Fun Kan Red Chamber 242: Narcissus Lamei, Xue Baoqin is smart and can be a man, Xihai Yanzi, zhenzhenguo daughter is good at writing poetry
Qingwen was ill, and after eating Wang Taiyi's medicine, jia Baoyu took out the Western medicine Wang Qia Yangyan and the "Yifu Na" headache medicine for her to use.
The Jia family had a large number of Western imports, which were popular and fashionable among the high-society aristocrats at that time. Many "foreign" things that have only entered the homes of ordinary people hundreds of years later have not been strange.
When Musk Yue returned from Wang Xifeng, she informed Jia Baoyu that tomorrow was Prince Teng's birthday, and Lady Wang asked him to go to his uncle in the morning to pay homage to his uncle and prepare his clothes in advance. Musk Yue asked him which one he wanted to wear, and he had nothing to do, just saying that it was a birthday that couldn't be done all year round, so let's wear whatever.
There are two points to note in this passage. First, if the attacker wants to be at home, he will personally make the most suitable clothes, and there is no need to ask Jia Baoyu what he is wearing.
Second, Jia Baoyu is a young man who is very attentive to going out and dressing up. Musk Yue did not attack people accurately, so she asked him "how".
Jia Baoyu was busy with family affairs and thought of going to Xichun to see the paintings. As soon as I went out, I happened to run into Xue Baoqin's handmaiden "XiaoLuo". Notice that the name of this lady is related to "sea". Her appearance leads to a plot related to the "sea".
Jia Baoyu asked Xiao Luo where to go, and she said that she was going to Xiaoxiang Hall, and said that Baoqin and Baochao were talking to Lin Daiyu. Jia Baoyu heard that they were going to go together, so as soon as they turned a corner, they entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
(Fifty-second time) Not only were the Baochao sisters here, but even Xing Xiuyan was there, and the four of them sat around the smoke cage to talk about their families. The purple crane sat upside down in the warm cabinet, making needlework in the window. When they saw him coming, they all laughed and said, "Here comes another one!" But there's no place for you to sit. Bao Yu smiled and said, "What a 'Winter Girl Collection'!" Unfortunately I was one step too late. The horizontal and vertical rooms are warmer than the rooms, and it is not cold to sit on this chair. With that, he sat down on a chair that Dai Yu used to sit on with a gray rat chair.
When we usually read "Dream of the Red Chamber", we often pay attention to conflicts, events and character relationships. It's easy to overlook the beauty of everyday life.
Like jia baoyu's "winter boudoir collection" that he saw when he entered the door, it was the real harmonious scene of the Grand View Garden.
The daily life of daguanyuan is not always gathered in Luxue Guanglian poems, nor is it always seen in Xichun to see the painting riddles.
More often than not, the sisters gather in groups of three or five. Just like this XiaoxiangGuan four beauty gathering, Xing Xiuyan undoubtedly came to see Lin Daiyu. They have a lot of similar personalities and should be talked about. They are all Gusu people, and they are more topical.
Although the original text does not write that Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan are close, readers should think of this layer. Lin Daiyu is homesick, and through Xing Xiuyan, she can learn more about her hometown customs.
Xue Baoqin came in with four pots of flowers from Lai Everyone, and she asked Xue Baochao to give gifts.
Therefore, Shi Xiangyun did not come with him when he lived with Him. It is convenient to give and receive gifts, which is human sophistication.
As a result, Bao Chao and Bao Qin met Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan, so the four of them sat on the smoke cage and talked. One is warm, the other is close.
What Jia Baoyu saw when he came in was this harmonious scene, and it was also the reason why the others were not there.
Note that xue baoqin here "gives gifts", and you have to look at the last time Aunt Xue arranged for Zhou Rui's family to send palace flowers.
First of all, Lai everyone gave Xue Baoqin two pots of plums, two pots of daffodils, that is, Shunshui people's feelings, so that Xue Baoqin can give gifts.
What does Baoqin live in Jia's mother's room? But if Baoqin wants to give gifts, it is not as pleasing as these flowers, and everyone is very good at doing things.
Secondly, Xue Baoqin's candidates for gifts were not Xue Baochao, Shi Xiangyun, Li Feng, Jia Yingchun, Jia Xichun, or even Jia Baoyu. Instead, jia tanchun and Lin Daiyu were selected, and they were also smart.
Jia Tanchun is the master, and Xue Baoqin lives in Jia Tanchun's home. Sending her is equivalent to sending all the Jia family members in rongguo mansion. Jia Tanchun was liked by Jia Mu and Madame Wang, and it was not wrong to give gifts.
Lin Daiyu is Jia Mu's favorite, Baoqin lives in Jia Mu's place, and sends Dai Yu to make Jia Mu happy. Of course, Lin Daiyu's outstanding also makes Baoqin close and convincing, and it is inevitable to send her.
Therefore, Cao Xueqin did not have idle writing in her pen, and everything was clearly arranged and clearly.
However, Xue Baoqin sent flowers to Jia Tanchun and Lin Daiyu, and another important foreshadowing was Cao Xueqin's use to elicit Baoqin's importance of "West Sea Yanzi".
Through the previous interpretation, the relationship between Xiaoxiang Concubine Lin Daiyu and the second daughter of Jia Tanchun, a guest under the banana, is extremely special. Their final outcome was to emulate Xiao Xiang's concubine Princess Ying'er and her second daughter to marry a husband and marry a foreign country as a princess. There, Lin Daiyu quickly died in tears. However, because of Daiyu's death, Jia Tanchun was lucky enough to sit in the position of princess and glorify his life.
