Jia Baoyu has eight big men around him who are responsible for his daily life. Each of the eight people has a different division of labor, but there will also be intersecting work. In addition to the work that they are basically responsible for, the others are also less clear-cut.
Taking washing as an example, fetching water, cleaning and other things are arranged by Qiu Wen and Bi Jian. However, when it comes to washing, there will also be a corresponding random arrangement.
Jia Baoyu's life is basically unable to take care of himself. When I go to sleep, my pants are all helped to tie them. For example, when Shi Xiangyun came that day, he washed his face casually in the Daiyu room, and he also asked Shi Xiangyun to help comb his hair. Trivial things such as brushing teeth, changing water, wiping hair, etc., must also be the help of the servants.
Not only that, Jia Baoyu's bathing was more interesting. When he was a child, he was in charge of grandma Li, without a doubt. After Grandma Li retired, she waited for him to take a bath. But as he gets older, he usually washes it himself.
(Twenty-fourth time) The autumn stripe was complaining, "You wet my skirt," and the one said, "You kicked my shoes." Suddenly, I saw a person come out to pick up the water, and when the two people looked, it was not someone else, it turned out to be Xiaohong. Both of them were surprised, put down the water, and rushed into the room to look east and west, there was no one else, only Baoyu, and they felt very uncomfortable. I had to prepare the things for the bath, and when Baoyu took off her clothes, the two of them took the door out...
Jia Baoyu took a bath, not only to fetch water, but to have a series of auxiliaries such as spices, soap, hot water, and refill water, and to watch him take off his clothes and enter the bath tub to ensure that there was no safety problem such as falling, and the servants could exit.
Of course, if Jia Baoyu needs to scrub his back, the servants will need to serve inside and cannot go out.
Some people may say that Jia Baoyu is already old, and the girls are all daughters, so don't you need to avoid suspicion?
In fact, there is no difference between a man and a woman between a servant and a master. The slave is responsible for all the daily life of the master and does not need to be "shy".
When things like raiders and Jia Baoyu "secretly test the cloud and rain", she has no psychological and moral pressure, just because they should perform their duties.
The servants of the Jia family are even more different from the servants of ordinary people. Most of them were bought by the family or death deeds, which belonged to the private property of the owners. Not to mention personal honor and disgrace, even life and death, buying and selling gifts are also ordinary, with the master's happiness, they dare not and can not have any objections and resistance.
In front of their masters, they cannot talk about innocence and shame, and let them give and take. On the contrary, the master will have requirements for the servants to obey the etiquette and shame and follow the rules.
Therefore, when Jia Baoyu wanted to take a bath with Qingwen, Qingwen's refusal was not whether she should or should not, but whether she was purely willing to be "pampered and proud" personally.
Bao Yu smiled, "I just ate a lot of wine, and I have to wash it." You didn't wash it, but took water and washed it with the two of us. Qingwen shook her hand and smiled, "Stop, stop, I don't dare to mess with Grandpa." I still remember that Bi Chen sent you to take a bath for two or three hours, and I didn't know what to do. We're not good to get in. Later, after washing, I went in to see, the water in the ground flooded the legs of the bed, and even the mat was covered with water, and I didn't know how to wash it, and I laughed for a few days. I don't have the time to clean up or wash with me. It's also cool today, it will be washed, you don't have to wash it again. I pour a basin of water and you wash your face and your head. The Mandarin Ducks have just sent some fruit, and they are all in the crystal jar, and they ask them to send you to eat. ”
Jia Baoyu did not shy away from pulling Qingwen to wash together, which was his right to be the master. Qingwen is not responsible for Jia Baoyu's washing, and it is not good (not impossible) to force it when she refuses to serve.
Moreover, while Qingwen refused, she also told a funny experience of Jia Baoyu and Bi Chen. It is said that Bi Jian waited for Jia Baoyu to take a bath for two or three hours, and afterwards the room was full of water. This is obviously beyond the scope of bathing.
Although Qingwen is a handmaiden, she is the most clean and self-righteous, never comes with Jia Baoyuhu, does not rely on dedication to invite favors, and is even more disdainful of other people's "sneaking" behavior.
She said that the raiders secretly tried "sneaky", said that Musk Yue combed her hair and "concealed the gods and made ghosts", and said that Bi Jian "did not know how to wash it" when she took a bath, all of which were exposed to Jia Baoyu and the servants."
Of course, Jia Baoyu is older, and the hearts of the servants are floating, and it is not an immoral thing to try to gain future identity through promotion and flock to it. Who wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives!
Qingwen disdains it, which is both her nobility and her incompatibility. "The world is as black as a crow", Qingwen is different, destined to be excluded and marginalized.
Jia Baoyu, as the master, did as he pleased, but did not know his existence and behavior, which brought very bad hints and guidance to the servants.
There are very few people who can be as strict as Qingwen, and most of them will go with the flow, and even expand their ambitions, in a vain attempt to win a chance to become an aunt by "secretly trying" with Jia Baoyu.
Behind these "details" of Yihong Courtyard, what is sinister is the human heart and the real test of human desires.
