Fun Kan Red House 170: Sisterhood, Xue Baochao gave bird's nest on a rainy night, master and servant harmony, Lin Daiyu generously rewarded money
After Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao "cross-sectioned Jinlanqi jinlan language", the last mustard of the two also disappeared. They are all open-minded people, and the knots of their hearts are quickly unraveled and harmonious.
Xue Baochao took the opportunity to suggest to Lin Daiyu that she should eat more and maintain her body, and understand Lin Daiyu's difficulties and take the initiative to provide bird's nest to her.
Lin Daiyu truly accepted Xue Baochao and would not be polite with her. After composing the poem "Autumn Window Wind and Rain" that night, Jia Baoyu came to see her wearing the cloak given by the King of Beijing. The foreshadowing of the poem and the cloak, which has been analyzed in the first two chapters, will not be said here.
Lin Daiyu saw that the time was not early, urged Jia Baoyu to go back quickly, and then took out a glass hydrangea lantern to illuminate him, saying that he wanted to hold it himself, but Jia Baoyu turned around and handed it to the little girl to hold, and he supported her shoulder back. The metaphor here is very important.
First, the hydrangea has the meaning of marriage, and the ancient daughter "throws the hydrangea ball" to choose a husband. Lin Daiyu entrusted the marriage to Jia Baoyu.
Second, Jia Baoyu handed over the "glass hydrangea lantern" to the "lady", which is equivalent to handing over the marriage to others. In the future, Lin Daiyu eventually married someone else.
Third, pay attention to this "yatou", the Qiu Qiu that Wen Jiamu gave to Xue Baoqin was woven from "wild duck head hair". Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "This duck head is not the head, but there is osmanthus oil on the head."
Xue Baoqin is the shadow of her sister Xue Baochao, and Jia Mu means that the daughter of the Xue family is a "wild girl" who is not worthy of the prince of Jia Province.
Jia Baoyu handed over the "glass hydrangea lantern" to the "yatou", indicating the success of Jin Yuliang's marriage.
Fourth, "glass" is fragile, and "glass hydrangea lanterns" and the glass kang screen and mirror that appear twice represent the meaning of breaking.
The hydrangea is a marriage, and the glass is fragile, indicating that Bao Dai's marriage is not successful, which is related to the defeat of Jia Fu. Not mentioned.
Here Jia Baoyu went back, and Xue Baochao sent a mother-in-law to send Bird's Nest to Lin Daiyu.
(The forty-fifth time) there was a mother-in-law in the garden, who also carried a lamp with an umbrella and sent a large bag of fine bird's nest, as well as a bag of pure powder plum slices of snowflake candy. Say, "It's better than buying." The girl said: The girl ate first, and then sent it when she was finished. Dai Yu said, "Go back and say 'bother.'" "Ordered him to sit outside and eat tea." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "I don't eat tea anymore, I still have something to do." Dai Yu smiled, "I also know that you are busy." If today is cold and the night is long, it is more and more time to have a night game and gamble twice. The mother-in-law laughed and said, "Don't hide from the girl, this year I have been very wet." There are a few people every night in the horizontal vertical, and it is not good to be wrong, it is better to have a night game, sit more, and relieve the boredom. Today is my head house again, and now that the garden gate is closed, it is time to play. Dai Yu heard this and smiled, "It's hard for you." Mistakenly you get rich and send it in the rain. "Order someone to give him a few hundred dollars, some wine to eat, and shelter from the rain." The mother-in-law laughed and said, "I also paid the girl to enjoy wine and eat." Said, prostrated his head, picked up the money outside, and went with an umbrella.
Xue Baochao did what he said, and that night he sent his mother-in-law from The Garden to send Lin Daiyu a large bag of fine bird's nest, and added a package of "clean powder plum slice snowflake candy".
"Foreign sugar" refers to the mechanism sugar imported at that time, "clean powder plum slice snowflake foreign sugar" is basically a processed Western imported rock sugar containing ice chips, the color is white and cool.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records bird's nest: "Into the lungs of the main qi, into the kidneys to nourish the water, into the stomach to replenish the spleen, tonic but not dry." 'Rock sugar' into the spleen, lungs two meridians, tonic qi, and stomach moisturizing lungs. Relieves cough, dissolves phlegm and saliva. "Just suitable for Lin Daiyu to eat."
"Clean powder plum slice snowflake candy" should pay special attention, which corresponds to the "five-year plum blossom snow water" that Miao Yu took out on the same day. The two echo back and forth, it is the author who prompts Lin Daiyu to feel the goodness of Xue Baochao.
Five years of plum blossom snow water, referring to Lin Daiyu's waste of five years at that time, did not know Xue Baochao's good.
The clean powder plum slice snowflake foreign sugar refers to Daiyu putting down the knot in her heart and truly realizing the benefits of Xue Baochao.
As for Xue Baochao's view that borrowing "foreign sugar" and "bird's nest" to harm Lin Daiyu, reading books has its own angle, but there is no need to force consistency. Xue Baochao is virtuous or bad, and the clear-eyed people have their own public opinions.
In addition, the dialogue between Lin Daiyu and her mother-in-law is the most noticeable point.
First, Lin Daiyu was very kind to her mother-in-law. It was no longer the time when there was no dust at the time, and it was easy to scare Zhou Rui's family and Grandma Li.
