14 1: smoking firewood under the snow, grandma Liu made up eight stories; The barn is on fire, and the prospect of Guo Rong's house is worrying.

Subtitle: If Granny Liu watches the fire, she bluntly says that Xue Baochai has never given birth to a child, and Jia Baoyu has never slept with her.

14 1: smoking firewood under the snow, grandma Liu made up eight stories; The barn is on fire, and the prospect of Guo Rong's house is worrying.

It is said that Granny Liu heard that she was coming and wanted to meet her. This seems to be a daily thing, and the old man is very annoyed. There's no harm in meeting an old relative from outside. In fact, what is the status of Jia Mu? Even if there is a death warrant at home, sometimes it may not be met. Besides, grandma Liu. Therefore, behind this interview, there is not only a face for Mrs. Wang, but also a face for Aunt Xue, and it is more meaningful for Wang Xifeng to completely solve Granny Liu.

Some things seem ordinary, but in fact they have always been the way of communication between nobles. The same is true at work. Accompany the leader to meet the customer, and the leader will show you if there is anything to eat. You should get up and avoid it. This kind of innuendo is everywhere in A Dream of Red Mansions. Just because the Jia family is a noble family, interests are everywhere. Noble language is full of meaning. Granny Liu is not sensible and tired of listening to all kinds of jokes, but everyone in the Jia family is used to it.

With less gossip, granny Liu came to see the old lady with trepidation, but the old lady was kind. At her age, she'd better enjoy her old age. Nothing can make the old lady look down on her.

But this granny Liu is several years older than the old lady Jia, but she still has to worry about her family and compare her life with her.

There are always some people who have everything at birth. This is the case with Jia Mu and Jia Jia.

There are always some people who need to work hard to get everything or even get it, so that they lose something in order to get it. Grandma Liu is like this.

The ancients called it "fate". There is no doubt that the "lives" of those people that Granny Liu enviously looks at at this time are all very good. But those who know the result will understand that it is not so good to have it first and then lose it. This is another story.

The first communication between the rich and the poor between Jia Mu and Granny Liu took place in gossip. Here, Jia Mu made all kinds of "self-mockery" with great modesty. But it is quite different from Wang Xifeng's domineering appearance. It is the duty of Jia's generation not to bully others. Unfortunately, Wang Xifeng's generation is almost gone.

Grandma Liu Can is seventy-five years old and still walks as fast as a fly, which shows that she is in good health. Her teeth only move a little, so she is healthy. On the contrary, Jia was already weak, which also laid the groundwork for Jia's funeral in the future. It should not be effective in a blink of an eye.

From this point of view, it is not known who is the real "longevity" between Grandma Liu and Grandma Jia. I want to say here that Jia's age has finally begun to show signs, and it is not as big as expected.

Grandmother Jia said granny Liu was several years older than her. According to the expression habit of China people, "how old" means over five years old. Otherwise, most people say four or five years old, three or four years old or just "big". It can be inferred that Jia's age should be 689. Seventy-one days later, it is not the eightieth birthday of Grandmother Jia, but the beginning of the eighth "octogenarian". The ancients "ten is ten days", and eighty days is seventy years old. Jia is only in her early fifties, and Jia politicians are even younger. In line with Mrs. Wang's statement that she is almost fifty. You're welcome.

At the end of the gossip, Grandmother Jia took the initiative to stay with Granny Liu and invited Granny Liu to visit the Grand View Garden. Jia Mu said this and decided to go to the garden tomorrow. Then, why did Granny Liu let Grandmother Jia care so much, not only staying overnight, but also inviting her to visit the garden?

Actually, staying overnight is polite. Relatives are here, and it's already afternoon. There is no reason to let people go back overnight. It is also polite to stay for one night. But the next day, grandma Liu was invited to visit the Grand View Garden, and grandma had some other ideas.

To be sure, there is no need for Jia to show off anything to Granny Liu, and Granny Liu has no special value. But it is necessary to use it.

If Granny Liu's greatest use value is "poverty". If people are short-sighted, they will be rich if they are poor. It is also an education to let the rich sons, ladies and grandmothers of the Jia family see the true face of poverty.

Only by "knowing the rich and the poor" can we "know the rise and fall" and cherish the present. Jia's intention is of course good, but only Jia Tanchun can really understand it. Later, the reform of the Grand View Garden in the spring was precisely because of ruthlessness and poverty.

Anyway, since Granny Liu is right in the eyes of Grandmother Jia, the test for her will come. How to please Jia Mu is the key problem that she must face. At this time, Granny Liu showed the psychological quality of this unusual rural old lady and started a conversation in front of the Jia family. Some didn't say anything. Anyway, she was sure that the Jia family couldn't verify it.

In fact, granny Liu is not uncommon in life. She has no class, but she is a typical socialite. She doesn't get stage fright when she meets people, and she just talks nonsense. As soon as Grandma Liu started talking, there were three seemingly integrated jokes, which actually told different stories.

