Dream of the Red Chamber Continued Text 74: Wang Xifeng was imprisoned, Liu Grandma secretly took Ban'er and Qiao Sister to meet her, and on the spot, they visited the church to become relatives, and after everyone left, Wang Xifeng chose to die.
(The logic of this article:After Jia Fu was raided, Baoyu, Wang Xifeng, and others were imprisoned.) Grandma Liu and others rescue Sister Qiao, and with the help of Jia Yun and Lin Hongyu, meet Wang Xifeng at the prison temple. ）
01
Life is impermanent, Wang Xifeng stood in the prison temple, looking at the god statue, his heart was full of tastes, and his tears couldn't help but flow down.
Before going to prison, she only believed in power and strength, did not believe in ghosts and gods, and even did not believe in retribution.
During Qin Keqing's funeral, she stayed at the Steamed Bun Nunnery, and Jing Hui Lao Ni begged her to help fight the lawsuit, and in order to embezzle the reward of three thousand taels of silver, she said unashamedly: You know me on Su Ri, and you never believe in what is the retribution of Yin Si Hell. You told him to take three thousand pieces of silver, and I breathed this for him. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 15th)
But now she has sunk to the bottom of her life, especially thinking of her daughter Qiaojie, who can only get some comfort by praying to the gods.
"Grandma Liu, did Sister Qiao rescue her?" ......”
"Mother..." A cry sounded, and the voice really came from behind.
Wang Xifeng turned back and saw Grandma Liu pulling two people behind her. Look closely, one is a young man from the countryside, and the other is his daughter Qiaojie, who is worried about day and night.
Mother and daughter met after the disaster, hugged each other, and cried together.
02
Holding back the crying, Wang Xifeng carefully looked at Sister Qiao, still the old appearance of the past, it seems that in the fireworks alley, Sister Qiao has not been insulted, remembering that Grandma Liu said when she first named her daughter, after taking the name of Sister Qiao, you can be more grateful to Grandma Liu.
Just as she was about to kowtow to Grandma Liu, Lin Hongyu and Jia Yun were transferred from behind.
The two saw Wang Xifeng and knelt down together.
Grandma Liu persuaded everyone to talk about the experience of saving Sister Qiao.
Jia Yun was the son of the fifth sister-in-law under the West Corridor, and later begged Wang Xifeng to give him a job planting trees and grass; during this period, he became acquainted with Lin Hongyu, who gave Wang Xifeng a ring, and after the fall of Jia Province, Lin Hongyu successfully married Jia Yun with the help of his parents.
The grace of the dripping water is repaid with a gushing spring. Both of them are benevolent people and have received the favor of Wang Xifeng, so after Sister Qiao was sold into fireworks alley, the two were very anxious. In order to rescue Sister Qiao, they find the drunk Ni Er.
Ni Er was nicknamed Drunken King Kong. Although it is a city that "specializes in heavy debts, eats idle money in the gambling arena, and manages to eat wine", it is quite a righteous hero. Jia Yun originally generously lent Jia Yun the silver he had just received in order to "officially say" Wang Xifeng. Now that I heard that I wanted to save people, I still fought against righteousness and helped Jia Yun rescue Sister Qiao. (Reference: In the 24th episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Li Yanzhai left two important comments: "The indispensable text in the book", this person is an "indispensable person", and said that "if you write today, you will add another 'chi' word to the layman of the city, then it has a deep meaning"; "Drunken King Kong returned to the text, And Fu Yun Brother fought the righteous exploration of the temple.") ”）
After Jia Yun and others rescued Sister Qiao, they did not know how to settle it. At this time, Jia Fu was raided, and Jia Yun naturally could not take sister Qiao in.
Grandma Liu's family is generally poor, and it is difficult to take Sister Qiao in.
Therefore, everyone decided to let Wang Xifeng's mother and daughter meet before deciding.
03
The big decision is not a conspiracy, and only one person can make a decision at the critical time. Wang Xifeng was a shrewd person, and he knew that only he could make up his mind at this time.
Sister Qiao is a famous bridesmaid, who should have had a good ending in life and married a rich family, but at this time and another time, after Jia Fu was raided, she could have a safe place, and the family that protected her was a great fortune in misfortune.
Looking at the board next to Grandma Liu, she suddenly thought of a past event.
Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Mu warmly welcomed her. When everyone visited Jia Tanchun's room together, "Sister Qiao was playing with a large grapefruit, and when she suddenly saw Ban'er holding a Buddha hand, she also wanted a Buddha hand." Yahuan coaxed her to take it, and the eldest sister couldn't wait, so she cried. The crowd busied themselves with Yuzu and TheBan'er, and coaxed the Ban'er's Buddha hand over to her. That board because of the stubborn half a day of Buddha's hand, at this moment with both hands grasping some fruit to eat, and suddenly saw this grapefruit fragrant and round, more stubborn, and when the ball kicked to play, there is no need for Buddha's hand. At that time, she thought that this matter might be a matter of marriage. (Reference: The 41st time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", The comment of Li Yanzhai is: "Children's common feelings, so thousands of miles of volts.") He also said, "Yuzu, the genus of the present incense circle, should be connected with the fate; the Buddha's hand is referring to the one who is confused." With a child's play, the veins of the front and back are penetrated. ”）
Thinking of this, she made a bold decision: let Qiao Jie marry Ban'er.
04
Grandma Liu listened and was shocked.
After thinking about it, I immediately understood Wang Xifeng's thoughts. But she was a little embarrassed.
Although he is an ordinary family, if Ban'er can recruit a lady who is very beautiful as a wife, it can only be achieved by the ancestral smoke. Although Sister Qiao is Miss Qianjin of the Jia family, she already has the life label of a fireworks woman at this time.
A family marrying a fireworks woman as a daughter-in-law has to bear the gossip of the neighbors in the village, and the huge moral pressure is unbearable. However, Wang Xifeng had a favor for his family, and if he did not have the 20 taels of silver that he had originally given away, his family might have been destroyed long ago. Fame is not worth mentioning compared to being alive. (Reference: In the 6th time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", when Grandma Liu told Wang Xifeng about her family's difficulties, Li Yanzhai left a comment: "The old woman has the heart to endure shame, so there is a matter of recruiting a big sister later." ”）
Wang Xifeng saw that Grandma Liu was a little hesitant, immediately knew what she was thinking, and decisively took the next action.
She pulled Sister Qiao to kneel down for Grandma Liu, and without waiting for Grandma Liu to speak, she said on her own: "Sister Qiao prostrated to Grandma Liu, and from now on, when she marries Ban'er as a wife, she must honor her grandmother and send her to the end of her life." ”
Grandma Liu tearfully lifted the two of them up.
Wang Xifeng stood up on her own, but let Sister Qiao still fall to her knees.
"Grandma, it is better to choose the day than to collide with the sun, so let them become relatives today."
Grandma Liu hesitated, and finally pulled Ban'er to kneel, Jia Yun and Lin Hongyu testified, and Sister Qiao and Ban'er prostrated to Wang Xifeng in the prison temple according to the wedding rules and officially married. (Reference: In the 5th episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Sister Qiao's judgment reads: DefeatEd by Hugh Yungui, the family is dead. Occasionally, because of the Liu clan, he happened to meet a benefactor. ）
The good times are always very short, the prison temple is not home, after Sister Qiao and Ban'er finished, Wang Xifeng took the initiative to urge them to leave as soon as possible.
After her daughter left with Grandma Liu and the others, Wang Xifeng felt that there was no blood below. (Basis: In the 74th episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", after Wang Xifeng inspected the Grand View Garden at night, "Who knew that at night, it was connected several times, and the blood below was not stopped.") She knew that the bloodslide had relapsed.
Sister Qiao is married to Ban'er, has a safe place, and will not be displaced again. Although Grandma Liu is a peasant woman, she is a person who has seen the world and knows the details of Sister Qiao, so she will treat her daughter kindly, she is in prison, her heart is already in prison, her life is hopeless, she lives by herself, she will only add trouble to Sister Qiao, in addition to aggravating her illness, instead of living on the spot and enduring endless pain, it is better to die, thinking of this, Wang Xifeng had the idea of asking for death.
On the day she left the prison temple, Grandma Liu returned home and zhang luo's marriage between Ban'er and Qiao Jie.
On the night that Sister Qiao and Ban Er entered the cave room, the night when her daughter's life turned over and began a new beginning, Wang Xifeng committed suicide and died, ending her life.
