In a sense, the text of the Dream of the Red Chamber is divided into two parts: one part of the narrative drives the storyline, which is more straightforward. The other part is enigma. Because almost all the characters of the Dream of the Red Chamber are historical figures or real derivative figures, their endings do not need to think about the existence, the author needs to do is to assemble and set the puzzle, and the mapping of the character ending and the characters in the book as far as possible to diverge, if too similar to history, there is no meaning of the puzzle, these riddles are hidden in the massive character dialogue, becoming the source and basis of red thinking.
For example, Lin Daiyu fell ill and died = Zhu Youjian hanged
Wang Xifeng died of illness = Wei Zhongxian was hanged, and almost none of the Twelve Nobles of Jinling could die well, if he died of illness, it was a blessing, how to enter the Bo Life Division?
This is a unique contribution of the Dream of the Red Chamber to the literature of later generations!
But Qing Tuo dream is not a so-called political vision, just a death "riddle"
When Qin Keqing was dying, Feng Jie Fang Juexing's eyes were slightly hazy, and she only saw Qin Shi coming from outside, and said with a smile: "Concubine is good to sleep!" I'm going back today, and you won't give me a ride. Sister Feng listened and asked in a trance, "What is your wish?" You just have to entrust me. ”
Qin Shi said, "Auntie, you are a hero in the fat powder team, often saying 'when the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows', and the Tao is 'if you ascend high, you will fall heavily'. Now that our family has been in full swing for a hundred years (Bai Zai), is it not worthy of the old clan of poetry and books (corpses lose the nine clans)! When Sister Feng heard this, her heart was very happy, and she was very awe-inspired, and asked busily: "This is extremely worrying, but what method can be kept safe forever?" Qin Clan sneered, "No, the glory and disgrace have been repeated since ancient times, how can people be able to maintain normalcy?" However, now that we can plan the future decline of the world in the glory period, it can also be said that it is always guaranteed Yongquan (Yongquan).
Sister Feng then asked what was going on. Qin Clan said, "Mo Ruo, according to my opinion, taking advantage of today's wealth, will buy more acres of farmland and houses near Zu Mo, in preparation for the cost of sacrifice and supply, and set up the family school here." Among the elders and children of the contract family, everyone set a rule that in the future, they will be in charge of the land, money, food, sacrifices, and supplies for this year according to the house. Such a circumference, there is no competition, and there is no pawn selling and other disadvantages. That is, with sin, everything can enter the government, and this sacrificial property does not even enter the official. Then it fell, the children and grandchildren went home to study and farm, there was also a regression, and now (under the tomb) is just a momentary prosperity, a momentary joy, and must not forget the saying that 'the feast will be dispersed'. At this time, if you don't worry about it early, you will only regret it in the near future. ”
First: Why didn't Qin Keqing tell Lady Jia Muwang that it wouldn't be more direct? Partial to Wang Xifeng's dream? In this case, Wang Xifeng, who is not the master of this kind of big thing of buying a house and buying land, mainly takes care of the "food" relationship between Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing who is close to ordinary people. Second: Buying a cemetery cannot play a role in turning the tide at all, and no matter how many graves there are in the family, it cannot stop the destruction of the country and the death of the family. Catching up with the special era, the fate of more "landlords" in the land may also be more tragic by "communism", so Qin Keqing solemnly has to say that this is definitely a "false proposition", just a riddle that Wei Zhongxian will die, nothing more!
Historically, Wei Zhongxian (Wang Xifeng) died earlier than Keshi (Qin Keqing), although Keshi was deeply sinful, after all, he was the grandmother of the former emperor, beating the dog to see the master, the Chongzhen Emperor ordered the death of Keshi's decision was also more difficult, the author used Wang Xifeng to bury Qin Keqing, or cousin their relationship with ordinary people, Qin Keqing's dream, is also the close relationship between the two, Wang Xifeng's death is near the historical fact.
Qin Keqing (Keshi) last words Keywords: (1) cemetery. (2) Residence in a house next to the cemetery. (3) The feast will fall, fall, and regress!
Before his death, Wei Zhongxian was driven by the Chongzhen Emperor to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb, and he fell into a "retreat". Tell Wang Xifeng that he has been a hundred years (Bai Zai), is not worthy of the old clan of the poetry book of the first century (corpse lost to the nine tribes), the fire cooking oil, just the prosperity of the present (under the tomb), bought land, can also be said to be Chang Bao Yongquan (Yongquan) --- Forever Yellow Spring, behind the "big plan" are the sad sounds of death.
Jia Huan visits Qiao sister - Wang Xifeng hangs the password
Sister Qiao was sick, and Sister Feng was anxious, only to see Madame Wang's little girl holding a little red paper bag and saying, "Second grandmother, niuhuang has it, and the second grandmother personally divided the two points into dispensing." Sister Feng agreed to take it, so she asked Ping'er to match the pearls, ice chips, and cinnabar, and she used the whip to weigh it according to the square, and boiled the medicine inside.
Only to see Jia Huan lift the curtain and come in and say, "Second sister, what happened to your sister Qiao?" Mom told me to come and see him. Sister Feng saw his mother and son and said, "It's better." You go back and say, tell your aunt to think. Na jia promised in the ring mouth, just look around: "You heard here that there is cow yolk, I don't know what the cow yolk looks like, let me see it." Sister Feng said, "Don't make trouble here, you're better." The beef yolk was fried. Jia Huan listened, so when he reached for the hammer and looked at it, he didn't know that he was caught off guard, and with a boiling sound, the hammer fell, and the fire was half extinguished. Jia Huan saw that it was not a thing, felt that he was not interested, and ran away. Sister Feng's anxious Spark exploded and scolded, "True true to the enemy of that life!" Why do you come back to make the promotion narrow! In the past, your mother wanted to harm me, and now she has come to harm you. I have a lifelong vendetta against you!" One side scolded Ping'er for not taking care of it. He was scolding, only to see the servant come to jia huan. Sister Feng said, "You go and tell Aunt Zhao that he is too worried and too bitter." Sister Qiao is dead, don't worry about him! The girl was confused, and Ping'er said that Brother Huan had brought down the medicine hammer. The servant said, "No wonder he didn't dare to come back, I will go back and tell Aunt Zhao as soon as I want to, so that he won't have to talk every day." ”
Aunt Zhao scolded Jia Huan, "You are the seed of this!" Why spill people's medicine and invite people to curse. I told you to ask, you don't have to go in, you go in, you don't go, and you have to catch lice on the tiger's head. You see I'm back to the old man, hit you don't fight! ”
Only to hear Jia Huan speak in the outer room: "I just poured out the medicine and spilled a little medicine, the girl did not die, he also scolded me, you also scolded me to death." Waiting for me to ming'er still want the life of that little girl. Aunt Zhao hurried out of the room, grabbed his mouth, and said, "You still just talk nonsense, and ask people to take my life first!" ”
This paragraph enters the retrospective: Detective Wind Jia Huan re-knotted. Very ordinary story, but full of thrilling code words: the key word (1) medicine hammer = to hang (2) to die.
This passage tells the reader the historical fact that Wang Xifeng (Wei Zhongxian) hanged himself and was "hanged", and finally took Qingqing's life. And in QiaoJie's prescription, she further told the reader: True Pearl = King Zhu. Cinnabar = Zhu Wang kills. Wei Zhongxian was killed by Zhu You, the King of Zhu.
The mystery of the story, how many mysteries are hidden in the story, under careful reading, it is particularly fascinating and has a long aftertaste!
