blabla100:
Xiao Yao quickly said “Oh, you guys are back.” Her face was bright red but thankfully it was covered by the veil so no one could see it. Zhuan Xu seemed to understand something and concern flitted across his eyes. "

Incidentally, this text is different from the version I have. In my edition, it refers to Jing:

Jing however seemed to understand, and his eyes were filled with joy.


 blabla100:
How could she have seen black, if she had a veil on her face? 

I could argue too that she could not have seen white either, since her face was covered with a veil. In any case, it doesn't really matter. If it is really supposed to be her superimposing Xiang Liu on Jing's profile, all the better. If it wasn't, then I will still take it at face value. I guess we could say that perhaps the reflection of the sunrise against his black hair gave off highlights that appeared similar to the Milky Way (white), which would make her think of Xiang Liu and his flowing hair. However, black hair with white highlights seem to be a bit of a leap from pure white hair, which Lie Yang has a better claim on...

@liddi

The man ignored him as he changed his robe and sat down at his desk to review doc.u.ments. It was then that Xiao Liu finally saw his face clearly. White hair like the clouds that wasn’t tied into a bun but instead a jade-colored rope was used to tie it neatly back to let it fall behind his head. His face was so beautifully handsome it bordered on surreal. His entire body was so spotlessly clean it was eerie.

After Xiang Liu finished eating and drinking, he lay lazily on the couch after washing, and casually flipped through a silk book.

But when he saw Jing standing up, he casually untied the crown that bound his hair. His hair was covered with black hair like a galaxy, falling down on his back and drifting in the sea breeze. He leaned against the railing of the boat,looking lazily and casually at the dawn of dawn in the eastern sky.

The word Lazy has been written many times.

 liddi:
I could argue too that she could not have seen white either, since her face was covered with a veil. In any case, it doesn't really matter.

When black hair is shone by sunlight, It would be a kind of dark blond or light brown color (Jing was facing the East in sunrise). Maybe it is the color of milky way. The hair was describled as it was very free form. The state of the hair is very similar to the way TH described XL's hair, Did the free, floating form of the hair draw her attention regardless whose it belongs to. There are many time TH mention XY's interaction with hair. It seems that she was really obsessed with hair. 

Anyway, and the text later indicates that XY got blush by Jing. 

Additionally, TH is obsessed with XL's hair too. She always mentioned his hair when XL emerged in the book. 

Personally I don't belive the veil is unintentional,  TH puts a lot of emphasis on masks (gamble den), eyes (I was / wasn't in your eyes), projections (CX and Xing Yue wedding night), but most importantly, when XY recalls that memory în chapter 26, she referrs to it as having place "în the ocean". Unless, ofc, the translation differs.


Baozhu is the string post of ancient plucked instruments such as zither, qin and harp .

Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "The Journey of Hurt Qin Shu": " The red gold spring with green oxen and the rose pillar are flying geese in autumn."

Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty wrote in " Hunting and Riding Ci ": "The treasure pillar is reluctant to leave the string, and it flows into Huangbei Chi County."

Yin E of the Five Dynasties wrote a poem in " Jiangchengzi ": "The Baozhu Qin Zheng plays towards the evening, and the strings stimulate the geese, making them think more."

Zhang Zhu of the Yuan Dynasty wrote "A Hundred Rhymes of Yushan Poems to Gu Zhongying": "The strings are loose and the treasure pillars are tuned, and the sheng throat is burned with silver springs."

Xiang Liu named himself "Baozhu". Maybe he thought that Yao Liu and Yao Liu could have harmoniously played the harp and harp , but now Xiang Liu was left alone in Qingshui Town to express his love for him and spend the rest of his life composing a magnificent and majestic song. A song of forbearing lovesickness and secret love . And this song is like the song of a mermaid , which cannot be heard by ordinary people, only sea creatures can hear it. And Xiang Liu's song is also hidden between heaven and earth, unknown to anyone. Only Xiao Yao can hear it, but Xiao Yao has no chance to listen. It's so pitiful and pitiable! The pillar moves the heaven and the earth with its music, but no one comes to break my heart!

Xiang Liu took Xiao Yao to listen to the shark's singing, and he also used the shark's singing to convey the strong and forbearing lovesickness of Xiang Liu, Fang Feng Bei and Baozhu.

