"Dream of the Red Chamber", which is intended to "make the boudoir pass on the legend", while paying attention to a group of young daughters who are extremely beautiful, on the other side, with exquisite brushstrokes, a group of housekeepers and mothers-in-law who are "stained with the smell of men" are teased.
If the young daughters were an illusory poetry, they were a real one. In the author's pen, most of the young daughters are worthy of pity and respect, and this group of housekeepers and mothers-in-law cannot make people not hate and despise.
Zhou Rui's family is such a person. Compared with the average housekeeper and mother-in-law, the Zhou Rui family is obviously more decent, because she is the companion of Mrs. Wang. The so-called escort room is the maid who accompanied Lady Wang when she married into Jia Province. The girl is a new daughter-in-law, the life is not familiar, in the period of adapting to the new environment, to a large extent, she needs the help of the room, including taking care of daily affairs, doing a good job in interpersonal relations and so on.
Therefore, it is easiest to gain the trust of the master, and this relationship will continue to be maintained. For example, if Wang Xifeng wants to put the printing money, he only entrusts Wang Er and his daughter-in-law, both of whom have come from the Wang family to marry her. Later, Zhou Rui and his wife, the male was entrusted to manage the land rent, and the female was only responsible for the wives and grandmothers to go out. In this way, in jia fu, the accompanying house is more than the general slave status.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the "second-tier master" of Jia Province</h1>
Mr. Lu Xun said: "Although the status of a pet dog is below the owner, it is always above other ruled." ”
This sentence was applied to Zhou Ruijia's body, which was really tight.
Although she is only a slave, because she is trusted by her master, she is decent everywhere. She served her master in Jia Province, but when she returned home, there was a little girl to serve her. When wandering in Jia Province, not only other slaves, but even the master girls, had to give her some thin noodles.
On the seventh time, she entered Xue Baochao's room, and Baochao, who was drawing a pattern, quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, smiled and called her "Sister Zhou", and gave way;
She sent palace flowers for Aunt Xue, and walked to Tanchun and Yingchun, and the two young ladies were also busy;
Because of the high status and close proximity to the master, it also means that it is close to power, so that the Zhou Rui family is not afraid of things easily.
Her son-in-law, Leng Zixing, was told to go to Yamen to "deport and return to her hometown", and her daughter was so anxious that she rushed to beg her, and after hearing the reason, the Zhou Rui family was very dismissive:
"What's the big deal?"
The tone is so big, the attitude is so horizontal, it really doesn't look like a slave. And this kind of wild talk is only because she has her back to the mountain of Jia Province. It can also be seen from this that in Jia Province, not only the masters, but even these decent slaves are also using the power of the Jia family to do the work of using power for personal gain.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the way "pet dogs" behave</h1>
Being able to stand out among the many dowry slaves and become the "pet dog" that Lady Wang relies on most on trust, the Zhou Rui family has its own set of ways of dealing with the world.
The sixth time, Grandma Liu rushed into the city early in the morning, and the first time she came to Jia Province to fight the autumn wind, the first thing she looked for was Zhou Rui's family. Of course, this is not because of how good the relationship between the Zhou Rui family and the Wang family of Liu's son-in-law and son-in-law was before, but because when the Prince Teng family entered Beijing, there were more Wang Dog'er ancestors to take care of it, and Zhou Rui was even more because he earned a piece of land with people, and Wang Dog'er also contributed to this. Therefore, Grandma Liu is very smart, and it is difficult to see the true Buddha, but it should not be difficult to find a slave who owes him human affection that day.
Later, we knew that the Zhou Rui family heard Grandma Liu's intentions and really took her to see Sister Feng. Grandma Liu also received the mercy of Sister Feng and returned home with twenty-two pieces of silver for a warm winter.
In this matter, we saw an interesting detail, that is, when the Zhou Rui family talked to Liu Grandma about Sister Feng, they revealed their dissatisfaction, "Just one thing, it is inevitable to be strict with the next person." However, when she brought Grandma Liu to Sister Feng, she immediately looked very obedient and respectful. In the process of Feng Jie's conversation with Grandma Liu, she saw the needle and flattered herself. This kind of two-sided and three-bladed skill really did not let Wang Xifeng.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > slave under the evil lord</h1>
Aunt Xue, who had lived in Jia Fu not long ago, wanted to show some meaning to Jia Fu and took out twelve palace flowers in front of Madame Wang. When entrusting the Zhou Rui family to send them to the girls, the order and number of branches were clearly explained:
"The three girls in your family, one pair each, the remaining six branches, send two branches to the forest girl, and the four branches are given to Brother Feng."
In the end, it is a merchant woman, who is more sophisticated than her sister, and Aunt Xue is a guest in Jia Province, of course, the three girls who first consider the Jia family. The second is Lin Daiyu, although she is a guest, but has been regarded as "her own person" by Jia Fu, and in Jia Province, the status of unmarried girls is above that of married women, which is known when Lin Daiyu enters the house on the third time, the girls sit and dine with Jia Mu, and Li Yi Wang Xifeng Wang's wife and so on have to stand aside.
However, Wang Xifeng, who was placed at the end, Aunt Xue did not neglect her, but gave her four sticks, the number of which was above the girls. This arrangement is reasonable.
