In the long history of mankind, rumors and truths have always been like each other, sometimes intertwined and sometimes collided.
Rumors, often stemming from people's curiosity, fear or expectation of certain events, spread rapidly with the color of exaggeration, causing widespread public concern;
The truth is often hidden and requires people to be patient and excavate, distinguish with reason, and verify with facts, on the contrary, there is no rumor that spreads rapidly, let alone arouses public attention.
And in a group, rumors can arouse the emotions of the masses more than the truth.
That's because: the superposition of the masses is only the superposition of stupidity, and the true wisdom is annihilated by the torrent of stupidity.
As the concubine of the Sheng family, Minglan married the Hou Mansion as a high marriage, which caused many people to feel uncomfortable.
At the wedding banquet of Hefu, Mrs. Qin and Aunt Kang started to spread rumors about Minglan .
On that festive day, it was supposed to be a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, but the malice of Mrs. Qin and Aunt Kang was incompatible with it.
The two team up to spread rumors about Minglan in an attempt to ruin her reputation in order to achieve their own goals. These rumors are like a sharp sword, making Minglan lose her image in front of everyone.
Why would the onlookers believe it?
Because as soon as people enter the group, their IQ is seriously reduced, and in order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong, and exchange IQ for a sense of belonging that makes people feel safe.
Today, allow me to lead you to examine the weaving and spread of rumors, and explore the reasons behind them.
First, dialogue analysis
After the death of Gu Tingyu, the eldest brother of the Gu family, Gu Tingye inherited the title, so Chengyuan and the Gu family's old mansion needed to be Hefu, and at the Hefu wedding banquet, the famous nobles in Bianjing City basically came to celebrate.
Gu Tingye's stepmother, Mrs. Qin, also gathered around a group of noble ladies, chatting and talking, so lively.
A noblewoman: Why does your cherry fry taste different?
Before, the stone fried the cherries that Xiao Tao brought outside, Minglan and Dantang tasted it, and thought it was delicious, and Minglan asked the candied fruit bureau to serve this at the wedding banquet.
The taste is estimated to be different from the old traditional method, and the elderly do not necessarily like to eat it, and this lady just said that the taste is different after tasting it.
It means that the fried cherries you usually eat have a different taste.
Most of us will understand it in this way, and the answer will be explained from this perspective.
Let's take a look at how Mrs. Qin answered?
Mrs. Qin: Old sister, don't talk about that, put it down, don't eat it.
Mrs. Qin's answer was surprising, she did not directly explain the reason why the cherry fried taste was different, but asked the lady to put it down and not eat it.
It's a bit evasive, confusing, and leaves a cliffhanger that makes one want to know more about her inner thoughts and motivations.
Lady: What's wrong?
Mrs. Qin: Our daughter-in-law said that I was old and was afraid that I would be tired, so she took over the management of this banquet. I don't know which shop she has on the street that made this cherry fried. After all, it's not our preserves after all. Now in this house, up and down, it's not me who decides. If there is anything wrong with this table, old sisters, for my sake, take care of it.
The noblewoman's doubts are normal, but Mrs. Qin's answer is even more normal, she creates suspense just to change the topic and start complaining about Minglan hegemony at home, how pitiful she lives.
However, we have to admire Mrs. Qin's words are very artistic.
From Mrs. Qin's answer, the noble lady may interpret several layers of meaning. First, Mrs. Qin mentioned that her daughter-in-law Minglan took over the affairs of the family, which hinted at the transfer of power in the family.
The noble lady may realize that the status of the eldest lady of Qin in the family has changed, and she may no longer be the dominant person in the family.
This shift in power means that Mrs. Qin's influence is weakened, and her voice in family decision-making is also limited.
Therefore, it has nothing to do with the problem with the taste of cherry frying. Second, Mrs. Qin mentioned that the cherry frying did not come from the preserves that their family was familiar with, but the daughter-in-law chose according to her own preferences.
