Illustration: Sun Wen, "Painting the Dream of Red Mansions".
"Dream of Red Mansions" has a lot of seemingly inconsequential, but actually carefully arranged plots and character relationships.
For example, Jia Lian and Qin Keqing, the two are uncles and nephews and daughters-in-law. It has never intersected, but it was deliberately designed by Cao Xueqin to become related, and there is a deep meaning behind it.
I am Jun Jian Yakan Red Mansion, and I will tell you about those things in "Dream of Red Mansions".
(The thirteenth) this night, under the lamp of Heping'er, the stove was tired of embroidering, the early life of the thick Xun embroidered quilt, the two of them slept, and counted (Jia Lian) where the trip should go, and unconsciously handed over three drums. Ping'er is asleep. Sister Feng Fang Juexing's eyes were slightly clouded, and in a trance, she saw the Qin family coming from outside, and said with a smile: "Auntie is so sleepy!."If I go back today, you won't give me a ride. Because the ladies are getting along with each other, I can't bear to be an aunt, so I don't want to say goodbye to you. There is another wish that has not been fulfilled, unless you tell your aunt, others may not be useful. ”Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu to go, and Qin Keqing died. There seems to be no connection behind this, but it is not.
First, the order of Qin Keqing and Jia Lian's "eldest and youngest".
Qin Keqing's death kicked off the defeat of Jiafu. It was precisely because of her death that the four kings and eight princes who looked like they were in harmony formed a collective group to form a confrontation with the newly enthroned emperor.
The Jia family even formed a party with the King of Beijing, giving birth to a disobedient heart, which led to the defeat of the family in the future.
The capital Jia clan is divided into two branches: Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion has Jia Zhen and Jia Rong as the elders, and Qin Keqing is the eldest granddaughter-in-law, representing the Jia family's eldest daughter-in-law.
Rongguo Mansion has Jia Yu and Jia Lian as the elders, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are the eldest grandsons and daughters-in-law of the eldest grandchildren, representing the second room of the Jia family.
Qin Keqing "died" and Jia Lian "left", this design is wonderful in the foreshadowing of the later text.
Jiafu raided the house in the future, and Ningguofu ended up in ashes, but Rongguofu was sure that he was rehabilitated after several years of raiding. Only then did Jia Lan have the title of the gold list, and Jia Huan inherited the title.
Second, Qin Keqing and Lin Ruhai "died on the same day".
Jia Lian left because Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and was instructed by Jia's mother to accompany Lin Daiyu back to the south, and properly handle Lin's family affairs, and then bring Lin Daiyu back.
This buries the relationship between Lin Ruhai's death and Qin Keqing's death.
After Qin Keqing's death, the news of Lin Ruhai's death came, and he died on the third day of September.
Only then did the reader know that it was not Jia Lian who left, and Qin Keqing died. But almost a year after he went, Qin Keqing died. There must have been something missing during this period, so I won't mention it.
But it is undeniable that Jia Lian's departure represents the hope of "life" in the second room.
And Lin Daiyu's departure uses Qin Keqing's death to allude to the future of Jiafu's "death".
In the future, it was Lin Daiyu who left, and Jiafu ushered in the end of the raid.
Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu's father and daughter represent the heirloom of poetry and books, and the endless hope of the Jia family to abandon martial arts and follow literature.
But Lin Ruhai died, Lin Daiyu went, and Jiafu completely cut off the hope of heirlooms of poetry and books.
Jiafu "has eyes but doesn't know the true fragrant jade", and if he gave up Lin Daiyu and chose Xue Baochai, he was doomed.
Yes, after Lin Daiyu went, Qin Keqing, as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Jia family, died.
At the political level related to the defeat of the Jia family, it should be noted that the environment at that time was a situation of "double hanging sun and moon shining on the world" in which the emperor and the emperor stood side by side.
Lin Ruhai was appointed by the new emperor to explore flowers and patrol the imperial history of salt.
The Jia family is a meritorious veteran of the Emperor Taishang and the former emperor.
Lin Ruhai's death represents the white-hot struggle between the emperor's new party and the old party to which the Jia family belongs, due to interests and contradictions.
Lin Ruhai died on the third day of the ninth month.
Qin Keqing counted the time and died at the beginning of September.
The third day of the ninth month" is Bai Juyi's "Twilight River Yin", and the background is the dark reality of the "Niu Li Party Dispute" at that time.
Lin Ruhai's death during the day foreshadowed the "day" represented by the Emperor Taishang: the old party.
Qin Keqing's death at night heralded the elimination of the Jia family by the "moon" represented by the emperor: the New Party.
Third, Qin Keqing's death and Wang Xifeng's fall.
Qin Keqing's death also fulfilled Wang Xifeng's scenery and fueled her ambitions. Sow the bitter fruit for the future outcome.
If Jia Lian doesn't go. Wang Xifeng was restrained. It was Jia Lian's absence that indulged her ambition and desire for power.
In particular, Mantou Nunnery tasted the sweetness of being instigated by Jingxu to take over the lawsuit, which is an important foreshadowing of "retribution" in the future.
Wang Xifeng's side gained power and had the heart to suppress Jia Lian.
Jia Lian has been wandering for a year, and he has also laid the evil consequences for the husband and wife.
There are traces of all the aftermath. understands the "alibi" of Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu when Qin Keqing died, and knows the real reason for the defeat of the Jia family and the future ending. As for Wang Xifeng, he wrote it by the way.
The above views are sorted out and inferred from the story clues before the 80th episode of "Dream of Red Mansions".
