Pinger, Wang Xifeng's former servant girl, Jia Lian's servant girl (one level lower than my concubine and one level higher than my servant girl), is Wang Xifeng's most capable confidant. Smart and capable, kind-hearted, good at dealing with the world, Jia Lian's customs and Xifeng's power can be considerate. Jia Lian had an affair with many girls. Pinger shook out a lock of hair from the pillowcase, but kept it from Xi-feng, thus avoiding a storm. Xi-feng was ill, and Tanchun was the housekeeper, accompanied by Pinger. Seeing that Tanchun is young and unmarried, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law thinks she is inexperienced and wants to bully her, even letting her biological mother Aunt Zhao make trouble. When this happens, Pinger can handle it and handle it properly. Pinger always expressed support for Tanchun's shortcomings, and then told a story that should have been changed a long time ago. It didn't hurt Tanchun and saved Xifeng's face, which led Baochai to touch Pinger's face and say with a smile, "Open your mouth and let me see what your teeth and tongue are made of." From getting up early to this moment, you have said these words in one way or another. You have never flattered Third Girl, you have never said that Grandma was an accident, and Third Girl has never said anything, so you just said yes. Three girls have a set of words, and you have a set of words; The third girl always thinks of this, and so does your grandmother, but there must be an impossible reason ... he is so worried and humble, and her grandmother is not good with us. After listening to his words, she must be ashamed to get better and her discord has changed. " (Back to 56)
Pinger never bullies others with power. She is kind-hearted and instinctively sympathizes with those slaves whose status is similar to or lower than her. In the case of poria cocos cream and rose dew, she suggested that Xi- feng "let go when you have to". "What's the big deal?" (Sixty-first time) This saved the Liu family from a disaster. Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, and Pinger found out and told Xifeng. Later, when Xifeng insulted Second Sister You, she gave her sympathy to Second Sister You, which caused Wang Xifeng's dissatisfaction. When Second Sister You died, Wang Xifeng said that she had no money for the funeral. Pinger stole two hundred and twenty pieces of silver and gave it to Jia Lian for handling. Of course, it is very difficult for Pinger, a slave, to handle all kinds of complicated relationships and events he has mastered. In many contradictions, she often feels the hardship of the situation and the bitterness of her heart. This is a very successful character image.
Pinger's ending is not implied by the author. In the last forty years, she continued to write until Xifeng died. Pinger took good care of Wang Fengjie's daughter Jia and sent her out of the Grand View Garden. Grandma Liu took her out. Finally, Jia Lian helped her.
Pinger respects capable women, so she listens to Xifeng everywhere and takes care of Tanchun everywhere.
Pinger is a smart person, so she can live between Xifeng and Jia Lian. Watching 2 1 back to Qiao Pinger's soft words to save Jia Lian, we can know that she is a little interested in Jia Lian and Feng at ordinary times, so both of them have taboos about her.
Pinger is gradually influencing and controlling a group of people through the power of Xifeng. Her status is improving step by step, but I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.
She knows that "clear water means no fish, and people have no disciples." Pinger's character is that she hopes to calm things down, roll with the punches, and is kind-hearted. Joe doesn't fight for spring either.
Pinger is one of the important women in A Dream of Red Mansions. Her name should be listed in the supplement to Twelve Women in Jinling. This is because she is not only the maid of the housekeeper Wang Xifeng, but also the "confidant" of the authorities; More importantly, with the acquiescence of the authorities, she was accepted by Mr. Lian as a concubine and became a "semi-master" herself.
Throughout the 120 chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, the author used quite a lot of pen and ink to describe Pinger's story. Although we can't find any touching sad and happy plots, as long as we pay a little attention, we will find that her behavior and personality run through the whole novel, leaving a complete impression on the readers. For example, her name was written four times in the reply-No.21reply "Qiao Pinger saved Jia Lian softly", No.44 reply "Pinger was overjoyed with makeup", No.52 reply "Qiao Pinger hid her shrimp bracelet" and No.6/kloc-0 reply "Pinger was sentenced to exercise her rights in prison". It can be seen from these reviews that the author is obviously deliberately highlighting Pinger, a special person.
The description of important figures in A Dream of Red Mansions often adopts the methods of "setting off" and "setting off". For example, Grandmother Jia took Granny Liu to "set out"; Jia Zheng used Jia She as a foil. Wang Xifeng's "foil" character is Pinger, just like a green leaf with a red flower, which makes the red flower more "red", while the green leaf looks a little handsome against the red flower. The author used the word "Qiao Pinger" twice in his reply, which obviously took some thought.
Judging from the description of manners, Pinger's description of looks is really rare, not as good as xiren, Qingsha and other big girls, or even Yuanyang and Zijuan. For example, the sixth novel "Granny Liu enters Guo Rongfu" is about Pinger's debut. The author describes Pinger's behavior through Granny Liu's eyes, and only makes the following introduction:
Grandma Liu saw Pinger dressed in gold and silver, beautiful as a fairy, and it turned out to be Xifeng. I just wanted to call her aunt, but suddenly I saw that everyone in Zhou Rui's family called her Miss Ping, and Pinger was anxious to call Zhou Rui's aunt, only to know that she was just a decent girl.
