On the second day of the inspection of the Grand View Garden, "everything was as usual" in Jia's mother's room, as if she didn't know any news.
But behind the calm is an undercurrent.
Jia's mother borrowed the arrangement at the dinner table to express her disappointment and anger at the inspection of the Grand View Garden.
For Mrs. Jia Xing, she was completely disappointed.
For Mrs. Jia Zhengwang in the second room, it is anger.
Copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, it seems that Mrs. Wang was forced by Mrs. Xing to "force the palace", but in fact, she caused trouble to the east and took advantage of Mrs. Xing's stupidity to achieve her ulterior purpose.
Mother Jia was clear about Mrs. Wang's dark thoughts, so she took advantage of the distribution at the dinner table to clearly express her attitude.
I am Jun Jian Yakan Red Mansion, and I will tell you about those things in "Dream of Red Mansions".
(Chapter 75) Jia Muyin asked, "Just have some porridge to eat." "You Shi had already held a bowl and said that it was red rice porridge. Mother Jia took it and ate half a bowl, and then ordered: "Give this porridge to Brother Feng to eat." He pointed again, "This bowl of bamboo shoots and this plate of wind-pickled civet cats are for Feng'er and Baoyu to eat, and the bowl of meat is for Lan Xiaozi to eat." Then he said to You: "I have eaten, you can come and eat." ”
It is not common for Jia's mother to "divide the dishes". Each room has a case, and the old lady doesn't have to worry about it on weekdays.
On the same day, she was unusual, not only did she eat the dishes sent by Mrs. Jia Xing, but also told her not to send them again. He also sent the leftover porridge to Wang Xifeng, the chicken pith bamboo shoots sent in by Jia Zheng to Daiyu, and gave Jia Lan, who did not often communicate, a bowl of meat, and even named the "wind-pickled civet" to Jia Baoyu.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", there are most foreshadowing and metaphors.
Many dishes not only reflect the culture and taste of the aristocratic and wealthy families, but also have deep meanings and metaphorical effects.
For example, Wang Xifeng's favorite "pheasant", and the fried quail sent to Mrs. Xing, alluded to him.
For example, the four families of Lu Xueguang (yǎn) share the meat of deer (禄). The crab feast on the crabs of the Xue family, the duck head eaten by Shi Xiangyun and so on.
The wind-pickled civet cats that Jia's mother sent to Jia Baoyu today should be combined with the meat she gave to Jia Lan and Wang Xifeng's porridge.
Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan are the sons and grandsons of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are the sons and daughters-in-law of Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing.
The second room eats meat, and the long room eats porridge, which is about the inheritance of the third generation of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Yu only attacked the knight, not the knight's property.
Jia Zheng inherited the title and became the head of the Rongguo Mansion.
The hereditary inheritance of the Duke of Rongguo is divided into two parts: the title and the estate, the property is meat, and the title is porridge.
As the eldest son, Jia Yu should be like his father Jia Daishan, and fully inherit the hereditary inheritance of Rongguo Gong.
Jia pardoned the word Enhou, indicating that he lost the right to inherit due to mistakes, and it was the emperor's grace and pardon that he inherited the title, so he lost his title.
Jia Zheng's character was saved in Zhou, and Jia Zheng obtained the right to inherit the title because of Jia Yu's mistake, just like King Wu of Zhou inherited King Wen of Zhou with his second son, which is reasonable and legal.
But is it really "legal"? Whether there is a matter of sibling rivalry for power, judging from the clues 80 times ago, there is no doubt.
Since the second room went from having nothing to getting the most benefits, the long room was a little dissatisfied, why couldn't he bear it?
This is the reason why Jia's mother gave meat to Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan in front of Mrs. Wang.
Behind the "meat" is the accusation and questioning of Mrs. Wang's "discontentment", ignorance of the general situation.
As the hostess of the house, she blatantly copied her own house, perversely, what kind of system!
Jia Mu's accusation is naturally very heavy, and this kind of "wealthy language" is not afraid that Mrs. Wang will not understand.
As for the dish of "wind-pickled civets", it is not the same as the meat given to Jia Lan.
"Meat" is very general and only represents meat, which can be any meat.
This is also the current situation of Jia Lan, he has no choice. He eats what the elders give.
After Jia Zhu's death, Jia Lan lost the inheritance order of the hereditary title of the Duke of Rongguo.
The hereditary lineage of the fourth generation of Rong Guogong must be inherited by the fourth generation.
The title is Jia Lian, and the title is Jia Zhu first, then Jia Baoyu, and then Jia Huan.
Even if Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan are dead, it will not be the turn of Jia Lan of the fifth generation, and they will have to be selected in the fourth generation, such as Jia Lian or Jia Cong, who are reassigned to the long house.
On the other hand, the "wind-pickled civet" was clearly given to Jia Baoyu by Jia's mother, which is justified in the name of "designation".
It shows that Jia Baoyu inherited the hereditary property of the fourth generation of Rongguo Gong and became the fourth generation of the heir of Rongguo Mansion, designated by the elders, inherited in order, and justifiably named. Does the side also imply Jia Zheng's "unjustification"?
As for why Jia's mother gave it "wind-pickled civets" instead of other chickens, ducks and fish?
After all, after experiencing the "SARS" in 2003, people still talk about "civet cats" and change color.
The dish of "wind-pickled civets" must have been deliberately set up by Cao Xueqin, specially designed for Jia Baoyu's mother to give meat to Jia Baoyu.
First of all, the hunting of civet cats has a long history, and the Tang and Song dynasties have been the mountain delicacies on the table of the ancients.
Li Dou of the Qing Dynasty recorded in the "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record, Xincheng Beilu": The second point No. 2 five bowls and ten pieces: crucian carp tongue Hui bear paw...... Pear slices with steamed civets.
Yang Enshou, who was also in the Qing Dynasty, also recorded in "Tanyuan Diary Tongzhi Yichou La New Moon Day": Eating civets at noon. The raccoon eats the fruit and is fat, and the recipe says that its pith is apple-scent, but it is not completely so.
Jia's mother's food standard is naturally the best in Jiafu.
In the words of the Liu family in the small kitchen, the big kitchen has a water card, which records all the vegetables in the world and changes them for the old lady to eat.
But for the day's home-cooked meal, this wind-pickled civet is sure to be the best game of the meat.
It is said that the author writes "meat", not necessarily wind-pickled civets. It is also possible to replace it with "venison", and it is better to describe "Lu" and wealth. But venison has been used in Lu Xueguang before, and this time it will not be used again.
Civets, as game, are more rare than venison. It indicates that Jia Baoyu is the heir to Jiafu's greatest benefits in the future.
Civet cats are also known as civet cats, civet cats with jade faces, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the civet cats in the south of the Yangtze River were designated as tributes, tribute to the imperial court, "History of the Ming Dynasty" has recorded that "at the beginning of Renzong, Guangluqing Jingquan played, the year example sent the official to Nanjing to pick jade civet." ”
"Wind pickled civet" represents the upper tribute, and also refers to the hereditary property of the Duke of Rongguo. Mother Jia clearly gave Jia Baoyu to eat, and hinted to Mrs. Wang:
The wealth that your son is about to get does not belong to your second room, but is the blessing of your elders. It's not the inheritance you get.
Now the "loser" who is not grateful and conscientious and is still stirring up the wind and rain is completely undesirable, so he can do it himself!
To sum up, copy and inspect the Grand View Garden, don't look at Jia Mu didn't say anything, in fact, everything was clear. The old lady is the most sober and understandable, and Mrs. Wang is far behind.
