When the Ningguo Mansion was made into a miasma by Jia Zhen, and only the two stone lions at the door were clean; when there were frequent scandals in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu also said that "everyone in the world has fought like this since childhood"; when the Xue family's servants pinched the flowers and grass in the Grand View Garden and were still righteous, when the Xue family's mother-in-law played with money in the Grand View Garden, the "four major families" in "Dream of the Red Chamber" who are known as the family of poetry and etiquette have nothing to do with good upbringing.
The masters do whatever they want, the people have learned from them, and the so-called "godson has a good way" has long become a joke.
Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied because Li Feng had twice as much money per month as himself; Jia Yu was unwilling because his mother was partial to his brother's family, and he hit his mother's handmaiden with his heart; Jia Lian took advantage of his wife's birthday to eat a banquet and brought his wife home for fun; Madame Wang fought with her mother-in-law, bent on replacing her mother-in-law and becoming the real family member of the family...
For a bowl of steamed tofu, a bowl of egg soup, a bottle of rose dew, a packet of jasmine powder, a few flowers and plants, noisy and noisy, in order to become a young master's concubine-to-be, they beat their teeth and mouths. The housekeepers and daughters-in-law tried to find it difficult for the young grandmother and the young lady who was in charge of the house; for one or two fat differences, they fought openly and secretly.
Borrowing the Xue family who lived in Jia Province, on the surface claimed that "all expenses were waived", but in fact, Ying'er would still feel that she had picked the flowers and plants of the Grand View Garden, which was a matter of course, and it was her own share, and she also easily provoked Chunyan's mother and beat Chunyan. The mother-in-law of the Xue family did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and became the most important "head family" of the Grand View Garden.
At this time, Jia Fu has still become a thorny land full of crises, and dangers may occur at any time, and unexpected things may happen at any time.
However, it is a little gratifying that there is still a piece of pure land in the Grand View Garden. Nothing bad has ever happened here.
This piece of pure land is Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Although, when Lin Daiyu entered Beijing from Yangzhou, she only brought a handmaiden snow goose and a wet nurse, Grandma Wang, but these three people showed the excellent upbringing of the Lin family to the fullest. Not only were they strict with themselves, but they even influenced this style to influence the other slaves sent to XiaoxiangGuan in Jia Fuzhong. The whole Xiaoxiang Pavilion has become a most cultured place.
The thirty-sixth time, Xue Baochao grinned and went straight to the Yihong Courtyard, completely disregarding that the owner of the Yihong Courtyard was taking a nap; on the twenty-sixth time, when Jia Baoyu came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu was also taking a nap, but Jia Baoyu was blocked by Xiaoxiangguan's mother-in-law: "Sister sleeps, wait until she wakes up." ”
Even if Lin Daiyu had woken up, the mother-in-law, led by Daiyu's wet nurse Grandma Wang, refused to give Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu a chance to get along alone, and busily called Zi Juan: "The girl is awake and comes in to serve." ”
Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu grew up together, "eating at one table and sleeping in one bed", but when they were young. Now that they are all older, they should naturally avoid suspicion. Therefore, Grandma Wang did not allow Jia Baoyu to stay alone in Lin Daiyu's room, and they wanted to let Zi Juan stay by Daiyu's side at all times.
Just this point, the Lin family's upbringing was much higher than that of the Jia family and the Xue family. From this detail, we can also read out why Xiaoxiangguan can become the only pure land in Jia Province.
Because the good upbringing of the Lin family has still been continued and carried forward in Jia Province, even if Dai Yu, Xue Yan and Grandma Wang, who have been in the thorny bush of Jia House for many years, have not changed their original intentions, their words and deeds have deeply affected the slaves sent by the Jia family to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and they have become the inheritors of the good education of the Lin family.
Therefore, even if the in-laws of the Jia family and the Xue family ate wine and cards every day and played happily, no one in Xiaoxiang Hall was ever involved in these things.
Not to mention the slaves of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, even Lin Daiyu herself, in the Jia Mansion has the extreme favor of Jia Mu, she will never fight Jia Mu, do whatever she wants, even if she wants to eat bird's nest, she has to think before and after, weigh it repeatedly, rather than eat it, rather than bother others.
Lin Daiyu's personality is undoubtedly also due to the upbringing she received from childhood.
From master to slave, everyone in Xiaoxiangguan lives cautiously in the thorny bush of Jia Fu, and they always maintain a gentle and elegant style and temperament.
