Grandma Liu is one of the few poor people in the Dream of the Red Chamber who is described in detail by Cao Gong, and it is no accident that she can have her own chapter in the blossoming Red Mansion Grand View Garden.
Her body is full of the suffering of the people at the bottom, and she also has the truth, goodness and beauty that the upper class society represented by Jia Fu generally lacks, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Grandma's body gushes with tenacious and vivid vitality.
As soon as Grandma Liu entered Jia Province, she did not return empty-handed, and the second entry into Jia House was even more full of loads, so how big was the harvest of her second entry into Jia House? Someone once calculated an account, saying that the value of the property obtained by Liu Grandma's second entry into Jia Province, if converted into today's money, is almost more than one million.
More than a million is really nothing for people living in first-tier big cities, and it may not even be enough to buy a down payment, but for people like Grandma Liu who have lived at the bottom for generations, more than one million is astronomical, and they may not have seen so much money in many lifetimes.
In the era of the Dream of the Red Chamber, the annual expenses of Liu Grandma's family of five were only twenty-two pieces of silver, and this was only a year's pocket money for a young lady in Jia Province. Therefore, when Grandma Liu of the Second Jia Mansion returned home, she not only got a full truckload of various clothes, medicines, snacks, rice and other goods, but also got the silver given by Madame Wang Fengjie and others, which was a huge harvest.
For Grandma Liu, this was probably completely beyond her expectations, the purpose of her second entry into Jia Fu was no longer to fight the autumn wind, but to thank Jia Fu for the past relief, she specially got some fresh melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables to send to Jia Fu, but she did not expect that her Zhi En Tu newspaper was exchanged for a greater gift from Jia Fu, and when she left, she got a car full of belongings.
As the saying goes, the blessed are blessed, and Grandma Liu is also a blessed person, with a kind heart and knowing how to be grateful, so she originally did not want Jia Fu to help her again, but she got more blessings and greater gains.
Of course, the harvest of Liu Grandma's second entry into Jia Mansion is far more than just getting property, in addition to property, Liu Grandma also has some unexpected gains. One of them is an eye-opener.
Grandma Liu was a poor person, all her life facing the loess with her back to the sky, guarding the land all her life, relying on the sky to eat, and in the year of famine, the family was at risk of starvation and frostbite, so there was a matter of Grandma Liu going to Jia Province to fight the autumn wind.
If it weren't for the inability to eat, if it weren't for zhi'en Tu Bao, Grandma Liu wouldn't have been a guest of honor in Jia Fu for about a lifetime, and even had the privilege of walking into the world in the painting in the eyes of the cropper to take a look.
But Grandma Liu did not expect that she who entered The Second Jia Fu Xie En, cast the fate of Jia Mu, was deliberately left to live for a few days, so she was able to enter the Grand View Garden, walk into the interior of this magnate, come to a hundred years of aristocratic luxury three-day tour, personally experience the nobles' food, clothing, housing and travel, and feel the daily life of the nobles.
So much so that we now have a saying that people who have never seen the world suddenly open their eyes and say that he is Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden. Although Grandma Liu had also seen in the world, her world path was not worth mentioning after all compared with the vast world of Jia Province.
Let's say that the residences of the princes and ladies in the Grand View Garden, the carved beams and paintings, and the buildings and terraces, if it were not for entering the Jia Mansion, it is estimated that Liu Grandma would not have seen such a beautiful building in her life. Speaking of the mountain treasures and seafood that the people of Jia Fu eat, a single dish of eggplant makes Grandma Liu praise one after another, not to mention Jia Mu who eats with water cards every day.
Some people may say that Liu Grandma, a farmer, even if she entered the Grand View Garden to see these things, there is no point, ah, how can a village woman who has only barely enough to feed herself in her life really understand these clothes, food, shelter and transportation in Jia Province? But in any case, Grandma Liu finally went to the giants for a while, at least after going back, she had more talking with her neighbors.
There is another important harvest of Grandma Liu's trip, that is, she has a good relationship. This good relationship is mainly with Sister Feng's mother and daughter. When Grandma Liu entered the Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng looked down on her poor relatives who could not be beaten by eight rods, so she ignored her.
However, Grandma Liu, who entered jia province for the second time, had obviously made Wang Xifeng look at her differently, and even used her status as a farmer to let Grandma Liu name her daughter. As soon as this name was taken, there was also a connection between Liu Grandma and Sister Qiao, and this association was revealed by Li Yanzhai as soon as Liu Grandma entered jia mansion.
According to Cao Gong's original intentions, in the future, when Jia Fu was defeated and Sister Qiao fell, it was Grandma Liu who rescued her and brought it back to the countryside, which is what Sister Qiao said in her judgment, "A wild village and a wild shop, there is a beautiful person spinning there." Moreover, it is inferred from the foreshadowing of the exchange of grapefruit and bergamot between Liu Grandma's second entry into Jia Fu Ban'er and Qiao Jie' sister that Qiao Sister was rescued and eventually married to Ban'er.
Grandma Liu probably did not expect that the fate between her and Sister Feng and Sister Qiao was so deep, if she had not entered the Jia Mansion twice, she would not have had this later relationship, let alone her later three times into the Jia Mansion. The fate of the world is really inexplicable and everything is doomed in the darkness.
