My opinion on Wang Xifeng's character in Zhou Ji

Wang Xifeng is the most vivid figure in A Dream of Red Mansions, a figure full of vitality, and a high crystallization of the smart, fierce and vicious housewife's character in the big family of feudal times. The author's every move in writing about Wang Xifeng seems to hold her heart tightly, so it is more vivid in her. As soon as the role appeared, it was full of energy and in full swing. With only a few strokes, the author vividly presents a unique "provocative commodity" in Jiafu:

"Before I finished my speech, I heard laughter from the backyard and said,' I'm late, so I don't have to see guests from afar!' Daiyu thought, "These people are holding their breath. "。 Who is this man? Is it impolite to celebrate your birthday like this? Just thinking about it, I saw a group of daughters-in-law and maids holding a beautiful woman came in from the back room. This person is dressed differently from the girls: colorful embroidery shines like a fairy princess. …… "

I haven't seen her before, but I heard her voice for the first time. Xifeng's "behind the scenes" is really a personalized character language. In a short description of less than 1000 words, we saw a "Wang Xifeng with extremely beautiful appearance, extremely refreshing speech and extremely meticulous mind". She is a hot celebrity in the Jia family and a busy person. She was busy, so she was late. She is very busy, so in this short party, she and Mrs. Wang talked about two foreign affairs. Even in the conversation with Daiyu, she was very busy: just after a few words with a smile, she shed tears for the death of Daiyu's mother, and the tears flowed before she came. She blamed herself for not causing her grandmother's sorrow like this. She was busy turning grief into joy, asking Daiyu to study and take medicine, and taking care of things such as moving things and cleaning the house for Miss Lin. She is red, so she is rude when everyone is' holding their breath, being polite and clean'; She is very popular. Since she came, the whole story has fallen on her side, and the grandmother has fallen behind, and Daiyu has become a witness. The reason why Wang Xifeng can be so overbearing and outspoken is mainly determined by her identity and status. She was born in the Wangs of Jinling No.1 Overlord. She is related to Jia, Shi and Xue, and has been in-laws for generations. Uncle Wang Ziteng was promoted from our Beijing camp to Jiupin Zhengzhong, and he was a very powerful figure at that time. When Wang Xifeng arrived at Jiafu, her husband Jia Lian was the eldest son of Nagato and the legal heir and housekeeper of Guo Rongfu, so she also had the housework power of the prime minister. The love and hate of Jia, the highest parent of Jia's family, determines people's fate. She especially likes Wang Xifeng. Therefore, relying on the in-laws of Wang Ziteng and Jia Yuanchun and her own intelligence, Wang Xifeng mastered the authority of this noble family. Therefore, Wang Xifeng's personality is clearly shown for the first time, but it is far from comprehensive. With the development of the story, the author waved a huge pen and showed Wang Xifeng's multifaceted personality characteristics step by step, shaping a successful artistic model for us. Through her, the author more fully reveals the decay and evil of feudal families.

She is sharp-edged, daunting, decisive and full of energy. Zhou Rui's wife once said to Grandma Liu: "Miss Feng is younger, but she is older than anyone else. If you like a beautiful woman now, I'm afraid you have 10 thousand minds. If you have to gamble, ten talking men can't say no to her! " She assisted Qin Keqing and Shi Xia of Ningguo Mansion, and saw the five major drawbacks of Ningguo Mansion from the beginning: "First, the population is mixed and things are lost; Second, things are not managed, and avoiding the heavy is light; Third, spend money and take the initiative; Fourth, regardless of the size, the bitterness and joy are uneven; Fifth, the family background is arrogant, and those with faces can't take cymbals, and those without faces can't make progress. " She is observant, comprehensive in analysis, familiar with the situation and clear in responsibilities; Secondly, careful evaluation should not be confused; Third, strict rewards and punishments, establish prestige. So the clues are clear, busy but not chaotic, and they do their jobs in an orderly manner. She is competitive, showing off her power, self-righteous and self-centered. This can be seen from Granny Liu's first visit to the city to give Wang Xifeng a windfall:

That Xifeng is ... pink and shiny. He sat there with a small copper fire in his hand, stirring the ashes in the stove. Pinger stood on the edge of the kang, holding a small lacquer tea tray with a small bell in it. Feng didn't drink tea or look up. She just dusted the stove and asked slowly, "Why don't you come in?" "

In fact, the elderly granny Liu has been kneeling underground for a long time. She, a young woman in her twenties, sat on the kang, stirring the ashes in the stove. It can be seen how arrogant and lazy Wang Xifeng is and loves to ignore reason. It tells Granny Liu and others, including the unreasonable board clamoring for meat, how to hold her breath when she enters the house. People even dare to make a slight noise. Grandma Liu, who could have spoken vividly, was incoherent in front of the majesty of Wang Xifeng. At first, "your nephew" and "your nephew" didn't sound good, but at twenty taels of silver, he was so happy that he said something even more inappropriate, such as "the thin camel is bigger than the horse", which made everyone in Zhou Rui's family blink. Wang Xifeng has always claimed to be a legislator, who is responsible for the fate of others. "Whatever it is, I will do it." So, she forced Cai Xia to marry the son of Caiwang, and Zhang Jinge's marriage was cancelled by a complaint. Jia Yun begged: Jia Lian arranged an errand, but Wang Xifeng refused to go her way, so she simply gave up her position to Jia Qin. Wang Xifeng shows off not only economy, management, personnel decision-making, marriage control, but also killing people to seize power. She ordered Wang Er to kill Zhang Hua, forcing you Erjie to death, and she is still at large, which is proof.

