Second Sister You swallowed gold and died.

In A Dream of Red Mansions, Sister You committed suicide by swallowing gold, which was very bitter. A woman's life ended in heartbreak. Why did she kill herself? Various reasons are the epitome of a social tragedy. There is the poison of social ethics, the influence of social environment at that time, the means of stabbing people in the back, the mixture of evil and good in some people, the consciousness of hate and regret in some people, and so on. In this process, Sister You experienced hope, then disappointment and finally despair. They forced her to die step by step.

Perhaps all this, as Buddhism and Taoism say, is a kind of "karma" of everything in the world. If there is "karma", there will naturally be cause and effect, which will cause all kinds of troubles. There is no right or wrong in the "karma" itself, but every "karma" will give birth to desire, or the individual's self-desire, or the desire to plunder other objects, and then the causal cycle will be unhappy. In A Dream of Red Mansions, from the second sister You swallowing gold to the ending of Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's daughter is sold to a brothel, which is a good cycle.

Second Sister You is the younger sister of You, the wife of Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, and there is also a You Sanjie. When You Sanjie was refused marriage by Liu Xianglian, she cut the carotid artery and committed suicide with the mandarin duck sword that Liu Xianglian gave her when she got engaged. This is another story. Second Sister You and You Sanjie came to Ningguo Mansion to mourn Jia Jingzhi's death, and lived in Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen, the son of Jia Jing, and Jia Rong, the grandson of Jia Jing, covet the beauty of the two sisters, and there is a little misunderstanding between them. This is related to the influence of Jia family and the low status of women in society at that time. They can't really control their own destiny, but they can only be wronged and at the mercy of others. At this time, Jia Lian came to pay his respects and took a fancy to the two sisters, especially the second sister. Jia Rong encouraged Jia Lian to accept Second Sister You as his concubine, and there was also Jia Rong's selfishness here. He knew that Jia Lian was afraid of Wang Xifeng, and even if he married Second Sister You, he didn't dare to take him back to Guo Rongfu without permission, so he could only put it outside, which made it convenient for him to often find Second Sister You.

Jia Lian hid Jiao You, the second sister, from Wang Xifeng, and was finally found out by Xifeng. Kill Feng stepped forward step by step, invited You to the urn, killed with a knife, and sat quietly watching the tiger pounce, all of which doomed the tragic end of Sister You.

When Wang Xifeng and Second Sister You met for the first time, Xifeng was completely white, put herself in a weak position, and was moved by her simple-minded and ignorant words, and entered the exquisite cage created by Wang Xifeng. Xifeng is dressed in plain white, and Cao Weng's design is also a mystery. Article 1: No marriage is allowed during the funeral. Jia Lian's adultery with Second Sister You has violated etiquette and is a duel. Article 2: White gives people a feeling of purity, innocence and kindness, so that Second Sister You can rest assured, because Second Sister You must have heard others' bad comments about Wang Xifeng before, saying that she was jealous and duplicitous. Article 3: White gives people a feeling of desolation and coldness. It is also a common color of death, and it also indicates that the end of Second Sister You will be death.

After Second Sister You entered the mansion with Feng, Feng Xian put her in Li Wan's place for a temporary stay. On the surface, what she said to Second Sister You was her predicament. She hasn't had a mourning period, and she hasn't told her elders, grandmother Jia and others, so she can only be wronged by Second Sister You. So Feng changed all the people who served Second Sister You, and specially sent a servant girl, Sister Shan, to serve. Although this servant girl applauds her sister, she can't do anything good. Her harsh words and abusive life have done harm to Second Sister You both psychologically and physically. The good sister here is a puppet arranged by Xifeng. She is a tool person, and it is Xifeng who is really behind the scenes. Xifeng told her to harm Second Sister You, so she had to listen. Either Second Sister You is injured or she is injured. You Erjie is an isolated existence. No one really serves her, and no one treats her well. Jia Lian just works outside and doesn't go home. Feng also comes to see her occasionally, but it's all fake. In the play, she is embarrassed and busy, but her simple and kind second sister is convinced, which also reflects Feng's deep scheming. In fact, at this time, the only one who will be kind to Second Sister You is Pinger, the servant girl of Wang Xifeng, who often secretly comes to take care of and help Second Sister You.