Lin Daiyu was kind to her mother-in-law, not only was she a person sent by Xue Baochao, but she had to combine her with Xue Baochao to talk about the difficulties in Jia Province, "I don't know how to advance or retreat, why bother to let them curse me", and also understand Jia Baoyu asking her, "Tell me what you want to eat, Ming'er I go back to the old lady, is it better than the mother-in-law".
The mother-in-law who came from the Garden of Wuwu was not the Xue family but the Jia family. The mother-in-law represents those people in the Jia family who "curse" Lin Daiyu behind their backs. Dai Yu's kindness to her is a metaphor for seeking perfection.
Second, Lin Daiyu ordered people to give her mother-in-law a few hundred dollars, which was also her "courtesy". It may not have been so comprehensive before.
It should be known that the master of the Jia family gives a reward to the slave, which is not necessarily necessary, and can be given or not given. The friendship of the mother-in-law who sent bird's nest for Xue Baochao can certainly be given, and it will not be provoked if it is not given.
Later, Xing Xiuyan lived in Jia Yingchun's room, and one or two pieces of silver were not enough to reward these people for eating wine, which was also the author's innuendo of Lin Daiyu's "caution" and discomfort in the Jia family.
The more polite Dai Yu and her in-laws are, the more uncomfortable she is in the Jia family. She casually shot a few hundred dollars, before the little girl Jia Hui came to send tea to catch up with Jia Mu's reward, Xiao Xiangguan's servants shared the money, and also got Dai Yu to grab two big handfuls of money for her.
Lin Daiyu's reward is not how rich she is, but the embodiment of her prudence in everything.
I still remember when Lin Daiyu first came to Jia's house, "step by step, always care, not willing to easily say more than one word, one more step, lest he be ridiculed by others." Now she is not afraid of being ridiculed, but she is afraid of being despised and despised, which has become a heart disease that cannot be resolved in her heart.
Third, Lin Daiyu heard that her mother-in-law did not eat tea and said that there was something wrong, and she guessed that she was going to participate in "gambling" at night. This kind of insight is very powerful, and it is necessary to look at the gambling in the Jia Mu Grand View Garden on the night after.
Some people may say that since Dai Yu discovered the gambling thing, why didn't she care? The so-called not in his position and not in his government, Lin Daiyu has no reason to manage!
In addition, the mother-in-law gambling is the personnel affair of the Yuan, and dai Yu is not to be managed. After Wen Jia Mucha gambled so many people to participate, the mother-in-law of The Wuyuan garden could not be better, but there was a person from Xiaoxiang Hall who participated?
Lin Daiyu's restraint and control over her "family" has always existed. The pressure she feels is there, but she has the ability not to get out of control.
On the other hand, Xue Baochao was not the case, and she did not care that the mother-in-law who sent bird's nests participated in gambling. Lady Houwen asked her to assist the housekeeper Rong Guofu and told her to look after those who gambled disobediently, and in the end it was the Problem of The Grand View Garden Gathering Gambling...
A series of questions all pointed to one point, Xue Baochao's overall quality on the surface looks on par with Lin Daiyu, but there is a deep gap.
Lin Daiyu still has the ability in such a difficult environment, and there is a way to restrain the mother-in-law around her from participating in the gambling of the Grand View Garden. Since she is a good housekeeper, why not be good to her mother-in-law?
A good family member is not wang Xifeng's own benefit, but the whole family benefits. Although Xiao Xiangguan's mother-in-law initially envied others for "big dipping light", when Jia Mucha gambled and was severely punished and lost the face of several lifetimes, she would be afraid and glad that Lin Girl was correct.
Xue Baochao was not unaware that "gambling" was not good, but he did not pay attention to restraining his own people like Lin Daiyu.
The mother-in-law's hurried appearance, happy for the sake of immediate interests, represented xue Baochao's more thoughts only on herself. Don't say that the in-laws of the Jia family in the Wuyuan Garden, even if they are close to the maids and warblers, the behavior of picking wicker flowers and weaving flower baskets in the Grand View Garden is also Xue Baochao's failure to discipline.
Earlier we compared the small differences between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao. Both were good, and Xue Baochao was more considerate, erudite, and thoughtful than Daiyu. The problem is that if it is really implemented in the proper implementation of the "daughter-in-law", the daughter of the Xue family is worse than the daughter of the Lin family.
This gap between The Two Families is not that Xue Baochao is inferior, but the gap between the two families' upbringing and discipleship.
Although Xue Baochao studied some things, he could not avoid applying to the east, and only got the skin and could not deeply understand and implement them. Not mentioned.
Moreover, Lin Daiyu felt sorry for Bao Chao on the pillow, and at the same time envied him for having a mother and brother; on the other hand, she thought that although Bao Yu was accustomed to harmony, she was eventually suspicious. I heard the sound of rain pouring down on the scorched leaves of the bamboo shoots outside the window, and the cold penetrated the curtain, and I did not feel that tears were dripping again. Until the four more generals, Fang gradually fell asleep... Her story has been revealed and ended.
Cao Xueqin's words turned sharply at this point, and Wang Xifeng's side rose up again and again. So, what's going on? To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
Welcome to pay attention to the author, like, collection, "Fun Kan Red Chamber" series of articles once a day, will continue to update for you!
