The appearance of embroidered spring sacs in the Grand View Garden means that there is a problem in the management of the Rongguo Mansion.
In order to strengthen management, Wang Xifeng led a team to inspect the Grand View Garden at night. Before the night investigation, Wang Shanbao's wife made a rumor to Lady Wang, and Qingwen was humiliated in public. After the night inspection, Madame Wang went to Yihong Courtyard and took Qingwen away. In order to punish her for her mistake, Qingwen only wore underwear to go out, and the outer clothes were left for the little girls to use.
After Madame Wang left, Baoyu couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to consult with the attackers and return Qingwen's clothes. The raider said:
"I have just laid down all his clothes and everything, and put them there. Nowadays, people have many eyes and are afraid of trouble during the day, and wait until the evening, quietly ask Mother Song to take it out for him. I still have a few hanging money saved for him. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 77th)
Although Raider and Qingwen are called sisters, they are competitors in Jia Baoyu's room.
After the raider and Baoyu secretly tried, Baoyu treated the two with obvious differences; during the Dragon Boat Festival, Qingwen angrily scolded the attackers for doing ugly things, and Baoyu publicly defended the interests of the attackers; after Madame Wang promoted the attackers to be an aunt-to-be, there were no secrets in Baoyu's room, Qingwen was picked up, and Baoyu directly suspected that it was the attackers. From this, it can be seen that the two are on the same page. In this case, after Qingwen was driven away by Lady Wang, why didn't the attackers fall into the well and give Qingwen a few hanging money they had saved?
The reason is simple, she is not doing this for Qingwen, but for herself.
01
To do so is to covet the name of "virtuousness".
Raiders have always been known for their virtuousness.
Feng Lu tea incident Baoyu smashed the cup, Jia Mu sent someone to inquire, the attacker took responsibility, saying that he accidentally slipped and broke the cup.
Aunt Li left Baoyu with the sugar steamed cheese to eat, and the raider was afraid that Baoyu would be angry and insisted that she liked to eat air-dried chestnuts.
Bao Yu took a nap, and the little girls all fell asleep soundly, and she gave Bao Yu an embroidered mandarin duck belly pocket while chasing insects for Bao Yu.
Madame Wang privately praised her:
“...... Recently, because I heard everyone praise you behind their backs, I only said that you were just paying attention to Baoyu, or that everyone was in front of you, these small meanings are good, so I will act as one with the old aunt. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 34th)
Not only that, Madame Wang also affirmed her in front of Jia Mu:
Although the appearance of the attacker was slightly inferior to that of Qingwen, it was placed in the room, and it was also considered to be a second-class." Moreover, acting generously and honestly, in the past few years, he has never met Baoyu naughty. Fan Baoyu was very foolish, and she only had to die to persuade her. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 78th)
As a sage, the practice is naturally consistent, Baoyu proposed to send clothes and money to the attackers, and the raiders laughed: "I was originally a sage who has been famous for a long time, and even this idea of a good name will not be bought!" (Dream of the Red Chamber, 77th)
From the attack, it can be speculated that she did it in order to be a good sage.
02
The raider did this to implement Baoyu's request and take money to treat Qingwen's illness.
After Qingwen was driven away, Baoyu judged that Madame Wang would not let Qingwen return to Yihong Courtyard again, so she told the attacker:
“...... Hide her things, do not hide them, and quietly send people out with her. Or with the money we often accumulate, take a few hangings out to give her a good time, and it is also your sister's good. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 77th)
After listening to what Bao Yu said, the attacker immediately stated that it had been done in advance.
There are profound reasons why people take the initiative to attack people. Madame Wang treated the attacker as a quasi-aunt and treated her like Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, but she was slow to give her a name, becoming a "terrier" in the attacker's heart.
Although the raiders had close contact with Baoyu, the good times were not long. On the major matter of Baoyu's marriage, she chose to stand in the faction of Lady Wang and Xue Baochao, which was diametrically opposed to Baoyu's inner thoughts, so she gradually lost Baoyu's trust.
Baoyu is the root of her aunt, her life must be centered on Baoyu, the things entrusted by Baoyu, she must not only respond positively but also take the initiative to do a good job, especially things involving Qingwen, she must do well.
03
Raiders do this for peace of mind.
In life, there is a kind of soul. Some are interesting souls, some are boring souls, whether interesting or uninteresting, they need peace of mind, and only with a fixed mind will they live a stable life.
Bao Yu suspected that the attacker was Madame Wang's eyes and ears, and the attacker strenuously denied it. However, judging from Madame Wang's possession of Baoyu, only the raiders have more secrets and know the details, so Baoyu suspects that the raiders secretly inform Lady Wang.
If the attacker secretly informs Madame Wang, she takes the initiative to give Qingwen a few hanging money for self-redemption; if the attacker does not inform, she must prove herself with frank behavior, so she will also take the initiative to give Qingwen a few hanging money she has saved.
Therefore, as long as Baoyu doubts, it is enough to make her panic, and redeeming with money can soothe her heart.
With three considerations, the attacker will naturally release his previous suspicions, do not care about other people's rumors, and privately send someone to give Qingwen's clothes and a few hanging money he has saved to Qingwen.
There is nothing wrong with attacking people, giving Qingwen a few hanging money to earn fame, calming her heart, and resolving Baoyu's doubts, this move has a hundred benefits and no harm, so she said cheerfully and did generously.
