The mystery of Xue Baochai's shameful cage red musk deer string of red mansions
As mentioned in the previous lecture, Jia Yuanchun gave the Dragon Boat Festival gifts, and consciously let Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai

Very thin, but very high-quality textiles; And then there's Fleur - someone blurted out when they heard it
Out said: Second collar. No, it's a collar. It is a kind of mat woven with bamboo silk, a high-grade mat, above
There is a pattern of turnip flowers, why is it a collar? Because it is used by two people, there is no meaning in this
This? There is meaning. And the most meaningful of these kinds of festivals is the red musk string, which can be simplified
Called the red musk deer skewers, this is a very important prop specially designed by the author.
The musk deer is a cervid, but neither male nor female musk deer have horns on their heads, there are
This animal is called the fragrant roe deer, why? The male musk deer has a gland in its hind abdomen
The body secretes a thing, and this thing is called musk. The musk deer is becoming more and more precious as it is
They are scarce and live mainly in Tibet and Tibetan areas bordering Tibet, such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Later, some places such as Gansu and even Inner Mongolia also existed in this animal. The use of musk in the past
It's very cruel, first to hunt the male musk deer, and after killing, dig out this sachet from its belly
Musk is obtained. You think, a musk grows to adulthood, it has only one sachet, only one musk,
So in the end, this musk is worth more than gold. Later, I tried to breed musk deer in captivity, and
And the method of taking musk has been improved, so that male musk deer can continue to secrete and produce again after the first harvest
Raw musk, and then to take it, is a little better than the past method, but the musk taken out later, the quality is one
It's not as good as taking it out for the first time. Now scientific research has completely figured out the chemistry of musk
ingredients, so there is artificial musk, which is made by synthetic methods with the same chemical composition as it
Or something like that. Musk is very rare, and it also has two characteristics, one is very fragrant,
It has a strong fragrance and a strange fragrance; Second, it has medicinal value, the aroma can be enlightened, and musk can be used in medicine
Cure many diseases. So, musk is a very precious thing. Mix some more with musk and some others
Materials, especially with red dyes, to make red musk deer strings, it has become very expensive, non-
Often a peculiar kind of counting beads. What is counting beads? It is a string of beads, generally composed of eighteen beads
Yes; People who believe in Buddhism usually wear it on their wrists, hold it in their hands when chanting Buddha, and chant "Amitabha."
Buddha", twist a bead, twist in a loop, twist is equal to counting, accumulating a large number,
In order to express the devotion to the gods and Buddhas, it is called counting beads. The word counting beads is positive in "Dream of Red Mansions".

At the end of the twenty-eighth episode, the attacker reported to Jia Baoyu, and she said, "You are the same treasure."
The girl's is the same. Miss Lin and the second, third, and fourth girls only have fans and beads.
Everyone else is gone. There are also "red fan" friends who discussed with me, saying that Lin Daiyu and they are less than the same, no
That phoenix-tailed Luo, there is no water rong, but isn't Lin Daiyu also got the red musk deer skewers? Because she doesn't
Is there a number of beads? But judging from the description in the book, it doesn't look like it, because the attacker reported to Jia Baoyu
said that Daiyu and Ying, Tan, and Xi got the number of beads, and the number of beads Jia Mu also got it, Mrs. Wang and Jia
Zheng and Aunt Xue got it all. Counting beads is a general term for the items worn on the wrist, and the materials used to make counting beads are very
Jade, jade, agate, pearl and sandalwood can be made into several beads, but red musk strings
It is a very special number of beads. A friend who collects antiques told me that he had seen a lot of Qing dynasty ones
Counting beads, but never seen a red musk string of beads, he thinks, this may be only in Cao Xueqin
Something virtual in the artistic imagination. Judging from the description in the early part of the book, the red musk deer string should only be Xue Baochai
And Jia Baoyu has. Because the second half of the twenty-eighth chapter is called "Xue Baochai is ashamed of the red musk deer."
