The author of "The Legend of Ruyi" should be very fond of "Dream of Red Mansions", and many plots and lines can be found in "Red Mansions".
Especially the emotional line between Qianlong and Ruyi, "Immediately on the Wall" is aimed at Bao Dai's reading of "West Chamber"; Ruyi and music scores are sent to Qingying in the ground, and Baoyu is sent to Daiyu with old handkerchiefs; even the sentence "You can rest assured" is what Baoyu said to Daiyu.
Benchmarking is benchmarking, but similar plots do not mean that people can have a similar perception.
For example, sending Ruyi is far from Baoyu sending a veil.
In "The Legend of Ruyi", because Qingying was grounded by the Queen Mother, Qianlong deliberately let the Queen Mother live in Shoukang Palace on the grounds of repairing Cining Palace.
A month after Qingying was grounded, Wang Qin told Qianlong that the Cining Palace had been repaired.
Qianlong was still unwilling to budge.
His thinking was also quite jumpy, just now he was still discussing the topic of the Queen Mother's move to the palace, and suddenly remembered Qing Ying again, and asked Wang Qin to send a wishful knot and the score of "Horse on the Wall" to Qing Ying.
Wang Qin came to the Qiandi, gave things to him, and brought Qianlong's love words.
He said: The emperor means that he hopes that everything will go well with the young master.
As for the score, it's for Qingying to read more when she's fine.
Then, Wang Qin said that the emperor wants to ask for a token, no matter what it is, as long as it is Qingying's.
So Qing Ying handed over the red lily green cherry handkerchief that she was only about to finish embroidering with the last stitch to Wang Qin.
I really want to complain here, this handkerchief has been embroidered since the day the other concubines moved out of the hidden mansion.
And it's already almost embroidered.
Why has it been half a month, and she hasn't finished embroidering.
With such an embroidery speed, people can't help but wonder if the embroidery sold outside the palace was really embroidered by her when she was in the cold palace?
I was distressed for a second.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu was violently beaten by his father Jia Zheng for various reasons and was seriously injured.
Sister Lin waited until everyone was gone before she came to see him.
She cried so much that although Baoyu was hurt, she comforted her in turn, saying that she was not in pain.
Daiyu had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it, and finally only said one sentence: From now on, you will change everything.
Because Sister Feng came suddenly, Sister Lin was afraid of being teased by her, so she left in a hurry.
At night, Baoyu couldn't rest assured that Sister Lin would let Qingwen go to see her.
Qingwen felt that it was not good to go for no reason, so Baoyu took out two old handkerchiefs that she had used and asked Qingwen to bring them over.
Qingwen didn't understand, and she was afraid that Daiyu would think that Baoyu was making fun of her and would get angry.
But Baoyu said: Don't worry, she knows.
Sure enough, after Sister Lin saw the old veil, she was full of emotion.
The original text is-
Here Daiyu is considerate of the meaning of the handkerchief, and unconsciously the spirit is galloping: "Baoyu's painstaking intentions can understand my painstaking intentions, and make me happy; I don't know what I mean in the future, and it makes me sad; suddenly I sent two old handkerchiefs, if I didn't understand my deep meaning, just looking at this handkerchief, it made me laughable; and then I wanted to let people pass it on to me privately, and it made me terrible; I cried every time, and it was tasteless to think about, and I was ashamed." Thinking about it like this, it boiled within five days.
That night, Sister Lin wrote "Three Uniques of the Title Pa" on this old handkerchief.
Aren't these two episodes similar?
But why can't you feel the affection between the two when you watch Qianlong send Ruyi, and why do you really feel that these two people are really confidants?
Personally, I think there are several reasons, one is that the things sent are wrong, the second is that the person sent is wrong, and the third is that what is said is wrong.
Qingying has been grounded for three years, and what she needs most is undoubtedly Qianlong to find a way to get herself out, so that she can stay together.
