What does "silver spear head" mean? Why did Lin Daiyu scold Baoyu so much?

In the 23rd episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu was swept away while Baoyu was secretly reading The West Chamber. She found that Daiyu asked Baoyu what books he had read, but Baoyu hid. He didn't want to expose himself to reading "obscene" books in front of Daiyu, and lied that it was books like The Doctrine of the Mean and University. Daiyu knows the nature of Baoyu, and the four books and five classics are like a scourge to him. How can he study so hard? He threatened, "You're playing tricks on me again. You've shown me a lot before it's too late." Knowing that he could not escape, Baoyu quickly confessed, "My dear sister, I am not afraid if I talk about you. It's really a good book. I don't even want to eat after reading it. "

Sure enough, as soon as Daiyu got the West Chamber, she felt that the fragrance was overflowing. She warned people in words and just recited it silently. Lin Daiyu loves The West Chamber very much and even meditates. Obviously, this book aroused her Song Dynasty, and the heroine who boldly pursued love in the book was moved by Dai Yu.

Baoyu smiled as he looked at it. "Sister, what do you think?" Daiyu said with a smile, "That's interesting." Baoyu smiled and said, "I am a sad and sick person, and you are the real beauty."

What does this sentence mean? In Bao Dai's The West Chamber, Zhang Sheng, the hero, fell in love with Cui Yingying at first sight and became lovesick. In the period of making trouble, Zhang Sheng sang: "I am a sad and sick body, and you are a beautiful face." Baoyu quoted what Zhang Sheng said to Lin Daiyu, saying that his relationship with Daiyu was equivalent to the love relationship between the two heroes and heroines in The West Chamber, indicating that they were lovers, which was an indirect confession.

Daiyu and Baoyu have cherished each other for a long time. To what extent does Daiyu tease Baochai because she likes Baoyu? Not because of the exclusivity of love. In theory, Daiyu should be glad that Baoyu made such a bold indirect confession for the first time, but how did Daiyu behave? She was annoyed, really annoyed, and the book wrote:

Daiyu didn't realize that her cheeks were flushed and her ears were red. She immediately raised two frowning eyebrows and stared at two staring eyes. Her cheeks were angry and her thin face was angry. She said to Baoyu, "You damn nonsense! I got this obscene song very well and learned these mixed words to bully me. I told my uncle to go. " Speaking of the word "bullying", my eyes turned red again and I turned around and left.

Daiyu is really angry. Does she think Baoyu is angry because he makes fun of him? No, Daiyu knew from books that Baoyu was telling the truth, but she was still angry. Why?

Daiyu's time determines her attitude towards love. As a lady, Daiyu was taught by her family at an early age, such as "three obedience and four virtues", "don't say anything if you are indecent" and stay away from obscene songs. Although she has an awakening to Baoyu, the feudal ethics has penetrated into the bone marrow, so when she hears Baoyu's words, she must feel that Baoyu abruptly ignores her.

Baoyu was anxious when he saw that Daiyu's eyes were red. Without considering whether Daiyu really wanted to complain to Jia Zheng, she stopped Daiyu and said a bunch of ambiguous words to acquiesce:

"Good sister, please give me a break this time. I was wrong. I want to bully you, and I will fall into the pool tomorrow and teach the donkey to swallow it. When you become a' Mrs. Yipin' and die tomorrow, I will go to your grave to carry a monument for you for life. "

As for Baoyu's later vows of becoming a monk and thundering, this should be the most insincere oath Baoyu has ever said. It's just nonsense, but it's rare that he can make it up casually and humorously, and the more he makes it up, the more stupid he becomes. Daiyu couldn't hold her hand anymore, so she snorted and smiled. Smiled and said:

"Tiger general this tone, also just nonsense. Bah, it turned out to be' Miao is not beautiful, it is a silver-like spear head'. "

Coincidentally, Lin Daiyu's cynicism about Baoyu also comes from The West Chamber. In the second compromise of the fourth book, the matchmaker laughed at Zhang Sheng:

Now that it has been leaked, how can we stop it? Is my soul mate. My family went to the funeral with wine and tea. Don't worry, why do you have to make an appointment with the media? I gave up the deployment and didn't accept it. You used to be "no show". Bah, you are a silver spear.

What do you mean? Now, your west wing has been leaked, don't you take the initiative to admit your mistake? Our family is accommodating you in turn, so we don't need a matchmaker. What are you afraid of? I don't want to be your master anymore. You are really ugly.

The spear head of pheasant is tin-lead alloy, which looks like silver, but it is actually soft metal. If it is used as a spear head, it is useless except for looking good, so the matchmaker uses it to satirize Zhang Sheng.
