That arrogant and arrogant boy is the brother who loves his sister the most in the dream of the Red Chamber
In the dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xueqin wrote several pairs of brothers and sisters, including Jia Zhen and Jia Xichun, who resembled passers-by, Jia Lian and Jia Yingchun, who had almost no intersection, and Xue Pan and Xue Baochao, who were close to each other. Among the three pairs of brothers and sisters listed, the best relationship between brothers and sisters is Xue Pan and Xue Baochao.
Xue Pan this person, if only from his personality and behavior, he is a spoiled child by his mother Aunt Xue, and like Jia Lian, Xue Pan is also a well-known clumsy disciple in the dream of the Red Chamber, the difference is that he is more willful than Jia Lian, in order to buy a, the arrogant and indulgent bully Xue Pan indulged in murder and provoked a lawsuit for human life.
It is reasonable to say that such an arrogant and arrogant disciple like Xue Pan should also be as indifferent to his sister as Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, but in fact it is not like this, Xue Pan is a dumb bully who has done all bad things in the eyes of outsiders, but in Xue Baochao's heart, he is a good brother who loves his sister.
First, buy a crab feast for your sister.
Bao Chao listened to her for half a day, but it was inappropriate, because he said to her: "My brother and I said, I want a few baskets of extremely fat crabs, and then take a few pots of good wine from the shop, and prepare four or five tables of fruit plates. Xiang Yun listened, and his heart was convinced, and he praised him for thinking thoughtfully. Bao Chao smiled again, "I am a piece of sincerity for your words." You must not be too careful, thinking that I underestimated you, and the two of us will be in vain. If you don't have much of a heart, I'll ask them to do it." Xiang Yun smiled busily, "Good sister, you said this, but you treat me more carefully." How confused is she, not even a good villain, and has become a person? If I don't treat my sister as if I were a sister, I won't tell you about those common things last time, and I won't tell you all the troublesome things. When Bao Chao heard this, he eunuch a mother-in-law came: "Go out and tell the uncle that like the big crab of the day before, you want a few baskets to come, and tomorrow after dinner, please ask the old lady and aunt to enjoy the osmanthus flowers." You said, Uncle, don't forget, I have invited someone today. "The mother-in-law went out to explain that she would come back, without a word.
In this passage, Baochao planned a banquet for Shi Xiangyun to open a poetry club, in which Baochao proposed to ask his brother Xue Pan for a few baskets of crabs, and after saying that, he also asked his mother-in-law to go out and tell Xue Pan about this matter, and Shi Xiangyun was naturally grateful to Baochao.
As a result, Xue Pan really sent a few baskets of crabs to his sister Xue Baochao to buy a crab feast as promised, and here we have to mention Xue Pan's love and care for her sister Xue Baochao.
If this matter was changed to Jia Zhen or Jia Lian, naturally he would not be concerned about the things his sister commanded, let alone do a good job in the things that his sister explained. Compared with them, xue pan, the dumb bully king, loved his sister the most, not only taking the things his sister commanded to heart, but also loving his sister very much. Occasionally offending his sister, he not only apologized, but was also willing to listen to his sister's words and no longer contact those fox friends outside.
Such a Xue Pan is naturally surprising, in the eyes of the reader, Xue Pan from the appearance to the end, giving people the impression of arrogant and indulgent children, spoiled by his mother Aunt Xue, only in the aspect of loving his sister and filial piety to his mother, it is indeed very good.
Second, a good brother who coaxes his sister to be happy.
Xue Pan heard it outside, and rushed over to Bao Chao with a wave to the left and a wave to the right, only to say, "Good sister, forgive me this time!" It turned out that I had eaten wine yesterday, came back late, bumped into people on the road, didn't wake up when I came home, didn't know what nonsense I said, even I didn't know myself, I can't complain that you are angry. Bao Chao had originally covered his face and cried, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be amused, so he looked up and took a sip and said, "You don't have to do these sounds." I know that your heart is more suspicious of our mother and son, and you are going to change the law and tell us to leave you, and you will be pure in your heart. When Xue Pan heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Where did my sister say this, this makes me not even have a foothold." My sister had never been such a person who was so bothered to say crooked things. Aunt Xue continued busily, "You will only hear your sister's crooked words, shouldn't what you said last night be wrong?" You're really dizzy! Xue Pan said, "Mom doesn't have to be angry, and my sister doesn't have to worry about it, how about I eat and hang out with them from now on?" Bao Chao smiled and said, "I don't understand this!" Xue Pan said, "If I hang out with them again, and my sister hears it, she just thinks of me and calls me a beast, not a human, how?" Why bother, for me alone, my mother and children worry about it every day! My mother is angry with me and forgiven, if I just ask my sister to worry about me, I am not a person. Now that my father is gone, I can't be more filial to my mother, how much I hurt my sister, the anti-godmother is angry, my sister is annoyed, and I really can't even be a beast! As he spoke, tears rolled down his eyes.