Skewers", it would not be unusual if everyone had red musk deer skewers, so it highlights that Xue Baochai has. She has
What about later? Didn't put it aside and didn't wear it - Jia Baoyu didn't wear it, Jia Baoyu did, but Jia Bao
The jade is not worn, and Jia Baoyu didn't even pick it up and take a closer look after he had it-Xue Baochai took it
put it on, put it on, and it was not very comfortable in her heart, she was "ashamed of the cage". As the text is perused, these places
Fangdu is intriguing and worth pondering.
In the past, there was a saying about the marriage of young men and women, that is, there was an old man under the moon who tied red silk to two people
line, so this couple became a couple. The red musk string is similar to the red silk thread, which has the same metaphorical meaning
This is the meaning of matchmaking and accomplishing good deeds, so Jia Yuanchun expressed one by awarding the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony
is both clear and implicit, that is, to marry Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai. It shows that the red musk deer strings are clearly there
The information pointed out above, because she did not have a clear edict, she wanted to "point to the end" and let the family
The elders to fulfill her wishes. Jia Yuanchun was in the palace at the time, obviously not being able to participate in the draft
In this matter, the emperor did not designate you to participate in the draft, so you cannot interfere in the court without authorization
politics, so Xue Baochai can't be selected, she can only be anxious on the side. But about the draft results

She should get the news quickly, for example, from the eunuch Xia Shouzhong, she can get an accurate letter
Xi, say that your cousin was defeated, there is no way, since there is no way, it will be counted. What's more, she's back
When Rongguo Mansion was provincial, he cried with his grandmother and mother and said that the palace was a place where "no one can go."
place", and said to his father: "The house of Insha, although it is salt and cloth, can finally tell the joy of family; Although rich now
It's extremely expensive, all parties are flesh and blood, but there is no fun in the end! So she felt that through this awarding of the Dragon Boat Festival
Boxing ceremony, to give Xue Baochai a comfort, and at the same time she sent a letter to Xue Baochai herself and the entire family
Xi, it's just that this cousin is so good, since she wasn't selected in the draft, it doesn't matter, she can still marry
My beloved brother Baoyu is his wife, and such a result may be more "meaningful" than being elected to the palace
Fun". Therefore, in her bestowal ceremony, red musk deer strings were specially arranged to strengthen her intention to marry
Toward.
In Rongguo Mansion, the core issue in family politics is Jia Baoyu's marriage. albeit
Jia Yuanchun's intentions are self-evident, and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are also happy to accept the "golden and soil marriage", but
What is Jia's mother's attitude? Whether Jia's mother supports the "golden and jade marriage" or maintains the "wood and stone marriage".
This is a very acute problem faced by Jiafu. "Dream of Red Mansions" twenty-ninth top ten
Hui, Cao Xueqin wrote "Enjoy the blessings of the blessed people and pray for blessings", but if we read "Dream of Red Mansions" carefully
called, you will find that the initiator of Qingxuguan Jiao is actually not Jia Mu, and its purpose is not for enjoyment
The blessed people further prayed for happiness. What is clear about "enjoying the blessings of those who are blessed and praying for blessings"? Jia Yuan
Chun's instructions on Qingxuguan Jiao are very clear, and Jia Yuanchun's intention to give a festival gift is also very clear, but
There is a person in the house who pretends to be stupid, who is it, it is Jia Mu. Don't underestimate Jia Mu
People, although she is old, she is very capable, and ten Wang Xifeng tied together can't beat her one, in
In terms of family politics, Jia's mother's level is absolutely first-class. Some people will say that there is also family politics in politics
Treatment? Politics, in the final analysis, is the distribution of power and interests, and the state and society have this problem.
There is also this problem in the family. To whom will the power and wealth of Rongguo Mansion belong in the future? Baoyu is Jia Zheng's
The first heir, needless to say, if Baoyu marries Baochai as his wife, then the Wang sisters will be compared
It is easy to control the Rongguo Mansion, and their sisters and even the Wang family can get benefits in the Rongguo Mansion, but
-19-
If Baoyu marries Daiyu as his wife, the situation will be very different. So, what is Jia Mu fighting?
What's the idea? You see that Jia Mu had a very strange performance in the twenty-ninth episode, first of all, to Jia Yuanchun to clear the void
Watching Jiao's instructions, she carried out a complete subversion. Jia Yuanchun provided a special provision for Jiao
With the funds, she asked Eunuch Xia to send one hundred and twenty taels of silver, which was earmarked for Qingxuguan Jiao.
