Love is the eternal theme of literature and art. In "Peacock Southeast Flying", Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing go from marriage and mutual observance to divorce and martyrdom love story, bright and clear, beautiful and poignant, pitiful, and let people sigh.
Jiao Zhongqing faced, "I fell into the water at the same time as your mother, who will you save first?" The difficult choice, both wanting to be filial to the mother, but also reluctant to spoil his wife and beautiful relatives, in desperation, once he died, he finally "wandered under the garden tree and hung himself on the southeast branch."
Liu Lanzhi's beautiful appearance, intelligent and delicate life posture, distinct personality of love and hatred, unswerving love concept, etc., are the sexy beauties and intellectual women that people dream of. Such a good-looking and beautiful, gentle and knowledgeable, both skilled and characterful young woman of the good family, should be loved by people, flowers bloom, cars see cars burst tires, but finally "take off the skirt and take off the silk shoes, lift yourself to the clear pool."
It's a pity that a pair of mandarin ducks are suffering.
Theoretically, literature comes from life but is higher than life, in "Peacock Southeast Flying", the rendering of Liu Lanzhi's skills, the description of the dress, the display of the body, the narration of the conversation style, etc., exceed the general level of ordinary family women, appearing illusory and even magical. To put it bluntly, it is to say, good is good, a bit fake. Its setting of family relations also has many incomprehensible places. In "Peacock Flying Southeast", according to the general standard of living and cognitive logic, we put forward three puzzles for everyone to comment and criticize.
1. I don't understand, where did Liu Lanzhi's extraordinary skills and skills come from?
"Thirteen can weave, fourteen learn tailoring, fifteen bullets, sixteen poetry books." Seventeen is a royal woman, and her heart is always bitter. ”
The original meaning of "plain" is white silk, that is, the silk fabric of the primary color. In Chinese history, for a long time, the families of ordinary residents only raised silkworms, and there was no condition for reeling and weaving, and the production of silk fabrics was generally in professional workshops set up by the government or specific commercial organizations. Therefore, ordinary girls simply do not have the opportunity or qualifications to learn weaving. Liu Lanzhi "can weave vegetarian", the Liu family does not have this condition, only in a specific institution or organization, can learn to weave vegetarian.
"Tailoring" includes cutting and sewing clothes. Sewing and patching, women will, but there are not many people who can cut, this is also a skill, need to learn. "Playing the flute" refers to the ability to play an instrument by recognizing the rhythm of music, which is not something that ordinary girls have the opportunity or are qualified to learn.
"Poetry book" refers to being able to read and hyphenate, which requires entering the school. The above skills are not necessary for women in ordinary households, and even the upper-middle and upper-class female dependents in society do not need them.
Historically, due to the needs of government management, or out of the need to invest in making money, government departments or non-governmental organizations will set up some entities such as song and dance, music and rhythm to cultivate song and dance music talents for social needs. Ordinary resident families, for the sake of improving family conditions, will send or sell girls to cultivate specific talents that people need. Therefore, we suspect that Liu Lanzhi was professionally trained in a similar "geisha" nature when she was young, otherwise there would not be so many non-general and unconventional skills.
2. Second, I wonder where Liu Lanzhi's non-ordinary belongings were obtained from?
"Concubines have embroidered waistbands, and the leaves are self-generating; the red Luo Fu Dou tent, the four-corner hanging sachet; the box curtain is sixty or seventy, the green and green silk rope, and the things are different, and all kinds of things are in it." People are despised, not enough to welcome future generations, and left to be left as a legacy, and there is no reason for this. ”
This is the object that Liu Lanzhi left for Jiao Zhongqing before leaving. What is a "waist button"? It was a waist-length jacket, very short, and now it is also worn by others. Strictly speaking, the "waist top" is not a clothing that hides shame and cold, but a decorative clothing, not worn by people who work hard. What is a "bucket tent"? It is on the bed, hanging up on the small and large shape of the "bucket" of the tent. "Red Luo" is a red light soft silk fabric. "Complex" is a double layer. Double-layered accounts made of "red luo", four corners embellished with sachets, luxury pay attention to the high grade. It is not used by ordinary people who live at home at home. There are also "box curtain sixty or seventy", which is also too much. The above things are not the things that a wife of a small official in Lujiang Province should have.
"The chicken chirps and desires, and the bride puts on strict makeup." I embroidered the skirt and did everything in all directions. The feet are trampled, and the tortoiseshell light is on the head. The waist is like a stream of silk, and the ears are bright and bright. Fingers such as chopping shallot roots, mouth such as zhu dan. Slim and delicate steps, exquisite and unparalleled. ”
This is the outfit that Liu Lanzhi dressed up the morning she was sent home. What is a "clipping skirt"? Generally, the skirt is single-layered, and the "clip skirt" is a double-layered skirt with a surface. What is "silk shoes"? It is a shoe made of silk fabric, which was a luxurious costume in ancient times. General residents, pay attention to a little bit of cloth shoes. "Tortoiseshell" is a kind of high-end ornament, "纨素" is a delicate white silk, and "tortoiseshell" is a jade earring. This kind of attire, even now, is not available to the families of ordinary grass-roots State workers.