2. From the perspective of text dismantling.

First level of interpretation. Bao means knowing, like there are shells and jade in the house, which means there are treasures hidden in the home. "Zhu" means "pillar" in shape, from the main sound of "wood", and its original meaning is "house pillar". So, Xiaoyao is a "treasure", which means that Xiangliu regards Xiaoyao as a treasure;

The second level of interpretation is that Xiaoyao's original name is " Jiu Yao ", and both characters in her name include "王". The first "王" plus "DOT" turns it into jade. Keeping the jade at home is regarded as "treasure" . The second "king" is added with "dian" to become "lord", and "lord" is combined with the word "wood" in "Xiangliu" to become "pillar". Therefore, "treasure pillar" implies that Xiaoyao is Xiangliu's treasure and also Xiangliu's mistress. Oh my god, it’s so doting, so earthy and sweet.

3. From the perspective of homophony.

it may have two meanings. One is "baozhu" (pampering, so sour), and the other is "baozhu" (sense of responsibility).

Homophone 1: Baozhu

"Baozhu" obviously means that precious treasures live here, and this "Bao" refers to Xiaoyao (Little Liu). Because if Xiaoyao does not regain her identity, she will always be Wen Xiaoliu . In Xiang Liu's original plan, he planned to walk hand in hand with Wen Xiaoliu and stay together for the rest of his life.

Before Xiaoliu left Qingshui Town, all the information he released to Xiangliu made Xiangliu think that Xiaoliu could stay with him, so after falling in love with Xiaoliu, he agreed to plant a gu and give his only heart to Xiaoliu. six. Xiang Liu is thoughtful (he has led the Chenrong Rebel Army for hundreds of years), he keeps his word (loyalty to Hong Jiang Paoze), and he is extremely capable of execution. Therefore, "growing lover's poison" is definitely not a whim, it must be After repeated research, you have made up your mind and are ready to put it into practice.

Under the circumstances and current situation at that time, Xiang Liu's judgment was that he could stay with Xiao Liu forever .

Let’s talk about Xiang Liu Xiaoliu first. When Xiao Liu met Xiang Liu for the first time and was suspected of his identity, Xiao Liu said, "As long as you are willing, I can just be Wen Xiao Liu for the rest of my life." Even if Xiang Liu knows that she is a woman and may regain her true form in the future, no matter how special her identity is, she may be an unappreciated child abandoned by a noble family, or even more likely the enemy's son of Xi Yan or Haoling (the same is true for Cang Xuan ) suspected). Otherwise, how could Xiaoliu have suffered so much in the past 300 years, being imprisoned and hiding his gender, and finally wandered to Qingshui Town to have fun with the human race. Xiang Liu must have guessed her life experience through the information released by Xiao Liu. Referring to her first appearance in the Chenrong Rebel Army camp, Xiang Liu sent someone to investigate Wen Xiaoliu and confirmed that her identity was not a threat. Then Xiang Liu After discovering that I have feelings for Xiaoliu, I must have speculated about Xiaoliu's life experience. It is very normal for us to be curious about people we have a crush on. In addition, Xiang Liu had already rescued Fangfeng Bei at that time and knew that some children of aristocratic families were not valued by the family. Therefore, Xiao Liu, a protoss with excellent medical skills, might be a child who was neglected by a certain aristocratic family and used the family's expertise to make a living. Xiao Liu is more likely to be the enemy's son of Xi Yan or Hao Ling. So Xiao Liu's true identity may be a neutral party, and he may be in the same camp as Xiang Liu. Who would have guessed that Xiaoliu was Xi Yan's granddaughter? The probability was less than one in ten thousand.

Based on the above reasons, Xiang Liu speculates that Xiaoliu's identity is safe and not antagonistic. This is the first condition for a long-term relationship besides falling in love.

The second condition is that since the Lover Gu can be planted, Xiao Liu also has feelings for Xiang Liu. Although Xiao Liu has not realized his feelings yet, it will be a matter of time. The future is long and the heart will not lie. Therefore, being in love between two people is the second condition for staying together for a long time.

Based on the above two points, after Xiang Liu fell in love with Xiao Liu and planted the poison, he planned their future life and planned to build a home belonging to Xiang Liu and Xiao Liu next to Huichun Hall .

