When I was a child watching "Dream of the Red Chamber", the most hated person was Grandma Liu.
In the Grand View Garden, each of them is a popular figure of Zhong Lingyuxiu, talking about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and Bao Daichao's love is even more yearning.
And Grandma Liu, like a grain of mouse in the jade plate delicacies, is disgusting.
She looked pitch black, her face was abominable, and she exuded an out-of-place earthy smell.
She was humble and flattering, and even when she saw the servants of the Rongguo Mansion, she respectfully called out "Taiye".
She spoke vulgarly, and her mouth was a vulgar saying such as "Old Liu Lao Liu, the amount of food is as large as a cow, eating an old sow does not look up" and so on.
In short, Grandma Liu is like a poor and sour relative around us, looking honest, in fact, it is a stomach calculation, seizing the opportunity to suck your blood and gnaw your bones.
However, after growing up, after experiencing the beatings of society, and watching "Dream of the Red Chamber", Grandma Liu became my favorite character.
Especially after revisiting the 87 version of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" TV series, under the interpretation of teacher Sha Yuhua, the image of Grandma Liu became lively and cute.
In the play, her skin is black, her teeth are yellow, and her appearance is thin, but every smile is a play.
On the one hand, she can interpret the generosity of Liu Grandma, on the other hand, she can also interpret the wisdom of Liu Grandma, and this weight-lifting performance is a brilliant chapter in the 87 version of the Dream of the Red Chamber.
In the past few decades, Zhao Lirong, Gui Yalei, Ye Linlang and other old drama bones have played Liu Grandma, but only Sha Yuhua's version of Liu Grandma is the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now the old man is 91 years old, but his body is still tough, and she said that it is the glory of her life to play Grandma Liu.
Through her performance, we can also deeply appreciate the simple wisdom of Liu Grandma's life. There were a group of social elites gathered in the whole Grand View Garden, and only Grandma Liu truly represented us ordinary people.
In the novel, Liu Grandma's family only has two acres of thin land, widowed for many years, and it is difficult to go to the home of her daughter and son-in-law, but her life is still poor.
Ordinary people face this dilemma, either self-pity, or self-abandonment, only Liu Grandma used the wisdom of an old woman in the countryside to reverse the predicament, interpreting the sentence "Everything is insightful and learned, and human feelings are articles."
In the novel, Grandma Liu entered the RongGuo Mansion three times, and each time showed a textbook-level operation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >1, One into Rongguo Mansion: Playing the Autumn Wind</h1>
The first time Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion was to fight the autumn wind, and in the vernacular, it was the relatives' family begging.
As ordinary people, they will encounter such difficulties on the road of life, and many people can't pull down their faces to ask for people.
In the novel, Liu Grandma's son-in-law Wang Dog'er will only sigh and sigh, and will not bow down to ask for relatives, only Liu Grandma calmly said: "The plot is in people, and the success is in heaven." We have found it, and looking at the blessings of the bodhisattvas, there are some opportunities that are unknown."
Then she used three moves to successfully obtain 20 taels of silver and a hanging money from Wang Xifeng.
The first trick is to bring children.
Grandma Liu is the Rongguo Mansion with her grandson Ban'er, on the one hand, there is a companion by her side to ease her tension, on the other hand, Ban'er is still a good prop for her to fight the autumn wind.
In the play, the companion is greedy for the fruit of Wang Xifeng's family, Liu Grandma on the surface beat the board, in fact, she borrowed the child's gluttony to convey the family's plight, Wang Xifeng saw the board gluttony and immediately entertained the two.
The second trick is to please the servant.
After Grandma Liu came to the Rongguo Mansion, she faced the servants guarding the door and said, "The grand masters are blessed." Smoothly detected the unreality in the Rong Guo Mansion from among the servants.
Later, she saw Zhou Rui's family, and also praised what kind of master has what kind of slave.
Then when she saw Ping'er, she directly regarded Ping'er as Wang Xifeng, and she was also trembling and respectful.
The subordinates around Wang Xifeng were comfortable, and Grandma Liu had a good public opinion environment in the face of Wang Xifeng.
The third trick - straight to the point.
Wang Xifeng is the most exquisite character in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and you can't eat good fruit by playing with your mind in front of her.
Grandma Liu had this self-awareness, so she met Wang Xifeng and explained her intentions straight away: "Because the family road is difficult, I don't even have food, and today I am cold and cold, not for anything else, just run to your old age." ”
As soon as Wang Xifeng heard this, he smiled and said, "Needless to say, I know." "
Grandma Liu successfully got 20 taels of silver for the winter with Ban'er, although her posture was humble to the dust, but compared to her son-in-law, who would only sulk, what was such a humiliation?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" >2, Erjin Rongguofu: Reciprocal Gift</h1>
If Grandma Liu had only gone to the RongGuo Mansion once, she was just an ordinary peasant woman with a little wisdom, and Wang Xifeng was not unable to fight her, but was too lazy to play tricks with her.
What Grandma Liu is really powerful is that she knows how to exchange courtesies and exchanges, and she knows how to get back her lost dignity.
After passing the New Year's Pass, Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, and this time she not only found the field in the Grand View Garden, but also had the strength to interpret what is called "Funny, I am serious." ”
She brought the melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables grown in the field to Jia Fu, which touched everyone in the Grand View Garden, and Jia Mu deliberately left her for a few days.
These souvenirs brought by Grandma Liu are not worth a few dollars, and she understands that since she cannot be repaid materially, she will repay Jia Fu spiritually, and she sees that everyone takes pleasure in her, and she consciously becomes a funny artist in the Grand View Garden.
Sister Feng put flowers on her head, and she jokingly laughed at herself: "Although I am old, I was also affectionate when I was young, and I loved a flower powder, so I will simply be an old man today." "
Lin Daiyu laughed at Liu Grandma as a "mother locust", Miao Yu felt that the cup used by Liu Grandma was directly broken, these ridiculous details Liu Grandma could not detect it, but she pretended to be confused, still giggling and having to play a clown to tease everyone.
In the liquor order, others are saying crepe verses, but what she said is: "The fire burned the caterpillar", "Old Liu, Old Liu, the amount of food is as big as an ox", and the little sisters of the Grand View Garden had to lean forward and backward.
However, when she said the right thing, she immediately hid the old and improper energy and became respectful.
She took the souvenirs and said to the big guys, "I honor my aunts and grandmothers and girls to taste." The girls are tired of eating the taste of the mountains and the sea every day, and eating a wild vegetable is also our poor heart. "
She and Jia Mu said, "I am seventy-five years old, born to be a suffering person, and an old lady is born blessed. ”
She also made up a lot of curious rural stories, not only to please Jia Mu, but even Jia Baoyu was also fascinated by the end of the story of her girl's firewood.
It can be said that Liu Grandma ii entered the Rongguo Mansion, from material to spiritual life, and repaid the assistance of jia fu.
On the surface, she is a clown for everyone's amusement, but in fact she is a dignified woman, and she lives a more real and moving life than canaries such as Lin Daiyu, Miao Yu, and Xi Chun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" >3, Sanjin Rongguofu: Repay grace</h1>

Every time the righteous slaughter the dog generation, the negative heart is mostly a reader.
