As one of the Twelve Nobles of Jinling, Xue Baochao could not escape the trickery of fate in the end.
After Jia Yuanchun personally returned to the palace, he organized everyone to make a riddle, and Xue Baochao was different and made a song of seven laws:
"Whoever carries two sleeves of cigarettes in the direction of the court will always have no chance." Xiao Chip does not need to be reported by people, and the five nights are not bothersome and the maid tim. Jiao Shou Dynasty is still twilight, frying the heart day after day. Time must be cherished, and the wind and moon can change. ”
After Reading it, Jia Zheng secretly speculated: "... Little people, who make this statement, feel even more ominous, and they are not eternally blessed people. ”
Jia Zheng's thoughts hint at Xue Baochao's eventual life and destiny.
So, what kind of life did Xue Baochao experience after marrying Bao Yu until his death?
First, from the annotations left by Li Yanzhai, it is speculated that Xue Baochao spent a good time after marrying Baoyu
Xue Baochao's original purpose in entering Beijing was to enter the palace through the draft, and after losing the election, he eventually married Baoyu and lived a life of Qi Meiju and achieved "golden and jade good fortune".
Jia Baoyu is kind in heart and can adapt to the choices that life brings. When Xue Baochao is a man, when the husband and wife get along, they can not only take the opportunity to persuade Baoyu to study and seek fame, but also talk with him, discuss old things, and miss the deceased. This situation has been revealed.
In the twentieth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Shi Xiangyun went to the Rongguo Mansion, and Bao Yu and Bao Chao joked in the house, and after hearing the news, the two went together. Li Yanzhai left a comment here:
Wonderful. When Fan Baoyu and Baochao were idly meeting, it was not Dai Yu who came, that is, Xiang Yun came, which was afraid of leaking the essence of the article. If this is not the case, Then Baoyu will sit still for a long time and forget his feelings, and will be abandoned by Baoqing. There is no way to talk about the old feelings when the latter becomes a couple, what fun.
According to the annotations, the husband and wife often talk about the past in their spare time and reminisce about the beautiful past together.
Second, from Xue Baochao's living habits, it is speculated that Xue Baochao lived a hard life after Jia Fu was raided
After the Zhen family in Jiangnan was raided, Jia Tanchun took advantage of the night to inspect the Grand View Garden and predicted that the Jia family would be raided.
After the Jia family was raided, the family lost its wealth, and there was no economic foundation, Xue Baochao and Baoyu's life would be very hard. Witnessing the end of the family's prosperity, Jia Baoyu, who has a wise root in his heart, will leave the family as a monk, leaving Xue Baochao to face life.
The family is broken, but life goes on.
In feudal society, women could not show their faces, and if they wanted to make a living, the best way was to make needlework and thread to make money. After the fall of Zhen Shiyin's family, he ran to his father-in-law's house, and his wife could only take the yahuan and make needlework every day to earn money to support the family. Xue Baochao had no other livelihood and could only make a living from it.
Making money lines is a skill that Xue Baochao is very good at. During her stay in Daguan garden, after a long night, she would often go to her mother's room to do some needlework. The forty-fifth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber" has a wonderful description of this:
During the day to Jia Mu's wife Wang's province twice, it is inevitable to sit with the color and gossip for half a time, and the sisters in the garden also have to spend time gossiping once, so there is not much idleness during the day, and every night the female red will go to the three more squares to sleep.
For this state of life, Xue Baochao quickly agreed in her heart, because she once told Lin Daiyu that this is a woman's first priority. Lin Daiyu wrote "Five Beauty Yin", and she and Bao Yu had made their views clear before they appreciated it:
Since the ancient road 'a woman without talent is a virtue', it is always based on chastity, and female red is still the second one. The rest of the poems, but a boudoir game, could have been or could not have been. Girls like us don't want the reputation of these talents. (Dream of the Red Chamber, the forty-fifth time)
Third, from the story told by Grandma Liu, it is speculated that Xue Baochao eventually died in the winter and was buried in the snow
Since ancient times, the blessings are incomparable to the misfortunes, the years will never be quiet, xue Baochao lived the life of an ordinary person, or ushered in the end of life, which Liu Grandma had long predicted.
Liu Grandma entered the Rongguo Mansion and told everyone the story of a little girl smoking firewood under the snow, Jia Mu thought that it was passing by guests to smoke firewood for warmth, Liu Grandma denied and explained:
"It's not a guest either, so it's strange to say. Who is the old birthday star? It turned out to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old peugeot girl with a shiny head, wearing a big red jacket and a white silk skirt..." "Dream of the Red Chamber" thirty-ninth time)
Halfway through the story, there was a fire in the horse shed in the south courtyard of Jia Province, and Jia Mu was busy ordering people to go to the fire god to burn incense, and did not let Grandma Liu tell this story again.
The little girl that Grandma Liu said actually alluded to Xue Baochao.
Judging from the age, seventeen or eighteen years old, in line with Xue Baochao's age.
From the appearance point of view, it is extremely iconic, in line with Xue Baochao's reputation of "Yanguan Qunfang".
From the perspective of head shape, the oily head is exactly the same as Xue Baochao. The eighth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Xue Baochao was recuperating in LixiangYuan, Jia Baoyu went to see her, Xue Baochao was doing needlework, and his head was holding a dark oily lu er.
From the point of view of clothing, the big red jacket is the color of Xue Baochao's clothes. When Xue Baochao showed Bao Yu the golden lock, he undressed his coat and revealed that what he was wearing inside was the big red jacket.
The story of snow pumping firewood foreshadows that in the cold winter, Xue Baochao stole firewood outside for warmth. The fire in the Jia Fu horse shed implies that when heating up, a fire was triggered, and Xue Baochao finally died in the sea of fire, and was finally covered with heavy snow, which responded to the sentence of "buried in the snow of the golden nobile".
