Speaking of Jiao Da in "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is estimated that the most memorable thing is his drunken scolding:
"Every day, the family steals dogs and plays with chickens, climbs the ashes, raises the little uncle..."
What exactly is "climbing ashes"? Who was he scolding? We will not talk about these issues for today. Today, let's talk about Jiao Da. It is reasonable to say that Jiao Da is also a senior old man in the Ningguo Mansion, but why is he so miserable?
Of course, this is inseparable from his own personality.
But is that all? In fact, what is hidden deeper in this is the cunning and calculation of the little people at the bottom, as well as the intrigues and exclusions between each other.
To use one of the most fashionable words, it is the bottom inner volume.
Speaking of Jiao Da, he was born and died on the battlefield with Jia Yan, the Duke of Ningguo. According to Jia Zhen's wife You Shi, on the battlefield that year, Jiao Da was from the pile of dead people and carried out the Ningguo Gong Jia Yan.
This credit alone is enough to enjoy a lifetime.
But that's nothing:
"He was destined, and he starved himself, but he stole something to feed his master." For two days he did not get water, but he got half a bowl of water for his master to drink, and he drank the horse himself. ”
Such a loyal and dedicated person has made such a great contribution, of course, the Ning Guofu cannot be treated badly. Besides, why is Ning Guofu so high and powerful? It was different because it had made a great contribution to the emperor's family.
According to this point of view, Jiao Da's days in Ningguo Mansion should be very moist.
However, in fact, this is not the case.
There is a way that "people are in human feelings", when Jia Yan was alive, for Jiao Da, the savior, he naturally treated him differently. However, after Jia Yan's death, especially in Jia Zhen's generation, Jiao Da's days do not say moist, in fact, it is already the wall that has been pushed down by everyone.
Why? This can be seen from the following plot.
It is said that on this day, Feng Jie took Jia Baoyu and played in Ningguo Mansion all day, during which she also saw Qin Zhong as before. After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark, Yushi let him go outside:
"First send two young men to send this Qin Xianggong family."
As a result, when Qin Zhong got up to leave, You Shi asked, and the following people said that the arrangement was Jiao Da. Moreover, at that time, this Jiao Da, who was drunk, scolded him when he heard that he had let himself go to Qin Zhong blindly with a black light.
When You Shi and Qin Shi heard this, they immediately said in unison:
"What did you send him to do!" With these boys, which one can't be sent? ”
How did Ming Let send "two boys" to send Qin Zhong, how did he become Jiao Da, and he was still taking advantage of his drunkenness? You Shi and Qin Shi's sentence "What did you send him to do again" shows that similar situations have been felt before, not the first time!
In summary, it is very obvious that someone has made a bad mistake and deliberately given Jiao Da eye drops.
So, who is this person?
In fact, Jiao Da is just a rectum, but he is not a fool. He also knew in his heart who was tripped him up. Therefore, the person he scolded at the beginning was Lai Er, the grand governor of Ning GuoFu.
It is worth mentioning that the chief administrator of Rong Guofu is called Lai Da.
You say coincidence!
If nothing else, just looking at this name, it doesn't look like a serious person. Sure enough, as soon as Jiao Da began to scold, he made a clear statement about the merits of the matter:
"If you have a good errand, send someone else, and if you send someone in the middle of the night like this, send me."
In Jiao Da's heart, he was actually very aggrieved.
It's not that he relies on the old and sells the old man and doesn't want to work, but because he is old, he wants to get some idle work. This would have been nothing to blame, not to mention that he had made such a great contribution to the Ning Guo Mansion, just because he was older, it was also right to take care of him.
But since this is the case, like a black light blind fire to send people, why let Jiao Da go?
That's what the people below are making bad.
Of course, on the other hand, jiao da himself is not without a problem.
For example, when he scolded Lai Er, he said:
"Who is in the eyes of Grandpa Jiao in the past twenty years?" Don't talk about the bastard kings and eight lambs of your hands! ”
It is not difficult to see from this passage that Jiao Da did not put his old qualifications in front of these subordinates.
But then his trouble came.
After all, standing out from the flock, the crane is comfortable, looking around, none of them can compare with their own. But the chicken is unwilling, the old feeling is pressed to the end, not to say, the key to everyone's attention is on the crane, they will not have the day to come out.
What to do?
There is, of course, a way to do it. The most effective is to secretly put down all kinds of eye drops and tripping, until everyone thinks that the crane is not only nothing, but also quite obstructive.
Jiao Da's situation at this time, isn't that what it is?
Next, even in the case of drunkenness and anger, even the master's whole family was scolded. At this moment, even if he "stands out from the crowd" again, it is impossible to tolerate him anymore.
This is the bottom inner volume between the little people.
The heart is not deep, and the means are not poisonous.
In the traditional culture of our Chinese, why has moderation always been emphasized? Sometimes, in order to conform to the middle way, even if you want to make yourself seem very mediocre.
Here's why.
The so-called "wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it; the pile will come out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent", this is not only a natural phenomenon, but also the hearts of the people of the world. Even among the low-level people, they are not spared, and may be more unscrupulous.
Therefore, in life, you must not be careless.
Friends who have not seriously read "Dream of the Red Chamber", especially this "Li Yan Zhai Reappraisal of Stone Records", may wish to buy a reading.
Don't be too fast, but think hard.
