Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau, Jia Tianxiang is taking the wind and the moon Both Qingwen and Xiren are well written in this book, and the meaning of criticism is also very clear.Especially Qingwen, she died tragically in the seventy-seventh episode, she was the unluckiest person in the Grand View Garden, and at the same time the luckiest person in it.How lucky is she to have our art master create such a complete image under his pen, which will live in people's hearts forever, making thousands of people shed tears, and also won a "Fu Rong Ye" that is full of love and prose .

First of all, we must mention the booklet of the fifth chapter.The booklet prophesies that the endings of the twelve beauties are each a picture, and the following are some explanations. As far as everything in the book and what we know, they are all consistent, there is only one exception: Qingwen. The word "Qingwen" means clouds on a sunny day, but the painting is "just a paper full of dark clouds and fog dyed with ink".In the past, I only thought of what it means to get meaning, but I still don't understand it.Qingwen's name was taken from her personality and life, which is also the saying in the book that "the moon is rare to meet, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse".However, it drew dark clouds and mist, referring to her experience, those smoky environments, the so-called "rumors and criticisms" in the text.This is the only special pen in the booklet of twelve hairpins.

Qingwen left her name on this dangerous fifth round, and was ranked among the four maidservants, but luckily it was only a flash, and there was no follow-up.It wasn't until the eighth time that he floated up, and had a conversation with Baoyu, as if hearing his voice, as if seeing him.At that time, there was no Yihong Academy, and her status was much lower than that of Xiren.Later, in the era of Yihongyuan, she gradually became more important, and her status gradually improved, not only surpassing Sheyue Qiuwen, etc., but also ranking first in Baoyu's heart.However, her status, because she agrees with Baoyu, is neither obtained by cleverness, nor by exclusion.She has become the first popular person in Yihong Courtyard, but her life history book never mentioned it, until the seventy-seventh time when she was kicked out, it was said that her family only had an uncle who was a drunkard Brother, named Duohun Chong.

The author likes someone like Qingwen and sympathizes with her, these tendencies are obvious; but he never hides her flaws, and it seems that they are not small.For example, she is arrogant, bitter, and arrogant, which is very harmful to the little girls.Chapter 52 writes that she pokes Zhui'er with a "Yizhangqing" (a kind of long-eared pick), and Zhui'er cries and screams in pain.This was a common occurrence in feudal families. Zhui'er became a thief again, and Qingwen hated her, not because of jealousy; but she was cruel and cruel after all.There is no need to deny this.Recounting her life experience in Reply 77, "She is very clever and sharp-tongued" (page 878), but the author turns around in that sentence, "But she still doesn't forget the old days", which shows the clear Although Wen is very sharp on the surface, she is honest in her bones.

Leaving Qingwen aside temporarily, bring up the attacker.In this book, Xiren is always the opposite of Qingwen; for example, one is bitter, the other is gentle, the other is sophisticated, the other is naive and so on.The author's attitude towards them is just the opposite.Although writing Xiren is a compliment on the surface, it is pure derogation in the heart, and there are very few real compliments.For example, the third chapter is called "pure heart, willing to do their duty", which seems to be correct.The fifth chapter is called "Gentle and gentle, like osmanthus and orchid", these eight characters are also good test words; but two words "in vain" and "kongyun" are added to each of them, which immediately turns praise into derogation.It is very clear that there are more derogations than praises, and praises are also derogations.As for the name of Xiren, there are two explanations in this book, one in the third chapter and the other in the twenty-third chapter.In Chapter 23, Jia Zheng especially disliked the name Xiren: "It doesn't matter what the girl's name is, who is so tricky and named her like that?" There are all kinds of wild guesses about it, some people call it "slut" in homonym, and some people call it "Dragon Clothes Man", let's not talk about it.That is, the painting in the brochure is also related to the word "attack".The book says: "A bouquet of flowers is painted, and a bed of broken mats". The "seat" means "attack", it's nothing more than a seat, why draw a broken seat?How to explain the name "Xi Ren" is unknown, but it is not a good name anyway.Besides, she was ranked second in the sub-volume, which may be meant as a compliment.Judging by her position in the book, she should have been listed first.

