Hello! Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin.
When in doubt, please ask.

Another unique feature of Jia Baoyu's appearance is that as soon as he appeared, "Daiyu was surprised when she saw it", and then went in and changed into another outfit and dressed up. In addition to the difference in clothing, for the first time, he mainly described his face, color, sideburns, eyebrows, nose, eyes and other physical features.
The second time he wrote that he "turned to be affectionate, and his words were like laughter; A natural charm, all at the tip of the eyebrows; There are thousands of feelings in life, and they are all in the corners of their eyes", which is completely expressive. In ancient times, it is very rare for the protagonist to only appear like this.
Jia Baoyu's artistic image makes such a deep impression on the reader, which is inseparable from the author's unique technique of deliberately portraying him when he first appears. Jia Baoyu's appearance is not only ranked last, but also made some renderings in advance, mainly Mrs. Wang's confession to Daiyu, saying that Jia Baoyu is a "evil root and a curse", and he is the "demon king of the world" in the family, and his mouth is "crazy and stupid". In addition, Daiyu heard her mother say when she was a child that this Baoyu was "stubborn and abnormal, she doesn't like to read, and she likes to mess around inside" and so on.
In this way, the reader, together with Daiyu, formed a preconceived opinion about Jia Baoyu in advance: "I don't know what kind of lazy person this Baoyu is." When the author completed such a foreshadowing, the Baoyu sent to Daiyu and the reader was completely the image of another young man, especially the two successive appearances of Baoyu, from the form to the depiction of the god, not only made Daiyu surprised, but the reader also left a strong impression because of the completely different contrasts.

When describing Baoyu's appearance, the maid's "smile" and "Baoyu is here" are particularly unusual. Because Baoyu is the most democratic-minded person in Jiafu, in his mind, there seems to be little distinction between master and servant, respect and inferiority. These seemingly casual descriptions of the maid hint at Baoyu's easy-going and transcendent manners.
Bao Dai felt familiar and connected at the first meeting. As soon as Daiyu saw Baoyu, she felt: "It's so strange, it's like I've seen it there, how familiar is it?
Baoyu looked at Daiyu and felt that "I have seen this sister before" "Although I have never seen him, but I look at the face of goodness, and my heart is considered an old acquaintance." "The two had a kind of telepathy of mutual acquaintance at the first meeting. The author writes this, on the one hand, from the story of the first Shenying waiter and the Zhuzhu Xiancao, which casts a layer of romanticism on the relationship between the two; On the other hand, it is more important to show the tacit understanding of the two people emotionally through the telepathy at the first meeting, and to develop the love between the two later.
At the first meeting, although Bao Dai had the same feelings and similar ideas, her performance was different, Daiyu saw that Baoyu was a "surprise", and Baoyu saw that Daiyu was a "smile", one was in the middle, and one was outside. This difference is manifested in the different psychology generated by their different status. Daiyu is used to hearing other people's comments about Baoyu:
Lazy, ignorant, and naughty......But when I saw that this was not the case today, I was naturally "surprised"; Besides, Daiyu had to pay attention to every step of the way when she first arrived in Jiafu, so although she was "surprised", she was just "thinking about it in her heart" and didn't dare to say it easily. And Baoyu is different, he is pampered in Jia's mansion, so he is outspoken, even if Jia's mother says that he is "nonsense again", he doesn't care and still says it. As for 'busy' and 'laughing':
Personally, I feel that 'busy' fully reflects the pomp and circumstance of Jiafu, and 'laughter' reflects the harmony and prosperity of Jiafu.

Wang Xifeng's appearance was heard before anyone saw her, showing her special status and flamboyant personality in Jiafu; Jia Baoyu's appearance is to promote and suppress, forming a contrast, which highlights Baoyu's rebellion and incomprehension.
-
It was everyone who appeared, and then Jia Baoyu appeared last! Finale!
-
I saw Jia's mother when I came back in a hurry, which shows the deep love between Jia's mother and Baoyu's ancestors, as well as the strict regulations and family education of the big family, and the filial piety and prudence of the elders are reflected in every bit of life.
Then he went to see his mother, Mrs. Wang, and it was in order to meet Mother Jia and then Mrs. Wang. Coming back to the old lady is the beginning of the topic, and the grandchildren of the family gather together to share the family.
Daiyu entered Jiafu, through what she saw and heard along the way, not only described in detail the layout of the second mansion of Rongning, that is, the activity environment of the characters, but also vividly portrayed several main characters such as Jia's mother, the three sisters of the Jia family, Sister Feng, Mrs. Xing, Baoyu and Daiyu for the first time, so it can be said that "this side is the beginning of the text, and the pen and ink after that are different from the first two times" (Jiazhu Ben Fat Criticism).
From the point of view of artistic structure, the design of the plot this time also reflects the author's ingenuity. If the second "Speech on the Rongfu" is only through Leng Zixing's oral narration, the reader can have a general understanding of the main members of the Rongning Mansion and their mutual relations;
This time, through specific and vivid artistic descriptions, several main characters come to the reader's face with different voices and smiles. This is also the second wrinkle dye in the "Painter's Three Dyeing Method" mentioned above, and after this wrinkle, several main characters are revealed in the eyes of the reader.