Even when Ah Ji saw Wang Qin, he thought that the emperor asked him to pass the word and let Qingying out.
It can be seen that this is their most urgent need.
In fact, in the month that Qingying was imprisoned, Qianlong didn't think to come to see her at all, nor did he send anyone to deliver the news.
It's been so long, and Baba sent a useless jade Ruyi, and said that she wished her all the best.
Let's just say, isn't that really ironic?
Qingying is locked in Chonghua Palace, usually the palace door is locked, she can't move freely, and she can't see her beloved young man, how can everything go well?
There is also a musical score, which is also a meaning.
In fact, it is enough to send things here, but in order to emphasize the so-called "Lan Yin" before the two of them, and they are reluctant to "everything goes well", they have to send both.
It can only be said that greed for more and greed has lost its deliciousness.
This is not the right thing to give.
There are many interpretations as to why Baoyu gave Lin Daiyu an old handkerchief.
Some people say that because Sister Lin loves to cry, she gave her used handkerchief, which meant wiping her tears.
Some people say that because the two read "The Legend of the West Chamber" together, there is a bridge section of sending a handkerchief, so Baoyu also uses a handkerchief to convey affection.
Some people also said that this is based on Feng Menglong's "Don't write love words, don't write poems, one side Supa sends his heart." I know that I have taken it upside down, and the horizontal silk is also the vertical silk", to express lovesickness.
We are not red scholars, so we dare not say which is more accurate, but it is certain that in that era, the transmission of intimate things between young men and women must have expressed the word "love".
Moreover, Sister Lin was "in a state of spirit" after seeing the handkerchief, which shows that this gift was sent to her heart.
Baoyu sent a handkerchief to Sister Lin, and it was Qingwen who sent it.
For this reason, he also specially took the attackers away.
The original text is: (Baoyu) Because he remembered Daiyu in his heart, he was full of desire to send people, but he was afraid of attacking people, so he set up a method to make the attackers go to Baochai to borrow books.
There are so many maids in his house, why do you send Qingwen alone?
is undoubtedly because Qing is Daiying, he believes in Qingwen's character and believes that she can keep secrets.
And who is the Qianlong faction?
A perverted old eunuch Wang Qin, moreover, this person is also the queen's confidant.
Isn't it disgusting to let such a person pass on tokens and their own love words?
This is not the right person.
In the end, it was not right.
The relationship between a man and a woman is very private and not for outsiders.
Sometimes it's all in plain sight.
The Ruyi that Qianlong sent to Qingying and "Horse on the Wall" are very clear, and fools know what they mean.
But he still had to ask Wang Qin to say that he hoped that Qingying would do well, and watch more "Horse on the Wall" and the like when he had time.
After he sent the token, Qing Ying didn't know how to give a return gift, and Wang Qin had to ask for it.
After Wang Qin left, he arranged for Ah Zhen to boast that the emperor was reading Qingying, emphasizing the relationship between them.
Such a plot not only makes people feel that there is no tacit understanding between these two people, but also makes people feel that the feelings between them are just from other people's mouths.
On the other hand, Bao Dai, Qingwen didn't understand why she wanted to send the old handkerchief, and she was worried that Daiyu would be unhappy.
Baoyu was very sure that Daiyu would naturally understand his mind when she saw the handkerchief.
After Qingwen delivered the handkerchief, there was no extra nonsense, so she put down her things and left.
Sending an old handkerchief is much more puzzling than what kind of wishful thinking and music scores, otherwise people will not still be speculating about it to this day.
But Daiyu "searched carefully, thought for a while, and came to his senses", and then "the soul was wandering" and "lingering".
This is the needless mutual understanding between two people who are in love with each other.
"The Legend of Ruyi" uses the plot of "Red Mansion", but it is used so dry and tasteless, obviously only learning the form, not the god.
It can be regarded as a kind of removal of its essence and taking its dross.
