Chapter 48 The Ninth Floor "Red Mansion" Authentic Version (4)

Based on the above, the matter is quite clear, and the plot should be: on the issue of Daiyu, it was mainly because of Aunt Zhao's tricks (Jia Huan may have played tricks).She sees clearly that in order to destroy Baoyu, she must first destroy Daiyu, so she fabricates scandals and reports to Jia Zheng from time to time.When it happened that Yuanchun "Guan Nian" Baoyu's marriage, when Jia Zheng was called to discuss it together, Jia Zheng then "played" with Yuan Chun the rumors he got from Aunt Zhao (of course including Mrs. Wang's got from Xiren). .Yuanchun then "clearly ordered" to declare Daiyu to be "obscene" and appointed Baochai to be married.So far, Daiyu has no choice but to stay in the world, and Baoyu has only a dead end of "marriage according to order".

On this issue, although from the point of view of the plot relationship, the conspiracy is deep-rooted and originated from Jia Zheng's concubine and others, but from the ideological point of view of the work, it is Yuan Chun who is the main culprit of the feudal oppression and destruction of Bao and Dai. With Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. As for Sister Feng, although she has committed a lot of crimes, she is on the side of Baoyu in this important joint, not hostile.Between Bao and Dai, she is a contributing figure. From the time Daiyu entered the mansion until she talked and acted, resolved difficulties and resolved disputes, she always defended Bao and Dai. After giving tea to Daiyu, he secretly asked Daiyu in the meaning of "serve tea" [to set a wedding ceremony]: You have eaten our tea, why don't you become a wife for our family!), I will not wait to quote them one by one here.The Jia family failed, and her experience and fate were closely related to Baoyu.Gao E seems to turn a blind eye to all the above-mentioned relationships, why would it be weird if they are not deep?Even for such a major event, Gao E completely excused the feudal lords, Yuanchun and Jia Zheng, and used Sister Feng as a scapegoat.What's more, the "designed" masterpiece is just a very vulgar, superficial, and no ideological connotation at all.This is not a very advanced idea or method in literature and art, especially in tragedy literature.Cao Xueqin might not be willing to write something like this—nor would he be able to write it at all.

Some people may think that Jia Mu's "change of heart" and Sister Feng's "playing ghosts" in Gao E's writing of Bao and Dai incidents are all based on "not going against the lines of the original book".The reasons should be nothing more than: 1. When Jia Mu was "breaking the old stereotypes", she clearly criticized her daughter's love for a man as "a ghost can't be a ghost, and a thief can't be a thief", which is to oppose the relationship between Bao and Dai; The relative who wants to play the Baoqin for Baoyu; Third, Sister Feng also agrees with Jia Mu on this matter.Therefore, Gao E's continuation did not happen without a reason.But in fact, this is all out of illusion and misunderstanding.1. What Jia's mother "broke" is that "these books are all a set, and the left is just some beautiful people, the most boring"; what Jia Mu criticized was "I only saw a handsome man, no matter whether it is a relative or not." Friends, I think of life-long events."This so-called "love" in the "love at first sight" style of strangers, is quite different from the relationship between Bao and Dai in Cao Xueqin's works. The so-called "love" of the former was opposed by Cao Xueqin in the first chapter of the novel.It's hard to compare the two.2. When Mother Jia asked about Baoqin's Niangeng horoscope, she didn't say that she wanted to be Baoyu, but Aunt Xue just said that Baoqin already had a family.3. Sister Feng grabbed the word at this time and said that she wanted to be a matchmaker. Jia Mu also asked with a smile, "Who do you want to match?" ——It should be noted that this is the most cunning pen. Sister Feng is willing to say those funny things because she has already agreed to others. She knows that it is nonsense, so she might as well give it away; Knowing that Baoqin has been promised to Mei's family, we can't talk about it any further. Why do we ask Sister Feng instead, asking her to tell who she is a matchmaker for?It doesn't make sense.You should also contact Jia's mother in Qingxu Temple, "This child should not be married early, and we will decide when he is older." It's only been five months, but when Jia's mother sees Baoqin, she completely forgets all the important and complicated relationships around her that she has been worrying about and irritating all day long, and immediately wants to propose another marriage for Baoyu?How can this make sense?So when Zicuckoo tried Baoyu, he hypothesized, "I heard the old lady say during the year that I want to fix Miss Qin, otherwise, I love her so much?" Baoyu laughed and said, "Everyone just says I'm stupid, and you are more stupid than me— —It’s just a stubborn sentence.” Besides, as soon as Baoqin came, Mrs. Wang Xu of Ming Dynasty recognized her goddaughter first, and the relationship between Yu and Qin was fixed, so how can Jia’s mother say anything else?That's why Cao Xueqin wanted to write about Baoqin's "Inter-color Method", about Zijuan's advice to Daiyu, taking advantage of the old lady's presence, to make up her mind early, and about Aunt Xue comforting Daiyu, "Once I come up with this idea, the old lady will love it" and so on. The string of words is intended to imply that it was because Jia Mu didn't make it clear as soon as possible, so she wasted her time, and she was taken advantage of by Yuan Chun and Jia Zheng, tampering and destroying the established situation.In fact, when it comes to Jia's mother's problem, it is very clear.Because of her preference for Bao, Dai, and Feng, she had extremely sharp conflicts with Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao, such as "Da Cheng Zha Ta" and "Sister-in-law Meets Five Ghosts".Mother Jia knew that Aunt Zhao was playing tricks on Baoyu every day, so there was a scene where Aunt Zhao scolded Aunt Zhao in front of Jia Zheng, embarrassing Jia Zheng, just read what Mother Jia said:

