What will Lin Daiyu eat in her last bite before she dies? There is an answer in the half bowl of porridge that Jia Mu gave to Wang Xifeng!

Life, old age, illness and death are the laws of life.

Lin Daiyu was weak and sickly, and before she died, what would she eat in her last bite?

The book "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not finished, and can only be speculated.

There are three possibilities for Lin Daiyu's death:

The first is to speculate based on the sentence "hanging in the forest" that she hanged herself;

The second is based on the verse "Hantang Crane Shadow, Cold Moon Buries the Soul of the Flower", and Lin Daiyu's "Xiaoxiang Concubine", speculating that she died by throwing herself into the lake.

The third is based on the fact that daisy immortal grass is still tearful, and it is speculated that she died of tears.

Among the three speculations, Lin Daiyu died of tears is the most appropriate, she lived for love, but also died for love, the cause of induction is physical disease.

Lin Daiyu was born ill.

As soon as she entered the Rongguo Mansion, everyone saw that her face was weak and weak, and they knew that she had deficiency, and under questioning, Lin Daiyu said that she had taken medicine since she could eat and drink, and she had not stopped. Jia Mu learned that she was taking ginseng Yang Rong Pills and immediately ordered the pharmacy to dispense medicine for her.

Jia Fu not only prepared ginseng Yang Rong Pills for her, Lady Wang also invited Bao Tai Doctor for her and bought Tianwang Tonic Heart Dan.

However, both are pills, and both are usually commonly used medicines, before Lin Daiyu died, taking common drugs could not solve the problem at all, so it was unlikely to take medicine.

If I don't take medicine, will I eat?

Lin Daiyu usually has a good dietary guarantee, and In order to take care of her and everyone, Wang Xifeng specially set up a small kitchen in the Grand View Garden, which was also affirmed and praised by Jia Mu.

Lin Daiyu is weak, eats irregularly, others do not lack three meals a day, but she is more casual.

In the thirty-fifth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Madame Wang asked people to invite the girls to dinner together. "After half a day of invitation, only Tanchun and Xichun came, and Yingchun was impatient and did not eat; Lin Daiyu said that she had to eat five meals of Pingsu ten meals, and everyone did not care."

Lin Daiyu ate less, but she ate well.

Xue Baochao was concerned about Lin Daiyu's body and suggested that she take less medicine and eat more bird's nest food supplements.

Lin Daiyu frankly told her that she lived in Jia Province, and her food, clothing, and housing were all supplied by Jia Province, and there was no bird's nest to eat. Xue Baochao sent charcoal in the snow, and let people privately send her a large bag of bird's nest.

After this matter was known to Jia Baoyu, he believed that Lin Daiyu's move was entrusted. So in front of Jia Mu, Jia Mu assigned Wang Xifeng to supply Lin Daiyu with one or two bird's nests to eat every day.

Wang Xifeng was clever and clever, knew the position in Lin Daiyu's Jia Mu's heart, and immediately implemented the guarantee.

But no one has a hundred days to be good, and no flowers are red for a hundred days. Before Jia Fu was raided, it was already in a state of decline, Lin Daiyu's condition was aggravated at this time, and whether she could eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge was unknown.

Jia Fu is a hundred-year-old clan, dead but not stiff, Lin Daiyu can't eat bird's nest porridge before she dies, you can eat rice porridge.

Jia Fu has a habit of drinking rice porridge after a person recovers from illness.

Porridge for all ages. It is not only conducive to digestion and absorption, but also to protect the gastric mucosa, especially after the porridge is boiled, a layer of viscous "rice oil" will emerge, which has a strong tonic effect, and can even be compared with ginseng soup.

Li Shizhen, a great physician of the Ming Dynasty, praised porridge in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that it was "extremely soft and greasy, compatible with the stomach and intestines, and the most wonderful recipe for diet"; and the Qing Dynasty medical scientist Wang Shixiong said of porridge that "porridge is the world's first tonic".

In the seventy-fifth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Wang Xifeng's blood landslide was aggravated, and during the bed rest, Jia Mu asked when she ate: "Eat some porridge." "You Shi had already held a bowl and said that it was red rice porridge, and Jia Mu took half a bowl and commanded:

"Give this porridge to Brother Feng to eat."

This sentence said by Jia Mu is meaningful and secretly foreshadowing.

"Dream of the Red Chamber" is the eighty-seventh time in the book, which continues this method.

When Zi Juan comforted Lin Daiyu, she asked: "The girls have been talking for half a day, and I want to come to the girl and be tired again, just now I asked Xue yan to tell the kitchen to make a bowl of fire meat cabbage soup for the girl, added a little shrimp and rice, and matched it with some green bamboo shoots and seaweed, the girl thought okay?" Dai Yu said, "That's it." Zi Juan said, "I also boiled a little jiang rice porridge." ”

Therefore, from Jia Mu's half bowl of porridge to the sick Wang Xifeng, it is speculated that before Lin Daiyu died, the last bite she ate in the illness was most likely to be porridge.

What is the significance of Lin Daiyu eating the last bite of porridge before she dies of illness?

It not only reflects the "tragic situation" before her death, but also reflects Jia Baoyu's depressed life.

After the Jia family was raided, Jia Baoyu finally lived a life of "choking in the cold winter and breaking felt on the snowy night".

In "Liu Xinwu Continued the Red Chamber", it is written that Baoyu and Xiangyun eat sauerkraut slag:

It turned out that he didn't know who had fallen there in the slag left in the jar of pickled snow, Baoyu grabbed a handful, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and actually like a sweet fat, swallowed it, there was a lot of relief in his stomach, so he grabbed a handful and handed it to Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun ate it, and sure enough, the two of them ate the sour.

Living in this environment, the rich prince Jia Baoyu could not drink a mouthful of porridge before he died.

From Lin Daiyu drinking a mouthful of porridge before she died to having no food to eat before Jia Baoyu died, it profoundly reveals the process of Jia Fu from prosperity to decline and from decline to death, which makes people lament for Lin Daiyu and make people sigh for Jia Baoyu.
