Lady Wang was the second wife of rongguofu and was also recognized as the head of the house, she was born in the Jinling royal family, and she was not much more honorable than the eldest wife, Lady Xing.
When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, the Zhou Rui family once said that we were no better here than we were five years ago. Now the wife is not very concerned, and she is the housekeeper of Grandma Lian'er.
That is to say, five years ago, the entire Rongguo Mansion was still Lady Wang's housekeeper, according to the age of Wang Xifeng and Sister Qiao, at this time, she obviously had not yet married Jia Lian, and when Sister Feng married over, because she was her own niece, plus she was nearly middle-aged, Lady Wang then handed over the stewardship to Sister Feng.
Grandma Liu's impression of Madame Wang was also more profound, saying that when she was still the second miss of the Wang family, she was really loud and fast, and she would treat people, but she did not take it big. The family is good, belongs to the marriage of the four major families, has strong ability, and is generous, which is probably the main reason why Madame Wang can take over the stewardship from Jia Mu.
Therefore, Grandma Liu also said that Lady Wang, who married into Jia Province, is now older, more and more pitiful to the poor and the elderly, and loves the monks the most. From this point of view, Madame Wang is a generous and benevolent noblewoman who eats and prays to the Buddha.
But what is incomprehensible is that why such a Lady Wang would give a cruel hand to Jin Jun'er and Qingwen? Not only did she hurt her fierce hand, she simply hated these squirrels to the bone, and identified them as little prostitutes and fox spirits who seduced their grandfathers.
Why did Madame Wang, who had always eaten and prayed to the Buddha, have such a vicious demonic side? Is her eating and chanting of the Buddha all in disguise? Or, as many fans say, he is a hypocrite himself?
To find out the true face of Madame Wang, we score two aspects.
If you read the Red Chamber carefully, you will find that as long as it does not involve her son Jia Baoyu, Madame Wang is indeed a kind and generous noblewoman. The original text also said that Although Madame Wang was a generous and benevolent person, she had never beaten the servants.
Although Jin Jun'er was driven out, she had no problem serving at Madame Wang's side for more than ten years, which was enough to prove that Madame Wang was indeed a master under leniency.
We can even imagine that after Baoyu was born, Lady Wang's sidekicks such as Jin Jun'er and others often joked with Baoyu, and even Baoyu ate the rouge on the mouths of Baoyu from time to time, but at that time Baoyu was still small, so even if Lady Wang knew, she probably would not scold Baoyu, only when Baoyu was naughty.
Liu Grandma entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, And Madame Wang was also very generous, directly gifting one hundred and two pieces of silver, you know, this silver is equivalent to Lady Wang's monthly routine of half a year, enough for Liu Grandma's family of five to live for five years! Madame Wang also instructed her not to turn to relatives and friends in the future.
With such a great act of goodness, can you say that Madame Wang is a hypocrite? Of course not. Grandma Liu's evaluation of her is pertinent, and she is indeed a person who pities the poor and the weak. Of course, this is Madame Wang's attitude as a noblewoman in the face of the poor people at the bottom.
Even in the face of Jia Rui, a descendant of Jia Fu who has no end, when he is seriously ill, he wants to eat du ginseng soup, Jia Dairu came to Rong Mansion to ask Lady Wang, and Lady Wang let Sister Feng weigh two or two to him, and said that this side is gone, you can go to the East House to find some over, eat well, save people's lives, it is also your benefit.
There is a comment here: Lady Wang's kindness is what it is. Irrelevant people, Madame Wang is still so kind, not to mention the servants and servants who serve around her.
This is Madame Wang in daily life, she is not only not cruel, but also very kind and kind, with compassion. But when the person she was facing had something to do with her son, she was no longer calm.
Why was Madame Wang so cruel that she drove away Jin Jun'er, who had served her for more than ten years, and drove her away? Because she suddenly had an ominous premonition, Bao Yu grew up, and these beards also grew up, and the verbal laughter between them was no longer as simple as when she was a child, but had the meaning of the wind and moon of male and female love, which she could not tolerate.
The deeper reason, of course, is not that Lady Wang hates Jin Jun'er Qingwen, she is a noble lady, it is impossible to be angry with the beards around her, but the rapid ascension of Aunt Zhao, and even the act of trespassing, has become the most cruel thing in her life.
At the beginning, Aunt Zhao, probably by virtue of her beautiful appearance, took advantage of Lady Wang's lack of preparation and smoothly ascended to the throne as an aunt. Therefore, the relationship between Jin Jun, Qingwen and others with Baoyu could not but make Madame Wang highly vigilant.
For Mrs. Wang, she used to hate the women who looked good to seduce her husband in the past, and now she hated the women who looked good and seduced her son.
Therefore, when she cleaned up the beards around Bao Yu, she not only drove Qingwen out, but all those who looked good and sharp, such as Fang Guan, Si'er, and others, were also thrown out together. Madame Wang's words exposed her heart for many years, and she said: If I have a treasure jade, I can rest assured that you will not be able to seduce and spoil it!
When eating and praying to the Buddha, Madame Wang was a noble lady who pitied the poor and the weak. But when dealing with things about her son, Madame Wang is also a mother full of barbs, and whoever has ill intentions to approach Baoyu, she will take care of them with a fierce hand. For the safety of her son, even if she killed three thousand by mistake, she could not spare one.
Of course, Madame Wang's confusion lies in the fact that she listened to and believed, wronged Qingwen and others, and caused them to die tragically, but for Madame Wang, was she really confused? Not necessarily. For her, no matter whether those ladies seduced Baoyu or not, the existence of Aunt Zhao always reminded her that those who were too beautiful and clever could not stay, and the best way was to drive them all away to avoid future troubles.
After all, she was also the head of the house who once managed a house, and Mrs. Wang, who looked like a wood, usually although she ate and prayed to the Buddha and did not ask about family affairs, in fact, she knew better than anyone that there were means to do things.