Please note that the money came from the Yuan Concubine Niangniang, not from Rongguofu, not from Jia's mother. Jiao asked
What is the question, the concubine has a clear indication of hatred, it is to fight Ping'an Jiao, Ping'an Jiao is a kind of prayer for death
It is a sect in which the souls of the dead and the dead can be peaceful in the underworld, and do not run to the yang world to interfere with the purpose of the living
Teach rituals. As for Jia Mu, although she took over the task of beating Jiao, she changed its theme and put it
Praying for peace for the dead and the dead has been changed to "pray for the blessings of the blessed and the blessed" for the living. Yuanchun pair ginseng
There are also special instructions for the people who beat Jiao, which is to ask Jia Zhen to take the gentlemen in the two mansions to burn incense and kneel to the Buddha.
But Jia Mu ignored that, she called on the daughters of Rongguo Mansion to come out of the nest and turned this matter into her
A carnival centered on itself. Originally, this Jiao should have Jia Zhen as the main body, and it was all the masters
A large-scale event, as a result, Jia Zhen became a peripheral logistical support figure, except
Baoyu, all of you are on the sidelines. Do you think this Jia Mu is powerful? And I've already said it earlier
Before, what is the focus of Jiao? It's the third day of the fifth month, did Jia's mother go on the third day of the new year? She's not there
In the first day of May, Jia's mother went for a day, and then she didn't go. Because Baoyu and Daiyu are awkward,
She cares about this matter, she cares about the emotions of these two, she said that this is called "not a family reunion."
head", unless she swallows this breath, she can't see, she can't care, otherwise as long as she lives, she wants
In the end, she was busy dealing with it. Mother Jia understands that the only way to let Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu is in
In her lifetime, the control of Jiafu was in the hands of her and those she trusted, because I was in front
The narration has already told you that from the perspective of the prototype, Lin Daiyu's bloodline is the closest to Jia's mother
, and Baoyu, theoretically, is the grandson of her sweetheart, but in fact, Jia Zheng is
followed, so Baoyu and Daiyu got married, and they didn't even have the disadvantage that close relatives might have stupid children when they got married
Yes With such a union, she is full of people she trusts the most, and it is a perfect marriage, and
She had long seen that the two sisters of the Wang family had hidden evil intentions under the flattery and meekness they had on the surface, and they always wanted to get it
More long-term control of Jia Province. So among them, you see, there they ate and drank and gossip,
-20-
In the book, it is often written who is "laughing and laughing" -- these three words in "Dream of Red Mansions" appear too much
Too much - that laughter, if you think about it, is often not funny, but the warmth of an aristocratic family
Inside the veil of the vein, it is a manifestation of mutual intrigue.
In the book, it is written that the void is clear, and there is a stroke that is particularly important, and you must be careful, that is, you are clearing the void
On the eve of watching Jiao, Mrs. Wang took leave, saying that she was not feeling well and would not go. Cao Xueqin from the beginning of the novel
Write that Mrs. Wang is obedient in front of Jia's mother, and in such a society at that time, the daughter-in-law serves her mother-in-law
A responsibility that must not be shirked, you have to hold on to it even if you are sick, there are many such descriptions in the book, including
Writing Qin Keqing, she is so sick that she has to go to Jia Zhen and You Shi every day to settle the province in the morning and dusk, although
Then you said, you are sick, you don't come, she still struggled to comply with the fulfillment
The kind of etiquette between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law. It is also written in the novel that Mrs. Wang can only wait for Jia's mother to rest
I dared to take the time to rest, and I didn't forget to ask the girl to ask Jia Mu at any time if she woke up from a nap, as soon as she heard about it
Wake up, hurry over and do your best. However, this is such an important activity of purifying the void and watching Jiao,
Mrs. Wang took leave and did not go. said that he was uncomfortable, and secondly, he was still waiting for the concubine in the palace
If you can send someone, you have to receive it. This is very out of line, as abnormal as Xue Baochai's gaffe. But
Mother Jia didn't let her go, please pay attention to what Mother Jia ordered. Didn't your Mrs. Wang take leave? second
There is such an explanation in the nineteenth time: Mother Jia told Xue Baochai that Aunt Xue must go, and sent someone to go
specially invited Aunt Xue. "Tell Mrs. Wang that I want to take their sisters to go shopping." What is it
Meaning? It is to give Mrs. Wang another last chance. Of course, Mrs. Wang still didn't go. You're not going?