Some would say that given the unstable current situation, such companionship is likely to be short-lived. No, during the period of Qingshui Town, there was no Queen Haoling in the world. Cang Xuan did not even go back to Xiyan, let alone become the king of Xiyan. The unification of the wilderness was even more impossible. Under this current situation, the future direction of Chenrong's rebel army is still unclear. It is possible that they will survive for hundreds of years or even longer, or even make a comeback and separat one side again. So let’s analyze the current situation and background of why Xiang Liu thinks he can stay with Xiao Yao forever.

Xiang Liu serves as the military advisor and general of Chenrong's rebel army. The analysis of the world's pattern must be thorough and clear to the heart. Xiyan and Haoling divided and conquered them , while Chenrong's rebel army lived in a corner and lingered. It seems that Chenrong's rebel army has no country to protect, no land to defend, and no people to protect. But in fact, the Chenrong Rebel Army has a big chance of turning around in the future, and may even be able to make a comeback.

The first reason is that there is a crisis of civil strife in Xiyan . The Yellow Emperor is old and old, and abdication, rebellion, or death are all possible. The crown prince of Xiyan is undecided, with five kings and seven kings eyeing him. His grandson Cangxuan is serving as a hostage in Haoling, and he has almost no foundation in Xiyan. Moreover, Cangxuan has always been a well-traveled favorite, and has never shown any signs of great talent. . For the Chen Rong Rebels, there are two guesses. One is that Cang Xuan is indeed a mediocre person, so even if he succeeds by chance, he will not be able to pose a fatal threat to the Chen Rong Rebels. Second, Cang Xuan is a hidden genius in governing the country. He is forbearing and firm, and is good at disguise. Xiang Liu had never dealt with Cang Xuan before. After fighting Cang Xuan in Qingshui Town, he found that Cang Xuan belonged to the latter group. Therefore, he must be eradicated as soon as possible. If the tiger is allowed to return to the mountain, it will definitely become a serious problem . Cang Xuan was an uncertain factor for Chen Rong's rebel army, so Xiang Liu wanted to kill Cang Xuan several times. If Xiao Liu hadn't repeatedly broken the situation to save Cang Xuan, Cang Xuan would have died at least three times. As long as Cang Xuan, the most unstable factor, is eradicated, the probability of Chen Rong's rebel army being wiped out will be greatly reduced, and defeat can even be turned into victory.

Besides, Xi Yan has another candidate for succession, the Five Kings. Whether as a rebel strategist or as Fangfeng Bei, Xiang Liu had conflicts or transactions with the five kings, and he knew the talents, character, and behavior of the five kings well. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Therefore, the succession of the Five Kings to the throne is not a bad thing for Chenrong Yijun. The Five Kings want to succeed to the throne because they are pursuing and infatuating with power and status. His governance ideas are good if they can protect Xiyan, but they cannot truly convince the Central Plains family. Once they become disloyal, it will give Chenrong's rebel army a chance to come back. . Because at this time, the Central Plains families did not surrender from the heart, and many families were in a wait-and-see state. Those who understood the current affairs were heroes . Xi Yan, under the governance of the Five Kings, eventually declined and split. When Huang Di later asked Cang Xuan and the five kings about their future governance, Xiang Liu's speculation was already verified.

Therefore, Xiang Liu, who transformed into Fang Feng Bei, supported the Five Kings, which was the most advantageous strategy for Chen Rong's rebel army. Why the Fangfeng family supported the Five Kings, when or how they supported it, may not only be a coincidence, but may also have the guidance and planning of Hong Jiang and Xiang Liu.

Both Xiang Liu and Fang Feng Bei were determined to kill Cang Xuan in order to avoid future troubles and give Chen Rong's rebel army a chance to survive.

The second reason is that there is no one to succeed to the throne in Haoling Kingdom, and Haoling has no grudges against Chenrong's rebel army and will not take the initiative to destroy the rebel army. King Haoling only has two daughters . The eldest King Ji has been missing for many years and has not been heard from. The second daughter is spoiled and overbearing and has no intention of governing the country. King Haoling was not looking for a talented person to marry into his wife, so the successor to the throne was still undecided. Fortunately, King Haoling is still young, so he can slowly plan his succession. In addition, everyone knows that Cangxuan loves his sister. If Cangxuan cannot return to Xiyan to inherit the throne, the relationship between King Haoling and Cangxuan's master and apprentice is like a teacher and a father. If Cangxuan and Anian have been in love for a long time, they will be in love with each other. Yue, it is possible for Cangxuan to marry Anian and marry Haoling. By then, Xi Yan will be succeeded by the Five Kings, and Hao Ling will be succeeded by Cang Xuan. These two people are incompatible with each other, and it is impossible for them to cooperate to destroy Chenrong's rebel army. By then, a war between the two countries is about to break out. Chenrong 's rebel army can just watch the fire from across the bank , and there will be peace for a few years.

