What Lin Daiyu saw and heard when she first entered the Rongguo Mansion was very important. It is not only the basis for her to understand the Jia family, but also cao Xueqin's use of her eyes to portray the personnel of the Jia family, and the readers should pay special attention.
Aunt Wang was the person Lin Daiyu should pay the most attention to. She will live in her uncle's house for a long time in the future, opposite her aunt day and night, equivalent to being adopted by Madame Wang.
Therefore, Madame Wang is very important to Lin Daiyu, and she cannot consider Daiyu through language and attitude.
Language is modified, and attitudes can be disguised. The most real Lady Wang can only be known through the long days, Lin Daiyu can wait, but the reader needs to understand as soon as possible.
Therefore, in the details of Lin Daiyu's contact with Madame Wang, Cao Xueqin must leave a foreshadowing, so that people can know that Madame Wang is a person at the first time. Surprisingly, the clue turned out to be a bottle.
(The third time) So the old lady led Dai Yu into the east room door. The large kang near the window is covered with scarlet ocean, and the front is equipped with a big red money python backrest, a stone green money python pillow, and an autumn fragrance color money python large mattress. On both sides, there is a pair of plum-style lacquer smallers. On the left, a few of the upper Wang Ding spoon incense boxes, on the right are a few Ru kiln beauty yao, which are inserted with fresh flowers, and tea bowls and phlegm boxes and other things. On the four chairs under the ground, there are silver and red sprinkler chairs, and there are four pairs of pedals at the bottom. On both sides of the chair, there is also a pair of high tables, and several tea bowls and vases are available. The rest of the furnishings, needless to say.
Madame Wang's main room is a symbol of the status of her wife's main room, and it is also Jia Zheng's residence. But usually there are no guests, and Mrs. Wang does not work and rest here, but in the three small main rooms in the east corridor.
Lin Daiyu saw the furnishings of the main room, and the pattern of the money python was the most eye-catching.
The so-called money python represents the status of the duke's house of the Jia family. Different from the current money python, it is the "dragon python" of the "python robe jade belt", which is similar to the shape of the dragon, but it has only four claws with one claw.
However, the core of the furnishings is "a pair of plum-style foreign lacquer small table".
On the left, "Wen Wang Ding" represents Jia Zheng. Jia Zhengzi Cun Zhou, corresponding to Wen Wang Ding. On the right side, the "Ru kiln beauty yao" represents Madame Wang.
When we understand Madame Wang's personality, we must start with this "Ru kiln beauty".
"Yao" is a pre-Qin bronze wine-making vessel, which prevailed in the Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty, with a trumpet-shaped mouth, a thin waist, and high circle feet.
The "Yao" in Madame Wang's room is not bronze, but Ru kiln porcelain. "Beauty" is not a wine vessel but a flower, which is specially used for flower arrangement decoration.
Ru kiln is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, "Ruguan Ge Junding", mainly light and elegant celadon porcelain. The glaze color is like "rain over the sky where the clouds break", "a thousand peaks and blue waves of green color" of the wonderful. It is a world-famous porcelain. The Jia family is rich and wealthy, and most of the furnishings in the home are Ru kilns and official kiln porcelain.
On the other hand, the "earth-definite bottle" in Xue Baochao's room is a general instrument of the kiln. Although "Ruguan GeJunding" is tied for the five famous kilns, the Ru kiln is the first and the dingyao kiln is the end. Representing the social status of the Jia family and the Xue family, they are all designed by Cao Xueqin in detail.
"Ruyao beauty Yao", Ru kiln represents status, "beauty" represents appearance, "Yao" represents temperament and character, all of which allude to Madame Wang.
Lady Wang was the presiding lady of Rongguo Mansion, and because Jia Zheng was lucky enough to inherit Rongguo Mansion, she and Jia Yu inherited the hereditary inheritance of the Duke of Rongguo respectively, and Lady Wang's wife Yifu Rong was also a hereditary first-class lady.
But "Yao" is not a good evaluation. Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty", "Shang li shilang book": "Now or to be on the side, think that they are responsible, their hearts are not in the middle, and everything is incomprehensible, although the foolish people still know it, but the wise and wise people are concerned!" ”
Madame Wang is like a beautiful person with flowers and beauties decorating her appearance, with a devious temperament and a deep heart. "The great fool knows nothing" can know the harm of the covetous.
After Madame Wang married into the Jia family, she reversed the "Second Miss Xiang Kuai" in the Wang family and became a "wooden person" in Jia Mu's mouth who was not in good health and did not have a family, which was a deliberate disguise.
Jia Zheng was lucky to inherit the RongGuo Mansion, and Lady Wang was well aware that the second landlord of the RongGuo Mansion was not in the right place, and it was inevitable that she would become the target of the public and has been Taoguang and obscure.
It was not until her daughter Yuan Chun was promoted to concubine of Xiande that she raised her eyebrows and gradually took control of the Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Xifeng gradually lost power.
Madame Wang is too good at whitewashing Taiping, and she still hides everywhere when there is no rice under the pot. Even if Jia Mu has insight, it is not easy to expose it to her face.
Ruyao beauty Yao reflects the character of Lady Wang, at this time Lin Daiyu is harmless to her, and when Jia Mu reveals that she wants to promote Bao Dai's marriage, she begins to be strongly dissatisfied and has a different heart for Lin Daiyu.
At that time, Lin Daiyu was only seven years old, and when she saw the beauty of the Ru kiln, she did not know the heart of her aunt, but it was just Cao Xueqin's foreshadowing.
Lin Daiyu did not know that the kind-looking aunt in front of her would bring her endless pain in the next ten years. That's a story for another day.