This further emphasizes the daughter-in-law's decision-making power in family matters.
The noble lady may think that the lady of Qin has lost control of the details and hospitality of the family, which will make her feel helpless and lost. Thirdly, the lady of Qin begged the nobleladies to be more bearish for her sake, which showed her concern about the mistakes or dissatisfaction that existed.
The noble lady may understand that although the eldest lady of Qin is no longer the dominant person in the family, she still cares about the reputation and image of the family, and does not want to affect the relationship with the noble ladies because of some details.
Just listening to these words, the nobles will sympathize with and understand Mrs. Qin, and feel sorry for the predicament and challenges she faces.
At the same time, the ladies will also have a new understanding of Minglan in the family, which will affect their interactions and attitudes with the Qin lady and Minglan .
Lady: She is a concubine, and it is already a blessing to be able to marry into your Hou Mansion, why is she still so ignorant of the rules and making a fuss.
Another noblewoman: I said you, that is, your heart is too good, your personality is too good, and they are lawless even if you indulge them.
Sure enough, the ladies sympathized with the plight of Mrs. Qin.
thinks that she, as a former head of the family, has now lost her power and let her daughter-in-law Minglan be in charge of the house, which in itself is worthy of pity.
At the same time, they also expressed dissatisfaction with Minglan 's behavior, thinking that she, as a concubine, married into the Hou Mansion as a high marriage, and should be more disciplined, rather than "fooling around".
The words of another noble lady further reflected her understanding and support for the eldest lady of Qin.
She thinks that the reason why Mrs. Qin indulges Minglan is because she is kind-hearted and too good.
However, this connivance led to Minglan lawlessness, which made the noblewomen more dissatisfied with Minglan behavior.
The performance of the two noble ladies is a true reproduction of this passage in "The Rabble":
Individuals in the group will feel a strong force of "justice", for whom the group is justice, and the number is the truth; Even if they are not, the people in the group will have the idea that "the law does not hold the people accountable" and thus behave justifiably in their actions.
Mrs. Qin: I'm old, and I've lost my support, and now I'm in charge of my daughter-in-law's house.
reaped the desired effect, Mrs. Qin did not show half of her joy, but continued to shape her helplessness and last resort.
Her answer not only shows her acceptance of the status quo, but also hints at her dissatisfaction and helplessness with Minglan Zhang's family.
Lady: Your second husband, now he loves his daughter-in-law, and he is the minister of the official family, my sister-in-law, she regrets it like something, I knew it, his prodigal son turned back so neatly, he should have allowed my niece to come over, and now that the province is now, go home twice in three days to make trouble. Say uncle, bastard.
From the way this lady speaks, it is not difficult to see that she is a frank character, and when she expresses her thoughts and appreciation for Erlang, she does not beat around the bush at all, and she also directly says the privacy of her sister-in-law and niece.
People say that family ugliness should not be publicized, especially in the circle of noblewomen in Bianjing City, many people will even deliberately cover up the ugly things in their families, exaggerate or promote the peaceful atmosphere of their own family.
But this noble lady said it bluntly without ambiguity, and she was hearty. One of the biggest characteristics of this kind of person is that they have no brains, and they are easy to be used as pawns and targets.
I'm in ("Do You Know" The fourth aunt tells us what kind of people will be used as pawns?) There has been an analysis.
Aunt Kang: It's not for me to say it, if your niece marries, she may not be able to have such a good life as his family.
Lady: What do you say?
Aunt Kang and Mrs. Qin have a common characteristic, that is, they can create suspense from other people's words at any time, arouse the interest of others to explore, and then change the topic in a timely manner.
(Attention, I'm summarizing the characteristics of the-stirring stick.) ）
The sentence "If your niece marries, she may not be able to live such a good life as his family", successfully aroused the interest of the noblewoman, and then what she had to say was the point.