Reason three is that the Tushan people remain neutral. The Chenrong Rebel Army has been doing business with the Tushan clan for decades. The Tushan clan's rule is never to participate in politics, so the Chenrong Rebel Army's military aircraft and food problem can be solved. And without Tushan Fox mediating in politics, this factor would have little impact on the political situation.

The fourth reason is that the Central Plains is the buffer zone for the Chenrong Rebel Army. If Xi Yan wants to break through this buffer zone, it will still take a few years. If the new leaders (such as the Five Kings) make improper decisions, they may even lose the support of the Central Plains. At that time, the Rongyi Army will be able to regain the Central Plains.

Therefore, based on the above four points, under the current situation, there is a very high probability that the Chenrong Rebel Army will exist forever or even make a comeback, so Xiang Liu never slacks off in training and waits for opportunities.

Therefore, Xiang Liu had no intention of living toward death at that time. He had a strong desire and ability to live. At the same time, he also believed that he could protect Xiao Liuyi from death. According to Xiang Liu's calculations, it is absolutely feasible to stay with Xiao Liu for a lifetime, regardless of subjective conditions or objective circumstances. Therefore, it makes sense to give the two of them a home in Qingshui Town.

But Xiang Liu never expected that the biggest variable in the entire current situation would be King Haoling, Wen Xiaoliu, who wanted to stay with him for the rest of his life. Wen Xiaoliu left, and King Haoling returned to her throne. A game of chess can change the situation in an instant . From the moment Xiaoyao chose to restore her identity, she revived Cangxuan's dead end and forced Xiangliu and Chenrong's rebel army to a dead end. She also planted the lover's poison on Xiang Liu. For Xiang Liu, she really loved the wrong person, paid her heart to the wrong person, and could not take it back. If he continues to express his sincerity, Chenrong's rebel army will die. If he takes back his heart, the love poison will bite him back, and there will be no way out left and right. It's really a trick to Xiang Liu.

At the same time, Xiaoyao also gained her loyal fan Tu Shanjing , who helped Cangxuan rise to power. Through Fenglong's plan, Cangxuan skipped consolidating the Xiyan forces and directly attracted the Central Plains clan. This move made Chenrong's rebel army even more powerful. Impossible. Tu Shanjing is worthy of being the best chess player in Dahuang. One move can determine the outcome, and the abacus can jingle. Tu Shanjing killed four birds with one stone, helping Cangxuan's career (getting acquainted with the Central Plains clan, sending Fenglong's big treasure, and offering superior strategies), helped Fenglong's career, improved his relationship with Xiaoyao, and also attacked his own The thorn in the side (love rival) Xiang Liu. Tu Shanjing is definitely the first person to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger ! ! !

Xiaoyao returned to his throne, Cangxuan returned to Xiyan, Tushanjing helped Cangxuan, the Central Plains family Fenglong became Cangxuan's strategic partner, Cangxuan entered the Central Plains, this combination of punches has wiped out all the hopes that Chenrong's rebel army had. broken. A comeback is unlikely.

The abdication of King Xiyan, the marriage of Cangxuan, and the abdication of King Haoling are another combination of punches. All political crises have been resolved peacefully. Chenrong's rebel army did not wait for an opportunity to act, but waited for an opportunity. The pace of great unification . Unification means that the main contradiction of the current situation becomes "the annihilation of the Chenrong Rebel Army", which all accelerates the death of the Chenrong Rebel Army.

Think about it, from the current situation in Qingshui Town to the annihilation of Chen Rong’s rebel army 80 years later. The situation changed too quickly. No matter how Xiang Liu calculated, he could not predict how small the probability of this event would be. Mathematically, this is even considered an impossible event! The probability is 0! ! !

I couldn't help but want to ask Xiang Liu, "You're just kidding me!"

