Chapter 2: Talking about the Red Chamber
Li Shaohui paralyzed himself with busyness in the days of peace and stability, not giving a chance to breathe from guilt, and after he spent the 45th difficult day, Lin Yue'er came back again.
Lin Yue'er is a busier person, often in the middle of the night to drag the tired body back, after arriving home, just a simple wash, without saying a few words to Li Shaohui, go back to the room to stay up late and work overtime, fight to Li Shaohui's already sleeping dream, and in Li Shaohui's sleepy hazy eyes have already set off to work early.
So Li Shaohui has been at home for so long, and he has only met her three times and said twelve words. This is more like a temporary resting place for Lin Yue'er, and Li Shaohui is naturally just an insignificant passer-by in her life.
However, Li Shaohui also understood the story in the painting from Lin Yue'er's attitude towards the portrait in the living room, and it turned out that it was an unfortunate person who was chasing the good times that had passed.
On this day, when Li Shaohui was looking at the book as usual and feeling sad, Lin Yue'er came back, the same suitcase, the same tiredness, the same beauty, Li Shaohui got up and took the box, Lin Yue'er smiled lightly and expressed her gratitude.
Afterwards, Lin Yue'er went into the bathroom to remove her makeup and wash up, but today she seemed to be in a good mood, she stayed in it for a long time, and at the end she hummed a song.
Li Shaohui's heart was slightly relieved, and he laughed, he was too depressed during this time, and he really needed a cheerful person around him.
After a while, Lin Yue'er came out, and Li Shaohui, who was watching "A Dream of Red Mansions", looked up, and a poem suddenly popped up in his mind: "Two bends seem to be frowning and frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy." β
Lin Yue'er was quite uncomfortable with Li Shaohui's fixed eyes, and after checking up and down to make sure that it was correct, she gave him a threatening look, Li Shaohui was suddenly shocked by the gaffe, smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his head.
"What book are you reading?" Lin Yue'er sat on one end of the sofa and tilted her head and combed her fine black hair.
"It's not a good book, it's just idle and boring to flip through it. β
"Dream of Red Mansions is not a good book, is there a better novel in the world? Or do you think I am short-sighted and don't understand the four famous novels?"
Li Shaohui smiled awkwardly: "It's not like that, the main thing is that there are too few people who read books now, and even if they do, they are all online Xiaobaiwen or successful learning, if someone knows that a big man like me still reads this kind of sentimental and sad novel, he will always be laughed at." β
Lin Yue'er smiled: "Then what you mean is the same as them, not only do they not like to read, but they are also lonely." β
"Huh?" Li Shaohui was surprised, and hurriedly distinguished: "No, no, I didn't mean that." β
"Can you borrow it for me for a few days? I want to see it too, I've heard the name of this book for a long time, but I haven't had time to read it. β
"No problem, but do you have time?" Li Shaohui said and gestured with his eyes to the box lying quietly in the corner of the living room, because according to the custom, at dawn tomorrow morning, this box will accompany Lin Yue'er to embark on a journey again.
"Now that the project is settled, now we just have to wait for the client to come and sign the contract with us, so I can relax for the next few days. Lin Yue'er said and stretched.
After that, Lin Yueer took "Dream of Red Mansions" and gave Li Shaohui a kind smile, and went to the room to appreciate Bao Dai's love. The lonely Li Shaohui suddenly felt bored, he saw that the time was not early, so he entered the second bedroom, felt sad for Xiao Bei for a while, and slept with his heart.
In the next few days, Lin Yue'er went home early every day, no longer worked overtime, just held the book "Dream of Red Mansions" and read it without sleep or food, and sometimes took the time to ask Li Shaohui for advice on what he didn't understand, which made Li Shaohui a little flustered.
After about a few days, Lin Yue'er suddenly felt a little abnormal, and she stayed in the room for a long time and didn't come out. At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Shaohui, who had been staying in the living room, secretly thought that she had not gone out for about five hours since she entered the house at six o'clock after work, so there would be nothing wrong, right? Thinking like this, Li Shaohui knocked on the door to greet her.
Fortunately, there was movement in the room, and Lin Yue'er said in a sullen voice after a long time: "I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable." β
"What's wrong with you? Do you want me to buy you some medicine?"
Lin Yue'er didn't answer, and after a while, when Li Shaohui was about to go back to the room, Lin Yue'er's door rang, and then Li Shaohui saw that the blurred eyes were slightly red, with an indescribable moving sadness.
Li Shaohui was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Has someone bullied you?"
Lin Yue'er didn't answer, but handed the book in her hand to Li Shaohui, who took it blankly, wanting to comfort but didn't know where to start.
