The first time Virtual Bamboo and Menggu met was in an underground ice cellar that could not see five fingers, and it was precisely because of this scene that virtual bamboo finally broke the ring, and under several competitions with Tianshan Tongyao, Virtual Bamboo still lost the last bet.
The monks should have cut off the seven passions and six desires, and quit greed and hatred, but when the virtual bamboo faced the beautiful dream girl in front of them, the teenager also had a hazy emotion. Just as the so-called "love does not know what to do, a deep love", he and Menggu get along in such an environment, and finally this place has become the starting point for the virtual bamboo to begin to dabble in the world.
In the newly revised version of the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", after Menggu got what she wanted to marry Xuanzhu, she not only impatiently gave the maid next to her to Duan Yu, but even dismissed the four personal maids beside Xuanzhu, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. In short, Menggu managed to take everyone except the two of them away, and the meaning was evident.
In addition, we should also think about the problem based on the knowledge system of the novel "Tianlong Babu", which means that while thinking about and analyzing this problem, we must take another step towards the deeper level.
(1) Recall menggu Zhangbang's recruitment of a son-in-law, speculating about her character psychology
Is it really as most Jin Yong fans speculate: Menggu gave the maid to Duan Yu just to prevent her from disturbing her and Xuanzhu's life, or did she want to use this maid to promote the political alliance between dali and the Western Xia kingdom?
Based on the question itself, Mr. Jin Yong did not give a direct answer. So under this premise, all kinds of readers can speculate one after another, as long as they can withstand scrutiny, then I think this is nothing more than the answer. Restored to the scene where Menggu was going to give the maid "Xiaolei" next to her to Duan Yu, we should be able to smell some taste from Menggu's words.
"Third brother, you don't have a suitable person around you to serve you... Since I was a child, I have been able to play chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can also do a little martial arts... I've always treated her like my own sister, and I'll let her follow you later. ”
From the perspective of others, including Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu, they may regard Menggu's move as a good intention. Because at that time, the purpose of accompanying Duan Yu to the Western Xia Kingdom was not to promote his marriage with Menggu, but to help Duan Yu and Menggu to promote the marriage, so as to promote the political alliance between dali and the Western Xia Kingdom.
But the final result was also seen by everyone, and when they heard that this Western Xia princess was recruiting a concubine, there were many heroes and good men in the jianghu who came to apply. Among them was Murong Fu of the Murong family, as well as various other heroes, and of course, Xuan Zhu and Duan Yu, who were entrusted by Duan Yu's father Duan Zhengchun before his departure, and the direct purpose was to let Duan Yu win the Princess of Western Xia.
But this Western Xia princess Bingxue is smart, not to mention that the purpose of this list of concubines is to find the dream person - Menglang. So he asked three questions, after a question and answer, the virtual bamboo finally "stood out", Duan Yu was helpless, but Duan Yuxin was in Wang Yuyan, plus the virtual bamboo was the second brother of his own worshipper, which was naturally the heart of adult beauty.
The reason why Menggu wanted to give the maid to Duan Yu, onlookers believed that Menggu's move was to return Duan Yu's affection for Xuanzhu, after all, Duan Yu failed to complete the mission entrusted by his father and even Dali Guo. At the same time, Menggu's move can also promote the political alliance between Western Xia and Dali in disguise, after all, the person who gave Duan Yu was not someone else, but a handmaiden who had followed him since childhood, which meant a lot.
(2) Menggu's "gift to others" is actually the weak rib of the middle section
Isn't Wang Yuyan alone in Duan Yu's heart? Why is this statement?
Readers familiar with the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" may all know the fact that Duan Yu has always been obsessed with not Wang Yuyan himself, but the statue of the immortal sister seen in the cave, and the statue is Li Qiushui, because Li Qiushui is Wang Yuyan's grandmother, so in appearance, the two are extremely similar;
In addition, Wang Yuyan's inner rejoicing person was not Duan Yu, but was only snubbed by Murong Fu and waited for the opportunity to stay by Duan Yu's side.
At that time, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu went to the Western Xia Kingdom, because Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan met for the first time, and they may not know Wang Yuyan's personality. However, as Wang Yuyan's cousin, Menggu knew something about Wang Yuyan, and Menggu saw that Duan Yu cared a lot about Wang Yuyan, but Menggu also understood in her heart that the only person who was happy in Wang Yuyan's life might be Murong Fu!
Therefore, under the premise of not choosing to tell Duan Yu the truth, on the basis of wanting to return Duan Yu's affection for Xuan Zhu and herself, she finally chose to give her personal maid to Duan Yu, and especially emphasized the point of "gentleness and wisdom, loyalty and reliability".
Gentle and virtuous Zhong Ling did not have it, loyal and reliable Wang Yuyan did not have it, and the two key characteristics of this woman were placed on the two women closest to Duan Yu's side, and it seemed that none of them had both.
In summary, Menggu gave Duan Yu the extremely perfect person she described in her mouth. On the other hand, Duan Yu really didn't want to get this personal maid who was given by others? That's not it, the original work clearly wrote that Duan Yu thanked Menggu for his false bamboo at that time:
"Thank you so much second brother and sister-in-law, but I don't know if this Xiaolei girl is willing to leave you?"
The connotation of Duan Yu's words was already about to come out, after all, Duan Yu did not directly refuse at that time, so it can be seen that he was still particularly eager to get this maid. Duan Yu was not stupid, on the one hand, he still had to take care of the political relations between the Dali Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom, on the other hand, what Menggu Fangcai said had already been duan Yu's weakness. In short, in public and private, accepting Xiaolei is a good choice to accept.
(3) The two-person world for the rest of his life cannot be allowed to be involved
Thinking from the most human point of view, we must think of this. Because I already mentioned at the beginning, Menggu not only gave her own handmaiden Xiaolei to Duan Yu, but even later gave the four handmaidens of the virtual bamboo to Duan Yu, and gave her own personal maid to Duan Yu, which is completely in line with the above two points; then is it obvious that she gave the four maids of the virtual bamboo to Duan Yu?
Yes, if I were to speculate, I would have thought of this: Menggu's series of moves were entirely intended to leave more room for herself and the rest of her life.
Meilan Zhuju's four personal maids, together with their own personal maid Xiaolei, if the five of them continue to accompany Menggu Xuanzhu, although it will not affect the feelings of the two, after all, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, but their existence will indeed make Menggu see upset.
What we need to know is that the reason why Xuanzhu and Menggu can make love at a glance, fundamentally speaking, there is only one factor that cannot be separated, that is, the environment in which the two people meet - in the ice cellar where they can't see their five fingers.
It is precisely because of this solitude that Menggu and Xuanzhu, both sides are deeply in love with each other, and can even be used to love each other for life.
When Menggu made a decision, the reason why Xuanzhu did not object was that he and Menggu wanted to go somewhere. In the hearts of the two people, in fact, they especially yearn for the scene of meeting in the ice cave, and this so-called ice cave can be fully understood as the "world of two people". The topic ends here, and the series of actions before and after Menggu are most likely to leave time for herself and Xuanzhu to be alone.