Combined with the angry scene when Xiang Liu heard that Xiao Liu was Gao Xin Jiu Yao , he drank and threw a glass, you can experience it firsthand. Why is Xiang Liu so angry? Because this is not only being deceived emotionally, but also ruining all Xiang Liu’s plans for himself, his lover, and the rebels! Destroying life!

Before Xiaoyao realized that she had feelings for Xiang Liu, she chose Cang Xuan rashly. In order for Cang Xuan to regain his identity, he actually pushed Xiang Liu into the abyss. If Xiaoyao thinks about the causes and consequences of these things after the novel ends, how can she feel at ease?

Therefore, the novel " Sauvignon Blanc " seems to have a happy ending for Xiaoyao, but in fact, the endings of everyone in it are very sad. Especially Xiang Liu Xiaoyao!

Homophone 2: Keep

"Keeping it" was probably Xiang Liu's last compromise. Many people said that in Xiang Liu's heart, Chen Rong's rebel army came first, and Xiao Yao was not Xiang Liu's first choice. I think it was Xiaoyao's choice that triggered Xiang Liu's ending and triggered Xiang Liu's repeated compromises. Xiang Liu made the biggest compromise for Xiao Yao. He put Xiao Yao in the first place and killed Cang Xuan before he could. The first time he killed Cangxuan, it was Xiang Liu who gave up on himself). Xiang Liu gave up the hope of giving Chen Rong's rebel army a chance of survival for Xiao Yao. Therefore, Xiang Liu believed that it would be a betrayal if he did not kill Cang Xuan, and it would be an even greater betrayal if he stayed with Xiaoyao. Therefore, he could not live an ignoble life, but could only die to clarify his ambition.

Finally, although the name "Baozhu" is very down-to-earth, it is very consistent with the naming style of Qingshui Town. It goes well with names such as Lao Mu, Mazi, and Chuanzi, and is not obtrusive at all. Being able to have such a name may be the common wish of Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao. They have similar destinies. What they long for most in their hearts is to live a free life. They can use the most ordinary name and the most ordinary identity to hide in the world and live in ordinary happiness. Perhaps only Xiang Liu himself knows the deep meaning of "Baozhu".

To sum up, the name Tong Hua chose is earthy, cultural and profound, which is great.

The word Lazy has been written many times.

I won't read too much into the use of the word 慵懒  lazily / leisurely, because it is not specific to Xiang Liu. In actuality, the novel only used it once for Xiang Liu and twice for Jing and once for Xiao Yao.

 blabla100:
Personally I don't belive the veil is unintentional, 

She had to wear hat with veil because she had had a flight with Ah Nian in the morning. There was bruise on her face. The veil is not important to influence her sight. That day she was very exhausted: swiming whole night before. flighting with her sister and very little sleep. This, she got very drunk on the boat. The she fell into sleep in Jing's arm for about 2 hours. 

I think everyone has their own interpretation. I think you believe that the similarit of the stage of hair (like floating) make she recall XL's hair and it made her heart beat faster. Other can just take direct meaning - She was impressed by Jing while she saw him like that. Anyway, she is obsessed with hair. TH is sneaky in writing, But let's respect every opinion. 

 blabla100:
but most importantly, when XY recalls that memory în chapter 26, she referrs to it as having place "în the ocean". Unless, ofc, the translation differs.

The actual text says this:

小夭已一年多没见过璟,看到他这样子,小夭保持着微笑,静静地站在西陵族长身后。还记得归墟海中,他扯落发冠时,她的心悸情动,也记得耳鬓厮磨时,她指间绕着他的发,一头青丝、满心情思。一切就好似昨日,却已是青丝染霜,情思断裂。
Xiao Yao had not seen Jing in over a year. Seeing him like this, Xiao Yao maintained her smile, quietly standing behind the Xiling clan leader. She still remembered at 
归墟 Guixu Sea, how her heart palpitated with emotion when he removed the coronet from his hair. She also remembered how she twirled his hair around her fingers as their heads leaned against each other, black hair filled with longing. Everything felt like only yesterday, but now the black hair was stained with white, the longing severed.

-- Vol 2 Ch9   (Chapter 26)

Note: 
** Guixu Sea refers to a location in Chinese mythology where all water, including the Milky Way, flows into a bottomless void. 

According to google, milky way is pure white.

