The first gossip in the red chamber
Then let's read A Dream of Red Mansions from the first time. The first time was: Zhen was a psychic in a dream and had a beautiful family. The opening is actually an introduction to this book, and this book can be said to be an introduction to the whole book. This leads to the whole story we are going to learn. The author also explained the intention of writing this book.
After experiencing some dreams, the author concealed the truth and wrote The Story of the Stone with psychic theory. In other words, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, the author hid those real stories and wrote a "Stone Story" with the myths and legends of psychic Baoyu to warn future generations. On the one hand, I wrote a story about my life of nothing and nothing for half a life to warn the world. On the other hand, it is necessary to tell this story in Jia Yucun's words to commemorate those women whose behavior and knowledge are higher than men's needs, and to show that this book only describes some feelings between women, not a book that scolds the world when they are hurt. Similar to what we often see, "This story is pure fiction. If there are any similarities, it is purely coincidental. "
The opening words "Ladies and gentlemen, where do you think this book came from?" Speaking of the root cause, although it is ridiculous, it is quite interesting to press it carefully. "At the beginning, the author is absurd, and for seemingly absurd reasons, he leads to a masterpiece of realism. So, what is the reason for absurdity?
Originally, in The goddess patching the sky, 36,506,5438+0 pieces of hard stones with a height of 65,438+02 feet and a square of 24 feet were made on the barren cliffs of the big barren hills, but only 36,500 pieces were used to fill the sky, leaving only one piece useless and abandoned under the green ridge peak of this mountain. Green stems are also homophonic, which means that the roots of love are deep. Who knew that this stone was spiritually enlightened after exercise? Because all the stones make up the sky, it is difficult to be chosen, so I feel sorry for myself and feel sad day and night. The original name of this book is The Story of the Stone, so it tells the origin of this stone at the beginning. It turns out that he has an extraordinary history, but unfortunately he has no talent for mending the sky. It was abandoned under the green ridge peak of this ridiculous cliff.
Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly saw a monk coming from afar. He was born with extraordinary spirit and different gods. The monk came to the side of the big stone, sat down to rest and talked about what they saw and heard in the secular world. After listening to all kinds of mortals, this stone was moved. He said he could take me to the world to experience it, so this man turned this big stone into a bright and beautiful jade the size of a fan pendant, which can be worn. The monk said: the body is a treasure, but it has no real benefits. It needs to be engraved a few more words so that people can know it is a strange thing at first sight. This stone should be Baoyu's perennial psychic Baoyu. The monk also said that after I turn you into a treasure that everyone will know at a glance, I will take you to prosperous times, the home of poetry and rites, the land of flowers and willows, the land of tenderness and wealth, settle down and work in peace. Si Tong was certainly glad to hear the monk tell him this, so he asked what words to write and where to write. The monk smiled and said, "You and Mo Wen will naturally understand in the future." . Then he floated away with the stone and the Taoist priest, and I don't know where he went.
I don't know how many lifetimes have passed since. One day, an empty Taoist priest walked under Gengqingfeng of this big barren mountain. Suddenly, he saw a big stone with clear handwriting and vivid description. The empty Taoist priest looked at it from the beginning. It turns out that the stone that has no material to fill the sky and entered the WTO in an illusory form is a mysterious reality, that is, the monk who took it into the world of mortals and experienced joys and sorrows.
This stone tells his story in the world of mortals. At the end of the story, there is a poem written by Ji Zi: Nothing can fill the sky, but it will be wasted for several years in the world of mortals. This department has fallen behind. Who will remember to make a strange biography? Among them, it describes the hometown where this stone fell and was reborn, and personally experienced a past event.
Jia Baoyu was a waiter in the Red Defect Palace in his previous life, and the stone we just read is a stubborn stone abandoned by Nu Wa Niangniang at the foot of big barren hills, cliffs and green mountains. That is, the later psychic Baoyu has been with Baoyu. But judging from this personal story, it is actually difficult to tell Baoyu from this stone.