When Jia Lian came home, his father Jia She gave him a new concubine room-Qiu Tong. Second Sister You thought there was still hope, but she was doomed to disappointment. Jia Lian has a good impression on her, but she is a person with deep desire. She soon became intimate with Qiu Tong, while Second Sister You was left behind by him. Xifeng didn't settle second sister you, but another one came. It is absolutely impossible for Feng to admit defeat, and soon she has a plan: kill two birds with one stone. She insulted the second sister by encouraging Qiu Tong to swim. Here, she used feudal ethics to kill people. In ancient times, the most important thing for women was reputation and innocence. Qiu Tong exaggerated the past events of Second Sister You, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion, and her words were vulgar, which also aggravated the psychological damage of Second Sister You. Sometimes it's not the sword that kills people, but the human tongue. Many things are not something she can choose and get rid of. She is just a poor woman who was suppressed and manipulated by the old society.

After a series of psychological blows, Second Sister You realized that Xi Feng's deception, her stupidity, Jia Lian's fickleness, her malice around her, and her isolation (Pinger was secretly taken care of by Xi Feng in Gaomi, and after Xi Feng knew it, Pinger was strongly forbidden to act, and Pinger was helpless). She realized that she was born to die and was determined to die. The disappointed heart rekindled hope. When a woman becomes a mother, she naturally has hope for life. She won't cling to it, and she won't care about the slander of the outside world. At this time, Jia Lian often came to take care of her, and these things slowly warmed her cold and broken heart. This is something that rekindled her hope, but she met the doctor again, diagnosed the wrong condition, prescribed the wrong prescription, and miscarried the fetus of Second Sister You, and it was a male fetus. In the old society, most of them preferred sons to daughters, which was also a great blow to her. There is also a paragraph that Feng secretly found a fortune teller. He found that Sister You miscarried because she was hit by a rabbit, and only Qiu Tong was a rabbit. Here, Xifeng's strategy aggravated the contradiction with Second Sister You. It is conceivable that Qiu Tong retaliated and abused Second Sister You afterwards. You Erjie is already deficient in both qi and blood, and with Qiu Tong's arrow of breath, although there is a healing stone that can cure her physical pain, it can't cure her psychological pain. Second Sister You was desperate, and finally she chose to die.

In addition to the above reasons, the sadness of Second Sister You's suicide by swallowing gold also stems from her hesitation and hesitation when she chose to die. She didn't want her death to disturb others, and she didn't want to die ugly. She chose to swallow gold and died silently. Death by swallowing gold is a long process. During this period, she dressed up, then lay in bed, feeling the pain of heartbroken, and died silently.

However, Sister You passed away quietly last night. The next morning, it was still quiet, and no one cared. Pinger couldn't stand it any longer, and reprimanded the people who served Second Sister You on weekdays. It was discovered that Second Sister You was dead and lying in bed cleanly. What makes people sigh is her choice. If you can't live clean, then die clean. When they saw the dead Second Sister You, they began to wake up. They shouldn't treat Sister You like this. She didn't have any bad intentions, but it was too late.

Step by step, and unconsciously become a killing tool. After Second Sister You's death, Jia Lian found himself penniless when she was packing up Second Sister You's relics, and the money was pocketed by Xifeng early in the morning. When Xi Feng buried Second Sister You, Qiu Tong urged Second Sister You to speak ill of Second Sister You in front of Jia Mu, and asked Jia Mu to let Jia Lian bury Second Sister You casually, or throw a straw mat on the mass grave. This is also a manifestation of the low status of many women in the old society. Compared with the ostentation and extravagance of Qin Keqing's funeral, the funeral of You's sisters is more desolate and crude.

The death of Second Sister You is a great tragedy. It is not one person who caused this tragedy, but the invisible knife and unfathomable heart in the whole social system.