What good would you wish him dead?Don't dream!He is dead, and I only want to kill you.On weekdays, it wasn't you who instigated him to force him to write and study, which frightened him out of his courage?Seeing his father, doesn't he look like a cat-and-mouse avoider?Was it not instigated by you whore?It's going to kill you, so you've made up your mind!I spare that one! Jia's mother cried and scolded, but "Jia Zheng was more and more sad when he heard these words, so he drank Aunt Zhao away."This relationship is explained most clearly. Looking at Jia Mu's marriage to Bao and Dai, not only has she already made up her mind, but everyone in the whole family knows it, which can be said to be an "open secret".For an example, please refer to the twenty-ninth chapter of Daoist Zhang discussing marriage with Baoyu, and Jia Mu's answer:

Last time, a monk said that this child should not be married early, and it will be decided when he is older.Now you are also asking, it doesn't matter if he is rich or not, as long as he looks good enough.Come and tell me.Even if the family is poor, it doesn't matter if you give him a few taels of silver, but his appearance and personality are rare. This is a manifestation of Jia's mother's "confidence". Don't think that she really wants to wait for Taoist Zhang to find one. At the same time, the words are aimed at the rich and snobbish eyes of Jia's people, talking about Daiyu's homelessness and loneliness, so she looks down on her. , Those who say they are "not worthy" express their attitude.On this point, isn't the Xue family the most "worthy"?But it can be seen that Jia Mu never considered the No. 1 wealthy family at all.What's more important is that at the end of the same return, Jia's mother cried anxiously because Bao and Dai were angry and made trouble when they came back, so she said "It's not that enemies don't get together", so that Bao and Dai seemed to be practicing Zen. As if to savor the meaning of these words, that is to say, this is the first time that Jia's mother has clearly expressed or revealed that she has a clue that she has a well-thought-out clue, which is a precious surprise for the two of them.But this time there is a "fat critic" who said:

Eryu's mind, this time a big book.It's hard to cut, but you can decide it with a word from the Taijun.It is the main purpose of Dao Xi Tong Bu Shu. This batch is shared by the two editions of "Gengchen Edition" and "Qi Xu Edition".This is the most clear big show, as long as you don't go deep into it, you will admit it.Here, the "Qi Preface" has another unique statement: A cry, always because of love.Gold and jade are speechless, how can we prove it! This is Zhi Yan, who has seen the full manuscript of the original book, clearly telling us: a major point in the book, Bao and Dai’s marriage, was originally evidenced by Jia’s mother’s words; "Golden jade and good match" is not about Jiamu's business at all. They not only tampered with Jiamu's original intention, but may even fabricate Jiamu's last words in the name of Jia, breaking the marriage contract that Jiamu wanted.So I said: "How can you prove it!"

In the sixty-sixth chapter, Miss You asked Xing'er about Baoyu's situation, and Xing'er said: It's just that he already has it, but he hasn't revealed it - Miss Lin will definitely decide the future!Because Miss Lin is very sick, and both of them are still young, they have not reached this point yet.In another three or two years, the old lady will speak up, and it will be absolutely accurate. It can be seen from this that all the people in Jia's mansion are very insightful about this matter, and they also agree with Jia's mother's words in Qingxu's view. The "old lady" was originally the advocate and "law protector" of this matter.

After understanding these principles, it can be seen that Gao E's sequel has completely tampered with the meaning of the original author for this series of key programs.Mr. Lu Xun's evaluation of the continuation book takes "not contrary to the line of the original book" as the standard of analysis.What standard do we use to measure Gao Xu?There is nothing else but to follow what Mr. Lu Xun pointed out to us, and to decide on the line of the original book, that is, to see whether the thought of the continuation book is consistent with the original author.That's why I scolded Gao E.

①Pay attention to the words of Zijuan in the fifty-seventh chapter: "...it's better if someone in your mother's family is powerful. If you are a girl, it's better to have an old lady; if there is no old lady, you can just rely on others to bully It's gone." This clearly implies that the enemy destroyed Daiyu after Jia Mu's death, not during her lifetime.
