"Dream of the Red Chamber" appreciation | The little girl told the scene of Qingwen's death, and Jia Baoyu believed it to be true

Qingwen died, Jia Baoyu was very sad, he was ready to probe the specific details of Qingwen's death, this answer did not come from the big guys such as Raiders and Musk Yue, but from the two little girls, these two little girls did not even give names in the book, which showed the status of the two of them in the Jia Mansion, however, it was these two little ladies who sang a harmony in front of Jia Baoyu, and even used the poignant picture of Qingwen's death to deceive Jia Baoyu into believing it.

Why could Jia Baoyu trust the words of the two little girls? In my analysis, there are two reasons for this. One is that Jia Baoyu misses Qingwen's departure very much, and the other is that these two little girls describe too vivid images, whether it is lying or not, really seeing the scene of Qingwen's death, they describe the scene very much in line with Jia Baoyu's psychology at that time, and have a strong resonance with Jia Baoyu's inner world. Based on these two points, Jia Baoyu was convinced of their description.

The words of the little girl in the original work may be true, but in my opinion, those words were used to trick Jia Baoyu, and it was just a manifestation of the little girl's strong adaptability on the spot.

It can be seen from this incident that lies can sometimes play a special role in specific circumstances, and it is not necessary to blindly be more truthful.
