In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Liu Grandma, who betrayed her dignity and sold her obedience in exchange for "reward/relief", performed an impromptu talk show "Old Liu Lao Liu eats as much as a cow" in the Grand View Garden, which caused laughter in the hall.
On the surface, Grandma Liu is the pistachio of the elders, the pistachios of everyone, and a comedy performance artist.
But behind the scenes, Lin Daiyu's evaluation of her was "which door she counts as a grandmother", and deliberately quipped around the bend "Chewing Map with Locusts".
In his words, he was very dismissive of what Grandma Liu had done.
On the other hand, Miao Yu was even more disgusted with Grandma Liu.
I hated the cup that Grandma Liu had drunk.
Bao Yu proposes to "throw away the pity, it is better to give it to her", and Miao Yu turns the humiliation of "throwing away the cup she drank" into a false Shunshui human feeling that is difficult to ride the tiger (Bao Yu has opened his mouth).
On the ground where Grandma Liu stood, she had to arrange for someone to scrub it several times.
Her dissatisfaction and dislike for Grandma Liu, and even a hint of "hatred" that was vaguely offended.
The same is not very good to see Grandma Liu, but the attitudes of Lin Daiyu and Miao Yu are essentially different.
Lin Daiyu did not like Grandma Liu, not because she was old and poor, but because she was shrewd and sophisticated, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and her clinging means.
Her refined and satirical "Chewing on the Map with Locusts" satirizes not only Grandma Liu, but also the hypocritical Jia Fu who wants to show a sense of superiority.
In the final analysis, what she dislikes is not "poor", but "vulgar", worldly desires.
Lin Daiyu, such a young lady who eats a lot of money, cannot understand which is more important in the eyes of poor people who cannot afford to eat, "vulgar" or "decent", which is caused by many factors such as the living environment, the limitations of the times, the growth process, etc., can not be simply understood as Lin Daiyu has no empathy, let alone as Lin Daiyu's hatred of poverty and love of wealth.
In addition, it should be noted that when Lin Daiyu and her sisters get along, she has always liked to joke with everyone and tell jokes.
This point is sometimes easily misunderstood by outsiders as "harsh words are not easy to get along with", but the sisters who really know each other know that Lin Daiyu's jokes and ridicules are not substantial malice.
On the other hand, Miaoyu, Grandma Liu entered her room, drank her (unused) cup, and stood on her ground for a few minutes, as if blasphemously defiled her.
Her reaction, very extreme.
You know, Lin Daiyu and others have watched Liu Grandma's various performances in Jia Fu in "ugly herself to please everyone" and "impoverish herself to reflect the sense of superiority in Jia Fu", but these Miao Yu have not seen it.
The indirect contact time between Miao Yu and Liu Grandma was only a short period of time when Jia Mu brought Liu Grandma to drink tea.
During this time, Grandma Liu's performance was still decent, and there were no "ugly" comedy scenes.
That is to say, in this short period of time and a few sentences, Miao Yu had no chance to understand the personality of Liu Grandma's character of "selling ugly and selling misery to make money".
Her disgust and dislike had no basis for judging Liu Grandma's character and practices.
She disliked it, probably because of the intuitive impression that the other party was old, ugly, poor, indecent and undignified.
Who is ignorant of the world's sufferings and has no intention of ridicule, who thinks that they are honorable, ten thousand people who look down on "old ugly and poor Liu Grandma", at a glance.
