The beginning of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a rich gentleman holding his palm pearl to watch the lanterns at the Lantern Festival.
(1) Childhood, being abducted and sold
The rich gentleman is Zhen Shiyin of the Jiangnan Wang clan, and the pearl in his hand is four-year-old Zhen Yinglian. This was originally a happy family, but the lantern lights were too dazzling, so they lost the four-year-old Little Yinglian.
A child, ruined a family. Since then, Zhen Shiyin has disappeared into this world. The four died together, and Zhen Yinglian died on that Lantern Festival. The one who came back to life was Xiangling, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old Xiangling.
The sad Xiangling met Feng Yuan, who was her lover, but not her destination. Because in the blink of an eye, she became the concubine of the overlord Xue Pan. Finally, I stopped living a hard life, but I just went from a tiger's mouth into the wolf's den.
Xiang Ling, who became Xue Pan's concubine, also had a good life for several years. The Xue family was barely a thick family, and Xiangling became a servant by Aunt Xue's side, thus entering the Jia Mansion. Xiangling learns poetry, which is also the last color of her black and white life.
Xiangling used her life to interpret the tragedy, was abducted at an early age, and raised until she was about ten years old, so that she could see whether she would fall into the country in the future. If you look good, you have to keep reselling until you reach the highest price.
As for the way out that a beautiful girl can have, it is only a way out for serving men. How can such a strange girl, who has no money, be contaminated, but how can a high-gate household respect it?
The best result is to have a good master, and later marry a servant, and also be considered a righteous woman. However, such results are rare, most of which are sold to rich people as concubines, or directly to Qinglou. In short, after more than ten years of raising, it must be sold at the highest price. But no one cared, their ending.
In ancient times, selling children and selling women was actually a common thing, selling to large families as slaves and wives, and also fighting for a good future. For example, to attack people is to sell themselves into Jia Province, but the raiders have already remembered things and know where they came from.
And Xiang Ling had already lost his origins, and even regarded the evil man who abducted him as his father and recognized the thief as his father.
Zhen Yinglian, who enjoyed wealth at the age of four, became a fragrant ling, and what was inevitable was a beating. It is precisely because of this that Zhen Yinglian became Xiangling and never mentioned the past again. Because of her past, it was a beating.
(2) As an adult, he was persecuted by Xia Jingui
I thought that when I met Xue Pan, I could also be considered stable. However, Xue Pan was greedy and lustful, and the beautiful Xiangling could not keep Xue Pan's footsteps at all. If it is forgotten by Xue Pan, it can also be regarded as a good ending. However, Xue Pan was newly married, and the bride Xia Jingui was not a good match.
Ming Ming Xiangling had already stayed away and lived himself in obscurity. However, the jealous Xia Jingui still found Xiangling, and even feared that Xiangling would seize favor, instigating Xue Pan to beat Xiangling badly, thinking that he had killed a hundred. In the end, Aunt Xue had to sell Xiangling for the sake of family stability, hoping that Xia Jingui would not make any more trouble, or leave Xiangling a life.
However, Xiang Ling, who had been abducted and sold all her life, had to kneel and beg Aunt Xue not to sell her, preferring to follow Xue Baochao all her life.
Maybe even the heavens couldn't see Xia Jingui so badly ruining Xiangling, Xia Jingui was poisoned and poisoned by himself to find a way to die.
Xue Pan's conscience found that he had straightened out Xiangling, Xiangling was pregnant, and finally saw Xiangling of the heavenly light, and finally died in the delivery bed with all the blessings for his daughter, and failed to walk through the door of the ghost.
(3) Zhen Yinglian, name also, fate also
Life is full of twists and turns, and every turning point may be a new birth. However, the turning point that belongs to Zhen Yinglian, every time, without exception, is a dead end.
At the first turning point, Zhen Yinglian became Xiangling. At the second turning point, XiangLing met a good person and was able to entrust the lifelong Lang Jun Feng Yuan. The third turning point, once again, he became the concubine of the bully Xue Pan. At the fourth turning point, the main mother Xia Jingui arrived, bringing with it the scourge of whipping and torture. At the fifth turning point, she finally became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, but died in the delivery bed.
Maybe not knowing where you are coming from is the greatest mercy that Heaven has given to Xiangling, and only if you don't know the way forward, you won't suffer from your current life.
The seventh time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", someone praised Xiangling for being like Rong's grandmother Qin Keqing, if she had not been abducted, Xiangling's life, how beautiful would she be?
But after reviewing Xiang Ling's life, who doesn't hear the tears?
Zhen Yinglian, name also, fate also, really deserve pity!
