In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the most tragic woman is not Daiyu, not Yingchun, nor Xiangling. She is Xiangling's mother, Feng Shi.
If he could predict the various accidents that followed, would Feng Shi not have the courage to face one misfortune after another and bear the misery of spending his twilight years alone and being alone.
In the beginning, Feng Shi was a happy and relaxed woman. She is the daughter of a wealthy family, and is married to Zhen Shiyin, a township eunuch in Renqing Lane, Shili Street, Gusu City. Flowers and bamboo are planted in the courtyard of the home, and there are also servants who serve them. Shi Yin has a quiet temperament, does not seek fame and fortune, the Zhen family's wife Feng Shi Xianshu, Zhishu Dali, the two husbands sing women with, and there is a beloved daughter Xiao Yinglian Chenghuan under the knees, the days are comfortable and comfortable, a quiet and good look of the years.
Fate is sometimes ruthless and unreasonable, and it prefers to play tricks on good people. Four-year-old Xiao Yinglian was lost by her family Huo Qi during the Lantern Festival. The heart and liver baby of the pink makeup jade was gone, and the heavens of the Zhen couple collapsed. Since then, happiness has quietly escaped, silently.
There was no news of the beloved daughter, and the explosion of the adjacent Gourd Temple caused a fire, and the Zhen family was burned, and the tiles were gone. The couple took their servants and ran to Fengsu. Zhen Shiyin gave the old man silver two in exchange for his good looks. In the end, because of his inability to cultivate crops, he neglected to maintain his family and keep his business, and was sealed and ridiculed.
Repeatedly beaten mercilessly by fate, Zhen Shiyin, who was already a recluse, along with a monk, Xu is Yunyou, Xu is a xiu immortal, and the dust edge is broken.
After Feng Shi wept bitterly and sadly, he continued to live under his father's roof.
Her ending, "Dream of the Red Chamber" did not explain, how can it be explained? Without a daughter, without a husband, she is like a grass in the wilderness, withered and no one knows.
Originally, she was a chrysanthemum in the pavilion in the courtyard, quiet and elegant, bathed in the sun, fragrant, carefree and fearless. Her husband Zhen Shi is as reclusive as a bamboo and is high and pure, and the two people in Gusu City are a pair of rich and idle people, watching Xiao Yinglian grow up day by day, marrying the right family, teasing sun, slowly growing old, and being clean and comfortable.
This seemingly logical direction of life has been rewritten and smeared. The road to the end, the road of thorns, has just begun.
Xiangling grew up in a scolding after being abducted at the age of four, and her parents' pampered childhood memories are few. For life, she has a rare blunt feeling, infinitely amplifying a little sweetness contained in the bitterness, which is the self-protection instinct that life gives her.
Feng's life was more bitter than his daughter's. When she reaches middle age, she is still the one who is well protected, like a little woman who does not understand the world. The husband is decent, the daughter is well-behaved, the field is rich, rich and comfortable. She only needs to be a woman who has money and leisure and enjoys the blessings of purity.
The blunt sensitivity that the daughter has cultivated since she was a child has not been able to go downwind for decades. The great changes in life struck, the sharp pain was like a knife cutting, fortunately, Feng Shi was a flexible woman, and she could only cope with this unknown with flexibility.
Feng's kind people have all failed her. The cause of the disaster was Huo Qi, and Huo Qi fled to other places, completely unaware of his master's gentle forgiveness. Jia Yucun, a cold door student who made his debut, did not remember the old days of the Zhen couple with blue eyes and warmly received help. Kindness is given to ungrateful people, and benevolence has no value. Jia Yucun, who had become an official, remembered the Zhen family's concubine Jiaoxing, who looked back at the cold when he was cold, and met Ben Na as a concubine, and then helped him to correct it.
His righteousness was only given to the fateful apricot. Married to the old benefactor's maid, and the benefactor is considered to be related and brought with him. The homeland is decadent, the benefactor does not know where to go, and the incense ling obtained from the door is the little Yinglian who was lost since childhood, and it is reasonable to think of reuniting mother and daughter, so as to be worthy of the generous help of the benefactor.
I am afraid that he did not say anything about this matter with Jiaoxing, if Jiaoxing knew, thinking of the love of the master and servant, he might help. Or he had told Jiaoxing that the wusha hat of Xianggong was the most important, and Jiaoxing chose to be silent.
Those who knew were silent, including Xiao Shami of the Gourd Temple, and later the Door. Everyone tends to benefit and avoid harm, watching the mother and daughter disperse and not reuniting.
Zhen Shiyin eventually lost his wife Fengshi. Husband and wife, the great disaster is approaching, Zhen Shiyin should be the fengshi's reliance and patron, and spend the rest of his life together in his twilight years. Abandoning his kind and weak wife, giving up looking for his beloved daughter, he left to cultivate the Immortal Cultivation Path, Zhen Shiyin was selfish and cowardly.
The wife is still surviving the robbery and needs to be tempered. He left her fiercely and went to purdue. In this way, how can we live with ourselves, how can we live with her, and how can we cross others? Xu is, and Zhen Shiyin is also the robbery of the Feng clan. Fate gives Fengshi what she accepts, and her equally soft and kind daughter is just like her. Only others bear them, and they have never failed others.
Feng's only relative is his snobbish father. In her twilight years, she was destined to live like walking on thin ice. She was so virtuous and so kind, but fate did not treat her kindly.
Feng Shi, the most tragic woman in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Xu yes, every night of the rest of her life, she dreamed of three-year-old Xiao Yinglian running to her with a smile and calling her mother...
It was the warmth of her life, the remaining warmth.
