As for Baochai, the author first described her as a "self-proclaimed silent fool". At first glance, she is clearly a noble girl who knows the times and knows the rules, but later we will see that Baochai knows everything about Jia Fu and even eavesdrops, which is far from the image of a feudal lady.
As for xiren, the author called him "thick and stupid" by someone else's mouth, but how clear and eloquent was xiren's advice before Mrs. Wang?
Then there is Mrs. Wang, ostensibly a lady who eats vegetarian dishes and recites Buddha. The author also called her "an innocent person". Who knows, in the blink of an eye, after seeing Mrs. Wang destroying flowers and plants in Yuan, she only told the grandmother, and she kept her word, falsely accusing Qingwen of consumption, which was really harmful. ...
So the author always teases these people intentionally or unintentionally. For example, Baochai finally found an opportunity to rehearse husband and wife with Baoyu, and sat beside Baoyu's bed to embroider Yuanyang Chinese-style chest covering. Unexpectedly, Baoyu cried in his dream, "What did you say about marriage? I only said "before the alliance of wood and stone", which made people look at the spitter; Another example is Baoyu, who usually holds his daughter in his hand. He hit the attacker in the chest for the first time in his life, causing him to vomit blood.
Everything seems unintentional, but in fact the author intends to ridicule. At the residence, the author severely mocked the Xue family with two things.
The reason why Xue Jiaju's family went to Beijing has been said many times, so I won't repeat it here. After Xue Jia went to Beijing, he went straight to Jia Fu. Everyone was surprised except Mrs. Wang, but after all, everyone is a noble person and there are gifts. Jia Zheng arranged accommodation for him. Where is this residence? It is the pear fragrance garden in the northeast corner of Jiafu. It's been empty for a long time. The article writes pear fragrance court like this:
It turns out that this pear fragrance court is a quiet place for Rong Gong in his later years. Small coincidence, about ten houses, front hall and back room.
The place where Rong Guogong retired in his later years seems to be very tall. However, this pear fragrance court always means pear garden. This pear garden was a place where actors performed in ancient times. I don't know what the author is metaphorically speaking. After all, the author's writing has meaning in both names and places. Anyway. The interesting thing is behind.
Shortly after Xue Jia moved into Jia Jia's house, he became a princess. In order to welcome the relatives of the province, the Jia family not only built a villa for relatives of the province, but also bought many actors to entertain them. In this way, pear fragrance court became the place where the performers lived and practiced, while the Xue family had to move to other places.
This move is really interesting. Theoretically, in a house where a person eats and drinks, the house is the most important thing for the Jia family, but where can we not let the actors live and have to let the Xue family move out? It's really puzzling. This is equivalent to an expulsion order. After all, living in Jiafu for so long has somewhat annoyed the host. Moreover, this Xue family is not an ordinary relative, but a purposeful relative. Its "marriage of gold and jade" brought a lot of trouble to Jia, so he was ordered to move out of pear fragrance court, which probably meant Jia.
After the Xue family moved away, Jia Fu let the troupe live in. This seems to coincide with the "pear garden" mentioned earlier. In ancient times, the status of performers was extremely low. Even Aunt Zhao can point to Fangguan and scold "whore" and "pink head", and Mrs. Wang even scolds "every actor must be a fox". This shows how low a player's status is, and how interesting it is that such a player with low status has lived in the place where the Xue family once lived. This kind of feeling, is equivalent to, grandma liu drank the tea in the cup, wonderful jade would rather abandon the general. Is that what Jia Fu means?
The old lady's princess died, and all entertainment activities were banned by the people. Jia troupe had to be dissolved, and pear fragrance court was empty. But not long after, another small thing happened, which was not big. Because Sister You had no status, dignity and sense of existence in the Jia family, she died, which was not as influential as the cats and dogs in the Jia family. Only You Shi and Jia Rong came to visit at home. Not young, but Second Sister You is dead after all. When this man dies, there should be a place to cook and a ceremony. At least Jia Lian is here.
Interestingly, second sister, the place where you stopped was Lixiangyuan. What a strange coincidence!
It's ironic to say that pear fragrance court is used by actors to live in, and it's insulting to let Second Sister You, who had bad conduct before her death, die. Since the Xue family lived in pear fragrance court, it has been used by actors and the dead for the second time in a row, which seems to mean a broken jar. The yard has gradually become humble from the beginning.
