Subtitle of this chapter: Complex that Ora is not good for everyone

The historical status and literary value of Mr. Hongji's "A Group of Wives and Concubines" do not need to be repeated by the author. This work depicts the tragic fate www.biquge.info of Song Lian, a female student who has "received education in the new era", voluntarily marries into the orderly feudal family Chen Mansion in the high-walled deep courtyard, and finally goes to a mental breakdown in the open and secret struggle of "a group of wives and concubines", artistically reproducing the terrifying scene of Chinese feudal etiquette devouring human nature. The author tries to use this article to analyze "A Group of Wives and Concubines" from a psychological point of view......"

Chen Zuoqian in the book is a typical man in the period of Chinese feudal society. As a man, he has money, power (he undoubtedly has supreme power at home), women, and children's desires ......"

"As long as you understand the life of Mr. Hongji, you can understand that this character is clearly an artistic representation of his father. Mr. Yuan not only has multiple wives and concubines and six children, but like Chen Zuoqian, he also accepted a fourth concubine when he was less than fifty years old......"

"We can find that among the intellectuals of the Republic of China, many people have a bad relationship with their fathers, but are closer to their mothers. For example, (sensitive words here), and also (sensitive words here). And Mr. Yuan Yanqian is one of them......"

For those intellectuals who spurned the old era and embraced the new era, the Oedipus complex naturally arose in the face of their father, a symbol of the old era. And the actions of these characters of the old era deepened the psychological shadow of a new intellectual like Mr. Yuan, so he was able to write a work like "A Group of Wives and Concubines......"

"In this novel, Mr. Chen is not dead, but he has become an absolute oppressor under Mr. Yuan, and he has led to the tragedy of the women in the book. In this sense, the father, who is the head of the family, has died without dying......"

"A Group of Wives and Concubines" was written at the end of 1920, around the time of Mr. Yuan's father's concubine. And when it was published in the magazine "New Youth" in February 1921, Mr. Yuan was so angry that he almost published a newspaper to break off the father-son relationship with him......"

-- Excerpt from "The Oedipus Complex in a Group of Wives and Concubines"

Our Master Yuan was so angry by those two letters that he didn't sleep all night, of course, not because of any father-killing complex, but because of the complex that he hadn't opened for a long time. He pinched his fingers and counted the days, and oops, it was almost a month again. No wonder I have chest tightness and shortness of breath and irritability, it turns out that my menstrual cycle has arrived.

However, he now has an 18-point physique, and he can go to bed without going to bed, and without sleeping. So I took a short break and started picking up customers in good spirits early the next morning.

"Miss Pulitzer, and Louie, here you are. Please come in, please come in, what kind of gifts do you bring? You're so kind. ”

"Helen, John. You've come just in time, Louie, they're short of a partner. ”

"Gentlemen, here you are. Xiangzi, these few are handed over to you, you have to teach Baohui. ”

"Ladies, don't feel free to make this your home. Let me introduce you to Mr. Lu, he is your Mahjong teacher. ”

"Xiao Yang, do you want to be a teacher too? How could I joke with you? Now it's three tables, and you can work hard as a waiter first. ”

If you want to talk about this mahjong restaurant...... Well, the "literary salon" is actually not big. Master Yuan asked people to move out the billiard table and other miscellaneous furniture in the game room, and then put four mahjong tables in it.

As a gentleman of quality, he also had the walls of this room plastered with soundproofing and a thick carpet on the floor, so as not to disturb his neighbors.

He also hired a cook and a waiter to serve food and drinks. It's certainly not good food and good drinks. Mahjong players, stuttering can fill their stomachs, and it is not necessarily necessary to get drunk to play cards, and it is enough to get some soft drinks and coffee strong tea.

And the guests he invited today are basically NYU students, after all, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, the road has to be walked step by step, and the promotion of mahjong also has to be tabled.

Yuan Yanqian saw that people were almost here, so she naturally wanted to go up and make a speech on this occasion to promote the quintessence of our three thousand years of Seris.

He walked to the middle of the room in high spirits and confidently raised his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy today......

“GANG…… HU！ Mr. Luo, this is a big hand, isn't it? ”

"Oh, Mr. Baldwin. Clear the single hanging plus the bar on the flower, your card is really big! ”

"Hahaha, give money to money!"

"John, there's a mistake. It's not this JIU WAN, it's this JIU TONG. ”

"Okay, Helen, you change it, I don't HU anymore."

“JIU TONG……”

"Wait, I'm HU!"

"John, you see how good Louie is......"

