A careful reading of the Red Chamber will find that cao gong, who has almost no heavy pen, has written two yun'er, one is Shi Xiangyun, everyone usually calls her Yun'er, and the other is a prostitute in Jinxiangyuan, also called Yun'er.
These two Yun'er, one is a young lady of the four major families, and the other is a lowly prostitute in the Chu Pavilion of the Qin Lou, cao gong let them have the same name, is there any deep meaning?
We might as well analyze Yun'er in Jinxiangyuan first, who only appeared once at Feng Ziying's family banquet. Although she was a lowly person, she had a very close relationship with the noble children of Baoyu Xue Pan Feng Ziying, and seemed to be a regular guest at their banquet.
After Xue Pan's three glasses of wine, he took Yun'er's hand and let her sing a song. So Yun Er picked up the pipa and sang a song "Two Wrongdoers", which shows that this Yun Er and Xue Pan are also very familiar. At this point, Li Pi said, this singing song is a straight thorn in the jade.
Looking closely at this song, we can also easily come to the answer, Yun'er's song is obviously an allusion to the relationship between Bao Daichao and bao, but how does she, a qinglou woman, know the things of the rich prince Jia Baoyu?
After all, one of the two lives in Fireworks Willow Lane and the other lives in a deep house, how does this Yun Er know many of the deeds of Yi Hong's son?
It wasn't until everyone behind them played with their daughter's sad and joyful wine order, when Jiang Yuhan said the bottom of the wine, "Flowers attack people know the warmth of the day", we didn't know that this Yun Er and Bao Yu had known each other for a long time.
Xue Pan listened to Jiang Yuhan's liquor order and said that it should be punished, feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan did not know why, the original text said, Yun Er told it.
This is very interesting, that is to say, the big man around Baoyu attacked people, Feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan, these two friends do not know, but not as good as Yun'er, the prostitute of Jinxiang Courtyard, knows the roots.
There is a comment that Li Yanzhai has said: Yun Er knows the details of Yihong, but she can think of the style of the jade brother. That is to say, at Feng Ziying's family banquet, Jia Baoyu and Yun'er did not meet for the first time, they had known each other for a long time, and even Baoyu had been to Jinxiangyuan more than once.
It is normal for a clumsy disciple to get acquainted with the head of a brothel, either in the Chu Pavilion of the Qin Lou or at a friend's banquet, but it is a little unusual to know that she even knows the servants serving next to you.
You know, As a man, Baoyu can often go in and out of Jia Province and in and out of the land of fireworks, but it is impossible for a man who is sold to Jia Province to go out privately, how does Yun Er know her existence?
There was only one reason, that is, Jia Baoyu had said more than once about these beards around him, and even the big and small things that had happened in The Yihong Courtyard, and even specifically told Yun Er, so she knew baoyu's affairs very well.
According to the way the Red Chamber Dream pen is not empty, this Yun'er will certainly not appear out of thin air, or just the needs of the plot, since she is familiar with Baoyu, and she is called Yun'er, there will naturally be pen and ink mentioned later.
Let's analyze Shi Xiangyun again. Shi Xiangyun is Miss Qianjin in the four major families, and her identity seems impossible to associate with a Qinglou woman, but the tragic ending of the Dream of the Red Chamber, "Qianhong cries, Wan Yan is sad", and people can't help but make people associate.
Shi Xiangyun's sentence and lyrics are written very clearly, she has both parents died from birth, her husband died not long after marriage, a short life, only a moment of entertainment, more is the bitter experience of the listener sad and the hearer shed tears.
In the future, the four major families will fall, or even be plundered, and there will be no eggs under the nest, what kind of life changes will poor Xiangyun experience? Was he sold to an official's house as a slave, or was he sold to the Qinglou as a prostitute? These outcomes are possible.
And if we combine the foreshadowing of the Yun'er line of Jinxiangyuan, the end of Xiangyun is very likely to fall into the wind and dust. At that time, how should Xiangyun face the miserable storms of this life?
Since childhood, there was no parental love, in the uncle's parents Xiangyun, I don't know how much work has been done, how much secret cold eyes, daguanyuan is her short-lived paradise and paradise, after marriage there have been a moment of marital love, but in the end it is a void.
What awaits Xiangyun is always the ruthless destruction of fate, a thousand kinds of sowing. Fatherless and motherless, sent to the fence, her husband died early, young and widowed, fell into the wind and dust, what suffering is there that she has not experienced?
Although there is no real ending in the Red Chamber, from the writing method of Cao Gongcao Snake Gray Line, many endings have already been written in front of it, that Yun'er of Jinxiangyuan, or the true ending of Shi Xiangyun?
If not, why did that prostitute Yun Er and Bao Yu know each other so well, and even the attackers knew? When she was a child, she was also a person who served Xiangyun, and her relationship with Xiangyun was also excellent, Xiangyun had also given her a ring, and when she was young, she also had a confidant.
The two Yun'er were familiar with Bao Yu, and they both knew and even understood the attackers, and the relationship between these two people could be imagined. Or, we can also make a bold inference, just like the ending given by the 87th edition of the Dream of the Red Chamber, will the Baoyu that comes out of the Prison Temple in the future encounter the Xiangyun who has fallen into the wind and dust?
