"Dream of the Red Chamber" details the various changes of feudal society, which is of great benefit to our understanding of ancient culture. Today, I will talk to you about the first meal that Lin Daiyu ate after entering Jia Province, and Cao Xueqin used a few hundred words to reflect the nobility and glory of a feudal family in the kung fu of a meal. After Lin Daiyu and her aunt Lady Wang entered through the back door of Jia Mu's courtyard, a large room of ladies, ladies and ladies were waiting, and only Jia Mu sat on the main seat.
Is this waiting for Lin Daiyu, the guest? Not exactly, and the gentle Lady Wang, after hearing the rumors of the meal, unusually rushed to Jia Mu's courtyard, not for dinner, but to serve Jia Mu to eat, and a large number of people were also waiting for Madam Wang to come and serve Jia Mu to eat.
Some people asked, so many bearded women are here, why do they have to wait for a lady of the commandment to serve? In the feudal aristocratic family, especially pay attention to filial piety, daughter-in-law to serve the mother-in-law to eat is a natural thing, if it is slack, it is dereliction of duty and rudeness, and it is a matter of discredit to pass it out.
After that, "Li Feng held the rice, Wang Xifeng an Zhen, and Madame Wang entered the soup." "Everything is ready, but how to sit is also exquisite." Wang Xifeng is an eight-sided exquisite figure, pulling Lin Daiyu to sit next to Jia Mu, but Lin Daiyu is also a delicate person, she knows that the first position on the left hand side of Jia Mu is the first seat, all the aunts and sisters-in-law are there, and it is not her turn to be a junior.
It wasn't until Jia Mu let out a conversation that Lin Daiyu dared to sit down, not because she watched people cook dishes. Lin Daiyu refused Wang Xifeng's kindness and called keeping etiquette, and obeying Jia Mu's words was called keeping the law, and Jia Mu's words were the highest decree in the Jia family. After Lin Daiyu entered the seat, the other three springs could be seated in the order of the eldest and youngest. As for Li Feng and Wang Xifeng, they stood aside to persuade Jia Mu and the ladies to pick vegetables.
Feudal aristocratic families attach the most importance to etiquette, even if they prefer sons to daughters, they will not be as harsh as ordinary people,but pay attention to the fact that the daughters who are not out of the cabinet are petite guests, and to some extent, they are more expensive than the daughters-in-law who marry in, such as Madame Wang and Wang Xifeng. Even after the meal, there was a little girl who brought tea, fortunately, Lin Daiyu observed the color and found that others used to gargle, so she did not make a joke. After washing hands and cleaning your mouth, you can serve the after-dinner tea, and the meal is over.
