In the past two days, I moved again, but fortunately, I moved to the next neighborhood, so I was busy quickly. Then he immediately resumed the rhythm of reading "Dream of Red Mansions".
Recently, I have been listening to the interpretation of "Dream of Red Mansions" by several teachers at the same time, and I also went to Yangpu Library to borrow a complete set of "Jiang Xun Says Dream of Red Mansions" (Yangpu Library has a whole large bookshelf full of books related to "Dream of Red Mansions"), so during this time, I may have written more interpretations of "Dream of Red Mansions" from my own perspective.
Reading "Dream of Red Mansions" last night, I read a conversation between Aunt Zhao and Jia Zheng, and I immediately shuddered in my heart, and my first reaction was: Oops, the gears of fate are starting to roll.
And then continue to read, a little sad for Qingwen, it turns out that Qingwen's tragedy did not start with the inspection of the Grand View Garden, and fate strangled her, unconsciously from a long time ago.
What is the conversation between Aunt Zhao and Jia Zheng?
It was Mrs. Wang's eldest maid Caixia who was released because of her age (in fact, it was also related to her helping Jia Huan steal things last time), and then Sister Feng's son of Wang'er's family wanted to marry Caixia, Caixia was affectionate to Jia Huan, and secondly, she knew that the son of Wang'er's family had a very poor character and didn't want to be mistaken for life. So I asked Aunt Zhao for help.
Aunt Zhao took advantage of the evening when she was with Jia Zheng and begged Jia Zheng to give Caixia to Jia Huan to fill the house.
So Jia Zheng said: "What are you busy with, wait for them to study for another year or two, and then release them." I have taken a fancy to two girls, one with Baoyu and one for Huan'er, but I am still young, and I am afraid that they will miss the book, so I will wait another year or two. ”
Aunt Zhao heard this and replied: "Baoyu has been around for two years, and the master still doesn't know?" ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who gave it?" ”
Reading this paragraph late at night, I almost found it horrible.
I don't know why I completely ignored this paragraph when I read "Dream of Red Mansions" before, but in fact, this dialogue is full of a lot of information:
First, the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng may not be very good, otherwise Aunt Zhao would not have encountered problems, and her first thought was to attack Jia Zheng; And from Jia Zheng's willingness to talk to Aunt Zhao about such a very private thing as finding a room girl for his son, I feel that the two of them are still relatively close and harmonious.
Second, there are no secrets in Jia Fu. Everyone knows that the attacker and Baoyu had a relationship, and Mrs. Wang secretly gave the attacker to Baoyu, and everyone knows about it;
This conversation seems to have nothing to do with Qingwen, but this is the first ambush that fate gave Qingwen.
Why? Because of Aunt Zhao's words, Mrs. Wang's back was attacked. In order to protect herself, she must make some moves, and Qingwen, who has never been liked by her, is naturally the first to be sacrificed.
Cao Xueqin did not write specifically about what happened to Aunt Zhao, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang because of this sentence. But does that mean nothing happens?
Of course not, if you reread "Dream of Red Mansions", it is not difficult to find that after this sentence, Mrs. Wang's life in Jiafu and the thorny events she encountered were so many that she could hardly support it.
First of all, Jia's mother, who had not exercised her management power for a long time, punished a group of old mothers who gathered to gamble; It was the stupid eldest sister who picked up the embroidered spring sac, and then was seen by Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing directly sent this kind of thing to Mrs. Wang, and then followed by the inspection of the Daguan Garden, and then Mrs. Wang wanted to find a better ginseng for Sister Feng, and wanted to add a bowl of polished rice to You's family, but she couldn't do it.
I wrote before that a very important reason for Qingwen's death is that Jiafu really has no money, and you need to consider the cost performance. Therefore, Mrs. Wang can only use various names to make people, and whoever has high economic value and practical value may stay. As a reader, I like Qingwen very much, she is not servile, but in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, Qingwen is probably the first woman.
Of course, this is only the one most important reason.
There is another reason, that is, Mrs. Wang's internal and external troubles came too quickly.
