In the dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu always appears in pairs with Xue Baochao, and because of the confrontation between Mushi Qianmeng and Jin Yuliangyuan, both readers and authors often put Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao together to talk about. When Xing'er talked about these two beautiful girls, he said that when he saw them both, he had to hold his breath, afraid that he would blow down the surname Lin and warm up the surname Xue.
These are two girls with fundamental differences in appearance and temperament, Lin Daiyu is slender and Xue Baochao is round. Lin Daiyu was frank and Xue Baochao was rational. In the dream of the Red Chamber, there is the fifth time
"Although BaoChao is not very old, but his character is square, his appearance is rich, most people are said to be Dai Yu, and Bao Chao's behavior is open-minded, and when he follows the division, he is no more dustless than Dai Yu's eyes, so he has a big heart."
This is the evaluation that Xue Baochao received from all over Jia Province when he first entered Jia Province. Later, Jia Baoyu's wet nurse Aunt Li said that Lin Daiyu "this mouth speaks, sharper than a knife", Xue Baochao also said that Lin Daiyu "this mouth of the lady of the jaw, let people love is not, hate is not", Di Cuiting's back jia Baoyu's handmaiden Lin Hongyu also said "Lin girl's mouth loves mean people". From the words of these people, we know that Lin Daiyu has been labeled as a sharp speaker.
Let's look at the whole book and see who Lin Daiyu is mean to whom?
The person who is most teased by Lin Daiyu is Jia Baoyu, who has a special relationship with Lin Daiyu and belongs to the children in love, and it is normal for the two people to quarrel and quarrel. In addition, Lin Daiyu will also ridicule Xue Baochao, because of the wind of Jinyu Liangyuan, of course, and Jia Baoyu "saw the sister and forgot the sister" is also related, the three people in the delicate relationship of love, Lin Daiyu teased the two of them is a normal psychological reaction, this situation often occurs in daily life.
The next impression is that Lin Daiyu is mean to Zhou Rui's family, when the Zhou Rui family sent palace flowers, the last one was given to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu came at that time, "I know that others have picked the leftovers for me", which made the Zhou Rui family embarrassed. Other times, it was no longer easy to find Lin Daiyu's mean words appeared. However, these harsh words spoken by Lin Daiyu were all said to the face, and dissatisfaction was immediately expressed, and others' rights and wrongs were not commented on behind their backs.
Looking at Xue Baochao again, she has very few situations of mean people, only targeting Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Her mean objects are also Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. Xue Pan sang on his birthday, jia baoyu said that Xue Baochao did not go to see the play because of "physical abundance and timidity", Xue Baochao was furious, and also reprimanded the handsome lady who came to look for the fan, saying to Jia Baoyu. Later, lin daiyu and Jia baoyu were puned and "guilty of jing", and their eloquence was better than Lin Daiyu.
But when Xue Baochao commented on people behind his back, the language was quite sharp. In her mouth, Jin Jun, who hates to jump the well, is a "confused person", and Lin Hongyu, the handmaiden who is deeply appreciated by Wang Xifeng in Jia Baoyu's room, is a "person with big hollow eyes and a first-class cunning and strange person". Although these two people are both handmaidens, Jin Ju is the big girl in Madame Wang's room, Lin Hongyu has a clear mouth and has his own pursuits, both of them are the best of the beggars, in Xue Baochao's mouth, it is very unbearable.
Looking at the figures of the master class, Jia Yingchun has no quarrel with the world, is an old and good person, and Xue Baochao said that she is "a dead person who is angry". Wang Xifeng was deeply liked by Jia Mu for her humor, Xue Baochao said that she was "illiterate, but the worldly teasing", Wang Xifeng's housekeeper was "a hero in the fat powder pile", and Xue Baochao said that she "did not give monthly money, and Feng Baotou did not have a plan". Tanchun butler, more educated than Wang Xifeng, also has the characteristics of being fierce and daring to say and dare to do, Xue Baochao said that she was "stupid and creamy." Lust for profit". Shi Xiangyun was open-minded and cheerful, and Xue Baochao said that she talked too much.
In this comparison, it is not only Lin Daiyu that is sharp, but we see that Lin Daiyu is sharp on the outside and generous on the inside. Why?
Shi Xiangyun said that Lin Daiyu was like a singing lingguan, the drama was originally the lower nine streams, even Jia Baoyu was worried that Lin Daiyu would blame Shi Xiangyun, but Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun had always been talking and laughing, and what did not matter was that Jia Baoyu did not understand him and gave Shi Xiangyun a look.
There are many backs to Lin Daiyu as a shield for others in the book, and in the Di Cuiting incident, Xue Baochao moved out of Lin Daiyu to carry the pot for himself. When Jia Yuqiang married Mandarin Duck, Wang Xifeng did not want to wade through this muddy water, and when her mother-in-law Lady Xing came to consult with herself, she also borrowed Lin Daiyu to call Ping'er to prevaricate, and she also borrowed Lin Daiyu to break the siege for herself.
After Jia Baoyu interceded, the inspecting mother-in-law also carried out Lin Daiyu and lied that "Lin Daiyu called away the Lotus Official" to go on an errand. Xueyan didn't want to lend clothes to Aunt Zhao's handmaiden Xiao Jixiang, which meant that the clothes were in Lin Daiyu's place.
We see that everyone under the master has taken Lin Daiyu to shirk responsibility, which shows what it means, which shows that Lin Daiyu does not pay attention to these things at all. From this point of view, lin daiyu's exposed vitriol hides the inner generosity, do you say that only Lin Daiyu is vitriol in the dream of the Red Chamber?