"Astronomers at The University of Pittsburgh have been working to find an accurate answer as to the colour of the Milky Way Galaxy, finding it to be “a very pure white, almost mirroring a fresh spring snowfall”.

When I said she had a veil over her eyes, I wasn't actually thinking at it only in the literal sense. 

 H19279:
The drama shows his intent to empower her too: if she wanted something, she needed to earn it, not begging others. 

Here, I always feel that the drama improves on the book because everything Xiang Liu said to her in that scene reiterates his lessons to her - to not expect that help would always be available if she asked for it; to be strong enough that she need not be reliant on another person's whims, and be bold enough to reach out and get what she wants for her own life. Again, he is the only one among her suitors who chose to empower her so that she could be self-reliant, instead of waiting for someone else to do so.


 H19279:
Moreover, It is said that XL bought or own the house next to WXL's house in QS town where he and  XY stayed for 1 month after the marriage robbery. 

I would love to know how our poor as church mice military advisor could afford to buy the house they stayed in. The mysterious 宝柱 Bao Zhu must have taken on a fair number of assignments to cover the cost. But seriously, I believe this arrangement only took place after Xiao Liu left Qingshui Town for good. We don't have any indication from the novel how long it had been, but it definitely had been going on way before Xiang Liu brought Xiao Yao there, and would seems to indicate that he looked out for the Hui Chun Clinic family on Xiao Liu's behalf over the years.


 H19279:
So, I am quite curious about his original plan after the they successfully moved the bug from CX. For sure that he would respect WXL's choice. WXL would remain male form for some time or forever. What kind of relationship would it be? Friendship and Neighbour until he died together with Shen nong Army. Would he expect happier ending for himself? Did he already choose to die with Shen nong Army regardless WXL? Or he only make that decision after WXL become Princess? 

The original intent of moving the bug was very likely out of concern for Xiao Liu's safety, knowing as he did the real nature of the bug that was planted. I don't think though that he expected a happier ending for himself. He had been with the Shen Nong army long before before Xiao Yao even came into the picture, and he would never consider forsaking his brothers in arms, nor defile the memory of those he fought with and had to personally cremate. In her 2019 interview, Tong Hua described Xiang Liu's personal wish for himself as 尽忠尽义,战死沙场 - loyal and righteous to the end, dying on the battlefield.  So there is no question of abandoning the Shen Nong army. If Xiao Liu had remained as Xiao Liu, I believe he would still have made the same choice as he did in the end - watched over her until he no longer could before destroying the bug connection and restoring Ye Shiqi to her life. As for a place to go, if Xiao Liu stayed in Qingshui town which remained untouched by the outside world, it would still be her place of refuge.

 windiaaa041293:
Finally, although the name "Baozhu" is very down-to-earth

I don't know the chinese letter for Baozhu. Maybe Liddi knows. 

I think Bao can also mean Protect

Zhu (as you said): Pillar which support the house

So, Bao Zhu can imply XL considered himself as someone that other can rely on, as concrete protector for other

EDIT: @Liddi, I saw your post which contains the chinise letter for baozhu. I checked it and that Bao (宝) means precious not protection (保)

 liddi:
We don't have any indication from the novel how long it had been, but it definitely had been going on way before Xiang Liu brought Xiao Yao there, and would seems to indicate that he looked out for the Hui Chun Clinic family on Xiao Liu's behalf over the years.

If I remember correctly, on the drama, Jing said he arranged the care of Hui Chun Clinic family. (don't remember which eps). again, the drama production award hime sth more than he deserved

 H19279:

If I remember correctly, on the drama, Jing said he arranged the care of Hui Chun Clinic family. (don't remember which eps)

In the novel, it happened when Xiao Yao went to Qingqiu to thrash things out with Jing after leaving Qingshui town post-wedding (Vol 2 Ch16  / Chapter 33). Jing told Xiao Yao he kept an eye on them and even told Lao Mu on his deathbed that Xiao Liu was fine.

Nonetheless, Xiang Liu seemed to be neighbours of Hui Chun clinic as the mysterious Bao Zhu (I cannot imagine him risking any one else of the army to make such arrangements), and should have been for some time. So it would appear that he might have been watching over them too.

I was wondering if anyone knows the meaning behind "The dream of the red chamber"? I tried google, but can't really understand much of it.