The empty Taoist priest read the whole story and saw that there were family boudoir chores, leisure poems and so on. Maybe these can relieve boredom, but they can't verify the age of dynasties and countries. So the Taoist monk told Stone that I'm afraid no one likes reading stories like yours. Si Tong said with a smile, I don't want to surprise the world with this story. If people like and read it, I attach great importance to this book in Dont Ask For Help. I just want to read it when you have nothing to do, just to get rid of boredom and have a change.
After listening to the stone, Taoist Kongjian thought for a long time and revisited the stone again, thinking that this book is not to curse the world when it is hurt. Among them, the main idea of talking about love is just to record it. It's not hypocritical, it's just a coquettish appointment, it's a private comparison, and it doesn't interfere in current affairs. So the empty Taoist copied it back from beginning to end, and the legend came out.
Here, the author has repeatedly emphasized the general love that does not interfere with current affairs. In fact, when many of our readers first started reading A Dream of Red Mansions, they really thought it was just another love novel. But in fact, when we read the whole Dream of Red Mansions and have our own social experience and life experience, we will know that the author wrote more than one word about love. His love is not only romantic love, but also real human feelings.
Taoist Kongkong changed his name to a monk because he copied the book, because he saw the color in the air, felt the emotion from the color, conveyed the emotion to the color, and felt that the color was Wukong. Friends who know A Dream of Red Mansions know that Stone Story is an alias of A Dream of Red Mansions, and Love Monk Record is another alias of him. Confucius changed his name to Love Monk because he saw this stone, and the stone he copied was also renamed Love Monk Record. Later, there was an empty Meixi at the east foot named Yue Feng Baojian. Later, Cao Xueqin spent ten years mourning Hong Xuan, adding and deleting five times, cataloguing them and dividing them into chapters, entitled Twelve Women in Jinling.
We know that A Dream of Red Mansions has many aliases, but now it seems that all the aliases are described in the book, such as The Story of the Stone, Love Monk, Feng Yue Bao Jian and Twelve Women in Jinling. This tortuous experience of writing a book really makes people wonder where this book came from. The name Cao Xueqin appears here, which makes people think that he is not the author, but only the person who compiles the catalogue. Review ten years, add or delete five times, make a catalogue and divide it into chapters. And Cao Xueqin also made a quatrain in the book. This quatrain is written like this, full of absurd words and bitter tears. Dou Yun's author is crazy, who can understand the taste? This absurd story with mythical causes actually contains the author's bitter tears.
The story begins in Gusu City. There is a Shili street in the long portal vein of Gusu City, and there is a Renqing lane on the street. There is an ancient temple in the alley, which is called Hulu Temple because of its narrow place. There lived a township official by the temple, whose surname was Zhen, whose name was Zhen Yinshi. We said it was the introduction of this book for the first time. Although Zhen Yinshi seems to have little to do with the story of our whole book, it is true and false, true and false. What happened to Zhen Yinshi and Zhen Shi family actually hinted at the fate of Baoyu and Jia's family. Although Zhen's family is not rich, he is regarded as a noble family in the local area. He is also a first-class immortal, watching flowers and pruning bamboo, drinking and reciting poems every day. I have no children under my knee, only one daughter, and I am three years old. This winning streak is actually the future Xiangling. At this time, she is still with her parents. Their names are Huan Lianying and Zhen Lianying respectively. This girl's life is really hard and bumpy.
