However, in order to expand the family power, Mrs. Wang transferred her niece Wang Xifeng, who was almost illiterate, to Guo Rongfu to take charge of the housework. In the first half of the seventh chapter, Cao Xueqin wrote about the harmonious life of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng. That style of writing is very different from Jin Ping Mei, which is straightforward. A Dream of Red Mansions is both subtle and vivid.
The book is about the house where Mrs. Wang was married (that is, the possessions he brought as a dowry when he got married). At Aunt Xue's order, she sent flowers to the ladies and wives. At noon, she sent them to the yard where Wang Xifeng lived. "I went to the first room and saw my little daughter, Xifeng, sitting on the threshold of Xifeng's house (looking at the door). I saw Zhou Rui's family coming and waved him away. Understand that the master is taking a nap? ) ..... I only heard a burst of laughter over there, but it was Jia Lian's voice (so the words "Jia Lian plays Xi Feng" appeared in the reply). At this moment, the door rang, and Pinger came out with a big copper basin and asked Xifeng to scoop water in (Pinger can be present when Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are * * *, and even participate in * * * at the call of his master. This identity is called "the big girl in the room"; Calling for scooping water in shows that both husband and wife should take a proper bath after sexual intercourse and pay great attention to sexual hygiene.
Cao Xueqin wrote "Jia Lian plays Feng" in this way, which caused some critics in Qing Dynasty to criticize that it was writing "in the daytime" and "Yin Ji"; There are also modern and contemporary critics who believe that this is exposing "the erosion of aristocratic family life." In fact, Zhi Yanzhai, who participated in the creation of A Dream of Red Mansions to some extent, said it well. This way of writing adopts the ingenious technique of "Liu Zang Parrot tells the truth", which shows that the book is intended to reflect the daily life of extended families, focusing on portraying characters and writing about personality conflicts and ups and downs between characters, which is by no means comparable to ordinary romance books. From today's perspective, Jia Lian and this moment are integrated in the book. They are not ignorant couples who have no feelings because of their parents' arrangement. They can only be driven by instinct in the dark night, but they can appreciate each other in the light, enjoy sex step by step, and finally both of them can achieve * * *. As such a couple, their "afternoon fun" is nothing to blame.
Generally speaking, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have always used this expression in their sexual life. Ink is economical, but it is considerable. Back to the 23rd time, it was written that the couple appointed managers for the supplementary project of Grand View Garden, and the division of interests was contradictory and the atmosphere became tense. Jia Lian suddenly changed the subject and said ... it was only last night that I wanted to change, and you twisted your hands and feet. "Xi feng laughed, spat Jia Lian and bowed their heads to eat. This further shows that their sexual life is not only normal, but also can consciously change their own patterns and enjoy the fun in sexual life.
In a family of any age and class, a temporary farewell between husband and wife is inevitable. The thirteenth time I wrote: "After Jia Lian sent Daiyu to Yangzhou, Xifeng was really bored. Every night, she just smiles and falls asleep at random. " According to some descriptions in the book, some readers think that Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are not clean. In fact, she and the two younger generations can only say that their feelings are ambiguous at best. She not only strictly rejected Gary's * * *, but also set a deadly trap for her. It can be seen from such a major plot that in the relationship between husband and wife, her loyalty to Jia Lian exceeds that of the other party.
I made it clear for the second time1that "that Jia Lian just left Feng and wanted to find a job" and didn't want to "sleep around". His unfaithfulness to Wang Xifeng and his affair with Miss Deng can also be used in the case of having to divide seats, and he can't resist * * * and "playing wild vegetables"; But that time and Bao Er's family insisted on searching for a birthday, which showed that he was not only vigorous in * * *, but also a great rebellion and vent under the suppression of strong personality. He openly complained to his concubine: "Why should I be a' hag star' in my life?"
