When I was a child, I watched "Huanzhu Gege" to see lively and happy: Xiaoyanzi is straightforward, jealous and hateful, and can be called the first person to rectify the harem workplace; Ziwei is gentle as water, kind and intelligent, and is a fairy daughter-like character who fell from the sky. The two of them are moving and quiet, one martial and one literate, one body and two sides, and they get along with sparks everywhere, which is really beautiful.
I have to say that Aunt Qiong Yao is so good at writing, she understands the psychology of the audience so well, no wonder her film and television works have been popular for so many years. However, when I grow up and watch "Huanzhu Gege", what I see is the hidden humanity behind these lively and happy activities. I found that Xiaoyanzi, who claims to be a "charlatan", is actually the most naïve, and Ziwei, a "deep and beautiful girl", is not "silly and sweet" at all, on the contrary, she is very deep in the city, she knows people very well, and understands human nature. For example, in the first and second episodes of the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" that I watched yesterday, Ziwei and Jin Suo went to Beijing to look for relatives, and met the "stealing" female snitch Xiaoyanzi at the wedding of the Liang family, and the three of them hit it off at first sight. Later, the three reunited in Liu Qingliuhong's juggling activities. Ziwei learned about Xiaoyanzi's life experience and residence, and within a few days, she went to the courtyard with the golden lock, took a bag of silver in her hand, and said that she sold the jewelry given by her mother and exchanged some silver for the living expenses of the people in the courtyard.
At first glance, you will think that crape myrtle is so kind. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that something is wrong: Ziwei doesn't know anything about Xiaoyanzi, she just met a few times, and she just poured out her heart and lungs like this, she couldn't live anymore, and she had to give people living expenses, which was not logical at all. Moreover, Ziwei and Jin Suo are not the kind of brainless people at all, they are very smart and clever, and from a few words from Liang's corrupt officials, it can be seen that this person is not trustworthy. In fact, the first time Ziwei met Xiaoyanzi, she had the heart to use Xiaoyanzi to help her find her father. Why do you say that? Because Ziwei was desperate at that time, she was not familiar with life in the capital, and she urgently needed the help of someone with many connections. Ziwei wanted to recognize her father through official channels at first, so she found Lord Jing/Guanliang. But after many contacts, it was found that Lord Liang was an unreliable corrupt/official, who often did not go to the office/gate, and helped his son to rob the people's daughter as a daughter-in-law.
How can Ziwei rest assured that she will tell him such a big secret? If she is not careful, she will not be able to recognize her father, and she may even lose her tokens, and even the innocence of herself and Jin Suo may not be guaranteed! She originally wanted to find other officials/officials, but the people of Beijing/City reminded her that it was basically impossible to find an adult who could handle things responsibly. Therefore, Ziwei gave up this right path and started the idea of Xiaoyanzi's "side door". Ziwei found that although Xiaoyanzi is doing the trick of walking the rivers and lakes, she has a wide range of ways and a lively brain, and the key is that she is upright, jealous and hateful, and loves to fight unevenly in her life. Ziwei understands the psychology of people like Xiaoyanzi very well, Xiaoyanzi is strong on the surface, but in fact, she is very soft-hearted, and her compassion is overflowing. If people treat her well, she will repay her. If she knew her poor background and the story of her lack of way to find her relatives, she would definitely help her personally. Therefore, Ziwei pawned the jewelry given by Xia Yuhe, took a bag of silver to the miscellaneous courtyard, and said that it was for the old and young people in the miscellaneous courtyard, but in fact, she was showing favor to Xiaoyanzi, saying that she said that she believed in Xiaoyanzi unconditionally.
Sure enough, when Xiaoyanzi saw that Ziwei was so simple, she was out of control, and made the old mistake of "pulling out a knife to help each other when the road is uneven", and even invited Ziwei to live in the courtyard, and also worshiped Ziwei, took her to the Xishan paddock, and tried her best to help Ziwei see the emperor. If it weren't for Xiaoyanzi fighting for her life to go to the paddock to see the emperor for her, Ziwei might not be able to find her father, let alone have a good marriage with Er Kang. Ziwei's investment in this bag of silver is really worth it, it solves her own food and housing problems, and also subdues the heart of Xiaoyanzi, a chivalrous girl in the rivers and lakes, so that she desperately finds a father for herself. In fact, Ziwei looks weak, but she is indeed a woman with amazing willpower inside, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal. Her kindness has a bottom line, and there is a strong light in her weakness.
It is also very normal human nature for her to use Little Swallow. Because people are self-interested, what seems to be a good friendship is actually a consideration of interests. Ziwei is really a very powerful character, she knows how to maximize her interests in a difficult situation, and she is worthy of being the emperor's daughter.
