Audio of this article: What are the sour plots in the dream of the Red Chamber?
The Dream of the Red Chamber is a complete tragedy, and it is clear at the beginning that its main purpose is "the great purpose of romance", and its ending is also "a thousand reds cry, and Wan Yan is sad and sad", so what are the sad and sour plots in the Dream of the Red Chamber?
Most of the daughters in the dream of the Red Chamber are thin-lived people, and everyone's ending is not good, like Daiyu Xiangyun and others, but also orphans whose parents have died, they all live a life under the fence, and their life experiences are heart-wrenching and regrettable.
We will not talk about them today, but about the sorrows and joys of a few little people.
Grandma Liu is a rural village woman, no culture, but a lot of knowledge, after the death of her husband, she lived with her only daughter, but the daughter's family is not rich, there are two children to support, that winter, the family has not been able to open the pot.
As an old man over seventy years old, Grandma Liu was supposed to be blessed at an age, but as a mother, she could not watch her daughter's family freeze to death in the snow and wind, and she had to find a way for them to help them make a living.
Grandma Liu eventually took Ban'er to the Rongguo Mansion, where the father of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, Lady Wang, and her son-in-law, Wang Dog'er, had been to the Wang family in the past, and by virtue of this relationship, Grandma Liu found the door, saying that she was a relative, in fact, she was fighting the autumn wind, that is, to beg for food and pity.
This is an experience that many people who live at the bottom have experienced it. The poor in the family could not open the pot, and the adults would rather be hungry than hungry for the elderly and children in the family, so they had to bow their heads and bend down and bend their knees to ask for someone.
But for Grandma Liu, going to Jia Fu to borrow silver is not an open mouth, she is an old man who has lived for most of her life, and then she is a poor person, and her face and dignity are still a little bit, so she goes to Jia Fu with an empty hand and a shy face to ask for help, and it is difficult for anyone to speak.
Not to mention borrowing money, those janitors in Jia Province alone are already difficult to deal with. About Grandma Liu came forward to ask for a way, and she had to be ready for a long time. Such a scene of buckling the rich door is tearful to people who have had similar experiences.
Equally sad and sad, there is Jia Yun, who is looking for jobs everywhere. This eighteen-year-old young man, in order to let his mother rely on the old age, prepared to come out early to make a living, and used his young shoulders to pick up the burden of the family.
But life is so easy, work is not easy to find, even if it is a department like Rong Guofu, which has a lot of errands, if you can't find the right person and try to use the wrong place, it is only in vain and empty.
Jia Yun went to Rong Guo Mansion a few times, wanting to get something to do from Jia Lian's hands, so that he could earn a few pieces of silver, at least the mother and son would not be hungry, not to ask for relatives and friends, in fact, in that era of cold and thin feelings, no relatives and friends could be relied on.
Sure enough, Jia Yun could not succeed in his job search, and when he wanted to go to his uncle's house to give something on credit to send someone to find a way, he did not expect that the things were not borrowed, and he also suffered a number of falls, which was obviously to see death and not save, his uncle was so, but he could think of others, Jia Yun could only think of another way.
After all, it is a child without a father, the family road is difficult, there is an uncle who is not a person, who can look up to him, who can see the hero? I often think, if it were not for the appearance of the noble ni Er, Jia Yun, who fell to the bottom of the valley, might be difficult to turn over for a moment and a half, right?
But in a person's life, who can guarantee that when he falls down, there will be a turnaround and meet the support of nobles? If so, there may still be a chance to turn over, but if not, but what can be done?
Jia Yun was more fortunate, with Ni Er's charcoal in the snow, fighting for help, life soon had a turnaround, achieved a turnaround, but Qingwen, the beard, will never have the opportunity to turn over.
Qingwen was originally arranged by Jia Mu, ready to wait for Bao Yu to grow up, and put him in the house to summon, to put it bluntly, that is, to be Bao Yu's aunt.
At this point, Jia Mu has long been accurate, Qingwen was born well, her speech is smooth, and the female red needle is proficient, which is very in line with Jia Mu's aesthetic and positioning of Aunt Baoyu.
But this matter, when the time comes, no one can say for sure, especially a chaotic demon king like Baoyu, who has nothing to do, who can guarantee that who will accompany whom will not change for a hundred years? What's more, Jia Mu is only a grandmother, and there is also Madame Wang' mother.
Qingwen's assertive self-harmed her, and Madame Wang's innate guard and disgust for the well-born maid directly ruined the life of the. Even though Qingwen didn't have a servile charm, her mouth was a little poisonous, and her long one was also a little provocative, she hadn't harmed anyone after all.
But in Madame Wang's eyes, there was no convincing, she only believed that Qingwen was a fox spirit, and it was impossible to leave it. Also, if you want to add to your sins, you can't say anything. A powerful housewife who is high above wants to kill an unarmed lowly slave.
Poor Qingwen, from childhood without a father, from the beginning of the understanding is a maid of honor, after serving Grandma Lai, serving Jia Mu, serving Jia Mu and serving Jia Baoyu, she can have such a life encounter, obviously inseparable from her character and ability.
But my honey, his arsenic, such a look and character Jia Mu felt that she was an aunt, and Madame Wang only felt disgusting and sick to her stomach. The girl who regarded Yihongyuan as her home eventually died in a dilapidated house. Before leaving, he was as thin as wood, full of grief and grievance.
Whenever I read the plot of Qingwen's death, I couldn't bear it. This girl seems to live a life higher than the sky, but her life is thinner than paper. It seems that she lives comfortably, but she is still alone and has nothing to rely on. Life is cold, except for Baoyu, no one has given her warmth anymore.
