation of the last five poems in the penultimate poem.At first, like my friends, I thought it was because of Daiyu's first entry into the mansion and living in the Bisha closet.Later, I felt that it was not quite right, so I changed the explanation to "suspiciously refers to the matter of 'embroidered mandarin duck dream Zhaojiang Yunxuan'" - but I mistakenly wrote it as "suspiciously refers to the matter of 'knowledge, determine love, and understand Lixiangyuan'", which is not clear yet. conscious.When my brother Huchang met, he expressed doubts to me several times, but neither of them made it clear.Now he reminded me of this issue again, saying that he should explain it more clearly—he thought it would be more appropriate to write about Daiyu's first visit.

We often posed questions to each other and raised clues in this way, which not only inspired each other, but also refuted each other, especially when discussing the Baochai issue.This time, when I suddenly revisited how to explain Yi poems, I gave reasons and said: 1. Although the twenty poems of Mingyi are not written according to the order of the chapters, they generally have a beginning and end structure.There are many places where Daiyu has been written about before. If you want to write about the Bisha cabinet, you should write about it at the earliest. Why did you "back" so far after you finished writing Qingwen's death?

Second, the term "Pretty in Pink" is not used when writing about young girls. (Huchang immediately agreed, and cited many examples in poems and dramas, explaining that this term only refers to "young women in the boudoir".) 3. If you want to talk about emotional intimacy and being in the same room since childhood (never, let alone "couch"), then you should say "dream souls are not separated from each other" instead of "multiple tents"— —This is the words that although the room is the same, but the dream soul has not communicated. 4. The tone and content of this poem should be related to Baochai, but I can't find any other plots for the scene, so I think it is written "embroidered mandarin ducks". Marriage" affair.

In this way, Hu Chang finally understood my original meaning (because I didn't make it clear in the past, and because I mistakenly wrote it as "knowledge and determination").He agreed, saying that sure enough, this poem does not seem to be about Daiyu. At this time, we suddenly remembered almost at the same time: this poem was not written about Baochai eighty chapters ago, but actually happened after eighty chapters.She couldn't think of this before, so she could only find "Meng Zhaojiang Yunxuan" once.Now it seems that the phrase "红粉" is just as we deduced, implying that although the name is married, it is not a match in reality ("Pogua" is commonly used to mean "broken body", found in "Popular Edition"), and even though they share the same bed, But the dream soul is still far away, which is the original meaning of the so-called "Meng soul has multiple tents".
