In the previous article, we made a more reasonable conjecture about the characters in the sub-book of the Twelve Books of Jinling, and today we continue to make a more reasonable conjecture about the characters of the sub-albums.
We all know that according to the hint of the comments of The Fat Yan Zhai, the Jinling Twelve Plates in the Bo Ming Division, according to the degree of importance, were divided into different books, in addition to the ladies selected in the main book and the supplementary book, there were also many ladies in the second book and even the three pairs and four pairs.
In the eighteenth time of the original text, when Miao Yu appeared, the critic who signed the deformity of Wat Shuo summed up such a paragraph of criticism to the Twelve Emperors of Jinling: To the end of the love list, Fang Zhizheng, Vice, Zai Vice, and the Third and Fourth Fangs.
If the critics have indeed read the complete book of the Dream of the Red Chamber, then the list of the Twelve Nobles of Jinling in the Bo Ming Division has at least five books, and each volume has 12 people, for a total of 60 people. Some red scholars believe that the list of the Twelve Nobles of Jinling has a total of 108 people, that is, nine books.
In any case, at least we can be sure that the three books of the main book, the supplementary volume and the secondary volume must exist. Because Cao Gong had clearly written it, and the supplementary book had already given two representative figures- Qingwen and Raider.
According to this standard, we can also infer that those who can be selected for the sub-book are all very decent and have a lot of drama, and in the first eighty times, the big guys who have more drama are basically possible.
In addition to Qingwen attacking people, there are still ten people left, who will these ten people be? First of all, there are three people who must be listed, one is the chief mandarin duck by Jia Mu's side, one is Wang Xifeng's right-hand man Ping'er, and the other is Daiyu's confidant sister Zi Juan.
The three of them, plus the raiders, are what we usually call the four great ladies of the Dream of the Red Chamber, referred to as the Ping raid purple duck, who serve around Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Jia Mu respectively, all of whom are extremely decent and capable servants.
With the addition of Qingwen, it occupies five positions, and there are still seven people left, and these seven people are not very well distributed.
Some people said that among these seven people, there must be one big man around Yuan Ying, who is the four young ladies of Jia Province, and the chief lady around them is of course also eligible to be selected for the list of sub-books.
Theoretically, this is the case, but the reality is that in the first eighty times, Yuan Ying's visit to the big mane next to the four people, in addition to the Siqi around Yingchun, the other three people have very little role, like YuanChun's side of the piano, there is no line, and the waiter and the painting are only opened once in the copy inspection of the Grand View Garden.
Moreover, according to the original plot to calculate, Yuan Chun died shortly after eighty times, then there will not be too much ink behind the piano, if you explore the spring far away, the waiter will most likely marry, naturally there will not be too much ink, and Xi Chun has already been sent into the painting before leaving home.
In view of this, we believe that among the four spring maidens, only Siqi can be selected for the second book. Of course, the other three are not unable to be selected, but with Cao Gong's arrangement for them, it is unlikely that they will be selected for the second book, and the possibility of entering the third pair is relatively large.
Why was Siqi selected? Because there is her main text in the first eighty times, after eighty times, it should also explain its ending, which is a relatively complete role, and her actions are also eligible for selection. The other three beards have no body text.
There are still six places left, and the approvers who signed the name of Qiao Wat Have also said that in addition to the three people of Qingwen attacking Xiangling, others may also have "Jin Jun, Yu Jun, Mandarin Duck, Xi Xue, Ping'er and others." ”
Mandarin Duck and Ping Er have been selected, so are jin Jun'er, Yu Jun'er, and Xi Xue qualified for the selection? Jin Jun'er and Yu Jun'er are sisters, and they are also the big girls around Madame Wang, and there are many scenes in the first eighty times, and they are all related to Baoyu, so there is no problem in their selection.
Here to insert a sentence, everyone will also find that in addition to the necessary conditions that we said earlier about the urgent person and not the mediocre, to be selected into the twelve books, in fact, there is an invisible prerequisite, they must be registered with the jade brother, that is, they are related to Jia Baoyu.
Although Xi Xue did not have many scenes in the first eighty times, but Li Yanzhai's criticism was explained more than once, and after eighty times, the Prison Temple once had her main text, and she was originally one of the big men who served beside Bao Yu, so naturally she could be selected.
Well, there are three places left. These three places are more difficult to allocate, because there are far more than three people who meet the conditions, or have similar status and equal status, such as Musk Moon, Caiyun, Caixia, Warbler, Cui Wisp, Amber and so on, are all possible.
Let me talk about my understanding, Musk Yue may occupy a quota, because she is the big mane next to Baoyu, not only has a lot of drama in the first eighty times, but also accompanies Baoyu to the last mane, she is always there, there is no reason not to be selected and sub-book.
Ying'er will take up a quota, she is the big mane around Baochao, the soul is skillful, not to say, but also the promoter of the golden jade good relationship, after Wen Baoyu and Baochao become relatives, she will naturally follow the dowry, whether she will become a housemaid, we can't say, but with her qualifications, she should be selected and sub-booked, there should be no problem.
There is still one last place left, it is more difficult to say, Caiyun Caixia is also a lady wang's side, on the qualifications, who is selected is no problem, and then like Shi Xiangyun's mane Cui, Jia Mu's mane amber, Li Feng's mane Suyun, are also eligible to be selected. This quota is left for everyone to discuss.
As we said earlier, in addition to the second book, there are three or four pairs, and even if one of them is not selected for the second book, it will definitely be selected into the later book. In short, as long as there are some identities and dramas in the dream of the Red Chamber, they will basically be selected for the twelve lists.
