As the big girl in Jia Baoyu's room, the status of the attacker in the maid is still relatively high, and Jia Baoyu is a distressed master, and the life of the attacker in the Jia family is quite passable.
What's more, she has a close relationship with Jia Baoyu, she is recognized as Jia Baoyu's aunt-to-be in Jiafu, and she is valued by Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, so when her mother was seriously ill, Wang Xifeng asked her to dress up and return to her parents' house to visit the patient.
But we all know after reading the Dream of Red Mansions that the mother of the attacker was already seriously ill and dying, although she was sold into Jiafu since she was a child, but in the end, it was her mother, and the attacker's mood should be very sad, why do you have to dress up with heavy makeup, is it to let the mother's family know that she is doing well, or other reasons?
1. Noble concubines and concubines?
The attacker's surname was Hua, and her brother Hua Zifang came to Jiafu to find the attacker to tell her that her mother was seriously ill, and begged Jiafu to let his sister go back to visit the patient, Mrs. Wang agreed after hearing this, and asked Wang Xifeng to deal with the matter.
The mother's serious illness is called the daughter's home visit, which is the most normal thing, and it is reasonable for Mrs. Wang to let her go back, but it was the feudal era, and the attacker was a maid who signed a death contract, and it stands to reason that she can only serve the people of Jiafu for the rest of her life, even if Mrs. Wang does not agree, the attacker will not dare to say anything.
And this kind of trivial matter, Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng to take care of it herself, and asked her to think about what it means, because the attacker is Baoyu's "person in the house", so naturally it is different from the treatment of other maids, let's see how Wang Xifeng, a "human spirit", deals with it.
After Wang Xifeng knew about this, she immediately guessed Mrs. Wang's intentions, and she immediately instructed Zhou Rui's family to find another daughter-in-law who would go out with her, and also bring two girls to follow and serve the attackers.
Seeing that this posture is no longer the pomp of an ordinary maid going home to visit, the important thing is that Wang Xifeng also instructed the attacker to wear and take it well, and when the attacker finishes cleaning up and going back to her parents' house, he will come to her to show her, and she must be satisfied before going home.
Wang Xifeng saw that her burden was held by the girl and her mother-in-law, and she wore a lot of gold and silver beads on her head, which was quite extravagant, and she was wearing a colorful embroidered cotton skirt and gown, which was given to her by Mrs. Wang.
Wang Xifeng was quite satisfied with the attacker's dress, but this was not enough, she gave her her big woolen coat, gave her a pomp, and changed her baggage, which can be said to have packaged the attacker inside and out, for fear of losing the face of Jiafu.
Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng to think about it, and Wang Xifeng handled it very well, not only the outfit of going out, but also all aspects she thought of, and also told the attacker that if her mother was not good, she would live at home, and she would find someone else to send the covering.
There are some problems here, can it be that when people go back to their own homes, can they still have no covers, of course there are, but they can't be used, and Wang Xifeng also said later: "Don't make other people's covers and comb hair."
It is clear that the attacker is now a person from Jiafu, and it is Jiafu generosity to let her go home to visit the patient, but the attacker has followed Baoyu, and her identity is not what it used to be, she is no longer the daughter of the Hua family, but the person in the house of the second master of Jiafu Bao, and she has to follow the rules of Jiafu inside and out.
What is the condition of the attacker's mother, of course, she won't live for a few days, otherwise how could Hua Zifang come to ask for grace, she must want to attack the person to go back to see her mother for the last time, this is a situation that everyone knows by default.
The attacker was also clear in her heart, but she still chose to dress herself up according to Wang Xifeng's instructions when her mother was seriously ill, and went home to visit the patient in a beautiful manner, wasn't she worried about her mother's condition, shouldn't she run back to visit as soon as possible?
To analyze whether the behavior of attacking people is reasonable, we have to start with her identity to see what is different about her as a maid, what can be done according to the rules, and why Mrs. Wang let Wang Xifeng think about it.
Second, the identity of the attacker
The name of the attacker was given by Baoyu, the original name was Hua Pearl, she was Jia Baoyu's eldest girl, and she could rank second in the second volume of the twelve hairpins in Jinling, the author still attached great importance to this role, and her evaluation was not low, saying that she was pure-hearted and a little stupid.
The reason for the word "idiot" is that she is very loyal to her master, and she used to serve with Jia's mother, because of her good temperament, she was assigned by Jia's mother to serve Jia Baoyu, and she was the chief maid.
Unlike many "family children" in Jiafu, the raider was the daughter of an ordinary people's family, but the Hua family was in distress and couldn't afford to support the raider, so they sold her to Jiafu as a maid, which was also the fate of many girls at that time.
The attack is also lucky, the few masters she has followed have not been too harsh on her, Jiafu is a high-ranking noble, even the maid's food and clothing are not bad, not to mention that after following Jia Baoyu, her life is also good.
It is precisely because of this that the attacker does not have much affection for the original family, just a blood bond, on the contrary, most of the things in her life are given by Jiafu, so her heart has always been in Jiafu, and she thinks that her roots are also in Jiafu.
Unlike many people who just serve their masters carefully, attacking people is really thinking about their masters, once they serve someone, they only think about who they are in their hearts, so many of her words and deeds are not blindly pleasing Jia Baoyu, but always persuading him to study more, which is also the reason why Mrs. Wang likes to attack people.
