A dream of the Red Chamber, grass snake gray line, thousands of miles, many seemingly inconspicuous small characters, in Cao Gong's pen, are not written casually, those seemingly dispensable small roles, in the later are of great use, which is also the most attractive place of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
We may wish to give a few examples, such as the little Shami of the Gourd Temple who appeared earlier, and later filled the door with his hair, and the gourd monk's chaotic judgment of the gourd case once appeared positively.
This door does not even have an official name, only appears once in the first eighty times, and then disappears without a trace, but according to the comments of Li Yanzhai, this door will appear later.
Menzi was well versed in the rules of the official field, and if he had not interrupted Jia Yu Village in time to issue a signature, perhaps Jia Yu Village, the seat of Yin of Shuntian Province, would not have been taken away before it was hot.
Menzi knew many things about Jia Yu Village's former poverty, the ins and outs of Zhen Shiyin's daughter Yinglian after she disappeared, and the close relationship between the four major families of Jinling on the talisman, although his status was humble, it should not be underestimated.
Jia Yucun was worried that he would tell him about his past, so although Menzi had made a great contribution to the Yinglian case, for his own future, Jia Yucun also had to charge him far away.
We don't know where this door went, we just know that there is no trace of it. But Li Yanzhai said that he had finished the gourd temple text and laid down a thousand mile line. Li Yanzhai, who knew the story eighty times later, seemed to be spoilers saying that the story of this door was not over.
Zhen Shiyin's interpretation of the good song also said: Coax you fang to sing and I appear. And the ending of Jia Yu Village, Li Yanzhai has long had a comment prompt, which is "because of the small hat of the yarn, resulting in the shackles." In other words, Jia Yucun eventually became a prisoner of the order.
Based on the above plot, we can infer that the door that was charged by Jia Yu Village did not disappear, but by virtue of his proficiency in the rules of the official field, when he arrived at Jia Yu Village, he just climbed up, and even became an official escorting Jia Yu Village.
Let's talk about jia baoyu's first squire who was taken away- Xi Xue. Before Xi Xue was thrown out, there was not much ink, the only few times, once was sent by Baoyu to see Baochao, once was to serve tea to Baoyu, she was also implicated in the Maple Dew Tea incident, only to go out.
But this matter is full of doubts, the Maple Dew Tea Incident is caused by Baoyu's nursing mother Li Mama, Xi Xue just gave the tea to Baoyu, but Baoyu sprinkled qi on her. But after this incident passed, Xi Xue went out. According to Aunt Li, Xi Xue was taken away because of the Maple Dew Tea incident.
Reading this plot carefully, we found that what Grandma Li said was not exactly the truth, and the truth may be like this: Grandma Li has relied on the old and sold the old many times, Baoyu has long held her stomach, and the Maple Dew Tea incident is just a fuse, which detonated Baoyu's dissatisfaction with Grandma Li.
And because Baoyu drank wine at Aunt Xue's house, when Xi Xue said that the maple dew tea was drunk by Grandma Li, Baoyu finally broke out. The innocent Xi Xue thus became Baoyu's punching bag, and Baoyu pointed at his nose and sent out an evil breath, saying that he wanted to throw Aunt Li out.
But Aunt Li is after all Baoyu's nursing mother, her going to keep Baoyu is not the lord, if you really want to pick it up, you have to inform Jia Mu and Lady Wang of this matter, but in this case, the original small matter will be big, and the attackers will cover up this matter in order to calm the people. But if Bao Yu asked about this, he still had to have an explanation, so Xi Xue became a scapegoat and had to be released.
Regardless of the reason, Xi Xue finally left Baoyu and left Jia Province. After that, in the first eighty times, Xi Xue himself did not appear in Jia Province again, but the Mandarin Duck resisted marriage once, and when talking about her circle of friends, Xi Xue was actually listed, which shows that when Xi Xue was around Baoyu, she should be a big man with good personal ability.
Li Yanzhai also revealed more than once that Xi Xue went to the Prison Temple to present the main text. There is no mention of the Prison Temple in the first eighty times, so it can be seen that Xi Xue will appear again when Baoyu is trapped in the Prison Temple after eighty times, and that is when she is the main text.
A seemingly inconspicuous little person left Jia Fu in the eighth time and disappeared into the reader's field of vision, but she did not expect that after eighty times, she would still appear, and together with Xiaohong, she went to the prison temple to visit and comfort Baoyu who was in distress. This kind of chivalrous act that does not care about the past is touching.
Since it is said that the prison temple is the main text of Xi Xue, then we can imagine that this time, Cao Gong should mention Xi Xue's life after leaving Jia Province, and how to visit Baoyu after learning of Baoyu's death, how to comfort Baoyu and so on. Whether it is for Baoyu or for the reader, this is probably something we did not expect.
This is also the most impressive place of the Dream of the Red Chamber, whether it is miss Gongzi who is high above, or a boy who is as humble as an ant, under Cao Gong's pen, they are all treated equally, they will not appear for no reason, and they will not disappear out of thin air, they all have their own complete story.
Those small people who look inconspicuous or even flash by may intersect with our lives one day after many years, and will have a great impact on our lives. In fact, why is this not real life and life destiny?
