After Jin Jun'er was chased away by Lady Wang, she was attacked by the Jia family's verbal violence, and she could not bear it and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Madame Wang's irresponsible decision indirectly killed a person, and her conscience was uneasy, after all, Jin Jun'er had served her hard for several years.
However, Madame Wang's arrangement afterwards is very interesting. She was not only rewarded with a pension of fifty taels of silver, but also two more sets of good clothes.
Madame Wang said, "Just now I rewarded his mother with fifty taels of silver, and I was going to take two sets of your sisters' new clothes and wrap them in makeup." Who knows feng yatou said that there are no newly made clothes, only two sets for your sister Lin's birthday. I think your sister Lin's child Su Ri is a heart, and he is also in trouble, not only said to give him a birthday, this will also give people makeup, is not taboo. Because of this, I now ask the tailor to give him two sets. ”
Fifty taels of silver is a very large pension. After the death of a family child like Jin Jun'er, the Jia family will have a maximum of more than ten or twenty silver, such as Zhao Guoji, the brother of Aunt Zhao, who is twenty-two. And Qingwen only gave ten after her death.
Cao Xueqin was sarcastic and critical of Madame Wang's generous reward after Jin Jun'er's death. On that day, Jia Baoyu sensed that his father was going to beat him, and the ants on the hot pot generally could not find anyone to report the news, and they met an "old Mum".
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", mothers and grandmothers are very common, but "Old Mum" only appears this time. He happens to be deaf and mute, unable to understand words and unable to distinguish between right and wrong.
The image of old Mum undoubtedly satirizes Madame Wang's "pretending to be deaf and dumb". She said that Jin Jun'er's death was a big deal, and her wife had already rewarded her with money, so jia Baoyu didn't worry.
A human life in Madame Wang's heart to reward some money is over, the son made a mistake she used the money to settle, it is really good education.
Back to the point, after Madame Wang gave the money, she also had to reward two more sets of clothes, and there was more talk here.
First of all, the ancients paid attention to thick burials, to "walk" decently, and funerals should be more solemn. First, it means to "bring over" everything in the yang to enjoy. Second, the thick burial also has the meaning of "atonement", compensation for the dead.
Madame Wang gave more silver and gave decent clothes, that is, to make Jin Jun'er's funeral look good, let her "go" decently, to alleviate the guilt in her heart, and even to avoid "Jin Jun'er" from dying and settling accounts.
Here I would like to say more about "wrapping" clothes. The ancients were most concerned about "posthumous affairs" with coffins and wrapped clothes. Old people like Jia Mu have already prepared everything.
Liu Grandma entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, and before leaving, Jia Mu rewarded her with two sets of clothes sent by others for the New Year, which were worn by Liu Grandma after her death. These two sets of clothes, Liu Grandma is absolutely reluctant to wear, must keep the "wrapping".
Secondly, Madame Wang rewarded her with clothes, which were inappropriate and could only be used by the girls. It just so happened that there was no one else in the family, only to make two sets for Lin Daiyu's birthday and put them there.
This is forcibly associating Jin Jun'er's death with Lin Daiyu. Jin Jun'er died after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Lin Daiyu was on February 12th birthday, why are there two clothes to celebrate the birthday? Three months later, Lin Daiyu could not not put it still unsuitable, nor was she polite.
The author obviously deliberately designed to borrow clothes to express Madame Wang's views on Lin Daiyu. She said that Lin Daiyu was hearty and in poor health, and her words were full of rejection, whether Lin Daiyu was willing to take out her clothes or not, she did not want them.
When she said this to Xue Baochao, she was reminding Baochao to take out her clothes.
Finally, how "obedient" is Xue Baochao? Without Madame Wang's reminder, she would also generously relieve her aunt's worries. He quickly took out his two new sets of clothes and wrapped them for Jin Jun'er.
Madame Wang was satisfied with Xue Baochao's performance. Her conscience was "tortured" by Jin Jun'er's death, and Xue Baochao shared her worries for her, and her worries eased a lot. After all, it is the good daughter-in-law who shares the worries of the "mother-in-law".
However, Jin Jun'er wore Xue Baochao's clothes to "bury", which has a very important foreshadowing.
We know that Li Yanzhai's statement that "Qing is a shadow and attacks is a vice" is not entirely accurate.
Although Qingwen is lin daiyu's shadow, the attacker is the dual attributes of Baochao and Daiyu.
On the one hand, the experience, personality, and concept of Attacking People are the same as Xue Baochao's since childhood. On the other hand, she and Dai Yu have the same birthday, the surname Hua is a grass and wood person, and the end of marrying someone else in the future is the same.
Jin Jun'er is undoubtedly a double attribute. Jin Jun'er and Baochao are a type of golden jade people from the name. Jia Baoyu later made Jin Jun'er a concubine, and Yu Jun'er was given to Jia Baoyu as a concubine by Jia Zheng instead of her sister. They indicate that the "golden and jade marriage" will inevitably succeed.
And Jin Jun'er wore Xue Baochao's clothes to be buried, which is a symbol of Xue Baochao's youth and death.
As soon as Xue Baochao appeared, he had no sense of youth, only because his youth was dead. The youth she lost was Lin Daiyu's sudden seventeen-year-old. This is the "embodiment" of the unity of the plutonium. Lin Daiyu is a teenager and Xue Baochao is an adult.
On the one hand that Jin Jun'er is like Lin Daiyu, the two also died at the age of seventeen. Grandma Liu's story of Miss Mingyu also made a foreshadowing.
And Jia Baoyu sacrificed Jin Jun'er at the Narcissus Temple, what is Narcissus? Hibiscus is said to be a "narcissus".
Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus Sayings" "out of the mud without staining, Mao Qing Lian without demon", the characteristics of "lotus flowers are Buddha's edges, quiet water daffodils" is thoroughly explained.
Jia Baoyu Shuixian'an sacrifices Jin Jun'er, just like the "Furong Daughter Recitation" to pay tribute to Qingwen, is to pay tribute to Lin Daiyu, who is "going to die in the end". Lin Daiyu was the true "Lotus" Lord.
The reason why Jin Jun'er could not wear Lin Daiyu's clothes to "enter the burial" was that the two had the same symbolic meaning. Only wearing Xue Baochao's clothes is "the unity of Chao Dai", which fits Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao is the meaning of oneness. Echoes the "Judgment Words" and [Lifetime Error] tunes.
