The appearance of the characters in the dream of the Red Chamber is particularly stunning, and Cao Gong seems to have made a private customization for every important person, such as the appearance of Wang Xifeng, the appearance of Lin Daiyu, the appearance of Jia Baoyu...
Shi Xiangyun as a character in the Dream of the Red Chamber Jinling Twelve Books, although she did not appear until the twentieth time, but it is also refreshing, the original text said, Bao Yuzheng and Bao Chao joked, suddenly saw people say "Shi Da girl is coming." ”
Just these six words make people feel as if they are in front of them, as if they are going to jump out of the picture, and immediately feel a live and jumping girl walking towards us with a smile.
As soon as Baoyu heard that Sister Yun was coming, it was "lifting up and leaving", you see, it was not "lifting the legs to go" or lifting the body, and the whole body immediately moved, which showed that Baoyu wanted to see this sister's eagerness to see this sister earlier.
And when Bao Chao and Bao Yu came to Jia's mother's room together, "I saw Shi Xiangyun laughing loudly, and when he saw the two of them coming, he was busy greeting and seeing him." In a word, she not only wrote out Xiangyun's heroic and generous and cheerful personality, but also wrote out her noble status as Miss Shijia.
Speaking of Shi Xiangyun, there is a word that describes her more aptly - Sleeping Beauty. Cao Gong twice wrote about Xiang yun's mood when he slept, which was really like a begonia sleeping in spring, and it was beautiful.
The first time Xiangyun came to Jia Mansion, everyone had not yet moved into the garden, and at night Xiangyun slept with Daiyu, and the next day Cao Gong wrote out Xiangyun's sleeping state through Baoyu's eyes.
"But Shi Xiangyun dragged a handful of green silk to the side of the pillow, and was only chest-aligned, a bent snow-white arm was thrown out of the quilt, and he carried two gold bracelets." Fat Yan Zhai Criticism Cloud: Xiang Yun's state, it seems to be a delicate daughter, cute.
We can imagine this picture of Xiangyun sleeping, Baoyu said that she "sleeps not honestly." "At first glance, it is a young girl who has a very cheerful and cheerful personality from childhood to adulthood, and she is the kind of attitude that does not care about the image at all, how comfortable she is, and completely let go."
If this time to sleep, Cao Gong is only a "small test of the cattle knife", only the tip of the iceberg is exposed, then Baoyu's birthday, after drunken Xiangyun, under the action of alcohol, it is a completely different image, so there is such a beautiful red chamber picture as "Shi Xiangyun drunk sleeping peony medicine".
"Saying, when they all walked to see, they saw Xiangyun lying on a stone bench in the middle of the mountain stone, and after a dream of incense, the peony flowers flew on all sides, and the red incense was scattered on the placket of his face, the fan in his hand was in the ground, and he was also half buried by the falling flowers, and a group of bees and butterflies surrounded him with a clamor, and wrapped a bag of peony petals with a fish paw."
On this short description of more than 100 words, I don't know how many painters in later generations have painted it, and the "sleeping beauty" in the Grand View Garden was born!
In fact, even if no painter paints it, we can still imagine through Cao Gong's delicate text description what kind of beauty Xiangyun is, and this beauty can only be stored in the Grand View Garden.
Xiangyun would not be like this in her uncle's house, let alone in The Room of Lady Jia Muwang, she was only in the Grand View Garden, in the sisters' bush, and she was a real and completely relaxed flesh-and-blood Shi Xiangyun.
And the name of this sleeping beauty is only worthy of her Xiangyun, and such an elegant thing is only done by her Xiangyun. Can Daiyu do it? Delicate in body, she slept in the room and was still tightly wrapped, lest she be afraid of the wind and cold, on a stone bench? So how does that make it?
Body like Concubine Yang, is it okay for a congenitally strong sister? The body may allow it, but the character of the fang-hidden foolish sister Bao, ideologically must have refused. Isn't that too disreputable? Doesn't this seem to be a boudoir? That's not going to be broken!
