Jia Baoyu was originally a Shenying attendant of Chixia Palace, and was born into the world with the title of Tongling Baoyu. He was the second son of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion. Due to the premature death of Jia Zheng's eldest son Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu was revered as the most precious "second master of Bao" in Rongguo Mansion.
In the original work, the following text is described:
If you are born in the family of a wealthy prince, it is the seed of emotional infatuation;If a person is born into poverty and poetry, then he will be a man of excellence. Even if he was occasionally born into a poor family, he would not have been an ordinary servant and would not have been controlled by mediocre people, but would have been specially praised and admired.
In the end, Jia Baoyu was indeed born in a noble and wealthy family, and as a real aristocratic son, he became a "lover". The "Zhuzhu Fairy Grass" he watered, in order to repay the kindness, chose to repay it with "tears", although Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had a fate, they were not fateful.
I've seen this sister before. ”
This sentence is the first sentence Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu, Jia's mother thinks this is nonsense, Lin Daiyu is the first time to enter the mansion, how can the two have met?Surprisingly, when Lin Daiyu met Jia Baoyu for the first time, she also had a similar emotional reaction:
It's amazing, it feels like I've seen it in that place, it's so familiar!”
If this is the case now, then such a pick-up is likely to be seen as a lack of creativity, and it is undoubtedly a wonderful fate to put it on Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. But if you look closely, you may find that this is not an accident, but has a necessary reason in it. Just because of that moment, the emotional dispute between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu kicked off.
Lin Daiyu lost her mother when she was 6 years old, and was later taken to Rongguo Mansion by Shi Lao Taijun. In this house, there were hundreds of masters and servants combined. In such a spacious mansion, Lin Daiyu lived a very cautious life. She doesn't like to be with her father like ordinary children, and she can't be accepted by people of any age. She knew that she was under the protection of others, and that even her grandmother could not give her full trust. At this stage, Lin Daiyu felt extremely insecure on an emotional level, and she longed to find someone who could provide her with spiritual comfort, and Jia Baoyu was such a person.
Jia Baoyu is known as the "Demon King of the World" in Jia's Mansion because he can get along happily with anyone, especially with the maids in the mansion. He especially likes to mingle with girls, whom he considers to be "extremely noble and pure" beings.
In the original work, Jia Baoyu's view of male and female characters is: "Daughters are descendants made of water, while men are descendants made of earth." When I see my daughter, I feel refreshed;And when I saw the man, I felt cloudy and smelly. ”
Therefore, Jia Baoyu especially likes to interact with girls, especially those beautiful young ladies. Whenever he meets a girl, he falls deeply in love with her, and he is always surrounded by several beautiful older sisters.
First of all, we will discuss the raider, who was originally Jia's mother's entourage, but after serving Baoyu, she became Baoyu's most trusted maid, which is really strange, and Jia Baoyu also followed her advice. The attacker is by no means an ordinary woman, she aspires to be Jia Baoyu's wife. She showed her loyalty to her in front of Mrs. Wang, and tried many times to widen the distance between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, hoping that Xue Baochai would become Jia Baoyu's wife, but overall, she was well thought out.
On one occasion, the attacker deliberately provoked Jia Baoyu by falsely claiming that his mother wanted to ransom him, which made Jia Baoyu feel very anxious. In fact, the attacker was just joking. Jia Baoyu is always reluctant to let the people around him leave, especially when his roommate suddenly attacks him.
The difference between Raider and other maids is that she is called "sister-in-law" by everyone. In the original work, Jia Baoyu experienced the cloud and rain for the first time, which was experienced with the attacker. Jia Baoyu once rested on Qin Keqing's bed, because Qin Keqing's room design was biased, Jia Baoyu met the police illusion fairy in a dream, and mastered the art of cloud and rain. When he woke up, he shouted, "Keqing save me!".”
The assailant quickly stepped forward, and after a short rest, he helped Jia Baoyu put on his clothes, and when he fastened his trouser belt, his hands felt cold and wet. That night, the attacker deliberately mentioned this incident and asked Jia Baoyu what he had dreamed about during the day.
Then, he described the feelings of clouds and rain given by the police illusion, which made people hide their faces and smile. Baoyu has always liked the gentleness and coquettishness of attacking people, so he forcibly attacked Yunyu, who was warned by the police illusion with him. Although the attacker had the intention of resisting, he was used by the police. ”
Jia Baoyu had experienced the teachings of the Warning Illusion in his dream, and he would definitely seize the opportunity to experience it. The attacker knew very well what Jia Baoyu was dreaming of, and deliberately asked him, apparently wanting to establish a deeper relationship with Jia Baoyu, so she was called "sister-in-law".
