In the Grand View Garden built for the Relatives of YuanChun Province, the courtyard with the smallest house area is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Lin Daiyu lived later.
The entrance is a zigzag veranda, the steps are full of stones into a Yong Road, above the small two or three rooms, one light and two dark, inside are all beds and chairs that are built together. From the inside of the room there is a small door, and out is the backyard, there are large pear blossoms and plantains, and there are two small retreats.
This is the layout of the entire Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Compared with the "five Qingsha two roll sheds", the Yihong Courtyard, which has made Jia Zheng and others get lost, and the "broad" Qiu Shuangzhai and the house where Dai Yu lived, it can be said that it is relatively narrow.
According to the rules of Jia Fu, there are more than a dozen people in each lady's room. With so many people crammed into a few small houses, the place is really not wide.
Because the house of Xiaoxiang Hall is too narrow, even if Jia Mu is extremely fond of Lin Daiyu, she is not willing to stay here for a long time. Therefore, when Jia Mu took Grandma Liu on a tour of the Grand View Garden, the first place came to Xiaoxiang Hall, but a group of people did not stay here for a long time, and after a few words, Jia Mu said: "This house is narrow, let's go elsewhere." ”
Lin Daiyu chose the narrowest Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden, although she had her own reasons, because she liked the tranquility of xiaoxiang pavilion and liked those tall green bamboo. However, the author deliberately designed it this way, there must be another layer of deep meaning, otherwise the larger houses can be planted all over the green bamboo. Of course, why Lin Daiyu chose the narrow Xiaoxiang Pavilion is not the discussion content of this article, what we want to analyze is that we know that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the narrowest, but when it comes to fifty-eight times, Aunt Xue wants to move to xiaoxiang Pavilion.
At that time, a very important thing happened in "Dream of the Red Chamber" - the old lady in the palace was gone, and the wives of the Jia Mansion had to send funerals to the imperial tomb. Therefore, in the great Jia Province, there is a lack of people in charge.
Therefore, everyone planned that there was no owner in the family, so they reported you to give birth, and moved her out to assist Ning Rong's second house. Because he entrusted Aunt Xue to take care of her sisters and servants in the garden. Aunt Xue had to move into the park as well.
At this time, There was a shortage of people in Charge of the family in Jia Province, and Aunt Xue was idle in Jia Province, so it was also common for people to let her help take care of it for a few days. However, there was no shortage of houses in the Grand View Garden, and Xue Baochao's Garden was the largest, even if Shi Xiangyun lived with him, it was wider than Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Logically, Aunt Xue's more suitable residence should be the Yuanyuan where her daughter lived, but Aunt Xue moved to the narrow Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Why did Aunt Xue make such a decision? Is it really because of the love for Daiyu? In fact, the so-called "you don't know that I hurt you more in my heart" that Aunt Xue said to Lin Daiyu was just a nonsense. Anyone who is a mother can't love other people's children more, not to mention, Lin Daiyu is still her daughter Xue Baochao's "opponent" in a certain sense.
Since Aunt Xue didn't really love Lin Daiyu, and the place of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was narrow, why did she have to move in to live with Lin Daiyu? In fact, we just have to look at what happened before that to understand.
Aunt Xue moved to Xiaoxiang Hall, it was in the fifty-eighth time, and a very important thing happened in the fifty-seventh time - Hui Zijuan's love resignation tried to be busy with jade.
The purpose of the purple crane was very simple, she just wanted to know lin daiyu's position in Jia Baoyu's heart. However, this girl did not expect the development of things, which completely exceeded her expectations. Because Jia Baoyu's reaction was too strong, he almost went crazy on the spot, and the whole of Jia Mansion knew about it, and Of course Aunt Xue was among them.
When Jia Baoyu dragged Zi Juan to death in front of everyone and cried and said, "I'm going to take it with me", Jia Fu and Aunt Xue both understood that Lin Daiyu was the one that Jia Baoyu could never give up. The "golden and jade good fortune" that the Xue family dreamed of was also facing a huge crisis.
Is Aunt Xue willing to give up at this point? Definitely not. Therefore, after this incident, Aunt Xue came to Xiaoxiang Hall for the first time, seemingly visiting Daiyu's illness, in fact, it was to tell Lin Daiyu a sentence, "This one thing is unexpected, by virtue of the parents themselves are willing, or every year in one place, thinking that it is a fixed family affair, if the old man under the moon does not use the red line, he can no longer go to one place."
It is conceivable that after Aunt Xue lived in Xiaoxiang Hall, she would still tirelessly instill this concept into Lin Daiyu - do you think that Baoyu can have a deep affection for the past? Do you think it's enough to have the support of the old lady? You and Jia Baoyu, there is no old man under the moon tied with a red thread!
In other words, Aunt Xue lived in Xiaoxiang Hall, not to care for and take care of Lin Daiyu, but just to "monitor" Lin Daiyu's every move, and casually "brainwashed" Lin Daiyu so that she would not have so much confidence in the "Mushi Qianmeng".
Driven by this kind of psychology, even if Xiaoxiang Hall is narrow, Aunt Xue naturally does not mind. Therefore, she would rather squeeze in Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion than live in her daughter's Garden.