Let's start with a story, firewood under the snow.

"Smoking firewood under the snow", when you see the snow, you will know that it points to Xue Baochai. Don't get involved with Qiaojie in the future. This is a foreshadowing of Xue Baochai's life.

The story of smoking firewood under the snow needs the most attention at four points:

First, "smoking firewood under the snow" refers to the urgent need for heating. And the big girl smoked other people's firewood for "stealing" and "sharing profits". If you combine the "(melon bān) tea set that Miaoyu brought to Xue Baochai the next day, you will know that the word (melon bān) means Xue Jialai and Jia Fufen (melon).

"Smoking firewood under the snow" means that the Xue family went bankrupt and had to come to Jia's house to get married, so as to help themselves by "holding a group to keep warm".

Second, "not a guest" is naturally a relative or family member. Xue Baochai will be Jia's "biological" in the future.

Third, "longevity" originally refers to Jia Mu. When we first met, Granny Liu used this name to call Jia Mu. But it's not normal to keep calling the birthday girl at this time.

As the saying goes, saying things is extremely contrary. From Shi Xiangyun's treat, Grandmother Jia recalled the pillow Xiage kowtowing to herself, and Wang Xifeng mentioned the old birthday girl. This time Granny Liu mentioned it twice, and Grandmother Jia mentioned it three times in one day, indicating that the old lady's life will not last long. This also implies that Jia's tragedy is approaching.

Fourth, "It turned out to be a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen, with shiny hair and a white silk skirt-"This kind of dress was hardly worn by the ancients every day.

First of all, "extremely beautiful" generally means that there are many young wives, so it is not enough to use them on "girls", let alone "little girls".

Secondly, "combing your hair" is a metaphor. Before marriage, women should comb their hair and apply hair oil. "Glossy" hair accessories are generally kannika nimtragol, not a little girl, because there are many fetal hairs, there will inevitably be many broken hair.

Finally, the "red coat and white silk skirt" was not worn by the ancients at the same time. "Red coat" represents happiness, and "white silk skirt" represents mourning. These two colors were taboo in ancient times.

Then, linking the story of grandma Liu smoking firewood under the snow and combining the context, we will find that we can restore an interesting outline of Xue Baochai's story.

After the bankruptcy of the Xue family, Aunt Xue was unable to support herself, and this little dude Xue Pan was doomed to fail. As a last resort, Wang Xifeng's father and two brothers gave her sister an idea to go to Beijing to plan Kim's marriage.

What draft, golden lock, cold fragrant pill, are all hype means, highlighting Xue Baochai's extraordinary, corresponding to Jia Baoyu was born with jade.

Xue's marriage to Jia Fu revived the four families. Guo Rongfu, in particular, will form the most favorable situation in which Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai are in charge. The Xue family can continue to get the support of Jia Jia and Wang Jia. This is "smoking firewood under the snow".

Disembarking, the Jia family has another Lin Daiyu. The Jia family didn't want to hang themselves from a tree in the Wangs' house. She could see clearly the nature of the golden marriage. It is also difficult for Xue Baochai to marry Jia's family unless Jia's mother dies. Even Jia Zheng supports his mother.

The accident happened after Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu got engaged, and Jia Baoyu was framed. Lin Daiyu forced her to agree to marry Jia Tanchun and become a princess in a foreign country, and soon she died in tears.

Dai died, Chai married, and because she failed her daughter, she was repeatedly hit and seriously ill. Jia Baoyu "celebrated" the Lady Dowager for the big festival of human relations, and agreed to marry Xue Baochai as the second wife, thus forming a golden marriage. (Please continue to pay attention for details. )

Unfortunately, Jia Jia didn't survive in the end. On the wedding day, Jia Mu died and the happy event turned into a funeral. Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai were in mourning for a year and could not consummate their marriage. It was not until Jia's property was seized that Jia Baoyu left home to become a monk. Xue Baochai is a perfect woman and naturally has no son "Jia Gui". ...

This is the origin of "not a guest", "birthday girl" and "it turned out to be a beautiful little girl of seventeen or eighteen, with a shiny head and a red coat and a white silk skirt-"

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside. It turns out that "the water has gone in the stable in the south yard, which is irrelevant and has been saved."

Also pay attention to "stable fire". "Fire" is a curse in A Dream of Red Mansions. "It's so clean to fall on a piece of white land" is the horror after the fire.

Through the story of grandma Liu smoking firewood under the snow, we also know that her death and Xue Baochai's marriage will lead to the "disaster" of the Jia family.

The fire in the "stable" is not anywhere else, but the air leakage in all directions of the "stable", which is also the present situation of Jia family's poverty.

And "stability" even implies that Jia Fu's previous military achievements are also due to "the army", which is in line with Jia Yuanchun's statement that "the tiger seeks the skin and dreams of returning to his hometown".

So, are there many clues in Grandma Liu's story? Not counting this, the other two stories she will tell later are also very interesting. If you want to know how, listen to the next decomposition!
