Jia Mu treasured two precious cloaks: The Silk Fur and the Bird Golden Fur. After Xue Baoqin came, he found out, first gave Baoqin qiu, and then gave Bao Jinqiu to Baoyu.
There have always been readers who argue that Jia Mu has nothing not to give to Lin Daiyu. But he ignored another interesting question, that is, why did Jia Mu give Xue Baoqin a jingqiu instead of a bird's gold qiu?
It is certain that the preciousness of the qiu and the finch is basically equal. Jammu said, "This is called 'Sparrow Gold', and this is the thread that Oh Ras Country has woven with peacock feathers." The former gave that piece of wild duck to your little sister, this one for you... That's all that's left, and you've been trampled on and gone. This is not something that can be done for you. ”
The bird's nest and the silken fur are imported from "Russia", and the process is relatively special. After the que jin qiu burned out, Qingwen said that the weaving technique was "boundary line", and the female red of the Jia family was considered to be powerful, but only Qingwen would "boundary line". The craftsmen outside did not dare to take on the work of repairing the golden fur for whatever purpose.
From the outside, although there are differences between The Qiu And the Golden Fur, they are both golden and brilliant, so that Xiang Ling mistakenly recognized the Qiu Qiu as a peacock thread at first sight.
So, since the two are so similar, why didn't Jia Mu give The Bird Golden Fur to Xue Baoqin and the Qiu Jing Qiu to Jia Baoyu?
In fact, the answer is not in the preciousness of the two clothes, but in the two names of "Qiu Jing Qiu and Que Jin Qiu" and the raw materials of the clothes.
For Jammu, both pieces of clothing are her treasures, regardless of each other. Which one to give to Xue Baoqin and Jia Baoyu is the same.
The reason why jia jingqiu is given to Baoqin and quejinqiu to baoyu is not to reflect the distinction between Jia Mu's original intentions, but the author's deliberate borrowing of two pieces of clothing to "set up a lawsuit", so that readers can understand Jia Mu's attitude and position that jia mu cannot declare.
Aunt Xue brought her children to the Jia family to live and stopped leaving. And soon exposed his ambitions to plot a golden and jade marriage. Jia Mu was very dissatisfied with the Xue family's behavior.
Although the Xue family is one of the four major families. But compared with the Jia family, it is very different.
Jia Mugui was the lady of the Rongguo Gong, but Xue Baochao was only a merchant's daughter. To use an inappropriate analogy, the distance between them is even greater than that of Wang Xifeng and the peasant girl. Because although the merchants had money at that time, their social status was not much higher than that of the peasants' daughters.
Jia Mu Rongguo ordered lady to marry the daughter of a merchant like Xue Baochao at all. I also don't want to be the laughing stock of the powerful people in the capital.
The reason why Lady Wang agreed was that she was Xue Baochao's aunt and had selfish intentions; second, Lady Wang's social status was too far behind that of Jia Mu, and it was not difficult to accept the merchant's daughter psychologically.
Jia Mu did not agree with Xue Baochao as her granddaughter-in-law, and even more disgusted that the Xue family was rude and did not leave the Jia family. It's like if the guests you don't like stay at home and want to marry into your house will only become more and more "annoying".
However, Jia Mu's identity, status, cultivation and honor all determined that she could not be like Wang Xifeng, who was "shrewd", and her dissatisfaction could only be expressed euphemistically.
Therefore, we saw that when Aunt Xue connived at Jia Baoyu to get drunk and wanted to chase away the grandmother, she took away the "wrong" big girl Xi Xue to warn Aunt Xue.
Jia Mu took the initiative to give Xue Baochao Zhang Luo and Zhen's birthday, but only "cut the door" and gave twenty-two pieces of silver, as much as sending Liu Grandma.
When Xue Baochao complimented her for being better than Wang Xifeng, Jia Mu said bluntly, "Much stronger than your aunt."
Seeing Xue Baochao's "snow cave" general room, Jia Mu rarely criticized it severely, leaving no trace of affection, and said bluntly that "it is not in accordance with the rules and is unlucky."
After Xue Baoqin came, Jia Mu showed unusual love and directly "beat her sister Xue Baochao into the cold palace"...
The significance of the appearance of Qiu Jingqiu and Que Jinqiu at this time is that the author "Qiaoli Mingmu" borrowed two pieces of clothing to show Jia Mu's true views and positions on Xue Baochao and the Xue family.
Jia Mu did not hate Xue Baochao, she was disgusted by the Xue family's inadequacy in plotting a good marriage between Jin Yu and Jia Baoyu, and the mismatch between Xue Baochao and Jia Baoyu.
As a result, Qiu Jingqiu and Que Jinqiu have become very good mediums for readers to see at a glance.
Cao Xueqin designed Jia Mu to give Xue Baoqin and Jia Baoyu. It was to promote the true thoughts in her heart:
First, the daughters of the Xue family are all wild servants, and they are not right with the Jia family.
Second, Jia Baoyu was born noble, like a peacock, not worthy of a wild.
Jia Mu also said that it was "wild duck". Collect the emerald green fluff on the face of the wild duck's head and weave it, and the harmonic sound is "wild yatou".
Shi Xiangyun later said the answer in place of Jia Mu: "This duck head is not the head, and there is osmanthus oil on the head."
Finches are woven from peacock feathers. Representing nobility and richness, it is the embodiment of Jia Baoyu's superior origin.
The wild duck represents the daughter of the Xue family with a low birth, and the peacock represents the prince of Rong Guofu with a high birth.
Although the qiu and the golden fur are precious, the essential difference cannot be crossed.
Qiu Jingqiu and Que Jinqiu succinctly explained Jia Mu's views on the Xue family's daughter and Jin Yuliang's marriage in her heart, that is, they were not a good match.
Therefore, Qiu Jingqiu could only give Xue Baoqin, referring to Xue Baochao. Que Jinqiu could only give it to Jia Baoyu. It cannot be exchanged, nor can it be worn by Lin Daiyu and others. It belongs to Cao Xueqin's foreshadowing specially tailored for Jin Yuliang's marriage.