After a storm of noise, Jia stepped forward and announced the most enlightened sexual declaration of aristocratic society: "What's the matter! Children are young and greedy cats, so they can't live there. The whole world has played like this since childhood. " But think about it carefully, in human society, among various interest groups and individuals, "important things" should first be said to be economic interests, and political relations are the highest expression in economic interests. The determination of various moral norms is to respect this premise first, so are nobles and civilians. The exception is the pure emotional poetic love beyond the general relationship, such as Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, but they are gods in the sky (Shen Ying waiter and crimson pearl fairy grass), and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach that level.
In the sexual relationship between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, the most serious crisis is the appearance of Second Sister You. This does not mean a marriage crisis, because in a family like Jia, it is normal for a man to have three rooms and four concubines. Wang Xifeng thought that although Jia Lian's "promiscuity" caused a big battle, the pattern of husband and wife should be maintained for a long time. So the old lady joked that Yuanyang was put in the house for Lian Er, so she said easily, "Lian Er doesn't deserve it, so just mix with me and Ping Er, a pair of paper paste." I never thought that Jia Lian hooked up with Second Sister You because of * * *, and after stealing marriage, it developed from sexual relationship to sincere love. Jia Lian felt the tenderness and harmony that could never be obtained from Second Sister You, and from then on, she was indifferent.
The search experience is even worse than what we often say now, that is, "the third party comes in", because Jia She has already rewarded Jia Lian with A Qiu Tong, but a thorn has not been pulled out yet, and another one has been added. In order to pull out these two thorns, the search first made enemies, playing hard to get, trying to kill others and pretend to be good. Although she finally restored their family structure, she lost Jia Lian's love for her forever.
Regarding the fate of Wang Xifeng, the fifth chapter has a hint of "one obedience and two orders". Some researchers pointed out that this means that her husband-wife relationship with Jia Lian has gone through three stages. In the first stage, Jia Lian obeyed her, in the second stage, he gave orders in turn, and in the third stage, he divorced. Unfortunately, we don't know how Cao Xueqin wrote it after the 1980s. We only know from some comments of Zhi Yanzhai that Cao Xueqin's works have plots such as Wang Xifeng being demoted as a servant to sweep snow.
The description of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's husband and wife life in A Dream of Red Mansions is not shy, but clever. It not only provides a vivid picture for the daily life of a standard aristocratic couple at that time, but also reveals the interest friction between clans and the personality conflict between individuals through the change of their relationship. Some of its connotations are beyond the times, which gives contemporary China people useful enlightenment in dealing with and understanding the relationship between husband and wife.
Jia Zhenyou's husband and wife life Although Jia Zhen is an equal with Jia Baoyu and is Jia Zheng's cousin, he has a high position in the Jia family and is the head of the family. Even his ancestor Jia was very polite to him. The second time in A Dream of Red Mansions clearly points out that Ningguo Mansion is superior to Guorong Mansion. Jia Jing, the master of Ningguo Mansion, abandoned his home to burn Dan and smelt mercury in the Taoist temple outside the city, and gave his position to his son Jia Zhen. The general of Wei Lie's way he attacked was just an empty title and didn't have to go to work. Ningguo mansion became his exclusive kingdom of indulgence, and he enjoyed it all day. Even if the whole mansion was turned over, no one dared. Jia Zhen's first wife was You Shi. If Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng of Guo Rongfu are in harmony in sexual life and emotional communication despite various contradictions such as interests and personalities, then Jia Zhenyou and his wife in Ningguo House simply can't see what * * * and love are between them.
Some readers vaguely think that Jia Zhen's You family is quite old, and it seems that it is not much younger than Mrs. Jia. In the TV series A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Zhen's style should particularly highlight his beard, while You's style is Xu Niang's half-aged and blank. This is not correct. In the first eighty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Zhen finally passed the age of 35. In Jia Jia's series, Jia Zhen is the most energetic. Cao Xueqin created a confident, proud, healthy and brave male aristocratic image from the plots of collecting rent, dividing the age, reprimanding sons and nephews, arranging sacrifices and organizing shooting storks.