There are many stories about attacking people in this book.She seduces, surrounds, and coerces Baoyu, excludes and frames her companions, agrees with and flatters Mrs. Wang, the ruler of the family: I won't talk about it one by one.The most prominent point of her character is to learn the new and forget the old, even to the point of being unlucky. The author never let go of this clue. From the beginning to the end of the article, she married Jiang Yuhan. and also.When she appeared, she wrote: This attacker is also a little crazy. When he served Jia Mu, he only had one Jia Mu in his heart; now that he has Baoyu, he only has one Baoyu in his heart. (three or four pages)

A character like this is called "some idiot", which is wonderfully reserved.Let's turn to the language again, it will kill the scenery.In the thirty-second chapter, borrowing Shi Xiangyun's mouth again slightly teased: Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "You still said, we were so good at that time, and then our wife passed away, and my family went to live for a while, so why did you send you with the second brother. When I come, you don't want to wait for me first." Me." (page 334) Let's see how the attacker responded: Xiren laughed and said, "You still say, first sister is long, and sister is short, coaxing me to comb your hair and wash your face, do this and that; now that you are older, you will take out the money of the young lady. Since you took the young lady How dare I get close to you." Shi Xiangyun said: "Amitabha! You are wronged! If I want to do this, I will die immediately..."

Xiren's words are unreasonable, but what Xiangyun said was honest.If you take out the lady's money, you won't be Shi Xiangyun in Li. Xiren's character is exactly the opposite of Qingwen's "but still not forgetting the past". Although the author did not let go of this clue, he wrote it very implicitly. He praised him very much, and even said that "Qingqing is not as far away as Xiqing" [23].He said that after Xiren got married, he also "enshrined Yuxiong Baoqing to get the same beginning and end"[24]. It is impossible to know the details of what happened afterwards. Naturally, Zhi Yanzhai knew more than we do today, but his words cannot be fully believed. I believe It has been said before [25].

The author praises her positively and derogates her negatively, although the wording is implicit but the meaning is clear.Let's talk about the relationship between Qingwen and her again.In my opinion, attacking people is inherently taboo. The so-called "pure-hearted, gentle and docile" and so on are really just words, and in fact they are not like that at all.Her jealousy is not limited to Qingwen, and she refuses to let others go easily, but her main target is Qingwen.Qingwen's jealousy has its own reasons for her jealousy. The brochure's so-called "flirty and dexterous attract people's resentment, and longevity is mostly due to slander", which is a general comment, and Xiren cannot be blamed exclusively; but Xiren's jealousy framed Qingwen. Is the truth.

The struggle between Xiren and Qingwen started with 31 chapters of "Tearing the Fan and Making a Golden Smile", with 52 chapters of "Yong Qingwen's Sickness, Repairing the Bird's Golden Fur" as the middle peak, and 77 chapters of "Pretty Maid". "Bao Qu Yao Merry" is the ending.Xiren is jealous of Qingwen, and deliberately wants to get rid of her. The reasons are very complicated, which can be summed up in a few points: 1. The rebellious characters of Xiren and Baoyu are not compatible at all. Xiren thinks that Baoyu is eccentric, and refuses to listen to his repeated admonitions (page 3, page 3).Although Xiren is Baoyu's loyal concubine, he is not Baoyu's boudoir confidant; and Qingwen's relationship with Baoyu is mainly because of sexual sympathy.

