Qin Keqing, the eldest daughter-in-law of Ningfu. A beautiful and romantic woman. I came from a humble background, my fate was so bad, and I died young, which makes people feel sorry.

Because of Qin Keqing's pivotal position in A Dream of Red Mansions, the topics surrounding her are always complicated and inconclusive.

Today, despite her many questions and excuses. Take Qin Keqing's impression as an example, stripping off delicate clothes and trying to see her little-known other side.

Qin Keqing's appearance: "Bright and moving, like Baochai, charming and lovely, like Daiyu. Good customs look like the moon. " Her nickname is "Kerr" and her name is "Beauty".

Daiyu and Baochai have taken one of them to absolute beauty, and Qin Keqing has both the beauty of Daiyu, so its beauty is undoubtedly the first of the twelve women.

About who she is. Grandmother Jia praised, "Graceful, gentle and peaceful."

From other descriptions in the book, we can see that she is very popular in Rong Ning Palace. She was not only praised by Jia Mu, the highest spiritual leader of Jia Fu, but also close friends with Wang Xifeng, the chief housekeeper of Jia Fu.

As a daughter-in-law, she has an unspeakable intimate relationship with her father-in-law Jia Zhen. As for the relationship with Jia Rong and his wife, Qin Keqing once said to Wang Xifeng, "Although your nephew is young, he respects me. I respect him and never blush. "

After Qin Keqing's death, her father-in-law Jia Zhen not only arranged his funeral, but also used the "wooden coffin" originally intended for Prince Zhong Yi, which has a history of thousands of years. This is an unusual treatment. The whole funeral was personally organized by the big housekeeper Wang Xifeng, and the Jia family was very busy, showing its grandeur.

It can be seen that the popularity of Jia family is really popular. Father-in-law hurts, mother-in-law loves, husband and wife live in harmony, and sister-in-law has a harmonious relationship.

However, in the big dye vat of Jiafu, there is one person who is too perfect to be doubted. Qin Keqing won unanimous praise for his virtue. But to say that all this boils down to this point, it still needs to be scrutinized.

In Jia's family, there is a sharp contrast between her birth and the treatment she received. She is an orphan brought by a junior official of Yangshengtang, and she comes from a humble background. This is very unusual in the Jia family, which pays attention to family rights and has a strict hierarchical concept. Even if she is beautiful, she will not completely break the inherent barriers under the feudal hierarchy because of this. If so, Qingwen, who is also excellent in appearance, has no such treatment at all. Although one is the master and the other is the servant. Qingwen can't compare with Qin Keqing in appearance and social life, but at least she should be kind. But the fact is that Qingwen only got Baoyu's care and protection, and others only gave her ruthless destruction and denunciation.

It is unreasonable that a woman of humble origin can live so comfortably in Jia's house just by virtue of her beauty. As far as virtue is concerned, Li Wan, who is much higher than her background, is also good, but Li Wan is obviously not as popular as Qin Keqing.

As we all know, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng are close friends. Between them, apart from the intimacy between lovers and soul mates like Bao Dai, it is difficult to find a second pair. Regardless of the same sex and opposite sex, this is extraordinary in itself.

Who is Wang Xifeng? She is the most shrewd, calculating, ruthless, arrogant and snobbish person. People of ordinary birth and status can't hit her at all. But she happened to have a close relationship with Qin Keqing from humble origins. Even if Xifeng's friendship doesn't depend entirely on her background, it seems that they are not the same person at ordinary times. The so-called Tao is different, no common goal. Xifeng relies more on her calculating, eloquent, smart and tough style to maintain her position in the Jia family. This is completely different from Qin Keqing's style. However, just like this, two people with different styles are close and appreciate each other. Isn't that weird?

This unusual contrast makes people want to further explore what kind of person Qin Keqing is, and is her habitual impression a bit superficial?

After reading the positive description of Qin Keqing, we can understand Qin Keqing from the side.

We know that Cao Gong's meticulous brushwork can never be vague and casual.

Let's see what Qin Keqing's mother-in-law, You Shi, said when she was sick in Qin Keqing.