Our Master Yuan realized that Mahjong's charm was much higher than his poor 15 charms, and no one even listened to his speech as a great orator.

At this moment, another guest came to visit. So he went out to pick up the customer.

"Uncle Luo Shi, why are you here? I didn't notify the juniors, I came out to wait for the driver. ”

"Hongchuan, you are too polite, what is a big drive, we are our own people. I heard Zhenren say that you have set up a mahjong salon to promote the quintessence of China, and of course I want to visit it as a foreign affairs officer of the Republic of China. Of course, I still have some things to discuss with you. ”

"Is that so......

Hearing this, Yuan Yanqian's heart moved, and she understood why the other party came. He first took the first secretary of the consulate in New York to walk around the card room, and the diplomat sat down to play a game with great interest, and then the two came to the living room to talk about "business."

"Hong Gradual, what do you say Uncle Wei said about you?" Luo Jiaxiang, who was sitting on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said with a helpless and a little ridiculous expression on his face, "Don't look at it as an uncle who is ten years older than you, but I can understand that young men and women talk about love." But you're ......"

He didn't know how to express it, so he had to sigh and say, "Hey, Minister Gu and Minister Shi both asked me about you." Well, now, even the Xiangshan Gong and Xinhui Gong in China have sent a telegram to me! ”

Lao Tzu actually shocked so many big people because he talked about a free love, he really deserves to be a master of neoclassical liberalism.

The diplomat leaned in and whispered, "Don't you know, the second son of Xiangshan Gong, Miss Tang's fiancé, has arrived in London and will come to New York to find you soon." ”

The Master of Free Love smiled wryly and asked, "Why did he come to me?" Duel? ”

"Hahaha, you really like to joke." Uncle Luo Shi smiled, "He came to you in the hope that you would go to France and renew your relationship with Miss Tang!" He would rather destroy the marriage contract than let Miss Tang really become a nun. ”

Damn, everyone is forced to marry, and she is an inexplicable stranger when she is forced to marry...... Or a lover of personality.

"This ......" Yuan Yanqian really felt a little embarrassed this time.

It's not that he has a fear of marriage, if he really has a suitable partner, then he will be married. It's good to be happy with each other, but it's also true that it's plain.

But feelings are really delicate. Ms. Tang didn't quite fit his eyes in the first place, but now as soon as this incident came out, he felt strange in his heart, as if he was forced to go to Liangshan.

For the same thing, there is a big difference between voluntary and forced.

He loves Miss Ainuka more than Ms. Tang. But the little dragon girl was mixed with the First International and the Third International. Master Yuan came through to shout for US imperialism, not for anarchism, let alone for communism to fight for his life. So he really didn't have the courage to engage with an anarchist or communist female fighter for life.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Luo Jiaxiang say with a smile: "Hong Yan, your opportunity has come, now it depends on whether you can grasp it or not, and let the opportunity become marriage." ”

My chance? Or what kind of marriage? How did this come about?

He asked suspiciously, "Uncle Shi, how do you say this?" ”

"Boom, here's how it ......"

Ms. Tang is so good that the youngest daughter of a former prime minister actually went to the convent to be a sister-in-law, which made Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun, two big diplomats, worry about not eating well and sleeping well.

But even so, Minister Gu's marriage still has to be done. His newlywed wife Huang Huilan really deserves this name, and after the rich daughter of Hui Zhilanxin learned about this, she rolled her eyes and saw a relative next to her, and immediately had a good idea. If her arrangement can be successful, it will definitely be the best of both worlds. So even Gu Weijun and Shi Zhaoji thought it was very good, so they sent a telegram to inform New York to make arrangements.

And the idea is......

"Wait, Uncle Shi. Minister Gu wants to introduce some of his noble relatives to me? ”

"His aunt and mother-in-law, Miss Wei Mingzhu. Oh, and his aunt and mother-in-law are his sister of Lao Taishui. ”

"I see. But, but, but, but ......"

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Wei is only twenty-three years old. You're not familiar with the South Seas, so you don't know. Do you know that Ms. Wei Mingniang, the old Taishui of Minister Gu, was known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Java" back then, so her sister is naturally also a beautiful woman in the South Seas. ”

Because of Yuan Yanqian's articles, Gu Weijun really admired him. And "Wang Zhou, Jiang Zhangmei, not as good as a little Yuan in Jiangdong", Xiao Yuan is indeed good-looking, and he is still a student in the United States. Although it cannot be said that he must have a bright future, he is always an outstanding young man.

