Grandma Liu is an old village woman that Cao Xueqin prefers, she is an ordinary farmer, but she is different from an ordinary peasant woman, because Grandma Liu is a wise old peasant woman.
In the original work, Liu Grandma entered the RongGuo Mansion three times, and every time she appeared, Liu Grandma's performance was praised one after another, and in her, there were always surprises that you could not think of, making people feel loved and happy.
First, there is courage and strategy
This word is used on an old woman, which does not sound appropriate, but Liu Grandma deserves these 4 words, she is really bold and careful.
Grandma Liu lives with her son-in-law, usually helping to take care of a grandson, because she lives in the son-in-law's house, she is very interesting and tries her best to help. That winter was approaching, and the family had not yet purchased a number of items for the winter, and the son-in-law was anxious to drink. Grandma Liu also knew his difficulties and wanted to give him some comfort.
Unexpectedly, the son-in-law's dog was full of complaints, thinking that Grandma Liu was talking empty words, only moving her mouth, and there was no good way.
"Not really. The plot is in man, and the success is in heaven. We have found it, looking at the blessing of the bodhisattva, there are some opportunities that are unknown. As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, Grandma Liu feels that she should try it."
Grandma Liu had a clever move, she thought of the Jinling Wang family, and now that the second lady had become the wife of Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion, she could think of some methods from Lady Wang. The dog wanted Grandma Liu to go first and try the limelight. Grandma Liu refused, feeling that her poor and sour appearance could not climb the gate of the Hou Mansion at all. Therefore, the dog gave her an idea, let Grandma Liu take the board, find Lady Wang's dowry Zhou Rui's family, and let her introduce her into the house.
Grandma Liu thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible, so she agreed, and she said: "Sure enough, there are some benefits, everyone is beneficial, that is, there is no silver to come, I will also go to the Houmen of the Gongfu to see the world, and I will not waste my life." ”
The daughter and son-in-law encouraged a few words, and Grandma Liu made up her mind to go to Jia Province, indicating that she was not afraid to go at all. What is the specification of Jia Fu, put it to the present, that is one of the four richest people in the first-tier cities, the mansion compound, the next people can be regarded as rich people, Liu Grandma has only seen Madame Wang once, she dares to try, had to serve.
Grandma Liu is just a rural woman who has never seen the world, sometimes the family still can't eat, in order to make the family's life better, Grandma Liu has the courage to go to Jia Province.
Therefore, when I said that Grandma Liu was a brave and resourceful person, she first thought of having this distant relative, and after consulting with her daughter and son-in-law, she started with Madame Wang's dowry, rather than recklessly going to the door to ask Madame Wang. Go to Zhou Rui's family first, you can probe the mouth, if you can, you can proceed to the next step, if there is no door, then there will be no loss.
2. Duty
Zhou Rui's family is still quite reliable, although she is also in order to decorate her face in front of Liu Grandma, a poor person, and her face can be more glorious, she introduced Liu Grandma to Wang Xifeng, who gave Liu Grandma twenty-two silver to let him buy some items, and also gave some change to hire a car to go home.
Grandma Liu is indeed not an ordinary person, coming out of Wang Xifeng, her approach is too clever, the original work is written like this:
"Grandma Liu wanted to leave a piece of silver to buy fruit with the children of the Zhou Rui family to eat, and how the Zhou Rui family put it in their eyes, they insisted on refusing."
Because it was the help of the Zhou Rui family that she was able to meet Wang Xifeng. She was originally looking for Lady Wang, thinking that Lady Wang was in charge, indicating that she did not know anything about Jia Fu, Lady Wang had long ignored these family affairs, if there was no Zhou Rui family, Liu Grandma would enter Jia Mansion, and she would also crash like a headless fly and be driven out. Grandma Liu gave Zhou Rui's family a piece of silver, one was to express gratitude, and the other was to explain her duty, knowing that she was borrowing the light of Zhou Rui's family.
Why do you say she's her duty? Just look at her second time entering the RongGuo Mansion.
Many people see the "big leader" once, they think that they have climbed the "big leader", and the next time they can directly find the leader, without going through others, this practice is very unruly. Grandma Liu was different, when she came to Jia Fu for the second time to express her gratitude, she still passed through Zhou Rui's family.
"Suddenly, Grandma Liu and Ban'er, who had come back to fight Feng, came again, sitting in the house over there, accompanied by Zhang Cai's Zhou Rui family."
Grandma Liu also saw Wang Xifeng last time, and she also knew Ping'er, and she could have told the gatekeeper that she had come to find Ping'er, but she didn't do it, she still went to find Zhou Rui's family first. This proves that she knows her identity, has rules in doing things, and is a person of duty.