Okay, it's good that your sister went. In the lecture about Lin Daiyu, I have analyzed with you,
When it came to Qingxuguan, what Mother Jia said to Daoist Zhang was actually for Aunt Xue, that is, let
Aunt Xue went to tell Mrs. Wang when she returned to Rongguo Mansion. These words show that in Jia Baoyu's marriage
In things, no one should interfere, Jia Yuanchun is no exception, and in her heart, although she is not no
likes Xue Baochai, but in the matter of who Jia Baoyu marries, she does not support the "golden and jade marriage."
Yuan", her balance is absolutely tilted towards the "wood and stone marriage", and she only needs to "wood and stone marriage".
There is still one breath left, and it is necessary to escort it to the end. So, now you should know more about why Xue Baochai is
-21-
I'm depressed. It is said that the concubine in the palace wearing a yellow robe has expressed it so clearly
An intention is to promote the "golden and jade marriage", her mother and Mrs. Wang must be overjoyed, but
It was the ancestor Jia Mu who was still alive, but she remained silent. After all, your concubine is just an intention, and you just pass
The Boxing Rite is given in the same share, and especially with red musk strings, to express a will, but you don't
Ming said, if you really have an edict, then my mother Jia can't do anything, but since you haven't issued an edict, I
It's just when you don't have that meaning. This is so interesting to write, so you can't read "Dream of Red Mansions".
These flavors don't work. For a smart woman like Xue Baochai, the red bestowed by the concubine
Of course, she knows the special meaning of the musk skewers, which is the composition of "gold and jade marriage", too
After losing the draft, she was the greatest consolation and the greatest guarantee of future happiness. But she put that red though
The musk skewer is worn on the wrist. But it is a kind of "shame cage" attitude, why is she "ashamed"? Inside the book
wrote that Xue Baochai was depressed in her heart - she was very disappointed that she was disappointed by the failure of the draft, although she had Yuanchun's An
Comfort and marriage, her emotions cannot be changed immediately. But what about Xue Baochai? We all know that
She is a person who worships the concubine, and she guides her behavior according to the basic norms of feudal etiquette
People, since Jia Yuanchun gave the gift of red musk deer, the red musk deer skewer is used to wear it on the wrist, so
She thought about it, and she didn't wear it disrespectfully, so she still put it on, although she didn't feel happy when she put it on
fast, so she is "shy cage". What is a "shame cage"? It is to put it on the wrist and pinch it in the hand
Part of it, half-concealed in such a way. At this time, she saw Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu together,
I felt very uncomfortable, and there was a stroke in the book that read: "Xue Baochai mentioned it to Mrs. Wang and others because of her mother in the past."
The golden lock is given by a monk, and only those who have jade can get married in the future, so there is always a treasure far away

The attendant can't be done, at this juncture, Concubine Yuan expressed her willingness to assign her to Baoyu, this
It should be the best place in life except for the draft list, and she should be very pleased. can
Yes, Baochai is a dignified and reserved person after all, and losing the draft is a very big setback to her self-esteem

Hair"? That is to say, I already felt bored, and another one was boring, which is called more and more boring. clause
-22-
One is not interesting, that is, she originally thought that Dai Yu's might also be the emperor, at least the prince, herself
The conditions are so good, if you go there to participate in the draft, it should be radiant and glamorous, but the result is biased
Missed, interesting or not? Boring. So at this time, Yuan Chun came to express his intention to marry,
Although it is indeed to give comfort, it has become pity for her, which is equivalent to saying that Yuanchun is looking for her
Supplement, that is to say, since this is the case, you should marry my brother. When Baoyu went to visit her in Lixiangyuan,
The two men exchanged ornaments - Baoyu is a psychic jade, she is a golden lock - and compared the jade and the lock
On the chiseled words, the Ying'er on the side couldn't help but say that they were "a couple", and said that there were leper monks

times", I didn't fall in love with Baoyu, but later I had more intimate contact with Baoyu, and of course I was emotional
It's average, but she can see that Baoyu loves Daiyu, so she doesn't have the idea or act of taking people's love
Law. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lost the draft, Yuan Chun immediately came to ask for marriage, and her mother and her aunt put her
pushed to the cusp, not only made her suspected of snatching Daiyu's love, but also made her have to surpass the ancestor
Zong Jiamu's huge obstacle, so in this case, she felt more and more bored.
