In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Xue Baochao is chatting with the attacker, talking about helping Baoyu do needlework, when he suddenly hears the old woman report that "Jin Jun'er jumped into the well and died".
The attackers were shocked and wept, but Xue Baochao hurried to Madame Wang's place, in the name of comfort, and practiced flattery.
Why did Xue Baochao rush to stir up this "muddy water" at this time?
Although Jin Jun'er committed suicide, the cause of death is unknown, and gossip in Jia Fu is widely spread.
Madame Wang publicly reprimanded Jin Jun'er and dismissed Jin Jun'er in a stern and harsh manner, which was undoubtedly equivalent to cutting off Jin Jun'er's last life as a "good family woman" in the environment at that time.
Jin Jun'er and Baoyu didn't really have anything to do, just a few words of ridicule.
However, the people did not know the real reason, and they deduced from the serious results that they could only conclude that "Jin Jun'er was not innocent" or "Jia Baoyu's attempted rape" (what Jia Huan said when he informed Jia Zheng).
The matter involves confidentiality, human life, and Madame Wang is an important negative role in it.
From the perspective of conventional logic, Mrs. Wang must not want any third party to know about this matter.
Xue Baochao should have pretended not to know, so why did he rush forward instead?
What does Madame Wang care most about?
Care about Baoyu's reputation.
Whether Baoyu "cheats" with which girl, Madame Wang does not really care, what she cares about is to make everyone think that Baoyu is an innocent and courteous family prince.
If something terrible happens, what Madame Wang needs to do is to resolve the unfavorable public opinion about Baoyu and maintain his positive image.
Xue Baochao went online at this time, playing the image of a "general house" who is not jealous, not jealous, and actively helps solve problems.
Madame Wang naturally knows that Baoyu has a lot of thoughts about beautiful girls, and naturally can predict that Baoyu will have countless debts and endless lace news in the future.
Baoyu's future wife, if she quarrels with Baoyu because of this and uses the prestige of her mother's family to embarrass Baoyu, I am afraid that it will be the scene that Madame Wang is most afraid of seeing.
So what is the attitude behind Xue Baochao's words?
On the surface, jin Jun'er may just accidentally fall into a well, saying "a confused person who is not cherished enough", saying that Madame Wang or Xue Baochao or both sides know that it is a lie, but in fact, it is a statement from this.
She Xue Baochao does not care about what kind of complicated stories Baoyu and other girls have, and will firmly stand on the same position as your Lady Wang to maintain Baoyu's decency.
In other words, Xue Baochao's move is equivalent to giving a guarantee in disguise: I am not such an ignorant person;
Husband and wife as one, one glory and one loss, will resolutely safeguard the reputation and interests of Baoyu.
Therefore, Xue Baochao took the initiative to provide clothes and support "not too much silver", which can also be regarded as entering the role of "Baoyu Young Grandmother" in advance and accompanying Madame Wang to clean up the aftermath.
This is not so much her intimate moment as Madame Wang's aunt and nephew, but rather this is the moment of her loyalty to her "future daughter-in-law" identity.
The innocent and tragic death of the flower girl was used by her as a stepping stone for her career, and a good hand of cards made people chill.