Only Shi Xiangyun, who was naïve, serious about righteousness, uninhibited, and heroic, could do such a thing. And only if she is like this, she will not be truthful, will not bring trouble to herself, on the contrary, everyone is still loving and laughing.
For Xiang Yun, even if someone points at her behind her back, she can still be fearless, and even in person, it is very likely that she will go back to her face, because she is frank and frank. Usually in her uncle's house is already very depressing and bound, daguanyuan is the only paradise she can let down her guard and return to her own paradise.
Xiangyun is not just a sleeping beauty, she treats people with sincerity and sincerity.
When she was a child, Xiangyun, due to the early death of her parents, was taken to Jia Fu by Jia Mu and lived in Jia Province for several years, so she had a good relationship with several big men in Jia Province.
She had brought four rings, which were specially given to the raiders who had served her, Jia Mu's chief mandarin duck, Lady Wang's mandarin, and Wang Xifeng's mandarin.
Why these four squirrels? Maybe when Xiangyun was a child, he walked closest to the four of them, the best, even if he grew up and returned to his uncle's house, but how could Xiangyun, who was very affectionate, forget the sisterhood of the hour?
Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, courtesy light and affectionate. A young lady specially brought a gift for the young lady who used to get along better. When the attacker joked that Xiangyun did not dare to get close to Miss Xiangyun, Xiangyun immediately swore an oath that he wanted to do this, and he died immediately. It can be seen that Xiangyun is a person with heavy feelings.
Not only is it heavy affection, Xiangyun is also a woman who loves to fight and hug unevenly, when Baoqin came to the Grand View Garden, xiangyun, who was straight-talking, immediately reminded her:
"You come to the garden except in front of the old lady, and these two places just joke about eating and drinking." When you get to the wife's house, if the wife is in the house, just talk and laugh with the wife, and sit down more than once; if the wife is not in the house, you don't go in, the people in the house are bad, they are all going to harm us. ”
Xiang Yun's words pointed directly at Aunt Zhao and her gang, and Bao Chao said that although she had a heart, she was still too straight in the end, and it was good, because it was easy to be injured by mistake. But Xiangyun didn't think so much, she just wanted to remind Baoqin.
When Xiang Yun heard the ins and outs of Xing Xiuyan's dress, he got angry and said, "Wait until I ask the second sister to go!" I scolded the old woman and the, how about giving you a blow? "This is Xiang Yun, who loves to fight and hug injustice, can't see others being humiliated, and is a woman who is serious about love and righteousness."
Thinking about Xiangyun's words, she more or less pinched a handful of sweat for her, after all, this is Jia Fu, she is still cautious at her uncle's house, in Jia Fu Yan can casually scold those inferior people? Isn't that making enemies for yourself? But where Xiangyun thinks so much, the unfair encounter with the sister, is that he can't see it, and he wants to stand up for her.
There are always people covering you, willing to stand up for you, even at all costs, there are such sisters in the boudoir, even if they cause trouble, it is worth it.
Saying that Xiangyun is a female man, not only is she serious about righteousness, easy to fight and uneven, she herself also especially likes to play a false boy, Baoyu's birthday, she is completely let go, and Baoyu fist fight, this ordinary girl can't do it, right? Xiangyun can be.
Not only that, everyone Lu Xue'an jointly wrote a poem, xiangyun and Baoyu secretly calculated the piece of venison, and as a result, they were caught by everyone, and at this time, Xiangyun was chewing venison! Such a woman, simply not too cute, too funny, she is simply the pistachio of everyone.
However, Xiangyun's series of female men's behavior not only do not make us feel annoying, but we like her as a fat powder hero, like her red pink lady who is not bound to the boudoir, just like she said, is the real celebrity self-style. At least, Shi Xiangyun in the Grand View Garden was uninhibited and likable.
She is a sleeping beauty, a woman, a real celebrity, and the most authentic self.