Liu Lanzhi gave extraordinary belongings to Jiao Zhongqing, and put on extraordinary clothes and costumes to take away, what does it mean? It shows that these things are not the Jiao family's, but Liu Lanzhi's premarital property, otherwise they cannot dispose of them at will.
The Liu family is just an ordinary resident's family, which is clearly described in the text of "Peacock Flying Southeast". Liu Lanzhi's dialogue with her mother-in-law is: "When she was a daughter in the past, she was born in the wilderness, and she had no lessons from herself, and she was ashamed of her noble family. The dialogue between Liu Lanzhi's mother and the matchmaker was: "Poor and lowly have this woman, and it is appropriate to return to the house." If you can't stand the wives of the officials, will you make a langjun? "Therefore, the Liu family is certainly not a rich and powerful family, and Liu Lanzhi's non-ordinary property is not her mother's family."
Where did Liu Lanzhi's extraordinary possessions come from? We guess that Liu Lanzhi has two stages in her life before marriage, one is the learning stage and the other is the stage of making money. When Liu Lanzhi was young and young, she received professional training similar to that of a "geisha"; when she became an adult, she spent time in a for-profit institution or organization. Therefore, there are both special skills and special possessions.
3, three puzzles, the same mother and son, why Jiao Mother talks, and Liu Mother wants to listen to her son?
The mother-in-law bullied the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law looked for the old announcement, and the son looked for the mother to judge, and was scolded by the mother. "Ho Nai Tai District! The woman was rude and acted spontaneously. I have long been angry, and I am free! There is a virtuous daughter in the east family, who calls herself Qin Luoshi, who is extremely poor, and the aunt is for Ru. You can quickly dispatch it, send it to Shen Moliu! ”
The son threatened his mother, "Fu Wei Qi Amu, if you send this woman now, you will never take it back!" The mother was furious with the mallet, "The boy is fearless, how dare he help the woman!" I have lost my grace and righteousness, and I will not obey it! ”
After only two rounds, the son was defeated. In turn, he persuaded his wife to return to her mother's house, "I will not drive qing qing, and force my aunt to do so." Qing Dan temporarily returned home, and I will report to the government today. Soon when it is returned, it will be welcomed. With this intention, be careful not to disobey my words. ”
This is the situation of the Jiao family, and it is different to the Liu family. Liu Lanzhi refused to mention his relatives: Brother Ah had to hear it, and he was upset in his heart, and he raised his words to say to Sister Ah: "Why not measure it!" First married to the government official, and then married to Lang Jun. No Tai is like heaven and earth, enough to glorify the body. If you don't marry a righteous man, what does he want to do? Lan Zhi looked up and replied, "It's as my brother said." Xie family affair husband, middle way back brother door. Punishment is suitable for brotherhood, that has to be self-appointed! Although he wants to be with the government officials, the canal will never be related. If you make peace, you can marry. ”
In the text of "Peacock Flying Southeast", there is no improvement to Jiao Zhongqing's father, but Liu Lanzhi has a father and a mother. In the exchange between Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing, there is: "I have my own parents, persecution and brotherhood, so that I should respond to others, what else can I expect!" ”
This is strange, the family conditions are similar, the same son, why Jiao Zhongqing listens to his mother, and Liu Lanzhi wants to listen to his brother.
We suspect that this is most likely related to Liu Lanzhi's premarital status. Due to the poor family conditions and the consideration of improving the family environment, Liu Lanzhi was sent out by her family or sold to an institution or organization similar to the nature of a "geisha" when she was a child, and learned many skills, and then, with her own appearance and skills, or stayed in a for-profit institution or organization, or stayed in a rich and powerful family, or had a life connection with a rich and powerful person. Due to specific reasons, he could not stay any longer, so he married Jiao Zhongqing, a small official of Lujiang Province.
The beginning of "Peacock Flying Southeast" begins with the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the root of the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is attributed to the mother-in-law's dislike of daughter-in-law, which is very puzzling. When Liu Lanzhi first married Jiao Zhongqing, Jiao's mother agreed, that is, at the beginning, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could get along. However, Liu Lanzhi did not have children for three years after marriage, and Jiao's mother suddenly learned unfavorable news about Liu Lanzhi before marriage, and she was angry and angry, so she immediately repatriated Liu Lanzhi. This understanding is more in line with the general logic of life and common sense of life, which is probably the original blueprint for the story of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing.
