A Dream of Red Mansions

Shichun painted a picture, so why did she take a year's vacation?

"Dream of the Red Chamber" Liu Lou Lou Lou into the Grand View Garden, because she exclaimed that the Grand View Garden is like a picture of the year, so Jia Mother was overjoyed, and then gave Shichun arranged a difficult task, which is to paint the garden according to the model. So she gave her the difficult task of painting the garden according to the model, which is why she had to take a vacation from her poetry club to paint it, and there is an episode that is really interesting and worth looking into.

In the 42nd chapter of the book, Shichun had to take a year's vacation because of the painting, and there was a lot of discussion among the people, and Li danwei took the lead in voicing her opinion: "I gave her a month, and she thinks it's too little, so what do you guys say." Li danwei is Jiafu famous "Bodhisattva", to people and things are to soft and smooth response, so she gave Shichun a month's vacation is certainly fully in line with the requirements of painting, but Shichun is too short leave, not enough to use, open is to ask for a whole year's leave, in the Li danwei given time indicators multiplied by a twelve.

The time required by Xichun far exceeds the time required for painting, so why did she take such a long vacation? In fact, a detailed analysis, it is not difficult to understand, the reason is very simple, Xichun spring nature of isolation, she did not like with the sisters together to run a poetry club, and even less like with the crowd of poetry, the specific reasons can be found in the thirty-seventh round of the "Autumn Shuangzhai occasional knot Begonia Society".

Li danwei said: "seven of us started the society, I and the second girl, the fourth girl can not compose poetry, we have to let the three of us to go ...... So we have to push me to be the president, I am a president is naturally not enough, it is necessary to invite two vice-presidents, so please Lingzhou (Yingchun), Lotus-root Pavilion (Xichun) two pedants to come, one out of the question limit rhyme, a transcription supervisor."

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun and other women talented, naturally, is the poetry club participants, Li dandy as the president of the Begonia Poetry Club, is responsible for hosting and judging, Yingchun to come out of the question, the only Shichun is responsible for the supervision of the examination, in fact, in full view of the poem, there is no need to supervise the examination, just Li dandy afraid of Shichun a person next to the boredom, and hard to plug her an errand only.

So Shichun's position in the poetry club is very awkward, she did not want to join this so-called poetry club, but did not want to show it, so once JiaMu arranged for the character of the painting, she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take more time off, and refused to re-enter the poetry club. Therefore, when Shichun proposed a year's vacation, everyone thought it was because Shichun was young and her painting skills were still shallow, so she needed more time to paint, but ignored Shichun's true thoughts deep down, except for the sharp-tongued Lin Daiyu, who saw through Shichun's small mind at a glance, and made a joke to tease Shichun.

Everyone can slow down the word "slowly" in the last words of Daiyu by 0.5 times to read, and then you can understand where the punchline lies. It is also because of Lin Daiyu's words, so that everyone understands the real heart of Shichun, but the pure and simple daughters did not reveal Shichun, in their hearts, Shichun's situation began to have some understanding, and therefore chose to understand Shichun, not only to Shichun fixed a year's vacation, the people also teamed up in the front of the mother of the Jia mother for Shichun excused.
