Lin Daiyu went to Xue Baochao's room to eat, why did Zi Juan first send someone to send a pair of chopsticks and a spoon

Lin Daiyu wanted to go to Xue Baochao's room for breakfast, and Zi Juan first sent someone to send a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.

During the period when Jia Mu, Lady Wang, Lady Xing and other people with status entered the dynasty to accompany the festival, Aunt Xue moved into XiaoxiangGuan to live.

On a spring morning, Xue Baochao sent Ying'er to ask Lin Daiyu for rose salt, and after arriving at Xiaoxiang Hall, Lin Daiyu told Ying'er that she had breakfast and Aunt Xue bao's aunt to eat in Xue Baochao's room, and asked her to go back and talk about it.

Ying'er went to the Purple Crane's room to find the Ruiguan who had come with him to go back, and the Lotus Official and the Ruiguan were inseparable for a while, and the Purple Crane used the spoon used by Lin Daiyu with a piece of scarf foreskin, and handed it to the Lotus Official: "You took this first, and it is also a bad trip." ”

Why did the Purple Crane do this?

The first possibility: Is there something wrong with Lin Daiyu's condition?

Lin Daiyu is weak and sick, and has not been cured for a long time, so that many people think that she has tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis has a certain contagiousness, although Lin Daiyu has been using drugs for many years, but the condition has gradually worsened, and the purple crane, as her personal maid, knows her condition very well.

Lin Daiyu went to Xue Baochao's room for breakfast, using her own chopsticks and spoons to avoid infection.

This speculation is actually nonsense. If Lin Daiyu really had an infectious disease, the people in the Purple Crane and Xiaoxiang Pavilion would at least one or two people get sick, if not all of them. The actual situation is: no one in xiaoxiang hall is sick, so Lin Daiyu's claim that there is an infectious disease is not correct, and there is another reason why Zijuan sent someone to send chopsticks and spoons.

The second possibility: Is it because Lin Daiyu has a cleaning habit?

Lin Daiyu is well known for having a habit of cleanliness.

Jia Baoyu was deliberately pushed down by Jia Huan to burn the lamp oil, during the healing period, Lin Daiyu came to visit, Jia Baoyu was full of medicine, "knowing that she is a fetish and clean, can't see these things", ("Dream of the Red Chamber" 25th time) so unwilling to let her watch, Lin Daiyu knew this, forcibly moved her face and carefully inspected it before leaving with confidence.

Not only did Jia Baoyu know Lin Daiyu's cleanliness, but Xue Baochao was also very clear.

At noon in the summer, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao ate watermelon in Madame Wang's room, and heard that the attacker was named as a quasi-aunt. The two came out and returned to the Grand View Garden together, on the way Xue Baochao asked Lin Daiyu to go to lotus champs, Lin Daiyu said that she wanted to take a bath, and then the two dispersed. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 36th)

Lin Daiyu's cleanliness habits, Jia Mu also knows it.

When Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Jia Mu took her and everyone in Jia Tanchun's room and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Let's go." The sisters did not like people to sit, for fear of dirty houses. Let's not be blind, just sit in the boat and drink. "Everybody get up and go." TanChun smiled and said, "This is where it is, and you can't ask the old lady and aunt to sit down." Jia Mu smiled and said, "My three ladies are good, only two yu'er are hateful." When we came back and got drunk, we went to their house. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 40th)

Jia Mu said that Lin Daiyu was "hateful", implying that Lin Daiyu had a cleanliness habit.

Lin Daiyu has a cleaning habit, and it seems reasonable for Zi Juan to send someone to send a spoon because of this, but if Lin Daiyu has a cleaning habit when eating, Zi Juan should send someone to send a full set of tableware, instead of just a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.

So why did the Purple Crane do this?

Ostensibly, it was an errand assigned to her to fulfill the lotus official.

In fact, the situation is far more complicated than sending people to do things.

Zi Juan is the "half master" of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Jia Mu sent her to Lin Daiyu's room to not only take care of Lin Daiyu, but also to manage Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

How many people are there in Xiaoxiang Pavilion? At least 18 people.

As soon as Lin Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu equipped her with purple cranes, and also equipped her with personnel:

"In addition to the nursing mother who was a child, there are four other teaching grandmothers, in addition to the two young ladies who are in charge of the puja, there are five or six little maidens who sweep the house and summon them." (Dream of the Red Chamber, 3rd)

After moving into the Grand View Garden, "each place added two old women and four servants, who were in charge of cleaning up." (Dream of the Red Chamber, 23rd).

The team of 18 people needs to be managed, and the Purple Crane sent the Lotus official to run errands, and must do things according to the rules, in order to "be famous", so let her send a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.

There is a deeper reason why Zi Juan sends people to do things like this: she wants to brush up on her personal presence through this way of doing things.

In order to prove personal value, it is often necessary to brush the sense of existence.

Rich people use money to brush the sense of existence, people with good looks are brushing the sense of existence with their faces, purple crane does not have such an advantage, can only use their limited authority, by sending someone to send a pair of chopsticks, a spoon to achieve self-identity.

This move of the Purple Crane, in the eyes of Xue Baochao, Shi Xiangyun and Aunt Xue, will also have a special effect: Lin Daiyu is everyone's bridesmaid, and her behavior is higher than others. While elevating the master, it also indirectly improves the status of the individual in front of everyone.

Therefore, the purple crane uses a pair of chopsticks and a spoon to make a full article, which is worth learning!
