Chapter 47 Authentic version of "Red Mansion" on the ninth floor (3)

Daiyu's death The reason why Daiyu died was not as Gao E wrote.The culprits who caused Daiyu's death were Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Zhao, but not Sister Feng or Mother Jia.During the tortuous course and various relationships, a general outline can be deduced from the lines and hints in the previous eighty chapters.Let me try to explain a bit now.The clues are more complicated, and the narrative is divided into paragraphs: 1. Yuan Chun didn't like Daiyu at all.When she rewarded things, there was a difference in thickness between Chai and Dai, which everyone has already seen.In fact, Cao Xueqin hinted at this first: In the "Visiting Relatives", due to Yuanchun's relationship, the word "Green Jade" was abolished twice and cannot be used. One is to change "Green Jade Spring Still Roll" to "Green Wax...".Baochai said: "He (Yuanchun) changed the word 'Yi Hong Kuai Green' because he didn't like the word 'red fragrance and green jade'; you are now using 'green jade', don't you intend to compete with him? "This pen is the most important.

1. But just because of this, love and dislike cannot decide the marriage, because "the teacher comes from no name", if you want to destroy Daiyu, you must have the crime of "righteousness".This, Yuan Chun is still unable to decide on his own, there must be someone else who provides the "crime". 1. For Baoyu's marriage, only Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were allowed to enter the palace to formally provide important opinions to Yuanchun.Jia Zheng himself could not convict Daiyu of the crime, because he did not really understand it. The one who "really understands" is a female relative, and she is the one who can pour slander into Jia Zheng's ear and pillow.This is Aunt Zhao.For example, in Chapter 73, Aunt Zhao's little maid, Xiao Que, came to report to Baoyu and said, "Let me tell you a letter. Just now our grandma said this in front of the master. Please pay attention to what the master will ask you tomorrow." .” This is the most noticeable place.

1. Aunt Zhao deliberately planned to harm Baoyu (and Sister Feng). Everyone has already understood this, so there is no need to repeat it.The way she harmed Baoyu was to slander Jia Zheng's ears from time to time.The subject of the gossip is not just the clauses of "not studying" and "loving obstinacy", but another big topic: that is, Bao and Dai have "things that are not talented"-this is the thing that most angers feudal parents and makes Jia The key issue is that the government deeply hates Baoyu.As Xiren said to Mrs. Wang: "Second master is getting older, and so are the girls in the house, besides, Miss Lin and Miss Bao are cousins ​​of the second aunt... If someone wants to say a bad word... Wouldn’t the second master’s reputation and conduct be over in his life? The second wife will hardly see the master.” This is the so-called big problem, so Mrs. Wang is like “thunder and lightning”.

1. Bao and Dai are intimate and do not avoid people. It can be said that it is an open fact. ——The only thing I avoid is Aunt Zhao.The evidence is very clear: in the fifty-second chapter, Bao and Dai were waiting to have a heart-to-heart talk, "I didn't finish a word, I saw Aunt Zhao came in to look at Daiyu", Daiyu was busy entertaining her, "while winking with Baoyu. Baoyu understood and walked out."The daily situation is self-evident. 1. This kind of evidence is still available.In the nineteenth chapter, when Daiyu saw that there was a little "blood stain" on Baoyu's face the size of a "button", she said, "You're doing these things again!... Even though my uncle couldn't see it, others saw it and took it as a novelty." Go imitate your tongue, blow it into my uncle's ears, and make everyone unclean and annoying!" This is what Aunt Zhao is clearly referring to. The phrase "everyone is not clean" is the most critical.It can be seen that Daiyu is deeply afraid of Aunt Zhao's slander and frame for her relationship with Baoyu.

1. Another example is Daiyu's heart-to-heart conversation with Baochai in the forty-fifth chapter, saying: "Look, these people here have hurt Baoyu and Feng girl because they see the old lady too much. They are still eyeing tigers and talking behind their backs. For me!...They already dislike me so much, and now I don’t know how to advance or retreat, why bother to ask them to curse me!" The words became more obvious. 1. The only thing that is disturbing is that Baoyu beat Jia Zheng that time. It was obviously because of Jiang Yuhan and Jin Chuan's incident, but in fact it still involved Bao and Dai's serious case.Why do you say this?Just look at Bao and Dai's expressions and expressions after the severe beating, and you can see clearly. ——Daiyu "Although there are thousands of words in my heart, I just can't say half a sentence. After half a day, Fang choked and said: 'You have changed everything from now on!'" Baoyu heard, "he sighed and said: 'Don't worry. Don't say such things. I died for these people, and I am willing. The situation has come to life.'" We should carefully understand the author's pen, and if we think that this is Daiyu deliberately asking Baoyu about Han , Chuan and others' attitudes, and it is necessary for Baoyu to make a "guarantee" to Daiyu that Gan will die and Chuan will die. Renew your determination for your own big things.This shows that this great turmoil is still caused by Daiyu; Han, Chuan, etc. are just leads and foils. ——We can also understand here: why after the beating, there is a close-up of the scene where Baoyu sends the handkerchief and Daiyu writes a poem?These pens and inks are the place where Cao Xueqin's bleak management is the most.Immediately after Baoyu was beaten, he wrote an attacker to speak to Mrs. Wang, especially "Miss Lin, Miss Bao". (Thus, when Mrs. Wang wanted to copy the Grand View Garden, her main target was Daiyu alone.)