On this day, Zhen Yinshi sat idly in his study. When he was tired, he threw away his books. He fell asleep and dreamed of a place, but he didn't know where it was. Suddenly, he saw a monk in the carriage, walking and talking. At this time, the big stone they were carrying has turned into a beautiful jade, and they are discussing where to go. Monks and Taoists said that there was a crimson pearl grass beside the Sansheng stone on the bank of Xiling River, and sometimes the waiters in Hongxian Palace drank nectar for irrigation every day. This crimson pearl grass began to delay the years. This is an account of the past lives of Daiyu and Baoyu. The word "crimson pearl" is only used to describe the shape and color of blood and tears. This is the past life of Daiyu. Shen Ying, the waiter of Chixia Palace, is Baoyu. Shen Ying waiter's word "Ying" also points out the meaning of jade. The crimson pearl grass is nourished by the essence of heaven and earth and rain, so it must shed the wood of the grass embryo and become a human and female body. All day, I stayed away from the sky of hatred. If I'm hungry, I'll eat honey and green fruit for dinner. If I am thirsty, I will drink several cans of seawater as soup. Because the virtue of irrigation has not been rewarded, there is a lingering meaning in its five hours. As it happens, this waiter named Shen Ying is indifferent to everything, and takes advantage of this prosperous and peaceful world to create a magical destiny. I signed up before the police fairy case, and the police fairy asked the crimson pearl fairy that you have never appreciated the irrigation, so you can take this opportunity to end it. Fairy crimson pearl said that he is the benefit of nectar and jade, and I don't have this water to pay it back. Since he is a human being in the next life, I will go in the next life, but I can repay all his tears in this life. This is the story of Daiyu's tears.
This is still a tearful statement, unprecedented and unprecedented. Here, it clearly explains the wood-stone alliance between Shen Ying waiter and crimson pearl fairy. The monk told the Taoist how many romantic friends they would hook up with when they went, and accompanied them to settle the case. Taoists say that fruits are unheard of, but tears do not exist. I think this group of people, infatuated with lust, virtuous and stupid, are different from previous biographies. Take this opportunity, why don't you and I take off a few pieces in our next life? Isn't this a merit? The monk went on to say, this is exactly what I want. You and I will go to the womb of the police fairy first and send that stupid thing out. This stupid thing refers to a stone that turns into beautiful jade. I won't go until I finish cleaning up these evil spirits in my next life. Just then, they both heard the words of Zhen Yinshi beside them. Although he understood everything, he didn't know what this stupid thing was said by the monk, so he couldn't help running forward and asking: Excuse me, two fairy teachers, but I heard the fairy teacher say that cause and effect were really new, but his disciples were stupid and didn't quite understand what a "stupid thing" was. Can you show me, too? The monk said, you are curious, but if you ask about it, you have seen it once. While speaking, I really gave this jade to Zhen Yinshi to show him. I really took it and saw that it was a bright jade with clear handwriting and the words "psychic Baoyu" engraved on it. This is the psychic Baoyu that Jia Baoyu will wear in the future, and there are a few lines of fine print behind it. Just when he wanted to take a closer look, the monk said that he had reached the dreamland and forced him to take the jade back. Then the monk passed a big stone archway, on which were written four big characters "Fantasy Land". There are two couplets on each side, which read: when you are false, you are true, when you are false, you do nothing.
