After Jia Yuanchun's relatives in "Dream of the Red Chamber", he could not bear to see the expensive and beautiful Grand View Garden being left idle for no reason, and ordered the sisters to move into the garden with Baoyu.
Everyone has chosen their favorite place to live, and the wonderful thing is that in this process, there has not been a conflict of "someone is looking at the same place", and there is even no situation of "two people like the same place, and they are humble to each other", as if the place that everyone chooses is different.
Is it really such a "coincidence"?
The reason behind this, the first point, is probably the collective "understanding", which is the habitual "humility" caused by the clear distinction of status.
Who is the most favored of the crowd?
Nature is Jia Baoyu.
What's more, at that time, the preference for sons and daughters, granddaughters, nieces and grandchildren, in the eyes of Jia Mu, were inferior to the precious grandson Jia Baoyu;
Secondly, it is Lin Daiyu.
Jia Mu's love for this granddaughter is also extraordinary.
After that, in the "Mandarin Duck-Jia Pardon" incident, Tanchun gradually gained the eyes of Jia's mother by helping Madame Wang to play the round field;
Jia Mu looked at her differently, not because she was a granddaughter of blood, but like Madame Wang, because of her talent.
This kind of praise, which is similar to "professional appreciation", cannot be compared with the heartfelt love for relatives.
And who Jia Mu likes, everyone knows.
There may be an invisible hidden rule: Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu can pick their favorite first, and the others can choose among the remaining options.
Smart people like Tanchun and Xue Baochao would prejudge what Lin Daiyu Jia Baoyu liked early on, and would deliberately let go and avoid it.
And the sparseness such as Yingchun and Xichun, for this kind of thing is not really attentive, any place is indispensable, randomly selected.
Second, the different residences of Daguanyuan just meet different aesthetic needs.
Lin Daiyu loves Xiaoxiang Hall the most because of the quietness of the bamboo;
The weeping Concubine Xiaoxiang, the perfect echo of people and residences.
The Qiu Shuang Zhai where TanChun lives, as the name suggests, the scenery is cheerful, which is in line with the arrogance and arrogance of Tanchun's heart, "If I am a man, I will go out early to do a big cause".
Xue Baochao's residence in the Garden of 蘅芜苑, which was previously called "蘅芜清分", is described in the book as "more different from the previous Qingya".
Xue Baochao was not at all interested in exquisite ornaments and aesthetically carved painting styles, and was later criticized by Jia Mu for being "too vegetarian" and "not looking like it";
According to her aesthetic, this almost pure elegance is the most appetizing.
Among the sisters, the eldest sister-in-law, Li Gong, looks the least like a "talented woman", and the style of painting in the residence is also different;
The four sisters of Yuan Chun YingChun Exploring Spring Xi Chun correspond to the four skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are all talented women in different fields.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao are naturally top talented women.
In the resident population of Daguanyuan (only girls and daughters-in-law are discussed), only Li Gongjie does not have obvious talented female characteristics.
So she lives in Daoxiang Village, a place where birds and finches are not used, but specially raise chickens, ducks and geese, and the atmosphere of life is strong.
In summary, the preferences and characteristics of each residence and the host are actually very commensurate.
When building the Grand View Garden, there was no starting point for "leaving it for the girls to live in the future";
The builders don't really know what the girls like;
But the final result is such a perfect correspondence, which is probably another rare ingenuity.
