Fang Guan, originally one of the twelve female dramatists in Lixiang Temple, bought from Gu Su, was originally surnamed Hua. Later, when the drama team was dismissed, some of them did not want to leave and became the rings in each room. Fang Guan also stayed, and she was very lucky to be assigned to the best department, Yi Hong Yuan.
And even more fortunately, the fangguan with outstanding appearance and open temperament, as soon as he arrived at Yihong Courtyard, was favored by Jia Baoyu, and soon became the most favored Yahuan, and for a while, even Qingwen attacked people and other senior people were compared.
Fangguan is from Gusu, has no relatives in Jia Province, and once upon a time in Lixiangyuan, singing and practicing opera occupied almost all of his life, which was very monotonous. The dramatists have a very difficult life, their status is low, and the material and spiritual aspects are relatively barren. No matter how well the opera is sung, in the eyes of the world, it is still only the lower nine streams, and even the yahuan is not comparable. Only when he arrived at Yihong Courtyard could Fangguan release his nature, like a fish in the water, and bloom with full of vitality and youth.
The relationship between Fangguan and Baoyu is very good. Also because of Baoyu's kindness, the rest of the Yihong Courtyard also took care of it and accommodated the Fangguan. However, Fangguan did not have any friends in Yihong Courtyard, although they got along day and night, talking and laughing all day, but they were not particularly close to anyone. It is reasonable to say that the closest relationship with Fangguan is her mother-in-law He Baozi, but they are even more unwelcome with each other, and even have a long-standing grudge. He Pozi took Fangguan's money, but used the water left by his daughter to wash Fangguan's hair, and Fangguan was angry, but also caused a farce.
The best relationship with Fangguan is the mother and daughter of Liu's sister-in-law in the small kitchen.
Sister-in-law Liu wants to send her daughter to Yihong Courtyard, but she has selfish intentions, but she has no way out. For the Yahuan of Yihong Courtyard, she is particularly stubborn, as long as the girl of Yihong Courtyard comes to the kitchen, there will always be special enthusiasm, plus extra discounts, which is something that is not to be thought of in other departments.
Liu sister-in-law's flattery of the people, not only Fangguan, such as Qingwen, to eat reeds, Liu sister-in-law excitedly asked meat fried chicken stir-fry, the service is quite in place, so that people in other departments are hungry and jealous. Moreover, Fangguan was a later, and the sweetness she tasted, Qingwen and others had already tasted.
Although the other Yahuan also got more or less benefits, Liu Sister-in-law's daughter Wu'er still looked at it with her eyes and could not enter the Yihong Courtyard. It can be seen that although they have gained benefits, the Yahuan of The Yihong Courtyard is not serious about doing things, or rather, they feel that this is a matter of course, and the people around Baoyu can't touch the light of the master wherever they go? What's more, pulling gangs and factions does not have much substantial benefit to themselves. Attacking people and other people will not do it, and Qingwen is even more disdainful.
Fang Guan did not come long ago, but he got involved with Liu's sister-in-law's mother and daughter.
Sister-in-law Liu must have also taken out the previous road number, gave Fang Guan some benefits, spoke earnestly and enthusiastically, and bloomed a kind smile in the fireworks.
Compared with the mean, selfish, and rarely cared for Fangguan of his own mother, at this moment, he let down his guard and was no longer crazy, but like a naïve child, after becoming familiar with Liu Sister-in-law, there were comings and goings. It can be said that the small kitchen is a favorite place for Fangguan in addition to Yihong Courtyard. In both places, there are people who will take her. Bao Yu spoiled her and admired her, and Liu Sister-in-law was even more holding her, cautious, but not lacking in warmth.
What is true and what is false, no one can distinguish better than themselves. How much truth there is in it, learning to sing opera, and fangguan who has experienced the world are naturally easier to distinguish. And Sister-in-law Liu's age is about the same age as her mother, right? In fact, there is no shortage of Fangguan in Yihong Courtyard, but Yihong Courtyard is after all a rich nest, and Liu Sister-in-law's small kitchen is more grounded, and Liu Sister-in-law, who is full of smiles, may remind her of her hometown relatives and feel very kind. Therefore, although she also enjoyed those benefits with peace of mind, she also interacted with Sister-in-law Liu, not like Qingwen, who ate and ate.