Speaking of the family background of the old Yuan family, of course, it is not as good as former Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi and "my friend Xu Zhimo", but it really can't be said to be bad, the proper "1%" of the Republic of China is good. In fact, Gu Weijun's background is not as good as him at all, and Lao Gu has been married twice, and he can marry the daughter of the richest man in Nanyang with an oil bottle, let alone him?

To put it bluntly, in any way, our Master Yuan is indeed a contemporary diamond...... Well, the fifth king of krypton.

I heard Luo Jiaxiang continue: "Hongji, people also see that you are innocent, good-looking, talented, and a PhD student at NYU. That's why I'm willing to come to New York to meet you. You're going to have to take advantage of it. ”

It's a coincidence. Gu Weijun's mother-in-law, the "No. 1 Beauty in Java", married Huang Zhonghan when she was 15 years old. However, Wei Mingniang was ashamed that she only gave birth to two daughters for her husband: Cong Lan and Hui Lan. Since Huang Zhonghan took a concubine, Wei Mingniang's relationship with him has become increasingly estranged, and she is fond of Buddhism.

This time her daughter got married in London, she simply took the opportunity to leave London with Huang Huilan and left Huang Zhonghan forever. (Author's note: historical facts)

And when she came out, she brought her little sister, Miss Wei Mingzhu. (Author's note: This is not the case historically.) ）

So if Miss Wei and Master Yuan can do good things and harmonize, they will naturally dispel Miss Tang's ridiculous thoughts, won't this be the best of both worlds?

It can really be said that there is a fate to meet thousands of miles, but there is no reason to shake WeChat.

Lao Tzu seized this opportunity, didn't he want to be Gu Weijun's aunt and father-in-law, and also became the brother-in-law of Huang Zhonghan, the richest man in Nanyang...... Then Lao Tzu must turn chance into marriage!

With a look of surprise and joy, he said, "This is really ...... The juniors don't know what to say. ”

Luo Jiaxiang smiled: "Hahaha, then don't talk about it." If this matter can be reconciled, the virtuous nephew will also have to thank Gu Shi and the two ministers. ”

Yuan Yan nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be." Then I have to thank Uncle Luo Shi, what about you? ”

The first-class secretary waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wei is just running an errand to pass a word, what is there to thank?" That's right, Hongji. At that time, Uncle Wei promised to hold a dance party for you to celebrate when you recovered. ”

Master Yuan immediately thanked him: "This is too much, and the younger generation can't afford it." ”

"What's not to blame? Honggradually you are unjustly imprisoned, and I am a diplomat of the Republic of China, and I should stand up for you! Luo Jiaxiang sighed for a while and said, "Now the New York Chinese community is just going to hold a fundraising dinner. And Minister Gu's envoy Baoyu will also arrive in New York next month, which is naturally a little grander. I don't think these three things should be done together, right? ”

"What do you think?"

Yuan Yanqian shook his head and said: "This is a state matter, how can the younger generation be qualified to put a beak?" ”

"Isn't it a matter of saying that you want to be a diplomat with your qualifications and talents?" Uncle Luo slapped his face and said, "Okay, then I'll report to London." ”

After saying this "business", the two drank a few sips of coffee and talked about another business.

Master Yuan put down the coffee cup and asked, "Uncle Shi, what do you think of this salon run by the juniors?" ”

People won't slap him in the face and say that this is a free mahjong parlor, so he nodded and said: "Very good, very good, promoting my Chinese quintessence and extraterritorial, this is a righteous act." Hongji, you have a heart. ”

Yuan Yanqian perked up when she heard this, and said: "Uncle Shi, in this case, does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China also want to support such a 'righteous act' as a younger generation?" ”

Luo Jiaxiang seemed to have an understanding and said: "Hong Yan, what do you mean ......?"

Our Master Yuan said calmly: "Uncle Shi, we can use this to apply for a fund from above." Of course...... You know. ”

The first secretary of the Consulate General in New York laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Hong Gradual, Hong Gradual, you are really a ...... Wonderful! ”

………………

I'm sorry, fellow patients. Murong made a mistake again. Mr. Su Tong is a man, Mr. Su Tong is a man, Mr. Su Tong is a man. It's important, so say it three times. There's no excuse for that, it's just that I'm misremembering.

Also, Murong got the number of chapters wrong. This chapter should be one hundred and ninety-one. But the chapter name can't be changed, so I have to make a mistake.

Finally, I don't recommend running naked next week, so I ask the patients to vote for a reward to comfort me!