Xiaoxiang Hall "has a phoenix to yi", and in the backyard there is "a large pear blossom and a plantain". It indicates that Dai Yu and Jia Tanchun will leave together.
Qiu Shuangzhai was planted all over the sycamores, "There is a large case of pear marble in the local area, and there are various celebrity Legal Posts on the case, and dozens of square treasure stones, various color pen holders, and pens inserted in the pen sea like a forest." "It indicates that Tanchun and Daiyu will leave together."
Jia Tanchun's judgment depicts "Two people flying kites, a sea, a big boat, and a woman in the boat hides her face and weeps." It indicates that after Daiyu's death, only Jia Tanchun is left alone overseas.
Jia Tanchun's apricot blossom sign "red apricot leaning on the cloud planting on the side of the sun", "cloud" is Daiyu, Qingwen is cloud, and Qing is Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu's hibiscus flower sign "Mo complains about the East Wind when he is self-congratulatory", borrowing the story of Zhaojun out of the plug to allude to Lin Daiyuyuan marrying a foreign country as a princess, which is the same as Jia Tanchun's ending.
The varieties of twenty fans are "Xiangfei, Jade Bamboo, Elk, and Brown Bamboo".
The stone nerd is Jia Baoyu, and the loss of the fan is "lost". XiangFei is Xiaoxiang Concubine Lin Daiyu, and Elk is Jia Tanchun, a guest under the banana.
Jia Baoyu was killed like a stone idiot (Feng Yuan), and was robbed of Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun (Xiangling) by the alien king (Dumb King).
The foreshadowing of the plot before and after can be corresponded one by one. The end of Jia Tanchun and Lin Daiyu is undoubtedly to marry an overseas foreign country. So, where were they married?
Xue Baoqin sent a pot of lamei to Jia Tanchun, and another pot of daffodils to Lin Daiyu. By means of the "sea" of the "small snail" of yatou, Jia Baoyu is to tell the reader that the destination of the two "sea people" of Daiyu and Tanchun is about to be revealed, and the "xiaoluo" of the yatou is the needle lead.
Are you saying it's a coincidence? This is Cao Xueqin's elaborate arrangement.
The detail of "Narcissus" should not be easily skipped. The second day of the first month of September is Wang Xifeng's birthday, and that morning Jia Baoyu went to the Shuixian Nunnery to pay tribute to Jin Jun'er and shed tears at the statue of Luoshen.
Like the "Daughter of Furong", the real tribute is Lin Daiyu. Furong is a daffodil, and Lin Daiyu eventually returns to the sea and is also a daffodil.
Lin Daiyu also joked: "I can't leave the fire for a day, I am actually cultivating medicine, where can I still hold the fragrance of flowers to smoke?" It's getting weaker. Moreover, there was a medicinal fragrance in this room, but it spoiled the fragrance of flowers. If you lift it, the flower will be clean, and there will be no miscellaneous smell to stir him. Bao Yu smiled, "There are also patients in my room decocting medicine today, how do you know?" Dai Yu smiled, "This is strange, I was originally unintentional, who knows what happened in your house?" If you don't come early to hear about the ancient book, this will come, and you will be surprised and self-explanatory. ”
Qingwen's illness laid the groundwork for a tragic death after being beaten in the future. And Lin Daiyu will also "die in tears" after leaving the Jia family. Cao Xueqin is interlocked in the plot design, and there is no chaos at all.
Bao Qin smiled and said, "This statement, it can be seen that the sister is not really starting the society, this is clearly difficult." If you talk about it, it is also twisted out, but what is the fun of turning around and getting some words from the "I Ching" to fill in. When I was eight years old, I went with my father to buy foreign goods on the edge of the West Sea, and who knew that there was a girl from the True Kingdom, who was only fifteen years old, and her face was the same as that of the beauty in the Western painting, and she was also covered with yellow hair and hanging, and her head was full of precious stones such as coral, cat's eyes, and emeralds; she was wearing a gold silk lock armor and brocade sleeve; she was wearing a knife, which was also inlaid with gold inlays, and she was not as good as him in the painting. Some people say that he understands Chinese poetry books, can speak the Five Classics, and can compose poems to fill in the words, so my father was annoyed with a general official, and he wrote a word, and he wrote a poem he composed. ”
Xiao Luo or Narcissus is all to elicit the story of that year told by Xue Baoqin, the Western girl who is "true to the country", and the "Han poems" she composed.
To say that Westerners envy Chinese culture, they have long been there. The Silk Road has also long spread Chinese civilization overseas. There are also Fa Xianxi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who went to Tianzhu and then crossed back to China in the east, Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty", "Journey to the West", Zheng He went to the West and so on to bring Chinese culture.
The exchanges between China and the Xihai along the Zitianzhu and Sri Lanka areas have become extremely mature by the time of "Dream of the Red Chamber". The continuous return to and from merchant ships is also the reason why Xue Baoqin and his father went abroad to buy foreign goods.
Xue Baoqin's style is better than hers, because the world she has seen abroad is far beyond everyone else. Reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles, which is most clearly reflected in Baoqin.
Where is the True Kingdom of the West Sea? If combined with the color of the Tea Soup of siamese tea that Wang Xifeng gave to everyone that day, it is speculated that it should be near Sri Lanka. Siamese tea is "Ceylon black tea". The "island country" is most likely the place where Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun stayed, and it is also the place where Lin Daiyu buried incense.
At the beginning, the Daizhu Immortal Grass on the banks of the Three Living Stones on the bank of the Western Spirit River eventually returned to dust and returned to the soil, or returned to the place where she "set off". It is also a kind of reincarnation consummation.
So, what does the girl of the true country mean by the poems she wrote? To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