However, the Zhou Rui family changed the order without authorization, and after everyone had chosen, they slowly sent it to Lin Daiyu. The later plot is all familiar to us, and she was ridiculed by Lin Daiyu.
Many people think that this is Lin Daiyu making a big fuss, and the Zhou Rui family has no malice at all, just a passing path.
However, on closer examination, the Zhou Rui family did not make any sense at all.
First, she went against Aunt Xue's will, which was a violation of Yang Fengyin;
Second, after the Zhou Rui family sent the palace flowers, they had to go to the palace flower to resume life, for example, before this, she sent away Liu Grandma and then went to Lixiangyuan to resume life with Lady Wang, which took over the job of sending palace flowers. Since you still have to return, there is no problem of passing;
Third, after Lin Daiyu expressed her dissatisfaction, the Zhou Rui family listened to a word, at this time, if she had no heart, she could explain a sentence or apologize and admit her mistake, but she did not, which made Lin Daiyu mistakenly think that it was Aunt Xue's meaning, and she recruited black for Aunt Xue. And her attitude is even more not to put Lin Daiyu in her eyes.
Therefore, this is completely a slave's style.
And Lin Daiyu has been favored by Jia Mu since she entered the house, why does the Zhou Rui family dare to neglect her so much? The reason is self-evident, it is nothing more than because Lady Wang does not like Lin Daiyu, and the Zhou Rui family has keenly captured this kind of information and has thrown herself into Lady Wang's favor. After all, Madame Wang is the one whose interests are at stake.
In the eyes of the Zhou Rui family, interests are always in the first place. Don't look at the day she took the initiative to help Liu Grandma meet Wang Xifeng, it was because she wanted to show her face, and the most fundamental reason was that Liu Grandma was a weak person who would not involve her interests. For example, Xiang Ling, after the Zhou Rui family saw her for the first time, they would also sigh at her bumpy life, which was also the same reason.
And once you encounter a scene involving your own interests, no matter what, you only have a dead end. For example, Siqi.
The inspection of the Grand View Garden was a power struggle between the big room and the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, and Lady Xing wanted to use the embroidered spring sac to attack Lady Wang, and if the girls, especially Jia Baoyu, were to be held accountable in the garden. As a result, the power fell into the hands of Jia Amnesty. This is obviously directly related to the interests of the Zhou Rui family, so in this inspection, she is riveted and not allowed to make a mistake.
Next, we can see that when inspecting Yihong courtyard and other places, it was Wang Shanbao's family who was shouting, and when they arrived at the Siqi office in the Yingchun House, as Siqi's grandmother, Wang Shanbao's family symbolically took a look at her box and was about to close it. At this moment, the Zhou Rui family took a shot and pulled out a bunch of men's belongings. That eyesight, that hand speed, said to be a practicing family I believe.
In this storm, Siqi became a victim, on the day of throwing Siqi out, Zhou Rui's family was cold to the point of outrageous, she did not allow Siqi to say goodbye to people, "impatient, just urge, the two had to disperse", when they went out of the garden, they met Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu wanted to intercede for him, but Zhou Rui's family said that they only knew the words of their wives, and they couldn't help but say that they pulled Siqi out.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > villain who conspires against his master to vent his hatred</h1>
Don't look at the Zhou Rui family's deference in front of the master, as long as the master embarrasses her, she still has the ability to secretly make the master look good.
Wang Xifeng's birthday, Zhou Rui's son was drunk and spilled, after the next person came to report, Wang Xifeng, who had always been harsh, ordered him to be beaten, and the Zhou Rui family's kneeling and begging were to no avail, and finally Lai Mamma interceded from it, only to hit a few boards.
Wang Xifeng probably forgot about this matter, but in the Zhou Rui family, this vendetta was still remembered.
On Jia Mu's birthday, You Shi was offended by the two mother-in-laws, and after the Zhou Rui family first knew about it, they ran to report to Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng listened to it and commanded:
"Even so, write down the names of the two people, and after a few days, bundle them up and send them to the mansion to be developed by the eldest sister-in-law, or beat them a few times, or spare them, and let him go, whatever a big deal."
However, after she went out with a full mouth, the first thing was to instruct the little girl to call Lin Zhixiao's family, and the second thing was to tie up the two mother-in-laws and hand them over to the horse pen.
This can give Wang Xifeng a honeycomb, the two mothers-in-law happen to be close to Lady Xing's side of the room, and finally asked Lady Xing, Lady Xing has always been unaccustomed to this daughter-in-law, is holding her breath and waiting for her ugliness, this is coming.
In this way, in front of everyone, Lady Xing's yin and yang called Wang Xifeng "grandmother", begged her to release the two slaves, and took out the Jia family's family gifts and Jia Mu's birthday to press, Wang Xifeng was full of grievances, but only swallowed the tears into her stomach. After this incident, Wang Xifeng fell ill and the blood landslide recurred again.
Therefore, the Zhou Rui family quietly let Sister Feng carry a black pot.
Throughout the text, among the many dowry slaves, Zhou Ruijia is the one who appears the most, and in the author's pen, she perfectly possesses bad qualities such as vanity, viciousness, obedience, and sleekness, even if there is an occasional "sadness and compassion", it is just a condescending posture. As the author said, this is a villain with a "smooth heart and a special care for everywhere", and in Jia Baoyu's eyes, she is a dead fish eyeball that is "more killable than a man".