There are too many women like Raider around Jia Baoyu, and even if there is no raid, there will be other people who take the initiative to come to the door, such as Xiaohong in the Yihong Courtyard of Daguanyuan.
Although this Xiaohong is a little girl who doesn't know much about things, because she has three points of beauty, she always fantasizes about being able to show off her talent in front of Baoyu. ”
At first, Xiaohong was just the little girl in charge of cleaning in Yihong's courtyard, and she didn't have a chance to enter Jia Baoyu's bedroom, but once, she seized the opportunity to pour a glass of water for Jia Baoyu. When the teenager mentions Jia Baoyu's encounter with a beautiful woman, he is always on his toes.
After Baoyu met Xiaohong yesterday, she already had reservations in her heart. If you call him by name, on the one hand, it is because you are afraid that you will be disappointed;On the other hand, he doesn't know Xiaohong's true intentions, and if he behaves well, forget it;But if he can't behave well, then he probably won't take the initiative to return it. ”
Jia Baoyu was quite depressed in order to meet Xiaohong again, but because of the incident of attacking people and others, he felt that it was inconvenient to go directly to Xiaohong, so he had to give up.
Beside Jia Baoyu, there is a woman with outstanding appearance, many readers affectionately call her "Little Daiyu", because of her straightforward words, deep and dedicated feelings for Baoyu, Jia Baoyu always keeps a distance from her. However, Qingwen is different from Raider, she is clear about her social status and identity, but her concern for Jia Baoyu is wholehearted.
Once, after Jia Baoyu finished drinking, he wanted to take a bath with Qingwen, and he told Qingwen: "I just drank a lot of wine, and I need to wash again." Since you have not washed, bring us two water to wash. ”
At that moment, Qingwen had already learned about the incident between the attacker and Jia Baoyu. But the description of Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions is relatively obscure, describing a young son of a prince's family, who is naturally emotional, and there will always be two versions in this matter. Although Qingwen had seen through everything, she still chose to refuse. In the original work, Qingwen not only rejected Jia Baoyu's joke, but also revealed another unusual experience of Jia Baoyu:
You remember when Bimke told you to take a shower, it had been two or three hours, and it was really not clear what he was doing. It's also not convenient for us to get in. But after washing, I went in to take a look, and found that the legs of the bed were flooded with water underground, and even the mat was covered with water, and I didn't know how it was washed. ”
These few words are enough to show that Jia Baoyu not only had an entanglement with the attacker, but also spent two or three hours bathing with Bijin. These two must have had other untold behaviors. Therefore, Jia Zheng often reprimanded Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang was also very worried that Baoyu might be spoiled by the girls around her.
In fact, when I read Dream of Red Mansions, I felt that Jia Baoyu was an extremely emotional person, his upbringing shaped his personality, his family environment provided him with certain conditions, and he himself was a person of outstanding appearance.
I think Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are not compatible, in addition to the relationship between Jia Baoyu and the maid, there is also the entanglement between him and Qin Zhong. In the original work, Qin Zhong is described as a rather merry character who performs a series of absurd acts with the nun Zhi'er in the Mantou Nunnery. Jia Baoyu himself has a hint of daughterly affection, so in front of a masculine man like Qin Zhong, his emotions have become more gentle.
Ever since Bao and Qin came here, their appearance was like a blooming flower. Qin Zhong looked shy and gentle, blushing before he could speak, giving people a feeling of shyness and shyness. Baoyu seems to have a natural habit of making small clothes, always bowing her head and admitting her mistakes, caring about others very much, and her words are full of tenderness. This makes the relationship between the two more intimate and makes people wonder about them, and they blame each other and spread rumors in and out of the study. ”
Many people describe Jia Baoyu as bisexual, and he has a crush not only on women, but also on men. Based on Jia Baoyu's personality and his uninhibited way of behaving, this view is entirely valid.
Obviously, among this group of people, whether it is Raider, Bi Jin or Qin Zhong, they are just temporary passers-by in Jia Baoyu's emotional world, but Lin Daiyu is what he really cherishes in his heart.
In addition to the old lady, the old man and the wife, the younger sister is in fourth place. If there is a fifth, I will swear as well. Jia Baoyu deeply regarded Sister Lin as his confidant, and he didn't want to "tease" her easily, but decided to cherish her.
