Drama Review丨 The understanding person in "Know or Not": Grandmother of the Sheng family

The heroine in the recent hit "You know, you should be green, fat, red and thin", Sheng Minglan was born in a family of officials in Jiangnan. As the most unloved daughter in the family, she has been in love since childhood. In the predicament of being ignored by his father and being bullied by his sisters, it is not only difficult to survive, but there are also unexpected crises hidden in the deep house.

Fortunately, Minglan knew her destiny but was not manipulated by it. She remained strong and self-reliant despite all kinds of pressure, and carefully observed the world's affairs along the way. From being ignored and bullied at home, she became a decisive figure affecting the prosperity of her family. The characters complete the journey of progressive and inspiring life from a girl in the boudoir to the mistress of a noble family.

Sheng Minglan’s inspirational life is closely related to her character of being proud of snow and frost, bold of sword and heart of piano, intelligent and forbearing, and wise but foolish.

The development of her character was indispensable without the guidance of her grandmother. Mrs. Sheng took Minglan, who lost her mother at a young age, to raise her and cared for her very much. The grandfather and grandson worked together to make a difference step by step.

In the play, Minglan pretends to be stupid and is called a fool by her two sisters, who bullies her everywhere. In fact, she is as wise as a fool and is the smartest of the three sisters.

If Minglan can grow up under the guidance of a wise grandmother, she will naturally be good. In the entire drama, the one who lives and understands the most clearly is the Sheng family’s grandmother.

Whether it is family disputes, officialdom battles, or the marriage issues of her grandchildren, my grandmother always has her opinions and opinions, and her words are convincing to everyone. Grandma's ability and wisdom can be seen everywhere.

Minglan's mother was killed, one dead and two dead. Master Sheng returned home and became furious, beating and slapping the servants at home. Old Mrs. Sheng said to the Master of the Sheng family: You, you, you, these unscrupulous servants have lived at home for many years, and they know their roots well. They could have taken them to Bianjing and dealt with them. No one knows their origins, but you happened to attack them again at this time. Sold again, and a grudge has been made. Your concubine died in the front leg, and your slaves were sold in the back leg. No one can guess the strangeness. If there is someone who is jealous of your promotion, drag them to be a witness and give you a copy. Do you still want to comply? Well done, will you be promoted to Bianjing? After hearing this, the master of the Sheng family came to his senses and said: I am confused, my son is really reckless, my mother is right, my son is shallow, please give me more advice.

Minglan was originally in love with her young master, but was blocked by the princess. Minglan was very disappointed because of this. Her smooth grandmother solved the problem of who should be the head of the family with just a few words and found a new wife. A good excuse to take Minglan out to relax.

Grandmother said to the master of the Sheng family: After all, the sixth girl's housekeeping job is a temporary job. The eldest lady made a mistake and is punished to this day. It is enough. Changbai's bride has just entered the family, so it is not good to ask her to look after her mother-in-law. What a joke, Xiaoliu went with me and left the housekeeper's errands to the eldest lady. Everyone's face looks good. After hearing this, the master of the Sheng family praised him and said, "My mother is thoughtful about everything!"

Minglan and her grandmother were on the boat. Her grandmother asked Minglan: Are you still dizzy these days? Minglan returned: The sky is high, the water is clear, the scenery is broad, and things are much better now. Grandma said: The scenery is open. Are you open? Minglan said: If a person is cramped, life will be boring. It just so happens that I can take advantage of the beautiful scenery to clear my mind and broaden my mind. Grandma said: If you can think openly, it is good.

On the wedding day of the Sheng family's son Changbai, the Earl's wife and her family came to have a drink. The princess praised her family for its luxuriant children and luxuriant branches. The eldest lady's happy reply was interrupted by the princess, who was very embarrassed. Grandma's words made the princess very happy. The grandmother and the Countess said: Although having more children means blessings, we are not a farmer's family. We have to rely on the men to work and fight for water. It is better to have more children than to have more children. Like your young father-in-law, he is so successful. One is enough. If you don’t live up to expectations, the more you have, the more headache you will have.

The grandmother of the Sheng family can be said to be very attentive to Minglan. She not only taught her how to deal with various things in the inner house and how to manage housework, but also analyzed the pros and cons and what was best for herself.

Grandma told Minglan: Your biological brother, your biological mother, your future biological husband, biological children, after all, they will never be with you for the rest of your life. The path of your life depends on how you come and go.

Grandma knew very well that Minglan and the young prince of the Duke of Qi could not be together. The princess was a proud person and could not tolerate Minglan, a concubine from a fifth-rank official family.

So I told Minglan early: Ming'er, you are smart. You must know that there are some things that you must not do or cannot do!

Aunt Kong came to the house to teach the girls the rules. At a glance, she saw that Minglan was the smartest of the three granddaughters. She called her a wise and foolish person and blamed Mrs. Sheng for not caring about her house. The girl inside.

Old Mrs. Sheng scolded you back and said: They say you are the smartest, but I think the official lady has indulged you guys too much. She has made you so squeamish that anyone can scold you. I can't help but feel bad for the children in my house who I have raised since childhood, but what about the other two, one is a direct descendant, the other is a concubine, and she only has an old woman like me to support her. Yes, I am here to see my ancestors. Everyone comes to worship me, but I am an elderly person. I took off my shoes and socks tonight. I have not yet decided whether to wear them tomorrow. Minglan is now at home, being cautious. If you praise her, those two will be happy. The more you praise her, the more it will hurt her. You say I'm petty, but I'm petty. When I care, I become confused, and when I care, I tolerate. Not only do I endure, but even Girl Ming, because I tolerate a lot of things, she never gives me the slightest trouble. If I don't love her, no one will.

Various deeds show that in the drama "Know or Not", the grandmother of the Sheng family is the understanding person. Therefore, she also raised a sensible granddaughter. After Minglan married Gu Erlang, she took care of the family business and housekeeping, eradicated traitors and spent the night, and was finally granted the title of a first-class imperial wife.

Minglan inherited her grandmother's usual handling style and relaxed attitude, and her words were exactly the same.

Minglan said: It’s not about being indecisive, it’s just about whether it’s worth it. In life, your own happiness is naturally more important. When there is no hope, that is when hope will come soon.

She is also extremely grateful to her grandmother. After her grandmother was murdered and poisoned, the Sheng family remained silent, but Minglan stepped forward without hesitation, insisting on her aunt's mother to contradict her biological father, just to clear her grandmother's life.

Minglan said to her grandmother: Thank you for raising me, protecting me, teaching me to grow up, and giving me the courage to face this nasty place when I was most helpless.

In the play, the grandmother and Minglan depend on each other and support each other. One side loves each other very much, and the other side repays the kindness. I think this is the most interesting emotional line in the play.