Mrs. Wang was particularly impatient in the story of the seventy-second and seventy-eighth chapters, because when Wang Xifeng was sick and needed her own housekeeper, she felt so obviously that she was questioned and complained about inside and out. Mrs. Xing sent the embroidered spring sac over, which in Mrs. Wang's eyes was a kind of ridicule of her.
People are always the most irritable when they want to prove themselves, but they don't have the right time, place and conditions, plus lack of ability.
Human anger, sometimes, comes from conscience and integrity.
But more often than not, it does come from a deep understanding of one's own incompetence.
(Actually, I like Yang Mi's Qingwen very much, the temperament is really suitable, that kind of carelessness and pride, I can't find it very much now)
Madame Wang is the latter. At this time, where could she still resist Jia Zheng's questioning of "who gave it", which was from the ridicule of the person next to the pillow. So she has no choice but to cover it up with the craziest means.
Because Jiafu has no money to pick up people, it is helpless.
But if someone like Tanchun were to act, Qingwen and the others would indeed have a different ending.
Therefore, the second ambush that fate gave Qingwen was to let her meet helpless and incompetent people at the moment when she needed to resolve the crisis the most.
But what shocked me the most was that the third ambush that fate gave Qingwen came from herself.
Cao Xueqin is really good at writing. In the time of copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, whether it was the death of Si Qi or the death of Qingwen, the foreshadowing was indeed laid early.
Si Qi's death has her own transgressions, but her fate is also entangled with Yingchun's cowardly character.
Qingwen, the same. Qingwen's fate is entangled with Mrs. Wang's situation and Jia Baoyu's character. But why did Raider, Autumn Stripe, and Musk Moon escape this entanglement?
I won't talk about my ordinary personality and way of behaving in the world. I think that when Teacher Meng Man commented on Qingwen, there was a sentence that was particularly good, she said that Qingwen, as a maid, lacked some executive ability.
In addition, I think Qingwen lacks the most -
It's a lack of awareness of fate.
Just when the Grand View Garden has been turbulent like that, when the attackers, autumn patterns, etc., faintly feel that something is going to happen, what did Qingwen do?
Knowing that Aunt Zhao had sued Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, she asked Baoyu to pretend to be sick to avoid Jia Zheng's interrogation of him. That's okay, she also deliberately made a big deal and shouted everywhere, so that the entire Jia Mansion knew that Baoyu was scared sick because of poor management in the park.
So, Jia Mu complained to Mrs. Wang in an angry manner.
Later, Mrs. Xing also came out to make trouble.
Mrs. Wang is not good at housekeeping. But from a certain point of view, it was an unintentional action by Qingwen that pushed Mrs. Wang onto the brazier to roast.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang later hated Qingwen the most. Her compassion didn't give Qingwen at all, and she wasn't even allowed to wear a good dress.
In fact, Qingwen's death really has little to do with whether she seduces Baoyu or not, I used to think that beauty hurt her, but later I realized that beauty is innocent, and it was Qingwen's excessive dullness to fate that hurt her.
Fate has ambushed her threefold, if she is willing to calm her mind, she can smell some crises, then as long as she adjusts her direction, at least one side of the net will be loose, and it will not form a strangulation situation.
It's a pity that because she has a little bit of cleanliness for human nature, she always wants to expose the unbearable of others, and she can't stand the complexity of human nature, and she is a little proud, so she is always impatient and angry, but gradually dulls her awareness of fate, and suddenly she doesn't know that the net of bad luck has begun to close, and she even helped fate tighten its strength.
As I said earlier, people's anger, sometimes, comes from conscience and integrity, and from not being able to adjust their perception of the world.
But more often than not, it comes from a deep understanding of one's own incompetence.
Qingwen is the former. Madame Wang is the latter.
If two such people meet, one will die.
Again, never test, prove, or expose the helplessness and incompetence of others, whether unintentional or intentional. That kind of thing, no one can catch it.
In the strangulation of fate, the first thing to be broken is the beautiful and flawless jade, and the stone is often washed away, revealing a rough texture, and then survives.