"... although the daughter-in-law sees people talking and laughing, she is cautious. No matter what she hears, she wants to spend three days and five nights. This disease is due to hard work ... ".

After reading this passage, I obviously feel that under the surface of generosity, the real Qin Keqing is a strong, sensitive, suspicious and narrow-minded person. Even worse than Daiyu.

Of course, You Shi's judgment on the cause of Qin Keqing may not be accurate. But no matter what the reason, as a mother-in-law who gets along with her day and night, it should be very convincing to make such an evaluation of her daughter-in-law.

Because Qin Keqing only appeared a few times, she didn't say much positive words, which we can see from her own profile.

After Qin Keqing died, he had a dream for Wang Xifeng.

"Qin Dao: Aunt, you are a hero in the pink team, even a man with a belt can't pass you. How come you don't even know two common sayings? As the saying goes,' when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow', and there is also a saying that' he who climbs high falls hard'. Today, our family has flourished for a hundred years. If one day is extremely sad, if it should be the phrase' the tree falls apart', then it is not a family of poets and calligraphers for life! "I heard that, the peak is full of awe and awe. "It's really worrying, but how can we be safe forever?" Qin sneer at a way, "aunt is so stupid. No matter how hard it is, how can human resources be guaranteed from ancient times to the present? But now you can plan your future career in glory, and you can always be safe and secure. In other words, if everything is fine today, only two things are bad. If this is done, it will be guaranteed forever the next day. " Feng asked what it was. Qin said, "Although my ancestors offered sacrifices at four o'clock, they just didn't have a certain amount of money and food. Secondly, although home schools have been established, there is no certain supply. Personally, there is no shortage of sacrificial offerings in today's prosperous times, but they will decline in the future. Where did these two things come from? In my opinion, taking advantage of today's wealth, Mo Ruo will set up several acres of grange courtyard near his ancestral home in order to prepare sacrificial supplies. All the expenses will come from here, and the home school will also be located here. Everyone in the contractor has made a rule that he will be in charge of this year's land, money, food, sacrifices and offerings according to the house. There is no competition in this way, and there are no disadvantages in sales. Even if you are guilty, you can enter the official. This sacrificial industry does not even enter the official. It was defeated, and the descendants went home to study and farm, and there were setbacks. The sacrifice was sustainable. It is not a long-term solution to think that today's glory is endless without thinking about the future. I saw another very happy thing in a few days. It's really a fire, bloom. You know, it was just a moment of prosperity and joy. Don't forget the proverb "The feast must end". At this time, if you don't worry earlier, you will regret it. " Xifeng asked quickly, "What's the happy event?" Qin said, "This matter must not be revealed. It's just that I had a fight with my aunt. I'll give you two words when I leave. You must remember. " "After the third spring, all the ladies were exhausted, so they had to find their own doors.

As the saying goes: "people are dying, and words are still in their ears." More importantly, Qin Keqing, who has become a sweet soul at the moment, must be sincere when facing her ex-girlfriend.

After reading this passage, I can't help but feel lost. Is this still the gentle, kind and immune Qin Keqing I remember? She not only accurately predicted that Jia's "Hongmen Banquet" was about to end ... The tree fell apart ... "Strategically. Moreover, in coping with strategies and tactics, Wang Xifeng was specially taught how to prepare for the posterior road in advance. Warned the king that "he who climbs high falls hard ...".

This shows that Qin Keqing has a very hidden talent and meticulous scheming. Even the specific methods of how Wang Xifeng should collect money and seek a way out are clearly told. Visible Qin Keqing is not only shrewd, but also full of scheming. And probably this pair of girlfriends have discussed similar topics about Jia's family more than once before. Therefore, only when the dream is held, it is justified and explained.

Of course, this arrangement of Tsao Gong actually paved the way for the development of the plot and the fate of the characters. It is for the overall development of the novel. But after all, through the comparison of the details, I still see a different image of A Qin Ke Qingshi.

We can't help asking, why did Qin Keqing leave such a different impression on us?

It seems that Qin Keqing, who always leaves us with a gentle, smooth and glamorous image, may actually be a talented, scheming and more strategic man.

