What is the emotional intelligence level of Wang Xifeng in the Red Chamber? Where can I see it?

In A Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng's role is almost equal to that of Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai. This strong woman, slim and coquettish, has no sign of spring on her pink face, and her red lips smell first and then laugh, full of worldly shrewdness. In addition, Feng's personality is straightforward and sharp, and he likes to show off his abilities. So the plot of her high IQ and EQ in the book.

That day, Wang Xifeng was late. Just as the old lady was appeasing Daiyu, Wang Xifeng suddenly "heard her voice first, then met her" and came in from the outside with a smile. He burst out: "I came late and didn't see the guests from afar!" "

You must be familiar with this plot, but few readers can find it. In fact, in the subsequent conversation, Wang Xifeng skillfully explained why she was late. Let's take a look at the original text:

When you speak, the tea fruit has been set. Xifeng personally offered Daiyu tea and fruit. When she saw Second Aunt, she asked, "Have you used up all your money every month?" "The monthly money has also been released," said Xi-feng. I just took someone upstairs to find satin. I searched for it for a long time, but I didn't see what my wife said yesterday. I think my wife made a mistake. " -The third time

This conversation between Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng is actually very interesting. Obviously, today, Lin Daiyu is the protagonist. Everything that Wang Xifeng, Jia Mu and others say is inseparable from Lin Daiyu. Mrs. Wang has been silent for a long time, and now she suddenly says that she doesn't care what Daiyu said when she said it, but only asks, "Have the maids been paid? "What a surprise!

What Mrs. Wang said is actually meaningful. When Dai Yugang entered Jia Fu, he didn't know the internal organizational structure of Jia Fu. Wang Xifeng was in such a hurry to arrange accommodation for her and told her to find something for herself, just like a "Jia Fu housekeeper".

In fact, Lady Wang is the real housekeeper of the mansion. She just "borrowed" Wang Xifeng from Jia's big room to be the housekeeper. So, at present, Wang Xifeng is in such a position, and Mrs. Wang Can has to declare sovereignty!

So, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked, "Have you paid the monthly money?" It is for this reason that she reminds everyone: Although A Feng is so capable and motivated, I still take care of her;

In addition, some critics believe that Mrs. Wang's move is telling the old lady: I am not alone in throwing everything to Wang Xifeng's shopkeeper, so don't think that I am lazy in my work. So Mrs. Wang's words are also for grandma.

Let's go back to Wang Xifeng. When Mrs. Wang asked, Wang Xifeng quickly replied: People's wages have already been paid. This is a normal answer to Mrs. Wang's question, but the problem lies in what Wang Xifeng said next: I just took someone upstairs to look for satin, and I haven't seen what Mrs. Wang said yesterday. I think Mrs. Wang is mistaken.

Mrs. Wang didn't ask any jokes. They weren't satin at all. Wang Xifeng icing on the cake, said so many words. Why?

This is really the cunning of Wang Xifeng. She never misses an opportunity to whitewash herself. Wasn't she late just now? Why are you late? I was late because I just took a group of people to find the jokes my wife wanted for a long time.

Wang Xifeng "whitewashed" herself intentionally or unintentionally, letting everyone know that A Feng has been working hard and her lateness is understandable.