Third, self-deprecation
In the process of visiting the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu was a beam-jumping clown in the eyes of those people in Jia Province. Grandma Liu knew that everyone laughed at her and made fun of her, and she was not angry, and she deliberately laughed at herself to amuse everyone.
Wang Xifeng planted flowers on Grandma Liu's head, but Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Although I am old, I was also affectionate when I was young, and I love a flower powder, and it is good to be old today." ”
When Grandma Liu later ransomed Sister Qiao, she grabbed the pink flowers that Sister Qiao was wearing on her head, and this detail proved that Grandma Liu knew that wearing flowers was to entertain others, and she was played with like a monkey.
In the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu knew that others were watching her jokes, and she tried her best to cooperate with the performance. She deliberately read the "Provincial Relatives Villa" as "Jade Emperor Treasure Hall", and also praised Chun as a fairy, and said that the Grand View Garden was more beautiful than the New Year painting, and when she tried to eat eggplant, she said that it was not eggplant flavor, and Grandma Liu had been showing the people of Jia Fu that she had never seen the world, in order to flatter and elevate Jia Fu and make them happy, which really had to be admired.
Grandma Liu was poor, and she admitted that she was poor, unlike some people, who were obviously poor and jealous, saw rich relatives, superficially flattered, and said some sarcastic things behind their backs. Grandma Liu has always admitted that others are good, is a sincere praise, she does not feel how humiliating she is poor, because this is the truth, others laugh at themselves a few times, it is not a big deal.
Fourth, observe the words and observe the color
When meeting with Jia Mu, Liu Grandma's ability to observe and observe colors was really first-class, and when she arrived at Jia Mu's house, among so many ladies and ladies, Liu Grandma first looked for Jia Mu.
I saw an old woman crooked on a bed, and behind her sat a beautiful woman wrapped in a sarong, pounding her legs, and Sister Feng was standing and laughing. Grandma Liu knew that it was Jia Mu, and she was busy laughing with her, and after a few blessings, she said, 'Please old life star Ann.' ’”
Grandma Liu was not afraid of the stage at all, and her mind was very clear. Wang Xifeng asked her to tell her about the interesting things in the village, and Grandma Liu first shirked it, and then observed it for a while, and she decided to make up a few:
"Although Grandma Liu is a village savage, she was born with some insight, and moreover, when she is old, she has experienced the world, and she is happy to see the first Jia Mother, and the second time she sees that these brothers and sisters love to listen, she will make up some words to say when she has nothing to say."
Grandma Liu first made up a story about the firewood pile on a snowy day, but unexpectedly, the horse shed suddenly went out of water, Jia Mu was timid, and she was most afraid of such things as fire and water, so she sent people to worship the "water god".
"Jia Mu chanted the Buddha in her mouth, and ordered people to burn incense in front of the fire god." Jia Mu said casually, and Grandma Liu remembered.
When Grandma Liu heard this, she guessed that Jia Mu believed these things, so she made up a matter of a ninety-year-old grandmother who believed in Buddha's grandson to please Jia Mu. When Jia Mu heard it, she was very happy, and this story was also very much in line with Madame Wang's wishes.
It is worthy of the story of Grandma Liu, who got her grandson at the age of ninety, flattered Jia Mu 3 times: first, it is said that Jia Mu believes in those things is very useful, and Jia Mu believes well; second, it means that Jia Mu will live a long life and can live to more than ninety years; the third is to say that Jia Mu will have children and grandchildren, and the future days will be better and better.
Grandma Liu's ability to observe and observe colors is really not comparable to ordinary people, she will speculate on the psychology of others, guess a quasi, like a mother-in-law who has stayed in the compound of the deep house.
Fifth, speak
People who can talk, the words that come out, are to make people feel comfortable. Although Grandma Liu can't read a few words, her speaking skills are really not something that ordinary people can learn.
In the Grand View Garden, Sister Feng and Mandarin Duck asked her to please Jia Mu, and afterwards they also felt that it was a bit excessive, and they said that they let Grandma Liu not be angry, it was a joke.
Grandma Liu said, "When the girl speaks there, we coax the old lady to open her heart, but what's the annoyance!" You tell me first, and I'll understand, but everyone makes a joke. I'm going to be upset, so I won't say it. ”
As soon as Grandma Liu said this, Sister Feng and Mandarin Duck had no burden in their hearts, and she herself also found face for herself, and the things that she had just played ugly and were teased were all playful, and she was just playing with you.
There is nothing good in the poor family, Liu Grandma came to Jia Fu for the second time, she wanted to express her gratitude, she brought a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables grown at home, and also wanted others to think that these things are also rare.