Aunt Kang: My girl, I didn't have a mother when I was a child, my sister who was a mother-in-law, I wanted to take her into the room to raise, but I didn't think about it, people didn't look down on her, turned around, and ran to the old lady's room to live. That's so sharp, the Khitan cavalry can't catch up.
When Aunt Kang responded to the noblewoman, the screen was full of sarcasm. She mentioned that Minglan went to live in the old lady's room, and used exaggerated rhetoric such as "It's so sharp, the Khitan cavalry can't catch up", in addition to sarcasm, there is also her dissatisfaction.
When I say this, I can think of the darkness in Aunt Kang's heart. Language is a tool of thought, and speech can only be harsh if the thought is evil.
Lady: It's really against her.
Aunt Kang mentioned that her own sister (the eldest lady of the Sheng family) wanted to adopt Minglan , but her niece did not choose her, but chose her grandmother snobbishly, and successfully created a snobbish image who does not know what to do and what is good and does not know the hearts of good people.
You say that a person who has a straight intestine and has no ability to think, what will be the response to hearing such a person?
That's going to be a bad deal. Therefore, the lady's response could not be more normal.
Aunt Kang: Every time I go to the Sheng family, this girl, I bring out the style of a girl, and several sisters don't dare to mess with her, I am also too talkative, I said two words to her, but I didn't think about it, she turned her face with me. I think someone in this house should be reprimanded! People flattered the old lady and took the right card key to manage the house, and even my own sister, the eldest lady in the main house, was compared.
In this passage, Aunt Kang successfully portrayed Minglan (Miss Shu) as an arrogant, domineering, scheming and ambitious person.
Aunt Kang mentioned that Minglan put on a girl's posture every time, which implied that Minglan was too arrogant in her behavior, did not respect her status, and tried to go beyond her due boundaries.
This description makes Minglan seem not humble enough, and even a little arrogant.
Secondly, Aunt Kang mentioned that even a few sisters didn't dare to mess with Minglan , which further strengthened Minglan 's domineering image. Not only is she overbearing in her behavior, but she also seems to have a certain deterrent power in the family, which makes everyone else jealous of her.
Aunt Kang said that she had persuaded Minglan, but Minglan turned her face with her. This shows that Minglan not only does not accept criticism from others, but also reacts violently, with a provocative and hostile attitude. This description makes Minglan seem irrational and even a little arrogant.
In the end, Aunt Kang mentioned that Minglan obtained the key to the right card by currying favor with the old lady and managed the house, even surpassing the eldest lady in the main house.
This hints at Minglan having strong ambition and scheming, and she has gained an important position in the family through clever means, even threatening the status of the eldest lady of the main house. This description makes Minglan appear scheming and good at taking advantage of others.
Everyone looks at Minglan from God's point of view, is this kind of person?
Mrs. Qin: I'm old, I can't hold it up, and I'm left idle.
Mrs. Qin showed her concession and helplessness again in a timely manner, which aggravated Minglan's arrogant, domineering, scheming and ambitious image.
"The Rabble" says: If you master the art of influencing the imagination of the masses, you will also master the art of ruling them. Mrs. Qin is the one who has mastered the art of influencing the imagination of the masses.
Mrs. Zhang: But now the picture is idle, step by step, the days to come, only more sad.
Someone came out again to hold the grievances.
"The Rabble" says that once an individual becomes a member of the group, he will no longer be responsible for what he does, and then everyone will expose his unrestrained side. What the group pursues and believes is never truth and reason, but blind obedience, cruelty, bigotry and fanaticism, and only knows simple and extreme feelings.
Mrs. Qin: The eldest niece, you are the only daughter of the British family, how can you understand the difficulties of being a stepmother in me, now that the old marquis is gone, Da Lang is gone, Erlang is the lord, and I am not his biological mother, I am wrong to say anything, and everything is in the way. Forget it, forget it!
