Act 2 The flowers are ignorant, the moon is boring, the wine is dull, the peaches are chopped, the parrots are cooked, and there are countless begging styles. ——Jiuzhou·Yuan·Bai Songyuan's "Hate to Be Crazy"
Du Gongzi's name is Baoyu. He was born in the name of a jade. His family is a wealthy government. His father is the prime minister of the dynasty. He has been raised as a "wonderful treasure" since he was a child. Not to mention others, even his own parents are not allowed to hit him. , the old man in the family cherished him most, and put the jade he gave birth to with a gold-rimmed jade thread, and hung it around Baoyu's neck. Servants, men and women, served him around all year round, raising him to have a bohemian and independent personality. , everyone who saw it would avoid it, for fear that this ancestor would get angry and cause trouble.
He has been surrounded by female relatives since he was a child, with more than a dozen personal maids. He had sex for the first time at the age of thirteen. From then on, he got out of hand and forced several loyal women to fight to the death. His father really couldn't control it. He didn't want to care anymore.
By the way, Du Baoyu is not evil-minded, but he just doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. He likes to fight against injustice but often does wrong things, which makes him very angry. He may not obey the orders of the emperor or the emperor, but he just listens to the little girls around him. He is arrogant and likes gadgets. All rouges and gouache are ordinary. He is very good at crickets and parrots. He raised three crickets and named them "Three Generals of Taoyuan" and a parrot named "Ping Ge". It seems that he is right. The parrot was more pampered. One cricket was accidentally eaten by the parrot. Du Baoyu simply fed the remaining two. He was ignorant and incompetent all day long and seemed to have nothing to worry about. He was really a good guy. comfortable.
Outsiders wrote his life into a story. The book is called "Stone Forest" and the author is Bai Songyuan.
However, the first half of this book is okay, but the second half begins to dismantle the pieces of the dream. The rhythm of the family's decline goes from chapter to chapter. Every time something happens, no matter how big it is, someone will die. The status is falling step by step. The former colleagues became adults, the former subordinates became colleagues, and later the colleagues became adults. I fell down again and again. All the big people in the family died, and the little people died. After the death and dispersal, the Duke's mansion with thousands of rooms was divided to pay off debts. The remaining one old, two young and two servants huddled in a tiled house. The hope of the entire family was pinned on Du. As for the young master, Mr. Du was forced to study and study every day in the hope of reviving the family business.
If the story had stopped here, it would have become a masterpiece of literature. However, the author was still interested and wrote that Baoyu's daughter-in-law jumped into the well. One of the two servants ran away and the other was kidnapped, leaving Du Baoyu and Du Baoyu. Old lady, these days are very sad.
The old woman warned Baoyu that he must concentrate on studying and obtain fame. In order not to hinder him, she took medicine and died in front of Baoyu. Baoyu was wearing a ragged cotton jacket, with his hands in his sleeves, squatting on a small bench, his whole body They were all in a daze, babbling from time to time the little songs they had hummed while listening to the opera in the Grand View Garden, but no one was clapping for him at this time.
Baoyu was hungry and wanted to have a meal at a restaurant, but he couldn't get in, so his leg was broken. He limped and shot the vendor's hot buns. He felt pitiful and escaped a yard. He was holding a birdcage in his hand. There is a talking parrot in the cage.
When he went to steal the leftovers from a restaurant, he was caught and beaten severely. The waiter in the restaurant found the piece of jade hanging around Baoyu's neck and snatched it away, saying that it was worth the meal. Baoyu was deprived of his life and became rich. He went to grab it like crazy, was beaten again, and was thrown away three or four miles away. When he looked for it again, he had disappeared. After losing the jade, Mr. Du had no soul, stopped reading, and no longer cared about his face or family fortune. , I felt that I didn't have much time left, so I simply started to indulge freely.
On this day, Mr. Du went to the street. If you look at him from the front, you will find that he is Du Xiaoyue in men's clothing. However, Du Xiaoyue now has this memory of Mr. Du, and she also believes that she is Mr. Du is a man.
Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue) looked at the strange flowers and did not understand their feelings and did not know how to bloom. Looking at the moon, he felt that the world's poems were sour and bitter. I needed to get an ax to cut off the branches. I felt hungry, so I burned firewood and cooked the parrots. I spread my hands and dropped my knees, begging from South Street to North Street, rolling in the middle of the street, and eating steamed buns that were freshly baked. Apply plaster.
But he still felt dry and felt that his life was in vain. He might as well go to a brothel and try the soft jade world before being beaten to death. Instead of going through the main entrance, he climbed over the wall and entered. Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue) I met a laundry maid. The maid said something like "Young Master" and her eyes turned secretly. It turned out that she was also a girl who was trying to show off herself.
"No, no, no." Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue) despised him and went through all the doors, looking for someone who looked like an oiran. Perhaps by chance, he broke into the room of Han Zhangyi, a famous prostitute in the capital, and was separated from the beautiful woman. Behind a screen, a woman was humming a tune, and she just needed a perfect word to fill it in. When Du Gongzi (Du Xiaoyue) heard the lyrics and music, his heart was touched by his past experiences. He made up a word casually, which surprised Han Zhangyi. He immediately walked out of the screen to meet each other. From then on, Du Gongzi (Du Xiaoyue) became Han Zhangyi in confusion. A frequent visitor to Zhang Yi.
Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue)'s clothes are neat, his skin is white and tender, and his hair is clean, but he still can't change his crazy energy. He often talks gossip and writes crazy words and crazy things, but he is because of that poem. He became famous for his poems tempered by the ups and downs of life. But he was ruthless to the world and careless about the world. He told Han Zhangyi that his jade was lost and his soul was gone. Han Zhangyi told him that she would become his new jade, but Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue) waved his hands and laughed, laughing at her and laughing at himself. He was ruthless and ruthless, but he did a ridiculous "big thing". He broke into The prince's wedding team wiped the ankles of the bride in the sedan chair.
He was hung up and whipped for five days and five nights, and finally he was executed by Ling Chi. He didn't know who saved him. After escaping, he went crazy again the next day without restraint in the street. What he had experienced in this life It’s so rich that it’s not over yet. A scholar kidnapped him and locked him in a cellar, making him talk crazy words. The few good words that occasionally came out were snatched away by the scholar. Relying on those lines of poetry, the scholar became a new star in the poetry world.
Mr. Du (Du Xiaoyue) ran away again. He did not avoid anyone or anything. Without jade, he would have no soul. He wandered around the world "happily".
This is the end of "Stone Forest". The author Bai Songyuan lamented at the end of the volume and wrote a long story, each sentence touching the heart. Later generations changed the name of the story. The first half was called A Dream in Red Mansions, and the second half was called Madness in the World. . For thousands of years, it has been studied and studied by countless scholars.