Zhen wanted to follow him and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a thunderbolt, as if there was a landslide, and he woke up. When I woke up, I actually forgot most of this dream. It happened that the wet nurse hugged and won, so Zhen Yinshi held her daughter to tease her, and took her daughter to the front of the street to watch the passing pedestrians busy. At this time, a monk came from a distance. The monk was lame and unkempt, and the Taoist was walking, talking and laughing. In fact, it is not difficult to see that this monk is the man he saw in his dream, but in fairyland, this monk is a man of sage like type, and at this time they have changed their lines of entering the mortal world. In the past, traveling monks were lame, that is, they had sores on their heads and bare feet, while Taoist priests were lame and unkempt. As a result, when I came to the door of Zhen Yin Shi's house and saw him holding a winning streak, the monk suddenly began to cry. Say: benefactor, what do you want to do with this thing that has no life and involves parents? He said it was bad luck to win in a row, and her parents were also involved. True Yin Shi had ignored him, and the monks chased him and said, Give me up, give me up, which means you don't want your daughter, give her to me and let me take her away. If this is modern, go home and close the door. If it is serious, you will call the police. How can a crazy trafficker ask his parents for children in the street? As soon as you heard it, you knew it was all crazy! That's bullshit! He wants to take his daughter home. Suddenly, the monk pointed at him and laughed. He read four words, "I am spoiled and laugh at you. I am stunned by the snow." After the Lantern Festival, it's time to put out the smoke. "In fact, these four words read the fate of winning in a row, which is Xiangling's future. If you know the author of A Dream of Red Mansions and the readers of Cao Shi's experience, you should know that the decline of the Cao Shi family was before the Lantern Festival, and the author wrote it after the Lantern Festival to avoid those who knew the truth about the Cao Shi family. However, through the Lantern Festival, you will think of whether you are writing about the experience of the Cao Shi family, so the people who said they knew in the side batch deliberately changed from before the Lantern Festival to after the Lantern Festival, in fact, just as before, in order to avoid those insiders! After listening to these four sentences, Zhen Yinshi hesitated and was about to ask a clear question when he heard the Taoist saying, "You and I don't have to go together, so let's break up and go our separate ways." After the three robberies, I'll wait for you in Mangshan. The monk said: the most wonderful, the most wonderful! With that, the monk disappeared. Yin Shi thought, this zhen these two people must have origins, should have asked, now it's too late to regret.
Zhen Yinshi was in a daze when he suddenly saw a poor Confucian scholar living in the gourd temple next door. This man's name is Jia Minghua, his name is Feitian, nicknamed Yucun, and he came out. We know that the names of the characters in the book are mostly homophonic, and Jia Yucun's name, if we look at its homophonic, is Jia Minghua, which is a lie and all lies. Everything is right and wrong when words are flying. Nicknamed Yucun, it is related to his surname Jia Yucun, namely Jia Yucun. This Jia Yucun is from Huzhou. He is also a scholar and an official, but he was born in the last days. His parents and ancestors have exhausted their roots, leaving him alone at home. So he wants to go to Beijing to gain fame and fortune, and then complete the inheritance. When I came the year before last, I ran out of money, so I had to live in this gourd temple and make a living by selling words and compositions. Zhen is a talented person who likes reading, so he has frequent contacts with him.
When I met Jia Yucun, I invited him to go home together. Sitting at home without saying a word, I suddenly reported that Master Yan had come and Zhen had to go out to meet guests. Being familiar with Yucun, he stayed to read and amuse himself. Suddenly, Jia Yucun heard a woman coughing outside the window. Yucun got up and looked out of the window. It turned out that a maid was picking flowers there, and the flowers she picked should have left. As a result, she suddenly looked up and saw someone in the window, so she turned away. I think this kind of life is so magnificent, but it is so broken. I think it should be Jia Yucun, as my master always said. In ancient times, there were men at home. It is customary for all wives to avoid it. Therefore, even if Yucun has a good relationship with Master Zhen, it is not convenient for these girls to see it. It can also be seen here that Zhen Yinshi really takes care of Jia Yucun and often wants to help him, but there is no chance, because scholars are lofty. If you say to give you money directly, it will hurt the self-esteem and integrity of scholars. This zhenyinshi has great respect for scholars. I think I often talk about Jia Yucun at home, so my family actually knows him. As soon as the girl saw Jia Yucun, she thought there were no such poor relatives and friends in my family. I think that must be what the host always said about Jia Yucun. Look at this, Jia Yucun. Although he is in rags, his life is really brilliant. No wonder the host often says that he is not a long-term sleepy person, so she can't help turning her head twice more. In those days, it was impolite for a woman to look back at a strange man like this. Because as we said earlier, all women should avoid men, which is not as important as the costume TV series now. Men and women can still play around, which is impolite in ancient times. It is precisely because this girl turned back twice that Jia Yucun thought that this woman was interested in him. She was ecstatic and thought that this woman must be a hero with big eyes and a confidant in the dust. This girl's name is Jiao Xing, which we will talk about later, so I won't say much here.