2. In the sixth chapter, Xiren already had a sexual relationship with Baoyu, and the description was quite obscene, making Xiren very unbearable (pages 59 and 60 of the sixth chapter); while Qingwen was always innocent. 3. Because of this, Xiren regarded Baoyu as a "forbidden property" and did not allow others to get their hands on it; but Qingwen not only refused to buy this account, but also exposed her face to face: "I don't know who you are, don't make me feel ashamed for you." Even what you did secretly, you can’t hide it from me, so we’ll be called ‘we’ there.” (Page 31, page 35) It’s not surprising that Yu Qingwen is gnashing her teeth. . 4. As far as Qingwen is concerned, she herself said that she has no personal feelings, which is the truth, but she did win Baoyu's heart.Thirty-one chapters that started with the struggle said that Baoyu and Qingwen were only a small quarrel, but Xiren tried to persuade them by being a good person on the surface, which led to a big battle between Qing and Xi.The result of the struggle was "tearing the fan and making a smile", which was really a big failure for Xiren.At the end of the tearing fan, Sheyue borrowed Xiren's henchman to express his displeasure, but Xiren didn't appear on the stage at all until Baoyu called her to change clothes and come out (page 328).The book doesn't mention that Xiren has any indications, and it goes without saying that Xiren has been jealous of Qingwen since then. After briefly talking about the above four points, let's look at the fifty-second chapter of the so-called "Zhongfeng".This time Xiren didn't have any conflict because his mother was away from home, but two things happened in Yihong Courtyard.One is that Qingwen found out that Zhui'er was stealing and sent her away: After hearing this, Nanny Song knew what happened to the bracelet, and said with a smile, "Although I said so, I will send him after Miss Hua comes back to find out." Yes, what about the flower girl and the grass girl, we naturally have a reason. You just follow my advice and ask his family to lead him out." Musk Moon said: "That's all, go early and go at night, take him away. Let’s go and have a quiet day.” (Chapter 52, p. 568) He didn't wait for any flower girl or grass girl to come, and dealt with it by himself.The second is of course mending fur.Wait for Xiren to come home and see how she is? Sheyue then told Xiren one by one what Ping'er had said about Song's mother Zhui'er and what Qingwen had driven out and sent back to Baoyu.Xiren didn't say anything, only that he was too hasty. (Chapter 53, pages 572 and 573) The implication is, "Why didn't you wait for me to come?" There is no mention of mending Qiu in the book.But the matter of chasing the child is small, but the matter of repairing the fur is big.Qingwen has the style of Prime Minister Zhuge's "devotion to his heart and soul". In terms of attacking people, it seems that she has a serious problem in her heart. How can she let it go? Let's see what happens next.After an interval of ten times, the sixty-second time said: Xiren laughed and said, "We all went, but you couldn't." Qingwen said, "But I'm the first one to go. I'm lazy, stupid, bad-tempered, and useless." He laughed and said: "If there is another hole in the peacock jacket, who will repair it after you go! Don't play tricks with me. I'll bother you to do something, keep your lazy horizontal needle from touching, The vertical line doesn’t move. Usually it’s not my private affairs that bother you, it’s his anyway, so you don’t want to do it. Why did I go there for a few days, and you were so sick that you didn’t even care about your life overnight. Made it? What’s the reason for this? Don’t just pretend to be silly and laugh at me when you talk, it’s nothing.” (pp. 690, 691) Here Mingdian Xiren is obsessed with this matter, and if he uses the dark field again, it will not be clear enough.Of course, we all sympathize with Qingwen, but since Qingwen is deeply jealous of attacking people, the attacking people will inevitably have "Song Taizu's intention to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty", "how can people sleep soundly on the side of the couch", as in the seventy-ninth chapter (Page 909) Jingui is in Xiangling, so he decides to kill Qingwen.Killer, a profound word.A person with a high heart and a strong personality like Qingwen, who was kicked out under the eyes of everyone, would naturally die of anger in one breath, and the difference between kicking out and killing is only an ear.If Xiren said, "He is more delicate than others, and he doesn't get up like this", Zhen Baoyu's so-called "open my heart" (see Chapter 77, page 876 for all). Mrs. Wang's attack on the general manager of Yihong Court was