In the TV series "The Gate of the Big Mansion", in addition to the main roles such as Bai Jingqi, there are many small roles, although the works do not have much ink on them, but they are also very brilliant, such as the Zheng Laoshi played by Zhao Xiaorui, played by Zhao Xiaorui, the "Black Whirlwind".
It is said that Bai Jingqi's indisputable son Bai Jingye owed a gambling debt in Anguo and was detained by the casino, waiting to be redeemed. Bai Jingqi raised enough money and personally drove the carriage to the casino to catch people.
The reason why Bai Jingqi wanted to do this in person was that on the one hand, he didn't want to be ugly, and he didn't want the second grandmother to know. On the other hand, bai jingqi as a father and the head of the entire Bai family, Bai Jingye's mistakes also made him reflect on what he lacked in recent years, whether it was governing the family or managing family affairs. To do this insulting thing yourself is also a punishment for yourself.
As a result, there was a fight in the middle of the road, and I met a country man Zheng Laoshi. At the end, Bai Jingqi also gave Zheng Laoshi a pair of explosive cloth shoes that were inline and upgraded, and the shot was very generous.
Since then, Bai Jingqi may have forgotten this Zheng Laoshi who once took off a handful of his hair, but Zheng Laoqi remembered Bai Jingqi.
A few years later, Zheng Laoshi's hometown was devastated and could not survive. Cornered, with a glimmer of hope, he ran to the capital and wanted to turn to Bai Jingqi.
Don't look at zheng laoshi and Bai Jingqi when fighting, a rude look, this time to the Bai family, Zheng laoshi used his own little careful thinking: specially brought a little local specialties from the countryside.
If it is the second grandmother or the later Xiangxiu family, Zheng Laoshi may not be able to stay in the Bai family smoothly. The second grandmother and Xiangxiu are shrewd and capable managers, and they will definitely consider the input and output of leaving Zheng Laoshi - to know that Zheng Laoshi's meal is almost equivalent to three or five strong men, but whether he can create the benefits of three or five strong men for the Bai family, but also a question mark.
But Bai Jingqi is not the kind of person who considers interests, and he only talks about his feelings and his own feelings when he makes friends.
Bai Jingqi's temperament was also very well pinched by Zheng Laoshi.
Since then, Zheng Laoshi has not only successfully stayed in the Bai family, but also very clearly positioned himself:
Bai Jingqi has nothing to talk about and pistachios that can amuse Bai Jingqi.
Why?
Bai Jingqi, who has a big family, in fact, whether it is internal or external, is not easy and happy.
The people around him are either flattering him, or afraid of him, or deceiving him, Bai Jingqi, who has been in the career field and vanity fair for many years, even if he is a mountain cannon, he will not be unable to see through these things, but as a family member, he cannot get rid of these.
Therefore, dealing with these people around them, in terms of Bai Jingqi's personality, must be very repulsive and helpless.
However, the arrival of Zheng Laoshi made Bai Jingqi feel like seeing a clear stream.
Zheng Laoshi once fought with him, and there is also the unique straightness of the countrymen, so Zheng Laoshi is not afraid of him. Zheng Laoshi defected to him, just to eat a full meal and let the family live, in addition, there was no desire and no demand, so Zheng Laoshi would not deceive him.
Moreover, compared with the very explicit and disgusting flattery of others, Zheng Laoshi's praise of Bai Jingqi is simple and makes Bai Jingqi feel very comfortable.
What is particularly rare is that Bai Jingqi must hold his "White Seventh Master" identity shelf in social occasions, and when he is alone with Zheng Laoshi, he can put down all these illusory shelves, and even unscrupulously put a fart.
How pleasant and painful it was for him to live.
Therefore, in that old social era, Although Bai Jingqi and Zheng Laoshi were people with completely different identities and statuses, from the perspective of temperament and personality, Bai Jingqi and Zheng Laoshi were actually a type of person.
Moreover, it was Zheng Laoshi who figured out Bai Jingqi's mind and used practical actions to let Bai Jingqi find the common ground between the two people in himself.
So how does Zheng Laoshi make Bai Jingqi's "pistachio"?
Once, Bai Jingqi punished them for not being allowed to eat well because he was not accustomed to the children at home, and called Zheng Laoshi over, asking Zheng Laoshi to eat all the meals on the table, and staged a food broadcast for the sons, ladies and girls present.
Even from the perspective of the time, Bai Jingqi's operation was obviously degrading.
But Zheng Laoshi not only did not refuse, but also very wisely "self-deprecating" a sentence:
"The bowl is too small!"
In a word, it made Bai Jingqi and everyone present laugh, and Bai Jingqi's original stomach gas quickly dissipated.
On this occasion, Zheng Laoshi was very clear about Bai Jingqi's meaning of calling out to himself, so he unceremoniously ate all the meals.
Seeing the end, Bai Jingqi not only enjoyed blossoming, but also did not forget to explain that the accounting room rewarded Zheng Laoshi with a red envelope.
Bai Jingqi is also very clear, so that the public instruction of Zheng Laoshi to stage a "eat broadcast show" is indeed a bit of a sense of taking the other party to shabu, since the other party gave you a hard time to complete the performance, then you pay an appearance fee, it is a fair "deal".
You have given me joy, and I will give you decency.
In the eyes of many people, Bai Jingqi seems to be high, but Zheng Laoshi has reached a certain invisible "balance" with Bai Jingqi with his own unique way of getting along.
This cannot but be said to be a kind of survival wisdom.
In fact, the character setting of Zheng Laoshi is the same as that of Grandma Liu in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In order to get the care of Jia Fu, as long as she enters the Grand View Garden, Liu Grandma will always self-deprecate and spoof herself, and make a laugh at the most powerful and favored cadres in Jia Province, including Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, etc., so that when she is leaving, Wang Xifeng will give her a little more scattered silver and good clothes that her aunts and aunts have eliminated, and these are the benefits that she, a cropper, can't get for a year of hard work.
A trip to Jia Province, although the self-prank, a little lost dignity, but did not lose the bottom line of human dignity, but also in exchange for a very cost-effective return, Liu Grandma calculated this account very clearly.
If we apply a modern concept, Zheng Laoshi and Grandma Liu have revitalized all the resources they have mastered by using their own little thoughts, and have realized the maximum realization of resources and the maximization of benefits.
Behind this, in fact, let us see a small person living at the bottom of society who is not willing to be destroyed by fate, and tries everything to get a little "ambition" of class evolution.
Whether it is "The Gate of the Great Mansion" or "Dream of the Red Chamber", they describe the world of the old society, but the "Zheng Laoshi" and "Liu Grandma" have always existed.
Even many times, we have to live into the appearance of "Zheng Laoshi" and "Liu Grandma".