In a blink of an eye, it's Mid-Autumn Festival again. Jia Yucun was thinking about his life's ambition, but unfortunately, he was born at a bad time, and his pain met his time, so he sighed and sang a couplet for the sky. "Self-care in front of the wind, who missed the bright moon? When you are bored, you will collect your forehead and go to Renren Building first. " After Yucun recited it, he remembered his poverty and recited a couplet: "Jade asks for a good price in the cupboard, while Chai stays and flies." Here, Jia Yucun actually compares himself to a beautiful jade, hoping that someone can appreciate him. When women stay in coffins, they will fly. When they fly, it is his motto. This sentence means that if you give me a chance, I can soar to the sky, but in fact you have written your own ambition. As it happens, Zhen heard Yin Shi's words, so he smiled and told him that Yu Cun was really ambitious. So I invited Jia Yucun to enjoy the moon and drink with me. At the banquet, Jia Yucun talked about his desire to go to Beijing to catch the exam and become famous. The Zhen Yinshi was going to help him, so after hearing Jia Yucun say so, he ordered the child to seal 50 taels of silver and two sets of winter clothes for Jia Yucun on the spot. What a frank person, but also a quick temper. After receiving Zhen's funding, he went to Beijing that night. Originally, Zhen Yinshi wanted to write him two letters of recommendation. As a result, I asked the little novice monk in Hulu Temple the next morning. Jia Yucun had left, so Zhen had to give up.
Time passed quickly, and the Lantern Festival arrived in the blink of an eye. Zhen ordered his family to watch the social fire lanterns on the Lantern Festival. In the middle of the night, Hodge sat Lien Win on the threshold because he wanted to pee. But who knows, when he came back from urinating, he couldn't find a winning streak. This Hodge looked for himself in the middle of the night, but he couldn't find anyone. He was afraid to go home to see his master, so he fled to another country. The name Hotch is also a homonym, which is the curse of "Xiao Qiang". It was here that Lian Ying disappeared, and later Xiangling was born, which we will talk about later. When Zhen and his wife saw that their daughter didn't come home all night and their family was nowhere to be found, they knew something must have happened, so they quickly sent more people to look for her, but they couldn't find her at all, just like disappearing. I still remember the sentence "After the Lantern Festival, it is time for the smoke to go out." Really? As soon as the Lantern Festival was confirmed, the winning streak disappeared.
It's a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Zhen Shi have only one daughter in their whole lives. After losing their daughter, they miss their only daughter every day, cry day and night, and almost never try to die. The couple are ill and ask the doctor to see them every day. Helpless, it never rains but it pours. On March 15 this year, those sacrifices were bombed in Hulu Temple. As a result, the monks were careless and the window paper was burned by oil torches. People in this place mostly use bamboo as hedges, which is also doomed. The fire burned a street like a burning mountain. At that time, although there were soldiers and civilians fighting the fire, the fire became a potential and could not be saved at all. The fire burned all night before it gradually went out. I don't know how many houses were burned. Poor Zhen's house is next door to Hulu Temple, which has been burned to ruins. As we said just now, truth is false and fallacy is true. What happened to the Zhen family hinted at the fate of the Jia family. Neighbors in this street suffered together, and their homes were burned to ruins. Just like what happened to the Jia family, just like what happened to the Zhen family today, several large families with intertwined interests, one glory and one loss, are also tied together one by one, and it is difficult to save them if they fall down for a while.
Zhen's daughter lost her home and was burned down, so she had to discuss with her wife to settle in the grange. However, it rains all night. Paranoia in recent years, floods and droughts have failed, thieves have emerged one after another, and people are in trouble, so I have to sell the grange and take my wife and two maids to his wife's husband. Her husband's name is Su Feng. Yes, this is another homophonic custom. Although his husband's family is a farmer, his family is fairly rich. It's just that this ban has always been a force. He was a little dissatisfied when he saw his son-in-law coming in such a mess. Probably, the customs here are mostly such snobs.
