Which of the four masterpieces represents the pinnacle of classical fiction? If I had to say, it must be the Dream of the Red Chamber.
The Grand View Garden in the novel is like the Garden of Eden for girls, there is no worldly squalor, no men's harassment, only a woman's friend Baoyu lives here with this group of sisters and sisters.
In the first eighty times, although the entire Jia family has already declined, it is still a happy and harmonious, and it has not yet reached the "white expanse and the snow is really clean".
At that time, Jia Baoyu was still everyone's favorite little prince, and there were also many beautiful and capable maids in his Yihong Courtyard, gentle and generous attackers, spicy and capable Qingwen, and musk yue who could speak eloquently, and each maid had her own very distinct personality characteristics.
However, in this group of beautiful girls, Bi Chen does not seem to have any sense of existence, and the only impression we may have of her is that Qingwen helped Bao Yu take a bath and wash for two or three hours in her mouth, so what did they do during this time?
Delicate little girl
In ancient novels and dramas, the image of women is always very thin, basically for love, for a down-and-out student willing to take his own beautiful future.
However, in the dream of the Red Chamber, the image of women is much more plump, and women are no longer only in love, and even the author also used the role of Jia Mu in the book to spit out this boring novel of talent and beauty: "Only once I saw a handsome man, whether it was a relative or a friend, I remembered the lifelong event? ”
In the Grand View Garden, there is not only the beautiful love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, but also the tanchun with a mind and ideas, and Shi Xiangyun in the drunken peony flower.
There are not only well-bred ladies, but also social animals and squirrels who work.
Some of these girls are children of the family, such as Xiaohong; some are because the family is not good at selling themselves, such as attacking people, but these girls are living vigorously.
Just where there are people, there must be disputes and nagging, where there are many women, contradictions and frictions will also increase, and many times these ladies are jealous and jealous and various contradictions are essentially to give themselves a better living environment.
In the book, it is very clearly written that the raider had a relationship with Jia Baoyu, and because of this, he was also valued by Lady Wang, thinking that after Jia Baoyu was older, he could let her be Baoyu's aunt.
Although she is not the wife of the main room, it is better than marrying an ordinary family, and Mrs. Wang has also improved the monthly money treatment of the attacker.
Everyone lives together, this kind of thing is difficult to hide from others, it is difficult for other servants to see that the attackers have gained a better life for this reason, it is difficult to say that they will not be moved, so when Xiaohong takes advantage of the fact that no one is there to bring tea to Jia Baoyu, the other servants will have such a description:
Only to see Qiu Wen and Bi Zhen giggling and laughing and coming in, the two people carried a bucket of water together, with one hand on their clothes, toeing and spilling... Suddenly, I saw a person come out to pick up the water, and when the two people looked, it was not someone else, it turned out to be Xiaohong. Both of them were surprised, put down the water, and rushed into the room, looking east and west, there was no one else, only Baoyu, and they were not very comfortable. - Twenty-fourth time
Xiao Hong can still be very smart, from the back of Wang Xifeng let Xiao Hong bring words, Xiao Hong several parties and a dozen people said things very clearly can be seen, if she is favored by Second Master Bao, as a big girl, the current big girl may have a career crisis.
In ancient times, large families often put a few roommates in the male heir's room, and Xiao Weixing'er once said: The rules of our family, all the grandfathers are old, before they marry their relatives, they all put two people to serve, and the second master originally had two! With such a situation, the servants would have even more thoughts of relying on Jia Baoyu to ascend to heaven one step at a time. But is this easy to do?
Time to take a shower
Looking at this Yihong Courtyard, Qingwen is definitely the most temperamental, the most violent temper, but the most capable of the yakuza, she was seriously ill to make up for the Golden Sparrow Qiu, knowing that the little girl stole Ping'er's bracelet, she directly pulled out the slender hairpin to tie the hand of the little girl. But if it is said that the big guy is the cleanest and innocentest in the whole Yihong Courtyard, it must also be Qingwen.
Once Qingwen accidentally broke Jia Baoyu's fan, the two people got into a bad fight, and the unhappy Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan did not get angry after drinking and playing, and came back to coax Qingwen. He also laughed and let Qingwen wait for him to take a bath.
Although Qingwen was unwilling, but because of the relationship between Ya Gui, she did not dare to directly refute Jia Baoyu's request, so she half jokingly and half seriously said to Jia Baoyu, "Stop, stop, I don't dare to mess with Grandpa." I still remember that Bi Chen sent you to take a bath for two or three hours, and I didn't know what to do. We're not good to get in. Later, after washing, I went in to see that the water in the ground was flooding the legs of the bed, and even the mat was covered with water, and I didn't know how to wash it. ”
The amount of information in this sentence is huge, and it is natural for the servant to wait for the master to take a bath, but this bath time seems to be a little too long, in ancient times, an hour was two hours, and two or three hours of washing was four to six hours.
Ordinary people will certainly not wash for such a long time in the bath, so what the two of them did during this time has become a small mystery in the dream of the Red Chamber.
Bi Chen, as a man who is not so outstanding in appearance and does not have the ability of female red on the body, is not the most loved by Jia Baoyu among this kind of beautiful woman, so in order to seek a good future for herself, Bi Chen's dedication is also explained.
In ancient times, these servants would basically be rationed to the small house of the same house when they were old, and few of them could marry well, if they married the small house, they might still have children at home, or they would have to serve the masters of this family, but it was not necessary to be an aunt, if they gave birth to a man and a half woman, they might be able to turn over in the second half of their lives.
But then again, if Bi Chen had done such a thing, if it had reached the ears of Lady Wang's mother, it might not have been as simple as driving her out.
A big reason why the raiders have done such things and are still staying safe is that they have already received The approval of Madame Wang. However, as a person who has not been recognized by the leadership, if Bi Chen hastily has a relationship with Jia Baoyu, he may be directly beaten to death by Lady Wang, who loves his son.
There is no impermeable wall in this world, many times what is done can be known by others as soon as they inquire, but Bi Chen avoided the situation that Madame Wang was driven out of the later period when she raided the Grand View Garden, and poor Qingwen, although innocent, was ruthlessly driven out, and finally died of illness at home.
Whether or not Bi Chen had a relationship with Jia Baoyu during the bath, this was just a woman's little hope for her fate in feudal society.
summary
After eighty times, the name Bi Chen slowly disappeared from people's vision, and some people said that Madame Wang was driven out with Bi Chen when she raided the Grand View Garden, but because there was no fierce resistance, it was not known.
However, all this disappeared with the fall of Jia Fu, and those flower-like young ladies and girls were also hit in the mud by society and reality.
