Compared with the other twelve hairpins of Jinling, Qin Keqing does not appear much, but she has become one of the most mysterious characters in "Dream of Red Mansions". Despite her ordinary background, this girl who was adopted by an ordinary family has both the beauty of Daiyu and Baochai, showing a graceful and charming demeanor. Her character is also excellent, she acts steadily and has a peaceful temperament, which has won praise from all over the Ning Mansion. Jia's mother regards her as the first proud person among her great-granddaughters-in-law.
However, this perfect woman unfortunately suffered from an "incurable disease" and passed away early. During their illness, You Shi and Jia Zhen talked about Qin Keqing's condition. They said that although they invited a number of doctors to take turns to see the doctor and discussed the best plan, the effect was not obvious. Jia Zhen also pointed out that Qin Keqing frequently changed her clothes during her treatment, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that her condition would be aggravated.
At Jia Jing's birthday banquet, when Wang Xifeng visited Qin Keqing, he found that she had a haggard face and a thin body. Despite being so sick, Qin Keqing still insisted on changing each doctor's clothes. This act has given rise to speculation and speculation. Some people think that this is related to Qin Keqing's condition, such as uterine cancer caused by endometriosis, or the same blood landslide as Sister Feng, or frequent sweating caused by lack of qi and blood.
However, no matter what illness Qin Keqing suffers from and why she needs to change her clothes frequently, this behavior itself has become one of the many mysteries on her. In any case, this perfect woman passed away early, leaving endless questions and speculations behind. Qin Keqing's insistence on sitting up to receive the doctor not only reflects the importance she attaches to etiquette, but also reflects the tenacity and perfectionism in her personality.
In ancient society, women's appearance is one of the "three obedience and four virtues" that women should abide by, and nobles such as Qin Keqing have attracted much attention for their behavior. She knows very well that there must be no negligence in dealing with people, especially in the face of outsiders. When Jia Zhen and his wife took into account her physical condition and planned to exempt her from etiquette, Qin Keqing categorically refused to let people see her sick face, which was not only an insistence on her own image, but also a respect for others.
On the other hand, Qin Keqing had unspeakable troubles deep in his heart. She pursues perfection, treats the affairs of Ningfu meticulously, and manages them in an orderly manner. Soft-spoken, gentle and calm, everything is done to maintain a perfect image. But behind this perfection is her own requirements and pressure. Imperial Physician Zhang once said: "* Milk is a person with a strong heart and a smart heart. This sentence expressed Qin Keqing's heart disease.
Heart disease is the main cause of Qin Keqing's physical problems. And Jiao Da's drunken scolding directly hit her sore spot. There is a saying in the fat criticism: "Jiao Da was drunk and scolded the death of Qin Keqing." The problem between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen, although the author deleted part of the plot, the ambiguous relationship between the two is already clear. For Qin Keqing, whether it is feelings or face, this is a heavy blow.
Based on the above, Qin Keqing's death is the result of a combination of factors. Her emphasis on etiquette, her pursuit of perfectionism, inner pressure, and the "drunken scolding" incident all together constitute her ultimately tragic fate. This relationship, after all, violates the norm and will be criticized and spurned. Qin Keqing has been cautious all her life and carefully maintained her image, but this relationship will ruin everything she has worked so hard to manage. Qin Keqing is deeply saddened by this, which is the first reason.
Secondly, because this relationship involves **, Qin Keqing will be despised and spurned by people because of this. She was deeply ashamed, and this was the second reason.
In the end, Qin Keqing failed to stick to her principles and plunged herself into emotional entanglements, for which she deeply regretted. This is the third reason.
These three reasons pierced her heart like a sword, making her choose to die early. As early as the fifth time when Baoyu was sleepwalking in the fantasy realm, there was a painting in Qin Keqing's judgment, in which a beautiful woman committed suicide by hanging a beam. This implies that Qin Keqing did not die of illness, but chose to commit suicide. Why did she kill herself? It is likely that her heart is like ashes and she has lost hope in life. The root of all this is because of "heart disease".