This is also her complex psychological state when she is ashamed of the red musk deer. Although Xue Baochai is "ashamed of the cage", Jia Baoyu
But the eyes are sharp, and when he touches her, he sees it at a glance, so it constitutes the second half of the twenty-eighth chapter
of the plot.
Actually, Jia Baoyu himself got the red musk deer skewers, and it is said that after getting the red musk deer skewers, he
You should be very happy, even if you don't want to wear it, you can always pick it up and take a closer look and smell it, right? But he didn't even do
I didn't do anything like this, and I heard the attacker report to him, saying that he had taken back the share given to him from Jia's mother's house
Including the gift of red musk deer, what is his mind full of? He was anxious to ask the attacker, and Sister Lin got it
What, I heard that Sister Lin got less gifts than him, so he immediately asked the girl to take all the money he had gotten
The west, including the red musk deer skewers, were all carried to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and let Sister Lin pick them. Sister Lin's character, you can forgive me
And I know, all of them are returned, saying that I have it too, don't want it. Everyone called it to recall, in Sister Lin
After his father's funeral in Suzhou, when he returned to the capital, he saw him and offered a string of beads to Lin Dai
-23-
Jade, that is, the tungsten beads, the same as the red musk musk strings, are very in the information about antiques
It is difficult to find, but it is likely that it is Cao Xueqin's artistic imagination, in order to portray the characters and deepen the content of the work
ingenious writing. That time, Lin Daiyu didn't think so at all, he said: This is from the emperor
Target! Lin Daiyu said contemptuously: "What stinky man has worn it!" "Throw but don't take. She's really seeing
The royal is dung, she doesn't want the "stinky woman" to wear it, can she have it?
This is Lin Daiyu. The girl had to take all the things back to Yihong Courtyard, and after getting them back,
Baoyu probably didn't even glance at it, and he was full of thoughts about this at that time, and he was not happy
Sister Lin got the same as me, but Sister Bao got the same as me? Because of this, Po
Jade he obviously has this red musk deer string, he didn't pick it up and look at it, and happened to see Xue Baochai wearing it.
After all, he is still a man who has transitioned from a teenager to a young man, and in the face of the youth Lishu hand cage red musk deer, he
It was difficult to suppress his love for beauty, so he wanted to see it, especially the "shame cage" posture that Baochai took at that time, half
Half-concealed, which made him even more curious, he asked Sister Bao to take it off her wrist and show him. Xue Baochai at this time
Hou had to reluctantly fade down to show him, but she was relatively plump, not a bone beauty, a red musk deer
The string is made of eighteen beads, and it is the first time it is worn, so it must be relatively tight, so it is easy to fade off. Then
Waiting, Cao Xueqin wrote about Jia Baoyu's sexual psychology, and Baoyu felt that Xue Baochai's snow-white arms were very tempting
people, so they thought, "If this arm grows on Sister Lin's body, or it has to be touched, it will be born."
Grow on him. This is very reasonable, which means that Jia Baoyu is a healthy man.
He has a normal sexual psychology and a metaphysical need for love, but he has moral control over himself
system, which shows that he actually only loves Lin Daiyu, and he has a thing of self-restraint. Xue Baochai one
Look, I've faded down, why don't you pick it up, why are you stunned, so you lost the string of beads. So
In the novel, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai each threw a string of beads, and Lin Daiyu threw a string of beads with Xue Baochai
is different, Xue Baochai lost a red fragrant musk string, and the two bead strings brought two characters to life, which is really meaningful
Think.
