During Jia Baoyu's birthday, Xiangling fought grass with everyone in the Grand View Garden, and accidentally fell down during the game, and the pomegranate red dress was dirty. When he was at a loss, Baoyu said that the raider had an identical red dress, which he had not worn because he had been filial piety, and proposed to change it. Xiangrensu and Xiangling make good friends, and after hearing the situation, they generously help each other, and Xiangling is grateful.
Why is there a red dress during the period of filial piety?
The raider himself did not have the ability to make clothes, and this red dress could only be a reward from Madame Wang.
Why did Madame Wang reward her with a red dress? On closer examination, there are at least three reasons.
First, Madame Wang gave her a red dress to maintain her personal authority.
As we all know, important people often say nothing.
In the Rongguo Mansion, Lady Wang was an important person, and when she promoted the raiders as the people in the Baoyu House, she explicitly told Wang Xifeng:
"Ming'er picked a good lady and sent her to the old lady to make up for the attackers, and cut off the attackers." Of the twenty-two silver of my monthly routine, I took out two or two pieces of silver and one hanging money to give to the attackers. In the future, all those who have Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou will also attack people, but this point of attacking people will be evenly distributed from my sub-case, and there is no need to move the officials. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 36th)
Madame Wang's words count, and the specific performance is to see people and see things.
As the would-be aunt in the baoyu room, the attacker must also have something that other people of the same status have.
In the Grand View Garden, there are two people with the same identity as the attacker, one is Xiangling, the other is Ping'er, Xiangling has a red skirt, and naturally needs to make one for the attacker.
Second, Madame Wang gave her a red dress to implement Jia Mu's request.
As a large feudal family, Jia Fu's power is arranged in a pyramid from top to bottom, and the spire is Jia Mu, jia mu has requirements, and everyone must implement it.
The three from four virtues of feudal society require that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, and daughter-in-law must obey the management of mother-in-law, even if the mother-in-law has a problem, the daughter-in-law can only implement it.
For the restraint and management of attacking people, Jia Mu has clear requirements.
During the Spring Festival, everyone gathered together, Jia Mu saw that baoyu did not attack people around, so she asked the reason in public, and Lady Wang replied that the attacker's mother had died, and there was hot filial piety. Jia Mu nodded and smiled, "But I can't talk about filial piety or filial piety with my master." If he's still with me, won't he be here? Because we are too wide, some people have made it an example not to look up these things. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 54th)
Jia Mu said very gently, but said a fact: the raider is the Jia family bought into the house, the slave belongs to the master, has nothing to do with the individual original family, and has no qualifications and rights to pay attention to filial piety in front of the master.
After Jia Mu said the rules, Wang Xifeng was clever and prevaricating the matter on the grounds that the Baoyu House needed to be guarded. However, what Jia Mu said, Madame Wang must carry out.
During the period of filial piety, she made a red dress for the attacker, indicating her attitude, reminding the attacker to abide by the rules and do things according to the regulations, this way, natural and clever, highlights the art of the rich and noble.
Third, Madame Wang gave her a red dress to enhance the status of the Xue family.
Everything that people strive for is related to interests, and the basic principle of ordinary people doing things is to be unprofitable and early.
Madame Wang made skirts for the attackers, in fact, it was also to "wave the flag and shout" for the Xue family.
The red dress made by the attacker is not a finished product, but is made of materials. Xiangling clearly revealed to Baoyu about the origin of the skirt:
"This was brought by the former lyre girl." The girl made one, I made one, and today I got up. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 62nd)
Xue Baoqin brought fabric from home and made skirts for the Xue family. The skirt of the attacker and the skirt of Xiangling are exactly the same, regardless of the material or style, which fully shows that Madame Wang used the material provided by the Xue family, or Xue Baoqin made three identical skirts and privately gave one to the attacker.
Madame Wang's actions made the attackers feel the power of the Xue family, and let the people of Jia Fu feel the wealth and wealth of the Xue family. Behind the show off capital, it is actually to enhance the status of the Xue family.
Lady Wang can not only harmonize the sisterly love between the individual and Aunt Xue, but also pave the way for the marriage of Xue Baochao and Jia Baoyu, when the decline, Baoyu's marriage partner needs a rich daughter to support, rather than needing a Lin Daiyu-style lady, subtly, Xue Baochao won a round of Lin Daiyu.
revelation:
Life is often like this, marriage in the face of cold reality, often in an inconspicuous way, affecting one person and one thing, infiltrating daily life.
In real life, men and women pursue love, and parents value strength. Parents who enter the marriage know that the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea of daily life cannot be obtained by loving each other, and the fireworks in the world need financial security, married life needs strength support, losing the foundation of material life, and marriage must fail.
Therefore, in this sense, Madame Wang's approach is not wrong. Therefore, Madame Wang made a red dress for the raiders of shou filial piety, which is worthy of praise!