She flatters. In order to monopolize the housework, Wang Xifeng tried every means to please Jia Mu and satisfy her spiritual and material enjoyment. She is used to doing what people like, improvising and gagging. When I first met Lin Daiyu, she smiled and said, "There are such beautiful people in the world. I just met them today! Moreover, this whole body style is not like the great-grandson of the ancestors, but actually the granddaughter of the first family. " Here, it seems that Wang Xifeng is enthusiastically praising Lin Daiyu's beauty, but when I think about it, it is Wang Xifeng who is flattering her grandmother with ulterior motives. Jia said that when she was a child, she had a scar on her sideburns and almost died. However, Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "From the child's happiness, we can see that his ancestors are not small either. It is also a strange coincidence that he met that nest. It turned out to be a nest on the head of the birthday girl. Because the birthday girl is full, it stands out. " Look at how skillful Wang Xifeng is in rhetoric and make fun of it. Although what she said was absurd, she just quoted classics in a serious way, which made her look particularly vivid and magnificent. Jia She, an old goat who wants to eat swan meat, wants the old lady's maid Yuanyang to be his concubine. The old lady blamed her daughters-in-law, and Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I don't blame the old lady. It was the old lady who found me." "Who taught the old lady to recuperate, recuperate like water onion, how to blame somebody else! Fortunately, I am the grandson's daughter-in-law. If I were a grandson, I would have wanted it long ago and waited until now. " You see, Wang Xifeng is very talkative. When she said it, everything changed. She can turn ugliness into beauty, turn danger into safety, turn iron into gold and add icing on the cake. What she said was so clever and decent that she blew the grandmother's skill without offending Jia She, an elder. Originally, the grandmother was angry and accused the younger generation at random. The air was dull and tense, as if a window had been opened in people's hearts. Not only was the stifling and dreary air suddenly replaced by the fresh and comfortable airflow, but the suspicion and blame between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately became cordial and smiling.

She is greedy for money, and her desires are hard to satisfy. Wang Xifeng is the most powerful housekeeper in Guo Rongfu. In order to pursue pleasure and maintain vanity, she pays attention to ostentation and extravagance in everything, and is afraid of saving money and making people laugh, so she spends money like water and lavishes money. As Jia Rong said, "The imperial concubine only rewards colored satin. Antique gadgets only reward 120 gold, which is worth a pile of silver. What is enough? In the past two years, didn't you lose thousands of taels of silver? " However, Wang Xifeng is stingy in increasing private property. She amassed wealth by various means, and her greed and selfishness reached an alarming level. She plucked the goose's hair, exploited her nature, and sucked her bone marrow, doing all kinds of evil and being extremely cruel! In order to enjoy 3,200 taels of silver, she used Tiejian Temple to "write a letter under the guise of Jia Lian's instructions", and through our time in Chang 'an County, she forced Zhang Jinge to break off her marriage, resulting in the tragedy of an unmarried couple committing suicide. She even deducted a servant's salary of only one or two silver a month to lend usury. This alone has scraped thousands of taels of silver in less than a year. Later, when I raided my property, I "copied two boxes of deeds and borrowed another box of tickets, all of which were illegal profits" and "profiteering and exploitation". Wang Xifeng not only kept her husband Jia Lian's money and set up a private bank, but also tried every means to wipe Jia Lian's oil. There is no veil of affection between them, only naked money interests. Once, Jia Lian wanted to borrow the old lady's gold and silver utensils as money and let Wang Xifeng tell Yuanyang. Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian for one or two hundred and twenty pieces of silver as a reward. Even Jia Lian was a little surprised that the husband and wife were so mercenary and said, "It's great to bother you to say a word and make a fortune at the moment!" "

She has a sweet mouth and a bitter heart. She has two sides and three knives. She smiles on high and stumbles on low. This is a knife in fire and darkness. She is exquisite in every way, bribing people, treacherous and cunning, and can't kill anyone. Jia Lian sent a decree to marry Second Sister You, and Wang Xifeng's position in the Jia family was threatened. While searching for tears, she lured Second Sister You to live in Jia's house, and at the same time, she took various insidious measures such as "impeded the life" and "sit quietly and watch the tiger fight", which drove Second Sister You to commit suicide by swallowing gold, and even her six-month-old fetus killed two people.

In a word, Wang Xifeng's arrogance, duplicity, cheating, oppression, jobbery, bribery, collusion between officials and businessmen, criminals rampant, Li stiff, cats crying and mice, taking the opportunity to blackmail and retaliate, really did everything possible. Just as Jiang Hesen said: "The bravery of the snake, the heart of the tiger, the posture of the flower willow, the appearance of the warbler and all kinds of cleverness have achieved a clever combination in her." She is a master of all kinds of roles, a power traitor, a philistine, an evil woman, a hypocrite, a snob and so on. She was extremely clever and resourceful, but in the end, she ended up with a shameful end of "all organs were exhausted and Qingqing's life was missed". Cao Xueqin faced the bleak life, explored the tremor of the soul and went deep into life. With the dialectical artistic vision of genius, he mastered the complex combination of multiple qualities such as character and psychology, and created vivid and typical images for us, which has permanent artistic charm.