Her gentleness, meekness, and flattery are all for keeping a low profile and being far-sighted.

We can explore a clue from some details.

She once told Xifeng

"... the disease can't be cured! ……"

When Mr. Zhang made it clear that the disease could be cured, and Qin was not terminally ill at this time, why was he so pessimistic because of his always strong personality? Where does the theory that life is hopeless come from?

This life can probably be seen from the two points of "human calculation" and "natural calculation"-

First, people count.

We know that Qin Keqing's verdict is:

Good at amorous feelings, grasping the appearance of the moon,

Is the root of failure.

Everything is respected,

The death of a family is the first sin.

It's always because of love ...

Qin Keqing's affair is flawed and criticized. Although the ambiguous relationship between her and Jia Zhen disappeared in the author's later revision, Zhi Yanzhai's comments and reminders, as well as many doubts and some unusual connections before and after, can still make us believe that there is an ambiguous relationship between them.

Mr. Zhang said that when he was a doctor, he would recover as long as he survived the next winter. Qin Keqing will not only live to the next winter, but also live to the vernal equinox. This shows that Qin Keqing's illness is basically cured. Or the disease itself is not the root cause of death. She survived the damn winter, but not the damn vernal equinox, which shows that her death is sudden and unpredictable. This also confirms the accuracy of the possible "legacy hairpin" ..................................................................................................................................... ............................... fully explained that Qin Keqing didn't die of illness, but was forced by her father-in-law Jia Zhen to live in Tianxianglou when she failed to recover from a very obscure disease (probably caused by "being good at romantic affairs"), and was unfortunately discovered by You Shi, so she hanged herself. ...

Of course, there is no such plot in the current draft, just a guess combining the judgment and other clues.

Second, God.

The improper friendship between Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng is by no means superficial, but may be undercurrent.

This anomaly may not be a simple girlfriend relationship, but a political alliance.

Wang Xifeng is the general manager of Jia Fu and the heir of Fu Rong. Qin Keqing is a daughter-in-law, Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law, a patriarch, and a possible successor to the supreme power of Ningfu in the future. Qin Keqing and search know this, or tacitly. It's just that Wang Xifeng is in power and the population is prosperous. And Qin Keqing fledgling, waiting for the opportunity.

Qin Keqing has the foresight to dream, and Wang Xifeng has the great talent to put it into practice. Their combination is a perfect match.

Qin Keqing search, a skill, a soft and a rigid, complement each other. Wang Xifeng's many talents and few virtues will inevitably breed slander. Qin Keqing is virtuous and light. They really need to rely on each other and help each other.

Although this alliance is not necessarily a programmatic and clear political alliance, it is at least a psychological unconscious fit.

However, unlike Wang Xifeng's "Roots are Right and Miaohong", the foundation of Qin Keqing may be shaken. Although it has been brilliant for a while, what will happen in the future is still unknown. After all, Qin Keqing herself knows that she was born at a disadvantage. Once time and space change and fortune reverses, everything may be a variable. Only through her own management and efforts can she keep her position and change her ill-fated fate. And it is possible that one day, Rainbow will rest assured that he will really take control of his own destiny and will no longer be humiliated and manipulated.

To this end, she endured humiliation. In the face of Jia Zhen's arrogance, he dared not resist, and he was silent and patient in the face of outside gossip.

So on the surface, she is "docile and obedient" and has won the favor of the whole society. In private, she is very scheming and sensitive and suspicious. I care about other people's opinions and opinions, so I am strong and unyielding. Therefore, you are weak and gloomy at a young age because of stagnation of liver qi and poor menstrual blood.

She is a very clever person. She seems to vaguely see the future rise and fall of the Jia family, which can break the cycle of fate. She longs for the future to really dominate herself.

At the same time, she is also deeply aware of the disadvantages brought by her birth and the sadness and helplessness in the wolf's den. She had to forbear, keep a low profile, and only show people on the other side.

But in the face of sad fate and cruel reality, she is only a weak woman after all. The so-called people are not as good as the sky, and the number of people plus days. She can only sigh in pain and humiliation that "she cured the disease but could not cure her own life."