Mrs. Qin first emphasized the origin and identity of her eldest niece, suggesting that there are differences in identity and experience between the two, so it is difficult to resonate.
Then, Mrs. Qin mentioned that the old marquis and Da Lang had both died, and Erlang had taken the title. The change in this family means greater challenges and uncertainties for her.
Because she is not Jiro's biological mother, when she gets along with Jiro, she feels that no matter what she says or does, she is prone to mistakes or offend. This sense of helplessness and powerlessness made her feel pressured.
Forget it, forget it, this closing sentence is vague and ambiguous, but it is the most powerful.
Because: sometimes, the most ambiguous words have the most repercussions.
Lady: Da Lang's daughter-in-law, the eldest lady of the Shao family, why didn't you come out?
Mrs. Qin: Erlang's daughter-in-law's temper is used to being the master again, which scares Dalang's daughter-in-law. Qi deficiency, palpitations. I told her to lie down in the backyard so that she wouldn't be scared again.
This sentence is very subtle and suggestive.
Mrs. Qin hinted that Minglan was both stubborn and accustomed to making her own decisions. This personality appears strong in the family and is prone to pressure on others.
It is implied that Minglan frightened Da Lang's daughter-in-law, causing Da Lang's daughter-in-law to have symptoms of qi deficiency and heart palpitations.
The Rabble says: The crowd only accepts the influence of suggestive forces. Let's take a look at how groups are influenced by suggestion.
Mrs. Zhang: The weaker you are, the more domineering she will be. Could it be that my dynasty will be without the king's law?
Mrs. Zhang: If she dares to provoke me, she will definitely slap her in the face.
A person who is contagious by the mood of the crowd will feel that he is stronger than ever, and that his actions are completely dictated by another unfamiliar force.
People in the group do things with a clear purpose, but they don't know what they're doing.
The people in the masses are willingly moved by all sorts of fiery rhetoric and false images, and they believe in everything that they would never have believed while they were still sane.
Mrs. Zhang's performance is extremely in line with the description of the group in "The Rabble".
Second, the interpretation of the characters' personalities.
Kang Mother :
1. Vitriol: It can be seen from her comments on Minglan that she is sharp-tongued, ruthless, and good at stabbing people with mean words.
2. Sow discord: She is very good at creating discord in the crowd, and when she sees a little discord with Mars, she will add fuel and vinegar to make Mars a prairie fire.
3. She thinks too highly of herself: She has an overestimate of her own identity and status, believing that her words and opinions are correct and her views of others are biased.
Qin Dazi:
1. Gentle forbearance: In the face of disputes and dissatisfaction in the family, Mrs. Qin said many times "forget it, forget it", showing her character characteristics of not wanting to argue too much and being willing to back down.
2. Worried: She seems to have deep concerns about power struggles and relationships in her family, fearing that her words and actions will lead to more strife, so she chooses to remain silent and compromise.
3. Traditional conservatism: Mrs. Qin seems to attach great importance to the traditional rules and the distinction between concubines and concubines in the family, which also reflects her traditional conservative thinking.
But this is all an illusion, and it is a character deliberately created by Mrs. Qin.
When a person has the ability to see through this illusion, it means that he has matured, and of course, it also means that he has experienced the deception of such a person, for example: Dalang Gu Tingyu, for example, me.
Mrs. Zhang:
1. Straightforward and strong: She expressed dissatisfaction with the weakness of the eldest lady of Qin, and believed that she should stand up to uphold the rules and dignity of the family, showing her straightforward and outspoken character.
2. Strong sense of justice: She expresses strong dissatisfaction with the injustice and injustice in the family and believes that it should be stopped, which reflects her strong sense of justice.
3. Not afraid of power: It can be seen from her words that she is not afraid of the power in the family, and dares to challenge and resist unreasonable things.
Language can show a person's personality traits, but it is only limited to people with straightforward personalities, and for those old foxes who are good at disguise, there are still great limitations.
