Dream of the Red Chamber Continued Article 137: After Lin Daiyu's death, why Lady Wang was worried, Jia Mu was happy, behind the complete difference is human nature.
Some people say that those who have the deepest feelings will not be unswerving until death, but in fact, this is just a beautiful sentence. For ordinary people, the essence of life is to face the living person, not the person in the memory.
After Lin Daiyu's death, many people were worried about Jia Mu.
The white-haired person sending the black-haired person is a huge disaster for an old man, especially Lin Daiyu as Jia Mu's "heart and liver meat", the identity is important, the location is special, and it carries the feelings of two generations, so many people will think that Jia Mu will suffer a heavy blow.
Life is always unexpected, the news of Lin Daiyu's death spread, the most worrying thing is not Jia Mu but Lady Wang, what is even more puzzling is that Jia Mu is not only not sad about this matter but also has a little happiness in her heart.
01
Madame Wang rushed to Lin Daiyu's room, and she was not worried about how Lin Daiyu's aftermath would be handled, nor how much silver she would use.
Jia Fu was already unable to make ends meet at this time, and she did not have extra money to handle this matter, but she knew that with Jia Mu alive, everything did not have to worry about herself. (Reference: In the 72nd episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Wang Xifeng told everyone about Madame Wang's situation: "... The old lady's birthday, too anxious, two months can not think of a way, or I mentioned a word, after the upstairs there are some big copper tin guys that do not matter four or five boxes, take it to get three hundred silver, only to put the wife shame ceremony over. ”）
She was more worried about Jia Baoyu.
Just as everything that man strives for is related to his own interests, so everything he cares about is actually related to his own interests.
In feudal society, mothers are precious to their children. She originally had two sons, and after Jia Zhu's death, Jia Baoyu became her whole hope for life. (Reference: In the 33rd time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", when Jia Zheng beat Baoyu, she hugged Baoyu and cried jia Zhu: "If you live, I don't care about a hundred.") ”）
After Lin Daiyu's death, she was more worried about Jia Baoyu's abnormality.
02
Love, formless and traceless, born in red dust, higher than the world, between a thought, dependent and emotional, love is born, can be born with it, can die with it, and does not feel the difficulty of life and death.
Lin Daiyu's personal servant Ring Purple Crane, in order to complete the marriage between Baoyu and Daiyu, did not hesitate to lie and deceive Baoyu. Bao Yu immediately committed the disease of infatuation, and everyone in Jia Province knew about it.
Baoyu likes Qingwen, who looks, style and intimate relationship like Lin Daiyu, after her death, Baoyu is also out of the norm. (Reference: The 79th time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", after Qingwen's death, Bao Yu fell ill, and after his illness was cured, he only quarreled with the Yahuan in the Yihong Courtyard and was bored, and did not demolish the Yihong Courtyard within a hundred days, and these servants were lawless, and everything in the world was played.) ）
When Qingwen died, Lin Daiyu was still alive, and Baoyu still had spiritual support. Now that Lin Daiyu is dead, how Baoyu can get out of the shadow of life, Madame Wang is very worried in her heart.
03
After Jia Mu heard the news of Lin Daiyu's death, she didn't feel too much sadness in her heart.
What is the hope of life? In fact, it is an expectation, a kind of prejudgment of life.
For the elderly, life and death have long been very light, for the law of life, no matter how old, is a necessary road, Jia Mu has experienced the death of her husband, the death of her daughter Jia Min, the death of her grandson Jia Zhu, the sorrow of her granddaughter-in-law Qin Keqing, every time is painful, every time is a liver and intestine pain, but each time makes her inner tenderness become strong.
Lin Daiyu's death, she was expected.
As soon as they entered the Rongguo Mansion, everyone saw Lin Daiyu's wind and fluid state, and they knew that she had deficiency. She publicly asked people to prepare ginseng Yangrong pills for her, asked Dr. Wang Tai to treat her, and sent bird's nest to her food supplements, but in the end, she did not save Lin Daiyu's life.
The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, the fate of man has an end, and before the big event, Jia Mu is more calm, more detached, and more open-minded.

In the human world, there are not only feelings, but also life.
When Lin Daiyu's death caused Jia Mu's feelings to suffer, it also relieved her life of some difficult problems that were difficult to start.
After Lin Daiyu's death, the contradiction between her and Jia Yuanchun disappeared into invisibility.
After a hundred years, the root cause of Jia Fu's prosperity, one is internal causes, the other is external factors, not only rely on the internal strength of Jia Fu to keep the century-old foundation, but also rely on external forces to continuously strengthen the foundation. Jia Yuanchun, as the biggest strength of the Jia family, is the core and the key, but on the issue of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's marriage, she is completely different from her own views.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Yuanchun put forward the opinions and suggestions of the golden jade for the first time; the sisters moved into the Grand View Garden, Jia Yuanchun asked the Eunuch Xia to pass on the will, and let Xue Baochao move into the Grand View Garden by name, and the living conditions were the same as That of Baoyu...
Jia Mu is a smart person, and she knows Jia Yuanchun's hints, but for her daughter's daughter, that kind of intergenerational closeness makes her put her feelings in front of reason... After Lin Daiyu's death, all contradictions were solved, and all difficult problems became invisible.
05
Jia Mu also had a thought in her heart, after Lin Daiyu's death, the burden of money also disappeared.
The Lin family was hereditary as a marquis, and Lin Ruhai operated for many years in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, and the Lin family's property eventually followed Lin Daiyu into Jia Province. This money, light or dark, has more or less been integrated into the life of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu is not dead, she can only take the form of marriage, the wealth is cleverly incorporated into the Jia Family; after Lin Daiyu's death, this wealth will not be pursued by anyone, and then asked, so that it will not become a bondage in her heart, once the pressure in her heart is released, there will naturally be some joy and some happiness in her heart.
From the moral high ground, This kind of Jia Mu stands on the pain of others and enjoys personal pleasure very low; but this is the truest human nature.
The biggest misunderstanding of human nature by ordinary people is that as long as they are human, they will have a little conscience.
In fact, human nature has good and evil, changing from person to person, changing from time to time, sometimes like a sweater, a needle and a thread when knitting, as long as it is gently pulled when it is dismantled, the feelings will disappear without a trace.
Testimonials after writing
The Neoplatonist philosopher Plotino said that man is between god and beast, sometimes inclined to one kind and sometimes to the other; some are increasingly sacred, some become beasts, and most remain moderate.
In fact, Madame Wang's worries and Jia Mu's joy are only the complexity of human nature, but they are only refracted by the mirror of Lin Daiyu's death.