"Do you think that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's final ending is really so miserable? Could it be that the sequel ignored the author's intentions and deliberately wrote it like this just to earn people's tears?"
"Huh?" After Li Shaohui's initial surprise, he instantly understood the reason why Lin Yue'er was sad, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yue'er snorted and closed the door.
Li Shaohui smiled bitterly at the door, there are too few people who can be moved like Lin Yue'er now, "Dream of Red Mansions" I have watched it a few times, and I was often moved by Daiyu's burning manuscript when I was a child, but when I grew up, my heart was not satisfied with the original softness, and I would not have set off waves in my heart because of a fictional story, and sometimes I even thought that a famous book would rely on these sensational things to attract attention, and I was really not smart there.
But looking at Lin Yue'er's sad appearance just now, Li Shaohui has quite a feeling, now he is strong and indifferent, as if he has seen through the world, and on the other hand, he is hesitant and depressed, looking for the pastoral home of his soul, but he doesn't know that the true love is at his feet, and the pastoral of his home is also in all the trivial things around him, but he doesn't want to look for it.
The second day was Friday, and Lin Yue'er also had a weekend, so when Li Shaohui came home in the evening, Lin Yue'er was sitting on the sofa holding a book explaining "Dream of Red Mansions", and when she saw Li Shaohui, she beckoned him to sit on the sofa and discuss "Dream of Red Mansions" with great interest.
"What do you think the ending of "Dream of Red Mansions" should look like?"
"The ending, isn't it already written in the book? That is, Daiyu died first, and the two treasures got married, and then Baoyu chose to become a monk when she was named on the gold list, leaving Baochai, who was pregnant, to be widowed alone. β
"No, no, no," Lin Yue'er waved her hand again and again, and said, "You also know, that is the ending of Gao E's sequel, and it does not conform to the original book." β
"Then you'll see what the ending looks like. Li Shaohui was also intrigued.
"Based on my careful reading and research in the past few days, I guess the ending should be like this, first of all, Daiyu's early death is certain, because she is the embodiment of ideals, fiction, and it should be over the moment when the tears are over. Then there is no problem for Baoyu and Baochai to get married, but there should be no children between the two, and Baochai will also die before Baoyu, leaving him alone in the world. β
"Where did you hear that?" Li Shaohui couldn't keep his mouth shut in surprise, because these statements were completely different from his understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions" for more than 20 years.
Lin Yue'er looked at Li Shaohui's suspicious eyes and explained: "Reading the book, we must interpret it from the author's background and the emotional theme of the book, didn't the author of this book Cao Xueqin have a virtuous wife who died? This deceased wife has many similarities with Xue Baochai, so she should be the main source of Xue Baochai's character; Later, Cao Xueqin remarried his cousin, named 'Xiangyun', this should be the prototype of Shi Xiangyun, you see that their names are homophonic. β
Li Shaohui's eyes widened in surprise, with a look of horror, which had completely subverted his understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions", so he stammered: "Although what you said seems to be very reasonable, I can't believe it, because the love-hate entanglement between Bao Daichai and the three of them in the novel, as well as the 'Wood and Stone Romance' and 'Jinyu Romance' are well known, and no one has ever heard that there will be anything about Shi Xiangyun?"
"Historically, we have not been able to read things from the book, and we must have our own reasonable ideas and viewpoints on the basis of careful study, and we should not follow the crowd.
Do you think that in the section of 'Qingxuguan Hitting the Reef', aren't Baoyu and Xiangyun one person and one golden unicorn? Or one big and one small, one male and one female, for which Lin Daiyu also ate the vinegar of the boss? Isn't this an invisible golden and jade relationship?
Just put these aside, Shi Xiangyun is one of the author's favorite characters, and the praise and description of her are almost equal to Xue Lin and the two, for example, one of the most beautiful three scenes in the novel is 'Xiangyun drunk and lying'; and the theme of the novel is the word 'love', which naturally is not only narrow love at all, it includes all kinds of friendship in the world.
For example, like the ending of the novel, when Baochai died, the down-and-out Baoyu was sent back to his hometown, and met his cousin Shi Xiangyun, who was also exiled, and the two depended on each other, struggling to survive in the cannibalistic society, tasting the bitterness of the human world, and finally Xiangyun died of illness, Baoyu saw through the red dust and became a monk, and the two of them can experience the true feelings of mutual suffering in hardship, which is completely different from Lin Daiyu's spiritual love and Xue Baochai's respectful husband and wife, it is the third kind of love, just like the experience of the author Cao Xueqin, and this is what Cao Gong wants to expressγ β
