1980 My literary era

Okay, the word "handsome" may be up for debate, but the rest of the description is pretty accurate.

Lin Weimin was called upon by Wu Zuxiang and stood up with a little nervousness in his heart.

In normal times, let alone in front of classmates, even in a venue with hundreds or thousands of people, he might not behave like this.

The problem is that there is a Taishan Beidou standing on the podium, which makes people mutter in their hearts, as if whatever they say is just trying to trick the class.

But since he was named, he couldn't get stage fright. Lin Weimin sorted out his thoughts and quickly recalled the plot of "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his mind.

After a moment, he slowly said: "I personally only read "A Dream of Red Mansions" briefly, and I can't say I have a deep understanding. I was fortunate enough to listen to Mr. Wu's explanation, which was very useful. It happened that I had finished reading "A Dream of Red Mansions" before. When I was studying, I had a little question, and I would like to ask Mr. Wu and all my classmates to help me analyze it."

Wu Zuxiang asked the students to stand up and speak, mostly to impress them with the content of the lecture. But Lin Weimin's calm and composed performance piqued his interest, and he wanted to hear what the "little question" he mentioned was.

The students' eyes were also on Lin Weimin, not only curious about his questions, but also admiring his calmness in front of Wu Zuxiang.

Under the signal from Wu Zuxiang's eyes, Lin Weimin continued to speak: "The book "A Dream of Red Mansions" describes that the Xue family came to Beijing to send Baochai to the Beijing palace for selection. If it can be done at this time, the Xue family will be extremely rich. Just like when Yuanchun entered the palace, the Jia family was cooked in the flames of the past few years. However, it is written in the book that the matter of the palace election will not be mentioned, and there will be no more details. One can't help but wonder whether the author forgot about this. Yes, it was set up deliberately.”

Lin Weimin's question was not long. After he finished speaking, many students in the class showed contemplative expressions on their faces. They had never thought of such details.

Wu Zuxiang looked at Lin Weimin with some appreciation in his eyes. He nodded, "It's not easy to see this level of joints."

He saw Lin Weimin pause, but his face was full of confidence, and asked: "Then what is your opinion?"

"Mr. Cao Xueqin himself wrote in the first chapter of the Jiaxu version: I have read it for ten years and added and deleted it five times. If I say that I have forgotten it, it obviously does not make sense. So I personally think that this may be a conspiracy against Baoyu. The so-called 'good match' is just a lie made up by the Xue family in order to marry the Jia family."

After Lin Weimin said this, all the students in the class looked at him in surprise.

This view is not unorthodox, but it is quite eye-catching.

Is "A Good Marriage" a conspiracy?

If it is true, I am afraid that all readers who have read "Dream of Red Mansions" will have their filters for the gentle, lovely, dignified and majestic Sister Bao shattered.

Wu Zuxiang looked at Lin Weimin with unusually bright eyes, and he asked: "Besides this, do you have any other basis?"

Lin Weimin hesitated for a moment, "There are several doubts. For example, in the thirty-fifth chapter, Baoyu was beaten, and Baochai suspected that it was his brother Xue Pan who reported the secret. In desperation, Xue Pan, who spoke freely, said something : Your gold must be matched with jade. It can be seen that the Xue family recognized jade from the beginning."

"Also, people say that Baochai has never been very fond of flowers. She dresses simply, but she insists on wearing a collar."

After saying this, Lin Weimin's inventory of "gold and jade marriage" had been cleared out. He smiled shyly at Wu Zuxiang and said, "I'm doing my best in front of Mr. Xiang."

Wu Zuxiang waved his hand, with a happy smile on his face, "Hey, how can this be just a fool's errand? Your idea is very good, it shows that you have read the book seriously."

"Thank you, teacher."

Wu Zuxiang nodded slightly to him, "Sit down."

"Is there any other classmate you want to talk to?"

With Lin Weimin's example, many students in the class were relieved of their ideological burdens, and some people began to take the initiative to stand up and share their reading experiences with everyone.

Therefore, the class that was supposed to end at eleven o'clock was postponed to lunch.

During lunch, the students did not forget to ask Teacher Tang Yuqiu for feedback. The course on "Dream of Red Mansions" was about to end. We hoped that the institute could communicate with Mr. Wu Zuxiang and teach it again for everyone.

This is not the first time this has happened at the Literary Research Institute.

Previously, the institute invited a teacher from Yanda University to give a lecture on Russian literature. Everyone was very interested in listening to it and asked the institute to apply for more lectures.

The teacher in the institute actually kept the person here, had a guest meal, took a nap, and gave lectures for half a day.

This time when Mr. Wu Zuxiang played "Dream of Red Mansions", everyone repeated their old tricks. Teacher Tang Yuqiu nodded after listening and said that he would go to the leaders of the institute to negotiate with Mr. Wu. Everyone cheered.

Everyone knows that as long as the institute comes forward, Mr. Wu will definitely give him face.

As the first batch of trainees of the Institute of Literature and Literature 23 years after its closure, Lin Weimin and his group have really received unprecedented care and training from the Institute of Literature and Literature.

After returning to the dormitory in the evening, Lin Weimin heard Zhang Lin and Jiang Zilong discussing their training.

From the very beginning, the training time set by the institute was three months. Adhering to the principle of "preparing and running classes at the same time" proposed by Comrade Li Ji, the short training class came into being.

But now after studying for almost two months, everyone really likes this kind of training life. At the same time, they also feel that this training time is too short, especially when compared with the previous batches of students of the Institute of Literature, everyone feels like Born by stepmother.

"You two are so audacious, you actually want to start a series of connections!"

Zhang Lin and Jiang Zilong did not go behind everyone's back when they discussed. Lin Weimin said this purely as a joke, and everyone has long been used to his being neither big nor small.

"This is wrong. What does it mean to engage in series connection? We are fighting for our reasonable rights and interests." Jiang Zilong retorted.

"That's right." Cheng Shixu was the first to jump out in support. He is one of the most serious people in the institute. Studying in the institute is like dry land encountering the moisture of rain. Of course, he hopes that the training time will be longer. The better.

With Cheng Shixu's voice, others have also expressed their opinions one after another. Everyone hopes that the training time can be extended.

Lin Weimin immediately threw away what he just said and said with a playful smile, "Take me one, take me one."

He has the soul of future generations, but he is not as bold as the old fritters in the institute, but since everyone has expressed their stance, he cannot lag behind others.

The crowd made disdainful sounds and acted according to the prevailing situation, and the character of comrades serving the people was severely damaged again.
