When Jia Baoyu was born, he had a piece of jade in his mouth, so the Jia family named him Baoyu. This jade has never left the jade body. Many times, when Baoyu was angry, he said he wanted to smash the jade, but was stopped by others because everyone thought this jade was magical and used for protection. The golden lock worn by Xue Baochai is also called Yingluo in "A Dream of Red Mansions". There are two versions of the origin of this golden lock in Cao Gong's writings: the first version, in the section of Xue Baochai's Xiaochaolixiangyuan in Chapter 8 of "A Dream of Red Mansions", is the first time this golden lock appeared on the stage. The reason is that Xue Baochai wanted to see Baoyu's psychic jade through the name of the scene, and Baoyu also wanted to see Baochai's golden lock after she finished it. After reading it, Baoyu said that the eight characters on Baochai's lock and the characters on his psychic jade "are a pair." At this time, Baochai's personal maid Ying'er smiled and said: "It was a gift from a leprous monk. He said It must be chiseled on gold.” Everyone, please note that what Ying'er is talking about here is the eight characters on the golden lock of Baochai, not the golden lock. Because it has to be chiseled on a gold vessel, it should not be a gold lock (it is already gold, so why do it need to be chiseled on a gold vessel?). Moreover, before Baoyu looked at the gold lock, Baochai himself said: "That's right. I personally gave them two auspicious words and had them chiselled, telling me to carry them with me every day, otherwise what’s the point of being so heavy?” The second version: In the 28th chapter of “Dream of Red Mansions”, in the section where Xue Baochai is shamefully caged with a red musk deer, Baochai's mother once mentioned to Mrs. Wang and others in the past that "the golden lock was given by a monk, and we can only marry someone with jade in the future." Why are there two versions of the origin of the same gold lock? This involves the different psychology of Xue's mother and daughter at different times. First of all, when this first version came out, it was the time when Baochai was waiting for the draft girl. Although the Jia family was also a wealthy and powerful family, how could it compare to the dignity of the royal family? Therefore, the origin of the golden lock is the most true at this time, because Baochai is very likely to be chosen at this time (or Aunt Xue and others really hope that she can be chosen to enter the palace and ascend to heaven). There is no need to make up any "need to have something". Lies like “Only jade can be used for marriage”. Who knows if the emperor has jade? hehe. Wouldn't it be self-defeating if he really got chosen? And when the second version of Aunt Xue came out, the situation was already very different. First of all, Xue Baochai was not selected (the gift given to her by Yuanchun was the same as Baoyu). (Has the courage to put the emperor's future concubine together with his own brother), secondly, Yuanchun rose from an ordinary female official to the rank of virtuous concubine (according to the ancient system, this is already a high position as one of the four concubines), The Jia family's holy family is booming (at least Aunt Xue will definitely think so), and the Jia family's wealth is flourishing. Since Xue Baochai can't become the imperial concubine, she won't lose as the future head of the Jia family. Third, the reward of the Yuan Chun Lantern Festival - of course, this may also be mutual causation, that is, first Aunt Xue and others boasted in front of Mrs. Wang about the magical origin of Baochai's lock, and that Baoyu's jade was made in heaven, and then let Mrs. Wang passed these to Yuan Chun, and then Yuan Chun expressed his attitude through the festival: he agreed. And Yuanchun's supportive attitude invisibly gave Xue and her daughter more confidence