From this passage, it can be seen that in front of his mother, Xue Pan is a filial piety, and in the heart of his sister Xue Baochao, Xue Pan is a good brother.
Because Bao Yu was beaten, Bao Chao couldn't help but complain about Xue Pan after he returned home, and after provoking the drunken Xue Pan to say the words of Jin Yu's good fortune, Bao Chao was angry and shed tears. The next day, Xue Pan went home to apologize to his sister, coaxed her sister to be happy, and promised her mother Aunt Xue and sister Xue Baochao that she would not contact those fox friends outside in the future.
Xue Pan also shed tears when he said that he was emotional, Aunt Xue originally did not cry, listening to these words said by Xue Pan, seeing Xue Pan shed tears, thinking of some sad things can't help but cry. In the end, it was Baochao who persuaded Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.
Seeing that his sister Baochao was no longer angry with himself, Xue Pan wanted to buy some clothes for his sister and take his sister Xue Baochao's gold collar to blow up. I have to say that Xue Pan is a good brother who loves his sister at this moment, and seeing that his brother Xue Pan apologized to himself, and he was happy and gifts, xue Baochao's anger in his heart had long disappeared, and the feelings between the brothers and sisters were still as good as before.
Third, a good brother who loves his sister.
Aunt Xue and Bao Chaoyin asked, "What is a good thing, tied up like this?" So he ordered someone to pick up the rope, went to the splint, and when he opened the lock to see, it was some satin, brocade, foreign goods and other common applications. In the box that was unique to Baochao, in addition to pens, ink, stones, various colors of paper, incense bags, incense beads, fans, fan pendants, pollen, rouge head oil, etc., there were also self-inflicted people, liquor lingers, mercury-filled little boys who fought with muscle fighting brought by Tiger Hill, sand lamps, one mud man after another, box with green gauze cover, and there were small statues of Xue Pan made on Tiger Hill Mountain, which were kneaded into no different from Xue Pan, and many small things that were broken. When BaoChao saw it, he was full of joy.
This is the first time Xue Pan went out to do business and came back to bring gifts to his sister, there are many gifts, as well as the small statue that Xue Pan got on the Tiger Hill Mountain, Bao Chao saw the gift sent by his brother, and he liked it very much, especially the small statue of his brother, Bao Chao was full of likes.
Compared with Tanchun's matter of letting Baoyu help her buy gifts outside, Baoyu's approach is to let people buy them casually, the same brother, Baoyu's warm man is not as good as Xue Pan's stupid son.
From the small gift that Xue Pan brought back to his sister Baochao, it can be seen that he has a love and intention for his sister Baochao. It is precisely because he especially loves his sister, when Xue Pan buys gifts outside, he especially spends his mind, and many of the gifts he buys are liked by Baochao, which shows that he usually cares about his sister and knows Baochao's preferences very well.
On the other hand, Jia Zhen never cared about her sister Jia Xichun, let alone loved her. There is also Jia Lian, who is even more indifferent to his half-sister Jia Yingchun. Although Baoyu is commensurate with Tanchun's brothers and sisters, and usually sees more, his feelings for this half-sister are very general. Baoyu even said in front of Daiyu that he was also alone and had no brothers and sisters, so it can be seen that Baoyu and Tanchun's brother-sister relationship is not as close as Tanchun imagined.
Xue Pan is different, although he is usually lawless outside, but back at home, he is very filial to his mother, Aunt Xue, and he is also extremely fond of his only sister, Xue Baochao. From the perspective of family affection, Xue Pan is a filial son and a good brother who loves his sister. It is only because he usually does some bad things outside, leaving a bad impression on the reader, but he is competent in loving his sister and filial piety to his mother.
In addition, Xue Pan also has a warm side, when he learned the news that Liu Xianglian had renounced his family and You Sanjie had committed suicide, Xue Pan had shed tears of grief, but Bao Chao was more calm, asking his brother to leave these outside things alone, and it was the right thing to do well in the family.
It can be seen from this that although Xue Pan is an arrogant and indulgent clumsy disciple, he is a good brother who loves his sister the most in the dream of the Red Chamber. In the dream of the Red Chamber, although Cao Xueqin wrote several pairs of brothers and sisters, Xue Pan and Xue Baochao were the pair of brothers and sisters with the best feelings. In addition, Cao Xueqin's character "no bad people are all bad, good people are all good", Aunt Zhao is an exception. Xue Pan is not a heinous bad person in Cao Xueqin's pen, he also has a kind and warm side, especially in the matter of filial piety to his mother and love for his sister, Xue Pan has achieved the supremacy of family affection.