Indeed, deep in Jia Baoyu's heart, Lin Daiyu's existence is indispensable. Once, Zijuan and Jia Baoyu joked that Lin Daiyu was going back to Yangzhou, and Jia Baoyu was sick for a while, and when she heard that people surnamed Lin would become anxious, she saw "a golden Western self-propelled boat furnished on the ten brocade lattices", which he said was there to pick up Sister Lin.
In my opinion, Jia Baoyu has the deepest feelings for Lin Daiyu, but unfortunately he has not really understood the meaning of the word "responsibility", and Lin Daiyu has not made clear requirements for him, so the relationship between them is not so clear. His life was spent in the pursuit of love. In the TV series, after Jia Baoyu was imprisoned, he also carried the glass lamp given to him by Lin Daiyu. After his release from prison, he took the lamp with him, and after the lamp was broken, picked up the pieces and repacked them.
Whether it is in the original book or at the end of the story, Jia Baoyu always thinks about Lin Daiyu in his heart. But in the last forty episodes of the original work, there are obvious differences between Jia Baoyu and the first eighty episodes. According to Cao Gong's point of view, I think the ending of the TV series adaptation can more truly reflect Jia Baoyu's character setting.
However, Jia Baoyu is not the only sister Lin in her heart. Lin Daiyu said to him: "You don't need to swear, I know that you have a 'sister' in your heart, but every time you see a 'sister', you will forget your 'sister'." ”
Lin Daiyu's affection for Jia Bao has always been the same, and her jealousy of Xue Baochai also stems from her sincere love for Baoyu. When Lin Daiyu performed the ritual of "burying flowers", she expressed this opinion: "I have a flower mound on that freak, and now I have cleaned it and put it in a silk bag, and then buried it with soil. After a while, it will gradually be eroded by the soil, isn't it very clean. ”
After listening to this, Jia Baoyu expressed his willingness to help her pack her luggage, and he was able to understand Lin Daiyu's character, mainly because Jia Baoyu was different from other men. He doesn't have a lot of women like the average man, and only he has one woman. Jia Baoyu is an extremely complex character, and it is precisely because he is different from other men that he truly understands his daughter's inner world. At the same time, he also sympathized with the female ** at that time, which also made Lin Daiyu's feelings for him even deeper.
I think Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are not compatible, in addition to Jia Baoyu's flowery behavior, he also has some weaknesses that cannot be repaired.
Jia Baoyu's pursuit of pleasure does not come from the hands of real men. In his heart, Lin Daiyu is different from Xue Baochai, mainly because Lin Daiyu doesn't care about Jia Baoyu's unmotivated attitude.
If Miss Lin has also said such nonsense?If he had the same thing, I would have been married to him a long time ago. ”
In the original work, Jia Zheng angrily reprimanded Jia Baoyu and said: "If you mention the word 'school' again, I will feel extremely ashamed." According to my understanding, it is reasonable that you dare to play with you. You've soiled my land and you've stained my doors!If you want to get him out of the house, you've got to get him outside!And "Damn minions!."It's just that you don't study at home, how can you do these lawless things!”
In the back of his heart, the words that advised him to pursue fame and study were regarded as "nonsense", so he was the last reluctant to see his father, Jia Baoyu, because people like Jia Baoyu were actually not worthy of his life's dependence. His dream was to become a powerful and noble child, so he valued his future and destiny very much, hoping to get ahead one day. Lin Daiyu is a very idealistic person, she will not consider other material conditions, it can be seen from her attitude towards her subordinates that she is not a money-greedy person, and her requirements for material desires are very low.
If Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were born in modern society, then the relationship between the two of them is like a rich daughter falling in love with a frustrated rich second generation, although it seems beautiful on the surface, but in essence there is no substance.
Final stage: Chen Xiaoxu, the actor who plays Lin Daiyu, said that Lin Daiyu is a person who has seen through wealth and grievances. Gao He did not explicitly express Cao Gong's wishes in his last forty chapters. If it was really her decision to write the ending, she would never let Lin Daiyu leave this world with resentment and regret, she would definitely leave with a mentality that she had seen through everything. Her tragedy is the result of her own choices. She had come to fulfill her wishes, and she should feel relieved when she repaid the kindness she had done with tears.
From this point of view, Lin Daiyu is obviously outside the world, and although Jia Baoyu tries to get rid of those shackles, in the end, she is still not as good as Lin Daiyu's insight.
In Cao Gong's works, Jia Baoyu is not an isolated existence, and although Lin Daiyu finally lost her deep affection for him, her heart is completely her own and she continues to move forward according to her own wishes.