In the original work, Grandma Liu said: "It is so easy to hit two more stones of grain this year, and the melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables are also abundant." This is the first to pick together, and did not dare to sell it, left the tip of filial piety aunts and grandmothers to taste. The girls are also tired of eating the taste of the mountains and the sea every day, and this eating a wild child can also be regarded as our poor heart. ”
Grandma Liu is showing that these things are the best in the family, it is the head stubble, that is to say, it is a fresh melon fruit, very fresh. These good things should have been sold, but she did not sell them, and first brought them to the aunts and grandmothers to taste, indicating that they attach importance to Jia Fu. In this way, these things are difficult to buy with money, they are planted by themselves, and they are the best sent, and Grandma Liu is praising her own things in a different way, and bringing these things is the heart.
When eating snacks in daguanyuan, all kinds of dim sum, Liu Grandma has never seen it at all, if it is praised by ordinary people, it will say "really beautiful", "too good-looking", Liu Grandma is not, she said:
"Our most clever sisters there can't make such a piece of paper." I love to eat, and I am reluctant to eat, so I pack some houses to make tricks for them to pour well. ”
The most skillful woman in her family can't cut it so beautifully with paper scissors, let alone make noodles, which means that these snacks are too delicate, and the craftsmanship is the best.
Grandma Liu could talk and brought benefits to herself, and this time when she came home, she took these things with her: 108 pairs of silver, a number of green yarns and silk horses, various kinds of sweets made in the heart, two buckets of Oda japonica rice, various dried fruits, a few new clothes of the old lady, some medicinal herbs, and so on. These good things, money may not be able to buy, Liu Grandma is really full of loads this time.
As soon as she said it, she talked about the hearts of others, no one listened to it, and Grandma Liu really exaggerated all the people. As the saying goes, people who can talk can't go hungry anywhere they go.
Sixth, gratitude
The first time Grandma Liu entered the Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng gave her 20 taels of silver, which was enough for Grandma Liu's family to spend a year. Grandma Liu has always remembered the kindness of Jia Fu, the second time she went to Jia Fu, she just wanted to send some things and express her gratitude, but she did not expect to take away so many good things when she went back, which was also because she was grateful for the blessings brought to her. If she takes 20 taels of silver, is not satisfied, does not know gratitude, goes empty-handed for the second time, or asks for money, I am afraid that she will not even have a son.
These melons, fruits and vegetables are just one of the embodiments of Liu Grandma's understanding of gratitude, and in the matter of Sister Qiao, Liu Grandma really interpreted what is called Zhi En Tu Bao.
"If we don't fight our aunt, his old lady will starve to death." Nowadays, although the Zhuang family is bitter, the family has also earned several acres of land, drilled a well, planted some vegetables, vegetables, melons and fruits, and sold a lot of money in a year, enough for them to chew and eat. In the past two years, my aunt and grandmother have often given some clothes and cloth, which is very good in our village. ”
Through Wang Xifeng's help, Grandma Liu's family is now living well, and they are all good in their village, and she remembers this kindness. After Wang Xifeng's accident, as soon as Grandma Liu heard about it, she immediately went to the palace to visit.
In the original work, Jia Huan wants to sell Sister Qiao to a foreign domain as a concubine, Jia Lian is not at home, Wang Xifeng is critically ill, and no one can help Wang Xifeng. Grandma Liu came up with the idea to let the dog secretly take Sister Qiao to their side, she would act as a matchmaker, marry the local rich man, and live a good life. Wang Xifeng said that listening to Grandma Liu was entrusting the second half of Sister Qiao's life to Grandma Liu.
In the TV series, here and the original work is different, Wang Xifeng was imprisoned, Liu Grandma came to visit the prison, learned that Qiao Sister was sold to Guazhou in Nan Province, she said that she must get Qiao Sister back, Wang Xifeng at this time took Liu Grandma as a benefactor, and also knelt down for her. Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng was beautiful, and the last thing that could help her was Liu Grandma, this kneeling, for her only child Qiao Sister, was deserved, and Liu Grandma could afford it.
Grandma Liu did not live up to the trust and found Sister Qiao, but the old mother did not let anyone go, and Grandma Liu went home to sell the house and sold the land to make up enough silver, so she ransomed Sister Qiao, and finally married Ban'er and lived an ordinary life.
Grandma Liu had the favor of Wang Xifeng, and after Wang Xifeng's accident, she did not hide far away, and she still wanted to help.
At last:
The image of Grandma Liu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is the closest to the general public, but she has an extra layer of wisdom aura, and many people cannot reach her kind of realm.
Her words are full of wisdom, the way of dealing with the world is praised, know how to be grateful, and use the pretend to be stupid to go to Bo Jia Mu to smile, Liu Grandma is the real wisdom and foolishness.