actually instigated by the insiders in the court.Up to the eighty chapters of the book, Xiren has always given her a "serious, courteous, generous and honest" face (all seventy-eight chapters in the words of Mrs. Wang), so there are a lot of undertones.There is no Xiren slandering Mrs. Wang about Qingwen's affairs in the book, only the long conversation between Xiren and Mrs. Wang is recorded in the thirty-fourth chapter, which is called "Small Knowledge", which is actually a big truth, called a big truth, and actually It is a well-crafted slander; in name, it mentions "Miss Lin and Miss Bao", but in fact it specializes in Daiyu, and there will be no similar records in the future, until this time bomb explodes.The so-called non-narrative narrative.Since there is no description, how do you know it?Know it from both ends.At the end of the thirty-fourth chapter, Mrs. Wang solemnly exhorted her like this: There is only one more sentence: Since you have said such a thing now, I will hand him over to you, be careful anyway.If you save him, you save me.I naturally live up to you. (Chapter 34, page 356) Is there any reason for attackers not to report secretly?She has become Mrs. Wang's "fifth column" in Yihongyuan. This is the beginning, and looking at the results of the outbreak, it proves that she has never spoken more than once, and she has already laid the line of fire.This does not wait for us to say today, Baoyu has already said: Now let's talk about Baoyu. It's no big deal if Mrs. Wang doesn't come to check and check.The blame is all in ordinary language, and I don't like a single word... Baoyu cried: "I don't know what a heinous crime Qingwen has committed!" Xiren said: "Madam only thinks that he was born too well, so he is a bit frivolous. Mrs. Zai knows that such a beautiful person will not be quiet, so she dislikes him very much. It's better to be as thick and clumsy as us." Baoyu said: "That's all. How do we know if we talk obstinately in private? It's strange for outsiders to go out of their way." The attacker said, "What taboo do you have? When you are happy for a while, you don't care whether there are people or nobody. I have winked and passed secret signs before, and that person has already known You don't realize it." Baoyu said: "Why is everyone's wife and wife know, but you and Sheyue Qiuwen are not singled out?" Hearing this, Xiren's heart moved, and he bowed his head for a long time, feeling helpless Answered, Yin smiled and said, "Exactly. If there is a place where Meng Lang, who was naughty and inattentive, would go, why did my wife forget it? I think there are other things, and we will be released after it is over. I don't know." Baoyu He laughed and said: "You are the first person who is famous for being good and virtuous, and you educated the two of them, so why should Meng Lang deserve to be punished! It's just that Fang Guan is still young and is too clever. Yiqiang overwhelms people and is annoying. Sier, I missed him, or was he called up to do some fine work from the day I quarreled with you that year, which inevitably took the position, so today. But Qingwen is also with you. Like you, I came here from the old lady's house when I was a child. Although he was born stronger than others, it didn't hinder us much. It's just that he has a sharp temperament and sharp words, and he never offended you after all. I think he was born too good. , but was misled by this kindness." After finishing speaking, he began to cry again.Xiren said this carefully, as if Baoyu had doubts about him, so he couldn't persuade him any more, because he sighed: "God knows. At this time, no one can be found out. It's useless to cry for a while. It's to keep your spirit up." , When the old lady likes it, it is reasonable to ask him to come in after she understands." Baoyu sneered: "You don't have to be lenient to my heart..." (pp. 875, 876) Baoyu can be said to be perceptive and not confused at all.Originally, he was also rarely confused.No outsider has been caught in the wind, who said it?Assault.There are two evidences: 1. In this exile, everyone who opposes Xiren has a share, and Xiren's party members are not included. 2. Four children are included.Apparently it was done by attackers, who else in Yihong courtyard besides her?In fact, this is superfluous, Baoyu has already said it.If the text in the book says so: It turns out that after Mrs. Wang got upset that day, Wang Shanbao's family went to take advantage of the situation and sued Qingwen. Some people in this place were not at ease with the garden, so they just casually said something.Mrs. Wang kept it all in her heart. (874 pages) In fact, how can Mrs. Wang believe in Mrs. Xing's accompanying room.These are just official announcements.
