When I watched the Dream of the Red Chamber, I always felt that Grandma Liu was a magical being. In terms of social status, on the wealth she has, her family and Jia Fu are simply a heaven and an earth. Jia Fu is a family of Zhong Mingding food, eating mountain treasures and seafood, wearing Aya Luo silk satin, and the lady is more delicate than the average lady. Grandma Liu was an old widow who lived a hard life with her daughter and son-in-law, so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy coal for the winter.
However, in the first 80 times in the dream of the Red Chamber, Grandma Liu successfully entered the Rongguo Mansion twice, and for the first time she received 20 taels of silver, which was enough for her family to spend a year. The second time, whether it was silver, or clothing, clothing, medicine, snacks, grain, and also took away a valuable kiln cup from Miaoyu, some people estimated that what she took from Jia Fu twice was as much as a million according to today's purchasing power.
The first time she went into Jia Mansion to ask for money, straightforward, because the family is really no rice under the pot, she said, "Today I brought your nephew here, not for anything else, just because his mother's there, not even food, such as today is cold, had to bring your nephew to run to you", Liu Grandma is afraid that the expression is not in place, but also reminded the grandson Ban'er "how your father taught you at home, send us to do something." Grandma Liu's expression plus the prop of her grandson vividly showed the purpose of her coming to Jia Mansion to ask for money to survive the winter, not to mention that the opposite was Wang Xifeng, even the most stupid people understood what was going on.
The first time Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, the words such as personality and self-esteem that we modern people value cannot be seen in Grandma Liu at all, after all, survival is the first need. Although Grandma Liu also blushed before she could speak, she still endured shame and begged, and said the purpose of the trip. This cannot but be said that Grandma Liu has insight into the true meaning of life, "plotting things is in people, success is in heaven", and we cannot retreat because of the disparity in status, "willing to try luck with old faces, sure enough, there are benefits, and everyone is beneficial."
Instead of waiting to die at home, why not let go of your face and try it? With such psychological motivation, she managed to earn a year's worth of living expenses.
The second time Grandma Liu entered the RongGuo Mansion, the waist bar was straighter than the first time, after all, there was food and drink at home, and she also brought local specialties, which was different from the last time she simply reached out for something. This time, Grandma Liu met Jia Mu, which was a bigger challenge for Grandma Liu, but it also meant a greater opportunity.
Jia Mu at home every day mountain treasure seafood, it is inevitable that there will be times to eat tired, appropriately rejoice in the taste, the picture is fresh. The arrival of Grandma Liu just solved this need of Jia Mu, Jia Mu wanted to "find an old man to talk to", the rural specialties brought by Grandma Liu and Grandma Liu herself are the best gifts for Jia Mu, which will bring her a different aesthetic.
When Grandma Liu asked for something this time, unlike the last time she blushed, she was justified and strong, listening to Jia Mu say that "the melon vegetables picked in the field are delicious", Liu Grandma replied, "We want to eat fish and meat, but we can't afford to eat", listening to her remarks, Jia Mu simply left her to live for two days, let her taste the fresh, two feasts a day in the Grand View Garden, so that Grandma Liu was addicted to her mouth.
When visiting the Grand View Garden, when I arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, because Jia Mu saw that Lin Daiyu's window screen was old, she asked Wang Xifeng to take out a precious silver-red soft cigarette to change Lin Daiyu, and Liu Grandma said while praising him, "We don't want him to make clothes, take him to paste the window, it's a pity." Jia Mu listened to her say this and responded, "It's not good to make clothes", and then instructed Wang Xifeng to "look for it again, there are blue materials for making clothes, and send two horses to Liu's family."
Grandma Liu saw two small boxes of dim sum, each box contained two things, others just symbolically picked up their favorite food and took a little to give up, Grandma Liu sighed, "Our most clever sisters there, can not ream such a paper." I love to eat, and I am reluctant to eat, so I pack some houses to make tricks for them to pour well. ”
Jia Mu let her eat as much as she liked, saying that when she left, she would give her a jar of various kinds of inner snacks.
Where did Grandma Liu come from, running to Jia Mansion to eat and drink and ask for money and things, to put it bluntly, this confidence and courage is the wisdom of her life.
Before she met Jia Mu, She had heard Ping'er say that Jia Mu was an old lady who had accumulated virtue and done good deeds, and that she had been pampering herself in the courtyard of the high mansion all day, and Liu Grandma knew this, and she knew that she could not be as pitiful as a beggar, and she wanted to do what she liked. Use her village customs to satisfy their sense of superiority. So we saw a grandmother Liu who wore flowers on her head and ate "old Liu Lao Liu, who ate as much as an ox." She took the initiative to cooperate with Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck's pranks, pretended to be crazy and stupid, and successfully made them laugh, which is her confidence and cost.
Ordinary old ladies love to eat and pray to the Buddha, have faith, Jia Mu and Madame Wang are no exception, Grandma Liu grasped this psychological characteristic of them, to tell them karma to cater to, Mrs. Wang listened frequently and nodded. At the same time, she also took care of these young people and told some stories in the village, the story of the young girl Ming Yu deeply attracted Jia Baoyu, and Grandma Liu took into account the needs of the three generations of old, middle and young people in the Rongguo Mansion, and satisfied the curiosity of these noble wives and ladies.
If from the perspective of our modern people, Liu Grandma is an excellent "salesman", back to the empty, full of loads, as a village woman without culture, Liu Grandma's mouth frequently said "how big a bowl to guard, how much to eat", "Chang'an City is full of money, but unfortunately no one takes", "no money is angry, what a man", "plotting in people, accomplishing things in heaven" and other words, the same applies in today's society, Liu Grandma relies on her wisdom, and she is bold in Jia Province to eat, drink and ask for money and things. But at the same time, Grandma Liu is also a person who must repay the favor, and it is really a world of insight and learning, and the cultivation of human feelings is an article.
