Grandma Liu made very few appearances in the Grand View Garden. In the eyes of everyone, she was just a poor peasant woman who came to a high-gate household to climb relatives to fight the autumn wind, and there was nothing special about it. When Jia Fu was in distress, Grandma Liu sold her land to rescue Sister Qiao, and few people could do such a righteous and thin cloudy day.
Clothing, utensils, dishes, etiquette, all reflect the luxury at the top of the pyramids of Rongning and Ning, like a mirage, gorgeous and dreamy, but not grounded. Seeking help and support, observing the color but not losing self-esteem, knowing gratitude, and trying to live a good life, it is very easy for us to empathize. After all, there are many sentient beings, and the lucky ones are only a very small minority. Most people are Grandma Liu who is running hard in the world.
Grandma was born in the countryside. The kin family once climbed the clan with the noble royal family. The widowed grandmother lives with her daughter's family and helps take care of her grandson Qing'er and Ban'er's sisters and brothers. The son-in-law complained, and grandma took her grandson Ban'er to Jia Province, hoping to get some help.
Now, teasing others or self-deprecating that they have not seen the world, they often say a sentence "like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden." However, if you travel back a hundred years and enter the Grand View Garden, not everyone may be able to have the exquisite and courageous nature of Liu Grandma to see the world.
Even if she had gone to the feast of the rich squire in the countryside, and her ancestors had been a petty official, she was also quite discerning, and how in the countryside she could be regarded as a shrewd and capable person, Grandma Liu, who entered the Grand View Garden, like an ignorant child breaking into an unknown and beautiful castle, all she saw was the first time.
Thinking that the dressed Lady Ping'er was Sister Feng, she was startled by the self-chiming bell, and went to see Jia Mu only to see a room of beautiful people wrapped in silk and satin, in exchange for others, the grand pomp and circumstance of the clan will make people retreat and return to the house, Liu Grandma is afraid but not timid. She had her own mission, and everyone in the family was waiting for her good news, how could she back down.
In addition, Grandma is also a person who really likes the Grand View Garden. People who are involved in the relationship are not coincidentally met, nor are they fateful arrangements, but only because the magnetic field of the soul attracts each other and appreciates and recognizes each other. This has nothing to do with status. Mrs. Jia Mu and Murano's old concubine, Grandma Liu, are a pair of people who are related.
Jia Mu wanted to take out her own antique objects, dress up the simple house like a snow cave in Baochao, and use the silver and red Xia Shadow Yarn to make the window screen of the Daiyu Xiaoxiang Pavilion to reflect the green bamboo, and the color was fresh and not monotonous. Grandma Liu was full of flowers at the banquet, full of joy, saying that she also liked flower powder when she was young.
Two old women with very different identities and circumstances are born to the sun in the same way of life. Jia Mu, who enjoyed great honor in the first life, was a graceful peony. Grandma Liu, who works in the fields, is a simple cockscomb flower, full of vitality in the countryside.
Living a good life, still being sincere to the suffering people at the bottom, not taking the shelf and not treating slowly, this is a kind of cultivation and kindness. Living a difficult life, still smiling and facing life, and resisting the difficulties of life with humor and optimism, this is a rare calm and open-mindedness.
Grandma knows how to be grateful. After receiving the clothes and silver gifts of the people in the Grand View Garden, the farmers did not have any valuable items, so they picked seasonal melon vegetables as a gift. Jia Mu was very happy and gladly accepted.
All kinds of snacks were packed for Grandma at the banquet, and everyone was told to joke that Grandma should not be excessive, Jia Mu's thoughtfulness and kindness were also one of the driving forces for Grandma to save Sister Qiao, and how could Grandma bear the suffering of Jia Mu's great-granddaughter.
Those who love to go out love to return, and those who are blessed to come are blessed. Sister Feng, who is a wise man, will not think of her own meager alms in exchange for the help of her grandmother. Yu Fengjie, only twenty-two pieces of silver, but it is only a dime. The grandmother who is embarrassed by life is the help of sending charcoal in the snow.
Even if Sister Feng's behavior is often unaccustomed, there is one thing, she is right and accurate. Seeing grandma twice, she asked her to give her daughter a name for her eldest sister, saying that the name given by the poor could hold him down. This is superstition, and it also shows that Sister Feng trusts her grandmother from the bottom of her heart.
Managing the Grand View Garden, having seen all kinds of people, etc., Sister Feng has cultivated a pair of wise eyes. She could see that although her grandmother was a village woman, she had insight and responsibility. Although the feast joked and joked about Grandma, it was to please Jia Mu, and after the banquet, Sister Feng made amends to Grandma. Sister Feng respects Grandma, does not treat slowly, and is not snobbish toward Grandma.
Dai Yu teased her grandmother as a "mother locust", although it was an unintentional word, it was finally a bit too much. The noble lady in the deep boudoir did not realize the suffering of the common people. Jia Mu and Feng Jie, who have experienced many things in the world, coupled with their personality, treat their grandmothers less of the shackles of the nobility, and are more grounded and have fireworks.
Little Sister Xiao and Xiao Ban'er exchanged Buddha hands and grapefruit, indicating that Sister Qiao's fate was guided by the Buddha's hand, and Grandma was a lucky star and noble person in Sister Qiao's fate, a Buddha, a bodhisattva. The noblewoman's wife entrusted her lonely and distant relatives, and the village woman devoted herself to rescuing Miss Houmen Qianjin, and the world was like a candle, and the light disappeared in an instant.
The grace of dripping water, reciprocating a glance at the fountain. Grandma Liu went to Jia Fu for help not only to fight the autumn wind, but to receive favors and not to reciprocate, she was open in her heart. The melon vegetables given to jia fu's family and the sale of field property to save Qiaojie are also frank and natural in her. She is only willing to practice her kindness and repay the favor, which has nothing to do with the amount of money and the attachment to the powerful.
Such a grandmother Liu is the most admirable.
