Du Fu's famous sentence "Zhumen wine smells of flesh" once exposed the extravagance and filth of the rich and nobles. Unlike the talented Shi sheng, Jiao Da in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is rude and rude, and naturally cannot spit out ivory in his mouth. However, it was such a scoundrel who relied on the old and sold the old, but he spilled it with the strength of wine and lifted the lid on the dirty Ning Guo Mansion.
In the seventh time in the book, Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong meet in Ning Province, which was originally very happy. However, when he was about to go back, he bumped into Jiao Da and spilled after drinking. Jiao Da, believing that he had merit in following his master in his early years, felt that such a chore as sending people at night should not be sent to him, so he even scolded the housekeeper with his master:
"I'm going to go to the ancestral hall to cry grandpa." It is hoped that these animals will be born now! Every day the family steals dogs and plays with chickens, climbs the ashes, raises the little uncle to raise the little uncle, what do I not know? We 'folded our arms and hid them in our sleeves'! ”
Jiao Da's drunken scolding can be described as rude. However, this passage points directly to two sore points - "climbing ashes" and "raising a little uncle". Because Jiao Da scolded so badly that he made these ugly things public, Feng Jie, Jia Rong, and others "pretended not to hear" at that time. Later, when Bao Yu asked Sister Feng what was "climbing ashes", she was also suppressed by Wang Xifeng.
According to Wang Chunyu's book "Clematis": "Climbing ash, also known as picking ash, Weng stole his daughter-in-law." Incest is ugly, and people despise it. In many articles that study or interpret "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is almost unanimous that it is Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing who "climb the ashes" in Ning Province, which has basically become a consensus.
The reason why everyone spilled this basin of "sewage" on Qin Keqing's body is that there are many traces to be found. Earlier, Jia Baoyu went to Qin Keqing's room to take a nap, and the various furnishings in the room he saw were all hinting at Qin Keqing's "obscenity":
On the case is a treasure mirror set up in the mirror room of Wu Zetian's day, and on one side is a golden plate where Fei Yan has danced, and inside the plate is a papaya that An Lushan has thrown and injured Tai Zhen's milk. Above it is the bed where Princess Shouchang lies under Her Highness Hanzhang, and hanging is a joint bead tent made by Princess Tongchang.
Wu Zetian, Feiyan (Zhao Feiyan), Princess Taizhen (Yang Guifei), Princess Shouchang, Princess Tongchang, etc. in the text are all inextricably linked to the word "obscene". What is particularly important is that before Yang Guifei entered the palace, she was the princess of Tang Xuanzong's son Li Mao! Cao Xueqin's unspoken meaning is to use the "incest" of the Tang Dynasty to foreshadow the extraordinary relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen.
In the study of "Red Studies", there is a more important problem, that is, Cao Xueqin originally had the plot of "Qin Keqing's Obscene Funeral Tianxiang Lou", but it was later abridged. It is difficult to see the original appearance of this plot. However, after Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen's unusual mourning and mourning appearance of the staff were completely a manifestation of widowhood. Therefore, in Jiao Da's scolding, it was bound to be Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing who "climbed the ashes".
However, regarding Jiao Da's last insult, "Raising a little uncle", who is "raising a little uncle" has become a mystery case. For a long time, many people have speculated that some people think that this woman is Wang Xifeng, and some people say that it should be Lady You, although they have their own reasons, but they are still unconvincing.
In fact, if we carefully analyze the role of Qin Keqing, we will find that this "bright and feminine" and "charming" Qin Jianmei actually has a double "sin" on his body, that is, "climbing ashes" and "raising a little uncle".
In the fifth episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is described that the police illusion fairy has pointed out jia Baoyu away from lust in many ways, but Baoyu has never understood his meaning, so that the police illusion sighs: "The idiot has not yet realized!" In the end, the police illusion not only "secretly accepted the matter of cloud and rain", but also gave Qin Keqing Xu to Jia Baoyu, and the two of them caved in their dreams. It can be seen from this that when Jia Baoyu was traveling in the void realm, Qin Keqing was originally the embodiment of lust.
Back to reality, Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen had an abnormal relationship and became a "climbing ash" in Jiao Dakou. But in addition to having adultery with his father-in-law, Qin Keqing also has another "sin" - "raising a little uncle". And the person she raised was Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang is Jia Rong's cousin and is related to Qin Keqing.
Regarding the identity of Jia Qiang, the author once confessed in the ninth time:
"(Jia Qiang) The upright grandson of Yining Province, whose parents died early, lived with Jia Zhen from childhood, and is now sixteen years old, more handsome than Jia Rongsheng. The two brothers were the closest to each other and often lived together. ”
Because Jia Qiang and Jia Rong are the closest, among the men of the same generation who are most likely to be close to Qin Keqing's sister-in-law, Jia Qiang is naturally the most suspicious. In addition, this Jia Qiang is not only handsome in appearance, but also a bad water in the stomach, and it is indispensable to male thieves and female prostitutes. When Wang Xifeng poisoned the Xiangsi Bureau, the two people he was looking for to blackmail and tease Jia Rui were Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.
In addition, there is another detail that deserves our attention, that is, also in the ninth time in the book, when introducing Jia Zhen, jia zhen was mentioned to let him move out of Ning Province:
The people of Ning Province were full of miscellaneous mouths, and those undesirable slaves were capable of making words and slandering their masters, so they did not know what villains were slandering and slandering. Jia Zhen thought that he also smelled some bad mouths, and he also had to avoid some suspicions, but now he was divided into houses, and now Jia Zhen moved out of Ning Mansion and went to live by himself.
In this passage, "undesirable slaves" naturally refers to Jiao Da and the like. After Jia Zhen learned that someone had discovered the scandal of Ning Guofu, in order to avoid suspicion, he asked Jia Zhen to set up another portal. Obviously, Jia Zhen was also aware of Jia Zhen's affair with the female relatives in the house. And this woman is naturally Qin Keqing!
In front of everyone, Qin Keqing always looked kind, virtuous, and proper, so that Jia Mu's impression of her was also excellent. However, Cao Xueqin also set this woman as a symbol of lust, in addition to letting Baoyu marry her in her dreams, she also added the bad deeds of "climbing ashes" and "raising a little uncle" to her body, thus forming a sharp contrast.
