Joke in front of people

Granny Liu played a joke in the Grand View Garden, and everyone laughed their heads off except Xue Baochai. This is because Xue Baochai's background is different from others. She felt the same sadness and thought that she was just a teaser in front of these powerful people, just like Grandma Liu.

Xue Baochai is the main character in A Dream of Red Mansions. She was born in the Xue family of four big families, and her father died young, leaving only one disappointing brother. However, unlike the other three, the Xue family was born a businessman. Later generations speculated that her father should be secretly incorporated by the emperor, but after his father died, his brother failed to live up to expectations, and this position was naturally taken back by the emperor. The Xue family is no different from ordinary businessmen. Even because of his brother's disappointment, the Xue family is getting worse every day, and Xue Baochai is even washed away as a candidate maid-in-waiting in Beijing. It can be seen that the Xue family is not what it used to be, and it can only rely on Jia Jia and Wang Jia.

Although the Rong-Guo mansion has nothing to support on the imperial court, its background is still there and it belongs to the powerful class. Even Lin Daiyu, a sponsor, is a good girl. Her father is a powerful minister, far above the merchant's daughter. Cherish the spring and explore the spring, although she is a concubine, but she is also the daughter of princes and princes, which is not the same as that of merchant women.

Grandma Liu is a poor man. Because of the autumn wind, she came into contact with this big family. She also knows that going to Jiafu is just to make everyone laugh and make everyone happy, but only by making these noble people happy can she get the silver house, so Granny Liu works hard to show her vulgar and ridiculous side. All the people present are ladies who live in the backyard. They have never seen such a vulgar person. Naturally, they laughed their heads off, but Xue Baochai didn't laugh.

Because she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings since she was a child, she feels the same way. In front of the nobles of Jiafu, she and Granny Liu are actually the same. Granny Liu played dumb to get money, and Xue Baochai had to dress up in disguise to get Jia's protection. Both of them have to swallow bitter water for their lives, which is essentially different from these out-of-touch aristocratic ladies.