Next, I wrote that Lin Daiyu happened to come over, and there was a lot of psychological collision between the three of them
and friction, I won't go into details. In short, Xue Baochai was in the period before the Dragon Boat Festival, really
-24-
It's very tormenting. Lin Daiyu said that "the wind, swords, frost and swords are strictly pressing", in fact, a woman like Xue Baochai, she is also
can't really control her own fate, she also has a very sad side, you think about it for her
Think, at that time, how many kinds of unhappiness gathered in front of her eyes, Xue Baochai was there
In such a situation, she has to sort out her thoughts, what should she do? Everyone should think for her, too
Thinking about it, what should she do, the draft failed, Concubine Yuan expressed her intention to marry, but Mother Jia didn't answer Concubine Yuan's finger
Marriage ball, her mother is very anxious, Mrs. Wang is also secretly anxious, the situation has developed to this
For the sake of her, what should she do? Cao Xueqin wrote very smartly, and after the big waves, he let again
This wave gradually calmed down, because one is relaxed, the way of civil and martial arts, and the same is true for writing novels
After a climax, you're going to have ups and downs, you're going to have different peaks, and then you're going to have a trough.
and then push to another set of plots to form a new climax. Cao Xueqin is very skillful in mastering his pen
The plot flows, he writes something explicitly, and at the same time secretly writes a lot of things. In this place must be
I need to point out to you that he used a lot of pen to write about the emotional entanglements of Baoyu, Daiyu, and Baochai

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu reading "West Chamber" together under the peach blossom tree is certainly very moving, but also very big
The gallant love behavior, as for the "crazy daughter to send Pa to provoke lovesickness", it is a higher level. He writes about Little Red

This? I hope you put such emotional entanglements between Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in one

Nineteen back to the fortieth chapter, of course, Cao Xueqin also wrote a lot of other things before and after,
The writing is intricate and complex, and the embroidered patterns are not simple, but full of flowers. place
When we read, we must know how to read the "subtext" below its "explicit text", or
It's called reading the "dark writing" after its "clear writing". After he wrote about Xue Baochai's gaffe, it was gradually
Gradually implicitly writing Xue Baochai's self-adjustment, we should pay attention to such words.
First of all, Xue Baochai was more deeply aware that in Jiafu, the internal affairs of the family, said
In the end, it is Jia's mother who has the final say, so she must continue to envelop Jia's mother. She knew how to please Jia's mother very early,
Soon after the beginning of the novel, it was written that she had her first birthday in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia's mother contributed twenty taels and said that she would give it to her
Birthday. Some readers misunderstood, saying that Jia Mu must have taken a fancy to Xue Baochai, but she hadn't heard of Lin Daiyu
On her birthday, Jia's mother contributed it! But Cao Xueqin was afraid that you would misunderstand, so he wrote Wang Xifeng's funny words, Wang
What did Xifeng say? "Baba took out the rotten twenty taels of silver to be the host,...... This one
Wine, is it a joke? In fact, Mother Jia was nothing more than polite, because Aunt Xue took Xue Bao with her at that time
They lived in Rongguo Mansion, and soon after, they were very close relatives, Baochai, the daughter
Well, she looks good and has a good personality, she celebrated her birthday at her aunt's house for the first time, and her ancestors donated twenty taels of silver
Sub means meaning. Cao Xueqin told us through Wang Xifeng's joke that twenty taels is a small meaning
Think, is it enough wine? Or is it enough to play? Got it? So you can't think that there are some such plots in the book,
It proves that Jia Mu seems to have a higher valuation and opinion of Xue Baochai than Lin Daiyu. It is not enough to say,
Can't explain. Xue Baochai herself is very well-behaved, and Jia's mother asked her what she wanted to eat? What drama do you want to hear? she
I know that elderly people like Jia Mu eat food, love to eat sweet and rotten things, and like to listen to lively dramas when watching dramas
Wen, so she said it according to what Jia's mother liked. When Jia Mu heard this, she was too sensible and very happy
Huan, very happy. But through the later Qingxuguan Jiao incident, Xue Baochai understood, Jia Mu