There is no free lunch in the world, and there is naturally a reason why Sister-in-law Liu is so obedient to the people of Yihong Courtyard. She has a sick and sick daughter, Wu'er, who has not been on an errand. She wanted to get her daughter into Yihong Courtyard, the number of people was light, there was silver to earn, medical treatment was guaranteed, and in the future she could go to slavery and get freedom. The parents' love for their children is far-reaching, and Liu Wu'er is also strong in heart and wants to reduce the burden on the family. The mother and daughter's intention to enter the Yihong Courtyard was so strong, which was also the reason for Liu Sister-in-law and Fangguan to get together.
Sister-in-law Liu has selfish hearts, but she also has a delusional heart. For the sake of her sick daughter, she doesn't care how much she pays, whether it's useful or not, try it first.
And Fang Guan is not selfless, she consciously received the weight of Baoyu, and it is not a matter of a word to get someone in? It's so simple, why not? What's more, Sister-in-law Liu also changes her tricks all day long to make delicious food for herself. This kind of treatment, she had rarely enjoyed before.
Fangguan wanted the pastries in Xiao Cicada's hand to eat, but Xiao Cicada refused, and Liu Sister-in-law immediately came to take her own food for Fangguan; the food prepared by Liu Sister-in-law for Fangguan was also rich and nutritious: there were shrimp balls chicken skin soup, wine stuffed duck, rouge goose breast, cream pine roll crisp, fragrant rice japonica rice. It was really very hard to think about it, Fang Guan was already tired, and he also said wildly: "Greasy and greasy, who eats these things!" ”
Although Fangguan has interests with the mother and daughter of the Liu family, it is not an innocent emotion. But looking at Jia Province, how many people's emotions are unconditional, is it true? After accepting The Favor of Sister-in-law Liu, Fang Guan also said again and again that he would get Wu'er in. In this way, not only have you repaid the favor, but also have an extra companion, why not enjoy it?
Fang Guan and Liu Wu'er also have a sisterly friendship. Fangguan does not only receive favors and do not know how to reciprocate. Bao Yu ate the leftover rose dew, Fang Guan asked for it, did not think about himself, nor did he think about the drama of singing with her, but it was for Liu Wu'er. Fang Guan probably felt that Liu Wu'er was weak, and eating some good things would always be beneficial. Therefore, he hurriedly sent it to Liu Wu'er. Came to the small kitchen, gossiped with Liu's sister-in-law's mother and daughter, and asked Liu Wu'er about her physical condition, and after Liu Wu'er sent her out, the two talked for a while. Liu Wu'er was worried about her work, after all, she could not enter the Yihong Courtyard for a long time, and she was also a little discouraged. And Fang Guan patiently explained to her, relieved her heart.
The text said, "After Liu Wu'er returned, he and his mother deeply thanked Fangguan for their affection. The mother and daughter of the Liu family are also very grateful, even if Fangguan has left, they are still talking about the benefits of Fangguan. Later, when she got a pack of poria cream, she also immediately thought of Fangguan, and busied herself with a pack, and Liu Wu'er took advantage of the dusk to send it to Yihong Courtyard, not willing to delay at all. Isn't this a courtesy exchange?
Unfortunately, when Liu Wu'er returned home, she was arrested as a thief and interrogated, and when Fang Guan heard about this, she was shocked and sent to her by herself. Such a reaction also shows that Fang Guan really cares about Liu Wu'er, afraid that she will be wronged.
Although Fangguan and the mother and daughter of the Liu family met at first, in their contact with each other and in their exchanges, they showed the beauty and warmth of human nature, which was closer than many sisters and mothers and daughters in Jia Fu. Liu's sister-in-law, who has a heart and a scheming heart, is bitterly lonely for her daughter, but she has no heart, and she has a big grin and is not liked by people, but she has left her most lovely side to the mother and daughter of the Liu family. As the lowest people, they give each other warm hope and life is better.
Although the later ending was not satisfactory, Liu Wu'er died, Liu's sister-in-law's life also lost its color, And Fangguan entered the nunnery to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, no longer the lawless, heartless girl who had no heart and no lungs. In the cold, desolate second half of his life, what will FangGuan think of, is it a distant hometown, or the prosperity of yihong courtyard flowers? Or is it the small stove that Liu's sister-in-law opened for her in the small kitchen, or the promise she made to Liu Wu'er?
Maybe at some point, Fang Guan will especially miss the food that Liu Sister-in-law has made, and will also mourn for the sister who died early. That's a rare ray of sunshine in her life, right? Although their encounter was accidental, and their interaction was not simple, but in the days of Jia Fu, they were equal and sincere, and they never calculated on each other, and such a relationship was also precious.