Although Jia Baoyu doesn't like to listen to her, she also knows that she doesn't care about her because she is worried about herself, on the contrary, she doesn't have a master's frame at all, and she relies on attacking people and often protects her.
Jia Baoyu likes the softness of attacking people, and pulls her to secretly test Yunyu together, and the attacker knows that Jia's mother sent her to Baoyu with the intention of giving her to Baoyu, so he agreed.
Although there is no obvious certification of Baoyu and the attack, everyone in Jiafu knows about it, and the attacker is also liked by Mrs. Wang because of her conscientious style, so she is also the default Baoyu's future aunt, but because Baoyu is still young and some other reasons, she has always been nameless.
Because the attacker said to Mrs. Wang that she would discipline Baoyu well, she was favored by Mrs. Wang, so she gave her the treatment of her aunt, just waiting for the house to be accepted in the future, and from Mrs. Wang's point of view, it is also reasonable, the attacker is liked by Baoyu, and she is good for Baoyu with a pure temperament and conscience, and she is not flattering and routinely persuades Baoyu, and the important thing is that she is also loyal to Mrs. Wang.
Whether it is Jia Baoyu himself or his mother, Mrs. Wang, they are very fond of attacking people, so her status is very different from that of other maids, and she naturally can't be sloppy in going home to visit relatives, not for the sake of attacking people but for the sake of Jiafu's face.
3. Helpless scenery or to show off?
After the attacker became Jia Baoyu's housekeeper, he served him more wholeheartedly, and even a little master was his own meaning, even if the Hua family came to redeem her and give her freedom, she was unwilling, and even refused.
From the perspective of attacking people, she has lived a hard life since she was a child, her father and mother sold her to Jiafu when she had no money at home, and the masters who followed her were all sensible, never scolded and harsh, it can be said that most of the good things in the life of the attacker are given by Jiafu, not to mention the little things about food and clothing.
Therefore, the raiders had a strong sense of dependence on Jiafu, and even took care of Jiafu as their own home.
When her brother Hua Zifang told her that her mother was seriously ill, she was also very worried, after all, she was related by blood, but she also understood and was willing to do what Wang Xifeng ordered about the scenery.
From the bottom of her heart, she already regarded Jiafu as her foundation, and she couldn't even react that there was anything wrong or unreasonable like this, she was a person from Jiafu, and she should think about Jiafu first, this was what she thought.
According to Wang Xifeng's arrangement, the raider took a few maids and coachmen back to her parents' house in a beautiful manner, here she not only went home to visit her mother as a flower raider, but also represented the identity of Aunt Jiafu.
So from the opposite point of view, does the attacker have the right to choose, can she go back to her parents' house to visit her parents without packing up after hearing the news that her mother is seriously ill?
In fact, it can't, if the attacker can decide his behavior casually, then Mrs. Wang will not hand over this matter to Wang Xifeng, if the attacker goes back to her parents' house alone regardless of Jiafu's face, then will Mrs. Wang still trust and like the attacker.
The reason why she is liked by people is that she is not only very polite, but also gentle but not weak, delicate but not charming, if she acts recklessly regardless of Jiafu's face, she will be brought back by Wang Xifeng to "repackage" before she is halfway through, after all, Wang Xifeng will not even let the flower family's bedding be used.
Raiders dressed up and returned to Hua's house with pomp, in fact, she was also happy in her heart, she was sold when she was a child, and now she comes back from the scenery to give herself a long face, and she can also let her mother know that she is doing well, and the family does not have to worry about it.
But in the final analysis, there is no choice in this matter, even what clothes to wear and what baggage to bring have been checked by Wang Xifeng, where does she have the right to make decisions for herself.
As for the people of the Hua family, what will they think when they see such a high-profile visit to her parents' house, some people may think that she is not filial and shameless, and she doesn't care about her own mother at all, and she shows off herself with heavy makeup, but more people will feel that the attacker has a different identity now, and there is the support of Jiafu behind her, which is not what it used to be.
As far as our current vision is concerned, it is very unreasonable to go home to visit the sick and worry about what scenery to wear, but it was the sadness of that era, the feudal era, and it was not only the system that framed people, but also the deep-rooted concepts.
The maid who signed the death contract, although she is a prospective aunt who has not crossed the Ming Road, can she have any resistance in the face of the strict and heavy rules of Jiafu.
Fourth, summary
Behind the attack on the face of a large family like Jiafu when his mother was seriously ill was hidden behind the face problems of a large family like Jiafu, so the scenery was like a noble concubine and a provincial relative, and there was no sadness at all.
One is because the attacker and his family don't see each other at all, and he hasn't had much affection since he was a child, and he doesn't have the right to choose what he dresses to go home.
For many masters of Jiafu, it is not important to make people feel that she is not filial piety, the important thing is to let people know that the Jia family has returned, even if it is just a maid, it is enough to have face.
Although the role of raiding people is not a very important role in the Dream of Red Mansions, the character image is also three-dimensional enough, just through the description of her going home to visit the sick, the author writes about the cumbersome rules of the bureaucratic family in the past, and in front of the scenery and face, human feelings and common sense are no longer considered.
