In the work "Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing is undoubtedly one of the most puzzling characters. Although her work is not very long, her influence is on a par with the other eleven golden hairpins. There is even a "Qin Studies" that specializes in the study of Qin Keqing in the red academic circles. Regarding Qin Keqing's origin, cause of death and personal feelings, these are the main questions that readers may not know much about.
Whether there was an incident of "climbing ashes" between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen, I personally think this is already a sure thing. In the annotations of the Yan Zhai, the episodes of the "hairpin" and the "change of clothes" are mentioned, and they are mentioned at the end of the thirteenth chapter of the Jingzang version.
Qin Keqing's obscene funeral Tianxianglou" sentence is described by the author with historical brushstrokes. Therefore, I wrote this time with the intention of exposing and lashing out at the destruction of her by feudal forces. Because of the soul, the old man entrusted two things to Sister Feng and the Jia family, which is not what An Fu Honor expects? Although this was not implemented, the meaning it conveyed is deeply sad and admirable. Therefore, he pardoned Qinxi and ordered him to delete the words "hairpin" and "change clothes", resulting in only ten pages this time, and the section of Tianxianglou was also deleted, reducing four or five pages.
This paragraph reveals conclusive evidence of the improper relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen. After Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen ignored the gaze of the people around her, and began to "feel like losing her mother" (in fact, at the time of Jia Jing's death, Jia Zhen and the You sisters were still close, even closer than her daughter-in-law), she said bitterly that she would give everything for Qin Keqing's funeral, and cried loudly in the long room, claiming that she had disappeared without a trace, which is very different from the feelings of a normal father-in-law for his daughter-in-law?
So, why did Jia Zhen occupy this daughter-in-law?
In fact, I personally feel that the intimate relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing is not forcible possession, but based on the emotions and desires of both parties, which are determined by several key factors.
About Jia Zhen's situation: In the second episode, Leng Zixing mentioned Jia Jing, the heir of Ning Guofu, when telling the story of Jiafu. Because Jia Jing had a strong interest in cultivating immortals, he gave up his family business early and went to the Taoist temple to play with the Taoist priests. Jia Zhen indulged himself without the restraint of his father, and the book describes how he was so happy that even the people of Ning Guofu did not dare to interfere with him? How did he play all of this? At home, gambling, heavy drinking, and child abuse are the norm, but of course, interacting with women is also an indispensable form of entertainment, just like the You sisters, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong find it a lot of fun.
People like Jia Zhen, even the one who is called the "dumb overlord", understand that he is used to showing his charm in women. When he met the personable and amorous Qin Keqing, how could he not feel envious? What's more, he is still a great talent, and he is quite famous in the love field! Considering Jia Zhen's domineering character, what is her daughter-in-law.
Therefore, when Jia Zhen has feelings for Qin Keqing, the society does not exert any pressure on him, which can be seen from his behavior at Qin Keqing's funeral.
What about Qin Keqing's situation?
Regarding Qin Keqing's background, many people think that she has an extraordinary social status, and even think that she is the daughter of the abolished prince, which is equivalent to a princess-level figure. However, Weiyingjun had reservations about this, thinking that if Qin Keqing was guilty, how could Jia Fu be willing to take the risk of hiding her? How does Jia Zhen have the guts to show a princess her malice? Therefore, as described in the book, Qin Keqing is just an ordinary ** raised daughter, and because of her outstanding appearance and a certain connection between the Qin family and the Jia family, she was able to marry the Jia family.
Qin Keqing's birth background makes her status in the Jia family limited, and Jia Zhen enjoys a very high status in the Jia family and even the entire family. Power has an irresistible charm for women, and Qin Keqing is not only attracted to power, but also may be attracted to it.
Moreover, Jia Zhen is only forty years old now, and forty years old is not too old. Judging from Jia Rong's appearance, Jia Zhen's beauty will definitely not be inferior. In a big family like the Jia family, under the gorgeous costumes, Jia Zhen is undoubtedly a middle-aged man with outstanding temperament. For the personable Qin Keqing, her charm is really just right.
And the most core part is the task that Qin Keqing undertakes. Qin Keqing is the sister of the police illusion fairy in the too illusory realm, she was the first person to love, and she was responsible for managing the amorous monthly debt. This time, she came to this world because she was instructed by the Vigilant Illusion Fairy Gu, so that all the hairpins entered the Illusory Realm early.
In order for all the hairpins to return to their places as soon as possible, we must ensure that the morality of Jiafu is degraded, destroy the ivory tower where they live, and allow them to return to the illusion of the void in perfect condition after the worldly disasters.
Qin Keqing, a woman with style and moon appearance, used the word "lewdness" to describe Jiafu. "Lewdness" here refers not only to the excessive indulgence of **, but also to the pursuit of luxury and indulgence. This can be seen from Qin Keqing's room decoration, and Qin Keqing's high-level funeral is a foreshadowing of the decline of Jiafu.
Of course, in addition to their own factors, they were able to succeed** also because others set certain conditions.
You Shi is Jia Zhen's spouse, she was born in an ordinary family and had no children in her life. Since she lacks enough confidence in Jia Zhen, she always obeys Jia Zhen. Even knowing that Jia Zhen's husband and her sister were together, You Shi turned a blind eye to Jia Zhen. Even the mother-in-law and maid of Rongguo Mansion noticed You Shi's weakness, so they didn't give her much respect. Such a You family makes Jia Zhen's behavior even more cranky, and there is no pressure on her daughter-in-law's ** behavior at all.
Jia Rong is Jia Zhen's child and Qin Keqing's spouse. Although Jia Rong is the grandson of the head of the Ning Mansion and is Jia Zhen's only son, due to the early death of her mother, she has almost no fatherly love, but instead has an indescribable fear of Jia Zhen. During the ceremony of Qingxuguan Jiao, Jia Zhen saw her son enjoying the shade on the side, and in order to show a strict father's attitude in front of the servants, she ordered the servants to spit on her son's face.
Obviously, Jia Rong is not a kind person. She was influenced by her father's behavior from an early age, and gradually learned the style of a gentleman of an aristocratic child. In retrospect, due to her own lack of correct values, coupled with her fear of Jia Zhen's obscenity, Jia Rong seemed to be indifferent to Qin Keqing's disloyalty.
Therefore, the secret love affair between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing was not caused by a single reason, but was affected by multiple factors.
