Dream of Red Mansions Chapter 44 Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden for the second time and makes people laugh

Li Wan brought a bowl and placed it on Jia Mu's table. Sister Feng picked a bowl of pigeon eggs and placed it on Grandma Liu's table. Jia Mu said "please" and Grandma Liu stood up. , said loudly: "Old Liu, Old Liu, he eats as much as a cow, and he can eat an old sow without raising his head." But he puffed up his cheeks and said nothing. Everyone was stunned at first, and then when they heard it, everyone burst into laughter. Get up. Shi Xiangyun couldn't hold on anymore and squirted out a mouthful of rice. Lin Daiyu broke out laughing and leaned on the table. Baoyu had already rolled into Jia Mu's arms. Jia Mu hugged Baoyu with a smile and called her "heart". Mrs. Wang laughed. She pointed her finger at Sister Feng and was speechless. Aunt Xue couldn't hold it in anymore. The tea in her mouth sprayed all over Tanchun's skirt. The rice bowl in Tanchun's hand closed on Yingchun. Xichun left her seat and pulled him The wet nurse asked her to rub her intestines. There was no one on the ground who was not bending down. Some of them hid and squatted to laugh, and some of them suppressed their laughter and came up to change their sisters' clothes. Only Sister Feng and the two Mandarin Ducks were holding on, and they just did their best. Let Grandma Liu.

In order to please Grandma Jia, Grandma Liu deliberately made a lot of jokes when she entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time. Her joking words are enough to make people laugh, not to mention that after she said it, "she puffed up her cheeks and said nothing", her silly attitude strengthened the reason why she made people laugh. Grandma Liu's jokes and moods laid the foundation for everyone to laugh. However, the author did not write the "dynamic" scene of everyone laughing at the beginning, but wrote the "static" scene first. "Everyone was stunned first". In a state of confusion, this stroke is very realistic. The author hesitates a bit and then lets go to describe the collective scene of laughter. "Everyone burst into laughter," this is a general description that will lead to the following. What follows is a long description, which is specific but not too general. Especially the expressions of laughter are different and different from each other. And all kinds of different smiles are in line with a person's identity, status, temperament, and personality.

The eight people mentioned as laughing here include Xiangyun, Daiyu, Baoyu, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. They all laughed very hard, but they laughed so differently, and these different smiles were all consistent with their respective identities and personalities, as well as their age and physical condition.

(1) Sister Feng, Yuanyang and others deliberately mocked Grandma Liu because of her countryman status. As Sister Feng and others from a luxurious family, they sincerely looked down on country women, so they took pleasure in making fun of Grandma Liu.

(2) There is a reason why Cao Xueqin mentioned Xiangyun here first. This girl with a smart mind and a bold and uninhibited personality, when she thought about the meaning of Grandma Liu's words, she immediately couldn't hold it in anymore and "squirted out every bite of rice" she had in her mouth before she could swallow it. This is natural.

(3) Lin Daiyu’s way of laughing is different from Xiangyun. The author writes that she burst out laughing and was out of breath, so she "leaned over the table and just screamed 'Aah!'" Doesn't this really paint a vivid picture of her delicate figure?

(4) Tanchun and Xichun also laughed until their stomachs ached, but their moods were different from Lin Daiyu's. The author did not directly write about Tanchun's smile, but he wrote that the teacup in her hand was "closed on Yingchun" before she even had time to put it back on the table, which is enough to vividly describe her laughing mood. As for the young Xichun, since she had a wet nurse by her side, when she couldn't bear the laughter anymore, she would naturally leave her seat, run over and hold the wet nurse's hand and tell her to "rub her intestines."

(5) Baoyu, the author did not directly write about his smile, but it is very appropriate to write that he "rolled into Jia Mu's arms" and Jia Mu's "laughing and hugged Baoyu and called him 'heart'" ", how accurately these actions and words portray the joyful mood of this ancestor of the Jia family and her doting on Baoyu!

(6) An older person like Aunt Xue could not control herself, so much so that she sprayed "the tea in her mouth all over Tan Chun's skirt", which made her write this more fully. The power of laughter comes;

(7) It is written that Mrs. Wang "laughed so much that she pointed at Sister Feng but was speechless", especially the expressive pen, which not only describes her expressions and movements, but also She also showed her mental state. She may have guessed that Old Liu was so funny because of Girl Feng's teasing, but since it could make her mother-in-law laugh and it was harmless, there was no need to blame her deeply; what's more, what Grandma Liu said was really funny, so she just He could "point his finger at Sister Feng" and be "speechless".

(8) Some people "hide out and squat and laugh."

"Hide out" to show the difference in status between slave and master. The humble slave is not allowed to laugh wildly in the same room as the noble master; while those who "squat" laugh so hard that their stomach hurts and they can't straighten their backs. The more mature and prudent maid, after laughing, immediately "came up to change his sisters' clothes" because she had not forgotten her responsibility to serve her master anytime and anywhere. If he had to change the girls' clothes, of course he couldn't keep laughing, so Cao Xueqin wrote that they were "holding back their laughter."

No points?
