Dream of the Red Chamber belongs to the chapter back novel, when we look at each round, we will find that there is a relatively confrontational title, to completely summarize the general content of this time, can let us quickly understand the main meaning of this chapter.
Many times the two contents in a chapter are very closely related, such as "than the psychic oriole slightly revealing, exploring the treasure jade hidden acid", because Jia Baoyu's psychic treasure jade and Xue Baochao's golden lock, a gold, a jade, and the above eight words also match, secretly coinciding with the "golden jade good relationship", Jia Baoyu is to visit the sick Xue Baochao, which caused Lin Daiyu's sour jealousy later, which is very understandable, but some of the backs look back, there is no connection between the two contents, but they are arranged in one time, which is somewhat interesting. For example, in the sixth episode of the Dream of the Red Chamber, the title is "Jia Baoyu first tried the cloud and rain, and Liu Grandma entered the Rongguo Mansion".
Jia Baoyu and Liu Grandma, who appear in this question, belong to two classes, one is a brother of a rich and noble family who eats and wears without worry, and all day long, in addition to food and clothing, there are some inexplicable idle worries. One is an old widow whose life is unsustainable in a poor family, and two people who are not compatible with each other.
Looking at the main things the two people did, Jia Baoyu was experiencing the most intimate thing of an adolescent boy, and he had a spring dream in Qin Keqing's luxurious version of the bedroom. Inside there were the yarns that Xi Shihuan had worn, the collapse of Princess Shouyang's lower bed, the treasure mirror used by Wu Zetian, and the golden plate that Zhao Feiyan had danced. The ultimate in luxury. When Jia Baoyu returned to his room, Baoyu and the attacker talked about this matter, so he told the attacker about the dream, "The matter of the cloud and rain taught by the strong attacker and the policeman" The two secretly tried it, which was Jia Baoyu's wind and snow.
And Grandma Liu's family is a family who sees that winter is coming, there is no food and clothing for the winter, and the son-in-law's dog is worried all day long, looking for idleness at home. Discuss with your family and go to Rong Guo Mansion to fight the autumn wind. In order to ensure that this trip is not empty, it is first calculated that Grandma Liu will come forward and bring the underage grandson Ban'er. Then it was planned that it would be possible to worship the true Buddha through Zhou Rui's house first, and after the family had made up, they would leave early in the morning to rush to Jia Province.
This time, jia baoyu's wind and snow moon are the beginning, which occupies only a small space, and then focuses on how Liu Grandma rubbed into the gate of the Rongguo Mansion in a state of uneasiness, and how she endured the need for money in a state of undisturbed blushing. What is very interesting is that when Grandma Liu was just about to ask for help with her old face, she interspersed with Jia Rong's search for Wang Xifeng to borrow a glass kang screen.
This is a very interesting interlude, and the important matter of survival in Grandma Liu's place has been shelved. The glass kang screen should be a valuable thing, otherwise the Ningguo Mansion would not have looked for Wang Xifeng to borrow and use it to feast on a very important guest. Here the glass kang screen is an appliance to show off wealth, not a must, but a luxury.
In this way, Liu Grandma had to swallow back the words to her mouth, and the emotions that had been brewing for half a day had to be suppressed. In her eagerness, she looked at Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong and laughed, it was easy to wait for Jia Rong to retreat, Liu Grandma had a chance to speak, Wang Xifeng shouted through the window again, "Brother Rong is back", but thanks to Wang Xifeng's "this will have no spirit", it gave Liu Grandma the opportunity to open her mouth again. You can imagine the anxiety, nervousness, and trepidation in Grandma Liu's heart during the waiting process.
Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng were both about seventeen years old, young, dressed in beautiful clothes, big fish and big meat all day, Wang Xifeng's full of fish meat only moved a few things, they took it down, and the board was drooling down. Grandma Liu is a seventy-year-old woman, but she wants to be here, whispering and speaking well, just so that the family can live in the future. Her mood fluctuated like a roller coaster with Wang Xifeng's expression. When Wang Xifeng said, "There are great difficulties," Liu Grandma's heart suddenly jumped, and when she heard that Wang Xifeng gave 20 taels of silver, she itched with joy.
Grandma Liu can't think about how life is so unfair, for her, face is secondary, living is the main thing, why did she come? Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was not embarrassed, and happily gave 20 taels of silver plus a string of money for a taxi, which completed Grandma Liu.
This time, whether it is Jia Baoyu in front of him trying Yunyu for the first time, or the joke between Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng later, what he presents is two completely different states of life from Liu Grandma. One is rich and idle, the other is seeking a livelihood, and in different living environments, each has different troubles.
In Jia Baoyu, in Wang Xifeng, in Jia Rong's mind, they could not have known that someone might be so poor that they had no food to eat, and they did not have that kind of life experience. Perhaps when Jia Fu fell and these princes and nobles could not survive, they would know that having food to eat was the most important thing in life.
Speaking of this, I think of Qingwen, who was cared for by Jia Baoyu in the Grand View Garden, which was the style of the deputy miss. However, after being sent out, he was still able to drink the black tea soup and realize that "people have no unbearable suffering."
The ending sentence of this time is "It is easy to receive help when you are proud, and it is better to win relatives and friends in the depths of grace", it seems that Wang Xifeng received Liu Grandma and completed the redemption of Liu Grandma's family, but on the other hand, we see that Liu Grandma's kind of difficulties and very optimistic way of thinking of methods are not to add vitality to this family that will decline in the future? After staying in the gentle and rich countryside for a long time, they have no vitality, like the walking dead, once they encounter difficulties, they will fall apart, and only people like Grandma Liu can help them get through the difficulties.
After Jia Baoyu first tried Yunyu, the excess in the book was written like this: "There are three or four hundred dings up and down the Rong Mansion, and there are one or two hundred things that happen every day, starting from which person to write it", as if the author also made a mistake, and then said" And then said" And then wrote "There is a person who defected to Jia Fu and started writing from his home", and then wrote about Liu Grandma, seemingly unintentionally, in fact, deliberately, deliberately presenting these two different states of life to everyone, under the same heaven and earth, the difference in life between people, the pursuit is so great. Otherwise, among the three or four hundred people, how could they choose Grandma Liu, who could not fight with the eight rods of Jia Fu?