First, if we change the context, Yuanchun is also a key figure directly involved in Baoyu's marriage.What is mentioned in the book is that Yuanchun had to perform two more plays during the "visiting relatives", but in the end the performances were "meeting" and "swearing each other".The first is the ritual ceremony of Qingxu Temple and its subsequent important plots.Let's break it down briefly: 1. Is watching a scene purely for the purpose of writing about funerals, watching a play, etc.?Not at all, it is about the big problem of Bao and Dai's marriage.Yuanchun's "will" is called a funeral, but it leads to the "representative" Taoist Zhang to propose a marriage for Baoyu.As a result, Zebao and Dai were both angry about this, and Jia Mu was also seriously anxious, causing an uproar. The seriousness of the situation is unique in Tongbushu.The author is a big book.

1. Yuan Chun appreciates Ling Guan's performance well, so he will do two more.Jia Qiang wanted to play "Garden Tour" and "Dream Startled", but Lingguan insisted on not doing it, and decided to play "Meeting" and "Swearing", but the result was up to her.This is an extremely important hint in Cao Xueqin's brushwork. "Meeting" and "Calling each other" were wonderful and famous dramas that were often performed at that time (especially mentioned in "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record"). The author cited it as a hint of the misfortune of the relationship between Bao and Dai through this "The Story of the Hairpin and Chuan Chuan".In "The Story of the Hairpin and Chuan Chuan", Bitao, the daughter of Shi Zhi, had a marriage contract with Huang Fulun's son Yin, but Yin was poor and could not marry immediately. Bitao sent her maid Yunxiang to Yin's house to make an appointment. The hairpin, the bracelet, and the silver are regarded as the capital of marriage (it is "meeting").The matter was found out by Yin's friend Han Shizhong, and Han blocked Yin from going with treachery, but he himself pretended to be a substitute, went to get the hairpin, and wanted to rape Bitao.Bitao refused.Because he didn't know that the real emperor Fu Yin failed to keep the appointment at all, the maid Yun Xiang went to Yin's house again to urge her to marry, and had an argument with Yin's mother (for "swearing each other").Bitao hated Shen Jiang and tried to commit suicide. ——From this, it can be seen that the scene performed in front of Jia Yuanchun implies that Bao and Daizhi were wronged, and Daiyu died unjustly (judging from various clues, it is suspected that Daiyu's death is related to suicide by sinking water), However, the person involved is still not aware of the fact that he was tricked by someone in the middle.

First, look at another clue: Everyone knows that "Furong Daughter" not only mourns Qingwen, but also "mourns" Daiyu.The most striking sentences in 诔, such as: If you recruit you, you will replace them, and you will end up being criticized.Not only is the deep and secluded in the endless, but the complex and intangible is in the infinity. ……Will you be lenient if you swindle a slave's mouth, but if you cut a shrew's heart, you will still feel angry! Cao Xueqin's brushwork is mostly reserved, full of grief and indignation, this is only seen, and the intensity of his feelings can be seen.The so-called slave shrew, in terms of Qingwen's death, is obviously denouncing Wang Shanbao's family, Xiren and others; but in terms of Daiyu's issue, it is an allusion to Aunt Zhao's party.

1. Everyone knows that when Qingwen was about to die, she still did not forget to confess to Baoyu that although she bore a "fake name", she was clean.It can be seen from this that the core of Aunt Zhao's slander is inseparable from the slander that Daiyu and Baoyu have been "ambiguous". 1. Looking at the "Funeral Flower Ci" again, the large-scale special book "The quality is clean and clean" is just a slanderous statement against the framer, not a general gossip.Before Qingwen died, Baoyu went to see each other in private, and Miss Deng said: "Who knows that you two are still not disturbing each other, but there are many grievances in the world!" The charges are clear.