Fortunately, Zhen Yinshi still had some money, so he asked Zhang Yue to help him buy some houses to make a living. Who knows that the half-coaxed man gave him some barren land and rotten houses, but he was greedy for the money. This Zhen is just a scholar. He is not used to doing farm work and growing crops. After barely supporting for a year or two, his life will become more and more difficult. Every time his husband meets, he is just sarcastic, but others say he is lazy. Zhen is a man in his twilight years. He knows that he can't vote for others, and he regrets it. On this day, he walked to the front of the street on crutches, and suddenly a lame Taoist came. He murmured, "Everyone knows that immortals are good, but their fame and fortune are unforgettable." Where will the past and present be? A pile of grass is missing. Everyone knows that immortals are good, only gold and silver can't be forgotten. In the end, they only hate gathering, but when their eyes are closed for a long time, the whole world knows that immortals are good, but only their wives can't forget them. Your husband said his good things on his birthday, and his husband died with others. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but children and grandchildren can't forget them. There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times. Who has seen filial piety for children and grandchildren? . . . "
The whole book A Dream of Red Mansions is full of fatalism. But isn't the so-called fate the inevitable law of life?
Zhen Yinshi stepped forward and asked, what are you talking about? I only heard some good news. The Taoist replied with a smile: If you really hear the words "good" and "good", you still understand. We can see that everything in the world is good, good is good, and bad is good. If not, that's not good. If you want to be good, you must be good. My song is called "Good Song". Zhen is a clever man. When he heard this, he realized it. So he smiled and said, How about I write down your good songs? Taoist also said with a smile, you know, you know. Zhen Yin Shi said, "A humble room is empty. In those days, there were beds and withered grass and withered young trees everywhere. This used to be a ballroom. " . Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green yarn is now attached to the awning window. Why do you say that fat is thick and pink, and how can your temples turn into frost? Yesterday, the white bones were buried in the dragon head of loess, and tonight, Yuanyang is lying in a red tent. A box of gold, a box of silver, everyone is slandering beggars. I am lamenting that his life is not long, but I don't know that I will be a strong beam in the future. Chose the cream beam, who wants to live in Yan Huaxiang. The gauze cap was locked up and taken away because it was too small. Yesterday, I felt sorry for the cold coat, but now I think the purple python skin is too long. It's so noisy. It's ridiculous that you think other places are my hometown after you sing me. In the end, they all make wedding dresses for others.
Hearing this, the Taoist priest clapped his hands and smiled: chop, chop. Yin Shi said, let's go. So he followed the Taoist priest and never came home. Life has experienced many ups and downs, and the originally stable life suddenly turned upside down. My daughter also disappeared and my home was burned down. Have to rely on relatives and be looked down upon by others. You don't know what fate will give you at the next intersection! How many people spend a lot of calculations for power, wealth and fame, but in the end they just put on wedding dresses for other girls.
Besides, Shi Feng, Zhen Yinshi's wife, cried her eyes out after hearing this letter, but where can I find the truth? There is no news I am looking for everywhere, so I have no choice but to take my two old maids and do some needlework day and night, relying on my parents to make a living.
On this day, Zhen's girl bought a thread in front of the door, and suddenly heard the sound of drinking in the street saying that the new grandfather had arrived and the new official took office, and even walking in the street was silent and evasive. I followed the maid to see the big sedan chair holding a sign, wearing a black hat and a new red robe. He went to open a certificate and felt that the official was familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he didn't take it to heart when he got home. I didn't expect to hear a knock at the door when I was resting at night. Many people made a fuss and said that our uncle sent someone to ask questions. Hearing this, Su Feng was dumbfounded and didn't know what had happened.
If you want to know what will happen next time, let's talk about it next time.
