Xiaohong, the handmaiden of Yihong Courtyard, was the first person in "Dream of the Red Chamber" to say that "a long shed is built in a thousand miles, and there is no feast that does not disperse". Her words were more direct and clear than Qin Keqing's dream after his death, "After the three springs are gone, each of them must find their own doors."
Xiaohong had long been worried about "scattering", so she took the initiative to plan and try everything to find a way out for her future. Her "scatter" has two meanings:
First, the servants of the Jia family were forced to be released to marry when they were old, and the target was the small squatters of the Jia family.
The ladies always have a scatter, and they need to think of a way out early. Avoid being arbitrarily designated by the owner when the time comes. This is the main meaning of Xiaohong, Lin Daiyu's understanding of "scatter" is similar to Xiaohong.
Second, no one guarantees that the Jia family can be able to live for thousands of generations. The birth of a slave to a family is affected by the rise and fall of the master. The master is happy, they are good, the master is dead, and they are finished.
Xiaohong crisis consciousness wants to find a good origin for herself, to get rid of the fate of slaves who are manipulated by others, and does not want to make such a great achievement like Jiao Da of Ningguo Province, and she will still be a slave when she is old.
Jiao Daben had the opportunity to rely on himself, but he did not know how to seize the opportunity, and he would fall into his old age and be unable to help himself.
Xiaohong is anxious about the affairs behind her, bent on breaking free from the shackles of the slave family's children, and there is "ambition" among the slaves, many people can't think of these, and they will be muddy for a lifetime.
Xiaohong has a heart, and when Jia Baoyu moves into the Yihong Courtyard she manages, she thinks that the opportunity has come.
If she can get close to Jia Baoyu and be appreciated, become a big maid and then become a concubine and aunt, Xiaohong will no longer be a slave.
Although the aunt is still a "half master and half slave", the advantage is that she can have children, and the family status and future are hopeful.
To this end, Xiao Hong racked her brains to get close to Jia Baoyu, but the eight big girls and eight little girls were all looking at each other, and the needle could not be pierced.
Baoyu's side was tightly sealed, and she couldn't find the opportunity to go to the study to try her luck, and she didn't want to meet Jia Yun, who came to visit Jia Baoyu, and also gave her the opportunity to get close to Jia Baoyu.
The young man said, "I can hardly say that." There is just one sentence back to the second master: Yesterday there was a yun'er who came to find the second master. I thought that the second master could not be empty, so I asked Bao Ming to return to him, and told him to get up early this morning, not wanting the second master to go to the North Mansion again. ”
Xiaohong's transmission to Jia Yun is false, and approaching Jia Baoyu is true. Her purpose is simple and clear, that is, to give herself a future.
However, Xiao Hong looked at the defensiveness of the servants around Jia Baoyu. As soon as she appeared, she was scratched by qiu wen and bi marks, and suppressed on the spot. Let her fold the sand and completely die of this heart that took Jia Baoyu's shortcut.
Jia Baoyu's road was not passable, and Xiaohong was once disheartened. Not wanting to "willow dark flowers and bright villages", Jia Yun's appearance once again made her ignite her fighting spirit. If she can marry Jia Yun, she can also become the master.
Therefore, Xiaohong borrowed a handkerchief to connect inside and outside, and had a "private affair" with Jia Yun.
Moreover, Yihong Courtyard had no place for Xiaohong to stand, and she did not want to waste time continuing to stay. Just when Wang Xifeng handed over an olive branch at this time, Xiaohong seized the opportunity to perform well, and was appreciated by Wang Xifeng to come to her side and became a "deacon's servant".
Don't underestimate the cascade of operations of Xiaohong. She chose three goals for herself: Jia Baoyu, Jia Yun, and Wang Xifeng.
Jia Yun is temporarily unrealistic, Jia Baoyu has no hope, and Wang Xifeng is her biggest surprise. Her side was hit, and she was able to quickly sort out her mood without dragging mud and water, which showed the true color of the scarf.
After Xiaohong followed Wang Xifeng, she disappeared without a trace, because of her identity as a deacon's handmaiden.
The Jia family's servants are divided into many kinds, the first class is the deacon's servant, the second class is the servant who serves the master, and the third class is the rough servant.
Therefore, Lady Xing said of the Mandarin Duck: "Don't talk about the Mandarin Duck, it is the big men of those deacons, who wouldn't want this!" ”
The deacon in front of Jia Fu's family is the one who has the right and status. The servant who serves the master only follows the master's face. The status of the deacon is not as good as that of the deacon.
The deacons follow the master to manage the affairs, and most of them marry well in the future and will be cultivated as the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper. These people like Lai Everyone and Lin Zhixiao's family must have been deacons back then!
Xiaohong's opportunity was created by her father Lin Zhixiao for the seventy-second time. Lin Zhixiao proposed that the Jia family should lay off employees, and Xiaohong would definitely leave the Jia family without hesitation and restore her freedom. At that time, she and Jia Yun also had the capital to talk about marriage.
Xiaohong and Jia Yun work together under Wang Xifeng's hands, and they will already determine their feelings and not change their future.
Xiaohong, also known as Lin Hongyu, is only one word away from Lin Daiyu. Cao Xueqin's naming of her in this way is undoubtedly an allusion to Lin Daiyu. Xiaohong's hidden worries about the future are also Lin Daiyu's hidden worries about the future.
However, Xiaohong has the ability and space to plan ahead, but Lin Daiyu does not have it at all.
It is also a handkerchief romance, and the "Red Lady" and Qingwen are both taken away. The fall was unharmed, but Qingwen screamed for her life. This also determines the outcome of their respective marriages.
Cao Xueqin wrote about Lin Hongyu and Jia Yun, which is also a "marriage of wood and stone". Just like the raider and Jiang Yuhan, both are demonstrations of another result of Bao Dai's marriage.
In any case, Xiaohong made efforts to plan ahead and take her life into her own hands, which Lin Daiyu could not do.
Look at the ending of Xiaohong, you can know that people will win the day!