The so-called "full of gold and silver, beautiful" can be said to be suitable for many daughters described in A Dream of Red Mansions. Imagine that among the twelve women in the original and supplementary volumes of A Dream of Red Mansions, which one is not "covered with gold and silver" and which one is not "as beautiful as a fairy"? Pinger is not alone!
Later, 2 1 tells the story of "Qiao Pinger saved Jia Lian with soft words", so it is time to write the "Qiao" of this Pinger girl. However, there was only one sentence on the paper: "Jia Lian saw that he was charming and emotional, so he hugged him for love, and Pinger snatched him away." By chapter 44, the book has passed a third, and it seems that Pinger's "beauty" when she was "overjoyed" should be greatly exaggerated, but it is not. This time, I only wrote one sentence: "Pinger's makeup is really bright and abnormal, sweet and fragrant." A few strokes, passing by, it is difficult to see Miss Ping's "beauty". As for the fifty-second song "Qiao Ping loves to cover a shrimp bracelet", the author wrote it on "Love Cover" with pen and ink, but found nothing about Pinger. In this way, readers can't help asking: Where is Pinger's "cleverness"?
I'm afraid many people have had this doubt, so have I. However, after reading A Dream of Red Mansions several times, my experience is slightly different. I think the author's original intention is to write Pinger's temperament and soul, not her appearance. Because the description of Pinger in the novel focuses on her movements, through many movements, readers feel that Pinger is lovely, respectable and somewhat sympathetic. To sum up, we can see from the following facts:
(1) Be loyal to the victim and have no distractions. The thirty-ninth time, Li Wan once commented on Pinger and said, "You are the master key of your grandmother". This comment hit home and exposed Pinger's identity and status. As Wang Zhaofeng's "confidant", Pinger showed the character of being loyal to the victims. She always thinks of her grandmother and shares many housework. Everything that belongs to Feng must pass through her hand first, and then report to Feng for decision. Like a senior life secretary, she keeps everything in order and never oversteps her authority. I'm afraid this is an important reason for her to win trust-Feng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married the Jia family, nor would she have been accepted as a "semi-master" by Jia Lian.
Secondly, although she is a concubine in name, she never competes with Xi 'an. Instead, she asked Xi to go anywhere. Even if Jia Lian sometimes wants to "hug and beg for sex", she tries her best to "grab her hand and run". This is not easy for people in Pinger's position. I'm afraid this is also the reason why Xifeng can tolerate such a person around her. Pinger once said that there were four maids accompanying the room, and all of them were sent away, leaving Pinger. Why did Xifeng leave Pinger alone? Why not all stay? Because Xifeng can't tolerate four people vying for her grandmother's position. Why did Pinger stay? Because that's what feudal women do. A powerful family like Jia, whose eldest son has no concubine, will be regarded as an adulteress. So Xifeng must keep one. She can't keep jealous people, and Pinger knows this very well, so she keeps Pinger. Later, Pinger really got what Xifeng wanted. Pinger doesn't like to be jealous. She has always been partial to Xifeng and never associates with Jia Lian. If you are as ignorant and jealous as Qiu Tong, you will be disposed of in a few days. Jia Baoyu knows Pinger's situation very well. He once lamented that it was not easy for Pinger to be considerate between Jia Lian's customs and Xifeng's power. The 2 1 cycle of "Qiaoping's soft words to save Jia Lian" and the 44th cycle of "Pinger's makeup" reflect Pinger's calm character.
Pinger's loyalty to the victims is also manifested in her timely report on things that endanger Xifeng's status, which is unambiguous. For example, Jia Lian stole Second Sister You. It was she who got the news first and reported it to Wang Xifeng to show her loyalty.
(2) Kindness and generosity. Pinger is a confidant of Xifeng, and she has a certain birthright, but she will never bully the weak and fear the hard. The first thing is the fifty-second time "Qiao Pinger covers the shrimp bracelet". Her bracelet was stolen by Zhui Er, a little girl in Baoyu's room, but she didn't want to tell anyone. On the one hand, I made allowance for Baoyu's good intentions towards his daughter, and saved the face of Baoyu and the big girl in the room. On the other hand, I took care of Qingwen's illness. All three were beautiful. The second thing is the sixth1time "the prisoner was sentenced to exercise power". She was dealing with the theft of poria cocos cream. When the truth came out, she could still look back, forbearing the thief and protecting the good man, and did not live up to Baoyu's painstaking efforts. The third thing is that in the last 40 chapters, when Qiaojie was betrayed by her treacherous brother and cruel uncle, Pinger took good care of Qiaojie and was able to escape. Even Jia Lian was deeply moved and planned to help her as the first wife. This shows that she is loyal to Xifeng, which shows that she is kind. In addition, if Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, Pinger also told Xifeng, but did not approve of mistreating Second Sister You and killed Second Sister You. She sympathized with Second Sister You, and even she helped Jia Lian with the funeral after Second Sister You's death. She told Jia that she wanted to marry Yuanyang. She also stood with Yuanyang, calling Jia She the devil, sympathizing with and supporting Yuanyang. Back to the 65th time, Xinger said Pinger was very kind. "She often does good deeds behind her grandmother's back." . It can be seen from the above facts that Pinger is very kind. It is rare for a person to be as fair as a child when he is in favor, but there are many people who are arrogant. Pinger's cuteness and respect are also shown in these seemingly ordinary but unusual daily lives.