From the moment Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, it showed that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang had different attitudes towards her, and Jia Baoyu was the center of the whole incident.
-
Baoyu went out and came back to see the old lady first, then his mother, and then go back to the old lady to play.
-
Twenty-first.
Virtuous attackers, delicate and resentful.
Qiao Ping'er softly said to save Jia Lian.
Daiyu chased Xiangyun, Baoyu was not allowed, Baochai also came to persuade the fight, and the four of them made a mess. The next day, Baoyu got up early to see Daiyu Xiangyun, covered Xiangyun with a quilt, and Daiyu woke up. Daiyu Xiangyun got up, and Baoyu also washed in Daiyu's residence, and when people came to see her, they were displeased.
Baochai went to find Baoyu, but only saw the attacker, the two talked very speculatively, Baoyu came back, but Baochai took his leave. Baoyu saw that the attacker was really angry, and knew that he had violated the previous three chapters of the covenant, so he read at home that day, read the Nanhua Sutra, and used wine to continue a short story, slandering the red face. The next day, Baoyu swore to listen to the attackers, and the two reconciled.
Daiyu had no intention of seeing Baoyu's continuation of the article, and scolded it in a five-word quatrain. Sister Feng's daughter had measles, and Sister Feng accompanied her for days, but Jia Lian took the opportunity to mess with flowers. Fortunately, Ping'er helped him cover it up and concealed it from Sister Feng.

As the two most important heroines of "Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Xueqin spent the most pen and ink on these two people, whether it was from the dress, or their words and deeds, or directly describing them, or through the words and deeds of the people around them, Cao Gong almost exhausted his whimsy. From the first time Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai entered Jiafu, the description of them is very interesting.
First of all, Lin Daiyu, from the moment Lin Daiyu entered Ningrong Street, the grass and trees around Daiyu, including the stone lion at the door, all kinds of main gates, side doors, etc., were described in detail one by one, and then Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu met for the first time, Cao Xueqin cleverly designed to let Baoyu go out, and when Baoyu came back, everyone had dispersed, freeing up a whole space for the infatuated man and woman to get along.
And the other heroine in "Dream of Red Mansions", her appearance is also quite interesting, Cao Xueqin did not spend too much pen and ink to detail the grass and trees that Baochai saw when she entered Jiafu, but just roughly said, "Mrs. Wang of Xi was busy bringing people to the hall". Instead, it was through the subtle reactions of Daiyu and Baoyu that the prelude to this triangular relationship was kicked off. And this scene was vividly shown in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
It is said that Xue Pan fell into a lawsuit because he killed someone, and although the lawsuit was over, Aunt Xue still took Xue Pan and her sister Xue Baochai to Jiafu. As Mrs. Wang's own sister, Aunt Xue's arrival naturally made the Jia Mansion overjoyed. And Baoyu heard that a sister was coming, and she was even more happy like something, so since Xue Baochai just entered the door, Jia Baoyu, who has liked all beautiful people and things since she was a child, naturally kept staring at Xue Baochai at this time.
The attentive Daiyu watched everyone's reactions from the sidelines, especially when she saw Baoyu's happy appearance, the corners of her mouth slightly revealed a not very happy look. Seeing Daiyu's eyebrows frowning, it really made people feel a little sad.
Although Baoyu focused on looking at the new sister, she still saw Lin Daiyu's unhappy affection from the afterglow, and took Daiyu's hand by the way. I want to see this scene, one second ago, many viewers were still scolding Baoyu for being too attentive and simply a scumbag, and the next second they were melted by Baoyu's heartwarming gesture. Indeed, Baoyu's move directly exposed his character, he is not a flowery person, in his heart Daiyu is the only spiritual love, and he will be so happy in the face of Baochai because he has been used to playing with girls since he was a child, and he likes everything beautiful, not everyone he loves.
Personally, I think that the reason why Lin Daiyu entered Jiafu is mainly described at length: >>>More
Wang Xifeng's appearance is a preemptive, reflecting the difference in Wang Xifeng's appearance, implying that her status in Jiafu is not ordinary. In "Lin Daiyu Enters Jiafu", Wang Xifeng's character characteristics are: >>>More
There is no way for Daiyu to enter Jiafu, his father himself is sick and does not know when he will die, if he really goes to Daiyu or still has to go to Jiafu to take refuge, it is better for Jia's mother to propose it and send it away, and the old man will naturally not treat his daughter badly.
Because Lin Daiyu's family, the Lin family, is also a big family, Lin Daiyu inherited the property of the Lin family, after she lived in the Jia Mansion, the property of the Lin family sheltered the Jia family, so the Jia family was safe and sound for the time being, and after Lin Daiyu's death, the declining Jia family was immediately raided.
Lin Daiyu's Entry into Jiafu is an important chapter in Dream of Red Mansions, describing Lin Daiyu's first entry into Jiafu. Here is a simplified version of this chapter: >>>More