It is my life to be brought back from Yangshengtang, and now it is my life to step into the gate of hell. The gentleness of others' eyes and mouths is in harmony with the actual coercion, and the inner humiliation is unbearable ... she has to accept her fate, and she has to accept her fate.

These are the other sides of Qin Keqing under fine clothes. Helpless, sad, full of grief and indignation. This is not what she originally wanted. In fact, she is really looking forward to being a "gentle and smooth" woman who can become a peony-like beauty.

However, this is life, which cannot be cured by medicine in the world. ...

so

Qin Keqing's tragedy and death became inevitable.

During her serious illness, Jia Rong, her husband who never blushed on weekdays, didn't ask his wife when she would get well, but repeatedly asked, "This disease and life are harmless after all." I only care when my wife will die. When Qin was ill, his black-faced father-in-law Jia Zhen was more anxious than his son Jia Rong. But after Qin's death, he asked Xue Pan for the coffin of the prince. "It's not bad for a thousand years." ...

There seems to be relief and relief in this smile. ...

Look at Mr. Zhang meeting Qin Keqing again-

The husband said, "Look at your wife's pulse rate: the left inch is heavy, the left pass is heavy, the right pass is weak, and the right pass needs no spirit." The left inch is heavy, which is caused by insufficient heart qi, while the left customs is caused by stagnation of liver qi and blood deficiency. The right inch is weak, which is caused by qi deficiency of lung meridian, and the right clearance needs no spirit. Spleen soil is restrained by liver wood, and guilty conscience is born of fire. " If the heart is hot and the lung meridian qi deficiency is too weak, the leader will be dizzy from time to time and the pubic hair will inevitably sweat. For example, the spleen is restrained by liver wood, which will inevitably lead to insufficient diet, mental fatigue and weakness of limbs. In my opinion, this pulse should have these symptoms. Or happy pulse, I dare not learn. "A woman next to her said," isn't that right? " "

……

Mr. Zhang finished his pulse and categorically denied that it was a happy pulse. The woman next to him immediately followed suit ... In fact, Mr. Zhang may be just a cover for Jia Zhen to hide his eyes and ears and block people's breathing.

Lenovo Jiao Da's dirty words ... I'm afraid the scandal in Ningfu has long been a well-known secret, but it's not enough.

But this time, Qin's sudden illness may become a broken matchstick. So, even if it's a cover-up, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and even You's couple want to wrap this chest-burning fire with paper, as long as it doesn't burn in the light.

But this time, Qin Keqing was obviously happy. ...

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong probably know the origin of this pulse. Therefore, the bitterness is obvious, but the secret is that Qin will die.

Qin himself probably knew that he would die this time, and there was no way out, so he said sadly, "I can cure the disease, but I can't cure it ...".

Therefore, Qin Keqing's death is inevitable, whether it is the death in the present manuscript or the "erotic mourning" in the original manuscript.

And her death was temporarily wrapped in paper, so as not to expose all the ugliness and crimes of Jiafu in advance, and to give a sigh of relief to the complete demise of Jiafu's declining group, which was "as miserable as a lamp and screaming like a building".

But paper can't contain fire after all, so there is-

Good at amorous feelings, grasping the appearance of the moon,

Is the root of failure.

Everything is respected,

The death of a family is the first sin.

Always because of love.

Only then—

Love the sky boundless, love the fantasy deep,

When love meets, it will dominate prostitution;

Nonsense, you will be honored.

Making trouble is a good start.

Qin Keqing's appearance, although not much in the book, is really comprehensive and has a bearing on the overall situation.

We have a far-fetched insight into the other side of Qin Keqing through some details, which may be inaccurate, completely meaningless, or naked blasphemy. But in short, there is another angle, and I have also made some attempts and explorations.

……

As Baoyu said, "Daughters are made of water and men are made of mud ..."

Qin Keqing, like all the flowers in the Grand View Garden, is both beautiful and sad.

Ke Qing's fragrant soul flew away from hatred and searched for a heart that loved her in the ocean of sadness.