(3) Smart and clear-headed. Pinger's cleverness is not only reflected in her handling of the relationship between Xifeng and Jia Lian, but also in her persuasion of Xifeng several times. For example, No.61,when Pinger returned to her room to report the theft of poria cocos cream, Xifeng said, "According to my idea, all the maids in my wife's room should be brought. Although it is not convenient to torture them at will, I just let them kneel in the sun and stick tiles, without giving them tea or food. If you don't kneel for a day, you will be blamed for it. ..... "At this moment, ping son press a way:
Why bother! "If you have to let go, you have to let go." What's the big deal? I'm too happy not to show kindness. As far as I'm concerned, even if we stay in this room, we will go there eventually. There is no need to make some little people hate and disgust them. Besides, I finally got pregnant with a buddy, but it was gone after six or seven months. I don't know if I was hurt by overwork and anger. Now it's just a matter of seeing half and not seeing half.
This piece of advice to Wang Xifeng can be described as heartfelt words and wise words. On the one hand, let us see Pinger's tolerant, kind and peaceful side, and also let us see her intelligence and sobriety. At this point, I'm afraid Wang Xifeng is not as good as Pinger. Because, although Xifeng was extremely clever all her life, the root of her illness lies in blindly believing that power can achieve all purposes and blindly imposing power. She forgot the truth of "be lenient with others, be lenient with others", and that managing the family and governing the country requires "kindness and kindness" training!
Pinger, she is the maid who accompanied Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian in A Dream of Red Mansions. She is a very smart and handsome girl (the 44th reply to Baoyu's words). Although she is a confidant of Xifeng, she wants to help her, but she has a good heart and always does good things behind Wang Xifeng's back. After Wang Xifeng's death, Wang Ren and Jia Huan wanted to sell Qiaojie to the Francisco king as a servant girl, and Pinger accompanied Qiaojie to escape from the Grand View Garden. Later, Jia Lian helped Pinger.
Pinger, Wang Xifeng's former servant girl, Jia Lian's servant girl (one level lower than my concubine and one level higher than my servant girl), is Wang Xifeng's most capable confidant. Smart and capable, kind-hearted, good at dealing with the world, Jia Lian's customs and Xifeng's power can be considerate. Jia Lian had an affair with many girls. Pinger shook out a lock of hair from the pillowcase, but kept it from Xi-feng, thus avoiding a storm. Xi-feng was ill, and Tanchun was the housekeeper, accompanied by Pinger. Seeing that Tanchun is young and unmarried, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law thinks she is inexperienced and wants to bully her, even letting her biological mother Aunt Zhao make trouble. When this happens, Pinger can handle it and handle it properly. Pinger always expressed support for Tanchun's shortcomings, and then told a story that should have been changed a long time ago. It didn't hurt Tanchun and saved Xifeng's face, which led Baochai to touch Pinger's face and say with a smile, "Open your mouth and let me see what your teeth and tongue are made of."

After listening to his words, she must be ashamed to get better and her discord has changed. " (Back to 56)
Pinger never bullies others with power. She is kind-hearted and instinctively sympathizes with those slaves whose status is similar to or lower than her. In the case of poria cocos cream and rose dew, she suggested that Xi- feng "let go when you have to". "What's the big deal?" (Sixty-first time) This saved the Liu family from a disaster.

In the novel, Pinger and Wang Xifeng are a pair of characters who set each other off, and Pinger's plainness and beauty are splashed all over by Wang Xifeng. Revealed in the spicy and cruel behavior, her plainness and beauty are used to set off Xifeng's fierceness and cruelty. Wang Xifeng is famous for her beauty and ugliness. Pinger can't "take away" the beauty of her master in appearance, but she is handsome at heart-just as Beijingers say "inner beauty".
Therefore, Pinger is "pretty but not striving for spring". This "spring" is Wang Xifeng!
Pinger is famous for her beauty and ugliness. Pinger can't "take away" the beauty of her master on the outside, but she is handsome on the inside-"beauty in the heart" as the Beijing saying goes.
Therefore, Pinger is "pretty but not striving for spring". This "spring" is Wang Xifeng!
